To Touch You

Chapter 35: The Earth is Still

A/N:

Thanks to everyone for so much support, yadda yadda yadaa. I've enjoyed writing this =D
Sorry for the massive delay, my Microsoft word stopped working, among other little issues. This is gonna be pretty long, I really dragged it out. Also one small part might be a little graphic but hey, that's why you're reading it, except you Robina, you're just here because you're a hobo. Anywayyys without further adooooooo: Here it is, the very last chapter.

Robina: I still haven't disclaimed

Seto: Yeah and I'm still unbearably sexy

Driven: both valid points…

(Around 9:30am)
"I can't apologise enough…I feel so terrible for dragging you into this mess…" Yami was sitting next to Yugi on the bed.

"Chill out Yami…it's Christmas tomorrow and yeah…I know we've got a lot of issues but we'll sort it all out."

"Yes…we will…. Yugi you remember the first time we kissed?" Yami asked, a thoughtful look crossing his face.

"How could I forget?"

Yami just hugged Yugi, letting their love fill the silence. Yugi smiled, then frowned a little as he felt Yami melt away from him and gradually turn to nothing. Yugi watched the puzzle do its usual light show and he took the artefact and held it in his arms.

"Yugi! Your friends are here!" Solomon's voice yelled.

Yugi jumped up and ran out to the door. Sure enough, Tristan, Tea and Joey were there.

"Hiya Yugi," Tea smiled and they all came in.

"Hi guys," Yugi waved. The four of them sat on the couch.

"I saw you and Yami at the party," Tea smiled.

"Oh…"Yugi blushed.

"I think it's really cute you two didn't break up," She reassured him.

"Yeah…"Tristan and Joey joked, "So has he done you yet?"

Yugi blushed even brighter, "I don't wanna talk about that…"

"Spoil sport," Tea stuck her tongue out.

"Anyway, we got ya presents," Joey said handing three brightly wrapped packages over to Yugi.

"You can't open them until tomorrow though!" Tristan teased.

"I haven't even set up the tree!" Yugi realised.

"Now he notices," Solomon chuckled from the kitchen.

Yugi rushed to the hall cupboard and pulled out a box which was the home of their Christmas tree when it was not in use. He dragged it to the lounge, "You guys are gonna help me!"

He put the box in the corner of the room and began unpacking bits of the tree. The four slotted them together and began to spread the artificial branches. Yugi sighed, the tree was taller than him, still.

"About time you four did something useful," Solomon joked, putting down a large box of decorations, "Make that five," he added as Crash walked in.

"Hey everyone!" He sat on the floor and began helping with the PVC foliage. Solomon laughed and went outside to get snow off the path.

Tristan and Joey tipped out the decorations and grinned as lengths of tinsel and shiny baubles tumbled out.

"Idiots!" Tea fumed, gathering up the baubles as they tried to escape the room.

"TINSEL GOES ON FIRST!" Tristan cheered, tossing gold tinsel on to the tree.

"That looks terrible," Joey snorted.

"You're face looks terrible!" Tristan countered.

Tea rolled her eyes and hi-fived Yugi, "Worst comeback yet…even on a Tristan standard that's pretty bad."

Yugi giggled, throwing on some red tinsel. Crash finished the last of the branches and took a long piece of silver ribbon and wrapped it around the tree.

"Oh cool! Bells! You guys have the best decorations!" Tea put a string of golden bells through the branches.

"This looks so funny," Yugi smirked, and tied on a blue bauble.

It didn't take long before they had the tree decorated completely, head to toe with spangley décor.

Yugi grinned, "It looks perfect!"

"Perfectly screwed!" Joey hi-fived Tristan.

"At least we did it together," Yugi smiled.

"Now we have to put the star on," Tea noted

"Oh! Can I do it? Please?" Crash asked, reaching into the box and taking the sparkly gold star.

"Go on," Yugi smiled, lifting Crash up to reach.

"There," Crash grinned, putting the star onto the tree.

Yugi put Crash down and the five of them stood back to admire the tree.

It was bright and sparkly, a hilariously gaudy art piece of Christmas cheer.

Yugi took the presents he'd been given and put them underneath, "It's done," he laughed.

"Hey, where is Yami? I wanted to apologise…"Joey mumbled.

"Puzzle," Yugi nodded at his necklace.

"Apologise?" Tristan raised an eyebrow.

"Yami 'n me 'ad a bit of a misunderstandin',"Joey sighed, "Seein's as he's my best friend's boyfriend I hate to be on bad terms with him."

"I'll tell him you said that, thanks Joey," Yugi nodded.

"Yugi could you give me a hand in the shop for a while?" Solomon asked as he walked in.

"That's our cue to exit!" Tristan grinned, and the three of them walked out with a wave.

"Anything to get out of work," Yugi stuck his tongue out.

"Have a good Christmas!" They smiled and left.

Yugi put the Duelling hand guide on the shelf and climbed down the ladder, glad the shop had no customers, leaving him free to restock the shelves. He thanked goodness he'd already done his Christmas shopping a while ago. He really hoped his grandpa liked his present. Solomon paid Yugi for working, and he'd been saving for a long time until he had enough for the present. A two week cruise on a yacht with access to everything on board. He'd only had enough for one ticket, it'd cost a fair bit.

"Where do these go?" Crash asked holding up a duel kit.

"Against the wall, next to the brochures."

Yugi smiled, proud of Crash, he was a tough kid. Now the thing that Yugi had to sort out was Yami…he didn't want to share his boyfriend with an Egyptian artefact anymore.

He had a foreboding and terrible feeling about the Shadow Realm. He refused to be left behind, if Yami was to fight for freedom. He stuck up a large Duel Monster poster on the wall. He was grateful…grateful he'd gotten so interested in the game. He loved Duel Monsters, it was the only thing he seemed to be good at.

Solomon finished the dishes, "Christmas tomorrow, Yugi."

Yugi nodded, happy, "Yeah, it's gonna be great!"

"It certainly will. Alright, I'm off to bed, see you tomorrow. Night."

"Night," Yugi smiled, then turned to Crash, "It's off to bed with you too."

"Aw! Yugi! No!" Crash yawned, "It's only nine!"

"Nine-thirty," Yugi pointed to the clock.
Crash sighed and got up and walked to bed, "Night Yugi."

Yugi got up, and sat on the couch, looking out the window, where the white snow was hidden beneath the darkness. He loved Christmas, he just hoped he'd have someone to share it with.

He got up and walked to his room, changed to light blue pyjamas and laid in his bed. He grabbed his deck and began to go through it, studying each card slowly before moving on to the next. He then sorted the cards into piles, before putting them all together and reshuffling them one more time, then put them on his table. Yugi closed his eyes, tired, giving in to sleep.

Yugi opened his bright purple eyes, "Christmas."

"CHRISTMAS!" He heard Crash echo down the hall.

Yugi jumped up and ran to the lounge room. Crash was tearing open presents, luckily Solomon had fitted in some last minute shopping.

"Thank you!" He held up a Lego set, according to the instructions, when it was assembled it would form a 1metre high Blue Eyes White Dragon, "Awesome!"

Soon Crash had a pile of toys and clothes and was sitting amongst wrapping papers.

Yugi unwrapped Tristan's gift, a Rubik's cube, which had been all painted black, "Hah…" he grabbed Joey's which turned out to be a playing card, the 7 of hearts, a magnet and some string, "Joey you idiot…" He read the note on it.

You're smart, you figure out a way to make use of it. –Joey.

He smiled then unwrapped the one from Tea. It was a book, 'growing taller in 5 easy steps' "Oh funny," He smirked.

"Into the presents already?" Solomon chuckled.

"Merry Christmas, gramps!" Yugi said, unwrapping a book on Ancient Egypt, bound in leather, courtesy of Solomon, "Woah, thanks!"

He opened the rest, smiling at all the Duel Monsters products that had been ordered in specially before they went to the shelves, a KaibaCorp gift card as well as a few more books, some DVDs and an assortment of clothing, his favourite piece being a dark purple leather jacket. The cuffs and collar were black and a black leather belt was attached around it, and little silvery chains hung from various places.
"Here Grandpa, I only got you one thing, so I hope it's okay," Yugi handed Solomon the envelope.

Solomon tore it open, revealing a brochure for the tour, some info leaflets anda ticket, "Yugi! A holiday?"

"I'll take care of the store, you deserve it."

"This is fantastic!" Solomon grinned, "Yugi, you're a good boy," He hugged his grandson.

"Glad you like it," Yugi said, relieved.

"Looks like I leave in February, wonderful!" He nodded, reading the brochure.

"Hey how bout we go get some food cooked!: Yugi grinned. He Crash and Solomon spent a few hours cooking, it looked like they'd be having a roast turkey if they ever got it finished. Finally they got everything done, Yugi put the food on the table and they all sat down to eat, it was about one and they were all hungry.

The meal was delicious. Yugi loved Christmas lunch, he wished Yami was with them, but he was grateful to have Crash and his Grandpa to spend it with.

Two o'clock came and went, by three Crash and Yugi were on the floor arm wrestling. The score was Crash: 5. Yugi: 3.

"Yugi Mutou, surely you can do better than that," A certain husky voice quipped from behind him.
Letting go of Crash's hand, Yugi jumped up, "YAMI!" He flying-crash-tackle-hugged Yami to the floor.

"Merry Christmas, now get the heck off of me,"Yami laughed and they stood up.

"Hey Crash, how 'bout you go play with your new toys in your room?" Yugi hinted.

Crash held back a snigger, "Good idea," he retreated to his room, knowing the older boys wanted to be alone.

Once he was gone Yami took Yugi in his arms, "Sorry I wasn't here…"

Yugi smiled at the feeling of having his Yami close, "It's fine."

Yami thought for a moment then led Yugi to the door, "Let's go see your friends."

"If you say so."

They went to Tristan's first, he opened the door, a grin on his face, "Oh hey Yugi!"

"Merry Christmas!" Yugi grinned, "Thanks for the present too, by the way."

"Glad you liked it. You guys coming in?"

"No we gotta get going," Yugi said as they rushed off.

Joey answered his door in a tuxedo, "Yugi!"

Yugi laughed, "Did you lose another bet?"

"No, Dad just says it's appropriate…did you like the present?"

"It was inspiring."

"Thought it would be," Joey noticed a withdrawn Yami standing behind Yugi, "Hey Yami."

"Yes?" Yami looked up, sounding colder than he meant to.

" Yugi's great…but to me he's just a friend…I'm sorry about the other day."

"Yes, I'm sorry as well," Yami nodded.

"Joey hurry up!" A voice yelled.

"Ah, I gotta go, Merry Christmas guys!"

"Merry Christmas!" They smiled then walked to Tea's.

Tea came out in a pair of pyjamas, "Hey you guys!"

"Merry Christmas Tea," They both said.

"You like the book?"

"I hate you," Yugi grinned,

"The feeling is mutual," Tea stuck out her tongue.

"I'll leave you too it, bye," Yugi waved

"See you!" She waved as the two of them walked home.

Once inside Yami pulled Yugi to the latter's room.

"What are you…ohh…" Yugi's question turned to a gasp as Yami locked their door and kissed his neck, pushing Yugi against a wall.

"Angel…" Yami murmured holding Yugi tightly. Yugi wrapped one of his legs up around Yami's hips as the pharaoh stripped him of his shirt and ran his hand down Yugi's chest. He moved his fingertips across Yugi's skin, over his nipples, down over his stomach and to his abdomen. Yami kissed Yugi softly, he licked Yugi's lips, feeling himself tremble when Yugi's tongue flicked quickly into his mouth. Yami momentarily broke their kiss. He ran a hand down Yugi's spine.

"Atem," Yugi whispered softly as Yami licked down his Hikari's neck, then kissed his collar bone gently. Yugi tensed at the warm feeling of Yami's tongue.

"I'm so happy…" Yami smiled, sucking on the skin of Yugi's neck then kissing him, hungrily.

Yugi snuggled into Yami, overwhelmed with a magical wash of love as the pharaoh quickly pulled him onto the bed and lied by his side. He pulled Yugi on top of him, kissing his lips, "I have been waiting…all day, to get you alone so I could have you to myself…my beautiful Yugi."

"You mustn't be so selfish, Yami," Yugi joked.

"I just can't help it, little Hikari," Yami smiled.

"Ah, I love it when we're together…like this…" Yugi kissed his Yami.

"I do too, Aibou," Yami let Yugi pull his shirt off and throw it to the end of the bed. Yami then exhaled heavily when Yugi kissed his neck, "Oh Yugi, baby."

Yugi rested his full weight against the Pharaoh's body and put his head to Yami's chest. Yami softly stroked his Hikari's back, but was still not content. He shifted them so that Yugi was next to him. He put one hand to Yugi's pants and slipped it in, stroking Yugi's crotch, he reached down further rubbing the tip.

"Yami!" Yugi cried in surprise then groaned, "Gods that feels good."

Yami leaned over and licked and kissed Yugi's mouth frantically as he rubbed his thumb on the head of Yugi's hardening penis, "Urgh…" Yugi bucked his hips a little at the feeling of Yami's hand. Yami kissed Yugi again, then nipped at his neck. After a little while he tightened his grip on Yugi's hard on and started pumping his hand up and down it. He kept kissing him, hard, "…Yugi…"

"Y…Yami…ohh don't stop…" The younger boy moaned as the world around him began to blur a little.

Yami moved aside and pulled Yugi's pants and underwear away, he pulled his hikari into his lap and continued working on the erection with his hand. Yugi arched his back a little, "Atem…Atem you're…amazing…ohh."

The pharaoh lifted on of Yugi's arms over his back and leaned around under it, kissing Yugi's chest. Yugi gasped and leaned back as Yami kissed his nipple slowly, "Mmm…Yami…" Yugi shivered at the feeling. Yami moved his hand faster and Yugi bit back a scream, "…I'm gonna…"

In a split second Yami moved his position.

"Huh?" Yugi groaned as Yami removed his hand, then he gasped as he felt himself be taken, once again in Yami's wet warm mouth. Yami closed his eyes at the taste he loved so much, the taste of his light. Yugi moaned loudly, biting his lip as Yugi sucked him, hard. His voice dropped to a whisper as his heartbeat quickened, "Yami…I'm going to cum…ohh Yami!" He cried out as he squirted into Yami's mouth. Yami swallowed savouring the taste of it. He took Yugi out of his mouth then pulled him into his arms, both of them breathing heavily. Yugi just gazed at Yami, his head was still spinning. He pulled himself up and put his pants on, before giving in and laying back down next to Yami again. Yugi nestled into his boyfriend, "Yami…you're always doing stuff like that for me."

Yami nodded, stroking Yugi's neck, "Yeah…it makes me happy to know I can please you…too see the way you smile and that sexy way your eyes fog up when you're just about to cum…" Yami kissed his forehead.

"Do you ever think that…we shouldn't…that we're too young? That I'm too young?"

Yami sighed, "I can see why you'd say that…but think of it this way, we're guys we can't get pregnant if we have sex…"

Yugi nodded, "Yeah but you don't think I'm too young for blow jobs and all that?"

Yami hugged Yugi tight, "I love you…so much…when I'm giving you a blow job…or anything like that, it's not because of lust, it's love…saying we're too young for what we do is like saying we're too young to be in love."

Yugi smiled, "I love you too," He kissed Yami and rested in his arms for a few moments. The two of them put their shirts back on.

All of a sudden Yugi was cheerful again, "Let's go outside!"

"Huh?"

"C'mon!" Yugi pulled them out of the room, "Crash let's go!" Yugi pulled Yami past Crash's new room. Crash stuck his head out the door and followed them outside into the snow.

"What were you guys doing in Yugi's room?" Crash asked, not having heard the moans at all.

"Playing duel monsters," Yugi answered quickly.

Crash was none the wiser, "Who won?" he asked, tossing up a handful of snow and letting it fall back down over his head.

"Me," Yami smirked, pegging a snow ball at Crash.

"Gang up on Yami!" Yugi cried throwing snow in Yami's face. Crash laughed and threw a snowball at Yami, hitting his ribs.

"Little rat!" The pharaoh ran after Crash.

"You should have coats on!" Solomon yelled, to deaf ears. The man took a seat on the porch and smiled. His young, Yugi loved Atem, it was easy to tell, but what made him so much happier was that Atem loved him back. Chris's life was also looking up…he'd heard the boy crying the night before, but in time he would heal. Solomon sipped his coffee and leaned back on the deck chair, he knew Yugi would refuse to let things go. He wanted to free Atem from the Shadow Realm, of course. Solomon sighed, he worried, but knew Atem would protect Yugi.

Yami was covered in snow, he laughed trying to dust down his pants.

"Charge!" Crash tackled him to the ground with a thud.

"I hate you…" Yami mumbled as Yugi dropped an armful of snow on his back,

Crash giggled and Yami got up. Crash started making a snow-angela dn Yugi and Yami went to sit down. They sat on the porch swing next to Solomon's deck chair.

"Merry Christmas Solomon," Yami nodded.

"You as well, Yami."

"I wanted to thank you again. Also I want to be absolutely certain you don't mind Yugi going with me to the shadow realm."

Solomon smiled, "Yugi loves you…and I respect your and his decisions, I've told you that. I do not want Yugi hurt, but I know you'll keep him safe. Whatever you two decide, within reason, is fine," The old man said,

"Grandpa, thanks for everything, I'm glad I've got you," Yugi smiled.

Solomon nodded, "I'm very proud of you, Yugi."

Yugi kept smiling, his family may have been strange but he wouldn't have t any other way, "Egg nog time!" Yugi dashed inside, and and returned with a carton of eggnog, some nutmeg and four glasses, "Crash come here!" He called Crash to the porch for a drink.

"Egg nog?" Yugi asked sceptically, then took a sip, "Wow, that's good."

"Eggnog!" Crash grinned as he was handed a glass of it and took a sip, "Yum…"

The phone rang. Yugi walked in to answer it, after a moment he handed it took Crash, "It's your mum."

"Mummy?" Crash said softly into the phone, he was nervous, "Yeah…yeah…I'm fine…oh okay, I love you too." He gave the phone back to Yugi who put it inside.

"You alright?" Yami asked.

"Yeah…I'm happy here."

"Time?" Yugi asked, sitting down.

"Five," Solomon said.

"Duel time!" Yugi and Crash hi-fived each other rushing inside.

Yami got up, "C'mon Solomon, I'll give you a duel."

Solomon got up and followed the others inside. Yugi and Crash gathered up what cards they had an divided them between the four people.

"Here," Yugi said, "Me and Crash versus Yami and Solomon."

"Bring it on, Yugi," Yami smirked, taking the cards.

The life points started at 4000 per team. Within ten minutes the score was Yugi and Crash: 2800, Yami and Solomon: 3600.

After five more minutes Yami and Solomon where laughing their heads off at the look on Yugi's face, "I lost…." Yugi muttered,

"Yeah, you really stink at this," Crash joked.

"Shut it! I'm on your team!"

"Play again?" Solomon teased.

"No way," Yugi and Crash said in unison.

The rest of the night was spent sitting around laughing, one of the high points being when they decided to smother Yugi in wrapping paper.

It was ten when Solomon decided to go to bed, followed a few minutes by a yawning Crash.

This left the Yami and his Hikari.

"Your grandpa sure knows how to duel," Yami joked.

"He taught me," Yugi nodded.

"I'm glad I got to spend Christmas with you, Angel," Yami smiled.

"Yeah. Me too," Yugi said. The two of them walked to their room, changed to pyjamas and sat up in Yugi's bed.

"I have something for you…" Yugi smiled, pulling out a tiny crystal Sphinx ornament, which shined in a glowing yellow.

"Yugi it's great, thank you," Yami smiled watching the moonlight hit the surface of the shiny gift, "I got you something too, just a minute," Yami got up and delved through one of his jackets, before lying down again, "Close your eyes."

Yugi did so. "Open," Yami kissed him. Yugi looked at the golden shining armband now on his wrist, "Yami…wow…" He read the cursive engraving, "Atem and Yugi for eternity…" He was speechless, hejust smiled.

"It was going to say 'forever' but I decided that wasn't long enough," Yami smiled.

"I love it, thankyou Yami."

"My sweet Yugi, you're so wonderful," He gently kissed Yugi's jaw.

"Pharaoh...you're my whole world…" Yugi said softly.

"Yugi, I was wondering," Yami began nervously, "I know it's sudden but…would you consider moving out so we could live together in our own place?"

"Really?" Yugi's heart was racing.

"As long as you had permission. I thought we could live together…y'know, just us two."

Yugi kissed Yami's lips, they tasted good, warm and tangy, he looked up, "I'd love too."

Yami pulled him close against him, gazing at Yugi's violet eyes, "It won't be simple, but we will fix everything…I know we will, so you and I can finally live simultaneously."

Yugi nodded, "I love you Atem."

The pharaoh kissed him, "I love you too, Yugi. I'd say I love you more than life but…you are my life, my angelic light."

Yugi smiled, "Atem…my darkness."

A/N: There ya go! The last chap –cries- again sorry for dragging it out, but I was at my grandma's bored as shizz when I did it.

Robina: 14 pages…you sure can drag stuff out.
