Ooooooh boy!

So, if anyone knows me and/or follows me, then you know that I've talked about an AU where Atemu is stuck spending his summer on a ranch in Montana with his uncle and his uncle's friends, who includes the grandson of one of them, Yugi. And Yugi is hot as all get out.

Well, here is the fanfic for it.

I blame all of you who supported me on tumblr. Also, I blame you, Colonel, because you are a terrible influence on me (jk, you know you're a great influence)

Summery: Atemu's summer plans are ruined when his father decides he should spend his last summer vacation before college on some ranch out in the middle of nowhere. However, luckily, or unluckily, there's a cute rancher named Yugi who is going to make this boring summer very interesting...

Warning: Atemu is trans male in this, (He also looks different from Yugi in this, and wears glasses), Puzzleshipping, slow burn (?), probably some second hand embarrassment, the author not taking himself or his story seriously... ect.

And thank you to @atemina-rubygibb for the title suggestions!

On with the fic!

Sweet Home Domino

Chapter One

–

Atemu opened the front doors of his home, about to announce that he was home, but he noticed his father already there, waiting for him. “Oh, hey Dad.” He grinned, kicking off his shoes. “Well, today was the last official day of classes, and this weekend...” He pretended to do a drum roll with his fingers before smirking, “I graduate high school!”

“Yes, I know.” His father nodded, smiling a bit, before looking rather serious. “Well, son, I would like to discuss with you what you plan on doing with your summer before college.”

“Hmm...” Atemu gave this thought, before shrugging. “Eh... I dunno, I mean, I was thinking of hanging out with my friends and stuff, maybe goof off? I dunno, I just want to relax this summer!”

The look on the older man's face made Atemu frown, oh shit, that's never a good sign. “Atemu...” Akhenamkhanen sighed. “I was hoping you'd be a bit productive this summer vacation, especially since you will be moving out in a few months for college. So I spoke with your uncle Siamun...”

“What?!” Atemu gasped. “No, nonononono... no! What did you say to him?!”

“I spoke with your uncle about letting you stay at his ranch and research center for the summer, to help him out. He and his associates are getting on in years, and they could use the help.”

Atemu groaned, pouting. “But I don't want to go out to some old ranch in... wherever in Montana it is that he lives in. Come on, let me, I dunno, work here or something? I'm sure Duke will let me work at his shop or something!”

Akhenamkhanen shook his head, crossing his arms. “You need to get out of town, weren't you just complaining last week about never going anywhere outside of Seattle? I did this because you asked to see somewhere new, and because you need to have some training in skills such as hard work and such.”

The boy rolled his eyes, mumbling that he could just do that here. But he knew that his father was not going to just drop this, it was sort of pointless to argue with the guy. “But does... you know, does anyone there know that I'm not exactly...”

“Siamun has known for years now, since you told us during that big Thanksgiving dinner we had here.”

Oh, right, Atemu had completely forgotten about that embarrassing event, not one of his best moments...

“But what about Uncle's friends?”

“I think they know, you'll have to speak with him when he picks you up. Now, I've already gotten you plane tickets.” Fuck, shit, damnit, fuck, that totally means he was stuck going...! He wasn't gonna make his dad waste his time and money by not going... uhg. “You'll be leaving next Wednesday, that'll give you time to pack and whatnot.”

Atemu groaned and dropped to the floor, moaning loudly in annoyance. “Atemu, get off that floor right now, I'm not dealing with you acting like a five year old. This will do you good, and besides, you may like it there.”

“I doubt it.”

“Don't get sassy.”

The red-eyed teen sighed loudly and rolled onto his back, moving to stand up and drag his feet to the stairs, sighing loudly with each, slow step he took as he rose up the staircase. “Doing that isn't helping you one bit, young man.”

With another roll of his eyes, Atemu made his way to his room and pulled out his phone, deciding to text his best friend for help.

To Magical Hats

Help!!! My dad is sending me to buttfuck,

montana for the summer!

From Magical Hats

And?

To Magical Hats

I don't want to go! Montana is probably

super boring! What's there anyway?

From Magical Hats

Mountains, bears, dinosaurs, I don't

know, Atemu. Go look things up.

To Magical Hats:

No

From Magical Hats

Just put up with it, you'll be fine.

Besides, I can't hang out with

you much this summer anyway.

To Magical Hats

Why?

From Magical Hats

Got that job I applied for. And

Mana is gonna be busy too. She's

doing that girls summer camp

thing.

To Magical Hats

I hate all of you. So even

if I didn't leave, I'd be alone

Fuck you guys.

From Magical Hats

You can always hang out

with your cousin Seto.

To Magical Hats

Fuck him too

Atemu pouted, looking at his phone, before sighing loudly, removing his glasses to rub at his eyes. He didn't mind Uncle Siamun, hell, he thought the guy was awesome! His favorite old man in the world, actually! But he just didn't want to spend his summer with him, especially since he didn't really know much about Siamun's co-workers.

He knew that his uncle lived with two old men that he had been friends with since he was younger, and something about two teenagers living with them, but other than that? Shit, he didn't know who these people were!

And... Atemu was a little weary of new people, especially since most people had no idea that... well... he hadn't always been seen as a boy, at least for the first twelve years of his life. But still, maybe, if he was careful, Atemu could get away with never being found out this summer!

And if he is found out, maybe these other people are cool with him being trans, and hey! Maybe they aren't assholes about it, right? Yeah? He was sure he'd be fine...!

Maybe?

The flight from Seattle to Billings wasn't too bad, Atemu had spent the few hours on the plane playing with his tablet, messaging his friends that they were all dead to him for abandoning him this summer. Of course, he didn't mean it, except to Marik. He could go fuck himself for all the gay cowboy jokes he made, they stopped being funny before the first one.

The only problem was that the flight got in early, and Montana was an hour ahead, so he felt like he was on the plane for longer. It was now nine thirty in the morning and he just wanted to go back to bed and sleep the summer away.

But Atemu just sighed, accepting his fate, as he walked through the gate, making his way to the escalator that would take him down to baggage claim, where Siamun was waiting. He made his way over, looking down at the next floor, seeing his uncle smiling and waving at him. Atemu gave a wave as he went down the escalator. Before he got to the bottom, he saw someone get up from his chair, rushing over to a guy who just got off the escalator before Atemu did.

The one who had been waiting happily jumped at the guy who arrived, hugging on tightly, saying how happy he was to finally see his boyfriend in person. Atemu felt a twinge in his heart, lucky bastards, at least those two were happy and gay, while he was sad and gay.

And lonely.

Uhg, he had about a snowball's chance in Hell of finding a boyfriend this summer, he just knew it...

Well, enough wallowing, he had plenty of time for that later! Getting off the moving staircase, Atemu approaching his short uncle, and hugged onto him. “Hey old man! Miss me?” He grinned, okay, he couldn't stay bummed out forever, especially when his favorite uncle was in the room with him.

“Missed you lots, you spiky haired punk.” Siamun grinned as well, hugging on tightly. “Come on, let's get your bag! It's a two and a half hour drive to Domino, we should get going!”

Atemu nodded, moving to go grab his suitcase from the baggage claim. Once he had it, he followed his uncle outside of the airport and to the parking lot, finding the old man's station wagon. Getting his backpack and suitcase in, he joined Siamun in the front and they headed off.

After getting coffee for the trip to the ranch, they sat in a comfortable quiet as the radio played. “So,” Siamun spoke up, breaking the twenty minutes of silence that had passed since they got their drinks, “how was graduation?”

“It was great. Mom cried, and this one asshat in my class tripped on his way up to get his diploma. It was really funny, Mahado didn't think so, but he's a stick in the mud sometimes.” Atemu replied, sipping his frappe.

“Heh, well, are you happy to be out of school for the summer?”

He shrugged. “Sort of? I mean, I'll be going to college in a few months.”

“You're not really looking forward to spending the summer on the ranch, are you?”

Atemu frowned and sighed. “Nah, not really. I mean, I'll put up with it, but... I'm a city kinda guy, ya know?”

Siamun chuckled softly. “I know, Atemu. But you'll like it there, we have lots to do, and you like doing history stuff, so you won't always be helping with the animals and such. You can help me, Arthur, and Sugoroku in the lab as well! And besides, you'll also have Rebecca and Yugi to help you.”

“Rebecca and Yugi?” “Rebecca is Arthur's granddaughter, she's a fiery little one, that girl. Super smart too, she's already out of college, and she's only eighteen!”

Atemu blinked, holy shit, that's... wow. The only other person he knew like that was his cousin Seto! “And Yugi?”

“Sugoroku's grandson, very sweet kid, loves games. You might get along with him, if you're still interested in games.”

“Uncle, the day I stop loving games will be the day that pigs fly and all Hell freezes over, and the world is consumed by darkness created by a giant god with a dragon for a dick.” Okay, he really needed to stop rpging with Bakura, that stupid Zorc character of his is too ridiculous.

Siamun raised an eyebrow, before shrugging. “If you say so.”

The rest of the ride is spent chit chatting, getting caught up on things. Atemu almost forgit where they were going, until Siamun turned onto a dusty old road, heading towards a large sign that hung over the road by two, thick, wooden poles. The metal sign readed 'KAME RANCH' and Atemu began to feel dread in the pit of his stomach. He’s nervous, very nervous, Atemu don't like meeting new people...

His uncle drove down the road, having not a care in the world, as he came up to a rather large, lovely looking building. It's huge, colorful, and it even has what looks like an observation tower. Right, this was mainly a lab, with a ranch added to it.

Speaking of the ranch, Atemu could see horses wandering around a fenced area, and even a few cows. He stepped out of the car when it parked up by the house, seeing two older men on the front porch. The taller one, he figured, was Arthur Hawkins, while the shorter one (who looked oddly enough like his uncle) had to be Sugoroku Mutou.

With a hard swallow, Atemu stepped forward, watching the happy, old men step off the porch to greet him. “Ah! Hello there, you must be Atemu!” Arthur smiled, his accent rather British sounding, holding out his hand for Atemu to shake.

“Yes, that's me, nice to meet you.” Atemu replied, shaking his hand, before doing the same with Sugoroku after he was properly introduced to them by his uncle.

Siamun chuckled. “Where are the kids?” He asked, glancing about.

“Rebecca is inside, she's busy making lunch for all of us. Though I'm not sure where...” Arthur spoke, looking about, before his shorter companion spoke up.

“Oh! Here comes my grandson!” Sugoroku grinned, pointing off to the side, over to the pasture where the horses were. “Atemu, this is Yugi.”

Atemu turned to see the newcomer, only to feel his heart skip a beat as his eyes widened.

Approaching them was a young man, about Atemu's age. He looked to be just a few inches taller than Atemu's sad 'five foot nothing' height, with soft, thick locks of dark plum and blond that stuck up in the air, yet framed his face as well.

And what a face! He had soft features, with big eyes of orchid, his mouth was very kissable looking, and his cheeks were tinted pink from walking quickly over to them.

From what Atemu could tell, this body looked to be built under the slightly dusty clothing he wore, oh god, was he rugged? Please, gods above, let this boy be rugged like a hot cowboy in the dime store romance novel of Atemu's gayest dreams...!

“Hey there!” The boy, Yugi, greeted. His voice was so nice...! Much nicer that Atemu's own, oddly deep voice...

Atemu froze up, staring at him with wide eyes. Just in those few seconds of watching Yugi approach him, he knew that this boy was... well... everything that Atemu would love to be, but at the same time... he also appeared to be everything that Atemu would love to be dating right now.

“I'm Yugi!” The boy greeted, holding out his hand to Atemu. “Lovely to meet you! We're gonna be roommates!”

R-roommates...? Wait, was Atemu gonna share a room with this perfect human being?

For the whole summer?

Oh. 

Fuck.

Nervously, with a shaky hand, Atemu took Yugi's own, and felt like his brain just shut itself off. “... Touching...” He mumbled, without even thinking, as he looked at their hands, his face burning red.

Sadly, if Atemu had to name his number one weakness, it was his anxiety around people, especially people he really wanted to be on good terms with. And right now, his anxiety was screwing him over, big time.

Yugi blinked, frowning in slight worry. “Mr. Muran, I broke your nephew...”

Siamun blinked, before laughing, patting Atemu on the back. “He's just shy, doesn't get out much to meet people. Don't worry, give him a week and he'll be fine!”

Ooooh, Atemu highly doubted that...

This was going to be a long, long summer...

If you can't tell, I'm not taking this story very seriously, this is mainly for my own joy.

Also, the two boyfriends at the airport is a reference to me meeting my boyfriend for the first time in real life back in March at an airport. He's the one who flew in, since we live in two different states.

Why is this story in Montana? Cause I live there and I dunno what ranches are like in other areas of the states, so it’s one of those ‘go with what you know’ things.

The ranch is based sort of off my memory of what Rebecca's home looked like in season four, before it was blown up.

Next chapter: Atemu's first few days at the ranch are some of the weirdest, most exhausting days of his life, and Yugi isn't helping one bit EDIT: You guys really need to tell me when I accidentally change perspectives, several times I slipped up in this.
