Something New

Short little....well...technically too long for a drabble....double-drabble?  (It's only 207 words)  Anyway...wrote this while driving to Nevada City today. =3  Wanted to share. =3  This AU is pulled from a RP that's been in play for about 4 years now. =3;;  Feel free to ask if you are curious about Yami's place in this verse, otherwise...just enjoy the fluff. =3

Something New

Carefully he worked, up and down and with a gentle touch. Yami never crossed the lines. It was in his nature to do his best at everything he tried. Slowly, methodically, he filled in every last space.
Yami had never done anything like this before. It was...different, and, despite the intense concentration he gave his work, quite enjoyable too. It was not something he would have done on his own, but when given the "Puppy-Dog Eyes of Doom" that is trademarked to children and a select few adults, he could not bring himself to refuse.

The beaming grin he received along with the enthusiastic hug made this childish endeavor something to look forward to. So here he was, sprawled on his stomach on the floor, doing something he had never done before.

"Daddy? Are you done with the blue yet?"

Yami smiled. "Yes, Jendayi. Here  you go." He passed the paper-wrapped stick of blue wax to his adopted daughter. Searching through the myriad of colors strewn around him, he found a nice green to use. Turning his attention back to the coloring-book page he began to carefully and methodically fill in the tree leaves.

It was different, but Yami had decided that he liked coloring.
