Having to contain his family secret as well, he becomes stressed. One day, he runs into a young sophomore, who has some secrets of his own that intertwine with Yugi's. And soon, secrets will be reveled and some for the better good and pure happiness and others drawing the darkness closer and closer.
Chapter 23- Reunion
For a week, it seemed almost to good to be true. That, his phone and Atemu's voice was right in his back pocket. Of course, Yugi always had to leave his phone in his room when practicing or doing training. The first time the young mage took the device out to Aokii, the man freaked and ordered for that 'thing' to never be shown to him again when they were practicing.
Then Yugi once got a call during a private lesson with a very highly regarded violinist. The woman, being as nice as she was, waved it off and told the boy to answer it. Yugi in turn said he had voice mail and all was fine, well would have been fine if Sugoroku hadn't been there at that time. He scolded Yugi for at least an hour after that, leavening the boy to growl and stomp off to his room. Then use his cell phone to call Atemu and vent.
He was still very amazed how Atemu could sit through all of Yugi's rants. Yugi even asked him how he could stand it, and the other of course said, "More I talk to you, less work I have to do!" Then, Yugi asked him to be serious.
"Because I like to hear your voice," is the true answer Atemu gave. The mage laughed at that, and said that if Atemu ever needed to vent a bit, he as all ears.
After that week of fun and joy, Yugi's departure back to California had finally come. On the outside, he pretended to act sad at leavening his family, but inwardly he was exhilarated. The feeling of seeing Atemu not through an electronic device had driven Yugi to even getting less sleep from the excitement.
Of course, during the sequence of the summer, Yugi had missed his little lover a bit more than emotionally. Now, he was actually regretting not taking up on the offer of sleeping with his other before he left. Some nights, the mage could feel himself craving to be touched in that sensual and intimate way. Other times, he just missed the physical body that would have been next to him, one he could curl into and feel safe. But when these innocent thoughts left, however, a hormone crazed man, (yearning to be with the one he wants to join with most), came forth.
Even wet dreams plagued him a couple times, leavening Yugi waking up in the middle of the night, and learning he had to secretly clean a nice little mess. It was natural for men to have his reaction, but to voice it to other was a tad bit embarrassing (at least on Yugi's part). So, he kept most of this quiet, but was looking forward to seeing Atemu again, and even maybe asking a few more 'personal' questions to his lover as well.
Many, in Yugi's mind, involving a bed at least.
The young adult shook his head, ridding his mind
of these thoughts.
'whoooo, don't want to be thinking those
thoughts and get something on a plane!' he muttered into his mind,
burring his face into his hands.
"Yugi, you have got to control those ideas…" he muttered to himself.
"What ideas?" Aokii asked as he just walked into the room.
Yugi jolted up, and immediately stood. "I-ideas of-of ridding a plane!" he gasped out in almost a shriek, his voice cracking on the word 'idea'. "N-nothing you need to know, boring, boring ideas…" he trailed off, a blush slowly forming on his face.
'Greeeeeat, now he thinks I've been looking at porn or something…..' the young mage muttered, a small bead of sweat forming over his face.
Aokii raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Ok…well," he began to turn. "We're leavening soon, grab your stuff and bring it down stairs," his back was now facing Yugi and he walked out of the room. Yugi blinked for a second before it finally registered.
'SOON I'LL SEE ATEMU AGAIN!'
Not more than an hour later, Yugi, Serena and Aokii were standing in the car drop of area of LaGuardia National Airport. Sugoroku had driven them to the airport since Serena or Aokii didn't want to pay to keep a car in one of the garages for a week.
Yugi had placed the last of his luggage on the cement and stood up straight to smile to his grandfather. Walking up to the elder one, he gave him a hug.
"Bye bye grandpa, I'll be seeing you at Christmas!" he bellowed. Sugoroku smiled and hugged him back.
"Not coming back to Thanksgiving?" he asked, an amused smile on his face. Yugi drew back to his full height and gave a sincere smile.
"Sorry grandpa, not this year. I'm thinking of saving up my money a bit more," he explained. The other nodded.
"Ok then Yugi," he gave the boy another hug, "We'll miss you."
The elder one turned to Aokii. "When do you think you're going to be coming back?" he asked. Aokii shrugged.
"I think in about two weeks…maybe less, it all depends on how long it takes me to teach Yugi," he glanced down at his student. "And now long it takes him to learn it." The younger one let out a hesitant smile. Sugoroku nodded and gave his old friend a friendly hug. He then gave Serena one as well.
"Have a fun time Serena," he said. The woman smiled.
"Bye grandpa, see you soon," she said back. Letting go of her grandfather, she turned and began gathering her and everyone else's things. Yugi said his last goodbyes and everyone walked into the airport, leavening his grandfather to drive away.
It took about a half hour for all three of them to check in their luggage and then wander over to sit and wait for a while till the plane got into the terminal. Serena was reading a magazine she brought, Aokii was flipping through the human newspaper, making disgusted faces at each page. Yugi was currently checking through his messages on his cell phone, planning on calling Atemu and telling him they were at the airport.
They were riding American Airlines to O'Hare, then taking a transfer to go all the way to Los Angelus. Yugi lowered his phone to glance up at his cousin and teacher hesitantly.
"Hey Serena, Sensei," the two looked up. "Where are we going to go, like stay, while we're there?" he asked them. "Because, my dorms don't open for another couple weeks or so…" he trailed off.
Aokii smiled. "Most likely a hotel or something…why?"
Yugi gave a small smile. "Well, my friend volunteered his apartment for us to stay, so we don't' have to pay for a hotel room. As long, as that's ok with you and all," he explained. Aokii blinked and then smiled.
"Really? How kind of him. Well, it would make it a lot easier…why don't you tell him thank you," he said. Yugi nodded.
"Yes then?" he asked, an eager look on his face. The other nodded.
"Hai, it's fine," he answered, reverting to his native tongue for a second. Yugi smiled, his grin almost reaching his ears.
"Thanks Sensei!" he bellowed, the flipped open his phone again to dial Atemu's number. Standing, he sauntered his way over to a quiet corner where it would be easier to hear though his phone. Holding it up to his ear, he heard the tone beeping as busy. Yugi blinked, bringing his phone back to his face.
'Huh…busy…try again I suppose,' he muttered in thought. Waiting about a minute, he dialed again to hear it ringing this time. The mage let out a breath, and the smiled when the sound of someone picking it up came.
"MoshiMoshi Yugi-chan…" came the tired voice of Atemu.
The smile on Yugi face vanished instantly. "Hey...what's wrong?" he added as an after thought. There was a sigh and is sounded as if Atemu was rubbing his face with his hands.
"Nothing…to serious…ah, um, what is it? Something wrong?" his voice took on the usual coolness again. Yugi allowed some fear to escape his heart, as Atemu seemed to lighten up.
"Oh, yeah, remember what you mentioned the other day, about my teacher, Serena and me hanging at your place for a week or so? Well, my sensei said it was a good idea so…yeah!" Yugi said happily. Atemu chuckled lightly, his good mood returning.
"That's wonderful Yugi. Oi, do you want me to pick you guys up to? Mind as well, since I have a car…" he trailed off slightly. Yugi nodded enthusiastically.
"Yeah, can you? Hey," he snickered. "If you do, I'll give you a present…deal?"
There was a pause, and Yugi knew this little agreement would get his lover's old cheerful (and perverted) self again.
"A present eh…" came the sly voice from the other end of the receiver. "I think I'll take it! Deal Aibou! But, my present better involve you in it…" he was edging on to something, and Yugi knew it. The mage laughed.
"Don't worry, I keep my promises! Well, I should get going; might be boarding soon…" he glanced up at the clock. "Also, I'll call you again in like two hours because were taking a transfer flight from O'Hare to Los Angelus. I tell you my departing and boarding times k?" he told the other.
Atemu made an 'Hmm'ing like sound. "yeah…I see. What are you flying by?" he asked.
"American. Oh, why don't I give you my flight number…" he fished his ticket out of his pocket. "Umm…it's flight 6872, and looks like I'm in gate 105 here…dunno about the O'Hare flight. Annnnyway," he glanced down at his watch. "The time for it to leave is exactly 5:45 and it's 5:26 right now…yeah I should get ready," the mage chuckled lightly.
"Yeah…you checked in and all, right?" Atemu asked his lover. Yugi nodded in response.
"Yeah, yeah, hour ago. Well, I should be off Atemu! But…um first" he gently touched his necklace that was still hidden under his shirt. "Um…Atemu…I have a small question before I go…"
"Shoot hikari," came the dragons answer.
Yugi breathed in, and then out, asking the question that has been plaguing his mind for a couple days now. "You…you still have the bracelet I gave you, don't you?" he asked.
There was a pause.
Yugi felt his heart stop as Atemu took his time to answer, and when he did there was a pained tone to it. "Hikari….why….why all gods above would you ask that question? I gave you a promise Yugi, that I would never take it off…" there was a long, weighty pause. "Don't you trust me?" that last part was chocked out of Atemu's throat.
"Of course Atemu! No, It's just…I dunno, It's just…." He finally sighed. "I just. I mean, it's like, you could go out with anyone this summer…you were free to do what you wanted and I…and times…though It's just…." He finally sighed. "I…I mean, it's like, you could go out with anyone this summer…you were free to do what you wanted and I…and times…thought that…" Yugi opened and closed his mouth, trying to find the words he wanted to say, considering he had repeated himself twice already.
"Thought that maybe you took…it off…god, I'm sorry Atemu, it was just my mind….playing games on me…" he trailed off, slowly fearing the reaction Atemu would have to him now that he said it all.
He heard Atemu take in a deep breath, and the breath it out just as heavily. "Yugi…my aibou, I am sorry you had to feel that pain…" there was a subtle pause. "Yugi, you must believe I would never, never do that to you! I will NEVER take this bracelet off; I made a promise my hiakri and I-will-not-break-it. No matter what doubts you may have…" there was a small laugh. "I will always love you and only you…hikari," the love that was infused with that one word of 'light' made Yugi burry his face in his hands, his fingers drying his soon to fall tears.
"I-I'm sorry Atemu, I'm sorry I doubted you I just…needed to hear you say it, I don't know why…I just,"
"Shush…it's all fine," Atemu cooed in a soft tone. Yugi nodded slowly to himself and they were left in a small, peaceful silence.
"…Dear god, I can't wait to hold you again…" the dragon admitted. "I feel so useless on the phone…hearing your pain, but I can't even touch you," his voice was pain, and there was also a sense of desire.
Yugi nodded. "I…I know…I feel it too." He glanced down at his watch. "Atemu, I really have to go…sorry"-
"No, don't be sorry Yugi," Atemu whispered. "The sooner you leave…the sooner I can see you again, my koibito," he murmured tenderly. Yugi smiled and nodded.
"Yeah…hey Mr. Japanese dictionary, what does 'Koibito' mean?" he asked. Atemu chuckled.
"Ha-ha, ah, aibou, it means 'Love'," he said affectionately. Yugi giggled lightly.
"Aha, I see! Well, bye bye my koibito!" he bellowed.
"Ah Aibou! Ja, boku no koibito!" Yugi smiled, and then closed his phone. Wandering back over to his teacher and cousin, he saw them standing.
"Hey there Yugi," Aokii waved. "Took you awhile to make one simple phone call!" he patted the others shoulders in a playful manner.
"Sensei…" Yugi whined. "Stop, please! Anyway, time to go?" he asked. Serena nodded, handing Yugi his violin. The teen took it happily, and then grabbed his backpack as well.
"So," he started. "Let us go then!" he yelled.
The three of the boarded the plane slowly and took their seats. Aokii was sitting across the aisle on the other side of the plane while Yugi and Serena sat on the other side. Yugi got a window (by forcing Serena to sit in the aisle seat). The seats were arranged in a decent manner, one pair on each side of the plane and three in the middle seats. Serena was going to get them middle seats so they could all sit together, but Yugi begged for a window seat, and since there was one open that was where they were sitting.
There were no real things to do on the plane, except read or if you were in first class, you could use your laptop, since you would have enough room there. Yugi and his family…were not in first class, even though Serena got these tickets cheaper from the company she worked for, she didn't feel like going that class because she had already ridden it enough in the past year for business. Also, they could only get one ticket for first class, so she stayed in second to stay with Yugi and Aokii. The three of them had been sitting on the plane for a while now, waiting for it to take off. Yugi was absently fingering his necklace under his shirt, starting out the window in thought. Aokii glanced over and saw his action.
"Hey Yugi," the man looked up. "What's wrong, you seem nervous?" he asked. Yugi gave his sensei a sincere smile and shook his head.
"No, I'm fine sensei. It's nothing," he told the other. The elder mage eyed his student warily, and then turned around to go back to reading his magazine. Yugi sighed, glancing out the window as they finally stared to move.
'Not to long now,' Yugi thought. 'Not to long now…'
/Couple hours later\
Yugi stared up at the giant TV screen, anger and a pissed off expression written all over his face. Serena was standing next to him, a hesitant smile on her lips.
"Well," she started. "I guess…we won't be there for a bit longer then…" Serena glanced down at an angry expression.
"I-hate-planes!" Yugi bellowed, emphasizing each word. Stomping his foot, he growled in annoyance. "Why did our plane have to break down!" he wined, slumping down the wall, to curl on the floor in annoyance.
'WhywhywhywhyWHY!' he groaned in his thoughts. 'I hate thiiiiis, we're delayed for like…two hours!'
Serena glanced down at her cousin and smiled. "Aww, Yugi don't get too down. Just call and tell him….we'll be a little late," she told the other. Yugi fell back and let out a deep sigh.
"Serena, we leave here at like 10 at night and it takes another three hours to get there…it's going to be around midnight or so, I don't want to make him wait around that long…" the young mage burring his face into his hands. Serena sighed.
"Well, I'll let you decide while I go and find Aokii to tell him the news," she told the other, while walking the other way toward the refreshment area where Aokii went to grab something to eat.
Yugi sat on the ground, thinking. Finally he stood, and walked over to a seat to sit down. Flipping open his cell, he clicked number 2, the speed dial number Atemu was on. Holding the device up to his ear, he heard the ring tone. After another three, someone picked up.
"Oi there hikari! I've been waiting for you to call!" he bellowed happily. Yugi sighed and leaned back against the chair. "Yugi, what's wrong?" Atemu asked, hearing the furry and irritation in his lover's voice.
Yugi sighed. "Ateeemmmmmuu, my flights delayed for two hours!" he yelled. There was a pause and then a groan from the other end of the line.
"Really? Aww, aibou, I'm sorry," he cooed in a loving way. Yugi nodded, tears of frustration leaking out of his eyes.
"…This sucks," he managed to chock out. Atemu chuckled lightly at the others sad, yet annoyed and sarcastic tone.
"Ah, Yugi, it's alright. Don't worry about it, I'll still be at the airport right when you come in to L.A," he said to the other. Yugi blinked.
"But…Atemu, that's at, like midnight…" he trailed off.
"So?" the other said back. "It doesn't matter, I don't mind waiting…I'll bring a book!" he said cheerfully. Yugi wiped his face with his sleeve.
"But…but Atemu, I don't want you to go through all that trouble"- he was roughly cut off by the other.
"Yugi! It's-no-trouble! Ok, common, believe me, it's fiiiiine!" he told his lover, in a serious but joyful like way. Yugi gave a small nod.
"Yeah…but if you get tired at all Atemu, call my cell and leave a message ok? To say you're going home alright?" he instructed the other. Atemu laughed.
"Well, then don't expect me to call," he joked. "Yugi, I'll be fine. Now, I must be going…I took this call during my work shift," there was a hesitant chuckle.
Yugi blinked. "Ah, what? Atemu, oh god I'm sorry for calling you!" he bellowed. Atemu laughed more and waved it off.
"Oh it's no big deal Yugi, ok? It's fine. Now, when are you coming in?" he asked.
"Oh, well, the flight departs at….well there's a two hour delay, and that could shorten…it's gone down to one hour and 45 min already in like two minutes. So, I think we leave at about 10:30. Get into L.A. at maybe 1:30 or so my time, so take off two hours and that's 11:30…so you'll still be there late," his voice dropped slightly.
"Aibou, IT-IS-FINE! Alright?" Yugi didn't answer right away. "Alright?" Atemu bellowed out, smiling.
Yugi laughed. "Alright, alright. Ok, I'll stop. Well, you should get back to work," Atemu gave an 'hn' in answer.
"Yes…I should be…" he chuckled. "See you soon hikari, I HOPE!" he yelled, laughing loudly afterwards. Yugi couldn't help but let a snicker pass his lips.
"Bye to you too Atemu!" he said back in a joyful manner. Hanging up the phone, he stood and stretched. Wandering over to where Serena and Aokii were sitting, he plopped down next to his teacher.
"I called my friend, and told him my flights delayed and," Yugi raised his hands to head level. "He said it was fine, and he would sill be there to pick us up and allow us to stay at his home," he announced to everyone. Aokii nodded.
"That's very kind of him to do," he stated.
"Yeah," the teen said. "It is…I said he didn't need to but, Atemu can be quite the persistent one…" he trailed off, and laughed lightly. The other chuckled as well.
"Yes, so…we don't leave for quite awhile, what do you want to do now?" he asked, as the mage began to stand up and stretch. Yugi shrugged.
"Mind as well get something to eat I suppose…any preferences Serena? Sensei?" he glanced between the two.
Serena smiled. "That sounds like a plan, anyway, I'm starved!"
/Hours later\
The cabin was all quiet, most of the residents sleeping. Many, however, we're being abruptly awoken by the flight attendants voice.
"Attention all passengers, the plane will be landing in Los Angelus International Airport shortly. Please fasten your seatbelts when the light goes on and raise you seats in their upright position for landing. Have a nice day and thank you for ridding American Airlines this evening."
Slowly, violet eyes cracked open, to reveal the many lights being turned on near him. Sitting up, he stretched and then yawned.
"Damn…" he muttered, rubbing his back. "I'm going to have a bad knot there by tomorrow…" he glanced up at Serena, who was now putting her stuff away.
"Were landing in about fifteen minutes, get your stuff together," she told the sleepy one. Yugi blinked once, his mind taking it's lovely time to register what his cousin said.
Finally, eyes flung open wide. "We're almost there?" he bellowed out enthusiastically. Serena nodded, a smile on her face.
"Yup. Now," she pushed the teens bag toward his feet. "Clean up unless you want to leave all this on the plane," she said. Yugi did just that. Gathering all his books, iPod, and other trinkets he brought on the plane to keep him occupied, he then dumped them all into his backpack and began zipping it up. Reaching to his side, he pulled the lever that allowed the back of his seat to spring up to the upright position. Glancing over to his left, he saw Aokii was still sound asleep.
Poking his cousin in the upper arm, he pointed over to his teacher. "Serena, why don't you get him up," he said. The woman nodded, and gave the elder a playful punch in the shoulder. The other jumped and whipped his face over to glare at Serena.
"Serena, what was that all about?" he asked loudly. Serena pointed to the seatbelt sign that had just turned on and then indicated her hand to her bag.
"Flight's going to be landing in about 15 minutes, get your ass ready!" she yelled playfully. Aokii rolled his eyes and began gathering his stuff as well. Yugi reached to his sides, and pulled on the belt, fitting the one side into the buckle. Tightening it, he reached down to place his bag right next to his legs so it didn't roll or move around that much in the turbulence of landing. Glancing over at his teacher, he smirked to see that the flight attendant was telling him to put his seat belt on, since the elder was being too stubborn to stop what he was doing to do it.
Finally, the plane began to descend and the whole body of the aircraft began shaking. Yugi lay back, and glanced out his window to see the lights of the city right below them. Smiling, he began to look for things or places he knew.
'It's so beautiful…' he thought. Leaning out more, he could see the runway in sight, the blue and green lights flashing in an inviting way. Inclining back, Yugi made sure that he was secure in his seat as the plane began rocking back and forth more violently then before. Soon, rubber hit cement and the whole body of the aircraft shook. Serena let out an annoyed sigh.
"I hate this part of the"- she was cut off as the plane bounced off the runway again. "Flight…" she finished, an annoyed frown cast over her face. Yugi couldn't help but laugh lightly.
Slowly, ever so slowly, the plane began to reduce speed as it neared the terminal. Little cars that carry luggage were driving out from the safety of the building to the plane that was about to dock. The small, moveable hallway that juts out to the plane was slowly moving to hook onto the side where the door was.
Finally, the plane stopped and the seat belt sign switched off. Not even a second later, Yugi was up in his seat, pushing Serena to get out. The woman gave a yell of annoyance and went even slower in getting her stuff, pissing the love-needy man off to no end.
"Serena, you are so mean," Aokii commented, already in the aisle. Yugi growled and shot a sarcastic yet irritated glare up at his cousin.
He muttered a single sentence, "Serena…may the gods have mercy on your soul…"
-Another place, same time-
Inside the terminal building, there were people bustling about. Many on business trips, others traveling for the holidays. Nonetheless, there were still quite a lot of late night flights coming in. There were not, however, enough people here so that a said dragon couldn't get two seats to himself to sleep on. Atemu, at the moment, was sprawled over the two seats, his head resting on his arms and legs daggling slightly off the side. His eyelids twitched ever so slightly, in a way of knowing this man was only in a deep slumber and not lifeless. He moved his head ever so slightly, so that his bracelet was not digging into a cheek, preventing the soon to be mark later.
Behind his chairs, there was a hallway leading to the gates, the area of which passengers could not enter. Out here was the place anyone could go, so the dragon had plunked himself down here to rest and wait very impatiently for the arrival of his light.
Before this said man took a nap, he was thinking over on how he would greet his mage. To run up and immediately have a little 'make out' session was defiantly Atemu's cup of tea. Oh, most defiantly. Alas, the young ones teacher was going to be there, and that meant that if Atemu made any indication of being Yugi's lover, they were screwed. Yugi said that his sensei, Aokii Teakishi, was very close to Sugoroku Motou, and that meant that they most likely had the same look out on many things. It worried Atemu slightly on the teacher's comings, but soon blew it from his mind. What happened happened, and in the end everything should turn out all right.
A few people began walking out of the secured hallway, and soon more and more people filed out. Alas, Atemu was fast asleep, and did not even notice when Yugi, Serena and Aokii walked down the declining carpet and onto tiled flooring. Violet eyes glanced around, eagerly searching for his lover. No crimson eyes, or flaming scarlet-black with the blond highlights hair met his gaze.
Yugi's eyes saddened, and he began walking forward, past the rows of seats and his slumbering dragon lover. Serena followed, only to stop as she glanced over to her right to see the familiar spikes.
"Hey Yugi, I think your friend fell asleep!" she yelled out humorously. Yugi whipped his head back quickly to spot his lover, sleeping soundly on the chair.
The young mage grinned and approached the other caustically. Pausing for a second to examine the others face, he reached forward and began rubbing his index finger right under the ear and chin, the muscle called the Sterno Mastoid, and gently ran his finger from the edge of the mans chin to where his body met the cushion of the chair.
"He's really ticklish here," Yugi whispered to Serena, a grin plastered over his face.
Serena began to laugh lightly. "So what are you going to do?"
Yugi smirked. "Maybe tickle him to death," he stated quietly. Turning his head back toward the sleeping one, he began to tickle that spot lightly. Atemu's shoulders shook and rose up to try and stop the others onslaught. Yugi just grinned and began lightly brushing his fingers over Atemu's chin.
A muffled sound, mixed between a wine of irritation at being awoken and a small giggle from the tickling rose from Atemu's throat. Raising his right arm, Atemu swung out at Yugi, thinking the boy's finger was a fly or bug or the sorts.
Yugi jumped back just in time to not be hit by the arm, but returned to his spot to tickle the other to the world of the living again. Atemu moaned in annoyance, and rolled over to get away from the prying hands. Though, he just happened to role the wrong way.
Tumbling off the seats, the dragon let out a yelp as he fell to the floor. Face now plastered against tiles, he groaned in slight pain.
Yugi couldn't help but laugh. He laughed so hard, he was almost in tears by the time Atemu registered that someone was next to him and looked up.
Rubbing the back of his head in pain, he blinked as he caught site of an almost not-breathing Yugi. The mage's once pale cheeks were red in amusement, and tears from pure innocent humor were sliding down his face. The teen could just not stop laughing! Atemu blinked and sat up on his butt to smirk as well.
"Well thanks for the wake up call Yugi, was wonderful…" he muttered, punching the other lightly in the shoulder. Yugi calmed slightly, but his tears had not stopped.
"Ah-ha…I couldn't resist," he chuckled, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. Atemu rolled his eyes, but mentally he was trying to send Yugi all the joy and love he could.
--You know, I do so dearly wish to just jump-you-right-now-- he muttered, empathizing each of the last words. Yugi chuckled.
-And I would love it if you would, but control yourself Atemu, be patient and we'll both get what we want- he mentally winked at the other. -And for letting us stay at your apartment and driving us, remind me some other time that- his smirked turned more sensual and his voice darkened to a murmur -I owe you a gift…-
Atemu couldn't help but smirk mentally and physically. --I'll hold you to that promise--
"Well, why don't we get off the floor now!" he picked himself up and reached forward to help his 'friend' to his feet. Yugi gladly took the hand and stood. Once the two were standing, Atemu embraced Yugi in a friendly hug.
"It's good to see you again Yugi," he greeted, drawing back to rub his knuckles into the young ones hair. The mage glared up at Atemu.
"Thaaaanks, it's good to see you too," he pushed the hand away, giving the other a sarcastic frown. Atemu laughed lightly, and turned to greet the rest of the party. Serena walked up and gave the man a friendly hug of greeting. Atemu's body, out of habit, stiffened for a second but soon relaxed and he hugged Serena back.
Aokii, however, noticed the stiffness in his student's friend's form. He didn't do the same thing with Yugi, so why did he freeze like that when the woman hugged him? It was a mystery to the elder mage, and he was going to figure out the answer. Soon, Atemu moved back from Serena and glanced over in Aokii's direction.
"Ah, are you Yugi's teacher?" he asked politely, holding out his hand. "I'm Atemu Akashi, nice to meet you." Aokii took the hand and shook it.
"Aokii Teakishi. Pleasure." The two dropped their hands, and Atemu turned to his collage friend.
"So Yugi," he pointed his thumb behind his head to the exit. "You want to go get your bags and things?" he asked. The mage nodded and began walking forward, his violin and backpack in hand. Serena and Aokii followed behind shortly.
--Your teacher has a nice aura to him…-- Atemu commented. --Quite different then your grandfather…but he is still very cautious-- Yugi nodded in agreement.
-He defiantly doesn't take chances. And yeah, he's defiantly more of someone I might call kind of a 'father figure'. Since, my parents died when I was quite young- Atemu's gaze fell to the floor.
--Oh…-- he muttered, not really feeling comfortable talking about the dead.
Yugi glanced up. -Don't' worry Atemu, I don't mind- he reassured the other. The dragon smiled, and glanced down at his hikari.
"So, where are all your bags as such? What baggage claim?" he asked, as they neared the lobby where the claims were winding around in the circles. Yugi glanced up at the TV screens.
"This one," he pointed to the American Airlines screen, and to the conveyor belt under it. Striding forward, Atemu came upon the area where the bags would soon wind around to be picked up. Yugi walked up next to him and stopped. "And…now we wait!" Atemu laughed lightly at that.
"You wait, I'll be right back," he pointed to where they exited. "I'll go get my car from the garage and everything and drive out to the front ok? It's a black Saturn if you don't remember," he poked the mage playfully in the shoulder. Yugi smiled.
"I remember," he said. Placing his violin and backpack on the ground, he turned to Serena and Aokii. "I have to go to the bathroom, watch my violin with you life!" he bellowed at the two. Serena chuckled.
"I'll sell it on eBay," she grinned, taunting her cousin.
Yugi glared at her, and then turned to Atemu. "I shall walk with you," he voiced, coming to be side by side with the other. Atemu smiled.
"Alright then," he said. Striding forward, the two began their walk. They walked for a while in silence, waiting to get out of earshot of the two other mages. Atemu blinked and gave a quick glace backwards, his face taking on an amused expression. "Going fine so far," he commented, giving the younger man a grin
Yugi nodded. "So far, as long as you," he gave the other a hard poke in the stomach. "Keep your hormones in check!" The dragon smirked.
"Well, we'll see what happens when we get to my house…" Yugi punched him in the arm. Holding his hands up in defense, Atemu yelled out in resentment, "Ok hikari, ok! I was kidding!"
The younger one stuck his nose in the air. "You better be," he muttered, glancing back now, he could see that Serena and his sensei were no longer in sight. Smiling, he stopped walking and pulled Atemu over to the wall were he knew the two mages couldn't see them. Once near the wall, he jumped into the others arms. Atemu, caught by surprise, almost fell over but soon caught himself. Wrapping his arms around Yugi's shoulders, he held his love close.
--I feel as if it's been a lifetime since I held you this close…-- he whispered, only to draw Yugi's head and body closer. The smaller on rose up on his tiptoes, and rested his head on Atemu's shoulder.
-I know…- he then chuckled. -I almost forgot you wore cologne…it's a nice smell…- the mage rubbed his face into the others brown, short sleeves jacket. The dragon chuckled.
"I've missed your smell too…" he said, smiling. Yugi drew back to gaze into those crimson eyes lovingly.
-I can see the line of the contact on your eyes…Mmm- his smile widened. -I like your eyes more without the contacts-
--Well you'll have to wait!-- Atemu retorted quickly, a smirk present over his face. Yugi blinked, and his smile turned devious. Leaning up, he quickly rose in for a heated kiss. Atemu immediately responded, winding one arm around Yugi's face to gently brush backs some of his bags from his cheeks. Small, pale arms clutched at toned shoulders blades, and brought the tan body ever closer. Tilting his face to the right slightly, Atemu opened and massaged his mouth around the others soon to be red lips. Both men's eyes were sealed shut in pleasure, and soon, air was to be given. Right before drawing away, Atemu gently ran his tongue over Yugi's lips and lapped up his essence greedily before drawing away and taking in a shuddering breath. Eyes still closed, the dragon leaned down and rested his head in Yugi's hair. Breathing in deeply through his nose, he breathed out contently.
He paused for a second, before speaking. --I have waited so long to kiss you like that again, my hikari, my aibou…-- Atemu whispered, love intertwined in every word. Yugi nodded, then suddenly gasped.
"I almost forgot to take it out!" he shouted, reaching under his shit. Atemu drew away, but did not take his arms away from being wrapped around the boy's body.
"What is it? Something wrong?" he asked. Yugi shook his head furiously.
"No, no, I just…" he drew out the gold chain and let the small dragon fall and bounce off of his chest. "I had to hide this, because of my grandfather. But, now, I can take him out again to show the world," he held the little dragon up to his face and gave the small figure a peck with his lips.
Atemu smirked, and then drew his right arm up and placed it in Yugi's line of vision. "And see, my hikari, your worrying was not needed," he eyed the bracelet that his light gave him those many months ago. "I have never taken it off, and it still rests happily on my arm and that is where it will be staying forever and ever…" he voice turned to a whispered and soon trailed off to nothingness. Yugi nodded.
"I'm sorry…" he started, fingering the necklace. "I didn't mean to ask that question in an offending way…" He was slowly cut off as Atemu gently placed a tan finger over Yugi's stuttering mouth.
"Yugi, you did nothing wrong…it was just a question, I will not get angry over a question…" he tilted his head to the side and smiled. "That would be silly, ne?"
Yugi nodded slowly. "Yeah…" he murmured. The dragon dipped his head, and gave Yugi a kiss on the cheek.
"Good…now then, I should be going, and I shall meet up with you again outside then right?" he said, drawing away and coming back to full height. "Also…didn't you have to go to the bathroom?"
There was a pause on Yugi's end, as he smirked evilly. "Nyyyyyo! You think!" he laughed. "That was just an excuse to follow you and get out of their sight!" Atemu chuckled.
"Ah, I should have known…" he ruffled his lights hair. "I'll see you in a couple minutes Yugi," he pinched his cheek and leaned forward. "Please don't keep me waiting long," the dragon winked and turned to walk away.
Of course, right after he turned, Yugi kicked him right in the bum. "Don't pinch my cheeks!" he bellowed, shaking his fists.
Atemu pause for a second, to rub his butt, but then turned and held up his index finger, a leer present over his lips. "Which ones?"
