Epilogue

"Aibou, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Atem asked on their way back to the shop, Yugi living out his dream of holding hands with the man as they went. They walked alone, their friends having taken the car to console Anzu on the way home.

"Well, I was afraid that you wouldn't like me any more if you found out that I… played for the other team." He gave him a faint smile.

Atem stopped and placed a finger under Yugi's chin, directing his gaze to his eyes, "How could I ever not like you, Aibou?"

"Well… I thought it would be better to be safe than sorry. But it looks like it worked out better the other way around this time," Yugi answered, giving a mischievous smile. But it quickly turned into a pout, "But if you loved me this whole time, then you should be the one giving the explanation!"

Atem laughed a bit at Yugi's adorable face, "I had the same reason as you, apparently. I was too afraid that you wouldn't like me anymore, or would find me appalling if you knew… And Anzu was right there- I thought she could help me move on, I suppose…" He said as he lured Yugi to a bench.

"So you used her!? …Guess we both owe her an apology…" He sat on the bench.

"Yes. But, I owe you one first."

"What for?"

"I broke your Game Cube."

"You did what!? Atem, I swear, I'm going to-!" Yugi's threat was smothered in another kiss. I'm going to… deal with it later…he thought, slowly settling into a laying position, reveling in Atem's touch as his hands explored his body, looking for Yugi's pleasure spots. He felt Atem's smirk curl around his lips when he found one, Yugi's moan seeming to ask for more as the curtain of night finally fell around them.
