Author's note: This was a drabble gone horribly wrong. I just couldn't fit what I wanted to say into a hundred words, but it's still rather short because any more would've been too much. And Wada Calcium CD3? Go ask the folks at 30 Kisses why it's a theme. I'm just following orders. ;)

#28 Wada Calcium CD3

"You okay?"

Shizuka was absently fiddling with a small white bottle as they sat at the kitchen table. "What is this stuff? 'Wada Calcium CD3'?" she asked, reading the label and avoiding Jounouchi's question.

"I dunno. Something Gramps takes. It's for his bones or something."

She looked up at him. "Does it ever seem weird, living with someone else's grandfather?"

He shrugged. "I like it. Listen Sis, about what happened in the coffee shop—"

"It must be different, living here," she cut him off, then she looked up at him. "You know, Katsuya, sometimes I get so mad at Mom for what she did to you. Sometimes I even have trouble forgiving her for it. But for me… she was always there for me. I always had someone who wanted me. You, though, with him…." Her face darkened into an angry scowl.

"It's ancient history, okay? It's all good now," he told her, reaching out to touch her hand.

"Still…"

"Oh, hello kids," Yugi's grandfather said, coming into the kitchen from the store downstairs, "I didn't know you were back. Did you have a nice day off?"

Jounouchi and Shizuka traded glances then Jounouchi said, "Yeah, it was fine."

Grandpa leaned against the kitchen counter beside the table. "Hey listen, I was thinking. I know you kids have better things to do than hang out with an old man, but if you're free tonight, maybe, I thought we could rent a DVD and pop some popcorn. Not very exciting, I know, but, well, if you didn't have anything planned," he shrugged, somewhat sheepishly.

Abruptly, Shizuka got up from her seat, the chair making a loud screech as it scraped back along the kitchen floor. She went over to Yugi's grandfather and bent down to give him a soft kiss on the cheek, then turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Grandpa put his hand to his cheek, stunned. "What was that for?" he asked Jounouchi.

Jounouchi had half a mind to kiss the old man himself. "It means we'd love to watch a movie with you, Gramps."
