For Me

Well, here we go again. I’d like to thank Lightanddarkness for her quick
betareading (bows low to floor) And thanx to those who reviewed, and those who read this. I actually have about 1,000 hits! OMG! That’s pretty good for not thinking that anyone would even read this. Short note: I’m so tired, I can’t even think straight. Even though I’m not working on cars anymore, my new job is still 10 hour days. This is going to be a long story. And probably slow in some parts, so if my writings not up to par, please tell me.


‘Great, two people after my ass in one day. Lucky me’ Yugi thought.

“I don’t think that this story is anywhere near the truth.” Atemu said from his place in the corner.

He walked over and grabbed two students by their collars, dragging them over to the principal.

‘What I happened to see, was these two throwing food at Mr. Motou. One of them missed, hitting the big guy over there, resulting in this food fight.”

“Is this true?” O’Meara turned to Seto.

“Yes, I saw it as well.” Both Seto and Jou nodded.

“Connolly, Nelson, my office now!” the principal barked at the two delinquents. “I’ll deal with you two in a minute. Be gone!”

“Motou, go get some more food. I’ll get someone to clean this up” He said to Yugi. Then he walked away.

Yugi’s knees were quaking. ’Was it over?’ He thought he was going to pass out.

“Thank you for stepping in. No one’s ever done that before.” He said quietly.

“Told ya we wouldn’t let anything happen to ya.” Jou responded. “Now do you believe me?”

Yugi nodded.

Just then a familiar face caught his eye.

“Ryou? Ryou! Malik!” Yugi ran over to his friends. “I thought that you guys were gone. You both just disappeared last year. I really missed you.”

Yugi grabbed Ryou in a big hug; Malik hugged him too, catching Yugi in the middle.

“We had to go visit relatives who thought they wanted to take us in. Well, after about ten months of things breaking or mysteriously vanishing, they decided that that wasn’t the case.” Malik explained.

“Ryou, you stole?!” Yugi asked.

“Well, we couldn’t just leave you here by yourself, could we?” Ryou answered. “It was the only way to get them to send us back.”

There was something decidedly off about their explanation, but Yugi shrugged it off, just happy to be with his friends. He went to the bathroom to clean himself up, and then joined his friends to eat. As it turned out, Jou and the others were already acquainted with Ryou and Malik, having met them the night before.

The group spent the day together doing whatever they felt like doing. Yugi was beginning to feel more at ease than he had in a long time. Every once in a while one of his new friends would say something off the wall. This would result in a glaring contest between one or more of them.

After lunch, the group was playing video games in Malik and Ryou’s room. Yugi looked up at the clock and squeaked.

“I’ve got to go. I have a uh, an appointment at one. I’ll be back in an hour.”

Atemu looked at him.” Where are you going to? I will escort you. I don’t like the way that senior looked at you earlier.”

“No! Uh, no that’s okay. It’s just t-tutoring; I’ll be okay by myself.” Yugi stuttered, bolting out the door.
Jou looked over at Atemu,” I’ve got it covered. Don’t worry.”

Then he took off after Yugi.

Atemu knew that his betrothed was in good hands. But, he couldn’t keep from worrying about the little one. In the short time he had known Yugi; he didn’t strike him as the type to lie. But he did, just then. And Atemu wanted to know why.

Jou reported back, after following the boy.

“He went to the healing ward, I mean infirmary. I don’t know what happened, but when he came out; you could tell he’d been crying. Then he went up to your room.”

With that, Atemu and Seto shared a look.

Within the hour, Yugi came back saying that his tutoring was over. He was quiet and solemn, only joining in the conversation when prompted. Eventually, the group decided to head down for dinner. This time nothing bad happened to Yugi.

At lights out, they all said good night and headed to their rooms. Each was nervous about the coming morning.


The next morning, everyone was up early, rushing around with last minute details. They quietly made their way through breakfast. It was the first day of the school year.

“My name is Atemu Hasan. I’ll be teaching English Lit, junior year. I trust that you will all take your seats quietly each morning, and be prepared for class.” Atemu addressed his new class.

Sighs and giggles were heard throughout the room as the students got their first good look at their new teacher. Many of the girls were looking over at their friends to see if they were all thinking the same thing. ‘This man is HOT!’

Their new teacher was feeling very nervous. Yes, he had spoken to crowds of people, but this was a new experience for him. Added to the fact that teachers also wore a school uniform, to blend in. The prince was used to wearing leather, not this itchy, uncomfortable uniform.

He outlined the schedule and answered some of the students’ questions. Then came the roll call. Atemu knew that Ryou, Jou, Malik and Yugi were in his morning classes, but one name (and face) concerned him.


“Mr. Ushio, may I speak with you?”

Ushio lumbered up to his desk, bullish expression on his face. He answered the question that Atemu hadn’t even had the chance to ask.

“Yea, I failed last year, what’s it to ya?” Ushio grumbled in a loud voice.

Out of the corner of his eye, Atemu saw Yugi slide down in his seat a little further. Atemu glared back at the massive block of student in front of him

“Any problems from you, and I’ll make you wish you had never met me! No picking on others, starting fights, anything. Understood?” He hissed.

Ushio just smiled at him and lumbered back to his seat behind Yugi, dropping a piece of paper on the little one’s desk.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. The group gathered again for their meals in the cafeteria. Yugi was quiet and watchful. The prince figured that something was wrong. But he didn’t think that the time was right to bring it up, so he sat back and watched the boy.

After school, when most students went outside to wander the grounds, Yugi darted up to his room. Atemu followed.

“Is there anything that you want to talk about, little one? You seem a little stressed out. Did someone bother you today?” Atemu asked.

“Why does my being quiet have to do with how others treat me? Maybe I just didn’t have anything to say.” Yugi snapped.

Although he felt safe when the other was near, Yugi didn’t want to get close to him. What with the weird sexual dreams he was having about his teacher/roommate. He was so confused, and it was coming out in frustrated comments to the other.

Yugi walked into the bedroom and slammed the door.

The trend continued for weeks. Yugi would try his best to avoid both Atemu and Ushio. Both for different reasons. On Fridays, he would go for his ‘tutoring’ as he called it to his friends.

‘What is wrong with me, I hear his voice everywhere, I’m addicted to his scent, see his eyes in my dreams. Oh and don’t forget. I let him do ‘that’ to me in the rest of my dreams. I really need to find a girlfriend. Then maybe I’ll stop dreaming about my roommate. Though, he is quite sexy!”

Yugi smacked himself in the head. It wasn’t doing him any good to go over this constantly. And now the others were giving him odd looks. Oops, he forgot that he was at Ryou and Malik’s

To pull their thoughts to something else, he quickly said “I think that something is wrong with Atemu. He’s been stressed out ever since O’Meara gave him some more material to go over. That was last week. It’s been getting worse. Today, well, he just looked awful. I think he might be getting sick or something.”

“Sick how?” Asked Seto.

“Well he looks flushed and has dark circles under his eyes.” Yugi added.

Seto stood up and stalked to the door. “I’ll be back; I’m going to try to talk some sense into him.”

With that, he walked out of the room. Yugi felt bad, like he had ratted Atemu out. Mumbling apologies, he left the room to see if he could smooth the situation over between those two.

As he got closer to his room, he heard muffled voices in loud conversation.

“I told you I’m not dealing with this shit”

“And I told you not to touch me. So we’re even.”

“I don’t care what lame excuse you give, this is just getting worse. You were doing so much better, now I don’t know.”

“Leave it, Seto. I’m trying to deal with it in my own way.”

“Then deal with it already. We should have taken you both back home and had the ceremony as soon as we found out he was alive. No one would be able to touch either of you then.”

“I’ll not force this on him, and that’s final! He knows nothing about it…”

Yugi hated eavesdropping, so he opened the door. “Hi guys, what’s up?”

The other two looked at him as he walked into the room, Seto with a glare, Atemu with a frown on his face.

“I can come back later if you aren’t done talking.” He said

“No, it’s alright. We’re finished.” Atemu aimed a glare at his cousin.

“Fine, just do it and quit stressing over it. He’ll eventually get used to the idea.” Seto shot back on his way out.

Atemu shook his head at him, to which Seto replied by slamming the door. Walking over to the window, he put his hands on the sill and sighed.

“Are you okay?” Yugi asked.

“I’m fine little one. It’s time for bed.” Atemu answered.


The next morning at the beginning of class, Atemu made an announcement. “I need you to put your books away. We won’t be using them this week.”

Quiet cheers were heard around the room.

“Instead we’re going to work from these handouts.”

Most of the students groaned at that comment. As their teacher passed out the worksheets, a lot of the students could tell that he was uncomfortable with the material. He had handed them to the students and then stood at the front of the room fiddling with the jacket on his uniform.

As soon as he told the class to turn over the booklets, giggles were heard throughout the class.

“Yes, yes, laugh it up. I was told to teach you guys sex ed. Ha ha. I don’t even know why they would ask me. So, I’ve decided to teach it my way, which means it’ll be a big Q&A. What we’re going to start with…Alright, let’s just get this out of the way. What’s so funny?” he asked, glaring around the room.

Some of the wiser students quit laughing and started fidgeting in their seats at his tone.

“Well?”

A hand shot up in the middle of the room.

“Well, what we’re laughing about is, uh, that um, maybe some people don’t know about sex but, uh, most of us already do. We were, well, I was thinking that, uh, maybe you should teach this to the fa-uh, I mean people who don’t know, and let us go to the library.” Anton answered, his eyes sliding to Yugi during his comment.

Atemu smirked at him, baring his teeth. “Very well Anton, you and whoever else figures that they know it all, have a pass straight to the principal’s office. Goodbye.”

He jerked a thumb towards the door.

Anton paled. Then he got up and took the note that Atemu handed him and walked out, head down. No one else said a word.

“Shall we continue? “ He asked the class. “Since the subject was brought up, I guess I should ask. Is anyone in here even a virgin, or are you all as knowledgeable as Anton said you were?”

‘This would be a good way to find out about my little one.’ Atemu thought.

Very few hands went up around the room. Yugi slumped forward in his seat. Of fifteen students, only three raised their hands, him included.

Ushio snickered softly behind him. ”That’s because you’re a fag, Motou.”

“What’s so funny, Ushio?” Atemu glared icily.

“I was just commenting with Yugi, here, on sexual preferences. He said he likes guys.” Ushio smirked

The whole class exploded with laughter. Yugi, red-faced, eyes down, sunk so low in his seat that his head was level with the desk.

“Is that so?” Atemu growled, eyes narrowing. “You’ve just gotten yourself a date with Principal O’Meara. I’ll let him deal with you. I don’t think you want me to do it. I’ve had just about enough of your shit. You want to be an asshole, do it elsewhere!”

Atemu snatched Ushio up by his collar. Regardless of height difference, Atemu was quite the imposing figure, with his crimson eyes flashing and shadows swirling around him. Just then, he blinked, coming back to his senses. Dragging the helpless bully with him, he hit the intercom on his desk and let them know that they would be receiving a visitor and why. Then he unceremoniously tossed the man out the door, slamming it behind him.

“Any other comedians?” He hissed.

He waited for a minute, pacing the classroom to calm down. Then he said, “Yes, you can laugh, this is an uncomfortable topic, and if laughing helps ease the tension, then go ahead and do so. But I will not tolerated laughter at the expense of another. That is just rude. Back to business, today we’ll cover the different types of sex and ways to be safe.”

“Yugi, sit up, its okay now.” He paused at the little one’s desk and rubbed his back.

Yugi nodded and sat up straight, but his eyes didn’t leave the floor.

Atemu continued pacing around the classroom. “Okay, who can tell me the definition of sex…, and what consensual verses nonconsensual sex is…?”

Ryou raised his hand slowly. He definitely knew what sex was and the differences between con. And non-con.

“I believe that sex is the process inserting one’s sexual organ into one of the orifices of another’s body. And consensual is both parties consenting to sex, nonconsensual is when one of the parties is forced into sex.” Ryou said quietly.

“Very good, Ryou. Now, I have some more questions for you. Can anyone name the various ways to have sex? And tell me the difference between heterosexual verses homosexual verses bisexual.” Atemu continued, his face growing red.

This time a girl at the front raised her hand.

Atemu nodded at her.
“There are three ways to have sex. Th-the first is orally, the sec-second is vaginally, and the th-third is a-anally.” She said, blushing to the roots of her blonde hair.

“Right, so what about the other question?” He asked.

Malik raised his hand. “Heterosexual is liking people of the opposite sex, homosexual is liking people of the same sex, and bi is liking people of both sexes.” Then he dropped a bombshell. “I am gay, it means I like guys.”

Malik was grinning when he sat back down. He was waiting for the class to get over its shock.

Many heads were turned in his direction. Some were snickering, although very quietly. Malik could be quite the hellcat when he wanted to be. Some of the girls sighed, knowing that one of the sexy guys in their class was now considered unavailable.

“O-okay, that was a little too personal, but good for you, Malik. No one should be ashamed of who they are.” Atemu glanced at his little one to see his reaction to Malik’s comment, but Yugi’s head was down, so he couldn’t tell.

“Jou and Ryou announced their sexuality not long after.

“Settle down, I know the girls are mourning the loss of some of your dream guys, but we need to move on. Class is almost up, and we still need to cover safety.”

Yugi couldn’t believe it. All three of his friends had just admitted to being bi or gay. ‘Did that mean that he was gay, too?’ he thought to himself. ‘No! Not possible.’

He wished that he could figure it out. Then maybe the pain in his neck and shoulders would go away. He’d been so tense lately, that it seemed to hurt constantly. He was pretty sure it was just stiff muscles.

Between constantly questioning his sexuality, and Ushio waiting to catch him without his friends, he was pretty tense.

The bell signaled the end of class, and Yugi gathered his books and slipped out the door. He needed some time to think.

Days grew into weeks and the weather turned colder. Before they all knew it, it was time for winter break. This was the time when those with families, returned home, and those over fifteen, with trust funds, left the grounds. That meant that most of the junior floor was empty. Besides the group of friends, only two or three others remained.

Malik and Ryou, more so Malik, decided to host a party on the third night that everyone was gone. Bakura had even been coerced into getting certain illegal drinks for them.

As the night wore on, Yugi stood over in the corner watching his friends. They all seemed to be having a good time. And he was betting that Jou and Seto’s relationship had nothing to do with brotherly affection. Certainly not after the way those two were dancing together.

Ryou saw him standing in the corner and approached him with a cup of punch.

“You want to talk about it?” He questioned Yugi.

“There’s not much to talk about, Ryou. I just have too many thoughts wandering around in my head, nothing’s clear to me anymore. I used to know who I was, now I’m not so sure. By the way, what do you know about Atemu? He’s saved my ass so many times this year. But I get the feeling that there’s more to him than what I’m seeing.” Yugi said as he shook his head.

He took a sip of punch and made a face. “What is this stuff? It tastes kinda funky.”

“It’s Malik’s special recipe. It’ll help loosen you up a little. You’ve not quite been yourself lately.” Ryou commented.

It did loosen him up. In fact, two glasses later, Yugi was in the middle of the small floor dirty dancing with Jou.

Ryou walked over to Atemu with a gleam in his eyes. “I know that you’ve been waiting for him to come around, but he’s not going to do it without some persuasion from you. The only thing he knows is human rules. Women and men are together. Same sex relationships are highly discouraged. I got him to loosen up a bit; it’s up to you to do the rest, your highness.”

Atemu nodded. He took a minute to set his own punch on the table before sauntering out to where Yugi was dancing with Jou. Leveling a look at Jou, he took his place, dancing with his little one.

Yugi was having the time of his life. When Jou asked him to dance, he let slip that he had never tried before. That prompted the older boy to teach him how. It seemed so easy now. Just moving your body to the beat.

He was enjoying the music, when arms encircled his waist from behind, and a pair of hips ground up against his backside. He jumped, not expecting someone that close behind him.

“Easy little one, I thought you might need a partner, considering your first partner took off on you.” Atemu whispered in his ear.

Atemu nipped his ear gently, grinding his hips into Yugi’s once again. Yugi shuddered at the feeling. This was like his dream. Hands wandered his stomach, finding all of the sensitive spots. Yugi had never felt this way before. He was so hard, it almost hurt.

Swaying against each other to the music, he leaned his head back against the taller one’s shoulder, giving him access to his neck and shoulders. Atemu started kissing down his ear all the way to his collar bone, where he nipped gently at the skin, before soothing it with his tongue. Yugi’s hands wandered to Atemu’s backside, kneading and grabbing. Atemu spun him around and captured his lips in a demanding kiss.

Yugi gasped as he felt the other’s tongue on his bottom lip. That gave Atemu access to his mouth. His tongue slipped inside to taste and feel. He coaxed the little one’s tongue into a battle with his own. Eventually, he broke the kiss. This had to be finished elsewhere, they didn’t need an audience.

“Let’s head back to our room, little one. We have some unfinished business to take care of…, that doesn’t require witnesses.” Atemu said as he picked Yugi up.
