This one's probably under the motto don't ask questions, just accept it ^^' There is a beautiful gif of this too if you're interested: /gallery/CY061MX I just saw a lot of family!Prideshipping fanart lately and when I saw the gif the story just flowed out of my system. Apart from that there's not much more to say except that I hope you find this idea as cute as I did.

27. Dress

The sound of music and the exciting giggling of his daughter had woke him up. He groaned softly when he realized which song it was. He'd heard it so often he knew the lyrics by heart by now. It was their baby daughter's favorite after all and there wasn't a weekend where they wouldn't at least watch a few minutes of this movie. Preferably the ones where this song was played.

When he listened close enough he could even draw some lines between it and his tale. Of course it was rather ridiculous and at first he'd thought it was funny but slowly but surely it was starting to annoy him. It was a stupid fairytale after all and neither he nor Seto liked those very much.

He got up slowly and opened the door to the living room only to stop dead in his tracks and stare with huge, unbelieving eyes at the sight before him.

Seto was there clad in a black suit that highlighted his lean, haughty figure and he was actually dancing with their darling daughter, spinning her around in little pirouette while she beamed in her yellow-golden dress similar to the one the heroine of the movie was wearing in the scene they just reenacted between their TV and their sofa. It was both ridiculous and hilarious to look at and probably the sweetest thing he'd ever seen in the entirety of his 3000 life years. He could watch them like that for just as long.

Seto always had a special connection to children and Atem had a clue he would spoil the hell out of his own children, especially a girl. But thinking about it and actually seeing it were two different things. He could feel a soft sort of melancholy stir inside him and his love for both of them flowed through him.

On their next turn though Seto saw him standing in the doorframe and stopped abruptly. A dark tinge of red immediately colored his cheeks and he turned his gaze away from him.

"Daddy!" Their little child squealed when she saw him and waved. "I was dancing with father! Did you see?"

"I did, my darling." Atem confirmed as he walked over to them and gave Seto a slightly mocking but nevertheless affectionate look. "You look very beautiful in your new dress, too."

"Father gave it to me when I woke up." She began and Atem raised his eyebrow at Seto who just shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest. The little princess held up her finger like she could control her generous father with that simple gesture (actually she could but neither of them talked about it). "But I told him… I don't dance with him when he is not wearing a dress too."

Atem nodded and side glanced at Seto with an amused smile noticing how he was just getting his composure back before he looked back at the prideful stance and defying glare of the little princess in front of him. She was undeniably their daughter. "That's the spirit, my darling."

She laughed happily and Atem turned his attention to Seto who was still somewhat uncomfortable and embarrassed that Atem had seen him like that but the smaller man couldn't help add a little more fuel to the flame. "The beast suits you, Kaiba." He said, using his last name intentionally.

"But Father's not a beast!" The girl defended her father immediately, glaring at Atem and clenching her little fists, what made her look exactly like a miniature version of Seto. Despite her hair was too colorful for that.

Atem laughed at her display of temper and took her up into his arms. "Who's the beast then?"

She pouted at him. "You are!"

"I am?"

"Yes! Because…" She took a deep breath and Atem fought hard to keep himself from laughing. He was a little wounded, sure but this little girl was just so cute he really couldn't be angry at her. "Because your hair!"

A small chuckle left him and he could hear Seto grunting in the back but they got themselves under control very fast and Atem faked indignation and put his hand over his heart to show her how greatly she had wounded him. "My hair?"

"Yes, it's all pointy and wild and there's so much color…" She waved wildly with her small hands and Atem heard Seto's amused chuckle behind him. "You are the beast."

"But your hair is colorful too. Or did you forget?" Seto stepped in, gently putting a hand the small of Atem's back and softly flicking their daughter's nose. "Doesn't that make you a beast too?"

"No!" She wailed and crossed her arms behind her back, while sticking her face out offended. "I am cute."

They both laughed at her behavior, Seto stroking her hair and Atem kissing her cheek. "Yes. Yes, you are." He kissed her cheek again and her giggling in his arms made him so happy he just had to do it again. "Very cute." He leaned in for another kiss but she turned her head away and pointed at Seto.

"Give father a kiss too!" She squealed and Atem couldn't help the flutter in his stomach when he turned his head to Seto and saw the look he gave him. His eyes were like liquid, blazing blue fire, hot and soothing to look at the same time. Atem drowned in his gaze, drowned in the feelings it ignited in him and took his breath away.

It was like that every time their eyes met in this way. Even after all these years, all those times he looked at him and Seto looked back in that gentle, loving way he still couldn't help the nervousness that stirred in his body, the quickening of his heartbeat and the slight drying of his mouth. "Now!"

Their girl's demand got him out of his reverie and he turned and smiled at Seto almost shyly.

"We better do what she wants…" He said in a low voice as he leaned down slowly, only increasing Atem's trembling with his hesitant movement. Seto noticed that of course, it was his payback for Atem's mocking before and didn't hide his mischievous smile when he teased Atem by letting his breath wander sensually over his husband's skin before finally touching his lips to Atem's.

He let out a soft breath and pressed his lips harder on Seto's, his hand searching and finding his shirt to grip at it while Seto touched his hand to Atem's neck gently. They deepened their kiss almost automatically both pulling the other closer and clinging to each other as if they were starved men who finally found what really sated them.

And actually that was exactly what it was.

The little princess cackled happily in Atem's arms as she watched them fulfilling her wish but she got an even better idea for them and started to wiggle in her daddy's arm until Atem let go of each other and when Atem had put her down, she didn't waste one second to dash away into her room, still giggling.

Atem and Seto watched her, first smiling at her, then at each other until Seto broke the silence.

"Thank you."

Atem chuckled. "For the kiss?"

"No." Seto simply said and took him into his arms, lifting him off the ground slightly as he always did when he wanted to look him into the eyes directly. And he did which such intensity that Atem was sure his knees would have buckled under if he was still standing on his feet. "For giving me a second chance at that time. For accepting and loving me the way I am. For being here with me every day and being my husband and…" His look was almost eating him wholly by now "For giving me a new family."

Atem blinked and his vision blurred as he realized he had teared up during Seto's speech. He talked more like that lately but it was still so odd to Atem to hear him say things like this. His throat was so tight too and he was only able to nod and kiss Seto again and again and try to keep his tears from falling.

"I love you." He whispered when he'd found his voice again and touched his forehead to Seto's.

"I love you, too." The answer was barely audible so low was it spoken and swallowed by Atem's lips when he kissed him again.

"Daddy, daddy!"

They parted reluctantly and laughed when they turned to their attention seeking daughter. "Yes darling?"

There she stood prideful and stuck-up in her gold-yellow princess dress, huge blue eyes sparkling as she held out a box of cards to them and screamed. "Duel me!"
