(A/N: At the moment I'm too shocked to say anything, so just enjoy and PLEASE read my note at the end :D Enjoy!)
Yugi smiled to himself as he watched TV. Today was his birthday, and Yami had promised to spend the entire day with him; after Sugoroku had given his approval, of course. The boy had his hands on his lap, waiting patiently for his boyfriend to get there. He almost jumped when he heard a knock on the door.
"I-I'll go, jii-chan!" The boy ran a hand through his hair in order to fix it and look presentable for his lover. Then he finally opened the door, and there was Yami, looking as best as Yugi had never seen him before.
"Happy birthday, little one," he said simply, kissing his little one's cheek, forming a blush there.
"D-Domo," thanked Yugi, inviting him in.
"Ah, Yami-san! Come in, okairi!" greeted Sugoroku, coming down the stairs. Yami bowed in gratefulness. "So, what were you planning to do today?"
"Well, mainly take a walk around town, have dinner, and then I'll bring your grandson back home, safe and sound," said Yami, wrapping an arm around his boyfriend's waist and pulling him closer. The boy giggled very, VERY cutely (as Yami thought) and leaned on his lover's arm.
"Just be careful, ne?" Both teenagers nodded, and after Yugi took a coat in case it was cold later, they left, but not before hearing his grandfather's "Happy birthday, my boy!"
Shōnen-Ai High School
Epilogue
The first thing they did was going to the arcade.
"What would you like to play first, little one?" asked the crimson-eyed.
"Erm, etto…" Yugi looked around, trying to find something of his interest. They suddenly heard a huge commotion going on around a DDR game.
"Ooh, the great Champion wins again!"
"There's no way he can be beaten!"
"Yush, yush!" There was a guy with long white hair, which was tied up in a ponytail that went down to his waist, holding his arms up in the air; next to him, on the floor, was a guy with some troubles in keeping his breath steady. "Now, who's the next defiant competitor that dares to challenge me?"
"I will!" Yami, along with everyone surrounding 'Champion,' stared nearly open-mouthed at Yugi as he slightly raised his hand.
"Yugi, what are you doing?" he muttered under his breath.
"Oh, it's time someone gives that champion a lesson," answered Yugi, smiling confidently. "And besides, it'll be fun!" Before his lover could do anything, the boy had already gone up the stage.
"Aw, just look at you!" mocked Champion. "Do you seriously think you have a chance against me, chibi-tan?"
"Let's see if your mouth's as quick as your feet." Champion frowned at hearing the "oohh's" that erupted from within the crowd. This kid would pay for making fun of him! "Can you follow my lead?" And another round of "oohh's" filled the DDR area. Yami smirked to himself; Yugi was giving this jerk a lesson without even beginning the real competition. When the game started, it was obvious to notice who the audience was admiring now.
"The newcomer's kicking Champ's ass!"
"I never thought he'd beat him!"
"Let's see just how much the kid scores before truly winning!"
The crimson-eyed, although he felt proud, was also feeling a slight sting of jealousy. It bothered him that these all of these persons were looking at his Yugi, but it made him happy that they supported him above this Champion guy.
And then the game was finished with Yugi scoring quite some hundreds of points more than his opponent. While Champion stayed down on his knees, panting for breath, the boy held his hands on his hips, letting out small gasps that mixed with his chuckles.
"We've got a new champ, minna-san!" cried a guy from within the audience. "Uh, what's your name?"
"Y-Yugi—Mutou Yugi," answered the amethyst-eyed when he could finally breathe again.
"Our new DDR champion, Mutou Yugi!"
A round of applause erupted between the crowd, but Yugi only had eyes for Yami, who was clapping and yelling in excitement at him. The boy smiled, earning a smile back from his boyfriend.
After playing some more games, including Yami's display of superiority at Air hockey, the couple left to have dinner in Yugi's favorite restaurant. Yami suddenly got excited, telling Yugi he had a surprise to show him, dragging him out of the restaurant as soon as they'd finished. While walking through town, Yami noticed that his boyfriend was wearing the alexandrite blue stone chain around his neck.
"You still have it," said the crimson-eyed, pointing to the stone resting on the boy's chest. Yugi blushed a cute flush of pink and nodded his head.
"I haven't taken it off since you gave it to me," he answered, gripping the necklace. But then, Yami put his eyes over Yugi's hands and told him to keep walking and to close his eyes, laughing a bit childishly as he did so. When he questioned his boyfriend as to why, he got no answer at all, so he just kept moving. "Can I open my eyes now?" he asked after some minutes of silence and darkness.
"Yush," said Yami, slowly coming to a halt. "Open them…" he slowly removed his hands, "now." Yugi did as he was told and tried unsuccessfully to hold back a gasp.
They were before the Shōnen-Ai High School's main gate—in front of him, hanging from the doors, was a giant collage of sketches of some of their moments together: the day they'd met, their first kiss, the play, the party, the day they were officially a couple, and their reunion at the airport, along with more. His persistence and hard work had definitely not been in vain.
"Y-Y-You…" stammered Yugi, tears running down his cheeks.
"Happy birthday, Yugi," interrupted Yami, kissing Yugi's tears away. "I had to finish the draft first, and then I just made it all bigger."
"You did this… for me?" the boy questioned in disbelief. Yami turned his boyfriend around so that they'd be face to face.
"Little one," he said, his hands on the boy's back, pulling him close. "It's always been for you." He softly caressed the boy's cheek. "I love you."
"I love you, Yami-kun." And right then, they both leaned in and closed the gap between their mouths.
That kiss, that simple yet loving kiss, was the only thing they needed to complete their love story.
