Who wants fluff!? You want fluff? Alright then, enjoy the fluff~~

You know, I'm very fond of this fic, which is bad news for me because then I know I might get another idea and I'll be writing even more and I can't be doing that once school starts again. But honestly, puzzlenerds are worth it.

Please don't mind any mistakes I might have missed!

"Seriously?" Yugi looked at Atem, frustrated over losing another duel to him.

Atem returned his remaining hand to his deck, a triumphant smirk on his face, "Yes, Yugi. Seriously. I won, again."

Yugi rolled his eyes, "I demand a rematch."

Atem chuckled, "Oh but of course!" Atem stood, moving the table back into its original position and away from Yugi's lap, "But first, you have to take your meds. I'll be back." Atem nodded, walking out of the room.

Yugi wasted no time in stretching out his legs, leaning back into the soft pillows. It was nice knowing that Atem was always there to keep him company, but he couldn't deny the fact that he missed going outside. A person could only take so much when it came to losing duel after duel to Atem before they got tired of it. Yugi hated being stuck in bed all day, every day when it came to staying in the hospital. After being cooped up in a hospital room for months and now a week since waking up, he craved fresh air. Yugi figured he could ask Yami if he would take him outside once he got back from school.

"I'm back." Atem announced, walking up to Yugi's bed, "They've changed your meds so hopefully these will help a lot more." He handed Yugi the small plastic cup that held the medicine and a cup of water, "I really need you to keep taking these okay? If they don't do anything for you, please let us know, Yugi. I cannot stress that enough."

Yugi just nodded before popping the pills in his mouth and swallowing them down with the water. He handed Atem back the two cups, "I know." He sighed, looking out the window, "Hey Atem?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think I can get out of this bed today? I really miss the fresh air."

Atem smiled, "I don't see why not. I would recommend a chair, however. You're not strong enough to walk on your own yet."

Yugi nodded, "Understandable."

"And I'm sure Yami would tell you the same. Let me guess, you would like for him to take you out today?"

Yugi couldn't help but blush, "It would be nice."

Atem looked at the letter on the bedside table, knowing full well what Yami had gifted Yugi, "Maybe he could give you that gift outside then. It is a nice day, today."

"Well, the hospital's garden isn't exactly ideal, but it will have to do for now."

Just then, an idea made its way into Atem's mind. He smirked, "Well, it sure beats a sterile room. Now, I must get back to my other patients. You get some rest." He nodded, quickly making his way out of the room. His eyes scanned the halls before landing on Mahado as he was leaving a patient's room, "Mahado!" He shouted, jogging up the nurse, "I need your help with something!" He smiled at him, grasping his arms.

Mahado looked at his boyfriend, groaning at the look on his face. He knew that look. That was look that he got when he had an idea and there no way he was going to let it go anytime soon. Mahado sighed. There was no way he could ever turn down Atem's requests, "Alright. What do you want me to do?"

Atem kissed his cheek, "Just meet in the garden at lunch, okay?"

Mahado watched Atem walk off. He rolled his eyes, "This guy…"

Atem couldn't hide the smile on his face as he switched out Yugi's empty I.V. with a full bag. Yugi looked up to him, trying to read Atem's expression, "You seem happy."

Atem shrugged, "Just excited over something." He looked at the time on his watch, "School got out a few minutes ago. Yami should be here soon. I'm sure he missed you today."

Yugi furrowed his brows, "I'm sure." Yugi couldn't help but wonder why Atem seemed so chipper all of a sudden. He had be wearing that same grin almost all day, "Atem, are you planning something?"

Atem just shrugged again, "What gave you that idea, Yugi?"

"Just a hunch."

"Well, you think what you want." He nodded at Yugi before leaving the room and jogging for the elevator. As soon as the doors opened and as Yami took a step out, Atem pulled him by the wrist and dragged him to the waiting area, "You're going to give Yugi the gift today, right?"

Yami nodded, "That was the plan." He stated, although it sounded more like a question, "Why?"

"You need to hold off on that."

"And why is that?" Yami asked, crossing his arms, quickly catching onto his brother's behavior, "You've got something planned, don't you?"

"That I do, little brother. Trust me, you'll thank me. Just don't give it to him until I say so, okay?"

Yami sighed, "Very well."

Atem grinned at him, "Good. Also, you're taking Yugi out to the garden tonight. He asked me earlier if he could get out of the room for a while. And that is where you'll give him the gift, okay?"

"Atem!" Yami couldn't help but whine at his brother, "You know I'm not good at that romantic stuff and while it is the hospital's garden, it's still a garden and that just screams romance."

Atem couldn't help but flinch. He held his hands out, waving them, an innocent smile on his face, "Sorry! But come on! Yugi needs something good to happen to him! He's getting restless being cooped up in the room all day long and you know that. He likes seeing you and this will only make things better for him."

Yami sighed, "Okay, fine." Yami couldn't deny it. He liked the idea of doing some special for Yugi, but he just wasn't so sure about his abilities to be romantic with him. Yami was rather nervous about the whole thing. Giving Yugi the gift was one thing but throwing Atem's plan on top of it just made things worse.

Sensing his brother's worries, Atem patted him on the back, "It'll be fine, brother! Besides, it's not like Yugi will dump you if you stumble over your words or even do something worse to embarrass yourself." He laughed at the glare Yami gave him, "Just saying!"

Yami sighed, "Okay then." He walked off, leaving his brother to his plans. Yami knew Atem meant well and he did appreciate it, but he just couldn't help but feel nervous over the whole thing. Yami smiled to himself, walking into Yugi's room. However, his smile only grew bigger once he caught sight of Yugi fast asleep. Despite him looking quite weak still and being confined to a hospital room, he still looked rather peaceful asleep.

Yami quietly made his way to his usual spot and sat down. He stroked Yugi's cheek, chuckling when Yugi moved closer to him, "Yami…" Yugi mumbled, a small blissful smile on his face.

Yami leaned in, placing a kiss on Yugi's forehead, "I'm right here, Yugi." He whispered, not wanting to wake Yugi but still wanting him to know of his presence.

Yami sat there in a comfortable silence, stroking Yugi's cheek with his thumb as he slept. However, that silence was short lived when a fuming Atem walked in, pulling Bakura by the ear. Yami's eyes widened at seeing the state Bakura was in, "You really did it, huh?"

Bakura gave him an innocent smile, "It wasn't just me."

"The other two idiots will be in here soon." Atem added, his arms crossed, "What did you guys do? Seriously Bakura, you haven't changed at all."

Their attention was soon turned to Malik and Jounouchi walking in, equally hurt as Bakura. Ryou followed, rolling his eyes, "You're lucky you didn't join them, Yami."

Atem's eyes widened as he looked at his brother, "What did they do Yami and were you thinking of joining in on their stupidity?"

Yami was about to say something until Yugi waking up caught his attention. Yugi rubbed his eyes, trying to shake off the sleep that wanted to wash over him again, "You guys are too loud." Yugi blinked, looking at the three beat up teens in the room. He looked over to Atem, who was ready to tackle them and teach them a lesson. Then he looked over to Yami, who just gave him an innocent smile. Finally, Yugi looked to Ryou, who just sighed.

"They beat up Ushio and his goons for us, Yugi." Ryou told him, shaking his head.

Yugi looked at the three, "You did what?"

Jounouchi rubbed the back of his neck, "Yug," he sheepishly started, "Ushio pulled that texting stunt again. He stole Marik's phone so he could harass you and Ryou. So we kinda... sorta, taught him a lesson."

Yugi's shoulders fell, too tired to even give Jounouchi his usual talk. He looked over to Yami, "Did you know about this?"

Yami nodded, "I did."

"And did you want to join them?"

Yami looked down for a while. He sighed, giving a small nod, "I didn't want him to just torture you and get away with it, but I knew you wouldn't want me to get hurt or do anything stupid. I figured you could get mad at Jounouchi instead."

"Hey!"

Yami gave an innocent smile and shrug at Jounouchi before turning back to Yugi, "I hope you're not mad."

Yugi sighed, shaking his head, "I can't be mad, I'm too tired."

Yami gave him a sympathetic smile, "Get some sleep. I've got a surprise for you later." He leaned in and placed a kiss on Yugi's cheek, "I'll be here when you wake up, okay?"

Yugi nodded, his eyes already closing, "Hmm."

Yami couldn't help but smile as Yugi drifted off to a blissful slumber, "Sleep tight, Partner."

"Awww…"

Yami's eyes widened as a bright blush made its way on his face as the others couldn't help but tease Yami's affections. He pouted and turned his head, "Shut up."

Atem helped Yugi into the wheelchair while Mahado moved the I.V. to the hook on the chair. Atem placed a light blanket over Yugi, "It's a bit chilly outside which means that Yami and your gramps will have my head if you get sick under my care."

Yami had left for the garden a few minutes ago, taking the gift from the letter with him. He paced back and forth, waiting for Atem and Mahado to wheel Yugi down. Yami sighed, trying to calm his nerves. He kept telling himself not to be nervous over this thing but he couldn't help himself. He couldn't help but wonder if Yugi would laugh at his attempts to be romantic or even dump him. He sat on a nearby bench, letting out a breath. It was now or never and didn't matter if Yami was ready for this or not.

"Are your eyes still closed, Yugi?" Atem asked, while Mahado held the door leading out to the garden open.

Yugi nodded, a small smile on his face, "Yes."

Atem flashed an excited smile to Mahado, "Keep them closed okay?"

Atem gestured to Yami, silently asking him to come join them. He patted Yami on the back while Mahado gave him a supportive thumbs up. The two left Yami and Yugi alone, most likely to find a spot to hide and spy on the two.

With a deep breath, Yami held onto the handles of the chair. He wheeled Yugi down to a certain path until he stopped, "Okay. You can open your eyes now, Yugi."

Yugi nodded, slowly opening his eyes. Immediately, the sight took his breath away. He looked at the path before him, purple and red rose petals littered the stone pathway. The yellow rose bushes that lined the path were shining with lights, illuminating the path. Yugi blinked a few times before turning his head to look back at Yami, "It's beautiful."

Yami smiled at him, "It was Atem's idea."

Yugi nodded, "True, but how about I give you the credit, instead?"

Yami's smile grew, "I like that." He ruffled Yugi's hair before wheeling Yugi down the path, "They sure did go through a lot just dress this place up."

"Atem just wanted you to look good. You're not good at this romantic stuff, right?" Yugi asked, tilting his head a bit, wanting to get a good look at Yami.

Yami sighed, "I have no idea how to be a proper boyfriend. Please forgive my lack of romantic knowledge."

Yugi giggled, "I forgive you."

Yami smiled, finally stopping in front of an archway, covered in lights. Under the arch, was a circle of rose petals. Yami couldn't help but roll his eyes at the lengths Atem went to make him look good. However, he smiled when he heard Yugi gasp in awe. Yami wheeled Yugi in the middle of the circle. He turned the chair around to face the path they were just on.

Gathering up all his courage, he pulled the gift from his pocket, "Alright Yugi, please close your eyes again."

Yugi rolled his eyes, despite the giddy smile on his face. He closed his eyes, "If I do anymore of this, I just might fall asleep." He laughed.

Yami opened the small pouch, pulling out the golden necklace that sat inside. He moved to stand in front of Yugi. He took in a deep breath before letting it out. He looked at the necklace in his hand before undoing the clasp. He leaned in, clasping the hook of the necklace around Yugi's neck. He gently placed the small pendant of the necklace on Yugi's chest before placing a small kiss on the teen's cheek, "Open them."

Yugi placed his hand on the pendant, opening his eyes. He picked up the pendant, smiling down at the necklace. The pendant was in the shape of a golden inverted pyramid. He ran his thumb over the eye that was on the front of the pyramid.

"The Eye of Wdjat." Yami started, "In Egyptian Mythology, Wdjat was the protector of Lower Egypt. It is said that a Pharaoh had a powerful set of magical items made called the Millennium Items. One of those Items was the Millennium Puzzle, which was held by the Pharaoh. The Puzzle was to be passed down to his son once he took the title of Pharaoh. The pendant was made inspired by the Puzzle itself. My father had given it to Atem, then Atem passed it down to me, which I have decided to give to you."

Yugi looked up to Yami. He was at a loss of words. This necklace was a family heirloom, why did Yami give it to him in the first place? He looked back down to the necklace, smiling at it. He couldn't deny the wave of emotions that hit him, "Yami, I don't know what to say."

"I gave it to you because," Yami looked down, the nervousness returning to him, "I gave it to you because in a way, you're my other half. I know it sounds cheesy but it's my way of saying that I love you, Yugi."

Yugi blinked a few times. Did Yami just say that he loved him? Yugi knew this was coming soon enough but when he heard it, it just seemed too unreal. He touched the pendant, feeling those butterflies in his stomach again. He smiled up at Yami, "You said in the letter than your father had a matching one made, right?"

Yami nodded, pulling out another pouch from his pocket, "My mom said that matching necklaces are too cute to pass up."

"Well then, kneel down in front of me."

Yami blinked a few times before nodding. He knelt down in front of Yugi, handing the pouch to him. He watched as Yugi gingerly pulled the necklace out. Yugi smiled down at the matching pendant before clasping the necklace around Yami's neck.

"There." Yugi smiled, looking into Yami's eyes. He took hold of Yami's hand with both of his own, "I guess this means I love you back, then."

It was quiet, the two just looked each other in the eyes. Yugi could hear his heartbeat in his ears. He didn't notice when Yami had moved in a bit closer to him.

Yami took hold of Yugi's chin, tilting his head up a little bit, "Yugi, can I kiss you?"

Yugi nodded, feeling the blush on his cheeks, "Of course."

Closer.

Just a little closer.

Yugi closed his eyes as Yami gently pushed lips against his. Yugi smiled into the kiss as Yami deepened it.

From their hiding place, Atem gripped Mahado's arm in excitement.

Yugi was smiling from ear to ear. Yami smirked at him, pushing their foreheads together, "So, I'm a good kisser, right?"

Yugi rolled his eyes, "Oh hush." Yugi looked down, feeling a little embarrassed, "You know, I never thought that I'd have my first kiss at a hospital."

Yami took hold of Yugi's hand, running his thumb over the hand, "Well, for a first kiss, it wasn't bad."

Yugi smiled, "I'll take that as a compliment." Yugi could already feel his body screaming at him to sleep, but at the same time, he didn't want to leave.

Yami, however, quickly caught on, "Yugi, you need your rest."

Yugi didn't bother to hold back his groan, "Do I have to?"

Yami laughed, "Yes, you do."

Despite wanting to protest, Yugi's eyes started to close, "But Yami…"

"No but Yami's." He leaned in and kissed Yugi on the cheek, "Let's get you into bed."

Yugi only yawned, tiredly nodding his head, "Fine."

Needless to say, Yugi didn't stay awake for the trip back to his room.

Also, I've mentioned Marik in this chapter and the last one. You guys think I should include him in the next chapter? I was thinking about it but I'm not sure so... please let me know if I should include him or not.

Maybe I'll give you guys some eclipseshipping in the next chapter depending on the answer I get. (I don't like using bronzeshipping so if I ever mention that ship, I'll use eclipseshipping instead.)
