Yugi had to complete his therapy at the hospital before he was allowed to come home. The day he came home, Atem was waiting for him anxiously. They had been separated for a week, which was far too long for either of them to handle. Joey and Seto had made plans for all of them that night. Yugi and Atem were getting dressed for the evening.

"It feels good to be in these clothes again." Atem smiled and looked in the mirror. "They always did suit you." Yugi smiled. Atem turned and looked at Yugi's smiling face, he couldn't help but smile himself. "Aibou…" Atem whispered, looking down at Yugi's arm. "Please stop beating yourself up." Yugi frowned. "It's hard not to." Atem sighed. "Light can't exist without darkness." Yugi said, taking Atem's hands in his. "I was suffering every day without you." Atem said, looking into Yugi's eyes. "I can finally touch you, feel your warmth…" Yugi smiled, looking down at his hands in Atem's. Atem let go of one of Yugi's hands and brought it to his face, Yugi looked up at him. "Being able to touch you has been a dream of mine for so long." Atem said, stroking Yugi's cheek with his thumb. "We better get going, Joey said he and Kaiba had a surprise for us." Yugi said. "I'm still nervous about this." Atem laughed. "Why?" Yugi asked. "I'm from a different time Yugi, I don't understand a lot from this time." Atem stated. "Don't worry, I'll be there with you." Yugi smiled.

They walked downstairs and outside was Joey peeking his head out from the limousine sunroof. "Hey guys!" Joey yelled. Yugi chuckled, definitely a Joey move. Yugi and Atem climbed in the back with everyone else. "So what are we doing exactly?" Yugi asked. "Whatever we want!" Joey yelled. "Not everything requires yelling, puppy." Kaiba said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "It's a package deal, get used to it." Joey exclaimed. "Who would have thought that those two would be a couple." Atem said. "I think weirder things have happened to us Atem." Yugi giggled. "Joey, I don't think you've stopped talking since we got in the limo." Tea stated. "I'm excited! We are celebrating tonight!" Joey yelled. "Can't you just shut up for five seconds?" Seto asked. "Make me!" Joey teased. Kaiba grabbed Joey by the collar of his shirt and pulled him down to kiss him. "Seems to be the only way I can keep your mouth shut." Seto said. "Then why don't you do it more?" Joey said in a teasing tone. "You're going to regret that." Seto said and kissed Joey again, this time not stopping. "I think I'm going to get sick." Tristan said. Yugi and Atem laughed at that. Tea looked at them, they looked at each other like they put the stars in the sky, she smiled.

Kaiba told the driver to take them to the beach, the sun was setting and Kaiba had rented it out just for them. "You didn't have to do all this." Yugi stated. "I wanted to." Seto said. "I can't argue with that." Yugi smiled. They all got out of the limo, Joey and Tristan ran through the sand to the water. Yugi and Tea ran after them. "Kaiba…" Atem began. "Hm?" Kaiba inquired. "What you did for him and I, I will be forever grateful." Atem said. "You know, through the years we've been rivals and I didn't particularly like any of you, but after all the years of putting a wall around myself, I realized how much I truly cared for all of you, especially Joey. Watching Yugi suffer like that…seeing it all happen in front of me. Well, I think it would drive anyone to do what I did." Kaiba explained. "You see him now, smiling and laughing…" Kaiba said, motioning to Yugi. "We thought it was over, we thought we would never see that again. Protect him, Atem." Kaiba added.

Atem glanced at Yugi, who was sitting in the sand, letting the waves brush past his feet. Atem took the opportunity to sit behind Yugi and wrap his arms around the front of him. Yugi held on to Atem's arms and leaned into his chest. "It's a beautiful sunset." Yugi said. Atem looked at Yugi and smiled. "I agree." Atem said. Yugi looked up at Atem and giggled. "You didn't even look at the sunset." Yugi said. "I'm already looking at the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Atem said. Yugi blushed and looked away. Atem lifted Yugi's chin to look at him and kissed him lightly on the lips. Yugi kissed back immediately. The world froze when they kissed and all they could feel was each other's warmth. "I love you, Yugi." Atem whispered. "Atem…I love you too." Yugi smiled, happy tears running down his face. Atem kissed him again, deeper and more passionate.

Everyone smiled as they watched the scene unfold before them. "If anything was ever meant to be, those two were." Tea said. "I think I can say the same about me and someone else." Joey smiled and grabbed Seto's hand.

Yugi looked into Atem's eyes, he felt whole again. "I'm sor-" Atem began, but Yugi cut him off with a kiss. "Don't say you're sorry, you've said it too many times since you've come back. You have nothing to be sorry for. You didn't know. Neither of us were truly ready to separate." Yugi said, touching Atem's face with his hands. Atem leaned his forehead against Yugi's and sighed. "I can't argue with you." He smiled. "Good, now let's go home." Yugi said.

/~***~\\\\\

Yugi and Atem got ready for bed. "Atem, will you sleep in here with me?" Yugi asked, blushing. "Of course, little one." Atem smiled. Yugi was in his pajamas under the covers, waiting for Atem. Atem removed his shirt and tossed to the floor. Yugi blushed super red. "Oh, I should have asked if that's okay…I kind of got used to sleeping like this." Atem said, embarrassed. "I don't mind." Yugi said, admiring Atem's tanned chest. Atem climbed into bed and held Yugi in his arms.

"Yugi…" Atem began.
"Yeah?" Yugi inquired.
"So, while you were away, I talked to Joey about some things. I wanted to try to get a little more familiar with how you do and say things in this time period." Atem stated.
"Okay…what did Joey tell you?" Yugi said, almost concerned, for Atem's sake.
"He said that if we kissed, that would make you my boyfriend." Atem said, becoming flustered.
Yugi giggled. "Not necessarily, you have to ask me if I want to be your boyfriend. But kissing me was a good indicator that you want me to be your boyfriend." He smiled.
"I do want you to be my boyfriend. Do you want to be my boyfriend?" Atem asked, he was blushing and obviously nervous. Yugi thought it was cute.
"Of course." Yugi smiled and kissed Atem.
"I'd like to kiss you, like Joey and Kaiba were kissing in the limo earlier…" Atem trailed off.
Yugi was blushing every color of red imaginable, he wanted that too.
"But I don't know how…" Atem said, looking down at Yugi.
"I think it's just something that happens naturally, you don't need to know how to do it." Yugi stated, looking up at Atem.

Atem and Yugi leaned into each other and kissed each other softly. Atem kissed Yugi a little harder, Yugi responded by kissing him back even harder. Atem pulled Yugi into his chest and ran his hand up Yugi's back to the back of his neck, holding him there. Yugi tangled his fingers in Atem's hair. Atem ran his tongue over Yugi's bottom lip, Yugi parted his lips and allowed his darkness entrance. Their tongues tangled together and the only reason they separated was due to the need for air. They were both panting and their eyes were glazed over, they both felt euphoric. "I liked that." Yugi whispered. Atem didn't respond, he just kissed Yugi again, this time climbing on top of him. Yugi wrapped his arms around Atem's neck and kissed him back.

"You know, Joey did tell me about something else…" Atem began, looking over Yugi's body. Yugi blushed and stuttered. He couldn't believe this was happening, but he wanted it. "Um…" Yugi began, getting redder. Atem giggled. "You're so cute when you blush." He whispered. Yugi looked at him and sat up.

"Is this cute?" Yugi said and removed his shirt.
Atem looked at Yugi in awe. "Well…that's uh…what's the word for it, Yugi?" he asked.
"Hot." Yugi smirked.
"Yes…yes, that is very hot." Atem said, reaching a hand to touch Yugi's chest.
Yugi climbed into Atem's lap and wrapped his arms around his neck and his legs around his waist.
"Yugi…I like this feeling." Atem smiled.
"You know what would make it better?" Yugi asked, smirking.
Yugi didn't wait for a response, but lightly nipped at Atem's neck. Atem let out a soft moan.
Atem laid Yugi back down on the bed and pressed his body to his.
"Yugi…I want you." Atem whispered in his ear.
"Take me." Yugi moaned.

Atem kissed Yugi hard and moved his hands to remove Yugi's pajama bottoms. Yugi bucked his hips in the air to help Atem out. Atem sat back and admired Yugi's size. Yugi's entire body was flush beneath him. "You're so beautiful." Atem whispered and leaned down to kiss Yugi. "I love you." Yugi whispered. "I love you too, little one." Atem whispered and stood to remove his own pants. Yugi didn't have words for Atem's beauty. Atem climbed back on top of Yugi and their members touched, allotting a moan from each of them. "You ready Yugi?" Atem asked, brushing a lock of hair from his face. "Yes…I want you Atem…I need you." Yugi pleaded.

"Your wish is my command." Atem smiled and slowly entered Yugi. "AGH!" Yugi yelled. Atem considered stopping. "No, no, don't stop!" Yugi pleaded. Atem took it incredibly slow, not wanting to hurt Yugi. Atem threw his head back, Yugi was so tight and warm, he wanted to make love to him harder. "Move faster…" Yugi whispered. Atem began to pick up the pace. Yugi ran his nails down Atem's back and got a loud moan out of the former pharaoh. That made him go even faster. "Atem…kiss me! I'm gonna scream, and I don't want to wake grandpa." Yugi said. Atem lifted Yugi on to his lap and kissed him, thrusting into him deeper. "AH!" Yugi screamed, he broke the kiss when Atem hit his prostate. "Please…please hit that spot again." Yugi pleaded. Atem kissed Yugi and grabbed him by the hips, slamming Yugi down into him. Yugi had his nail embedded into the pharaoh's back.

Atem's head was spinning, he was in a state of pure euphoria. He could feel everything more intimately. The softness of Yugi's lips, the deep indents of Yugi's nails in his back, and the hot, tight walls of Yugi surrounding his member. "I love you so much, Yugi." Atem moaned. "I…love…you…" Yugi said between thrusts. Atem grabbed Yugi's member and stroked it in his hands. "Ahhh!" Yugi moaned and threw his head back. "Yugi…I'm getting close." Atem whispered. "I'm coming!" Yugi yelled and released on to both of their stomachs. Yugi's cum coated Atem's fingers, he brought them to his lips and licked it all off. "You taste wonderful, Yugi." Atem whispered. Atem started to pound into Yugi faster and faster. "I'm coming Yugi!" Atem moaned and released himself inside of Yugi.

The two boys panted hard and locks of hair stuck to their sweaty foreheads. Atem laid Yugi down before removing himself slowly. He laid next to Yugi and pulled him into his arms. "That was wonderful." Atem said, kissing Yugi's temple. "I agree." Yugi smiled, exhaling deeply. "Are you alright?" Atem asked. "I'm great, just very sleepy." Yugi stated. "Let's get some rest." Atem said. "Okay." Yugi smiled and kissed Atem.

"You know what's funny?" Yugi asked, giggling.
"What's that?" Atem inquired.
"Joey told you about all of that, right?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah…" Atem raised a brow.
"We both know that Kaiba wouldn't let him be in control of anything." Yugi laughed.
Atem laughed really loud at that.

"Yugi…" Atem began, he knew Yugi was about to fall asleep. "Hmm…" Yugi managed. "After all of this, we found each other once again, as soulmates…not just friends." Atem smiled. "We've always been soulmates, I felt it in my heart from the day I met you." Yugi said, kissing Atem hard. Atem held Yugi tighter and they both drifted off to sleep.
