Well, this is the present that got lost in the mail and arrives a day late. So while you're returning some of your presents, remember that I never got to own Yugioh!

"Merry Christmas!"

The music flooded out the open door. Its opener, Mokuba, smiled. "Merry Christmas to you guys too!" He stepped aside and yelled back, "Everyone's here!"

It was Yami and Seto's Christmas party. They had allowed everyone the morning to be with family but invited them to spend time with friends and their boyfriend in the afternoon here. Not in those exact words, but that was their logic behind the time. Yami waved to the last guests as they walked up to him.

"Terribly sorry we're late," Ryou said, his face flushed from cold, "We lost track of time."

"I was teaching Ryou how to drive a motorcycle!" Malik said, smiling broadly, "He's actually not that bad."

Yami smiled back. "It's fine. Your yamis didn't arrive until just a minute ago."

There were not many people there, even though everyone was there. They'd invited the other couples in their group and also the few gay or lesbian couples from Domino High. Everyone was enjoying the party, especially since many of their parents either didn't know about their preference or didn't like it. Ryou saw Yugi and dragged his boyfriend over to say hi. Seto draped his arms around Yami.

"Liking the party, Seto?" Yami asked, leaning his head back to see him.

"I don't know. People are staring."

"That's because you're effectively coming out," Noa piped up as he and Mokuba walked by.

Seto's face drained and he swore. He stood back up and took a deep breath. "It's not bad. Now at least some people know. And they're like us."

Yami said, "See? It's a good party." Seto kissed him and the two of them heading through the crowd to mingle.

The party lasted all afternoon and deep into the night. The rest of the party had left by 10, but Yugi, Joey, Malik, Marik, Bakura, and Ryou had stayed to help clean up. And possibly kiss.

From the way Malik and Ryou were acting, there was no doubt they'd stayed to kiss.

"Those two live together and still can't keep their hands off each other!" Bakura grumbled as he swept up some trash.

Marik sighed and lifted his dust pan. "Better here than on the motorcycle."

On the other side of the room, Yugi was helping Yami clean the snack table. "How is Joey doing?" Yami asked awkwardly, trying to make conversation with the light he rarely saw.

"He's doing good. Did you know he stayed here for Christmas instead of going to see his sister?"

"That's pretty big."

"Yeah," Yugi said, picking up an end of the plastic tablecloth, "He's leaving tomorrow to head there for New Year's, though."

"I guess he likes you as much as he likes Serenity," Yami commented, grabbing the other end.

They walked to each other to fold it up. While he walked, Yugi replied, "He loves me as much as Serenity. In a different way, of course."

Yami understood the correction. "He said it?" Yugi nodded. "Congratulations." Yugi picked up the plastic bundle and started to walk off. "Yugi?"

Yugi turned around and Yami ran to his side. "I'm so sorry we've fallen out of touch. I didn't know moving in here would effect us so much. Can we...hang out tomorrow?"

Yugi grinned. "Yeah! Sure! You don't know how great it is to hear you say that!"

Yami smiled back and let Yugi continue taking the tablecloth away.

Meanwhile, Joey and Seto were watching their almost identical boyfriends work. In total silence. Well, until Seto said, "We have a problem, mutt."

"What, moneybags?" Joey snapped back.

"Mokuba has photos of that kiss."

"He has what?" Now he had his attention.

"Actually, Noa stole them from Mokuba and has been blackmailing me. No doubt Yami will give a copy to Yugi and attempt to blackmail you."

"Yug' wouldn't do that."

Seto almost hit the mutt. That wasn't what he was trying to say! He'd forgotten rule six of talking to Joey: Be blunt. "Maybe not, but Yami might."

Joey's face paled in horror. "Aw no." He swore. "How do we get it away from them?"

"We don't." Joey turned to Seto to see if he was joking. Not surprising him in the least, he wasn't. "Noa's a Kaiba. He probably has that picture on eight hard drives password protected in three different languages. I was just warning you so he doesn't take you by surprise. Consider that my Christmas present to you." He then pushed off the wall and went to check on the others, leaving Joey to panic.

"Well," Mokuba commented from his spot on the top of the stairs, "This was a good Christmas!"

"Get everything you want?" Noa asked.

"The new Kirby game, that CD I've been wanting for months...Yeah, I got everything I really wanted." He smiled at Noa. "Did you?"

"Not really." Mokuba looked at him and he smirked. "You haven't kissed me yet."

Mokuba laughed and smacked him gently. "You sap!"

So, it was a good Christmas for all, from the moment they woke up and sprung out of bed to the moment the clocks turned it into the 26th. The six who had to leave left after midnight, all smiling. Yugi and Joey started walking back, Bakura and Marik hailed a taxi, and Ryou got on his boyfriend's motorcycle. Malik climbed on behind him and started reminding him how to start it. The Kaibas plus Yami stood at the door and watched their guests depart. Then, when all the forms disappeared into the night, they walked back inside, closing the door behind them. And closing the door on another Christmas.

I hope you all enjoyed the drabbles. Sure, I missed a couple of days, but we're here the day after Christmas and the last drabble is more like a one-shot to end the fun! I didn't get to get on the computer at all on Christmas Eve, so please don't complain about it! And remember, just because it's over doesn't mean I don't want reviews! So please do! Love you all! Hope you had a Merry Christmas everyone!
