Tired but contented, Yugi crawled into bed, a smile all but permanently etched on his face.
After their picnic, the two of them had strolled hand in hand beneath the cherry trees, the crowd swirling around them. Yugi safe at Yami's side, they had exchanged shy glances and fleeting, luminous smiles. They had talked of everything and nothing, or simply let the comfortable silence stretch between them, happy in each other's company. Before leaving the park, they had made a wish at the wishing well...
Yugi's smile grew dreamy as he remembered. His dearest wish had come true the moment Yami had taken his hand, there under the spreading canopy of cherry blossoms. He curled on his side, warm and drowsy, hugging his happiness to himself.
For months he had kept his feelings close, hidden beneath a fragile façade of normalcy. Inherent shyness, and a deep-seated conviction his love was doomed to languish unrequited, had kept him from all but the most subtle displays of his affection. But, somehow, Yami had seen, had known what lurked in his partner's truest heart…
Yugi felt the gentle brush of Yami's thoughts, golden as the setting sun.
Sweet dreams, partner.
And they were.
