The Pharoah and Prince's Lover chapter 4:
"Yugi!! Malik!! We're over here!!" A tall, lightly tanned blond yelled and waved at the two as they entered the school yard. Yugi smiled and waved back to his friend Joey, while Malik rolled his eyes at theover excited blond. Yugi saw this and nudged Malik with his elbow to get his attention and gave him a look. "Behave." he said quietly and Malik rolled his eyes again but nodded. Joey and Malik were known to get into fights, especially when it was early in the morning and Malik was still not entirely used to the climate and time zone in Japan. Malik had only moved from Egypt a year ago, and even though he had visited Japan from time to time as a kid, Malik seemed to enjoy the hot desert of Egypt instead of the different climate changes in Japan.
When Yugi and Malik were closer, they both grinned as they saw their white haired friend talking to Joey, probably something about the plan to meet up after school. The white haired male was known as Ryou, with pale skin like Yugi's, but had round chocolate doe eyes. If you listened close enough, you could hear a slight accent in his voice, having lived in Britain when he was little before moving to Japan. He was pretty fluent in Japanese, like Malik, though sometimes both their accents would slip in without them noticing. Although it was pretty funny when Joey would slip up and his Brooklyn accent merged with his Japanese, some of the words turning to English and the conversation sounding strange. They greeted each other before starting to walk into the school, Joey swinging arm around Yugi's shoulder and nooging him slightly with his other hand.
"So, you guys coming to the arcade after school today? or is Jii-san and Ishizu-san coming back today?" Joey asked as he tried to noogie Yugi some more, but the tricolored teen escaping the hold and going to the other side of Malik. "Yeah, we're coming, but we won't be able to stay long, we have to open the shop. Jii-san and Ishizu-oneechan had to stay a little longer, said something about finding a lost tomb, or whatever. " Malik said, shrugging slightly. Both him and Yugi were used to them not coming home because of something someone found at the last minute. Solomon had decided a while back that while his sister and he were away, it would be better if he and Yugi stayed in their house, which included minding the game shop and keeping the house clean while Solomon was away. Plus, they wouldn't be all alone and would be able to walk together to school, Ishizu making a point at all the times Malik was late for school because she wasn't there.
Joey pouted slightly but nodded. "Alright, we'll meet you guys out front after school. See ya!!" he said before heading off in the direction of his homeroom, Malik sighing before heading after him, knowing they had homeroom together. Ryou and Yugi waved goodbye to their friends before heading off to their homeroom, both of them hoping that Malik and Joey would behave.
~Timeskip to lunch (because I'm being lazy :-P)~
Everyone was sitting by the tree, Malik and Joey arguing back and forth while Ryou and Yugi sat there quietly eating their lunch. Ryou and Yugi usually stopped a fight between Malik and Joey, but they had not been quick enough and before they knew it, a full out argument was going on. As long as a fight didn't break out, they would let them yell at each other all they wanted. A few times it looked like they were going to fight, but it soon relapsed back into the argument before either of them had gotten up. This argument had been going on for at least ten minutes, both Malik and Joey's lunches laying untouched. Yugi took a sip from his water bottle, watching the two fight for a moment before turning to Ryou, something having been on his mind since he had woken up that morning.
"Ryou..... I had another dream." Yugi said, ignoring the two that were still arguing and knowing it wouldn't be done any time soon. Ryou looked at Yugi in concern and tilted his head. "The same as last time?" he asked and Yugi shook his head. the white haired male sighing.
"What happened this time? Was it like the other? Where you were dying?" he asked again and this time Yugi hesitated before shaking his head again. "No, it was the same place, but.... it was different, as if no one knew what was going to happen." he said softly, Ryou putting a comforting hand on Yugi's shoulder.
"We're.... we there again?" he asked, having noticed the other two's argument quiet down but ignored them as Yugi nodded. "Yes, but it was the same as the last few dreams. I called out to you guys, but I couldn't hear what I was saying to you." he said and Ryou patted his shoulder, letting Yugi know he didn't have to say any more if he didn't want to. Yugi smiled slightly at Ryou before looking at the other two who were now staring at him and Ryou. Malik stared at Yugi, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Why didn't you tell us sooner, Yugi? We're your best friends!!! You could have told us earlier and maybe we could have helped." he said, but Yugi shook his head.
"Malik, they were only dreams. Maybe I'm having them because Jii-san has been gone longer than the last few times and I'm worried. Don't worry, I'm sure once he's home, the dreams will stop, just as they always have." he said and smiled at his friends, ending the discussion there and everyone getting back to their lunches. Yugi finished his lunch first and got up, telling his friends he was going to his locker to grab his books for his next class. As he walked there, the dream came back and he sighed slightly, glad he hadn't told them the other part of the dream. It was embarrassing and he could feel his face heat up just thinking about it.
Darkness. That's all there was around him. Shadows curling around him protectively, almost in an embrace and he gladly accepted the small comfort. But then everything shifted. Heat. Lust. Arousal. Yugi panted and squirmed in the darkness's embrace, feeling smooth skin brushing against his own. When he opened his eyes, not realizing he had closed them, he was shocked to see two pairs of eyes boring into him, as if those stares were branding him. Crimson.
The color making him shiver, almost as if he recognized those eyes and slightly in unknown fear, wondering how he knew those eyes. He winced, feeling his stomach burn and he clutched onto it, whimpering slightly in pain and wishing the pain would go away. Cold shadows wrapped around him again, but this time slipping under his arms to touch the burning skin and gasping as the heat started to cool, making him relax once again in the shadows embrace. Yugi could still feel those crimson eyes watching him, but it felt more like they were watching over him, protecting him in his dreams. Yugi shook his head, trying to snap out of his thoughts, noticing he had already reached his locker. He sighed slightly, touching the mark on his stomach over his clothes, wondering what it meant, before letting his hand drop from his belly and grabbing what he needed from his locker and closing it. He walked on to his next class, trying to shake off the dream and focus on getting through the rest of the day.
