This came out when I was re-reading the Yu-Gi-Oh manga and watching Season 0. I'd check it out if I were you. Really.

This is a little out of character for me. After all, I write Naruto stuff. However, this pairing is lovely. Besides, I've recently fallen head over heels in love with Yu-Gi-Oh again.

WARNINGS:

-Slight, slight Puzzleshipping, which means that it's Yuugi and Atemu. Or, if you prefer, Yuugi and Yami. They are together.

-Slight Fluff.

-This is set in the manga/Season 0, when Yuugi wishes on the puzzle for friends. It's the one where Atemu/Yami is a beast and kills/hurts things and is rather evilly charming. And protective of Yuugi.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh the manga or the TV show or Season 0 that some people have never seen. I recommend it. I hear Kaiba has naturally green hair. Amusing, it is.

Wishes

Yuugi had wished on the puzzle, and wished hard.

True friends. Friends that will never betray me.

Jounouchi and Honda and Anzu were great. He'd known Anzu for forever and a day. They never did betray him, and they never did do anything dishonest. True friends, true, true friends.

But the closest one to his heart, his truest friend came from inside the puzzle. They'd been bonded, soul to soul. They were partners.

"Aibou..."

And Yami, or Atemu, or whoever he was would never, ever betray Yuugi. Not ever. Not in another 5000 years, or another 5000 years after that, or after that, or even after that.

They'd been through everything. They'd been through Seto Kaiba and Shadow Game upon Shadow Game and they'd be through everything after this life, and the next.

Because the puzzle had delivered true friends, yes.

But the puzzle had given him the most extraordinary friend of all, and the most unexpected surprise.

And his wish had been granted.

"I love you, Aibou."
