For Yugi, winning duels wasn't quite as easy as it was for his Daddy, but he still had an easy time dueling. He won matches left and right, but being the king of games didn't necessarily mean that it was easy, it just meant he had skills. He kept an eye trained on Joey too, and eventually it ended up being the two of them facing off against one another for the win. In the end, Yugi ended up winning with a narrow lead of only one hundred life points. When their battle ended, it was getting close to sunset. Yugi parted ways from his friends and tiredly walked home.
When he finally got back home, he was exhausted. He flopped down on the bed tiredly, and was quiet as Atem changed him. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, forlornly wishing that he had taken a nap that day. He went to the kitchen to get something to eat, even though he wasn't that hungry, and ate his meal before going back to his room. He kicked his shoes off and climbed under the covers. He grabbed his pacifier from the nightstand, popped it into his mouth, and quickly fell asleep.
When he woke up it was to rays of sunlight coming through his bedroom window. He looked over at his alarm clock and saw that it was five thirty in the morning. For a second he thought his alarm hadn't gone off and that he was late to get ready for school, but then he remembered that it was finally the weekend and he didn't have to get up yet. So he laid back down, happily sucking on his pacifier as he fell into a state of semi sleep. Atem, who had been awake for a while, changed Yugi while he was still in bed. He knew Yugi probably wouldn't realize his diaper was wet yet. In fact, it was getting to the point where he didn't notice until he was close to the point of leaking. While Yugi was still asleep, Atem put his old baby blanket on top of him, and handed him his stuffed Kuriboh toy. He smiled in his sleep. Satisfied, Atem decided to go to the kitchen and get breakfast started.
While Atem cooked, Yugi dreamed.
Yugi opened his eyes to the dim lighting of the nursery. He squirmed a little and noticed the squish of his diaper underneath him. It felt strange, but still felt right. He put his pacifier into his mouth and his other hand frantically searching for his stuffed animal. When he found it, he calmed considerably. He focused his eyes on the bars of the crib, and it had a soothing effect on him. However, although he was dreaming, part of him was still conscious. As he dreamed his ears attuned themselves to footsteps in the hall.
Daddy.
What was he doing? Yugi wondered as he watched the spinning mobile above him. A lamb circled by, then a bird. then a bear, and a puppy. All set off by stars floating in the middle. It was nice, he decided. Soothing. He laid there a few minutes, enjoying himself. He could see something at the end of the crib. He crawled over to it and pressed the button, and watched as it lit up and played music. He giggled to himself and cuddled his toy for a few minutes before he heard a soft voice urging him to wake up.
Yugi opened his eyes to see Atem standing over him. He smiled sleepily and reached up to him. Atem checked his diaper to make sure he was dry, and then took him out to the kitchen. Yugi had to admit, it smelled good. Yugi was sat down at the table and had a plate of food placed in front of him. The morning sun got right in his line of sight, and he shut his eyes at the onslaught of bright light. He looked down and started trying to eat, but was bothered by the light. He got up to move his chair, but there wasn't a place that wasn't a place where the light didn't shine.
Atem sensed his irritation and put a hand on his shoulder, and positioned himself so as to block the light. Yugi smiled at him, and started eating. Atem stood there until he finished, and then moved to wash the dishes while Yugi sat quietly in his chair, unsure of what to do now. He wasn't sure if he should go out or stay home for the day. He wanted to stay home and have another bonding day, but he also knew he couldn't do it often without making his friends think he was up to something. He thought about it for a few minutes, unconsciously sucking his thumb. When Atem looked over at him, he smiled. When the dishes were done, he went over to Yugi.
"Still unsure of what to do now?" he asked.
Yugi nodded. "I don't know."
Atem took him by the hand and led him back to his room for a change. Yugi often started to suck his thumb when his diaper was changed. Atem doubted that he knew it happened, but he found it endearing. It was this simple act of love that made Yugi decide to take another day for himself and his Daddy.
He got dressed in his favorite outfit and got out all his toys to play with. He watched morning cartoons and played with his stuffed animals. Atem put on a movie for him in the afternoon, and Yugi ended up falling asleep to it. Atem stayed up and watched over him. Roughly an hour into his nap, the doorbell rang. Atem, not wanting to wake him, went to get the door himself.
There stood Tèa, smiling at him.
"Hey Atem. I just wanted to see if you and Yugi wanted to hang out."
"Thank you, Tèa, but he- we have some things to do today."
"Oh. Okay." But before she turned to leave she caught sight of something that almost made her jaw hit the floor.
Yugi had come around the corner in his full attire, rubbing his eyes and freezing at the sight of her.
