Yes! I got this out before the 8th! Yes, yes, yes! Does a little happy dance. Okay, I do not own Yugioh, Hunger Games, or Catching Fire, enjoy! [YUGI, YAMI, and ATEM] Oh WARNING: IF YOU ARE EATING FOOD, PUT IT DOWN, I DON'T WANT YOU GETTING SICK ON ME.
Chapter 39
"Are you sure you don't want a noodle?" Yugi asked again.
"We. Do. Not. Eat. Human. Food." Atem and Yami said together again
"Yeah, but there's no harm in just trying it." Yugi frowned eating the noodle.
"Why are you being so difficult?" Yami asked putting his head down on his arms on the table.
"Because I'm human? Being difficult is one of the things I'm good at." He responded grinning. Atem sighed shaking his head while rubbing it with the back of his hand. Yugi frowned and slipped off his stool and into his lap.
"Yes?" Atem asked wrapping an arm loosely around his waist.
"I miss the constant contact."
"Oh sure, he misses your constant contact, but he's fine without mine."
"No, I think it's just because you're blocking off your lap."
"Hardly."
"Oh, well then why don't you sit up and we'll see."
"I don't feel like it."
"The why are you complaining. You know you could…"
Yugi started to tune their arguing out as he eyed Atem's exposed neck. The two seemed very distracted with their conversation, err, argument. He leaned up and kissed Atem's neck lightly, once, twice, three times, four, five, six, he stopped counting as started to kiss his neck a little harder, before attaching his lips to it altogether, sucking at the skin.
"…think you have a little leech over there, is all." Yami's voice entered his ears loud and clear. Yugi tried to quickly wrap his arms around Atem's neck, but he was quicker. Switching his hands around, he managed to push him away before he could get a good grip, but Yugi did manage to bite him before he managed to push him all the way away.
"No. We do not bite, biting is bad. No bite, Yugi." Atem said firmly.
"Says the vampire." Yugi responded raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, well, biting is my way of life. You don't need to bite me to survive."
"Sure I do. It's been a long time since I've marked my territory."
"Your territory?" Yami asked.
"Yes, you and Atem are my territory, and don't you ever forget it." Yugi said pulling him close before kissing him. Yami pulled him off of Atem's lap and into his, his legs falling on either side of his chair.
"No, no, Yami, have a little more self control, please."
Screw self control. This is my mate and I will make out with him if I feel like it.
Yes, well, we're in a family establishment, remember that?
Uh…
Come on.
Atem pulled Yugi from his lap and held his arms at his sides. He then picked up his abandoned chopsticks and started to feed him with them. Yugi was impressed, he hadn't thought that Atem even knew how to use chopsticks, let alone know what they were. He heard Atem sigh behind him as he ate his food. Oh, he really needed to learn how to control his thoughts so he wasn't such an open book. Control, not completely block out. He needed to retrain his mind.
"Good luck with that." Yami chuckled. Yugi stuck his tongue out at him.
"Be careful, or I might just capture that muscle." Yami warned.
"Yeah? With what?" Yugi asked back his eyes growing dark with want.
"Okay, we're leaving the family establishment and going somewhere where grown-ups can play." Atem said throwing some money down onto the table and standing up shifting Yugi into a bridal pose.
"Ooh, fun, and what kind of games will we be playing?" Yugi asked wrapping his hands around his neck.
"Ugh, why is he so horny?"
"Because he hasn't seen us in two weeks." Yami supplied.
"Yeah, but we're not horny towards him."
"You mean you're not. I however, have no problem being just as horny as him."
"Well, control it better."
"So where are we taking this cute thang?"
"H-hey, Yami?" Yugi called.
"Yes?"
"Don't ever say 'thang' again, please."
"Why not?"
"Just don't, please."
"But why?"
"Cause thang is no longer cool, especially when you say it." Yugi winced. Atem laughed.
"Gee, way to boost my ego, Yugi."
"I'm not here to boost it. I'm here to deflate it, until its non-existent. Put me down, Atem"
"I thought you wanted to be held." Atem commented holding him tighter.
"Well, now I want to walk." Atem put him down.
"What's wrong with his face?" Yami asked.
"Huh?" Yugi asked as Atem tilted his head up.
"I have no idea." Atem shook his head.
"Isis."
"Yep."
Before Yugi could even blink he was back in Atem's arms, and being rushed presumably to Isis. He buried his face into Atem's neck, he hated vampire running. Everything turned into a blur of color, and he always got so dizzy from it. Yugi clamped down on Atem, it's not like he could really tell when they stopped moving anyway, so he saw no problems with getting a tight grip on the one thing that felt as if it wasn't.
"Okay, Yugi, you can let go now." Atem said trying to pry him off his body. Yugi just held on tighter.
"Seriously, we've stopped running." Yami tried assuring him.
"No." he barely got out before everything he had just had to eat in the past several hours came out all over Atem's back.
"Well, I'm so happy you decided to carry him." Yami said sounding as if he was trying not to laugh. He was failing miserably. Yugi wiped his mouth off on Atem's shoulder, before looking up at the vampire in question. He had his eyes closed, and was taking deep breaths. Yugi slid off his front and onto the floor.
Sorry.
"I know, Yugi, I know." Atem said back his eyes still closed. Speaking of eyes, Yugi was having troubles with his vision, and now that he thought about it, his face felt a little puffy too. He poked at it, before getting up, and stumbling into the bathroom that he knew was in the room somewhere.
When he finally found it, he flicked on the light and looked into the mirror. Yugi's jaw dropped. His face looked like he had had an allergic reaction to a bee sting. It was completely swollen. Like a balloon about to explode. On no, was his face going to explode? He vaguely saw a shadow come up behind him, but didn't really give it any thought.
"OW!" he cried as a sharp, sudden, and extremely short amount of pain was suddenly jabbed into his arm.
"There, the swelling should go down in an hour or two." Isis said walking out of the bathroom.
"Thank you, Isis." Yami said from the doorway.
"Is Atem still upset?"
"No, Isis told us that males, when pregnant, get sick at night, while females do in the morning. If anything he's quite giddy about having your sick all down his back."
"Eww. I did not to need to know that last part."
"Eh, I told you anyway." Yami said offering his hand.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" Yugi asked taking it.
"Sure, what did you have in mind?"
"Hunger Games. And then after that we can watch Catching Fire."
"How about something more kid appropriate, you know for the babies?"
"How about we gorge ourselves on children's movies when the kids actually arrive?"
"How about now?"
"My date, my rules. We're watching what I want."
"So, what are we watching?" Atem asked looping an arm around Yami's waist.
"Apparently Hunger Games and Catching Fire." Yami answered in grumpy voice.
"Okay." Atem shrugged.
"Cheer up Mr. Grumpy or you're going to be kicked off this date." Yugi said opening the doors to his Game Room.
"I am not Mr. Grumpy."
"Are too."
"Are not."
"Are too."
"Not."
"Too."
"Not."
"Too."
"Not."
"Too."
"Not."
"Not."
"Too! And that is final! Wait what?"
"Yugi, how do you work this odd contraption?" Atem asked holding up a black rectangular device.
"Oh, don't hold it like that. Where are the cords?" Yugi asked when he noticed that it was just a rectangular box.
"You mean those weird snake like things that had attached themselves to the box?"
"Mm-hmm."
"I destroyed them." he both sounded and looked very proud.
"You…what?"
"I destroyed them, see?" he held out two black mangled and very ruined cables. Yugi poked at their remains. He felt the need to bury them, though he didn't know why.
"Sit on the couch, and don't touch anything else."
"But-"
"Now."
"Yes, Yugi Dear." Atem grumbled sitting where he was told to. Yami joined him.
Yugi got out Hunger Games, and inserted it into his PS3. After fiddling with the controller for a little bit, he got the movie playing. When Atem reached out for it with curiosity planted all over his face, yogi smacked his hand.
"No touch." Yugi said firmly before sitting down and turning up the volume a little bit. He laid his head down in Yami's lap, putting his feet in Atem's.
"Why does he get your head?" Atem complained.
"He didn't ruin the blu-ray player which you will be replacing." Yugi growled out. Yami snickered at Atem, while Atem just glared back at him. Yami, almost seemingly unconsciously, started to run his hand through Yugi's hair. It was so comforting and relaxing, Yugi found himself falling asleep before they were even in the arena.
[Time skip]
Yugi woke up sandwiched between his two mates. Well, that was going to change. He felt as if he needed a little bit more space here, like the entire beds worth of space. He just needed to stretch. He placed one hand on each of their chests, Atem's eyes opening slightly at the contact, and pushed.
He had meant to push them out of bed, that was all. Instead they went flying out of it with Yami into his closet and Atem against the doors. Yugi frowned, oops.
"Ow, what was that for?" Atem asked sitting up.
"Huh, that's new. Apparently I didn't need to use all my strength for that." Yugi said looking down at his hands as he sat up.
"Is it breakfast time?" Yami asked coming out of the closet pulling a shirt off his head. Yugi laughed at him.
"Must be, or else he wouldn't have woken us up." Atem said getting up and stretching. He needed to get away, bathroom, he needed the bathroom. He saw Atem reach out for him, and the next he was looking at the toilet. He looked to his right, the bathroom door was closed, even though he had no memory of closing it.
"Yugi? Where did you go?" Yami asked from the bedroom. He shrugged did his business, washed his hands and walked back out.
"Come sit, we're hungry." Atem said patting the bed.
"That sounds like a personal problem." Yugi grinned.
"What? Y-you said you'd feed us today." Yami stuttered.
"Yeah, I've changed mind. Now, where's Isis? I need to talk to her." Yugi said leaving the room.
"You can't change your mind on this!" Atem shouted from behind him.
"Watch me." Yugi said taking a step and finding himself at Isis's door. He blinked, and took a step back, he was at the bottom of the stairs leading up to his bedroom.
"You just vanished!" Yami complained from above him. Yugi took a step forward, and he was at Isis's door. Step back stairs, step forward Isis's door, step back stairs, step forward Isis's door step back stairs.
"How are you doing that?!" Yami all but screeched.
"Beats me, but it sure is fun!" Yugi said taking another step forward and actually going into Isis's door this time.
Isis looked up from what she was doing. Yugi squeezed his eyes shut and re-opened them. Nope, it was still there. He could see, literally see, the small microscopic splinter in the boy's finger that Isis was trying to remove with a needle and tweezers. He shook his head and sat down.
"I've been expecting you. You're probably here because you'd like to know the pros and cons of your decision, correct?" She said a distracted voice.
"Uh, yes."
"Well, you're just going to have to wait until your mates get here. They'll want to hear this too. Got it!" She stood up triumphantly the splinter clutched between the tweezers. She handed a band-aid to the boy and he walked off putting it on.
"I'd rather you just tell me now."
"You're just going to have to wait until the King and Queen arrive."
"Hmm, I don't feel very patient right now, so tell me anyway."
"No…they do know you're here don't they?" she asked as if the idea suddenly occurred to her.
Hey losers, I'm in Isis's chambers.
"They do now." Yugi responded as he felt two brushes of air and looked up to see them both glaring down at him.
"We are not losers." Yami growled at him.
"Whoever said you were?" Yugi asked back smiling oh so innocently at them.
"You-!" Atem started.
"Ahem! You can fight later. Right now, you need to know some of the pros and cons of Yugi's decision, and yours."
"Pros and cons?" Yami asked looking away from Yugi to her.
"Surely you didn't think this came without any?"
"Well…" Atem trailed off.
"Oh Ra. Well, Yugi, which would you like to know first?" Isis asked directing the question at him.
"Cons."
"Seriously?" Atem asked.
"You always save the best part for last." He said leaning against him.
"Oh, now you want to be around us?" Yami asked.
"Not really no, you just make a comfy head rest."
"Isis?" Atem asked.
"That's your own fault. You were the ones who didn't tell him he could get pregnant. So the first three months of the pregnancy he'll want little to nothing to do with you. The next three he'll be a cuddle bug, and the last three will be a tossup between the two."
"Wait, I'll be pregnant for nine months?" Yugi asked frowning. Wait, she'd told him that before, so why was he questioning it now?
"Has Atem or Yami ever glittered in the sunlight?"
"No, that would actually be a little disturbing to be honest."
"Then yes, you'll be pregnant for nine months."
"Okay, what else?"
"While pregnant there will be certain foods that you will crave constantly, but won't be able to eat."
"Why?"
"Because you will have the same effect that you do with blueberries."
"Gross."
"Okay, what else. Oh, you'll have night sickness instead of morning sickness."
"Yes, we already discovered this. Last night remember?" Atem asked.
"Yes, I remember. You were upset until I informed you that it was a normal pregnancy thing, and then you were overjoyed."
"Right, next."
"Um, well, let's see. Oh yes, there will be sometimes when he will want to feed you, and others when he just doesn't care if you starve or not."
"Yes, we've discovered this already. It doesn't matter; we'll be able to hold him down. After all he's only human."
"Which leads us into the pros."
"There are no more cons?" Yami asked.
"Not that I can think of. So, actually, you'll probably find that a little difficult to do."
"And why's that?" Atem laughed.
"Because of the vampire's gift."
"The what?" the three of them asked together.
"The vampire's gift. It is only given to males, never females. Vampire healers were able to deduce that this was because females knew ahead of time that they can get pregnant, males 3/4 of the time did not. Sometimes even the vampire was unaware that they could get their male partner pregnant."
"Okay, so what is this vampire's gift?" Yami asked.
"Basically, his sight, hearing, speed, strength, healing, and smell have all been enhanced to that of a newborn."
"Cool." Yugi said looking giddy as he stood up and reappeared over on the other side of the room by taking a simple step forward.
"Ha! You can't bite me now, vampires!"
"What else?" Atem asked looking away from him.
"Well, for you guys, you will constantly know where he is after you drink from him during the first week of pregnancy. If you miss this chance, you will miss this pro to his pro."
"Well, there are two of us, and only one of him, it shouldn't be that hard." Yami commented.
"Don't underestimate the will of a newborn." Atem said quietly following Yugi around the room with his eyes alone.
"But he's not a newborn." Yami argued.
"I just thought of something. When should we tell my Grandpa?" Yugi asked stopping in the middle of the room.
"I don't think we should tell him at all." Atem said.
"Oh come, it's not like he's going to break out his gun and try to kill you."
"No, but Sakura might." Yami said back.
"Who said she had to know?" Yugi asked back looking offended. Both vampires breathed out in relief.
"Though, it would be entertaining to tell her, just to see her face."
"Please don't, Yugi, please."
"I guess I won't sentence you to your deaths yet."
"Gee, thanks. Any others?" Atem directed the question at Isis.
"Not that I can think of off the top of my head."
"Okay, let's go, Yugi."
"Aww, are you still hungry?"
"Yes."
"Then go find a wild animal and suck it dry." He said taking a step forward and disappearing out the door.
"Urgh!"
"Wait, I need to tell you two something. Dartz is still on the loose, and Yugi's instincts will see that as a threat. Everyone in this Palace knows Yugi couldn't hurt a fly, and there have been other cases like his."
"Other cases?" He heard Atem ask.
"Yes, ones where the instincts will take over to protect the young."
"I don't understand." Yami said. Yugi could just see him shaking his head.
"Sigh, his instincts will see Dartz as a threat and want to eliminate it. Yugi won't, no matter how much his instincts push to protect his forming young. He won't go off and kill Dartz to do so. Watch the eyes, his eyes, when the instinct takes control, they will grow dark, very dark. Keep him by your side and the instinct won't have a chance to take control, let him out of it for even a second and it will appear."
"Wait? Isn't he alone right now?" Yami asked, but his voice sounded odd, like he was speaking at the end of a long tube pressed to Yugi's ears.
"Oh, I didn't think of that." The world around him was becoming a blur, he could still see everything, but it was fuzzy around the edges.
"Come on!" Atem's words were coming to him slowly like they had been recorded and play backed slowly so you could understand them better. He was moving too, he didn't know how he knew this, but he knew that he was moving, but he couldn't feel that he was moving, he just knew that he was.
"Yugi." there was that slow playback sound. But it was his name. Should he respond? No, it would just give him away. He should remain quiet, quiet and moving.
"Yugi." the sound of his name was further away, more faint. He must be moving fast, very fast.
"Guards." The word was so faint; he barely caught it, like a whispering breath on the wind carried out to him. He felt cold suddenly, cold and scared, but the fear was pushed down quickly. He needed to do this, to protect his unborn children. He wasn't sure what it was, but he needed to do it. So he kept moving, walking or running, he wasn't exactly sure how he was moving, he was just moving.
[Time skip]
He was in a tree line. It had been a day and night since he had started to move. He didn't feel hungry, or thirsty, just felt the need to continue to move. Move forward. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and turned towards it. It was a vampire, he motioned them forward, and they started to come, before backing up and fleeing. He felt himself smirk, smart vampire. Another popped up, before disappearing, his world was becoming clearer, but he still couldn't make out details. Just faint images, and figures that ran, every one of them, they ran when they saw him coming. Then one stepped forward and laughed. Every sense he had focused in on them. The detail of the figure became sharp and in focus, it was Dartz.
"Come to die, foolish human child?" he sneered.
"Yes, my mates lied to me. I see no reason to be with them anymore." Yugi answered in a voice that sounded like his but wasn't. Dartz would be fooled though, he wouldn't know the difference.
"Ha ha, about what?" he asked lowering into a crouch.
"It doesn't matter." He said looking away. Dartz charged and he simply turned to the side letting him bulldoze past.
"What?" he heard Dartz ask stopping before he hit the tree. He turned to look at him, but Yugi was still looking away.
"Is something wrong?"
"No." and he charged again. Again, Yugi turned to the side. Did he not realize that he was playing with him?
"Would you just stay still?"
"I thought you didn't like an easy fight."
"Well, I kind of expect it when I'm battling a human." He growled making to charge again.
"Master, please don't. He'll kill you."
"Pfft, don't be ridiculous, this human is going to be the one to die." And he charged. Yugi turned but as he did he reached out and grabbed the hair on the back of Dartz head, right by the scalp. He moved closer and grasped his arm.
"You should have listened. I wonder which part of you they'll want more. Your head…your body…or both." He pulled into two opposite directions on the word both. Dartz's head went in one direction while his body the other. Thus the decapitation was quick with little blood to clean. He looked down at his pajamas, he had liked these ones too, but now they needed to be burned. Disgusting blood had touched them. He sighed dropping both body parts to the ground.
"Do you have a body bag?" he asked the surrounding vampires.
"Uh, we have several gym bags, but you'll have to break him more to fit him in them."
"Okay, aren't any of you going to try to avenge him?"
"No, you're pregnant. You could kill us with a flick of your wrist, none of us are fools controlled by revenge."
"The bag then?" One was thrown at his feet as he asked.
"Just take him and go, get out of here."
"Don't come after me, or I will be back." He said his own words seeming to come out of a long tube. The world was growing blurry again, as it had before when he was moving. He felt a faint tug somewhere in the back of his mind while this was happening, a whisper of a word too faint to hear. It was pushed from his mind as a sickening snap filled his hearing and then another one. Then there was the sound of something being stuffed into a large container, and then he was moving again, but this time with a weight on his shoulder. He moved, just moved. He still didn't know if he was walking or running, but he continued to move. He felt a strange sense of peace near his heart, though he couldn't tell you why that was. So he did the only thing that made sense to him right now, moving.
[Time skip]
Yugi pushed through the crowd of people at the door. Their figures were blurred as he shoved past so many hands patting him down. He grabbed one, breaking the wrist, and the rest backed away. Yugi continued to move, until he was at what he knew to be the doors of the throne room. He pushed them open, but didn't gain the attention of any in the room by this simple movement.
"The only places we haven't looked yet are the places we dare not go, or are forbidden to." Atem was saying through long tubes next to his ears.
"And those are?" someone else asked as Yugi threw the weight that was on his shoulder onto the table watching as it slid to a stop in front of their little huddle.
"There, the threat is eliminated. Something you should have done, but your petty laws prevented you from doing. I need water." He said before turning and leaving.
"YUGI!" the shout made him wince as it ricocheted off his sensitive ears. He moved quickly down to the kitchens where he got a bottle of water clearly labeled as having the FBR-18 drug in it. Throwing the cap over his shoulder he chugged the drink, and as he did, the world went back to normal around him.
"No, Prince, don't drink that!" he heard someone cry in a clear and scared voice. He continued to drink though, until he was sucking on air. He then lowered the bottle looking at it for a second, before the screams started. His, loud, high and out of control, they filled the Palace quickly alerting his mates to where it was he had disappeared to now. They burst into the room just as the world state to go dark, just as he started to fall. He felt himself caught and a whispering word, but it was beyond him what they said. He was already gone.
[Time skip]
Yugi's eyes fluttered open. His first impression was that something or someone was curled up around him. Twisting his head slightly in that direction, he found it was sleeping Yami. Well, he needed to use the bathroom, so Yami needed to wake up now. He could do this one of two ways simply or nicely. He chose simply. Putting his mouth right next to Yami's ear, Yugi screamed at the top of his lungs. Yami jerked back falling off the bed, at the same moment Yugi saw out of the corner of his eye Koneko start and fall off her jungle. Yugi gasped and rushed to her side picking her up and cradling her. She purred and cuddled up to him as well.
"Look, Koneko fell, poor thing." Yugi said as he turned to find Yami attempting to climb back up onto the bed.
"Why in all the Gods names did you wake me up so rudely?"
"Well, I was up so I figured you should be too. Plus, I had to go to the bathroom and didn't feel like prying myself from your grip." Yugi said walking into said room and setting Koneko down on the sink.
"What was that noise?" Atem asked bursting into the room.
"Yugi, waking me up." Yami growled.
"Oh, wait he's up?"
"I just said so didn't I?"
"So moody." Atem teased.
"You would be too if someone screamed directly in your ear. It felt like he was trying to burst my eardrum." Yami growled back.
"Now now, it would have healed." Yugi said smiling coming back into the room petting Koneko. He kind of felt like the villain in a child's movie. They always seemed to have a cat. Whahaha! Except Maleficent, she had a bird.
"Ahem!" Atem interrupted his monologue in his mind.
"Yes?"
"Are you better now?"
"Why? Have you drunk from me?"
"Not from lack of trying."
"Yami!"
"Just saying."
"You weren't able to? Even when I was unconscious?" Yugi asked.
"That's what he said wasn't it?" Atem kind of hissed at him.
"Don't hiss at me. Okay, feed." Yugi said sitting down on the bed.
"What?" they asked together.
"Don't make me repeat myself." Yugi frowned making to get up. Yami grabbed him before he could though, and plunged his fangs into the left side of his neck. Yugi sighed, and tilted his head slightly more, allowing him more room. He felt Yami grin against his skin, before he felt him drinking. He pulled out shortly and sealed him. Atem pulled him towards him next, and did the same. He felt slightly less blood filled than normal, as was apparent when Atem gave him the blood replacer which he ate quickly. Soup was put in front of him, and he ate it greedily.
"Yugi, we need to tell you a vampire secret, we feel it's one you should now." Atem said slowly almost morbidly.
"Yeah?" Yugi asked thinking it was one he already did know.
"Well, while you were sleeping, Isis did a check on your womb and found six life forms swimming around in there."
"I'm pregnant with sextuplets?"
"For now."
"For now? What do you mean for now?"
"Yugi, when you give birth, there will only be one child. It's survival of the fittest in there, and whoever is the strongest will be born."
"So, basically what you're saying is only one of you getting a kid?" he asked just to clarify.
"Yes."
"Nope! No, I am not okay with this. I've made a decision. I'm having twins. One from each of you, I don't care about the gender, I'm having one from each of you."
"Uh, it doesn't work like that. You can't just decide that you're having twins and then have them."
"Watch me! I'm having twins, understand, two kids are coming from this body. One from Atem and one from Yami. T-W-O, two. Twins." As he was saying all this he felt a big shift in his lower abdomen, and he bolted for the bathroom. Well, there went what little dinner he had had before this argument started.
"Got anymore food?" Yugi asked as he stumbled back out of the bathroom. Atem chuckled, catching him before he could fall, and placing him back on the bed.
"We always have more food." He replied as Koneko walked off his pillow and sniffed around at Yugi. He wondered if he smelt different to her too. She meowed at him, before promptly laying down on his chest and falling asleep.
"Hmm, well at least you still love me."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I can sense your anxiousness to leave, Yami. How come?"
"You can? Well, it's just my turn to go to the stupid meeting, and Atem's to stay with you."
"Yes, so get." Atem said pointing at the door. Yami grumbled before sliding off the bed and walking out the door. He put a large tray of food in front of Yugi who devoured all of it on sight.
"I need a sucker." Yugi said as he suddenly as he got the craving to suck on something.
"Why?"
"Because I need to suck something."
"You know there is something in this room which you can suck to your utter content." Atem said his voice deepening considerably as his eyes darkened.
"You put your dick I my face and I'm going to chew it like you do gum."
"I'll go find you a sucker then."
"Smart move."
Atem returned ten minutes later with a handful of assorted suckers in his hands. There were tootsie pops, blow pops, super blow pops, and some others he had never heard of before. Atem held them out to him, but he didn't take any.
"Oh no, I don't want them anymore, you took too long." Yugi shrugged. Atem yelled in aggravation, and threw them around the room. He was going to say something but Isis beat him to it.
"Now that was very mature of you, Atem."
"I spent five minutes picking those things out, and now he doesn't want any."
"Better he didn't want any now, than when he was in the middle of sucking one and decides he didn't want it anymore, hmm?"
"I guess." He grumbled.
"Okay, I was busy researching other pros and cons about being impregnated by a vampire, and have discovered that we missed a few."
"Like what?"
"Well, I assume they've already told you about the one child thing."
"They're wrong, I'm having twins."
"Uh-."
"Don't, he's set on having twins, so we're just going to let him believe it."
"Alright."
"Okay, you know that you'll gain an enormous amount of weight?"
"Uh huh."
"Right well, about a week after i-their born, you'll snap right back to the weight you were before the pregnancy."
"'Kay."
"Your hormones will be unbalanced, as is normal for any pregnancy."
"Anything else?"
"The vampire's gift will start to disappear in the month preceding the birth, and that's as far as I got."
"Okay, I have a few questions. Will I have to go through like a bloody season once a month after this?"
"No."
"Good, do they have to remain with me all the time? That's going to be really annoying."
"Not anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't worry about it. It's not important." Atem brushed off.
"Okay, last question. How are these kids going to be born?"
"Simple, we're going to cut you open and take them out."
"Alright." Yugi said looking down at his nails with interest.
"I have a question." Atem said.
"And that would be?" Isis asked.
"Is he always going to be this energetic after a feeding?"
"You fed from him?"
"Yes, Yami and I both did."
"I can't even tell. That whole healing more quickly thing really works."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that one." Atem sighed plopping down on the bed and pulling Yugi and Koneko closer to him.
"Yes, get your rest; you're going to have a busy nine months ahead of you." Isis said smiling as she left.
"Go to sleep, Yugi."
"No, I don't feel like it."
"Just go to sleep."
"Didn't you hear me? I don't feel like it."
Atem opened one eye and looked him up and down. Yugi almost felt like he was assessing him, so he looked away, pouting. He supposed if he wanted to, he could easily break Atem's hold, but he didn't feel like doing that either. So instead he scooted further into him.
"Great, you know that was the only downfall of Yami becoming a vampire." Atem muttered.
"What was?"
"He no longer went to sleep when I told him to."
"Ha ha, I guess he's not a very good listener either huh?"
"Oh no, he was great listener, ten times better than you. He still is, you're the one who needs to work on your listening skills."
"Never." Yugi said turning in towards him and rubbing noses with him. Atem blinked and started to lean towards him before they were both interrupted by an indignant meow between their chests. They looked down to see Koneko walking off tail high in the air. Yugi laughed at her little temper tantrum.
"Sorry, Baby."
"That is not a baby. That is a demon with sharp claws." Atem grumbled. Yugi laughed harder.
"Oh, you find that funny do you?"
"Hilarious."
"Well, let's see how you find this." He said before mercilessly tickling him. It was a short lived tickle though as Yugi laughed and got sick, right into Atem's face, at the same time. He felt kind of bad about it too, considering Atem's mouth had been open and all. Atem didn't say a word as he back off the bed and into the bathroom closing the door behind him.
"Sorry, Atem." Yugi called out as he wiped off his chin and looked down at the blankets. He stripped them and the sheets and carried them down into the hallway, dropping them there. They'd just sleep in the Ruby Room tonight that was all. Yugi came back up as Atem walked out of the bathroom.
"So, I was going to take a bath and wanted to know if you wanted to join me?"
"Are you trying to appease me after that little display of sickness?"
"A little."
"Well, it's working, so keep going."
"Come on, Atem. You should enjoy this while I want to be around you. Who knows what tomorrow will bring." Yugi said stripping.
"Indeed." He said scooping him up and throwing him into a tub that was already filling with water.
"What? So you were going to give me a bath whether I wanted one or not?"
"That was the idea. Thank you for not letting me follow through." He mocked bowed at Yugi. He huffed and turned his back on him.
Yami, abandon that stupid meeting and come take a bath with us.
I invited you not him.
Well, he's joining us regardless.
What-ever.
I'm hurt; don't you love me anymore, Yugi?
Of course I do. I couldn't tell you why I love you two buffoons right now, but I do.
First losers, now buffoons. You know you make us feel so loved.
Don't you worry I have a million more condescending nicknames picked out for you guys.
Oh, well look what we have to look forward to, Atem. More condescending nicknames.
I knew that would make you happy. Yugi looked over his shoulder to see Yami had arrived.
Oh yes, we're just leaping over the moon with joy.
So, are you going to join me or just stare?
The water rose up significantly. They didn't get close to him, but the water did rise up. Someone turned off the water, and then sighed. Yugi frowned and turned back to face them, leaning his back against the opposite edge. Yugi frowned, as a sudden thought hit him. He climbed out of the bath, much to the protest of the vampires and brushed his teeth.
"Why are you doing that now?" Yami asked.
"I jus' realived someting if all." Yugi said around his toothbrush.
"You what?" Yami asked frowning. Yugi just shook his head and finished brushing his teeth. When he was done he slipped into the water and onto Atem's lap.
"Not that I'm not enjoying this, but why are you sitting here?" Atem asked. Yugi responded by slipping his arms around his neck, and kissing him.
I never kissed you hello. Hello.
Oh, no, bad, very bad. Yugi let go, please.
Don't you want me?
Immensely so, but I won't be satisfied with just kissing. I'll want more of you.
Mmm, well more is off limits, just be satisfied with what you're being given, please. I'm fighting against every one of my instincts to be close to you two right now. It's very difficult, so don't ruin it.
You are? Why can't we feel that?
Beats me, but I am.
Hmm. Atem finally managed to push him away. Yugi sighed and slipped off his lap and back to the other side of the tub. Yami frowned, carefully maneuvering over to him. He wove his arms around him and pulled him close, tucking his head under his chin.
"Yami?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm hungry." Yugi whined as Atem laughed.
"Didn't you just eat?"
"Well, yeah, but then I got sick again. Right, Atem?" the laughter was abruptly cut off as Atem grimaced.
"Well, okay we'll send for some more just as soon as we are done washing you."
Yugi shot up, and was out of the bath before either could even move. He was in the bedroom and dressed in less. He heard a splash of water and a complaint, before there were sounds of them both getting out of the tub. Yugi brushed past them muttering that he would get his own food; he knew where the kitchens were.
He took his food, once he had it, to his Game Room. He was sleeping here tonight. Yugi looked down at the tray in his hands before setting it down on the counter. He slumped down onto the couch before curling up and crying. That was so like Yami though, he was always putting his foot in his mouth when speaking. He had told them how hard it was for him to suppress his instincts, and then he went and said that. Didn't they understand that suppressing his instincts was like breathing underwater? Difficult and impossible. Well, nearly impossible, because he had managed it, but for only a very short amount of time.
"Yugi?" Yami called softly.
"Go away."
"Yugi, I'm sorry."
"GO AWAY!" he screamed at him. Yugi listened as he left before going over to the doors and locking them. He went back to the couch and cried himself to sleep. This was going to be a long nine months.
"Atem, Pharaoh, I don't feel very good. And my mouth hurts." Yami complained holding his mouth as he walked slowly into Atem's chambers from his own room.
Atem sat up in bed, and patted the spot next to him. Yami walked over and climbed into bed with him, sitting before him. Atem took his hand away from his mouth and looked inside it, gasping. He poked at something in Yami's mouth, pulling his hand away looking at the drop of blood from a tiny pinprick on it. He frowned, and bit open his own wrist, putting it before Yami's mouth. Yami wrinkled his nose turning his head away.
"What? You don't like your Pharaoh's blood?" Atem asked smiling. Yami shook his head. Atem chuckled and sealed his wrist back up. He seemed to think for a minute, before grabbing Yami's hand and walking out into the hall.
"I want you to run to the end of the hall and back again." Atem said pointing. Yami did so in the blink of an eye. Atem grabbed a group of passing servants, or were they slaves?
"I'm going to pick each servant up and place them in your arms. Tell me when they're too heavy." Atem said as he picked up the first slightly confused and scared servant. It took five, but it seemed that was all Yami could hold.
"Tell me how far you can see and hear."
"I can hear the birds chirping in the garden below, and I can see a slave turning way down there into a different hallway."
"Last thing, do you recall your parents?"
"Not really."
"Okay, well, it seems one of them had vampire blood in them. Yami, you're a vampire like me. You're a pureblood." Atem said seriously. Yami stared at him for a few seconds before falling to the ground with laughter.
"And what may I ask is so funny?"
"You. You actually think I'm a vampire? And a pureblood one at that."
"No, I don't think, I know you are one. I've done a very extensive test just now, and have come to the conclusion that you were born a vampire. For the first 15 years of your life, you live like a human, as did I. But when you reach your 16th year, you turn into what you were born as. When that happens though, is up to the transformation itself. Yami, over the next year, your body will slowly reject all forms of human food, until it is leaving solely off of human blood."
"You can't be serious."
"Am I ever not serious?"
"Yes, last night, you were far from serious as I wiped frosting all over your face. As I recall we had a huge frosting fight, and when Isis found us, all she said was that we were late to the meeting."
"I still can't believe you got me to agree to go to it frosting covered."
"Yes, but the looks on the council's faces were amusing, no?"
"Yes, they were." Atem said as his eyes shined with love looking at Yami. Yami shifted and looked away from his gaze.
"Atem?"
"Hmm."
"When are you going to put me in the Harem? I'm 16, and I won't be young forever. So you might as well make sure you can get a good use out of me while you can." You could tell from his voice that he didn't want to ask, but it was more a need to. Atem stepped towards him, tilting his head back until he was looking him directly in the eyes.
"Never, I'm keeping you for myself. Not even into my own harem will you spend a single night. You're mine, Yami, I'm never letting you go." Atem said his words full of love before kissing him sealing his words with sincerity. Yami kissed him back hesitantly. The kiss was short lived though as a shriek of indignation filled the corridor.
"Atem, you're engaged to me. Have you forgotten this?" a high pitched voice asked from behind them. Yugi looked around them to see…Anzu. Yugi grimaced in disgust. Both Yami and Atem seemed to share his sentiments with their faces.
"How can I? You remind me every second of the day. Please help me to get rid of her." he whispered at Yami who grinned.
"You slave, go fetch us a meal which we will be eating in his room. Then head back to your quarters. We wish to spend the day alone." Anzu said batting her eyes up at Atem. Could she not see he was positively disgusted by her?
"Okay first, Teana, he is my Servant, not my Slave. Second, no, I will not be tortured by you for the entire day. And third, go away." Atem said in a highly annoyed voice.
"This is your fault, you lowly worm. And I will make sure you're on the next boat out of here." Teana spat at Yami before marching off.
"Can we put her on the next boat out of here instead?" Yami asked.
"I wish." Atem sighed.
"What if an accident just happened to happen to her?"
"Come here, and spend my day off with me."
"Of course, it would be my pleasure." Yami smiled up at him. Atem smiled back, before placing a kiss on his cheek. And the two went back into Atem's room to spend the rest of the day together.
Yugi woke up, but found himself to not be alone. Atem was sleeping on the floor next to him. Yugi fiddled with his bangs, before pulling his hand away as Atem opened his eyes. Yugi hopped over the back of the couch and went to one of the closets in the room. He stepped inside and turned on the light. Changing out of his pajamas, he put on his school uniform. He really didn't care if he had school or not, he was going to go.
"Are you going to forgive, Yami?" Atem asked as he watched him walk over to the small kitchen area of the Game Room. He took out a bowl, cereal and milk. Something easy that he knew he could make.
"I can make you a better meal."
"No."
"No to my question or statement?"
"I'm not sure to what I should forgive Yami for."
"For, how did you put it, putting his foot in his mouth."
"Why should I? He's always putting his foot in his mouth. I forgive him for this time, and two weeks later he'll be doing it again."
"Please Yugi, he feels really bad."
"That doesn't sound like my problem."
"Yugi." Atem said warningly.
"What? Are you going to hoist me up by my throat again if I don't?"
"No, I'll ignore you."
"Fine with me. Have a good day, I'm going to school." Yugi hopped off the stool, his bowl of cereal untouched, and left the room.
He walked down the hallways, not at all oblivious to the fact that Atem was following. He could hear his slow footsteps behind him, something he'd never really been able to distinguish before. Sighing, he took a step and was at the front doors. He turned, Atem was nowhere in sight, so he continued on. Probably went back to Yami. Kami, Atem babied him too much. No, Atem babied them both too much. It wasn't like they were going to break at the simplest of touches; it wasn't like they were glass.
He was nearly at the school, when he heard one pair of slow footsteps, and another pair of stumbling ones behind him. He glanced over his shoulder to see Atem pulling Yami along, a very reluctant Yami. Yugi rolled his eyes, and took a step to arrive at the front doors. He opened them and walked inside, going straight for his locker. Maybe vampire running wouldn't bother him anymore.
He saw Malik down the hallway waving to someone, before turning around. His face lit up at seeing Yugi, but Yugi ran over to him giving him a tight hug and started to cry into his chest. Malik seemed a little stunned, before wrapping his arms around him and rubbing his back.
"W-what's wrong, Yugi?"
"I don't knooooow. I just feel like crying so I ammmmm."
"Uh, o…kay. What did you do?" he heard Malik whisper at someone behind him.
"Uh, Yami upset him." Atem said in a clear voice.
"Hey! Don't throw me to the wolves. Atem helped."
"Oh no, no this was all your doing. You're the one who put your foot in your mouth, not me."
"Yeah, well, you…you…um…you…"
"They got me pregnant, Malik!"
Ahem, well, the cats out of the bag now. How will Malik take the news, and will he keep it to himself or share it? You're just going to have to wait until the next chapter to find out. Anyway, though, I'm going away for a week. So from Monday to Sunday expect to hear nothing from me, I'll be gone. Now, to answer some comments and questions, because there were a lot of them. Yu-gi-ohlove3-I'm not sure yet. We'll see. Guest 2-you've confused me with your question. I'm unaware of what you mean. Really-well I'm sorry I disappointed you, but do not believe yourself so righteous to think I do not know what it's like to get little to no reviews for my stories. I do, in fact every new author knows how this feels. And anytime an author writes for a new Category, they have to build up their reader count again, thus getting little to no reviews again. I do not withhold chapters...most of the time. Right now for all my stories, if I have the chapter ready I will update it as soon as I can. Maybe I could have written my excitement for getting 35 reviews, I love you guys, better. I will make sure to be more clear next time. Guest 3-yes, yes there will be. Haven't figured out the title yet, but thee will be. Dark Sadist-I checked the song out, and no, there is not. I'll try to work it into a different story though. Let's see, yep, that's it. Okay, thank you to everyone who are/have following/favorited this story. Also, thanks to everyone who reviewed Guest and user alike. Please review. Midnight ;p
