    Yami no Yuugi in a side profile

    Ahaha, when I saw you bump the rating from T to M for this chapter I was already going „Oh?“ and then I read it and this was great!

    Lots of fun, all the way from their pact over Yugi washing Yami’s head and then to their little shopping event!

    And yes, Yami! We love it when you’re confident, do it more :D

      Nothing too steamy yet, but I wanted to change the rating just to be safe! ^^ Everything about this chapter was extremely fun to write - I loved having Yugi's dramatic reaction to Yami revealing what he agreed to, and then the flirtatious shopping trip-and no worries, Yami will definitely be gaining some confidence in the next chapter >;)

      Anyways, thank you so much for reading and commenting!! It's greatly appreciated <33

        Oh, I can totally imagine it was fun to write, that very much shone through to reading too!

        Something else though! It's a little thing but I wanted to appreciate it properly--

        "(that he waltzed in and made without asking permission or saying word—not even a greeting to his dearest cousin)"

        This characterization for Yugi. It's so spot on. Yugi honestly is the guy who just helps himself to your food, kitchen and whatever else he wants. He's gonna have your back in whatever situation but he also eats your food and borrows your clothes and your games without asking, cause you're just such great friends. Gets homely with people real quick :D

        But yeah, I loved everything about this chapter, but I just wanted to bring this one up, it was such a little thing but super appreciated!

          Ahh yes, I love Yugi's brief appearance *so* much! Since he doesn't appear for long, I wanted to make sure that the aspects of his character shined through and I'm really happy you noticed that small detail. Writing Yugi's character can be tough sometimes since he's portrayed as extremely shy, but really, I don't think he's as shy as many people think. ^^

          Yugi's a very supportive and amazing friend (or cousin, in Yami's situation), but he'll do what he wants if he's comfortable enough or tease his friends until they're flustered and he's dying of laughter.

          Thank you so much for bringing it up! I love including little details like that which can summarize and truly show how a strong of a relationship and bond Yugi and Yami (or any other characters) have with each other.
