The other him hadn't retreated into the Puzzle tonight; instead, he was sitting on the bed when Yuugi came back.

"Would you mind if I stayed, partner?"

"No, of course not." Yuugi smiled, and he hurriedly stowed his pajamas in the duffel bag under the bed before joining his other self on it.

It was dark and quiet here, and the blimp flew so smoothly that he could hardly tell they were moving. The bed was large enough for both of them to sit side by side, and Yuugi slipped the Puzzle off his neck before leaning contentedly against the padded headboard. He wrapped the chain around one of his wrists.

"Isn't it uncomfortable to sleep with it that way?" The other him asked.

Yuugi shrugged. "I want it to be safe." He cupped the Puzzle in his hands, absently rubbing slow circles across the surface with his thumbs.

The other him's breath caught sharply. "Oh."

Yuugi blinked. That gasp sounded almost like…

"Other me?" Yuugi squeezed the Puzzle nervously, and his other self shuddered.

"That…" He panted. "That is…very pleasant."

"Oh." Yuugi glanced down at the pyramid he held. "You can feel that?"

The other him nodded.

The him had never reacted that way before, but then Yuugi had never really touched the Puzzle this way. He usually played with the chain when he was nervous. Normally he was more careful — the Puzzle did have his other self's precious soul…

Hesitantly, he stroked one of the Puzzle's edges, watching the spirit's reaction carefully. It wasn't much, just a twitch, but it was enough.

"I can stop." He said.

"Don't." The other said raggedly. He was hard, Yuugi realized when he allowed his gaze to drift.

"O-Okay." Glad that the darkness hid his blush, Yuugi brought the Puzzle up to his face and kissed the eye carved into the front — softly at first, and then parted his lips and left his tongue trace the engraving and —

"Yuugi." The other him moaned.

He could feel himself swelling between his thighs. There was probably something wrong about this, but he could hear his other self panting. He could see translucent hands clutching at the covers and shoulder trembling with pleasure. It was terribly and magnetically erotic, and nothing, he thought, nothing could be wrong if it made the other him that aroused.

He turned the Puzzle over. He was holding onto it so hard that his hands hurt. Yuugi took the bottom corner into his mouth, sucking on it, pushing as much of the Puzzle as he could into his mouth. The edges bit into the sides of his mouth, and he didn't care; the gold was warm under his touch and he could feel without looking how close his other self was, how good it felt, how hot and wet and hard and —

The other him's orgasm dragged him over the edge, and Yuugi whimpered around the Puzzle still in his mouth as he came.

They sat in the dark for a long moment, the only sound that of their breathing.

"That was nice." Yuugi whispered. He felt pleasantly exhausted; even the wetness cooling on his thighs couldn't motivate him to move.

"Yes." The other him sighed. "It was."

Yuugi wiped the Puzzle off on his shirt, and then curled up on his side. He held the Puzzle against his chest, ignoring the hard edges; beside him, he watched the other him relax.

He slept easily that night.
