Yami loved and hated winter. On one hand, it was cold, cold, cold! On the other hand, he could use the cold excuse to cuddle with Yuugi. His hikari didn't mind. He took great pleasure in warming Yami up. They always slept together but on cold winter nights, Yuugi's emanating warmth kept them warm all through the night.

When Yuugi failed to come home, Yami felt an icy chill pass through him. Yami knew it was from Yuugi. Even Yuugi's warmth couldn't protect him from death's wintry fingers. Yami donned a jacket and raced outside to save his dying aibou.
