This chapter is a real peach (pardon the pun). Lots of family fluff.
WARNING: It also has some drunken behaviour and sex. If you do not like reading sexually explicit stuff, then skip over the last bit. I have not made it too explicit and have kept it tasteful, but have upped the rating to 'M' just to be safe. Let me know if you think I am being too OTT with the rating?
Anyway, hope you enjoy.
For The Sins of The Father.
Dancing Queen.
Yugi arrived at Anzu's parents house with plenty of time to spare. He rang the doorbell and waited for Anzu's mother to answer. Yugi got on well with his in laws, they had known him since he was a little boy and had welcomed him into their family when he and Anzu had become a proper couple. Although Anzu had told him in confidence once, that they wished he would get his hair cut! They had worried that he might give people the wrong impression and that it might damage his career prospects! Yugi had been slightly offended at first, but Anzu told them that she loved his hair, it was his trademark and that he would not be getting it cut. He had proved them wrong on the career prospects too, he was making more money in a month than Anzu's father did in a year!
Anzu's mother opened the door. "Hello Yugi." She bowed politely gesturing for him to enter the house.
"Good afternoon Mrs Mazaki." Yugi bowed in response and made his way into the hallway. "Has little Atem been well behaved?"
"He has been a little angel. I love having him here. How has your day been? New job going well?"
"Yeah, fine thanks. I am settling in nicely. Have you heard from Anzu yet?"
"No, nothing so far, auditions are probably still going on, I am sure she will call as soon as she has some news. I just hope its good news!"
They went into the sitting room, where little Atem was sitting playing with some building blocks.
"Daddy!" The little boy came running over, happy to see his father. Yugi scooped him up into his arms and ruffled his hair. He had inherited Yugi's wild hair and soft lavender eyes. However, Anzu kept his hair short, so that it was easy to manage.
"Have you been a good boy for Nana?" Yugi enquired.
"I good boy. Play!" Atem pointed in the direction of toys and blocks scattered all over the floor. His vocabulary was still very limited, but he was learning new words every day. But like most two year old children, he had yet to string proper sentences together.
"Shall we tidy up for Nana?" Yugi looked at all the mess and felt slightly guilty. Untidiness was another of Yugi's traits he had inherited!
"Oh! Don't worry about that, I will clear up later."
"Did he eat his lunch? Only, he's been a bit fussy with his food lately." Yugi enquired as he scooped the blocks up and dropped them into the toy box.
"We made Okonomiyaki for lunch and Atem decorated it with a smiley face, didn't you?" Little Atem nodded and pulled a funny, smiley face. "The secret is to chop the cabbage up very small, then he can't pick it out." She explained.
"Ah.. Okay. I will tell Anzu to try that next time. We can't seem to get him to eat his greens!"
"Shall we show daddy the nice painting you did this afternoon?" Leading them into the kitchen.
Atem nodded, holding both palms up. "Made messy hands." He giggled, his hands had been washed but you could still see traces of paint under his nails and in the creases of his palms.
"Wow! That's really good Atem." Yugi crouched down and held the painting at arms length, so that they could both see it better. It had lots of different colour hand prints and some smudges. Mrs Mazaki had written Atem Mutou and the date, at the bottom of the picture. "Shall we put it on the fridge for mummy to see when she gets home later?" Atem nodded happily at the suggestion.
"Thanks for looking after him today Mrs Mazaki. If Anzu is successful in her audition, we may have to put on you some more. We will pay you of course, we can't expect you to babysit for nothing."
"Don't be silly, he's my Grandson, I love having him here."
"I guess. I will let Anzu discuss the arrangements with You. Come on little guy, shall we go home now and wait for mummy?" Yugi strapped him into his pushchair and they said their goodbyes.
By the time they arrived home, Atem had fallen asleep in his pushchair. Yugi decided to prepare supper before waking him up. He didn't want to let him sleep for too long, if he did, Atem would be running around until midnight, on the other hand if he woke him up now he would probably have a tired, grumpy two year old to contend with. It was a no win situation!
Yugi poured himself a beer and sat down, he decided to let him sleep for half an hour and then wake him. He would use the time to call Anzu, he was a little worried that she hadn't called him! The audition must be over by now? Pulling out his phone he suddenly remembered that he had left it on silent!
"Oh! Crap!" He hissed. Anzu had been trying to contact him. Feeling very guilty, he listened to the messages before calling her. A little grovelling might be required.
"Hey! My beautiful Prima Ballerina!" He cringed at how corny he sounded.
"Yugi! At last...I bet you had your phone on silent again?!" Anzu shouted above the music and voices, in the noisy bar.
"Yeah. Sorry... Will you forgive me?" He said sheepishly.
"I can't hear you, speak up? Hang on I'm just going outside." She shouted loudly, causing him to move the phone away from his ear. Once she was outside, he repeated his apology.
"Of course I forgive you, silly. I'm far too happy to be annoyed, I'm going to be a star Yugi! You don't mind me staying out celebrating, do you? Are you okay looking after Atem on your own?" She sounded a little hyper, barely taking a breath between sentences.
"You enjoy yourself. I have everything under control here, so stop worrying, okay? I am really happy for you. You must have really impressed them."
"They really loved my dancing Yugi. I will be on television, I'm so excited, I just wish you were here to celebrate with me." She giggled happily.
"You have fun, you deserve it. I am fine with the babysitting. Have you got someone to see you home safely?" He heard people in the background, trying to get Anzu's attention.
"I gotta go Yugi. They want a photograph of all the dancers. I don't know what time I will get home. Shizuka is here with me so don't worry about me coming home on my own. I love you."
"I love you too, my dancing queen." He laughed as they both ended the call. He felt really proud of her, she had worked so hard for this chance and she really deserved it, he would support her in any way he could.
Yugi looked in the fridge to see what he could make for tea, he smiled when he saw the pack of burgers with a little note from Anzu attached, saying Special treat. They usually ate a very healthy diet because Anzu needed to stay lean and fit for dancing. He laughed again when he saw the bowl of salad vegetables she had prepared to go with the burgers, Anzu knew that left on his own he would just eat the burgers.
Yugi was not a very good cook but was quite capable of cooking the burgers, he served them with noodles and the salad, he finished it with a garnish of toasted sesame seeds. He chopped Atem's food into bite size pieces, so that he could eat it easily and put a tomato ketchup smiley face on the plate as a dipping sauce. Much of it ended up in his bib, but he enjoyed the burger and ketchup, and like most toddlers left the salad.
Afterwards Yugi got some crayons out for Atem to do some drawing, while he tidied up the kitchen. Atem drew a picture with a blue body, shaped like a peanut. It had a head much larger than the body, with two black blobs for eyes and a huge pink mouth. He scribbled orange for the hair and gave it green arms and legs that resembled twigs and were not quite attached to the body.
"What have you drawn Atem?" Yugi enquired politely.
"Mummy dancing." He held it out proudly for Yugi to see.
"That's very good, mummy will love it." Yugi was trying very hard not to laugh. "Shall we go and have bath time now?"
Little Atem nodded with excitement. "Splash daddy?"
"Yes, you can splash daddy." Yugi scooped him up and tickled him, he then carried his giggling little son upstairs to get ready for their bath.
Yugi bathed with Atem to save time. They played some games filling little buckets with water and tipping them over each other. After they had finished washing they put on clean pyjamas and sat down to watch some cartoons together. Little Atem soon got bored and started jumping up and down on the sofa. Yugi held his hands and helped him to bounce really high by throwing him up and then catching him.
By nine o'clock Atem was getting tired, but was determined to resist sleeping. Yugi was also feeling worn out.
"Shall we go up and brush our teeth now? Then I will read too you."
"Play?" He leaped up and went to pull toys out of the box.
"No. Teeth, book and bed." Yugi ordered.
"No. Play." He pouted.
Little Atem whined and protested when Yugi picked him up and took him upstairs.
"No play, it's bed time for you."
Yugi helped him brush his teeth and then put him to bed. After reading a bed time story, he tried to get a rather intransigent Atem to sleep. It ended up with Yugi having to lie on the bed with him to get him to go to sleep. An hour and a half later; Yugi woke up realising that he too had fallen asleep. He quietly got up and pulled the bars up, that were attached to the side of the bed, to prevent Atem rolling onto the floor and hurting himself. Yugi smiled at his son sleeping peacefully as he tiptoed out and closed the safety gate in the doorway behind him.
It was now ten forty five, Anzu wasn't home yet. Yugi checked his phone, no missed calls! or messages! He decided to brush his teeth and go to bed, he had work the next day and didn't want to be overtired. However, he found it difficult to get to sleep, part of him wanted to wait up until Anzu got home.
:::::::::::::::::::
Anzu floated, clumsily from the taxi and after fumbling around for her front door key, managed to let herself in. To say she was a little light headed, was an understatement.
The house was quiet, Yugi had left the hall light on for her. She ascended the stairs and tiptoed, unsteadily, into their bedroom, trying not to disturb him. Anzu was busting for a pee, she just about made it to the en suite bathroom. She then brushed her teeth and had a large glass of water before going back into the bedroom.
As she was undressing, Anzu clumsily knocked into the bedside table knocking her glass of water over. Yugi stirred slightly. Anzu suppressed a giggle. "Sshhhh. Fairy elephant." She scolded the table and picked the glass up off the carpet and put it back on the table rather noisily.
Yugi stirred, mumbling this time. "Mmm. Anzu?"
He looked so cute and irresistible. He was still asleep, his eyelids fluttering slightly. She leaned across and stroked his hair away from his face.
"Are you awake Yugi?" She slurred her words slightly.
He was waking up now. "Nuh." Was his response.
Anzu slid into bed wearing only her panties and snuggled up to him, he felt warm and his hair smelled of spicy apples. Being close to him was making her feel nice. She gave him a little kiss on the lips and felt him smile as he responded, sliding his arm around her and kissing her gently in return. She tasted of toothpaste, spicy food and wine.
Yugi paused, pulling away slightly he gave her a quizzical look. "Anzu? Are you drunk?!"
"No! Just a little tipsy." She giggled. "We had champagne and now I'm feeling horny." She purred.
Yugi squinted at the clock, it read twelve fifty five am. "Anzu! It's late. I have work in the morning and you've had too much to drink!" He protested weakly, knowing that if she carried on he would soon give in.
"Spoilsport. I want to celebrate." She nibbled his neck.
Yugi could feel his body responding, but was desperately trying to control himself. Anzu was in a rather naughty mood, he was enjoying it. But he didn't want to take advantage of a drunk woman! "Anzu! We should get some sleep? I am tired and you have a toddler to look after tomorrow!"
Anzu ran her fingers over his chest and down to his abdomen, before slipping her hand into his shorts, causing him to shiver at the touch. "Someone doesn't feel like he is tired?!" She gave him a little squeeze and massaged him, causing him to make a low moaning sound. Any rational thoughts that he had a few moments ago were weakening, her actions were causing little pulses of desire to surge through his nerve endings, he couldn't stop now! Yugi captured her mouth with his and kissed her passionately, his hand moving slowly down her body to remove her remaining under garment.
Ten years into their relationship and their love for one another was as deep and meaningful as the day they first fell in love, something few lovers are lucky enough to find. They had shared so many experiences growing up, as lovers they had shared so much more. He knew exactly how to please her, as did she him. Anzu moaned in pleasure at his touch.
Foreplay over, Yugi moved into position on top of her. Anzu gave a little moan of pleasure and wrapped her supple legs round him as he entered her, making him growl.
Together, they moved in waves, her body wrapped tightly round him. She held him so deeply inside her that he thought he might be lost completely. Yugi was struggling to hold himself back, he didn't think he could last much longer.
Suddenly he felt her body trembling and she cried out his name. "Yuugii.."
This was all it took for him to give up trying to hold back any longer. "A...Anzu.." He breathed huskily, trying not to shout, for fear of waking their son, sleeping in the next room.
They held each other tightly, as they rode on their wave of passion, each trying to prevent the other from falling as their wave crashed over them, until together, they both came to rest gently on the shore.
Panting heavily, they both lay still in each others arms, for a few moments, enjoying the tingling sensations still running through their bodies.
Yugi lifted himself slightly, to look at her face. Her eyes were glazed and half lidded, her make up, which she had failed to take off properly, was smudged, giving her two black eyes. He smiled, she was beautiful, no matter what she looked like.
"I love you Anzu." He purred, in a deep husky voice.
"Mmmm... I love you too Yugi." She looked up dreamily and pushed his hair back with her hand so that she could see his face. Her vision started to spin, Anzu wasn't sure if it was the room, Yugi, or herself that was spinning. All of a sudden she didn't feel too well.
Yugi noticed her sudden change of expression. "Anzu?!" he reached for the box of Kleenex and rolled off her.
"Oh.. God! I don't feel too good." She leaped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, leaving a rather shocked and concerned Yugi sitting there.
This was turning into a very eventful night and it was still far from over!
Oh dear! Anzu has over indulged in champagne and made herself ill. What a passion killer.
Hope you enjoyed that chapter. It was fun to write.
Next chapter should be up in a day or so.
