Chapter 3: A True Seventh Heaven

The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

--Brian Tracy

It was common for Yugi to be found early in the morning curled up and tangled in his blankets, usually nudged awake by the sun or, at one time, his loving grandfather.

He didn't want to get used to the fact that his grandfather would no longer be there to awaken him in the morning, with a wide smile on his wrinkled face and open arms in a ready waiting hug for him, but he had to.

Now he had something else to get used to. Waking up in the morning, with warm arms wrapped around his small form protectively, a pair of legs tangled in his own possessively and warm breath hitting his forehead soothingly. With a content sigh, he snuggled against the bare chest before him. This would be something he had no problem getting used to.

Opening his eyes lazily, he stared into shut scarlet orbs with glistening violet ones. Smiling, Yugi gently stroked Yami's bare cheek, his smile widening as the once Pharaoh leaned into the touch with a forming smile of his own.

Giving him a light kiss on the cheek, Yugi removed himself from Yami's possessive embrace, carefully climbing out of the bed and tip toeing gently out of the room.

There was a light chuckle from him before he shut the door, leaving no proof that the little angel was ever there.

Yami's nose scrunched up in unpleasant realisation.

Something...wrong...

Tossing over, Yami grasped in vain at invisible light and warmth, grasped in vain at the heat that was no longer there.

Something...missing...

Giving a groan, he lifted his eyelids with great difficulty, blinking to regain focus in his vivid jewel like eyes. Holding his head, Yami looked around the room. "Yugi...?"

Seeing him missing, the scarlet eyed teen began to panic. "Yugi? Yugi!" His frantic calls went unanswered as he rose out of bed and touched the cold floor tentively.

Pulling up his slipping black silk pajama bottoms, he rushed down the stairs and searched the house for his aibou, starting with the living room, but he didn't have to look long.

Blinking, he sniffed something in the air and turned around to see his smiling hikari standing in the doorway that joined the living room and the kitchen, two steaming mugs of hot chocolate in his hands.

Stepping towards the calming Pharaoh, he handed him one of the mugs and as Yami numbly grasped it, Yugi used his now free hand to wrap around the others lithe waist.

"What's wrong love?" Yugi whispered gently, nuzzling Yami's neck and listening to the racing pulse settle against his own creamy skin. Shaking his head, Yami curled his free arm around Yugi, tracing unknown patterns on the younger ones back.

Murmuring a sigh of approval, Yugi lifted the mug in his hands to Yami's lips and let the Pharaoh swallow the warm, frothy hot chocolate within it.

With a sweet sigh, Yami lifted his own mug to Yugi's lips, watching as a foamy marshmellow floated into the younger ones mouth.

With his trademark smirk plastered on his face, Yami pulled the mug away and placed it down on the coffee table, Yugi mirroring his actions. The older one leaned down, capturing his Yugi's sweet, petal soft lips with his own and pulled him down onto the couch.

Moaning blissfully, Yugi and Yami both suckled on the deliciously sweet marshmellow that drifted between their joined mouths. As the treat soon faded away into nothingness, Yami used its remainder to sweeten his hikari's senses by pushing it by Yugi's sensitive taste buds.

He earned a loud moan of approval for his action before Yugi returned the favor by giving his Yami gentle and loving touchs to his midriff, which sent sparks flying in scarlet orbs.

Yami, never being one to turn down a challenge of any kind, pushed his fingers into Yugi's powder blue shirt and tugged off the buttons with a single finger before he pulled it down off his shoulders.

Dipping his fingers in one of the mugs, the Pharaoh pulled out another marshmellow and smeared it along his aibou's well built chest, which sent shivers down Yugi's spine.

With another smirk, Yami went on his "cleaning" duty, licking up the delicious substance from his even more delicious other half.

The gentle, torturingly slow, licks and small bites on his delicate skin had Yugi moaning and whimpering Yami's name in pure pleasure as he locked hazy amethysts with passionate rubies.

"You taste simply delicious aibou, so sweet... quite the aphrodisiac." Yami whispered into Yugi's ear whilst nibbling his ear lobe sensually.

This caused the younger one to blush deeply at the insinuation. Yami merely smiled and halted his assault, lying on his side and bringing Yugi closer to his chest.

In response, Yugi cuddled closer, taking in the musky scent of his Yami mixed with the melted marshmellows and steaming chocolate.

After several minutes of content silence, Yugi gave a slight gasp and pulled out of their embrace.

Rasising an eyebrow in confusion, Yami called out to Yugi, "Aibou? What's the matter?"

Yugi didn't answer as he made his way to the large and vastly decorated tree in the corner of the room. Kneeling down on the soft, plush carpet, he picked up a silver box tied in golden ribbon and returned to hand it to Yami.

"Merry Christmas mou hitori no boku."

Tilting his head, Yami took the gift from Yugi's hand and stared at it in admiration before carefully tugging the ribbon and lifting the lid.

Gasping, he stared at what was inside. There was an expensive looking, pure gold collar within it. A flail and a crook were engraved onto the front of it and a small, yet elegantly designed ankh hanging on a thin gold loop underneath.

This is the collar I seen the other day! "Aibou? This is absolutely beautiful..." Yami gasped out as his fingers traced over the carvings on the front.

"So you like it? I'm glad! I searched everywhere and this was the only thing I found that was...well... worthy of you. Well worth a few late nights of singing at a certain bar?" Yugi smiled, wrapping his arms around his astounded lovers neck.

"It's an egyptian item. That's why there are those engravings. The flail and the crook are supposed to represent royalty and majesty. And the ankh represents eternity...just like my love for you." Yugi whispered the last part lovingly into Yami's ear, unable to contain his raging blush as he buried his face into Yami's neck.

A tender look reflected in Yami's eyes as he looked down and into Yugi's own enchanting violet eyes, before pulling the smaller one into a loving embrace.

Blinking in surprise, Yugi hugged him back. Pulling away he took Yami's hands and led them up to his neck and fastened the collar around the older ones neck.

Yami flicked the ankh fondly as he stood up, walked over to the tree and pulled out another box that was hidden behind a suspciously large green package from Jonouchi.

It was a box nearly the same size as the one Yugi had given him. The color scheme was the same except that the box was gold and the ribbon that was wrapped around it was a glistening silver.

"Merry Christmas, my beloved aibou."

The once Pharaoh chuckled as Yugi's eyes sparkled when he opened his present quickly, with less care and patience than Yami and gazed at the content.

From this box, Yugi pulled out another pure gold collar but this was different from the last. Instead of the flail and crook, there was a feather artistically crafted on the front. From both sides of the collar, two chains fell, meeting to hold a strange symbol known as a Sa. (A/N: Check it out on google, I can't describe it! (sweatdrops) )

Words couldn't describe how Yugi felt as he gazed at the twinkling collar in his hands, he couldn't even let out a gasp.

"Like you, I bought a present of Egyptian origin. The feather is that of Maat's, it represents truth, justice," he tilted Yugi's chin up with his thumb so their eyes could meet. "and balance. The symbol there, is a Sa, which shows everlasting protection, my everlasting protection for you. And I should think it was well worth waiting tables for, hmm aibou?" Yami finished, fastening the collar around Yugi's neck

Yugi closed his eyes and gave something akin to a smirk, "I dunno about that. To see the great, the high, the mighty Pharaoh Atemu reduced to the servant of mere mortal men was an intriguing concept."

"Y-You're not serious?" Yami's voice cried out nervously with a shaky smile on his face, his skin visibly paling when he received no answer.

Scratching his chin in contemplation, Yugi looked towards the horrified teen next to him and promptly burst out laughing.

"Wait til Bakura hears about this!" Eyes widening, Yami tackled Yugi from the couch and onto the floor. Regaining his royal composure, he smirked down at Yugi as he straddled his waist and pinned his arms above the younger ones fallen spikey tresses.

"Such a thing wouldn't be wise, my little hikari, you might find yourself facing a...punishment, shall we say?"

"Oh? And what might that be?" His reply was another swift capture of lips.

Yugi quickly, and willingly, surrendered to his punisher, smiling coyly into the kiss.

And as they engaged in sensual kiss after kiss, neither noticed the fresh snow falling heavily around outside, dancing in dangerous yet beautiful patterns in the morning light, because both were at peace with golden symbols of their everlasting love adorning their necks.

After all, who needs a frantic day on earth when they found love and contentment within their very own Seventh Heaven.

Ooh! Sappy! AHH! XD Oh well, Merry Christmas to all once again! I hope you've enjoyed the ficcie, I'll see you all after the new year!
