LOL, I don't even know about this one. I got blind-sided with it, soo...well, it has Yugi, haha.
By the way, "The Princess and the Dragon" should be updated today, if not tomorrow. Thanks for your patience in that story!
Solomon is carrying a rather heavy box filled with the latest shipment of games for the shop and he can't put it down without risking injury, so he kicks the back door open; he takes deliveries in the back, where traffic will not be hampered by the large trucks. There is one thing that he has not taken into account, however—Yugi was standing on the other side of the door waiting for him when the door bangs into the toddler.
The force of the blow has the four year old tumbling backward in a bizarrely comical fashion, falling onto his back on the carpeted floor and coming to a halt a few feet away. He gazes up at his at his grandfather from this new upside-down position before he starts giggling. "Hi, G'ampa!"
Solomon, of course, is utterly horrified. "Yugi!" he cries, setting the box down and nearly throwing his back out in the process. He hurries over to the toddler and scoops him up, setting him on the edge of the sofa and anxiously starting to inspect him. "Yuugi, my boy, are you all right? Grandpa's so sorry!" he apologizes, feeling incredibly guilty.
Yugi does not seem fazed at all by what has just happened, instead beaming contentedly at the older man. "I fine, G'ampa," he announces cheerfully, completely unaware of the blood that's starting to drip from his nose. Solomon pales and instantly reaches for a handkerchief, pressing it to the child's nose as he starts profusely apologizing once again.
Yugi continues to remain unfazed and is humming some nameless tune. When the handkerchief is removed it's to find the child's still smiling broadly. "Guess what, G'ampa?" he asks brightly.
"What is it?"
Yugi holds up something small and white pinched in between his thumb and index fingers. Seconds pass before Solomon puts two and two together—Yugi's big smile is distinctly gap-toothed.
A fresh wave of guilt washes over Solomon. "Did that happen when I hit you with the door?"
Yugi's cherubic face scrunches. "No, siwwy! It felled out!" he states firmly, as if this should be the most obvious thing in the world. He studies the tooth in his hand for a long moment before a hopeful light enters his eyes and he asks, "Will the toof fewy come now?"
It takes him a moment before he remembers telling Yuugi about the Tooth Fairy the night before and he realizes that Yugi had been coming to tell him that he'd lost his tooth when he had hit the child with the door. "I think the Tooth Fairy most certainly will be coming to visit you," he says at last, dabbing at Yugi's nose with a touch of affection.
The following morning Yugi's delighted squeal echoes through the small house. The Tooth Fairy has been most generous to the toddler—in addition to the money under his pillow there's a brand new teddy bear lying next to him when he wakes up.
