Who is he buying for?

Cloud. I don't know what those are but there are chocobos on the boxes. Vincent hasn't made the connection and has no idea why these things just scream 'Cloud' to him but it's the chocobos.

Reunion Second prompt for the ygo chocobox challenge ✨ This was not a sweet reunion tho. It's VKou's enemies arc!!

[lurking-latinist]

you know what would be fun? an exchange or a prompt fest or something where the prompts you give are behind the scenes/promo photos—not rpf, but like “give me their characters doing this.” Mel’s inexplicable goth outfit. Ace and Seven roleswap AU. Romana and a bunch of Doctors (all of these are based on photos I’ve seen). Or you could just make it a meme for yourself, “send me your favorite promo pic and I’ll use it as a fic prompt.” Maybe I’ll do that after I finish some of these exchange assignments.

“Yusaku…” Ai raised an eyebrow at him. “Are you sure you know where we’re going?”

Yusaku let out a grunt. “Of course I know where we’re going, Ai,” he insisted, making yet another turn in this labyrinth of strangely named furniture.

“Really?” Ai sounded incredulous. “‘Cause it kinda feels like we’re lost.”

“We are NOT lost,” Yusaku insisted, pulling out his phone.

Yusaku: Kusanagi, we’re lost in IKEA. Please come get us.

“Are you sure, love?” Ai asked, resting his hand on a nearby couch. “I'm pretty sure we’ve passed this Nikkala thing at least once.”

“I… did that on purpose.”

Ai’s lip twitched up. “You’ve been intentionally walking us in circles?”

Yusaku stiffened. “We’ve been walking in circles and you didn’t tell me?!”

“Oh?” Ai tilted his head to the side. “I thought you said you knew where we were going.”

Yusaku looked away, his eyes narrowed with indignation.

Ai took Yusaku’s hand. “Did you lie to me Yusaku-dearest?” he asked, planting a kiss on the back of Yusaku’s palm.

Yusaku met his partner’s gaze with a glare icy enough to freeze him over. Ai broke into a giggle.

“I’ll take that as a yes then.”

Yusaku let out an annoyed grunt but didn’t protest.

“So basically…” Ai rested his hand on his chin, as though he were in deep contemplation. “When it comes to where to go, my guess is as good as yours.”

“I’d rather not become more lost, thanks.”

Ai let out an offended huff. Yusaku looked around, searching for arrows on the ground that might link them to the exit or at least activate the effect of making Yusaku look like he knew what the heck he was doing.

“Maybe we should follow that arrow,” Ai suggested, pointing in the opposite direction. “Arrows are always a good thing in duelling. Surely the same applies to IKEA.”

“IKEA is nothing like duelling,” Yusaku grumbled, following the arrow in question.

Ai took his hand as he continued beside him. “Isn’t it though? Both are stupidly complicated and have arrows pointing all over the place.”

Yusaku covered his mouth with a fist to hide his smile.

“Oh!” Ai suddenly stopped, his eyes bright as they fixed on something off to the side. “I found another similarity IKEA has to duelling!”

Yusaku raised an eyebrow. “And what would that be, Ai?”

Ai took both Yusaku’s hands, walking backward toward one of the couches along the wall.

“Both of them have a lot of love in the air,” Ai explained, pointing at the sign beside the couch.

The sign read: ‘The Loveseat Klippan.’

Yusaku facepalmed. “We are not getting that, Ai.”

“Why not?” Ai asked with an exaggerated frown. “It’s perfect for us.”

“Too expensive. Let’s go.” Yusaku began walking again, following the nearest arrow on the floor.

“Hmph.” Ai pouted, folding his arms. “You’re no fun.”

“Well, going broke to buy an expensive couch sounds like it would be even less fun, doesn’t it?”

“I guess…” Ai’s voice trailed off as he looked around. “What are we trying to find exactly?”

“The exit,” Yusaku answered bluntly.

“Without buying anything?” Ai asked, cocking his head.

“I only intended to look.”

Ai smiled, raising an eyebrow. “Couldn’t you have done that online?”

“Nothing ever looks the same as it looks online.”

“Not true.” Ai looped an arm around Yusaku as they walked. “You look just as handsome in real life as you do in Link VRAINS.”

“I literally look completely different as Playmaker.”

Ai shrugged. “Your hair maybe, but you’ve got the same cute face and big green eyes.” He stopped for a moment, looking around. “I don’t think we’ve been to this area, is that a good or a bad thing?”

Yusaku looked up. They appeared to be in the kids’ section, as the wall was lined with shelves of stuffed animals.

“Could be either,” Yusaku admitted. “This place has multiple exits.”

Ai suddenly let out a gasp. “Oh my gosh!”

He let go of Yusaku to book it toward the shelves of stuffed animals, grabbing an octopus plush.

“Look!” Ai beamed ear to ear as he put the stuffed animal on his head. “I’m an Octop-Ai!”

Yusaku let out a long sigh.

“Can I buy him?” Ai asked with a smile.

“Why?”

“Because he’s adorable! And not that costly!” Ai showed him the price tag, making a little pleading noise.

Yusaku let out a long sigh. “Fine.”

“Yes!” Ai cheered, throwing his hand in the air.

“You can buy it if we ever find a checkout,” Yusaku replied, walking off.

Yay!” Ai hopped after him.

Curious, and maybe a bit anxious, Yusaku opened his phone to see if Kusanagi had answered him. He was greeted with an entire wall of texts from several parties:

*Kusanagi created a group chat with Jin and Yusaku*

Kusanagi: Yusaku, I have gotten lost as well, I apologise. I’m calling Jin.

*Jin added Ryoken to the group chat*

Jin: Yusaku, Ch-Chi, the first room by the entrance is the kitchen section. I’m too scared to go much further in, just come to the kitchen section.

Jin: GUYS RYOKEN IS GOING IN. I REPEAT RYOKEN IS GOING IN. KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR A LOST WANDERING RYOKEN.

Ryoken: I’m not going to get lost, Jin.

Ryoken: …I’m… calling Spectre.

Kusanagi: NO GOOD GOD. CALL ANYONE BUT HIM TO FIND US.

Ryoken: Too late, he and Takeru are on their way.

Jin: Good lord, is everyone going to get lost in here?!

*Ryoken added Takeru and Spectre to the group chat*

Ryoken: It seems that way.

Takeru: It’s not our fault Jin. This place is complicated.

Ryoken: …Takeru, are you telling me you already got lost?

Takeru: I was trying to get away from Spectre, his face unsettles me.

Spectre: DO YOU WANT THROW HANDS?!

Takeru: YES I DO IN FACT. COME TO THE DISHWASHERS AND FIGHT ME YOU TREE HUGGING WIMP.

Jin: No guys, don’t fight :(

Spectre: DEAL, YOU DIRTY MOTHER KILLER.

Ryoken: I WILL KILL BOTH OF YOU.

Takeru: Wait, did I actually kill your mom somehow? I’m so confused.

Kusanagi: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING HERE?!

“That looks fun,” Ai commented, and Yusaku realised he’d been reading the texts from over his shoulder.

Yusaku facepalmed. This was going to be a long day indeed.

Home

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters

Ship: Atem/Malik/Yugi/OC

Prompt: Feeling at home

Summary: Malik feels confuse having to travel between Japan and Egypt and not knowing where and if he wants to settle. Atem tries to reassure him.

Malik was conflicted. It was difficult for him to live so far away from his partners. Their contact was mostly made of phone calls and messages, and even these were somewhat difficult on an international scale.

He really loved when they could travel and spend moments together. Like that Valentine’s morning, cuddling in the makeshift bed with his sleeping boyfriends at their girlfriend’s house - although he wished their girlfriend had stayed with them, instead of waking up earlier, but soon she would be back with breakfast in bed for the four of them, and she was the best cook among them, so he wouldn’t complain much - Malik felt at peace.

On the other hand, after everything that had happened, he wasn’t ready to be apart from his siblings for long, either, and he felt equally comfortable in Japan or Egypt, like it didn’t matter where he lived. Despite either bringing him memories of the past everyone insisted he’d better forget.

He thought of getting up and joining Amy in the kitchen to get away from his thoughts of the past, but it was hard to get himself out of the tangle of limbs that the three of them had ended up into without waking his boyfriends. Malik had barely moved when he felt the one at his back stir.

“Did Amy wake you?” Malik shivered upon hearing Atem’s husky voice by his ear.

Malik tried to turn around to face his boyfriend, but Yugi’s hold on him tightened. Atem chuckled.

“No. I woke up before her. Did I wake you?”

“I have been half awake since she left. What is bothering you?”

“Why do you think something is bothering me?”

“Because we never saw you wake up so early on your own when we’re together. Is it because you’re going back home tomorrow?”

At first Malik didn’t want to talk about it. But Atem would understand, right? He was, not only from another country, but from another time. And although most would argue he had no family to go back to because of that, he had been returned to them once, only to be brought back again but, after that, he made no effort to return again, and sometimes Malik had wondered if Atem resented Kaiba for prompting the accident that brought him back to life.

“Malik?” Atem called softly when the silence stretched, loosening his hold to prop himself up on one arm and peek at Malik’s face.

“Do you feel at home here?”

“Of course I do. Wherever I’m with someone I love, I am at home. Yugi taught me that. Do you feel at home?”

“I don’t know. I always felt the same, no matter where I was. In the beginning, everywhere bothered me, but it doesn’t anymore. But even though I’m comfortable everywhere, I’m never fully satisfied, would not only because I have to travel because I miss someone, I’m never satisfied with the place. Do you ever feel like this?”

“Sometimes, especially with the climate. I’m still not used to Domino’s winters. Maybe it is because I haven’t been here for more than a couple of years, at least in my own body, but sometimes I think I’ll never get used to it. There are also different customs of each country that I’m not used to either. But to me, Egypt isn’t very different from a foreign country either, because it is not the place it was in my time anymore.” Atem shifted back to lie down and embrace Malik from behind. “For now, it is okay for you to travel when you feel too bothered, though.”

“But I’ll have to choose, sometime.”

“And when that time comes, the four of us will do so together. And no matter what we chose, we are each other’s home, so we’ll be okay. Don’t you feel at home with us?”

Malik stayed in silence for a moment, not because he doubted his answer, but to enjoy the feeling of both his boyfriends’ holding him.

“There is no place I feel more at home.” He finally said, one hand holding Yugi closer, the other intertwining with one of Atem’s. “But…”

“You have another home with your siblings. That’s fine. We have as many homes as there are people we love. Sometimes we choose one to spend more time with, but that doesn’t invalidate the others.” Atem kissed the back of his neck. “Do you feel better?”

“A little. But I don’t have to worry about it right now. Amy will be here at any moment, and I just want to spend the day with you right now.”

Atem hummed in response, kissing him again. Before it could go too far, though, the door was pushed open and Amy came in, balancing a couple of trays with food.

“Boys, breakfast!” She called, cheerfully.

Yugi just grunted something in response, snuggling against Malik’s chest. Atem sat up and shook him.

“Yugi! Are you planning on sleeping all through Valentine’s?”

“But I’m comfortable here.” Yugi mumbled.

The other three laughed. Nothing unusual for a morning spent together. And Malik hoped these little things would never change.
