A/N~ Sorry it took so long to update. I was busy writing more one-shot for you all since they seemed to be loved a lot. Please review though. They make me happy. I don't own Yu-gi-oh….I don't even own a gun. Shows how much I know about them.

Sorry if it is a bit short!

Chapter 4

Atemu grumbled and stirred slightly. A small weight on his chest forced him to still his movements. He opened his crimson eyes to bright sunshine shining into their room. Their room. Atemu looked around as he recalled the events of the night before. The fight, the dream, and then…Yugi. Atemu looked down and saw his little charge snuggled warmly against him, arms wrapped about his waist tightly. He smiled. Yugi could always make him smile.

The former agent starred at the closed eyes of his little love wondering what the teen was dreaming about. He secretively wished that this moment would last forever. That way he would never have to face the real world. He could just in bed with Yugi forever. Sounded like a plan to him. He drew his arms about the younger and breathed in the scent of his hair. It was so perfect.

"You know, it kinda creeps me out when you do that." He heard a voice coming from the warm figure he was clinging to.

"Then stop tempting me." Atemu retorted, a smug look on his face. In a way it was all of Yugi's fault. This infatuation he had with him made him loose complete control of his emotions. One smile from his little charge and he felt like he was king of the world. He never use to feel this way, ever. The only thing on his mind was revenge, revenge for the death of his parents. Atemu swallowed hard, hoping against all hope that Yugi would not mention the events that had occurred just hours ago. He didn't want to have to explain.

"I can't help that I tempt you." Yugi replied with a yawn to follow. He flipped on his back and laid sideways, placing Atemu's arms on his abdomen. "But if you want, I could ask Bakura to give me a make over. I'm sure you wouldn't like that."

"Stay away from him." Atemu said seriously.

Yugi traced his fingers up and down Atemu's arm in a soothing manner. It made him relax slightly but only slightly. "I know you two have been having trouble lately. I hate it. I feel as if I am the one getting between the two of you."

"Don't worry about it." Atemu commented. "Bakura will get over it. He always does."

Yugi sighed but continued his soothing motions. "But you guys were friends long before you knew me. I know I am the reason for your arguments and I hate it. Maybe I should talk to him---,"

"I said don't worry about it." Atemu interjected. It was the only thing that bugged him about Yugi. The teen would put his own needs and desires aside just to please others. Though it was a character trait that attracted the former agent to him in the first place, he didn't want it interfering with his love relationship with the teen. Not now, when he needed him the most. "Bakura will get over himself sooner or later. Ryou will take care of that in more ways than one I'm afraid."

Yugi laughed. "I bet." He sat up and laid down on his protector. "Speaking of which…" He trailed off, an emotion in his voice that Atemu had particularly been dreading that morning. "We never got to do anything last night. Someone was in a grumpy mood." He said, putting emphasis on grumpy.

Atemu breathed a little. So far so good. "Well, I wasn't in the mood" He explained smugly.

"Ha!" Yugi forced a laugh.

"What?" He questioned innocently. "I'm allowed not to be in the mood for once aren't I?"

Yugi got up and made his way to the bathroom. He turned and gave Atemu a little teasing look. "Not likely." He said, before making his way into the room and shutting the door. Atemu growled slightly with a smirk on his face. He got up and made his way to the bathroom, turning the knob and forcing the door open. Yugi was sitting against the wall on the sink, his shirt off, smiling at his protector. "See? What did I tell you?"

Atemu raised an eyebrow. Oh yeah, he was good. His smirked widened slightly as he made his way over to the tempting teen. He carefully allowed one hand to trace patterns down Yugi's chest while using his other to force the teen's chin up to look at him. "Have I ever mentioned how beautiful you are?"

Yugi honestly thought about it for a second. "Yeah." He answered with a nod. :But only when you're about to screw me senseless."

Atemu frowned. "Huh." He said. "That's odd."

Yugi cocked his head. "Why?"

"Because I am thinking about it all the time."

Yugi almost sneered. "Well you never tell me."

Atemu stopped his pattern tracing and looked at Yugi seriously. "It's true though." He said sternly, forcing Yugi to gaze at him almost in concern. "I think about you all the time. You're all that is ever on my mind." Atemu admitted matter a factly. "I'm crazy about you." He wondered how Yugi was going to react to this. He had only once proclaimed his true thoughts and feelings to Yugi when they had been kidnapped by Marik and Mailk. The only reason for this was because he wasn't sure if they were going to make it out alive. Remembering the incident, Atemu allowed his eyes to wander down to Yugi's foot. A deep pink scar revealed itself on his foot. It was the only mark that scarred the alabaster beauty's body.

Yugi let his eyes travel to where Atemu was looking. He looked at the crimson and smiled genuinely. "Atemu." He said, forcing the mind wandering agent to look at him. "I know."

The former agent gazed into the soft amethyst. For a few seconds they remained this way, before Yugi got off of the sink and placed his arms about Atemu, hugging him tightly. Atemu wrapped his arms about the teen's waist and drew him closer. Yugi always knew what to do. After a few minutes of holding each other Atemu spoke softly, "But if you want to keep the record straight…." He said trailing off.

Yugi stood back and looked his protector up and down. "Nah." He said with a smile and walked out of the bathroom, replacing his shirt as he went.

Atemu growled fiercely, "You can't just seduce me and then walk away!" He shouted and ran after the teen. He grabbed him from behind and threw him on their bed. Yugi let out a playful yelp as his protector jumped on their bed and pounced on him.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXX!

Atemu stirred his coffee as Bakura walked in from upstairs and sat next to him at the kitchen table. They said nothing for a few moments before Bakura let out a long sigh. "So, hear the weather today is supposed to be great. Wanna go shot stuff in the woods or something?"

The former agent snickered and took a sip of his coffee. Clearing his throat, he answered, "Sure." He said.

Bakura got up and made himself a cup of coffee. As he poured the hot steaming delight, Ryou came bounding into the room. "Hiya Atemu!" He smiled, waving happily. "I saw you weren't on the couch this morning. Everything going okay?" He asked slyly.

Atemu nodded with a raise of his brow. "Hm" He responded with a nod and a smirk. At this Ryou laughed and turned to his lover. He wrapped his arms about his lover and kissed him on the back of the neck. Atemu looked down and saw something attached to the younger teen's ankle. "Ah, Ryou?" The teen turned to him, quizzically. Atemu nodded towards the floor and Ryou looked down.

"Oh!" He said, flushing a deep scarlet. "Um, Bakura? Do you have the key to this one? I could find one but not the other." He said in a hushed voice pointing down to the fuzzy cuff.

Bakura smiled. "It should be under the bed. I'll come up to help you find it in a minute."

Ryou bounded up the stairs while Bakura watched after him, a smirk planted on his face. Atemu smiled and gazed at Bakura. "It's not under the bed is it?" He questioned knowingly.

Bakura dug into his pocket and lifted out a small key.

"You truly are evil." Atemu commented with a chuckle. Bakura took a seat next to him and they sipped on coffee together. After a few moments, the former agent cleared his throat again and came clean with what had been on his mind for hours. "You know you're wrong right?"

Bakura looked at him questioningly.

"About yesterday." Atemu reminded him. "You're wrong. I love Yugi too much to let anything happen to him. I already lost two people I loved to those bastards. I'm not going to lose Yugi too. I won't." Atemu stated and took another gulp of his favorite beverage. "I may not be at my best right now, but that doesn't mean that I can't protect him. I will fight for him with every last bit of my life."

Bakura looked him up and down. "I know."

Atemu blinked. "You know?"

"You deaf?" Bakura sneered. "I said I know."

Atemu gapped at the agent. "Are you kidding me? Bakura, Yugi and I fought last night. It was our first fight as a couple and might have been last if I hadn't talked to him this morning! You could have ended our relationship! Now you're telling me that you know?!" He practically shouted.

"Yup." Bakura said. A moment of silence. "You fought?"

"Yes! "

Bakura laughed. "Good."

"How is that good?"

Bakura placed his cup down and turned to the former agent and his friend. "It means that you really thought about what I said. You really considered it. I know you care about Yugi. I just needed to remind you of that. I needed to remind you of our purpose for living." Bakura said. He turned his back on Atemu and they both looked out in the living room. Yugi and Ryou were taking tugging on the fuzzy cuff on Ryou's ankle, laughing awkwardly as they did. "They are the reason we are living right now. If it weren't for them, we would drown in our own miseries."

Drown in our miseries. Atemu thought over and over again. It was true. "Bakura." He said, forcing his friend to look back at him. "Have I mentioned how much I hate you this week?"
