A (Military) Dog Tag

Your hand closed around a rectangular piece of metal. You pulled it out of the bag and instantly knew who's object this was. The one thing that gave it away was the Hieroglyphs that were written on it. 

Yami walked up to you, reaching for your hand that still held the dog tag. "Hello, (Y/N). Can you read what it says?"  He asked, taking your hand in his as he lead you to the closet. 

"Yes. It says "Atem". Is that your Egyptian name?"  You asked the former pharaoh, tilting your head. 

"Yes, it is..."  He trailed, his usually confident voice becoming shy and quiet. 

"Are you okay, Yami? Errr- Atem?"  You corrected, your back hitting the closet wall as your eyes adjusted to the surrounding darkness. 

Silence answered you, making you feel awkward. You called his name again, poking him gently. 

"Hmmm? Sorry,"  He apologized, rubbing the back of his neck, his hand closing around the chain that held the dog tag.  

You thought for a second, your mind racing: "I hope he's okay... Actually, he might just want a friend to listen to him. Or maybe he's conflicted about whether or not to let his spirit go back to Egypt..."

"Um, Atem. If you want to talk to me, you can. We don't have to play the game,"  You spoke softly, feeling your heart break as you said that. You quickly wiped the single tear from your eye, turning to face the former pharaoh. 

"Well, I just-" His silky and deep voice cut off, as you saw him move towards you, the puzzle around his neck shiny dimly. Little did you know he was having a conversation with Yugi...

Yugi: ...Seriously, Yami. Just go for it! Usually, I would be the shy and timid one, but since you're the one that likes (Y/N), just go for it!

Yami: Um... I'd love to Yugi. I just haven't had practice in over 5,000 years...

Yugi: *rolls eyes* Stop making up excuses and go for it! You're a charmer, and it'll come naturally once you open up your mouth! 

Yami: I- uh -.... wait, what, Yugi? I'm a what? What did you just call me? {[A/N]: if you get the reference, good for you. Have a cookie🍪} 

Yugi: *sighs and facepalms* I said you're a charmer. That's a compliment. Now go talk to her before she thinks you've lost your mind, or lost interest in her. 

Yami nods, before a yell snaps him out of his thoughts. "Three minutes!" 

"Um, (Y/N)..." 

You turn towards the taller male.  "Hmm?" 

He takes a deep breath.  "I like you. Ever since I met you, and saw how you light up a room. I admired your dedication and support when we went to search for my memories. And now that I have them, I wanted to tell you the truth..." 

You widened your eyes.  "The...truth? About what?"  You cautiously took a step towards him. 

"About...us. You were my queen, and now that I know that, I want you as my girlfriend in this life. I want to stay with you here. I love you, and I don't want to ever lose you again,"  He says, pulling you close as he hugs you, his hot breath tickling your neck. 

You hug him back.  "Oh Atem! I love you too." 

He pulls away just enough to place a soft but passionate kiss on your lips, before the door opens, blinding both of you.
