Chill people, I lost my flash drive, and by the time I found it, it was time to get ready for work. Eight hours of waiting won't kill you...I hope. Anyway, I do not own Yugioh, Who let the dogs out by The Baha Men, or Cotton eyed Joe by Rednex, enjoy! [YUGI, YAMI, and ATEM]
Chapter 25
"Let it go, Yugi, let it go." Atem said over and over again as he held him.
"It hurts, it hurts." Yugi cried as he held his head and rocked back and forth.
"I know, I know, but you need to let it go." Atem stressed.
"Let what go? I don't even know what I'm holding on to." Yugi cried as the pain started to lessen slightly.
"That's it Yugi, just let it go." Atem said as Yami came back into the room with Isis on his heels. Isis took one look at him before her shoulders slumped, her face taking on one emotion of misery.
"There's nothing I can do. He needs to fight this off himself." she said raising her hands and letting them fall back to her sides.
"But…he's in pain." Yami argued looking helplessly at Yugi. He had stopped screaming, but he was still crying into Atem's already tear soaked shirt.
"His pain is his own." Isis said wrapping her arms around herself.
"But…" Yami continued to protest.
"There is nothing I can do for him, I'm sorry, Yami." Isis said cupping his face in her hands. He looked down at the ground and Isis let go of his face. Yami slid onto the bed and held Yugi from behind.
The pain in Yugi's head slowly faded until it was a microscopic spec. That tiny bit of pain stayed there, no matter how much he willed it away. He felt Atem prodding at his mind gently, trying to get him to release that last bit of pain. Finally it disappeared, fading from his mind like a bad dream. A bad dream, or maybe a bad memory. Clearly his mind was hiding something from him, something it didn't want him remembering. Yugi had a sick feeling that after Yami snapped his fingers was where his missing memory began. It was probably for the best that he didn't remember it, though he wondered from time to time what had happened.
Yugi's tears slowly stopped, until he was just sniffing at the last remains of his crying. He slowly raised his head from Atem's chest to look up at the man. Atem cupped his face in his hands.
"Feel better?" He asked rubbing his thumbs across his cheeks. Yugi nodded.
"Good." Atem said kissing his lips and then pulling him back into his chest.
"Where's my kiss?" Yami whispered in his ear. Yugi smiled, before turning around in Atem arms and kissing Yami gently. He then pulled away and dropped his head onto his shoulder.
"Tired?" Yami asked rubbing his back.
"If your head just felt like someone had been attempting to split it in two, you would be too." Yugi muttered.
"I think I'll head out now." Isis said leaving the room.
"Lie down, and sleep with us." Atem suggested as soon as she was gone.
"I should have gone to school." Yugi muttered.
"Just go to sleep, Yugi." Atem said as he pushed him and Yami onto the bed.
"But you guys were so tired, and people make sacrifices for the people that they lo-like, like a lot." Yugi quickly corrected himself as he found he still couldn't say the word and mean it.
"You like us a lot, Yugi?" Yami asked.
"Yeah." He admitted playing with Yami's shirt.
"And when do you think that emotion will become love?" Atem asked. Yugi shrugged.
"Soon I hope." Atem persisted. Yugi shifted starting to become uncomfortable.
"Knock it off, Atem." Yami said pulling him closer.
"But-" Atem started to protest.
"No." Yami said.
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
"Oh shoot!" Yugi shouted scrambling off the bed and grabbing his backpack. He fished out his cell phone as it started to repeat the ring tone for a third time.
"Hey Jou!" Yugi said into the phone.
"He knows who it is by the ring tone?" Atem asked Yami.
"Interesting." Yami responded.
"Why aren't you at school?" Jou asked albeit rudely.
"Um because Yami and Atem had a really late meeting last night and I didn't want them to fall asleep in class." Yugi said shifting his feet.
"What does that have to do with you coming to school?" Jou asked.
"Um, I might have lost their trust a little bit." Yugi said.
"Define a little." Jou said.
"Um, like they have apprehensions with letting me out of their sights?" Yugi asked more than said.
"Yugi! Well, they're passing around the elf form today." Jou said. Yugi gasped.
"They're not?" Yugi said his jaw dropping.
"Yep, and they won't let us sign for you." Jou continued.
"No!" Yugi half cried and whined. Atem and Yami raised their eyebrows at him.
"They say you have until four to sign the form if not, then I guess you're not doing it this year." Jou said too casually.
"I'M COMING!" Yugi shouted into the phone and opened the door running out of it.
"Yugi! Your shoes!" Atem yelled after him.
"Hold onto the form, I'm coming with my signature!" Yugi said.
"Don't worry we are. Actually, we're playing keep away with a couple of freshmen." Jou said.
"Come on, there's one spot left and we just want to sign it!" Yugi heard a voice yell in the background.
"Too bad, the last spot is for our friend, Yugi!" Malik shouted back.
"Oh too slow!" Kaiba said.
"That's not very nice, but I'm okay with it." Yugi said as he was scooped up into a pair of arms.
"You can run pretty fast when you want to." Yami commented as he put his shoes on. Once they were on, Atem set him back on the ground, and Yugi took off running again.
"You know Yugi, we could get you to where you're going a whole lot faster if you just tell us where you're going." Atem said walking beside him.
"You're right. School! An delay!" Yugi said hopping onto his back and pointing in the direction he wanted to go. Shutting his phone in the process.
"I am not a horse!" Atem protested supporting Yugi's weight with his hands.
"Giddy up, let's go!" Yugi said patting his back. Yami burst out laughing as Atem started to run at a vampire's pace. Three minutes later Yugi found himself at school, as he slipped off of Atem's back.
"I didn't mean for you to run, but thank you." Yugi said as he swayed from side to side like he was a walking drunk.
"You're welcome." Atem said looking smug.
"Just because he was using you like a horse didn't mean you had to go and make him slightly sick." Yami said shaking his head as he watched Yugi walk into the building.
Yugi rushed through the building, as fast as he could, to where he found Jou, Malik, Kaiba, and Seth tossing a clipboard around. Ryou was staying out of it as he leaned against the lockers. But upon noticing Yugi walking towards them, he caught Jou's attention and pointed at him. Jou caught the clipboard and turned. He ran using his supernatural speed, something he didn't do very often, to appear at Yugi's side instantaneously.
"Here." Jou said handing him the clipboard and pen.
"Thanks Jou." He said signing his name. The freshmen huffed looking annoyed before walking away. Jou took the clipboard back and went off in search of the teacher who hosted the thing that they had signed up for.
"Well that was fun." Yugi said as Ryou walked up to him, and just about collapsed on top of him.
"Whoa! What's wrong with you?" Ryou asked catching him and putting one of his arms over his shoulders.
"Atem doesn't make a very good horse." Yugi said shaking his head as Ryou slowly lowered him to the ground.
"Ah! There he is." Yami said coming around the corner.
"What time is it?" Yugi asked looking up at Ryou.
"Um, it's…schools out time." Ryou said as the bell rang.
"Well, I might as well as get my school work, since I'm here and all." Yugi said using Yami and Ryou both as a crutch to get back on his feet.
"Do you need help?" Yami asked reaching out as Yugi started to walk away.
"No I'm fine!" Yugi said as swayed to the far right and almost hit a wall.
"I don't think you are." Yami said hovering behind him ready to catch at a moment's notice.
"I'm fine Yami, stop being so paranoid." Yugi said swiping at his hands.
"You are not fine." Yami said grabbing him before he could run into an open door and steering him away from it.
"Yes, I am, and I needed to go into that room, thank you." Yugi said yanking his arm from his grip.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were drunk, but I do know better." Yami said crossing his arms.
Atem, this is your fault.
How's it my fault? He was treating me like a ruddy horse, he deserves to be off balance.
"Hello, I'm here to pick up any work I missed today." Yugi said standing in front of the teacher's desk.
"And why weren't you in school today?" the Sensei asked.
"Atem was feeling sick, so I stayed home to coddle him. Cause that's just the kind of mate that I am." Yugi said grinning.
"Vampires don't get sick." Sensei countered.
"They do when you deprive them of blood for being bad." Yugi retorted.
"He doesn't look sick." He said jerking has thumb at Yami.
"I said Atem was bad, I never said Yami was." Yugi said.
"Uh huh, well I didn't assign anything for the day, and your other teacher, the accident prone one was out today again." Sensei said.
"If I didn't know that that teacher was a klutz just from what I've seen in class, I'd think there was a problem at home." Yugi said sighing before thanking him and walking out.
"So, you don't have any schoolwork today?" Yami asked his voice dropping huskily.
"No." Yugi responded cautiously.
"Perfect." Yami said grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the building.
"Why is that perfect?" Yugi asked.
"He doesn't have any work today." Yami said stopping beside Atem.
"Really?" Atem asked his entire attention focused on Yugi.
"Yes." Yugi said visibly gulping.
"Good." Atem said swinging him up onto his back.
"Giddy up." Yugi teased wrapping his arms around Atem's neck.
"I thought I was a bad horse?" Atem asked smirking at Yugi over his shoulder.
"Heh, you are." Yugi said kissing his neck once.
"Alright then." Atem said giving Yami a sly look. Yugi could practically see the gears turning in his head.
"No, don't!" Yugi protested, but it was too late, Atem and Yami both had already taken off.
When they finally stopped, Yugi didn't know where they were. Not that he was looking around; he had his face planted into the crook of Atem's neck. His grip was tighter than death's around him. He wasn't moving, no matter how many times they asked, he wasn't moving.
"Just loosen your grip a bit." Atem said in a strangled voice.
"Mm-mm." Yugi said shaking his head slightly.
"Ha, now you know how I felt that first time we ran with him." Yami commented from the left.
"Would you please help me?" Atem complained.
"Well, since you said please, I suppose I can." Yami teased him. Yugi felt hands tug at his arms, but they didn't move.
"Is he…nt?" Yami asked quietly.
"No! It has a certain scent to it. Trust me; you'll know when he is." Atem shot down right away.
"Okay." Yami said before Yugi felt light fingers attack his sides. He squirmed before letting go and sliding off of Atem's back. He just lay on the cold ground, since it felt so good against his skin.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, oh you poor thing. We really shouldn't run with you." Atem said scooping him up into his arms and holding him close. Yugi just moaned in response, since he was scared that something would come out if he opened his mouth.
"You still have the mind link. You can communicate through that." Yami said tapping his temple lightly.
Shut up.
"Open your eyes, Yugi. We want to show you something." Atem said gently sitting down and propping him against his chest.
Describe it to me.
"Come on, just open your eyes." Atem persisted.
Why can't you just describe it to me?
"Just open your eyes, Beautiful." Atem whispered in his ear.
Yugi opened his eyes slowly to that. He was met with a beautiful sight and had to blink a couple of times to make sure what he was seeing was real. It looked as if he was in a cave made of crystals. There was a light shining on them from somewhere lighting them up like Christmas lights. They sparkled and shined in ways that took his breath away. Yugi watched in wonder as the colors from the crystals shined on his skin, and he couldn't help but play with the light a little bit.
He tried to stand up, and walk around but as soon as he was standing his legs gave way sending him crashing to the ground. Yami caught him before he could hit it though, and held him close. Yugi just sighed and continued to play with the colorful lights on his hand.
"So, do you like it here?" Atem asked.
"Yeah, it's beautiful." Yugi said leaning his head back to look at him.
"I'm glad you think so." Atem said coming to sit by them.
"How do you guys find so many interesting places? I mean where do you find the time?" Yugi asked.
"You have to sleep at some point, Yugi." Yami said running a hand through his hair.
"Yeah, but you need sleep too." Yugi pointed out.
"Not as often as we would have you believe." Yami said off handedly.
"In any case, we found most of these interesting places before we met you." Atem cut in before Yugi could comment.
"So what ones did you find after you met me?" Yugi asked.
"You're just going to have to wait and see." Atem said brushing some bangs out of his face. Yugi rolled his eyes.
"So, what purpose do we have for coming here?" Yugi asked.
"We are enjoying the company of one another." Yami said pulling him closer.
"Uh huh, and?" Yugi asked.
"That's it." Atem said.
"Right, and?" Yugi asked nodding his head in agreement.
"What makes you think there is anything else?" Atem asked looking offended.
"Because you two are usually always avoiding a meeting, after having to endure a long and stressful one the day before." Yugi pointed out.
"So?" Atem asked.
"So, you have your duties, and you need to attend to them." Yugi said.
"Well, we're shirking them today." Yami said turning his head away.
"You cannot shirk your duties." Yugi said in an exasperated tone.
"Watch us." Yami said tilting his head up.
"No you can't-mmm." Yugi was cut off by Yami's lips being placed over his.
Shirk off your duties, because if you shirk off your duties than I'm going to end up hearing about it!
No one's going to blame you.
That's what you think.
Just enjoy the moment, Yugi, please.
Fine.
Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck and pulled him down on top of him, Yami following only too happily. Yami slipped his hands up and under his shirt, and lifted it up and over his head, momentarily breaking contact with his lips. He reconnected their lips and danced his fingers lightly over his skin. Yugi shivered with want for the man above him. How long had it been since they had laid bare before one another, all three of them? Too long if he couldn't even remember a specific date. Maybe they could…
No, it would be way too uncomfortable to do that here.
But-
Later, if you're good.
And what do I have to do to be good, by your standards?
Everything we say.
"In a non pet way of course?" Yugi asked his voice dripping with disdain as he pulled away from Yami to look at him.
"Of course." Atem assured rubbing their noses together.
"Fine." Yugi said before sealing their lips together and kissing him in such a gentle intense way, Yugi surprised himself with its intensity as he slipped one of his hands to perch against his neck. The intensity of the kiss grew as Atem allowed Yugi to take complete control of it. Yugi didn't know where they came from, but he couldn't stop them as the tears started to cascade down his face. When Atem tried to pull away, feeling the wetness against his own face, Yugi gripped his neck better keeping him where he was.
Yugi, what's wrong?
I…I…I can't describe it, I don't know how.
You…love us?
No, I've seen love, and though what I'm feeling this moment may be close to it, it's not love. It's not love, not yet.
Maybe that's why you were fighting with us so much? You were confused?
Yugi's eyes snapped open, and he pulled away from Atem to look over at Yami. The look he was giving him could only be described as disbelief. He blinked twice before answering Yami's questions.
"No, I was fighting so much because I wanted to know things about and from my mates and my mates were mum on the subjects. I mean honestly, how hard is it to say that I was born in December? Or March? I mean come on." Yugi said shaking his head.
"You told him?" Yami asked looking with disbelief at Atem.
"I thought it would help at the time. It didn't, but I thought it would." Atem explained as he tried to pry Yugi's hands from around his neck. Yugi just pulled himself closer.
"No, mine." He mumbled.
"I could easily unclasp your hands from around my neck." Atem pointed out.
"Yeah, but you won't, you like it too much. So now that we've determined what month they're in, what day are they on?" Yugi asked laying his head down on Atem's shoulder from his odd angle.
"Will you try to kill yourself again if we don't tell you?" Yami asked his eyes drooping in skepticism.
"Possibly, it is an option." Yugi said nodding slightly while keeping up a straight face. Yami's eyes narrowed at him.
"Fine, it's on the 31st for me, and the 2nd for Atem." Yami said sitting up and crossing his arms.
"Yes! Wait, what day are you guys planning on leaving?" Yugi asked pulling away from Atem slightly to look at him.
"On the 31st of December." Atem said seriously.
"Wha-bu-no! You can't!" Yugi whined.
"And why can't we?" Atem asked.
"Because it's his birthday. How am I supposed to give him his present if he leaves?" Yugi asked whispering it into Atem's ear.
"Um, you wrap it up so he can open it on the plane?" Atem suggested.
"Actually, it's something he needs to unwrap in person." Yugi said releasing Atem to scratch the back of his head, a dark blush filling his face.
"So beautiful." Atem said following him down and kissing his enflamed cheek.
"And what about a party?" Yugi asked as Atem kissed his way down his neck.
"We haven't celebrated our birthdays in millennia's, we're not going to start again just because you want to." Yami said shaking his head.
"Yes you are." Yugi argued.
"No. We're not." Yami said firmly.
"Fine, then I guess you don't want your gift that I was going to give you." Yugi said looking away and pouting, at the same time as disturbing Atem's kissing pattern on his neck.
"I'm strangely okay with that." Yami said frowning.
"How old are you?" Yugi asked looking back at him.
"You already know how old I am." Yami said.
"No, I meant exactly. How exactly old are you?" Yugi clarified.
"Now, why would you need to know that?" Yami asked.
"Because I'm celebrating your birthday whether you want to or not." Yugi said bluntly. Atem snickered into his shoulder.
"Tch, I'll tell you only if Atem tells you his first." Yami bargained smirking.
"5326, now what's yours?" Yugi responded making Yami's jaw drop in shock.
"When did you…?" Yami trailed off.
"I didn't, Isis did." Atem told him.
"Oh, well then, I don't have to tell him." Yami said smiling brightly.
"He's 4017." Atem whispered in Yugi's ear loudly.
"Really? That young? I thought for sure he'd be like 4300 something." Yugi whispered back just as loudly.
"Uh! I am offended! I'm not an old geezer, Yugi!" Yami said attacking his sides with wiggling fingers. Yugi shrieked with laughter as he attempted to move away from the fingers tickling him. Atem saved him by grabbing him and pulling him away.
"I'm aware. If you were, I probably wouldn't find you as attractive as I do." Yugi teased sticking his tongue out at Yami over Atem's shoulder, who was helpless with laughter.
"Oh, you're gonna get it, because Atem won't be around to protect you all the time." Yami said wagging his finger at him.
"You're right, he'll just be around most of the time to do so." Yugi said resting his chin on the shaking with mirth shoulder.
"This isn't funny, Atem." Yami scolded.
"No, it's hilarious." He managed to get out through his laughter.
"Oh yeah?" Yami asked his voice taking on a dangerous tone.
"Hey!" Atem exclaimed as Yami tackled him to the ground from behind, and by consequence making him pin Yugi to the ground too. Atem quickly rolled over, releasing Yugi and pushing him away slightly, before Yami rolled him back over. Frowning Yugi scooted a safe distance away as he watched them rough house, vampire style, for a little bit. It was only when they appeared to be harming one another with their play that Yugi crawled back over, and somehow managed to squeeze himself in between them.
"Alright, that's enough rough housing, if you keep at it one or both of you is going to get hurt. And I'm not as able to carry you as easily as you are me, so then we'd be in some serious trouble. Not to mention that I have no idea where we are, nor any way of contacting Isis to come and heal you two. So that's enough for one night." Yugi said calmly placing his hands on their chests and pushing them away from each other.
"Yugi?" Atem asked.
"Yes?"
"You are aware that we are vampires right? And as such we heal at rapid paces, so by the time Isis got here; there'd be no need for her." Atem said slowly like he was explain something to a small child.
"Yeah well…if I'm not allowed to get hurt, than neither are you two." Yugi said scrambling for an excuse.
"It's nice to know you still care." Yami whispered in his ear.
"I've always cared." Yugi said in a clearly offended voice.
"Oh really?" Atem asked in a disbelieving voice.
"Of course." Yugi insisted.
"Because I recall a time, and I'm sure Yami does too, where you didn't give two cents for our feelings or welfare." Atem said pinching his cheek lightly.
"In my defense, I didn't know you that well." Yugi said grimacing slightly as he recalled quite clearly the time they were referring to.
"And you're saying you know us better now?" Atem asked.
"Atem, I know things about you that I didn't want to know." Yugi said shaking his head and leaning back against Yami who wrapped his arms around him.
"Whatever, we should probably get back anyway." Atem said.
"Do we have to? Can't we stay in this pretty place a little longer?" Yugi begged.
"What happened to no shirking our duties?" Yami asked.
"You can shirk them for just a little longer." Yugi said like if he allowed it, then it was okay.
"We can?" Yami asked.
"Yeah, I'll allow it." Yugi said becoming more comfortable against him.
"Well, that sounds nice. Unfortunately, there is one duty we can't shirk off." Atem said smiling in a knowing way.
"What's that?" Yugi asked tilting his head and asking in such a cute innocent way.
"Feeding you." Atem said kissing his lips softly. Yugi's stomach chose that specific moment to growl, as if it had been waiting for it to be mentioned.
"Uh right." Yugi said his face becoming pink with embarrassment, as he wrapped his arms around his stomach. Almost like he hoped this would silence its odd echoing notes in the cavern they were in.
"And seeing as you didn't eat last night, you really need to eat tonight. You really need to stop skipping meals, Yugi." Yami reprimanded gently.
"Well, I can't help it. Sometimes I'm just really not hungry. I had to force myself to eat during that time that we were separated, even just a tiny bit, I really wasn't hungry. Like ever." Yugi admitted reluctantly.
"Hmm, you still need to eat, even when you're not hungry." Atem said kissing his brow softly.
"But I might get sick if I do that." Yugi said ducking his head slightly.
"Yeah, nice try. Now come on, let's satisfy that growing monster in your stomach." Atem said lifting him out of Yami's arms, or trying to. Yami had a steel grip around him.
"I want to carry him." Yami protested.
"Fine, but you still need to get up first." Atem said easing Yugi out of his grip.
"Oh, right." Yami said letting Yugi go and standing up. He took Yugi back from Atem and swung him over his back.
"Ready?" Atem asked grinning in a devious way.
"Set?" Yami asked shifting Yugi slightly who clamped down on him, wrapping his legs around his waist, and his arms around his neck.
"NO!" Yugi shouted as they took off.
[Time skip]
"I hate you guys." Yugi mumbled into the pillow he was currently face planted in.
"We. Do. Not. Speak. Pillow." Yami stated for the fifth time in the past minute.
"Grandpa can, so you should learn how to too." Yugi argued still speaking into the pillow.
"Yugi, seriously, lift your head and speak." Yami complained in aggravation.
"What do you want to eat?" Atem asked.
"I don't know, surprise me." Yugi said tilting his head to the side.
"Oh, you give him a legible answer, just not me." Yami said pouting, and unlike Atem, he could pull it off. Yugi got up on shaky limbs and crawled over to him plopping in his lap and starting to nuzzle his neck.
"Oh no, don't you try to cuddle up to me now to try to appease me." Yami said placing his hands on his waist like he was going to push him away. Yugi's bottom lip wobbled, as a few sudden tears slipped down the sides of his face and onto the base of Yami's throat. And Yami, being the ever fool that he was, looked right down into his trap, his puppy dog eyes of doom.
"Eh…not fair." He muttered completely captured by Yugi's look.
"D-don't you w-want me?" Yugi asked in a shaky voice.
"Of course I do." Yami said running a hand through his hair.
"Then w-why are you p-pushing me a-away?" Yugi asked never taking his eyes off of Yami's.
"I'm back with the-what happened?" Atem started to announce and then asked coming into the room.
"He's not playing fair." Yami complained. Yugi felt the bed bend down with added pressure, before a hand covered his eyes from behind.
"Better?" Atem asked.
"Yes." Yami said reluctantly.
"Ruined…trick." Yugi mumbled under his breath hoping he wasn't heard.
"You deserve to have it ruined. I thought I told you that you weren't to use those eyes of yours on us anymore." Atem said placing something at his lips with a fork. Yugi sniffed at it slightly, trying to figure out what it was. All he could smell was salmon, rice, and seaweed. So sushi. He opened his mouth and Atem placed it in his open cavern.
Clearly I wasn't listening to this conversation. He felt Yami shaking with laughter against him, as Atem removed his hand. The same hand that had been used to cover his eyes was used to smack Yami upside the head.
Yugi looked down at his food tray and gasped, and clapped. There was a new thing on his tray, and according to Malik, this one caused certain things for him to happen. Oh, this was going to be so much fun! He quickly grabbed a handful of the boysenberries and shoved them in his mouth before Atem could grab them and take them away.
"Okay, what did those do for Malik?" Yami asked.
"They gave him an annoying curiosity." Yugi answered smiling. The smile fell off his face; he hadn't meant to say that. He had meant to tell them 'wouldn't you like to know?'
"Really?" Atem asked.
"Yes!" Yugi answered. He clapped a hand over his mouth. He hadn't meant to say that either.
"Well, this is going to be fun." Yami said grinning.
"Can you please continue eating, Yugi?" Atem asked.
Of course I can, I'm just unsure of if I want to.
"Oh, so even if your hands are over your mouth, you'll just answer through the link, interesting." Yami said tapping his chin.
"Do you love us?" Atem asked abruptly.
"Atem!" Yami scolded.
"No." Yugi said letting his hands drop.
"Do you see a time in the future when you will ever love us?" Atem asked.
"Yes." Yugi said nodding his head.
"Okay." Atem said nodding.
"Eat Yugi." Yami ordered softly. Yugi frowned softly before obliging, and eating everything on the tray but the boysenberries.
"Everything, Yugi." Atem said pushing the bowl of berries towards him. He crossed his arms and turned his head away.
"Do you not like the berries, Yugi?" Yami asked. Yugi opened his mouth to answer, but found nothing coming out. Ha! That side effect was super short!
"Do you like these berries, Yugi?" Atem asked a clearer question.
"Of course I like them! What are you crazy? They're delicious!" Yugi answered and then his face fell into one of disappointment.
"I love this side effect already." Atem said grinning in a way that made Yugi very wary of the man.
"Finish your food." Yami said pointing to the dish of berries. Yugi sighed before eating the rest of the berries, down to the last one.
"Alright, now the fun can begin." Yami said taking the tray and setting it on the ground.
"Tell us everything we want to know, Yugi." Atem said forcing him to lie down.
"Do you like it when we do this?" Yami asked running a hand through his hair.
"Yes, I find it very relaxing." Yugi answered, not like he had a choice to do anything but.
"What about this?" Atem asked trailing his fingers lightly over his throat.
"No, that tickles!" Yugi exclaimed scrunching his shoulders up.
"If I replaced them with my lips, would you like it then?" Atem asked.
"Yes." Yugi said nodding and Atem did just that, sucking and nipping at the skin on the right side of his throat.
"Yugi, do you like having sex with us?" Yami asked as he trailed a hand down his bare chest. Oh yeah, that was right they had left his shirt behind. That sucked, he really liked that shirt.
"No absolutely not, I can't believe you'd ask such a ridiculous question." Yugi said.
"Really, you don't like having sex with us?" Atem asked pulling away from him and looking down at him in disbelief.
"No, I don't." Yugi said still somehow managing to keep his face straight. This was too much fun.
"Then why do you continue to do it? If you don't like it?" Atem asked.
"Because I love having sex with you two, duh." Yugi answered.
"Because he loves it." Yami said rolling his eyes in Atem's direction.
"Little imp." Atem said tickling his sides mercilessly.
"Ah ha ha stop ha ha stop!" Yugi cried rolling into a ball.
"Oh no you deserve this torture, you really had us going for a second there." Atem said back.
"Can't help it. You asked, I answered as the drug saw fit." Yugi responded normally having wormed his way out of the tickle attack.
"Well, now you're going to pay for your too truthfulness." Yami said grouchily.
"It's your drug!" Yugi argued.
"I don't care, you're going to pay." Yami said back uncurling him and straddling his waist.
"I like this punishment already." Yugi said grinning up at him.
"He's not supposed to enjoy his punishments." Atem reminded.
"Whatever, we haven't gotten any from him since you took him somewhere in the middle of September. He's gone too long walking without a limp in his stride." Yami said looking down at Yugi who continued to grin back up at him.
"Well, when you put it like that, I guess it's okay." Atem conceded.
"Do with me whatever pleases you." Yugi said seductively.
"You didn't give him any cabbage, did you?" Yami asked.
"No, cabbage was absent from his diet tonight." Atem said.
"Take me!" Yugi demanded grabbing Yami by the front of his shirt and pulling him down.
"Patience, Yugi, patience." Yami said slamming his hands down on either side of his head.
"I'm afraid my instincts don't know the meaning of that word right now." Yugi said ripping open his shirt, the buttons ping ponging every which way.
"Okay." Atem said grabbing a tie, from who knows where, and using it to tie Yugi's hands above his head.
"Awww, now I don't get to let my hands wander places." Yugi said pouting.
"Keep up the face and we'll tie a blindfold over your eyes too." Atem warned. Yugi stopped pouting almost instantly.
"Good, let the torture commence." Yami said.
"Only if you remove the tie around my hands." Yugi bargained.
"You said we could do whatever we wanted with you." Yami reminded.
"Within reason, tying me down is not within reason." Yugi said staring up at Yami with hard eyes.
"Fine." Yami conceded reaching up and tying the tie tighter. Yugi winced slightly, so Yami loosened them considerably so Yugi's hands were slack in them.
"I suppose I can let you guys get away with that." Yugi said inspecting the knots.
"Okay, let us proceed." Atem said as Yami pinched one of his nipples.
"Do you like that?" he asked. Yugi didn't grace them with a verbal response, but instead moaned, arching up to the touch. Kami, it had been way too long. Yami chuckled before leaning down and placing his lips over the nipple sucking on it. His reward was Yugi working his way out of the loose bonds and weaving his fingers into his hair, pulling on the strands slightly, as he moaned loudly to the high heavens.
"You like that?" Atem asked again.
H-harder.
So impatient.
You and Atem have had each other for the past month, I have had nothing.
"Answer me Yugi, do you like that?" Atem asked pulling Yami away slightly.
"Yes! By the Gods, yes!" Yugi cried out yanking Yami back down, who grunted in surprise.
"By the Gods, huh? Usually you're praising some deity named Kami, it's rare that you show approval to ours." Atem practically purred into Yugi's ear.
"It means God, Kami means God, in Japanese." Yugi explained in breathless voice.
"Hmmm." Atem seemed to ponder as Yami moved away from his nipples and down to the soft flesh of his stomach.
Ra, I've missed the taste of your succulent flesh.
Good, because I've missed both of your mouths making patterns and marks upon it.
So damn beautiful. Atem leant down and connected lips with Yugi, immediately coaxing him into a game of dominance, which Yugi easily let him win.
Question, if I'm beautiful, what does that make Yami?
Hot.
No, I disagree.
You don't find him hot?
No. Yami pulled away from him as he looked up at Yugi, his eyes showing slight surprise, but mostly hurt. Atem had also pulled away, leaving Yugi to feeling very neglected at the moment.
"What?" Yami asked out loud, his voice interlaced with hurt.
"Then how do you find him?" Atem asked his voice hard.
"Sexy, of course." Yugi said shrugging like it was no big deal. Yami and Atem both rolled their eyes.
"How do you find Atem?" Yami asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know, I haven't found a word to describe how I find him yet." Yugi replied frowning.
"I think we should just skip the foreplay, and head straight to the punishment." Atem whispered to Yami but loud enough for Yugi to hear.
"Agreed." Yami said nodding. Yami had Yugi's pants and boxers off before he could blink twice.
"Wait, who goes first?" Atem asked.
"I don't care, just someone enter me already!" Yugi practically whined.
"Would you like the honors?" Yami asked Atem.
"I'd love them." Atem said moving into position, whilst rubbing lotion onto his fingers. He inserted one finger into him and quickly added the other two, stretching him and trying to locate his sweet spot again. Since it had been so long since they had last taken him, they had forgotten the general area of where it was located. Yugi arched and moaned; when Atem hit the spot he had been searching for.
"Got it." He said pulling his fingers back out.
"Ateeeeem." Yugi whined.
"You ready, Yugi?" Atem asked taking off his own pants, and grasping his hips firmly.
"Yes." Yugi said.
"Here I come." Atem whispered into his ear as he prepared to snap his hips forwards.
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe

Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
"Grandpa!" Yugi shouted shooting up without thinking and by consequence smacking heads with Atem.
"Ow! Okay, I may be a vampire, but that hurt." Atem complained holding his head.
"Sorry, sorry, this will only take a second." Yugi said rubbing his own and head and climbing off the bed.
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe

Where did you come from, where did you go?

"Hello?" Yugi answered.
"No, I wasn't doing anything important." Yugi said in response to whatever was asked. However, this answer got affronted looks from his mates.
Drug effect answering, thank you very much.
Yeah, well it can be a little less honest now. Yugi's eyes widened, as he his head whipped around to the calendar, where they widened even more.
"Forget? Of course I forgot! Why else wouldn't I have shown up?" Yugi said back the biggest look of I'm in trouble plastered on his face.
"It's a new drug effect. It makes me be incredibly honest, too honest in my opinion." Yugi responded in a reluctant tone.
"Yes." He answered uneasily.
"Sex, we were about to have sexual intercourse." Yugi said rubbing his forehead as he sat down on his desk chair.
"The drug didn't seem to think it was." Yugi said.
"Yes, I'm aware that honesty is based on how I feel and think." Yugi said cautiously.
"But-I-uh-aww." Yugi moaned in defeat.
"Fine we'll be there as soon as we can. Yes we'll use the truck." Yugi said in a resigned voice before hanging up.
"Change of plans, I was supposed to meet up with Gramps after I got out of school. I didn't and now he's a little upset. So we have to go, now." Yugi said climbing off the chair, and putting his pants back on, before going into his closet and grabbing a random shirt and putting it on.
"What does he want to talk about?" Yami asked as he came back out.
"I don't know, something to do with December." Yugi answered before walking over to the door and opening it and walking out.
"You have the truck keys, right?" Yugi heard Yami ask Atem.
"Huh? Yugi!" Atem asked before there was a moment of silence, Yugi took off running during it, hearing his name being shouted through the Palace as he reached the front doors laughing. He was so driving.
[Time skip]
"So, which one do you want?" Grandpa asked as soon as Yugi stepped into the kitchen.
Before Yugi was an arrangement of sweets. From cakes and cookies to pies and candies. It only had Yugi wondering one thing though.
"What's the bad news?"
"What makes you think I have bad news?" Grandpa asked.
"I walk in the door, and instead of being angry like you were over the phone, you offer me an arrangement of sweets. What's the bad news?" Yugi asked again.
"What makes you possibly think I just don't want to dote upon my Grandson?" Grandpa asked still denying the obvious truth.
"Your Father is dead, your Mother is dead, your pet died, and Sakura is going away on a long trip, were all preceded with an arrangement of sweets. What's the bad news?" Yugi asked for a third time.
"Your Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin are coming for Christmas." Grandpa said tentatively.
"What Cousin?" Yugi asked warily.
"Oh, you know, your Cousin." Grandpa said.
"What Cousin?" Yugi repeated taking a step towards him. Grandpa visibly gulped before answering.
"Heba?"
Oh, and because I forgot to mention it last chapter, Yugi's forgotten memory can be found under the title Wanted: Blood on my profile page. In case anyone was interested in seeing it, well, those of you who haven't yet that is. Oh, and to the reader who suggested the truth thing, I know you wanted it to be a yes or no thing, but I thought it would be more amusing if he was just upfront blatantly honest. Anyhoo, thank you to everyone who have/are favorited./following this story. Also, thanks to everyone who reviewed Guest and User alike. Please review! Midnight ;p
