I woke up with an unwanted headache. I turned my head to find Atemu sleeping next to me. I smiled. Maybe yesterday was a nightmare. I remove the blanket and left the room. I headed down to the kitchen to get a drink. Couldn't find anything good, I got some water. I heard some footsteps from a far distance. I was thinking it might be Atemu or one of the kids. Heba wasn't the one I was expecting at all.
"Good morning Yugi." He smiled at me.
I smiled back.
He got himself a drink and took a seat across from me. I averted my eyes to something else to seem like it was interesting. I can't believe we still talk after all the event that took place. I couldn't help, but to feel that I'm the guilty one of all of this.
"Yugi…" Heba called out to me.
I focused my attention to Heba since I lost interest from what I was look at. I can see that he was uncomfortable by the look in his eyes and how his finger is moving around the cup. There were a few times he would open and close his mouth.
"I was wondering if I could get some advice." He said between pauses.
"Advice on what?"
"Having a child."
I froze on the spot. It didn't show outside, but on the inside I'm truly shocked. Heba wants to have Yami's… child? I can feel my body tense up.
"What were Yami thoughts on this?" Trying to calm myself.
"He was the one that suggested it."
My chest tightens. He was the one to suggest it? After he told me he loves me. I should've not believed it and took it by heart. Maybe last night was all lies. Nothing, but dirty lies for his own entertainment. Like he did in the past. I snapped out of my senses and looked at Heba's hand on mine.
"Having a child can be difficult." I started. Heba listened carefully.
"Sometimes, giving birth can be painful, but it's good to know he or she is born safely." I silence myself before continuing.
"It may be a lot of work, but there is some reward in it."
He smiled at the new information I gave him. I smiled back. I told him that I was still sleepy and need to rest up for the day. As I walk back, I ran into Yami. We stare at each other for a few minutes, but to me it was forever. I was the one to end it. I walked passed him till he grabbed my wrist. I can feel his crimson eyes piercing my body. Making holes on my body, I hate how he has power over me like this.
"Let go." I hissed at him.
"To be with Atemu? I don't think so."
"Your wife is in the kitchen, thinking of having kids."
I can feel the silence taunting me, as if it was on Yami's side. I felt like an outcast. I threw his arm off my wrist. I gave him one last glare and left him standing in the halls. I rushed in my room to find Atemu sitting up and fully awake. I ran to him, pulling myself closer to him. He embraces me in return. I let out a few tears relieve the pain I was holding in.
"What's wrong Aibou?
That name… how did he know that name?
"How did you know that name?"
"You told me it and I was very fond of calling you it too."
Back then, only Yami called me that. No one else would call me by that except for Yami. I release more tears from my amethyst eyes. Atemu took it all as a surprise.
What is it Yugi? You don't want me to call you that now?" I notice the worry in his voice.
"No, it's not that." I started to hiccup.
"Then what's wrong my love?"
"Do you love me?"
He took that as a surprise. I placed my hands on both his cheeks. I was trembling. He knows I am too.
"Of course I love you. I have from the beginning and to the end"
He leans closer to my hands. He looked into my tearful eyes. I can see both the love and worry in his eyes. If only I met Atemu in the past. If only Atemu was the spirit that I fell in love with. If only… I can replace all the memories of Yami and me together with Atemu. I kissed him on the lips, which he responded, by kissing back. I always feel secure whenever I'm around Atemu. He brings me so much peace. We deepened the kiss. When air was required, we parted.
"Yugi, I need to get ready for work." He whispered into my ear.
"Couldn't you stay home with me and the kids?" I pouted
"Sorry, even though I want to, running a business is a lot hard than you think" He chuckled. That's something I didn't know. Well there aren't a lot of things I don't know about the event that is going on.
"Okay, but hurry home." I smiled at him.
"Why? Do you miss me?" He smiles back.
"Yes. In a matter of fact I do." I responded with a giggle.
All the sadness I had was gone. To say, I didn't even noticed.
"How about we have a dinner date when I'm done? Does that sound good?" He offered.
"Sounds perfect." I agreed right away.
"Okay then. I'll make the plan and you wear the suite that I love." He gave me a kiss and left the room with a grin on his tan face.
I lay on the bed and wrapped the blanket nearby around me. Maybe a little sleep can help me. Once I got all relaxed, Matthew came running in with a few envelopes in hand.
"Mom, mail for you." I could've guessed that much. He walked towards me and handed me the mails. I wasn't really expecting anything, but bills or something related to the matter.
Dear Yugi,
Hello Yugi. It's me Joey. It's been a while since we sat down and talk like we used to. I was thinking that maybe we can make some plans to hang out today. Just get ready at 7:00 a.m. and I'll pick you up from your house. I want to apologize of what happened on your wedding day. Please don't hold that against Seto or me.
Best regards, Joey.
Want to apologize for my wedding day? I don't think he could something that bad that led Seto in this. I looked at Matthew. Maybe he might know.
"Matthew, do you know anything about me and your father's wedding day?"
He snickered. I don't like how this might turn out. He was holding in his laughter by covering his mouth. It seems to not be working very well. After a few snickering and chuckling, he calmed down to answer my question.
"I think it's best if I show you."
Leaving the comfort of my bed, Matthew led me to the living room where everyone is except Atemu.
"Everyone gather around."
That got their attention. Coming over to see what was going on, Matthew pulled out a DVD from behind the TV. I heard a gasp from Scarlet. Now, I'm getting worried.
As the DVD was in, the first thing that popped up was Atemu and me walking down the to the priest. What I didn't like was how come I was wearing a wedding dress. A guy is never supposed to wear a wedding dress. My face turned pale. As the vows were made and the ceremony almost coming to an end, Atemu and I were ready to cut the cake. When the knife was on the tip of the cake, Joey burst through the door along with an annoyed Seto.
"I object!" Joey shouted.
I was dumbstruck. There is now a new level of lateness and stupidity for Joey. Joey walked towards us with Seto behind him.
"Yugi, you can't marry a guy like Atemu!" He tried to reason.
"And why wouldn't he?" Atemu was trying to defend me.
"Because he love Yami." He smirked at Atemu. Atemu didn't look happy. He turned to me if what Joey was saying it true.
"Joey, I don't love Yami anymore. He has Heba now."
The smirk he has was gone. He searches to see if Yami was here. To his exception, he saw Yami along with Heba standing next to him.
"I don't believe this." He shouted.
Walking away, he slipped and landed on the table where the cake was located. Somehow, the cake flew off and landed on both Atemu and me on the face. One of the strangest moments I ever saw Seto do was he walking up to me, grabbed a bit of cake off my face, and eating it. This is something you don't see everyday.
"Uh oh." Joey wasn't expecting this too.
"Come on pup, before you cause more trouble." Seto grabbed Joey and dragged him out of the church.
This must be my most top embarrassing moment yet. Never knew the Joey would do anything to stop the wedding. As the DVD was finished, the doorbell ranged. Heba was the one to answer. Joey was standing there behind the door with a happy smile. The smile dropped when he glance at me.
"Joey!" I yelled.
He gulped.
lilbutterfly315: Well this is it. Sorry if it is short.
