Chapter 2
Dear Santa,
Thank you soooo much for last year’s present! I have no idea how you managed to get a copy of the Double Helix video game when every store sold out in one day and I really don’t care either. It’s a great game and I love it!
And, ummm, Santa I can TOTALLY explain what happened at the mall last weekend. See, this will be Yami’s first Christmas in his own body, and well, while he DID see all of the Christmas displays like the Santa’s village and stuff through my eyes, he never really got the full grasp of it.
I swear! Him hitting that mall Santa was a completely innocent reflex! He just saw someone looming ominously (he thought) over his shoulder out of the corner of his eye! And y’know with the white hair and all he thought it was Bakura trying to pull a prank on him or something.
Ok, so maybe it wasn’t an innocent one, per say, but it WAS just a reflex.
He didn’t mean to send that fake elf to the Shadow Realm either; he thought I was being sexually harassed. (I so do NOT look young enough to sit in a mall Santa’s lap!)
Any way in spite of Yami’s perverted influence I’ve been well behaved this year (except for that one time I forgot about helping Jii-chan and went to the arcade with the guys instead).
For Christmas I’d like a new duel disk (my old one got knocked off my nightstand), that new game board for Capsule Monsters, and the hardest puzzle game you can find. (PLEASE I need a challenge!)
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Yugi Moto
P.S. If you can do anything to make Kaiba-kun’s holiday easier I’m sure he’d appreciate it, he seems stressed.
“I’m really sorry, Kaiba-kun, but this is the first time my father’s made it home before Christmas in years. And He’s never met Yami before so everyone kinda wants it to just be a quiet Christmas. So-“
“Yugi, it doesn’t matter,” Seto interrupted. “As far as I’m concerned the fewer people in my house the better.”
“Still-“
“Good-bye, Yugi.”
“Merry-“ Click! “-Christmas,” he finished somewhat lamely.
Yami chuckled, “I take it Kaiba won’t miss us?”
Yugi didn’t answer.
“Aibou?”
Yugi jumped slightly, “Sorry, Yami. I was just thinking.”
“About?” Yami prompted.
“Well, I feel kind of guilty, I mean, every year we’ve had this party no one has ever canceled. Suddenly, Kaiba’s name gets drawn to have it and we’re bailing? What if he thinks we just don’t want to be there?”
“Aibou, even Kaiba knows you can’t lie to save your life. I’m sure he understands and besides,” Yami winked, “If it weren’t for Jou, Mokuba, and Noa he wouldn’t even be hosting. He only attends under protest any other time.”
Yugi grinned, “Yeah, you’re right. Besides, everyone else is still going to be there.”
A/N As far as I know Double Helix doesn't exist. Don't go looking for it.
