Saturday, May 7, 2005
The tapping against the window pane distracted Atem from his work on his costume, causing him to look out his window and see gray clouds in the sky and tiny droplets of water hitting the glass in miniature explosions. A small smile pursing his lips, he leaned toward the window to watch. Ever since his arrival in Japan, he had been fascinated by the rainfall, which had been a rare occurrence in his native Egypt.
After a while watching the watery cascade, that familiar feeling of fullness announced itself in Atem’s nether regions. With a sigh, Atem left his room and headed for the bathroom. After emptying himself, Atem went to return to his room, when he paused and listened. Usually, by now, the sounds of gunshots and bombs would be emanating from Yugi’s room as the younger man played the Unreal Tournament over the LAN with Jounouchi or online. Today, all was silent.
Eyebrows creasing with slight worry, Atem opened the door and peeked in, to find Yugi lying on his bed, curled up on his side, the very picture of misery. A frown tugged Atem’s lips down at this sight, as this was highly unusual for the ebullient Yugi. Closing the door behind him, Atem crossed the room and sat in Yugi’s computer chair, gliding over to the bedside.
“Yugi, are you alright?” he asked.
“Yeah. I just… watched a sad video online is all,” Yugi answered, without looking over his shoulder.
Atem frowned, not fooled for one second by Yugi’s answer, but accepted it for the time being. After giving Yugi’s shoulder a gentle squeeze, he hesitantly rose and left the room.
Monday, May 9, 2005…
“Yugi, time to wake up,” came an unwelcome voice from the darkness beyond Yugi’s eyelids.
“Nnngh! Go ‘way!” Yugi slurred, swatting at whomever was shaking his shoulder.
The grip and movement ceased. A smiling Yugi began to sink into sleep again. Until…
An icy wet coldness soaking him from head to toe.
Yugi’s eyelids flew open and he jumped.
“Aaaaahhhhhh!”
There was Atem, head thrown back in laughter at Yugi’s expense.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! You jump higher and higher with each soaking,” the Egyptian exclaimed, eyes twinkling.
“Atem!” Yugi yelped indignantly.
“Bonjour,” smiled Atem. “Come on. You’ve only an hour till your class starts.”
“Yeah, OK,” said Yugi, swinging his legs down and standing up.
How he wished Atem were going with him!
Today’s breakfast was tomato upma, made of raw ingredients that Atem had ordered from Priya Indian. The strong spicy taste did wonders to instantly clear out Yugi and Jou’s sinuses as they ate and chug a lugged water to put out the dancing flames on their tongues.
“Dere’s gonna be a hot time in da ol’ town t’night,” quipped Jou as he finished off his upma.
“It’s like there’s a party in my mouth and everyone’s invited,” joked Yugi.
After finishing up, Yugi and Jou grabbed their backpacks. As they approached the door, they saw Atem waiting with two bento, one of which he handed to each of them.
“Four extra helpings in yours, Jou,” smiled the Egyptian.
“T’anks,” grinned Jou as he shouldered his bento.
“Thanks, Até,” chirped Yugi as he shouldered his. “See you tonight.”
“I’ll have dinner for us,” Atem assured the younger man.
“From Russia with love,” Yugi said happily.
“Heh heh heh. Go on now,” said Atem.
“Yes, Grandpa,” said Yugi with an impish smirk before running out the door.
Domino University,
Lunch time…
In the mighty oak’s copious shade, Yugi and Jou opened their bento.
“Wow! Rice balls in mah bento!” exclaimed Jou as he pulled out a rice ball shaped into a puppy. “What a guy, dat Temu!”
“Yeah. He’s so awesome,” said Yugi with a sigh as he pulled out a frog rice ball.
“Ya gotta git wit ’m,” grinned Jou.
Yugi gasped and looked at Jou in horror.
“Not right now. Aftah he’s OK again,” Jou amended.
“Jou, he may never be ‘OK’ again. Mai said the damage from abuse like he went through is permanent,” protested Yugi. “I can’t… We can never…”
“Nevah say nevah. Da way I see it is it’s up to you ‘n Temu, not nobody else, not even Mai."
“Maybe…” said Yugi as he too went for his rice ball. ‘I don’t think it’s as simple as that, Jou.’
That evening…
Yugi and Atem sat on Yugi’s bed, going over their psychology books and notes.
“What did you think of our subject in class today?” Atem asked.
"Projection? That was kinda interesting. I guess it makes sense. We never wanna think bad of ourselves, so it’s just easier to dump it on other people,” mused Yugi.
“Indeed,” rumbled Atem. “Can you think of any examples that you’ve come across?”
“Yeah. Jou’s dad blamed Jou for breaking up his marriage, when he really did it himself by being a bastard to his family,” Yugi answered promptly.
“That’s a good example. Any others?” Atem asked.
Yugi felt his heart constrict painfully as he thought of the most obvious example. As yet, Atem didn’t seem able to see that he was the victim of Akhnadin’s projections. He wanted to say this to Atem, but knew that would probably only send Atem into a paroxysm, and that wouldn’t help anyone. With a sigh, he shook his head quickly.
Saturday, May 14, 2005…

c 1270 BC
Waset, Kemet
Hebai caressed the strong burnished face that stared down at him with hungry rose petal irises.
“Are you ready for me to make you mine, Hebai?” Pharaoh Atem purred.
“More than ready. Make me yours, Desert Rose!” Hebai eagerly replied, lilac eyes shining like amethysts.
Hot lips crashed into his, even as he felt fingers slipping into him, probing and stretching his narrow confines, seeking something out.
A jolt of warmth!
/
Yugi sat up straight, covered in sweat. As he moved about, he realized belatedly that his thighs felt wet and sticky.
‘What the hell?’
Yugi hadn’t had this problem since he was 13!
‘And just who the hell was this Hebai?!’
Later
“Good morning, Yugi,” came the deep voice from behind Yugi, causing him to jump out of his skin.
“Atem! You startled the shit outta me!” the tricolor yelped.
Atem blinked, then smiled.
“Forgive me,” he said lightly.
“No problem,” said Yugi tightly, cheeks blushing as his dream came crashing back to the forefront of his mind, causing his jeans to feel unbearably tight all of a sudden. “I’m going out. Be back later.”
“Don’t you want breakfast?” Atem inquired.
“I’ll just stop at Burger World,” answered Yugi as he stepped down into his shoes.
“Oh… alright,” said Atem, voice belying his hurt at being so quickly abandoned.
‘Idiot!’ Yugi chided himself silently.
“I’ll be right back after,” he said quickly and brightly before all but dashing out the door.
‘Ma’at’s feather…’ Atem thought in consternation as he watched Yugi’s retreating back.
“Where’s Yuge?” asked Jou as he sidled into the dining room and plopped down into his chair.
“He went tearing out not 15 minutes ago and said he would eat breakfast at Burger World,” glowered Atem as he sat down.
“So he ain’t gonna eat dat?” asked Jou, looking at Yugi’s steaming bowl of miso.
“Apparently not,” said Atem stiffly.
“I’ll jus’ take care a dat,” said Jou, reaching over and grabbing Yugi’s bowl.
“Itadakimasu!”
After exiting the bus, Yugi stood before his and Jou’s favorite hangout, a Western style eatery known as Burger World. With its comical hamburger faced mascot standing outside and large glass windows, Burger World was a respectable, if not classy, looking restaurant.
As soon as he was in the doors, the waitress, a girl Yugi knew on sight as Anzu, approached and smiled a friendly smile at him.
“Hi, Yugi. How’s college treating you?” she inquired, blue eyes twinkling merrily.
“It’s pretty interesting,” Yugi answered truthfully.
“I bet. Let’s get you seated,” replied Anzu as she led Yugi to a booth by a window. “The usual?”
“Yes, please,” smiled Yugi.
Yugi’s “usual” at Burger World consisted predictably of a burger, fries and a Coke, which smelled so heavenly when set before him by Anzu. It was at least a sight healthier than the usual sugary breakfast he and Jou had indulged in at home before Atem had come into their lives.
As Yugi ate, he thought about his dream. Hebai and the crimson eyed pharaoh had seemed to have such a deep bond and be so in love with each other in that world. Could Yugi and Atem ever be together in that way? Jou certainly thought so. But when Yugi pictured the scarred over welts marring Atem’s back, all manner of doubts arose in his heart. Would Atem ever be able to enjoy Yugi’s touch without memories of Akhnadin tainting the experience?
With a morose sigh, Yugi finished his Coke and went to pay the bill.
“Bye, Yugi. Come back soon,” chirped Anzu.
“Will do. See ya, Anzu!” smiled Yugi.
‘Now off to do my… shopping,’ he thought, eyes darting about wildly as he exited the restaurant.
Yugi moved along at a quick, but not too obvious pace, toward the seedy side of town, lilac eyes dashing about all the while, looking for any familiar faces. He would die if anyone who knew him saw him going to the destination he had in mind.
Soon, the buildings began to look a bit more dilapidated and the streets had more potholes than pavement in them. Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, Yugi continued along until he reached his destination. After taking a final look around to make sure no one he knew was around to see him, Yugi ducked into the adult store.
Thirty minutes later, he emerged with a rectangular package clutched under his arm and set out for home. As before, Yugi’s eyes darted about, looking out for anyone he might know. Suddenly, his heart stopped beating in his chest. There, about half a block ahead of him, was his grandfather, out for a walk downtown. Yugi quickly turned right and headed away from his guardian before he could see and question him.
‘Of course, I’m an adult now so it really isn’t Grandpa’s business. But it’d feel funny having him know about this and I just don’t feel right lying to him, so best to avoid him altogether,’ Yugi reasoned as he hurried along.
Yugi was beyond glad when he made it back to the house and slipped in through the front door, pausing just long enough to step out of his shoes. Clutching his package securely under his arm, Yugi started to make his way to the staircase.
“Hey, Yuge!” came the voice of Jou, who was just stepping out of the kitchen, green apple in hand.
“Ah!” yelped Yugi, almost jumping through the ceiling.
“Whutsa mattah? I stahtle ya?” asked Jou as he crunched his apple.
“I didn’t hear you coming up,” explained Yugi, trying to conceal the package behind his back.
“Dat’s weird fer you,” commented Jou. “Wutcha got b’hind yer back?”
“What? Nothing. Nothing at all,” denied Yugi, starting for the staircase.
“Yuge, I see ya got a package,” insisted Jou.
“Nope. You’re hallucinating, Jou. You might wanna take it easy today,” denied Yugi before he turned and charged upstairs, thus shutting down the conversation.
“Dat’s gotta be da weirdest conversation I evah had,” declared Jou before going back into the kitchen.
“Did I hear Yugi come in?” asked Atem, looking up from the recipe cards he was alphabetizing and putting into a small steel box.
“Yeah. Weirdest t’ing: he had a box undah his ahm ‘n d’nied it tot’ly when I asked ‘m ‘bout it. Den he jus’ took off fer his room. So who knows wut’s up wit ’m t’day!” declared Jou.
“Hm. Odd behavior indeed. I'll go up and see him after I finish with these cards,” decided Atem, turning back to his project.
“Cool,” said Jou.
After closing his door behind him, Yugi set the package down on his bed and, with a deep relaxing breath, began opening it. After the wrapper was off, Yugi made short work of the box. The lid was removed to reveal a long, thick silicone vibrator.
Yugi quickly shed his clothes and grasped himself at his base. With another deep breath, he closed his eyes and began stroking with each hand in turn, the heat and tight grip feeling good as always.
As he worked himself, Yugi envisioned Atem standing before him, regal and proud in his full glory. Lean muscles rippling underneath burnished skin with each graceful movement, the Pharaoh prowled toward him, like a lion with his magnificent tricolor mane billowing in the hot breeze.
The rose petal eyes gazed intently at him, full of hunger and lust. The full lips quirked up in a smirk as those strong hands reached for him.
Yugi’s eyes flew open as the feeling of hard, erect fullness hit him boldly. Grasping the vibrator from the box, Yugi positioned himself on the bed on his knees, pert little derriere sticking straight up in the air. Keeping his mental image of Atem in play, he parted his cheeks with his left hand and aimed the vibrator with his right. With another deep breath, he began to push.
Yugi winced as he felt the vibrator slip past his ring of muscle. Taking deep breaths to relax his body, he continued to push it forward, imagining all the time that it was the tip of Atem’s arousal penetrating him.
“Oh, Atem…” he groaned as the silicone toy slowly advanced further and further.
When Yugi hit that spot, the jolt of pleasure was so intense that he almost fell off the bed. Wasting no time, he flicked the switch and the toy came to life, sending wonderful waves of warmth radiating throughout his body.
In his mind, Yugi could see Atem staring down at him with those smouldering eyes and that beautiful smile he had seen too few times playing on his lips. His majestic demeanor was unburdened by all the anger and sorrow that weighed him down in real life, allowing him to express his love for Hebai to the fullest. Leaning down to capture Hebai’s lips in a kiss, Atem began to thrust in and out.
“Atem! Atem! Oh, gods! Atem!” Yugi cried as he moved the vibrator around inside himself, repeatedly brushing his prostate.
Yugi saw stars exploding before his eyes as that delicious, warm feeling engulfed him from head to toe. As precum wept from the tip of his erection, he grasped the organ with his free hand and started pumping furiously. In his mind, it was Atem’s hand, sensuously stroking his turgid length.
“Oh, I’m gonna come! Ra, Osiris and Set! My Desert Rose! Ateeeeeeeeeemmmmm!!!!” Yugi cried as the heat broke over him like a wave, molten lava coursing through his veins as his body jerked and convulsed.
In the throws of his ecstasy, Yugi’s clouded mind vaguely registered hearing the approaching footsteps and opening door. As he slowly came down from the high he had just been on, Yugi’s eyes opened and stared up into the horrified face of the object of his fantasy.
Yugi’s post orgasmic bliss was doused by the cold water of reality as he saw a pair of haunted crimson eyes reliving a horror as to which he could all too easily guess. Atem’s mouth opened and closed several times, though no words ever came out.
“Oh… I…” Yugi stammered as he quickly removed his now cum soaked hand from his organ and slid the vibrator from his backdoor. “I… was… Oh, gods…”
Atem turned on his heel and fled the room.
“A-tem…” Yugi called in a weak voice, even as he tried in vain to get his legs to work properly.
The sound of Atem’s bedroom door slamming shut and the lock being engaged told Yugi all he needed to know: Atem wasn’t just a bit upset; Yugi’s little stunt had forced him to relive the hell of the past six years of his life. His sense of safety in this house had just been shattered in the worst possible way, all by a single act of indiscretion on the part of the one person who was supposed to care for and protect him.
‘Why the hell didn’t I lock the damn door?!’ Yugi mourned to himself as he grabbed his boxers and walked unsteadily out of his room and down the hall to Atem’s door.
“Atem!” he called through the door. “Atem, I’m so sorry! I really fucked up! Please come out and let’s talk.”
The only sound he heard in reply was muffled sobbing.
“A…” Yugi cut himself off.
What use was it now? He had ruined everything! Atem was mentally broken and would probably have to be institutionalized now at worst. At best, he might still be OK, but would hate Yugi and probably leave as soon as he was able to, never to return.
Either way, Yugi had monumentally fucked up.
Tears falling from his large eyes, Yugi blundered to his room to dress and clean up the evidence of his indiscretion.
‘What if he kills himself?’ Yugi thought in a panic. ‘Don’t be stupid! Atem may have his problems, but he’s way too strong to kill himself just because he saw you with a vibrator up your ass! I need some advice! I can’t call Grandpa about this! Who… who? Mai-sensei!’
After his mental soliloquy had led him to this epiphany, Yugi grabbed his phone and called Mai.
“Hello?” answered the voice on the other end.
“Mai-sensei, it’s Yugi,” Yugi began in a tremulous voice.
“Has something happened?” Mai immediately asked.
The floodgates burst open.
“Oh, my gods! I can’t believe I was so stupid!” Yugi wailed into the phone, raking his fingers through his tricolor hair.
“Calm down, Yugi. Tell me everything from the beginning,” came Mai’s firm voice from the other end.
“OK, first you gotta understand that when I first brought Atem home, I told him my door was always open to him and he could just walk in, even if it was closed,” Yugi began.
“Alright,” said Mai.
“Well, the thing is, when he walked in earlier, he caught me in… kind of a compromising position,” Yugi said, blush tinging his cheeks.
“What exactly happened?” Mai asked in a no-nonsense tone.
Yugi took a deep breath.
“I was on my knees in bed with a… vibrator in me and I was pretending it was Atem taking me and that’s when he walked in, just as I was screaming his name!” he mourned. “The look on his face, Mai-sensei; it was like I’d just abused him all over again. Then he just ran out of the room and locked himself in his room and wouldn’t come out or even answer the door no matter how much I cried and begged. I know I heard him crying. Oh, Mai-sensei, I’ve wrecked everything!”
A brief silence as Mai digested the story, during which Yugi felt his stomach drop further and further under him. What if Mai told him that he had indeed ruined everything and Atem would have to be put in the mental hospital?!
“OK, Yugi. What happened was a mistake,” Mai said firmly. “Things like that will happen during a recovery. What you have to do now is learn from it and move forward. You may need to amend your promise to Atem so that every once in awhile, your door will be closed. But when you’re done doing what you need to do, it will be open again immediately.”
“Right. That makes sense. But in the meantime, what can I do about him not talking to me?” Yugi asked.
“He probably just needs time to process what he saw, Yugi. It was obviously a shock to him and probably triggered a flashback. I doubt Atem would ever hold a grudge against you. But right now, as hard as it may be, you need to back away and let him come to you,” Mai continued.
“OK…” said Yugi with a sigh.
“Any other questions?” Mai asked.
“No. Thanks for the advice, Mai-sensei,” replied Yugi with a wan smile.
“You’re welcome, Yugi. Good luck to both of you,” said Mai.
“Bye, Mai-sensei,” said Yugi.
“Bye, Yugi,” said Mai as they both hung up.
‘The best way to give Atem time to come to me is to just get outta here for a while, I guess,’ Yugi thought glumly as he opened his door and peeked out into the hallway.
The hallway was silent, Atem’s door still firmly closed. With a sigh, Yugi shut his door behind himself and crept toward the staircase on silent feet.
‘I’ll just go over to the game shop for the rest of the day,’ he thought as he slowly descended the stairs.
Yugi found Jou in the living room, watching a cop show on TV.
“Jou, I’m gonna go to the game shop for the rest of the day. Will you tell Atem if he asks?” Yugi asked.
“Somethin’ happen ‘tween you two?” asked Jou.
“No. I think he’s just not feeling too good or something. I don’t wanna bother him, so I’ll just go out a while,” answered Yugi as he stepped down into his shoes.
“OK, man. See ya when ya git back,” said Jou with a friendly wave before returning his attention to the TV.
“Thanks,” said Yugi softly as he set out.
Kame Game Shop…
Sugoroku looked up at the sound of the bell ringing, lilac eyes widening in startlement as an unexpected Yugi walked in.
“Yugi, my boy! Welcome! I had no word of your coming or I’d have cooked some lunch for you,” said the elderly man, rounding the counter and placing his hands on Yugi’s shoulders.
“Hi, Grandpa. Sorry to just drop in like this, but I kinda needed to get away from home for a while,” Yugi explained hesitantly.
“Did something happen between you and Atem?” asked Sugoroku.
“Sorta and it’s all my fault,” said Yugi unhappily. “I can’t go into detail, but I did something that kinda upset him and now he won’t come out of his room. I asked Mai-sensei what to do and she said to give him space for a while, so I came over here.”
“I see,” said Sugoroku. “I think you did the wise thing, Yugi. When your grandmother was still alive, she and I would sometimes argue. When we did that, we would always clear out from each other for the rest of the day, just to give each other room to think. Then in the evening, we’d come home, sit down and talk things out. That’s what kept our marriage alive for over 40 years!”
“I never thought of you and Grandma ever arguing. You always seemed to get along so good,” commented Yugi.
“It’s because she and I worked hard at our relationship that it seemed so effortless. You’ve seen how ducks seem to glide effortlessly over the water at Domino Park?” began Sugoroku.
Yugi nodded.
“Well, what you don’t see is their legs, churning quickly underwater to keep them moving forward. Calm on the surface, but working hard underneath,” explained Sugoroku, moving his hands in circles for demonstration. “It’s the same thing when I run this game shop. It looks easy because I’ve so much experience at it, but I can tell you, it takes much hard work that I never let anyone else see. That’s what makes a pro a pro."
“That totally makes sense, Grandpa,” said Yugi with a sad smile.
“Indeed. Now, if you’ll work the register for a bit, I can cook you some lunch,” offered Sugoroku.
“OK,” said Yugi, jumping up on the stool and sitting at the machine.
After Grandpa disappeared behind the door, Yugi checked for messages, only to find nothing. With a sigh, he put his phone in his pocket.
That night…
Yugi stepped out of his shoes and padded silently upstairs, eyes scanning the hallway. All was silent as a graveyard.
With an unhappy sigh, Yugi retrieved his PJs from his room and retreated into the bathroom for his evening shower and bath. After a quick head-to-toe scrub, Yugi slipped into the hot water and sank up to his neck, letting the heat wash over him.
‘If I wanna have any chance at all with Atem, I can’t afford another fuck-up. Being in a relationship is putting the other person before yourself and I didn’t do that today. I was so busy thinking of satisfying my horny body, I didn’t even take the time to lock my door. From now on, I don’t do a thing unless I know it won’t hurt Atem,’ Yugi thought determinedly. ‘I just hope he’ll forgive me…’Yugi tiptoed down the hallway, keeping a sharp eye on Atem’s door for any signs of life from underneath. Alas, the crack between door and floor was dark, indicating that the Egyptian had gone to bed.
‘Guess I might as well do the same,’ Yugi thought sadly as he disappeared into his room for the night.

Waset, Kemet
“How could you do that to me?! I trusted you!” Pharaoh Atem barked, angry crimson gaze boring into Hebai’s eyes.
“I’m so sorry, Atem,” Hebai cried tearfully. “I had no right…”
“I’m leaving! I never want to see you again!” Atem growled, plowing over Hebai’s words. “Come near the palace and it’ll be your head!”
“I’m sorry…”
“So am I!”
As Atem turned on his heel and strode away, Hebai fell to his knees, staring helplessly after the Pharaoh’s retreating back.
