Chapter 1: How did you meet?
“Yugi Muto, what a win and after 10 years of being absent from duel monsters, one would think you become rusty overtime but it didn’t seem to bother you one bit. How do you do it?” the reporter that was invited for this event asks him with the same enthusiasts a reporter always has.Yugi laughs to the camera and taking a small step back as to not eat the microphone that almost is shoved into his face. “Even though I didn’t attend for this long, I still did kept up my game by playing with my friends and my beloved partner.”“Ah yes, the one who robbed you of your Batchelor status, rumours are saying she had a child before you two met, how did that go? Did the kid accept you right on the dot?”“Heba and I both took a liking straight of the bat towards each other, I even think it’s safe to say he took some of my features that helped me out of trouble many times before, even his stepsisters love me. My lover and stepson are here to support me, if you wish I can call them on stage.” Yugi says while motioning his husband and son on the stage.“Your stepson?”“I adopted him as my own shortly before I got married with my rock in the branding. Everybody, this is my beloved husband Atem Sennen, and our son Heba Sennen.” Yugi says plucking the boy from the ground and hug him while Atem takes his place next to Yugi and placing his arm around his hip.“Welcome, so what is the story behind the two of you? How did you meet each other?”“It happened when I was looking for a job, while having a feeding tube, and believe me finding a job like that isn’t easy, but this man gave me a chance and so much more.” Yugi explains and he can see the reporter is eager to hear what he has to say.“Care to share?” the man indeed asks and Yugi looks towards Atem who is taking Heba from Yugi’s arm.“I don’t see any harm in telling our story.” He says.“Well, as I told you, it happened when I was looking for a job while having a feeding tube, I was rejected most of the times since they know me because of my status King of Games, or they rejected me because I had caught something that prevented me eating solid foods for a while. This man however looks to what the eye can’t see.”“What do you mean he looks to what the eye can’t see?”“He sees things you don’t see. He sees potential where someone else would not. He looks past the disabilities and even helps them getting comfortable and overcome their insecurities…..” Yugi starts his story about how he became a game/security system developer, husband and father all thanks to this man.

Chapter 2: Looking for a job.
20 year old Yugi Muto, walks angrily towards his car, trying his hardest to hold the tears that are threatening to fall, but feels he is failing miserably. “Why did I even bother to come if they reject me before getting to know me at all?” he mutters softly between his gentle sobs. “I should have known they are like the others, and this time even worse, an hour drive, five minutes inside only to be kicked out like I’m a freak of nature.” He says while opening the car and plopping down on the seat. Placing his head against the wheel from his beloved royal blue Fort with his trademark Kuribo and KOG signature stickered on the hood, resting it there to find his composure back but still, tears stream down his cheeks allowing himself to cry softly now.When he feels he somewhat is calmed down, he takes his phone out his pocket, still feeling rejected, and in need of comfort before he starts the drive home, he calls his elder to tell the news and hopefully comes home safely.
Phone call:
Waiting till the elder picks up the phone, he doesn’t even wait till the elder speaks the usual greeting in the receiver. “It went horrible, he rejected me the moment he saw me walk in.” the young man says in the phone and listen to the soothing words he always gets when calling and talking to his elder.“Oh son, you know you find a place to work eventually. Just make a game out of it.”“Yeah, I know, but still, I had hoped they would look past it this time.” he sighs in the phone. “Maybe I just need to call the hospital and ask if they still can give me the other option, then maybe they accept me because they can’t see it.” He says listening again while stroking his cheek in the process feeling the item that sits there little over four years now.“That would go against everything you believe in and worked for during college, you proved over there it wasn’t a down keeper, and you will prove it in the working field mister!” the elder says sternly making the younger find his courage back. “Are you okay now?” the elder asks when he hears his grandson calming down.“Yeah, I come home now; I need to call the other companies I found and didn’t send a resume to, if there is still time for.” He says glaring at his watch and sees it’s close to four PM“Good, that’s the spirit, we are out of milk, can you bring some?”“Milk? Yeah okay, I also need new ink for the printer, so I do that right away. See you soon.” Yugi says and swipes the red button from the phone.
Phone call ends:
Yugi drops the phone on the passenger seat and buckles himself up, making sure there is nobody coming he drives up to the road. Another deep sigh escapes his mouth while he tries not to drift of towards the very short conversation he had today. No, he needs to keep his focus on the road. When suddenly…. “Damnit!” Yugi shouts while hitting the break full force with both feet. A cat suddenly ran over and almost got hit. Quickly and with a racing heartbeat Yugi looks in the back mirror and till his release he sees nobody behind him.Quickly he gets out the car looking if the cat is okay, if the poor animal isn’t okay he will take the responsibility to take it to the vet, the cat is nowhere to be seen, so it probably slipped away under a different car. “Oof that was close for comfort, I really don’t want to be in the hospital again, I see that way to many these days.” He sighs before getting in and after he had calmed his heart starting the car and continuing his drive to the grocery store.When returning home, he hands the milk to his grandfather and goes to his room. when entering he looks around and smiles. He sleeps in this room since he was a baby, and during his toddler, child, teen and now young adult life his room changed together with him over the years, but although it is now a room suitable for a young adult, you still somehow can see how this young man still is a child at heart.Soft blue and purples carefully painted on three parts of the wall; he did this himself when he was a teen, the only white wall vibrates with posters of duel-monsters he is a fan of since he was a young child. His furniture all in the same light wooden colour, to start, his bed with headboard, the same he picked out in his early teen years still standing in the same corner he and his mother placed it years ago so he can stargaze during the night out his overhead window and not climb out the window to do dangerous stunts to look to the stars, but as his teenaged mind had a few times of rebellion, he ignored that rule and still went up the roof to stargaze, mostly he did this when he and his mother had a fight together.The bed is neatly made just like his mother taught him to do, and the Kuribo plush he still had from his baby-years is snugly and with great care placed against the pillow. On the headboard lays the book he is currently reading, his alarm clock, his nightlight, a charger for his phone, his favourite duel monster’s duo, the black magician and magician girl guarding his stuff as he always puts it, and a toy car he got for his 16th birthday as a way to represent his real gift that was waiting for him outside.Then in the highest corner his closet which stores his clothes, and next to the closet a cabinet with draws inside containing his socks, boxers, and PJ’s. on the cabinet, two photo-frames placed with great responsibility and with a purpose inside of a little shrine with fake candles in front of it and a few incense sticks to burn when he has a difficult time and feels in need for their guidens. The first picture being of his beloved grandmother he only knew the first 7 of his years. And the second a picture of his beloved mother he lost when he was only 16 years old.Next to the drawer stands an open block cabinet with his collection of games, puzzles and books neatly ordered on his favourite way of reading, and little nick-knacks and trinkets placed in a strategy way around the boxes and books to fill the empty spaces. On top of the cabinet a few pictures of him graduating high-school, college, vacations with his elder and vacations with his friends.Ah his dear friends, to start with Tèa, his first crush, they are friends since childhood, and for Tèa it never mattered her friend was younger by a year, after him she is the youngest, when he finally had the guts to confess his feelings, she gently turned him down by telling him their friendship was more important to her, and she was afraid if they got into a relationship and for whatever reason would break up, their friendship would be gone too, he understood that and enjoyed being friends with her even more, after high-school she went for her career to become a dancer in the US, she married last year with a co-dancer and last update told him they still are enjoying their honeymoon stage very much.Then you have Honda, the oldest in the group of friends with two complete years, he didn’t take over his father’s shop because he had told his father he wanted to do something with motorcycles, his father supported him and two years ago he opened his own shop which goes very well. Even better than his father’s shop. Honda and he didn’t speak for a little while when the Yugi got a relationship with another male at high-school, Honda isn’t one to support gay relationships, but eventually Honda turned to the positive and started talking with him again, Honda is a great friend but not his best friend. Honda reconnected with one of their earlier classmates Miho, and they are now married and expecting their first kid.Then there is Joey, he only is a few months younger then Honda, Joey was his first best friend but after Yugi got into a relationship it went a little less, it was Joey who was there to teach him how to drive his car, Joey started to travel around the world after finishing High-school, playing at duel-monster’s tournaments, also making his living to be a teacher in duel-monsters, during one of those tournaments he finally managed to win Mai's heart, last month the group of friends got invited to attend to the wedding in a year.Then lastly but not least, Ryou, he is with his age in between Joey and Tèa, Ryou is Yugi’s ex-boyfriend but a greater best friend he could wish for and always can count on. Ryou is working in a company that hires people with disabilities. He is there when Yugi needs medical care, and even helps with the tube he has for the past four years now. maybe I can ask Ryou for help? He muses while stroking his cheek again.Looking to the only wall he didn’t see when he entered right away, the wall he dreads the most, his target to why he went to his room in the first place comes into his vision, his desk, the one he had when he picked out his bedroom when he entered his pre-teen years, the same light wood as his beloved childhood bed, and all his other furniture standing in his room.He walks towards his desk and plops in the chair taking his bag he brought along this morning. There are three organise boxes placed on his desk where first stood his schoolbooks. One with: possible candidate, containing five papers who might call him for a second interview (Industrial illusions and Schroder’s companies included). One with: still to look at, containing six papers of possible jobs he saw the other day, but didn’t yet contact. And one rejected: full of papers. With a sad look he takes the form from his bag and places it on the huge pile. He is looking for a job since he graduated college half a year ago, and until today still no job.Yes, Kaiba corporation wants him, but he himself refuses to work under his own rival and be forced to have a duel-monsters match broadcasted to ensure If Kaiba ever wins, he will lose his title of king of games. “Pfft, not in a million years I will work under him. That old bastard has stolen my system and call it his system, it’s a miracle he did not sue grandpa for it.” He mutters sarcastically. “Then I’d rather work for Pegasus, or Schroder if they didn’t reject me already. I need to call them tomorrow to see if they still want me.”A knock on his door makes him look up, his elder steps inside holding two mugs with one for him containing hot chocolate, and for the elder a cup of coffee. After he handed the chocolate to the young man the elder sits on the bed. “How long did it take them this time?” he asks sympathetically while sipping his coffee.“Five minutes, maybe less, I’m not sure.” Yugi responds recalling the short but harsh conversation to tell.
Flashback:
“Mister Muto, you’re up.” The woman at the desk says with an uninterested look on her face, it’s obvious he isn’t the only participant for the job, so he must make sure he does his best to impress the man who will interview him. But when he stands and walks to the office, he hears the other participant’s whisper.“That’s King of Games Yugi Muto, did you know he has……” Yugi swallows, in a way it’s nothing new, he is after four years used to the stares and whispers. He can’t recall how many times they wonder if he has anorexia or bulimia, or what strange and contagious illness has taken him that he needs a feeding tube. But it still hurts because he knows it is something they cannot explain to why he needs it, and they always judge him for things that aren’t true on that matter.He walks with his head high to the office and knocks on the door before entering. Once inside he bows until he is given the clear to look up and take a seat. “One of the few with actual manners, my name is… oh, I’m sorry, but I don’t think you fit well within our team.” He says when Yugi looks up and wants to take a seat. But as soon as the man starts to apologise, he keeps standing.Knowing full well why he is rejected again, he still asks. “But why?”“Don’t get me wrong, but if I had known you have... um... that…” the man says pointing to Yugi’s right cheek. “I would have spare you the drive, we cannot do anything with people who have special needs. You can go now.” The man says while waving his hand towards the door.“But you only judge me on this thing, I’m in a way perfectly healthy, I only need help with feeding! This thing never held me back during the years I studied and where I did labour not even fit for what I was studying for!”“Well, the reason why I have every right not to hire you is because you are disabled, and in my opinion disabled people belong in a safe house far away from civilisation, also disabled people need to be castrated and sterilised to prevent them from spreading the ailment they have and don’t infect the normal people around us…. There is the door.” The man says harshly now pointing his finger angrily.“But –” Yugi tries reaching for his papers and willing to show them.“Mister Muto, if you don’t leave my office right now, I see myself forced to call security and have guided you outside my building.” The man says already grabbing the receiver from the phone. Yugi, not willing to try his luck turns on his heel and walks out slamming the door close.
Flashback ends:
“That’s racism Yugi! He cannot not accept you based on a condition you are suffering!” grandpa shouts when his grandson has finished his story.“I know grandpa, but what can I do about it, I didn’t record the conversation, so I don’t have evident that man harassed not only me but also other disabled people this badly.” Yugi says looking towards his pants when his phone starts to vibrate. He slips it out and looks to the screen, “Sennen corporation?” he says confused because he is sure he never did send his resume there. “Maybe Ryou’s car broke again, but why not call with his cell?” Testing his luck, he swipes the call button to the right and places the phone on speaker.
Phone call:
“Hello Yugi Muto speaking, how can I help you?” he says in his most cheery voice making his grandfather cringe because he knows it’s as fake as possible.“Hello this is Mana Sennen calling from Sennen corporation, we saw your resume the other day and we must say, you have great potential, my boss is hoping you are willing to come for an interview?”Yugi has no idea where this is coming from, but when he hears they want him for an interview his normal total demand to get excited when called changes to full anger. “Well, I don’t know if you want me miss Sennen, before I make again an unnecessary trip towards your company I tell you right now, I have a disability.” His grandfather nudges him and Yugi feels sorry for being this harsh, but with this many rejections the moment he walked in and before he even got a chance to do the interview, he is a bit finished with it all.“Well, that depends on the disability you are having, can you explain me a bit about it? From there I will decide if we still want you yes, or no?” she suggests, and Yugi looks stumped towards his grandfather who simply shrugs with a smile.Nothing to lose, I guess. He thinks. “Because of reasons I do not wish to talk about, I have a feeding tube giving me nutrition throughout the day, I need to go to the hospital once every 28 days to remove and renew the tube and to see if I have made any progression towards recovery. If I have a good nurse helping me, I’m ready to go within 30 minutes, is the nurse a student then I probably will need to stay a few days since something went wrong.”“Okay, but a feeding tube is necessary to keep you alive when you are not able to feed yourself, and as long as it doesn’t bother you while working, then why not try working with it?” she asks, and Yugi takes a gulp to force his tears back. “My boss is willing to work with you, and to describe him in a simple way, he sees what you don’t see in a person, so, with or without you having a disability it doesn’t matter to him. Are you willing to come tomorrow morning 9 am?” She says with cheer in her voice.Quickly calculating his feeding schedule, Yugi realises he needs to connect a new bottle by then, maybe he can force time a bit later in the morning. “I’d love to come, but around then I need to install a new feeding bottle. Is it possible for maybe an hour later since it takes me some time to do so?” he asks.“Oh, don’t worry about that, my boss is very curious about how people like you need to replace a much needed thing for their comfort, and even willing to help when they ask him, please take your things along and let him look?” she says with an obvious smile in her voice. “But if you don’t like it when you need a new bottle, he also will give you the privacy you need. I promise.”“Very well.” Yugi says now with a real cheer in his voice.“Great, I will send you the directions and what you need for the interview to your email. And everything will be fine. See you tomorrow morning.” Miss Sennen says with enthusiast in her voice and before Yugi can say his goodbye, he already hears the line is dead.
Phone call ends:
“Was it really necessary to be that hash?” the elder scold his grandson.“Look at that pile grandpa, I wasted enough ink, paper and gas for trips that only disappointed me, I’m happy you help me with the gas otherwise I needed to get out of bed on insane hours to get there on time while walking and lugging this bag with me.” The young adult said while pointing to the rejected pile of papers. “But they still want to see me, and I have a feeling this is a winner… I only wonder how they got my resume? You think Ryou has a hand in this?” Yugi muses.“I have heard about this company, the old Sennen took this company over when his boss retired about 20 years ago and called it Sennen corporation, his only son took over the company three years ago with guidance from his father until the old man passed away a year ago. The son made in a year time so many improvements that he managed to kick industrial illusions to the third place and claim the second best place in the gaming industry as his.” Grandpa says with a sneaky glint in his eyes. Luckily his grandson did not see that.“I wonder how he is, miss Sennen seemed very open minded about him.” Yugi says and then realises. “Shit! Forget the ink, and I need a copy of my ID, please tell me you have ink?” While face palming himself since the stores closed a minute ago……“Sorry, I figured I needed to ask you for it also.” The elder says.

Chapter 3: The Culprit.
~Sir, Ryou wishes to speak with you, he seems concerned about something. ~ Mana speaks trough the intercom of her boss. He bends over and presses the button to respond.~Send him in, and be a sweetheart and bring us the black gold, will you? ~ the boss responds back with a cheer in his voice.~Sure, black with lots of cream and sugar. Got it~ the girl responds sarcastically back.~Mana! Your period is not an excuse to scold me! this is exactly the reason as to why I don’t do woman!~ He tries but receiving no innocent response, he knows the girl already walked out, but he also knows Mana is only teasing him, again. With a sigh and a shake of his head, he looks towards the door and sees it opening, he smiles at the white-haired young man, who bows politely and walks over to the chair.“I think you need to update the system; this one is to easy sir.” he says with a laugh. Clutching a small stack of papers in his hands while taking a seat.“If I knew how, I already had updated the system long time ago, the one my father bought the system from, somehow can’t fix a update to do so. And with everybody knowing how easy the password is…” he stops his rant there, he knows it’s no use, he’s already looking into a new system. “Now how can I help you?”“To starters, maybe because you purchased the system by a fraud, I know the real developer personally.... And no, not me sir, a friend of mine, he told me how his idea got taken and the company who did took the credit for it.” Ryou says a bit harshly. “And that same friend of mine, is looking for a job since we graduated college six months ago, he is trying his hardest to get one but the only thing he gets is rejection after rejection. It depresses him greatly and I hate it to see him sulk every time.” The 21 -year-old says. “He and I went to the same high-school and college, we shared classes together, his grades are better than mine and he truly wants to work and be independent. He is the one inviting the system when someone broke in into the game-store they live in. Sadly, the first plans for the system were taken and the other took credit for it.”The boss listens closely, it seems even his uncle isn’t as honoured about things as he claimed to be, no wonder he cannot update the system somehow, that however is for later concern, first he needs to see if he can fix Ryou’s trouble around his obvious dear friend. “But what is the reason they reject him?” The boss asks and Ryou presses the papers closer to his chest. But then he takes the decision and hands them over. His boss looks and is shocked when he sees the name on the resume. “But that’s the king of games, I haven’t heard from him since ages! Last time was four years ago if I remember correctly, he was in a tournament when an ailment hit him. I always wondered what happened with him?”“When that ailment hit him, he got a feeding tube, that is the first and most of the times the main reason why he gets rejected, the second is because nobody but Seto Kaiba has challenged him and he didn’t manage to steel his title yet, the second reason why they reject him, well he is the King Of Games, they don’t want to call security every time he gets mobbed by fans because he still is the King of Games.”“But he also needs to be able to pay his bills.” The boss responds angered. “How long is he out of competition?”“He got this four years ago, shortly after we graduated High-school, and only three months after the car accident he and his mother were involved in, he fell sick and got this thing.” He says not willing to give much information but realising the boss is a man who always looks to what the eye can’t see.“But if he has this for four years, why not a tube in his stomach so he can compete again, if he wishes not to be seen with it?”“He told me he hoped one day to eat solid food again without having a scar to add on his stomach.” Ryou says and sees his boss thumb through the papers.“How did you get these if I may ask?”“His grandfather has a hand in this, Yugi was on a job interview a few days ago and had forgotten he and I would meet up together, his grandfather took that opportunity to hand me these papers and asked me if I could help him.” The white-haired male says in all honesty.“Thank you, Ryou, I will consider it. Anything else?”“Yes, actually there is, Rebecca, she hacked the computers again.”The boss sighs deeply when hearing this “What is lost this time?”“The clock hours from the workers and their files are messed up again. I’m glad I have an extern drive to keep the original files safe and at the end of the day I transfer everything over, but it’s allot of work to fix her mess every time sir.”“Thank you, I will take care of it.” he says while Mana walks in with three drinks from the coffee corner across the street. “Thank you, Mana, can you please stay for a moment? The three of us need to discuss a possible new candidate who can do head digital security.” The boss says.“Please tell me that Rebecca gets’ sacked! She hacked my computer again, I’m glad I bought myself and each team leader a hard drive so nothing is lost and they are so smart to upload everything on that thing at the end of the day, but it’s a lot of work to place the files back and fix every time new passwords to prevent her from hacking again.” Mana shouts, “Poor Heba hates it when I return home and am in a bad mood because of her!”That explains her current mood. “Yeah, I noticed he was off when he comes back from you.” The boss says. “I take action in a bit around her, Mana, take a look at this for me will ya?” he says handing the papers Ryou gave him about Yugi.“Atem, what a cutie, I bet he has what you love.” She coos “I hope he is into men, then I can….” Mana says walking away with the papers probably already deciding she is going to call him.Ryou blushes fiercely, he knows his boss is a gay man forced into marrying Mana and sire their son Heba, and although those two love the little two-year-old till death, Mana did not get pregnant in an act of love.He also knows that when the old Mister Sennen died, both Mana and Atem practically ran towards the court to file for divorce. Because the two are childhood friends they wanted to keep it that way, so one week the little boy is with his mother, and the second week is he with his father. It happens often enough the little boy is running around in the office in between the workers entertaining them. And with the bicker Mana and his boss often has he still can see their childhood bond is as strong as ever.“Spill it, Ryou.” His boss smirks making him blush even more.“He … um… He is in fact Bi tending to males, he and I dated in High-school briefly, but because of reasons he needs to speak about himself, we broke up and remained friends.” Ryou says with a blush. “I still like him, because he is the sweetest guy a man can wish for, but we hate to see our friendship break over this if we try a relationship again.”“I see…. Well, I think Mana is covering for him now, drink your tea before you resume work. And when you do, send Rebecca up.” Atem says and together they make some more small talk about Yugi and how the two got friends, before Ryou resumes work sending Rebecca towards the boss.The girl didn’t knock, she simply enters the office with a smug look on her face like she owns the company instead of the man sitting behind the desk. She does not show the same respect like Ryou does but walks directly to the other side of the table and plops herself in her boss’s lap, grinding against him hoping he would fall for her trap. Sadly, for her, her boss is a true gay man, he needed to use pills to have sex with Mana only to shut his father up. Already angered by Rebecca constantly hacking into laptops and changing things that are important for his team managers, he harshly pushes her of off his lap.“Rebecca I’m sure you know this is not a fun trip for why you needed to come!” he says harshly, making sure not to let out the laugh with the display in front of him on the floor ass up high her undies showing makes him wanting to gag but instead he uses that to show his anger. “I hired you to do your job as head digital security, but instead you are bringing my company down with your stunts, also you bring MY workers in danger by messing with their files. Only today I have my phone blowing up with complains after complains about you hacking laptops and stealing files! And I didn’t speak about the other complains I got about you and you alone every single day. This is your last day in this building, you are fired!”“What? But, but, but. –” she stutters while scrambling from the floor but her now ex-boss shuts her up.“Also, I have camera’s hanging in every corner in this office, you are recorded, and you can be sure I will go to the police and file for sexual harassment!” the man states pointing to the cameras.“You can’t fire me! and that proves nothing I can easily tell them you tried to rape me because I have disarmed the camera’s”That pales Atem up for a brief second but he knows he must not show it. “As your boss, I can, and newsflash, I just did. You have one hour to collect your things and leave, I will ask security to keep a close eye on you that you don’t take along important files!” the boss says while pressing a red button under his desk.The girl looks beyond angry and makes a big mistake. “To bad for you Kaiba will get me out of trouble!” she shouts when two security men that are known as the Paradox brothers walk inside.“Take this woman with you and call the police, I will file complaints for sexual harassment, stealing property from my company and possibly handing them to Kaiba corporation. Also, when I figure out, he indeed did send a snitch to do so I will sue them also!” The boss shouts and the two security men grab Rebecca and drag her out towards their office.The boss takes a deep sigh and then presses the button of his intercom. ~Mana, coffee and then I need you in here. Now! ~Mana knowing this tone isn’t one to mess with does not wasting time goes straight to the coffee corner, and then wasted no time into the office and walks towards the desk. “What happened I saw Mei and Kyu drag Rebecca out before you demanded coffee.” She says handing the boss the demanded coffee.He takes a sip first, and after a deep breath. “She, said she is a snitch for Kaiba, when the police arrive, I need to be ready for them, I need the tape from the moment she entered the office today, make sure if she truly did disarmed the camera’s, and can you fetch Heba from mom today? I’m afraid I need to pull an all-nighter to fix this mess.” He says with a deep sigh.“Why do you need that tape for? And don’t worry I saw what she did.” she asks.“exactly that, she jumped in my lap and started grinding. Sexual harassment will be added to her case.” The boss says with a violent shiver.“I’m on it, oh and Yugi Muto will come tomorrow 9 am. He gave me the intention something happened today, and it wasn’t positive.” She says and they talk a bit about that. “Are you sure you can trust him with Rebecca’s work?” she muses when they are discussing the function he will be given, before the police enters the office and Mana walks out to get the requested tape, along with all the complaints they had filed over the woman.After hours calling with Kaiba, and talking with the police, It’s around 12 when Atem finally returns home, exhausted and his head full with things he cannot simply let go for the moment, he needs a distraction. “That bad?” a familiar voice asked behind him making him spin around and looking into the smiling face that belongs to his mother. “Have you eaten?” she asks but his stomach answers already for him. “Come on, Anzu saved you something.” She says guiding her son towards the kitchen where she starts to warm his food.“I fired one of the workers today, she was a thief, stealing documents and blaming Kaiba for it.”“You called Seto about it?”“Yeah, although we are rivals, he told me he never met the girl before. Later she confessed she wanted to take the company from me and make it hers. With what she took, she probably will need to pay the company a high sum with cash, and sit at least 5 years 5 more if she is not able to pay, I also filed a complaint for sexual harassment and have the proof for it, this will probably give her another 5 years, and when she is set free, I will file for a restraining order around the company, also I send a mass Email to the workers homes and explained them the situation, hoping they also will set a restraining order on her…. how was Heba when I didn’t bring him to Mana?”“Sad you weren’t around, but Mana and I told him there was something going on and you needed to work longer today, he went with Mana with a heavy heart, maybe you should call him tomorrow. Anything else happened?”“Uncle Kaiba stole all those years ago the system dad bought from him, and do you remember when Seto told us the King of games refused his job offer?” he asks and sees his mother nodding. “Well, apparently the King of games is the real developer of the security system, and he has a job interview with me tomorrow.” the man grins like crazy. “And when he takes the job, he probably gets Rebecca’s department.”“Rebecca’s! but she was a genius! You told me yourself.”“He also is a genius, Ryou showed me his high-school and college score, his is higher than hers.” He says before placing his plate in the sink, kissing his mother on her cheek, and retreating to his room for an hour of games to clear his head.Only to realise after hours gaming, he needs to be at work in 30 minutes. “Shit I’m late!” he yells while running for a speed shower and hastily dressing himself before running outside the house and take off to work. hoping he will make it in 15 minutes.Luckily his mother already called Mana to tell he will be late like always when he has a night like this.

With a deep sigh Yugi parks his car in the parking lot, he carefully takes his feeding supplies and papers before walking inside the building, at the front desk there sits a man, but doesn’t seem to notice him, he walks over and clears his throat. The man turns his head towards Yugi and the latter steps back a bit frightened when he sees the male’s eyeballs are blue but they look empty, dull, and just not normal. “Hello, can I help you?” the man asks and turns his head a bit, so his ear is clear towards Yugi.“Um… I…” he says hesitant.“Oh, I’m sorry, I always forgot to wear my sunglasses, it’s okay. I may not be able to see you, but I can hear you perfectly.” The male says with a cheeky smile placing sunglasses on his nose in order to cover his scary empty blue eyes making sure the sticks do not come in conflict with his American flag bandana.“Um…. I’m Yugi Muto, I have an appointment at 9.... with um…. Miss.”“Ah, Yes, I know, Mana already informed me you would come today, you take the first few stair steps and the elevator to the most left you need to have, you need to press the top floor bottom, good luck cutie.” He says without any shame when he purrs out cutie.Doing as the male said he walks towards the elevator feeling the empty blue eyes in his back as if the man still can see even though he is blind. He waits till the elevator arrives and goes inside. “Hold the elevator!” a man shouts and Yugi stops the door from closing with a hand, when a caramel-bronze skinned male runs inside, he places his hands on his knees and tries to regain his breath. “Thanks, it takes forever by the time it is down again. Can you press top floor please?” the man asks.Yugi dumbly nods and presses a few different buttons making the man laugh. “Now you’ve done it.” he says with a smile when suddenly the elevator stops. “You accidently pressed the emergency stop button, but don’t worry, you’re not the first this happens with.” The male says and walks towards the intercom and presses the talk button. “Keith, why did you scare the young man this morning? You know you need those glasses to prevent these things to happen.”“You sure it wasn’t you’re doing hot shot?” they sure don’t feel afraid to let someone know they look good, able to see or not, it clearly doesn’t matter. Yugi thinks when he sees the other man talk with the one at the other side of the line.“Nope I’m pretty sure it was you; can you hurry I have an appointment and I’m already late as it is.” “Stuck again? Nah man now I’m sure it’s your doing.” the man Yugi recognises now as the one at the front desk. “I’ll have you up in five.”“And now we wait.” the man says while Yugi is secretly observing him.Oh man, this guy simply screams sex appeal. The man has a smooth dark caramel-bronze skin, maybe Arabic? Or Turkish? But which country he knows has people with eyes as red as blood? He knows people with albinism can have red eyes, but this man’s skin reveals none of that symptom. Or is this man secretly a vampire? No, vampires have a pale skin, and they are a myth right? Or are they like the twilight series? Still their own skin colour but glister in the sunlight? But the man he is standing with in the elevator, he looks like a pharaoh, a real sex god. Not a dangerous person willing to kill him. His hair, much wilder than his own, and where Yugi has that cute little bang in between his eyes, this man has three bangs sticking op. The trim is red instead of purple but the same black centre he has this man also has it.Then the face, a strong jaw, not very well shaven, but seeing the man was in a rush, and no baby-fat on his face like he himself still has some baby cheeks. The eyes, as red as crimson were his are a soft purple, and where he has big round eyes, this man ‘s crimson red eyes are more rectangular, and from what he can see, they demand respect, but are also playfully and filled with joy and most of all… mischief? And then the body, from what he can see, this man clearly hits the gym or his clothes must give the idea off a ripped body with how muscular he looks.“Cute.” He hears the man whisper bringing him out of his musings. “You like what you see Little One? I never seen you before.” he then asks making Yugi feel himself heat up from head till toe.“um, I’m having a job interview.” Yugi manages to speak out softy but still loud enough for this man to hear.The elevator starts going up again and Yugi is cursing himself for acting like a shy high-school teen all over again. The man sees Yugi fretting and dares to place his hand against his right cheek, the cheek with his tube, unconsciously Yugi leans into the cub of the man’s hand enjoying the warm and surprisingly soft feeling. “Relax Cutie, you’ll do just fine.” The man says softly. And he feels Yugi relaxing a bit.Gathering his courage Yugi then takes a deep sigh. “If you think I’ll do ‘just fine’ then how do I make it look like I do amazing?” he asks boldly pointing his fingers with the just fine.The man chuckles and then starts to loosen the purple tie Yugi picked out this morning to wear. “Let’s start by taking this thing off, the one doing interviews hates those choking and constricting things.” He says and turns Yugi around when he had taken it off, he opens the backpack and carefully without disrupting the tube and machine Yugi is carrying, he places the tie inside it. Then he zips the bag close and turns Yugi back around and looks sceptical. He looks like he wants too badly. The man thinks. Together with his purple tie he has a matching suit, a white blouse and white polished shoes.“I hope you don’t plan on working in this every day because this company stands out for its casually and wearing what you feel comfy in.... let’s open these buttons here.” He says and opens the top two buttons of Yugi’s white button up shirt. Then he makes the stiff board fluff up like he used to do it when he himself was in his college years. Then the man turns Yugi towards the mirror. “There much better. And probably the most important tip I can give you, is.... relax, he is a pretty laid back kinda guy.” He says with a gentle smile.“Thank you,” Yugi says politely and makes a bow. The door from the elevator pings and with a last “Bye Cutie.” The man runs off to an unknown location.Yugi looks to his watch. 10 minutes left, I hope this thing doesn’t go to beep early I really don’t wish to do it out here in the open. He thinks still not sure if it was right to agree with this during a job-interview. He walks towards the desk where he sees a woman sitting. I'm so out of place here, they all look like they spend lots of times under the sun, even that guy at the front desk looks like he spends most of his days outside. He thinks when he sees the woman also has a caramel-coloured skin. The woman clearly increased into her work doesn’t seem to notice him, so he clears his throat, and she looks up with a delighted look. “Ah you must be Yugi.” She says and he nods. “He is a bit late but will call you in any second now, meanwhile do you have a copy of your ID?” she asks.He takes out his wallet and pulls his ID card out. “Sorry, the ink was out, and I forgot to buy new, by the time I discovered it the other day, the store was closed.” He whispers handing her the card while remembering one time he had the same problem, and he got a serious scolding for being unprepared.“Oh, that’s not a problem at all, I can make a copy here.” She says like it’s the most normal thing in the world. She turns to the printer places his ID on the plate and makes a copy. Then she looks at it closely. “You need to replace this soon; in a month it will expire.” She says handing him the card back. Yugi takes it back. Fantastic, that means I need to take a picture with this ugly thing on my face and show that for the next ten years, and 60 bugs I need to save up for it. A deep sigh escapes his mouth.“Hey now, it doesn’t look that bad, I have seen many people who looks worse with that, and those few running around here don’t have placed the band-aid as neatly as you have, you look rather cute.” She says with a cheerful voice.“Well maybe I’m done being cute.” He says sarcastically thinking about how his friends mock him every time with his appearance, he is a year by two years younger than all of them, and what Joey and Honda already have lost their boyish look, he still looks a bit like a child in his late teen years. And yes his cheeks over the years grew a bit more mature, but he still has that baby-face showing on his cheeks, and only since last week he can finally say he shaved for the first time.Then his eyes and body, they matured a bit by the time he finished high school, but he still has that boyish look in them. And he still is small, has little to no body hair, and there where he has it, it is very thin and light.Even if he is 20, and he was the first in the group with a boyfriend, however Yugi still didn’t have his first wet dream yet and is a virgin on almost every point in the book, Joey and Honda say it probably is because he jerks himself since he was young. Yugi leaves them to believe that, but in all honesty, he never felt the need to, although Joey gave him many years ago those VCR tapes, and porn magazines, he never felt secure enough to watch or read them, so he simply pretended towards Joey, he had enjoyed them very much. And with him having this feeding tube, his college mates did not feel to date him because they felt pity for him not be able to eat solid foods, and were afraid of hurting him.“Yugi?” the voice from miss Sennen brings him out his musings. “Ah, there you are, I lost you for a moment.” She smiles and hands him back his ID. “He probably will ask for a drink when he calls you in, um, I know from some of the workers with a feeding tube they get only get fed, but some also are getting hydrated, which one does count for you?”Yugi smiles, he is glad she doesn’t look mad that he spaced out for a moment. “No, it only feeds me, I need to hydrate myself.” He says sweetly towards her.“Then what do you fancy?” she asks~Maaaaa-naaaaaaa!!!~ a very whiny voice comes outside the intercom making Yugi laugh a bit, that didn’t sound professional and like a boss at all.Mana looks with pleased eyes and with a nod from her, he can’t keep it in, and he laughs out loud and right now she presses the intercom ~Listen to what you have done, how can he make a good impression towards you if you whine like the baby-boss you are right now? ~ she scolds the man on the other side making Yugi only laugh harder.~Oh! he's here? Send him in, and I wish for a half pint please? ~ The man says excited.~Asshole, if you played games less you would not oversleep. Did you even sleep last night? ~ she scolds taking a credit card from out a draw with the Sennen logo on it.~How else can I defeat the king of games one day? ~ The man whines but miss Sennen ignores him.“Probably stayed up all night, otherwise he would not ask for the big tub. So, before baby-boss bugged in, what do you fancy?” she asks the still laughing but also surprised male.“Cappuccino please one sugar.” He says with a sweet smile towards her and when he has regained his breath.“Cute and sweet, the perfect combination, but to make it nicer, how about instead of sugar, caramel? It gives it just that little bit more” she asks and Yugi not one to ignore and eager to try new things nods in approval. “Go on, you need the red door, simply knock the door, crack the code and enter.” She says before walking out.Yugi wipes the joyful tears away and walks to the door appointed to him, he looks to the system and snorts. “That looks like my old and first system, too easy.” As instructed, he knocks the door and then enters the code. The door opens. “If this is the code he uses every time, I wonder why he isn’t robbed yet, or even keeps his privacy.” He muses accidently out loud.“If you have a better way to secure my office, be my guest, I’m bugging my cousin for years now to update the system, and before him my father bugged his brother and when he took over, my cousin but they can’t help me out.” A familiar voice behind him says making Yugi jump and turn around to quick making him sway. “Whoa, easy there, I didn’t mean to frighten you.” He says while grabbing Yugi’s arm to hold him steady.Yugi coming back from his dizziness looked towards the boss. “You hate ties because they choke and constrict you, yet you wear a choker which are more a way to crush your Adams apple?” he asks boldly and slaps his hand in front of his mouth.The man only laughs. “Now that’s the spicy spirit I was looking for in the elevator, cute from the outside with a pinch of boldness, But spicy on the inside.”“Miss Sennen told me I was cute and sweet.” Yugi says boldly with a blush.“Please Yugi, cut the formalities, call her Mana, we all do... an if she calls you cute and sweet then she probably is right, she has a great way to judge people, but you also got some hidden spunk something she clearly missed, and I enjoy that. Now take a seat, I assume Mana asked you also for a drink if you can?”“Yeah, she did.” Yugi says walking to the appointed chair but before sitting he hears the beeper going off. “Damn, um, I need to change the bottle.”“Sure, go ahead, do you wish some privacy? There’s a bathroom you can use.” he asks pointing to a door to give Yugi some privacy if wanted.“No, that’s not necessary, mi.. Mana told me you enjoy watching these kind of things? um, do you have a napkin?” He asks hoping that this man is as easy-going as Mana is.The man doesn’t scold him, he simply hands him a napkin and watches how Yugi quickly but carefully changes the bottles with nutrition’s and adds the meds he needs to take with them. “How many times do you need a new bottle a day?”“This thing feeds me three times a day, this one.” He says pointing to the empty bottle he placed already in a plastic bag ready to be thrown away. “Is the first and fast feeding, it takes two hours for this one to be empty, this one doesn’t contain my meds, while the second and third bottle are slow feeders up until 8 hours, they feed me until I go to bed around 11pm these two are also the once I take with the meds I need to take.” He says pressing some buttons to slow the feeding till 4pm. “They give me more the feeling of being full then when I have three feedings from an hour till two hours and feel drugged because the meds make me feel that way.” He explains and looks up seeing how intrigued the man is.“I’m curious though.” Yugi says in a musing kind of a way while closing his backpack and placing it next to him.“Then please, share your curiosity with me, maybe I can help you solve it?” the man says with a gentle smile.“Well, first off, you seem to know my name, but I don’t know yours other than ‘Hot shot’ according to Keith from the front desk, and as mi… mana called you, ‘baby-boss’, and ‘asshole’ when she was scolding you.” Yugi starts.Atem laughs loudly from that statement making Yugi blush, when Atem regained his breath, he says with a huge smile on his face. “Come on, who doesn’t know the king of games? But your right, I didn’t introduce myself... very well, you may call me Atem and any insulting name you can think of, but the last one only with my permission to use it in the open. And what else are you curious about?”“Um, not to be rude or something, but I cannot remember sending an resume towards here?” The boy states softly.“That’s correct, we did get your resume via a friend and family member of yours who were worried about you.... namely Ryou.”“I knew it had to be him; I need to thank him later.” Yugi smiles.“Correct, but he also told me your grandfather had a hand in this, they both hated the fact you only got rejection after rejection, so they both decided to help you out a bit.” Atem says carefully. “Should they not have? Mana told me yesterday, she had the impression you were a bit ready with rejections, and finally wanted acceptation.”“No, I’m glad they did, I actually wanted to ask Ryou if he could help me because I was rejected again yesterday before mi…um… Mana called me. and yesterday’s rejection was one of the worse once I had.”“Please do share?”“After seeing my feeding tube getting to hear I belong in a nuthouse castrated and all and with the thread of getting kicked out by security all within the span of five minutes if not sooner. I feel like suing that company for their harsh behaviour but can’t prove a thing with how he treated me, it’s his word against mine.” Yugi says sadly.“Those are the worse companies; they do not wish to see what the capacities are that people truly have.” Atem says. “I see things other people don’t see. and I want to have you in my team, I also know in what department I want to have you.”“But I have no real disability, I only have this stupid thing!” Yugi spats.“I know Yugi, and because you have a thing that keeps you alive, I don’t care about that. Yugi, what I care about is how the person is in character. And not how a person looks, as you already have noticed with Keith, he is blind, since birth but he manages that computer and the elevator like anybody else in this building, the things he does with a screwdriver, hammer and other tools make a professional hide in shame. I have people running around here who need a diaper, and one of them I sometimes need to help when she needs a change because she used the big guns and can’t reach correctly, some have miss-formed body-parts. And I don’t give a shit about it as long as they can and are willing to work while enjoying themselves, I’m pleased and satisfied, that my company is on second place, I only see that as a blessing.”“But I want to be normal.” Yugi says softly a tear falling down his cheek.Atem stands and walks around the table Pressing himself with his back against the table. He cubs Yugi’s face and wipes the tear from Yugi’s cheek and forcing him to look up. “Yugi, if I have learned one thing in life, then it is that no matter how you look at it, nobody is normal, and nobody is perfect. I’d rather have a crazy world like the one we live in now, then that I live in a world with only normal and perfect people, and do you know why?” he asks and waits until Yugi gives some form of response.A simple shake from the head is what he gets and Atem smiles. “Because when everybody is perfect and normal, I believe it would be a fucking boring world, the way the world is now is perfect because there is always something happening, be it exiting, be it sad, be it horrific, see life as an adventure and make a game out of it.” He says and lays his arms around Yugi and pulls him in a firm but also gentle hug.Yugi unconsciously presses himself against Atem wanting a cuddle and allows his tears to fall on the elder man’s shirt while also fisting it. Why do I feel so comfortable doing this? Yugi thinks while Atem simply allows the young man to cry and regain his composure. “But you look so perfect.” Yugi whispers silently but loud enough for Atem to hear.Gently pressing Yugi back a bit he looks at him. “But I’m not perfect Little One, my father and I loved each other since we both have a passion for games, but he also in a way hated me, and here’s the reason. You see, Mana is my ex-wife, we both have a wonderful two-year-old son, but…. Our marriage was forced by him, Mana and I are cousins in the third degree, but we are also childhood friends, and because we always played together even after we moved from Egypt to here, the two of us were two hands on one belly and our family saw us end up together in the long run, to most of my family I eventually told I’m gay but my father was obvious to that little fact, and I tried my best to keep it that way, one day however I was barely 16 and came home with a man five years my senior, my father walked in on us, my then partner almost was ready to penetrate me. He kicked the man away from me and out of the house, and I was sent to a church community to be cured from my so-called sick gay thoughts.“When I returned two years later, I pretended I was cured, and my father already had the marriage with Mana’s parents arranged. Mana is bisexual, and she didn’t want our friendship blown away because we could not act like husband and wife, and I respect that. She and I came up with a plan, when father and guests are around, we pretended we were the perfect husband and wife and were in love with each other till no end, but when our guests were gone, she called her girlfriend or boyfriend whatever she was dating at the time, and I stayed alone focusing on taking over this company. My father decided after being married for a few years it was time for an heir, so Mana and I decided we would try to for fill his wish.“I was ashamed over the fact I needed to use pills to get him up those few times we tried for a heir, and I didn’t enjoy it at all. But the last time we had sex with each other she got pregnant. In that year I took over the company with my father’s guides so I could be trained more to take over the company when he would retire.“Two years ago, Heba was born, and my father was in heaven. He almost forced us to make another child if it wasn’t that we had decided to tell him Mana had complications during pregnancy and delivery, and to keep her healthy, Heba would be our only child. My father died a year ago and we filed for divorce shortly after his burial, that was also the time I took over the company completely. I moved back to my mother, and Mana stayed in the house I bought for us. Heba is one week with me, and the other week with her.” Atem ends his story “and depending on his mood you probably will see the little Rascal running around here often, and the workers love him all.”“But what about your mom, and her parents?”“My father had his heart on the right place but didn’t always find his way to that place. He basically forced her parents to let her marry me, and my mother knew I never was ‘cured’ when I came home. It was her who said to let Mana keep the house but under the condition she would not invite woman or men over when Heba was with her until she was certain the person would stay in her life and the same rule counts for me.”“And Heba?”“He wonders when papa finds a daddy for himself.” Atem says bluntly. “But I’m still looking.”“Have you ever tried to find that one male?”“No, he was more the kind of guy who was after my money, in a way I’m glad father kicked that man out. I had a few flings in the past, but they never lasted long. As soon as I mentioned Heba they ran away.” Atem says.“So basically, you are like me a freak of nature.” Yugi smirks with his teared stained face.“Depends in what way.” Atem says with humour in his eyes, happy Yugi makes such comments about him.“I don’t know if Ryou mentioned it, but before I saw him the first time I was a proclaimed straight man, I never looked to the male body like I looked at the female body, but when I saw Ryou walk in our classroom I was no longer interested in girls the way I was before, Ryou managed to almost let me come on the spot into my pants, he and I became friends and soon boyfriends, we dated shortly but then… stuff happened and we broke things off but stayed friends... sorry it’s hard to talk about what happened.”“It’s okay Cutie, if you are ready than you can come to me and talk, but only if you wish to do so. Now where is Mana with my black gold?” Atem says and looks longingly to the door when it suddenly opens. Mana walks inside in one hand a plate with two medium sizes cubs and one big sized cub in the middle, and in the other hand a bag with something inside making Yugi’s mouth water with delight when he smells the sweetness waffle through it. Man, I wished I could eat again. “Man, it’s like the coffee corner had happy hour or something like that, but I have the go…… tell me you hired him and those are happy tears, or I swear I’m going to kill you!” she says when she sees Yugi’s red puffy eyes and dried tearstains on his cheeks.“He was a bit emotional Mana, you were right… but now to business, Yugi do you think you can make my lock so the workers can’t crack it, and it changes till my wish?”“That’s easy, the old Kaiba has stolen that idea from me, I created that system in the game-shop from my grandfather, the old Kaiba saw it and I was young and naïve back then, I stupidly gave it to him when he asked me to read the papers, he promised me a nice sum, but I never got something in return, something I still wish to get him back for.” Yugi replies.“If you still have the very first documents, we can use my lawyers and make sure you get the system back for a nice price, too bad, the old Kaiba is gone, his son took over five years ago, but with his ego we can crack him for his father’s mistake.” Atem says“How fast can you fix the system?” Mana asks.“Depends, I need to know what kind of a people I need to keep a mind with, based on that I can fix a way to chance the codes at your content… mmm maybe three weeks tops?” Yugi muses. “But before that, maybe it’s wise if you visit Kame-game first so I can show you how the improved version works?”“The only people allowed entering my office are the team leaders, Mana and I, sadly since the code is easy to crack, the workers make a use out of it to walk inside till their contents, and although I tell them to stop doing that, they ignore it and it gets annoying. I wish to have a camera above the coding system and I wish to be able to see and allow them inside with the code.”“Then I like to meet the team leaders and see how they are to see how difficult I can create a code.”“Then I make you a deal, I will hire you as our head digital security. You can work on your games when you have the time for it, and if something is with the system you will be the only one able to fix it, maybe soon even have a small team working under your guides. You also will be well paid.” Atem says and writes a number on a paper sliding it over towards Yugi. “This will be your monthly salary then. I can give you your first pay today already.”Yugi looks to the paper and needs to grab himself or he will fall out the chair he is sitting in. “This is monthly?! That’s what I expected on a yearly base, not monthly. With one pay of this I probably can buy the game-shop and house from grandpa’s landlord!” Yugi chokes out. “That’s too much Atem.”“Yugi, in our culture we are grateful with what we get, if it is little or much, we never say it’s too much or close to nothing.” Mana says while hugging him from behind softly in his ear. “He already took an obvious liking towards you, take it, buy the game-shop and house for your grandfather and when he dies you can have it as being his heir.”“Thank you.” Yugi sniffs. “But may I do one request then?” he asks and Atem nods. “I take the job now, but no forwards pay, you pay me on the same day you pay each and every worker.”“Goody, I go fix the papers!” Mana squeals and runs outside the office.Two hours after Yugi walked inside the office he walked out with a lighter heart. He slips his phone out his pocked and dials the familiar number.
Phone call:
“Kame game, how can I help you?”“You can help me by calling me the new head of digital security and game designer of Sennen corporation grandpa.” The youth say with the biggest smile on his face he did not have in a while.

Chapter 5: Troubles and Solutions.
With his influence Atem managed a lawsuit followed only a week after Rebecca was arrested, she had stolen client information, and messed with the files from the workers, since Sennen corporation is a safe working environment for people with a disability she needs to pay the company a high sum of money, and burn her ass in jail for a few years, in addition for sexual harassment she also needs to sit for that, and by the time she comes out, a restraining order will be placed on her to ensure she will never enter the company again.A few days after Yugi had his job interview, Yugi and his grandfather had invited both Atem and Mana over for dinner, Yugi showed them the security system and how it worked, they both were delighted to see it working and Atem added another zero after the numbers he already had offered Yugi. He gave Yugi the freedom to buy new products and gave him a credit-card from the company with unlimited access to buy whatever he needed to buy to make the system.From the first day and during the week that followed while he came to work, Yugi had to meet up with the team-leaders in the company and talked with them. Mostly about games so he could figure out the difficulty the codes needed to have. Then with a few adaptions at his own system he managed to create a completely new one. It took him another week to install the system in a way even the toughest mind worker could not easily crack the codes. Atem was very pleased with the result… so pleased he kissed Yugi on the mouth making the young man blush.And talking about blushing, Yugi is blooming in more ways than one, when he came home that day his grandfather had called his friends for a party since their youngest friend finally had a job, and what for a job, one with high responsibility.His friends stayed the night and camped out on his bedroom floor. That night he suddenly had woken up, he realised something had happened and didn’t understand, so he did the only thing he always did in situations like this… he woke Ryou. “Ryou something strange happened.” Yugi whispers softly feeling ashamed till no end.“What happened then Yugi.” The older man whispers back with a sleep laden hoarse voice.“I think I peed the bed. But it feels so strange. That didn’t happen in a long time and I’m sure urine doesn’t feel this sticky… ieuw” Yugi whispers and hears Ryou take a sharp breath and the smell coming from between Yugi’s legs told him in an instant what Yugi was concerned about.“I know what happened Yugi, it’s nothing concerning, come on, let’s clean the bed and go downstairs, there we can talk a bit without waking those two.” Ryou whispers pointing to Joey and Honda. They clean the bed and while Ryou goes to prepare tea, Yugi cleans himself.Downstairs in the kitchen, Ryou and Yugi sat themself down at the kitchen table. “But I don’t understand Ryou, last time I peed the bed was shortly after that one surgery.” Yugi says softly.“Yugi, calm down, you did not, and I repeat, you did not pee the bed, you simply had a wet dream.”“But… I never had one before, so why now?”“Because back then you had to many things at your mind to think about it Yugi. And you need to face the facts, you are a late bloomer, always was always will be. Although the two of us were the first once in a relationship, you are still without a doubt the only virgin in our group. And that is nothing to be ashamed of, these things happen.” Ryou soothes the younger.“But why now? and how?” Yugi asks.“Have you seen a person you wish to share your life with yesterday?”“Y…yes.”“And did that sexy person appear in your dream?”“……” Yugi says nothing but the fierce blush on his face tells Ryou enough.“It happens when you are in your REM sleep because you dream the most lively then, I believe you and your sexy god had fun together in your dream and your little Yugi responded to that.” Ryou explains softly but with a cocky smirk on his face.“When did you had your first wet dream?”“Shortly after we started dating, I was like you also a late bloomer.”“Yeah, but Ryou I am 20, you are older by a year and a half.”“Yugi, do you touch yourself?”“What?”“When you feel little Yugi act up, do you take care of it by masturbating?”“n…no…. I don’t feel right about it, I take a cold shower, and when that isn’t available, I wait till it goes by.” Yugi says.“Then believe me, your wet dreams will be no joke, it can happen a few times at night that little Yugi.... uh.... call it for a better word will spit pleasantly. Or you must start to masturbate before bed.”“Do I tell the others?”“Besides Alister, you are the only one I told about my late blooming period. Yugi, you need to feel comfortable about these kinds of things and don’t hang it at the big clock like those two knuckleheads upstairs do.” Ryou says with a serious but also reassuring smile.Yugi takes in the words, and wonders. “If thigs didn’t happen back then, would we still be together?”“No, but not because I don’t love you that way… it’s just. Um…. I think our kinks are too different from each other.” Ryou says“What do you mean?”“Well….” Ryou says hesitates a bit but then takes off his shirt. He turns his back towards Yugi who gasps in return. Scratches littering his back, and some are freshly made. “As you can see, I like it rough, Alister and I both do, you are too sweet, and your pain tolerance would not allow to do this. you need someone with a spicy character, but that spicy character needs to be possible to mix with your sweetness. Or in other words you need someone who understands you, who grounds you when needed, and who respects your boundaries in every kind of a way. I am not the right person for that, Alister and I are real beasts when we have sex together and although we use safe words, it goes so wild between us we most of the time ignore the safe word when called out.”Yugi looks a long time towards Ryou, he never thought that gentle soul was a pain addict, but then he is glad Ryou trusts him into this, and only him. “It explains why you wear a t-shirt when we go for a swim.” A gentle and sweet smile shows himself on Yugi’s face. “Thank you…. Also, for helping me into the company.” Yugi says and hugs his friend.“Now, who is the hot sexy person that made little Yugi dirty his bed for the first time?” Ryou asks suddenly very cocky making Yugi blush in an instant.Then he laughs with an evil little glint in his eyes. “Okay, it’s someone you and I both know, and yes I know we know allot of people together, but the colour red from a rose is pale and plain compared to theirs.” Yugi smirks and walks back to his bedroom letting Ryou figure this mystery out himself.It took Ryou two weeks to figure it out, during the team-leaders meeting, about how things go, like new rules that need to be explained to the workers among other things. The way Yugi looked at Atem made him figure it out and smile like the Cheshire cat during the rest of the meeting.“The last point I want to discuss with you today….” Atem says and clicks his laptop showing the new and improved system with a sticker from Kuribo and the KOG signature written on its furry coat. “The code system in all offices is changed, Yugi, the newest addition to our team has become the head digital security, and in between that job he also will be designing his own games to which both are under protection from Sennen Corporation, he had talked with all of you in his first week and figured out how to fix it so not everyone can walk in without any warning at front.”“And what is the point from this new system?” Adena asks.“Simple, there is a camera above the system, when someone wants inside and there is a meeting in any office going on and we do not wished to be disturbed, we can deny them access with a press on the button, however when I allow you access, I press a different button and the system gives the one wanting inside a code they need to crack, let’s say Ryou cracks the code first he can come inside and Aaron is the next to enter, he gets a completely different code to crack. It prevents you to give the code freely to the workers who have nothing to look for in my or any office. Aaron?”“But what if we cannot crack the code and you are locked inside?”“Yugi, made it that you are allowed a three times try, if you indeed do not manage to crack all three times, the door will stay shut. Yugi, the developer of the system, has a skeleton key from all doors and he is to be called when needed. Arkana?”“How will you know the person entering the room is able to crack the code given to them?”“Good question, but one I do not answer because that will deflect the whole system.” Atem says, fact is, Mana, Atem and Yugi only know this, but Yugi has given each team leader a button of his own on the penal to decide the difficulty of the code to crack. Since there are a few leaders with the same name Yugi also took a picture and placed that next to the correct name.“And this system will only be in this company?”Yugi tugs Atem’s sleeve and the latter allowed him the lead, he stands taking over the pointer pen from Atem and klick a button showing the game-shop. “There is one company who also uses my system and was basically my Guiney-pig when I developed and improved it the first time and over the years, namely my grandfather’s shop” he says and points towards the picture of his childhood home.“Sadly, I was young and naive at the time, the previous seller took the idea and the credit for it, but Atem’s lawyers made the improved system purely and only MY product. For now, Kame Game is the only company I have as my testing company, Sennen Cooperation, gets it for free since they have given me the finances I needed to make to improve the system. If I ever quit over here for what kind of a reason from this company, I have full rights to take my products with me no harms done, do I resign and Sennen corporation wants to keep the system they need to rent the system so they can still use it. If the system here also is a success, I will create more of these with different settings at the wishes from other companies and rent them to them with the update options they need to keep the system going.” Yugi explains and sees Atem beaming with pride.“Kenta?” Atem asks.“Why not selling the system if you can make more profit out of that?”“Good question, and one I did consider, but if I need to go to the company to check if it still works properly, then I won’t get the travel, repair time, and update that goes with the system paid. If I rent the system, they need to pay me to fix the problem which allows me to get more profit in the long run.” Yugi explains and murmurs of good thinking sound through the room.“Keith?” Atem calls out the name from the blind guy at the desk who had raised his hand.“But what if Kaiba bugs in and claims you stole his product? From what I have heard, he can be relentless. Do you have a trademark to protect what is yours?” he asks Yugi, but Atem is the one to speak up.“Yugi was so smart to give the previous seller copies without the date of creation but added a little something when he created the system unbeknown to him at the time, to prove it’s to be his, I have seen the originals and have seen the developments he made over the years to improve the system he uses at his grandfather’s shop, it’s better than Kaiba’s, and our lawyers are insuring Yugi’s system will not be claimed by Kaiba. I never understood why the previous seller could not update the system, but now I do, he could never figure how the system worked properly in the first place.” Atem says laying a hand on Yugi’s shoulder. “With this we maybe can kick Kaiba from the first place and claim it as ours.”“Also, you see that Kuribo?” Yugi asks. And sees the team leader’s nod. “Although dark magician is known to be my favourite monster, I wanted to do something with the first monster I adored since I was a baby myself, and saw when building my first deck, Kuribo was the first card I ever pulled out of a package. KOG stands for the title I still hold to this day.” Yugi says proudly with a smug grin on his face.“How much do you wish to ask for your system?”“Something I wish to discuss with Atem and his lawyers as soon as the system is improved till perfection.” Yugi says smartly, but the price is already decided.“Any more questions?” Atem asks“Leon is asking were Rebecca is. And we are also curious about it.” Sonia says.“Rebecca is fired, she had stolen sensitive information evolving our workers, she is burning her ass in jail for the next ten years, and after that whenever she dares to enter a foot within the building, police will be called, and she is thrown back in jail again. Mako?”What if Yugi isn’t able to fix the system because of illness?”“Yugi and I will look this week into a team that can work under Yugi in order to fix the security. If you have suggestions, I’d like to hear them.”“Since he has the cases that only have a malfunction at their body, why not Ryou’s team?” Mana offers making the white-haired male blush.“But what if I fail?” he asks“Simple, we game our way out like we always do.” Yugi says with a smile and a knowing look appears on Ryou’s face, a smile tugs towards his eyes making Atem looking confused. But the two males leave it at that.“Anything else?” Atem asks but when he sees no responses. “Meeting dismissed.” He says and walks out.^^^^Over the span of a year Yugi became a popular and loved worker in Sennen corporation, he was always in a happy mood when entering the building. The system turned out to be a huge success and he already has a few orders from other companies to fix it for them and keep it updated. Yugi who decided the price for it together with Atem and the company’s lawyers, also decided since the systems are made in Sennen company, that they share the profit 70% 30% Yugi of course gets the 70% of it.Atem refused at first but a talk with his team-leaders made him decide to take the 30% offer and use those for the convenient of the workers. Like special chairs, personal lockers for when they need like Yugi store their nutrition bottles close by and more things like that.But although Yugi looks very happy, it was when Atem spoke to Ryou he learned Yugi is still wearing a mask.And after today he is going to make an end to it, but first he has a different piggy to wash, namely his cousin….“You stole the system from my father Muto, and I will not have that! I will send my lawyers to you for stealing from my company!” Kaiba yells hovering over Yugi who is close to crying.It’s a good thing Yugi has his office also at the top floor, only his room is like Mana only a cabinet kind of space so when something like this happens, Yugi and Mana are trapped like rats. Something Atem is now working on with his lawyers and advisors.Atem who was talking with his lawyers heard the commotion and they ran outside to see what was going on, poor Yugi is almost hiding behind Mana who ran inside his cabinet to protect him, because Kaiba hovers over them scaring them both to death. But what makes Atem’s blood boil is that his son sees this all happening. He crouches down and Heba runs into his papa's arms, then he turns to Kaiba and a strong “Enough!” makes that Kaiba stops his rant.“It’s one thing you are scolding my workers, be it within good reason! But to do it like the way you do while a three-year-old is around, that’s low Kaiba! Even for you!” he says sternly pressing the head of his son against his chest looking towards Mana.“Mana take Heba and go to Ryou, he needs your help with something, I will fix this mess.” He turns to Mana handling her their still crying son. “Yugi, Kaiba and the three of you, my office!” he states in a no-nonsense voice. Yugi to scared to go against him walks over right away. The lawyers and Kaiba follow.Atem looks to the clock and walks to the fridge placed on their floor. He takes out two bottles and walks to his office where he sees Kaiba has a made himself comfortable in his chair, the lawyers claimed the three other chairs and Yugi is standing in a corner fiddling with his bag which is peeping. Before Kaiba can begin he raises his hand, and hands the nutrition bottle to Yugi and since he is shaking too much to connect it correctly, Atem helps Yugi. Then he helps Yugi to calm down and lets him sip from the water bottle.When Yugi is calm he finally turns to Kaiba. “Now, if you keep your volume to a minimum, I allow you to speak, but remember, Yugi stands under the company and my protection so be careful with how you speak about and towards him or I allow myself to call security and kick you out no matter if your my cousin yes or no!” Atem says sternly.“I figured the other day when I was visiting Schroder, they had a new security system I didn’t sell them but is the same my father sold to your father years ago. Schroder told me he rented the system from you, claiming that he is the developer, and he has stolen that idea from my company!” Kaiba says while angrily pointing towards Yugi who cowers behind Atem.To that the lawyers stand like one man, “Do you have any prove your father developed the system first? Because till our knowing, the system documents in mister Muto’s computer dates at least two years older than the papers your father claimed that the system was built originally!” one of them says.“Also, we always found it strange that a system like this one was according to you not updatable, while mister Muto over the years updated the system of his grandfather without any problems which he according to the papers developed for his grandfather’s game shop.” The second lawyer says and Kaiba pales up for a moment. But then he takes his suitcase and takes out papers, he throws them on the table, while Atem looks at the papers from Yugi he perks up, Yugi was only 11 when he developed it the first time? that’s 10 years ago!“This is my prove that the system rightfully belongs to me, my father created it 8 years ago.” The man smirks with a smug look on his face.The third lawyer takes the papers, takes out a binoculars and with it his eyes scan it briefly before he sees the trademark watermark Yugi told them about he uses since he was in his early teen years. “Tell me mister Kaiba, for a man that practically gets ‘horny’ over a powerful monster like the Blue eyes white dragon since early childhood, isn’t it odd that a Kuribo with the tiny name ‘Yugi Muto’ on the left foot is used as watermark to confirm the document isn’t yours?” he says knowing full well that Yugi claimed the title King Of Games when he was only 14 and added that signature since then.Kaiba looks stunned, he had hoped he could remove the watermark but till today no avail. He also never knew Yugi had written his own name down on the foot of the Kuribo. But he has a backup plan to answer that question, only before he can open his mouth. “And you can’t blame your brother on this, Mokuba already told us he would rather pick out a strong monster like a Gandora or red eyes black dragon than a weak little Kuribo as water brand and would never use the name of a different person to prove it’s his. Also, your father if I’m not mistaken used Exodia as his trademark water brand. If anything, mister Kaiba, we can sue your company for stealing mister Muto’s idea. But we are willing to give you a counteroffer....” The first one states.“And that is?” Kaiba asks hoping he can keep himself out of court.“You call the system back from every company and tell them system is expired and the production of the improved system are rightfully bought over by Sennen corporation and they already have renewed it to the companies’ contents, you pay 90% the current system is worth today at mister Muto with a fair apology coming from your company, each within a span of 12 months. If you do not agree with these terms, we see us forced to go to court!” the second lawyer states.The third takes out a form and lays it in front of Kaiba’s nose. “If you are willing to agree on our terms, we already have made a contract, as you can see it’s already signed by us, and both mister Sennen and Muto. All it needs is your signature mister Kaiba.” He says with a smug grin on his face.Kaiba takes the form, he reads it and sees he is stuck to this deal, taking a pen from his jacket he signs the form and hands it back to the third lawyer. “Wonderful, I make sure a copy is sent to your company.”“You have grown Sennen, it’s obvious you are willing to fight against your own blood when necessary.”“I simply protect my workers, and Yugi happened to be one of them, and if it means to fight against my own flesh and blood, then so be it.” Atem says placing a reassuring hand on Yugi’s shoulder gently squeezing it.“Yeah, your right. Muto! Take good care of my bratty cousin. And I hope to see you with the next tournament, with or without that thing, your fans ask each time for the King of Games debut.” Kaiba says and stunned his nephew by sending Yugi a rare smile, a smile the elder man only reserves for his little brother.“I’ll think about it Kaiba.” Yugi says with a smile, but promised himself he wants to be fully recovered before he throws himself into new tournaments. “Say hi to Mokuba from me.” He says while seeing Kaiba walk out the door without a word. He then turns to Atem and takes a gulp when he sees the look on his face, Yugi knows he is in trouble.“I need you a bit longer today.” Atem says and then waves him off.
Thirza-1984.
At the end of the day, all the workers are home, even Mana who went out early today to take her son home since it’s her week. Yugi stands in front of the door and after a few jumps and deep breaths he knocks the door and the system pops the question, Yugi cracks the code and walks inside his boss’s office.“Sit down.” Atem says with a tone in his voice Yugi can’t place. He takes a seat but is confused. A knock on the door and Atem stands and walks to the door, he opens it and a woman walks inside, he offers the woman his chair and he himself sits next to Yugi.“Yugi, I want you to meet my mother, she is a psychologist with a profession in feeding difficulties of all ages, and she is going to help you get rid of that tube once and for all.” Atem says in the same no-nonsense voice he used this afternoon against Kaiba.“Hello Yugi, my name is Amara Sennen, I have studied psychology and mastered myself on the feeding tube area. Atem told me you have this tube little over five years now?” Yugi stunned he is thrown in this without his consulting first nods a bit dumbly while sending the evil eye towards Atem.“Oh, stop that look Yugi, it doesn’t suet you and it only makes you more cuter.” Atem says with his trademark smirk making his own mother laugh out loud.Amara clears her throat. “Can you tell me how you got that tube.” She asks.And Yugi seeing he needs to sit this through, sighs and then starts.... “Well....”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter 6: How it happened.
“Well…. It happened shortly after my mom and I got involved in a car-crash, on my 16th birthday. I was close to the end of my senior year in High-school—”“Senior? But kids that age normally are in Sophomore year. How did you manage to skip two complete years?” Amara interrupts Yugi shocked.“Yeah, well, my mom wanted me to do well in school, she promised me she would pay my driver’s licence and buy me a car if I would do good in school, a C on my card was enough to redraw that bargain. I skipped 7th grade in middle school, and during freshman on high-school I was already doing work a sophomore should be doing, so thanks to that, I skipped sophomore and went straight to junior year and from there it was a challenge enough for me not to skip classes anymore, and still I was an A+ student in almost every class, P.E. was the only class I scored a B-. Soo, that basically explains a bit, I am kinda a nerd since I focussed more on my studies and games than the average kids my age did.” Yugi explains.“I’m impressed, I needed to literally kick Atem to his studies, he managed a B mostly, he only had an A on sports.” Amara says softly.“Well, a nerd or not, you are defiantly the cutest nerd I have ever seen.” Atem says with a smirk.“Hey!” Yugi shouts pouting, but then hangs his head in shame because he scolded a man five years his senior, and is also his boss.“Atem! Behave.” Amara shouts with both a warning but also naughty twinkle in her eyes and turns her attention towards Yugi again. “So, you got involved in a car crash? Did you get the tube during that period?”“No, I got the tube shortly after I graduated, about three months after the accident.” Yugi says softly.“Then tell me about the accident first please?” Amara asks Yugi and he nods, thinking back to the day before he would turn 16 and then the dreadful day after that.
Flashback: Yugi’s pov.
I am walking home from school together with Ryou, my friends and I agreed I would see them on Sunday since mom, grandpa and Ryou most likely would do things with me tomorrow, and when we see the Game-shop in sight, we also see a car I do not recognize as being from one of the neighbours, or one of them must have bought a new car.I can’t help myself but fall in love with this stranger’s car, it sure is a beauty, a wonderful royal blue colour paint and what strikes me is the signature on the hood, it spells KOG on the furry coat of Kuribo, it looks like my watermark. I wonder who’s that is? I shake it off and take a deep sigh, I hope mom will soon teach me how to drive, maybe with a bit of luck, and this person will become a regular of grandpa’s I can ask and drive this beauty one day.I can’t help but smirk, I know I’m usually not one to break rules, but Joey and Honda did secretly allow me a few times to drive in their car. “What are you smirking at, what kind of shenanigans are you up to this time?” I hear the soft amused voice from Ryou say next to me.“Oh, nothing in special, ready to meet mom but this time as being my boyfriend?” I ask him and reach out to grab his hand while he nods and together, we walk inside take off our shoes and then go to the kitchen.“Happy 1-day early 16th birthday Yugi!” mom and grandpa shout with a happy smile on their faces. Grandpa standing next to mom, and mom holding a plate with 8 cupcakes on them decorated with my favourite sprinkles two for each to nibble on. On two of them a candle one with the number 1 and the other with the number 6 presenting my upcoming 16th birthday. I’m a little confused to why they celebrate my sweet 16 today and not tomorrow, but… you don’t hear me complain.I close my eyes and make a wish, and while my eyes still are closed, I blow out the candles. While doing so I feel grandpa’s wrinkled hand press me a little box in my hand. I smile he always gives me my birthday gift this way. I open my eyes and see a little car in my hand, the same Fort as standing in front of the game-store, the same colour, the same Kuribo with the KOG initials on the hood. I have a feeling and while feeling the box I feel the underside has a strange disturbance.I look and see it’s a small package, I carefully pull off the tape and unwrap the gift, a set of keys and the papers belonging to that beauty outside. I look up towards mom and grandpa, and then point my finger towards the front. “That’s mine?!” I yell clearly taken back by such a grand gift.The smiles on grandpa’s and mom’s faces fall to a pout. “Yes, we saved a long time to give you a decent car, you worked hard to get your own car as promised. You don’t like it?”And then it klicks, KOG, I’m known the King Of Games ever since I am 14 years old, and although I’m a dark magician user, Kuribo is the first monster I found in my deck when I started building it at age 10 and use it as my watermark since then, KOG I added when I got the title, and this is their way of telling me the car belongs to me, yeah it’s not a Jaguar or even a Mercedes, but hey, if I am taught one important thing during my almost 16 years, then it is never judge the price-tag, and be happy with what you get.Still, I can’t help to tease them a bit. I form my angriest face and with a disappointed tone “No mom, I don’t like it.” I say and hear Ryou gasp next to me and feel him looking disappointed towards me. I look towards mom and grandpa and see their faces turn in a deeply discouraged look I never seen before. “But…” I say and keep waiting for a bit more, and then relax my face. “I sure as hell love it! Thanks for the awesome gift!” I squeal and jump into their stunned forms.“I knew that sparkle in your eyes meant a joke.” Grandpa says with obvious relief in his voice. “I’m so glad you never were a spoiled brat.” He goes on hugging me deeply.“You never allowed me to be a spoiled brat, and for that I’m grateful. Thank you, mama, grandpa.” I whisper to them both.Ryou feeling left out simply joins us in the hug and then I remember I needed to introduce him as my boyfriend since a week ago. After the introduction mom says there are some things, I need to be aware off and I look with a pout how grandpa claims the keys till I have my driver’s licence.“Now you have your own car, it does not mean you can drive it tomorrow, I teach you in my car, and we start tomorrow 9 AM sharp.” Ah that explains why they celebrate my party tonight, she wants to give me a crash course, I’m behind the wheel tomorrow until the end of the day and probably have my licence before the next week is over.“When you have your licence, I want you to help me with grandpa’s needs, and helping me when I need to do grocery shopping. Also, you need to learn how to spend your allowance better now, because when you get a ticket, it’s for your own wallet, grandpa and I will pitch by with gas if you need to drive for us, otherwise also that is on yours completely.” Mom says sternly and I nod. “Good now that is cleared. Take two cupcakes each and go to your homework, we leave in three hours.”She shoos me and Ryou to my room and we do our homework together, after that we go to a restaurant for dinner. This is how we always celebrate birthday parties going for dinner together and the next day is for friends and other family to come over.
Thirza-1984:
Next morning 9 AM, mom and I sit in the car and she first she helps me setting the chair in the right angle so I can reach everything without any trouble, then she shows me how I must place the mirrors correctly so I can look in every angle, and finally I am allowed to start the engine and start to drive.Mom clearly is beaming with pride. “Yugi? Are you certain you didn’t cheat with your friends?” she asks me suspiciously.Carefully I smirk. “No mom this is the very first time I have driven a car, or you must include the video games Joey and I play.” I say sweety knowing that she totally will whack my head if I tell her my little secret, not caring I’m a birthday boy today.“The video games taught you well then, with the way you are driving, I strongly believe you will pass first time.” She says exited before I suddenly see a different car speeding in towards us, and before I even can turn the wheel and dodge, I hear the crash from metal into metal, the other car hit the nose of the hood and with the force it maintained it forced us towards a pole crashing mom’s side into that, I feel more than I see the metal bend around the pole.Splinters of glass scratch my face and I feel my shoulder making an angry twist. My world turns black for a moment, but when I come too, I carefully turn my face towards mom ignoring the pain shooting up my shoulder while knowing it’s better not to move. She lays there her face in a strange angle, her face covered with blood, her mouth open, as if in a scream, but what scares me are her eyes. Her eyes are open with a vacant and scared look in them…. No not vacant, deathly is more of a fitting way to describe them, I guess.I try to move my arm in the hope I can shake her, but as soon as I lift it, a flaring pain shoots from my right side to my left. I drop my arm realising I can’t move and won’t even try. “Mom?” I ask and hear how scratchy my voice sounds but ignore it for now. “Mommy?” I call out again and I feel panic raising inside of me, tears stream down my cheeks. “MAMA!” I yell out desperately and while I see the blue and red flashes nearing us, I keep yelling for my “Mom.” Who does not respond at all?A knock on the window makes me turn my face, not caring about the flaring pain shooting through my shoulders, but I turn back to mom and keep yelling and calling her mama. The door at my side opens. “Hey son. Are you okay?” the paramedic asks me to try and get my attention.“Mama.” I cry out hoarsely and tiredly.“She is your mother?” the paramedic asks me, and I finally manage to snap my attention towards him. I nod feeling again a flare of pain shooting through my body, I hiss in pain. “Okay, my colleague is going to look at her, okay? Try not to move.” he asks me now he realises he has my attention. “My name is Koji, What’s your name son?”“Y…Yugi.”“Hello Yugi, what’s your mother’s name?”“Akiko.”He gives the info to his co-worker and then turns his attention back to me. “Were does it hurt son?” he asks me, calming me down in a fatherly way.“My shoulders…. Can’t move.” I slur out in a daze.“Good, I’m going to place a mask over your face okay, don’t panic this gives you air even if you don’t need it right now it will also help you to relax.” He says while showing me a mask that will go over my mouth and nose. Carefully he slides an elastic band behind my head and then covers my face. “Okay you can talk normally we don’t have to take the mask off for that.” He says and I gently nod. “Good, I’m going to bring in an ivy, it has painkillers that will course directly into your bloodstream it probably will make you drowsy, but I need you to stay awake for as long as possible okay? Any other places that hurt?” he asks me. And I try to focus on the pain I have coursing through my body.“My shoulders.” I slur out since the pain there is the most prominent. I feel him cutting the safety belt free and sliding off me then he hovers over me as if he is trying to figure something out.“Do you know how heavy you are?”“mmm…. Around… 40 or 45 kilos… I think.”“Good, Yugi listens to me, okay? My colleague is here with the stretcher, what I see is that I can easily lift you out. It will hurt but I need you to bite down on this cloth as hard as you can.” He says holding a cloth in front of my mouth after removing the mask. I open and feel the cloth placed gently inside. “I’m going count, and on three I lift you out and place you on the stretcher.” He says while sliding an arm under my legs and the other behind my shoulders, I feel how he takes a firm grip on them and then. “1…2…3” he says and in a swift moment he lifts me out.I bite down hard on the cloth almost till the point I fear I will break my teeth after all. And then suddenly I’m buckled up on the stretcher and I hear the doors from the ambulance close. When did that happen? I wonder and see Koji in my vision again. “Open your mouth, then I can take this out.” He says softly taking the cloth and when he feels I have opened my mouth and the tension is off it takes the cloth away. Next, he places the mask back on my face.“You did amazing son, is there someone we can call?”“Gra…grandpa…Kame Game.” I slur out feeling fatigued hitting me fast.“I know that shop, we will make sure your grandfather is informed. Where were you two going to?”“Driving, first lesson.”“First? You know you need to be at least 16 for that huh?” he says with a caring chuckle“Today. 16.” I manage to bring out with a smile.“Stay awake Yugi, I know it’s hard to do so, but I need you to stay awake a bit longer, okay?” he says gently but with an urge in his voice. I nod, seizing the action quickly because it is making me nauseous and hurt in my shoulders. Koji must have seen my discomfort and takes a spittoon keeping it in front of me, luckily the nauseous feeling drifts off. “Good, so 16 today? Happy birthday, did you have a fun morning so far?”“Mmm got my own car, grandpa, mama, Ryou and I went to dinner last night.”“Your own car… that one?” he asks me with clear shock.“No, mama wanted me to learn in her car.” I say feeling it’s getting tough to stay awake. “M’tired.”“We are almost there as soon as you are in the hospital you can sleep. Who is Ryou? Your brother?” he asks me clearly to keep me awake.“Boyfriend… so tired…”“Alm… There Yu…” Koji says but I only catch broken words, the exhaustion is winning this game, and my world turns black.
Thirza-1984:
When I wake up white walls are greeting me and making me moan loudly, wondering which idiot decided to use crystal white walls in a bedroom combined with the bright lights overhead. Two voices gently call out my name, after I blinked my eyes a few times I look to the left and see Ryou standing next to me and grandpa at the other side of the bed. “Yugi, thank gods you are awake.” Grandpa says with tears in his eyes and his wrinkled hand finds his way to my cheek. I can see the worry and fear he desperately is trying to hide. Ra he must have been worried like hell.“What’s wrong with me?” I ask when I realise, I’m in a hospital bed.“Your left wrist is broken, your shoulder was dislocated, your right wrist is sprained, and your stomach got a serious blow, but they could see no bleeding wounds there, you have a concussion and was out for a day.” Ryou says placing his hand on my casted wrist. “When your grandfather called me yesterday, I rushed over to get him and take him here.”“Mama?” I ask only using that affection name towards her when I’m upset, and feel the tears already stream down my cheeks terrified for the news they are going to give me.“Your mother was still alive when they arrived here, but the damage she took were to severe, she is declared brain dead Yugi.” Grandpa says tears now freely streaming down his cheeks. “They keep her on life support until you would wake so you can say goodbye.”“But she must live.” I sob out. “Grandpa, please, don’t take her?” I beg.“Yugi, my dear boy, she never wanted this and you know it.” He reasons with me. “She never wanted to end on life support and made that perfectly clear to the both of us. She loves you till death, remember, you are the favourite mistake she ever made.” He says with a smile and Ryou looks up confused, but grandpa doesn’t give him the chance to ask. “Your mother always hated how people would lay there still in that bed, or sitting in that wheelchair looking only to the walls and roof, not knowing if their son or daughter came to visit them, not knowing how the world would change over the years. She never wanted to have that burden placed upon us, so she wrote in her will to pull the plug if she ever would end up in any kind of vegetated state.”I nod, she told me many times about how she worked as a volunteer in the hospital before I was born, she told me many times about how pity she felt for those people in that state, how bad she felt when their children started their own families and never visited them. And I know by keeping her alive right now, they go against her wishes.“I asked them to patch her up, and to keep her alive so you could say goodbye to her one last time, they agreed, it’s something they do for relatives who are survivals of a crash like you had.” Grandpa explains. “I call a nurse and we go and see her and say goodbye.” He says walking out the room leaving me and Ryou alone.“I’m so sorry Yugi.” Ryou says softly while scooting closer and allowing me to cuddle into him. And by the time grandpa came back with a nurse I already had fallen asleep again, to exhausted to be moved to a different room and back to my own room.
Thirza-1984:
Next day I’m okay enough to sit up for a while, so the nurse takes me and grandpa to the ward they keep mama in, because I need to sit in the wheelchair, they lower her bed so I can see her properly. I stroke her face; she feels so cold. My sweet loving and caring mom.Last night when I was calmed down enough, I explained Ryou that she got me when she was barely 16, my father ran away when he figured he impregnated her and realised he was still too young to be a dad. In the hope he would turn around, mom stayed a single mom.
Flashback ends:
“My grandparents never blamed me for her mistake, and we often joked I was the favourite mistake she had ever made when growing up. Grandpa and grandma helped mom raising me, and only a few months after my 7th birthday I faced death for the first time. I was the one finding grandma since I always was the one waking her and begging her to make me my favourite pancakes when she was done napping. It still haunts me.“I hated the fact grandpa needed to take the job of father instead of grandfather. He could never spoil me like a grandfather would spoil their grandchild with when visiting because I saw him 24/7. Don’t get me wrong, I love my grandpa, and I hope to have many more years with him, but there were days I needed a modern-day father, not an old-fashioned grandfather. And now with loosing mom, I’m an orphan. Grandpa geot full custody over me until I turned 18.“I went to see mom, and when we entered the room she was in, the doctor told me he needed to unplug her, it could take a while before her heart would stop and she would go to join grandma. Her heart stopped an hour after they unplugged her.” Yugi sniffles and wipes a tear away. “I needed to stay a week in the hospital, and when I came out grandpa and I went directly towards her funeral. After that I stayed home for one more week and then went back to school, my friends kept a close eye on me since I started to eat less and lesser.”Atem sees at Amara’s face that Yugi’s pain is deep, and she already is making plans on how to help Yugi. “How did you eventually get your driver’s licence? A crash like how you described normally makes someone never wanting to drive ever again, let alone step in a car.” Atem says.“When I returned to school Joey made it his mission to overcome my fear, for as long as I was wearing a cast, he forced me to sit behind the wheel in his car, place the seat in the correct angle and fixing the mirrors to my liking, he forced me to play with the pedals and shortly before the cast came off, he wanted me to start the car. By then that fear was gone for the biggest part.“When the cast came off, he took it as his responsibility to teach me to drive, and only a week after that I was the proud owner of my own driver’s licence and car. And when graduating I drove to and from school grandpa sitting next to me in the car, I was gifted on my 16th birthday and the same car I still drive in to this day. That was the last birthday I ever celebrated; the memories hurt too much. And because there was so much going on with me, I decided to break things off with Ryou, he insisted we stayed friends, and until today I’m happy I agreed to that. Because a better friend then him I could not wish for.”Atem well known as a man of affections towards those he cares deeply for, pulls Yugi out the chair he occupies, sits down, and pulls Yugi in his lap allowing the younger to cry and soak his shirt rubbing soothing circles over the youngers back and with his other hand he runs his fingers through the think crown of hair when suddenly it stops. “How did you get this scar?” he asks.Yugi feels the hand from the elder is just above his eyebrow. “This one I got when I collapsed during the last tournament I had entered. That hospital stay, also gave me this one.” Yugi says pointing to the tube on his left cheek. “I was still hurting allot from mom’s death.“It was closely after graduation that Pegasus suddenly stood at the door with an invitation for me and Joey to participate his newest tournament, I didn’t feel like going, I was still suffering the loss of my mother. But Joey, grandpa and Pegasus convinced me to go, it would set my mind off the pain I was feeling. With hesitation I agreed and took off towards the island Pegasus was holding his tournament on that would last a weak.“With Joey, we both made it to the finals, and although it looked like I was a normal teen by day, at night I was sick and threw up till the point of waking Joey and him nearly calling a medic for me, but I was stubborn and kept going and kept ignoring the pain in my stomach not knowing I was nearly killing myself by doing so.“In the finals, I stood in front of Joey, I can’t remember much of that match, but I do remember I had 3000 LP left and Joey had 500 LP. It was my turn and when I drew my card my stomach protested heavily, I could not stop the bile from raising, threw up and collapsed.“Originally, I had lost the game by default, but Joey would not have it he said he had less life points so it was more than normal I would keep the title since I always fought so hard for it to keep it mine. Pegasus however said since the match wasn’t officially decided we would resume the game with the same life points we left at. It never came to that point though.”“I remember that match, it was broadcasted, I was ill that week otherwise I also would have participated. I followed it on TV and saw how the broadcast suddenly fell black, I thought it was a power shortage on Pegasus his end. But how did you got that scar?”“I apparently fell with my head against the counter of the duel system and made this wound doing so, they realised I had a raging fever and apparently what I did throw up was blood with little food I had consumed that morning.“They transferred me with a helicopter and I was in the hospital again, they told me I had an emergency surgery on my stomach, apparently during the accident three months early they had overseen an open wound in my stomach that grew bigger and bigger overtime bringing me in grave danger, they told me it would take a while to eat solid foods again but because I was lacking important nutrition’s, they offered me a choice, a feeding tube in my stomach, or this one. They could not guarantee I would ever eat solid food ever again; it was a chance of 50/50 but still; I chose this tube to feed me in the hope one day I was able to feed myself again.” Yugi says.“Why this one? Why not the stomach tube invisible for the naked eye? It probably would have helped you sooner to find a job?” Atem asks confused.Yugi smirks and Amara sees it. “Because my name means game. ever since I was born, I made a game out of life, and to win a game you need to overcome obstacles that sometimes are impossible if you pick the obvious. I wanted to prove that one day I was able to eat solid food again without having one more unnecessary scar on my body.”“Yeah, your probably are right, but it took you half a year to find a job.”“And it’s a job I enjoy greatly, Atem, I strongly believe if I truly picked the tube in my stomach, I probably would be looking for a new job repeatedly since I would not be the happy and content man I am today. And you know why?” Yugi reasons and Atem shakes his head. “Because I enjoy working in a place with a bunch of misfits of co-workers, and having a baby-boss wining for coffee three times a day, every day over the intercom making Mana growl but winking at me all the while she walks out to get it.” he says making Amara snicker in her hand while he continues. “then have a tight ass boss and work in a company that only allows ‘normal people’ and can’t take a joke. Yes, it was a gamble to take, but I don’t regret this gamble one bit.” He says while looking Atem deeply in the eyes, just as long till he sees the joyful man he secretly fell in love with.“And why are you still not eating if you have this thing for the past 5 years now?” Amara asks.A sigh escapes Yugi’s lips. “I tried, several times, but the idea of throwing up and maybe burst the scar in my stomach scared me I think, grandpa and I tried multiple times to get me a shrink, but the doctors I saw all told the same, I needed a good kick under my ass and man up and become the grown man I am, because it was all between my ears and I’m making a habit to use my status as king of games as an excuse. I can’t even remember how many doctors told us the same, we stopped asking shortly before I got the job and tried it ourselves with not an ounce of luck.”“Did you enter college?” Amara asks taking Yugi in a short loop for a moment.“Eventually, yes, as I had promised grandpa I would attend it, I entered college a month after the school year already had started, and the first semester I had double the workload to catch up on that, the tube never held me back during my classes, as I said, I made a game out of it. I also was lucky Ryou was there with me sharing the same classes. Because I attended college in Domino, I didn’t have a dorm, I slept at home.”“How did you start the inspiration of making a game of your life?”“I blame grandpa, mom got a pregnancy illness, uh I believe they call it Hellp syndrome? But I’m not sure. Anyway, I was born in the 28th week of pregnancy, and they didn’t want to name me until I proved I was well enough to leave the hospital. According to grandpa I started to make a game there to win every obstacle I faced. And after three months grandpa was honoured by mom to name me. When out of the hospital I kept making a game out of everything, homework, chores, life, I always kept comparing it as it was a game.”“That explains the interactions between you and Ryou.” Atem states remembering the first meeting Yugi attended in.“How inspiring, so, how about we make a game out of this, I figure out a game-plan, and you come to my clinic for a little while. We make a wager you have that tube out within 12 months?” Amara says.“Then I wager 18 months.” Atem says with a cocky smirk.Yugi looks at them, they are serious about this. “You think I can do this?” he asks them.“No Yugi, I don’t think, I know you can do this.” Amara says.“Then I would say… 10 months.” Yugi places his wager with a smile. “But my work here? And grandpa?”“Already taken care off, Ryou goes check on your grandfather every other day and when necessary, your grandfather knows to call me or Ryou, you will leave to my mother’s clinic tomorrow morning. I’m sure Mana and I are capable enough not to make a mess out of the system yet and if so, Ryou already can help us out. Also, since I also placed in on the bet, mom sends me on daily base an update be it positive or negative. I promise I make sure your grandfather stays updated too. And all expenses are paid” Atem says.Amara turns to Yugi who has tears streaming down his cheeks out of cheer happiness. “Ready to win this game?” she asks him.Yugi looks to Amara, then to Atem, and then he says with newfound determination. “Let’s duel.”The three set up an contract with the wager they have made, and when they signed it, they leave the office, and go their way. Next morning Atem arrives at the Muto household to see Yugi saying goodbye to his grandfather with a big hug, his suitcase already standing ready to be placed in the car. He will drive Yugi towards the clinic to make sure he arrives okay and is ready to start his next adventure.When arriving the clinic an hour later, Yugi feels anxious but a simple hand from Atem on his leg calms him down.They get out and while rolling his suitcase inside he goes to the desk to sign himself in. Amara who has a place close by the clinic for when she is called in for a specific patient, is called out and she greets Yugi warmly and shows him his room, a single room with a wonderful view. After he is settled, he says his goodbyes to Atem. And Amara explains him the rules while showing him around.“No matter what disorder the patients have, this is mainly group effort, we try to help each other and learn from each other. It’s rare when a patient walks out without the desired result, it happened one time in the 30 years I work here and that was only in my first year. You have group sessions, but also private sessions. The group session is with a regular psychiatrist, they change with every session. The private session is with the psychiatrist you are signed up to, in your case you are my patient, so I do the private sessions with you.”“Are there more like me?”“Currently? No, you are the only one with eating difficulties, but do we allow us to stop that?” she says seeing Yugi looks exhausted and guides him back to his room, she tugs him in like a mom would do and before he drifts off.“No, lets Duel.”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter 7: Daddy’s little boy.
~ Yugiiiiiiiiii! My laptop is at it agaiiiin! ~ Atem whines in the intercom like the baby-boss he can be. Yugi looks up from the game he finally manages to fix now the system works properly, then he sees Mana making that one perfect eye roll.With a sigh he gets up and walks towards the office, he saw on his work laptop already the camera’s in Atem’s office fell off. “I wonder what he did this time, or didn’t do but willing to.” The man muses and uses his skeleton-key to walk inside. “I swear you and computers, how did you manage before I came into the company Baby-boss?” he scolds the man only five years his senior.“Not well, that’s why I hired you.” The elder grins with a guilty look in his eyes.“Tell me why I fell in love with you again?”“Because it was fate, it took some time but eventually I managed to win your heart. No?”“Remember how it happened?” Yugi says and Atem gives Yugi that one smirk he knows why he was called into the office, especially while Atem closes in on him.
Two years earlier:
It took Yugi a month in the clinic before he and Amara managed a game-plan to fix his eating habit where he felt comfortable in. They talked allot together and discovered allot of hidden troubles that where bothering Yugi. Like his father who abandoned him and his mother when she figured she was pregnant at the young age of 15 and got him close before her 16th birthday. And his grandfather who needed to be his father instead of his grandfather and needed to raise him. The lost around his beloved grandmother and how he was the one finding her as a 7 year old, the loss of his mother, the short relationship with Ryou and the fact he still feels guilty about it when he broke up, the fact he got harsh treatments when he went for job interviews, the fact he had allot of hospital visits even one that traumatised him little when he was only 14 years old. It all played along and prevented him from recovering properly.The game-plan they made together is that Yugi starts his day with two bottles of nutrition’s, both slow feeders, and he needs to eat short snacks in between during the day to fix the missing third feeding. She introduced Yugi first with baby’s first meal, and the first few times he needed to run to the toilet to throw up the food again, but the encouraging words from Amara, the staff running around and the other patients who convinced him to keep trying, made it that Yugi was willing to try again the next time.Since Yugi gets new bottles and supplies every three months, and the supplier does not take it back conform Hygiene Food Regulations, and since he needs to pay for it himself until he stops the delivery himself, they made it his goal that the next delivery will be his last and he will finish that batch within the span of nine months before he will go fully back on solid food.So now he has only two slow feedings a day by nutrition, the first he instals in the morning, and the second hours later. During mealtimes he eats small portions of food and learns to keep the food inside, showing him that the scar in his stomach is healed properly and will not bust when he eats something.After three months Yugi wanted to try himself, he was able to keep the food in, and mentally he also felt allot better, so Amara took him home. His grandfather got introduced with the new feeding plan and he also was willing to help his grandson. He was delighted to see Yugi enjoying the food he made, but he was sad he could not eat full meals at once.They both decided to keep the feeling of company amongst each other, grandpa would close the store during lunchtime for an hour instead of eating behind the counter when his grandson was at home like he was used to.It came as a shock to him that during his period in the clinic, he learned that Ryou and Alister broke up. Ryou had walked in on Alister who was pouncing into a different male and even had the audacity to suggest a three-some, Ryou was not pleased with this had packed his bags, because Ryou had no place to go, he called his boss for help and Atem was happy to rent him a room of his own in the mansion.The first thing Yugi also did was visiting Atem at home since he learned the man was taken down with the flue. But instead of seeing Atem, he needed to catch little Heba who took at work an obvious liking towards Yugi, and had missed him the past few months he wasn’t there. Yugi forgot Atem since the little boy wanted attention more and Yugi was willing to give it.Atem however saw Uncle Yugi as Heba called him at work, came for a visit, he also saw how willing the young man was to play with his son. He enjoyed how much of a liking the two took towards each other and sees Yugi might be an amazing daddy for his little boy. The man was planning something out already, but he needed to wait a few more months to do so.Atem by nature not a real sweet tooth like Yugi and Mana are, noticed Yugi was drooling each time Mana was eating a donut, after confirming with his mother if it was okay, he silently ordered Mana to next time take a sweet thing along for Yugi, and it happened when Atem started wining for coffee only an hour later, when Mana returned from the coffee shop, she calls Yugi over and shows him the sweets. Delight shows in Yugi’s eyes, and he grabs for the key to break into their baby-bosses office.It’s funny how he took over Mana’s habit of calling Atem a baby-boss. But with his wining, yeah, he deserves that title.The two went to Atem’s office since that is the place Yugi eats together with them and they can support him when he feels for throwing up, because Yugi still was getting used to the flavours and textures again, he needed to run a few times to the toilet when the tastes were too much for his stomach to handle, he was always followed by Atem who gave him comfort, pulling his hair out of his face and rub soothing circles to calm Yugi down.With that first little cake Yugi sat himself down and nibbled at the small delight. His tastebuds were in overloud from the sweetness he was consuming, and looking at Yugi’s face, Atem took a stance to make a dash behind the younger male. But when Yugi nibbled again at the cake, he saw Yugi enjoy it very much, Atem relaxed and took a sip of his coffee hiding the special smile he only reserved for Yugi.Two months later, Yugi was now back to one bottle nutrition’s a day, the solid food eating goes well, he does not have the feeling he needs to throw up anymore, but he still needs to learn… when he eats too much, he will get sick. It is amazing how Atem, Mana, and his grandfather are also a great help in that. Atem keeps his mother updated over Yugi’s improvements and she also is pleased to hear and see Yugi is doing well during her sessions with him.It took him a while to figure out how he could do the calculations for when he wanted the nutrition and eventually settled to install it in the morning and then for 8 hours. In a month he needs to dose the bottle in half for a day and then after a month he is free of the nutrition’s completely and should be able to eat at his heart contents and win the wager they had placed at the beginning since he managed to get nutrition-bottle-free within 9 months.So now Yugi is further in the process and it’s going to be a hot weekend, Atem decides to take his plan into action. He called Yugi inviting him over for dinner, Yugi who is happy he can eat again and only needs nutrition’s in the morning, and missed Heba allot the past few months since he didn’t visit the office with one of his grandparents, Yugi simply couldn’t say no.So that Saturday afternoon he drove his car up the lawn onto Sennen mansion. He still isn’t used at how big this place really is, but he doesn’t care. It’s the pleasant company he is going to spend time with those matters.Yugi bloomed allot over the past months since he came home from the clinic, and not only his grandfather but also his friends and co-workers see he bloomed. However. with the growth he made with his health, he also realised Ryou was right, the wet dreams he is having are no joke, he has nights when he wakes at least three times because his dreams about Atem were to lively to comprehend, they were simply a dream. Yugi still believes it’s not right to take care of himself to calm his… ‘lively nights’ as he calls them, so he takes it as it goes and hopes it passes within time. Atem who often saw Yugi tired was worried but because the latter shrugged it off, the elder went to Ryou and asked him what possibly could be wrong.Ryou normally not one to snitch also saw how tired Yugi looked, had enough and told Atem the truth about him being a late bloomer, also being a virgin on a lot of things in the book safe for wet dreams, kisses and make-out sessions.When he enters the front door and wants to ring, the door slams open and the little boy almost runs him over and Yugi quickly jumps to the side when Atem is running behind his son with a happy smile on his face. When he grabs the little boy, he starts to tickle Heba who laughs and giggles and tries to squirm himself from his papa’s grasp. “Papa, stop…. Ima… big boy!” the little boy cries out loudly to which Atem retreats.“Alright Heba, it’s hard to believe you are only having diapers at night.” Atem says with a smile and then spots Yugi who looks at the little family moment. “Hey Yugi, you made it.” Atem says and Heba who managed to wiggle himself free tackles Yugi into a hug to which Yugi of course gladly complies to.“Uncle Yugi!” the little boy cries out in pure joy, it’s obvious him coming over was a big surprise. Yugi picks the boy up and nuzzles the little once hair. “Uncle Yugi, bring swim trunks?” he asks, and Yugi looks shocked towards Atem, who is face palming.“I knew I had forgotten something….” He mutters. “Hey Heba, Yugi is so small, do you think he can fit in your trunks?” Atem teases and already ranking his brain to where his own spare trunks could possibly be.“No Papa, Uncle Yugi rip it.” The boy giggles while he sits on Yugi’s hip.Yugi who by now is used to the sometimes harsh but meaningless comments coming from the little boy simply starts to tickle him. “Oh, so you think I’m fat huh?” he says with obvious joy in his voice. He feels the little boy laughing and squirming, but then he also feels the side of his shirt and pants is getting wet.Poor Heba shocked by the fact he accidently peed over his favourite new uncle and possibly daddy sees that change blown away now, he starts to cry loudly but also confused to why Yugi does not drop him down. No, the man presses Heba closer to him placing his little head against his chest and whispers soothing words of comfort in the little boy his ear.Atem who saw it happening guides Yugi inside towards the bathroom, he allows Yugi to take care of his son while he goes for a search to the swim trunks and making sure Anzu will wash Yugi’s clothes before going home.Yugi sits Heba gently on the floor, cubbing his hand under the little boy’s chin and gently forces him to look at him. “Don’t cry Heba, hey it’s my fault, I heard you say to your papa you were a big boy, and still I tickled you.” Yugi says. “I’m not mad, and I’m not leaving you behind only because you still need to learn how you can control it, accidents like these are bound to happen.” he says sweetly, taking Heba’s shirt off.“But you not papa, and, and, and, clothes.” The little one cries.“No, I’m not your papa, but tell you a secret? Sometimes when I help my grandpa in the store, and a boy or girl wants a certain toy from the shelve they cannot reach, I help them by lifting them up, and they sometimes also pee their pants and it falls over me. I don’t get mad over it, I simply shower, change in new clothes and wash the dirty once. When you are learning this, it’s bound to happen.” He explains gently.“You know, A few years ago, I had surgery and afterwards I needed to pee badly, but because I was so tired, I could not wake up properly to go to the bathroom and the button I needed to press to help me didn’t work, I ended up peeing the bed. My grandpa, mommy and the nurses were not mad at me because they knew I wasn’t awake enough by then.” He says removing Heba’s shoes and socks.“So, peed bed like Heba diaper?” Heba asks Yugi with childish wonder.“Yep, and do you know what my mommy, grandpa and the nurses told me when I decided to really wake up?”“No, but I am curious about that one.” Atem chuckles and entering the bathroom with his son’s and a trunk for Yugi, he himself dressed when he was in his room. he sees Yugi is working to take the pants from Heba down when he stops and wants to stand. “Go on, I won’t sue you for helping a child.” Atem says remembering when Yugi told him his grandfather got sued once for helping a child to find the toilet, not even staying behind while the child used the toilet. Luckily Yugi’s mom was there who told the lawyers grandpa never would allow himself entry into the bathroom when a stranger or when she or Yugi is inside.Yugi thankful that Atem trusts him this well tugs the wet jeans and boxer down. “Well… um… when I woke up, they told me because I peed the bed, it did not give me a free card to do it every night.” Yugi says with a blush and a stutter, it’s easier talking about it when it was just the little guy. “And because you are still learning, I try to think about it more from now on when I tickle you, but also for you, it’s not a free card to do it willingly.” He says giving Heba a hug and a kiss on his head.Atem hands Yugi the trunks from Heba and looks how he helps the little one in it. “I asked Anzu if she can wash those for you, they will be clean and dry by the time you go home this evening. Just leave them in the hamper with Heba’s wet clothes and you’ll be fine.” Atem says, taking Heba and walking outside to give Yugi some privacy.When Atem has closed the door Yugi releases a deep sigh. “Damn, does he need to be a sex god in everything he wears? No wonder he had an A on P.E. he must be raining allot to keep that body.” Yugi says while starting to undress himself, not realising Atem could hear that remark and is grinning like the Cheshire cat.Yugi steps outside and spots the man and boy waiting for him. “Yugi when was your last feeding?” Atem asks when he realises Yugi does not have the feeding bag with him.“This morning, I speeded up the process till 1PM. I didn’t want to bother with it this evening.” Yugi says boldly.“And you have with you?”“Yup, when you were tickling Heba, Anzu took my supplies. I told grandpa I didn’t want to hold a close watch to the time while having fun.” He says.“So, if you fall asleep here this evening, simply let you sleep? Got it.” Atem says with a happy smile.The three men enter the pool area and Atem walks to a small shed where he takes out Heba’s safety vest who starts to dress himself in it, and while picking out pool toys. Yugi is delighted to see the pool, forgetting all his politeness he takes a sprint and with a loud and delighted “Cannonball!” He drops into the water splashing both Heba and Atem in the process.“That was fun!” Heba shouts and tries to follow Yugi’s way of jumping inside the water. Yugi makes sure he looks to where Heba jumps and is there to catch him while Atem looks from the side-line. He is happy Yugi managed to open-up towards Heba about his own accidents, managing to calm Heba down, and understanding the kid is still learning to become potty trained. But he wonders why Yugi had that accident and nurses were around?He sees how carefully Yugi watches Heba when the little one climbs out the water and jumps in for another cannonball and being caught by Yugi. He feels he can relax and sits himself down on a chair not seeing the two boys in the pool are mischievously whispering with each other.Atem isn’t really a swimmer, he is more an enjoyer of the sunbathing, so when he hears no more splashes, he looks towards the pool closely scanning it and realising the two boys left the pool. Where are they? He thinks worried and stands to look better out for them.Mana just walks in, this evening her week with Heba starts and Atem invited her also for dinner, she sees the two mischievous boys sneak on behind Atem who is slightly panicking. Knowing first-hand how Atem always manages to drag a possible attacker with him into the pool she grabs Heba just when Yugi takes a sprint. Atem who hears the footsteps turns around and sees the danger coming towards him.Seeing Heba is with his mother, he prepares for impact, because there is no way he can dodge Yugi now, Yugi calculated the fact he can push Atem in without falling behind his victim, but he didn’t count on the fact when he collided with Atem, the elder would grab him and pull him along.When they surface, Yugi jumps on top of Atem and dunks the elder under, and a water fight breaks free. Mana is having trouble with holding her son who wants to join in but with the fierceness of the fight, she waits until the two men tire themselves out. After five minutes she lets go of Heba who jumps in between the two panting and laughing men.Because they tired themselves, they can dunk Heba and allow him to dunk them under safely and splashing water to each other. And Mana sees it safe for her to join them in the pool. Then the little boy throws his arms around Yugi. “Uncle Yugi? When you new daddy?” he asks with his most innocent voice.Yugi is stumped, his face turned so red both Atem and Mana fearing he would get a nosebleed. Atem quickly grabs Heba and hands him to Mana. Yugi who took that opportunity swam to the deep side of the pool and nearly smacked himself for being this damn shy. Atem follows him and being careful not to spook his Little One, slowly closes in on Yugi. “Please leave me alone, I need a moment.” Yugi begs but Atem refuses.“No, I won’t leave you alone, and you know why? Because I’m confused Yugi.” He says. “I’m confused and don’t know how to fix it. So please help me out.” Atem says.“Then… Then what is it that makes you confused, tell me and maybe I can help you with it?” Yugi says remembering that same line Atem told him during his job interview making Atem smile sadly.“Why are you denying the obvious?”“What do you mean?”“Ryou told me you sleep not well, according to him a ‘sex god’ is pestering you in your dreams? It tells me you are madly in love with this person, so why not approach him and simply ask him to become your boyfriend? And don’t you dare put it on work related shit, because you know relationships on the work floor are not a secret and are not looked upon to, you know my company involves around family, and you know I hope one day Heba will take over that company with the same effort I have putt into it.”“Because I don’t know how… I had one relationship and that lasted a month, I’m scared I get rejected by them because I’m way out of their league.” Yugi whispers.“Then what is his league according to you Yugi, because although some of us are highly qualified in schooling you are being one of them, in my company everybody is equal.” Atem whispers back.“It’s not just schooling, they are… mmm… like a spice that is rare to have in your kitchen cabinet, and to have that spice you need to be rich and know how to mix with the other ingredients, something I’m not capable of.”“Yugi, you are rich enough to buy the game-shop and house from your grandfathers’ landlord, you told me yourself one payment is enough to cover that. And I’m sure you have enough to at least buy your own mansion with what you earn in my company, and then you also are able to pay for it’s needs. Also, I’m pretty sure that spice as you call that sexy god of you adores the way you think, look, and are.”“But what about his child?” Yugi asks and then realises he told his secret.Atem smiles. “Yugi, I’m sure that child adores you just as much as this man does.” Atem says hoping Yugi allows himself to tell who he means. “Who is that rare spice that according to you can’t be mixed with your sweetness?”“You are.” The younger whispers, “but what about Heba?”“Little One, you take the time to play with him, even if it was your intention to visit me on my sick bed, in your opinion that child was more important than me dying a tragically death that day. I saw the terror in his eyes when he accidently peed over you earlier. He looked like that one time a girlfriend from Mana dropped him down and ran away screaming and yelling what a horrible dirty little boy he was, he was confused that you gave him comfort and even intrusted him in a secret I would never tell him if it had occurred. That was a very brave move of you to calm him down.”“Drama queen.” Yugi mocks him a little bit.“Hey, you also can be one when you are sick, I saw how you acted all high and mighty like my ancestor Pharaoh Atemu ordering your grandfather around a few months ago when you had that fever. It still beats me how you never spoke Egyptian before, and when you are sick and delusional, speak like that…. But what I’m trying to say is Yugi, not only Heba sees you as a part of his life. I also wish for you to be a part of our life.”“But what if we don’t click? What if we end like my parents?”“Because I know we will not end like your parents, first of all because we both are men and by knowledge I’m not a hydrophyte and from my understanding neither are you. Second, your father was a fool for not using protection when he had sex with your mother, and your mother was a fool for letting her talk into this act of deed at this young age, but that act of deed did bring you into our life, and for that I will always be grateful to them. And like your mother probably told you a thousand times, from all the mistakes she made, you were her favourite mistake.” Atem says taking Yugi in his arms and pressing the younger close to him. “Also, you deserve to be happy Little One.” Atem says while slowly bringing his lips closer towards Yugi.However, before Atem can kiss him, Yugi already pushed himself in a way his lips find Atem first… being mindful a child is around they try their hardest not to start a make-out session but enjoy the small kisses on each other’s lips. When they retreat from kissing Yugi closes himself against Atem, and the elder closes him against him. “Just so you know, the only thing Ryou does not know about me, is the code to my bank account.” Yugi whispers enjoying the warmth of his counterpart, from the one he can call his boyfriend now.“Same here with Mana.” Atem whispers back secretly hoping Yugi falls asleep before he needs to return home, he wants to see if the younger fits in bed the same way he fits now in his arms. just like a puzzle. “Let’s go back, and tell Heba, he will see you more now, but he still needs to call you uncle for a little bit more.” Atem whispers and Yugi nods. “At least until you are ready for it.”Yugi nods to that. “Atem? Since I’m also new in this dating thing, can we take it slow?”“We can, and we will, tell me when and we take the next step together.” The elder says nuzzling Yugi a little bit longer.They climb out the pool and follow their noses, it’s obvious Tristan, Anzu’s husband has lid the BBQ. Hand in hand they join the already eating people seeing Mana, Ryou and Heba smile widely. They eat laugh talk and simply having fun together. and before they know it, it’s time for Mana and a sleeping Heba to leave.Ryou, Atem, and Yugi sit themselves down in the pool and talk a bit more till Atem sees Yugi is exhausted, and he does not think it’s that strange, the young man had a long time not this much fun. “Come, time for bed, I won’t let you drive now so you stay here for the night.” Atem says and bidding Ryou good night and help Yugi towards his bedroom. Yugi shortly went to the bathroom to dress himself in his boxer and when he returned Atem also had changed himself.The elder sees Yugi is beyond exhausted he trips over his own feet and Atem catches the younger before he goes face down to the floor and they can make a trip to the hospital. He lays Yugi in bed who steals Atem’s pillow and curls himself around it before falling asleep.Atem chuckles lays himself in bed, he manages to steal his pillow back, he feels so happy and although he was worried about the age gap of five years and Yugi would fall over that little fact, he is happy he can call his little one his now. Content he falls asleep only to wake an hour later because Yugi is moaning loudly and breathing heavy.Atem lays his hand on the youngers back to sooth him in his restless dream making Yugi turn around and press himself against Atem. Obvious poking and sticky goo coming from down south he realises the younger has a wet dream. “It’s okay Little One, let it out, when you wake, you will feel a lot better.” The elder whispers allowing the younger to grind against him.Atem wishes to help him, but goes against it, he knows Yugi needs patients and soothing words now more than the touch...
Flashback ends:
“You’re a beast Yugi, I was wondering if that is the reason Ryou asked for a room at the other side of the mansion.” Atem smirks when he feels Yugi pulling out also feeling the semen drip out of him, he turns around and pulls Yugi closer “But you are my beast.” He whispers before helping to clean up the mess they made.Over the past year, Yugi and he went on dates, be it with or without Heba, after that one day in the pool there was not a single weekend the two weren’t together. Heba started to ignore the request of calling Yugi uncle only after they were together two weeks and started to call him daddy. Atem is now trying to convince Yugi to move in with them. But Yugi holds still holds that idea back.“I’m so glad Ryou forced us to do this but does it really have to happen in your office?” The younger snickers with a blush.“Hey mister, you need to travel to America tomorrow to advertise on your system, you are the one forcing me to handwork for a month.”“You wanted me to promote the system outside of Japan.” Yugi shoots back at Atem leaving the other stumped while returning to his own work and final preparation and missing Atem and Heba for a month.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter 8: I want you to have it.
Three weeks of having a relationship with Atem doesn’t make some things not exactly easy on him especially during the night, so feeling uncomfortable he asks Ryou one evening to visit him while his grandfather went out to play cards with friends. “What’s wrong Yugi? Is there something in your relationship going on?” Ryou asks as soon as he enters the game-shop. He noticed the strain all this stress is putting up to not only Yugi, but also Atem.“Something like that.” the almost 22-year-old says after he has closed and locked the door and then guiding Ryou to his bedroom and closing his bedroom door shut.“Oh my, Yugi, when was the last time you opened the window?" Ryou says when he smells the semen and stale air hanging in the room, he feels the tears jumping in his eyes by the lack of fresh air. And with him being single right now, he cannot deny the turn on the smell of semen creates to him.But his slightly paranoid friend hushes him listening closely if someone heard him. Ryou who sees Yugi is completely losing it, ignores his friend and goes to open the window and the door. “What are you doing?” Yugi asks shocked with a hissing voice.“I’m doing you a favour, Yugi your room stinks to weeks if not months old sex, fresh sex, and if I didn't mention it before. Like sex, that’s not healthy to sleep in day in day out.... and please nobody can hear us talking here, in case you didn’t notice, your room basically is on the attic, and to reach this window you need a ladder that you can hear while placed at the window.“I’m losing myself huh?”“Obviously.” The white-haired male says when he pried open the window and allowing fresh air to come inside. “Now tell me why you are losing yourself?” Ryou asks and sits himself on the bed.“Because of this Ryou! Every night, every damn night Atem is haunting me in my dreams, you said it would be three times, but since Atem and I are together I wake at least five times with a boner and the seed dripping out!” Yugi spats out desperately. “I even have wet dreams when I’m staying over at his, it’s embarrassing when I wake up grinding against him and seeing him looking with dark lustful eyes and I’m to afraid to let him help me.”Ryou who listened to Yugi sees the problem, jumps up and stops the younger his rant. “Yugi, listen to me, first of all I did not say how many times you would have a wet dream I said they will be a pain, and they will be staying a pain if you do not masturbate! You still don’t touch yourself?”“No.” the younger says while shaking his head.“And you always dream about Atem?”“It feels they are worse when I’m there.”“Then why not try with him?” Ryou states bluntly. “You are horny over the guy since you met him little under a year ago, and although it’s three weeks the two of you officially got together… but Yugi, I strongly believe you trust the man more than you trust me. And for a good night of sleep, I strongly believe it’s the best time now to lose your virginity.”“But what if I’m not ready for it?”“Yugi, have you even smelled your room!? man with how many nights you are cumming, like I said, it stinks. Like sex! It stinks so badly it’s making me willing to bend you over and pounce you senseless till you scream my name into heaven, hell and all in between! Hell if you are not ready then I am truly at loss over here”“But what if the people outside smell it? And hear me?” he asks timidly not ever hearing his friend talk this vulgar before.“Let them! Yugi you’re a fucking god-damn grown man! and I’m pretty sure the people aren’t dumb enough to know what a... person does at your age. It’s normal for people to not brag over it... Well Honda and Joey are an exception on that rule, but even those grown men open the window every morning to let fresh air in, they don’t keep it close and let the air turn stale and hot and bothered. Man with the air hanging here, I believe you need to vent for at least a week to get it out! No wonder you have this many wet dreams it frustrates even me right now!” The white-haired male shouts and walks towards the bathroom. With a slam the door closes and not soon after Yugi hears Ryou moaning loudly.After a few more loud moans Ryou finally returns, his face flushed but clearly allot happier and satisfied. “It’s Mana’s week, right?” he asks and Yugi nods knowing he means with having Heba. “Let’s go.” He simply says and pulls Yugi’s arm.“Where we going?”“To the one place that can help you with your problem, now come before I need to release myself again and this time, I won’t use the toilet!”“But it’s a work night.”“Atem will understand. Come.”“But I need to fetch grandpa in a bit.”“I’ll take care of grandpa, he’s at Arthur’s?” He says and after a nod taking his phone and talking quickly with the person at the other side before sliding it back in his pants. “Taken care off, grandpa stays at Arthur’s for the night, you have no more excuses left, now come!”Yugi sees he has no way of denying his white-haired friend and follows towards the elder male’s car, they get in and Ryou speeds off. When Yugi realises Ryou is driving towards Sennen mansion he feels himself getting uncomfortable, but Ryou obviously is not in the mood to get backtalk from him. Nope he drives into the garage and gets out. He does not give Yugi the chance to get out himself because he already is roughly pulled out by the scruff of his t-shirt.Ryou guides Yugi to the wing Atem, Heba and Ryou have a room and knocks loudly on the elder man’s door. A sleepy Atem opens the door and Yugi is pushed roughly towards him. “Fix him before I do it myself, gods how can someone wait for so long! He obviously isn’t willing to fix himself, so you need to do it!” Ryou hisses, turns on his heel and walks away slamming the door to his room shut.Yugi is shocked that his best friend is this angry at him this sudden, and Atem looks like he is obviously confused. “What was that about?” Atem asks his boyfriend while pulling the shocked younger inside his room and towards the bed.“I don’t know, we were talking and suddenly he gets all mad and drags me towards here.” Yugi says in the hope Atem does not catch the little lie. “Sigh, can I stay here tonight? he dragged me to his car, I can’t drive his or yours since mine is automat.”“Yeah, sure you can stay, come on little one, we have work tomorrow.” Atem says handing Yugi a PJ pants and crawling in bed, holding up the blanket while he sees Yugi redressing himself, the younger crawls next to Atem and makes himself comfortable.A last goodnight kiss and yawn make the elder fall asleep quickly, but Yugi is still wide awake and revisiting the conversation he had with the white-haired male before he turned angry and dragged him off. “I’ll talk with him tomorrow.” the young man whispers before snuggling up against Atem and falling asleep.Yugi wakes in the middle of the night, his dream was too lively to simply ignore it. His little Yugi is painfully hard, would it be nice not to have a cold shower for once? and simply fall asleep when I took care of the problem? he wonders himself and then takes a decision. “Atem?” he whispers but a soft snore is his only response, if his need to release wasn’t this high he probably would find it amusing. “Atem.” he says with a bit more volume. Still no response. “Atem Please! I need you.” The younger begs while pushing the shoulder of the elder and Atem stirs to life.“You had a nightmare?” Atem asks softly since he knows Yugi still has them.“No, but I need you.” The younger begs.“Yugi what’s going on that cannot wait until tomorrow?........ oh… you sure about this?” Atem asks but is taken aback when Yugi takes his hand and guides it towards the painfully throbbing penis.“This is what Ryou was agitated about earlier.” The younger sniffs. “Please Atem, it hurts, I can’t take it anymore.” The younger cries out softly.
Warning Lemony stuff going one. If you are not comfortable with two males having sexual intercourse I suggest you skip this section or stop reading now, and wait for the next update. Also in this section will be mentioned what Yugi’s surgery was about when he was 14....
Atem understands now, he clicks on the light on his nightstand. “Lay down on your back.” The elder whispers and standing from the bed, Yugi looks how Atem opens his sock draw and pulls out a hanky, then the elder walks to the door, opens it and ties the hanky around the doorknob. Then he goes to the bathroom and returns not much later with a small bottle.“I hope you don’t mind, but I’m allergic to latex, the condoms suitable for my size are made from latex. I’m clean and healthy though, when I end and even when I start a new relationship, I let myself test to that.”“But I didn’t let myself test.”“And you are still a virgin am I right?”“Y…yes.”“Then I’m willing to take the risk.” The elder says softly crawling on the bed and pushing the younger down. “And since this will be your first time, you are off tomorrow.” he whispers with a sultry voice Yugi never heard the elder use before.The younger starts push down his pants, but Atem stops him. “Don’t, I like it when I can undress you. Let me do the work tonight Little One. Just relax, enjoy, and let me take care of you.” The elder commands him sweetly.“Please be gentle?” the younger begs and Atem nods before he closes in on Yugi softly kissing him and calming him down, gentle strokes over the youngers body he tries to find the sensitive spots. He already found the nipples during his soothing quest, and he knows about two down there, but those aren’t his target yet, first he needs to calm the younger and make him relax.With his hands he gently lifts Yugi’s head back and kisses his neck, a gasp makes him realise this also is a very sensitive area, and he goes over it with feather soft brushes of his lips and sometimes his tongue to taste him. He tastes the salt from the youngers sweat, but also the sweetness that the boy tastes naturally are driving him insane. Slowly he goes from the neck area to explore closer to the ear, mindful Yugi has the tube in his left nostril this time, he takes the right side of his face, in a week he can happily explore the left side since the younger switches each month from the left to the right side. But mostly since Yugi won the bet the three made and almost 10 months are up, next week Yugi finally is off the feeding tube.When Atem is just under the youngers ear close to the lob, he gets a moan in response. A smirk leaves Atem’s face and he tries again this time with a bit more force he gently sucks at that spot. “Haah Atem!” the younger moans loudly.“What’s wrong baby?”“I….i….” Yugi chokes out.“Let it out baby, don’t hold anything back and don’t regret what happened while doing so.” The elder whispers placing his leg so he can feel the throbbing penis better and continues his quest to find more places he will let the younger react like this. softly he nibbles the lob of the youngers ear and feels the precum leaking through the pj pants. Is he really this shy he does not help himself? he thinks to himself and tries his luck. With gentle strokes he allows his hands to wander towards the limp that is giving Yugi trouble since they met the first time.His eyes widen when he feels how hard the limb is throbbing and realises Yugi needs his fix now, he must not wait much longer before the younger will start to cry out of pure frustration.He slips his hand inside the pants and when Yugi feels his manhood in the hand of the elder, he gasps. And feels the semen already going out. “Never touched yourself huh?” the elder says gently.“I’m sorry.” The younger whispers. “It never felt right to me.”“Well, that explains the intensity of your wet dreams, and the reaction you are having right now. Don’t worry, after tonight you feel much better.” Atem promises and starts to lower the youngers pants. “But I must also tell you Little One, you probably already noticed it by Heba, but I also am circumcised.”“That’s okay, it’s a part of your religion, right?” the younger says his arms next to his head hands folded into fists, the way Yugi looks makes Atem only think the boy looks absolutely adorable.”When the elder pulls down Yugi’s pants he is shocked to see. “When?” he asks.“Remember when I told Heba about my bed wetting accident? It happened more than one time and I was always hurting when I needed to go, I never could pull the skin back right, so mom often took me to the doctor, and he simply gave me a salve. But when that didn’t work, I asked mom to ask for a surgery because I didn’t like it all the time the doctor looked at my manhood and giving me the idea, he wanted to suck me. We looked it up and mom prepared me as soon as we got permission from the doctor. I was 14, close to 15 when it happened.” Yugi explains with a blush.“Did you have traumatic experience from it?” Atem asks while undressing himself.“Slightly, like I said mom prepared me and we looked closely into it, also the fact I was placed under full narcotics probably helped me allot to calm me down. But your mom figured in a way it still gave me a slight trauma.”“By Ra, and then a year later shit happens to you. And your wet dreams? When did they start?” Atem whispers softly and hears Yugi gasp when he puts a finger inside.“nnggg, she was worried... since I didn’t had a wet dream yet, gr... grandpa thought it ha...aaa..n aad to do with the fact I wassss hurting so much...After surgery I.... waited patiently and h...hoped nnngggg they would come… it ha...happened after mmm our job interview aaah.” Atem enjoys how he can distract Yugi easily by asking him things but also secretly preparing him. By the time Yugi is wide enough he lays Yugi’s legs over his shoulders and positioned himself.“I’m going to be honest with you, relax as much as possible, only then the pain will be pleasant sooner.” The elder says and lubes his manhood. “Ready Little One?” He asks and sees Yugi nodding with a firm blush.“Please be gentle?” he again asks softly when he feels the tip from Atem pressing at his entrance.A gentle nod from Atem relaxes Yugi and Atem starts to gently push his manhood in, he sees how Yugi is squeezing his hands into the blankets forcing the pain to his hands while he tries to relax his entrance. Oh man, how big is he, does it all fit inside me? Yugi silently wonders. But then Atem is fully seated and waits until Yugi will give the go.To relax his Little One, he bends forwards and kisses Yugi as to distract him from the pain. When the pain indeed begins to feel pleasurable Yugi instinctively rolls his hips making Atem grunt from the impact.Atem knowing Yugi still is a virgin, slowly starts to pull out leaving only the tip in before carefully push back in.After a few trusts, Yugi starts demanding a faster pace, and with that pace, Atem also finds that bundle making Yugi scream in pure delight.Outside the bedroom, Ryou who just drank a calming cup of tea... walks by the room he practically pushed Yugi in, he hears the delightful scream from Yugi, and one look at the doorknob tells him Yugi probably will not show up at work tomorrow. With a smile he goes to bed hoping Yugi will sleep much better now. But the knowledge he also created a sex beast, asking for a room at the other side of the mansion within a month... well that he will figure out real soon.A few more trusts and Atem sees Yugi’s manhood are building up. He knows his baby is un-experienced, he knows first time always is fast, and he knows the more often they will do this, Yugi’s stamina will build up easily.And indeed, all too soon, Yugi can’t hold himself anymore, he semen spits over both men’s stomachs, and with him cumming, Atem feels the walls closing in on him and he also cums loudly allowing his semen to fill Yugi up.Panting hard, Atem pulls himself out of Yugi, he then kisses the exhausted man before pulling away and walks to the bathroom. When returning he has a cloth in his hand and gently cleans the already sleeping male in his bed. Then he crawls next to Yugi and allows sleep to take him over......
Thirza-1984:
The door from the Mansion slams close, there was a short power cut, and the system didn’t start as it should have. Atem could not get a hold of Yugi that whole day since the phone was constantly taken.Poor Yugi had pain in his back when waking up but remembering what happened the night before, he was glad Ryou forced him into this.However, from resting came not much, all the companies who rented his system called to fix the problem, and when he had helped one person fix the system, the second was calling already for the same problem.To say both men were happy was a strong understatement. They both were cranky and irritated, and Yugi also was very sore from the night before. Atem brought him home silently and gave Yugi also the following day off to where the man took his rest.Luckily, as predicted, Ryou’s team was eager to learn how to fix the program, and they started the training shortly before Yugi would go to the clinic and graduated shortly after this mess, making the team now under Yugi’s employment with Ryou as his team manager.
Thirza-1984:
While the two tricoloured men are preparing to go to bed, they suddenly hear a knock on the door. They look towards each other and hiding their manhood Atem goes to the door and opens it. Ryou steps inside. “Hey Ryou, what’s up?” Yugi asks trying to hide the fact the lovers wanted to do more than just simply sleep.The white-haired male sits himself down on the bed and waits till Atem has joined them. “Well. I was hoping on a quiet night if that was possible.” He says. “No offence, I am happy you finally lost your virginity, but Yugi, you are loud, you two have no possible idea how many times I wished I had a sound barrier to lock you two out. Please I have an assignment I need to finish tomorrow but can’t do it when you two are at it like rabbits.” He says and sees both the pale as the Sunkissed men turn into a brilliant shade of red.Atem quickly to recover clears his throat. “And how do you suggest we prevent what happened only a month ago?”“If you keep it to yourself tonight, I saw an open room at the other side of the mansion, as soon as I finished that assignment, I move to there, and you can act the way you wish to act?” Ryou suggests.The two men look towards each other and then Atem stands up walks to the door and opens it. “You work on that project tomorrow; I will make sure by the time you come home the maids have moved your stuff to that room at the other side of the mansion. Good night.” He says and gently pushes Ryou out and closing the door.Yugi looks at Atem, Atem looks at Yugi, a snicker escapes Yugi’s mouth and end in a full-blown laughter from both men. Atem drops himself on the bed and Yugi pulls the blanket over them both. “Am I really that loud?” Yugi asks when his laughter sustained a bit.“Yes, but I didn’t know it would reach his room. I hope Heba doesn’t hear us when we are acting like ‘rabbits.’ Atem says quoting the rabbits with his fingers, and the two burst out in laughter again.“Now what? I still have a hard one.” Yugi complains and Atem looks up with mischief.“What is the strangest place you ever wish to do it?” he asks mischievous.“hmmm we already had your office, ooh how about your Lamborghini? Or the pool? Ummm.”“Why my car?”“Because my Fort is my baby. Only fit for the KOG.”“I swear if that car ever breaks down, I’m going to use special paint so it will never rust, place it in the garden and we will have sex in it!” the elder says laughing while dragging Yugi towards the garage, he opens the doors of the Lamborghini, and they enjoy hours of hot sex there.Next day Atem took Yugi’s car to work with an amused Ryou on the back seat. And as promised, Ryou got his room that very evening.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter 9: Sudden move.
It’s the middle of the night when Yugi’s phone starts to ring, it’s storming for the past few days and the company is closed for the time being since it’s too dangerous for the workers to come and go safe. During those days grandpa also closed the shop and Yugi, and he were working hard to get the merchandise safe and secure towards the living part of the building. During those days Yugi didn’t see Atem, calling and texting was out of the question since the power had fall off the night the storm broke free.Yugi told grandpa to make sure they could still call, Yugi had switched his phone off, they will use grandpa’s now until it dies down and then he will switch on his, in case of emergency he made sure Atem knows which number he can reach out to. After a day and a half grandpa’s phone died, so with his luckily still fully charged phone he sends Atem a text he was only reachable on his phone.So, when the phone starts to ring during the night, Yugi knows it’s serious and with a sleepy but alert “Hello” he picks up.Only to hear his boyfriend say. “I’m on my way to get you two, grab only the necessary’s there is a hurricane on its way, and your neighbourhood is on its path, they are evacuating now!” before the phone from Yugi dies out completely.Awake completely right away he jumps out of bed and starts dressing himself in some clothes. Then he ran to his grandfather’s bedroom to wake the old man. “Grandpa wake up! Wake up!” Yugi shouts, and pulls at the elder man’s arm, thank God the old man wakes from the ruckus his grandson is making. “Grab your stuff, Atem is here in about ten minutes we need to flee.” The 23-year-old says towards his grandfather taking out and throwing stuff into a suitcase. “There is a hurricane on its way and they are evacuating this side of town.” He explains, and after hearing this, his grandfather starts to pack right away.“Here I need to pack my own things, you get the things from the safe, and take only what is irreplaceable like pictures. Leave the merchandise, we can cover that from insurance, I’m afraid we will never see this place again.” The younger explains and starts to run to his own room, taking his own suitcase and throwing in clothes while the tears stream down his cheeks. The place he knows since he was a baby probably will not survive the hurricane. And although Atem and Yugi already were talking of him moving towards the Sennen mansion, he didn’t realise it would happen this fast.He grabs a box and takes his three beloved plushies throwing them in, the box with the car he got for his 16th birthday, his box with duel monsters’ cards and some other games he knows are irreplaceable and Atem has not in his gaming cabinet. Lastly, he takes the pictures from the cabinets. Them safely secured in the box he sees his grandfather walk inside. “The safe is empty I also packed my pictures. Yugi where are we going if our house gets destroyed?” the elder says with tears in his own eyes. he was so happy when Yugi gave him the deed of the house and the store last year as a birthday gift, they finally could call it their home and now it would be in danger.“I’m sure Atem is okay with you also moving into the mansion grandpa, you won’t end up on the street or in a nursing home. I won’t let them, and you know why?” The young man whispers taking his grandfather in a comforting hug and sees the elder shaking his head, bringing his head closes to the elder. “Because you didn’t abandon mama when bastard took off and she needed to raise me alone while being a teen herself, you didn’t abandon me when mama passed away, you didn’t abandon me when I got sick. That’s why, and I would be a lousy grandson if I simply abandon you. You are coming with us and if Atem even thinks of sending you to a nursing home, he gets an very angry boyfriend on his neck.” He says with a determined voice when he hears the doorbell. He releases his grandfather and takes the suitcases with him downstairs. His grandfather following with the boxes filled with their important stuff.When Yugi opens the door there is a man from the army. “We are here to evacuate you all, please follow us sir.” The man says and just then Yugi sees Atem’s car driving into their street.“That won’t be necessary sir, my boyfriend is right over there to give my grandfather and I shelter at his place.” Yugi says with a confident voice.Atem sees Yugi is talking with the officer from the army, and instead of greeting his boyfriend, he takes the two suitcases and starts to place them in the car. then he takes the box to which grandpa placed the things form the safe and his important things in, he asks grandpa if there are more things that need to come along and grandpa nods handing him Yugi’s box. “This is the last, if Yugi still needed nutrition, then that stuff also, but...” The elder whispers still insecure.When everything is in the car, he helps grandpa inside the car and then waits till Yugi finishes the talk with the officer. Yugi jogs towards the car and takes place buckles up and Atem drives off. “What was that about?” Atem asks.“They wanted almost force me to leave grandpa with them, I needed to take responsibility for not going with them to a safe place, and I needed to give them the address were they could find us to update if we can return home.” Yugi says with a tired sigh.“Yugi.” They hear from the back seat.Atem who is worried, flashes briefly a look towards his boyfriend and asking him in silent. “He is worried you will send him to a nursing home.” Yugi explains him.Atem’s blood boils, he knows what the old man did for Yugi, and it’s that he is driving otherwise he would turn around to look the elder man in the face. “Never! Grandpa, I will not allow that! Even my father who I could not go along with I would not give that fate. Mom and I have prepared a room for you since when Yugi and I got together, for when you needed care and could not stay alone anymore.” Atem says with a no-nonsense voice Yugi heard only a few times during heated conversations and he needed to admit he had lost that battle.Grandpa’s shocked face turns into sad relief. “See I told you gramps. You’ll love it in the mansion, and Heba was asking me when I would bring his new great-grandpa with me one day, the kid already adores you even before he truly knows you.” Yugi says before looking towards the place he probably will never see again. “Goodbye.” He whispers and a tear falls down his cheek.“I’m glad you borrowed Mana the car when she needed with Heba to the hospital, your car is safe in my garage… Mana, Heba and her parents also are in the mansion, their neighbourhood evacuated yesterday.” Atem says softly because he knows how much Yugi loves his car, the man would be devastated if that will break down.“How is Heba, I wanted to ask you but that with the power down and not able to call.”“His tonsils are removed, he still has a slight fever, but he is recovering. Thanks, by the way, without you borrowing the car I would now know how to get Heba in the hospital on time, he was terrible when he got sick by those things, now he is bearable.”The day before the company closed Mana got a call from her mother, Heba was having a fever and the doctor made an emergency appointment to take out his tonsils. But like grandpa, her parents aren’t allowed to drive anymore. And Mana’s car was in the garage to fix an error, since she drives automat, she cannot drive Atem’s or Ryou’s car. Yugi who drives automat, offered Mana his car if Atem could bring him home. And she would return the car safely to the game-shop.Only by evening the weather suddenly changed, it rained heavy already, so Mana decided to take her son to Atem and leave Yugi’s car there where it was safe since that part would not suffer much during the storms.Yugi trusted his car would be okay and didn’t ask about it when Atem called him that evening, he only told the power fell off and he needed to spare the battery from his and grandpa’s phone for emergencies. Since he didn’t know when the power came back on.Those three days were hard, not only for Yugi, but also for Atem, the two men are so used to seeing each other daily, they don’t realise how much they grew depended on each other.Yes, the two have their arguments also during work, but before they go their separate ways at the end of the day, they talk things through or have hot sex on Atem’s desk. Mana knows by now, when the cameras in Atem’s office shut down and Yugi was called inside, she must not enter the office. She walked in on them one time, and although she only saw Atem’s ass, she learned from that.Also talking about relationships there is another one blooming in the mansion. With Ryou moving in there last year, Mana realised she fell different around the albino male, and when the albino confessed to her, he was Bi, but had dated only men in the past, the two became close real fast. They both deny hard, but both Atem and Yugi aren’t blind and only a few weeks ago, Yugi did the same thing towards Ryou as the latter did when he grew frustrated and drove Ryou towards Mana in the middle of the night.When returning Atem told him he had his fair argument with Mana and asked where he went to. Yugi told he brought Ryou to her and indeed, next day the two came to work holding hands.“Here we are, safe and sound.” Atem says when he drives his car into the garage. After they got out Yugi may be exhausted from the rough awakening, he still runs towards his car, checking out if it has any more scratches than before, but when he sees none, he is happy.Grandpa chuckles. “Atem, I swear, if that car ever dies, you need to make a memorial plate for it.” He says.“Nah, I spray her with special paint and place it in the garden in sight, it wonders me that he allows Heba close to the car every time he comes over.” The two chuckle and speak with each other.Joking about Yugi’s love for his first car is also a part of daily routine, and they are happy the younger can laugh about it, but when someone had made a scratch on the door by accident, Yugi was hellbent to find the one hurting his baby, when he found out Atem was guilty. The elder walked with tail between the legs for a week and needed to repair the scratch he had made.“Baby? Ready making love with the car?” Atem asks handing grandpa his box. Yugi looks up with a pout but then he feels the cold chill and exhaustion taking control, fast, he wants to go inside. He walks over to Atem and grandpa and takes the offered box from Atem with his important belongings. When inside Amara stands in her nightgown and takes the suitcase from grandpa leaving the two younger males to themselves. Atem and Yugi walk towards Atem’s bedroom.Careful Yugi sets the box down on a chair and then drops death on the bed, Atem helps him undressing and tugs his boyfriend in who already is fast asleep. He plugs in Yugi’s phone so it can finally charge. Atem softly leaves the room, he himself has to many energy left so he decides to look at the news downstairs.Although Yugi is off the nutrition’s for a while now, burdens like these, easily take double and sometimes triple energy from him. Atem talked with his mother over it, and she needs to remind him that Yugi had a heavy burden placed onto him, and because they didn’t listen to his wishes in the first place, Yugi needs to learn to take his rest when he feels the need to. It doesn’t always work out especially when working on a new project for his game, the younger man is as stubborn as Atem when it comes to taking a step down.With a sigh, and a cup of tea he sits himself in front of the TV, the Newscast is on, and he sees the hurricane wreak havoc over a big part of Japan. When he recognised the layouts, he gasps softly. I’m sorry Mana, I’m so sorry Yugi, grandpa.” And wipes away a tear that left his eye.“Papa?” he hears the little hoarse voice from his son.“What is it baby?” He asks pushing out the TV, standing and walking towards his still feverish son.“The thunder keeps me awake.” The little boy whispers and allows his papa to pick him up.“Then you may sleep with me and daddy tonight.” He says softly. “But you must be quiet because daddy is already sleeping.”“When daddy come?” he asks knowing Yugi not always spend the night with his father.“I went to get him and great grandpa not too long ago, it was getting to dangerous in his own house. Come on, time for bed.” Atem says walking with his son upstairs. Before heading to bed, he changes Heba in a clean diaper since during the night he is not full well potty trained yet, he hopes it happens soon though, since his son turns 5 in three months, but as his mother said, as soon as he realises how it works then he is ready for it.Walking in the bedroom he sees Yugi stole his pillow again, with a chuckle he takes his spare pillow. “He is making a habit of stealing my pillow every time.” He whispers in Heba’s ear while placing him in the middle of the bed and takes his clothes off before crawling on his side of the bed.“Daddy thinks you smell nice, and when he steals your pillow, he simply seeks for you to sniffle at.” The little boy says smartly while Atem pulls the blanket over the three of them“Heba promise me something?” He asks. “Please stay child for a little longer, you already are beyond your years, and you need to enjoy your childhood for as long as possible.” He says and starts to hum a lullaby to which Heba soon falls asleep.Feeling exhaustion finally take over, Atem also let’s himself drift off to nod, glad he could safe his beloved boyfriend, and the rest of his family.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter 10: Sequel.
After the hurricane had ransacked a big part of Japan, it was obvious Mana, her parents, Yugi, and grandpa had lost their home. And while Mana and her parents decided to rebuild their home and Ryou moving in with Mana after her house was ready to move in, Yugi and grandpa stayed at the mansion.Grandpa and Heba grew fond of each other and since Yugi and Atem already were talking for him to move into the mansion, Atem offered his grandfather also a permanent home to live in, an offer the old man needed to think over a few weeks and many arguments between him and Yugi followed before Heba decided to bug in and help his daddy out.It happened during dinner when Yugi asked his grandfather again if he had changed his mind “Yugi, I build a new house and store! And when it’s ready I will move in there! I stick to the plan!” the old man growls looking up from his plate.Atem heaves a sigh. “Here we go again.” He says in a whisper but is ignored by the two adults glaring at each other when suddenly.“Grandpa? Why are you and daddy always fighting? Did you do it before also?” he asked the old man in his most adorable little voice making the man melt on spot since it reminds him so much of when Yugi was that age.“No, your daddy and I didn’t fight as much as we do now, but because I don’t want to be a burden to your father Heba, I want to rebuild my own home and the store and live there.” The old man explains softly. Knowing full well Heba calls Yugi daddy since shortly after the two men started dating.Atem who sees Yugi wants to argue again stops him with a gesture of his hand, he leans over and whispers in Yugi’s ear. “I think Heba can pull this trough if we leave him now. Trust me.”“But grandpa! By the time you are ready building a home, you are too old to keep it going, why not staying with me?” the little one says smartly.Atem and Yugi snicker behind their hands and Atem bends towards Yugi whispering “I’m telling you that kid is way ahead of his years.” In his ear making Yugi nod in agreement.“And do what son, I’m not one to sit around and do nothing?” the old man asks him already melting for the pleading puppy eyes.“Tell me stories? Daddy told me you had many adventures when you were looking for dead people in Egypt that were far richer than we are now.” That did it, both Yugi and Atem saw the old man break under the demand of the almost 5-year-old and needed to hide the laughter behind their hands.“Pharaohs my boy.” The old man chuckles.“I always can use someone to teach him a thing or two about his heritage. And who better than you as being a retired archaeologist specialised in the Egyptian field you are?” Atem bugs in. making the old man melt more.The old man looks at Yugi, Yugi looks back with a gentle smile. “grandpa, you worked all your life, you kept working while you reached long ago the time to retire and enjoy it to see me grow in the man I am today, but then grandma passed and you stayed working to support mom and me, even when she had a job of her own, you kept working. When mom passed away, you needed to keep working in order to keep us alive since I wasn’t allowed to have a job yet and was still in school. It’s time for the kids to step in now.” He says with a loving care and respect Atem hopes he gets one day from Heba. The old man sniffles. “Grandpa, you never truly had the chance to be my real grandfather, you needed to be my father most of the times, please don’t do that to Heba?” Yugi says tears in his eyes making the dam break completely by the old man.“Fine, but I wish at least a lemonade stand in order to teach Heba public relationships just like I did with you when you were too young to be an employee.” The man demands with a watery voice and Atem need to laugh at that.“Maybe you can teach him by clearing out his room, seek a few toys each day Heba does no longer plays with, go for a walk together and sell the toys to different children?” Atem offers knowing with all the toys Heba has and the pile still growing, they need at least three years to clean out the first layer. “When you have sold the toys, you can put the money in his saving jar.”“Make a gaol together for what to save from the money you earn from selling your toys, it worked with me also remember. It also gives you a great opportunity to see your great grandson grow.” Yugi says clearly agreeing with the idea and then turns to Atem. “And no! this is not going to happen during a walk, grandpa had many times to deal with angry parents because he helped a child taking something from the shell when their parents weren’t around and didn’t understand grandpa never touched the kid in any kinda way, that was one of the reasons I place camera’s in each corner of the store.”“I agree with Yugi on this one, I think I can handle a small shed with an open window so the kids can look what Heba has, and point to the item they want.”but Yugi, do you still have?”“I do, I prepare it for him.”“So what do you say Heba? Let’s begin?” the old man says and they both walk off to Heba’s room and fix a plan together leaving Atem and Yugi alone.“Thank you for not allowing me to step in. Heba did a great job there.” he says while taking Atem’s hand gesturing to follow him.“How did it work for you?” Atem asks while the two older men walk to their bedroom.“What do you mean?” Yugi asks.“Saving by selling toys?”“As you know, we didn’t have much, but it was enough to keep us going without getting into trouble and live somewhat comfortable, mom told me that if I wanted something expensive, I needed to save for it. That’s when I came with the idea of selling the toys I didn’t play with anymore. Grandpa gave me my own corner in the store to sell my old toys, I could arrange it the way I wanted, grandpa gave me my own coloured price tags and he helped me decide the price to the item, he sold them for me when I was at school, he even went so far that I had my own register set up, when he saw it was a product from me by looking at the price tag he went to that register, the people knew that the second hand corner had a different register and when they wanted to buy something new and something old, they knew they needed to pay two times. At the end of the day we both counted that money, and placed the extra cash in my saving jar, after school, in the weekends and during the holidays I of course sold the things myself, the first thing I bought with that money and what I had saved up from my allowance was materials for the alarm system and camera’s.”“How old was you when you started selling your old toys?” Atem asks and sees Yugi walking to a draw he gave Yugi, he sees how the younger is rummaging through it.“Oof, I think I was around Heba’s age, maybe a bit younger, maybe a bit older I can’t remember when I asked mum and gramps to give my toys a second life. Each month I investigated my toys and games and figured which one I wanted to keep, or didn’t want anymore, when I grew older and toys didn’t belong with me anymore, I started to sell my old games. All that money went to fun things like going to the arcade, movies and such.”“When did you sell the last item?”“A few days before we needed to close shop because of the hurricane, it was a game I didn’t play anymore.”“You really still kept selling second-hand things? Even if you have a well-paying job? Why?”“Well, it’s true I didn’t need the money anymore, but I wanted somehow stay connected to my past, and when we became boyfriends, I realised that I needed something to give Heba a head start with for when he wanted to do the same as I did.” He says take the item he is looking for and walks to the bed. Atem sees it’s a small register “can you call them in for a moment?” Yugi asks and Atem walks out going to his son’s room while Yugi opens the register to count the money inside.When the three men return Yugi looks up and waves Heba over, when the boy sits next to the male, Yugi starts. “This was my own register given to me by grandpa when I started to sell my own toys, I used it for as long as I can remember, grandpa probably will be happy to explain you how he taught me to use it. But I’m happy to tell you that your starter in this one is 100 dollars. See it as my first gift to you as my future son, and promise me you will hand it to one of your own kids later to keep it in the family.”Heba says nothing, only looks at the small register. “What do you say Heba?” Atem asks his son.“Thank you.” He says gently and then gives Yugi the biggest hug he can muster.A small shed was bought and placed against the inside of the fence, when Heba felt for opening he could do it safely. He and grandpa turned the shed into a tiny shop with second-hand toys, and it even came so far that Heba bought toys from other kids and sold them with little profit. Grandpa couldn’t be prouder at his adopted great grandson.
Thirza-1984:
Yugi had a draw-back at age 24, only a year after they moved in permanently, he started to get severe stomach pains, and Atem needed to rush him to the hospital when Yugi got a fever and the pain was clearly getting to him, his appendix was infected and taken out, but the fear he would vomit and burst the wound in the process made Yugi scared again and he almost stopped eating.Atem realised soon Yugi was relapsing when he saw the fear in his boyfriends’ eyes while looking at the food on his plate, he called his mother right away. She monitored Yugi for a little while and then decided he needed to the clinic again. Again, with the guides from Amara, the nurses and other residents, it took Yugi six months to recover without interference of a feeding tube. And just like last time, Amara kept Atem informed over the process.And then he finally came home.First thing Atem did when Yugi got out the car, was going to one knee and asking the younger to marry him without a ring. It took Yugi back for a moment, but he gave a firm, “No! At least do it the proper way, like with a ring when you propose to me, and I don’t look like I drove the whole way all by myself. Also, a romantic setting will do as well.” He said before taking out his suitcase and walk inside the mansion to unpack leaving a baffled Atem behind.Grandpa agreed with his grandson, although they both are men, Yugi can be a hopeless romantics and enjoys affection and special attention, Yugi was in his full right to say no. When Atem called his mother and told her about what had aspired she also scolded the poor man. He didn’t dare to call Mana scared her fury would be much worse than just a scolding, it would involve ear pulling in a non to gentle way. He realised he needed to do this right.
Thirza-1984:
The car broke down at Yugi’s 25th birthday, and the damage that needed to be fixed was as much as a brand-new car. To prove his previous joke Atem ordered the car-shop to spray paint the car to protect it from all weather conditions, and to remove all dangers inside so a child could play in it safely. Yugi was allowed to find a nice spot in the lawn and as promised his pride found his permanent place on that spot.And a nice spot it is, they spent many evenings looking at the moon and stars on the hood of the car, and a few times had steamy sex into the car. And until today the car still looks perfectly fine.Atem tried his luck a few days after the car was brought home, they went to a romantic dinner to a restaurant specialised on Egypt themes, dinner was amazing and afterwards Atem spoiled him with the most expensive ice-cream the restaurant had to offer. It was beautifully built in the form of a frozen pyramid. To reach the chocolate layer you needed to scoop the ice away and then break it with the spoon to the hidden surprise.The surprise in this case being a little black velvet box. When Yugi saw it, he slapped his hand in front of his mouth and tears sprung into his eyes. Atem took the box and went on his knee again. And when Yugi saw the ring, this time he said yes. The guests around them started clapping their hands, but there was one couple who wanted to ruin their special night by ridicule them for being gay, but the troublemakers were escorted out quickly before Atem and Yugi even heard what had happened.At the end of the night Atem had taken Yugi to the beach and in a secluded area the two made love with each other in order to write off one of their “Where to have sex dreams” list. When they came home hours later, they were greeted with the elder man and a younger woman kissing each other. Yes, Amara and Solomon had found love into each other. When the two younger men were spotted under the sand and clothes clearly not the way as it was when they left. They demanded to know what happened.Yugi showed them his hand with the ring and said. “He proposed, and I said yes, now if you excuse me, I feel sand in places it does not belong, I’m taking a shower.” Taking Atem’s hand leaving the two elders behind with baffled looks.
Thirza-1984:
“Heba, Atem, Grandpa, Mom? Could you all come over for a moment? I’m in the diner!” Yugi calls the family together while setting the envelope on the table for a moment. Finally he has the agreement he is working on since he gave Atem blue balls when he rejected him the first time with his hastily proposal.The four he called over walk inside and take their usual place at the table, he sees the curious looks Atem is sending towards him and the envelope and when he wants to reach out, Yugi quickly snatches it away from him.Clearing his throat, Yugi looks around the table to his family. “Well, the reason why I called you all here is this… since Atem proposed properly this time I realised something, and I tried to figure out to make it possible to work it out… Heba, come here please?” he says holding his hand out for the child at the table.The little one walks to Yugi and the latter picks the little boy in his lap. “When I marry your father, I probably will not become your real daddy.” He says and when he sees Heba want’s to speak up he places a finger to the little ones mouth. “and although you see me as your real daddy, I wanted to make it in a way official. So I talked with your mommy and she agrees. You are already adopted by Ryou, but how about I adopt you also?”The little one takes a moment to process what daddy said to him “Soo, that means I have three real daddies, and one mommy?”“It means you have your mommy and papa to be you biological parents, but me and Ryou as your fathers on paper”Mischief starts to grow in the little kids eyes, a mischief grandpa remembers all too well from when Yugi was a child himself and he starts to snicker behind his hand before Heba pops the question. “Soo, with four parents that means I get two birthdays?”That statement made grandpa almost fall off the chair with how hard he cracked up. Amara Atem and Yugi having trouble to keep a straight face. Yugi slides Heba from his lap since he feels there is more to come, and Yugi isn’t one to stay seethed when he has a laughing fit. “What? What did I do?” Heba asks so incredibly innocent Yugi is glad he didn’t keep the child in his lap because within seconds he falls off the chair, clutching his stomach and trying his hardest to regain his composure. Only when he looks to Heba and his innocent confused little face, he cracks up again.Heba who doesn’t understand walks to his grandmother seeing she is the only one with a somewhat straight face and climbs in her lap. “Why are they laughing like that grandma?”“Grandpa and daddy remind themselves how daddy was when he was still a child. From what I have heard he had the same innocent mischief you often tend to have.” Amara explains to the child allowing the three men to regain their breath since Atem also cracked when he heard Heba asking that question.By the time the three adult men have regained their breath and managed to sit back at the table Atem gives a firm no to the boy, since he and Mana divorced on friendly terms the little boy would get like always one birthday. The boy is disappointed by this but he is happy to get another daddy.
Thirza-1984:
Knock, knock. Sounds on Yugi’s office door one day and Yugi looks up from the game seeing it’s Ryou. With a smile he opens the door and Ryou takes place in the offered chair.“Will you help me out Yugi?” Ryou asks obviously nervous about something. Mana disappeared not too long ago into Atem’s office when Ryou showed his face. Although Yugi is younger by a year and a half, Ryou has an amazing respect for both his boss and top boss. Or in proper wording, Yugi who is his boss, and Atem who is the top boss. Ryou also is one to wash the two men out when they don’t seem to come to an agreement. But now he seems so nervous Yugi fears something terrible has happened with his department.“What is it?” he asks with concern.“Mana went to the doctor the other day… and well…” the albino man responds and fiddles with an envelope he had taken out his jacked before he went to sit. He takes a few deep breaths and then slides the envelope towards Yugi.“What’s this?” the younger asks not yet willing to pick up the envelope.“It’s Mana’s results.” Ryou says getting more nervous by the second.“May I?” Yugi asks reaching out to the envelope but waits till he gets a respond from Ryou. It’s a nod. Yugi takes the envelope and opens it. He shakes out what’s inside and then looks at the square shaped card, he cannot clearly make out the shapes on the card, but his eyes grow wide when he reads what is written down neatly on the white downside of the card.
Uncle Yugi, will you be my godfather?
Tears appear in Yugi’s eyes, and he jumps over his desk directly into his best friend’s lap. “Yes of course, I’d love to be godfather, when will the baby come?” he asks rapidly almost choking himself while tripping over his tongue.“Mana is due in—”~Yugi and Ryou! My office right now! ~ an angry voice calls over the intercom.Both men gulp and knowing baby-boss is now in his mean-bossy-boss mood, the two don’t hesitate and practically run into Atem’s office. A tear-stained Mana sitting on his lap and Atem holding the same card Yugi was given. “I had hoped I finally found a man that was trustworthy, but instead I see an Uncle hugging his best friend in joy, and I need to cuddle with my own best friend to make up with it!” The man says sternly, but the look in his eyes makes the four start to laugh loudly.“Real impressive Atem.” Ryou chokes out between laughter. “Yugi, you need to teach him a poker face and look, maybe then he can pull through.”“Note… hahaha. noted. Hahaha.”The four laugh some more and when they finally have caught their breath Yugi tries again. “So, before bossy-boss interrupted, I believe you where in the process of telling me when the baby will come?”“Well, you two are to welcome this little surprise in four months.” Mana says with a smile.“So, a winter child.” Atem says caressing Mana’s stomach. “Then we need another invitation Yugi, because my godchild is not left out on our wedding.”“Um, make that two extra Atem, each of you gets one child.” Mana says clearly amused. She knows Atem can’t make heads nor tail out of those shapes on the card, he couldn’t when Heba was well on his way, and same count’s now. And although Yugi can make a great deal out of shapes and forms, she also can see the younger clearly also can’t see were the head from baby one and the head from baby two are.
Thirza-1984:
It’s the middle of the night when the phone rings, and with his sleepy voice Yugi picks up the phone. “Lo?” he says groggily.“Yugi, their here!” Ryou shouts.“That’s nice.” Yugi mumbles and cuddles himself back against Atem. But then snaps open his eyes. “Wait…” he whispers and processing that one little sentence Ryou shouted exited. “What did you say?” he asks and Ryou repeats what he shouted excitedly. “Oh my, yes, we come right away. Atem!” he says when he swiped the phone off, and he starts to shake his fiancé.“Atem, wake up lazy bones! They are here! We’re godfathers!” the younger shouts exited trying his hardest to wake the elder. But he does not stir. The younger pouts and then grins. “Fine if you want to play hard to wake, I give you a hard wake-up.” He says sneaks out the bed and walks to his son’s room. He walks inside and sees the little boy sprawled out on the bed.With a chuckle the young man crawls next to Heba and gently pokes the child. “Heba, your sisters are born, want to meet them?” he says gently and Heba snaps his eyes open.He sits up and then looks at the smiling Yugi. “My sisters?” he says still sleepy and Yugi nods. Suddenly like he had an huge amount of sugar, the boy jumps from his bed and starts to dress himself while shouting. “I’m a big brother!”“Yes, but… before we can see them, your father is a hard head again. Do you want to wake him after you are dressed?” Yugi says amused with an evil smile on his face. A smile Heba easily adopted from Yugi since the two were plotting to throw Atem in the pool. And Yugi loves him only more for it.The two sneak back to the room Atem is sound asleep in, and after a quick look Heba suddenly shouts. “Cannonball!” taking a dive and falling on top of Atem making the elder gasp and sit up in surprise.“Ra damnit where is the fire?” the elder asks when he sees Yugi amused leaning against the post of the door, dressed and ready to go. “Where are you going? and why the rough wake up?”“You didn’t want to wake, I want to meet my godchild, that one wants to meet his sisters, I still don’t have a car to drive in, so come on get dressed!” the young man says exited.“Okay, okay, I’m up. Heba if you don’t get off, we can’t go.”Atem was quickly dressed and when they enter the hospital, they see Ryou looking through a window, the three walk over and greet the white-haired male. And he introduces them to their nieces.“That girl with the yellow hat is Amene she will be Yugi’s godchild, and the girl with the pink hat is called Isis she will become Atem’s godchild.” He says with a smile and then crouches down to pick up Heba in his arms. “And you are a big brother now.” He says giving Heba a big hug.
Thirza-1984:
“I do.” Yugi says while looking deeply into Atem’s eyes, while the other looks deeply in the now 26-year-old.They agreed on a date only three weeks in between their birthdays more as a joke since they are 6 weeks apart with their birthdays? But the fun part is when they thought about it, this particular date is also the date those two started dating officially.“I do.”“Then I hereby pronounce you husbands until death will part you, you may kiss your man.”They decided they would keep their own name since Atem had his name on the company, and Yugi has his title and products on his name.
Thirza-1984:
“Welcome home papa, welcome home daddy! How was your trip?” Heba excitedly calls when the car is close to stopping in the garage, but Atem doesn’t get a chance since his 26-year-old husband jumps out and rushes to catch Heba who allows his daddy to cuddle him deeply. After a while however the younger man releases the child because he sees the man he missed most during their honeymoon.He runs to his grandfather and Atem almost fears Yugi will bear-jump the old man and break his back by doing so, but before he reaches him, he stops and hugs the old man as if grandpa is a porcelain doll. Atem however… well the almost 31-year-old is indulged in a bearhug. And that’s not strange since the boy is used seeing his father every other week. And now he needed to miss him for a whole 3 weeks.With Heba around his waist he walks to his spouse and grandfather hugging them also in the proses and hearing a muffled “Welcome home kids.” From the 80-year-old man. With a smile both men cuddle their little family. Thinking about memories they made and wish to share.When they finally can go inside, Yugi takes a glare to the grass field. With a sad look in his eyes, he finds the thing that was his pride and joy for the past 10 years. His royal blue car with the Kuribo on the hood and the KOG signature written down in his brown furry belly. His eyes in a dreamy way and a gentle smile gracing his face, Atem knows he is remembering the past 10 years happy that all turned out to be a bright future.
