Chapter Nineteen: Yugi_s Day

After getting ready for the day Yugi went right to the room Seto and Jou shared. He was just about to knock on the door when it opened and Yugi came face to face with the person that he had come to talk to.

“Hello there Jou”, Yugi greeted his friend. He scratched his cheek a bit in an embarrassed gesture as he continued: “Um, I wanted to talk to you about something, if that is okay. If this is a bad time I could come back later.”

Jou looked Yugi up and down for a moment before answering: “Hi to you too.” The blond grinned then. “It’s nice to see you out and about again and no worries, I have all the time in the world to talk right now. Seto will be out until noon so I have some free time on my hands. Come on in and take a seat.”

Stepping back into the room some Jou gave Yugi enough room to slip inside the room. Yugi immediately headed to one of the many seats placed in the room. The small human sat down and waited as Jou followed him further into the room and seated himself in a chair opposite to Yugi’s own. It took Yugi a moment to start speaking and when he did, he spoke the one thing that he wanted to say, for once being blunt about something: “I have made up my mind. I have decided to become Yami’s mate.”

Staring at Yugi for a while in silence the blond finally smiled widely and spoke out in an amused tone of voice: “Well it’s about time. I know Yami is going to be one happy demon when he hears about this.” The taller teen tilted his head to the side slightly. “Or have you told him this yet?”

“Not yet”, Yugi replied with a slight shake of his head. “I wanted to ask you about how you think I should go about it and I would also like to know about anything I might need to do before the mating show.” That last part had Yugi blushing as he directed his gaze to the floor between him and Jou.

Jou nodded his head in understanding before starting to speak: “Well, putting on that outfit he gave you would be a good start. But I would like to know if you have thought of when and where you were planning to tell him, if you have planned this at all.”

“I wanted to tell him tonight in his room”, Yugi answered simply before frowning in puzzlement when he thought about the blond’s first statement. “But why do I need to put on the outfit he gave me? I mean, I know it will tell him that I want to be his mate but why is it so important? Why can’t I just say the words to him?” Yugi looked back up at Jou and waited to hear what the other had to say.

There was a thoughtful look on Jou’s face as the blond regarded the shorter human silently before speaking out: “If that is how you want to go about then I think that I will be enough if you just wait for him in his room with the clothes on. And as to why you need to wear them in the first place, that’s another demon custom. You see, some demons come from families that pass down mating clothes that are to be given to the demon’s mate as a sign of welcoming his mate into his family. Mostly the custom is only part of the high-ranking demon families. The gifting of the clothes is a way of showing the power of the family that the demon had behind him. At least that’s what Seto told me about it when I asked him.”

Yugi paused for a few moments and thought to himself: ‘So Yami is part of a high-ranking family. I know I love him, so if the custom is that important to him, I will wear the clothes for him.’ Out loud the short boy said: “Okay, I understand. I still need your help, however. I don’t want Yami to know what is going on before it’s the time for my confession. There is still something I would like to know: if we are both guys how is his family going to grow?”

“I know something about that. Even if not all the details”, Jou replied. “You see, after you become mates you will be able to have his kids. I don’t know the exact way it’s going to come possible for us to carry children but Seto did not seem worried when we talked about it a few days before the mating show.” The blond paused and grinned at Yugi. “Would you like to hear what he said?” The blond’s expression turned expectant then and Yugi nodded. Jou thought for a moment, recalling the memory, before speaking: “The topic came up when me and Seto were getting ready for bed one night…”

Flashback

Jou allowed his head to roll to the side as he rested it against Seto’s shoulder. He was sitting in the demon’s lap as Seto traced slow circles on his stomach with his fingertips. A slow smile spread on the blond’s lips before he spoke to Seto: “I can see that you can hardly wait to be mated.”

“Oh?” Seto questioned with a lifted eyebrow as he spread his palm against Jou’s shirt, keeping it in place on the human’s stomach. “What makes you think that?”

“You’re constantly touching or staring at my stomach”, Jou replied and placed a hand on top of Seto’s. “Even now you’re doing it.”

“I’m just thinking about things”, Seto snapped defensively, a faint blush staining his cheeks. Jou smiled fondly at the brunet and spoke with a bright laugh: “Yea, you’re thinking about our future.” The blond felt his own cheeks heat up. “I’d like it if we had a girl.”

“Then we will keep trying until we get one, no matter how many boys we have before her”, Seto said in his typical no-nonsense manner. Jou only giggled uncharacteristically in response as he wrapped his arms around the man he loved before speaking: “I would love any child we had together Seto, regardless the gender.”

“I understand that”, Seto answered while hugging Jou back. “I simply want as many children as possible.”

“Two, Seto”, Jou insisted in a suddenly serious tone of voice. “Three tops.” There was no way he was going through any more pregnancies than that. Nope, no way.

“Alright then”, Seto agreed, much to Jou’s relief.

End of Flashback

“That’s such a sweet story”, Yugi confessed with a smile that showed the blond just how happy he was for his friend. Jou smiled back at him before speaking: “Isn’t it?” The blond laughed some and then continued: “I’ll do anything I can to help you out. Just tell me what you need me to do.” With that said Yugi and Jou started planning for later that night. Later on Seto came back and the two humans spent a while talking with the brunet, after which they started working on getting Yugi into the clothing Yami had given the shorter human.

“I can see why you would need a little help with this”, Jou spoke in a playful tone of voice. “It has even more ties in the back than that one you helped me put on for my mating show.” The blond snickered then. “You would never be able to tie or untie this thing by yourself Yugi. At least, you can’t do it with those short arms of yours.”

“I’m not the one who picked it”, Yugi pointed out with a pout. “The only reason I’m putting it on in the first place is because Yami wants me to. They might look sexy but if Yami wants to untie them only to get sex then he is in for a rude awakening. I will be more than happy to show him where I stand in this. Just because I have agreed to be his mate does not meant that I want to go all the way so soon.” When Yugi said that Jou was just done with the last tie on the outfit and Yugi turned to face his friend with a giggle.

“You say that now but you just wait, Yug”, Jou warned in a low tone. “Yami and you will be going at it before you know what hit ya. After all, you love him and for demons like Yami it’s important to mate as soon as they can. After all, his mating season is going to be soon and then what are you going to do?” Jou checked Yugi over with a critical eye before nodding his head at a job well done.

“I know his season is coming up”, Yugi muttered. “You told me that some time ago. But do all demons mate before the mating show takes place?” Yugi questioned in a wondering tone. “I mean, isn’t the mating show like a marriage ceremony? It would make more sense if the actual mating happened afterwards.”

“It is best to do so. If you don’t make love before the day of the show then it is more likely that something bad will happen”, Jou spoke in a sad tone when the blond thought about all the things he had been told about and everything he had read concerning the matter.

“Bad things?” Yugi questioned, wanting to hear some elaboration when he saw how upset his friend seemed to be be.

“Yea, for example it will hurt a lot if your body is inexperienced when you consummate your bond. Demon mating always includes a lot of sex, Yugi. You’re going to need the experience”, Jou explained in a stern tone of voice. “Not only that, but other things can happen too. Many demons that didn’t make love before the mating show have ended up losing the feelings they had felt towards their mate earlier. Then there is the fact that you run the risk of not being able to ever have kids and giving birth will become more difficult as well. It might become so bad that you won’t survive the childbirth. This has happened many times and only a few have ever been able to get away with not making love before the night of the mating show.

“Yugi, this is something you really need to think about before making a too hasty decision. I’m not saying that you have to do it right away, just do it before the mating show is all.” Jou looked very serious as he said this but then the gloomy atmosphere was broken by a noise echoing from somewhere inside the house.

Quickly grapping a robe and putting it on Yugi ran out of the room. Running down the many hallways and staircases the human arrived at the front hall, his eyes first falling on the large from doors. Then the boy lowered his gaze to the floor and saw two people rolling on the floor in a manner that looked just like fighting. One of the participants Yugi recognized right away as Marik. The other fighter looked a lot like Marik, even though he was easily recognized as a different person from his slimmer body.

At first Yugi was completely convinced that the two were fighting but the thought went flying out the window when Yugi saw the unknown person get up off the floor for a moment. Marik’s voice sounded disappointed as he shouted: “You’re not going anywhere!” The stranger actually came down again but again Marik complained: “No, don’t do that!” It took a moment for Yugi to realize that the smaller blond had slipped his hand inside Marik’s pants.

As soon as the other did this Marik grabbed his hand and started taking it out as he spoke sternly: “Would you just wait for a moment. I told you to stop!” The other had tried to get his other hand down Marik’s pants as well, only to have it grabbed as well. After that Marik rolled them over so that he was pinning the smaller male to the floor.

Not able to watch the play going on any longer Yugi went back up the stair just as Yami was coming down them. The two passed each other without a word and Yugi guessed that Yami was too much in a hurry to find out what the ruckus in the front hall was about.

‘I’m glad that I had the robe on’ Yugi thought when he entered his room. ‘If I had been parading around without it, all my plans would have gotten blown away. I have to be more careful if I want Yami to stay in the dark until tonight.’

The rest of the day Yugi avoided running into Yami the best he could and by the time the demons were having dinner down stairs Yugi sneaked into Yami’s room to wait until the crimson-eyed demon was done. Once there, however, he found he needed to use the rest room and decided to use Yami’s. He decided that it would be okay, considering their future together. Soon enough the small boy would be sharing Yami’s bathroom all the time.

Once Yugi was done he came out to the supposedly empty room, only to feel like someone was watching him. The human’s gaze went over to the doorway of the room and Yugi found himself staring at no other than Yami. In shock the boy could only think: ‘Oh no, what am I going to do now?’ Suddenly, the human did not have any idea about what to do. All of his carefully laid out plans were forgotten.
