It was late at night. Tea, Bakura and Yami-Yugi's day went like this: Tea overslept and ate dinner alone in her bedroom. Bakura did some orders and ate in his bedroom alone as well. Yami-Yugi was furious with rage; various country leaders that surrounded Egypt were threatening to destroy his land unless he paid them extra tax money.
The way he solved this problem proved to be odd but logical: by a duel. Yami-Yugi dueled each of the leaders, and Yami-Yugi was victorious in each duel. Because he won, he didn't have to pay the extra taxes and they called off the threat. Overall, Yami-Yugi was the most stressed out and tired; he ate some food but not like a meal.
Sitting on his throne, Yami-Yugi was yet again alone in his throne room with Sababah. He had a thumping headache, which made him very irritated; he sat with his knuckles pressed against his temples.
"Sababah, are you still open to playing the harp for me?" mumbled Yami-Yugi.
"But of course, my Pharaoh. Would you like me to play a relaxing song?"
"Please."
Sababah walked to the back room, where instruments of all kinds were stored. While Sababah was getting the harp, a servant walked in and saluted to Yami-Yugi.
"Pharaoh, Tea wishes to come in and talk to you." Yami-Yugi sighed out of relief just from hearing Tea's name; he knows that Tea will brighten his mood.
"Ah, Tea; Yes, please let her in." The servant saluted, then walked to the throne room's front doors and opened them for Tea.
She walked in and gave a small bow to Yami-Yugi. "Hi Yami-Yugi. How's your day been?"
He frowned. "Tea, come here and sit on the throne next to me. I wish to tell you my day while you are sitting with me." She paused, more or less to think about it, then smiled and walked to the throne. She sat next to him, feeling as though it was a huge honor of him to ask such a thing.
"So Yami-Yugi, are you okay?"
"Well, I'm okay, just tired and stressed out. I have this really bad headache. Other than that my day was just busy."
She seemed to notice how tired he looked; considering he's using Yugi's body, he looked dehydrated and sleep deprived. His eyes had slight dark circles, and he looked a little pale. She took his hands and was holding them.
"I'm sorry you had a rough day. I hope you feel better though."
He seemed to relax a bit, his tense shoulders loosening. He liked her soft and tender voice and touch, and gave her a warm smile.
"Thank you, Tea."
Sababah was sitting with a harp placed in front of him. He was positioned at a slight angle in a little in front of both Tea and Yami-Yugi.
"My Pharaoh, the piece I will be playing for you is called Evening Fall. It is a calming peace, and will hopefully set your mind at ease. Please enjoy."
And so, without further ado, Sababah played Evening Fall for his Pharaoh and Tea. All negative feelings were faded from Yami-Yugi, and he began to relax very, very much. Both Tea and Yami-Yugi were quiet, listening and appreciating each wonderful tune, each wonderful melody. Tea was smiling, and so was Yami-Yugi.
"So beautiful..." whispered Yami-Yugi to himself, which made Tea look at Yami-Yugi. His skin color was radiant and lively again; his eyes were closed and he was sucked into a peaceful daydream with the music. She paused, but decided to relax as well; she held his hands with love and compassion, and closed her eyes as well.
After another minute or so the song was finished. Sababah placed his hands on his lap, then asked Yami-Yugi, "My Pharaoh, did you like the song?"
Peaceful silence was Yami-Yugi's response, as he nodded his head yes slowly, opening his eyes.
Tea opened her eyes, and she said in awe, "It was breathtaking Sababah. You play the harp very well." Sababah simply smiled and thanked her for the compliment.
"I loved every second of it my bodyguard. Thank you, and please, I want you to play that for me and my Tea every night."
"Gladly, my Pharaoh." Tea blinked and thought on what she just heard.
*Wow, does Yami-Yugi like me? I like him too, but...* She realized that she really likes Yami-Yugi, so she got off the throne she was sitting on, and gave Yami-Yugi a bow.
"Thank you for letting me spend some time with you this night. Can we spend some time together tomorrow night?" Yami-Yugi was blushing.
"Of course, Tea. Good night." He gave her a goodnight hug, which made Tea's cheeks glow a cute pink color. She gave him a hug back, but for some reason she couldn't let go, and neither would he. Their hug lasted a good half minute, until Tea let go.
"Um, well, good night Pharaoh!" She waved while running off to her room, trying to hide the blush all over her face. Yami-Yugi stood there, watching her leave to her bedroom. He knew that he was in true love with Tea Gardener...and Tea knew she was in true love with Pharaoh Yami-Yugi.
