Yay epilogue! This is really short, I wasn't even planning on writing it but decided to after I rewrote the ending of chapter 5. I felt that it was a fitting ending :) So read away!

2 Months Later

It was the day before fall classes started back up at Domino High, and the students were making the most of their last day of freedom. Yugi and Yami had chosen to go to the beach on Yugi's request. As Yugi stepped out of the car, he breathed in the fresh air, smiling at Yami as they pulled out their beach things. This beach trip was already ten times better than the last, and was bound to only get better.

Both boys were shirtless, and this was Yugi's first time showing his arms in public since the mall. Yami was worried about him, but Yugi had insisted on going, and he had agreed only because he wanted to do everything he could to make is aibou happy.

Walking down the path to the beach, Yami started to relax as he watched Yugi's face light up. As they walked across the sand, he even started to think that maybe this was a good idea. At least until...

"Dude. Look at that guy's arms." Said a boy who looked to be around the age of fifteen, standing not even five feet away, poking his friend. "They look like they went through a blender.

"Yeah. He must be emo. Why doesn't he just go kill himself?" said the other boy, slapping the first on the shoulder and laughing like he had just come up with a very clever line.

Yami immediately flared up, walking over and getting right in the boys' faces. "Do you want scars to match, since you think they're so funny? Or how about some on your face instead?" he shouted, the boys shrinking back like they were being attacked by a pissed-off three thousand year old Egyptian pharaoh. Which they were.

"Yaaami..." Yugi whined, pulling on the other's hand. "Let it go, people are starting to stare..." But Yami just shook him off.

"That's right, you better run! I should have sent you to the shadow realm!" he bellowed after the boys, who were running down the beach as fast as they could, not daring to look back.

"Yami!" Yugi yelled, getting his attention. "Can you please drop it before someone calls the cops on us?"

"But Yugi..."

"But nothing! I don't care about them, today is suppose to be fun. C'mon..." he said, taking Yami's hand again, pulling him towards the water, careful not to make eye contact with anyone.

When they got in the water, Yugi started diving over waves, splashing Yami, and generally having a good time, but even ten minutes later, his dark was still distracted, and Yugi was starting to get annoyed.

"Yami, are you still thinking about those boys?" he asked as he waded over to where the other was standing.

"What they said... it was just so..."

"Idiotic? That's because they're idiots, Yami, they don't know what they're talking about. Seriously, this is bothering you more than it is me."

"But Yugi, they were completely insensitive, and knew full well that we could hear them!"

"Haven't you ever heard of karma? Just watch, one day they'll say something idiotic like that to someone like Bakura, and they WILL be sent to the shadow realm." Yugi said, sighing with relief as Yami finally cracked a smile. "I've thought about it all summer, and I've decided to think of my scars as just a sign of how much I love you. Even if it is in a sick, twisted way." He laughed, looking back towards the beach. "If other people are too ignorant to see that, then it's their loss."

Yami stared at him for a while, taking in his words, before picking him up bridal style again and kissing him. When the need for air became too great, they broke their kiss, and Yugi leaned his head against Yami's chest. "I love you Yugi." Yami said, staring into his light's eyes.

"I love you, too, Yami." Yugi smiled, but his eyes opened in shock as he saw a smirk appear on Yami's face. He knew what was coming, but before he could say anything, Yami dropped below the water, taking Yugi with him.

A few seconds later the boys popped back up, Yugi gasping for breath before smiling and jumping on Yami's back, pulling him under again. Surfacing a few seconds later, both started laughing and continued to try to get the best of each other, forgetting everyone else on the beach, forgetting everyone else in the world, and living in their own little paradise.

See, told you it was short! But I wanted to add some fluff since it was a rather angsty story. So yay fluff! I'm not that great at writing fluffy stuff tho, so sorry if it wasn't great (I'm much better at angst it seems). Buuut I hope you liked it anyway. Send me a review and tell me what you thought of the story! I'm in the process of writing a short one-shot at the moment (I'm going to try something a little more... citrusy ^_^) so that shall be posted sooner or later. Thank you all for your support for this story, reading all the reviews has made me so happy! I love you all! *throws confetti*
