Liking, Loving, Lusting


Japanese

Aishiteru – A very intense and romantic, continuing form of 'I love you.' In some instances, akin to a marriage proposal.
Suki da yo – (Literally) I like you best.


"'I'm good enough, I'm smart enough…but damnit! I'm just too short for people to like me.'"

Yugi stared down at the T-shirt in his hands, incensed. "I…I… Argh!" he growled, ripping the T-shirt to shreds. He stood there in a rage over the tattered remains of the insult. No one sane would have dared to approach.

Which explains my Yami did.

"I like you, aibou," Yami assured his enraged lover. "Suki da yo." He nuzzled the other's tri-colored spiked hair. "And aishiteru."

Yugi's anger drained out of him at those whispered words. "You always know the right thing to say, Yami," he said, laughing softly.

"Well, then, how about this: let's get someone else," Yami suggested.

Yugi nodded, a sheepish smile coming over his face as he realized how he'd blown the whole situation out of proportion. "Sounds good."

Calming smile turning to a smirk, Yami said, "After we work off a little of your…frustration." He wiggles his brows comically.

Yugi returned the smirk, eyes dancing with passion. "With pleasure."
