Ranko: Hey guys! So this is that 50 word prompt challenge that I promised you a while back!

Yuugi: To refresh your memory, Ranko takes 50 random words (that you guys gave her) and uses those words as a prompt to write a little story.

Yami: You'll see the way it is set up when you start reading it.

Ranko: I will be doing the first 25 this chapter and then the last 25 next chapter. I will also be writing these in the order in which I received them, not alphabetical. And none of these prompts are connected! They are all separate!

Yuugi: Ranko twin does not own anything related to Yu-Gi-Oh. This is a nonprofitable story.

Yami: If any of these prompts or occurrences have happened to you personally, it was not intentional. Although if anything of these things did happen to you in real life I would be impressed.

Ranko: Enjoy! Hopefully I didn't fail!

Proposal

"So, um, Yuugi, I was thinking, you know, since we are always together…that we should, I don't know, um…if you don't want to that's fine too! But I was just thinking that since we…we are always together that we might as well…um, how do I say this? Get married?"

Yami sighed and dropped his head in his hands. "How am I even supposed to propose to him if I can't even say it to his picture?"

Protect

Yami always protected Yuugi. Ever since they first met Yami has always been there for the boy. Yami was so strong and confident, Yuugi began to wonder if anything could hurt him. He imagined him as a god that couldn't be touched.

Then whenever Yami went overseas to fight in the war and his legs got blown off, Yuugi realized that it was his turn to protect Yami.

Reborn

Yuugi sat behind the counter in the Kame Game Shop. They had just returned from Egypt after the Ceremonial Duel and Yuugi missed Yami…or rather, Atem. He missed the feeling of someone always being there with him even if he was alone. He missed the comfortable weight of the Millennium puzzle against his chest.

He rested his chin in his hand and fought back the tears. He had cried enough during the past week. He couldn't keep dwelling on things, even though he missed Yami, even though he never got the chance to confess his true feelings, he had to accept that he would not be reborn.

Fairytale

"If we ever get married," Yuugi said suddenly, sitting next to Yami on the couch. "I want the theme of our wedding to be fairytales." Yuugi smiled brightly as he imagined what it would be like.

Yami also began to imagine it and then asked, "Why's that?"

Yuugi leaned his head on Yami's shoulder. "Because every day with you is like a fairytale."

Bunny

Yuugi rubbed his temples to fight back a headache. "Yami, for the last time, I am not wearing that for Halloween!"

Yami pouted. "Why not?"

"Because I'm not a girl!"

Determined

Yuugi was determined. He had been up all night playing this video game, trying to beat the final boss as Yami waited patiently so they could go to bed. Yuugi cheered in excitement whenever he delivered the finishing blow and the bright "K. O.!" letters flashed on the screen.

Yami picked Yuugi up and slung him over his shoulder. "Time for bed."

Sacrifice

Yuugi knew that he shouldn't have done what he had done. Yami deserved everything that was coming to him. He had let the power take over his heart and his mind. It scared Yuugi because while he watched Yami duel so cruelly he was reminded of the evil Yami that he had met when he first put the puzzle together.

But Yuugi also knew that if he didn't sacrifice himself to the power of the Orichalcos than the world would be lost. So Yuugi figured than his sacrifice and Yami's grief would be punishment enough for what his other half did.

Betrayal

Yami was a loyal person, a true friend. He was always there for others; that is something that Yuugi taught him. But he felt like he was betraying his best friend and his love as he walked through those doors to the after life.

Nature

Yami stared in horror as everyone in their health class watched a baby being born. There was a chorus of "Ew!" and "Oh God, can a woman really do that?" or "I'm never having kids!"

Yuugi rolled his eyes, completing calm about it. "I don't know what the big fuss is about," he whispered to Yami, "it is a natural part of nature."

"Yeah, well nature is disgusting," he whispered back.

Pain

"Ow! Yami, not so hard!"

"I'm sorry, I've never really done this before."

"Ouch, slow down, you're hurting me!"

"Well, I'm sorry! I'm doing the best I can!

"Well, you suck at giving back massages."

Redemption

Yami stood out in the hall between soul rooms. Except there was no door on the other side of the hall, just a blank wall. Because Yuugi was gone and he was never coming back. And it was all Yami's fault. He rested his hand against the smooth, cold stone as tears streamed down his face. "I promise, I will get you back," he said to the blank wall as if it were Yuugi. The tears came faster as a thought occurred to him…

Yuugi was never going to forgive him for this.

Stripes

"You look very handsome," Yuugi said as he straightened Yami's tie.

Yami looked down at the gray pin-striped suit he had on for Seto's wedding. "Yuugi, I look like Al Capone."

Instance

"Let's say, for instance, that there was a meteor about to hit the earth and only an alien race could stop it. But they wouldn't stop it unless you decided to go out with some guy like…um, Bandit Keith? Would you do it?"

Yuugi sighed. "Yami, I already told you that I wouldn't cheat on you, even if the world was going to be destroyed."

Jello

Yami realized a few things in the world of the living. One is that you can put alcohol in anything and two, Yuugi is really cute after he has taken fifteen jello shots.

Rooftops

Yami was a well known thief. He stole precious treasures from wealthy peoples' homes, things that were really no use to them and can be used for greater purposes.

He jumped from rooftop to rooftop as he escaped an aristocrat's home with his latest treasure. He looked down at the small bundle in his arms and smiled at the smiled at the beautiful boy lying there, his long lashes resting against his cheeks. Yami wasn't a usually a greedy person but when he saw this treasure one night, he knew he had to have it.

Coconuts

Yami knew that it was a bad idea to give Yuugi a Pina Colada as he watched his boyfriend flirt drunkenly with the bartender. He shook his head and grabbed Yuugi's arm, dragging him out of the bar.

Who knew Yuugi had such a low tolerance for alcohol?

Car

Yuugi was happy whenever Yami decided to stay in the world of the living with him instead of going on to the after life. But he knew that if Yami were to continue to live here in his own body he would have to learn how to drive.

Knife

Yuugi never knew how overprotective Yami could be until he cut his finger making dinner. It was just a little nick from the knife but when Yami saw the blood he insisted on driving Yuugi to the emergency room.

Work

"Yuugi, I'm home!" Yami called as he entered their apartment after a long day at work. When Yuugi didn't respond he searched the house and then he smiled softly whenever he saw Yuugi sleeping peacefully on the couch while he was waiting up for Yami.

Ski

Yami didn't know how to ski; he barely knew how to swim. But he wouldn't pass up the chance of seeing Yuugi in a bathing suit.

Cat

"Yami! Look at this little guy! Isn't he cute?" Yuugi asked excitedly, holding up a small kitten. They were in the pet store looking for a new pet.

Yami turned and looked at the little kitten. It was clinging to Yuugi's shirt and meowing excitedly at the cute boy. Yami narrowed his eyes and had a stare down at the little venom. If Yuugi decided he wanted this cat there was no way that Yami could say no, and then he knew he would be competing with this little beast for affection from Yuugi.

"I'm getting him!" Yuugi said.

Phone

Yuugi dialed the number for what felt like the hundredth time. He put it to his ear and listened to the ring mixed with the pounding of his own heart.

On the third ring, someone picked up, "Hey, Yuugi," a deep, sultry baritone voice answered.

Yuugi blushed and quickly hung up. He sighed; how was he supposed to talk to his own boyfriend if he got nervous just by hearing his voice?

Carpet

"What are all these stains on the carpet from?" Jounouchi asked as he walked around the living room in Yami and Yuugi's apartment.

Yuugi blushed and Yami burst out laughing.

Jounouchi blinked and then made a disgusted face. "Ew! Guys, too much information!"

Camping

Yami was not an outdoorsy person; he didn't think Yuugi was either. When their friends asked them to go on a camping trip with them, Yami was going to say no, but when he saw the look on Yuugi's face whenever it was mentioned, he couldn't refuse.

Fire

Yami missed one thing whenever he was trapped in the Millennium puzzle; he missed the light. He missed the comforting warmth of light. He didn't have any memories from his past life—if he had one—but he remembered the warmth of the sun on his skin. He missed that; he was trapped in darkness in this damned puzzle.

Then when he was set free, he was greeted with a such a bright, beautiful like that was more warm and comforting than a flame.
