Chapter Four – Two More Reasons why I Love You So
.i do not own yu-gi-oh!.
After a long day of cleaning and getting ready to have everyone over for the holiday, Yūgi wanted nothing more than to sit back, relax and read a book or something to relieve herself of the stress from the day. Just as the tri-colour haired woman was about to sit down on the couch for some much-needed relaxation, there was a knock at the front door. Yūgi wanted to scream and curse and throw something at whoever was standing on the other side of the door. But, she'd composed herself enough to not stoop to such a level as she reached for the knob.
She turned it, pulling the door slightly ajar to peek out at whoever was standing there. When she saw that it was a delivery man, she irked a brow, pulling the door opened wider.
"Delivery for Miss Yūgi Mutou," the man said reading her name off the shipping label.
Yūgi couldn't recall ordering something online that would have been delivered. Then it hit her, it had to have been Yami that sent it for her. She certainly hadn't placed any orders recently. And he was the only person that she knew who would have someone come out just to deliver something on Christmas Eve. "Yes, I'm Yūgi Mutou."
"Sign here please," he said passing her a clipboard.
Yūgi quickly signed before handing it back, the delivery man handing her the package in return. He tipped his hat to her before turning and making his way back down the porch steps then to his van that was parked on the side of the road. Yūgi in turn kicked the door closed before carrying the package to living room where she placed it on the coffee table. Yūgi's head tilted to the side, examining the box. What could he have possibly gotten her this time?
Using her keys, she tore the tape away before opening the box to reveal a lovely package sitting within. It was addressed to her from Yami which meant that he'd probably found it while he was in New York and immediately had it shipped off the moment he bought it. He was always so thoughtful.
Picking up the beautifully wrapped gift, she moved to place it beneath the tree with the rest. Since he wasn't there, she wouldn't be opening a gift on the night before. She'd wait until the morning when he was actually here to see her reaction to whatever it was that he'd gotten for her. Though shouldn't help but admire how beautiful the colour of the wrapping paper was. It almost rivaled her eyes with its purple hue. How thoughtful of him.
Her phone buzzed a moment later, the tri-colour haired woman skipping to the kitchen where she'd left it. Picking it up off the counter, she opened the text message Yami had sent her. There was a smile that crossed her lips at his message.
'I got the alert that the package was delivered. Did you like your gift?'
She sent a text back, fingers gracefully flying across the keyboard.
'Didn't open it, waiting for you to come home.'
She turned to make her way back into the living room when she heard another knock at the front door. She figured it either had to be his family or her grandfather since they would be staying over for the holiday to celebrate together. She'd known they were coming and had been cleaning all day that day for precisely that reason. She had to get the rooms they would be staying in ready for them.
She opened the door just as another text had come through. She greeted both of Yami's parents, his brother, sister-in-law and her grandfather before moving to the side to allow them entrance. Their shoes were removed at the genkan as she closed the door before her attention was turned to her cellphone again. She laughed to herself at his response.
'The point of the gift was for you to open it, Yūgi. Goodness.'
She replied back only a moment later before slipping her phone into her back pocket and making herself comfortable in the living room where everyone had gathered.
'I'd rather wait for you to come home, then I'll open it.'
