Love Among Friends

Chapter 3: Yami is Santa Clause and Chocolate War #1

Yugi stuck his hand in the bowl and when it emerged it was covered in chocolate. Yami watched as Yugi started to lick the chocolate from his fingers.

//Hey, I want some of that!// Yami said.

Yami scooted closer and started sucking the delicious chocolate from Yugi's fingers. Yugi moaned in delight. Suddenly the sugar kicked in and Yugi started bouncing around the room (literally).

/LetsplayagameIwannaplayagameCanwepleaseplayagame?/Yugi asked excitedly, jumping up and down.

Yami blinked. It took him a minute to figure out what Yugi said.

He stopped to think for a moment. If he said no, Yugi would just get into other mischief and maybe even get hurt…He shook his head. His job was to protect his light and Yugi getting hurt was out of the question.

//Sure…why not?//Yami replied reluctantly, wondering what his aibou had in mind. //What kind of game?//

/NowYamiYoucan'texpectmetotellyouthat'cauzitwouldruinthewholeeffectanditwouldn'tbeasurpriseanymore/Yugi giggled. /Nowcloseyoureyesanddon'tpeek'cauzI'llknowifyourpeeking/

Yami knew it was a bad idea, but he did as Yugi told him. He slid into a kitchen chair and closed his eyes although something in the back of his mind told him he would regret it.

Yugi's tiny footprints were heading toward the refrigerator.

/Now what could Yugi possibly want from the refrigerator…//Yami wondered. Then it dawned on him. //the whipped cream!//Yami had suddenly remembered that Solomon had wanted to make everyone ice cream sundaes and had had leftover whipped cream.

A moment later, he heard the refrigerator door closing and the sound of a container of whipped cream being squirted on something nearby. Then he felt something soft and creamy being sprayed on his chin.

/OkayYoucanopenyoureyesnow./

Yami suddenly had a feeling that he was not going to like what he was going to see when he opened his eyes.

Yugi had managed to find a hand mirror and handed it to Yami.

/YoulookjustlikeSantaClause!See,Youhavethewhitebeardandthewhitehair…/Yugi explained.

Yami had to bite his lip so he wouldn't scream. His innocent little aibou had covered his hair and chin with whipped cream. He had spent so much time on his hair, and now the effect would be ruined. He sighed.

/Letsplayanotherkindofgame//Yugi giggled. Without waiting for an answer, he had grabbed the bowl of leftover chocolate and started hurling it at Yami. Since Yami had his back turned, the first few handfuls connected with the back of his leather shirt. Luckily, he realized what his aibou was doing and got up quickly. Using his lightning quick reflexes, he was able to dodge the other chocolate that was being hurled at him but the wall behind him was unable to do the same and therefore was quickly covered in chocolate.

Yami ran toward Yugi and grabbed his tiny chocolate filled hand before he could throw anymore chocolate.

//What do you think you're doing?//Yami said angrily. //You're making a huge mess! Stop it right now!//

He stood there with his hands on his hips, feeling like a parent.

Yugi looked up at Yami, with a sincere look of apology on his face. His violet eyes starting to brim with tears. /I'm sorry…/ The sugar was starting to wear off, just a tad.

At Yugi's tearful apology, Yami felt his anger instantly fade away, and he felt bad for causing Yugi unhappiness. He could tell by his light's actions that he was truly sorry.

//I'm sorry, aibou. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did.// Yami said. He knelt down to hug Yugi and plant a kiss on his forehead. Yugi wiped away his oncoming tears and giggled happily.

//Now we have to clean up the kitchen before Grandpa gets home.//Yami thought unhappily. He slowly walked in the direction of the sink.

/Okay!Okay!Okay!/Yugi chirped. The full effects of the sugar hadn't worn off yet. Yugi started hopping after Yami.

//On second thought, maybe you should just sit in the living room…// Yami suggested. Yugi had caught up and had seized him around the waist.

/Don't leave me…/Yugi begged as Yami tried to detach him.

//Fine, you can help..//Yami said before being interrupted by a cheer from Yugi. //but let's at least be dignified about it..//

Yugi refused to loosen his grip and so a couple minutes had passed before Yami had successfully detached Yugi. He then scooped him off the floor and carried him toward the sink, so he could help him wash the chocolate off his hands.

Hope you like! As always, R/R!
