Yami fingered the ring in his pocket nervously, awaiting Yuugi's return. A year had passed since Yami refused to leave. Today would be perfect to propose to Yuugi. He was… afraid that Yuugi would leave him. It wasn't that he didn't trust Yuugi, just his innate fear of being alone. With the ring, he could lay claim to Yuugi, thereby forcing most of Yuugi's would-be suitors away.
"Yuugi…" Yami reached into his pocket again. "Will you promise yourself to me and only me forever?"
"You know I will."
Breathing a sight of relief, Yami slipped the ring onto Yuugi's finger.
