Chapter 35
Atemu sat against the headrest to his bed with Yugi lying in his arms while he played with his hair. Atemu was feeling worried for his father. He didn’t know why he just had a bad feeling something was going to happen. He had never seen him just walk out on guests like that, especially when they had just had another join them.
Yugi sensing Atemu’s worry looked up to see him just staring straight ahead. “Atemu?” Yugi said softly.
“Yes?”
“Is there something wrong?”
“No. Everything’s fine.”
“You’re lying. I can feel it. You’re worried. Why?”
“It’s nothing Little One. I promise.”
“Atemu no, tell me. You haven’t said a word since you arrived and the fact that you haven’t since I came back in with Ryou.”
“It’s nothing Yugi. Just go to sleep.” Atemu snapped and pulled himself away from Yugi before lying down.
“Atemu it’s not nothing or you wouldn’t be acting this way. I’m just trying to help.” Yugi said angrily but was upset on the inside.
“Then don’t! Just let me go to sleep.” Atemu growled angrily at him.
“Fine! Be that way. I’m not sleeping here tonight.” Yugi nearly screamed.
Yugi got off the bed and pulled on his sleeping kimono and walked out the door to the chambers and slammed it shut behind him. Atemu cursed softly before sighing and eventually falling asleep.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Yugi ran down the halls of the palace, tears falling down his face. He was so upset. Atemu didn’t want his help when he was just worried about him. Yugi stopped outside his grandfather’s room before pushing the door open and slipping inside silently. Yugi walked slowly over to his grandfather’s bed and shook his grandfather’s shoulder.
Solomon groaned softly before opening his eyes and saw lightly in the moonlight, which came through the open doors of the balcony, his grandson standing in front of him. He heard a soft sob before sitting up quickly.
“Yugi? What’s wrong?”
“Atemu and I... got into....a fight.”
“Oh Yugi come here.” Yugi crawled onto the bed and into his grandfather’s arms. “What about?”
“I sensed Atemu was worried and tried to ask why. He brushed it off as nothing. I asked again twice and the after I asked the second time he snapped at me. I got angry and said I was only trying to help and he told me not to. So I screamed at him and left.” Yugi said while sobbing. “I feel so bad I shouldn’t have pushed him.”
“Oh Yugi don’t be. Something must have really upset him and he didn’t want to talk about it. Just go back and say you’re sorry in the morning. I’m sure he’ll forgive you. For now let’s go to sleep.”
Yugi just nodded and curled up on the other side of the bed and went to sleep. Solomon looked out to the sky through the open door and sighed before falling asleep.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
After dinner Ryou had been escorted back to his room and then he went for a walk after asking where Malik would be. He was told where to go before he hurried off to look for him. Ryou finally found the door and it was near the kitchen. Ryou knocked on the door lightly waiting for a reply, not getting one so he pushed the door open.
Ryou found it was much smaller than his and was just a small bed with a balcony, a small cupboard and bathroom. Ryou saw someone was standing out on the balcony and walked over to the doors.
“Malik?”
Ryou saw him tense before turning around. Ryou’s breathe hitched in his throat as he looked at Malik’s well toned chest, arms and stomach. It was tanned like Marik’s and Bakura’s but was slightly lighter. Ryou gulped and looked up at Malik’s face. It showed shock and pain. Ryou took a step forward but Malik held his hand up.
“Malik?”
“Why did you come here?”
“For the wedding.”
“No I mean here in my room?”
“T...To see you.”
“Ryou please it would be easier for you to forget about me.”
“Malik please let’s just talk.”
“No Ryou please. I’m tired and want to sleep.”
Malik walked by and over to the bed. Ryou turned around and looked at him. Malik had already climbed in and had his back turned to him. Ryou bit back a sob and hurried out of the room. Malik sighed as he watched him leave and Ryou just ran down the hall back to his room, where he collapsed on the bed and sobbed.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Yugi woke the next morning to find he wasn’t in Atemu’s chamber. He remembered what happened the night before and slowly pulled himself out of bed so not to wake his grandfather and then walked out the door. He walked along the corridor before reaching his and Atemu’s chamber. He walked in and saw that Atemu was facing away from him and looked to be still asleep. Yugi walked over and grabbed some clothing before changing into a shenti and tunic that had been specially made for him. Yugi walked over to the bed and crawled on and over to Atemu. He sat on his knees and put a hand on his shoulder but didn’t shake him in case he was asleep.
“Atemu?” Yugi whispered.
When he got no reply Yugi crawled off again and walked to the balcony. He gave one last look to Atemu before flying off and off down to the gardens where he could be alone and cry. Yugi curled up under the tree he sat under the first day he arrived. Yugi just sobbed in his knees as he stayed hidden from sight.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Atemu woke not long after Yugi woke. He wondered why he didn’t feel anything beside him, in his arms or on his chest. Opening his eyes he found that he was alone in bed and he then remembered why Yugi wasn’t there. Atemu cursed again before getting out and having a bath that had just finished being prepared and then got dressed.
He headed down to the dining hall hoping to find Yugi there with his grandfather, brothers, or Ryou. But as he entered he found no Yugi but he did find his father, the council, Yugi’s grandfather and brother along with Ryou and Malik. Atemu walked over and sat down before noticing his father, Solomon and Yugi’s brothers staring at him.
“Where’s Yugi?” Atemu asked Solomon.
“He wasn’t with me this morning so I’m guessing he went back to you.”
“Yugi wasn’t with me I haven’t seen him since last night.”
“Atemu I’m disappointed in you. I want you to find Yugi after breakfast and apologise. That wasn’t nice of you, he was just trying to help.”
Atemu looked down, he agreed with his father. “I know.”
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Atemu finished his meal quickly before having some guards, servants help him try and find Yugi. Even Yugi’s brothers, Ryou and Malik helped, Solomon and Aknamkanon were busy talking about the wedding.
Atemu spent the better part of the morning trying to find Yugi. He’d search top to bottom inside the palace and still hadn’t found him. Even the servants, guards, Ryou and Malik hadn’t found and they had searched outside. Atemu was starting to get increasingly worried that Yugi had run off. He continued his search outside till lunch before going in when he was called. He would finish searching after.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Yugi looked up when he heard people calling his name and searching for him. He didn’t want to be found. Yugi just moved into the corner of the garden against the back wall and wrapped his black wings around himself to help him hide better. The voices eventually faded away and he just stayed like that and continued to cry.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Atemu sighed as he went and collapsed against a tree in the shade. Atemu closed his eyes and just lay there in the shade. He just couldn’t find Yugi. Ra was now half way down in the sky. He felt so bad now and worried. He just wanted him in his arms where he knew he was safe. Atemu looked over towards the pond where the fish were eating anything on the surface causing small ripples to form.
Atemu frowned when he thought he heard a noise. Staying perfectly still he heard the sound become clearer and it turned out to be soft sobbing. Atemu stood up as quietly as possible and followed towards the sound. He found he was getting closer to the far corner of the garden where he and Seth would come and sit in the tree.
He could hear the sobbing easily now and found it was coming behind the tree. Atemu moved around hoping to the gods that it was Yugi. Taking one last step Atemu came into the line of vision and found a small person wrapped up in leathery black wings sobbing the corner.
“Yugi!” Atemu cried and ran over.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
“Yugi!” Yugi heard someone cry out in relief and he knew who it was.
Yugi didn’t move out of his ball and just wrapped his arms and wings around himself tighter. Yugi was scared and upset. He didn’t want to be hurt more.
Atemu knelt down in front of him and saw he just pulled his wings in tighter. “Yugi?” He got no response. “Yugi please open up.” Still nothing.
Atemu sat down next to him. He wrapped his arms around him and held him close. Yugi was confused but didn’t come out. Atemu felt so guilty now. He made Yugi cry and hide away from him and everyone else. Atemu had a few tears leak out his eyes and dripped onto Yugi’s wings.
Yugi blinked when he felt wetness drip on his wings. He knew that meant that Atemu was crying. Yugi hesitantly opened his wings and looked up at Atemu and saw that a couple of tears had made its way out of his eyes.
Atemu felt Yugi’s wings move away and he looked down to see Yugi was looking at him. Yugi’s eyes were red and puffy and looked itchy and sore. Atemu pulled Yugi closer and buried his face in his hair.
Yugi took a deep breath before he spoke. “I’m sorry.” He whispered out hoarsely from crying. “I’m so sorry.”
“What for?” Atemu asked his face still in Yugi’s hair.
“For making you angry last night. I didn’t mean to. I was worried.” Yugi started sobbing again after.
Atemu clenched his eyes shut before pulling Yugi into his lap and holding him tightly and buried his face back in Yugi’s hair. “No I should be. I shouldn’t have snapped at you. I’m sorry. You do have a right to ask when I’m upset. I’m so sorry Yugi.”
Yugi sobbed more and wrapped his arms around Atemu’s waist and buried his face in his chest. Atemu in turn wrapped his arms around Yugi tighter letting very few tears fall.
“I was scared I lost you. We’ve been searching since breakfast.”
“I’m sorry I wanted to be alone. I’m sorry for worrying you.”
“How long have you been crying?”
“Most of the day. I fell asleep just before lunch and woke up an hour or so ago. Been crying most of the time I was awake. I...I was scared. I thought you...you might not....want to... marry me anymore.”
Atemu gasped and lifted his head and pulled Yugi away from his chest to look at him. “Yugi don’t ever think that! I love you. We are going to fight every now and then. That’s normal, but don’t ever think that I don’t love you and not want to marry you. I do.”
Atemu pulled him close and kissed him gently on the lips before asking for entrance. Yugi opened up having melted instantly Atemu’s lips were on his. Atemu ravished his mouth before pulling back and held Yugi’s face in his hands and leaned his forehead against Yugi’s.
“I love you ok. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Do you love me?”
“I do.” Yugi said softly and kiss him gently before sobbing again, but this time in relief.
Atemu pulled him close and let him cry. After a little while Yugi calmed down and was now rubbing his eyes constantly trying to get rid of the itchiness that was there but it only made them hurt. Yugi whined and rubbed harder till Atemu pulled his hands away from Yugi’s eyes.
“Don’t it will only make them hurt more.”
“They’re itchy.” Yugi whined.
“Come let’s put a cool cloth over your eyes. That should help.”
Atemu let Yugi stand first before following and they headed back to their chamber.
