DING DONG: ~ Tanaka is Yugi Muto in?~
The English teacher looks around and spots the tricoloured haired 17 year old male and youngest in their senior year but also an A student and secretly one of his favourites because the kid works hard. He presses a button and responds. "Yeah he's here." He chuckles softly because only just a little while ago he needed to give him a firm warning for swearing a bit loudly when his laptop shut down suddenly.
~Dartz wants to see him. Send him over now, takes maybe 30.~
"Sure."
The whole class turned to the tricoloured haired male some oohing and others whispering loudly "What did he do?" but Yugi himself didn't know, he just got scolded by his teacher because his laptop shut down and he cussed a bit too loudly, he cannot help it as his laptop is a very old model and ready for renewal if only he and his grandfather could afford it, is that really a reason to send him to the headmaster? He can't help it he could only afford this second hand oldie… he was happy with it, since his friend Joey needed to work with the school computers and they were older than his laptop, too old to run the proper program.
"Muto leave your stuff behind and go." His English teacher said handing him a hall pass and turned to the class to silence them while Yugi walked outside.
Walking to the headmasters office when called over like he knew most of the times nothing good, so he cannot understand why, his grades were good… well most of them, he knows he is failing P.E. badly but he is sure with all the A's he gets he manage to kick that one up also? Or maybe there is something wrong with his gramps? Ra he hopes not, if he loses him now he would not know what to do with himself, loosing Atem was hard enough.
Hmm he missed Atem, it is only a month ago when he had that duel that changed his life, and right now, he feels empty, his head is swimming in nothing but air simply because he misses his dear friend… no not just friend, also his crush. Yes he admits it himself he is no longer straight, hell he even doesn't look towards woman anymore. And he still is beating himself up with how to tell his friends and grandfather. But he strongly believes he is gay….
While thinking all the way towards headmaster Dartz office he doesn't realise he arrived sooner than suspected. He takes a deep breath… inhale…. Exhale… inhale…. Exhale. And knocks the door, a enter sounds and Yugi opens the door. "You wish to see me sir?" he asks politely and then sees till his surprise his grandfather is sitting in the most right chair and the left one is open for him. Confused as Yugi is he blurred out. "Grandpa? Why are you here?"
"Sit down Muto, we have some things to discuss." The headmaster beats his grandfather and points towards the empty chair. Yugi walks over and sees a yellow map with his name on it. panic is gripping on him, is he in trouble? For what? What did he do wrong? Is that one spat 10 or so minutes ago in class enough to give him detention?
"Yugi, calm down." he hears his grandfather says sternly, and he tries to relax his breathing. His grandfather placing his hand on his grandson's lap and gently smiling to encourage him that it's nothing serious but something that needs to be discussed.
"Yugi the reason why we called you over, and I called your grandfather is to discuss your grades, you are a good student but P.E. is clearly your weak spot you have an F on that one, since entering this school that grade stayed low, you also don't have any afterschool activities except for Duel monsters and even with that you lack the past month." The headmaster says while taking out a paper out the yellow folder and sliding it over towards Yugi, indeed he sees all his classes he scores an A, English, Arabic and ancient history he even scores A but P.E. had a thick red F.
"But sir if my other classes are good enough, can't you putt some of those grades in P.E. to make it a D at least to pass?" Yugi asks because he knows they will do it with students when they are too far behind on one class.
"No. and the reason for that is because we are to early in the year to achieve that already, we try to catch those early and try to manage out a plan how to fix it. and your grandfather agrees with me… in order to fix your P.E. grade you will go this week and search for an afterschool sport fitting for your psychics, couch Monty knows I send you towards him and he will help you find a sport fitting for you."
"But what if those don't work out?"
"Then we have a backup plan ready, you have a week. You may return to class now." mister Dartz says waving him out. Yugi has a newfound respect for the man since he was cured from the Orichalcos, the old headmaster retired and he took over making amazing changes on school already.
Yugi stands and bows to the teal haired man and then turns to his grandfather "See you home gramps." He says and hugs the old man before walking back to class.
The old man waits until his grandson is out and then turns to the teal haired male. "A week, don't you think that is a bit much for him?"
"No, the boy is distant since the start of the year, I think it will do him good if he takes this serious. It sure will take his head more of, of the pharaoh."

Why was it so hard? Yes entering a team sport should be easy, but even with his sudden grow spurt last month he still is the smallest in class, he is now half a head smaller than Anzu, but still… he is too small to fit in a team with bulks of men and he realises it when another ball hits him on the head square. Falling backwards from the blow he hears the whistle from couch Monty seeing him waving towards Yugi, trying his hardest to stand up he limps towards him.
"Muto this isn't working, here go to couch Mai, maybe she can help you out." The couch says and hands Yugi a slip. With a sigh he limps towards the showers. He opens his locker and grabs his shower stuff before walking towards a stall. Yugi is one of the few boys using a stall, his classmates often show their junk towards each other, and not that he is little or big down there but he believes his manhood is to show to the one he can love for the rest of his life, and before that he tries to hide it as much as possible.
a sudden blush appears on his face and he ducks into a stall opening the shower to warm up while he undresses himself, he realises that his dear friend Atem knows about his peanut gallery because whenever the pharaoh needed to take over Yugi's body still functioned like normal, and when he was asleep in his soul room, Atem simply took the liberty to go to the bathroom when needed, he even took use of it when Yugi was taken away by the seal of Orichalcos.
After the shower he dresses himself in his sweatpants since it's after school and he enjoys not to have to wear his school gear until the next day. With a sigh he gathers the courage. "Better get over with this while I'm still here." He says and with less of a limp he walks towards miss Mai's office and politely knocks the door.
"Enter." Is called out and he enters the room politely bowing to the swim coach, friend and also a duel monsters rival of him. He smiles towards her and he smiles back. "Ah Yugi, how can I help you?"
Still a bit shy around the female he does not know how to say this right away. "I'm failing P.E. badly and needed to report by you." He blurred out bluntly.
She looks stumped for a bit and then smiles. Yugi always blurred out things like this when uncomfortable. "Okay, but as I have heard they send those towards Monty first." She says with a gentle smile. "Seeing you here means he cannot help you fixing your grade?"
"True, but I try Mai, I really do… I just somehow can't manage." He says strongly but ends with a whisper.
"Even I needed to try, and if Monty sends you to me, he still sees some potential in you. Seeing your hear is still damp I take you already showered?" she asks and he simply responds with a nod. "Then go home, I see you tomorrow after school, do you have a speedo?"
"S…S...Speedo?" Yugi stutters "You mean those things that barely cover my… my… um… pride?!" he gestures towards his manhood with a bright red face.
Mai looks towards Yugi and starts laughing. "You also have speedo's like tight boxes, most of my male swimmers have them." Mai says with a sigh. Come on seeing your face you have no idea what you need." She says and takes the boy along not worried she will be getting in trouble, they know the two are friends and rivals and often enough Mia offers him a ride home.
The two head to the mall and they go to the sports store, Mai explains a clerk what she is looking for Yugi and he takes a close look. "You wear the kind of boxers that lets it swing? Or keeps it in place?" he asks boldly.
"What has that to do with me buying a …."
"Everything kid, mostly size. You can whisper it if you don't want her to know." the clerk speaks softly in his ear.
"I have those that keep it in place." The boy whispers embarrassed. "but when I swim I have trunks, won't they do?"
"No sorry for free time trunks are fine, for sport they prefer tight stuff so it doesn't bother, what's your size in them?"
"umm. MS. Small around the waist Medium for the peanut gallery." Yugi responds with a grumble and a fiery red face because Mai looked up when he mentioned the size of his size. She probably thought he was the size of a pinkie with his length, yeah that's always the thing they don't realise, if the boy is small his equipment doesn't always have to be just as little.
"Then you simply need small, swimwear is always preferred one size smaller than regular wear." The clerk says and walks towards the speedo shorts. "Any preferable colour?"
"Black. The colour of the logo doesn't matter as long as the pants is black." Mai responds
The two males and Mai start to roam the rack and set on three speedo shorts one with a yellow logo, one with a blue logo, and one with a purple logo, then they push Yugi in a stall and he starts fitting. All three shorts fit like a charm. She also wants him to buy a tight bathing cap in order to keep his wild hair out of the way. After the purchase they drive off to the game-shop.
"Yugi I already noticed you are blessed with light hair on your legs, but in order to prevent trouble I want you to shave down there, many of my boys complained of pain down there because a hair grew in." Mai speaks up when they stop in front of the game-shop. Yugi nods and releases a smirk, he doesn't have hair down there and is still as smooth as the day he was born.
"I will thanks Mai, anything else I need to know?"
"Try to fix your hear in a braid, that will make it easier to push it under the cap, if necessary I ask the girls if they can help you, that's it for now, tomorrow we start with water polo and from there we see what calls your name." she says while he gets out. With a nod he closes the car door and walks towards the game-shop greeting his grandfather before going to his room and doing homework.

A sharp whistle sounds through the pool and Yugi knows he is finished with his laps. Half a year has passed since he was forced into doing a team-sport and since then three times a week he goes to competition swimming and diving, he took allot of enjoyment out of both swim-sports and even grew some muscles because of that. The days he is off he goes out with his friends talking about all kind of stuff but keep the old days as much as possible on the back of their minds.
"Good job Yugi! A new record. Okay kids gather around I have some exiting news!" Mai calls the class together. The few who were doing their warming ups stop and walk over while Yugi and the rest who are already in the water swim over, with ease Yugi lifts himself up and walks to his towel swinging it over his shoulders. His grandfather was pleased when he heard Yugi was accepted into two of Mai's teams and it gives him the freedom to simply stay home when Mai keeps the team longer because of a scout coming over. He knows she will drop Yugi off safe and sound.
"Okay boys and girls, since our lucky charm entered our group half a year ago we finally managed, we are excepted for the school Olympics!" Mai says excited while dropping her hand on Yugi's shoulder and gently squeezes them. She smiles it was only four months ago Yugi was struggling to get off his school jacket and she needed to help him out, she had send him to the school-nurse and after a measurement her suspicion was confirmed. Yugi is growing some mild but still firm muscles in his arms and shoulders, and over the months he kept forming muscles and needed a few times go for a new uniform jacket.
She admires the boy, it looks good on him, he even starts to lose his boyish look, his face turns a bit sharper and his eyes turned a bit rectangular, thankfully she still sees the boys playfulness when they are having fun in the pool and he jumps on his classmates with determination to dunk them under water. Yes it was good for him to enter the competition swimming team and also the diving team, but besides all of that she often sees the sadness in his eyes, she knows as all his friends he still misses his dear friend Atem and often wonders…..
Yugi does not ogle the girls like he did when they just met, he also does not spare a glare towards the boys, while some of both teams often ogle the amethyst eyes boy with his charming smile. She is worried he will end alone if he keeps this up… she is so worried about Yugi, she went to Kaiba and asked Kaiba's little brother for help. Sadly since Seto, Yugi and Diva had the tournament Kaiba went missing and there is no way of contacting him.
She somehow knows Yugi went Gay but isn't out the closet yet, and she knows he needs a push into the right direction. If only she knew how, she can't date the one she wants since he is still in high school, yes she admits, she loves Joey wheeler but she also need to be realistic, he still needs a year and a half before they can enter a relationship, and until then she is patient.
Trembles take her out of her musings she looks to the boy and sees he is having trouble to keep his sobs silent, "Go." She says softly. "I'll be there in a bit okay?" she says and he nods before running to the stalls.
Closing the door he slides down on the floor, damn how can this huge news make him think about Atem, make him even cry… last time he cried was when Atem left, since then he tried to man up and he did a fairly good job… until now. a knock makes him look up. "Open up Yugi." He hears the voice from Mai. And he obeys by taking the lock from the door. Mai enters and locks the door again. She sits on the bench and opens her arms.
Like a small child he obeys and runs into her arms allowing her to pull him in her lap and allowing himself to let the tears out he is holding in for a long time laying his head against her breasts and listens to her heartbeat. "Even men are allowed to cry kiddo, sadly they aren't allowed to show it to the outside world. But that isn't what worries me… how long do you plan on staying in the closet?" Mai whispers in his ear and she can feel how Yugi is taking in her soothing words.
He looks up opens his mouth to say something but then stops himself and lays his head back taking a deep shuttering breath. "Yugi, I know you still miss him, we all do in a way, I even believe we all have formed a crush on the guy, but it's not just a crush for you huh?"
Yugi is stumped, how does she know? a simple smile and a gentle nod is all she gets from him. "You will feel better when you tell at least your grandfather, although he is happy you found a sport you enjoy greatly he still is worried about you."
"But what if he hates me for what I am?"
"I don't think he will hate you, Yugi you are his only grandchild, his only blood and flesh alive, do you really think he will kick you out if you come home with a boy instead of a girl?"
"I don't know, he is pretty old fashioned with many things."
"Trust me, not with this, tomorrow you won't come, you fix your grandfather an amazing dinner and talk with him, tell him the truth and if he kicks you out you come to me. okay? And I won't accept any excuses!"
Yugi laughs softly while whipping his tears. "Yes mom." He says in a fun mocking manner before dashing out and diving into the pool to finish his laps. Mai also laughs and starts train the kids before sending them home. And giving Yugi her car keys and drive off to the game-shop. Since his grandfather gets older she offered him to give him drivers lessons and in a month he does is exams with that and will be the last from all his friends with a driver's license.

"He took it well Mai, you were right." Yugi says a few days later. "He isn't mad at all that I may not continue the Muto bloodline, he even told me he knew since I was a little boy. He was more worried over the fact I might want to turn to a girl." He rambles on but with that last statement Mai spits out the water she just took a sip off.
"Do you?" she asks a bit fearful because Yugi is with most of the things a real boy, the showing off in the shower might be the only thing he isn't enough man for.
"Nope, I love being a man, not to be rude or so, but when the girls over here and Anzu have their periods I wish not to be around her, they can be a real witch then and it's allot easier when nature calls and we simply can jump into an ally and—"
"Okay TMI I get the picture!" Mai shouts out cutting the boy off. "I'm glad you and your grandfather talked Yugi, that I was curious about, but I also called you in because we need to discuss something." She says and the boy nods in order for her to continue. "I have timed you and your team mates, and you are my star swimmer, Yugi, I know you don't want to be in the league but I need you to keep us there now we are finally in."
"But why me? Marcus is almost as fast as me!"
"True, but he doesn't put his heart in it like you do, and if you do this… this will count as extra on you finals P.E."
"But I haven't been in P.E. since joining swimming, how?"
"That's the reason why I wanted you to take to pick out two water sports, I know you do bad in P.E. and with an extra sport activity you get enough training….. Yugi you are growing muscles, and It's that I can keep the boys and girls in check otherwise we didn't have I don't know how many cases with sexual harassment towards you. You have grown to a very attractive male you know." Yugi feels himself blushing from head till toe and is not able to give an answer to that.
It's true, while his classmates have P.E. he has diving class learning tricks while jumping from the diving board and gracefully landing in the water. It made his thick F turning to a B already without him knowing.
"Which days do you help your grandfather in the shop?"
"Every Wednesday till closing since that's a half day. And Saturday I have the early shift until 14.00 before he takes over and I can have fun with my friends."
"And cleaning duty?"
"Headmaster arranged with grandpa on Wednesday."
"Okay, I know this sounds hard but I want you to come every day after school for training, the whole team goes with us to competition but only a select will be my star swimmers, and you as my number one will be one of them." Mai says and Yugi nods. "Go only out on Saturday to keep up with your friends and take Sundays to rest for the week coming, as you already know my trainings are no joke, but my special trainings are a killer if you are not willing to work for them."
Yugi gulps, he knows Mai is a hard trainer, he has had many days of coming home and simply crashing in bed and falling asleep in cheer exhaustion, especially him with his small body and lack of energy at first, and although he is still the newbie in this group, she didn't hold back on him, no if anything he at some point realised she was harder on him than on his teammates.
Yugi smirks, he managed many things in life and as he often tells himself, life is a game and you can only win it by being a real gamer, this will be tough, but he knows he will manage.

"Hey Yugi happy 18th birthday, where have you been?" Anzu asks when he enters burger world and joins his friends with his medium sized burger meal that his friends paid for.
"Mai's a brute guys!" Yugi complains, "It's that it's my birthday otherwise I needed to practise today. If you know what is good for you, you will not join competition swimming, she even pulled me from diving so I can focus on competition."
"Yeah man what's with that? I heard you need to train every day now!" Joey complains.
"She is getting me and a few others ready for the competition in three months." Yugi says laying his head on the table and closing his eyes. "Perks of being her star swimmer." He mutters out before falling asleep.
"Man he is out again." Ryou says while poking the boy in his rib. "She must be real brutal when he is this tired, why did he enter?"
"Yugi was failing P.E. badly, his grade was lower than D, close to F, he was forced to join a sport team, couch Monty could not help him out so he was sent to Mai, he managed to higher up his score." Anzu says proudly while letting her fingers run through the boy's soft hair.
"It was a thick F." Yugi says with a yawn gently batting Anzu's hand away making her pout. "I don't know what my score is now, and don't care also, I enjoy it and that's what count's for me guys." Yugi says and yawns again before eating his meal. "Only sad part is my laptop broke down a few days ago, I could save all my files on a extern hard drive but I don't know if it's capable for the school computers, if we are finished here you think we can go to that second hand store?"
"No, I heard it closed down a few days ago, seemed they corrupted the people letting people buy junk and within a month the item was broke." Joey replies quickly… a bit too quickly.
"Damn, and I have not even close enough money to buy a new laptop." Yugi says laying his head back down on the table. And closes his eyes again for a small powernap. It's how he spends most of his days now, going to school, doing everything to keep his focus on the lesson, in between breaks and class switches a powernap to charge so he can last until next break. After school depending if he has homework he fixes that first and after going to training followed by a small powernap, if he doesn't have homework he goes directly to training only to be let out at six pm, and be brought home by Mai. There he has between the bites small powernaps so he can finish his chores without falling asleep. When his chores are done he goes to bed and is out like a light only to repeat the same the very next day.
Grandpa took pity on him and when Yugi gets home at Wednesday after school, he simply hands the boy his dinner and shoos him to bed without working his shift in the shop.
His friends smile towards each other and they clean up the things they used. Then Joey bends down and Anzu, Honda and Ryou help each other to lift Yugi on Joeys back. With the sleeping Yugi they walk towards the Game-shop hoping their little surprise already arrived.
When entering the game-shop Yugi slowly stirs to life again, but he allows Joey to keep carrying him upstairs. On the couch he however is fully awake and sees his friends sitting around him with a big box on the coffee table. "Open up Yugi, that's yours." Honda says with a smile.
Yugi doesn't hesitate and starts opening the paper his with each tape he pulks free, his eyes get more and more glee in them. And when the paper has freed the box he squeals in happiness "Guys for real?" he asks them all while tackling them all down in a massive hug and only now his friends realise how strong he became.
"Yep it's yours Yugi, with the compliments from Seto and Mokuba Kaiba, they helped us with this baby Anzu says still a bit sour about the fact he had batted her hands away when she was doing a friendly gesture.
"Thanks guys. Yugi says and looks to all his friends not noticing the silent tears that stream down his cheek. "Guys I think it's time I tell you why I'm not dating." he says with a newfound determination. "I'm sorry Anzu, but I didn't want to insult you when I bat your hand away, I know you all are dating someone you like except Joey since you are waiting till high-school is finished and you can jump on Mai." He says with a laughter avoiding a swap from the man he just insulted in a way. But then he takes a deep sigh. "It's something I know for a while now, and I told grandpa only two weeks ago, and know it's not easy for me—"
"Oh cut the crap Yugi, we all know you are Atem-gay." Joey blurred out like only Joey can do.
"You knew?" he says stumped.
"Yugi, you still are thinking allot about him, and when you do your powernaps you each time say his name, and smile in a way only he could make you smile." Anzu says gently.
"Yeah, and when you did I felt you thing poking me enough to know he was in your dream, I swear you're a big guy down there man!"
"Why has my peanut gallery always take the glory, it's not about size, but the man having it!" Yugi shouts embarrassed. "Even Mai looked with goggle eyes when I told the man in the store my size! Ra damnit that's probably why I love Atem, he never gave such remarks when we shared my body! I don't even understand how I could turn out gay while I was 100% sure I was straight!"
"Because it happened with me and Malik also Yugi, we as Hikari all were straight until we got our darks, I enjoyed to look to a wonderful female body but now I must admit I love to look at men even more." Ryou says softly. "The only difference why Malik and I are able to look at other men is probably because our darks didn't take care for us as Atem did for you, the two of you grew a caring and loving friendship that grew to more the more you two spent time together." Ryou walks over to Yugi and closes his arms around the boy who started sobbing. "I know you miss him, and I strongly believe if he was able he would stay." Ryou says and gently brings his lips to the crying boy. The two make out for a bit and then let each other go. "Please date me Yugi, you are a gentle soul and I like you allot, besides, even if he didn't take care of me, I also miss my dark." Ryou whispers and Yugi agrees.
Ryou and Yugi becoming boyfriends was not a real shock to Mai, she knows these two need each other to get over their heart ache but she also sees the love isn't real, she sees the love they share is more a love out of care for each other, and she hopes Kaiba manages on time to accomplish that what she is hoping for.

DING DING DONG: ~Yugi Muto report to the headmasters office please, Yugi Muto report to the headmasters office….~
Yugi looks up from his new laptop and this time he closes the lid because class is almost at end, stuffing his things in his backpack and then walks to teachers desk for a hall pass. While walking with a slight jump in his step he nears headmaster Dartz office in a few minutes. He knocks the door and walks inside after he heard the permissioned enter.
"Ah mister Muto, please sit down." Dartz says and gestures towards a chair to which Yugi takes place. "Yugi I have heard you and mister Bakura started to date together am I correct?"
"That's correct sir." Yugi says confused.
"And how far are the two of you dating?"
"Um going to places together, take strolls in the park? Nothing major."
"Did the two of you had sex already?"
"Wha…..? no we are not even talking about that, and what has that to do with the two of us dating?"
"Mister Muto, you do realise Ryou Bakura is older by a full year, and you are only 17, which makes you a minor and him an adult who you are bringing into trouble by dating together."
"Sir I turned 18 a month and a half ago." Yugi stutters. "Even grandpa knows we are a couple and he is okay with it." He says having the tears streaming down his cheeks.
"I understand, but I cannot have a kid in my teams while they are dating someone of illegal age, Ryou Bakura will finish high school this year and since he is in no afterschool activity I see myself—" a loud slam of the door interrupts him and when Yugi turns he sees a very pissed off Mai in the doorway.
"Don't you dare! It's because of him my team is in the Olympics! He has the best time in our team!" she yells loudly taking Yugi by the arm and pushing him out slamming the door close. loud yelling and shouting is to be heard in Dartz his office and Yugi has no idea what to do. Go home or stay and wait for the verdict. But even if he wishes to go home he is somehow frozen on the spot.
Ryou enters the main office and sees Yugi standing there he walks over and takes the younger in his arms cradling him and doing his best to sooth him. He promises himself if Yugi will break up because of Dartz… he will accept because he knows how much Yugi enjoys the swim classes.
After a long while shouting and yelling the two adults finally calm down and talk together, again after a while Mai opens the door and lets both boys in. They have decided they will allow this relationship and they will not pull Yugi back from swimming. They both must promise no public display otherwise Yugi will fail P.E., although they hoped it was allowed… Ryou is not allowed to join them on the trip towards Tokyo for their first competition in a month and a half.
With a smile Yugi goes to the dressing room. "Yugi, wait with warming up I need to tell you all something." Mai says and pulls Ryou with her inside the pool. While Yugi goes in a stall and dresses himself. coming out and inside the pool area he sees al his classmates have gathered in a circle around Mai and Ryou, he joins them and Mai opens her mouth. "Okay kids, today we are going to act and react to when a team mate gets a cramp. But first I want to know what is rule number 1 when having cramp during swimming?"
"Do not panic." Marcus says.
"Correct, if you panic in the water you can do more damage than necessary. According to the rules you need to lay on your back and wait until a coach whistles, the swimmer closed by is to pull the injured swimmer to the side. The other swimmers return to the blocks and according on how many laps they still need to take they decide if the round is going over from the start or… when the laps were almost finished they see who was closed by the end and gets the win."
"So it doesn't matter if it's a teammate or a strange person you need to pull to the side?" Kimberly asks.
"No, it goes even so far that if the rescue swimmer refuses to help the injured swimmer the whole team of the rescue swimmer get disqualified."
A loud gasp goes through the group because that's a hard punishment, if a team no matter what team gets three disqualifies they are out the league, and it will take years before the team finally will be scouted to see if they fit in the league again. They all worked so hard to finally get in and thanks to Yugi they managed. "How do we prevent cramps?" Yugi asks.
"By doing warming ups, and even if you feel you don't need it Samuel…." She says looking to the kid who only shrugged. "I can only hope you will do warming up, simply to prevent cramps." Mai says and ushers the kids to start their warming up. Samuel of course does not participate and Mai who sees it hopes he will get a real cramp.
The whole training is spend to help a victim swimmer, they all practice with Yugi because till his chagrin he still is the smallest of the group. "Remember, you can practise with Yugi because of his frame but realise not everybody is as small as he is, sometimes you even need to pull someone twice or even trice your size to the side, and it's all in finding an easy way to do it safely!" Mai shouts her instructions.
Suddenly they all hear a yell, and they look towards Samuel, he clearly is suffering a real cramp, and since Yugi didn't pull one to the side yet he knows he is up. He waits till Samuel remembers needs to lay on his back, then he waits till the whistle from Mai. When he hears it he swims towards Samuel and when he takes him he realises Samuel is making the biggest mistake inside the swim area. He is panicking, and before Yugi even can retreat Samuel is climbing in Yugi's neck pushing the poor boy under not giving him any chance of breathing. Ryou knows Yugi can hold his breath for a period of three minutes when he gets the chance for a good gulp of breath, but with Samuel panicking!
Before he can react he sees Mai jumping inside the water and pulling Samuel of Yugi and fight him to get him under control, his classmates react and save Yugi from under the two fighting people and bring him to the side of the pool where Ryou already stands ready to pull Yugi out and laying him down, without thinking he starts CPR focussing purely on Yugi.
Kimberly ran off to get help and the other boys are trying to help Mai. Samira who also knows CPR is helping Ryou while Monica is giving orders towards the girls surrounding them.
By the time the school nurse arrives one kid managed to hit Samuel against the head knocking him out and Ryou is turning Yugi to the side to let all the water out of his lungs. She goes immediately towards Yugi and lets him cough up as much water as possible, while Marcus explains to her what happened. When Mai gained her breath she also comes close towards Yugi. "I want him to go to the hospital, with the amount of water he coughed up I want to be sure it's all out his lungs." The nurse says and then walks towards Samuel.
Samuel came around looking around confused. He seems to be okay but not for the wrath of miss Mai….

Yugi wakes up, his head pouncing and his whole body feels like jelly, he needs to clamp the bed to make sure he stays in it. he also feels uncomfortable hot, like he has a serious fever to fight off. But what confuses him the most are the white walls, he himself has soft blue walls, also the air smells different, his room smells like eucalyptus because he cleans his room with that sent. This room smells like nothing, he realises his nose if full and wishes he has a hanky or something to blow his nose in.
He hears a door open and Mai walks inside seeing him awake. "Oh thank gods you awoke Yugi!" she cries out and quickly snatches him in a hug. Yugi unable to speak back pats her back in the hope she releases him soon which she thankfully does. "gods your still burning up, and you gave me quite the scare."
"What happened?" he croaks out and starts coughing loudly. Mai pats his back and waits till he gained his breath before explaining.
"That idiot Samuel, he didn't warm up and panicked when he really go a cramp. I should have kept a close eye on him because then I noticed he was panicking." She says tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Where am I?"
"You're in the hospital, by the time they brought you in, you was burning up badly, they got it mostly under control but you need to stay at least until the fever breaks to make sure you are fine."
"When can I swim again?"
"If I see you inside the pool in the next 14 days after you are released I kick you till no ends!" Mai says with a sternness he never heard her use before. He nods too tired to argue.
"What happens with Samuel?"
"If he makes again the 'I don't need to warm up' act he can be sure he is out of the team." She says and sees Yugi has his eyes closed again and fallen asleep, she takes the blanket and tugs him in. "Get well soon kiddo." She says softly before leaving him alone in the room.
Three days Yugi needed to stay in the hospital, he got a serious cold and the doctor wanted to be sure the fever had broken before he would go home. And knowing Yugi who isn't one of the most patient boys, he took it as a real punishment. But when he was released he enjoyed being outside with his friends.
Ryou was the one coming in at the start of visiting hours and leaving the last, the two discussed their holiday after the tournament, they both have a feeling they need to go back to Egypt. Why? They can't explain, but they feel Egypt is calling out for them. And when Yugi was given a brand new laptop for his birthday he could afford the trip with the money he already was saving up.
They called and spoke with the Ishtar clan and they invited both boys in their home during their holiday which saved them also hotel costs.
During the days Yugi was at home recovering he took to light exercising in order to keep fit for when he was allowed back into the water he hopefully needed little time to come back to his last record.
14 days later and Yugi was happy to be back. And although he had asked what would happen with Samuel he didn't hear it when he fell asleep. But only a week after the incident Samuel was kicked out the team because he took the warning from Mai not serious and didn't warm up, Mai didn't seemed to mind, Samuel wasn't really a team player and his time only slowed the team down.
At first Yugi was afraid to pull a classmate to the side of the pool, it brought him back to when he was forcefully pushed under and could not take enough breath to hold on.
It gave him a slight panic attack but with the soothing words from his swimming pals he also remembered the team effort putt into saving him and make him realise even without his friends, this group also has his back no matter what happened.

"On the first place of competition swimming 2002 is Yugi Muto from swim team Domino Japan! And with three of their male swimmers and two of their female swimmers they made a new record ladies and gentlemen because not ever before had we had five swimmers from one team on these blocks!" the announcer calls loudly in the microphone. Loud cheers and applaud sound though the swimming area and the winning swim team is overly enthusiastic for their winnings.
Two golden, two silver and one bronze medal, plus the first place trophy was what this team could bring home. The medals for the kids to keep, but the trophy for in the school glass cabinet on display.
Load music sounds in the main hall of the hotel, a party is thrown for the Domino swimming team but there is one person not joining them. That person sits on the fountain outside of the hotel looking towards the starts. "Did you see me Atem? I know I promised Ryou I would win for him, but tell you the truth, I won for you…. Sigh I don't know what to do, but what Ryou and I have doesn't feel right… I want to break things off but… we already booked our plane tickets for our trip to Egypt. should I wait till after Egypt or tell him now? and if I tell him now, what about the tickets? They can't be cancelled anymore." He says softly.
A gentle wind goes through his hair and Yugi smiles seeing and feeling it as much needed advise. "Fine, I'll go, should I talk to him there?" he asks but feels nothing. "Your still an ass sometimes…. Okay I'm going back inside, they must wonder where their star swimmer is, but if I have to choose, King Of Games is the title I prefer." He says and sees a shooting star. Clasping his hands together he makes a wish and then returns inside.
Mai who was indeed looking for her star swimmer heard what he was saying and doing, she is proud, with a few milliseconds Yugi managed to get back to almost his old time, she also noticed the two boys are in a way growing apart but with what she also knows…. They both will be perfectly fine.

Ladies and gentlemen please set your seats back up and fasten your seatbelts, we are landing in exactly 15 minutes, we wish to welcome you in Cairo Egypt and hope you enjoy your stay.
The two boys exhale a sigh of relief, and are even more eager to get out because the man sitting next to them stinks heavy to old sweat, new sweat, cigar, and alcohol. Yugi who had a strong stomach before his rough dip now got very queasy and a few times he needed to excuse himself to the bathroom to empty his stomach. Ryou as caring as he is switched places with Yugi to make it a bit easier for him, although it wasn't much, Yugi appreciated the gesture his boyfriend gave him.
When they are out the plane and have gathered their suitcases they look out for Malik, and when they spot him the three of them jump in a brotherly hug together. "Wow Yugi, it was hard to recognise you with the muscle growth, but to actually feel them. You got ripped man."
"Thanks." Yugi responds with a chuckle. And a blush since he didn't realise they took the Olympics this far in broadcast.
"Come on, Ishizu is back home awaiting the two of you, she has a nice surprise organised for the two of you." Malik says taking the suitcases and rolls them to the car. "It's strange not to see the others around you, where are they?"
"Egypt was calling out to us and we knew we needed to do this alone." Ryou responds sitting next to Malik since Yugi claimed the backseat and fell asleep as soon as they started driving.
"How was the flight?"
"Terrible, I have smell allot of men but the one next to us stunk badly, Yugi needed a few times to the bathroom to empty his stomach." Ryou says softly looking back and see Yugi in a peaceful slumber. "He could not sleep and even I had trouble sleeping, I hope the person sitting next to us when we go home doesn't stink as bad as this one."
"I know you will." Malik whispers and focuses on the road. After half an hour driving they arrive at a small village and Malik drives the car to a medium sized house. Ryou gets out and tries to wake Yugi with a few gentle nudges and the boy opens his amethyst eyes. "was ron." He mumbles with a sleepy voice.
"We arrived baby, come on time to meet the other Ishtar's, Ryou says gently pulling Yugi out, supporting Yugi they walk. To the door...
Thumb... Thumb... thumb...
"Ryou wait... this is wrong."
Thumb... Thumb... Thumb...
"I know Yugi, and I wanted to wait after Egypt."
Thumb... Thumb... thumb...
"I'm sorry, but we are living a lie."
Thumb... Thumb... Thumb...
"let's split but stay friends..." both boys blur out softly. They look towards each other and feel a pull towards the door.
Thumb... thumb... thumb...
They say nothing but turn their heads at the same time still holding each other.
Thumb... thumb... thumb..
The door opens and two males step outside making the ex-lovers look and see two familiar faces. The two males are tackled and smothered with kisses both laughing by having their hikarie's in their arms.
Thumb... Thumb... Thumb...
"Is this real?" they whisper.
It is. They both have their darks in their arms and before they even notice it themselves they are pulled into a deep kiss full passion and love. And although Yugi returns his love to Atem, Atem still feels there is something off, but that is something to figure out later.

Four men leaving the airport in the death of the night, hauling two cabs to take them home. The two white haired males taking one and the two tricoloured haired males the other. While entering the Game-shop the two males stumble directly to the youngers room only to crash down on the youngers bed to fall asleep not even having enough energy to redress themselves in sleepwear.
Grandpa who heard both males walking in believing it's Ryou who Yugi took with him to spend the night, is surprised when not the whitehaired teen but the pharaoh enters the kitchen next afternoon together with Yugi. Looking towards both males he only says. "Explain." Followed by a muttered "I'm getting to old for this." and placing a plate with pancakes in front of both males.
"Um, Ryou and I realised it wasn't real between us and more a feeling of duty. So we broke up the day we came into Egypt and there we met Atem and Bakura again." Yugi says.
"so basically you left off one relationship and entered the next right away?" grandpa asks a bit stunned. "Young man I don't know what your intentions are around my grandson, but if you hurt him again, I will kill you and then pull you out the grave myself and kill you again! Yugi had enough heartbreak!"
Atem who is shocked by this normally loving old man sounding this harsh holds his hands up in a defending manner. "I'm not planning on leaving him within the next 70 or 80 years or so, I know he has suffered allot I have seen him suffer and I needed to go below my own standards in order to be send back."
"And papers?"
"All taken care off by the Ishtar clan, they even made sure to enrol me into domino high for my last year of education as a teen."
"How old are you?"
"my date of birth is set on July 26 almost 19 years ago."
"so they gave you a year older then my grandson."
A simple nod from the former pharaoh makes the old man relax. "What classes will you follow?"
"The same as Yugi only I have P.E. I'm not that happy to be in the water so Ishizu managed to pull me off swimming classes."
"Still I want you to have a basis of swimming, Yugi will arrange private lessons with you by Mai." The old man says and looks to his grandson who didn't say a word. "Now take him back to bed, he obviously is still jet lagged." Making Atem look up and seeing his Hikari is using his pancakes as pillow. Atem smiles at the sight looking a bid disgusted because of the syrup the boy had douched his pancakes which is now all over his face.
"And Atem, I will make a new chores list around the house, when you are living here I suspect it finished by the both of you and if not even if you are of legal age and living under my roof, you will be grounded. Welcome in the family."
Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984.
walking onto schoolgrounds Yugi is nervous, when being in Egypt he and Ryou had that tension around them of being boyfriends and directly after that entering a new relationship it feels like cheating, but all four have sit down and talked about it, both darks reassured their Hikari's they did it so they wouldn't feel alone and to let it go.
But still, for Yugi it didn't feel right, and during those few weeks Atem is back he tried talking with Yugi about it. and after Yugi explaining it Atem accepted Yugi simply needs time to let it go. And then there is that other issue what is bugging Atem and he hopes he will find out before the end of the schoolyear.
Their friends are happy to have Atem back, and Ryou seems to have forgotten the two were dating a short while and returned to simply being friends with Yugi again making Yugi relax and also accepting the fact it was a spur of the moment thing ready to be forgotten once and for all.
After sharing their classes together Atem and Yugi share a deep kiss before they separate ways, Atem going to P.E. and Yugi going to diving class followed by competition training. They will meet each other in the pool.
After an exhausting P.E. training called Monkey cage climbing over bars swinging at rings and balancing over ropes the coach was impressed by Atem's qualities and he hopes he can ask him to enter one of his afterschool activities. Only to get as respond the young man wishes to discuss this with Yugi first.
"We can always see your training is at the same time as Mai's training, so you don't have to miss each other." Coach Monty says but… Atem stands by what he says, he will discuss this first with Yugi.
After a nod he asks where he can find the pool and coach Monty walks along with Atem because he needs to discuss something with the swim coach.
Entering the pool and seeing a few kids standing on the blocks preparing themselves to dive into the water and make some laps. Softly cursing over the fact the kids all have a diving cap on their heads so it makes it harder to find Yugi. Then he sees Yugi, he sees the sparkle in his little boyfriends eyes before the whistle sounds and he dives in the water.
Atem looks in wonder how graceful and wonderful he moves himself to the other side of the line flexing his muscles with a grace making Atem feel ashamed of not noticing it sooner. He sees how Yugi reaches the end of the line, tapping the side and rolling onto a ball before firmly pushing himself away for another lap repeating this two more times in the span of a few minutes.
"You better wipe that drool before I need to push you in." the voice from Mai suddenly says next to him, he was so fixated on Yugi moving in the pool he didn't notice her coming over. "Yugi told me his grandfather wants you to have a basic around swimming how much do you know?"
"Only how to stay afloat. When we fell into water Yugi always was the one staying in control since his knowledge with that is obvious." Atem responds pointing to the line his boyfriend is swimming.
"He is my star swimmer, thanks to him we managed to get this school back into the Olympics, I hate to see him go at the end of the year."
Atem sees how the woman is looking towards his Aibou, and with that he feels the puzzle pieces click together, she want's something, something that Yugi also wants but what it means more as insurance for Yugi to confirm his sexuality, for Mai it means something different, and only he knows how to fix that problem. "How far do you want him?"
"You don't seem mad." She responds surprised but also relived. A cord nod from Atem confirms her suspicion. "It's more like how many, there are several I wish to do it with."
"And they all are friends?"
"Can you blame me? ever since I met you all I find you attractive. Also….. I'm kinda curious."
"I believe so, But it him to decide, and when he does I'm willing to join for the same reason as he is."
"Confirmation?" she asks and he nods. "Are you?"
"Yes, I was like him honoured to take the v card away. But I see he needs this."
"Come with me I promised Yugi dinner tonight, the three of us can talk there and see how to go further." She says and whistles. "Okay kids! Time to hit the showers!"
Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984, Thirza-1984.
Dinner was great, Yugi and Atem told Mai over their adventures in Egypt and when they came to the nights they shared Yugi started to blush heavy not able to look at Mai. Both Mai and Atem realised Yugi was having some tension down below making also Atem shift uncomfortable in his seat.
Mai smiling softly suddenly says. "Ever wondered how a trio works?" making Yugi gasp loudly and softly moan. "I'm on birth control." She says walking to the other side of the table and taking both boys by the hands.
"But school?" Yugi asks out of breath cursing his boxer who definitely is in need for a size Lange now.
"It's only to fix our curiosities, for you and Atem to confirm and for me to know how it is to have two inside me."
"Atem?"
"It's okay Little one, come on." The older boy says softly and guiding him behind the swim coach towards her room.
3 let's do a little three-way lemon. 3
Entering the room Mai flops on the bed caressing her breast with one hand and allowing the other to slither towards her vagina playing with it on top of the fabric of her shorts. Atem seeing Yugi ogle her and sliding his hand towards his own manhood making Atem stop him and slipping off both his shirt and Yugi's kissing him in the process to calm his Hikari down and rid the negative tensions.
Mai enjoying the interaction between two boy focusses her attention on her clit feeling the damp already coming through. Gods she was longing for a good fuck in a while and both boys in front of her making a real show out of it. she is lucky to have such a good friends and knows after this it can result in going back to be friends/rivals/coach. Or also add benefits behind friends. Yes there are risks if this ever comes out, and yes she is willing to take them.
Both boys are in a heated tongue battle and going at it with stroking each other's still clothed manhood's. feeling left out she decides to join both males deciding it's best to stay in Yugi's vision since he is the scared one, she stands behind Atem and snakes her arm around the older male towards his stomach and down to his cock, feeling a shift from Yugi she realises he wants to feel her and turns so he is able to.
A gasp escapes her mouth when Yugi finds her wet clit without any difficulties and starts playing with it making her moan In Atem's neck barely able to keep standing. One thing is certain, although the kid is insecure and this may be his first time with a woman, he has skilled fingers.
When he did it she does not know but Atem had managed to turn around and is now working on removing her shirt allowing his hands to go over her breasts and even squeeze them to feel the firmness. While allowing him to do just that, she is working on removing his pants and taking his manhood.
Suddenly she feels the youngest behind her working on removing her shorts and thong which makes her believe the kid is the only one still clothed in his sweatpants. She wishes to grope him, tease him but noticing when she reaches behind her he must have had removed his sweats and boxer when he went to work on her short because what she is grabbing is a fully erect penis pulsing with lust and want. Reaching towards the front she meets and equal willing penis but this one already leaking precum from the tip.
"Who……" she tries but moans loudly when Atem's fingers also find her clit and she is getting a double assault now from both boys. She swallows and tries again. "Who…. Tops." She manages to speak out before letting out a feral moan when one of the two enter her with his hands while the other still plays with the clit.
"Depends…." They both breath out at the same time seeing the vacant look in their eyes she almost believes the two are discussing things within their minds about who does when and what. Not that she minds, they both are very skilled in their work and it turns her on only more.
A gentle tug and even gentle push make them walk towards the bed not letting go of the contact. Not letting go of the two manhood's who will penetrate her both in her vagina or one in her ass.
They gently lay her down on her back making sure they are dominating her together, Yugi taking the lead in starting up a hot make out session while Atem took care of her lover parts licking her clit and preparing her for intrusion. And Mai can say one thing about this all. She has had many men took her to bed, but none of them where so full off passion as these two boys.
A simple grunt from Atem makes Yugi lose her and position himself in front of her, he looks up as if he needs the resurgence she truly is okay with him entering her. A smile and a gentle nod gives him the final push to go inside and starts moving. While she gestures towards Atem taking his manhood in her mouth sucking and licking him while enjoying the manhood from Yugi stretching her out more than Atem's fingers did.
When she tastes the cum from the male next to her face she gives an even harder suck allowing Atem to empty himself in her mouth with her drinking all she has to give. A grunt from Yugi makes Atem's limp manhood hard in no time only this time he moves over towards Yugi and with a bit of manoeuvring they manage to sit both between Mai's legs.
Atem now is the one looking a bit insecure up towards Mai and a short nu makes him push his rock hard manhood next to Yugi's making her loudly gasp. Both boys await until she is used to the massive intrusion in her pussy and when she is a soft grunt makes both boys slam into her first Yugi then Atem, both hitting her pleasure spot making her scream by each slam and driving both boys wild.
Yugi at some point reaches his hand to grab one of her breasts digging his nail in but still careful not to brake the skin, bending himself over he takes that breast in his mouth sucking at it like a baby looking for his mother's milk. Yes he enjoys this deeply.
Sweat drips from all three bodies mixing together in their passionate sex and lovemaking until the tension starts to build up into Yugi's manhood he is getting real close especially with Atem's manhood brushing each time against his also feeling the pulsation of his partners manhood.
A deep trust pushes Atem over the limit and he climaxes into Mai riding out his second orgasm of this day. Yugi follows soon after him allowing himself also to rode out the orgasm, when empty both males allow themselves to fall down exhausted. A bit ashamed of not knowing if Mai had the chance to climax but feeling how wet the sheets under her are they both smile. A kiss on both their heads allows them to fall asleep. "Thank you." Mai whispers softly before she also gives to her exhaustion and falling asleep herself.
Three years later:
"May I introduce to you miss and mister Wheeler." The priest announces and the two blondes looking towards the public with a happy smile.
On the front line their best man's Atem and Yugi both having a matching golden band around their finger since they married a year ago. Their secret escapade never revealed to the outside world but making both Yugi and Atem decide they are Gay for each other and take the pleasure of looking towards other men and woman fantasizing together about what they could do with that sexy person to make them come just as sneaky as Mai did.
The group fell apart for a big part, Honda who was enthusiastic first had shortly after graduating told them he tried but did not feel secure around Gay men. They all tried to reason with him but he was firm in his decision.
Anzu left to America for her dancing career and found herself a lover there to which she is very happy with and within a year they also are getting married.
Ryou and Bakura decided to be friends with benefits because Bakura didn't want commitment. He left to find a place of his own to live in until he finally decides he belongs to be with Ryou.
Walking over to the two tricoloured males Mai notices Yugi is slightly blushing, a reminder left since their one time escapade but a loving memory she dared to tell Joey about only for him to fall on his knee and ask her to become his wife he even asked both men to do a four-way making Yugi almost run away but holding it off as a joke.
Joey knew shortly there was a little secret going on with his two best buddies and Mai, where other would kiss two times on the cheek, the two always took a third gentle peck on her lips, or Yugi who always blushed while she was around her Joey knows he can come blond around the corner many times, but still he knew. And after her confession he understood the meaning of that.
Two years later:
A phone call rings in the death of the night through the game-shop, and one arm reaches out to the phone on the nightstand. A tired hello answering it.
"Don't tell me you are still stinking in bed while my wife is working out our children! Get your asses over here right now or I will kill you for doing this to her!" the voice says and a click follows before the man can respond back.
"Yugi, come on its time." The elder says gently to his younger counterpart.
The two of them dressing each other gathering their personal items as well a baby safety carrier.
Joey's joke seemed not to be a joke and only 8 months ago he managed both males and Mai for a four way… only Mai's birth control could not manage three men making her pregnant in the process with twins. Yugi and Atem horrified at first decided with Mai and Joey they would take care of one of the babies and adopt the child that looked the most like them.
Grandpa had moved to live with Arthur leaving the game-shop and the house to Atem and Yugi. When they heard Mai was pregnant and they accepted to take one of the children as their own they managed to fix Yugi's old room into a nursery, while they themselves had moved out and into grandpa's bedroom.
Atem chuckling towards his younger husband. Yugi was besides the fact they were horrified first also very happy, he always wanted to become a daddy and although they allowed gay marriages, the government did not agree on gay men and woman to adopt children unless they found someone to be the carry parent.
The four adults spent many hours discussing what they would explain to the two children when old enough and finally decided on simply telling the truth.
Arriving in the hospital they went to the delivery ward finding Joey passing a whole in the floor biting his thumb as a nervous habit. "There were complications, they needed to do an emergency c-section, I wasn't allowed inside." Joey explains the two males.
After what looks like an hour a doctor emerges from the surgery room looking around and seeing the three men sitting together. "Mister Wheeler? And Sennen?" he asks knowing the Sennen will take one of the children. The three look up and the doctor sits down. "The children are healthy but they did quite a number on miss Wheelers womb. We see no other option to remove that one."
"Is she…? " Joey asks hesitant.
"She knows but wanted to be sure you were okay with this decision. Please follow me gentlemen I'm sure the daddies want to meet their son while you talk with your wife." the doctor replies and stand, the three men also stand and follow the doctor inside the room. Joey right away walks over to his wife and Yugi and Atem look towards the four incubators. A bit confused they walk over and look into them all.
"a twin cannot do such damage as these four did, it was a surprise when two of them managed to hide until we pulled them out." A nurse says softly to the two men.
"This little one is definitely one of yours." The nurse says looking towards one of the three. The baby has the same dark skin like Atem has their son will be called Heba. "He also is the eldest of the four. The second is this little thing." She says gesturing to a little girl that has the same tricoloured tresses they both have.
"Yugi we wanted to take one? what should we do?"
"Seeing Mai will not be able to be carry mother anymore. Atem I always hated the fact I had no siblings, and although they are all four siblings…."
"You wish to keep these two together." Atem gently responds.
"Not only that, we cannot ask from them to take care of three while we have one." Yugi says looking up to Joey who is now looking towards his set of twins. Having obvious depth in his eyes of how to raise three kids.
"let's tell him we will also adopt Hikari." Atem says with a gentle smile walking over to his friend and telling him the news. With a handshake they seal the deal.
5 years later:
"Daddy, daddy!" Hikari runs into the game-shop towards Yugi who catches her in a hug spinning her around. And taking in her sent. Gods his daughter smells amazing.
"Hello baby-girl, how was your first day at school?" he asks her bouncing her on his hip.
"Good, but teacher asked us about our mommy." She says. "Daddy why do we have no mommy?"
"I'll close the shop, and then we talk with dad and Heba okay?" he asks and seeing her nod "Care to help?" making her dash to the back taking the broom and starting her task as swiping the store.
Atem and Heba follow and one look from both adults tell it's time so they together clean restock and close the register before they all move to the upper part where they make themselves comfortable allowing their pet cats to crawl in their laps and they start telling…..
