NOTE! This is a Yami/Yugi not a Yami/Tea fic. There is a cup full of Tea/Yami in an ocean of Yami/Yugi.
NOTE TWO! I will hurt the heart of Yugi in this chapter (as I do in most of the other ones… (not guilty at all)) so get ready for it if you dare to go on. Don't hate me cause I'm mean.
On with the fic!

I'm Here To Help
Chapter seven: Christmas Eve Dance
"Daddy! Daddy!" The sound of small feet could be heard as a four year old Yami ran down the hall into his father's study.
"Oh, Yami. What's wrong son? Did Alistair take something form you again?" Dartz asked as he looked up from his book to see his youngest son panting as he placed his small hands on the arm of the chair that his father was sitting in.
"Yami saw something on da Tee bee. I big guy was in a weird chair thingy that hab wheels on it. He was wolling a wound in it." Yami looked a little scared when he told Dartz of what he saw. It was something he had never seen before in his short life.
Dartz laughed a little. "Oh Yami, that man was in a wheelchair. It's nothing to worry about." He spoke as he placed Yami on his lap. The red-eyed child eyes light up as he heard this.
"Can I have one? Pwease Daddy! Yami want to wide one." The little toddler bounced up and down.
"Sorry little one. Those are for the handicap."
"What dat?"
"It's someone who can not walk because something happened to them. Most of the people who need them only use a wheelchair for a while, but others need them for life."
"Will Yami need one?"
Dartz looked down at his son and smiled. "I hope you don't, but if you have a friend who does, just be nice and pay more attention to him or her and not the chair. You will get to know the person for more than their condition." Dartz patted his son on the head and Yami kissed him on the cheek and ran out of the room.
……
Yami thoughabout that day he learned what a wheelchair was ever since he met the boy he thought had the beauty of an angel. He looked at his calendar and noticed that in two weeks, it would be the Christmas Eve Dance at his school.
He was going with Tea, because she had forced him to go with her during the summer. He wished that he could go with Yugi, but Yugi had never left the hospital in years.
He wanted to get Yugi something for Christmas, but what??! 'Think Yami… think! What does Yugi like? Well, he loves Duel Monsters, Egypt and Atemu… THAT'S IT!'
Yami's brain had just hatched an idea. He took his phone that was next to his bed and his address book and looked up a number.
"Hello. This is Pegasus Crawford."
"Pegasus, this is Yami Sennen."
"Oh Yami-boy! It's been months since I last saw you and your family! How are they?"
"Their all fine. Can you do me a favor?"
"Anything for the son of my best friend."
"I need you to…"
……
Yugi sat in his room. He was waiting for when Yami would come and visit him today. He was so happy. Christmas was only two days away now and he could not wait to give his best friend his gift. Yugi asked his grandfather to get something from Egypt, because he wanted Yami to have something special from the little boy.
Amethyst eyes turned toward the window. Soft snow was falling onto the snow that was already on the ground below. Yugi rolled to the window. He opened it and stuck his hand out.
Cold, wet flacks that formed beautiful shapes when frozen, fell silently on to Yugi's soft pale skin. The petit boy loved winter. But because of his inability to walk, he could not play in the snow like most other kids and teens. A few tears fell down his cheeks.
"Yugi? Are you okay?" Said boy turned to see concerned red-eyes looking at him. Yami was next to him.
"Hi Yami. I'm fine. I was just looking out at the snow. Isn't it lovely?" Yugi gave a soft smile to his friend.
"Yes it is, but not as lovely as you Yugi." Yami said as he placed a small kiss on Yugi's forehead. Yugi blushed twelve shades of red.
Christmas Eve. Outside the hospital
Yami, Seto, and Tristan stepped out of the Sennen Corp. limo. Yami was dressed in a clean black suit with a blood-red tie. He had on a thin silver chain on and he wore his buckle boots. Seto wore a suit like Yami's but he had on a blue tie and did not wear a chain, but had on a wrist-watch.
Tristan had on a nice suit and a green and brown on tie. He looked very nice in his outfit. Tea wore a very tight and revealing dress that was a hot pink. She wore a lot a make-up on as will.
"Why are me here Yami? We need to get to the dance." Tea complained as they rode the elevator.
"Because, me, Yami, and Tristan need to give our friends gift for the holidays." Seto said as he looked at the small box in his hands. It was wrapped in shiny green paper with a silk blue ribbon on the top. Inside was a silver dog-tag. Written on it was "Joseph Wheeler" in very nice inscription.
On the back of the tag were the words "Seto's puppy", he had that on there because it was true. He and Joey were in love and he did not care on little bit if anyone thought of it. If it was wrong, hey he didn't want to be right.
The elevator stopped and the small group separated, except for Yami and Tea. Yami knocked on the door and when it opened he say Yugi. He was dressed in silk white pajamas with purple on the end of the sleeves, pants, and collar. The clear Christmas lights on the walls and window light up Yugi's body and it caused him to look like he was showing a soft glow.
"Yami! You came, and Merry Christmas to you and Tea." Yugi smiled but only to Yami.
"Hi Yugi, I came to give you a gift." He handed a small box to the smaller one. It was wrapped in a shining silver paper with holographic snow flacks on it.
The ribbons were red and purple mixed together. Yugi undid the ribbons lightly and placed them on the bed side table and pulled the paper off.
Yugi let out a gasp as he opened the box. Inside was a card. A card unlike any other in the entire game. It was a trap card called "Judgment of the Pharaoh" on it was Atemu. But he was not a doll, he was human again. He looked proud and bold. In the background were hieroglyphics.
"Yami… how… I…" Yugi stuttered as he looked up. Yami chuckled a little.
"My father is very good friends with the creator of Duel Monsters and I asked Pegasus to make a one of a kind card, just for you. I told him about you and Atemu. He said he would gladly make this card for you, and only you."
"Oh, Yami. This is the best thing I have ever gotten!" Yugi said as he hugged the taller one. "I have a present for you to." Yug spoke as he wheeled over to his bed. He pulled a black jewelry box with a small red bow on top.
Yami opened it. Inside was a cartouche that was gold. It had his name on it on one side, but on the other side, it was written in hieroglyphics. "Grandpa got it from Egypt. I asked him to get one for you so I could give it to you for Christmas Yami."
Yami smiled at Yugi and placed it around his neck. "Okay! Now that you guys gave each other gifts, let's go to the dance Yami love." Tea said as she began to push Yami out the door. He gave Yugi one last smile. "Merry Christmas Yugi."
"Merry Christmas… Yami." The door closed and Yugi cried. Atemu looked at Yugi and then at the card. He was surprised that Yami would do something like this for Yugi. He must really love him. Atemu must get those two together, and soon.
But how can Yami dance with Yugi here? They already knew what was going on because the red-eyed teen told them.
Out in the hall
"TEA! You could have waited a few more moments. The dance can wait for us." Yami said as he walked to the elevator.
"But Yami! I want to get there soon, so we can spend more time together tonight." Tea pleaded.
"What's going on here?" Tristan asked as he and Seto walked over to them. Seot was carrying a shoebox in his hands.
"What's with the box Seto?" Yami asked as the group walked into the elevator. Seto smirked as he opened it.
Inside were a hand-drawn card and a wrapped gift. It was wrapped in tissue paper. On the card was a picture of the Blue-eyes wearing a Santa hat. It was ripping paper off of a box in a cute way. Yami picked up the card and inside was a cute chibi Seto holding hands with a chibi Joey.
There was a little red heart above their heads. Written on the other side of the inside was "Merry X-mas Seto. I love you. From your favorite puppy, Joey Wheeler."
"Awww… that is so sweet of him to do that Seto." Yami said with a smile on his lips as he handed back the card.
"You should see what he made me." Seto spoke as he took the blue tissue paper off. Everyone gasps at a small clay Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It looked like it was about to take flight. "He made it in a hospital art class. Hey Yami, where did you get the cartouche from? Did Yugi give it to you?"
Yami smirked as he lifted it up for them to see. It glistened in the light from the elevator.
"Wow. That is so cool Yami." Tristan said to his friend. They soon got off and walked to the limo. Yami took one last look up at Yugi's window.
The Christmas lights were still on. He let out a soft sigh as he climbed in. He mouthed the words "I love you Yugi Mouto" as the limo drove off to the dance.
At the dance
"Come on! Let's dance Yami-love!" Tea said as she pulled on Yami's arm. He was leaning against a wall near the stage. Tea gave up when Yami did budge. She walked away just as a boy with brown hair and a girl in glasses came running on to the stage.
"Can we have everyone's attention?" The boy said as he spoke into the microphone on the stage. Everyone turned to look at them.
"We want to inform you that Sara Stewart is in the hospital from cancer. She wanted us to tell you that her father is the owner of the Domino Hospital, and she told him her dieing wish were for us to have the Christmas Eve Dance there." The girl spoke. Every one seem excited, but mostly Yami and Seto.
"Grab things so we can have them there and then we will go." That boy spoke as everyone did what they were told. Yami, Seto, and Tristan ran toward the limo as fast as they could so they could see Yugi, Joey, and Duke.
At the hospital an hour later
Yugi let out a sigh as he cleaned up his tears. He smiled as he looked at the card. It looked so much like Atemu, yet so much like Yami as well. Pegasus must have used Yami as a model for the card. Atemu lay in his lap. He too was looking at the holographic one-of-a-kind Duel Monsters card.
Yugi heard a knock on his bed room door. He opened it to see a very happy Joey looking at him. Yugi also noticed a dog-tag around his neck.
"Joey, what's going on?" Yugi asked.
"I'll show you. Its in the lobby downstairs." Joey said as he pushed Yugi and Atemu out the door and toward the elevator. Yugi was surprised; he had never been to the lobby since he was taken in here on the day his life changed forever. The little light on the first floor button light up.
Joey pushed Yugi out and he gasped. The place was covered in lights, silver, red, and green streamers were everywhere. There was a DJ, teens dancing as well as doctors and hospital staff. Even Mai was dancing. There was a huge tree covered in lights, garland, tensile, and ornaments.
It was lovely. Joey walked over to Yugi. "I'm going to go dance with my master. (wink) Try looking for your lover Yug. Later." Joey ran off toward the tall CEO. He jumped into his arms and planted a kiss on Seto's lips.
Joey was right. Yugi looked around for Yami. The lights in the room turned off and only the red and blue lights staid on. The people in the middle of the floor, parted in the center of the dance floor was Yami. He looked so handsome in the lights that flicked on-and-off for effect. He had his hand out. It looked like he wanted Yugi to dance with him.
A song began to play. It was Yugi's favorite on too. The DJ played Cascada's "Every Time We Touch." Yugi pushed on his hands which were on his arm rest. He closed his eyes.
I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you it's hard to survive.
Yugi pushed a little harder and then he heard a few gasp. Yugi looked down and saw that he was standing. Yami smiled as he looked at his angel, who was smiling at him. Yugi moved his right leg slowly. Atemu sat in the seat and watched his master.
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
I need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so.
I can't let you go.
I want you in my life.
Yugi walked slowly toward Yami and for the first time. Yami hugged Yugi as the boy jumped in his arms. "Yugi, you did it. You walked. Come. Let us dance." Yami said as he took Yugi's small hand.
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.
Yugi moved like water as he hung onto Yami for balanced as he moved to the music with the taller one. Joey grinned at Yugi, and soon joined in with Seto as his dance partner. Tea was fuming at this site of Yami dancing with a boy.
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
I need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go.
I want you in my life.
The little one looked into Yami's red-eyes with a dreamy look. He was enjoying this to no end as other people began to dance with them.
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss, I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast.
I want this to last.
I need you by my side.
As soon as the song ended, Yami locked his lips onto the boy he had wanted for so long. Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck as they deepened the kiss. Yami moved his tongue on Yugi's soft lips to get inside. Yugi gladly allowed it. Butterscotch-Angel-Delight met cinnamon and Egyptian spice.
This was truly the REAL greatest gift Yugi had ever gotten, ever.
--
The doorbell to the Kame Game Shop rang and Solomon Mouto was greeted by Yami coming in with a smirk on his face. He was dressed in casual clothing. "Hi Mr. Mouto. Is Yugi here?" Yami asked as he walked up to the front counter.
"Yes he is Yami. Let me get him. YUGI! YAMI'S HERE!"
The sound of feet running in was heard as Yugi ran into the store part of the house.
"Yami!" Yugi said as he ran toward his taller lover. Atemu was sticking out of the backpack that Yugi was wearing. "Were going to the park. I'll see you later Grandpa." Yugi said as he and his boyfriend walked outside.
It was late spring and the flowers blooming. Yugi was released from the hospital back in January. Yami took a quick glance at Yugi as the walked down the sidewalk. His brain just hatched an idea. Yugi let out an 'EEP!' as Yami scooped him up into his arms.
"YAMI! I can walk now, you know!" Yugi yelled at a grinning king of games.
"I know, but I just want to carry you in my arms forever." Yami told Yugi before giving a kiss on the lips. Atemu smiled. His master was happy and Yami was there to help him. Atemu got his wish.
The End
…………
After seven chapters, I finally finished my Puzzleshipping story. YAY! (Cries) Now I won't be able to work on it until I write the bonus chapter. In case you did not know, the dance being at the hospital was an idea I got from the season one finale of "Grey's Anatomy." I love that show.
I wanted this to be updated near Christmas, but I really wanted to get it updated so I put it up early.I love the song I put in here and I have always believed it to be a perfect Puzzleshipping theme. I hope you enjoyed this. Please review for me, thank you. Later!
