Chapter 42
Yugi and Atemu arrived back at palace and were let in the gates. They gave their horses to a couple of guards and Atemu wrapped his arm around Yugi’s waist and started back inside. They made it close to the throne room when a servant came out of now where.
“Prince Atemu come quickly it’s the Pharaoh.” She said.
“What?” Atemu said eyes wide.
“This way.”
She ran off down the corridor and Atemu and Yugi followed. Turning down a few more they came to find Seth coming down their way quickly.
“Atemu come on quickly. You can go.” Seth said quickly.
Seth ran ahead of Atemu and Yugi. Seth led them to the healing chambers and stopped and let Atemu and Yugi in first. Atemu hurried in and found his father on one of the beds. Atemu hurried over with Yugi behind him. Atemu knelt down beside the bed and took his father’s hand. The Pharaoh’s eyes opened slowly before he turned his head and his eyes were trained on Atemu and Yugi.
“Father what’s wrong?”
Aknamkanon sighed and looked away. “I’m dying Atemu. I don’t have long to live.”
Atemu froze and Yugi gasped and clamped his hand over his mouth. Atemu just stared at his father with an unreadable expression. Atemu shook his head and looked around him. The council was there, Seth was standing behind Yugi with a sorrowful expression on his face, and Solomon was on the other side of the bed with Yugi’s brothers behind him. Atemu looked around trying to find Isis.
“Isis.” He said when he saw her.
“Yes Prince Atemu?” she asked stepping forward, sadness could be detected in her voice.
“Wh...What’s wrong with my father?”
“His heart is dying Atemu. He has been for some time. It’s just now that it has struck hard. He can’t walk anymore.”
“H-How long?” Yugi asked seeing Atemu was wanting to but couldn’t.
“I estimate about a week maybe less.”
“You all knew this.” Atemu glared at them all even Seth. “You didn’t say anything. Why?”
“It was the Pharaoh’s wish not to tell you Atemu.” Seth said seeing no one else would.
“I don’t care if it was my father’s wish. You should have told me. How can I trust any of you now?” Atemu yelled angered.
“Atemu please calm down they were just following orders.” Yugi said putting a hand on his shoulder but Atemu shook it off.
“My son, I didn’t wish for you to be depressed during your wedding and worry about me.” Aknamkanon said as he looked at him.
Atemu had been holding his tears back but couldn’t anymore and bowed his head resting it on his and his father’s hands and cried. Solomon ushered the council, Isis, Yugi’s brothers, Seth and Yugi out of the room and he followed. Atemu continued to cry and Aknamkanon ran his free hand through his son’s hair.
“Atemu I don’t want you to be sad. I have lived a long life and now I will go to the afterlife and join my father and his father, even your mother. You’re day will come when we met again in the afterlife. You will be a great ruler and you have your husband by your side. Yugi will be by your side.”
Atemu sniffed and raised his head as he wiped away tears but there kept getting replaced. Aknamkanon opened his arms and Atemu shuffled up onto the bed and lay in his father’s arms. He didn’t care if he was 18years old and shouldn’t do it anymore but it was the last time he would be able to hugged his father freely. Aknamkanon wrapped his arms tightly around Atemu and hugged him close.
“I’ll miss you.” Atemu said.
“I know but you’ll see me again one day Atemu and I’ll look forward to seeing you then. But you must stay and rule till your time comes.”
Atemu nodded and just lay there.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Yugi turned to look at his grandfather, brother’s and Seth who were all walking to the dining hall. The council including Isis went to their quarters to rest, think or pray. Yugi looked at his grandfather who sat on a chair and sighed. Yugi gave a sad smile and walked around beside him and hugged him around the shoulders. Solomon leaned against him and held Yugi’s arms.
“Thanks Yugi.”
Yugi smiled sadly even though Solomon didn’t see it.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
After Yugi had something to eat he got a tray of food for Atemu before heading up to their chambers. Yugi entered and found Atemu still wasn’t there. Yugi placed the food down on the table in the room and sat down on the bed. He was worried on how it would affect Atemu. But he soon couldn’t stay awake long and soon fell asleep.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Yugi woke some time later to hear soft sobbing coming from within the room. Yugi sat up quickly and finding he had been covered up. Yugi climbed out and made his way towards the sound. Yugi found it was coming from the balcony and found Atemu standing there, head bowed and shoulders shaking.
“Atemu?”
Atemu stiffened slightly. “Go back to bed Little One.”
Yugi walked over and wrapped his arms around Atemu’s chest to comfort him. “I know how you feel Atemu it...” Yugi started but was cut off.
Atemu spun around dislodging Yugi and glaring down at him. “How could you know how I feel?” Atemu yelled out angrily.
Yugi took a step back in shock. “HOW COULD YOU STAY THAT? I LOST MY PARENTS TOO ATEMU! YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE I WOULD OPEN UP TO ABOUT IT! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO ME?” Yugi screamed back before running inside and threw himself on the bed and buried his face in his pillow.
Atemu froze and realised what he said. Atemu cursed and walked inside. He heard Yugi sobbing from the bed and knew what he said was so wrong. Atemu walked over and sat down beside him and touched his shoulders. He felt Yugi flinch and the sobbing stopped.
“Little One? Please I’m sorry. I’m just upset. I didn’t mean it, please speak to me.” Atemu whispered softly.
Yugi remained silent and unmoving. Atemu bowed his head and got up. He was losing his father and now he had gotten into a fight with Yugi. Atemu moved over to his side of the bed before slipping in and facing away from Yugi so that his back was to him. Atemu had tears falling from his eyes once again and sob escaped his throat.
Yugi felt Atemu lay down on his side of the bed. Yugi just didn’t understand how Atemu could say that. He just didn’t. Yugi heard a sob escape from Atemu and looked up. He saw Atemu’s back to him and his shoulders were shaking again. Yugi shuffled closer and wrapped his arms around him. He felt Atemu jump a little, before going limp. Yugi held him to his chest before rolling back over so that he was on his back and Atemu was half on his chest.
Atemu felt Yugi rolled them over and he was now against his back. Atemu moved slightly and Yugi’s arms loosened. Atemu rolled over onto his stomach and rested his head on Yugi’s stomach. Atemu laid a hand on Yugi’s chest and made circles there.
“I’m sorry Yugi. I didn’t mean it. I’m just angry and upset. I’m so sorry.”
“I know Atemu. I didn’t mean to scream like it did.” Yugi said softly.
“I’m still sorry Yugi.”
“It’s alright. I’m sorry about your father Atemu.”
Atemu smiled sadly and cried again. Yugi’s arms wrapped tightly around Atemu and held him close. Yugi knew how he felt and had his own tears fall. He had gotten to know Aknamkanon a little was sad to see him leaving. Yugi looked down at Atemu a little later to find that he’d cried himself to sleep. Yugi sighed sadly and brought his wings out and wrapped them around Atemu and himself seeing they were laying top of the comforter and he didn’t want to wake Atemu now that he was asleep.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Atemu woke slowly the next morning to find he was wrapped in Yugi’s arms and wings. He shifted slightly, curling up closer to Yugi who held him the entire night. Atemu remembered back to yesterday and was so upset again. His father for one was dying, two he wasn’t told and three he got angry with Yugi. Atemu tried to force back tears but it didn’t work and they fell slowly down his face. A few dripped onto Yugi’s skin.
Yugi’s eyes fluttered open when he felt the one in his arms move. Yugi looked down and saw Atemu was looking straight ahead and didn’t notice Yugi watching him. Yugi blinked and saw tears falling from Atemu’s eyes. Yugi’s eyes closed sadly and slowly before opening again.
“Atemu...” Yugi spoke softly.
Atemu looked up and saw Yugi looking at him sadly. Atemu bowed his head and hugged Yugi tightly. Yugi wrapped his arms tighter around him.
“Atemu look on the bright side. You can say goodbye to him. I couldn’t. At least it’s a natural death not murder.” Yugi spoke softly.
Small flashes of his parent’s murder flashed through his mind. Yugi shuddered and pushed it aside.
“Atemu you know you can talk to me right? I don’t want you to break down like I did. I was slowly killing myself. I couldn’t bare to lose you.”
Atemu sat up slightly and moved off Yugi and lay down next to him. He wrapped his arms around Yugi and Yugi did the same.
“You won’t lose me. Thankyou Yugi.”
“What for?”
“You talked some sense into me before something happened. Thankyou.”
Yugi smiled. “What sort of a husband would I be if I let something like that happen to you?”
“Not a good one. What sort of a husband would I be if I let myself die?”
“Not a smart one.” Yugi smiled and kissed him gently.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Yugi was heading up to the healing chamber. He had spoke to Atemu during breakfast and told him there might be a chance that he could heal his heart slightly but there was no promises. It would mean he could rule for longer and Atemu could learn more from his father. Both agreed that they should ask Aknamkanon first before doing anything else.
Yugi pushed the doors open to the healing chamber quietly and walked in. He looked over at Aknamkanon and saw he was sitting up slightly in bed and was just reading some scrolls. Yugi walked over quietly and Aknamkanon saw him. Yugi smiled and sat on the chair that was beside the bed.
“Hello Yugi what brings you here?”
“I was talking with Atemu and I might have a way to save you.”
