The Pharaoh's Rose (Atem/Yami Yugi x Reader)

Season 5; Episode 2

==========================================

"YOU ACTUALLY KISSED HIM?!" Mai gasped and watched you nod,

"Y...Yeah.." You confirmed,

"YES! About time!" Mai clapped her hands together with excitement, "Please tell me ALL the deets, how did it happen?!"

"Well...uh...."

"Did he at least say he loved you before he made out with you?" Mai smirked as you gasped,

"M...Mai-"

"Whhaaatttt?" Mai smirked, "You mean to tell me you had that hunk of a king to yourself and you didn't take it to the next level?"

"W-" Your face turned red, "M-M-Mai..."

"I'll be very disappointed if you didn't." Mai sneered, "Did you?"

You stared at her before your mind flashed back to when you and Yami had that intimate moment. As though you felt that thrill and friction run down your spine, you shuddered and finally gave her a tiny nod. Mai smirked at this and clasped her hands together,

"This calls for a celebration. Oh yes, it definitely does." Mai nods as she rises from her bed and over to the kitchen down the hall. She took you over to her place, it was a small condo that actually fit her style - light purple walls surrounded her bedroom that had hot-pink sheets, her pillows were heart-shaped and besides her queen-sized bed was a mini wooden drawer that had a small lamp. Her wardrobe was very old-fashioned but styled with tiny crystals that hovered over her main mirror. Her desk was also the same texture as the mini drawer next to the bed and had more drawers that hid a laptop Mai uses for work purposes. Mai burst back into the room with a bottle of wine and two glass cups. You blinked and stared at her - when you and Mai entered her condo, she immediately asked you about you and Yugi while slipping into her pajamas - which was a pink tank top and purple loose pants. Her hands flaunted the drinks and quickly ran over to sit beside you with a smirk on her face as she popped open the bottle,

"Finally! About damn time you and Yugi took it to the next step~!" She hummed as she filled the cups halfway before putting the bottle aside and giving one glass to you.

"You are so lucky Nymphi isn't here." You giggled as you took the glass of wine from her hands. Mai winked at you and took a sip from hers once her glass gently touched yours as a toast. Once you and Mai had the first sip, you stared at the wine in your cup with your eyes narrowed.

"Wow...I haven't been this happy in a while." Mai sighed with her body relaxing,

"Hey....Mai?" You looked at her,

"Hm?" Mai looked at you,

"...I have a question."

"OOh~ Tell it to me girl~"

It's a feeling that had been puzzling you since Dartz had been taken care of. As much as you want to cherish this moment...for some reason..

"....I....don't know how to describe this....but....the Seal of Orichalcos has been...acting strange."

"Uh oh," Mai blinked, "Big ol' dragon jealous it can't sip this luscious wine?"

Questioning if Mai was lightweight, you continued, "...No...like, it's trying to tell me I don't belong here..like in this world. Like there's something I need to do - think of how I was back in the Battle City Tournaments."
