Chapter 4
"Lady Rebecca, there you are!" Yugi exclaimed as he made his way into the gardens.
"And there you are Prince Yugi! Did you know I just had to suffer the past three sun movements through the company of Crown Prince Otogi?" Lady Rebecca asked of Yugi as he sat down on the bench beside her.
"Suffer in his company?" Yugi asked, tilting his head slightly. "I thought you enjoyed his company."
"Which makes your news all the more brighter for us, Otogi and I, I mean," Lady Rebecca said batting her eyelashes.
"My news?" Yugi questioned scrunching his nose. "You know the servants in this palace, they talk too much." He rolled his eyes.
"I heard he called you a gift. Tell me that isn't true?" Lady Rebecca asked in a gossiping whisper. Yugi gave her a look in return.
"Oh wow, he did? How much more of a baka could you be?" Lady Rebecca said putting a hand to her chest in amazement.
"Well for him, I'm pretty sure it only gets worse from here." Yugi said back not even noticing Yami coming upon them from around the bend.
"Well, I suppose it's a good thing you know Khemet, Mr. Over Achiever," Rebecca teased.
Yugi laughed at her joke, and went into the story of how Yami found out he could speak the language so well too. She was howling with laughter by the end of his story. That's was one of the things that Yugi hadn't minded about her being his fiancé. She wasn't afraid to laugh. Unlike previous women he'd been betrothed to that did this teetering little laugh that was both high, and annoying.
Yami wondered if this blonde haired girl was Yugi's old fiancé, Lady Rebecca. If she was, it appeared that the two were close. Well now seemed as good as any a time to drive a wedge between them. Opening his mouth, Yami made his presence known.
"Prince Yugi?" Yami called out.
The reaction was instant. The two stopped laughing and turned to him. This gave Yami a better view of his ex-fiancé. Lady Rebecca was a girl with vibrant shoulder length blonde hair and beautiful teal eyes. The two sitting there together on the bench looked as if they would make a cute couple. However seeing as they were no longer a couple, it was time for this girl to step aside.
"I'll leave you two to it then, but do you want it back?" Lady Rebecca said turning back to Yugi and holding up her left hand that portrayed the ring Yugi had given her.
"Keep it, it was a gift," Yugi said grasping the hand and kissing the ring upon her finger.
"He is lucky to have you," Lady Rebecca whispered releasing her hand from his grasp to cup his right cheek. It appeared to Yami to be an intimate gesture, but that just proved how little he knew about their relationship.
"Perhaps, in time, he shall see that too," Yugi whispered back removing her hand and placing it against her chest.
"I shall see you at dinner then, Prince Yugi?" Lady Rebecca asked in a louder voice getting up.
Yugi nodded, and waited for her to start walking away before he too stood up. Yugi looked towards Yami, than looked away, before finally looking back to him again. When he looked back at him the second time, he opened his mouth to speak to the other Prince.
"Let's take a walk, shall we?" Yugi asked before walking off, not even giving Yami time to respond. Yami started to move after him, when a hand was slammed against his chest, bringing him to an abrupt halt.
"If you harm him in any way, believe me there are plenty of people here that will make you pay," Lady Rebecca said in a deadly whisper before picking up her skirts and walking away her head held high. Yami watched her in wonder for a moment. Just how many people here knew Khemet?
"You coming?" Yugi asked from behind him.
"Yes," Yami responded looking at him before taking one more look at Lady Rebecca and then making to follow Yugi.
"You wanted to discuss something with me?" Yugi prompted Yami after a few moments of silence of walking side by side through the garden.
"Yes, I wanted to apologize for my rude behavior earlier. The way I spoke to you was irregular, volatile, and inexcusable. I momentarily forgot to whom I was addressing and that was wrong of me. I only ask now, for your forgiveness of my foolery and mockery of your position. It was my mistake and I take full blame for it," Yami said in a very formal manner.
Yugi was silent for a few moments. He forgot who he was talking to? Now that Yugi highly doubted. It was more likely he assumed Yugi didn't know his language, or rather only had a small sampling of it.
He sighed, debating whether or not he should forgive Yami now or make him wait for an answer later. Though, making someone wait wasn't in his personality, and he knew he wouldn't be able to hold back an answer all through dinner. He would most likely end up blurting out his answer half way through, making a fool of himself and Crown Prince Yami. He had been made a fool of once today, he would not allow it to be done again on his account.
"Yes, I forgive you Crown Prince Yami," Yugi said smiling a little at the other Prince.
"Please just Yami is fine," Yami replied back with a smirk.
"I would never address you in a so informal way Prince Yami," Yugi said back in a slightly affronted voice.
"Alright, then may I escort you to dinner Prince Yugi?" Yami asked in slightly defeated tone holding out his arm to the smaller Prince.
"You may, Prince Yami," Yugi responded back surprising the older Prince by looping his arm through his.
"So which way is the dining hall?" Yami asked Yugi.
"Allow me to escort you there," Yugi said, laughing and starting to pull Yami in the right direction of the eating hall.
;p;p;p;p
When Prince Yami and Prince Yugi entered the dining hall, they found that they were the last to arrive. Princes Jou and Honda had invited their betrothed, Sir Seto and Duchess Serenity. Yugi blinked, it appeared that there were two Seto Kaiba's at the table, and Malik for some reason was sitting at the table.
Yugi unhooked his arm from Yami's and made to go ask Malik what it was he thought he was doing. Yugi had barely made it two steps before a hand was placed gently upon his left bicep, bringing him to an abrupt halt. Turning Yugi came face to face with…Malik? Yugi's head shook from side to side in confusion looking back and forth between the two.
"You could be twins," Yugi whispered to Malik.
"I know, freaky isn't it?" Malik whispered back.
"Just a bit," Yugi whispered back.
"Come on, you and his Highness Prince Yami are already late, best not to mosey about in the doorway," Malik said letting go of his arm and walking back to his position.
Yugi re-grasped Prince Yami's arm and led him over to his seat. Yugi had expected to pull out Yami's chair for him and was quite surprised when Yami beat him to it. Yami gracefully let go of Yugi's arm and swiftly pulled out the younger Prince's chair, motioning him for to sit down. Yugi was brought up to except all kinds of courtesy, so he gracefully sat down in the chair just as it was being pushed forward. Yugi fell onto the plump cushion, and watched as Yami then sat in his own chair that Malik pulled out and pushed in for him.
It was silent at the table for a few moments as everyone took one another in. Now that Yugi was sitting at the table he could tell that there weren't two Seto's at the table only one, and another male that looked dead similar to him. Though, Yugi could definitely say he didn't like the way that that other Seto, was looking at his brother Jou. Jou was already betrothed, so an engagement between the other Seto and his brother were out of the question. He wasn't the only one who noticed though, Emperor Solomon had also noticed, and put an abrupt halt on the staring.
"Priest Seth, nephew of the Pharaoh and cousin of the Crown Prince, I do not believe you have met Sir Seto Kaiba, the Second Prince Jounouchi's fiancé," Solomon said loudly as the first entrée of their meal started to come in.
"No, I didn't know, but thank you for making me aware of my rude behavior. It's just that you are so handsome I can't help but stare at your beauty," Seth said in reply to Emperor Solomon before turning back to stare again at Prince Jounouchi.
The reaction to this comment was instant. Sir Seto was on his feet, sword drawn, ready for battle. He had promised his life to protect Prince Jounouchi's when he had proposed; he had never thought he would have to do so against a look alike of his. Prince Jou spoke up before he got the chance however, putting a stop to a fight before it began.
"Put it away Seto," Jou said quietly. He turned to Solomon. "Grandpa, Seto and I will be eating out on the terrace, so as not to cause conflict between us and our foreign guests."
"That is most wise, do so," Solomon responded back giving his approval.
Jou nodded, and getting up he guided Seto out to one of the three the balconies that was adjoined to the dining room. After the two left there was a hovering awkward silence in the air, which was only disturbed by the kitchen servants taking away their untouched first entrees. It was broken stiffly by Mai attempting a conversation.
"So tell us Prince Yami, what's Egypt like?" Mai asked folding her hands and placing them in her lap.
"Um, it's a prosperous and growing country," Yami responded back a bit awkwardly, caught off guard.
"Prince Yami?" Otogi asked from down the table.
Yami had to lean over Yugi just to see him as they were sitting on the same side. Once he caught sight of the other Crown Prince, he nodded for him to continue. Otogi wasn't paying attention as he was fiddling with something in Lady Rebecca's hair. Lady Rebecca nudged Prince Otogi's side, and motioned in his direction. Looking up, Otogi asked his question.
"What will Yugi's role be in Egypt?" Otogi asked rather bluntly.
An indignant noise to his right made Prince Yami look down to see a very bright red faced Yugi. He smirked behind Yugi's back and thought of a way to make that bright red color to grow darker. Opening his mouth, he answered the question without a second thought.
"As the Royal Wife of course," Yami said with a sinister smile twisting about his lips looking down at Yugi. He was right; Yugi's face went from a bright red to a dark maroon tint. Yami couldn't have been any prouder knowing he was the one to have made Yugi blush so darkly.
"Uh, if you will please excuse me for a moment, I need a moment," Yugi said getting up placing his napkin on his chair and all but running from the room.
Yami didn't even hesitate before hurrying after him; perhaps he had gone a bit too far. Yami followed the back of Yugi's clothes as he ran after the boy. Yugi finally led them into the garden they had been in earlier. Yami found Yugi pacing by one of the many fountains, his face less red, but the tint still being there. Yami caught Yugi's arm bringing him to a halt mid pace, and swung the boy around to face him.
"What is the matter Prince Yugi?" Yami asked him looking down into those beautiful amethyst gems.
"You haven't proposed and yet you expect me to be your…Royal Wife, anyway," Yugi said looking away from Yami deep crimson eyes.
"I am sorry, but it would be informal for me to propose here, for I did not bring a ring with me. I did not expect to find someone as beautiful as you here," Yami explained gently raising a hand to cup Yugi's cheek. Yugi had to fight not to lean into the comforting touch.
"You can still ask," Yugi said back.
Yami nodded and got down on one knee. Yugi hadn't expected him to do it right away, but apparently Yami wasn't one to waste time. Taking his left hand Yami looked up into Yugi's eyes.
"Prince Yugi Hikari Mutou, will you do me the honor of becoming my Royal Wife of Egypt, my Husband, in all the days to come, and be ever faithful to both me and my Country, and my people, and should I ever need assistance in government would you assist a guiding hand, and lastly will you love me forever more, as I have fallen in love for you?" Yami asked sincerity in every single word that he spoke.
"Yes," Yugi sighed out.
On the outside Yami was smiling a kind smile, on the inside he was smirking in victory. That had been too easy to charm the young Prince. This engagement was going to be a piece of cake. Or at least those were Yami's thought as he stood backup, and leaned in to kiss Prince Yugi.
Yami's lips were a breath away from Yugi's when Yugi pulled back. Yami's eyes snapped open in confusion when all he felt was the thin air. Yugi was giving him a look of 'what are you doing'? Maybe this wasn't going to be as easy as he originally thought.
"Prince Yugi, in Egypt it is custom to seal the proposal with a kiss," Yami tried, he knew that wasn't true but it was worth a try just to get a feel for those lips of his.
It was? Yugi hadn't remembered there being any mention of it in all the books he had read earlier. Still though, he was sure that they couldn't be completely accurate. Perhaps someone had forgotten to write this custom down, or it was one that had since been made than when those books had been written.
Yugi still looked a little uneasy; bit stayed still this time as Yami leaned in. Wrapping his arms firmly around Yugi's waist, he drew him in closer, until they were pressed chest against chest. Strangely enough, Yugi seemed to fit there perfectly, like Yami's chest had been sculpted just for him. Leaning the short distance down, Yami gently captured Yugi's lips with his own, taking his bottom lip into his own mouth and sucking on it gently.
Yami was surprised slightly when Yugi copied his movements with his top lip, sucking it into his mouth in a more tender way than Yami could have imagined. Running his tongue along Yugi's bottom lip, he plunged the muscle into Yugi's mouth when he gasped at the feeling. Yugi didn't even fight him for dominance which gave Yami free range to explore the younger Prince's moist cavern. Yugi tasted better than the grapes they had in the palace, and those grapes had been the sweetest things Yami had ever tasted. Yugi tasted ten times better than the fruit though. Releasing an arm from around Yugi's waist Yami used the hand to cup the back of Yugi's neck so he could tilt it back, giving him better access to the sweet taste that was Yugi.
Yugi was in pure bliss, he had no idea how to kiss really, as this was his first, but the things Yami was doing to him, were driving him crazy. Fisting his hands into Yami's tunic, he pulled him closer to get more of that exotic spice that he didn't have a name for that was rolling off the tongue that had invaded his mouth. Yugi finally got the courage to rub his tongue against Yami's earning a delighted noise from the elder Prince. Rubbing his tongue some more against the appendage he didn't even realize that Yami was leading him out of his own mouth and into his, until he found himself exploring a moist cavern unhindered. Yugi found that if he rubbed the tip of his tongue along the top of Yami's in a specific way that the elder Prince shuddered in pleasure.
Finally the need for air started to grow as an undeniable need the longer they put it off. Finally Yugi broke the kiss though gasping for air, feeling slightly empowered that Yami was doing the same. Kami if just kissing him like this had him so flushed, he wondered what else could make Yami pant like that.
Yami was thinking something similar, only he was thinking Yugi would look even cuter panting, moaning, and screaming his name from underneath him. Ra, he had picked a fine choice indeed for a Husband. Yami couldn't wait to get him back to Egypt and marry him, so he could take him and make him his, and only his. Yami had no doubt in his mind that Yugi was a virgin, the boy kissed like one, tentative and shy, so he had to be virgin in other ways too. Yami couldn't wait to test out his theory as he drew the young Prince close, holding him in his arms as they made their way back to the dining hall.
