A/N - Wow we're at chapter 20 already! Damn, time has just flown by. I'm glad you all liked the vampire chapter, I'll probably do another one of those soon.


"You're fired!"

"No! You're fired!"

Yugi pretended to look offended as he placed a bag of bread in the shopping cart. His amethyst eyes stared down into the red-violet ones below him. "Hikaru, you would fire your own daddy?" He pouted, making his eyes look bigger.

The little toddler was not fooled by the look. "You fired me first, it's only fair!"

"I did, didn't I?" Yugi grinned while looking at all the items in the shopping cart. Deciding that he had everything he needed he began to head to the check out line. "What did you do before I fired you?"

"What?" The toddler asked distractedly.

"What kind of job did you have before? Were you a business guy like your dad?"

Hikaru shook his head. "No, I have to wear shoes when doing dat! I was a gamer like papa!"

"Oh, really? What kind of games did you make?"

Yugi continued to chat with his son all through checking out and on the way back to the car. The kid had a huge imagination just like any other three year old and was always making up the funniest stories.

"Okay buddy, go get in your car seat. Show me how you buckle yourself in." Yugi picked him up out of the seat in the cart and put him in the trunk of the car. Hikaru easily wiggled his way over the backseat and climbed into his spot which was on the back right. He then grabbed the seatbelt on the side and pulled it out farther then necessary before he clicked it into the lock.

"I done it daddy, I done it!"

"I did it," Yugi corrected. "But that's great buddy, I'm proud of you!"

Hikaru beamed happily and watched as his daddy put all of the groceries in the back. "Where are we going now?"

"We have to go home so I can get dinner started. Do you want anything in particular to eat?"

Hikaru picked his action figure and his car up and started playing with them, too into his game to answer the question. Yugi rolled his eyes in good humor and quickly left to return the cart. Luckily, the cart holder was only one car space over. With that done he went back to his car and closed the trunk door before getting inside.

He looked at Hikaru one more time to make sure the car seat was doing it's job and then pulled out of the parking lot.

10 minutes later…

Yugi was starting to get really nervous. A few minutes after he left the store he noticed that a black Mazda had drifted behind him. At first, he didn't take notice of it because it was completely natural to have someone drive behind you for a little while. But after a while of turning and stopping with the same car still following him, Yugi was beginning to question what was going on.

His concerns were only confirmed when he decided to just start detouring into random places to see if the car would still follow him, and it had. Hell, he had even stopped at a gas station to just sit in a parking spot for a few minutes, and the same car pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant that was beside the gas station. Yugi had tried to lose him from there, but the car pulled out right after him again and followed him.

Now feeling anxious and pissed off by the person, Yugi decided it would be best to call Atem. After all, his work was around this part of town and it would be safer to go there then it would be to go back home. Firm with his decision, Yugi took out his phone and dialed the familiar number. He didn't have to wait long for it to ring.

"Hey Yugi, what's up?" Atem's cheery voice asked over the line.

Yugi wanted to yell that some creep was following him in his car, but knew that he couldn't freak out because Hikaru would freak out as well. It was better to keep him oblivious about the situation, although, since he was a three year old, he may find the situation to be exciting for whatever reason.

"Atem," Yugi made sure that his tone was serious, yet not hard enough for the toddler in the back to notice. "I've got Hikaru in the car with me and we got out of the supermarket about ten minutes ago."

"Okay, so what's wrong?"

Yugi lowered his voice so that he was practically whispering. "Some guy in a black Mazda has been following us for a really long time, and I don't know what to do."

"What?! You aren't just paranoid or anything, are you?"

"No Atem, I'm dead positive about this!" He hissed a little too loudly.

"Daddy?" Hikaru asked from the back. "Why are you mad?"

Yugi sent his son a reassuring smile through the rearview mirror. "I'm not mad buddy, I'm just talking to your dad on the phone."

The toddler nodded in understanding. "Ohh, that makes sense then…"

Yugi waited until he heard the sound of the car and the action figure crashing together before he started talking again. "You're still at work, right?"

"Yeah, why? Where are you?"

"I'm about to turn down the street that your building is on."

"Alright, park in the front and I'll meet you out there. Don't worry, I'll see what this bastard wants."

Yugi smiled in relief. "Thanks Atem, I'll see you in two, kay?"

"Right, oh, and don't get out of the car."

"Yeah, no shit," Yugi whispered before closing the phone. His eyes drifted back to the car behind him once more before he focused on getting to Atem's work.

Sure enough, just as he had said, Atem was already walking towards the car by the time Yugi showed up. Yugi, despite the serious situation, couldn't help but notice how sexy Atem looked at the moment. His grey suit and the white shirt he wore under it were slightly ruffled, the shirt being untucked from his pants. Not to mention that the top buttons on his shirt were undone, revealing his tan collarbone. Then there was the fact that his gold wedding ring and the ruby gemmed ring he also wore were shining in the setting sun. And as an added bonus he looked royally pissed off.

There was just something highly attractive about seeing Atem angry.

Yugi watched as Atem bypassed his car completely and walked straight towards the black car that had parked a little behind him on the other side of the road. He twisted in his chair and watched, while hoping that Hikaru was too distracted to notice that he had stopped the car and that his dad was here.

What Yugi didn't expect was for Atem to knock on the persons window and for the person to roll down their window. The two of them talked for a few minutes before Yugi saw Atem laughing. What the hell?

"Is that dad?" Hikaru yelled from the back, the sound of the seatbelt rolling making it obvious that he was trying to twist his body in his seat.

Yugi sighed. "Yeah, I decided to stop at his work for a few minutes."

The toddler wrinkled his nose in confusion. "Who's he talking to?"

Yugi stiffened when he saw the door of the black car opening and watched as a young looking man with a camera around his neck stepped out. Atem had a hand on his shoulder and was leading him towards Yugi's car.

"Daddy, who is that guy?" Hikaru squirmed.

"I don't know buddy, I guess we're about to find out."

By this time Atem and the stranger had reached his car. Atem motioned for him to open the door. Yugi gave him a look and trusted that his husband knew what he was doing. He unlocked the lock on his side of the car and opened his door.

"Dad!" Hikaru immediately began shouting, hoping that his dad would see him.

Atem smiled and stuck his head in the car. "Hey son, how are you?"

"Good! Daddy and I bought food! He got cookies!"

"That's awesome buddy, you'll have to ask daddy to see if you can have some after dinner, okay?"

The toddler laughed. "I already asked!"

"Oh, okay then. Hey Hikaru, can you play with your toys for a few minutes? I need to talk with daddy."

"Okay dad!"

Atem nodded and pulled his head out. Once sure that Hikaru was distracted, he began to explain.

"Yugi," He clapped the strange man on the shoulder. "This is Shin Tatuya."

Yugi looked at the guy warily. "Okay… and why was he following me…?"

Shin bowed his head. "I'm terribly sorry Mr. Mutou, I didn't mean to cause alarm!" He laughed nervously. "You see, I'm a news reporter and I happened to spot you leaving the grocery store. Of course, I didn't see your face, just your hair, and I mistook you for your husband, Yami."

Well that made sense. Yami tended to get followed by photographers and news reporters every now and then due to the fact that he was the King of Games. It was a normal occurrence for him, but Yugi and Atem had never been mistaken for their husband by reporters before. Most of them were aware of how much they looked like and knew to look for the differences between them before following one of them. This guy must be new to the job or something.

"Ah, I'm glad," Yugi smiled at him. "I thought you were some creep stalking me…"

The man blushed and shook his head. "I'm terribly sorry Mr. Mutou! I didn't mean to scare you."

Yugi sighed shakily while running his hand through his hair. "That's okay, I guess it was bound to happen to one of us."

Atem hummed. "Yeah, I guess we'll have to anticipate this happening again." He held his hand out to Mr. Tatuya and they shook hands. "Well, thank you for not being difficult about this."

Shin nodded. "It was nice meeting you both." He said goodbye to each of them before he went back to his car and drove off.

Yugi rubbed his eye. "Thank Ra he was just some reporter."

Atem braced himself against the frame of the car and leaned down to kiss him on the forehead. "I know, I was actually surprised when he explained the situation to me. He looked like he was going to shit his pants or something when he rolled down the window."

Yugi laughed and smoothed his hands over the steering wheel. "I'll bet." He grinned. "I guess to other people you look pretty scary when you're mad."

Atem quirked an eyebrow. "Other people?"

"Well, yeah," Yugi said. "To me and Yami you just look hot."

"Good to know…" Atem smirked before kissing him again, this time on the lips.

"Hey!" Hikaru whined from the back. "Why does daddy get all the attention?"


Yugi pulled into the driveway with Atem's car pulling up right behind him. They both got out of their cars and Atem grabbed all of the groceries while Yugi picked up Hikaru. They quickly made their way inside, noticing that Yami was home because most of the lights were on.

"Papa!" the toddler squealed as Yugi set him down.

Yami poked his out from the kitchen. "Hey family, what up?"

Atem rolled his eyes and pushed past him to set the groceries down on the counter. Yugi followed after him and immediately went to the stove to set it on high.

"Buddy!" Yami smiled and squatted down so that Hikaru could sit on his leg. "What have you been up to today? Driving your daddy crazy?"

"No! I'm a good boy!" the toddler proclaimed loudly.

"You are, aren't you?" Yami hummed in thought. "Well, do you know what happens to boys who are good?" Hikaru cocked his head to the side in confusion. "They… get… tickled!"

He leaned down and blew into the toddlers stomach, making him squeal in delight. He then skimmed his fingers up his side and under his arm pits, ignoring the cheerful pleads for him to stop.

"You get thirty seconds and then I'm coming after you!" Yami said as he set the disoriented toddler down. Hikaru quickly recovered and laughed as he ran from the room, probably looking for somewhere to hide.

Meanwhile, Yami counted all the way up to thirty loudly, so that he would know when he was coming for him. "Ready or not, here I come!"

Papa and son didn't return to the kitchen until it was time for dinner.


"Dad, where's daddy?" Little Hikaru asked as he tugged on Atem's sleep pants. "He said he would watch Tarzan with me!"

Atem took off his glasses and set them and the book he had been reading down. He reached over and scooped his son up in his arms. "Hm, I don't know, let's look for him." He leaned down and sniffed the small black spikes of hair. "Did Papa give you a bath tonight?"

Hikaru shook his head. "Nope, not me."

Atem shrugged. "Oh well, I don't think you're all that dirty anyways."

"Do I gotta take one in the morning?"

"Yeah, you don't want to start smelling like a monkey, do you?"

The toddlers scarlet eyes brightened. "I wanna be a monkey! There's big monkeys in Tarzan!"

Atem smiled. "No, that's a GOR-IL-LA!"

The toddler burst out laughing and clapped his hands together. "Again, again! Do it again dad!"

Atem cleared his throat and spoke with a posh accent. "Where are the gorillas? GOR-IL-LA!"

Hikaru laughed again and imitated his dad all the way downstairs. On the way there they passed Yami who was giving them a weird look.

"Watch me! I'm a monkey papa!" Hikaru said as he took advantage of Atem's loose hold on him and sprung out of his arms towards Yami.

Atem grunted and fell to the floor while Yami dived to save Hikaru from splitting his head open. He managed to catch him just in time and swung him around so that he was safely tucked in his arms.

Unaware of the danger he had been in, Hikaru laughed and chanted to do it again.

Yami shook his head. "No buddy, we can't be doing that, that's dangerous, okay?"

The toddler looked at him in confusion. "Why is it bad?"

"Because I didn't know you were going to do that, and I may not have been able to catch you. Then you would fall and hurt yourself, so you need to be careful when you do stuff like that, okay?"

"Okay papa…"

"Can you tell dad that you're sorry for knocking him over?"

Hikaru turned and noticed that Atem was rubbing his back. He grinned sheepishly. "Eh heh… sorry dad!"

Atem took him back in his arms. "Don't sweat it." He turned to Yami. "Hey, where's Yugi?"

Yami snorted and smacked a hand to his face. "He fell asleep in the bath! I was just about to get the camera when you two stopped me!"

"Daddy's sleeping in the bath?" Hikaru asked excitedly. "I wanna see! Can I sleep in my bath too?"

"That would be a negative," Atem laughed before he walked to the playroom, leaving Yami to his own devices. He deposited the toddler onto the couch and went over to the movie rack to look for Tarzan.

"I'll put the movie in and then I'll go see if daddy is awake to come watch it with you, okay?"

"Okay!" Hikaru grabbed the blanket wrapped around the back of the couch and tugged it over himself. "Hey dad, can you watch it with us? And say the gorilla thing?"

Atem smiled to himself just as he put the DVD in the player. "Sure buddy. How about we make it a family movie night and see if papa wants to watch it too."

Hikaru jumped in excitement. "Can I go ask him?"

"Nah, you just sit tight and I'll go get them, okay? I'll bring up some popcorn for us to munch on as well."

"Popcorn! Can I hold the bowl?"

"Sure, if you want to." He watched for a few seconds as the previews began to play. "I'll be right back, okay?"

"Okay dad!"


"Son of man look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of man, a man in time you'll be."

Yugi looked up at the couch and couldn't help but smile a little at what he saw. Atem was laying out on the couch with Hikaru laying on his stomach. One of his arms was wrapped loosely around their son while the other was thrown behind his head.

Yugi was currently on the floor laying next to Yami who he had had to coax to come lay with him. They ended up with having the blanket and were wrapped tightly in it, cuddled up to each other.

Happy with knowing his family was together, Yugi had no trouble falling back asleep.


A/N - Ha, okay, so I think Son of Man actually plays really early into the movie, but whatever, it's the only one I can remember at the moment!

Anyhow, so the situation that happened with Yugi with the guy following him, that actually happened to my cousin. Some dude was following her car, so she called her dad and went to his work, and he came out and told the dude to stay away from her and what not.

I've been wanting to write a chapter where Yugi, Yami, and Atem had a son for a while now. And I finally got motivated enough to write it. I'm not too sure how well a three year old is able to speak, so sorry if he speaks a little advanced or something
