Title: Double Identity

Prompt: Palette

AU: Yugo - Yuna AU (An AU where Yugo loses a bet and has to go to a party dressed as a girl, however, with his fake gender, Yugo and Yuri end up falling for each other.) 

Summary: After getting to know each other well during a party, Yuri invites Yuna out on a date, however, Yuri doesn’t realize that he actually invited Yugo in a wig.

Shippings: Pawnshipping (Yugo x Yuri)

Yugo swore he would never do it again. It was a one time thing. The results of a bet he made with Rin. An inside joke that only they would know about.

So why was he in the cosmetics aisle, trying to decide between two different makeup palettes like some over anxious teenage girl getting ready for a date?

Because that's exactly what he was doing.

Yugo bites his lip, now wishing that Rin was here. She knew more about makeup than him. She was the one who had done his makeup in the first place.

“Well, well, I didn’t know the store changed its animal policy.” A smooth voice said that made Yugo’s heart stop. 

“Great Obelisk, no." Yugo thought to himself as he slowly turned around. Standing behind him, a shopping basket tuck under his arm, was Yuri. 

"Good evening, Pogo. Have you lost your master?” Yugo gritted his teeth. He really didn’t need this right now. 

“I’m not a dog, you moron!” He snaps. He hurriedly tosses one of the palettes into his cart, however, Yuri saw it.

“And what’s this now? Buying makeup?" 

"N-not for me! For Rin!” Yuri smirks. 

“I never implied it was for you. Why so defensive?” Yugo’s face grew hot. 

“B-because….shut up!” Yugo then turned and practically ran off all the meanwhile Yuri is chuckling.

“Good talk, Pogo!”

How he actually manage to get a date with that asshole without him realizing that it was actually him under the wig Yugo would never understand.

Why he was even going through with it was another matter entirely.

Title: A Promise

Prompt: Jewelry

AU: Pawn Marriage AU (An AU where Yuri proposes to Yugo.)

Summary: Yuri and Celina shop for a gift for Yuri’s boyfriend.

Shippings: Pawnshipping (Yugo x Yuri)

“I honestly can’t believe you two are still together after he said no." 

"Just because he said no to my proposal doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me, Celina.” Yuri said to his sister, his eyes drifting to different items in the display case. “He’s just not ready for marriage." 

"But why?”

“He’s afraid of it."  

"Afraid?”

“Celina, he’s been married three times before. His first wife died in a car accident and his second wife cheated on him.”

“What about his third wife?” Yuri shrugs.

“Husband, actually, and no one knows. He just up and left him without any explanation." 

"That’s terrible." 

"This is why I have to be patient with him. Married or not, I still love him. And although it is a shame he said no, I don’t love him any less because of it.” Celina stared at her brother for a moment before smiling and shaking her head.

“He really isn’t just a toy to you, is he?” Yuri pauses for a moment.

“He never was. Yugo’s different.” Suddenly, Celina grabbed his shoulder and steered him away from necklaces he had been looking at. 

“Well, since you’re actually serious about this guy, I know just the thing.” Celina took Yuri to a different part of the jewelry store, to a large glass display full of rings.

“Celina, I already told you. Yugo-”

“These aren’t engagement rings, dummy. These are promise rings.” Yuri raised an eyebrow.

“Promise rings?”

“Unlike engagement rings, a promise ring is upholding a promise of some kind. It doesn’t even have to be a promise of marriage if Yugo is still too uncomfortable for that. It could just simply be a promise of love.” Yuri looked back down at the display and smiles.

“Dear sister, this may have been the only good idea you’ve ever had." 

"I get them every once and in a while.”

Title: Slice Of Pawn

Prompt: Slice Of Life

AU: Pawns In Synchro AU (An AU where Yuri lives in the Synchro Dimension with Yugo.)

Summary: Yugo comes home late from work. 

Shippings: Pawnshipping (Yugo x Yuri)

“Alright, Yugo! You ready to head out?” Crow asked, poking his head into the garage where he found his coworker already packing up to go. Yugo nods with a yawn. 

“W-what time is it?" 

"Uhh…about 2 in the morning. You were working on that bike for hours.” Yugo rubbed his eyes sleepily. 

“…Had to finish it. Waited…too long." 

"I told you you would regret putting it off for so long.” Crow sighed, shaking his head. “Come on, buddy.” Crow patted his shoulder. “Let’s get you home.”

“Thanks Crow.” Yugo mumbles as he gets out of the car.

“No problem, Yugo. See ya tomorrow! Well…it technically is tomorrow so uhh…..see ya in a few hours!” Crow then drove off, leaving Yugo to walk up the pathway to his house alone. All along the porch was decorated with perfectly kept flowers of all different colors and sizes. If Yugo wasn’t so sleepy he would had stop to admire his boyfriend’s handiwork, but today he was just too tired to give it a second glance. 

Before he could even get his house key out the front door was already opening to reveal Yuri standing inside. Yugo was a bit confused on why he wasn’t asleep by now. He wasn’t even in his pajamas.

“Took you long enough.” Yuri muttered as Yugo walked in.  

“Y-Yuri, what are you-?”

“Couldn’t sleep, not that you seem to care.” Yuri shuts the door and locked it. “Honestly, I don’t know why you do this every week.” As Yugo was stumbling past their kitchen he caught the scent of food and immediately his stomach rumbles reminding him that his lunch break had been more than a few hours ago. “Oh, yes. While you and Crow were busy toying around in your little workshop I decided to make dinner.”

Yuri then usher Yugo into the kitchen and sat him at the table where a few seconds later a bowl and spoon were placed in front of him. It was soup, still warm too.

“Crow texted me before he dropped you off.” Yuri answer Yugo’s unvoiced question. “Knowing how you both work, I’m sure you haven’t eaten anything so you better eat all of it. I didn’t slave over a hot stove for nothing.” And with that Yuri exited the kitchen.

Taking the spoon Yugo downed the soup in less than five minutes, but it was delicious. With his stomach contently full Yugo placed his dishes in the sink before heading upstairs for some well needed rest. When he got to the bedroom he notice that Yuri wasn’t inside. 

A bit confused Yugo took off his boots and sets them to the side. He was about to go to the dresser when a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

“Oh no you don’t.” Yuri growled. “You are not getting into bed smelling like that.”

“Yuri, seriously…” Yugo whined.

“No way. You smell like you crawled out of a garbage dump. Bath. Now.” Knowing that there was no way around it and he was too tired to argue with Yuri anyway, Yugo went to the bathroom down the hall from their room. To his surprise, the light was already on in the bathroom. When he walked in his clothes had already been placed as well as a few towels, and the bathtub was already filled with hot water. “Hurry up and get in before it gets cold.” Yuri said from behind him. 

“T-thanks.” Yugo mumbles as he begins to undress. It was only until Yugo was completely undress did he realize that Yuri was also getting undress. “Uhh…Yuri?”

“Hmm?”

“W-what are you doing?”

“What does it look like? Taking a bath.” Yuri snorted, holding back a laugh. “What? Did you actually think I was going to wait for you to finish before I could take mine? Besides, you would probably accidentally drown yourself if I wasn’t here. Now come.” Yuri beckon Yugo to the tub. Again, too tired to object or complain, Yugo followed. 

Thankfully the square tub was large enough to fit both of them. As Yugo sat in the warm water, he relax for a brief moment allowing the water to wash away all the dirt and grim from today.

“What are you doing all the way over there?” Yugo looked over at his boyfriend, confused. He looked mildly insulted, like Yugo had just called him stupid.

“W-what?” Yuri held out his hand.

“Come here. Let me wash you.” Yugo tilted his head to side, not entire sure if he had heard Yuri right. This cause Yuri to roll his eyes before grabbing his arm and pulling him to his side of the tub. “It’s not like we haven’t bathe before." 

This was true. Taking showers together was something they had just started a few weeks ago. At first it was a bit awkward but eventually they both got used to it, however, they never washed each other before. They usually kept to their own space and did their own thing. This was entirely new. But Yugo trusted Yuri. 

If he felt uncomfortable with anything, he just had to say the word and Yuri would stop. 

Yuri situated himself so that his stomach was just against Yugo’s back. He began to wash his hair, gently pouring warm water over his form. Once his hair was fully wet, Yuri took some shampoo and began to lather it into his hair. As Yuri’s nimble fingers message his scalp Yugo began to be lull by the motions. He didn’t help that Yuri was also humming a soft tune.

Everything in that moment just felt so right and perfect. He probably could fall asleep here if given the chance. 

"Close your eyes.” Yuri instructed before pouring water over his hair repeatedly until the shampoo was all washed out. 

“If you keep pampering me like this I’m probably going to fall sleep right here.” Yugo yawned as Yuri picked up a bar of soup and a rag. He smirked and lean down, placing a soft kiss on Yugo’s neck.

“Maybe that’s the idea…” He murmur before rubbing the soapy rag along the same spot. It was practically impossible for Yugo to keep his eyes open now as his boyfriend continue to pepper his body in soft kisses followed by gentle rubs of the rag.

Suddenly Yugo jerked up as a sharp pain in his left shoulder made him jump. He look back to see Yuri smirking at him like he had done nothing wrong.

“Y-Yuri! What the hell?!”

“What?”

“Why did you bite me?! That hurt!” Yuri stood up from the water and stepped out

“It’s not my fault you fell asleep.” Yugo blinked. Had he? The water he was sitting in was starting to feel cold. Did he blank out for a few minutes? “Well? Are you going to sit there all night?” Yuri asks, already dressed. Yugo stood up and stepped out of the tub. Yuri took a dry towel and wrap it around him. “Get dressed and come to bed when you’re done.” Yuri kiss the spot where he had bit before leaving. Already Yugo missed his touch.

He quickly got dressed in his pajamas before draining the tub. With that done he headed back to bedroom where Yuri was already curled up under this sheets. In his sleepy haze, Yugo shuts off the lights and joins him in bed. Before laying down completely Yugo leaned over and pressed a warm kiss to Yuri’s lips.

“Love you.” Yugo murmur.

“Love you too, Pogo. Now get some sleep.” Yuri yawned. Smiling, Yugo wrapped am arm around Yuri’s waist, pulling him closer so that he could nuzzle into his neck. Tomorrow he definitely needed to do something extra nice for Yuri, but for now, it was definitely time for sleep.

Main Shippings:

Pawnshipping (Yugo x Yuri) [Named so because Yugo doesn’t want to be known as a ‘pawn of fusion’ and Yuri is part of the Fusion Dimension.]

Minor Shippings:

[OC] Interruptshipping (Clear Wing Synchro Dragon x Starving Venom Fusion Dragon) [Named as such because Starving Venom and Clear Wing’s first duel was 'interrupted’ by Zuzu’s bracelet and their second duel was 'interrupted’ by Aster and Kite.]

It was late one night in Academia. After another day of hunting down Xyz rebellious scum most of the students were tired and were all fast asleep. All except one, who couldn’t seem to clear his head.

Yuri awoke that night from an uneventful sleep. It wasn’t uncommon for Yuri to wake up in the middle of the night but as he rolled over to go back to sleep he realized that the room was quiet.

Too quiet.

Yuri sat up and looked around but the room was dark and empty. The quiet part was odd since Yuri’s roommate snored like a cow. Yuri looked over at his partner’s side of the room to see that his blankets that were on his bed was pushed to the side and was vacant. Yuri lets out a sigh and stood up, pulling on his boots in the process.

His partner has been doing this nearly every night for the past month. Now Yuri really wouldn’t look too much into this. After all, what his partner did late at night wasn’t his business, but at this point in time Yuri really couldn’t afford to have his partner’s dueling skills lacking because of a loss of sleep.

The hallways were long, dark, and ominous. Yuri kept on walking with purposeful strides, his purple duel disk clutched in one hand till he reached the front doors. He pushed them open and looked around. The sky was dark, saved for the lights of the stars and the moon.

When Yuri immediately didn’t spy his partner he pulled out his deck and took out his ace monster’s card. A card with a purple border. A Fusion monster.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon.

“Hey, wake up.” Yuri spoke softly. It didn’t take much to rouse Starving Venom from his slumber. Yuri waited a few seconds and he soon felt the familiar sensation of Venom’s shadow wrapping around him. “He’s gone again. Can you find him?”

His dragon grunted in acknowledgement and Yuri watches as his dragon’s shadow disappeared from his own and slipped into the night. Yuri decided not to wait and followed after his dragon, wanting to get back to his warm bed as soon as possible. As he walked he hugged himself to keep the chill away. His purple pajamas were thin and the air was chilly.

Academia was a large school, but the school and dorms didn’t take up much room on the island they were on. Maybe about 20%. The rest was dense forest and woods, beaches with boating docks, and even an active volcano that no student was allowed near.

Of course, Starving Venom had no trouble tracking down his roommate, returning to Yuri’s side only after Yuri had taken just a couple of steps into the dark forest.

“You found him?” Yuri question. The Dragon-Type hissed and slipped away again. Yuri followed, picking his way carefully through the woods till he ended up at the boating docks.

“Of course.” Yuri thought, annoyed. “He would be at the docks. Because he couldn’t pick an area closer to the dorm rooms.” As he approached, Starving Venom waited patiently at the start of the docks. Yuri could see his partner more clearly.

A boy his age, with dual colored hair, yellow bangs swept to the right and blue in the back. He was still dressed in his white and red pajamas, but had on his black boots. He was sitting at the edge of the docks, his head tilted up at the sky.

Yuri didn’t have to say anything to make his presence known. He already knew he was there.

“Yuri? What are you doing up?” He asked without turning around. Yuri didn’t answer until he was standing right beside him.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Yuri counter. His partner finally looked up at him. His roommate’s eyes were an aqua blue color. It sort of reminded Yuri of the morning sky.

“Couldn’t sleep.” He answered. Yuri glance to his left where he could make out the soothing presence of Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. A card with a white border. A Synchro monster.

Starving Venom curled up beside Clear Wing, in which Clear Wing began purring softly. Being together since their two Duel Masters were kids, of course the two ace monsters would be comfortable with each other.

“Every night? That’s some insomnia you got.” He only mumbles in agreement before looking back up at the stars. Yuri waits for him to provide more insight but he doesn’t.

Because nothing was ever simple with him.

Yuri is silent until he notices that his partner was playing with something in his hand. A card, in fact. Clear Wing’s card to be exact. And that’s when everything fell into place.

And Yuri couldn’t help but face palm.

“You have got to be kidding me, Yugo.”

“Eh?”

“This is what’s keeping you up at night?” Even in the darkness Yuri could see Yugo’s cheek flush red in embarrassment at getting caught as he quickly hid away the card.

“What?! I-uhh…” Yuri lets out a long sigh.

“Are you really that ashame of your dragon?”

“O-of course not! Clear Wing is awesome! I just-” The words die at Yugo’s throat as Clear Wing lets out a whine of understanding. “The sis-”

“The Taylor Sisters?! Them?!” Yuri shook his head in disapproval as Yugo bites his lip. “Oh Yugo, those two are so beneath you. Their words mean nothing.”

“I-I know…but…”

“But nothing, Yugo.I could wipe the floor with them. You could wipe the floor with them. And if we did a tag team duel as they so love to do, we would destroy them.” Yuri waits for him to start agreeing with him, but that doesn’t happen. Instead Yugo’s gaze drifts back down to his card.

“Yugo, you’re not the only student who uses a summoning method other than Fusion. Dennis uses Xyz and you don’t see him getting all moody about it.”

“But he still uses Fusion. He has Performage Trapeze Witch and the Ancient Gear Hounds. I don’t have any Fusion Speedroid Monsters. I-I…I don’t belong here, Yuri.” Now that actually shook him.

“What are you talking about? You belong here just as much as anyone else. You’re one of the top students here, only second to me.”

“I know all that, but…the way everyone looks at me and Clear Wing. Like we’re freaks….” Clear Wing lets out a soft rawr, his wings drooping down. Yuri blinks at him. This was going to be a lot harder than all the other times. What were those kids saying to him when Yuri’s not around? Yuri sat down on the docks beside him.

“Yugo, look at me.” At first, he didn’t do anything, then slowly he turned his head to face Yuri. “There’s a reason you’re my partner. The Professor wouldn’t just partner me up with anyone. You and your dragon are strong and you know how to get a job done. You’re just as loyal to Academia as anyone else.”

“I know. I know.” Yugo said softly, turning away.

“The Professor is a smart man. He knows that you and Clear Wing belong together or he would have made you get rid of it long ago.”

“Damn it, Yuri! I know! I know! I know all of that!” Yugo exploded. “But it doesn’t matter how much stronger I am than them! It doesn’t matter how much good I do for this school! I have a Synchro Monster so that makes me an enemy of Academia!” Yuri was shocked as actual tears began to brim Yugo’s eyes. This was much, much worse. Those kids weren’t just teasing him.

Yuri suddenly grabbed the sides of Yugo’s face with both of his hands, forcing him to look at Yuri in the eyes. Yugo grabbed his wrists and tried to pull away, but Yuri kept him firmly in place.

“What have those idiots been telling you?” Yuri asked calmly. Yugo’s lips tremble and his eyes are wet with tears.

“The-they said that…when it’s time to take over th-the Synchro Dimension, the Pr-Profesor is going to…card me, because Fusion is superior and there’s no room for…”

“You are such an idiot, Yugo.“

“H-huh?”

“If you actually believe those kids you’re more of an moron than I thought.”

“Hey! I am not!” Yugo protested.

“Yugo, that will never happen. Even if your grades are lackluster your dueling skills are on a much higher scale than anyone I have ever seen. It would be a dumb move on the Professor’s part to card you.” A few lone tears escaped Yugo’s eyes. “Besides, the only one in this school who would have the actual skills to beat and card you would be me.” Yuri wiped away the tears gently with his thumb. “And I would never do that to you.”

Starving Venom’s tail curled around Clear Wing protectively as he roared in agreement.

“You…you promise?”

“…Sure.” Yuri said, rolling his eyes as he lets go of Yugo’s face. “If it will make you go back to bed faster.” Yugo actually smiled.

Yuri has always been Yugo’s only friend. Despite his cold appearance and barbed tongue, Yuri was really the only one Yugo could talk too. At first, the one thing that really caught Yugo’s attention was Yuri’s likeness to him. They both shared the same face but with such major differences in personality. Yugo could only assume that’s why Yuri was so drawn to him as well.

When the Professor assigned him as Yuri’s partner Yuri wasn’t all too happy about it. Even though they shared the same face, Yuri would rather work alone. Their partnership was like putting oil and water together for the first few months, but after awhile they both got used to each other. Yugo has proven that he was just as capable as Yuri in a duel and Yuri wasn’t ‘always’ a complete asshole to him. Yugo knew the softer side of Yuri that no one really knew existed.

“Now stop crying, you’re a duel soldier for Slifer’s sake.” As Yugo wiped away the rest of his tears he felt an arm wrap around his waist. The next thing he knew, he was being pulled into Yuri’s chest.

“Y-Yuri?!”

“And if those kids say that type of shit to you again, you come find me.” Yugo sense Starving Venom’s presence flaring to life. Yugo knew better than to argue when Yuri was in this state so he just nods.

“Ok-okay Yuri.” The presence dies down after that and Yuri removes his arm.

“Come on. We’ve wasted enough time here. It’s going to be dawn soon and I need my beauty sleep.” Yuri said as he stood up. Yugo followed suit. The two tucked their cards back into their decks and started the walk back to their dorm room, with their dragons following ever so loyally behind them.
