Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or the song 12 Days of Christmas…though the made up lyrics are mine.
A/N: I forgot to mention this but I will be updating this story once a day everyday until Christmas. On Christmas Eve I'll post days 11 and 12 since I'm almost certain I won't be on the computer on Christmas.
-December 16-
Atemu and Yami were both sitting in front of the television controllers clutched in hand while their faced were the picture of concentration as they focused all their attention on defeating the boss on a video game.
The two both loved to play video games but neither really had the time to do so, and so when Atemu had casually suggested that they play one this morning both were eager to play.
"Yami, you run to the right and get those guys and I'll cover you." Atemu said.
"Got it Até." Yami said before the two fell silent again while, the only sounds that were being made were coming the television. Twenty minutes later, both men smirked when the boss fell to the ground defeated.
Yami grinning broadly said, "That was a great game Atemu, you should really make a sequel to it."
Atemu nodded agreeing with Yami one hundred percent and already noted that after the holidays he'd have to get a team together to work on drafting a sequel to that game.
With a sigh Yami picked up the controllers and turned off the television before he turned to look at Atemu who had also gotten to his feet and wrapped his arms around Yami, his hand resting on Yami's stomach…something he'd been doing a lot since Yami had told him the news.
Yami's eyes widened before he said, "Oh shit!"
Atemu frowned, "Yami, baby what's wrong?"
Yami turned around and said, "We still haven't told our families."
Atemu continued to frown, "Told our families what Yami?"
Yami smacked Atemu on the shoulder before he said, "What do you think Atemu? We still haven't told our families that we're expecting!"
Atemu's eyes widened as well when he realized what Yami was getting at. "Shit you're right."
"We need to tell them Atemu. Tonight." Yami said.
Atemu nodded, "Alright Yami, we can tell them. You want to call your grandfather and tell him first…or do you want to tell my parents first?" Atemu asked.
Yami sighed and said, "Atemu, why don't we just invite both our families over for dinner and tell them together?"
Atemu thought about that for a few minutes. On the one hand he agreed that this was probably news best told in person and not over the phone and that by having both Yami's family and his over for dinner they could tell everyone at once instead of having to tell everyone separately.
On the other hand, he'd rather not be getting the stink eye from Yami's grandfather all night. Yami's grandpa was never pleased with the amount of time Atemu spends at work nor was he happy about the fact that he and Yami had been together for five years and Yami still didn't have a ring on his finger. Atemu had heard him ask Yami why he didn't just ask Atemu to marry him.
Flashback
A blushing Yami replied, "Well, a girl isn't supposed to propose to a guy right."
Grandpa gazed at his grandson thoughtfully before he slowly nodded, though he failed to see what this had to do with anything. "That is correct Yami, a girl isn't supposed to propose to the guy."
Yami's blush darkened before he mumbled, "Well grandpa…that's kind of like what you've asked me to do. I'm the uke…which means that as far as Atemu's and my relationship is concerned I'm the girl. So, no I can't ask him to marry me. It isn't my place to pop the question…it's his."
Grandpa just nodded before he turned back to sweeping the shop.
End Flashback
Atemu sighed, that conversation had taken place back when he and Yami had been together only two years…and despite the fact that Yami had never brought it up it didn't change the fact that his grandfather would glare at Atemu and make comments about how clearly he didn't care about his grandson the way he should…and that Yami not only could but should find someone better suited for him.
Yami lightly rested his hand on Atemu's cheek, drawing him from his thoughts and said, "Please Atemu."
Atemu nodded, he'd deal with Yami's grandfather during dinner if that was what Yami wanted him to do.
"Alright, so I'll call my parents and you call your grandfather. We'll have them over for dinner tonight at six." Atemu said.
Yami nodded and pressed his lips to Atemu's briefly before wandering into the kitchen to call his grandfather.
Atemu walked over to the end table where his cellphone had been sitting since yesterday morning and picked it up and dialed his parent's number. One the second ring someone answered.
"Aknamkanon Sennen speaking."
"Hey dad its me." Atemu said.
"Atemu? What can I do for you son?" Aknamkanon asked.
"Well, Yami and I were wondering if you and mom could come over to our place for dinner tonight? We'll be eating at six." Atemu said.
Aknamkanon was quiet for a few seconds before he said, "Yes Atemu, your mother and I will be there. Might I ask what the occasion is?"
Atemu bit his lip, since he didn't want to tell his father what was going on…and even just saying that they had an announcement would be tipping his father off. Finally he decided on saying, "No occasion dad. It is the holiday season and Yami and I decided to have a family dinner. That's all."
"Very well, we'll see you then son." Aknamkanon replied.
"Great." Atemu said before he and his father said their good-byes and hung up.
Atemu then walked into the kitchen just in time to see Yami hanging up the phone, "My grandpa said he'll be here."
Atemu nodded and wrapped his arms around Yami, "That's good, now the real question, what are we going to serve them for dinner?"
Yami looked thoughtful for a second before he said, "I'll whip up lasagna and we can serve salad too."
Atemu smirked, "You know that's a favorite meal of mine Yami."
Yami nodded, "Yes, I know that Atemu. I figured that given you'll have to deal with my grandfather, who I know you don't really like, the least I could do would be to make your favorite food."
Atemu chuckled, "Have I mentioned today how much I love you Yami?"
"You might have mentioned it Até." Yami said.
"Well, clearly if its only a 'might' then I didn't say it clearly enough." Atemu said, leaning down and capturing Yami's lips. Once he pulled away he said, "I love you Yami Motou. Very much."
"Love you too Atemu."
Yami then pulled away and began to wander around the kitchen whipping up dinner. Atemu wandered down into the cellar and pulled out a good bottle of wine. He knew that Yami wouldn't be able to drink, but he knew that his parents and Yami's grandfather would certainly like a glass.
He carried the bottle upstairs and set the bottle in the fridge before he went and dug out the good china and began to set the table.
Forty-five minutes later there was a knock on the door. Atemu walked over to the door and opened it revealing his parents…and to his disappointment he could see Yami's grandfather making his way up the drive.
Atemu let all three in and showed them into the living room. "Please, make yourselves at home. Dinner will be done shortly. While we're waiting would you care for a glass of wine?"
"Wine would be wonderful dear." Atemu's mother Heket said with a smile.
"Yes, I'd like a glass as well my boy." Aknamkanon said. Solomon nodding his agreement.
Atemu nodded and walked out of the living room and collected three wine glasses and filled them with wine before carrying them out and serving them to their guests and taking a seat in the living room. He'd have helped Yami in the kitchen, but one of them needed to entertain their guests.
"So, how has business been my boy?" Aknamkanon asked once he'd taken a sip of his wine.
"Business has been going well. We had a few mistakes at the warehouse but other than that things have been going pretty smoothly." Atemu said, lightly glazing over all the problems that he had been hounded with over the last couple of weeks.
His father gave him a knowing look but said nothing else on the subject. About a minute later Yami walked out into the living room and said, "Dinner is served."
The five made their way into the dining room and enjoyed Yami's wonderful cooking. Once Yami and Atemu had cleared the dishes away all five settled down in the living room.
Yami glanced at Atemu briefly who nodded, understanding that he wanted to tell them the news now.
Atemu rose to his feet, Yami rising with him and said, "Mom, Dad. Mr. Motou. Yami and I have an announcement."
"You've finally asked my grandson to marry you?" Solomon asked.
Yami blushed but shook his head, "No grandpa."
"Then what is it?" Aknamkanon asked and Atemu could tell that he was genuinely curious.
"Well, Yami's pregnant." Atemu said.
For a moment all was silent before all three promptly fainted. Atemu and Yami just stood there shocked. Atemu looked at Yami and said, "Was that supposed to happen?"
Yami shrugged before he walked away from Atemu and began to try and shake his grandfather awake. Atemu went and tended to his own parents.
Ten minutes later Atemu's parents and Yami's grandfather had all regained consciousness.
"Did we hear you correctly son? Because I could have sworn that you had told me that I'm going to be a grandfather." Aknamkanon said.
Atemu nodded, "Yes dad you heard me correctly. Yami's one month along." Atemu said, his arm snaked around Yami's waist.
"And you still haven't asked him to marry you?" Solomon said.
Yami sighed, "Grandpa please drop it. Can't you just be happy that I'm happy and that you're going to be a great grandfather?" Yami said.
With a slight glare at Atemu Solomon nodded. "I suppose." He mumbled before glaring at Atemu again, "Though I'm warning you Mr. you abandon my grandson with your child and they'll never find your body."
Atemu just chuckled.
An hour later Atemu's parents and Yami's grandfather took their leave. Leaving Atemu and Yami alone once again. With a huge grin on his face Atemu began to sing, "On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me…" He paused and with a laugh sang, "Three fainting relatives."
Yami chuckled as well and sang, "Two hours skating."
"And a great, life changing piece of news" Atemu finished.
Yami shook his head and said, "And why do you think our families fainting is a gift?"
"Because it was funny." Atemu said. Yami just laughed before Atemu leaned down and silenced him with a kiss.
A/N: This concludes day three…until tomorrow.
