But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special.]

I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?] She spread her arms.
Yugi cross his arms.
(Yugi)
[Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again.] He pointed at where Tea was.
Both cousins begin to dance with their bodies.
(Hoshi & Yugi)
[Last Christmas
I gave you my heart

Yugi put his left hand on his chest while his right arm was stretch out to the side.
(Yugi)

Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.] He put his face in his hands.
Hoshi put her hands on her hips.
(Hoshi)
[A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again.] She pointed to Tea.
The two cousins put their arm around each other's shoulder.

"We would like to dedicate this song to our lovers, Yugi and Hoshi." Yami said.
The song begin to play.
(Yami & Akuma)
[I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you.]
Akuma look at Hoshi and smiled.
(Akuma)
[I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby]
Yami look at Yugi with his eyes filled with love in them.
(Yami)
[I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you]
Yami and Akuma smiled at the two and stretch their arms in front of them.
(Yami and Akuma)
[All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me.]
Yugi and Hoshi felt like their going to cry of happiness.
(Yami & Akuma)
[Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you.] The two stretch their right arm in front of them.
(Yami & Akuma)
[All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby.]

It was now the week of Christmas, and people were getting things done before Christmas. Yugi was in his room wondering what to get Yami. Soon, his cell rang and Yugi notice the ring tone as his cousin, Hoshi.
"Yeah, Hoshi?" Yugi asked.
"I need help, Yugi!" Hoshi shouted in panic, making Yugi pull his phone away from his ear.
"What's wrong?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know what to get Akuma." Hoshi said.
Yugi laughed "Well, same here. I don't know what to get Yami."
"Looks like we don't know what to get our Darks." Hoshi said chuckling.
Then Yugi got an Idea.
"Hoshi, meet me at the mall. We can find our gifts for the darks." Yugi said.
"Or we can go together." Hoshi said.
"Ok, I'll meet you at your place." Yugi said then hung up.
Yugi went downstairs, told his grandpa that he was going to Hoshi's then to the mall. Luckily, Yami went out with Akuma and hoping that they won't run into each other. Yugi put on his black winter boots and a brown winter jacket, left the house and head towards Hoshi's house. He knows where her house is, because he's been there and Hoshi told him and the group that Serena and her go all out on Christmas decorations, so find the house that is unlike the others.
(Line Skip)
Yugi and Hoshi walk through the mall, trying to find something. The mall was crowded with last minute shoppers.
"So, what does the pharaoh like?" Hoshi asked.
"Well, he likes games and something remind him of his home country." Yugi said.
Hoshi was thinking then something catch her eye.
"You said that 'something remind him of Egypt,' right." Hoshi said.
"Yeah, that's right." Yugi said.
Hoshi turn his head to a store. Yugi saw something that made him gasped. In the store was a necklace with the Eye of Horus hanging from a gold chain. Yugi and Hoshi went into the store and went up to the clerk.
"Excuse me sir, but I like to know how much the eye of Horus necklace cost?" Yugi asked, fearing for the cost.
"Oh, it was on $100." The clerk said "But it's on sale for $50."
Yugi flinch, he only have $20 in his wallet. He should have taken more out of his bank account. Hoshi notice this and smile.
"We'll take it." Hoshi said.
Yugi gasped "Hoshi, it cost…"
Hoshi pulled out her wallet like purse and pull out thirty dollars.
"We'll split it, Yugi." Hoshi said winking at him.
"Very well, should I wrap it up?" The clerk asked.
"No thanks sir." Yugi said.
The two pay and the necklace was put into a box then in a bag. The two thank the clerk and left. Yugi felt relief that his Christmas shopping was done.
"Ok Hoshi, what does Akuma like?" Yugi asked.
"A lot of things, but she enjoys history and science more than anything subject." Hoshi said.
Yugi nodded.
"Say what kind of history does she like. I'll laugh if it's ancient history." Yugi said.
"Well to your surprise, it's all of history. Past and Present. As for science, just animal science." Hoshi said.
"Will she read books or watch movies?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah." Hoshi said.
The two head into another store that has movies and books. The two look around and Hoshi saw a book and movie for her girlfriend.
"Yugi, how's this?" Hoshi asked showing him.
Yugi saw a movie documentary set on United States Wars and an encyclopedia on dinosaurs.
"That works Hoshi." Yugi said smiling "How much is it together?"
"The total will be 20 bucks. The movie is $10 and the book was $10." Hoshi said.
Yugi nodded. Hoshi pay for Akuma's gift and walked out of the store. Hoshi then notice a stand that she seen before and pull Yugi towards it.
"What is it?" Yugi asked as he saw the stand.
"They design things with glass." Hoshi said.
Yugi look at the glass design in awed. The glass figuring's look so nice and beautiful. Yugi then notice something. There was a small glass pyramid gold on its tips. He look at its tag that says $7. Now he wish that he haven't bought the necklace.
"Find something you like for Yami?" Hoshi asked.
Yugi look at her and notice that she has a glass figuring of a Moose on a rock.
"I'll pay for yours as well Yugi, I don't mind. I sell crafts that I made at home and won tournaments as well." Hoshi said.
Yugi was about to offend but saw an ATM machine.
"Be right back." Yugi said before rushing over to the machine.
He return with $7. He handle the pyramid carefully.
"I'll pay for my own, Hoshi." Yugi said.
Hoshi nodded smiling. Yugi pay for his and Hoshi pay hers that cost like $12.
The two ate at a pretzel place. Yugi have a plan pretzel with a Root beer soda while Hoshi have a cheese pretzel with a Sierra mist soda. Once they were done, they left the mall and headed home.

The house have four bedrooms total, Solomon took the guest bedroom and Yugi and Yami decided to sleep in Akuma's and Hoshi's bedroom; luckily, the girls have a futon. Yugi woke up and look at the clock on the nightstand that says 7:15 am. Yugi decided to go back to sleep and snuggle against Yami as the pharaoh wrapped his arms around the boy. Soon, a knock on the door.

"Ok let's open presents while we eat." Serena said.
The group sat down. The Yami, Yugi, and Hoshi took the couch while Akuma took the chair next to Hoshi. Nobody wants to go first. Serena sighed then smiled. She got up and went to the Christmas tree she grab each gift for each of them and handed them over.
"I'm so used to having Yugi and Hoshi running to a tree and ripping their presents apart, dad." Serena said giggling.
Solomon chuckled as both Yugi and Hoshi blush. Serena open her present from Hoshi. It was a necklace with a pink ribbon pendant. Serena knows what the pink ribbon symbolized.

For the rest of the day, Serena and Solomon were talking in the kitchen while the four teens went to the craft/hang out room to play the new games. They play 'Until dawn' and the game itself was creepy and Yugi always hid in Yami's chest if something scary came up. When they decided to play 'Call of Duty: Black Ops III' and everyone was having a blast, even though Yami vow to kill Hoshi's character after Hoshi had manage to sneak on his character and ether shoot him or stab him.

When dinner was over, they have dessert which was Pumpkin pie, Chocolate cream pie, and Apple pie. At seven, Solomon, Yugi, and Yami decided to head home. They thank Serena, Akuma, and Hoshi then left. When they got home, Solomon decided to head to bed while Yugi and Yami went to their room. Yugi lay down on the bed while Yami went over to the desk and grab a small box.
"Aibou." Yami said sitting down on the bed.
Yugi look at him then at the box in confused.
"This is for you." Yami said smiling.
Yugi grab the box, open it, and gasp. It was a silver chain necklace, it has amethyst beads between each pendant, in the middle was the word Hakari pendant, on both sides of it was the word Aibou, then the words Koi, then a yang symbol meaning light, then an angle pendant, the last two pendants was the eye of Horus. Yugi smiled at Yami.
"It's beautiful, Yami." Yugi said.
"I asked Hoshi to make the design since I suck at jewelry making." Yami said "Instead, she made two necklaces, that one and this one." Yami said taking the necklace out of his shirt that was on his neck.
It was a similar design, except it was a gold chain, has crimson beads between each pendant, in the middle was the word Yami, on both sides of it was the words my other half in Japanese words, then the words Koi, then a yin symbol meaning dark, then a skull pendant, the last two pendants was also eye of Horus. Yugi smiled then look back at his necklace.
"I guess this necklace means that I'm the light while your necklace means you're the dark." Yugi said.
Yami smiled then kissed Yugi's lips. Yugi return the kiss. Once they pull apart Yami put his forehead against Yugi's forehead.
"I love you, Yugi. And I'm so glad that I didn't enter the afterlife. You're the only person that I will ever love." Yami said.
Yugi smiled "I love you as well, Pharaoh. But look up."
Yami look up then chuckled. A mistletoe hung there.
"That wasn't there before, but oh well." Yami said before kissing Yugi again.
When they pull apart they got ready for bed.
"Good night Yami, and merry Christmas." Yugi said.
"Good night Yugi, and merry Christmas." Yami said before Yugi fell asleep.
"Like that song I sang at the school, gifts aren't all I needed. I just want you, my Koi, my Aibou, my light, Yugi." Yami thought before he fell asleep.
Unknown to the two, two of their look a likes were watching them.
"Glad that they're happy together. They belong to this world then us, Atem." Heba said.
Atem held his koi close to him.
"Yeah, glad that Cleo put the mistletoe there. But now where is my kiss." Atem said smirking.
Heba kissed Atem as the pharaoh kissed back. A cough caught them off guard. The two pull apart and stare at Nefertiti and Cleo.
"Do you mind not interrupt what I'm doing." Atem growled.
"Hey, did our job at Hoshi's and Akuma's place. Now we need to head back to the afterlife." Nefertiti said.
"She's right. I did the mistletoe part for them, now let's go before the gods kill us." Cleo said.
The two boys' nodded and the four Egyptians left, leaving the two sleep in peace.
