Hello!
M'kay, I know I already have two other fics going, and I know that I have problems with updating, but I really wanted to do this, seeing as there's now officially fourteen days left until Christmas. Joyous rejoicing and such!
Some of these shall be shipping, some of them shall be Gen, and all of them will be fun to write. I will try to include a variety of characters, although you all know who like best. *winks*
Anyhoodle, I promise this won't interfere with my Drabbles schedule, not if I can help it. And since all I need to do with chapters two through five of Small Comforts is type them, we should be safe there. So anyway, enjoy, review, and all that good stuff.
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
"Hello, Kame Game Shop, how can I help you?"
Yugi Moto stifled a yawn as he answered the phone. It had been a long day, and it was almost closing time. Why, oh why did people still insist on calling ten minutes 'till closing time? He had been hoping to get to bed early tonight…
"Hello, may I speak to a Yugi Moto?"
Yugi frowned. "Uh, yes, that's me. Do I know you?"
"No."
"Oh. Well, uh, what do you need?"
"I need you to come outside."
Yugi glanced out side. "Sir, I don't mean to be rude, but it's practically snowing bullets. Do you think this could wait until morning?"
"No. It must be tonight."
"Why?" Yugi asked himself. "What's so special about tonight?" Then he remembered. It was Christmas Eve.
Yugi sighed and turned to get his coat. "All right, sir. Just hold on one moment, I'll-." But the man on the phone had hung up.
Yugi stood silent for a minute, tempted to hang up his coat, turn around, and go back inside. But then he shook his head. "That wouldn't be right. I have to keep my promise."
With that, he turned and opened the door.
He was met with a gust of freezing air and snow, causing him to shiver tremendously after the first few seconds. Okay, maybe this wasn't such a great idea…
"Hello?" he called. No one answered.
Determined, Yugi tried again. "Hello? Sir? Are you out here? Hello?"
Still no answer. Yugi sighed, turning to go back into the warm game shop. "It was probably just a prank caller," he thought. "Oh well. I guess I'd better-." He stopped suddenly, noticing something at his feet.
It was small, and slightly covered in snow but it was there none the less. Yugi picked it up and examined it. It was a small shoe box, and Yugi was almost certain he could hear something moving inside. He gave one last look around, then took the box inside.
Yugi set the box on the counter, next to the cash register and opened it.
It was a small bird.
Yugi stared, shocked. "How on Earth…" Then he noticed the note.
Dear Yugi,
I found this outside, and I hoped you could care for it. I know I'm in no position to.
Yugi sat down.
Please keep it safe, and, maybe, if you want, you can think of me when you see it. I miss you, abiou.
Love, Atemu.
Yugi re-read the note. Then he looked at the bird. "I miss you to, Other Me. Merry Christmas.
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree.
There you go. End of first part. There should be one every day. (I hope.)
Hope you liked!
