Yes My King

Chapter 2

~Yugi's POV~

"Speak."

"My pharaoh," one guard spoke up and stood before him, walking in front of us in line "we have brought these boys before you today to seek your judgement for they have all been guilty of crimes."

"What is the crime they are guilty of?" He asked cooly, scanning over the crowd of young boys would were shaking under his gaze.

"Stealing is what they all have in common but these two," he cuts himself off as he grabs onto me and Joey "actually tried running from us, my jaw is still sore from where the blond one punched me." He let go of my shoulder to rub his jaw to prove a point.

"I see, and what about the other one." The pharaoh asked, intertwining his fingers together in front of his lips, staring deep into me and Joey.

"He's been a good boy, only following his friend and not even putting up a fight when he was caught." He ruffled my hair and I cringed under his touch, closing my eyes and begging silently for him to stop. Luckily, he did.

"Send the other boys to work in the pyramids, I have a special task for these two." He gave a small smirk as he looked at us and I gulped.

"Yes my king." Said another guard as all but 3 guards left to lead the other boys to where they will be working from now on.

"Bring them closer." The pharaoh said and the guards grabbed onto me and Joey to pull us closer.

"Watch your hands, I can move myself." Joey snapped and pulled away from the guard who had him.

"You have some nerve using that kind of tongue in the presence of the pharaoh!" Yelled the guard and pushed Joey to his knees a few feet from the throne.

I slowly walked with the guard who held me and he stopped right next to Joey, letting me go.

"He is a obedient one." Said the pharaoh "these two will be serving in the palace, I shall chose their jobs tonight." He spoke with demand clear in his voice.

"My king are you sure, there two are troublesome." The guard quickly said and motioned mainly at Joey.

"The blond will be taught how to behave, as for the other one," he glanced from Joey to me, his crimson eyes piercing my body "he seems like he is already on his way to being a great servant." He grins and arose from his throne and walked over to me and Joey.

"Tell me, what are your names." His deep voice made my words get caught in my throat. Neither me nor Joey spoke for the longest time.

"Joey's the name." Joey said with resulted in a slap to the back of his head, he grumbled and gave a slight bow, the guard turning to me to do the same thing. I was frozen in my place and still couldn't get my words out as I looked down.

I felt a hand being placed under my chin, forcing me to look up and I was staring right into the pharaoh's red eyes. Me having to slightly look up at him because he was a few inches taller than me.

"And you, little one?" He asked.

My face burned at the nickname but I managed to get out "Y-Yugi...my.. king." I said and averted my gaze which he gave a smile.

"See to it that they are both given rooms and shown around, I have to go to a meeting but make sure they are ready by dinner." The pharaoh says before making his way back down the corridor from which he came.

"Yes my king, come on you two." Said the guard as he pushed us along the opposite direction the pharaoh went.

I can almost still feel the warmth of his hand under my chin, a blush creeps onto my face in embarrassment as I remembered I stuttered over my words while telling him my name.
