WHOA. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry. This was two days late! That won't affect the next update date though, so instead of a four day wait, you'll get two.

Merry belated Christmas! Sorry, I would've had it up on Christmas Day, but I was really busy on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. This is the one drabble that defies the word cap, as a present for you guys. You're all so awesome! ^^ (#16 is longer, but I need to condense it... ^^")

Puzzleshipping, post-canon, and Yami stays. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, Kazuki Takahashi does. Enjoy! ^^

#14 - Get Out

Words - 648

"Get out. Getoutgetoutgetoutgetourgetout!"

"Why?!"

"Because, I said so!"

"But it's CHRISTMAS!"

"EXACTLY. You can't be in here! GET OUT, YAMI!"

Yami left the room with a surrendering sigh. Finally, Yuugi could actually concentrate. He jumped as he heard the front door open and then close, and rolled his eyes and picked up his phone to send the other a text.

'I meant get out of the room, silly. Come back inside, Mou Hitori No Boku.'

Hopefully, his silly pharaoh wouldn't be too depressed to check his phone; he'd overreacted many times before. It had taken weeks to convince Yami that the TV wouldn't steal their souls if they decided to watch a movie.

Yuugi would give him a moment to answer. Meanwhile... The reason he kicked Yami out.

Yuugi was wrapping everybody's presents; it was Christmas day and he was only just wrapping the gifts, thanks to Yami distracting him all the time. They were going to give the presents out to their friends in a few minutes, hopefully. Right now though, Yuugi didn't want his boyfriend to see his gift, which he'd give him once they'd visited everyone else.

It was an almost perfect duplicate of the millennium puzzle; it had been destroyed when the tomb collapsed after the ceremonial duel. Only he was able to keep his Yami, and he would be forever grateful to the gods for that. Despite no longer housing Yami's soul, the puzzle was an important relic to both of them. Yuugi was relieved for all the money he'd received in dueling tournaments; he was able to afford to get somebody to attempt to replicate the puzzle, following his directions. Not every single piece was perfect, and he hadn't enough money to have it made from solid gold like the original, of course. However, he'd been able to have it gold-plated, and that was good enough for him, he just hoped Yami would like it.

He finally finished the wrapping and set it aside to marvel at his handiwork. He had sealed it in a small cardboard box that fit it perfectly before wrapping so that the edges wouldn't poke and tear the paper, and so the contents wouldn't be too obvious. Yami would never expect his gift!

...Speaking of Yami, there had been no sound of the door reopening, nor the buzzing of his phone signifying any calls or texts. It seemed Yami really had been too depressed to check his phone.

'He can't have gotten far...' Yuugi muttered. Unfortunately, due to the loss of the puzzle, they no longer had the mind-link, so he'd have to search himself. He grabbed his jacket and opened the door. 'Think Yuugi, think... Where would he have gone?'

He took off running, thinking of places his boyfriend could have ran off to. Luckily, he didn't need to, as he found him stood by the street corner.

"Yami, come on, come back inside. I meant get out of the room."

"...Oh."

Yami really overreacted sometimes.

"Here; I saved yours until last."

Yuugi handed over the gift with a smile. Yami tore off the paper and frowned.

"A... Box?"

"Open it, silly!" A giggle.

Yami's eyes widened as he found the puzzle inside it. "W-wow... It's beautiful, Aibou!"

"I knew you'd like it!"

"Umm... There's only one problem."

"Huh?"

Yami handed over a clumsily wrapped, triangular shaped package, the corners poking through the paper.

Yuugi already had an idea of what to expect, and couldn't help but giggle when he saw that Yami had gotten him the exact same thing.

"This explains why we had a lot less money than I remember!"

"You're not... Mad? Or saddened? But I bought you the same gift!" Yami protested, as if wanting to be scolded.

"But now we have a puzzle each," Yuugi said with a warm smile. "And the puzzle is important to us both, so how could I get mad?"

"You have a way with words..." He nuzzled the other's cheek with a blissful smile. "I love you, Aibou."

"I love you too, Mou Hitori No Boku. Merry Christmas."

So... Here ya go. Sorry for, and I quote samaurai here, 'throwing you off a cliff' last chapter. I wanted you guys to have some lighthearted christmassey fluff this time to make up for it ^.^

Oh, and a few people were confused as to what happened at the ending of that one. Yami had never stayed, just like in canon, and Yuugi's dream was just a fantasy of what would happen if he'd stayed.

Back to morbid next chapter, sadly. See ya in two days!
