Between Time (Pharaoh Atem X OCReader)

Key

🌾Evelyn🌾

The puzzle was easier to assemble now. I knew where each piece went.
It was late in the evening now rain started dribbling down the windows.

I couldnt help but think of the pharaoh. I wondered if he too thought it was a dream.

I placed the eye in the center of the amulet.

Nothing.

I let out a soft sigh, it must of been a dream. I grabbed some cold pasta from the fridge and began making a small dinner before heading to bed.

I sat at the table staring at it. Part of me wanting something to occur something to justify that dream.
I took a few bites before becoming nauseous.

I decided to head to bed.  I was Feeling bad about believing in the puzzles time travel abilities. I must of made it all up. I rested my head down on my soft bed my blankets warm.

Cool breeze.

Smooth sheets.

Is this a dream?

I opened my eyes I saw silk curtains blowing in the wind an open doorframe to a wide balcony.

I am back?

I lifted myself to see I was wearing the white linens that the Pharaoh had helped me with.
Ive never...pick up from a dream before.

I stood up from the bed. Was he here?
I slowly walked toward the balcony. There he was leaning agaist the stone balcony deep in thought.

I stood in the doorway unsure if I should disturb. Him would he remember me?

His eyes glanced over his shoulder he immediately jumped.

"Y-you!, where.. Where have you been?"

He definitely remembered

I casually walked to him

"My own time I guess...I still think I'm dreaming. I'm not sure. I was home until I fell asleep"

He was surprised, and seemed speechless.

"I...thought I had gone mad...." His fingers slowly messaging his temples. It seemed he to was lost in this encounter.

"I...am starting to believe this is real"

Atems eyes returned to me, a small painful smile appeared on his face

"Is that....so?'

I shrugged "yes..it seems this is very-"

Atem had come closer to me now, his hands wrapped around my waist, catching me off guard. I felt his lips press to my forehead.

He let out a sigh...of what seened to be relief.
"I agree with you.."

"I havent slept since you left...please...lay with me." His voice seemed to ache was my dissaperence really this hard on him? A great powerful Pharaoh weak over me?

"Of..of course" I nodded.

Atem grabbed mt hand before leading me to his bed.

His body and arms wappes around me tightly. His head rested on my shoulder. I listened as his quickend breath slowed down. He went to sleep so quickly. I wondered if I slept...if I would return home...I didnt...I wasnt ready to go home again...something...pulled me to him.

I woke up next to him. My heaet races I must of fallen sleep. But I'm still here. I felt a rush of relaxation now.
I turned to face atem his eyes promply opening making my body heat up his eyes were so enticing.

His hand generally carassed my face
A soft smile appeared.
Tonight is the festival. You will come?

I laughed "I dont really have a choice.."

Atem smirked. No..u don't..

His thumb gently rubbed my cheek causing me to blush. I was embarrassed. His touch made me bubble up like a kid on Christmas

Atem gently got up from the bed now. The sun made his body glow. He looked like a god. He was so..gorgeous

"I shall send for you later, you will be addressed by one of my servets"

"Wait? What?" I asked

Atem came back go me now gently grabbing my chin

"If you are to attend my party, you must look the part"

His smile almost senical.

"I must head to the throne room..to attend to matters...stay here until I call for you" he threw on his cape before leaving me in his room.

I threw myself back into the bed. I felt warm...I felt.. Tension between him and I. And it was strange.

It wasnt long before 3 women came in.

They must be his personal stylists. I giggled to myself

They took control of me off my clothing with out a moments notice before gathering me into the pharaohs bath. There they touched me...everywhere rubbing oils all over my body. It smelled like patchouli and lavander. The brushed my hair out it felt nice dispite it being awkward it felt like a day in a spa.

They dressed me in a new dress, much more beautiful then the prior one. Scarb beetle wings and gold decorated the dress beautifully. Embroidered along the edges of the dress.
They braided my hair partiually and let the rest loose my hair was thick and curly

Jewlery decorated my body. 2 gold Rings a gold necklace  bangle bracelets. They were all so beautiful, and handcrafted.

It was more excessive then I was used to id never been one to dazzle up too much not even for a meeting.
I wasnt one to ever wear make up either, let alone ancient make up. They carefully painted my face warm colors.

When they brought me a hand mirror, I hadly recognized myself my eyes with black liner thin and elegant. My lips were red, my cheeks and eye shadow had a considerement of a warm gold hue. I felt...beautiful..I really felt like I never had before.

I thanked the women whom bowed to me befoee heading out. They didnt speak to me much, I wondered if its what they are told to do. Strange to feel important, this must be like what royalty lived like.
