Author's Note: This is something that I conjured up while talking with a good friend of mine, PhoenixDiamond. She actually inspired me to write more Mobiumshipping fics, so I'm really, really, hoping that she likes this one. ~Crosses fingers~ I'm planning on keeping this story a two shot, but we'll see. ^_^

Yugi was terrible with managing his time. Especially since taking on this new position at the Kaiba Corporation as the department head of human resources six months ago, thanks to the man himself who was surprisingly generous about giving Yugi the job. That could be in part to the fact that they were cousins and he knew Yugi desperately needed a way to make ends meet, but Seto refused to acknowledge the obvious. It was so damn typical of that tight ass of his, not to show any sign that he was more than the tyrant that most people, including his little brother sometimes, saw him as. It amused Yugi how much of a front Kaiba put up, but he knew better. And he was thankful to his cousin for the job.
He was just about to leave said job because he had another huge responsibility elsewhere. Yugi almost tripped over his new white Nike Air Force 1s that he just bought last week, trying to leave the building before being spotted by his cousin. Kaiba frowned on Yugi's choice of attire, but he did make him head of Human Resources, so Yugi must have had some type of latitude, right? Right?
Yugi wouldn't have given a fuck either way. It was a Friday and he'd just gotten paid and he had the whole weekend off to recover from his train wreck of a department. Kaiba had expected him to bring in at least three "subordinates" as the CEO called them—he never regarded people— to work in the mailroom on the fourth floor. Three of his former employees transferred overseas and Kaiba needed the positions refilled stat. On the double. Like, Yesterday. Seemed like a simple enough process, only one of the guys, who was named Duke Devlin or something like that, didn't even know what the hell "protocol" meant. He thought it was a type of dildo that hippie people used during sex. Yugi almost spit out his Pepsi when the man said that. Needless to say, Kaiba wasn't amused. Not that he ever was. A mime had a better sense of humor than he did.
So, not fulfilling Kaiba's impossible wishes to hire three people in one day, Yugi concluded that his cousin would just have to suck it up and wait until Monday. He walked down the hall towards the central elevators, wearing a black Nike Legend Dri-Fit T-shirt, and black Nike layup shorts. Yugi was far from a basketball fanatic but the clothes were comfortable. A pair of Ray-ban sunglasses lay perched on his eccentric mane, ready and willing to be lowered in front of his bright and cheerful violet eyes just in case he ran into Kaiba. He was off the clock, so technically, Yugi could do whatever he damn well pleased. He still stayed on his toes though.
If only his damn schedule didn't overlap the time that he needed to pick his son Jaden up from school. He didn't want the kid to be sitting on the curb again—that usually didn't bode well. Jaden had the attention span of a goldfish, so could never stay in one place for very long. Yugi didn't want a repeat of what happened a few weeks ago: Jaden stopping every single car that passed him, asking for change so he can buy a taxicab home. That was embarrassing. Imagine a seven year old approaching your vehicle begging for loose change. It made Yugi look like a pretty lousy parent.
Though he was far from it. If anyone was lousy, it was Jaden's deadbeat, poor excuse of a human much less a father. Not only was Alister a good actor up until Yugi had gotten pregnant, his disappearing acts rivaled that of Harry Houdini once Yugi dropped the news. The no good bastard was carrying plenty of secrets around, one being another dude on the side named Yusei, and another being means of making money—illegally by the way. Which was why the asshole was currently spending time in the penitentiary.
Yugi was fine with it. Fucking Alister was like throwing a rope in a long, empty hall anyways. He could live without that travesty.
When he reached the bottom floor of KC Corporation it was still relatively busy. There was a skyview overhead of the building permitting the glossy sunlight through the foggy windows, dripping occasionally with water because Kaiba was insistent on keeping it freezing cold in the damn place. On either side of Yugi sat two receptionists' tables, adjacent to the elevator. Both of the black leather seats occupied by his two good friends Tea Gardner and Vivian Wong.
When Yugi exited the platform he smiled and waved to them both, but couldn't stay long. It was 2:15 and Jaden's school at Domino Academy let out at 2:30. If he could avoid traffic, there was a small chance that he'd get there on time.
Of course Vivian didn't let Yugi leave without knowing whether or not Kaiba finally hired some new man candy in the mailroom department. It was uncanny how quickly she found out shit around here, especially with such a tight wad as her boss that only informed his employees on a need-to-know basis.
"Yugi!" she hissed at him as he walked on by. He pretended not to hear her though. He was strolling pretty quickly and his mind was preoccupied anyways and he needed to leave. When he didn't turn around, Vivian shot up from her seat and ran after him. It was amazing how fast she could run even in her gold platform pumps.
Yugi flinched when she grabbed his arm. "Dammit, woman, I need to go pick up Jaden, what do you want?"
Vivian scoffed in mock offense, propping her hands on her curvy hips. "Well excuuuuuuuse me Mr. Department Head!" she exclaimed. "Am I going to have to tell your cousin about your lackluster choice of clothing today? Or would you rather me page him over the intercom?"
"Damn wench," Yugi grumbled, crossing his arms over his narrowed frame. He held himself partially to stop himself from shivering in this damn place so much. Was Kaiba not ever affected by the damn temperature?
"You have five minutes."
"Ten."
"Six," Yugi said through clenched teeth.
"Fine, fine," Vivian agreed. "Now tell me about the new booty upstairs."
Yugi shot her a glare and then laughed at how serious she was. Vivian had the sex drive of a sixteen-year-old virgin and she had to have been at least twice as old, although according to her women aren't supposed to reveal their true ages. Whatever.
"There is no 'new booty' as you so lightly put it," he reported using air quotes.
"But what about the one with the jet black hair and firm looking ass? He looks like he could go a few rounds at the rodeo with me," Vivian beamed, licking her cherry red lips and contemplating, her smoky grey eyeshadow becoming more apparent once blind lust had taken over her half-mast lids.
"Reverse cowgirl again?" Yugi suggested, wary of that gleam in her eyes.
"Yes!" Vivian screeched coming back to her senses, "How'd you know?"
"Lucky guess."
Vivian was never shy about talking about her sex life, and at work of all places, almost to the point of being shameless. Teá sat at her station on the phone, watching Yugi and Vivian's animated conversation. She thinned her lips, fighting the urge to get up and join them. She kind of knew what they were talking about knowing Vivian, but she never was able to pass up the opportunity to find out the latest juicy hot gossip.
Fuck it. It was almost close to quitting time anyways. Once Teá got off the phone with a customer, she hopped out of her seat and made a way towards her two friends. If Kaiba caught them together, Teá would just easily blame Yugi and leave her and Vivian scot-free. Kaiba always kinda went soft on him anyways.
Her large breasts bounced up like basketballs under her solid black bustier, and black and grey cardigan. She could hardly skip as fast as she wanted to in that red knee length pencil skirt, but the male associates who were lucky enough to get a peek at her running didn't complain at all.
Yugi was just leaving when Teá approached them. He seemed to be in a hurry but she wanted to know what was going on. When she went to grab Yugi's wrist, Vivian cut her off at the pass.
"He hasn't even hired anyone yet so you didn't miss anything," she griped.
"Awww that's too bad," Teá lamented. "I think Vivian is starting to forget what good dick tastes like."
"Oh bitch please, it hasn't been that long since I had any," Vivian replied, scoffing and flipping her ebony hair with a hand, flippantly disregarding how loud she was and the attention that she was demanding from fellow coworkers. It was their fault for being too close to the action anyways.
"Well listen Medusa, keep those hungry eyes off the new booty until they know this place like the back of their hand," Yugi warned. "I don't need the company whore scaring off prospective employees."
"Oh, fuck you!"
"You've already tried that remember?"
Teá cupped her mouth to keep from screaming in laughter while Vivian smacked Yugi upside his head. "Oh get outta here shrimp, you have a kid to look after."
"And let's all pray that you never have to tell anyone else that."
Teá couldn't hold in her laughter anymore. It exploded out of her like a geyser and Yugi ran out of the building before Vivian could lay a finger on him. Mumbling to herself and giggling, she returned to her desk with Teá in tow.
Yugi shivered when he got outside. The warmth of the spring atmosphere thawed him like a melted popsicle. He was so damn happy to be out of that icebox for the weekend. Yugi would have to remind himself to start bringing a hoodie to work.
He was almost, almost home free, but when Yugi made his way to the company parking lot, he was tackled to the ground from behind. The concrete could've broken him in half if it wanted to. Yugi wasn't the thickest person in the world.
Funny thing is, he would have been highly pissed if he didn't know who it was that jumped him, but he did. And turning around to confront the random spikes of raven colored hair, Yugi couldn't help but grin at his younger cousin Mokuba when he finally caught his breath, noticing that the little brat couldn't stop his damn grinning, like he just pulled off the greatest offensive tackle in the world.
"Anxious to see me cousin?" Yugi asked, brushing himself off as he stood back up. Damn he was gonna feel this in the morning.
"Isn't that a good enough reason to ambush and attack you?" the kid answered with a goofy ass grin.
"Tch, no but you're a Kaiba. You do what the hell you want anyways."
"True," Mokuba replied. "But no seriously, I wanted to catch you before you left the building. You're going to go pick up Jaden right?"
Yugi hesitated before answering. "Yes…? I'm running late as a matter of fact."
"Perfect!" Mokuba exclaimed, grabbing Yugi's keys from his front pocket before he could react. "I'll drive you."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop the track and rewind the tape. Since when can you drive kiddo?" Yugi intervened, snatching his car keys back from Mokuba's grubby little hand. "Kaiba won't let you get your license until your eighteenth birthday and you're three months short. Nice try, Mokie."
"For your information," said Mokuba with a hint of sass in his voice. "I made straight As this semester, so I was allowed to get my license early. Didn't Seto tell you?"
"When does your brother ever tell me anything?" Yugi complained. "However that still doesn't mean I'm letting you drive my car. I just bought it two weeks ago."
Mokuba chuckled, grabbing Yugi by the shoulders and pushing him forward towards his vehicle. "So what did you buy, an old beat up dune buggy again that Alister left you stuck paying for when he got locked up?"
Yugi made a face. "How many times have I told you not to bring him up?"
"You shoulda told him not to bring it up that night Jaden was conceived."
"Mokuba!" Yugi spun around, breaking his cousin's grip on his shoulders. He looked highly scandalized but Mokuba saw nothing but humor in making his older cousin blush like a high school girl. It was always hilarious rattling Yugi's bones.
"What?" the kid said innocently, snickering when Yugi rolled his eyes and continued walking up to his 2013 amethyst gray Nissan Sentra SR sedan with four doors, chromed wheels and a spoiler in the back. Mokuba whistled like the big bad wolf when Yugi used the keyless entry to unlock the doors and let him inside. There were front bucket seats and rear bench seats stitched in charcoal leather.
"Damn, and you've only been at Kaiba Corp for six months?" Mokuba smiled, keenly impressed. "In a year, you're gonna be driving a cherry red Rolls Royce like my brother does."
"Not in a million years," Yugi muttered, turning on the car via button and blasting the air conditioner. He looked at the clock in the radio display and saw that it read 2:31. Shit. He was late. "We gotta go, Jaden is waiting for me."
"Come on cuzzo let me drive, pleaseeeeeee, pretty please?" Mokuba whined and begged. He tugged and pulled at Yugi's arm, almost the same way that Jaden did when the little brat wanted something he knew he couldn't have. "The school isn't even that far from here."
"Fifteen minutes is damn sure far and that's not even counting in the traffic that we'll run into. Hell nope, I'm driving."
"Hmmm," Mokuba buzzed, sitting back in his seat. "I wonder what Seto would think if he found out you were wearing basketball shorts to work today."
Yugi was midway in turning the gear in reverse when he paused and glanced down at a smirking Mokuba, who now had his hands resting behind his head. "You wouldn't dare you little shit."
"Try me."
Damn, was everyone out to ruin him today? Yugi groaned in utter defeat and frustration, switching places with the younger Kaiba and resting his mouth in a closed fist while he looked out of the window. "Hurry the hell up. I don't want Jaden waiting for me outside of the curb again," he scowled.
Mokuba turned on the CD player and Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools" reverberated in the speakers as he drove off. Yugi was literally sitting on the edge of his seat the whole time, watching his cousin, making sure that Mokuba had both hands on the wheel as he pulled out into the streets of Domino. City buses and trolleys bustled the suburban streets as the Kaiba Corporation landmark became smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror. Mokuba slightly hummed and sang along to the music, bobbing his head in sync with the beat.
"Pour up drank, head shot drank, sit down drank, stand up drank…"
Yugi rolled his eyes. "Kid, watch the road."
"I am," Mokuba insisted. "Pass out drank, wake up drank
Faded drank, faded drank…."
Yugi jumped when Mokuba's voice amplified once he got to the hook of the song.
"Why you babysitting only two or three shots
I'mma show you how to turn it up a notch
First you get a swimming pool full of liquor then you dive in it
Pool full of liquor then you dive in it
I wave a few bottles then I watch em all flock
All the girls wanna play Baywatch
I got a swimming pool full of liquor and they dive in it
Pool full of liquor I'mma dive in it."
Unbelievable. Yugi looked at his younger cousin, face full of astonishment before he turned his attention back outside of the window. The city flashed past him like a dream, or maybe that was because Mokuba was driving above the speed limit. Yugi partially didn't care because he didn't want to keep Jaden waiting and unsupervised all by himself.
Domino Academy sat upon a hill, surrounded by white picket fences. The school itself looked like a cathedral with shingles making up the roof of the building, and the insignia of the school mascot perched at the very pinnacle of the property. Cherry blossom trees roamed the outside of the gates, with some of the white petals cascading the pristine lawn, making the ground look like snow.
Mokuba pulled up to the gate but there was no sign of Jaden. Yugi immediately vacated the car not even waiting for Mokuba to turn it off. He ran up to the gate that was unfortunately locked and he didn't know who to call to come and open it. And being only a child, it would be useless to give Jaden a cell phone. The kid would either lose it or break it within the first week.
Yugi paced up and down the school like a caged lion. He walked to the left side towards the playgrounds in the back to see if Jaden may have gotten bored and decided to play there while he waited for his dad to pick him up. But there was no sign of him. Panic started to make refuge into Yugi's veins the longer Jaden remained missing but he managed to keep his faculties and wits about him.
When he returned to the front of the school, Mokuba was standing in the car door with one foot perched on top of the bottom barrier. When he spotted Yugi he beckoned him back to the car and when Yugi was close enough, Mokuba pointed to the opposite direction of the cherry blossom trees—and there he was.
Jaden was sitting on a branch on the second level of the tree. It brought a wave of relief over Yugi that he was safe but now he was pissed off that his hyperactive child was now stuck and couldn't get down. Yugi ran like a madman towards the tree and when Jaden spotted Yugi, he grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"Papi!" he exclaimed, swinging his feet back and forth. Jaden's white Arizona carpenter jeans were probably getting dirty as hell from those filthy branches, much to Yugi's frustration because he just bought Jaden those jeans last week.
"Jaden, come on down baby, we need to get home. Daddy's tired," Yugi said, holding his arms out. "I'm glad you're safe but you need to stay inside the school gates next time, okay? Daddy doesn't want anything to happen to you."
"But I got bored," Jaden grinned, revealing his deep adorable dimples on either side of youthful butter pecan skin that always made Yugi's heart melt when he laid eyes on them. "And plus my teacher wants to see you."
"See me? What for?" Yugi asked.
"I dunno," Jaden shrugged nonchalantly looking down at the ground. "He says I've been acting up in class or something. I couldn't really focus because he had a booger up his nose."
"Jaden…." Yugi sighed and face palmed. "What have I told you about—"
"It's not my fault!" the boy interrupted. "School is so boring! I hate sitting there learning about stuff that I already know. So I just do something else with my time. Sometimes I like to draw and make paper planes. It's better than listening to Mr. Ishmael talk about mixed operations and subtraction problems. Oh and you remember that girl Serenity that I told you about—"
"Jaden…"
"I hit her with my paper plane on accident and she got all bent out of shape and told on me. Can you believe that dad? Paper doesn't even hurt but she lied and said it cut her. Stupid girl just wanted attention. Crybaby."
"Jaden—"
"And don't even get me started on roman numerals. I swear my teacher must think we're still infants or something—"
"Jaden!"
An innocent smile. "Yes, daddy?"
Damn those beautiful, heart-stopping dimples. But whenever Jaden went on a tirade there was no telling when he'd break. He continued to swing his legs back and forth and Yugi was losing his patience. He was tired and hungry and needed to go home to cook dinner. He was sure Jaden was hungry too.
"Come on baby, daddy's got you. Just jump into my arms. We need to go."
"Hah! Can you even catch me dad? I bet cousin Mokuba's stronger than you. Why don't the both of you come and get me?"
Wouldn't be a bad idea. Mokuba was still standing at the car door texting in his phone. When he heard his name being called, he cocked an eyebrow.
"Well cousin?" Yugi goaded, hoping he would get the hint. "Mind helping me?"
"Kinda," replied Mokuba, turning his attention back to his phone. "He's your son."
Yugi sighed audibly and slumped his shoulders, turning around back to Jaden. The kid had no sense of time whatsoever, despite his exceptional intelligence and he didn't move an inch even when Yugi kept goading him to jump into his arms. Jaden was no "fraidy cat" as he so bravely put it and plus the brat loved heights so Yugi knew he was going to be there for a long ass time.
He was too distracted by his child to see or notice the shadowy silhouette figure emerging from the depths of the school campus, pressing the key to the security device on the gate before opening the steel doors. Stilts of caramelized legs made their way towards the cherry blossom tree, as black leather Stacy Adams dress shoes made a slight indentation in the freshly cut grass with each step that he took. His lips thinned in a relaxed smile once he recognized the rambunctious child with the breathtaking dimples and motor mouth with no surcease.
Once Jaden saw the man that was approaching steadily from behind, his eyelids widened, revealing his amber colored eyes even more and without warning, he jumped down from the branch.
Yugi panicked and his muscles clenched up for the inevitable, holding his arms out as wide as he could as Jaden fell right into his lap, making them both stumble backwards and fall to the ground, with Yugi uttering a breathless scream when Jaden landed right on his chest. It literally blackened him out for a few seconds before he came to, being assaulted with a sharp pain in his back, legs and chest.
Jaden however wasn't harmed and Yugi was glad about that but he wished the kid warned him first before jumping. He was sure that he'd broken a bone somewhere.
His son immediately got up and ran off, but Yugi didn't know where. He lay on his back on the grass recovering and waiting for the pain to dissipate before he even attempted to get back up. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, respiring, renewing, recovering, repeating . . . Yugi had been taking way too many yoga classes lately.
He felt a shadow on top of him. As a matter of fact, two shadows. Yugi would've figured that it was Mokuba and Jaden, except one of the shadows were too broad in length and width to be either one of them. Yugi opened up one of his eyes, grimacing from the prying sunlight. He threw an arm over his face and groaned. His back was killing him.
Jaden snorted. "Daddy get up!" he chided. "My teacher is here standing right next to me and you're playing mummy."
"Teacher?" Yugi may have just made the worse first impression ever. He scrambled to his feet, clenching his jaw when his knees buckled and faltered from the shooting pain in his lower back. However once he laid eyes on the person in question, the ache disappeared, and Yugi's entire world came to a halt.
Who was this human chocolate swirl ice cream standing in front of him? He wore a solid black Alfani dress shirt with a French cuff and gray Kenneth Cole dress pants with a straight fit texture. He was dressed to perfection, from the top of his unique and unruly hair, passing through two enticing ruby red gemstoned, soul searching eyes, surrounded by the smoothest caramel skin curving a straight jawline and perfect, plush lips. Yugi would bet money that that soft mouth could make him melt like butter no matter what part of his body the stranger planted them on.
And damn, don't even get Yugi started on the man's neckline. His shirt was unfastened enough at his collar to show off two pair of compact muscles, teasingly increasing Yugi's curiosity about what else hid underneath that shirt. However it was snug enough though, when Yugi's curious eyes lowered to the man's chest, to outline and shape his hard pectorals that made Yugi's mouth as wet as the Niagra falls. His torso was slender and his legs were thick and sturdy.
Fuck, what Yugi wouldn't do to have that luscious manpart in between his thighs. Heat and unbridled desire pooled in his abdomen and groin before he could stop it and from the way his heart was going pitter-patter, Yugi was definitely going to need a pacemaker soon. The air around them filled with thick yet invisible sexual tension at least from Yugi's standpoint, but from the come hither stare the man was giving him, it didn't seem to be unrequited.
Yugi was sensually hypnotized from where he was standing, frozen in absolute euphoria and mild apprehension. He was sure that by now the man noticed that he was undressing him with his eyes. God, he was teetering on the edge and if Jaden didn't get this eye candy away from him right now, Yugi would soon get charged for harassment. Gathering information from the past two minutes of meeting this specimen of a man, Yugi pondered what the hell a sex god such as him was doing working as a second grade teacher.
The Calvin Klein model lookalike extended a hand after what seemed like an eternity of Yugi staring him down like a piece of meat. Jaden had the stupidest grin on his face as he swiveled back and forth on his heel, hands tied behind his back as he watched his father look at his teacher the same way he used to look at Alister. He knew then that his daddy had a crush.
Yugi gulped, his throat feeling like sandpaper, as he raised a shaky, sweaty hand to meet the other's, immediately feeling his skin jump when his hand was squeezed.
Damn, was it hot out here or was that just Yugi's dick? He felt his pants tighten when their skin clashed and he melted like chocolate on a hot summer day. He didn't look the man directly in his face. Yugi felt as though he wasn't good looking enough to look into the eyes of a modern day Hercules. The man was just too sexy for mere words.
If this man didn't let Yugi's hand go, he would have creamed himself right then and there.
"Daddy, this is my teacher, Mr. Ishmael," Jaden reported, and couldn't stop giggling after that.
"You can call me Atem for short," the man corrected, looking down at Jaden and offering a wink. "And you are?"
. . . Holy shit, what was his name again? Yugi's mind was a blank slate as he made a face, searching through his brain for such simple information but for some reason he couldn't recollect it.
"Daddy, stop acting like a school girl with a crush and tell my teacher your name," Jaden snickered. "You're so weird sometimes."
Fucking hell. Yugi blushed. Jaden had read him like a book. He was praying to God that Atem didn't do the same. He'd already embarrassed himself enough with his invasive staring.
Finally, he found his voice. "Yugi Muto, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Atem smiled. God, was anything not perfect on this man? "Pleasure's all mine."
Damn, if Atem didn't sound like Barry White just now. Yugi mentally shook the cobwebs so that he could form a coherent sentence and avoid sounding like a babbling idiot. "S-so my son Jaden tells me that you requested to see me?"
Atem looked almost embarrassed. "Oh, oh yes," he replied, feigning as though he didn't forget the reason he came out here. Truth is he did once he laid eyes on Yugi. "I just wanted to talk to you about some possible steps that we could take together in making a few changes in Jaden's education. No need for alarm however, he's not in trouble or anything. But lately, I've been noticing that he doesn't seem to take an interest in any of the lessons that I have planned every day for my students."
Yugi perched a suspicious eyebrow and glared down at his son with crossed arms, shifting on his right leg. "Is that so?"
"Mr. Muto, please hear me out before you get upset," Atem pleaded. "Jaden earns excellent marks on all of his tests. He participates in class, sometimes a little too much. He's able to solve math equations and comprehensive questions in his reading assignments effortlessly, and he even tutors other students who may be struggling with their schoolwork. The only reason he gets bored and distracted is because I feel the work may be too easy for him."
Jaden poked Yugi in his side before he could answer. "Told you," he pouted.
"Jaden, shh," Yugi hissed before turning his attention towards Atem again. Damn, those pretty rubies could probably read his dirty thoughts by how sharp they stared into Yugi's own eyes. "Well I'm proud that Jaden is excelling in his academics. What do you propose we do?"
Atem cupped his chin, curling his lips to one side as he contemplated. So handsome.
By this time, Mokuba got bored of playing on his cell phone and joined the trio in the grass. As he approached, he noticed Yugi's flushing face around his cheeks and jawline. He knew that gaga stare anywhere.
"Well if you're free for the afternoon, you, Jaden and Mr. Kaiba over here can join me in my classroom if you'd wish. If you're hungry, I can order pizza while you and I come up with a plan that best fits your son. It's totally up to you though, Mr. Muto."
"Please, call me Yugi."
"Will do."
Mokuba rolled his eyes. The way these two were looking at each other, he didn't know whether to say "aww" or throw up in disgust at how immature they were acting. "I'd love to stay, but having the CEO of a multi billion dollar company as your older brother does bring a lot of responsibilities. That and I have some homework to tackle. But you kids have fun now! And uhhhh—" he pulled Yugi to the far side near the parking lot so that Atem and Jaden couldn't hear them.
"What?" Yugi asked suspiciously. He could see Kaiba's cherry red Ferrari pull up from the corner of his eye.
Mokuba could hardly speak without laughing. "Don't get pregnant again."
"You little bastard—"
But the younger Kaiba ran off before Yugi could finish his sentence and get a good lick in.
"Daddy come on! I want pizza! And Atem wants to have a party in his classroom. You're holding up the show!"
"That's Mr. Ishmael to you, young man," said Atem, tousling Jaden's auburn hair.
"Right," the kid giggled.
Atem punched in the security code once Yugi joined them again. Once the gate opened, the three walked side by side into the school, with Jaden in the middle and Yugi and Atem on either side. Yugi couldn't help but glance up at the man countless times when they were walking and the sun beamed down on his attractive toasted colored features at a perfect angle. Dammit to hell, it should've been a sin to be that good looking.
Atem caught him staring eventually. Yugi gasped and swiftly lowered his head to the ground, scarlet flush obvious on his cheeks as they walked into the doors of Domino Academy. Well that was embarrassing.
