The Nameless Pharaoh

“I understand, I forget these things sometimes.” She whispered, laying her head softly against his chest. She listened to the rhythmic beating of his heart. With her index finger, she traced patterns over his skin, a feeling of peace washed over her as she began to relax into a sense of belonging with the Pharaoh. “It’s odd…” She said softly “To think that ever since I was little, this is all Ive ever dreamed of.”

“Really? You’ve always dreamed of being with the pharaoh or being with me?” he asked curiously. “and dont say they’re the same thing…” The breeze was making him drowsy and Mana’s warm body on top of his wasnt helping at all. He felt like he was going to start snoozing soon

“Being with you, Atem. Status has never bothered me. When I came here, I was nothing and yet you treated me like royalty. I have loved you for years Atem… Have you been unable to see it for so long?” She pressed a gentle kiss to his neck and toyed with a few strands of his golden bangs. “Mahaad will tell you, I’d never shut up about you…To me, even without status, you are perfect” she smiled softly, glancing up at him, her eyes meeting his.

Atemu smiled and stroked her hair. “i never really liked the concept of classes. I think everyone should be treated equally, with the king being only a bit above the rest, not this huge gap that there is now”

Reluctant Rescue

Yami merely grinned and when Jou caught up to him and Honda, leaned over and poked the red mark on his forehead. “Boop” he grinned as Honda looked and laughed, “What the hell did you do to yourself?” he asked in amusement

"I understand, I forget these things sometimes." She whispered, laying her head softly against his chest. She listened to the rhythmic beating of his heart. With her index finger, she traced patterns over his skin, a feeling of peace washed over her as she began to relax into a sense of belonging with the Pharaoh. "It’s odd…" She said softly "To think that ever since I was little, this is all Ive ever dreamed of."

“Really? You’ve always dreamed of being with the pharaoh or being with me?” he asked curiously. “and dont say they’re the same thing...” The breeze was making him drowsy and Mana’s warm body on top of his wasnt helping at all. He felt like he was going to start snoozing soon

Atemu chuckled softly and traced over her sides again. “I’m far from perfect. I pale in comparison to you….except for maybe hair color.” he replied with a smile before giving her a light kiss. “I love you too. and also, Mahaado knew of my intent to ask to court you. He’s been trying to help me get up the nerve to ask you.”

"Really? You didn’t have the nerve to ask me? But I am a humble servant to you my dearest Pharaoh. And surely you must know that all the ladies in Egypt want to court you, anyone would be lucky to be asked. Im surprised Mahaad didn’t let it slip to me, he’s not normally so good at hiding things." She smirked and pressed a kiss to his lips, the red hue highlighting her cheeks making her seem somewhat flustered in the light. Her eyes alight with love and affection for her lover.

“I....im not really good with admitting my feelings. I get so shy about things especially because im taught to be stoic as pharaoh and its hard still to switch that on and off.

Yami purred, his eyes fluttering happily before his ears perked forwards at the voice. "oh no...its you..."

"Yugi, Im well used to the looks, i dont mind if you stare," he assured with a smile "because i know that once you grow accustomed to it you naturally wont stare anymore." Here his look became thoughtful. "as for the others...i know of several but i wont begin to say that i know all of them."

"Good evening," Atemu replied, his tail swishing idly. "I take it you’re looking for your bonded one?" he asked curiously

Atemu followed his line of sight and chuckled before lifting his long slender tail to essentially wave the tip at him as if it were another hand. "Yes, Im an odd one of the bunch of pharaohs that run around in this world. For reasons that only the gods know, i was born with this tail and my ears like a cat's. In Egypt i was called the son of Bast on top of being the living Horus." he explained

Yami got up and tentatively approached the dragon and laid a gentle kiss on the top of his head before scratching behind his crest gently, knowing Slifer tended to love that. "When you figure it out my friend, let me know."

"Good evening," Atemu replied, his tail swishing idly. "I take it you're looking for your bonded one?" he asked curiously

Yami lifted his hips before blinking at the question. “In this body? Ummm….Ive never been.” he admitted softly

Yami blushed brightly at that. "S-shut up! its not like you ever thought this would happen either."
