Yami looked fondly at his sleeping aibou. The boy's birthday was coming up soon, and the pharaoh was completely stumped
as to what would show the deep appreciation he felt for his friend. Well, there was /one/ thing, but by today's standards...
Yuugi shifted in his sleep. Uh-oh. Yami wondered briefly if he were thinking too hard. If he weren't careful, the boy
would wake and he'd be busted. The pharaoh sighed as the sun began to rise. Another night gone and he was still no closer
to a present for his precious aibou.

Later that week, Yuugi invited Jou and Tea over for studying and homework. Yami wasn't paying too much attention until
Jou said something that caught it.
"Ya know, wit what Takahashi-san said about Ancient Egyptians in class, Ah'm surprized da pharaoh don't go nuts alone
inside dat puzzle."
Aforementioned pharaoh took his spirit form near Yuugi. "Why do you say that, Jounouchi?" he asked.
"Pharaoh!" Jou was suddenly embarrassed. "You heard dat?!?"
"Yes. I was just wondering what you were refering to."
"You and your big mouth," Tea smirked.
"What is it, Jounouchi?" Yami asked once more.
"Dat... uh... You tell 'im, Tea."
"You baby," the girl scolded. "Jou was just pointing out something our teacher said in class. That Ancient Egyptians
were quite, ah, permiscious."
"Ah, I see," the pharaoh replied, not flinching. He hung around teenagers. This subject was bound to come up sooner or
later. He'd never really been shy about it, either. "I suppose we were, by today's standards. But in our culture, if someone
made love to someone else, especially if they already had a lover they were devoted to, then that person was more precious
and dear to them than thier own lives. That was just how we showed it."
Yuugi could feel the hope Yami was eminating, but only the pharaoh knew he was hoping the boy was understanding perfectly
every word that was coming from his mouth at that moment.
"Would you... tell us more Yami?" his aibou humbly asked. "I'm sure you could tell us more than our teacher could."
"Yeah, tons more!" Jou agreed. Tea nooded her agreement.
"Certainly," the paraoh agreed.
