King Of Games – Court Jester Of Pranks
Yugi's question is taken from lilmatchgirl007, her review of Chapter 28.
"I was wondering something," Yugi brought up.
"Hmm?" Yami asked drowsily from where he was dozing, head on Yugi's stomach. Post-coital cuddling was by far, if not the best part of sex, at least the second best part.
Yugi continued his absentminded action of carding his fingers through Yami's sweat-damp hair. "You're the King of Games, right?" he asked rhetorically.
Yami made a noise of assent.
"So…if this whole insult chain letter thing we have going is technically a game…does that mean you'd still win?" Yugi finally asked the question that had been on his mind for some time.
Yami froze, his normally impassive mask stricken by doubt and confusion. "Ano… I have no idea," he admitted at length.
"Marik, Malik and Bakura seem to be way ahead of the game," Yugi said cautiously. "They've hit more people than all the rest of us put together, almost."
Sighing, Yami said, "I know. They're much better at insulting people than I am."
"They like insulting people more than you do," Yugi corrected.
Yami groaned and rolled over to face his aibou. "And most of the insults are at my expense. I'm beginning to feel like some sort of clown on puppet strings for their amusement."
Yugi snorted at the mental image his lover's words had brought to mind. "So, my King of Games, does this make you the Court Jester of Pranks?" he asked without thinking.
Yami twitched, which was all the reaction Yugi needed to know that he was right.
