Defense mode

I was finally getting ready for a shower. The whole story with Kaiba and the tournament made me a little upset. It is true that I am a sensitive person, but agree with the fact that this time there was a good reason for these feelings to shake me. With the dripping water, maybe I could wash away the sensation that runs through me and the body too, it would be very welcome.

I removed my clothes, and as usual, left the millennium hanging from one of the support pipes for towels and went into the shower. I turned on the shower at last, and let the water drain, getting used to the temperature. I stayed for minutes in the water, and when I went to get the soap, I realized that it wasn't in the soap dish. I sighed, annoyed that I had to get out of the warm water to get one from the bathroom drawers. That's when I heard a deep voice in the boxing gap.

- On here.

I turned around, totally distracted, and took the hand that stood between that gap, the soap.

- Ah thank you.

It was when I turned around, already running the soap over my body, that a snap was made. Almost a reality check. Perhaps because of the extreme distraction, I just didn't realize that it was impossible for someone to be inside my bathroom.

A chill ran down my spine and I froze for a while, trying to discern something through the box's foggy glass. Unfortunately by the steam of the hot water, the glass was really foggy, and I had to move my shaky legs to move out of the box and see who my intruder was ... manic soap maker.

I slowly pulled the glass out of the shower, making it slide to the side and giving the least space for my shy head to sneak around and look at the rest of the bathroom. My heart was already racing, it started to hurt so fast that it was after I noticed who was in the bathroom. Atem's silhouette was formed on the opposite wall, his body against the wall. Arms crossed and legs put for support, one being folded against the wall.

Even with his eyes closed, I felt extremely exposed. His expression was soft, as if it were normal for him to invade me that way. Unable to move my lips to say anything, I waited paralyzed for his eyes to open.

It was a bad idea, in the end. Atem was provocative. Even if it was not his intention, all of Pharaoh's movements were charming in the extreme. His eyes slowly opened and his lilac irises looked at me intently. The parted lips and the imposing posture made my cheeks not hesitate to blush completely. I quickly entered the box and closed the door, almost slamming it, so fast. My breathing was already starting to get high, since I couldn't control myself and calm down.

- Yugi? - Pharaoh's low voice called to me.

- Uh… F-pharaoh? - My voice came out shaky - What are you doing here?

- Huh, my thoughts are connected with yours. So I knew that you needed soap, and it was also an excuse for me to get out of this millennium. My office is strangely irritating today.

- Huh, thanks, but ... can you excuse me? Back to the millennium ... I don't know.

- Huh? Why?

- Come on ... I'm taking a shower. Please, I'm ashamed.

- Ashamed of me? The voice came out gravely and then came a muffled laugh.

- What are you laughing about??? - Said a little annoyed. He was laughing at my situation!

- Excuse me. It's just that we have the same body ... it's not like something new to me, Yugi.

- It's not what I'm saying! Is different! - At this moment, I realized that the boxing door was already beginning to defog. I needed to be quick and get him out of there. - Please, I don't feel comfortable. - The voice comes out more childish for some reason, as if he was hurt by something.

- It's all right. I'm leaving. - His voice was muffled.

In addition to my heartbeat, I could now hear Atem's footsteps roaming the bathroom, and the sound of the door opening and closing. I sighed in relief and put my hand on my heart, which was now beginning to calm down a little. I don't know if I was rude to him, but if I was, it wasn't my intention. Maybe I should apologize to him, so I tried to finish my long shower while I thought of some good words for a short excuse and an explanation to Pharaoh.

I wrapped myself in a towel, and left the bathroom. I looked at the room completely, but Atem was not there. I took the opportunity to dry off and get dressed. I was putting on my warm shirt already, when the bedroom door creaked warning that someone was coming in. Pharaoh's slender body then entered the room, closing the door behind him. His eyes found me for seconds, before straying to any other point.

He sat in the corner of the room, on a chair, crossed his legs and rested his face on his arm. He looked at me for a while, with his serene face. I myself had to scold myself, because it seemed even more provocative that way. Heavens, what's happening to me? Had he always been like this?

- Pharaoh - I called graciously - Sorry to expel you like that. It was rude of me. - I scratched my hair, shamefully.

- Okay Yugi - He smiled slightly, and his cheerful eyes looked at me. - I owe you an apology.

- No, no, you're right. I shouldn't have bothered so much. You are always with me. - I smiled widely.

He stood up and walked over to the window, his expression soft and neutral again. He looked at the view a little and turned his eyes towards me.

- So, you don't mind?

- No, no. It's okay, it was just a surprise. - Smile.

- That's not what I'm talking about. He crossed his arms and looked at me more intently.

- Huh ??? - I frowned.

- You don't mind the fact that we kiss? - His eyes strayed.

I was immediately surprised. My cheeks flushed again and my hands sweated again in nervousness. He had really touched on the subject, one of which I thought would eventually succumb to our relationship.

I looked down and bit my mouth, thinking about what to say. I really loved that kiss. I liked Atem that way, in a different way than just our usual friendship. And for me, it had been magical to feel his touches. However, I wouldn't tell him all that, it would sound strange, and I don't know what his reaction might be.

- I was very happy, actually ...- The voice came out shyly.

He looked at me and then approached me, pushing me lightly with his hands to the wall. His eyes now looked at me very closely, and his arms lightly hold mine, pinning them to the wall. My heart was racing at this moment, and I was looking at him in some surprise.

- That means - He ran his lips over my ear - What can I do what I want then? The voice came out thick, seductively close.

I was unable to answer anything. I looked away quickly, while I felt a shiver run through my entire body. That voice ... I just stared at him again when his lips came to meet me. He brushed his lips over me, before taking me in a kiss. I let go and came back, coming and going with those touches. Infinite pecks that pressed my lips together in an addictive sensation.

Pharaoh then stopped kissing and turned his eyes attentively to the door. I was too nervous to notice, but Atem managed to hear the footsteps of someone close to the room perfectly. The door was already opening, when he stepped away from me a little and put his hand quickly in my hair, gently pulling a lock and examining it.

- No, no, it's normal. - He said suddenly.

My grandfather was entering the room at that moment and I turned my eyes to him, as well as Atem, who already expressed a neutral face. Grandpa smiled a little and looked at us.

- What was Yugi? Complaining about your hair again? He gave an amused laugh and put his hands on his hips.

- He's saying the blond wires are out of place. - Atem said, making a light face.

- Haha, I'm glad you have Atem. - He laughed - I came to tell you that dinner is ready. Pharaoh accompanies us?

- With pleasure, Mr. Muto. - Pharaoh responded lovingly

- Ok grandpa. We're on our way then. - I smiled slightly.

He smiled and left the room. I sighed in relief and looked sheepishly at Atem who was walking to the door already.

- Where are you going?

- Dinner. We're not going to keep your grandfather waiting, right? - He made an innocent face and looked at me, opening the door - Come.

I don't understand it sometimes. I think I preferred it when our minds were connected. I sighed and walked over to him. Dinner was especially nice, aside from the fact that I was very shy of Pharaoh's presence and still thinking about the dirty things he said to me minutes earlier in the room. Grandpa's food was wonderful as always, we just thanked him and went back up to the room, saying good night.

I probably hoped that dinner would never end, because I was too embarrassed to have to deal with being alone with Pharaoh again. I could barely look him in the eye, so he just walked to the bathroom and took the millennium and brought it. He gently put the chain around the object around my neck and looked at me smiling. A very beautiful smile.

- You need to rest. His deep voice reverberated.

Although embarrassed, I didn't want him to leave either. I felt indecisive. Atem made me feel many things at the same time, I think it is much more difficult to make decisions when it comes to him. I looked at him calmly, and he was already approaching to brush his lips on my forehead. He left his peck there and looked at me with soft eyes. I could have sworn, that before he went back to the millennium, a small flash of the figure of the same occurred to me.

With red eyes.
