Chapter 7 - A Short Day *******************
Oh, the suspense!
^_~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just a little recap of last chapter:
"I'm sure all of you must be pretty anxious right now for the test results. Well, I have them right here." He patted his small notebook that lay on his desk. He bit his lip before continuing. "Well, here it is-" He paused a moment, and opened the notebook before continuing his sentence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The results were all quite surprising to myself and the nurse that aided me during the tests." The doctor paused, and continued. "We found no traces of Cancer whatsoever."
Yugi's head shot up, his face was full of happiness, and tears of happiness shone on his pale face. Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist, a smile appearing onto his face. Their grandpa was completely shocked beyond all belief, his jaw dropped, and he raised his eyebrows.
"Whoever must have tested your grandfather must've not been a fully qualified doctor or nurse." The doctor smiled, and put his notebook back down onto the desk. "This is the best part of my job." The doctor wiped a tear from his eye, and led them out of his small office. "Have a good day, now." He waved them goodbye, and all three of them had smiles on their faces. Even Yami.
Yugi jumped around excitedly, grinning from ear to ear. "Wee!" Yugi screamed as he ran around his Grandpa. Luckily, Yami grabbed the back of his shirt before he gave the poor old man a heart attack. Sometimes Yugi's childish behaviour surprised even himself. They walked back home in silence. But it was a good silence, one full of joy and happiness.
****A Few Months Later (December)****
"Yugi! Yami! Time to get up!" Their grandpa yelled out from downstairs, clearly annoyed.
"Uh oh." Yugi mumbled as he turned over to see the numbers on his alarm clock. He rubbed his eyes, jumped out of bed, grabbed his clothes, and ran into the bathroom, just beating the Pharaoh. He jumped into the shower, and shivered as freezing cold water came into contact with his skin. He was washed and dressed in nearly under four minutes. He ran out of the bathroom, smiling at Yami, who went in after him. Yugi ran downstairs, and into the kitchen, his hair still dripping.
"Yugi!" His grandpa exclaimed as he saw Yugi's hair dripping onto the carpet. "Well I see that my plan worked. But please, Yugi, dry your hair." He tossed a towel at Yugi, who caught it reluctantly. "And when you're done, come into the kitchen, breakfast is ready."
"Plan? What plan?" Yugi raised his eyebrows as he finished drying the last of his hair. He followed his grandpa into the kitchen. Yugi sat down in his usual spot, and looked down at the plate full of eggs, bacon, and toast. "B-but I'm going to be late for-" He stopped talking when he looked up at the clock on the wall. It read 7 O'clock.
"Yes, I took the liberty of changing the time on your alarm clock when you were out the other day. In fact, I made sure that you would be out the other day." Yugi blushed, and stuffed a forkful of eggs into his mouth. He swallowed before he opened his mouth to speak.
"Good morning." Yami said cheerily as he entered the kitchen, and sat down next to Yugi at the table. Yugi glared at him. "What?"
"Were you in on it, too?" Yugi asked suspiciously.
"In? In on what?" Yami said with a confused expression on his face.
"No, he wasn't. Not completely." Yugi turned to look at his grandpa. "Well, I got the idea from something he had said earlier this week." Yugi sighed in defeat.
"You're up early today, Yugi." Yami remarked, and took a bite out of his piece of toast. Yugi sighed, and finished off the rest of his food in silence. "Good thing, though. Today's the last day of school." Yami smiled as he pushed his plate away from him.
"Oh yeah!" Yugi smiled, jumped up from the table, and ran out of the kitchen. "I wrapped everyone's presents last night!" Came Yugi's muffled voice from the family room.
He ran back into the kitchen with a big bag full of wrapped presents and candy. Yami raised an eyebrow at his light, and Yugi laughed.
"And don't worry. I put both of our names on them so that you don't have to go and buy them something, too." Yugi smiled, and sat down again. Yami's cheeks turned a light pink colour, and looked somewhat guilty.
"We should probably go now." Yami said softly, and got up. He suddenly smiled. "Thanks for breakfast." He turned and looked at Yugi's grandpa as he spoke.
"Yeah, thanks, grandpa!" Yugi's smile widened, and he took both his and Yami's plates, and put them in the sink. "Well, see you later, grandpa!" Yugi smiled, and he followed Yami into the front hall. They put on their jackets and shoes, and grabbed their bags before they left.
"Goodbye!" Their grandpa waved goodbye to them Yugi ran down the street, Yami following close behind.
"Why - are - we - running?" Yami panted as he tried to catch up with Yugi.
"I want to be really early today! We only have half a day of school! I can't wait!" Yugi exclaimed happily as he came to a stop as they waited to cross the road. Yami nearly ran into Yugi, but slipped on a patch of ice and fell. They both ended up laughing so hard that they both ended up on the ground while cars zoomed by. They finally caught their breath, and stood up, wiping the snow off of their pants.
They crossed the road, Yugi still giggling, and walked up the sidewalk and into their school.
Yugi dragged Yami all around the school as he dropped off presents to a few teachers, and passed out candy canes to some of his friends.
"That's a lot of candy canes." Yami remarked as he looked into Yugi's bag of presents. Yugi blushed.
"I know. You want one?" Yugi pulled a candy cane from his bag, and handed it to Yami, who eyed it suspiciously. "It's only candy, Yami, it won't bite." Yugi teased and laughed a bit. Yami pocketed the sweet treat, and continued following his Yugi until they finally arrived at their first class, and just in time for the bell.
At the end of the morning, Yugi was so excited that Yami felt the excitement emanating from his lighter half.
"C'mon, Yami! We've got lots to do when we get back!" Yugi dragged Yami back to the Game Shop, and back into their warm home.
"Like what?" Yami asked in complete and utter confusion.
"For starters we can put up the tree!" Yugi grinned, and ran upstairs before Yami could open his mouth to speak.
"Tree?" Yami scratched the side of his head in thought. "Oh! Christmas tree! Right. Forgot about that." Yami shook his head. "How could I have forgotten.?" He muttered.
"And later we can do a little more shopping!" Yugi called out from upstairs, and Yami turned to see Yugi dragging a box down the stairs.
It took nearly three hours for them to put up the tree and decorate it, but they finally got it done. Yami was completely clueless as to why they hadn't done it sooner. He liked to spend time with his Aibou.
"I can't wait 'til Christmas!" Yugi exclaimed, clapping his hands together excitedly. "I can't wait!" Yugi yawned.
"Someone's awfully tired. You haven't stopped yawning since you woke up this morning." Remarked Yami, as he eyes Yugi suspiciously.
"I know, I stayed up really late wrapping everybody's presents." Yugi yawned again.
"Maybe you should take a nap." Yami smirked.
"Good idea." Yugi stretched his arms, and walked upstairs to his room. Unknown to him, Yami was several feet behind his hikari, watching his every move. Yugi paused before he slipped into his bed, and laughed. "If you're tired too, Yami, you can always take a nap, too." Yugi didn't even turn around. But he had heard the soft yawn from the hallway. Yami's cheeks burned with embarrassment, but he walked into Yugi's room, closing the door behind him.
Yugi climbed into bed, and patted the side next to him, looking at Yami with a smile on his face. Yami smiled back, climbed under the covers, and wrapped his arms around his aibou's waist. Soon both the yami and hikari were fast asleep in each other's arms.
