Prompt: Atem making a gigantic sand castle with the gang.
“You want me to do what now?”
“Help us build a sand castle!”
“Build... a sand castle.” Atemu raised an eyebrow, looking over at Yugi and Anzu, from where he sat on his towel.
Yugi happily nodded, holding up a blue, plastic bucket he had taken with them to the beach. “Yeah, we’re gonna build a castle, and you should join in! You haven’t done much except sit and watch everyone since we got here today.”
Atemu sighed, getting up off the towel, walking over to them. “I don’t even know what to do, Aibou.”
“It’s easy.” Anzu smiled. “We get wet and dry sand, and start packing it together, into making walls and towers.”
“Hey! Why not make a sand palace! Like the stuff in ancient Egypt!” Jounouchi spoke up as he approached them, soaking wet. He stopped, and shook himself, earning a squeal from Anzu and a shout of annoyance from the two star heads. “I mean, that’d be more fittin’ for ya, right ‘Tem?”
“I suppose so.” Atemu shrugged, before sitting down. “So, what, we just fill up the bucket and dump it?”
“Sorta.” Yugi replied. “We get the sand wet first, and use it to help pack and get the drier sand into a better shape. It’s not hard. You saw how I used Metamorphfortress in duels before, yeah? It’s kinda like that! Except not alive, and not punching someone out.”
“I guess.”Jounouchi grabbed the other bucket they had, saying he was gonna get water for it and to grab Honda, who was still swimming in the ocean, while the others cleared a space to start building.
Atemu watched as Yugi and Anzu tried to smooth out some of the sand, helping them out, while Jounouchi and Honda returned with the bucket.
The five of them got to work on trying to build a sand palace, but it wasn’t exactly an easy task, considering that they weren’t very good at it. After a good half hour or so of trying, they came out with large, sorta-tower shaped lumps, and attempted walls. “This looks like shit.” Atemu spoke up, earning laughs from the others.
“Yeah, it’s not the best.” Honda chuckled. “But it still looks pretty decent!”
“I think we did a good job, let’s take a picture of it.” Yugi smiled, moving to grab the camera he brought. “It shows we made an attempt! And I know this will be something we can laugh about later.”
“We’re laughin’ about it now.” Jounouchi grinned before he took the empty water bucket, putting it on his head. “Well, at the very least, I want to be the king of the sand palace.”
Atemu snickered a bit. “Oh? You’re the king?” He grinned, ignoring Yugi taking pictures, with Anzu taking a few when Yugi wanted in.
“Yes! And as king, I think we should go get burgers after this, cause we forgot food!”
The other four didn’t have any problems with that, and after a few more pictures, they packed up and left the beach, where the sand palace stayed until the tide came in.
