Author's Note: I wonder how many people are brave enough to actually read this one. ...How many of you trust me that much? I'm so happy that reviews for this have topped 150 now! You guys are so wonderful! I'm glad for all of you. I was up very early this morning (very early to me) so I thought I'd get this up sooner rather than later. The bathroom is getting extended and I stepped on a nail in the yard while picking up debris. That wouldn't have been so bad, except that, like ten seconds earlier I had been warned about them and told I should have shoes on instead of the sandals I was wearing. Now I feel so stupid...and in pain.
Rating: PG-T
Yu-Gi-Oh! Shipping List #42 - "Carried Away"
--------------------------------------------
Cardshipping (Sugoroku x Yuugi)
It had all started with a simple question.
"Grandpa, do you know how to dance?"
Sugoroku's eyes lit up like the lights on a Christmas tree. "Do I know how to dance?" he scoffed, his tone saying that Yugi was in for a whale of a bragging session. "Why in my day, they used to call me the Lord of the Dance!"
Yugi had the grace not to comment.
"Folks would come from miles around just to see your grandpa at a dance party! The girls couldn't get enough of me and the boys…they were so jealous they all looked at me red in the face!"
Perhaps they had been embarrassed… Yugi said nothing.
"What dance in particular did you want to learn? The waltz, the foxtrot, the tango? Or maybe the moonwalk or the robot? I know them all!"
Yugi sighed, rubbing the back of his neck with one hand. "Well, it's just, Anzu invited me to this formal thing she got invited to and…I really don't know any formal dances. I don't want to embarrass her. I want to be there for Anzu whenever I can."
Sugoroku nodded sagely, likely imagining Anzu in a low cut ball gown, if Yugi knew his grandfather.
"Yes." he said, continuing to nod. "It wouldn't do for you to disappoint a lady. Alright, then!" Sugoroku held out his hands expectantly and Yugi took them, stepping forward to mirror his grandfather's stance.
Sugoroku hummed loudly, leading Yugi through basic steps, his grandson concentrating on memorizing the steps.
"I used to go dancing with your grandmother every Saturday night." Sugoroku said, reminiscing.
Yugi smiled. His grandfather was always happiest when speaking of his grandmother.
"Your grandmother was known as the Salsa Queen but just between you and me, she danced a mean tango too."
Sugoroku switched dances in mid-step and Yugi was really having too much fun to complain. Sugoroku closed his eyes, reliving the days of his youth, dancing to a fast beat that only he could hear, leading Yugi across the floor of the card shop, their hands held together, arms stretched away from them in a dramatic pose. His grandfather pranced across the room and Yugi had to bite back a laugh.
As the song in his head came to a close, Sugoroku dipped Yugi low and bent forward, pressing his lips against his partner's with a resounding smack…the sound seemed to confuse him and Sugoroku opened his eyes to find Yugi staring back at him in shock. Sugoroku straightened, stepping back a few paces, coughed into his fist and nodded curtly.
"Yes, well, as you can see, that's how it's done."
Yugi nodded dumbly.
… "I'm going to pretend that didn't happen."
Sugoroku nodded with him. "Good idea."
Yugi nodded again and turned to head upstairs to wash his mouth and silence the raucous laughter in his head.
Post whatevers: Next up: Marik x Bakura x Seto. As always, if you liked, please review. Ja!
