We're going to have to pack today to leave for tomorrow.. returning back to Japan. I feel like I'm experiencing a great loss a bit awkward, restless even. I don't like to leave either because of the situation concerning Ryou and Malik, but we have obligations to fulfill and just can't stay any longer. Thank goodness for modern communication- cellphones, e-mails.. it works so much faster and more efficient.

Concerning Ryou- he called me on my cellphone to let me know he's all right, but that he's going to need some time to think. Malik needs to think and contemplate his part -and his feelings- in this situation as well, but for now, everybody is safe.. and accounted for.

Mou hitori no Malik, I will have a word with you when I return.

Mou hitori no Ryou, your hikari has been found, but I respect his wish to not divulge any information about his whereabouts. He needs some time alone.

I'm going to watch the sun rise. Tomorrow is my last chance to watch it rise in my homeland for a long, long time.

*looks back at the sunrise, melancholy written all over his face*

We have only tomorrow left, aibou.. to see this here..

*brings a hand to Atemu's face, thumbing across his cheeks* Mou hitori no boku? My love? What's wrong?

*scootes closer, love and concern drifting through their link*

*smiles usual "Me-is-Pharaoh-and-I'm-good-at-pretending-everything-is-allright" smile*

Nothing is wrong, aibou. It's just too bad that we don't get to see a sunrise like this again very soon.. but such is life.. we have to pack today, remember..? Don't forget all the souvenirs..

*doesn't say anything*

*simply looks in Atemu's eyes, concern in his own*

*keeps his hand on Atemu's cheek, waiting for him to explain*

*still thinks he can get away with it if he just smiles enough*

... and don't forget the laptop, it would be very inconvenient if we would forget the laptop..

*entwines his fingers with Yuugi's*

*still regards Atemu seriously*

*realizes he's not going to get anything from Atemu, sighs, shaking his head and stands*

I'll go and pack now, then.

July 14 2005, 16:47:12 UTC 6 years ago

No! *blushes* I mean.. no.. not yet..

*still has his hand entwines with Yuugi's*

Aibou.. will you.. will you please sit next to me until the sun has risen.. please..?

*nods, sitting down again*

*watches Atemu carefully*

*stays silent, not wanting to pressure Atemu into talking*

*sighs softly*

*loosely wraps arm around him, pulling him a little closer*

*silently watches the sun rising*

It's beautiful, isn't it, aibou?

//*thoughts slip through link* I wonder how long it will take before I ever be able to see this again.. *wave of melancholy*//

*shifts closer into Atemu's embrace*

*feels the sadness running through their link*

*eyes dull in sadness* If... Would... Do you want to stay here, mou hitori no boku? I... *pauses, brow furrowing in thought*

*sighs, making his descision* I will stay here with you, if that's what you'd like.

July 14 2005, 17:39:09 UTC 6 years ago

*turns his head around to face him, smiling at him*

Aibou.. I.. I have to leave this behind me. It can never be the way that it was.. Egypt has nothing to offer me, and I have nothing to offer Egypt. My place is with you.. my life is with you.. wherever you will go, I will go. I have to stop.. chasing dreams who can never come true.. we have obligations, family, in Japan.

*kisses him on the forehead* I'm just a foolish Pharaoh, habibi..

July 14 2005, 17:42:36 UTC 6 years ago

*puts his hands on Atemu's cheeks, concern and guilt drifting through their link*

But... if you're happy here... I.. I just want you to be happy, and if that means staying here, starting a new life here, I'd do it. All for you. I'll chase any and all of your dreams with you. I love you and I don't want you to feel like you have to fill an obligation by living with me in Japan...

[info]_atemu_

July 14 2005, 17:56:48 UTC 6 years ago

*puts his hands over Yuugi's*

No need to feel guilty, aibou. Like I've said, I'm a foolish Pharaoh.. I should leave those memories behind me and focus on the future where I'm dreaming of starting my own antiquity shop in Cairo and write a book.. besides, any place is fine as long as it's on your side.. I want to wake up everyday next to you, live with you, make love to you.. you are my world and my everything..

No, no obligation, aibou. Remember, you have to study to become a doctor. *smiles*

July 14 2005, 18:10:07 UTC 6 years ago

*doesn't meet Atemu's eyes, brow furrowed, deep in thought*

I... *blinks, thinking* I... want... no. If you want this, my husband, then I will grant it for you... There are universities here. I can study to be a doctor at the American university in Cairo. *pauses, thinking some more* I'd... I'd do it for you, you know. Maybe... Maybe we can even open a game shop like jii-chan's... a-and sell antiquities like you'd want to.

*looks up into Atemu's eyes, his own thoughtful*

*gives Atemu a lopsided grin* Sometimes, it doesn't matter what I want, mou hitori no boku. We're partners and I don't want you to feel like you have to follow me. Sometimes I want to be the one that follows you. And it doesn't matter where we live as long as you keep that promise to wake up next to me, live with me, and make love to me... That's all I've ever asked for.

*brings Yuugi's hand to his face and kisses his finger*

Aibou.. that is something I could never ask of you. You have family and friends.. we have family and friends in Domino. You can't leave that behind, I don't ask it of you to leave it behind. We.. no, I have to be realistic and face that Egypt is.. in my past.

*kisses Yuugi's be-ringed finger*

*shakes his head* Aibou, I don't feel like I have to follow you. My place is next to you, so wherever you go, I go. No question about it. I love you.. and I will always keep my promise to wake up next to you, to live with you and to make love to you.. I took my vows and swore I would take care of you and love you and guard you for the rest of my life, aibou.

July 14 2005, 19:26:37 UTC 6 years ago

*sighs dejectedly, looking down in his lap*

If that's what you truely want, mou hitori no boku, that's fine with me...



*whispers* I just want you to be happy... Whatever it takes...

[info]_atemu_

July 14 2005, 19:39:07 UTC 6 years ago

*hugs him close, leaning with his forehead against Yuugi's*

I am happy, aibou.. my place is with you.. but I guess it wouldn't hurt if we.. looked into it.. you know? Maybe we can find a small shop.. where we could trade in games and antiquities.. I would love to write a book.. I know I'm not a good writer, but I'd love to try.. and the universities in Cairo are internationally renowned..

*sighs softly* It would be too much to ask, aibou.. but this is my home.. if.. if we aren't going to live here, I want to die here.. when my time has come.. I want to rest forever in my homeland.

July 14 2005, 19:48:27 UTC 6 years ago

*leans his forehead against Atemu's as well, looking in his eyes*

Mou hitori no boku... *puts his hand on Atemu's cheek* Can you honestly tell me where you would be the most happy? Forget obligations... forget all that other stuff. Just... where do you want to be the most. Because, I will be there, right by your side...

I don't care what people say or what they want us to do, or even what the future might bring. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But for now, what do you want, mou hitori no boku.

It really doesn't matter what I want or what you think you'd be asking of me. I'll do anything. I'll die, right by your side, here, in your homeland if this is the place where you want to rest forever. You are my future, now that I am your husband.

[info]_atemu_

July 14 2005, 20:07:09 UTC 6 years ago

*leans into his touch*

If.. if you ask of me to honestly tell you where I'd be the most happy.. I will always answer that I'm the most happy when I'm at your side, aibou, no matter where we physically are. My place is at your side..

*pauses*

*softly*

Egypt, aibou. *closes his eyes* I want to see the sun rise.. I want to smell the cinnamon and spices on the market.. I want to hear the people talk in my language.. I want to learn and read and write and trade, in my homeland.. but most of all, I want you to be with me... forever.

[info]puzzle_master

July 14 2005, 20:22:44 UTC 6 years ago

*smiles gently, thumbing over Atemu's cheek*

Then I'll stay here with you. I'll have to finish high school, of course, but after that...

I can go to the universities and still become a doctor like you want me to be, and you can live here in that land that you love so much. We can open up a shop like you want to and go to the markets. You can even teach me your language. And everynight, we can make love under the stars of your the land of your forefathers or swim in the Nile, and we'll be happy together. And I'd do it all because I love you.

OMG Atemu. Thank you so much for letting us know that Ryou is okay. I feel like I can breathe now.

[info]_atemu_

July 14 2005, 16:48:39 UTC 6 years ago

I'm already glad he called me, Malik, though I would be very surprised if he didn't- after all, he promised me and as far as I know, Ryou has never broken a promise. He is fine, but told me he needed time to think things over. He's safe and accounted for, Malik, so I suggest you leave him be for the moment.. both of you have lots of thinking to do.
