Alright everyone, here's the 2nd part of the chapter…please do review afterwards even just the words "Please update!" or whatever you want to say…but I'm not forcing you.
So again, I don't own yugioh! And on to the story!
It was already nightfall when the reception ended. Both Atem and Tea felt exhausted as they rode the carriage back to Atem's palace. "Hmmm…I'm really tired. Let's just skip the honeymoon, please Atem" Tea pleaded as she laid her back on the soft chair.
"No we can't, Tea. I'm so sorry," Atem answered back as he too laid his back on the chair and cover his eyes with his right arm.
Upon hearing this, Tea stared at Atem perplexed and asked "Why?"
The young pharaoh only smiled, "You'll find out soon when we arrive at the palace."
Tea sigh, "Fine." As Atem's palace can now be seen, the two newlyweds woke up. The carriage finally went to a halt and the two stepped out.
As they did, they were greeted by happy voices. "Congratulations!" Atem and Tea looked in front of them to see that the whole servants as well as Atem's councils prepared a warm welcome to them as they greet the couple.
"Thank you very much," was the only reply of the two.
"Our pharaoh, we will now leave you so that the two of you could have some private time together," Shimon said and Atem only looked at him confuse.
"Private time?" Atem asked and Shimon winked at him. The young pharaoh tried to understand what his council meant while the others looked at each other with questioning looks. "Ah! You mean…" Atem exclaimed and everyone stared at him. "
What is it, Atem?" Tea asked and Atem shook his head.
"Nothing! Anyway let's get going now," the young pharaoh replied as he smiled wryly at Tea. "All of you should rest as well, goodnight everyone and thank you for that warm welcome," he continued as he now turned his gaze towards his servants and councils to hide his now blushing face.
"Alright then, let's now go…rest well our pharaoh and queen Tea," Isis said as she bowed to them and left. Then the servants and other councils bowed to them as well and left.
When the two of them were now left, Tea began to speak. "Queen Tea?" the young girl asked while looking at her friend/husband.
The latter chuckled, "Since you married a pharaoh, it is only appropriate to call you queen."
Tea smiled, "I see, sorry. I still couldn't believe that we're now…"
"…married?" Atem finished for her.
The young girl nodded, "But if they call me queen it seems like I'm old and well it doesn't seem to fit me since I'm still a teenager," Tea explained and the young pharaoh ponder for it.
"You're right Tea, what if we call you princess? And are you saying that I'm already old since they call me pharaoh?" Atem asked with a raised brow.
Tea shook her head, " No! it's not like that…but I want to be called queen as well, but not for now. Anyway calling me princess would be alright, but Atem you're and exception together with Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Duke."
Both then laughed, "Alright then Tea, but you know your name sound a bit modern. Don't you think? Why not make a name that will be remembered easily?" Atem suggested.
"You're right Atem…what if they call me…Teana! Yeah! Princess Teana! But you know Tea is smaller and is easily remembered, but if it's for the sake of you I will change it then," Tea exclaimed with joy.
"Really? But you know…" Atem added with a smile.
"What? There are still things to change in me? Atem what is it? my face?" Tea replied teasingly. Both of them chuckled with that.
"No, I was just kidding. Let's now go to get some rest, shall we?" Atem asked as he looked and extend his right hand to Tea and the young girl held it with her left hand.
"Yeah, I'm really worn out," Tea replied and both of them began walking. As the couple arrives in front of Atem's room door, Atem let go of Tea's hand and took out a white handkerchief from his pocket. Tea stared at him with a raised brow, "What are you going to do with that?"
Atem smiled, "Put this on your eyes, and don't take it off until I said so." The young girl didn't know why Atem was doing this but did what she was told, she trust her friend that what he was planning is good. When Tea had already blindfolded her eyes, Atem held her left hand again and led her inside the room.
"Ok, you can now take off your blindfold," Atem whispered into her ear and Tea followed what he said.
When the blindfold was taken off, Tea saw that the room is dim and only candles lit the place. She also saw that red petals were scattered around the room as well as in their bed, there's also a bottle of wine and 2 wine glass prepared on the table set outside the balcony. Truly the place was wonderful, simple yet worth remembering.
So this was the reason why he didn't want to skip our honeymoon, Tea thought to herself and she couldn't help but smile. Tea was speechless, she just stared at the room with awe. On the other hand, Atem was glad that Tea was surprised, atleast he had manage to give Tea a wonderful honeymoon that would be remembered through her life. Why wouldn't she be staring the place with awe? Atem and his councils had arranged the room this morning, and Atem really thought hard on this. So he was glad that the plan worked well. The young pharaoh then saw that his wife looked weary.
He came behind her and whispered, "Do you like the surprise I planned?"
The young girl who was dazzled by the place only nodded and Atem smiled, "That's great! We should rest now, Tea. I'm sure you're really tired." With that he carried his wife in a bridal style towards their bed and placed her down carefully, Tea got surprised by Atem's action but smiled as she felt the soft mattress took effect on her.
"Thank you, Atem. Finally, I can relax now" Tea said in a hushed tone and closed her eyes. Atem that stood beside her, watched his wife's sleeping figure, she does look like a princess. But when Tea's words finally went to him, he gave a soft giggle that caused the young girl to open her eyes. "What's wrong, Atem?" she asked as she looked at the young pharaoh. Atem just shook his head and came towards Tea.
"Can I sit beside you?" he asked and Tea answered "Sure" while moving a bit to her left giving some space to Atem. The young pharaoh took his place. "So what should we do now?" asked Atem as he stared at Tea.
The young girl gazed to the ceiling, " I don't know…I thought you had something planned, and you said you wanted to rest already."
Atem then diverted his gaze towards the door, "Since were both tired, let's just go to sleep and let's just leave the wine."
Upon hearing that Tea looked at her husband but stopped him when he was about to sleep, "Let's change our clothes first to something comfortable."
The young pharaoh nodded and stood without looking back at Tea, "I'll just change my clothes here."
"Alright then, I'll change my clothes in the bathroom," Tea replied then went to the bathroom.
Minutes passed and Tea now dressed in her white knee length night dress came out of the bathroom. The moment she did so, she shriek and covered her eyes. For there in front of her, sitting in their bed was a topless Atem. Even if the room was dim, she still saw Atem's chest and abs. with the candles only as the light, seeing Atem's upper body only added to the romantic atmosphere that was flowing around. Tea tried her best not to be carried away by the whole thing, but felt herself reddened as to what she saw. Thanks to the candles, Atem couldn't see her flushed face. The young pharaoh on the other hand was startled by the sudden reaction of his wife and just stared dumbfound at Tea.
"What's wrong? He asked confused.
Tea sucked in a breath without removing her hands on her eyes replied, "I'll tell you what's wrong! Why in the world would you sleep topless with a girl?" Atem didn't spoke but ponder it for a moment, upon realizing the reason, he felt embarrassed forgetting that it was Tea's first time seeing a topless guy.
"Sorry Tea, I forgot you're not yet accustomed with this…but it is a hot night today and I usually sleep without my upper clothing," Atem explained but then decided to put back his upper clothing except the cape. "It's ok now, please take away your hands and open your eyes," he added with a smile and sat back again.
Tea did so and slowly opened her eyes, she then sat beside Atem. "You know when you said that I wasn't accustomed in sleeping with a topless guy, sounded like you're challenging me."
Atem smiled with a raised brow, "Really?" Tea nodded with a smile. Atem sigh and looked at Tea with an innocent look, "I didn't say that, but if you say so. I'm doing this for you, you know." After that he just slid under the blanket so that his head can only be seen and faced towards the door, "Night" he whispered with a yawn and closed his eyes.
For a moment Tea just stared at Atem's sleeping figure. She then smiled and came closer to Atem, whispering words to his ear, "You know, its fine with me to sleep beside you even if you're topless", she then back away and waited for the reply of her husband.
Surely Atem turn around and looked straight at Tea's eyes with disbelief, "Really?" Tea nodded. After that Atem stood and face the door as he took off his upper clothing, then turn around towards Tea and said, "Thank you." The young girl just smiled.
As Atem went in their bed and was about to sleep, he noticed shadows as well as hushed voices coming from outside their door. The young pharaoh looked at Tea with a smirk and the young girl stared back with a smirk of her own and a raised brown as if understanding Atem. "So what should we do, princess?" Atem asked softly.
Tea replied, "Just follow me, sly devil." Then both of them thought of gestures they would do, but suddenly Tea just began saying words which cause the unexpected pharaoh to look at his friend.
"Oh Atem! Don't do this, I beg of you, I'm already tired. Please stop yourself…" Tea shouted in a tone in which Atem found funny. The young girl then stared at Atem with an expression saying "It's your turn now", and panic flared in Atem.
He then thought of words and after 15 seconds, shouted in a seductive tone, "Tea! Don't be shy, I know you want this. Don't hold back what you feel inside, let me kiss you and bring you to paradise." Upon hearing that, Tea just stared at Atem with surprise and amusement. Atem that stared at Tea, felt his face redden in embarrassment after hearing the words he just said.
"Atem, don't do this…don't! Ahh!" Tea shouted with a smile and Atem hearing those words thought that he was convinced that they were really doing it, but then shook his head. The young pharaoh kneeled in the bed then pounded his palms softly at the wall, Tea watched it then began jumping on the bed after Atem stops pounding and it added to the excitement they were doing now. "Oh Atem!" Tea shouted again with a grin, "Oh Tea! Ahh!" Atem shouted as well.
Of course the two did this for fun and nothing more, but outside their room, the servants with Shimon who were actually listening to the conversation of the couple a minute ago were smiling with joy as they thought what the pharaoh and Tea were doing right now. They didn't think that the two were just acting the things they were hearing, for they hear banging of wall followed by cracking and banging of the bed. Shimon grinned happily while saying, "That's it! our pharaoh, show your wife who's the boss. Hehehe." After that a cough was heard but Shimon didn't mind it at first instead, he continued listening to the screams of the pharaoh and his wife. While the servants who also took part in listening and enjoying the screams turn back to see who cough and looked in horror as they found the red faced Isis staring at them sharply with killer eyes and ready to punish them any second she felt so. The servants then all pointed their fingers to Shimon and walked slowly away from Lady Isis as the millennium necklace owner moves towards the grinning Shimon who still continued eavesdropping without knowing the presence of Isis. After a second, a painful pinch in the ear was received by Shimon as Isis dragged him away from the pharaoh's room.
"Let's give the couple their privacy, shall we? You have work to do!" Isis muttered angrily.
Back to Atem and Tea, the two, still continued what they were doing but Atem suddenly stopped which cause Tea to stop as well and ask him why he stopped. The pharaoh smiled as he faced Tea, "It seems they were now gone."
The young girl grinned and sat back, "Thank goodness, I thought this would take longer. I really felt tired acting as if we're doing it."
Atem chuckled, "I guess so, but I admit it was fun."
"Yeah…" Tea agreed. "So shall we sleep now?" she added as she looked at Atem as well.
"Hmmm…not quite," was the reply of the pharaoh. "Let's make a deal first," he added noticing the confuse look of his wife.
"What deal should we make Atem? We already have one," Tea replied.
"This one is different…just follow what I'll say, alright" Atem said and Tea nodded.
With that, Atem whispered words which are hard to understand since its Egyptian, after Atem stopped saying, a blue circle appeared under them and surrounding in it were Egyptian letters. "Alright Tea remember the words I'm gonna say next because it is really important, of course this deal is optional whether you want it or not. Remember that if you agree to this, there is no backing up," Atem explained and Tea nodded. "What is it then?" the pharaoh asked and Tea looked at him seriously.
"I agree to this deal."
Atem smiled, "well then, listen. First I'm gonna kiss you, then after that we have to say this words on our mind…the words are 'Even a million kiss, we'll just be friends forever and we promise to not fall in love with each other' After that it will be sealed as the deal." Tea nodded.
The deal then began, the two slowly move closer to each other and Tea closed her eyes when they are only an inch apart, Atem without hesitation kissed Tea and in doing so closed his eyes as well and began saying the words in his mind. Tea did the same and after that, the blue circle glowed and vanished afterwards. Atem decided to pull away but was stopped by Tea's hands as she holds him firmly in both arms and deepened the kiss. Atem's eyes widened for a moment but then closed as he felt Tea softened her kiss, after a minute both of them pulled away. Atem slid back under the blanket while Tea faced towards the sky, both acted like nothing happened except of course both were blushing.
Finally Tea spoke in a soft tone and Atem listened, "can I go outside the palace tonight? I need to find something."
The pharaoh looked at Tea confused and Tea let her gaze fell to Atem as well. "Of course you can…but may I know why?" Atem asked with a feeling of awkwardness between them.
Tea smiled, "a friend of mine is dying, and I need to get the cure for her since I promised her that."
"I see, I will go with you," Atem replied and as Tea was about to Argue he added, "You're my wife as well as my friend, I need to secure that you'll gonna be alright. It is after all my responsibility as a pharaoh and as your friend." Tea smiled and he smiled back, the feeling of awkwardness slowly going away.
"Alright then, let us change our clothes first and go," Tea suggested.
After a few minutes, the two decided to use their wedding outfit. Atem locked their door and walked towards the balcony, he then noticed that Tea was scattering the bracelets and accessories they used in the wedding as well as putting one of Atem's clothes on the floor with one of hers as well separately. "What are you doing?" Atem asked with a raised brow.
Tea smiled and replied, "Making an excuse so that they wouldn't suspect we left." Atem chuckled, Tea does know a lot when it comes to excusing as well as making persons smile.
"Really? Why not put a note saying, 'we'll be back soon' ?"
Tea giggled, "Alright then, but just to be sure. So that they may really think we did it, and decided to get-away to have some more private time."
Atem nodded, "I understand, I'm sure they wouldn't suspect a thing,I'm really glad I picked you as my wife," Atem said giving Tea a smile.
"Stop that! Or I'll get fluttered, but thanks," Tea replied then continued what she was doing a while ago and wrote a note. She then left it in the bed and put a bracelet above to hold it.
The two then take a last glance at their room then jumped out the balcony silently. Atem got his horse and the two rode it as they escape the palace without being caught. As soon as they got a bit further from Atem's palace, Tea looked at the starry sky. "Don't worry Princess Anzu, we will get the cure and save you," Tea whispered as she hugged firmly at Atem's stomach. And so, the two rode off into the desert under a silent night.
