Chapter 52- The Bachelor Party

Yugi and Heba were sitting in the kitchen at the table. There were all kinds of brochures, pamplets, magazines, and legal pads strewn out across the table.

"Okay. So, the caterer is all arranged, and so is the music. We also have all the floral arrangements made. We have the decorations planned out, we have the arch arranged, and we have everyone in the wedding party taken care of." Heba read from his list, putting a check by each item as read it off the list.

Yugi raised an eyebrow and said, "Heba, you do realize that you are forgetting one very important detail."

Heba glanced back at his list. "I don't see what it is. I mean, Seto's paying for the honeymoon, and Yami's the one who's planning all that out, so I don't think that there is anything I've missed." Heba replied.

Yugi sighed. "Heba, you've forgotten about the priest." Yugi pointed out.

"Good grief! How did I miss that one?" Heba exclaimed. He reached over and grabbed his cell phone real quick, dialing a number.

Yugi shook his head. He knew that his brother could be scattered-brained, but he never thought that his brother would forget such an essential part of the wedding.

Heba soon hung up. "Okay. That's arranged." Heba told him.

"Good." Yugi replied as he looked over everything. "We still have the rehearsal dinner that we're going to have to go through." Yugi commented.

Heba smiled. "There's nothing to that. Believe me. I know." Heba assured his brother.

"I'm not worried. I'll just be glad to get married to Yami." Yugi informed him.

The two then heard Andre start crying.

"Sounds like little Andre is up from his nap." Yugi stated.

"I noticed." Heba said as he stood up before he headed up the stairs to get his son.

Yugi looked back over the other details. He had had most things arranged beforehand. He was just double-checking things to make sure that there was nothing they had missed.

Yugi and Yami had been back home for a few weeks and were planning on getting married in July, but Yugi was making sure that everything was set for when the time came.

Heba came down a few moments later with a fussy Andre.

"I think he's fussier when he gets up from a nap than he is before he takes the nap." Yugi commented.

Heba groaned. "Just like his father."

Yugi laughed. "Atemu's mini-me?" Yugi asked.

"I guess." Heba answered. He tried to get Andre to settle down, but he wouldn't.

"Here. Let me see the little guy." Yugi told his brother, reaching for his nephew.

Heba handed Andre over to Yugi.

Yugi gently bounced Andre. "Its okay, Andre." Yugi told him.

"I'll get him a bottle. Maybe that will calm him down." Heba remarked before going to get a bottle ready.

Yugi smiled. He really did love his nephew, and he enjoyed being able to take care of him from time to time.

"You look rather comfy, Yugi."

Yugi looked up to see his fiancé and his brother-in-law standing there. "Is there a reason that I shouldn't feel comfortable holding my nephew, Atemu?" Yugi asked.

"No, but you look really comfortable with him. Maybe you should consider having a baby soon." Atemu suggested.

Yami slapped his brother in the back of the head.

"Ow!" Atemu exclaimed, jumping. He rubbed the back of his head as he glared at his brother. "What was that for?"

"Yugi and I aren't even married yet, and you already want us to have a child!" Yami snapped.

Atemu rolled his eyes. "Please. Heba and I were having a kid before we got married. I don't see the big deal." Atemu said.

Yugi laughed lightly. "Atemu, I would prefer to wait a while before Yami and I have kids. In fact, I'd much rather wait until we've both finished college and worked for a few years before we end up having a baby." Yugi told him.

"Which he knows." Heba stated as he walked over to his brother and handed him the bottle.

Yugi took the bottle and started to feed Andre, who seemed happy now that he was being fed.

"See!" Atemu gestured toward Yugi and Andre.

"Give it up already. Besides, Grandpa would knock you up one side and down the other is he heard you saying something like that." Heba reminded his husband.

"He doesn't mind all the great grandchildren that he has right now." Atemu pointed out.

Yami walked over and sat down at the table. "Maybe not, but you know that Grandpa wants me and Yugi to finish school before we start a family." Yami reminded him.

"I know." Atemu replied.

Yugi sighed before setting the bottle down. "Then please stop talking like that. Yami and I will start a family when we are ready to start a family." Yugi told him.

Atemu shrugged before heading upstairs.

Yugi shook his head.

Heba groaned. "That man annoys me to death some days." Heba stated.

Yami grinned at his brother-in-law. "But you love him to death." Yami pointed out.

"That I do." Heba agreed.

Yugi had burped Andre, who was very happy now.

"So, how goes the wedding plans?" Yami asked.

"They're fine. Everything is all planned out. All we have to do is get everything decorated for the wedding and the reception." Yugi answered.

"That's good." Yami remarked.

"So, where were you and Até at?" Heba asked.

Yami sighed. "We were with Bakura and Marik trying to rein them in as far as my bachelor party goes." Yami answered.

Yugi laughed. "How bad?" Yugi asked.

"Well, let's just say that there are three elements involved that make me dread it." Yami started.

"Which are?" Heba asked.

"Alcohol." Yami said, raising one finger. "Strippers." Yami had raised another finger. "And dancing." Yami raised a third finger.

Heba frowned. "What does dancing have to do with anything?" Heba asked.

"You've never heard of dirty dancing, have you?" Yami asked.

Heba blanched.

"Exactly." Yami stated, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms.

"So, basically, you're going to a strip club where there is dirty dancing and alcohol with Bakura and Marik who are known to do crazy things when they are drunk." Yugi stated. He still had Andre in his arms and was bouncing him slightly since Andre loved it when he was bounced.

"Yep." Yami answered, popping the "p".

Heba shook his head. "What about Seto and Atemu? What did they have to say about this?" Heba asked.

"Seto wasn't there. He had to work, so he had no input. All he said was that the place had to be tasteful and couldn't be one of those seedy joints." Yami replied.

"And Atemu?" Heba asked.

"He tried, but Marik and Bakura weren't going to be swayed. They said that this was the only bachelor party that they were going to be able to throw, so they were going to do it right." Yami answered.

"Well, as long as none of you do anything too crazy, I suppose it's all right." Yugi said.

"Yeah." Heba agreed, although he was a little more hesitant about that.

"Well, Joey and Tristan are going, so you now that they aren't going to be any help in that aspect. And Mokuba's going, too, so he might be able to help with that, but he'll only be able to help so much." Yami stated.

Yugi smiled. "You'll figure it out." Yugi stated.

"I hope so." Yami muttered.


~One Month Later, June 28th~

Yami, Atemu, Bakura, Marik, Seto, Joey, Tristan, and Mokuba were all heading for the club that Bakura and Marik had decided to have the bachelor party at.

Yami leaned over at his brother and said, "Any chance that they decided not to go with a strip club?"

Atemu sighed. "There's not much of a chance of that.' Atemu answered.

Yami hung his head. He knew that he was screwed.

"So, why didn't you two bring Malik and Ryou along?" Mokuba asked.

"Ry would've been a real party crasher. He wouldn't have let me drink or have any fun at all." Bakura grumbled.

Marik grinned. "Malik is fun when he's drunk." Marik stated.

"How did you figure that out?" Tristan asked.

"Simple. He got pregnant the night he was drunk." Marik answered.

Everyone groaned.

"We don't need those mental images, you deranged Yami!" Seto barked.

"I enjoy them." Marik retorted, shrugging.

"WE DON'T!" everyone shouted.

"We're here!" Bakura told them in a singsong voice.

Everyone got out and looked up at the name of the club.

The club's neon sign read The Point.

"The Point?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. We've heard that it's great. They serve any kind of alcohol that you can think of. Plus, they have shows every night." Bakura stated.

Atemu and Yami both groaned.

"What gender?" Tristan asked.

"Yeah. Not all of us are gay." Mokuba added.

Seto glared at his younger brother. "Meaning?" Seto demanded.

Mokuba held up his hands. "No offense, Seto, but not all of us like the sight of another naked man." Mokuba told him.

"Don't worry, shrimp. This place does both." Bakura told him.

"Let's go." Mokuba said.

The entire group headed inside.

The music was already blaring, there were people out on the dance floor dancing, there were several strippers dancing, and there was alcohol everywhere.

"Now this is exactly the kind of place I want to be." Bakura started.

Atemu glanced at Yami and said, "Heba told me that if either one of us got drunk, he's personally castrate us both." Atemu warned his brother.

Yami gulped. "He'd do it, too." Yami stared.

"Without hesitation." Atemu clarified.

"What does he think we're going to do?" Yami asked.

The two virtually had to shout so that they could be heard over the sound of blaring, pounding music.

"He just doesn't want us to get drunk and do something that we might later end up regret." Atemu answered.

"Good point." Yami agreed.

The group had gone and sat down at a couple of tables.

It wasn't long before a round of beers was brought over to them.

"Drink up!" Bakura shouted as he grabbed his and took a swig.

"This is a bachelor party, Bakura!" Seto snapped at him.

"So?" Bakura asked.

Joey shoo his head. "We're supposed to toast to Yami." Joey said.

Yami raised a hand. "It's fine." Yami told him.

"Come on! We're here to celebrate the end of your bachelorhood!" Marik shouted.

Everyone raised their beers to Yami before drinking.

Yami rubbed his head. He didn't really want to be here because bachelor parties were for people who were upset to see their days as an unmarried man go. He wasn't unhappy about that in the least. In fact, he was beyond thrilled to be getting married to Yugi.

There was sudden Moroccan type music.

"What the-" Atemu started.

The group looked and saw a woman dressed in Moroccan type clothes come out dancing.

"A stripper!" Tristan exclaimed, raising his beer to her.

Yami shook his head. He couldn't believe that he had been roped into coming. He didn't need to see another naked person, man or woman, other than Yugi. He'd have to see enough of that as a doctor.

Tristan and Mokuba were having fun watching her as she danced.

Atemu glanced over at Yami. "Yugi and Heba are going to murder us." Atemu mouthed.

"Not as long as we don't do anything wrong." Yami replied before drinking. "Although I might have to consider chancing Heba castrating me and get drunk. It'll be the only way I get through this without ending up murdering Bakura and Marik." Yami stated.

"I agree." Atemu added.


Yugi and Heba were in the living room of the Game Shop.

Despite the fact that Heba and Atemu had their own place now, Heba had decided to come over with Andre since he knew that Yugi was there alone.

Solomon had left to visit a friend in another city for a few days, so Yugi and Yami were alone in the Game Shop for the time being.

"So, do you think Yami will behave himself?" Heba asked.

Yugi laughed. "I expect Yami will get himself drunk." Yugi said.

Heba's eyes widened. "And you're happy about that?" Heba exclaimed.

Yugi smiled. "Heba, Yami will get himself drunk to make it through the night. He's not a fan of strip clubs, so he'll deal with it by drinking." Yugi answered.

"And you're not worried?" Heba asked.

"Heba, I trust Yami, and I know that he's not going to betray me in any way, shape, or form. Besides, Yami's idea of drunk is drinking two or three drinks. On occasion, he might drink four. That's about it." Yugi answered.

"And he doesn't get drunk?" Heba asked.

"Nope." Yugi answered.

"Wow. And I thought getting drunk meant he got wasted." Heba stated.

"He did that, he would die." Yugi answered. He then started to flip through a magazine.

"So, where's the honeymoon?" Heba asked.

Yugi smiled. "Fiji." Yugi answered.

Heba's eyes widened. "And Seto's paying for it?" Heba asked.

"He's letting us stay in a house by the beach that he owns." Yugi answered.

"Ah! That's quite the honeymoon." Heba stated.

"Don't I know it." Yugi answered. He smirked and said, "I'm going to enjoy every moment of that honeymoon."

"I know I did." Heba said, taking a sip of his drink.

Yugi smiled. He knew that he would enjoy his honeymoon with Yami. Not just because he would be in Fiji, but because he would be with Yami, who would be his husband by then.

The doorbell rang.

Yugi stood up and went to answer the door. He wasn't all that surprised to find Malik and Ryou on the doorstep. "Come on in." Yugi stepped aside to let them into the room.

Malik and Ryou walked in.

Heba smiled when he saw his friends and their kids. "Can I assume that you decided to come over here since your husbands are off at Yami's bachelor party?" Heba asked.

"Of course." Ryou answered.

Beth, now four, ran over. "Hi, Uncle Heba." Beth said, her eyes shining.

Heba chuckled. "Hello, Beth. How are you tonight?" Heba asked.

"I'm fine." Beth answered.

"And Angel?" Heba asked, looking at Malik.

Malik and Marik had a three-month old daughter named Angel Ann Ishtar. She had their tanned skin, platinum blonde hair, and her eyes were a lighter lavender color like Malik's were.

"She's doing fine." Malik answered as he sat down on the couch with her.

Ryou also sat down.

"No plans for another one, Ryou?" Yugi asked.

"Um, well-" Ryou trailed off, blushing.

"Does Bakura know you're pregnant?" Heba asked.

"Not yet. I haven't told him yet." Ryou answered.

"You'd better tell him soon." Yugi stated.

Ryou glanced over at Yugi.

Yugi motioned toward Beth. "She might let it slip." Yugi explained.

"Probably." Ryou agreed.

Heba frowned before he looked at his friends. "Who has Seth?" Heba asked.

Seth was Joey and Seto's six-month-old son. Seth looked Seto to a T.

"Serenity. She was more than happy to baby-sit for Seth while they went out." Malik answered.

"So, are you ready to take care of your hung-over husbands?" Yugi asked.

Ryou and Malik both groaned.

"Not looking forward to it, huh?" Heba asked.

"Not in the least." Ryou answered.


Back at the club, Yami and Atemu were sitting at their table still drinking.

Seto and Joey had gone out on the dance floor together to dance, although as drunk as they were it was more staggering than dancing.

Mokuba and Tristan were both watching the female strippers and shouting at them as well as throwing money.

Bakura and Marik were nowhere in sight, although it was probably better not knowing where the two were at the time.

Yami rubbed his head. "I'm getting a headache from this loud music!" Yami shouted.

"I know what you mean! I don't see how they enjoy this!" Atemu added.

The two looked over at where Seto and Joey were.

"Well, being plastered has probably helped them!" Yami stated.

Atemu shook his head. "Serenity will have her work cut out for her! She has to take care of three hung-over grown men along with a six month old!" Atemu said.

"Glad I'm not her!" Yami added.

The finished up what was their third drink of the night.

Yami shook his head. "I'd better not drink anymore." Yami muttered to himself.

Atemu had the same thought.

Neither of them really wanted to get drunk. It just wasn't their thing.

"You know, we'd better go and find Bakura and Marik before they do something stupid!" Atemu told his brother.

Yami looked over at his brother with a raised eyebrow.

"Before they do anything else stupid!" Atemu corrected himself, realizing that chances were that Bakura and Marik had already done something stupid.


Bakura staggered up the stairs to the roof. He glanced back and growled, "Hurry up, Marik!"

Marik, staggering even more than Bakura was, held tightly to the rail as he climbed the stairs. He was certain he would fall down the stairs if he did not keep his grip on the railing. "What are we doing again?" Marik asked.

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Listen up next time, dolt! We're going to pull a prank." Bakura stated.

"Malik said he'd kill me if I used Shadow magic in any way that causes damage." Marik reminded him.

Bakura reached the top of the stairs and opened the door. "We're just going to throw a stink bomb down the vent." Bakura reminded.

"Oh. Right." Marik agreed.

Bakura shook his head. He couldn't believe how much of an idiot his best friend could be at times. He put the backpack that he was holding down and unzipped it before he took out the stink bomb.

Marik snickered. "This'll be good." Marik stated.

Bakura smirked. "I know it will be." Bakura replied. He walked, or rather stumbled, over to the ventilator system and opened the vent.

Marik rubbed his hands together, anticipating this.

"NO!"

Before Bakura was able to throw the stink bomb into the vent, it was grabbed and jerked away from him roughly.

"Hey!" Bakura snarled, turning to face whoever had just dared to spoil his fun.

Yami glared at Bakura. "I did not agree to a bachelor party to have you two drunken idiots cause a riot in there!" Yami snapped angrily.

"It was a harmless prank." Bakura retorted flippantly.

Atemu shook his head. "There's a ton of drunken patrons in the club. That would cause a riot." Atemu informed him. He thought about that for a moment. "Than again, no one might notice even how wasted most people are."

"Let's fine out!" Marik suggested.

"NO!" Yami growled.

"But-" Marik started.

"NO!" Yami repeated.

"Just this-" Bakura tried.

"NO! NO! NO! AND NO!" Yami told them.

"Party pooper." Bakura mumbled.

Yami rubbed his head. He really needed this bachelor party to end.


Yugi was still up reading when Yami walked into their room. He smiled at his fiancé and said, "So, how was the party?"

"Well, I saw three men and two women strip naked in front of a crowd of strangers. I drank three drinks while I was there. I stopped Bakura and Marik from throwing a stink bomb into the ventilator system. And Bakura, Marik, Seto, and Mokuba all threw up in the limo on the way home." Yami replied before he collapsed face first on the bed.

Yugi closed his book before he started to rub Yami's back. "No fun, huh?" Yugi asked.

Yami groaned. "No."

Yugi then realized something. "Why did Bakura and Marik want to throw a stink bomb into the ventilator system?" Yugi asked.

"I don't know." Yami mumbled into the pillow.

Yugi smiled before he kissed the back of Yami's head. "You go ahead and sleep. At least you won't have a hangover." Yugi told him.

"Atemu won't, either." Yami replied.

"Atemu didn't drink much?" Yugi asked.

Yami looked at him. "Heba told Atemu that if wither one of us drank too much, he would castrate both of us, and I don't think that it was an idle threat." Yami answered.

Yugi pursed his lips before nodding his head. "That sounds like my brother." Yugi agreed.


The following day, Yugi was sitting in the kitchen with Heba, Ryou, Malik, Serenity, and Tea.

"I am never letting Tristan go out with Bakura and Marik ever again!" Tea growled angrily.

"I know! Seto, Joey, and Mokuba were all completely wasted! And it was harder to take care of those three than Seth! And he's four months old!" Serenity exclaimed.

Ryou sighed. "Yami told me about the stink bomb incident. I'm glad that they stopped them." Ryou stated.

"Look at it this way. They won't get another chance at throwing a bachelor party." Yugi told them.

"You forget Tristan." Malik pointed out.

"No! After this, I am not letting Tristan have one!" Tea stated firmly.

Heba laughed. "Atemu took my threat seriously." Heba stated.

Yugi shook his head. He couldn't believe that they were gossiping about their significant others like this.

"So, is the wedding planned?" Tea asked, changing the subject.

"Completely. All we have to do is get everything set up when that Friday comes." Yugi answered.

"So, everyone will be married except for me ad Tea." Serenity stated.

"Well, I'm waiting for Tristan to pop the question. I'm hoping he'll ask me any day now." Tea said.

"Well, we're all hoping he will." Malik told her.

Tea smiled. "Thanks." Tea told them.

"In any case, I'd better go and nurse my husband's hangover." Ryou said, standing up.

"Me, too." Malik agreed.

"I have three to take care of.' Serenity added.

"You two are lucky." Tea told Yugi and Heba.

Heba and Yugi smiled, knowing that they were lucky that Atemu and Yami didn't get themselves drunk.


Hope you liked it.

Next: The wedding.

R&R.
