A week of suspense should be good enough. I do not own Yugioh, enjoy! [YUGI, YAMI, and ATEM]
Chapter 22
The impact Yugi was waiting for never came. Instead he felt arms wrap around his form, and a slight grunt as the force knocked them both to the ground. Yugi's eyes snapped open as he prepared to lash out at the person who had foiled his suicide attempt. He never got a chance as he felt something be injected into his blood stream with a needle. Yugi's eyes closed as he fell into unconsciousness.

"…fought a little less, he wouldn't have tried it." Atem was saying.
"He's been angry and upset before, but he's never gone to such extremes as he did today." Yami said in frustration back.
"I think he's more than angry and upset, I think he's depressed." Atem said quietly.
Yugi shifted to find himself in his bed. Atem and Yami whipped around from the balcony to face him. He looked away from them to look at their open door. He didn't know why they had thwarted his attempt to take his life, they were better off without him.
"I know you don't believe that." Yami said.
"Then what should I believe?" Yugi asked back. A heavy weight pressed down on his hips, as two hands turned his face to look up into red violet eyes.
"Us, Yugi, you should believe in us. Atem and I aren't going to leave and come back with another human to replace you with. We couldn't anyway. A vampire is only allowed to have two lovers at a time." Yami started to explain.
"How convenient." Yugi muttered.
"Besides that, you don't honestly believe that we were just going to leave you here alone with only werewolves and your sister to protect you with Dartz on the loose did you?" Yami continued like Yugi hadn't even spoken. The look he was giving him said that that was exactly what he thought. Yami groaned leaning down to place his forehead against Yugi's.
"Yugi, we are leaving you with Marik, Mahad, and Isis. If Dartz wasn't here or he was dead, then they'd be coming with us, but because he isn't in either case, they're staying to look after you. Now, why did you jump?" Atem explained before directing a stern question at him. Yugi remained silent as he looked away.
"That's it, I can't take this anymore." Atem said leaving the room.
"Care to join your mate?" Yugi asked Yami.
"I'm your mate too." Yami growled at him.
"Could have fooled me with the way we've been acting towards one another this past month. I've been just as bad as you guys, but I asked for your birthdays so I could get to know you better. Why couldn't you just tell me? And why couldn't we just talk about January? Why? Hell, why couldn't we just talk at all?" Yugi asked looking him in the eyes.
"Got it. This should get us some answers and truthful ones at that. Open his mouth." Atem said coming in with a small brown bottle in his hands. Yami shoved his fingers into his mouth prying it open, despite Yugi's attempts to close it. Atem shoved something in his mouth and placed a hand over it so he couldn't spit the item back out. It tasted like bubble gum.
"Swallow it." Atem ordered glaring at him. Yugi trapped the object between his tongue and the roof of his mouth as he made a show of swallowing it.
"Good, now why did you jump?" Atem asked again grinning at him. Yugi spat the object back out at him. Atem wiped the yellow object off of his face, before glaring down at Yugi.
"Why are you making this so difficult?" Atem asked him.
"Why are you making it so complicated?" Yugi retorted.
"Here we go again." Yami sighed getting off of Yugi to sit on his desk chair.
"Why don't you ever back down?" Atem asked.
"You're the one who told me I should start standing up for myself." Yugi said back in a very cheeky voice.
"I didn't mean against me." Atem said.
"Oh, we humans have a name for that. It's called having double standards." Yugi said smirking at him.
"And we vampires have several names for what you're being right now. They're annoying, smart aleck, suicidal, trouble, stubborn, and beautiful." Atem shot right back. Yugi rolled his eyes at the last one. Then he did something Yugi really wasn't expecting, he kissed him, he hadn't done that in weeks.
At first Yugi froze at the contact, before he melted into it kissing him back, his hands reaching up to tangle into his hair. He heard the desk chair clatter to the ground, but since he didn't have his eyes open he was unaware with whatever it was that Yami was doing.
What are you doing?
Taking a risk and I have a hunch I was right.
What do you mean?
Why did you jump?
We always fight, we can never be in the same room for more than five minutes without fighting, we sleep in different beds, it's so cold all alone, I've cried myself to sleep most nights, and I just wanted the quickest way possible out of this misery. I'm not happy. His bottle broke, and all his emotions, the ones he'd been bottling up, came spilling out.
And there it is, the reason for his rash actions.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Yami asked in a frustrated voice. Yugi pushed away Atem so he could answer him; tears starting collect at the corners of his eyes.
"I tried, it just wouldn't come out, and besides, neither one of you wanted to listen. All you wanted to do was yell, which made me defensive and yell right back at you. I believe the only decent conversation we've had all month is the one where I was half asleep this morning when you called at who knows what ungodly hour it was." Yugi said back trying to keep himself from yelling at him. He knew he couldn't handle anymore screaming matches. He was at his breaking point, hence why he tried to commit suicide.
"It was nine, Yugi." Atem supplied trying not to smile. Yugi was silent for a moment.
"Yeah, like I said an ungodly hour." Yugi said back pressing his lips together and trying not to smile too. Yami and Atem let out a loose chuckle.
"Next time you're this unhappy, scream it at us, we'll listen." Yami assured.
Or I could jump again, that seems to gain your attention very quickly.
"No you can't. We made some adjustments to the home while you were sedated." Atem said sternly gaining Yugi's full attention.
"What kind of adjustments?" Yugi asked.
"Why don't you go find out?" Atem goaded pointing at the balcony.
With his suspicion and curiosity growing, Yugi crawled to the edge of the bed and slid off the end. Putting his hand in front of him, Yugi edged his way towards the balcony, vaguely being reminded of a blind person in the process. He leaned over the balcony, but didn't find anything at all within his grasping reach. Some adjustments, Yugi thought as he climbed over the railing and jumped off, only to hit something rubbery and bouncy nearly a foot down. It sent him back up to smack his head against the underside of the balcony.
"OW!" Yugi cried out as he went down and back up to repeat the outcome of before. He heard noises, after the second time of him smacking his head against the underside of the balcony, of concern. They peeked over the edge of the balcony just in time for Yugi to start seeing stars as he smacked his head a third time.
"Oh shit!" Yami cussed as he snagged the back of Yugi's shirt with his hand as he came back up for a fourth time. He pulled him back up over the railing to cradle him against his chest.
"I think you need to adjust your adjustments." Yugi said holding the back of his head in his hands as he curled up into a fetal position in his arms. His eyes were squeezed shut against the tears that wanted to spill from the pain he was feeling. It felt like someone had used him as a bouncy ball between a trampoline and a stone wall. Oh that was right, he had been!
"Well, I don't think you'll be jumping anymore, as we put this spell on this balcony, our balcony, and the tower. But come on, we need to see if you have a concussion." Atem said laughing slightly. He turned and started to walk away.
"Atem?" Yami called.
"Hmm." Atem said poking his head back outside.
"I can't stand up and hold him at the same time." Yami said bluntly.
"Oh, right." Atem muttered taking Yugi from him and placing him over his shoulder.
"Now why are you carrying him like that?" Yami asked following them.
"So he can hold his head." Atem stated as if it was obvious.
"No, no, no, you need to cradle the injured human in your arms." Yami said shaking his head and mimicking holding someone close.
"Why? It's his fault he's injured." Atem said back swinging Yugi around to look at Yami.
"No, I think it's ours because we designed it so he would come back up at an angle, we just assumed that he would come back up at the one we wanted." Yami said back looking at the ground.
"Do you ever pay attention in physics class?" Yugi moaned as Atem opened the door to Isis's chambers.
"Not really, we're too busy staring at you." Atem said casually setting Yugi down on the bed. The comment made him blush slightly, to which Atem and Yami smirked at.
"Isis!" Yami called out to the empty room. There was a clattering sound, some cussing, and quick movement before a door opened to reveal a disheveled Isis. One of the sleeves was falling down off her shoulder, and her skirt looked like it had been hastily zipped up and buttoned as one of them was in the wrong whole.
"Yes? Can I help you?" Isis asked shutting her door and fixing her sleeve.
"Is Martin here?" Yami asked his amusement growing.
"If you don't need me for anything, I would like to get back to what I was doing before." Isis said avoiding the question.
"Ah, no, actually, Yugi hit his head…three times." Yami said albeit reluctantly.
"You should ask them how." Yugi suggested in a mumble.
"I don't have a need to. I told them that their math was off, but does anyone listen to me? No, and this is the outcome!" Isis said heading back into her room and coming back out with a cup of some type of yellow liquid.
"Here, this will get rid of the pain, and this will get rid of whatever concussion you have. This is a new product that works half of the time. Our scientists are still working out the kinks." Isis said handing him a blue pill and then the cup of liquid.
Yugi took the pill and swallowed it dry, and then took the cup. He took a gulp of it and sprung up spitting it back out across the bed. It tasted worse than the icky blood replacer, and they were the most disgusting things on earth, too. Isis huffed at him grabbing the cup and coming back with it full again. She attempted to hand him the cup but he just put his hands behind his back, looking at it apprehensively.
"Help me." Isis said simply.
Atem grabbed his hands and held them down as Yami did the same with his legs. Molly was called into the room, and told to bring a funnel. With some difficulty they got it in his mouth, and Isis started to pour the liquid down his throat. Some of it touched his tongue on its way down tasting vile, and putrid. One of the kinks these vampire scientists needed to work out was the taste of their medicines.
"How fast does this work?" Atem asked as Yugi was released to gag on the awful taste that had penetrated his mouth by force.
"Um…the concussion is already gone. So, instantly." Isis said placing a hand against his forehead blinding Yugi slightly with a hot pink color.
"Oh come on, it didn't taste that bad." Yami said looking at Yugi as he continued to gag.
"Then let's pour some down your throat." Yugi said as he stopped gagging, and got up leaving the healing chambers. He was scooped up into Yami's arms seconds later.
"Oh no, who knows how it would affect my system." Yami said smirking.
"All the more reason to find out." Yugi grumbled with an underlining tone of good humor. Yugi looked up at him from his position in his arms. He looked back down at Yugi.
"What?" he asked. Atem had kissed him, so did that mean that kissing his mates was acceptable again? Only one way to test that theory. Yugi reached up and dragged him down so he could place his lips over his.
"Mm! Mmm…" Yami made a noise of surprise, before giving in and taking control of the kiss. He released his legs, letting them fall to the ground and pulled Yugi flush against him, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist.
"I thought I told you to take him back to the room, not make out with him in the middle of the hallway." Atem's voice said as he moved past him.
He kissed me, forgive me for enjoying it.
"We still need to move this party upstairs." Atem said not too far away from them.
No, I'm making out with my mate.
"What does that make me? Chopped liver?" Atem asked clearly offended.
Only if you want to be.
"Oh really?" Atem asked challengingly. Next second Yugi found himself pressed up against a wall.
"Yami!" Atem exclaimed disapprovingly.
Mine.
"Technically he's ours." Atem whispered and Yugi felt Yami shiver against him. Opening his eyes curiously, he saw Atem leaning up against Yami's backside, but he couldn't see what his hands were doing from this angle.
Mmm, Atem!
The sounds Yami was making in his head was turning Yugi on as he hitched his legs up around his waist to kiss him from a higher angle. His air was running out, so Yugi parted briefly with Yami and then reconnected their lips after tilting his head to the left, creating a whole new dimension for their make out session. Yami moaned into his mouth, and Yugi could only assume that it was from something Atem did as he really wasn't doing anything that was arousing. He felt fingers caress his neck, and since Yami's were cupping his behind, he could only assume it was Atem who was trying to get a rise out of him like he had from Yami.
Come on Yugi, grace us with your sweet sounds. We haven't heard them in so long.
Whose fault is that? Give me a reason to make one, and maybe I will.
I accept your challenge.
Not a challenge a game.
He felt a hand rub against his semi-hard erection, and he gasped letting loose a silent moan into Yami's mouth. Yami detached his lips from Yugi's and placed them at his throat. Yugi tilted his head back allowing him more access, while pressing his lips together in a thin line. Kami, it felt so good to have them sucking and nipping at his skin again. He already knew he was going to lose this game; they were just too good at what they did.
His sanity, reason, and will to win went out the window as he felt another pair of lips attach themselves to the right side of his throat, but higher than where Yami was making his mark on him. Yugi's breathing got heavier as his legs tightened around Yami, as a loud breathy moan slipped out past his lips.
Looks like the big King of Games lost one.
You…unfair…advantage.
Hmm, we'll give you that.
"Hey, while I'm happy, as is the rest of the Palace, that you've finally made up, could you not do it right outside my room?" Marik asked rudely from behind Yami. Yugi opened his eyes to look at him as he wrapped his arms around Yami's neck planting a small kiss onto the side of it.
"Alright, alright, we're moving." Atem said in a slightly annoyed voice. Yugi caught a glimpse of a grinning and texting Malik on his bed.
"Thank you, now to get back to eating dinner." Marik said closing the door. They rushed him up to their room.
"You know what we haven't had in a long time?" Yami asked sitting on the bed with Yugi.
"What?" Atem asked.
"A humorous side effect." Yami sighed.
"Thank Kami." Yugi whispered to the heavens as he wormed his way out of his grip.
"It's too bad we already discovered that bologna makes your hair deflate, that was amusing." Yami said raking a hand through Yugi's hair.
"Maybe for you, I didn't enjoy it the second time around. Everyone was calling me Princess." Yugi said pouting.
"Well, in any case, we need to get you some dinner." Atem said standing up and walking out.
"What was that yellow bubble gum tasting thing he tried to shove down my throat?" Yugi asked as soon as he was gone.
"A truth teller pill. The person who takes it has to tell the truth for three hours or longer depending on how long the interrogation is." Yami said.
"It's a part of my inheritance." Yugi said randomly.
"Huh?" Yami asked confused.
"I receive $250 a month until I turn 18 when I have full access to the account and properties that my parents left me." Yugi said in a resigned voice.
"Yugi that's $3000 a year." Yami said looking at him with wide eyes.
"What is?" Atem asked coming into the room.
"It's really not that much money coming from the account. It's like wiping your finger over a dusty surface and coming up with a thin layer of dust." Yugi said explaining it as simply as he could.
"Are we talking about where he gets his money from?" Atem asked.
"Yes, but if you only receive $250 a month, how were you able to pay for that dress?" Yami asked like he'd seen the flaw in Yugi's story.
Yugi sighed and climbed over him. Walking into his closet he pushed aside some of his clothes and peeled back some of the wallpaper. He took a small box out of the wall and put the wallpaper back in place before coming back out with the box. He shoved the box into Yami's hands, and motioned to it. Yami frowned before opening it to reveal a large wad of cash.
"That's nearly ten years worth of savings. I don't use all $3000 a year, so spending big when it matters most is easy for me." Yugi said shrugging and taking the box back. He walked back into the closet and placed it back in its hiding spot.
"Yugi, just how wealthy were your parents?" Atem asked as he sat down on the bed.
"Well, they had 17 estates, three yachts, six cars, 90 game franchises around the world, and more money than you can possibly imagine." Yugi said shrugging.
"Is that it?" Atem asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, when Mommy and Dad died Uncle Phillip took over Dad's franchises. Now there are 106 worldwide. Dad gave Grandpa $5,000,000 as well as eight estates which he sold. He gave Sakura all the cars, a yacht, half of his money, and five estates. He gave me two yachts, half of his money and four estates. Sakura donated three of her estates to the Organization, sold four of the six cars, and her yacht too. When I turn 18 I'll probably sell one yacht, and two estates." Yugi explained.
"You'd really sell your Father's hard work like that? As if it didn't have any meaning at all whatsoever to you?" Atem asked in disbelief.
"Well, I don't need the Malibu Condo or Caribbean Bungalow. I really just want the Beach House and Cabin. And what am I going to do with two yachts?" Yugi said and asked. Their jaws dropped at him.
"What?" he asked walking over to his desk and starting to eat the food on it.
"You can go to these exotic places and you don't?" Yami asked.
"I don't have access to them until I turn 18." Yugi said shrugging.
"And when you turn 18 you're just going to give them up?" Atem asked.
"You guys are making it seem like a crime to sell one's own property." Yugi grumbled as he popped some green grapes into his mouth, before taking a bite of his hamburger.
"Well, with destinations like that, it should be." Yami said.
Yugi didn't respond, and it wasn't because he didn't want to, it was because he couldn't. His mouth wouldn't open. His arms dropped lifeless to his sides. Yugi stood up, only to fall flat on his face as his legs gave way. He couldn't move a single muscle in his body besides his eyes which flashed from side to side in fear. He couldn't even feel his body; it was like all physical feelings were gone. Oh, he would have killed for this when Sarugaki had stabbed him.
"Yugi?" Yami asked. Atem flipped him over, and picked up one of his hands, and watched as it fell lifelessly to his side. Yugi tried to reach out with the mind link, but he might as well have been trying to catch smoke in his bare hands for all the effort he was putting into it and coming up with nothing.
"Yugi, say something, you're scaring us." Atem said. Scare, that gave Yugi an idea. He closed his eyes and focused on the emotions of confusion, helplessness, and fear, and tried to propel them to his mates. Opening his eyes, it seemed to have worked, as Atem had lifted him up in his arms and was holding him close.
"Come on; let's get you to Isis, because as strong as you were probably trying to make those emotions Yugi, we only received faint traces of them." Atem said brushing his bangs aside. That scared Yugi even more; he had no way of communicating with them.
"Calm down, Yugi, we'll get this sorted out." Yami said as he trailed behind Atem. They were moving at vampire speed and he was starting to become dizzy.
"Isis!" Atem yelled bursting into the infirmary.
"What's happened now?" Isis asked rushing out of her study.
"Fix him." Atem said holding Yugi out to her.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with him." Isis said barely looking at him.
"Excuse me?" Yami asked in incredulous disbelief.
"He just has paralysis; it'll be gone in 30 minutes. Oh, and either green grapes or green apples did it, it's the only two foods that can. The good news is though, it's either one or the other, it's never both. Oh, and after it passes he'll fall asleep for two hours before waking up completely refreshed. Back to your room." Isis said waving them off and returning to her study.
"And how many other humans have had this?" Atem asked pulling Yugi back against his chest.
"Six, Yugi is the seventh to be brought to me with this." Isis said shutting her door.
"Huh, well, no more green grapes for you it seems." Yami said looking down at Yugi.
"So he'll be like this for 30 minutes huh? And his mind link is on the fritz too, so he can't really hear our thoughts right now, Yami." Atem said grinning up over at him.
"I like that idea, I'll go see if I can borrow one from someone." Yami said grinning back and walking off. Yugi's eyes flashed between them so fast, it was a wonder he wasn't dizzy yet.
"This is gonna be fun." Atem said smiling down at Yugi in way that made him very wary of the man right now. Atem turned and used his vampire speed to appear at the door to their room in only 45 seconds. Poor Yugi, all he saw was a flash of color before it stopped abruptly into stillness. He closed his eyes against the wave of dizziness flowing through him.
"Are you sleeping, Yugi?" Atem asked. He opened his eyes briefly before closing them again.
"Good, you're not going to want to miss what we have in store for your immobile state." Atem said as he placed him on the bed.
Paralyzed, its paralyzed state. Yugi thought slightly annoyed, even though he knew they couldn't hear him.
"I got it!" Yami practically sang coming into the room.
"Good, now go get those certain…outfits." Atem said starting to undress him. Yugi's eyes snapped open at both of their statements, his apprehension growing.
Once he was undressed, Atem looked over to where Yami had disappeared in his closet, and Yami threw something at him. Atem caught the object, and one flash later, that made him blink in surprise, he discovered the object to be a camera. His apprehension turned into annoyance instantly, they were planning on using him as a lifeless model for their fantasies. Vampires.
"Alright, which one should we do first?" Yami asked.
"Officer." Atem said taking it from him.
They redressed Yugi, and tried to pose him leaning up against the bed's post. Unfortunately, because he was paralyzed, and therefore couldn't move let alone stand he kept sliding to the ground. So Yami was forced to stand behind him and hold up him and his arms crossed across his chest. He released him and allowed him to slide to the ground again.
"It looks as if this is going to be harder than we originally thought." Atem said frowning.
"Maybe bed poses?" Yami suggested as he picked him up.
"Yeah, I think we might have to stick with those." Atem said nodding as Yami placed him on the bed.
After trying to pose him two more times and still coming up unsuccessful, unless one of them were in the background holding up some part of him, they gave up and switched to a different outfit. Next Yugi was forced into the harem outfit. This one was more interesting as they tied him down twice, using different ways for each. They took off the chains next and placed his hands slightly curled up on either side of his face. He was starting to get drowsy at this point, making them glance at the clock.
Frowning, they quickly changed his outfit to the purple lingerie. The lingerie consisted of a thong, and a see through top, it left nothing to imagination at all. They propped him back up against the pillows and tipped his head until it fell backwards instead of forwards. They placed his hands on his belly, and spread his legs. Yugi wasn't really sure what happened after that, because he fell asleep at that point to a bright flash of light.
[Time skip]
Yugi woke up to find himself still in the purple lingerie and Atem and Yami sleeping on either side of him. They were sleeping with him again, aww, he felt cared for. Still, they needed to be punished for making him their dress up doll. Without moving Yugi took a deep breath, opened his mouth and promptly screamed. Both Atem and Yami jumped to attention as they were jolted awake in one of the rudest ways possible.
"What's wrong?" Atem asked his hands moving over him a like worried Mother's.
"I thought I saw a spider, but it was only a shadow." Yugi said shrugging as he climbed over Atem so he could use the bathroom.
"I think he did that on purpose." Yami observed making Yugi snort in mirth.
"No." Atem asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, I think he did." Yami said not catching onto Atem's tone. Yugi came back out of the bathroom as Atem leaned his forehead against Yami's looking at him with pure love for the man in his eyes.
"Oh Yami, I love you, so much." Atem said pressing a gentle kiss to his lips.
W-what did I do?
Something that is so you.
That is not an answer.
"You know, what you two did to me while I was paralyzed wasn't very nice. I think I need compensation for being your dress up doll." Yugi said as he sat down in his desk chair looking at them. He was going to finish his meal, but it wasn't there anymore.
"Oh really?" Atem asked breaking away from Yami to look over at him.
"Yes." Yugi said nodding once.
"And what do you want?" Yami asked.
"I can have anything?" Yugi asked.
"Anything within reason." Atem said.
"Well, there goes that idea." Yugi joked.
"There goes what idea?" Atem asked with narrowed eyes.
"I got it!" Yugi said snapping his fingers whilst ignoring Atem's question.
"Okay, what do you want?" Yami asked warily.
"Memories, pacifically yours and Atem's. I haven't had a memory dream in over a month, it's highly depressing. Your dreams are way better than mine." Yugi said excitedly his eyes lighting up with anticipation.
"I can agree to that, especially your dreams of us in different costumes that strip us of our masculinity." Atem grumbled.
"But you looked really cute as baby sea turtles." Yugi said grinning. Yami pinched the bridge of his nose as he shook his head.
"Ce'mere Yugi." Atem said calling him to him with a single finger. Yugi bit his lip as he debated whether he should or not. Knowing them they'd probably try to distract him from his request with something like sex or what not. Which would be enjoyable, but it wasn't what he had asked for either.
"Yugi, come here." Atem repeated himself grinning. He looked down before back up at him, and climbed off of the desk chair. He walked over to the edge of the bed and slid onto it just enough to be on it, but far enough away from his mates that they would have to lean over to grab him.
"Come on Yugi, we're not going to bite you." Yami said reaching out for him. Yugi shot off the bed, and hovered by the balcony doors.
"You're right about that. You won't be biting me tomorrow morning for sure. I might let you eat tomorrow night if you're good, but you defiantly won't be partaking of my blood tomorrow morning." Yugi said nodding in agreement.
"Oh really? And what exactly did we do to cause such a punishment?" Atem asked resting his chin on his hand.
"Nothing, but tomorrow is Halloween, and the guys and I are going haunted housing. I can't go haunted housing with them if I'm stuck in bed all day from blood loss, now can I?" Yugi explained.
"What's wrong with eating tonight instead then?" Yami asked smirking.
"It's not Sunday." Yugi said frowning.
"Eating only on Sundays is a formality, not something that's set in stone. Eating once a week is set in stone, but not the day we eat on." Atem said slinking off the bed.
"Um, okay, but I think my blood will taste even better if it is drunk tomorrow night, don't you?" Yugi asked backing away from him.
"Not really, I think it will still taste the same." Atem said approaching him.
"Ah, but I really think it will taste better Sunday night, because then you would have been looking forward to it all day. Can you see where I'm coming from with this?" Yugi asked nervously as he backed up into the railing.
"Not really, all I hear is that you're going to starve us for most of the day so you don't have to give up your plans." Atem said placing his hands on either side of Yugi and nuzzling the right side of his neck with his nose.
"What's wrong with that?" Yugi squeaked as Atem picked him up and carrying him to the bed.
"I can think of several things." Atem said placing him in the middle of the bed.
"But I have to be up by no later than nine tomorrow." Yugi complained as Yami took off his collar and threw it in a random direction.
"Okay." Yami said before biting into the left side of his neck.
"No fair." Yugi pouted.
"How is this no fair?" Atem asked brushing his bangs aside.
"Because I planned on depriving you and you had to go and ruin my plans." Yugi said crossing his arms. He would have turned his head away but Yami was eating, and he wasn't sure what movement would do to the feeding.
"You'll get over it I'm sure." Atem said as Yami pulled out and sealed him. Yugi turned his head away from him, blocking his right side from access.
"Oh come on, don't be like that, Yugi." Atem said tapping his chin softly trying to get him to turn his head back. Yami snickered at him as he left the room.
"Tell you what; if you give me some blood I'll give you some memories." Atem whispered in his ear.
"Really?" Yugi asked whipping his head back to look at him. Atem took immediate advantage and plunged his fangs into the side of his neck.
Really.
"Kay." Yugi said. Yami came back and handed a bowl of soup over to Yugi who took it graciously.
Yugi devoured the food and had a vague impression of him handing it to Atem upside down as his eyes slid closed. He barely registered his head hitting the pillow as he keeled over. His ears picked up noises of someone fighting, and he thought he mumbled for them to stop but he couldn't be sure.
They were in a bed chamber. Dark blue silk and satin was layered on the bed, light green gossamer curtains hung from the bed frame and balcony doors. Yami was tiptoeing across the sandstone floor, crimson eyes were watching in amusement from the bed.
"Yami." Atem said quietly making the small boy jump with his hand on the handle of the door.
"Y-yes, Pharaoh?" Yami asked.
"Fetch me a girl to drink from." Atem said smirking.
"Yes, Pharaoh." Yami said relaxing.
"We'll talk about what you were up to later."Atem said his smirk growing as Yami tensed back up as he slipped through the doors.
It was quiet in the room as Yugi moved about the room looking at everything. Oh, his Grandpa was going to be so jealous. He was in an authentic Egyptian room, and all his Grandpa had seen were the ruins of such places. Yugi turned around to find Atem leaning against the wall behind his bed staring at him with his arms crossed against his chest. Or maybe he was staring outside, so Yugi moved three steps to the left and out of the doorway of the balcony. Looking back up, he saw that Atem's eyes had followed him. Nope, he was definitely staring at him.
"Th-there weren't any my Pharaoh so I brought cows blood instead." Yami said slipping back in and facing away from Atem, handing him the tray with a bag of blood on it. There was also a golden cup, on the plate for him to pour the blood into.
"Is that so?" Atem asked his voice cold as he stared at Yami.
"Yes." Yami said nodding.
"Then why do I smell human blood on you?" Atem asked his eyes becoming slits as he stared his servant down.
"C-cut my finger. I'll go take care of it!" Yami said briefly showing him a finger that was barely dripping with a red substance as he shot past Atem and into the bathroom. Atem blinked, before opening the bag of blood and downing it contents.
"There, a-all better!" Yami said coming out of the bathroom with some cloth wrapped round his finger. He was still looking at the ground though, not only that, but his head was angled away slightly away from Atem.
"Change your shenti." Atem said looking at the spot where Yami had ripped some off to wrap his finger up.
"Right." Yami said whipping around to go to his room just as Yugi was leaning down to see what he was hiding on the right side of his face. In his absence Atem put on a golden collar that hung by his collarbones, golden armbands, leg bands, and bracelets, sandals, a shenti, a cape and a crown that rested over his forehead. Yami came back into the room glancing at Atem, surprise reading across his face briefly before he was staring at the floor again.
"Let's go." Atem said simply his nose twitching slightly sniffing at the air before turning and walking out. Yami ran catching up, but every time Atem looked back at him he was staring at the floor, his face angled away from him.
"When we get into the throne room I expect you so sit down on the pillow without protest." Atem said.
"Yes, Pharaoh." Yami said making Atem smirk. Apparently that was normal. They walked into the throne room and Yami sat down on the pillow as he had been told to. The smirk slipped off of Atem's face, apparently that was not.
"You're sitting on it." Atem said surprise heavy in his voice.
"You told me to." Yami said looking away.
"Yeah, but you never do. I have to threaten you just to get you on it every day. What's wrong, Yami?" Atem asked his eyes narrowing at him.
"It is a shame indeed what happened to that Mother's nine year old." Mahad's voice said coming into the throne room.
"To lose one so young, she should have come to me when it started, I probably could have saved her." Isis said back.
"What's going on?" Atem asked.
"Oh, one of the blood giving girl's daughter passed away last night, so all the blood givers went to the outskirts of the city to bury her." Seth said coming into the room.
"Oh, I see." Atem said placing his chin on his fist and looking down at Yami. His head was obviously turned away from him.
"A complete waste if you ask me, they should have just dumped her in the Nile and be done with it. Not starve the Palace staff just so they could give her a proper burial." Aknadin grumbled coming into the room.
"Enough! As soon as Shada, Karim, and advisor Shimon arrive we will begin this meeting." Atem said putting an end to a fight before it began. They nodded their ascent and took their seats as Atem looked back down at Yami.
"Now, you haven't told me what's wrong yet." Atem said quietly.
"Nothing Pharaoh." Yami mumbled. Atem frowned before reaching down to turn his head towards him.
"Pharaoh, we're ready to begin now." Seth called from the table below. Atem paused to look at him before looking back to Yami and retracting his hand to rest upon the armrest of his chair.
"Very well, begin." He said with a wave of his hand.
"Right, the first order of business…" Seth started as Atem half tuned him out to look at Yami.
"Tell me little servant, what is wrong?" Atem asked quietly of Yami.
"Nothing." Yami said not even glancing at him. Atem sighed and reached out for his chin again.
"Pharaoh! Are you even listening?" Seth asked interrupting his hand motion yet again.
"Yes, you said that Lower Egypt's floods have arrived on time so we do not need to share our own stores of grain with them this year." Atem said curling his hand into a fist and drawing it back to his side looking down at Seth with annoyance. If he didn't know any better he would say that Seth was doing this on purpose.
Atem looked back down towards his servant. He wasn't even glancing at him like he usually did. It was like their own personal game that no one else understood. Yami would glance at him and Atem would stare back, counting how many times he caught Yami's eyes on him. So far the count was zero; it should have been at five, at the very least. Atem reached down and hooked two fingers on his chin, but when he tried to turn his head towards him he was met with a lot of pressure.
"Yami, look at me." Atem said quietly.
"No." was his own quiet response.
"I said look at me." Atem said more sternly.
"No." Yami repeated slightly stronger.
"Look at me servant." Atem ordered drawing the attention of his council.
"No." Yami whined slightly placing his hands over his ears.
"I said look at me! That's an order!" Atem said jumping from his chair. On the one hand, he was kind of proud of Yami for showing resistance to him at last, but on the other something was wrong and he needed to know what it was. Yami shook his head and started to shake.
"Look at me now, or you will be punished later." Atem growled at him. Yugi got down on his hands and knees to see what it was Yami was hiding so persistently from Atem. He gasped at what he saw, and wondered why someone would even do that to someone like Yami. It was sickening.
"Anything would be better than facing you right now." Yami whispered. Atem's eyes became lit with a hidden fire of anger as he snapped his fingers and a guard was instantly by his side.
"Take him back to my chambers where I will personally punish him later." Atem said quietly as Yami shook with his growing fear.
"Yes, Pharaoh." The guard said bowing before grasping Yami by the upper arm and dragging him out. Yami didn't even glance in Atem's direction. He never took his eyes off the ground once.
Atem watched him be dragged out, before sitting back in his throne with a heavy sigh. Looking down at his council, he saw many of them looking worried, one look confused, and the last looking smug. It was the smug look on Aknadin's face that worried him the most though.
"Right, as I was saying the next order of this meeting is-" Seth continued.
"Is to adjourn it now." Atem said getting up.
"But we still have several orders of business." Seth complained.
"We'll deal with them tomorrow!" Atem yelled as he threw open the doors to his own throne room and marched through the hallways back to his own room. On his way there he passed the throne room guard on his way back to the throne room. Their eyes shown with disgust as he passed him, briefly daring to look their Pharaoh in the eye, just before they passed him. Atem picked up his pace using vampire speed to appear at the doors to his chambers in less than 15 seconds. The guards opened the doors to his room, they too looked disgusted, their lips curled in disdain. Ra, it had only been a year, and already Yami was a soft spot for so many in the Palace.
Atem stepped inside to find the side of Yami he wanted to see already facing him. However, as soon as Yami recognized Atem as the one entering he quickly turned so his left side was facing him. In those few moments though, Atem had seen a double jagged line running from the corner of his eye to the edge of his chin.
In seconds Atem had grabbed him, pinned him to his bed, and forced his head to the left. They weren't jagged; they were straight and parallel with each other. They did run from the corner of his eye to the curve of his chin though. Atem sat on top of him wondering who would have the gall, the courage, to touch what was so rightfully his in such a violent way.
"Yami, who did this?" Atem asked. Yami began to shake under him as tears spilled from his eyes running like the Nile River down his face.
"Don't make me ask again." Atem growled in his ear.
"Don't k-know." Yami whispered. The words rang with pure truth; Yami didn't know the person who did this to him.
"Did you see them?" Atem asked. Yami was silent as he squeezed his eyes shut tighter.
"Did you see them?" Atem asked again tightening his hands around Yami's wrists.
"B-barely." Yami whimpered as Atem loosened his hold.
"What did you see?" Atem asked letting go of his wrists altogether so he could trace one of the marks on Yami's face. Yami flinched at the touch as he answered the question.
"An angry voice, scrolls, and a white pointy beard and mustache." Yami said without stuttering. Atem chuckled slightly at his answer as he looked with regret at the marks on Yami's face.
"Yami, is it alright if I try something to make these marks of yours disappear?" Atem asked tracing a pulsing vein on his neck.
"You can do that?" Yami asked opening his eyes to look into Atem's with wonder.
"Only with your permission first." Atem said.
"Yes." Yami said nodding his head frantically.
"Alright, relax, I need you to relax for me. I don't want to hurt you."Atem said as his eyes zeroed in on the vein in Yami's neck.
"Okay." Yami said excitedly as he relaxed under Atem. Atem leaned forward and bit into him, making Yami gasp with surprise. Atem drank one gulp of blood from him before pulling out and sealing him up. Next he ran his tongue from the curve of Yami's chin to the corner of his eye. When he pulled away Yami was wearing an expression of 'ewww'.
"I thought you liked causing pain." Yami said quietly as Atem climbed off of him.
"You're just a child Yami; I don't inflict unnecessary pain on children." Atem said sighing.
Yami nodded and only just seemed to realize that he was looking at Atem because he quickly looked away. Atem smiled a soft sad smile, before placing one of his blankets over him. Yami turned questioning eyes on him, but Atem simply lay down next to him, reaching out to run the back of his hand against his now smooth cheek.
The scene shifted to Yami and Atem scaling the side of his house. Like it was a ladder or something. They jumped lightly onto his roof and looked in through his skylight to see him doing his homework. It made Yugi wonder if this was the next day after they had discovered where he had lived.
"Well, finding his room was easier than we thought it was going to be." Atem commented.
"Easy access." Yami said tapping the glass slightly by mistake. Yugi's eyes snapped up to the window as Atem and Yami sprung out of view.
"…have a therapy session today, let's go!" Grandpa's voice said.
"Do I have to?" Yugi asked.
"It's your last one, so yes, you have to." Grandpa said.
"Alright." He said reluctantly.
"What are you looking at?" Grandpa asked.
"I thought I heard…never mind, it must have been a loose branch or something." Yugi said brushing it off.
"Well come on, let's go!" Grandpa encouraged.
"You know it still amazes me what a guilty conscious will do to a-" Yugi's words were cut off as he shut the door to his room.
"Are we missing something?" Yami asked looking across the roof at Atem.
"I'm starting to get that feeling too." Atem said frowning.
"Well, if I'm good she said I didn't have to come anymore after this." Yugi said as he waited for his Grandpa to unlock the small car.
"Well whatever she has been doing for the past four months has clearly been working. You're almost like your old self again." Grandpa said.
"I will never be like my old self again, S-" Yugi's words were cut off as he climbed in the car and shut the door. The truck backed out of the driveway and sped down the road.
"S? That's all we're getting? Is an S? Ugh, let's see if Seth or Mahad have ever come across someone like a cuter version of us." Yami said.
"No, you said you didn't want anyone to know that we were hunting for a human. Besides the odds that they have are very slim."Atem said back placing a hand on his arm.
"But we're missing something huge here, Atem, I can feel it." Yami argued.
"So can I, but it's probably just like a loss of a family member or something similar to it. It couldn't have had that big of an impact on his life if he's only had four months of therapy." Atem said brushing it off like it was nothing.
"I guess you could be right." Yami said uneasily.
"Come on Habibi, let's go home and start planning out how we're going to grab him." Atem said holding out his hand.
"Okay, Lover, let's do it." Yami said grinning and taking his hand.
Yugi had a sudden impression of a hand pushing against his chest and shoving him backwards. He stumbled back and found himself back in the Egyptian Palace. Cool, he was getting more than two memoires. Oh, this was so sweet!
Yugi watched as Atem came out of the double doors across from where he was standing. He sighed and rubbed his forehead, his hand dragging down his face. He turned to walk away when a scream erupted from behind him as well as the sound of bare feet running on sandstone. Both Yugi and Atem turned towards it.
"PHARAOH!"
"Whoa, what's wrong with you?" Atem asked as a teary and wide eyed Yami barreled into him. Yugi recognized that he was younger here than he had been in the last memory. He looked ten, and very scared.
"He's chasing me!" Yami cried hiding his face in Atem's stomach.
"Who is?" Atem asked awkwardly rubbing his back. Atem had an odd look on his face, kind of like he was in pain or something. Yugi laughed slightly, this must have been the first time he had ever held Yami.
"There you are, buddy!"
The voice made Yugi's head snap towards it and his eyes to widen upon discovering that the voice did belong to whom he thought it did. This was impossible though, he couldn't be here. However, it would explain a few things. It would explain why Seth-. Seth…he was here and if a version of his friend was here too, what was to say that they hadn't had a thing here in the past? Kaiba looked just like him, and if the attraction was still there, re-born even, then it would explain why he would…oh, poor Jou, his triangle was more twisted than even he thought it to be.
"Slow down Jono, you're scaring my servant." Atem said holding up his hand as Yami squeaked and hid behind Atem.
"But I just want to play!" Jono cried. He looked exactly like Jou had when he was 12 years of age.
"I understand that, but Yami doesn't." Atem said as he slowly drew Yami out from behind him and placed him in front of him.
"What's play?" Yami asked frowning.
"Playtime is where you have fun!" Jono said spreading his arms wide.
"What's fun?" Yami asked looking up at Atem before realizing what he was doing and looking back down at the ground. Atem frowned and lifted his chin.
"You don't know how to have fun?" Atem asked. Yami shook his head not looking Atem in the eye.
"Jono will show you how to have fun, go with him." Atem said nudging Yami towards the other boy.
"Come on, I'm not a vampire, so I don't bite." Jono said holding out his hand for Yami to grab. He grinned taking it and the two walked off.
The colors around Yugi swirled and twirled around him. It felt like he was in the eye of a hurricane. In the middle of the vortex, but far from being safe from harm. It suddenly stilled and Yugi found himself sitting on the edge of a bathtub. Yami was much older here; he looked like he was 15, maybe 16 years of age.
"Come on Yami, just reach a little further out and I'm sure you'll be able to reach." Atem said as Yami was holding onto the edge of the tub with one hand and reaching out with a cloth in the other towards Atem's back and shoulders.
SPLASH!
"Oh you fell in, that's too bad." Atem said like he didn't think it was too bad at all, as Yami resurfaced, glaring at Atem. It seemed he had gotten over his aversion of looking the Pharaoh in the eye. Yami spat a stream of water at him.
"That's not very nice." Atem said holding up his hand blocking the jet of water from reaching its target.
"I'm changing." Yami said getting up.
"I'll just get that shenti wet too. Then you'll only have one left, oh dear, what will you do then?" Atem said and asked casually as he looked at his nails.
Yami unhooked his leg from its motion of getting out of the tub, and put it back into the water. He slid down into the water, until his butt hit the bottom of the tub, his back planted firmly against the wall, as far from Atem as he could get. Atem smirked and motioned for him to come closer. Sighing, Yami got on his knees and slowly made his way over. As soon as he was close enough, Atem grabbed him and pulled him into this lap. Yami looked away from him, he must be used to it.
"So, you turned 16 today, you know what that means right?" Atem asked smiling as he undid Yami's shenti under the water.
"That you're going to put me in your harem?" Yami guessed.
"No." Atem responded as he pulled the shenti out from underneath Yami and threw it over the side of the tub.
"You're going to bed me?" Yami guessed again.
"No." Atem said as Yami shifted in his lap.
"Then what does it mean?" Yami asked crossing his arms.
"You're old enough to kiss." Atem said rubbing the pad of his thumb along Yami's bottom lip.
"Okay, but over half of your-" Yami started to complain before Atem removed his thumb and replaced it with his lips.
Yami looked shocked and didn't respond at first. It seemed that Atem was very patient though, as he continued to kiss Yami, his unresponsive subject. Yami's eyes slid closed, as he started to kiss Atem back. Atem smirked against his lips, before his tongue darted out to swipe against his bottom lip. Yami gasped and Atem took the opportunity to plunge his tongue into the moist cavern. Yugi slipped into the tub to get a better angle of the hot and steamy action, as Atem stood up, with Yami still in his arms.
He walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, with Yugi scrambling after them. He vaguely noticed that he wasn't wet, nor that he had disturbed the water in his mad scramble, but then again he really wasn't here either. He climbed onto the other side of the bed as Atem wrapped his hand around Yami's cock, pumping it.
"Mmm, Pharaoh." Yami moaned as he pulled away from the kiss.
"I've already told you, my name is Atem, please use it." Atem begged.
"Dis-disrespectful." Yami stuttered. Atem sighed and let go of him climbing off and walking towards the balcony.
"A-A-Atem? Please finish what you started." Yami begged lifting himself up on his elbows to look at the vampire. Atem stopped to look back at him, before leaning against the wall and folding his arms across his chest.
"Only if you can say my name without stuttering and look me in the eye while saying it." Atem bargained smirking. Yami pouted slightly, looking away, before taking a deep breath and looking back at him, square in the eyes.
"Atem." Yami said firmly.
"Good, now scream that word for me." Atem said suddenly hovering over Yami as he re-wrapped his hand around his cock.
Atem leaned down and planted soft kisses along his shoulders and collar bones. He slowly worked his way down Yami's body to where his hand was wrapped around his cock. Atem removed his hand, earning a small whimper from Yami. Atem just smirked though, as he placed the nearly hard cock into his mouth.
Yami cried out jerking his hips up. Atem gagged slightly, before placing his hands on his hips, preventing him from doing it again. Atem sucked hard on the cock and Yugi felt his own growing hard just from watching.
"Ph-Atem!" Yami screamed as he came.
"Good boy." Atem said after he slipped Yami out of his mouth looking down at him.
Yami grabbed his shoulders and dragged him down into a rough kiss. He rolled them so he was on top, their erections rubbing together slightly. Atem growled at Yami, but he didn't seem to care as he ground their erections together. Atem let out a deep moan, before rolling them back over and pulling away. Yami was breathing heavily.
"No Yami, we're not having sex." Atem said.
"I'm old enough!" Yami spat at him.
"I said no." Atem said sternly.
Yugi moaned in disappointment. Yami sighed in disappointment too, and looked away. Atem however looked over to Yugi, and smirked at him.
"Are you getting off on watching us, Yugi?" Atem asked a shiver trailing down Yugi's body, though he wasn't sure as to why.
"How can I not? You're both so hot in bed." Yugi responded Yami turned his head towards Yugi and smirked too.
"I see, it's a pity we can't take care of that for you. After all, this is just a memory, which right now we're tampering with slightly." Yami said frowning.
"It's a very hot memory." Yugi said starting to pant slightly, again unaware as to why that was.
"Is that so?" Atem asked climbing off of Yami, and approaching him.
"YES!" Yugi cried out.
His eyes snapped open as he came in real life. Atem was smirking as he slipped Yugi out of his mouth. His pants and boxers were hanging out around his ankles, and his shirt was open exposing his chest which Yami was taking advantage of by sucking on one of his nipples. Atem moved up the bed to kiss him. Yugi kicked off his pants and boxers so he could wrap his legs around Atem's waist before flipping them over. Unfortunately this had two effects, one it took Yami's hot mouth from his nipple, and Yugi had accidentally rolled them onto the floor unaware that they were so close to the edge. Plus, the sudden movement left him feeling light headed.
"Well, that wasn't very nice." Yami said reaching down and pulling him back up onto the bed.
"What time is it?" Yugi asked.
"It's nearly three am." Atem answered getting back up on the bed.
"What? I'm going back to sleep." Yugi said as he slipped back under the covers.
"Oh come on, Yugi, play with us a little longer." Yami said kissing his cheek.
"Okay." Yugi said shrugging and turning to kiss him.
"Mmm." Yami moaned in approval, as he kissed Yugi back.
Two minutes was all it took for Yugi to fall asleep on them. For Yami to discover that he was kissing a deadweight, that wasn't kissing back. Yami pulled away, shaking his head, and kissing Yugi's forehead, as he pulled the blankets up to his chin.
Yami sat leaning against the throne, his entire body tense. They kept jumping around in time; Yami looked like he was 13 or 14 years of age this time. Before Atem were two visiting dignitaries from a different country and both of them were vampires. It was the way that they were glancing at Yami though that probably had him tense, Yugi would be too if he was being looked at like that. They were looking at him like he was a meal, and a piece of ass to have.
"…and what about company for the night?" one of the vampires asked.
"I have a public harem for that." Atem said his voice sounding as hard as granite.
"Is he a part of it?" the other vampire asked nodding to Yami. He hid his face into the side of the throne.
"No, he's my personal servant. All personal servants only attend to those that they serve under. The punishment is severe for the servant who disobeys this rule willingly." Atem said his hands curling into fists on his throne.
"What a pity that is." The first vampire commented.
"A slave will show you to your quarters for the duration of your stay here." Atem said snapping his fingers, a slave appearing at his elbow head bowed.
"Take them to the eastern wing of the Palace." Atem told the slave who nodded and stepped forwards.
"This way, sirs." They said bowing before walking away.
"We look forward to doing business with you, Pharaoh." The vampires said bowing before following the slave out.
As soon as they were gone Atem sighed, before looking down at Yami who was shaking in fear. Atem reached down and grabbed his hand, pulling him up into a standing position. He drew Yami into his lap and just held him, Yami stiffening at what appeared to be unfamiliar contact. Yami squirmed after a minute and Atem let him go. Yami quickly slid off his lap and back onto his pillow. Atem sighed leaning his head back against the throne, before getting up.
"Come along Yami, we shall retire for the night." Atem said starting to walk out before reaching back and grasping Yami's hand instead, pulling him alongside of him. Yami stumbled into the new position, glancing up at Atem, before looking back down at his feet.
The memory dream faded out, and soon morphed into one of Yugi's own. His mates were dressed in maid costumes as they cleaned the room. Yugi was in a tree snapping pictures of them through the balcony door. It was a wonder, with their good hearing, that they didn't hear the little clicks of the camera every time a picture was taken. He wasn't dreaming this for long though, as he was roughly shaken, waking him up.
"Honestly Yugi, you have the worst dreams." Atem said falling back asleep. Yugi not too far behind as he started to dream of them dressed as baby sea turtles again.
See? All better! And now that we're on good terms again, I have a request. I'm stuck on a later chapter and need some suggestions.
