"Yugi, pass the ketchup, buddy...Yugi?... YUGI!"

Yugi managed a bewildered "Hmmph?" as his eyes snapped back into fo He He threw a
confused look in Joey's direction. "Wha...?"
"Aww, forget it."
Joey reached across to grab the bottle that Tristan held out to him. "You really gotta pull yourself
together, pal. You keep zoning out like that and Joey'll get your burger before you do!" Tristan
eyed Joey's overstuffed cheeks in disgust.
"What is it, Yugi? Are you still thinking about Yami?" Anzu moved to put an arm around the
shorter teen. "You know he's just doing what he thinks is best for his people," she said gently.
Yugi sighed. He'd been hearing the same arguments for the last few weeks, and he knew they
were right, but it couldn't fill the empty place in his mind that the Pharaoh had once occupied.
//Not to mention the place in my heart...// he thought sadly. He favored Anzu with a weak smile
and tried to turn his attention to his food but he wasn't hungry. Soe cae came around to ask
them if they needed anything else. Joey glanced at Anzu, who smiled and gave him a tiny nod.
Joey ordered a triple chocolate and caramel sundae with four spoons. The treat had never before
failed to bring his little friend out of a slump. The waiter cleared away Yugi's half-eaten dinner
and left, skilfully balancing the empty plates on one hand.

The four friends sat in silence, Yugi staring out the window, the others staring at Yugi. He had
been quiet and unresponsive since they had to leave Yami behind in Egypt three weeks
earlier. He continued to fiddle with his shirt, fingers restlessly seeking the puzzle which no
longer hung there. Anzu shook her head and sighed as she placed a firm hand over Yugi's
trembling ones. He gripped her fingers, still staring out into the street. Anzu thought she saw a
tear in the corner of one amethyst eye before it was hastily brushed away. The waiter returned,
placing a large covered dish in front of Yugi. With a little squeeze from Anzu, the diminutivueliuelist picked up his spoon. The four friends froze in astonishment as the cover was removed, for
there, glittering in the sunlight from the window, lay the completed Millennium Puzzle. Four
heads snapped over to stare in disbelief at the man who stood by their table. Tri-colored hair
framed crimson eyes that danced with merriment as he caught Yugi's disbelieving gaze. "Lose
something, Aibou?"

Anzu barely had time to react before Yugi scrambled over her lap and launched himself at his
other half. Yami's deep laugh filled his ears and he finally gave in to the tears which had been
threatening to fall for weeks. Yami wrapped his arms around his hikari and made soothing
noises, stroking the shorter boy's hair. Stunned looks slowly became wide grins. Yugi was
sobbing too hard to speak, so he settled for thought.
//Yami?//
/Yes, my light?/
//There's something I need to tell you. I was afraid before, but I may never get another chance,
and even if you don't feel the same way, I want you to know...//
He felt Yami smile. /Tell me, Yugi.../
//Yami, I...I love you.//
/As I have always loved you./
Feeling the start of surprise, Yami grinned, burying his face in Yugi's hair.
//You... you have? You mean you...//
The thought was interrupted by a wave of love, warmth and reassurance flowing through the
mind-link. Yugi was overwhelmed by the raw emotion he felt there and realised, for the first
time, that he was not the only one who had suffered since their separation. He felt a certain
warmth brush his lips and his eyes snapped open. A sweet smile lit up Yugi's face as he reached
up to pull his dark into another tender kiss. He opened his mouth to admit the questing tongue of
the Pharaoh and gave in to Yami's tender explorations. Breathless, they finally broke apart, Yugi
immediately burrowing his face into Yami's chest. Anzu sighed happily as she watched Yami
wrap his arms protectively around her friend. Joey jumped up and gathered a startled Yami and
Yugi into a rough embrace.
"I always knew youse guys were meant to be together!" he announced, his expression positively
gleeful. Blushing, the two lovers acknowledged their friends' good wishes. Yugi gazed lovingly
up at his other half. "Come on, Yami," he said softly as he slipped an arm aroundi'si's waist,
"Let's go home."

They led the way out into the street, waving to their friends as they went their separate ways.
Hand in hand, light and dark walked to the game shop. When they arrived, Yami opened the door
and playfully bowed Yugi through. Yugi giggled. "Shouldn't I be holding the door for you? You
are royalty, after all!"

Grampa Motou turned as he heard the bell above the door and was pleasantly surprised to see
who followed his grandson into the shop. "Well, well, well! Look who's back from the dead!" he
winked at Yami, ignoring his grandson's shocked expression. Grampa pulled Yami into a bear
hug, neatly cutting off the Pharaoh's oxygen supply. Releasing the breathless Pharaoh, the jovial
old man turned to his bewildered grandchild.
"So, I assume he'll be staying with us, then?" he inquired with a knowing smile. Yugi was
stunned at his grandfather's ready acceptance of Yami.
"If you don't mind, Grampa," he said tentatively.
"Why should I mind?" Soguroku chuckled. "If it will stop you from moping around like you have
been lately..." He smiled kindly as Yami slipped a supportive arm around Yugi's shoulders. "I
only want you to be happy, Yugi. No matter what, or who, it takes. Besides," he winked again, "I
could always use another pair of hands in the shop..." At this, he looked pointedly at Yami, who
grinned back.
"Of course, jii-chan," Yami chuckled, executing a graceful Egyptian bow, "I do intend to earn my
keep." Chuckling deeply, Grampa shooed them both up the stairs to the apartment above.
Shaking his head in mock disgust, he turned his smile to the customer who had just entered the
shop.

Upstairs, Yugi led Yami to his room and closed the door. "Ok, Yami. I think we need to talk."
Yami saw the questions in his hikari's eyes and nodded. "Where would you like to start, Aibou?"
"What are you doing here? I thought you were going to stay in Egypt and rule."
Yugi flopped down on his bed, putting his bac the the wall and bringing his knees up to his chin.
He looked deep into Yami's eyes. "What made you come back?"
"You," he said simply. Yami perched on the edge of the cluttered desk and leaned back, favoring
Yugi with a tender look. "And the fact that I finally convinced my councillors that this is where I
belong." He gave Yugi a quick run-down of what had transpired in the Egyptian court after he
had left. "So you see, if it wasn't for Shadi and Ishizu, I couldn't be here with you, fighting these
new evils from the front lines."
"So, Malik did escape after all," Yugi shook his head. "And there is still danger ahead."
"Yes, Aibou," Yami crossed the room and knelt next to the bed, taking his light's hands in his
own. "But we will face this danger as we always have... together." He smiled encouragingly and
was rewarded by a smile and a small squeeze of his hand.

Yami climbed onto the bed, arranging himself comfortably against the headboard before
beckoning to Yugi to join him. Light and dark cuddled together in the gathering twilight. Yugi
lay on his side, his head on Yami's shoulder, an arm draped over the other's torso. Yami stroked
his hikari's tri-colored hair, revelling in the feel of having him so close. /This feels so right,/ he
thought, pulling Yugi even closer. /It's never felt like this before. He really does complete me...
or maybe I complete him? Does it even matter?/
//All that matters, love, is that you're here with me, where you belong...//
Yami cupped Yugi's chin and tilted his head up so he could meet his gaze.
/Did I think that out loud?/
Yugi's smile was coy. //It's not my fault you project when you're excited.// Yami flushed with
embarrassment as he shifted uncomfortably. //Not that I'm complaining, mind you.//

Yugi moved up to straddle his dark, burying his hands into the spiky hair and drawing him into a
deep kiss. Yami opened his mouth as Yugi demanded entrance, their tes mes meeting and
engaging in a playful duel. It was a sweet defeat for the King of Games as he allowed Yugi to
dominate the embrace. He hadn't thought his light capable of such ardor and he gave in to it
blissfully. Yugi finally broke the kiss, running a hand down Yami's cheek, blazing a trail to the
belt around his throat. Yami's heart skipped a beat when he saw something in Yugi's amethyst
orbs that he had never expected to see, and certainly not directed at him. It was pure, unbridled
desire. Desire that radiated from every inch of the body now pressed so sweetly to his. A sob rose
in his throat, but he fought it down. /At last.../

Yugi slowly undid the buckle and drew the belt from Yami's neck, tossing it aside as he bent to
lay a trail of hot, wet kisses down the exposed flesh. Yami moaned in delight as Yugi's tongue
teased a particularly sensitive point just below his jaw. Continuing his slow assault on Yami's
clothing, Yugi undid each buckle one at a time, touching and teasing him through the fabric of
the dark jersey beneath. When the last strap had been tossed aside, Yami gasped as Yugi claimed
a nipple through the soft cotton, sucking softly and leaving a damp spot on the fabric as he gave
his attention to the other taut peak. Yugi paused long enough in his ministrations to pull the
jersey up over Yami's head and toss it onto the growing pile of garments on the floor. He slowly
ran his hands across the sculpted torso of his lover, bending to continue his devastating
tongue-play across Yami's chest. Yami felt the heat in his groin intensify as Yugi dipped his
tongue into his navel. He placed his hands on Yugi's shoulders, shamelessly pushing him lower.
The smaller boy obliged, unbuckling the last belt from Yami's hips and peeling off the leather
pants, leaving the Pharaoh gloriously naked. He backback for a moment to admire his handiwork.
His yami's skin glowed in the light of the full moon which streamed in from the window as he lay
before his lover, breathing ragged and crimson eyes wild with passion. "Gods, Yami... you're so
beautiful..."

Yami's response became a gasp as Yugi took him in his mouth. His sight went dark as Yugi
established a slow rhythm, red-tipped hair brushing Yami's flat stomach with his every move.
"Yugi, I... I can't... oh, love...yesss..." Yugi increased the friction by running his teeth along
Yami's length, causing his lover to arch his back and cry out, thrusting himself deeper into the
moist warmth that surrounded him. Suddenly, the darkness exploded into light and Yami cried
out his release, coming hard into his hikari's mouth. Yugi swallowed eagerly as Yami fell back
against the headboard, gasping for breath, eyes shut in ecstasy.

Yugi raised his head, looking up at his yami as he tried to bring oxygen to his deprived lungs. He
took the opportunity, while his lover recovered, to remove his own clothes and curl up next to
him on the bed. Yami's breathing slowly returned to normal. He opened his eyes to see Yugi
looking up at him, his naked body pressed to Yami's own. Yugi's eyes widened as Yami's face
suddenly lit up with a wicked grin. He deftly flipped the smaller boy onto his back, eliciting a
small giggle. Still grinning, he gazed down at his light, spread so deliciously before him. Yugi
smiled back nervously. //Yami... what are you up to?//
Yami's grin widened as he decided to toy with him a bit. /Just contemplating my revenge.../
//Uh-oh...//
/Uh-oh, indeed./

Yami scanned the room, his eyes finally locking on something interesting. His lips formed a
playfully evil smirk. /Let's play a game, shall we?/
He quickly rose from the bed, striding over to the open door of the closet. If he had seen what he
thought... Yes, that was it. He returned to his curious lover, clutching a furry brown glove
adorned with small green claws at the fingertips. It was a remnant of the costume that Anzu had
tried to get Yugi into last Halloween. Yugi arched an eyebrow and cast a doubtful look on this
strange accessory. Chuckling evilly, Yami quickly turned his light onto his stomach, then,
straddling his legs, proceeded to draw the sharp claws sensually across the other's smooth back.
Yugi giggled. //I should've known you'd be the kinky type, Yami// he teased as the other drew
the claws across his shoulders, causing little sparks to dance along his spine.
/Actually, this would be considered by some to be erotic, my light.../ Yami leaned down to
whisper sensually into his lover's ear, the smirk evident in his voice. "Kinky would be using the
whole Kuriboh."
Yugi snickered helplessly into his pillow. Yami drew a single claw up along his spine and
smirked again as the action caused the boy beneath him to emit a sound that an an uncanny
imitation of the furry duel monster.

At length, Yami tossed the glove aside to attack Yugi's back with a barrage of kisses, his tongue
blazing a glistening trail down to his buttocks. Yugi writhed at the sudden change, gasping as
Yami moved up to torture his earlobe with tongue and teeth, still kneading the soft mounds of
flesh beneath him. Finally managing to squirm around so that he faced his lover, he saw the need
written all over Yami's face, felt it in the desperate way that Yami clung to him. /Aibou... I need
you... please.../
Gazing into the eyes of darkness, the hikari nodded. //Take me, Yami.//
Yami gave him a searching look, determined not to push his light further than he wanted, despite
the growing pressure in his groin. Seeing his hesitatiYugiYugi sent all of his love and trust along
the mind-link. //I know it's supposed to hurt. I trust you. I love you. And, I need you, too...//
Yami saw his own need reciprocated in the amethyst depths of Yugi's eyes. He leaned forward,
running his fingers along the sweet, kiss-swollen lips. Yugi drew a finger into his mouth, sucking
hungrily. Yami replaced the finger with his tongue, drawing his light into another tender kiss.
Yugi gasped against his lips as he felt tuddeudden small intrusion. He writhed in ecstasy as
Yami's fingers encountered a particularly sensitive spot. //Oh, gods, Yami!... Please... take me
now, take me now!//
Yami chuckled inwardly at Yugi's fervor. Settling himself between his spread legs, he slowly
teased the tip of his length along Yugi's inner thigh. Yugi squirmed with impatience as Yami
continued to move his fingers in and out, wanting to prolong the other's pleasure as much as
possible. Finally, with Yugi on the brink of tearing his pillow to shreds from sheer frustration,
Yami gave into his own passion, pushing himself into his lover inch by delicious inch. Yugi cried
out as he felt himself filled, eyes tearing against the momentary pain but relishing the sensation
of having Yami inside him at last. His breath came in hot pants as Yami moved inside him,
touching that spot that made his eyes glaze over in ecstasy. He felt Yami lean over him, his hands
digging into his hips, lifting them to meet his thrusts. He was slowly losing control, lost in the
vortex of emotion and sensation that was flowing through the mind-link. He could feel Yami's
every movement as though it were his own. He felt Yami's pleasure as he plunged into the moist
darkness, even as he himself rose up to meet those thrusts. The dark spirit worked them to a
frantic pace, teeth clenched against the waves of pleasure washing over him, pleasure that was
not only his own... Knowing that he was nearing his peak, he looked down at the boy writhing
beneath him. Yugi's eyes, which had been closed in bliss, snapped open. Rubies and violets
smoldered together as their gazes met and held. //Ya...mi...! Don't... stop...don't... stop...!!!//
Yugi chanted in Yami's mind, eliciting a grunt from the taller man as he increased the breakneck
pace. One hand reached between their sweat-drenched bodies to grasp Yugi's erection, pumping
it in time with his thrusts. Gazes still locked, they flew over the precipice together, each finding
in the other's eyes the paradise so long denied. Yugi screamed his release, his small frame
shuddering with the pleasurable shocks coursing through his body and coming hard over Y's
's
hand. Yami collapsed on top of him, breathing ragged and spent.

They lay quietly for some time, waiting for their breath to catch up with them, their two souls
melting into one. Yami finally roused enough to withdraw his slick body from Yugi's, causing
his other to moan at the loss. Propping himself once more against the headboard, the Pharaoh
gathered his light into his embrace. Looking down at his hikari, Yami smiled at the satisfied,
blissful expression on his sweet face. /I was a fool to leave. Never again. I need him. I love him.
Aibou, I swear on my own tomb, I will never be so foolish again./
//You're right... you were a fool// came the sleepy thought.
/Eavesdropping again, love?/ Yami mock frowned at the boy now curled against his side, tousled
head of tri-colored hair resting on his shoulder.
//No, you're just projecting again.//
The Pharaoh smirked. /Well, I am a bit distracted, Aibou./
//Oh? Anything I can do about that?// Yami chuckled. Yugi seemed wide awake all of a sudden.
//Maybe you're not the only one who's distracted, my dark.// Yugi reached over and pulled
himself up until he was straddling the dark spirit. His eyes took on a feral gleam as he ran his
hands down the smooth planes of Yami's chest. Tangling his fingers into the Pharaoh's hair, he
pulled him into a crushing kiss, his tongue demanding and gaining admittance. He reluctantly
pulled back, nuzzling Yami's earlobe. Sighing contentedly, he reclined into his lover's embrace,
eyelids fluttering as sleep overtook him. Yami smiled at the small whisper of thought he heard as
he joined his love in slumber.
//Now, my Pharaoh, the puzzle is complete...//
