"Okay, who died?"

"Nobody, Yusei," sighed Jack, holding on to a picnic basket.

"Fine. You tried 'customizing' your runner again and somehow broke mine."

"Nope. See—"

"You've gone straight."

Jack rolled his eyes. "Come on, really? I just wanna take my love out on a picnic. Is that so harmless?"

Yusei was still hesitant, but followed Jack further into Domino Park. The pair had been together for two years. Many people who knew Jack knew about his personality. Most people figured the relationship had two weeks, tops. But they defied those odds. Since they lasted so long, people began buzzing about a proposal. Yusei had heard of these rumors and wished they were true. He could easily see Jack as somebody he'd spend the rest of his time with. He was caring, feisty, and well, damn sexy.

"Are you sure nothing happened?" Yusei asks, watching Jack spread out a blanket.

"Positive."

He got out two plates, a container with sandwiches, and glasses for…

"Red wine!" Yusei exclaimed, holding the bottle up. "This had to be crazy expensive. I don't—"

Jack places a finger on Yusei's lips.

"Just. Relax."

He sighs and sits down on the blanket, resignedly. He reached for a sandwich, cautiously. Jack smiled to himself, reaching for one as well. Everything was going according to plan.

"Want some wine?" He offered, popping the cork. "It's your favorite."

"Are you sure that—"

"Yes. Yusei, I'm sure!" Jack shouts, the small box in his hand beginning to feel like lead.

"Well…if you say so."

Jack relaxed again, pouring the wine in Yusei's glass.

"Toast?"

Yusei smiled, clinking his own glass with Jack's.

"Toast. To…us."

With that, the two began to drink. God knows Jack was going to need more than one glass.


"Jack, you r-remember when w-we—" Hiccup. "dueled t-that homeless man? H-he was t-too easy…b-but we felt s-sorry—" Giggle. "for h-him so we gave h-him some…money!"

Turns out, they both ended up drinking way more than one glass. However, it was nothing for Jack. He drunk almost constantly and five glasses was nothing. Yusei, on the other hand, was freakin' drunk.

"Jack!" He exclaimed, crawling into his lap. "I—" Another hiccup. "love you."

Jack was overwhelmed by how much he had drunk. "Okay, let's get you home." The sun was beginning to go down and the scene was looking a bit suspicious. Jack was a bit disappointed because he couldn't propose.

"Jaaaack!" Yusei whines, trying to climb on top of Jack. "Let's make love…"

"Yusei!" he exclaimed, hushing the drunk boy. Jack scooped him up, cradling him as he called for his limo. Before he knew it, a sleek black limo had arrived. The chauffeur didn't even have time to get out of the passenger's side before Jack shoved Yusei in there. Is this how he gets when he's drunk? He'll have to make a mental note to never drink in public with him again.


Jack decided to let Yusei sleep the alcohol off at his place. Yusei had…other ideas. As soon as they were inside, he lost what little control he had left. Yusei knew he was drunk, yet he wanted Jack so bad. I turn, Jack wanted him as well, but it would be as…memorable, if they were buzzed and drunk. However, if they were both sober (and fiancée's), he'd be all for it.

"Yusei," Jack sighs, pushing the horny boy off. "you need to sleep this off."

"You and I could burn it off."

Jack groans. It felt just like a kindergartner. Not only did Yusei get horny, he apparently got perverted too. He picks up a squirming Yusei and carries him to his bedroom.

"Oh, so you're topping?"

Jack suppresses a blush and tucks him in, kissing his forehead lightly.

"Jack."

He turned around. Yusei looked completely serious.

"I wished you'd just propose already."

Jack's heart began to pound. Was that the alcohol speaking? Or him?

"Just sleep," He mutters, pulling up a chair beside him. He watched as his love slowly fell into a light sleep. Eventually, Jack did as well.


When Yusei woke up, he had a killer headache. He couldn't remember anything except drinking his favorite red wine. Last time he could remember, wine didn't do that! His eyes adjusted to the room and noticed that he was in Jack's apartment. Did they-? Yusei looked around. No. Jack wasn't even in the bed, but slumped over in a chair. Instantly, he felt bad. Jack had put up with…him?

He managed to get out of bed without a squeak. Yusei had no idea what time it was, but he could tell that it was late morning. He took a quick gaze over Jack again, and started to pace.

"What can I do?" Yusei wondered aloud. Jack looked like he'd been through hell, and apparently, he was that hell. How could he make it up? His stomach rumbled suddenly and a brilliant idea popped into his head.

'Of course, breakfast!' Yusei thought excitedly, throwing a blanket over his boyfriend. He shrugged on his jacket and boots and raced out of the room. Maybe he was one step closer to that so called proposal.


Jack awoke with a start. He heard a shout, he was sure of it.

"J-Jack!"

Without hesitation, he raced downstairs. Noise was coming from the kitchen, so that's where he targeted.

"Yusei?"

Yusei was standing on a chair, balancing terribly.

"J-Jack! T-there's a…."

"A?" He urged.

"Bug!"

Jack was very confused. A bug…what's the problem? It wasn't that serious. He followed where Yusei was pointed and smirked. A cockroach was feeding off a piece of fallen fruit.

"Is this what you're afraid of?"

"Y-yes!"

Jack sighed and took of his shoe. Before you knew it, the roach was dead and went to roachy heaven.

"There. Happy?"

Yusei took some deep breathes before he stepped off the chair. He rushed into Jack's open arms.

"Come here, you."

Yusei was glad for Jack's strong arms. It was a welcome comfort.

"You probably don't want me as a husband now, right?" Yusei whispered, hoping he wasn't heard.

Jack held on to him tighter. "Why would you think that?"

"I-I have a silly bug phobia. I-I've had it ever since I was four."

Jack nods, understanding. "If it makes you feel better, I kinda have this thing about…gummy worms. They're just like regular worms just…edible. I think they're pretty creepy looking.

That made Yusei laugh. "Thanks for the story, even if it's not true."

"It's definitely true. Would I lie to my future husband? That's if you'll take me."

"F-future?"

Yusei watched silently as Jack got down on one knee. Jack opened the small velvet box he's been waiting for ages to open. It revealed a solid gold band with…

"A wrench? Jack, how'd you—"

"I have my ways."

Yusei felt his eyes tearing up, but for a good reason.

"I was meaning to purpose yesterday in the park, but, somebody decided to drink a little too much."

He blushed, apologizing.

"Anyway, if it wasn't obvious, I'm purposing to you Yusei Fudo. I love you, and I'd shout that to the highest mountain, deepest cave, and who knows, I might just do that."

They both smiled.

"Basically, if you'll have me, I'll protect you from roaches, learn how you build my duel runner, and maybe look at a bag of gummy worms. So, Yusei, will you marry me?"

"Yes."

Jack slipped the band on his finger and kissed him passionately. They would've kept going if the smoke detector hadn't gone off. The loud shrill quickly broke the two up.

"Were you trying to cook for me?"

Yusei nodded, blushing slightly.

"Wanna just buy something somewhere?"

"Great idea."

After stopping the smoke detector, they two tried to clean up, but decided to just leave it alone. There would be plenty of time to clean after they got home.

"Ready fiancée?" Yusei asked, slipping his hand in Jack's.

Jack squeezed and nodded. "As long as you're with me, I'm ready."
