Hikari: (has a Santa hat on) Hey peeps! What is up this holiday season?
Yugi: (also has a Santa hat on) I know I'm having a lot of fun! X3.
Yami: Bah Humbug!
Yugi: Aw Yami! Don't be like that!
Yami: Well, I don't like the holidays because I don't get to see you half the time…
Hikari: We can fix that! X3. (smirks evilly)
Yugi: (whispers) Yami, I think her horns are holding up her halo again…
Yami: (whispers back while sweatdropping) I would have to agree with you Aibou…
Hikari: And sorry it seems a bit rushed... I didn't have much time to do it...
Yami: (opens mouth)
Yugi: Don't say anything! I would like to keep our lives, mmkay?
Hikari: (glares at them before turning to the readers) Anyway, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, the characters, or the song I'll be using. It's called I'll Be Home For Christmas by Rascal Flatts. X3.
I'm There In Time
Yugi looked at the clock over on the mantle above the fireplace. The digits read 11:42 PM. He looked at his phone again. Seeing no missed calls from anyone made him a bit sad. The day was, as Ryou would put it, Christmas Eve Eve or the day before Christmas Eve.
FLASHBACK
Okay, Yugi had a best friend named Atem. And a few years ago on Christmas, Rebecca had broken Yugi's heart by calling him and telling him she didn't want to date him anymore. Then she just... hung up. It was better than just leaving a note. So when Atem, who was an archaeologist, had come back from Egypt to visit his childhood friend. Once he found out what happened he asked Yugi to go out with him. The younger agreed with a big smile on his face.
From then on he was Atem's boyfriend. The part of it was whenever he went to Egypt, Yugi would accompany him. Although...
Yugi couldn't go with him this last time. Because now that he was going to school and working his own job he had no time to go to Egypt with Atem. He told Atem to go by himself and that's what he was going to do... until Anzu had bumped into their conversation.
Atem had politely declined and walked away from her with Yugi in toe. Anzu looked after them with a glare before walking away.
But Atem did end up going by himself and met a long time friend there. Yugi was happy for him when he got the message. It also happened to say that he was going to bring him back as well. Yugi couldn't wait to meet a friend of Atem's. So as the month went by Yugi had got a letter saying Atem was coming back the following week. The teen cleaned the house up little by little everyday.
Finally the day came when Atem and Yami, his friend, were going to be arriving. Yugi came home that day and was about to leave to go pick them up at the airport when he saw Atem's car. He smiled and went into the house. The teen was met with Atem and a man, who Yugi assumed was Yami, in a kiss.
Tears started coming to his eyes before he ran from the room to his own and cried on his bed after he locked the door. Several minutes later he heard a knocking on his door. He was still too upset to even thik of answering the door. But when his ears twitched, they do that when he hears sounds in silence, he dived under his bed when the door opened. The crying teen bit his lip from crying even more when he saw Atem and Yami.
"Little one?" Atem called out. Yugi kept quiet and silenced his breathing more, though the though of his heart beating too loud made him wonder if it was just him.
A hand landed on Atem's shoulder. "Mind if I try something Atem?"
Said man shook his head and gestured for Yami to try. He nodded and looked around. "Yugi? I've heard all about you from Atem. I've seen pictures of how cute you look when blushing, and how beautiful you are when you smile. And in my mind I've wanted you how Atem has had you. I want to kiss your sweet lips.
"I want to be your shoulder to cry on. I want to be the arms that wrap around you at night. I want to be the person you come to for comfort when you feel scared or sad. I want to be the everything that matters most to you, like Atem..."
Yugi started crying again. But not because he was heartbroken from Atem kissing another male. But... because of all the wonderful things this Yami said to him. Yugi moved out of his hiding spot and ran to Yami giving him a hug. His arms enclosed around the smaller and tightened.
Yugi was lifted up and put on his bed. Now Yami was laying on his right while Atem was laying on his left. The teen fell asleep knowing he was safe and protected by the two that surrounded him.
END FLASHBACK
Now Yugi was going to be by himself that day and until after Christmas because Yami and Atem wouldn't get back until then. He got up from his place on the couch and went up for bed. He went through a shower putting his pajamas on that were black with purple stars on it. Last Christmas, Yami got him those as to Atem getting the same ones except they were white instead of black. Yugi smiled to himself and went off to bed.
The next morning Yugi got up and changed so he could do some last minute shopping to make sure he had everything for Christmas. Once he was done, which was about 1 PM, he went to the park to sit down and relx with the few bags sitting next to him. He let out a happy sigh and looked around to see the fallen snow and how magnificent the pine trees looked with the snow on them.
A chill went through the air and Yugi shivered, forgetting how cold it could get with the snow. He picked up all his bags and started to walk home. He didn't get there too long afterwards and started putting everything away. Once that was finished about an hour had past and he decided he would watch a Christmas movie marathon on TV.
When a commercial came on several hours later a song started playing. And it was by one of his favorite bands, Rascal Flatts. He turned it up as he went into the kitchen to fix himself something quick and easy.
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home, I'll be home
If only in my dreams
I'll be home, I'll be home
If only in my dreams
I'm dreamin' tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
(Usually do)
And although I know
It's a long road back
I Promise You
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistle toe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home, I'll be home
If only in my dreams
Yugi started to cry after the song ended. He missed Atem and Yami so much, they've been gone for at least a month now, and he wouldn't be able to see them until after Christmas. He wiped the tears away from his eyes, even though they kept falling, and finished cooking what he was. After he finished cooking, he ate, and then went to bed since he didn't really feel like staying up anymore.
It's not like he really blamed Rascal Flatts or the channel that was on. He just missed his lovers so much. So he decided to head to bed and this time he wore Atem's gift, the pajamas that were white with purple stars. It made Yugi laugh a little actually. Those two sometimes fought for Yugi's affections, even if all three of them were together. He sighed a happy sigh again and fell asleep, dreaming of a Christmas with his lovers.
Yugi started to get up slowly when he felt the bright sun hit his eyes. His eyes opened and he rubbed them. He realized that it was Christmas already and he headed downstairs without even changing out of his pajamas. He rubbed his eyes once again and yawned. Vaguely he relaized there was a present under the tree. Yugi went to investigate, but the doorbell rang. He looked between the present and the door. There was nothing there last night. But the person behind the door persisted and he put the gift at the back of his mind for now.
"Yug'!" And then he was glomped.
"Yugi, we missed you over the past few days! Where've you been?" Ryou asked.
He shrugged as the lump on him cuddled him. "Yugi-kun! I've missed you!" Malik whined.
"Of course you did..." Seto, Marik, and Bakura all said at the same time.
Yugi smiled. "Hey guys."
They all talked and opened their gifts. They also had some fun when Joey rematched Yugi to a game and when Malik was caught under the mistletoe with Marik. Everyone had a blast. It soon came the time for everyone to leave and they wished Yugi a Merry Christmas before leaving. The teen shut the door and sighed.
Yugi suddenly remembered about the gift that was left under the tree. It was still there, as if waiting for him. The teen headed straight for it and picked it up. He unwrapped it and found inside plushie dolls of Yami and Atem. He laughed and wrapped an arm around each one. "But... I wonder who got them for me..."
"Hear that Atem? He wonders who got them for him." A voice said.
"Ha! Who else would think of something as such for him other than ourselves Yami?" Another voice replied.
Yugi shivered at the voices and turned to see both his lovers. "Yami! Atem!" He got up and ran over to them, dropping the dolls in the process. "I've missed you!" Yugi hugged them. "I thought you said you wouldn't be here until after Christmas..."
"Well little one, they decided that working a holiday was ridiculous so they let us come back early." Atem explained.
Yami laughed. "It's not like we saw you in the park or got the dolls made yesterday. Even getting in the house after you fell asleep. You're really adorable in both of your pairs of pajamas by the way."
Atem smiled softly. "And then we heard how heartbroken you were when you were singing that one song before you went to bed. So that's another reason why we wanted to be here for today, so you didn't have to feel like that."
Yugi hugged them both and laughed softly. "Thanks. But..." Yugi took two red bows and placed them on Yami and Atem's heads. "You both are my presents... even though I don't have worry anymore because you got me miniatures of yourselves."
They all laughed as they were happy to be together one Christmas Day.
