Me: So, please enjoy this story, guys!

Chapter One: What a Gesture Means

They had no problems with kissing each other. It was something Yami had learned meant a lot in the modern culture. It was a way to seal a promise, to prove love, and to prove many other things that couldn't be said with words. It was a way to prove how much you needed someone, how much you loved them, without getting words mixed up and saying what you didn't mean.

But Yami had also learned that gestures in the modern world meant a lot as well.

Holding Hands = "We definitely love each other"

Yami's hand tightened around Yugi's as they went walking through the park.

It was late in Fall, and the leaves had already turned colors. Mixtures of red, brown, gold, and some green filled the trees. It was a lovely sight to behold, and it was worth it to have to walk around in the cold.

Yami and Yugi ignored the strange glances that they got from some people. Most people were very accepting of their kind of relationship, but there were still some homophobic people in Domino that would cast them crept out looks as they walked by. These types of people would also sometimes mutter a crude phrase about the two boys.

Whenever someone gave them that strange look, they would just hold hands tighter and flash them a big run-o'-the-mill grin. The people would sometimes sneer back, but some of them, who were kinder, would nervously wave back.

Yami and Yugi would giggle and continue walking, hand in hand with each other. They were never worried about their relationship, or what anyone thought of them.

Slap on the Butt = "That's mine"

Yami narrowed his eyes slightly.

He and Yugi were at a dance party that a night club was throwing, and Yami had been noticing that some of the boys were ogling his hikari. He could see why, to be honest.

Yugi, and the other hikaris, were dancing around the dance floor with the other party goers. The three of them were amazing to watch. Such shy boys were such good dancers, maybe even better than Anzu was! They were break-dancing, dirty dancing, and doing anything that they could. It just felt good to get up and dance.

Yami heard Bakura chuckle from the seat next to him. "Getting jealous, Pharaoh?"

"Shut up, Baka Tomb Robber!" he spat. "I'd be more worried about Ryou, if I were you! Some of these guys are eye-raping him, you know?" Yami pointed to some of the men that were checking out the three hikaris.

Bakura seemed to grow serious. "Believe me, if anyone tries a move on Ryou, they're right in the Shadow Realm. I don't have to worry. Ryou would never betray me. These people will soon learn that," he said.

Yami nodded and looked back. Yugi was dancing towards him, probably without even noticing. Yami narrowed his eyes at the boys that were staring at his aibou like he was a piece of eye candy.

Yami reached his hand forward and slapped his hikari on the butt the moment Yugi came right by him. Yugi squeaked slightly and turned around fast, a blush on his face. "Y-Yami, what'd you do that for?" he asked.

Yami smiled and flashed Yugi the peace sign. "Nothin', Aibou. I love you," he said.

Yugi smiled and placed a quick kiss on Yami's forehead. "Don't worry. If anyone tries to take me from you, just blast them into the Shadow Realm! If Ryou can allow it, then so can I!" he grinned ear to ear before rushing back to the dance floor.

Yami smiled to himself and turned back to his drink.

The simple action he had done had proven to everyone in the night club that Yugi was his. He started to notice that no one was ogling the hikaris any more, probably because of the glares that he, Bakura, and Marik were giving them. And, Yami's action had added to his aibou's protection.

Holding on tight = "I don't want to let go"

Yami just held Yugi for as long as he could.

It was so strange, being this desperate for an embrace from the young star-haired boy. When had he become this weak? Yami shook his head. He wasn't weak. Love was not a weakness.

Yugi's arms slowly wrapped around his slender waist. He knew how worried Yami had been. When had had been taken. Yugi closed his eyes and smiled gently, snuggling up against his yami.

Yugi's voice whispered his yami's name. Yami whispered the youth's name back, but nothing more than that. They just held each other as close as they could, knowing that they never wanted to let go.

Looking into Each Other's Eyes = "I just plain love you"

There was silence. Yami nor Yugi needed to say anything. They just sat in bed, looking deeply into each other's eyes. There was no need to speak or do anything. They just sat, held one another at half arms length, and stared. The love that they felt for each other was said through their expressions, both lost in each other's eyes for what felt like an eternity.

Playing with Hair = "Tell me you love me"

Yami ran his fingers through Yugi's hair, floating in the air. He was in his spirit form, just to be able to float. He had one arm wrapped around his aibou's shoulders, his other hand fingering his hikari's tri-colored hair.

"Yami, what are you doing?" Yugi asked. He closed his book and turned to see the transparent young man.

Yami grinned. "Nothing," he sang.

"I love you," Yugi chuckled. Yami grinned and kissed his hikari on the cheek before floating to the bed and becoming solid. He laid down and curled up, a wide grin on his lips. That was all he had wanted to hear.

Arms Around the Waist = "I love you too much to let go"

The star-haired Pharaoh laced his arms around his hikari's waist. Yugi had been just sitting by the windowsill while it was raining, thunder and lightning crackling off in the darkness.

Yugi turned towards Yami and smiled gently. He wrapped his arms around his yami's waist and held him as close as he could. They just sat in silence as the storm crackled overhead.

Laughing while Kissing = "I am completely comfortable with you"

Yugi sighed and drew away from the kiss he and Yami had been sharing. Yami covered his mouth to conceal his soft giggles, but it wasn't working as well as he had hoped.

Yami had broken out into a fit of giggles whenever they had tried to kiss for the past half hour. Yugi didn't mind, but it was getting a bit annoying. He was trying to enjoy a nice, romantic kiss with the man he loved, and yet Yami couldn't stop laughing each time that they tried to. Yugi folded his arms across his chest.

"And what is so funny, Yami?" he asked.

Yami wiped tears from his eyes and laughed once. "N-nothing, Aibou," he said. "I just feel so comfortable around you. Most people would get angry if you laughed while kissing them, but I love you so much, that I know I can laugh. I'm laughing because I feel totally at ease around you, my darling Aibou."

Yugi smiled and wrapped his arms around Yami. "Then, care to try again?" he asked.

Yami smiled back and pressed his lips against that of his aibou's, not worried that he would be making Yugi angry if he started laughing halfway through their kiss.

Picking Someone up off their Feet = "That they love them fully and would do anything for them"

Yugi felt totally at ease whenever Yami picked him up.

Yami would sometimes just randomly walk up to him, scoop him up in his arms, and just hold him close. Yugi would ask what the occasion was, and Yami would smile and say: "The occasion is that I love you", and then give Yugi a kiss, put him down, and return to whatever he had been doing before he decided that he needed to pick up his aibou.

Yugi knew that Yami loved him, and would do anything for him. Yami only did that do him. Yugi had never seen Yami sweep anyone else off their feet, and it made him feel special.

Whenever it would happen, Yugi would giggle and hold Yami close. Sometimes, this action would lead them to find themselves in the bedroom, where Yugi would be really sore the next morning, but in his eyes, it was worth it.

Me: Yami is such a romantic! And I definitely think that Kazuki Takahashi was implying their relationship! Yami and Yugi are so obviously in love with each other! I mean, did you see the way Yami held Yugi in episode "163" AKA: "Self Destruct".

Lucy: Yeah! They are so obviously in love with each other! You don't hold someone like that unless you like them! And they obviously have no issues invading each others personal space!

Me: True that! Now, please review and we shall update! We also take requests!
