((TW)): Slight homophobic language (not from Yugi or Atem) and a really hot, steamy sex scene.

4:OO AM

Yugi ascended on the concrete steps to his apartment, stopping when he got to the second one. He then turned around and sighed, half smiling.

"You….wanna come in?" He asked softly.

Atem looked up at him, caught off guard by the invitation. "Sure," he answered a little too enthused. He couldn't help it at this point. He'd already drunkenly confessed his love hours ago.

Yugi's apartment was furnished with wall to floor windows, and curtains that were a little too dark for Atem's tastes; a power reclining sofa with blue LED lights at the bottom for aesthetics. A huge Samsung flat-screen television sat on the wall opposite of the recliners. He also had a beautiful salt and pepper kitchen island, with see-through cabinets.

"You have a nice place here," Atem said, impressed.

"Thanks. You want something to drink?" Yugi offered. "Some water, maybe?"

"That's just what I need right now."

Yugi fetched two water bottles from the pantry. He could only drink it at room temperature so he hoped Atem didn't mind. When he turned around he caught Atem staring at him, like a deer in headlights.

He was half-sitting on the recliner, one leg hoisted up. Atem was in the middle of getting comfortable on the chair when he locked eyes with Yugi.

"Uhhh," Yugi gulped, suddenly feeling shy, "I'm not sure if you like ice, but—"

"Yeah, yeah," Atem answered, swallowing thick. He didn't know why it was so hard to breathe all of a sudden. Being truly alone with Yugi away from his hotel put too many inappropriate thoughts in his head. Especially since they were on good terms now.

Yugi cautiously sat next to Atem and handed him the bottle with a cup of ice. He smiled sympathetically at his swollen black eye. "It doesn't look that bad."

"Liar."

Yugi felt the awkward silence and he hated it. It never used to be like this—not knowing what to say to each other. He needed something to do to ease the tension, so he went back to the kitchen to grab some paper towels.

"Thanks," Atem smirked at the corner of his mouth.

"I hope that helps," Yugi hoped.

"I'm sure it will. This really is a nice place, by the way." Atem untwisted his cap and took a gulp of water. Yugi watched.

He never thought in a million years he'd be jealous of a water bottle.

Shit. Yugi dismissed the thought of kissing Atem as soon as it came. The fact that he saved Yugi from being mauled by three people really put him in the mood. "Th—thanks," he stuttered, to which he mentally scolded himself.

He couldn't deny, however, that Atem had taken care of himself over the years. He was still the same strapping guy he was a decade ago.

Only taller and more handsome if that were even possible.

"How long have you been living here?" Atem asked when he was done drinking.

"I've only been here for about five months now, but it's a quaint little place. I like how peaceful it is. That's mainly why I chose it."

"Can't blame you, you've picked well. That doesn't surprise me though, you've always had good judgment." Atem took another long gulp of water while Yugi looked on. It was tantalizing how this man could make something so simple look erotic.

Yugi didn't even want to talk anymore. After everything that happened tonight, all he wanted to do was fuck the shit out of this man.

"Well, thank you for the compliment. Even though I don't really deserve it after the way I treated you earlier."

"Ehh," Atem shrugged, "I didn't make this evening easy for you, so I deserved every bit of it."

"No, you don't." Yugi sat closer to him. For some reason, he felt compelled to just be near him. "You really don't. I just—wish things were handled better than that."

"Me too. Everything just got so out of hand. I don't know what those three were thinking. And now they're going to jail because they couldn't take no for an answer. I hope it was worth it."

"Yeah, never imagined we'd end up on the news. At least not for something like assault and battery."

"Tell me about it. I've never been so exhausted in my life," Atem groaned and pushed his wet hair out of his face. "Listen, I'm sorry—"

His sentence was cut short when Yugi suddenly kissed him.

Whoa. Atem tried to process what had happened five seconds ago when Yugi broke away.

"Whoops. I guess I should have warned you before I did that."

Atem was still dazed. "What…?"

"You can't blame me, I almost died."

Atem felt the tension expelled from his mouth when he laughed through his teeth. "No, I guess I can't blame you for that."

At least Yugi wasn't raging at him anymore. This was the side of him that Atem preferred anyway.

Yugi reached out to Atem's cheek, wiping a tear with his thumb. Atem chuckled out of nervousness. "I really am sorry, Yugi."

"If I had a dime for every time you've said that tonight," he snickered. "I'm not in so much denial to believe that you planned this whole thing."

"Absolutely not. I had no idea those three were going to go off the deep end."

"Still doesn't excuse what they did. That guy broke my phone and slit my throat! We ended up on every major news station! Joey found out online and tried to find me in that crowd but he couldn't get past the yellow tape. Tristan and your other assistant didn't allow anyone in."

"Speaking of which, I'm gonna pound the living daylights outta him when I get the chance."

Yugi laughed. Something Atem hadn't heard in a while and didn't realize he missed so much until this very moment. "That makes two of us."

"Let me go on record to say that I did mention your name to him. I didn't tell him to invite you, however. I wasn't sure if I was ready to face you again."

"I wasn't either. You saw what happened when we did," Yugi half grinned, lowering his hands. "I could have handled myself better, though."

"I'm not really the best person to give advice right now. No one would have blamed you for how you reacted, given our history…"

Well, there was no use in avoiding the elephant in the room.

"Look Yugi, if you never want to talk to me again after this, I would totally understand. Following you around, having my employees keep tabs on you...that was out of line."

"You know I can't do that. Too much has happened between us. But I'm not mad anymore. We both made mistakes tonight."

"I don't see any mistakes you could've made," Atem shrugged. "If it weren't for me and my eagerness, you wouldn't have been caught up in my drama. And if I knew my exes were gonna show up, I would've shut the whole party down. The only one who didn't harass me tonight was Kaiba."

"You dated Seto Kaiba?" Yugi's eyes went wide. "Not very many people can say that."

Atem turned his head and looked down at the floor. "Briefly."

"How brief we talking about here?"

"A year."

"That's not brief!" Yugi laughed a little. "You don't seem very happy about it though."

"Well...I," the part Atem didn't want to tell Yugi was that the only reason he had all of these exes was that it was a feeble attempt to forget about their relationship. Forget about how much he loved and missed Yugi. But it was a colossal failure.

"Atem?" Yugi reached out and touched his shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"I wish I was," he frowned. "There's just so much I wanna say but….where do I start?"

"From the beginning," Yugi bounced his shoulders. "That always works."

"Okay." Atem took a deep breath and tried to gather his thoughts. "After we graduated, I wanted to reach out to you so badly. I really did. But I feel like too much damage was done. And I thought you hated me for what I did."

Yugi sat closer. Their knees touched and it made his hairs stand on end. "I thought I hated you. I cried every day for months and months...my heart was shattered. At one point I lost weight because I wasn't eating. I was so messed up. I had to take a semester off college. Joey and the others were worried sick."

Atem felt his knee quaking. It was bouncing up and down so much, Yugi touched him to relax. "I…I didn't mean for that to happen. How can I make it up to you?"

"I think you have already," Yugi snorted. "In your own unique way."

"Yeah, but it wasn't supposed to turn out like this. It was my fault for letting Tristan handle the guest list at the party. He always loved to pull pranks on me, but this was above and beyond his pay grade."

"So you're not blaming him?"

"Not entirely. Truth is, since I was opening this hotel in our hometown, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I obsessively wondered if you still lived here, and I didn't want to think about all the details of this dumb party. So, that's why I put Tristan in charge of the guest list. Which was a mistake now."

"Was it?" Yugi's eyes shone sadness.

"No!" Atem had just realized what he said. "That's not what I meant."

"But you said Tristan put me on the guest list, right?"

"Yes."

"A guest list that you didn't approve of…"

"No. Because if I knew you were coming, I would've come better prepared. I didn't want you on the guest list because of what I said earlier. I mean...I had just barely started to move on with my life, and then to see you show up at my party, unannounced? I'm surprised I didn't have a nervous breakdown!"

"Atem…" Yugi moved even closer to him, feeling comfortable enough to have more contact, more touch. He sensed Atem losing his composure, and Yugi wouldn't let that happen here. Not now.

"I think I just….snapped. I went crazy. Everything I tried to bury just came to the surface with a vengeance. It felt like a ticking time bomb. That's the best way I can describe it. I stupidly thought that maybe if I begged you enough, we could just start over and forget the past. But the past is the reason we're in this spot to begin with."

"The past is why I picked up my disgusting habit. That, and my poor coping skills."

"Have you ever tried to quit?"

"I've been just as successful as trying to quit you."

Atem had been looking down at his hands this whole time. But when Yugi said that, it prompted him to look up at him. Something about that tone…

"Can we just…talk about what happened that day?" Yugi swallowed the fear that always came with bringing this up. "It's driving me insane that I don't know why you broke up with me when we agreed that we were going to college together."

Atem knew this inevitable subject would surface again eventually, but that still didn't stop his heart from pounding. "Your dad—" he sighed, might as well spit it out. "I heard what he said about me. Before you opened the door and saw me."

Yugi's mouth dropped. "Shit…"

"Yeah. That's why I… well, you know."

"Dammit. So that means..." Words failed Yugi. Instead, they came out in the form of tears.

"Oh no, don't cry," Atem grabbed a tissue from the tissue box on the stand next to him and wiped Yugi's face. "That was years ago. I'm okay, really."

"I'm so sorry you had to hear that," He sniffed. "The last thing I wanted to see was your heartbroken face on the other side of that door. And I even prayed that there was a glimmer of a chance you didn't hear anything."

"I heard it all," Atem frowned. "Unfortunately."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry—"

"Shhhhh," he raised his index finger to Yugi's lips. "Now you're doing it."

"Doing what?"

"Apologizing too much."

"I can't help it!" Yugi exclaimed. "It was bad enough my dad was saying it to me when I didn't know you were right outside listening! Dammit. I swear if he weren't my dad, I would have punched him in the face."

"Have you learned nothing from tonight? Violence is not the answer."

"It is in this case."

Atem couldn't help but laugh. "There's the Yugi I know and love."

"Well," Yugi scooted closer to him and touched his hand. "It's still not fair that he said that. You know none of it was true, right?"

"Actually," Atem took a deep breath and exhaled. "I am a gay man. I am queer. Nothing about that is particularly offensive."

"The other stuff he did say, however, was offensive and you know it."

Atem sighed. "Yes, it was. And after I heard that, I just…. shut down. I couldn't go through with—" he cut himself off.

"Go through with what?" Yugi wanted to know.

Oh. Right. Atem never told him.

About the ring…

"What do you mean, why is it always about me? This is my legacy you're supposed to be carrying and now you're telling you're sharing it with your little butt buddy? Get a grip Yugi, you belong with a woman! How else are you gonna give us grandkids?"

"Hi, my name is Howard Muto and the world revolves around me."

"Okay enough, both of you." Selena Muto stepped in between the two of them to separate. "Let's not low- blow each other."

"He's too busy blowing his stupid little boyfriend anyways."

"Stop!" Yugi screamed. "You have no idea who Atem even is because you've never cared to even try! He's sweet, sexy, kind, smart, and more of a man than you'll ever be."

"Don't you dare talk to me like that. I'm your father and you will show me some damn respect. I know what's best for you and it's not this Atem fellow. Don't throw your life away for this guy."

"I'm not," Yugi rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't be throwing away anything! Just because I don't wanna go to your stupid choice of a college doesn't mean I'm gonna be a failure."

"Colombia is one of the top ten schools in the country and you're just gonna throw it away for some fruit—"

"I've heard enough!" Yugi shouted. He grabbed his keys, cell phone and headed toward the door.

"Real men like women!" Howard called out, following him. "And as long as you're with that pervert, I'm not funding your college education."

"Kiss my a—" Yugi started to say, but when he opened the door, Atem was standing on the other side.

He had heard everything.

"Come on Atem, spill it. What were you going to say?"

Said man suddenly grew saddened by bad memories. It was ironic that Yugi had lied about being engaged, considering that's what Atem wanted to be with him that horrible night.

"It's not important anymore," he fake smiled.

"Don't you dare do that to me," he grabbed Atem's collar, vaguely aware that it cost more than his rent but Yugi didn't care. "What couldn't you go through with? Tell me!"

"If I tell you—"

"Haven't you been able to tell me anything? Why can't you tell me this?"

Atem could smell the cigarette smoke on Yugi's breath. God, if it was the last thing on earth he did, he was going to get Yugi to quit smoking that shit.

There was no use in hiding when Yugi was so close, demanding. "Well, the reason I came over to your house in the first place was, I wanted to ask you a question. And umm," he then reached into his pocket and took out a diamond ring.

"Oh my….God, Oh my God, oh my God…"

Atem expected this reaction, so he stayed calm.

"S—so. You….you were gonna—"

"Propose."

"And you," Yugi had to take a second to gulp this all in. "You had the ring in your pocket that day. The same day you heard my father say those awful things about you."

"Yes."

Naturally, Yugi started to cry again. "And then I shoved it in your face that I was engaged...Oh God, I'm so sorry Atem!"

He fell into his arms, burying his face into his chest. At this point, Atem couldn't blame Yugi for lying about that.

"I'm not angry," he cooed softly, brushing his hair with his fingers from front to back. "I'm actually surprised you hadn't moved on. I felt like you deserve way better than me after what I did. I wouldn't have blamed you one bit if you were engaged."

"But I'm not. I'm not engaged," Yugi lifted his head to look up at Atem, tears brimming and running down his face. His amethyst eyes sparkled so brightly in the moonlight basking through the window, and Atem was spellbound. "I just did all that stuff to make you jealous."

"Well, it worked," Atem chuckled. "It killed me to see you kissing someone else. I couldn't take it anymore after that. It drove me crazy."

"I'm so sorry, I know you said I shouldn't apologize but I feel really bad about that. I saw those people around you trying to dance with you and be with you and I got jealous too."

"This whole thing could've been avoided if we just communicated."

Yugi laughed as Atem wiped his tears. "We're way too old for this." He then looked down at the black ring box that Atem was still holding in his hand. "Everything makes sense now."

"After I heard everything your father said, I couldn't go through with it. I always knew he didn't really like me, but hearing that pretty much cemented it. And I didn't want to be that guy. The one that broke up your family."

"But you wouldn't have done that," Yugi insisted.

"Maybe in your eyes, but I could hear how angry your father was. I knew he never liked me. I knew he always had a problem with his son being attracted to men. I just knew—"

Yugi grabbed Atem's face. "Who cares what my father thinks? Who cares what anyone thinks?"

"I care about you having a relationship with your family."

"I haven't spoken to my father in ten years. The same day he insulted you... The same day we broke up, I cut my dad off and moved in with my grandpa in his game shop. I blamed him for our relationship falling apart."

"I just didn't want to be responsible for—"

"You weren't! It's not your responsibility to keep us together! My father is a narcissistic, homophobic asshole. He wanted me to be with a woman even though he's known since I was a child that I liked boys. He tried sending me away to conversion therapy, forcing me on dates with girls, even going so far as to force me to go to a bible camp—and it all failed!"

"Wow," Atem noted the pain in Yugi's eyes and wanted to take it away immediately. Being this close to him again brought back familiar feelings. "I had no idea. Yugi…." he shook his head in disbelief. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know how," he answered softly. "When he found out I was dating you, he just went ballistic. He thought that it was just a 'phase' that I would eventually grow out of and I never did. So, my father tried everything he could to 'turn me straight' and keep me away from you. Meanwhile, I was so in love and wanted to protect you from him. There was no way I was letting you go. And then after I refused to end our relationship, he then, in turn, refused to pay for my college tuition."

"Shit," Atem combed his hair back away from his face. It was annoying how long it was when it was wet. "That's what I was trying to avoid. I didn't want your relationship with your parents to be strained because of me."

"It was strained way before I even met you." A single tear fell down his cheek, which Atem wiped away. "My mom was confused about my being gay but she didn't try to change me. My dad was an absolute monster. When he realized that I wasn't going to stop liking men, he started insulting me, calling me the F-word; a disgrace. That conversation you heard was the last straw. I tried hiding it from you, but after I opened the door and saw your face, I realized that I couldn't hide it anymore."

Yugi lay his head on Atem's shoulder. "I'm so sorry for everything, baby. I'm sorry for lying to you and using my best friend to make you jealous. I'm just sorry."

"Listen, it's okay." Atem kissed his forehead. "Everything is out in the open. I'm sorry too. I should've given us more of a chance. I regret ever breaking off our relationship. I was miserable without you."

"Me too," Yugi said before he jumped in Atem's arms, squeezing him tight. "I've missed you so much, it hurts."

"And you're right, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, not even your parents. I would have loved to go to college and build our lives together. Being with Kaiba and Mai and Malik and Akefia….they never brought me the feeling you did. Eventually, I started sleeping around just to distract myself from the void you left. It never worked though. At the end of the night, I still couldn't stop thinking about you, even with other people in my bed."

"You must have had some wild relationships for them to behave the way they did."

"I always knew how to pick the crazy ones," Atem rolled his eyes. "Strangely, the craziness was a temporary distraction from the pain of losing you. So maybe in a way, I subconsciously sought them out. I just didn't think they were crazy enough to follow me here…"

"I guess that's what happens when you don't properly deal with your past…"

"Tell me about it."

"I only hate that it was them in your bed and not me…."

"Well," Atem was aware that the mood suddenly shifted. "I believe we can have that arranged…"

He closed the gap between their lips, thanking the gods for giving him a second chance at this. He'd been dreaming of this moment for ten years.

"May I…?"

Yugi felt the heat rise in his face, lips slightly parted. "Please."

Atem would do anything to take the scared, shaky tone out of his voice. He leaned his head to the side and dove his lips against Yugi's. Yugi returned the friction, braiding his fingers into Atem's hair, massaging the back of his head.

And then he felt fuzzy all over.

"Shit," he breathed, breaking the kiss. Atem didn't realize how much he missed everything. "Is this too much?"

"I hope not," Yugi said before he kissed him again. He didn't want to give himself time to think about it.

They were still damp from the rain, exhausted, beaten up, but still had all the energy in the world for each other. Yugi zipped Atem's hoodie down and off his shoulders. Lapping and swirling his tongue around in his mouth, he explored Atem's body, groping his chest and rubbing his abs.

"You're so hot," Yugi breathed, "How did I ever get so lucky?"

"How did I? You're no chopped liver yourself."

Yugi had grown into his look since the last time Atem saw him. His once cherubic baby face had slimmed down, morphing into a nice jawline. He may not have been as muscular as Atem was, but he had a toned, athletic build and healthy, thick thighs.

Yugi answered with another scorching kiss. Atem took him in, draping one leg over him so that Yugi was sitting on his lap. Yugi held both sides of Atem's face, plunging his tongue as deeply as he could inside his mouth.

He then reached to the right of Atem and let down the lever to release the recliner.

"Whoa," he wheezed. It was impossible to hide anything from this angle. He was sitting right on top of Atem's dick and it was hard.

His face was crimson shade. Yugi was certain it was beet red at this point. Atem slid both hands around his waistline and slowly started to move his hips upward.

"Shit," Yugi's face fell when the pleasure struck his own dick like lightning. That felt so fucking good. Luckily Atem picked up on the nuance and held on to Yugi's hips firm, pushing a bit harder.

"Oh, fuuuuuck," he moaned. Yugi leaned his head back. Atem's thoughts grew dirtier with each sound Yugi made. Rubbing their cocks together felt amazing, even though fabric. Atem moved faster and Yugi followed, meeting each other at the hilt. Yugi moaned for more and Atem couldn't help but comply. Yugi had to brace himself on Atem's shoulders to keep from falling over.

It didn't help matters that Atem had been horny for hours before this moment. If Yugi kept making noises like that, he'd cum all over the recliner.

"Mmmm," Yugi's pants were tight, his dick not having any more room to grow. It was painfully hard, but he didn't want to stop. Just a little….more….

"No, wait," Atem huffed. "Not here….bedroom."

Thank God. Having sex from this angle would've been awkward. After Yugi agreed, Atem stood up and carried him in his arms, legs wrapped around his waist like a snake. Yugi couldn't stop kissing him! Atem couldn't concentrate on finding the room. He kissed Yugi back with such fervor, hunger and need. Their tongues danced and explored, reintroducing themselves to familiar tastes from long ago. It was more difficult to navigate the apartment but Atem had a fairly good idea where Yugi's bedroom was.

"Turn left," Yugi broke the kiss temporarily and went back to business. Atem turned and immediately saw a queen size bed in the middle of the room.

Atem unzipped and dropped Yugi's pants to his ankles and after he did the same to his own pants, fell on top of Yugi on the bed. Atem then pulled down Yugi's collar and began sucking his neck. Yugi moaned breathlessly and moved his head to the side so Atem could have more to access.

"You still remember my number one weak spot."

"I remember everything Yugi…" Atem's voice was low and husky. The lust was practically dripping from his mouth. "Open your legs for me."

Yugi did just that. Atem settled his weight in between, their hard dicks meeting once again. His broad forearms boxed Yugi in on either side of his head.

And then Atem started to move. Yugi joined him, crying out each time their hips collided.

"Ahh, ahh—fuck, I'm gonna cum if you keep doing that..."

"Feels good, doesn't it? Relax baby boy, I got you." Atem smirked, and Yugi wanted to smack him for that. Playfully this time. "How long has it been?"

Yugi's eyes slit, confused. "Since…"

"Since you've had sex."

Yugi turned his head away, embarrassed. "Not since you."

"What….?" Atem stopped moving. "You mean to tell me I'm the only one that's ever touched you?"

Yugi couldn't look him in the eye but he timidly answered, "Mhmm."

"Wow. I mean…" Atem didn't know what to say.

"I know I had every right to. I dated other guys, but I could never bring myself to…" his face burned. "Every time it got to the point where the guy wanted to sleep with me, I broke it off."

"Hey, look at me. It's okay." Atem cupped Yugi's chin and turned toward him. "It's not a big deal. I was just curious, that's all."

"I know everyone says you should experiment in college, but I didn't want to do…" Yugi gestured his hand between them. "This with someone else just because it was expected of me."

"And that's totally within your right." Atem went back down to Yugi's neck. "It actually makes me kinda relieved that I'm the only one that's touched you here…" he resumed kissing and suckling. "And here…"

"Mmmmm," Yugi gasped when he felt those lips on him and at the same time, squirming when Atem reached between his legs and gently grabbed his cock. "You're such a tease."

"I just like hearing you moan," Atem smiled and then dipped himself even lower on Yugi's body. He stopped at his belly button, sticking his tongue inside and loving how Yugi reacted to the stimulation. Atem's hands surveyed the rest of his body, not letting a single inch go untouched.

Eventually, he went below his navel and Yugi tensed in anticipation, bending his legs. "Relax for me," Atem softly commanded. He heard Yugi take a deep breath, but he could still feel his nerves.

Yugi was too scared to look down at him. He didn't want Atem to see the flush on his face. Atem's heated breath enveloped his skin before he lapped his tongue around the base of his dick. Yugi arched his back and threaded his fingers through Atem's hair as Atem fully engulfed him in one fell swoop.

"Oh shit...ohh fuck," Yugi repeated over and over. His fingers grasped a handful of hair. Atem sucked and breathed him in like he was sucking on a baby bottle. Yugi thrust his hips against Atem's mouth not realizing he was doing it.

He didn't remember Atem being this good at giving head. Then Yugi thought about the fact that Atem had been with other people and probably had plenty of practice. He quickly erased the thoughts, not wanting his jealousy to resurface and ruin the mood.

Atem bobbed his head up and down, faster and faster, eliciting a helpless moan from Yugi's throat. Something about those sounds just did something to him. Atem loved being the reason for it. He then used his free hand to play with Yugi's balls, squeezing them simultaneously. Yugi could barely keep his hips still.

A spring coiled in his belly, building pressure in his dick. Yugi squeezed his eyes closed, screaming as he came. Atem drank him up, not letting even one drop of cum get wasted.

He slid back up Yugi's body, making sure their skin touched the whole time. Yugi's eyes were glazed over, staring off into space.

"You okay?" Atem couldn't stop smiling. When Yugi didn't answer him, he leaned into his weak spot again.

"Mmm, please, no…" Yugi whimpered. "I can't move my legs."

"You're welcome." Atem nuzzled his nose under Yugi's chin. "I've been dying to do that to you all night."

"Yeah?" Yugi slowly came back to his senses. "I wonder what else you've been wanting to do."

"You might not be able to walk for tomorrow."

"Try me."

"Silly baby. Do you not remember the endless nights that I used to fuck you so good, you begged me to stop because you came so many times?"

"Atem!"

"Uh uh! Don't be shy now."

"That was a decade ago."

"So?"

"So, you can't do it again."

"Wanna bet?"

"Stop looking at me like that!"

Atem grinned deviously. "You know you want me to."

"Hmph," Yugi pouted, crossed his arms and stubbornly looked away.

"Is that a yes?"

Yugi pursed his lips to the side. "I won't stop you."

"I didn't think so…." Atem voice was a deep bass, making Yugi's skin pepper with goosebumps as his lips were on him again. Yugi hummed and opened his mouth letting him in. Their tongues flirted and played in a passionate twist. Yugi could taste his cum still lingering in Atem's mouth.

"Wait. Get up for a second," Yugi said. Atem surrendered, confused. "This needs to come off," he demanded, throwing Atem's tank top over his head. "I gotta see you naked."

"Practice what you preach," Atem snorted, doing the same thing to him.

"Mmm, that's much better." Yugi had a bird's eye view of Atem's muscles, namely his chest, arms, and his rock hard abs. "Damn, you're so fine."

"You flatter me," said Atem. "Do me a favor and scoot back a little. Don't wanna fall off the edge, do you?"

"Knowing you, that might be where we end up."

"We'll see." Yugi crawled backwards to the middle of the bed while Atem followed, not taking their eyes off each other. Once Atem was on top of him again, they resumed kissing.

"I don't know how I lived without you these last ten years but I don't wanna do it any longer," Atem tried to catch his breath in between. His hair and clothes were a mess. But he didn't care. His world was perfect again.

"Less talking, more fucking," Yugi ordered. "If you really miss me, then show me."

"Be careful what you wish for."

Without warning, Atem flipped Yugi over. He perched him up on his knees so that his ass was poking out, facing him.

"What are you doing—oh my God!" Yugi didn't have to wonder very long what Atem was up to when he felt his tongue go in his ass. "Wait, wait!" He'd never done this to him before! "Atem please...oh God…"

"You need to be punished." Was all Atem said before he continued. Yugi didn't know how to deal with this new pleasure. At first, it felt weird, foreign, but somehow Atem was able to reach deep inside and hit Yugi's g-spot.

Yugi balled the sheets in his fist, trying not to scream. This felt even better than the oral Atem gave him earlier. He attempted to level out his breathing, but every time he felt that tongue go inside him, it made him crazy.

"You're gonna make me cum again," he choked. By now, his formerly soft dick had come back to life, reminding him of how easily Atem did this years before. One orgasm was never enough for him.

Just when Yugi was teetering on the edge, Atem stopped. Yugi felt the man's weight leave the bed and he turned around to see what he was doing.

"Condom," Atem told him as if he instinctively knew what Yugi was going to ask. He searched his pockets and a few moments later he found it. Yugi watched him the whole time.

"Can't make a mess on your bed now can we?"

"That's the least of my worries."

"Oh yeah?"

Atem commanded Yugi to turn his head back around with a gesture of his finger. Yugi knew what was coming next. He looked forward at the headboard and waited to feel Atem's weight.

Unwrapping the condom, Atem slipped it on and sat on his knees behind Yugi. "Don't tense up," he whispered. "I don't wanna hurt you."

They'd had sex plenty of times in the past, but for some reason, Yugi felt like a virgin again. Atem took a finger and slowly put it inside him.

"Sssshit," he hissed. He took a deep breath and forced his muscles to relax. Yugi thought Atem was done eating him out, but the older man alternated between his finger and tongue. Atem wanted him to be nice, open and wet before he put his dick inside.

It was agonizing the way Atem played with him. Yugi was leaking and he was so close to his second climax. Atem would only go so far inside him but never touch that spot. Yugi tried to push his ass against him, but Atem forbade it.

"Dammit, stop teasing me! I need to cum."

"You'll cum when I tell you to."

"Damn you—"

Atem smacked his ass to silence him. "Do I need to punish you some more?"

"You're such a jackass!"

Atem's chuckle stirred a smoldering lust in Yugi's belly. He added a second finger, heightening the anticipation even more. Yugi groaned in frustration, wanting to pull his hair out. This was torture!

Atem's fingers dug deeper each time he went in, making Yugi grow more impatient and needy. He rocked his hips, dying to feel that pressure but the bastard wouldn't let him.

"For fuck sakes!" He cried. "Are you trying to kill me?"

"That's what you get for being bad." Atem knew it was wrong but he couldn't help but make Yugi feel desperate. "Ready for me?"

Yugi was coming undone, his tongue malfunctioning, unable to form words. "P—please," he begged. "I can't take it anymore."

Right where he wanted him. Atem and Yugi moved back to the center of the bed. He had Yugi on all fours, facing forward. With a few pumps of his dick bringing it back to life, he poked Yugi's hole indicating that he was coming inside.

Yugi hissed as Atem slowly and carefully sheathed his dick deeper and deeper, being careful not to rupture the ring of muscles that weren't quite ready. Yugi clenched around the appendage, overwhelming Atem with his heat. He wasn't kidding when he said he hadn't been with anyone else.

Atem wanted this to last as long as possible but he wasn't sure how long he'd be able to hold back. Yugi was so fucking tight. He slowly withdrew, but not all the way out, and a few moments later, went right back in easier this time.

"God….dammit," Yugi could hardly think. The tip of Atem's dick touched the bundle of nerves inside but barely. He wanted Atem to ravage him already! "Go faster," he demanded.

"What was that? Are you being bad again, Yugi?" Clearly, Atem was a sadist. He pulled out and went in a little quicker. "I'm gonna have to tame that mouth of yours."

"Do it! I don't care at this point!"

"Wrong answer."

"Wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry—shit!" But it was too late. Atem slammed his hips in, piston-like thrusts in and out, in and out, in and out, as Yugi begged for mercy. God, this was heavenly.

"What was that, Yugi?" Every other second, Atem went deeper, hitting that spot that Yugi so badly wanted him to touch, pushing harder each time. "You're sorry? Huh? Tell me you're sorry."

"I'm s-s-sorry, ahh!" Yugi lost his ability to speak. Atem had a death grip on his waist to use as leverage and if it weren't for that, Yugi would've collapsed on the bed. The more Atem fucked him, the more his brain flooded with rapture. Pre-cum dripped down Yugi's leg, creating wet squelches between their skin.

This is exactly what Atem wanted. To be alone with Yugi late at night, deep inside him making him moan and scream—all because of him. The more he thought about it, the stronger his thrusts, in and out, in and out, while Yugi pushed his ass against him, creating wonderful friction.

Atem didn't want it to end in this position. He wanted to see Yugi's face in full view. He stopped what he was doing, and before Yugi could yell at him, Atem flipped him over on his back.

"Wha—"

"Shhh, Yugi."

Atem was running on primal instinct and pure lust. He pinned Yugi's wrists to the bed, entwining their fingers. Then he spread his legs wide open. Before Yugi knew it, Atem was deep inside him again.

Yugi was able to bury his moans in the pillow before but now he couldn't. He tried his best to keep quiet and avoid waking the neighbors.

But Atem wasn't having that. "Don't hold back, Yugi. I want to hear from you."

"I'm gonna...be too loud!" he drew in a sharp breath when Atem hit his prostate and Yugi saw stars.

"I need to hear you," he growled. Atem's voice was raspy, drunk with greed.

If Yugi wasn't going to scream for him, then Atem was just going to have to make him do it. He moved faster, his frantic thrusts being more than Yugi could keep up with. He tried to match the motions but he was helpless being under Atem's strong, hard body.

"Tell me you love me," Atem breathed against his neck.

"I...love you," Yugi panted, thrusts knocking the wind out of him.

"Louder."

"I love you!"

Atem still wasn't satisfied. His dick moved in and out like a rocket. It sending lightning bolts of pleasure and pain through their sex and Yugi couldn't feel his legs.

"Louder!"

"I LOVE YOU!"

Yugi couldn't take anymore after that. He blacked out as he came even harder than before, screaming euphoria. He exploded between their chests and all over the bed.

That, in turn, became a domino effect as Atem bit down on Yugi's shoulder, groaning in his ear as he filled the condom like a balloon. Yugi wanted so badly to hold Atem through his orgasm but his arms were still restrained. So, he rocked his hips in sync with Atem's, helping him through it until he came down from the high.

Neither of them moved for a long time. Yugi stared off in space with his head in the clouds. Atem struggled to collect himself, face buried in Yugi's neck.

"I'm sorry if I bit you too hard," he said weakly. "I don't know what came over me."

"No," Yugi whispered. He pet Atem's hair to comfort him. "That was amazing. I loved every second of it."

"I guess ten years of pent up frustration will do that to you…"

Eventually, they had to get cleaned up. It hurt a little when Atem pulled out, and their skin was stuck together bound by sweat and semen. Atem got up and fetched two wet washcloths. It was then that Yugi saw that his sheets were completely soaked.

"Holy shit, you really did a number on me," he said, astounded. "I lost control of all my bodily functions."

"Couldn't help it huh?" Atem teased him when he came back into the room. "That's what good sex will do to you."

Yugi blushed. Now that it was over, things felt vulnerable again.

"What is it?" Atem noticed the change of expression on his face. He sat next to Yugi and gave him the washcloth.

"I..." Yugi hesitated. "I want you to ask me."

Atem was confused. "What?"

"Ask me, the same way you wanted to ask me ten years ago."

Atem's heart leaped in his throat. He ran back to the living room and grabbed the small black box that he left on the recliner.

When came back to Yugi's room, he was already in tears.

Atem stood in front of him and got down on one knee. "Yugi Ashton Muto, will you marry me?"

"Yes!"

The romantic in me couldn't help it :')
