Two men guiding their crew trough the tomb of the nameless pharaoh, yesterday they found the resting chamber and today they will open the doors, they hope they can find the name of this pharaoh and prove Atem was real back in the days.
When they reach the door they use tools to break open the door that leads to the pharaoh's final resting place, the two tricoloured haired men are exited, finally they will learn more about this pharaoh, if he had a lover at his side, if he was married, or if he had children. All but two questions Atem himself cannot remember but is eager to learn about.
Since the encounter with their parents three years ago Yugi isn't himself, he has strange dreams that keep him awake all night long, and he strangely cannot explain what the dreams mean, because of that the wedding is cancelled for the time being, that, and the fact they don't know who will take the others name.
Atem's parents are arrested and send back to Egypt for their trials.
Yugi's father was mad about the fact his only son didn't want to do anything with him, but it where Yugi's younger three sisters who visited him and realised Yugi is indeed happy with Atem. They are even invited to the wedding whenever that will take place, his father however not.
When Pegasus asked them to lead the team about the nameless pharaoh the dreams Yugi has become more vicious and Atem almost didn't want to lead this expedition, it's Yugi who decided they would do it in the hope to find answers they themselves cannot give.
When the stone door finally is removed they walk inside, and what strikes them is the things inside are there in a pear, the pots with the intestines are double, and there are two coffins inside placed next to each other.
One coffin represents that of the pharaoh, so they know this is Atem's, but who is the person in the second coffin?
By reading the hieroglyphics they learn the second coffin belongs to Heba, it seemed this person was pronounced to be the temple of the pharaoh because they looked so much like the pharaoh, if Heba didn't agree to these term they would be killed.
Heba agreed and was taken every night by the then still prince, their relationship from temple to pharaoh grew to lovers and with their hazed because of Zorc they entered marriage only a day after the coronation of the Pharaoh, but during the fight against Zorc Heba got killed. It happened shortly before the young pharaoh scarified himself.
While reading the scrolls and looking to the picture of Zorc, Yugi and Atem both share a look of mischief, it's Yugi who finally decides to pop the question what makes many colleges look like bumping cars. "So if he just had sex he was able to act maybe a little bit nicer?" pointing to the second head in between Zorc his legs.
"Who knows, if mine manhood looked like this I probably also would be pissed off for not getting laid, man he must have been in pain, I almost feel sorry for the guy." Atem responds with a smirk. Several tools fall to the ground, their team know the two are pretty sexual perverted towards each other and they are speaking over it like how nice the weather is outside, but to hear it every time shocked them still.
With eager their co-workers want to know if Heba was a female or male temple because that's still vague although Yugi and Atem already know since they had their memory returned during entering their relationship, but because nobody knows about this single fact, Atem and Yugi never told them and since the previous priests only spoke about they, their co-workers realise they need to check the coffin to find out the gender. So carefully they open it and what is reviled shocked them all including Yugi and Atem. Inside the coffin they see not one but three bodies.
One is obviously Heba, the other two are as big as babies in the 7th month of pregnancy. "So Heba was pregnant when it happened, it explains why they did marry and free Heba from their duty as temple." Atem says softly.
"Yes." Yugi whispers feeling a head-age starting to pester him.
"Open that one also." Atem orders a few men.
When the coffin is open they look inside. "No this is defiantly the pharaoh, in the scrolls they say the pharaoh was at least 5 cm larger than Heba was, so the only logical explanation they can give is Heba was a male and had the gift of carrying children." One of the co-workers says while Atem looks to his now extremely pale fiancé.
"Yugi, you okay?" Atem asks reaching out. Capture him just on time to make sure Yugi doesn't injuring his head during the fall.
Dream:
Yugi passes out, the dreams fully entering him as he sees the past, he sees himself and how he was arrested for violating the laws, how the pharaoh looked to the boy with venom but how the prince sees the innocence in this boy. How the prince decides to save his life and make a temple out of him.
Yugi sees how the two share the bed the same way they do it in their own time, himself the dominant and the prince the submissive who obviously enjoys the treatment the younger is giving him. But how the simple love making made the boy become pregnant.
He sees how the boy's stomach grows and how much the prince enjoys the fact of becoming father. He sees how they beg to release Heba from his duty as temple and how they want to get married as soon as the prince is Pharaoh.
They have seen how the prince his father warmed for young Heba and agreed with their wish to become husbands especially because Heba has the gift of becoming pregnant.
He sees how the prince his father dies and he cries with his fiancé about the lost. Together they prepare the burial and the coronation.
How the two fight side by side against Zorc and how Heba gets killed before he and Atem can even start the sacrifice.
Then a big flash a male looking the same as Yugi looks towards him. "Finally you arrived." Heba says.
"So you did carry those two babies? Why did you fight instead of keeping them save?" Yugi asks.
"Atem and I were inseparable from the moment he asked his father to grand me the gift of being his temple, if there was a riot going on and Atem needed to go, I didn't want to leave him behind, we agreed to destroy Zorc together by sealing him away together." Heba explains.
"Pretty much like me and Atem." Yugi whispers. "We also are attached to the hip and work the best if we are together, that's the reason why they don't give us separated teams.
"And the gods know that Yugi, they see the two of you have the same relationship as what I had with my fiancé, and they want to give us also a second chance, but for that we need you. Two will be born, two will become yours, they will carry on the bloodline, but only one gets the gift." Heba says and walks closer to Yugi, he stretches his arm and touches Yugi's stomach. A warm light enters Yugi and with a big flash he feels himself waking up.
Dream ends:
Something soft and comfy lays under him, finding it strange because he really thought he was still in the tomb, he opens his eyes and blinks a few times to get the blurry feeling out of his sight. A soft but steady beeping noise reaches his ears, moving his left hand to wipe the tiredness out of his eyes he realises he has tubes in it.
Confused he looks towards his hand. "How the hell did I end up into the hospital?" he asks softly.
"By passing out and scaring the living daylight out of me?" the soft voice from Atem says.
Yugi looks towards his right side and sees Atem sitting there, tired eyes and wrinkles in his cheeks probably from the cheats he fell asleep on. "How long?"
"Three days, you were completely unresponsive, pretty much like I was several years ago, but your brain activity was the only thing working."
"I had a dream, about Heba, he was indeed the temple and although it was the intention that Heba got taken by you as the prince, he took you the same way like me. But during the love making like we also do sometimes, Heba got pregnant 7 months before you would become pharaoh. Like me Heba could be a stubborn kid and in the fight against Zorc, Heba got killed shortly before you sacrificed yourself. It was their intention to sacrifices themselves at the same time. The dreams that were blurry before are now answered to me."
"I realised that when you passed out, but still, I was so worried about you, the doctors told me they found something you didn't had before." Atem says laying his hand on his fiancés stomach.
"I know, Heba gave me a gift, the same gift he was given, and he asked me to take care of it very well. He also gave me a riddle." Yugi says and continues. " Two will be born, two will become yours, they will carry on the bloodline, but only one gets the gift. I realised now we will have two children born out our love. But I don't understand the last part."
"Let's worry about that later. For now we have to decide which line will we pick to carry on?"
"I give you the decision." Yugi says before falling asleep and giving Atem the choice of with name they will carry together.
