[fic] Theme 025 "Pencil", for 100_wangsts {遊☆戯☆王: light&implied Yami/Yuugi; G}
Okay, so it’s really too soon since the last update to be posting this one up, but I’ve got my reasons.
...really. I was going to post it tomorrow [the 8th], since it’s the Duanwu Festival and that’s a pretty interesting ‘holiday’ (in quotations because it’s a statutory holiday only in China, HK, Taiwan, and Macau). But as I’ll be busy for this week, I’m going to post it before any other mess comes in.
See you next Sunday!
Written for 100_wangsts. This is theme 025.
Genre: General/Humour
Rating: G
Pairings: really light and implied Yami/Yuugi
Story Type: Drabble/one-shot
Summary: At some point in your life, you’ll wake up one morning to find something’s amiss. Yuugi’s of no exception.
Disclaimer: I own the entire Chinese manga set and a few other merchandises, but that’s about all.
Spoilers: Post series with a solid Yami.
Warnings: Silliness? (shrugs)

“Mou hitori no boku, have you seen it around anywhere?”
The addressed looked up from the book he was engrossed in reading. “Hmm, aibou?”
Yuugi continued shuffling papers and textbooks on his desk. “I was so sure I put it here! It couldn’t be anywhere else, unless someone took it... Are you sure you haven’t seen it, mou hitori no boku?” His tone adopted suspicion.
He shook his head. It would help if the other told him what was missing though. “Is it very important, aibou?”
“Of course it is!” Yuugi wheeled around and nodded fervently, eyes wide. “I have a big test today and I’m going to need it.”
Yami furrowed his brow and placed his book aside. “It is not where you have left it?”
“No, but I was so sure...” Yuugi tugged at his hair. “This is terrible!”
“Why don’t you ask Jii-san if he has seen it?”
“...good idea. Can you keep looking in here, just in case I missed it? Please?” Yuugi’s eyes became wider.
How could Yami possibly refuse?
“Thank you!” He ran down the stairs.
Yami shook his head, smiling. He could never refuse the other anything, especially when he pulled his ultimate weapon. He picked up the younger one’s schoolbag and rummaged through the articles inside. Well, his pencil case seems intact...what is he missing? Ruler, protractor, calculator, pencils, pens, white-out, eraser, extra lead...
From downstairs, Yuugi’s horrified shout echoed. “Jii-chan! How could you? That was my lucky pencil! I thought you have your own to do the daily sudoku puzzles in the newspaper - you don’t just take mine! And on a day when I have a test too...!”
Sugoroku’s feeble attempt to defend himself went unheard. Really, it wasn’t his fault that mechanical pencils these days were so fragile!

Authoress Notes: Yami is an early bird...waking up before Yuugi to read. Yeah, I can’t believe it either. xD
In other words, I’m a quarter to the finish! XD
