scrawlers:actuallyredeyes:yaminalapis:dragontamer05:Well thenThe only question is: what game did he lose?BEDTIME STORIES WITH GRANDPA AU WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVERsometimes i like to pretend it was a game against child YugiIt was a game of Kings in the Corner. Yuugi was seven.Sugoroku was babysitting; Yuugi’s father was on another one of his extended business trips, and Yuugi’s mother had gone out to run errands. She could have taken Yuugi along, and ordinarily she might have, but she had multiple places to go that day and didn’t want to drag him all over the city with her, feeling that it wasn’t very fair to him. (Plus, seven-year-olds can get antsy and anxious when you have drag them from place to place, only to make them wait at each one while you finish what you have to do.) So Yuugi stayed with Sugoroku for the day, and to pass the time, Sugoroku decided to teach his grandson a card game.That game was Kings in the Corner. It was Yuugi’s first time playing, and to Sugoroku’s astonishment, Yuugi actually beat him.He lost.Yuugi was delighted; he cheered and celebrated over the fact that he’d won, completely oblivious to the fact that his grandfather sat in shock. But as the shock wore off, and Sugoroku realized and accepted what had happened, he smiled a little to himself and decided that, yes … perhaps it was time. Perhaps it was time to pass on the legacy to someone new.“Yuugi,” he said, and when Yuugi looked over at him, probably wondering if they were going to play again, he said, “When adults play card games and win, they get prizes. Did you know that?”“Like what?” Yuugi asked. “Candy?” Candy as a novelty for Yuugi, as his mother didn’t like him to have too much sugar, and Sugoroku laughed at his grandson’s innocence.“No, not candy. Money, usually. Gold, riches … that sort of thing.” Yuugi looked a bit disappointed–money wasn’t very high on a child’s priority list–but Sugoroku had already reached into the bag he always kept with him, his fingers wrapping around the corners of a box that was always a little strangely warm. “Since you’ve won, I think you’ve earned yourself a prize, too.”“Thanks, Grandpa, but I don’t really need …” Yuugi’s eyes widened as Sugoroku pulled a gold box engraved with intricate symbols out of his bag and placed it in front of him.“This is your prize,” Sugoroku said, and he grinned as Yuugi marveled at it. With gentle fingers, he pulled the lid from the box and set it aside, revealing the thick golden pieces contained within. “It’s a puzzle, Yuugi. A magical puzzle. They say that whoever completes it and makes a wish will have that wish granted.”“A wish?” Yuugi whispered, and he tore his eyes away from the puzzle to stare up at Sugoroku. “Any wish? I could wish for anything?”“So long as you complete the puzzle,” Sugoroku said, and he replaced the lid on the box before he handed it to Yuugi. “Here. It’s yours now.”Yuugi took the box and pulled it onto his lap, and he marveled at it for only a second more before he looked back at Sugoroku, beaming. “Thanks, Grandpa! I’ll put it together right away! This is the best prize ever!” Before Sugoroku could say another word, Yuugi scrambled up and took off toward his room, the Millennium Puzzle box in hand.Sugoroku doubted Yuugi would be able to complete the puzzle right away, but then, he’d doubted that Yuugi would be the one to beat him at a game, too. With a small smile, he gathered up the cards they’d used to play, and put them back in their deck holder.Maybe Yuugi would surprise him further yet.OMG Cuuuute -- source link
