To my lovely readers, I am so very sorry I have not updated this in a while. You will not believe how much work I have had. I spent 11 hours pretty much straight on my food tech work the other day. Hopefully within this week I will have more time to update. Thank you for all staying with me for this long. Only a few more chapters left!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh.

A boy with shoulder length white hair and brown eyes stood at the gates, waiting for someone to let him in. Suddenly a guard came.
"Ryou, please follow me."
The boy named Ryou followed the guard, marvelling at the sight of the wonderful gardens.
He was lead inside the house and to a door where one guard was standing.
"In there." The guard told Ryou and then left. The other two guards opened the door and Ryou walked inside. There he saw Yugi, sitting on a chair and looking out the window.
"Yugi!" Ryou called out. Yugi looked over and they both ran across the room to each other. They hugged.
"Yugi! I came as soon as I could!" He hugged him again, "I came home from the trip to my uncle's house and went to your house. It was burnt down! I asked your neighbour, and he said that Pharaoh himself came and took you away! Are you alright?"
They let go of each other and Yugi lead Ryou over to the table where some fresh fruit was. They both sat down.
"I am fine, Ryou. Thank you for coming."
"I don't understand, Yugi. When the king's guards come and take someone away, they are usually put in jail. But the king himself came for you, and you get a room in the palace!" Ryou looked around the room. It was almost as big as his house! "How come he took you?"
"Well, I don't know, but it's better than being there, isn't it? I mean, sure, he took me away from school, but I lost my house and Mother and Grandfather. There is nothing else there for me."
Ryou looked thoughtful.
"Well, ok. So what's he like? The Pharaoh?"
Yugi sighed and looked at the window.
"He's sweet, caring, strong, powerful, passionate. He's everything."
Ryou looked at Yugi. He could see the stars in his eyes.
"You've fallen in love with him, haven't you?" Yugi blushed.
"You have! Does he know?" Ryou exclaimed.
"Of course he knows." Yugi replied. Ryou gave a squeal.
"So? Tell me about it! Have you done it?" Ryou wanted to know everything!
Yugi blushed even more. Ryou screamed in delight like a teenage girl. Yugi quickly covered his mouth.
"Quiet Ryou! I don't want the whole world to know!"
"Oh my Ra! I can't believe this! So do you know his name?"
"Yes." Ryou squealed again.
"So when is the rest of Egypt going to find out?" Yugi sighed and looked down at the table. Ryou had a bad feeling about this sigh.
"I don't know. Some of the Pharaoh's court doesn't like the idea of us. I mean, come on, everyone expects the Pharaoh to marry some rich guy's daughter, not a common boy like me."
"You mean, you've already fucked him, but you may not be able to marry him?" Ryou asked. Yugi agreed, "But you could be condemned to death for that!"
Yugi looked up worriedly.
"I know, but the Pharaoh is talking about it now with his court. I don't think he would ever let that happen."
There was an uncomfortable silence.
"Just be careful, Yugi."
They both smiled at each other. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. It opened and Atem came inside. Ryou bowed very low on the ground and Yugi stood up.
"Hello. You must be Ryou. I have heard you were here."
Ryou stood up.
"Good afternoon, your Highness."
"Good afternoon. I was just about to go to lunch. Would you both like to join me?" Atem asked.
Ryou looked to Yugi and Yugi nodded.
"Yes please." Ryou answered.
"Great! I will get the chef to make a wonderful meal. Come, we shall eat in the gardens."
Yugi and Ryou followed Atem out to the garden.

After lunch Ryou went home and Atem and Yugi went up to Atem's room to talk.
"I have good and bad news." Atem started when they were both sitting on his bed, "They have agreed to let you and I get married."
Yugi had a big smiled on his face.
"But," Yugi's smiled faded, "you have to prove your ability to them."
"What ability?" Yugi asked, worried.
"Your ability to be by my side and take on roles. You have to be able to take my place if I have to go away for a while." Atem said.
"Wouldn't Seto do that? He is your High Preist." Yugi asked.
"What if Seto comes with me? You have to be able to do it." Yugi nodded.
Atem looked at Yugi. He lifted his head to face him and they kissed.
"I know you can do it Yugi." They kissed again.
