Sorry I've taken so long to update, but like I said my muse is back and working in over time. So I'll probably be posting more in the next few days. There is a scene in here I finally go out that I'd had planned since the very beginning. I love you all who've read my story so far. And I really am sorry for the wait. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with The Used the Broken and The Forgotten. I know where its going just not how I want to get there. I've re-read it more times then I can count and still can't come up with anything.

As for "You" I'm thinking of merging it with a plot I have for another story I've started (but haven't published) and until I figure out if its going to mesh or not I wont be working more on it.

However I hate to promise but I'll probably have another chapter for this story and Two Sides of a Mirror soon. I got over the major hurtle for this story so its smooth sailing from here on out

DHT-

Plz Review.

April started off as a good April should- It rained for 2 days straight. Which was fine for Yugi considering he didn't have much free time. It was coming down to the wire for prom and there was still a lot to be done. Yugi was spending less and less time with his friends because honestly he preferred to spend his free time with Marik. Free time that didn't come up often. Yami noticed but was often distracted by the wedding .

Yugi had noticed that Malik seemed to be looking at him when he thought he(being Yugi) wouldn't notice. It was starting to unnerve him a bit. Was his mind playing tricks on him or was the blonde Egyptian really staring at him? He found even when he would spend time with his friends he was often left alone with Marik's counterpart.

"Hey Yugi do you have a date for prom yet?" Malik asked him one day while they were working on the decorations.

"Hmm no I'm not going" Yugi answered quickly trying to decided between two colors.

Malik was a bit shocked. Surely Yugi would want to go…maybe with him?

"Why do all this work if you don't want to go" Malik said looking up toward the ceiling.

"It's a gift to my friends, I suppose. Prom isn't really my thing anyway. To many people. I'd rather enjoy a night in with the one I love" Yugi said.

Malik's heart fluttered a bit. Was Yugi in love with someone else?

"Do you love someone?" Malik asked curiously he had a lot riding on this answer.

Yugi kept working smoothly trying to remain calm. But how was he to answer? He didn't want to lie and deny Marik…but it wasn't time to let the others know.

"Can you keep a secret Malik?" Yugi smiled.

"Yah" Malik said, his heart was about in his throat.

"There is someone I love. And I'm pretty sure he loves me too." Yugi smiled drifting off somewhere in his mind talking to Malik. "He's exotic, and strong, and smart, and loyal despite what others might think. He's made some mistakes in his life, but that's ok, because really who hasn't? " Then Yugi caught himself and shook his head blushing. He couldn't meet Malik's eyes, I mean really he was speaking of his Yami.

Malik remained silent. Now he was sure Yugi was in love with someone other then him….

----

"But Malik! Don't you see!" Ryou said throwing an arm around his sandy haired friend. "Who do we know that fits that description hmm?"

Malik blushed and looked away "Your strong and loyal and smart! And Egyptian is very exotic around here. You've made your mistakes as all of us have. But its in the past. And maybe he hasn't been as blind to your advances as we thought. Yugi's always been pretty shy. Maybe this was just his way of telling you he liked you too!"

"You think so?" Malik asked hopeful. And Ryou nodded his head "I'm sure of it!"

---

Yugi rushed home, but was surprised to see Yami there. He smiled all the same.

"Hello Aibou"

"Hey Yami, what are you doing here. I figured you be working with Seto" Yugi said confused.

"Well we have a lot already figured out, and we decided that we had both been neglecting our families a bit to much. So Seto is taking Mokuba out tonight and I was hoping we could do something" Yami flashed him a smile.

Yugi had been hoping to spend the evening with Marik. But it Yami was giving up his time with Seto, Yugi could do the same. "Alright. I have missed spending time with you."

Yami positively beamed "Good go change out of your school uniform" he ushered Yugi upstairs.

The first thing Yugi did was pick up his phone "Hey Marik, yah I'm out of school, but listen I wont be able to make it over tonight. Yami planned a surprise. He wanted to spend the evening with him. You understand right" –"Ok thanks I'll see you tomorrow! All day I love you bye"

And with that he changed for his night out with Yami.

----

It was a lot of fun. They had gone to see a movie that only they would only have ventured in each other's company. Transformers : The Movie. Seto refused to watch it, claiming it would ruin the original, scoffing at a live action version. Marik well, what interest did he have in giant talking, transforming robots? No but Yugi and Yami had both secretly wanted to see it. A secret they didn't mind sharing with the other. Despite everything they were still very close.

It was just that closeness that almost brought Yugi to telling Yami about Marik. He couldn't stand hiding it from his dark. And he didn't really like the thought of hiding Marik forever…Yami would understand right? In the end his lips stayed sealed.

-----

Time passed quickly and soon it was the night of Prom. Malik sat in his house dejected. He hadn't gotten a chance to ask Yugi to go with him to prom. Or even speak to the other about his feelings. Every chance he had Yugi was busy with something or another.

Ishizu came out and sat next to her brother placing a hand on his shoulder. "Go to him. Did he not tell you he would rather spend the night in with the one he loved? I'm sure he would not reject your company"

Malik smiled at his sister "Your right." He said with a sigh "I just hope he does feel the same…." He trailed off going up stairs to change.

---

This found Malik an hour later in front of the Kami Game Shop. He adjusted his shirt one more time before knocking on the door. And elderly man Malik recognized as Yugi's grandfather answered the door.

"Why hello there Malik, what can I help you with?" Mr. Mouto asked.

"I was hoping to see Yugi" Malik smiled

"I'm sorry he stepped out about an hour and a half ago, and said he'd been gone till morning. I'm not sure where he went." Mr. Mouto informed Malik.

"Oh I see, Um maybe I can meet up with him somewhere. I'll try his cell phone. Thanks Mr. Mouto" Malik bowed and waved good bye.

"Such a nice boy." Mr Mouto said to himself as he shut the door.

But Malik couldn't find Yugi, he wouldn't answer his phone- it had gone straight to voice mail. But Malik didn't feel like going home either. He sat in the part by himself. Maybe Yugi had gone to prom after all…but he couldn't show up there not if Yugi was with someone else…

----

Yugi was with someone else. He had gone over to Marik' s and enjoyed a meal his boyfriend had cooked for him. They were currently relaxing on the couch.

"Yugi." Marik breathed into Yugi's ear. As he wrapped his hand around Yugi's "I'm sorry you missed your Senior Prom"

"Its ok, like I was telling Malik. Prom isn't my thing. To many people. This here is perfect, spending time with the one I love" Yugi leaned back and kissed Marik.

Marik just held Yugi tight. "I love you very much you know that right"

"Yah" Yugi smiled back to Marik.

"Would you dance with me at least?" Marik asked a blush on his face.

"Of course my love" Yugi said standing from the couch. "I'd love nothing more"

Marik smile and walked over to his newly acquired CD player, (that Yugi had taught him how to use) and turned it on as a soft song filled the room. (A/N since no more song fics, the song is Sarah MacLachlian's Arms of an Angel). Yugi smiled and moved in close just letting the music and his love for Marik guide him. He felt lighter then air. At this moment he knew. Marik was the one he wanted to love for the rest of his life. Graduation he promised himself that he would tell the others by then. That is if Marik agreed. For now he would just enjoy himself. The song seemed to last forever, which was just prefect for Yugi for he wished it would never ever end.

Marik was having similar sentiments. He'd never known what love was until he had meet Yugi. And now he didn't think he could live with out it. Yugi was his angel that's why he had picked this song. He'd been thinking a lot, and if Yugi would stand by him. Which he knew he would at this point, he'd let his presence be known to the rest. He knew it must be killing Yugi to hide something from his darker half.

He envied Yugi and Yami in the respect and hoped one day he could have a close relationship with his own light. Even Bakura had made progress with Ryou. It wasn't impossible. They kept moving as the music changed in the background. Neither caring they could spend all night like this.

Marik knew of Yami and Seto's marriage and he idly wondered if the man in his arms would consider that kind of ceremony with him. Perhaps he would ask him after his graduation in a month. Marik had waited this long for the answer he could wait until then.

Marik leaned down and kissed Yugi as a particularly personal song came on.(Nickelback: Far Away)The words didn't match perfectly he knew but the feel and emotion of the song did. Tears almost came to his eyes. He would die if he never saw Yugi again.

Yugi returned the passion in the kiss realizing how much Marik needed it right now. He raised his arms to wrap his arms tightly around Marik's neck. The kiss soon turned from passion to include lust as Marik started to kiss his way down Yugi's neck. He stopped himself though. As of yet he and Yugi hadn't had sex. As far as he knew Yugi was a virgin. He wanted to prove to Yugi he wanted him for more then his body. But that was becoming increasingly hard.

However his self-control was stolen from him by a few works. "Its ok I love you. You can have all of me..if you want it" and Yugi kissed Marik hard. A kiss that when directly south.

"Are you sure?" Marik trying his hardest to reign in his hormones.

"Yes Marik, I'm sure I love you and if you want me, I'd be glad to loose myself to you. I want nothing more" Yugi further impacted his statement by leading Marik into his bedroom.

Marik followed as the smaller one took his wrist and lead him to the bed. There he laid down, as Marik followed capturing his lips in a passion love filled kiss. If Yugi really wanted his first time to be right now well then Marik would make it perfect.

"If your sure undress and I'll be right back" Yugi just nodded he had an idea of what Marik was going to get. He wasn't an expert but he knew the vague idea of how two males made love.

He slipped out of his leather pants and black top. He also removed his collar; his boot had been removed earlier. He felt slightly self conscious; Marik had never seen him naked.

Marik however was shaking. Everything he had ever wanted was being offered to him And he knew that he didn't deserve it but he wasn't going to turn it away. He was in heaven and never wanted to come back home. He pulled some lotion from his vanity and removed his own clothes. He looked at himself in the mirror momentarily. He hoped Yugi would like it. He turned back out not to keep his angel waiting.

Marik enter the room and his mouth went dry. Yami may have been the pharaoh but Yugi was the god on earth. "Oh my Ra your beautiful" Marik whispered out.

He leaned down and kissed Yugi slowly and passionately before he hand a chance to respond.

----Lemon starts here it wont be to graphic (nothing that breaks the rating rules) but I know not everyone cares for them so here you go---

Yugi thought he should be nervous but every thought of such left his body with that kiss. If Marik though Yugi was beautiful had he seen himself ever before? There was no way he compared.

Marik slowly made his way down Yugi's body intent on mapping every inch of his skin with his mouth. Yugi just turned to goo, letting out encouraging moans. He arched his back up with Marik reached his nipples. Barely noticing the attention Marik was paying to his backside.

If he thought anything felt good the sensation of Marik's mouth around his over heated member was bliss and he nearly lost it all right then. As it was it didn't take long for him to loose his seed into Marik's waiting mouth. But that was ok. Marik had prepared his entrance.

He pulled Yugi into another kiss then whispering to him. "Are you really sure? After this we can't go back"

Yugi vaguely wondered where Marik got his self-control. "Marik" Yugi gasped "If you don't finish this I'll kill you." He breathed out starting to respond to Marik's touches again.

That's all Marik needed before he slowly entered Yugi an inch at a time. Yugi hissed in pain but Marik whispered comforting words and showered him with kisses, Yugi wouldn't let him stop. He needed this. And soon he was all the way in as the pain faded to pleasure.

It was the most beautiful thing on the earth at that moment as the two joined as one. All seemed right with the world. Yugi never knew anything could feel this good…this complete. For the first time in his life he felt whole. He clung to Marik as the other slowly moved in and out of him, making love. There was no other way to describe it. Even those words didn't do it justices.

But then it was over as Yugi screamed out Marik's name as he came for the second time that night. His muscles constricting on Marik causing the Egyptian to spill deep within his now lover…he like that term lover.

----Lemon over----

"I love you" Marik said as he collapsed on Yugi and held him tight in his arms.

Yugi was catching his breath. And Marik moved so they could sleep comfortably.

"Sleep well my love" Yugi kissed Marik and pulled in close.

"You as well my Hunmanit" Marik said resting his head on top of Yugi. They even fit perfectly together.

Yugi decided he'd ask Marik what that meant in the morning.

------------

Malik awoke with a start from the tree he had dozed off in front of. He would defiantly need a change of clothing…but that's not what bothered him the most. He would go insane if he didn't get the truth from Yugi. He had out here his first dream of sex with Yugi….though it felt kind of dirty to call it that. Like he was defiling it.

It was slow and the most beautiful dream yet. His heart ached to make it come true. He couldn't take it he started to cry. And the rain started to fall. He loved Yugi with all of his heart and soul he just knew it. The other had to feel this way. He couldn't feel this deeply for someone if they didn't feel the same. It was against the laws of the universe. The next time he saw Yugi he'd confess he swore he would.

But for now he wept for the love that kept escaping him.

----

On the other side of town several couples were oblivious to the pain of their friend. Ryou was happily making out with Duke in the back of the gym. Yami and Seto had left early in favor of other activates. Mai and Joey were happily dancing to some sappy love song. Serenity and Tristan were staying clear of Joey and Mai but still enjoying themselves. And Bakura was trying to convince Tea that taking the centerpiece he liked, wasn't technically stealing because well the class had bought it and he was a part of the class so technically it did belong to him.

They all swore to thank Yugi later.

----

Even Mokuba was entertaining a Ms Rebecca Hawkins at the mansion the two having become close over the years.

Everyone had someone but Malik, and he could feel it in his bones as she started to shiver and make his way home. Wishing he had brought his jacket. Hopefully though he wouldn't have to spend to many more nights alone…graduation…he'd tell Yugi by graduation …maybe they could do something together afterwards…he wasn't sure where Yugi was going to school (or even that he was). But he would follow him anywhere.

His spirits lifted as he though over what his life could be like with Yugi. It was things like this that got him through the dark moments

"I love you Yugi Mouto. And I know you love me too. I'll prove it too you, and you'll be mine." He whispered to himself. Taking no heed to the rain.

----

Yugi slept soundly in the arms of Marik, not knowing the pain he caused his love's lighter half. Nor that their relationship was having the effect it was.

In less then a month it would all come crashing down. But for the moment fate was content to let him have his little piece of Heaven. They knew he and Marik deserved it, however fleeting it might be.

/cries/ I don't hate Malik I promise! He'll eventually get someone…but he's torturing me. He keeps yelling "I want Yugi give him to me!" but hes /not/ getting him. For this fic Yugi belongs to Marik. I've got a vague idea of how I'm eventually going to pair him with, but I'll take suggestions if someone has a really good idea.
