#RIP her on white day though Kaiba is so overwhelming on that day

how is Seto and Eve celebrating valentines day

With a lot of pampering

In Japan, Valentine's day is treated slightly differently than a western's Valentine's. Instead of the men going out and getting gifts, it's actually the women who are expected to be the gift givers, giving things of flowers and chocolates and small trinkets like that to their male colleagues and their significant others. Then on White Day, which happens exactly a month after Valentine's, the men in the relationship will give gifts to the women, usually something with much more value compared to what they were given.

So Eve uses the day to pamper Kaiba. She'll stay up the night before, making her own Honmei choco, or "True Feeling Chocolate", to give to Kaiba the next day. She'll buy him tons of flowers and small games as presents, and after he gets home she'll tend to him, giving his hands tender massages and his face as many kisses as you could possibly imagine.

Eve wants Kaiba to know how much she loves him, and uses the day to demonstrate her love and devotion, putting in as much effort and affection as she possibly can despite her tiny size and their vast social differences.

Valentine's is considered one of Kaiba's favorite holidays because of Eve, and on White Day Eve usually takes the next day off to recover because Kaiba pays all of her affection back tenfold.

I wanted to craft some crackship ideas, and I was given some ships and I want to post those ideas so:

Atem and Ryo Bakura -

Maybe the Ceremonial Duel is arriving soon and everyone is antsy and sort of dodging around the weight of their feelings and the weight of what’s coming. Ryo has felt hollow and confused in the wake of Yami Bakura having been ripped away from him. He wasn’t present for it, he had no say in it. And Ryo never understood who Yami Bakura truly was, and something breaks down and he needs answers. So Ryo musters the courage to face Atem about it. Except once he actually meets with Atem he gets cold feet about it, and the two sort of dance around actually talking about the heavy subjects: the looming duel and what Atem suspects---Ryo wants some answers. Really, Atem himself never truly understood who Yami Bakura was. And the two stumble into this conversation. Ryo feels anchorless. Atem is confused about where his anchor is. And both feel sort of disconnected from reality: Ryo in the shadow of having this mysterious and yet major presence in his life suddenly torn away and feeling that hole, and Atem with the knowledge of what’s coming soon and how he’ll be torn away. And Atem really can’t give Ryo the answers he’s looking for about Yami Bakura exactly, though Atem finds himself falling into guilt over Thief King Bakura. And Ryo feels guilty because he’s been so helpless about what went on and Yami Bakura’s fate. And Ryo doesn’t know if he’s angry or grateful or horrified. But Ryo starts breaking down and Atem is confused and a bit overwhelmed, and he says he’s sorry. And Atem wonders about the holes the others will feel, about the tears they’ll spill, if he’s torn away himself.

Isis Ishtar and Kisara -

Kisara’s spirit guards the palace in Ancient Egypt after her human form was killed. As a spirit, her form shifts between dragon and human. Priestess Isis catches sight of the beautiful spirit from the corner of her eyes sometimes. Isis feels a bit lonely and overburdened after so many casualties and so much rebuilding and she finds comfort when she sees this shimmering spirit. She often sees the spirit lingering at the same spots and so she sometimes picks flowers and leaves them in those spots for the spirit. Sometimes the spirit notices her back and smiles to her. The years pass on and on and Isis has a family as is expected of her and she grows old, but the spirit remains a warm companion in the palace. When Isis dies in old age, Kisara greets her with a smile and Priestess Isis’ heart blooms. Kisara takes her hand and guides her on towards her new life as Isis Ishtar. In the modern age, Isis looks upon the Blue Eyes White Dragon on the stone tablet but won’t dare acknowledge what she feels. She can’t even recognize these feelings. But the Dragon saves her from a dark fate in Isis’ duel with Seto Kaiba. When the dim future the Millennium Necklace had shown her seemed inescapable, Seto instead was suddenly inspired by visions of Kisara to summon Kisara’s spirit to win the duel and Isis is freed.

Thief King Bakura and Seto Kaiba -

Yami Bakura has vague memories of Set just as he has vague memories of Pharaoh Atem. He hates both of them, although his murky memories focus more sharply on Atem. But Yami Bakura does keep notice of Seto. I’m thinking, when he’s not in control, Yami Bakura drifts in and out of dark dreams when he’s resting inside the Ring. He sees pieces of the Thief King’s anguished past and pieces of the royal court battling him and also there’s something comforting about the pulse of Zorc’s heart which he feels beating. But more and more he believes Seto Kaiba is also a piece to the puzzle of the past. And eventually this provokes him to challenge Seto to their duel in DM’s final season and to invite Seto to follow him to Egypt, which Seto does. Seto himself doesn’t understand why he’s drawn to the pulse in Egypt but it’s like gravity.

But when everyone is pulled into Ancient Egypt, it’s like the memories are scrambled. Seto watches some strange younger version of himself rescue a girl trapped inside a cell and race off with her. And suddenly he’s pulled elsewhere and he’s watching a massacre. No one seems to see him… except when he notices a hiding child with white hair and the hiding child notices him back. He walks to the child, who seems upset and frightened of him at first but then also notices that the murdering patrol doesn’t seem to notice this strange man in a strange coat. And Seto stays by the child as he shivers in his hiding place, Seto numbing to the sight of violence. And he sits down by the child until it’s all over. Eventually the child uncurls and they look over each other.

And Seto is thrust to further on, to over a decade from that moment. And the Thief King, as he rampages on the court, notices Seto and suddenly he recognizes this person and it catches him offguard but not by much. The battles are touch and go for both sides as the days drip by. Seto doesn’t understand why he’s here and he’s tired. One day when he’s alone he’s suddenly confronted by the Thief King. Seto recognizes him enough at this point to ask him why on earth he was invited here---surely you noticed I’d be on their side after all. But TKB asks back why did you stay by me and why did you come. Seto grunts over how TKB could be so sentimental over that. TBK sneers. And then Seto grunts, more softly, how the past is awful and hateful. TKB slips away, but this interaction lingers on in both of their heads. And they discretely meet like this once or twice more, having clipped conversations as the battle moves on. At some point, Seto has to ask Atem if he even realizes who he’s been fighting and why.
