Author's Note: Ah, chapter three; this is where things start to get interesting. I'm saying this now, because I don't want to get people's hopes up, but I'm not doing any Yaoi/Lemon in this story. (On another note, how did people end up calling it Lemon anyway? We're labeling gay scenes after fruits?! Sure, I get the connection, but still, it seems a bit tacky, don't you think?) ...And I don't own Yugioh.

Chapter three:

Of morals and true love

Yami sighed in relief as his body hit the sheets.

"Thank Ra he's finally gone. Now I can get some sleep."

The spirit smiled weakly as he reached out and stroked the heart shaped fame on the nearby desk. "Goodnight, my little angel. I'll tell you everything, someday, but not now."

(Cue the passing of time)

Yami chuckled as he eyed his twin from across the bed.

"I have been awful lonely, you know." he whispered, voice dripping like melted chocolate.

It was only a dream, but still, it was a good dream; the only one Yami ever had, not that he was complaining. After all, all sexual urges have to be fulfilled in someway. This was just one of them.

The spirit tilted his head to the side, as if beckoning his lover to come closer.

Now, this Yugi was an older Yugi, but you could still see hints of innocence in his eyes, along with a coy smirk.

Yami wouldn't have it any other way.

"After only one night apart?" asked Yugi, frowning slightly as he approached the other. "You missed me that much?"

"And why not? I have my needs too, you know."

"Indeed. You really should tell him."

Yami sighed as he felt a hand touch his bare shoulders.

"You heard us, didn't you?"

"Felt, actually. I may only be in your dreams, but I still have a fairly good idea of what's going on."

"Oh."

"Virgin." taunted Yugi, causing Yami to flinch.

"That hurt." muttered the spirit, rubbing his arms gingerly. "Besides, its not my fault none of the harem girls were interested in me. Most of them were too clingy anyway."

Yami sighed, shaking his head in disgust. "How is one supposed to make love when your partner refuses to let go of your arms? On another note..."

The spirit paused, a confused expression clear on his face. "If you do it with another man, does that mean you're not a virgin anymore? Using the word in its traditional sense..."

"Yami, did anyone ever tell you you think too much?"

"No, but I..."

The spirit let out a startled gasp as he felt soft lips touching his own.

"Happy?" asked Yugi with a laugh as he watched his stunned twin.

"By the gods of Egypt, Yugi, don't surprise me like that!"

"Why? I thought you liked surprises?"

"Yes, but only when I know they're coming."

"Fine. Have it your way then."

Yami couldn't help but purr as his twin's hands slowly descended from the spirit's arms.

"You're so easy to please." muttered Yugi, lavender eyes dancing with amusement as his hands continued to caress the spirit's chest.

"Only because its you. Well, kind of." replied Yami, his legs twitching every few seconds. "To be honest, I'm actually surprised at how accurate you are when compared to the original."

"I'm not; I was created by your own thoughts after all."

"Point."

Yami's eyes grew wide as they followed Yugi's hands down his silk pants.

"I can't do this." he said, pulling away from his twin's reach. "Not tonight."

"I understand. Shall I come back tomorrow?"

"Don't you always?"

"Only because I know you'll do something foolish if I don't."

Yugi gestured to the spot below his twin's abdomen. "Picking up on the mortal's nasty habits; I'm surprised you haven't chafed yet."

"Please, just go."

"As you wish." replied Yugi, his form soon fading away. "Sleep well."

"I'll try." muttered Yami, turning over onto his side to grab his silk shirt.

"Why?" whispered the spirit to his room as soon as he was dressed. "Why am I so afraid?"

"Why?" replied a voice in his mind. "Because you're afraid Yugi will hate you. Bound to a spirit that has feelings for him; ones he can't return."

Yami didn't push the thought away; it was right after all.

The spirit looked up as the sound of sniveling reached his ears.

"And now he's crying over me too. Damn it, Yami! You are such an idiot."

Guilt heavy in his heart, Yami forced himself away from his dream and was about to get up and go check on his aibou when he realized, someone else had beaten him to it.

"Hush, little one. Don't cry." whispered a female voice.

"But, mom. I'm worried about him. I think Yami may be getting sick or something, cause he's been acting really weird."

"Yami? You mean the spirit living inside your puzzle?"

"Yeah, that's him. He usually talks to me at night, after I finish my homework of course."

Yami heard a feminine chuckle.

"Your grandfather did mention you complaining about that once. Yami probably only does it because he cares about you. Don't forget, you were the one that rescued him."

"I know. That's why it doesn't make any sense."

"We'll talk about it in the morning. Right now you need to get some sleep. Tomorrow is Valentine's day and I'm sure you don't want to miss out on all your gifts."

"If I even get any. Mom, in case you haven't noticed, no one at school really likes me like that. Jounouchi and Honda usually end up buying me something as a joke."

"You never know; this year might be different."

Yami blinked as he lay back down, mind deep in thought.

"Valentine's day?" he mused, hand tapping his bed absentmindedly. "Wasn't that the holiday where all the greeting card companies get filthy rich? Or was that Christmas?"

Shaking his head in confusion, the spirit curled up against his pillow, too tired to deal with such an annoying question.

Yami's eyes soon closed, his breathing becoming slower and deeper as sleep once again took him in its arms.

I'll let you in on a little secret; this was supposed to be written and uploaded around Valentine's day...or March 15, but I'm not telling you why, unless you already know. (frowns) You still have to act surprised though, if you do. Anyway, I want to thank all the people who have been reading my story, even those who haven't been reviewing. (sniff) You like me! You really like me! (hands out cookies and muffins. Chocolate ones of course) Yeah, this has totally made my day. Thank you! All of you!

Now, I'm wanting to get at least 15 reviews before uploading any more chapters, or at the very least, 10. Reviews are a real motivation for me to write more and they provide nice feedback too. I'm just asking for a simple sentence telling me what you thought, liked, or didn't like. (shrugs shoulders) Its not rocket science.
