(With Atem)

It had been three days since Yugi and Atem had met under the mother of the albino child, but from a house you could hear something. Voices. Arguing voices. It sounded like a father and son- oh. Oh my god. It was Atem and his father. "FATHER! How can you do this to me? I don't have feelings for- for that witch! I wouldn't marry HER if she were the last living being on earth with me! I wouldn't touch her! Undo this right now! I LOVE SOMEONE ELSE- AND IT ISN'T HER!" Atem bellowed furiously, hands slamming onto the table below. He lived in a more fancy house of the small town, not completely outrageous- but he was a bit more well off then others.

Said older man just looked coldly at his son. "You refuse to try and court any of the women here, so I chose for you. Who else is there you could love- you look at no one!" Atem's neck was prickling, he could just /feel/ his lips pull back from his teeth. He swung an amazingly harsh glare towards his father. Through his teeth he tried to spit out audiably.

"Not a child well be born unto this family- from that woman. Not a child will be born unto this family from ANY woman. If you can not accept that- then you ended this family the minute I was born." He let out venemously, flinging something off of the table and turning, raging out of the house before the elder could pull him to a hault. Said woman was Anzu- a ring had been given to her, promising his marriage. She attached to him immediatley when he entered the streets.

"Atem, dearest, what's the matter?" She said in a sickeningly sweet voice, rubbing up against him and batting her eyelashes, trying to look cute. He looked at her and gave a low growl, picking up her left hand and ripping the ring right off, and holding it to his chest.

"You are not the one I will marry. Not in a day of my life would I look at you. Be gone." He spat, his eyes glaring coldly at her before he shook her off, almost violently- but not quiet. He turned away sharply, pulling a torch off of the side of a house- as he had the day of the ball, and held it high, starting into the forest until only a bobbing lamp of light showed where he was. Anzu was left behind- gawping as if she were a fish.

Atem was walking at a slow and infuriated pace, then started to speed walk, then he sprinted to the point the flame was almost going out upon the torch he held. It clattered to the ground and sputtered out as the cliff came into view from beyond the trees. It was empty- as Atem had feared, his heart sank lowly. Every night he had visited this place, waiting for the beautiful moon child to come back to him. His shoulders sagged as he hit the edge of the cliff, looking out over the calm sea.

So very unlike him- to be so depressed. To be so alone. He literally threw himself down onto the ground, he was just. . . so tired. He was so tired of this life. These people. The same thing every day- he never got to make a choice for himself. It would drive him mad. He moaned out painfully, "Yuugi. . . . .Yuugi! Would a name be any sweeter, if only you would respond to me? Yuugi!" His voice was painful, he stared out over the sea that started to come alive- yet he barely noticed.

(With Yugi)

Said child- Yugi, watched the entire scene play out. He hadn't wanted to come too soon- not wanting to seem like he was over-excited. Yet every night he saw Atem come to the cliff and wait, staring at the moon, made his heart almost fly out of his chest and right down to him! Yet, he didn't understand what was happening- first his human-Atem, storms out of a house that Yugi had adapted to the point where he guessed Atem lived there, so angrily adn rips something right off of a womans finger, who had been clinging to him since yesterday. Then, he goes through teh forest and to the cliff- as always, and yet. . . .he's so depressed.

Throwing himself down like a servant begging for mercy from an infuriated leader. Like he's done wrong, or was accused wrongly of it and was just begging. His heart thudded painfully in his chest, Yugi reached up and clutched at the shirt that contained his throbbing heart, and squeezed it. Tears started to fall pitiously from his eyes.

The Mother of this child came alive, and spoke out through her craters. "Mi hijo, my son, why do you weep? You can see yoru human, I know, why are you so sad?" Yugi layed down against his mother and rubbed her rocky form tiredly- the moon giving a gentle hum.

"Mamma, he is so sad! He is so in pain- I don't understand! He always smiled at me up here and waited, I don't know what has happened! Look at him!" Yugi said painfully, pointing down at Atem, the moon turned her face slowly to the human. The moon sighed.

"My child, his family had attempted to force marriage upon him. I have been watching him closely for you. Before he met you, well, he wouldn't have really cared. Yet when he met you, I know this. The only one he will marry is the one he chooses- and he has chosen who he will already, but he fears his family will not accept it. For the person he chooses is not a woman." The moon let out slowly, Yugi sniffed and rubbed his eyes. He wasn't sure who the man was, but this was not good- he should go down and encourage him!

"Mamma, I have to go to him. You must understand." He said gently, before his mother could reply- he had already jumped off and formed himself upon the cliff edge. Atem looked up slightly to the glow that appeared a bit a ways away from him. He felt his eyes widen and his mouth open tos ay something, forcing himself up- he turned to Yugi.

"You're. . . . .You're here! Yuugi! Mi Pequeña (My little one -small-)"he cried out with a bitter smile, and he started forwards to Yugi, holding out his arms. Before Yugi could blink, he was wrapped up tightly in strong, warm and inviting, tan arms. He gave a light squeak, his hands crushed to the others chest gently, he turned his head up slowly.

"M-Mi humanos, why are you people so cruel? Marriage should not be forced on you! It isn't fair! You love someone already- a man, I'm not sure. . . .they can't keep you from him! They just can't, love is all that matters- how can they be so blind? I am so sorry." Yugi let out sadly, resting his forehead gently against the others chest.

Atem looked down at him, his eyebrows raising in surprise. He hadn't expected this child to be able to inspect what happened upon the earth- let alone hear things. He didn't voice his assumptions though, just rubbed the others back gently- smiling at his obliviousness. "You are positive of who it is. You must know him better then anyone else could!" He stated with a gentle sigh, lookign at the ring in his grasping hand.

Yugi looked up at him, a bit confused, stepping back. "But. . .I know no humans other than you- one on one at least, and I only know thigns about you. And you know yourself better then me- so who could it be?" He narrowed his eyes in a scrutionating look, trying to find the answer in Atem's face- he apparently hadn't for he turned away.

Atem pulled Yugi back to him sharply, sighing and shaking his head, touching the others nose, then cheek, then jaw and chin gently- his fingers sliding slowly. Yugi blinked and tried to watch the hand that touched him, breathing shakily. Atem then leaned down and held Yugi's hands together and rested his cheek against them, then kissed them lightly. Yugi flushed akwardly and fidgited a bit in his hold.

"Yuugi, are you really so oblivious? I can't exactly propose to your mother. . . ." Atem let out with a gentle chuckle, Yugi blinked and flushed harder. Propose? So he was going to propose to whoever it was he liked! Wait, he still didn't know who it was! He then looked down as he felt Atem start to press his lips to his hand again, more specifically the forth finger on his left hand.

"Hmmm. . . .Do you know why the ring of marriage is placed upon this finger?" Atem asked, tapping that same finger gently and looking up at Yugi. His blank expression told Atem that he hadn't the slightest clue. He sighed again and rubbed that hand against his own cheek. "This finger is the only one with a vein that goes straight to your heart." Atem answered slowly. Kissing the finger again, Yugi blinked and felt his throat close up, hi heart fluttering rapidly. This couldn't be good for his health.

"W-What are you trying to s-say?" Yugi stuttered out quietly, his hand trembling slightly in Atem's gentle hold. Atem looked up- ad smiled when he saw realization was starting up into Yugi's eyes. He then held up the silver and gem studded ring, turning it so Yugi could get a look at it.

"Because I want your finger to be the one to uphold this ring."
