We Can Be
I need to be with him...
Yuugi had fallen into a restless sleep. He shifted around, wrinkling his sheets, an agitated expression on his face. He had not had a single dream since the separation from Atemu—though the separation in itself had all seemed like a vast, unending dream. How could he have ever lost his spirit? He couldn't fathom it. And even though he tried to ignore it he could never deny how he truly felt. Once Atemu departed Yuugi felt like a magnificent part of him had been stolen away; he was a hollow shell of a human being. It seemed almost too hopeless and he feared that as time slipped by he would grow further away from him, seeing him only in apparitions that were detained to his broken mind.
He had missed it. Of course he had missed it. All the years of the Pharaoh simply overtaking him while he remained completely unaware. Each duel segregating his soul from his body and becoming the strong man he was always determined to be. The Pharaoh had brought him to a level that he never even realized existed.
Atemu always appeared whenever darkness approached his heart. When he slept, Yuugi had visions of the powerful Atemu's face with those subtle delicate features that him feel weak. He would whisper words directly into his ear and bring him near his climax. His warm eyes would search him, violet orbs darting back and forth, pondering why he would cry.
"I give you everything you could want. I give you kisses and comfort and warmth."
"I need it to be something more." Yuugi would respond.
"Beautiful boy, we can mere host and spirit."
Wincing, he would say, "I can't only be that."
"Why not?" Atemu would question, augmenting his usual furrowed brows; "we have a connection far greater than any ordinary couple, isn't that enough?"
"No. I need to feel your skin and breathe you in as if you're real."
"I cannot be real. But I can give you everything you want."
"You lie, Atemu! You say you give me everything, but you lie!"
And as Atemu smiled he would try with all his strength to reach for him, but would be suddenly awoken by a shock, frightening every nerve in his body.
Could everything just be a dream?
