Yugi was laying on his bed half drowning in thought. 'If I could die with the ones I love and cherish by my side, I'd die happy. It'd be even better if we died together. Then no one would suffer. Even if I could only die with one person, I'd want it to be Yami. I just wish I could tell him I loved him... I'd probably kill myself if I did and he said no. If that did happen, I'd probably take a bottle of sleeping pills. That's most likely the easiest.'
He snapped out of his thoughts. 'No! Bad Yugi! No suicidal thoughts!' He scolded himself. 'I will not contemplate ideas like those!' He mentally screamed. He calmed down a few minutes later. He slowly drifted back into dreamland, not noticing that he had grabbed his favorite stuffed animal, a duck named Kevin. He had gone to a carnival with Yami shortly after the final duel, at which Yami had chosen to stay with Yugi and live a life as a normal human. While at the carnival, there was a ring toss they had gone to, and Yami won it for Yugi. Now, Yugi had began to imagine a super cheesy cliche fantasy.
Yami was down on the couch, watching some show that hardly kept his interest. He sighed. 'I wish I could spend some time with Yugi, but he's always in his room. I miss being with him all the time.' Over the time of him and Yugi sharing a mind, he'd grown to love Yugi. 'I hope nothing's upsetting him.' Then he remembered their mind-link. Figuring it's probably better than what's on the television, he decided to check it out.
'Yugi, there's something I've been meaning to tell you...' Yami began. 'What is it Mou Hitori No Boku?' Yugi questioned. Yami got down on his knees and said 'Yugi...I love you! I want to be with you forever and always!' His darkness told him. Yugi was at a loss of words for a moment after hearing exactly what he always wanted, and replied. 'I love you too!'
Yami blushed at what he saw in the link. 'He must have forgotten about it. Well, at least I can use it as my advantage. Now I know he likes me back.' With that, he started up the stairs. 'Let's see... I'll just ask him if he wants to go out Tuesday. I can probably get Grandpa to cover my shift.'
Yugi leaned in to kiss Yami. Their lips were about to touch and-
"Well, well well... what have we here?" Yami said, interrupting his thoughts.
He gasped at the sudden intrusion of his privacy as his attention snapped towards the door.
"Oops, I apologize. Did I ruin a special moment between you and Kevin?" he said with a smirk. At first Yugi was puzzled at the comment, then realized that whilst day-dreaming, he had taken Kevin and started cuddling him., and at that moment he was about to kiss him.
A bright blush appeared on his face.. "Oh! N-no! O-of course not!" Yami chuckled "Well, Yugi, there's something I've been meaning to ask you." Yugi froze and panic washed across his mind as he heard those words. 'They're almost identical to the ones in my fantasy!'
"Well, I was wondering if on Tuesday you would please-" Up til then, he had been standing, but for some Ra-forsaken reason, he got down on his knees, raising Yugi's inner panic level "-uh, cover my shift in the game shop?"
Now he had his hands in a begging position and oddly resembled a mixture of an otter and a puppy. He started mentally yelling at himself for chickening out on asking Yugi on a date. 'I know he likes me, and I definitely know I like him, but why couldn't I do it? Stupid! Stupid Yami!'
Yugi's heart sank. "Oh. Uh, yeah. Sure." Yami, now feeling a little awkward, said "Okay. Well, thanks. Uh, I guess I'll be going now..." but what was going through his head was 'Great. I blew my chance, and I probably won't get another for a long time. Way to go, Yami. Way. To. Go.'
