When she starts cussing at you
Kiss her and tell her you love her
It was just another Saturday morning, Yugi, Joey, and Tristan were all sitting in Yugi's living room playing duel monsters, waiting on Grandpa Mouto to finish breakfast.
"Awww man! I lost again!" Joey cried out as Yugi's Dark Magician took the remainder of his life points.
"Dude you still stink at this game." Tristan laughed at Joey's expense.
"C'mon Tristan, Joey is a great duelist, one of the best, even Kaiba has said so." Once again Yugi tried to prevent the argument that was about to take place to no avail.
"You wanna duel me Tristan? Well bring it on!"
"Bring it on, and if I win I get to go on a with Serenity." Tristan's eyes glazed over at the mention of the girls name.
"Say what?"
"BREAKFAST IS READY BOYS!" yelled Grandpa from the other room.
"Breakfast!" both Tristan and Joey forgot their fight the moment food was brought up.
"Yugi, can you go get Atem?" Grandpa said as he put waffles on plates.
"Sure Gramps."
Yugi walked up the stairs and was about to knock on the door but was interrupted by something on the other side beating him to it,
"Atem? You alright in there?" Yugi was hesitant to venture in the room.
"What? Yeah, come in." could be heard with a few other words.
When Yugi walked in he was met by a very large mess of clothes, books, paper, sheets, everything that could move was in the floor. Atem had sat down by the window watching the cars pass by with a very noticeable scowl on his face.
" 'Tem? You OK?" Yugi started to clean his brothers' mess. Atem was normally a clean freak.
"I suppose so."
"What happened now?" Yugi noticed the sigh that escaped Atem's lips.
"Tea."
"And what did Tea do?"
"She started yelling and cussing at me."
"And why did she do that?"
"….."
"Atem?"
"….."
"Pharaoh?"
"…..."
"HEY!"
"…..i kinda told her…I kinda said…"
"You kinda said what?"
"….I said that she needed to sort out her priorities."
"Why did you say that?" Yugi was utterly confused at this point.
"Because she wanted to go see a frickin' chick flick movie instead of come see me when she hadn't seen me in over a week. A week! She always has time for Mai, Serenity, Miho, Kisara, shopping, dancing, seeing old school friends, getting her hair done, her nails done, a massage, getting coffee with a dancing partner, reading those stupid vampire book, but will she come see me when I finally have time off..NO!"
Atem was fuming. He works for Kaiba in seeing about business deals and travels for the better part of the year. When Kaiba gave him time off he would get a few days to a week or two off at time. He had been off for about three days but tomorrow he was going to be on a plane for London for about two weeks and Tea had yet been to see him.
"Who is she going to the movie with?" Yugi answered to the insane yelling Atem seemed to not notice he was doing.
"Kisara and Serenity. She went shopping with them yesterday!"
"Tea likes spending time with them. She always stayed with the guys while we were trying to save the world, she wants her girl time."
"But what about me? She loves me, or says she does, and yet when I'm home she never wants to see me." Atem's voice had gone down a bit, so soft actually that Yugi had to strain to hear it. He also knew why Atem was worrying. He never got to spend much time with family or Tea because of work and that made him insecure about Tea. That's why he had not purposed yet. He wanted a job closer to home before he made that kind of commitment. But it often scared him that Tea would leave him before he got the chance.
"Tea wont leave you bro. She loves you. But half the time we don't know your schedule and make plans while you're home and can't change them. I do know they have been wanting to see that movie for quite a while though.." Yugi said as an afterthought. Remembering Rebecca saying that she wanted to go with after hearing them talk about it but couldn't because of classes.
"Whatever. Her loss."
"Her loss?"
"I told her to go with her little friends and that I'll see her in two weeks, maybe I'll meet a British girl to take with me to the movies."
"You didn't actually say that did you."
"No, thought about it though. But she still should've yelled at me. And all those curse words; I didn't think she would say half of them. Ever." Atem looked mortified at the memory.
"I've got some advice for you Atem."
"Your advice stinks Yuge."
"It works though right?"
Hmph was all that Yugi heard in front of him as Atem turned to look back out the window.
"If she ever starts yelling and cussing at you, just kiss her and say you love her. She might regret what she was doing and apologize. You might get lucky." Yugi winked at his older brother. Atem just stared Yugi down.
"If that does not work Yugi I am going to show Rebecca those pictures of you on the toilet."
"I was 5!"
"Not the ones I took last week."
"ATEM!" Yugi ran down the stairs to kill the King of Games.
About three weeks later, a week after Atem had returned from London, Tea came to the Kame Game Shop.
"Good morning Yugi. Morning Mr. Mouto." She said cheerfully at the two standing behind the counter.
"Good morning Tea." Grandpa said with a kick in his step as he started sweeping.
"Hey Tea, how are you?" Yugi said, knowing that Atem was still furious that she refused to come see him. He had only a few days left until he left for Beijing.
"Is Atem here?" Tea asked, Yugi could tell she was nervous.
"He's on the couch. Why haven't you come to see him before now? He was still pretty mad when he left for London. He didn't even wait for you at the airport.
"I know, I woke up late and by the time I got there the plan was leaving. I tried calling his hotel room but the hotel manager said he was only taking business calls, no personal calls. And I would have come earlier this week but work has been terrible, I don't have hardly any time for myself anymore. So when Kisara and Serenity wanted to go out I said yes even though I had yet to see Atem. I thought he would understand." Tea worked as a dance instructor for girls and they had a recital coming up in a few weeks.
"You should tell him that. You two don't see each all that often and he worries that youll leave him cause hes not home enough. I don't think he realizes that you need a break just to do something fun. He probably thinks that when you want to relax you would just come see him and watch a movie in his room or something. He just doesn't understand 'girl time'." Yugi laughed at Tea's face at his explanation.
"He thinks I should come to him for everything?" Tea yelled at him. He was not expecting this.
"He's old fashioned, Tea. He wants to be the person you go to for comfort and stuff like that." Yugi was getting worried now.
"He wants to make sure that he is the only person I go to for fun? For relaxation? For everything? Well, I'll just give him a piece of my mind." With that she started heading up the stairs.
"Wait Tea! That's not it!"
Atem was currently watching the weather to see how things were going to look on his trip when the door to the shop flew open and out came his girlfriend that he had not seen in a month.
"Tea? Hey, good to see you." Atem was genially happy to see her, having thought about Yugi's words his whole stay in Europe.
"Alright, listen here Bucko. I am not a little old lady who needs a man to know where she is every minute of every day. I will not to come see you every time I want to have some fun. I will not come to you every time I need to relax and I will certainly not come at your every beck and call!" Tea was furious.
"..uh..um.." Atem was left speechless.
"Don't have anything to say? Well then..mmph!"
Atem grabbed her and kissed her before her rant could go on. He held onto her as if the world would fall apart if he let go.
When he finally did
Let go it was because they both needed air.
"Atem..what was..?"
"I love you. Hang out with your friends as much as you want, even if you don't see me when im home, just say you love me and you wont go look for someone who stays home with a boring job."
"What makes you think I wouldn't want to see you when youre home?"
"You didn't come last time when I was home for over a week. And ive already been home a week and im leaving in two days and youre just now coming to see me."
"I had previous engagements, love. And I've been working non-stop lately. I can't leave work for you no matter how much I want to. I do love you, with all my heart and I promise not to leave you. But you are just so demanding sometimes." She laughed and started rubbing his back.
"Yes, I know. That is why Kaiba hired me for this job."
They both chuckled at the comment.
"So, now that you're here..want to go show me how much you've missed me?" Atem gave Tea his best puppy dog face impression.
"Hm, of course, but only if I'm in charge." She said whilst taking his hand.
"Yes ma'am." Atem chuckled darkly as he picked her up onto his shoulder and ran for the solitude of his bedroom where the reconciliation could happen.
