Millennium: Ok, so the last chapter took WAY too long, sorry about that.
Love: Ugh, just get on with it. I think this story is almost over really.
Millennium: Yeah. Probably only gonna be this chapter.
Yugi/Yami: As usual, if Millennium owned Yugioh, there would be more love involved, and less card-fighting. The game is cool, but come on.
Millennium: Agreed! And on with it! Oh! And Happy Birthday, Yugi! This is for you!
6 months later, everyone was gathered for Yugi's birthday party. Yugi was officially 20. And it was summer again! Ryou and Bakura were happily dating, since they were so much alike. Bakura had attempted to make friends with the rest of the gang, with some success. Yami was still understandably uncomfortable around him at times, but everyone else seemed to think he had turned into a pretty great guy. He was considerably less murderous and crazy than when Zorc had been combined with him. Although, once a thief, always a thief, so everyone was careful with their valuables around him. He had made off with their things before. Although, usually, Ryou noticed and made him return the items. Ryou only allowed him to steal from strangers, and only enough to get by. He knew he couldn't stop his Yami, but he was damn sure going to limit the amount of stolen items that appeared in HIS house. Yami and Yugi couldn't have been happier together, and had moved out into their own apartment close to the Kame Game Shop. Yugi still helped Grandpa run it, and would likely take over when Solomon could no longer do it. He was sure Yami would quit his job at KaibaCorp when that happened. Yami was currently working in the testing department as Kaiba's main beta tester of new Duel Disks, and occasionally Yugi would beta test too. Malik, Marik, Ishizu, and Odion had flown out just to join the celebration.
After cake (everyone loves cake), which Joey had WAY too much of, Yugi got to open all his presents. Bakura and Ryou had gotten him some new Duel Monsters cards, since he still played. \Not sure if I want to ask how Bakura got these, Mou Hitori No Boku.\/I agree, Aibou./ Seto gave him the newest Duel Disk, and it hadn't even been released yet! Joey got him a great album to put pictures in for the upcoming trip to Egypt. Yugi and Yami had decided they wanted to check out the tombs and such again. Mokuba and Serenity got him a great new camera to take pictures with (way better than any smart phone – it's the Kaibas, alright?). The Ishtars were taking them back to Egypt when they returned, but had brought him a cartouche with his name and Yami's engraved on it in hieroglyphs. Tea had sent a card with an apology for everything, though Yugi had only glanced at it. He was over the pain, but wasn't really sure what he wanted to make of the card just yet. Duke had brought him a full Dungeon Dice Monsters set, since Yugi and Yami loved the game, almost as well as Duel Monsters. Yugi had already gotten his gift from his mom and grandpa, a car! Suddenly, the room went quiet.
"Aibou, I've been thinking. You make me happier than anyone else ever could. You are my light, my Hikari. I have just one question for you." Dropping to one knee (OMR!), Yami pulled out a little box. "Yugi, my beloved, would you do me the honor of being mine forever?" Yugi's jaw dropped. He had no idea this was Yami's surprise for him! "Of course, Yami!" Yugi squealed as he planted the biggest kiss any of them had ever seen on Yami's lips. He lunged at Yami so hard, they both tumbled onto the floor. Laughing, they both got up. Yugi took the ring out of the box and put it on. It wasn't huge, but it was perfect for him. About 1/3 carat in the teardrop shaped cut (can never remember the real name of it), Yugi couldn't help but love it. He was definitely looking forward to tonight.
Millennium: So, yeah. You can imagine the night Yami got out of that. That's the end of this one. For Goshikku Hime wa Yami-san, I'm writing the Tendershipping companion next. I was planning on writing a story for each pair in this storyline, then one big sequel to it that just ties them all together. That one will probably have OCs for children. Working on that one. Oh yeah, I did not realize when I wrote this one TODAY that it was Yugi's birthday until later. I am horrible with dates. I'm lucky to know the day of the week.
Love: Yeah, well, it worked out kinda well, really. A birthday party storyline for the last chapter on Yugi's birthday.
Yugi: I liked it. *Huge grin*
Millennium: Sorta fluffy ending, but yeah. And Yugi's engagement ring is totally mine. Lol. I described my ring.
