Yugi had gone home that evening and was using the next few days to relax before New Years Eve. It was two days before and Joey called to go out for coffee.

Yugi met him at the coffee shop and smiled when he found Joey in the corner smiling at his ring. Yugi sat down and they began chatting right away.

"It's such a nice ring, isn't it?" Joey asked.
"Well yeah, it's Kaiba and he loves you, of course it's going to be nice." Yugi chuckled.
"I'm so excited for the wedding."
"Did you guys pick a date?"
"Seto wanted it to be extravagant, but he wanted it to be soon. So we picked July."
"It's going to be wonderful." Yugi smiled.
"Yug…I want you to be my best man."
Yugi was speechless.
"Come on, you had to know I was going to ask you." Joey smiled.
"Of course…of course I'll be your best man. Thank you, Joey." Yugi said and went to hug him.
"Enough wedding talk. How are things with Yami?"
"They're…amazing." Yugi smiled.
"Yug…" Joey inquired.
"I think I'm ready, Joey."
"Yugi, are you sure about this?"
"Yeah…I am." Yugi smiled, realizing just how sure he was. He pulled the dog tags out of his shirt and showed Joey.
"Wow…he got this made for you?" Joey asked.
Yugi just nodded.
"As much as I hate to say it…I really think he loves you, Yug."
"I know he does…and I love him."
"I haven't seen you look so happy in years…you glow when you talk about him Yugi."
Yugi blushed and looked down at the dog tags.
"You're right…I do. He's my soulmate, Joey. I was stupid to believe I could ever be without him."
"It makes sense…after all you two have been through."
"After I won that duel, Joey…all those years ago…you would never know how terrified I was that he was going to go back…that he was going to leave me here."
"I knew he wasn't going to leave you here. We all knew." Joey smiled.
"I think part of me knew, but I was too afraid." Yugi chuckled.
The two sat in silence for a moment and drank their coffee, then Joey changed the subject.
"So, while you spent the night at his apartment, did you two, you know?"
Yugi nearly spit out his coffee.
"Joey!"
"What?! It's a valid question. Especially after how you two used to be." Joey laughed.
Yugi blushed a deep red.
"That was then! We didn't do anything." Yugi protested, remembering what could have happened after the kitchen incident.
"He could never keep his hands off you, and you were just as bad with teasing him." Joey stated.
"Just wait until we go to the club…he won't be able to keep his hands off of me." Yugi smirked.
Joey laughed really loud, he remembered how he and Yugi would work together to tease Yami and Seto.
"You have your outfit picked out?" Joey asked.
"You still remember doing that?" Yugi laughed.
"I'll never forget. I still use that strategy sometimes. It still works."
"I wonder if it will work on Yami."
"Oh I don't think you'll have to do much to push him to the edge."
"I really can't believe we are talking about this. Just last week, you hated him with a burning passion."
"I still don't like what he's done, but I can tell he really loves you, Yug. And after you told me his side of the story, it kinda sat with me. Tea was always after him and she's always been a slut. He should have pushed her away, but she pushed herself on him too. The whole thing is fucked. But I've almost forgiven him, because he really is trying."
"Thanks Joey." Yugi smiled.

Yugi was busy getting ready to go out for New Years. Yami was going to pick him up, so he had plenty of time to get ready. Yugi loved how cautious Yami was being about pushing limits, but he was ready to see if Yami still had his lustful side.

Yugi slid on his dark red jeans with the black chains, they were tight, just what he wanted. He smirked, he couldn't wait to see the look on Yami's face. He slid on his black tank top and situated his wrist and arm cuffs, Lastly, he put on his new choker, which was crimson red with spikes, and his dog tags that Yami got him. He looked at himself in the mirror and smirked. "He's gonna love this." Yugi said to himself.

There was a knock at the door. "It's open, Yami!" Yugi yelled. He heard the door open and shut again. "Just give me a minute, I'm almost ready!" Yugi yelled. Yugi was ready, he just wanted to walk down the stairs and shock Yami.

Yami was bundled up in his coat, he couldn't wait for Yugi to see his outfit. Yami had on his tightest black jeans with a gold studded belt wrapped around his hips. He had on a black v-neck t-shirt that didn't quite cover his stomach completely. He had two gold studded wrist cuffs and decided to skip the choker, Yugi always did love to bite his neck. He wanted to tempt him. Yami heard Yugi's footsteps coming down the stairs and turned, when he saw Yugi, he froze.

"What?" Yugi smirked. "You look…really great." Yami said, trying to regain his composure. Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck and looked up at him. Yami wanted to pounce on him, Yugi looked hot, no, sexy. Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist and pulled him closer. "You're not playing fair, little one." He whispered. Yugi felt a chill run down his spine, Yami's voice always turned him on. "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about." Yugi said, sarcastically. Yami kissed him lightly, forcing himself not to ravage Yugi right there. "Get your coat, it's freezing." Yami said and let Yugi go.

/~***~\

They both arrived at the club and spotted their friends immediately. Joey ran and hugged Yugi tightly while Yami sat down next to Ryou and Malik. "Where's your other halves?" Yami smirked. "The bar, they decided to start drinking early." Malik rolled his eyes. "Carrying their drunk asses home is not going to be fun." Ryou groaned. Yami chuckled at that, some things never change.

Once Yami knew he had Yugi's attention again, he slid off his coat. Yugi was staring, well, he was gawking at Yami. "Looks like you two had the same plan." Joey snickered and walked over to Seto. Yami stretched so his stomach would show, he looked over to Yugi and winked at him. Yugi was blushing and tried to hide it in the dark of the club.

A round of drinks was brought to the table and everyone took one. Marik and Bakura came stumbling back to the table with drinks in hand. "How many drinks have you had?" Malik asked. "Just one!" Marik exclaimed. "Plus three." Bakura snickered. Everyone laughed and rolled their eyes. "Ryou, can we please dance?!" Bakura pleaded. "You know I get embarrassed out there." Ryou said. "Come on!" Bakura exclaimed. "No!" Ryou protested. "Don't worry Bakura, Yami was always embarrassed too." Yugi said. "He's just embarrassed because he can't dance!" Bakura chuckled. "Is that so? Come on Yugi!" Yami said and pulled Yugi to the dance floor with him. "Finally, I got them to touch each other." Bakura said. "What dastardly deed are you up to?" Marik asked. "I'm just pushing the process along for those two." Bakura snickered.

It was going to be a long night.
