Universal Love

Chapter 10

Date Preparations

Serenity, Ryou, Malik, and Joey ran into Yugi's room Saturday afternoon. "Hey you guys" Yugi greeted.

"Hi, we're here to help" Serenity said smiling.

"Thanks, I could use the help" Yugi said a sad look on his face.

"You're welcome. We're glad to help" Ryou said.

"Thanks. I need something dressy yet casual at the same time" Yugi said.

"Gotchya" Joey said shuffling through Yugi's closet.


Seto, Duke, Mai, Marik, Bakura and Mahad walked into Yami's room Saturday afternoon. "Hey" Yami greeted them. "What do you guys think?" Yami asked turning around.

"What are you guys doing again?" Seto asked.

"Um, well, I'm suprising Yugi with a dinner, we're walking along the beach, and going horseback riding. I thought it would be fun" Yami said shrugging.

"Okay, well, you're to dressy for horseback riding" Seto said.

Yami sighed and sat on his bed "I was afraid of that."

"Lose the slacks champ" Mai said. She walked over and picked out a pair of jeans that looked nice but had a hole in the right knee and were faded on the thighs. "Put these on" Mai said throwing the pants at Yami.

"You don't think these are to casual?" Yami asked.

"Nah, those are fine" Duke said giving Yami the thumbs up.

"What about my shirt?" Yami asked.

"I like the button up shirt. It's your style" Mai said.

"Agreed" Mahad said.

"Hey Mahad, what are you doing here?" Yami asked.

"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't miss this for the world" Mahad chuckled.

Yami chuckled "Jee thanks you guys." Yami pulled on the jeans that Mai had thrown him, and buttoned his shirt up.

"Uh uh" Mai said shaking her head at Yami.

"Uh uh what?" Yami asked.

Mai walked over and unbuttoned some buttons on Yami's shirt. "Let that sexy ass, muscular chest show a little Yami, jeeze. You have a great complection and all these muscles, at least show them off."

"Mai!" Yami said looking at Mai as if she just shot someone.

"Just saying" Mai said shrugging. She started rolling up Yami's sleeves to his elbows while Seto picked out some boots.

"I wonder if Yugi is going through this too" Yami said.

"Oh, he is" Mai said giggling. She got done with the right sleeve and started with the left.

"Really?" Yami asked raising a brow.

"Yep" Mai said walking over to Yami's dresser. She started picking up different colognes and smelling them. Marik and Bakura picked up the deodorant and handed it to Yami. Yami put it on as Mai walked over and sprayed him with cologne.

Yami started coughing "Mai! You didn't even let me get my damn mouth closed!"

"Sorry" Mai shrugged.

"What an asshole" Yami chuckled.


"I like this outfit" Yugi said looking at himself in the mirror. Yugi was in light blue, faded blue jeans, a black v-neck sweater, his sleeves rolled to his elbows, a black choker around his neck, and white Nike tennis shoes with a black Nike symbol on them.

"You look cute in v-neck shirts" Serenity said.

"Agreed" Malik said standing behind Yugi.

"You guys are so great" Yugi said hugging his friends.

"We know" they all giggled.

"You think Yami is done yet?" Yugi asked.

"I'll go see" Serenity cheered as she ran out the door.

Yugi and the others giggled as she ran out.


"Okay, now put this on, and comb your hair back" Mai said.

"Okay, okay, I can only do one thing at a time" Yami said.

"Then you comb your hair and I'll put this around your neck" Mai said wrapping the choker around Yami's neck.

"To tight!" Yami choked out.

"Whoops, sorry hun" Mai giggled.

Yami coughed as Mai loosened the choker. "Jeeze, kill me why don't you" Yami joked with Mai as he finished combing his hair. "Am I good yet?" Yami asked.

Mai stepped back and looked at him. "I like it, the boots are good too, nice choice Seto."

"Thanks" Seto said.

Yami turned to look in the mirror "Not half bad."

"Half?" Mai asked standing behind Yami, pressed up against his back.

"I like it" Yami smirked at her over his shoulder.

Mai giggled "I knew you would. Here, you forgot your belt" Mai handed Yami his black belt with the metal silver circles around the holes.

"Thank you Mai" Yami said threading the belt through the belt loops of his jeans.

"Let's see" Mai said circling Yami. "Pants that show off your butt" Yami yelped in suprise as Mai grabbed his butt.

"MAI!" Yami yelled.

Mai giggled "I'm kidding. Anyway, the shirt shows off your chest, and your muscles, the eyeliner brings out your eyes, you smell amazing, and the boots just pull it all together. You sir, are ready for your date."

"Finally" Yami cheered.

"Hey you guys, is Yami- OH my gosh! Yami you look amazing" Serenity said running into the room.

Yami chuckled "Thanks Serenity, is Yugi ready?"

"He su-"

"You could say that" Yugi said from the door.

Yami smiled as he turned to see Yugi leaning against the doorway. "Well hello handsome" Yami said as he walked over to Yugi.

"Hello sexy" Yugi said smiling at Yami.

Yami chuckled and shook his head "Are you ready?" Yami held out his right elbow.

"I'm ready" Yugi giggled as he wrapped his arm around Yami's elbow.

"Okay. Don't wait up for us" Yami said as they walked down the stairs.

"Yeah right! We want all the juicy deets when you get back!" Marik yelled down the stairway.

"I don't kiss and tell!" Yami yelled back.

"Well son of a bitch!" Marik yelled back. "That is such bullshit!"

Yami and Yugi started laughing at the bottom of the stairs. They walked out and Yami lead Yugi over to a crimson red Trail Blazer. "Is this yours?" Yugi asked.

"Well I'm not stealing it if that's what you're implying" Yami said chuckling.

"This hasn't been here since I got here, where'd it come from?" Yugi asked as Yami opened up his door and helped him in.

"I had it in storage, went and got it out last night" Yami said.

"Oh. Well I like it" Yugi said.

"I figured you would" Yami chuckled.

Yami made sure Yugi was done talking before he closed Yugi's door and walked around to the driver side. Yami got in the truck and started it up, headed towards the country. "So, I was thinking we go horseback riding first, while it's still daylight outside."

"Sounds good to me" Yugi said playing with his shirt sleeve.

Yami saw how nervous Yugi was. He reached over and grabbed Yugi's left hand gently with his right hand. Yugi gasped for a moment but blushed when Yami kissed the back of his hand before sitting their hands on the center console. Yami glanced over and smiled at Yugi, and Yugi smiled back. Yugi leaned his head over on Yami's shoulder, and started humming. Yami recognized the tune as the one Yugi had always hummed. "Yugi? Can I ask you something?" Yami asked.

"You kind of just did" Yugi said quietly, looking up at Yami, leaving his head on Yami's shoulder.

Yami glanced at Yugi out of the corner of his eye and chuckled "Okay, well can I ask you something else then?" Yugi started giggling but nodded his head. "Okay, well, where did you learn that tune from?"

"You mean the one that I hum all the time?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah, it's very relaxing, and you never change it."

"I learned it from my mom" Yugi looked down to where Yami was still holding his hand. "She used to hum it to me when I was little. I hum it when I'm happy or upset. It makes me feel better, raises the spirits, you know."

Yami chuckled quietly "Yeah. I understand. It's a beautiful song."

"Thank you" Yugi said.

"You are welcome" Yami said.

"Did you feel like a dress-up doll too?" Yugi asked, not wanting the conversation to stop. He liked talking to Yami, it comforted him for some odd reason.

"I did, Mai made me eat my own cologne. Sure she apologized for it, but she said that at least my breath would smell good" Yami chuckled.

Yugi giggled "I think Mai and Serenity had the most fun dressing us up."

"Agreed, I froze when Serenity walked in. First thought was 'oh boy, here it comes, something is going to be wrong'" Yami chuckled.

"I think you look good" Yugi said snuggling into Yami's shoulder.

"I think you look good too" Yami said quietly.

"You smell really good too" Yugi said quietly.

Yami chuckled "You owe that one to Mai. Since she practically drowned me in cologne" Yugi started giggling.

The two of them continued down the road a little ways further, talking about different things, just to keep conversation going.

Me: Okay, so I divided up their date because I want the date itself to be seperate from the date preparations and the ride to the date :P Don't ask, I'm just being pissy about it :D Anyway! The actual date will be next chapter :) lol and until next time *waves* goodbye! :)
