Genie Yami in a Bottle

Yugi could hardly pay attention in his afternoon classes as he knew both he and Yami wanted school to be over quickly. He made sure not to wish for it to end sooner than it was supposed to, knowing the dangers of making selfish wishes. He was just glad his unintentional wish that morning had had no dire consequences. As the last bell rang, several students gave whoops of joy. Taht day was Friday, meaning there was a long weekend up ahead, Monday being a national holiday that closed the schools for the day. Yugi sighed happily as he gathered his things, meeting up with Yami at the classroom door. Jou and Honda ran up to the couple, Jou grinning widely.
“Yo, Yug, Yami! Wanna go to the arcade?” Jou asked, smirking widely. Yami looked puzzled.
“What is this arcade you speak of, Jounouchi-kun?” he asked politely. Jou’s grin widened.
“A place with all kinds of games!” he said happily. “Yugs can teach you how to play ‘em, he’s a master of games. They call him Japan’s King of Games for a reason, ya know!”
Yami looked at his little angel. This young teen was a game master? This news intrigued Yami, and he nodded, saying, “I would be pleased to join you if Yugi would like to come.”
Yugi nodded. “Yeah, it’s been awhile since I’ve been to the arcade. I’m usually running from Ushio and his thugs. Speaking of which, I didn’t see them today.”
Yami smirked. “I turned them into mice for the night to teach them a lesson. Their probably cowering in their beds right now, fearful of leaving the house.”
Jou slapped Yami on the back, surprising the genie until he saw a evilly wide grin plastered on the blond’s face. “Good job, bro! ‘Bout time someone put an end to their reign of terror!”
Yami laughed, and the four of them walked to the arcade, Yami feeling more and more like he belonged with his love and this modern world.

After spending hours in the arcade, Yami and Yugi said their goodbyes to Honda and Jou, promising to hang out over the weekend. The two made their way to the Kame Game Shop where Yugi lived. “Jii-san, I’m home!” Yugi called as they walked in the door. Yugi’s grandpa came out from the back of the store.
“Hohoho, who’s this fine young man?” Jii-san asked, looking at Yami. Yugi gulped; he had forgotten Jii-san knew nothing about Yami. Yami stepped forward.
“I am a genie bound to Yugi,” he said simply, realization dawning on the old man.
“Hoho, I thought that bottle in Yugi’s room looked like a genie bottle!” Jii-san exclaimed, surprising both teens. Jii-san smiled. “Yugi, you know I go on many expeditions. You don’t think I’ve found genies before, have you? I usually just set them free and sell the bottles that they give me as thanks.”
“Wait, you can set a genie free?” Yugi asked, Yami looking down as his hikari in surprise. Yugi had said he didn’t want to be Yami’s master. Instead they had become lovers. Was Yugi going to free him and let him do as he pleased?
“Yes, Yugi,” Jii-san replied. “All you have to do is wish for their freedom.”
Yugi’s eyes shone brightly. He could free Yami and never have to worry about Yami gaining a new “master”! Yugi turned to Yami. “Yami, I wish for your freedom. Do what pleases you. This is my gift to you for your love.”
Yami smiled at his little angel, feeling the bonds that shackled him to the bottle upstairs falling away. Yami leaned down and kissed Yugi. “I know what will please me greatly right now,” he whispered in a sultry voice. He picked up Yugi in a bridal fashion and carried him upstairs as the little hikari giggled in delight.
