No One's POV

After a few weeks went by everything had remained quiet. The town continued to buzz with people of all age and sizes. The palace was in slight uproar due to one person: The Pharaoh. The Pharaoh had been to countless meetings over the course of these few weeks, he ate when he had the time, slept when he had the time, but he mostly spent his day in the meeting room and everyone was worrying about his well being. Sure, he's eating and sleeping some but he is under so much stress that when one of the servants dropped a silverware when picking a dish Atem flipped out, which he never does to his slaves. Heck, he's even yelled at (name), but (name), being the lovely wife she is, endured Atem's rising voice. She was extremely upset afterwards and she knew why Atem was stressed but for some reason she felt as if something was holding her back from comforting Atem, to hold Atem telling him everything would be fine.

And what held her back was fear.

She was afraid of Atem. She had never been so afraid of him before, even when they weren't married. 

'This is insane! Akefia is driving Atem insane with this war talk!'

With a sigh (name)'s heart began to race 'if this is how stressed Atem can get than as his wife I need to help him' Just the thought of the shouting gave (name) chills but she sucked up her faltering courage and decided that she would just have to talk to Atem about this.

So throughout the day, (name) had paced around the room trying to calm down her beating heart while thinking the life in her stomach 'I can tell Atem about that later' (name) decided to herself. (Name) kept thinking of a good way to start the conversation. Her conclusion led to relaxing Atem first to lessen the chance of the two screaming at each other before one strikes another. 

The sound of dragging footsteps signaled that Atem was coming closer to the room so (name) had stepped out the balcony to calm her racing heartbeat that beated out of anxiety. Taking a deep breath (name) turned around seeing Atem sitting on the bed "h-hey Atem" (name) said with a smile closing the balcony door once inside as she took a seat beside Atem who exhaled deeply "hello" he greeted back simply.

'Now or never.'

(Name) thought to herself as she leaned her head on Atem's shoulder "Atem... Can we talk for a little bit. If you don't want to then that's ok" (name) spoke with a nervous look. Atem nodded his head "sure. Hearing your voice after a long meeting soothes me" Atem said making (name) nod her head. Her heart was beating so fast at the moment that she had to catch her breath "well, it's about the meetings... I-I know what they're about" (name) lifted her head and Atem stood up with shock "How?!" He questioned. (Name)'s palm began to sweat "B-Badru found it and brought it to me" (name)'s voice quivered and shook and continued doing so when she tried clearing her throat "do you s-see how stressed you-you've been because of A-Akefia's declaration?" (Name) bit her lip. 

Atem looked at (name) with wide eyes knowing that she was right. His stress had built up ever since he had gotten Akefia's letter. Atem closed his eyes inhaling deeply before exhaling deeply  "(name)" Atem said sternly scaring the girl in front of him "yes?" (Name) asked meekly. Atem raised his hand making (name) shut her eyes close in fear only to feel Atem's hand ruffling her hair. Opening both eyes slowly (name) saw Atem with a smile as Atem brought her into a hug "I cannot apologize because how I acted can not be forgiven with an apology" (name) sighed with relief as she wrapped her arms around Atem's neck "oh my Ra. You have no idea how scared I was to talk to you" (name) breathed out and Atem chuckled. 

(Name) had given Atem a massage to ease his muscles and the two sat outside in the cool night letting Atem clear his head as (name) sat beside him holding his hand. When the couple came back in the room, (name) closed the balcony door and went to the bed where Atem started to lay in. 

The soft sounds of the night animals and the gentle hue of blue the moon gave off was very soothing. Atem laid beside (name) who had fallen asleep "I'm suppose to be the tired one" Atem chuckled turning back to the balcony window before getting out of the bed and walking to the window. The scenery of the night desert was a peaceful scene. But of course there was always something to counter that. In this case, that was Akefia. Atem sighed "I need to quit thinking" he said before going back to the bed as he laid down cuddling with (name) letting his mind go blank as sleep took him.
