Redemption
Chapter 5: And All Of The Ghouls Come Out To Play
Yugi and Joey opened boxes carefully in their new living room while Harper looked over an instruction manual.
"This is impossible!" She complained
"Hey, don't start." Joey laughed over his shoulder, "You wanted to set up the WiFi."
"I didn't know the directions would be in freaking Elvish!"
Yugi chuckled, "The cable company said they could have some one over on Tuesday. Can you go two days without the internet, Harp?"
The black haired girl gasped, "NO! I'LL DIE!"
"Don't be so dramatic." Joey groaned
"I'm not being dramatic! Don't you care about my social life?" Harper asked throwing her hands in the air
"Now, you are being dramatic." Yugi smirked, "We can't control the company, so we have to set it up ourselves or wait for them to come to us."
"Well, can you help me? Dads." Harper batted her lashes
"Yes, as soon as we are done unpacking." Yugi answered
"Which you could help us with, by the way." Joey added
Harper tossed the manual aside and grabbed an unopened box
"Look," Harper smiled, "I found your wedding photos!"
"Oh, jeez, don't look." Joey groaned
"Stop it, you looked awesome." The teen countered, "Both of you clean up nicely."
Harper had the album opened to the middle and was smiling at a picture of her adoptive fathers in tuxedos holding each other and smiling at the camera.
Yugi crawled over to sit next to her.
"Joey, come here." He whispered looking over the photos
Joey walked over and sat behind Yugi, putting his arm around the smaller mans shoulder, and used his other arm to pull Harper closer.
"This," The blonde began, "Was a really amazing day."
"Yes it was." Yugi agreed
"Where was this?" Harper asked
"A little beach outside of New Domino."
Yugi reach inside of the box Harper had found the album in and pulled out a second thicker album.
"Oh," He said, "It's our family album."
"Family album?" Harper asked
"Yeah." Joey laughed opening the book to the first page
Harper stared at the picture, it was of an older man who had his arm around Yugi's shoulder.
"That's my grandfather." He told her
Harper looked up at him with a smile, "I wish I could have met him."
"Me too." Joey added, "He would've loved you."
Yugi turned the page
"Hey, it's all of us."
The picture took up the whole page, Yugi was in the middle with Joey was next to him, surrounded by all of their friends and family; Tristan, Tea, Grandpa, Ryou, Marik, Seto, Mokuba, Serenity, Ishizu, Odion, and Duke.
Joey and Yugi pointed out each of the friends and told Harper who they were.
"Wait, why are you all standing in front of a pyramid?"
"Because this was taken in Egypt." Yugi told her
"Why were you in Egypt?"
"We had to say goodbye to an old friend." Yugi stated
The three of them stayed on the floor the rest of that day looking over old photos and sharing memories. Long after Harper went to sleep Yugi and Joey were cuddled up in there bed talking.
"Was seeing that picture hard for you?" Joey asked
"No." Yugi smiled running his fingers along his husband's arm
"Really? It was hard for me."
"It shouldn't be."
"Why?" Joey looked deep into Yugi's purple eyes
"Atem was an entirely different person than Yami. Atem was kind and generous and loving." Yugi explained, "Yami, he doesn't remember his past, he is everything that Atem never wanted to be."
Joey sighed kissing Yugi's forehead.
"Atem did not come back."
