Okay. I'd like to remind everyone that Jun is a five-year-old boy. You'll understand the reminder later.

Enjoy!


Chapter 39- Christmas Day

Touma and Seiji were sleeping soundly in bed.

Seiji had his arms wrapped around Touma, and Touma's bed was resting on Seiji's chest as they slept.

The door to their room opened, and a moment later, someone jumped on the bed with them.

"Papa! Daddy! Wake up! It's Christmas!" Jun cried.

Both Seiji and Touma opened their eyes to look at their son.

"All right, Jun. Go on. We'll be up in a minute." Touma said.

Jun nodded excitedly before eh jumped off the bed and darted out of the room.

Touma sighed before he sat up.

"It's too early for this." Seiji muttered.

"Seiji, he's a kid. He gets very excited about Christmas. I should know. He's woken me up this early the last three years. We might as well get up." Touma said.

"All right. I'm getting up." Seiji said as he also sat up.

The two climbed out of bed and put their robes on before they walked out of their room.

"Should we get the boys up?" Seiji asked.

"I wouldn't worry about it." Touma said.

"Why not?" Seiji asked.

"Because Jun will have them up before you know it." Touma replied as they went downstairs.

"Sure that they won't kill him?" Seiji asked.

"The only ones we would have to worry about are Bakura and Marik, and I think that Ryou and Malik have enough control over them to make sure that they don't do anything to hurt Jun." Touma said.

"Point taken." Seiji agreed.

"Well, we might as well get breakfast started." Touma said as they entered the kitchen.


Yugi and Yami were sound asleep in Yugi's room, content with just laying in bed with each other.

The door to the room opened.

"Yugi!" Jun cried as he launched himself onto the bed right onto Yugi.

"Ah! Jun!" Yugi exclaimed.

Jun giggled. "Come on, Yugi! Get up! It's Christmas!" Jun said.

Yami groaned. "Jun, it's way too early." Yami said.

"But it's Christmas!" Jun protested.

"We'll be down in a minute." Yugi assured the young boy.

Jun nodded before he darted from the room.

"Yugi, it's way too early to be getting up. It feels like we just got to sleep." Yami said.

Yugi sat up. "That's your own fault for wanting to go three rounds last night. Now get out of bed." Yugi said.

"Fine." Yami said, getting up.

Yugi also got out of bed.


Seto and Jou were sleeping curled up against each other.

Neither were aware when the door opened, but they were aware when Jun jumped on the bed with them.

"Seto! Jou! Get up! It's Christmas!" Jun said excitedly.

Seto opened his eyes and looked into the boy's shining eyes. "All right. We'll get up." Seto said.

"Okay!" Jun said before scampering out of the room.

Seto shook Jou. "Jou, get up." Seto said.

"No." Jou said stubbornly.

"Jou, you know that if you don't get up, Jun's just going to come back up here and bug you until you finally get out of bed." Seto said.

"I don't want to get up. It's too early." Jou whined.

"Jou, get your ass out of bed. Getting up early one morning won't kill you." Seto snapped.

"Fine!" Jou retorted, finally getting out of bed.


Heba was sleeping soundly in his room alone.

Jun entered the room and ran over to Heba. "Heba! Get up! It's Christmas!" Jun said happily.

Heba opened his eyes and looked into Jun's shining eyes. He smiled and said, "Okay, Jun. I'll get up." Heba said.

"Great!" Heba said.

"Who haven't you gotten up yet?" Heba asked.

"Um, Atemu, Ryou, Malik, Marik, and Bakura." Jun replied.

"Well, I'll wake Atemu up, and leave the others to you." Heba said.

Jun nodded before running from the room.

Heba shook his head. 'Jun loves today.' Heba thought.


Bakura and Ryou were sleeping soundly in their room.

The door opened, and Jun launched onto the bed. "Bakura! Ryou! Get up! Christmas is here!" Jun exclaimed.

Bakura grunted at being woken up so early when he didn't want to get up.

Ryou looked at the young boy and smiled. "Okay, Jun. We'll be down in a minute." Ryou assured him.

Jun nodded and ran out of the room.

"I'm going to murder that kid." Bakura muttered.

"Kura, Jun's a kid, and he's excited about Christmas. He does this every year." Ryou said.

"I just don't want to get up right now." Bakura replied.

"Bakura, get up. We need to go on downstairs." Ryou said.

"Why?" Bakura asked.

"Because if you don't get up, you won't be getting anything tonight." Ryou said.

Bakura's eyes shot open, "You wouldn't?" Bakura said.

Ryou smirked and said, "Try me."

Bakura got out of bed. "I've taught you too well." Bakura muttered.

Ryou giggled. "Well, you were the one that wanted me to be more devious." Ryou said.


Marik and Malik were sound asleep in their room.

The door to the room was thrown open, and Jun ran into the room, jumping onto the bed. "Marik! Malik! Get up! It's Christmas!" Jun said excitedly.

Marik awoke with a start. "What are you doing?!" Marik exclaimed.

"Getting you up. It's Christmas." Jun said.

"Okay, Jun. We're up." Malik said.

Jun nodded and ran from the room.

Marik looked at the clock and groaned. "I can't believe that that kid got us up at five-thirty in the morning." Marik said.

"Marik, Jun is a kid, and kids love Christmas. He get us all up like this every year." Malik said.

"I wish that he had skipped getting us up this year." Marik muttered.

"Come on, Marik. Get up. If you don't, Jun will be back up here." Malik said.

"Okay. Fine." Marik said as he got out of bed along with Malik.


Atemu was sleeping soundly.

The door opened, and Heba walked into the room. He went over to the bed and reached out, shaking Atemu. "Atemu, get up." Heba said.

Atemu didn't even stir.

"Atemu, get up." Heba said, shaking Atemu even harder.

Atemu still didn't give up.

Heba groaned. 'Maybe I should have let Jun get him up.' Heba thought. He then got an idea on how to get Atemu up. Heba climbed onto the bed with Atemu and straddled him at the waist before he leaned down and kissed Atemu.

The kiss did wake Atemu up. He was surprised to find that Heba was kissing him, but he certainly didn't mind. H wrapped his arms around Heba and kissed him back.

Heba finally broke the kiss.

"Hmm. That was quite the good morning kiss." Atemu said.

"Good. Now, get up." Heba said before getting off of Atemu.

"At five-thirty in the morning!" Atemu exclaimed.

"Jun came into my room and woke me up. It's Christmas morning, and he's rather excited about it. So, you might as well get up before he comes in here and jumps on you like he did me." Heba said.

"Oh, all right." Atemu agreed.

Atemu got out of bed, and the two left the room.


Seiji had the breakfast of bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, toast, and waffles ready by the time everyone got downstairs.

"Good morning. Glad to see that you all got out of bed." Seiji said.

"Yeah. Yeah." Bakura said.

"Can we open presents now?" Jun asked.

"No, Jun. First, we eat breakfast. Then we'll open the gifts. You know that's how we do things." Touma said.

"Okay, Papa." Jun said.

Everyone sat down at the table to eat.

Once they were done eating, Yugi and Ryou washed up the dishes for them before everyone went into the living room.

"Can we open the presents now?" Jun asked.

"Yes, Jun. We're going to open the gifts now." Touma said.

Seiji, Yami, Malik, and Heba all helped to sort out all of the gifts into the piles of whose was who.

Everyone started to open their gifts.

Jun ended up getting a lot of new toys, which thrilled him.

"Did you guys get him enough toys?" Touma asked.

"Come on, Touma. It's not like he won't play with them." Yugi said.

"I know." Touma said.

"Come on, Jun. There's one other present for you." Seiji said.

"Really?" Jun asked, his eyes lighting up.

"Come on." Touma said as Seiji helped him get up.

The group got up and headed outside.

Jun was surprised to find a bike on the back porch. "A bike?!" Jun exclaimed.

"Yes. We decided to get you bike since you wanted one so much." Touma said.

"All right! Thank you, Papa! Thank you, Daddy!" Jun exclaimed.

The group laughed at Jun's antics. They all knew that Jun would love that bike.

"Well, given that it's kind of cold, I think that we should head back in." Yugi said, not wanting any of them to get sick.

The group headed back in.

"There's one more gift that we need to give." Ryou said.

"What's that?" Seiji asked.

Yami got an envelope from the mantel and handed it to Touma. "This is from all of us to both of you." Yami said.

Touma opened it, and he and Seiji were surprised to find a five hundred dollar gift card to a baby store.

"What's this?" Seiji asked.

"Well, we know that there's still a lot that you guys need to do to get the nursery ready for when the new baby comes, but we have no clue what you guys want, so we figured that we would get you that, and you could get whatever you wanted for the nursery." Yugi explained.

"You guys didn't have to do this." Touma said.

"We know. We wanted to, though." Malik said.

"This is a lot of money, though." Seiji said.

"Not really. There were ten of us in this, so it wasn't as bad as you think." Yami said.

"Well, thank you. It means a lot, guys." Touma said.

"No problem, Tou. We were just glad to help." Yugi said.

"Well, this is certainly a surprise, but we appreciate it." Seiji said.

Jun had already gone to playing with some of his toys.

Touma sat down in a chair to play with his son.

Yami and Atemu grabbed Seiji and pulled him aside.

"What?" Seiji asked.

"When are you going to give it to Touma?" Atemu asked.

"Later. I'm going to take him somewhere first." Seiji said.

"Okay. We were just making sure that you weren't chickening out." Yami said.

"No, I'm not." Seiji replied.

"Good. I would hate to have to kill you." Atemu said.

"Knock it off. I'm going to ask him, but we're going to be alone when I do." Seiji said.


Around five that afternoon, Seiji walked up to Touma and said, "Touma, get your coat. There's somewhere that I want to take you."

"Now?" Touma asked.

"Yes. Now." Seiji replied.

"Why? I mean, it's Christmas. It's supposed to be when family and friends are together." Touma protested.

"I know, but the boys will be fine on their own for a little while." Seiji said.

"All right. If you say so." Touma said.

"Thanks." Seiji said.

Touma went and got his coat before the two left the house.


"Yugi." Jun said.

"What is it, Jun?" Yugi asked.

"Where did Daddy and Papa go?" Jun asked.

"They just went somewhere together for a little while. They'll be back before you know it." Yugi said.

"They will?" Jun asked.

"Of course they will. Don't worry. They'll be back." Yami assured him.

"Okay." Jun said.

"Come on. Why don't we play?" Yugi asked.

"Okay!" Jun said excitedly.

Yugi and Yami sat down in the floor with Jun to play with him to keep him occupied until Seiji and Touma got back.


Seiji had driven him and Touma out to the lake where there were white Christmas lights lining the trees.

"Seiji, do you mind me asking why you drive us out here?" Touma asked.

"No, I don't. I just wanted to come here became there's something important that I wanted to talk to you about." Seiji said.

"There is?" Touma asked, rather surprised.

Seiji nodded. "Touma, I know that we've already talked about this before, but I made a big mistake in letting you go five years ago." Seiji said.

"Seiji-" Touma started.

"Let me finish, Tou." Seiji said. After receiving a nod from Touma, Seiji continued. "Like I said, I made a big mistake when I left you back then, and I was beyond thrilled that you were willing to give me another chance, and I am not going to let you go again." Seiji said. He took a black box out of his pocket and said, "Touma, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so I was wondering if you would marry me." Seiji opened the box to reveal a ring.

Touma gasped. That was the last thing that he had expected Seiji to ask him. "A-are you serious?" Touma asked.

"Very serious, Touma. I want you to marry me." Seiji said.

Touma smiled and said "Of course I'll marry you, Seiji."

Seiji smiled and then leaned forward to kiss Touma, who happily kissed Seiji back.

"You have no idea how happy you've made me." Seiji said.

"Actually, I think that I do have an idea." Touma said.

Seiji smiled and then put the ring on Touma's finger. "You know, I thin that Jun's gotten his wish." Seiji said.

Touma blinked, a little confused. "What wish?" Touma asked.

"He wanted us to be a family. I know we pretty much have been lately, but I think that this will makes it more official." Seiji said.

Touma smiled. "I agree. I know I certainly got my wish." Touma said.

Seiji smiled and leaned in to kiss Touma again.


Atemu and Heba were in Heba's room alone.

"What's going on?" Heba asked.

"Well, I didn't give you your present earlier with the others because I wanted to give it to you alone." Atemu said.

"Really. What is it?" Heba asked.

Atemu walked over to his desk and took out a box. "This is what I got for you." Atemu said.

Heba took the gift and unwrapped it. He opened the black, velvet box and was shocked to find a gold necklace inside. "What's this?" Heba asked.

"My gift. It's a picture locket." Atemu said.

Heba took out the locket and opened it to find that it held a picture of the two of them when Atemu had his arms wrapped around Heba. "Atemu, this is beautiful." Heba said.

"Look at the inscription on the back." Atemu said.

Heba looked at the back and saw that it read: Yours Always, Atemu. He looked up at Atemu and said. "I love it, Atemu. Thank you." Heba said.

Atemu smiled. "Anything for you." Atemu said. He took the necklace from Heba and unclasped the back and put it around Heba's neck.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to go and get your gift." Heba said. He left and then returned with the gift. "Here." Heba said.

Atemu took the gift and unwrapped it. He was surprised when he found that it was a framed picture of them when they went out on their date.

"Do you like it?" Heba asked.

"I love it. Thank you, Heba." Atemu said.

Heba smiled. "I'm glad that you like it." Heba said.

"Of course I do, Heba." Atemu said. He leaned forward and kissed Heba, who happily kissed back.


Bakura and Ryou were in their room.

"I didn't want those guys bugging me, so here's your gift, Ryou." Bakura said, handing Ryou a wrapped gift.

"Thanks, Bakura." Ryou said. He took the gift and unwrapped it. It was a ring with an inscription that said: You will always be mine. Ryou smiled and said, "Thanks, Bakura. I'm always going to wear it."

"Good." Bakura said.

Ryou walked over to the desk and took out a gift. "Here's yours, Bakura." Ryou said.

Bakura took the gift and unwrapped it. It was a dagger that had had white and brown jewels in the hilt. An inscription on the blade read From Ryou.

Bakura also had a fascination for weapons, although his was mainly small dagger.

Bakura smiled and said, "Thanks, Ryou. I love it."

"I knew you would." Ryou said.

Bakura grabbed Ryou and pulled him into a heated kiss.


Seto and Jou were in their room.

"Um, Seto. Here's your Christmas gift from me." Jou said.

Seto was surprised to see such a big box. "Thanks, Puppy." Seto said. He unwrapped the box and was surprised to find that it was a laptop. "You got me a laptop?" Seto asked.

"Well, yeah. I figured I should since I broke your old one." Jou said.

"Puppy, you realize that I had a hand in that, too." Seto said.

The laptop had been broken when Jou accidentally knocked it off the desk when Seto pushed him onto it when they were making love one day.

"Yeah, well, I still thought that I should get it for you." Jou said.

"Thanks, Puppy. I really appreciate it." Seto said. He went to the closet and took out a box as well. "This is yours." Seto said.

Jou took the box and unwrapped it. It was a stereo. "A stereo?" Jou asked.

"Yeah. You know that we broke that, too." Seto said.

Jou laughed. "I think that we had better be more careful." Jou said.

"Yeah. We really should." Seto agreed.


Marik and Malik were in their room alone.

"Here, Malik. This is what I got you for Christmas." Marik said, handing Malik a box.

Malik took it out and opened it. He was surprised to find an Egyptian necklace in the box along with an Egyptian dagger.

"I knew that you kind of missed Egypt, so I figured that you would like this." Marik said.

Malik smiled. "Thank you, Marik! I really like this." Malik said.

Marik smiled. "I'm glad that you like it." Marik said.

Malik then went and got out a box. "This is what I got you, Marik." Malik said.

Marik took the box and opened it. He found that it was an antique sword. "This is that sword I saw in that new shop that one time!" Marik exclaimed.

Malik laughed. "Yeah. I went back and got it. I figured that you would like it." Malik said.

"I do. I really do. Thanks, Malik." Marik said.

"Any time." Malik said.

Marik then grabbed Malik and pulled him into a heated kiss.


After Seiji and Touma got back, Yugi and Yami had gone up to Yugi's room.

"Yami, here's your Christmas gift." Yugi said, giving Yami a box.

"Thanks, Yugi." Yami said. He opened the gift to find that it was an antique Egyptian necklace.

"I remembered you saying that you were half Egyptian, so I thought that you would like this." Yugi said.

"I do, Yugi. I love it. Thank you." Yami said.

Yugi nodded.

"I'll be right back." Yami said. He left and returned with a box. "This is what I got for you." Yami said.

Yugi took the box from Yami. "Thank you, Yami." Yugi said. He then unwrapped the gift and found that it was a heart-shaped locket. On the front, it said: For my Little One Love, Yami. "Thanks you, Yami. I love it." Yugi said.

"Open it." Yami said.

Yugi opened the locket and found that it was a picture of them. Yugi smiled and said, "Thank you, Yami. I love this." Yugi said.

"I'm glad that you like it, Yugi." Yami said. He took it from Yugi and then put the necklace around Yugi's neck.

"Of course I love it, Yami." Yugi said.

Yami leaned forward and kissed Yugi.


That night, after everyone had gone to bed, Seiji and Touma were just laying in bed together.

"You know, there's a lot that we're going to have to do to get ready for a wedding." Touma said.

"I know, and I don't mind." Seiji said.

"Well, I'll tell you now that we are not having a wedding until after this baby comes." Touma said.

Seiji laughed. "That's fine with me." Seiji said.

"I still don't see how I didn't see this coming." Touma said.

"Probably because I made sure that you didn't know. I wanted it to be a big surprise. I'm glad that I managed to do it." Seiji said.

"Did anyone know what you were planning?" Touma asked.

"Only Yami and Atemu, and that's because they helped me a lot with it." Seiji said.

"Well, I'm glad that you asked." Touma said.

"So am I." Seiji said. He leaned down and kissed Touma, who gladly kissed him back.


Hope you liked it. I tried to make it a little fluffy.

Next: A bit of trouble comes.

R&R.
