#kaiba is hot okay

[romanceddawn]

seto catching yugi checking him out and trying to fluster him by smirking and saying, "like what you see?" but it backfires because yugi just smiles back and gives him a slow look up and down before saying, "yeah, i really do." so now seto's the one blushing

[moldysourlemons]

Seto and Mokuba were adopted by a different, better family in my fic, so Seto is a bit of a different person. Anyways, I love these two dorky nerds.

Draw your otp <3

[usa1chan1]

Women don't want flowers they want to be in Yu-Gi-Oh! To have someone like,

**Yugi** who's way too kind and handsome for his own good

**Joey** the most determined and sweet guy from Brooklyn Japan you've ever met <3

**Duke** he'll make you roll your eyes but you can't help but love him anyway

**Bakura** if his dashing good looks won't have you swooning his accent sure will not to mention how sweet he is ;)

**Kaiba** he may be stubborn but he's charming and caring at times~

**Atem** how could you ever even not expect the world from this perfect man, he's truly a gift from the heavens

**Marik** okay listen he may be evil but he's hot and dressed like a slut that is all

**Yami Bakura** God I would be lying if I said he wasn't the guy they mention when they said he'd burn the world for you

**Yami Marik** if regular Marik isn't enough of a hot slut this is 10x better he would brand you and you would say thank you while batting your lashes

I do just be a girl with a yugioh obsession that came back with revenge in 2024 (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

Snowy Skies and Mistletoe

Pairing- Seto Kaiba x Reader

Word count- 1k

Summary- Seto Kaiba and the reader find themselves caught in a snowstorm, leading to a cozy and romantic moment under the falling snow.

The café was a quaint little establishment, with the scent of freshly brewed coffee lingering in the air. The warmth inside offered a stark contrast to the frigid cold outside. Seto Kaiba, ever the picture of stoicism, tried to hide any trace of discomfort as he reluctantly removed his coat, revealing a crisp suit underneath. On the other hand, you, unfamiliar with the biting chill of winter, shivered slightly, clutching onto your coat for warmth.

Seto cast a discerning gaze in your direction, his eyes narrowing slightly as if studying an interesting puzzle. "[Y/N], it would be foolish of you to catch a cold because of your inability to dress appropriately for the weather."

You raised an eyebrow, a spark of defiance lighting up your eyes. "Well, not all of us are used to dealing with extreme weather conditions on such a frequent basis, Kaiba."

Ignoring the thinly veiled insult, Seto leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "Regardless, we need to wait out this storm. I won't have you ruining my plans because of your negligence."

You sighed, realizing that arguing with Kaiba was an exercise in futility. "Fine, but only because I don't want to be responsible for your plans getting all twisted. What are we supposed to do until the storm passes?"

Seto glanced around, his eyes settling on a small, unassuming Christmas tree in the corner of the café. "I suppose we could engage in some mindless holiday festivities until the weather outside improves."

As if on cue, the café's owner approached, a mischievous glint in his eye. "I heard you two are stuck here for a while. How about a friendly game of cards to pass the time?"

Seto Kaiba's competitive spirit immediately flared. "Cards? Fine. But don't expect me to go easy on you."

The hours passed in a blur of strategic moves and witty banter. Despite the initial tension, a surprising camaraderie developed between you and Seto. The simple card game became a welcome distraction, making you two forget about the snowstorm outside.

As the game reached its climax, the café owner chuckled. "You two make quite the team. I almost forgot about the storm raging outside. How about a break? I'll make some hot chocolate to warm you up."

Grateful for the respite, you and Seto found a corner of the café where you could relax. Seto, always the pragmatist, pulled out his laptop and began typing away, absorbed in some work-related emails. You watched him for a moment, appreciating the focused intensity etched into his features.

Eventually, you could not resist the lure of the snowy scene outside. "Come on, Kaiba. You can't work all the time. Let's go see the snow. It’s not every day I get the opportunity to experience weather like this.”

Seto hesitated, torn between the persistent demands of his work and the allure of a rare moment of leisure. Eventually, he closed his laptop with a curt click. "Fine. But let’s make it quick."

Stepping outside, the both of you were greeted by a winter wonderland bathed in the soft glow of streetlights and the twinkling stars above. The snow fell gently, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. You twirled around with glee, catching snowflakes on your tongue, while Seto observed you with a rare flicker of amusement.

"This is incredible," you exclaimed, your eyes sparkling with childlike wonder.

Seto, for a fleeting moment, found himself caught in the enchantment of the snowfall. He walked alongside you, your footsteps leaving a trail in the freshly fallen snow. Unbeknownst to you two, the café owner watched from the window, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

As you and him meandered through the snowy streets, you couldn't help but appreciate the unexpected beauty of the moment. "You know, Seto, sometimes it's okay to take a break and enjoy life."

He raised an eyebrow, a hint of skepticism in his voice. "Enjoy life? That's not exactly in my job description."

You couldn’t help but laugh, your breath forming small clouds in the chilly air. "Well, maybe it's time to update that job description. Life is full of surprises, and sometimes you just have to go with the flow."

You guys walked in comfortable silence for a while, the only sound being the soft crunch of snow beneath your boots. Eventually, Kaiba spoke up.

"Enough of this nonsense. Let's head back to the café. I've wasted enough time on frivolities."

Before you could protest, you noticed a small cluster of mistletoe hanging from a nearby lamppost. An idea sparked in your mind. "Wait, Kaiba. Look up."

Seto followed your gaze, and his eyes narrowed at the sight of the mistletoe. "What's the point of—"

Before he could finish his sentence, you stood on your tiptoes, pressing a quick but gentle kiss to his cheek. You smirked, satisfied with the surprise written across his usually composed face.

"Consider that a lesson in going with the flow," you teased.

Seto Kaiba, for once, found himself at a loss for words. As the both of you made your way back to the café, a newfound warmth blossomed between you, not just from the hot chocolate waiting inside, but from the unexpected magic of a snowy night and the gentle reminder that even the CEO of KaibaCorp could be caught off guard by the whims of fate.

Back in the café, the warmth enveloped you like a comforting embrace. The owner handed you each a steaming mug of hot chocolate, and you and Seto settled into a cozy corner, content in each other's company. The storm raged outside, but within the walls of the café, you and Seto Kaiba discovered a quiet sanctuary, a moment frozen in time, and the promise of a future where the unexpected could lead to something beautiful.

AN: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! I have been so busy preparing for the holidays, but I wanted to put something out :3 I hope everyone is having a chill day wherever in the world you are

[saiikavon]

(I’ve been volunteering at a cat shelter so my brain is full of cats. Also for some reason I really like it when Kaiba is a cat, so what better way to shake off the rust from a couple of weeks of no writing? Here we go.)

Seto does not usually take this route on his walks. Strays tended to congregate more freely in alleyways where trash got overlooked. Animal control was less stringent than in nicer neighborhoods, which was a plus, but the same could not always be said for the residents in the area. Old Tanaka on his porch was more likely to throw heavy objects than Miriko-San in her cute penthouse.

But, well, Seto has little choice today. His usual route had garnered some...inconvenient attention, and he'd been forced to take a detour. As it had been said, animal control could be a bit of a nuisance in a nice neighborhood, and Seto is not keen on ending up in the pound for the evening.

Skipping his walk isn't an option, either. Spending a minimum six hours a week in animal form was necessary to keep a shifter's body healthy, a fact which Seto had drilled into Mokuba's head many a time before. Seto refuses to be called a hypocrite over a minor upset in routine.

Still, this area is...unpleasant. He has to resist the urge to shake his paws on every step, disgusted by the grimy trash stains splattered over the asphalt. He wrinkles his nose as he passes an apartment undeniably belonging to a smoker, and tries not to pay attention to the filth lining the bottom of the brick walls. Surely, he'll be taking a long, hot shower once he gets home.

And then, the worst arrives, making kissy noises like an imbecile, holding fingers with their split, dirty nails out, presumably for Seto to sniff.

Of all the neighborhoods to wind up in...

"Come here, pretty boy," Jounouchi croons, making more of those embarrassing noises, even as Seto sits in place with ears pinned back in obvious displeasure. "C'mon, kitty, it's okay. You lost, precious? You hungry?"

Seto flicks his tail. As if he needs any more reasons to want nothing to do with the idiot.

He contemplates turning away, forcing this foolish deadbeat to either continue embarrassing himself until Seto turned a corner or to leave himself, but something makes him pause. There is an earnestness in Jounouchi's eyes, a determined compassion in his gestures that he supposes may be considered benefits. Assets. There's no telling whether Seto will be forced to reroute again; why shouldn't he have someone looking out for a lonely stray in this backwards neighborhood?

Convenience, he tells himself. That's all. That's the only reason he steps cautiously forward, offering Jounouchi's dirty fingers a cautious sniff.

The idiot actually beams at the small gesture, and rubs in between Seto's ears, earning him a swipe and a hiss.

Don't touch me until you've washed your hands, you dirty mutt!

Jounouchi doesn't seem put off by the near-scratch, however; he only chuckles and leans back on his heels, still grinning. "You look like you're a long way from home. Never seen a stray around here with a coat as nice as yours. You get lost, pretty boy? Or someone dump you?"

He frowns at that. Seto's heart twinges for the concern, despite himself.

"Hey, either way, I bet you're hungry. Hope you're not too fancy for some canned convenience store tuna."

It certainly isn't Seto's favorite. But again, the earnestness gets to him, somehow. He offers little more than a slight chirp, tail flicking.

He watches as Jounouchi stands, smiling once more. "Wait here. I'll go grab you some."

Seto scoffs to himself as Jounouchi begins to turn toward the nearest building, aiming to go inside. He stands and stretches instead of waiting, following at the deadbeat's heels up the concrete steps. There is absolutely no chance he's spending a second longer out on this filthy street if he doesn't have to.

"Oh, you wanna come in?" Jounouchi's grin widens, eyes practically glittering. Ridiculous. "Well, okay, then. Sorry in advance about the mess. I haven't gotten to the laundry yet today."

There's a surprise. Seto decides not to comment with any noises on that, instead carries on following Jounouchi into his warmer, marginally cleaner apartment.

He'll have to leave eventually, but Jounouchi is, surprisingly, not so bad...perhaps, if the pattern holds, Seto might consider changing his route permanently.

So long as Jounouchi never finds out it’s him.

OKAY THE KINKY BLUES HAS ME INTRIGUED PLEAAASE HEAR ME OUT ON SUGGESTIONS/BRAINSTORMING/HOPES/DREAMS. alright so it cant be in Temptation, the kink requires its own pocket dimension, first of all. as the biggest fanboygirl of their cycle of dominance and submission im gonna start off with that. a really fun and naturally flowing dom-sub dynamic for them is born in ancient egypt. if set put her aside as his property and tried to experiment with her ka with slowly increasing pressure whilr kisara was like "this kind man who saved me twice feeds me and shelters me who cares if hes tying me down and writing spells on my skin lol" it goes apeshit from there. TWO-this can be from many modern aus with little work, basically an in love blueship that seemlessly slipped into a dom-sub dynamic consciously switching it up a lil. whether that has seto giving orders while tied up on his knees or kisara begging to tie him up would be..that would go BRRRR. THREE. biting kink. straight up. no notes. id be fine with a 400 word introspective of either of one of them watching the bite marks they left on the other and their feelings about it. id settle. itd be enough.

how we feeling. any of thesr sound desirable. wanna brainstorm more. ill come knocking at your door like an unhinged mormon. anyway wanna tell you regardless, absolutely no pressure what you may or may not end up writing i just wanted to yell at someone about kinky blues, have a great day

S C R E E C H I NG this is why ily blueshipping king you just get my vision <333 that ancient Egypt idea has got me going f e r a l just thinking about it and i’ve thought for so long that i should write some mizushipping at some point anyway so yesssss. also biting is uh. yes please.

anyway okay now you got me started so strap in because this is gonna be a long ramble. so i feel like there’s several points about how i imagine their dynamic that i have to unpack here (putting it under a cut bc length or if ppl are uncomfy with this stuff)

↓↓↓

i am unfortunately boring in the way that i’ll ultimately always wanna write Seto as the dominant one just bc of my own personal preferences. BUT that obv doesn’t mean Kisa wouldn’t have a fair amount of control over the situation, both bc a healthy dom/sub dynamic requires it in terms of consent and boundaries ofc, but also bc a) Seto is so extreme in his need for Kisara’s explicit permission to do basically anything to her (even the vanilla stuff) because he’s so painfully precious about her well-being and also constantly plagued by not feeling worthy of her and b) while i think Kisa wants to be dominated i think she also realllly enjoys the control of knowing she’s got Seto wrapped around her little finger and could make him do any depraved thing she wants to her just by looking at him in the right way. so yeah i think they both know who’s really in control behind the scenes lol

i’m also DYING to get into Seto’s inevitable mental struggle to reconcile his thoughts and feelings of “she is a perfect goddess and i’m a mere mortal unworthy of even looking at her let alone touch her” and “i’d die to protect her and if anyone hurts her i’ll fucking kill them” vs his desire to be the one who gets to take this perfect goddess and make her submit to him, kneel before him, own and control and ruin her perfectly (because if there’s one thing we all know about Seto Kaiba is that he’ll make sure the divine yields to him, and not the other way around). I guess the key things there is that he alone is allowed to hurt her and no one else.

On this note i do however think Seto would be so conflicted about physically hurting Kisa, even if she very clearly and explicitly wants him to, because he just struggles with being so overprotective of her and not wanting to see her injured or in pain. but this would also be delicious to write him being all conflicted due to the guilt of causing her pain vs the fact that doing so is super fucking hot and he can’t resist doing it, esp not when she’s literally begging him to. Taking all of his frustrations after a long day out on her more than willing body would be so cathartic and tempting but also associated with so much guilt and worry about getting too into it and going too far.

I also definitely see Kisa as being the more extreme of them, to the point where i can actually see her be just a little bit unhealthily masochistic because she doesn’t really value herself due to past trauma, giving her a self-destructive streak and kinda fucked-up notions along the lines of ultimately being deserving of pain and suffering, that someone hurting her equals caring about her and wanting her, and that the ultimate thing she can do to show someone that she really loves and trusts them is to just offer herself up completely to use and do whatever they want to, which Seto would have to try to handle and mitigate because he’s ultimately not gonna let her use him to actually really hurt herself (and you know it would also break his heart a thousand times over to realise just how little she values and cares about herself due to her fucked up past). But I could also write it kinda funny in that whole “sub suggesting increasingly violent/fucked up things while the dom goes ‘idk that’s scary’” lmao. I think Kisa is a bit annoyed that people (especially Seto) tend to see her as this fragile, porcelain flower and wants to prove that she is perfectly capable of taking a (consensual) beating.

Outside of strictly sexual stuff i can also see Kisa as very much an ‘everyday/domestic acts of service’ kinda sub who just wants to bring Seto his coffee when he’s working and a drink when he comes home from work and make sure to always wash and iron his clothes and put them out before he leaves in the morning, tying his tie before he leaves and untying it when he gets home and cooking and serving his meals for him (which tbh wouldn’t just be about her being submissive but also bc she just wants to make sure he actually takes care of himself with like, eating and taking coffee breaks bc you know that man doesn’t take care of himself if left unchecked). And I think this also ties in with her sense of self-worth being tied to being useful and helping others because she doesn’t really see herself as valuable unto herself, but also maybe acts of service is just kinda her “love language” too. i feel like this is the sort of thing i could maybe include in Temptation bc she’s already pretty much like this there, with to me pretty obvious undertones that her working as Seto’s assistant is definitely triggering a submissive side in her.

Temptation also has the whole thing with Seto secretly enjoying Kisa wearing her KaibaCorp pin while working because it marks her as his for the world to see, and I definitely feel like that’d be a thing for him too. Branding her, either by things like visible bite marks/hickeys that she’s not allowed to cover up or something like a discreet necklace that is actually a collar (although tbf, with the fashion we see in the Yugioh universe, would anyone even blink at a BDSM-style collar? Like Yugi’s already wearing fetish gear as his everyday clothes lmao). I mean, Seto’s already pretty big on putting his branding on literally everything, so Kisa would be no exception (also imagine the ridiculous extravagance and amount of money and care Seto would put into a collar for Kisa).

While I’m not really into the idea of Seto being submissive per se, I do think both he and Kisa could easily have praise kinks because they both crave validation in their own ways and for someone to telling them that they’re doing/being good (Seto wouldn’t admit that though, but if I allow for some submissiveness on his part I think being called a good boy could fix him). But with him as the dom it also totally tracks for him to make Kisa worship him and stroke his ego in that way. On that theme, however, I could also imagine him making her allow him to worship her as a kind of ‘punishment’ bc he knows she has a hard time accepting that but that it’s also something that’s good for her to hear.

Also I can totally see Kisa being a little bratty as a sub sometimes because she likes to talk back to Seto and be deliberately cheeky, disrespectful and provocative (both because she enjoys the control of getting him riled up and because she knows that the more she gets him worked up the more forceful and intense he’ll be about putting her back into place afterwards).

Okay so this turned into a fic-chapter length essay about this topic instead of actually writing the fic (bc *ofc* i’d do that) but please lmk what you think!!! (and hopefully i'll use your ideas + my rambling and turn in into fic eventually)

[rosalind-hawkins]

Decided to go ahead and post some Puppyshipping for WIP Wednesday after commiserating about how writers block his hard sometimes. Enjoy this preview of the second chapter of "Present Danger."

~~~~~

The sound of tires squealing on the pavement made him look back at the road, where a slick cobalt sports car had just pulled to a stop. A dark tinted window rolled down and a familiar, irritated voice called out, “Get in.”

Joey didn't hesitate, running up to the car and yanking the door open to throw himself into the passenger seat. He pulled his tail inside as fast as possible so he could slam the door and leave the rest of the world behind.

He turned to look at Kaiba as the other teen shifted gears to pull back onto the road. The top layer of his hair was silvery white once more, standing out conspicuously against the underlayers of brown.

“Uh, Kaiba, your hair–”

“I'm aware!” he snapped, and Joey realized they were both in a bad mood. Seto heaved a sigh of annoyance and flicked his eyes over at Joey for a split second. “How's school going?”

Joey looked out the windshield as the window of the door started rolling up automatically. The dashboard started beeping, so he buckled his seatbelt to make it stop. He didn't need another irritant.

“It sucks. Nobody will leave me alone. They didn't give a damn who I was before, but now that I'm a freak, everyone's interested.”

Kaiba grunted vaguely. Had he guessed this would happen? Probably. The bastard knew most things.

Joey looked at him again. Hot bastard.

“Is this how you feel all the time? Like you're surrounded by idiots that just need to mind their own business?”

“Some days more than others,” Kaiba answered, sounding almost calm this time, but the rigidity of his body betrayed his true disposition.

“How'd ya find me, anyways?”

“I tracked your phone,” he answered, as if that were a normal and legal way of finding someone, as if that wasn't a serious violation of privacy.

“Ya coulda just texted me.” Joey shot him a glare. “I'd’ve answered.”

Kaiba clenched his jaw for a moment, then ground out, “Duly noted.”

“Any particular reason ya pick me up? Are we goin’ somewhere?”

“I needed to check on you,” but his tone didn't convey any care. “You're being careful, as we discussed?”

“Yeah, I'm bein’ careful.” The blond rolled his eyes.

Kaiba didn't appreciate his dismissive tone.

“You remember why it's important to be careful, don't you?”

“O’ course I do!” Joey almost shouted. Why was Kaiba talking to him like he was the idiot in all this? “Somethin' somethin' committee makes my head spin.”

“I don't think you understand that–”

“No, I get it, okay?” Joey snapped, slouching deeper into his seat. “I know, everyone's watchin’ me, waitin’ for me to screw up. Waitin’ for me to prove I'm nothin’ but a monster now.” He heaved a sigh and looked out the window again, muttering, “It’s nothin’ new.”

He propped the heel of his left foot on the edge of the seat and hugged his leg to his chest. Kaiba didn't say anything, but Joey thought he started to drive a little faster. Joey thought about his mother, and how the way she used to look at him was the same way everyone stared at him now, waiting for his “true nature” to reveal itself. She'd always looked at him and seen his father; it wasn't fair.

[loststarphounix]

im sorry for suddenly popping up in your inbox but i need to share this soudam idea AGHHHH

okay so

a glitch happens in the neo world program and gundham gets split into 3 versions of himself? one is his current avatar, one is him during hope's peak/despair arc, and one is his remnant of despair self-

and they all have a common interest : Kazuichi Souda

suggestive but:

( kazuichi secretly praying for his legs to still be working after this LMAO )

oh dang but like - I low key love this idea lol

kinda wanna make a one shot of this, but here’s what I got for it

break below cause def nsfw

Since they’re all Gundham, they all think that they’re the only one for Kazuichi, so I expect they’d fight a lot. Like, a lot a lot. To the point Sonia, Fuyuhiko and Hajime can’t take it anymore and they just corner Kaz to just pick one! But he doesn’t wanna cause he’s still fighting the “I’m not gay or bi its just guys are hot and maybe I wanna kiss them once” struggle ™️ so he’s dragging his feet but also scared of commitment because commitment is what made his mom vanish from his life.

But I can see Remnant Gundham just straight abducting him in the middle of the night and making him see all the benefits of choosing him, which makes the other two get in on and it devolves into a sorta orgy sort of train situation. They’d approach it about the same with slight variations:

I can completely see Kazuichi being so at their mercy - especially Remnant Gundham who in my headcanon is more hedonistic as his entropy and misanthropy is ramped to an 11, so he takes great liberties with Kazuichi’s body. His favorite position would definitely be one that keeps Kazuichi at his utter mercy - wet and gaping and incapable of doing anything on his own.

Hope’s Peak/Despair Arc Gundham is almost like our current avatar, but I’d say way mor socially inept if that’s possible? Way more a self proclaimed antagonist. Def thinks he’s the Kaiba to Kaz’s Joey or his Sasuake to his Naruto. He would be the softest at first, but gets demanding as they keep going. Kaz never disagrees anyway he’s too Simp to do so lol

Avatar Gundham I’m gonna say, is going to be a mix of these; after all, his NWP avatar was created with his previous personality from his school days. My headcanon for the whole NWP gang, is that the avatars are a mix of past and present, which would result in some minor (or major) shifts in personalities, habits and overall reactions to different situations. An organic consequence to removing the Enoshima brainwashing.

So Avatar Gundham would be a combination of both: sweet but wickedly cruel with his paramours comfort in mind! All three would def be into some form of BDSM and giving Kazuichi explicit instructions to follow. It also benefits Kazuichi, since canonically he has a thing for humiliation and orders; the real struggle would be to get him to stop begging, but they’d probably love that lol

In the end, he still can’t choose but hey, his dumbassery is endearing to them for some reason and the other two get sent back so it works out somehow!

of course that’s until the same glitch results in three Kazuichi’s but that’s a later problem.

[cosmic-pheonix]

Feeling bored and unmotivated in posting stuff (and probably in a need for some interaction with fellow moots/followers). Saw a post on Twitter on everyone sharing their cartoon crushes. (In case you missed it!)

I decided to be brave and share my fictional crushes! 😖🫡 Feel free to either agree or roast me! (Civically of course!) I'd love to see others fictional crushes and gush over them as well! So don't be shy in sharing them under the replies!

So to first start off...

Him💜

The 1st pic and GIF of him always does something to me (My god...)

Yami Yugi/Atem (Yu-Gi-Oh! DM/DSOD) | Main Crush - My first anime fictional crush 💜✨🌟 (and still is to this day! And has been recently the cause for all those self ship/self insert reblog posts on my other blog, as embarrassing as it sounds....) This man has inadvertently popped back into my brain all of sudden and slowly got me back to hyper fixating on YGO, (in the year of our lord saviour 2024), specifically for him 💜! There's really a plethora of reasons why I enjoy and appreciate him as a character (ie his personality, aura, kindness, complexity and flaws as a character, his voice - both in English and Japanese 😳 etc. - if anyone's interested maybe I might make a seperate post about it and share my headcanons for him perhaps)

2. Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh! DM/DSOD) - Do I really need to say anything? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Same reasons applied as Yami/Atem really! The guy’s iconic, what can I say?

3. Dartz (Yu-Gi-Oh! DM) - Unpopular opinion/hot take but I think he’s pretty underrated as a villain (fuck him for making Yami Yugi cry + manipulating him and everyone else - Affectionately?? Just so my words don’t get twisted out of context, I’m appreciating him as a villain/character here, so don’t get it twisted). Is the story a hit or a miss or is it necessary? Can’t really say for sure, sorry🤷🏾‍♀️.

It’s been a long time I watched YGO, so go easy on me and take it with a grain of salt. All I will say honestly, is that I really like his design, him as a character (I think there’s a lot of missed potential that could’ve been explored more) and his voice (English preferably, Wayne Grayson’s performance as Dartz really did it for me! No hate towards the Japanese VA/Dub, just a preference towards his eng voice)

4. Pantalone (Genshin Impact) - Okay, so here’s the thing with him…If I happen to come across a guy with this much drip, charm and mysterious aura, with glasses to boot than I’m already sold! I haven’t played much Genshin in a long time, so I’m not sure what role he plays into the story. (I’d love to hear your thoughts and theories, though no spoilers please! 😊)

I’ve only seen snippets of clips and fanart of him and the fatui from here and there, but I hope he’s playable in the near future.

If Arlecchino (Father - MORE LIKE DADD-), can become playable in the future, then so can he (among other fatui members, aside from Childe).

5. Boothill (Honkai Star Rail) - I don't know about you guys, but ever since he's been leaked (and now recently added to the game have seen his character trailer - the way he just sauves and moonwalked like the smooth criminal he is did it for me!) I just adore him - Design, personality, voice everything! I love me a spunky, sassy rootin tootin space ranger cowboy that loves to cause havoc and chaos! (and serves cun-) I just think he’s neat! (Also is it just me or does his theme song in the character trailer sounded something you would hear in a freakin Ford Truck Commercial, his theme screams pure “America. Freedom, F yeah!” Vibes. PLEASE TELL ME I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THIS?! I JUST FIND IT FUNNY TO ME)

6. Miguel O'Hara (Across The Spiderverse) - Haven’t seen the movie yet (dw I plan to watch it but PLEASE NO SPOILERS!) but this man is everywhere and I don’t blame you! I’ve seen fanart/edits of him (especially ones whenever they show his fangs 😳👀) and honestly it’s on me because I been rewatching ColeyDoesThings video on him and it immediately got me back to start watching the spider verse movies (it’s on my to do list) So thanks Coley! (You should go check out her YouTube videos on everything fandom related, it’s great!)

UPDATE: Got another honourable mention! ✨⭐️

7. Lycaon (Zenless Zone Zero) - I’ve recently started playing ZZZ and so far it’s pretty fun! I’ve seen so many clips and fanart of this dude it’s not even funny. He’s pretty cool and got a nice design and voice. And that’s all I’m gonna say. I think this video on Twitter should speak for itself:

[duel-king]

He needs a strong cup of coffee this morning. His first night at the villa was a restless one.

Ironically, Seto Kaiba the tech genius has no clue how to use a coffee machine. Coffee was always delivered to him by an intern at the office or a maid at home. He glares at the machine as if he could intimidate it into serving him. After a long staredown, he resigns himself to opening up the virtual assistant app on his phone. He'd rather chew on glass than wake up his roommate to ask for help.

"Good morning, sunshine~" Mimi quips when she appears. Mr. Kaiba's eyes are bloodshot and his hair is disheveled.

"Tee-hee." Kaiba retorts, not in the mood for witty banter first thing in the morning. His voice rasps in his throat. "Need coffee. Where can I get some?"

Mimi glances at the unused machine, then back to Mr. Kaiba. She slowly starts to point at it--

"I can't use that damn thing and I'm too damn tired to figure it out right now, okay?! Just tell me where the nearest goddamn café is!" He snaps.

"Whoa, buddy. Big feelings. Okay, give me a second."

Not long after she says that, she pins the location of Honeycombs, a popular rooftop cafe. Seto gets dressed, fixes his hair so it looks presentable, and wastes no more time in heading over there.

He orders a Black Eye [black coffee topped w/ 2 espresso shots] and a croissant. After the first sip of the piping hot elixir, he already starts to feel a little more human, and a far less cranky one at that! He closes his eyes and sighs as the warmth of the drink eases every muscle in his body.

When his eyes open again, someone is standing in front of his table. So much for peace and quiet, he thinks.

"Can I help you?" He asks monotonously.

[millenniumdueled]

Without another moment's hesitation, the Other Yugi races forward. His heart pounds in his ears as he skids down the steep embankment to the canyon below.

It's impossible.

That can't be Yugi standing there inside that ring of rocks and ruins.

There's just no way.

His soul is gone, sealed by the Orichalcos.

But the Other One keeps going. His feet find the solid ground of the canyon, and he takes off running. The Puzzle beats against his chest along with his heart.

"Partner--!!!" he cries out again.

As he nears the circles, his pace slows. That uneasy sensation he'd felt before turns into something more like dread. A chill runs through him, despite the hot, dry air. Something seems to tug at his arms and clothes, like cold hands trying to hold him back. Overhead, the oppressive sunlight turns to dark clouds that roll in suddenly with a rumble of thunder.

The Other Yugi puts a hand around the Puzzle's chain, gripping it tightly as he continues in spite of the hands that try to stop him. But he doesn't run now, walking cautiously but firmly toward the figure inside those circles.

Voices fill his ears.

"Look at what you've done, Pharaoh," growls the deep voice of Marik, the dark side of him that Other Yugi once fought.

Those hands that try to hold him back take shape now. The ghosts of his past enemies rise from the sand to block his path.

Pegasus. The ventriloquist. Strings. Arcana. Kaiba.

All the classmates he'd inflicted with insanity, blindness, nightmares, even death.

They all stare him down now.

"Monster."

"Sadist."

"Murderer."

The Other Yugi tears his arm from their grap, setting his jaw and clutching the Puzzle as he marches forward, through the ghosts that stand before him.

"You're no king. You're nothing but a wicked, vengeful, coward," a spectral Weevil sneers.

But the Pharaoh walks through him too.

Now that he can see the figure waiting for him clearly, nothing can stop him.

Let those ghosts tell him what he already knows. Maybe they're right. Maybe he is prideful and selfish. Maybe there is darkness in his heart. Maybe that's why he's still reaching out for the Partner he might not deserve. If he's so selfish, why shouldn't he?

As he steps foot inside the first of those circles carved in the sand, the ghosts disappear. But the man waiting in the center of the ruins does not.

"Partner..." the Paraoh gasps, standing before him now. "Is it really you...?"

"why did you come here, other me?" Yugi's doesn't sound excited to see his other half. There's only disappointment in his violet red eyes.

"I wanted to see you, I-- I needed. To see you--" He reaches out, tries to take his Partner in his arms, just to pass through another ghost.

"see what? this hollow form?" Yugi asks with a voice tinged in sorrow.

Other Yugi chokes down a dry sob once again. "Partner, please. I don't know what's right or wrong or even real anymore. When you were with me, I knew kindness and compassion. The world was beight and beautiful, but without you, it-- I feel so empty."

Yugi doesn't speak.

"Please, I need you! I don't know what to do, I. If I keep fighting, I'll only hurt more people. I can't Duel without taking a life, but I can't sit back and let Doma destroy the world, either!!"

He wants to cry, seeing the way Yugi looks away from him, still silent.

"I'm scared, Partner," he chokes. "I'm scared of hurting, I'm scared of losing, I'm scared of knowing who I really am!! I'm scared to unlock my memories, I'm scared to--"

"is this why you wanted to see me so bad?" Yugi cuts him off sharply.

"Partner--"

"just to bitch and whine? you never even asked if i'm okay."

The realization hits Other Yugi with a start. His stomach drops.

"I-I'm sorry. I--"

"you really are selfish. you say you need me, but what about what i need? i needed you, too. i trusted you. with my body, heart, and soul. and you played that card anyway! you were only thinking about yourself, just like now."

The Other Yugi doesn't respond now. He just stares helplessly as his better half turns away from him.

"i knew this day would come eventually. i used to dream of dueling you, but i always thought it would be as friends," Yugi says sadly. He walks away from his Other Self, to the edge of the center circle. As he finally turns back to face the Other, a DuelDisk appears on his left arm.

"Partner, you don't-- You don't have to do this, We don't--"

"yes. i do. if darkness has really taken over your heart, then i don't really have a choice. i have to defeat you, and take it as a farewell between you and me. we can both die, separate forever."

"I don't want to fight you, please. We don't have to do this!" Though he pleads, the Other finds himself reluctantly readying his own DuelDisk.

"duel, start."

What Your Favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! Ship Says About You

Okay so I was listening to Doubleca5t’s videos-check him out if you haven’t done so, and then my mind went to:okay but ygo.

So here it is.  What your favorite yugioh ship says about you.  Warning:  You may find yourself feeling absolutely called out and attacked by the following statements.  I will not apologize.

All the Yami/Hikari Pairings (Yugi/Yami Yugi, Malik/Yami Malik, Ryou Bakura/Yami Bakura):You’re just here for some yaoi.

Puppyshipping (Seto Kaiba/Jonouchi):You like belligerent sexual tension.  You just do.

Seto Kaiba/Anzu Mazaki:Your ideal relationship dynamic is Beauty and the Beast. 

Jonouchi Katsuya/Anzu Mazaki:Your ideal relationship dynamic is sitcom wife sitcom husband. 

Jonouchi/Honda:Your ideal relationship dynamic is two bros chilling in a hot tub.

Mai/Vivian Wong:You want a girl who not only can kick your ass but will do so upon request. 

Jonouchi/Otogi:You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of dog-related nicknames.  In hindsight, this also applies to puppyshipping, but that’d be too obvious a joke.

Kisara/Seto Kaiba:You are a firm believer that this is the natural conclusion of Kaiba’s dragon fetish.

Sennenshipping (The Seven Sennen Items.  Yes.): You are way too deep into crack.

Dragonshipping (Jonouchi/Yami no Yuugi) :In a world where everyone runs from a challenge, you are the rare person who runs towards it.   When everyone else has finished their fight, you press onward, never stopping.  For you, no mountain is too high, no river is too deep, you have made a commitment to your community and done what so many others could only dream of; you are the few, the proud THE MANGA READERS

BBQshipping (Yami no Yugi x fire, yes fire):You just like watching Yami set people on fire.  Which he does in the manga. A lot.

Tendershipping (Ryou Bakura/Yami Bakura):You have not read the manga.

Protectshipping (Honda/Ryou) :You just wanted good things for Ryou, and really, who wouldn’t?

Peachshipping (Anzu/Yugi):You’re a sucker for cinnamon rolls, too good for this world, too pure.

Sealshipping (Atem/Mahaad): You’re a sucker for servant/royalty relationships.

Rebecca/Mokuba:You are a sucker for cute sweet nerd kid crushes.  Fluffy and wholesome.

Darkshipping (Yami Bakura/Yami Yugi):You’re a sucker for enemies to lovers.

Heartshipping (Yugi/Ryou): okay this is just the same joke for peachshipping, but like even more so. Alternatively:Your ideal relationship dynamic is two gamer nerds nerding out together.

Chaseshipping (Honda/Otogi):You believe love triangles are best resolved by ignoring the axis. 

Toonshipping (Seto Kaiba/Pegasus) :You like mind game ships.

Prideshipping:Looking back at your childhood, you can pinpoint Seto Kaiba as the beginning of your crippling addiction to edgy boys who have trouble talking about their feelings, or he may not have started your addiction, but he did not help.

Roseshipping (Cecelia/Pegasus) : You are Pegasus.

Puzzleshipping (Yugi/Yami Yugi):You could recite every line of dialogue from the “I want to be with you forever” scene from memory.  Also, you were either traumatized by the ending of the show and are now in heavy denial, or you’re too afraid to watch it and still haven’t seen it, cowards.

[bum-scum]

-----

It was hot.

Well, perfect intimately hot.

Yugi panted and moaned, her hands gripping on the thick blankets, pulling and tugging them as Kaiba thrust into her from behind.

"Yugi...fuck!"

She moaned as she felt those big strong hands holding her hips perfectly. It was like Kaiba's hands were made for her body.

Feeling them slide up to touch and massage her breasts, thumbs swipping and rubbing in circles on her nipples.

"Seto...ah, more. Please, more!"

The feeling of his cock inside, in and out with each thrust, sent wonderful pleasure throughout her body. She loved the way Kaiba would thrust deep and slowly pull out to drag on the pleasure. A little tease for the upcoming climax that was about to build up.

But tonight Yugi wanted more. She wanted Kaiba to go hard.

Rough,

Deep,

Fast.

She wanted him to go wild on her. For many times he had been gentle, caring and passionate. Now she wanted Kaiba to go feral.

"Ah, fuck...Ah, Seto please! Go harder!"

"Harder?"

"Yes! Please...Go deep, hard."

Yugi growled when Kaiba stopped his thrusting turning her head in confusion, she saw Kaiba's concerned look.

"Are you sure? I dont want to hurt you."

Yugi laughed and smiled sweetly at him.

"Oh please, I wouldnt be sure if I didnt ask, Kaiba. Trust me. Now, go hard, please. I want you to go rough and deep. I want to feel it all."

Yugi wiggled her hips, making them both gasp as she felt Kaiba's still cock inside, throbbing.

"Dont be complaining afterwards that you cant sit properly for a week."

Things started back to where they left off, His hands massaged and squeezed her breasts feeling his thrusts from behind.

Until...

One thrust shoved in deep, making Yugi gasp, and her body jolting forward on the bed.

"Kaiba..." She gasped. Waiting for another hard thrust.

It happened again and again. Continuing the onslaught. Hands left her breasts and gripped the headboard of the bed, thrusting hard and rough.

Yugi tilting her hips up, her backside up higher, feeling Kaiba's hips slapping against her, feeling him deeper.

"Oh, yes! Like that! Ah, Seto!"

Her moans became loud and promising, feeling the hot rippling pleasure scortching her body on fire.

"Fuck...Yugi...oh god, yes." Hearing Kaiba moaning above her, drove her into the bliss.

Their moans mingled loud and clear.

His hands leaving the headboard and gripping the bedsheet, his thrusts becoming erratic, making the bed shift and the headboard hit the wall.

They were getting close and she could feel that coiling sensation in her body coming up. Coming in fast and confident.

"Oh fuck, Seto, oh Seto...Seto...AH! KAIBA!" Her climax surfaced, hitting all over her in one burst stream. Feeling Kaiba riding the powerful feeling longer before she felt him hit his own peak, too. Lengthing both of their highs before coming down low.

Their last feelings of their intimate energy was spent on passionately kissing, wet smacks of their lips touching after their intense lovemaking.

"You look beautiful eachtime I do this to you." Yugi smiled, her hand finding Kaiba's, linking their fingers together.

"And you look sexy eachtime you do it." She replied, feeling Kaiba's soft lips on hers.

Seprating, she snuggled up close to Kaiba. Her head and face snug comfortably on his chest. Kaiba's stong arms wrapped around her in a loving embrace, hands rubbing up and down her back soothing her to sleep.

"I love you." Yugi said. Closing her eyes.

"I know you do..." Kaiba looked down at his sleeping beauty.

"And I love you, too, beautiful."

Dandelion - What herb are you?

You grew up too fast and all you know is the calluses on your fists and the thousand invisible scars that you pretend don't ache. Your anger burns so bright, so hot or maybe not at all, so deep you could never tell it was there. You are yours and you will defend that to the death after so many years of being ripped apart and denied your own agency and maybe you are still facing the bastards who stole your innocence but you will survive because that's the only thing you know how to do without breaking, the only thing you know besides protect, protect, protect, protect, yourself or sometimes those few others you claim as yours. You are a thousand sharp edges but impenetrable, a traumatized child so covered by thorny armor that you promised yourself you're grown now, you're stronger than anyone who has ever hurt you. You're safe. Nothing will ever hurt you again. You're so alone though sometimes, in a world that sees you as too much or too broken or too angry or too hurt, and you want to scream with the too-much of it, prove that you're okay, that you're self-reliant, that you are strong enough to stake your claim on your body, on your mind, on your heart, on your people, and protect it from any who dare take it away from you. You are the sea in tempest, a howling sky, a tsunami in motion, a force of nature, no matter how much you sometimes yearn to be still, to be safe, to be small. You are a dandelion, stubborn and determined to grow in the rockiest of soil, and bloom again in spring.

[It kind of shook me how accurate this is. It's a little vague in some parts to be general towards a wider audience, but I see it. This stands. I'm posting my own results under the cut.] Tagged but not really by @my-ohh-mai !

[ Mint

The world is a puzzle, so complex and multifaceted that you long to run your hands through the tapestry of its wonders and stay there forever, lost in the threads and colors and stories. You wish to stay there forever and you tell yourself it's to know the world but maybe it's not, maybe it's a fear that you're not enough, that you're so fragile and helpless in a world that moves too fast, to sharply, too many bright, painful colors that you stay locked inside your mind and thoughts, where you decide the tempo of your world, where you can grow and be as competent, as capable as you want, where the world is as wide as you can imagine it and never out of control unless you want it to be. Your shield is your knowledge, your mind, and you never feel ready enough for the world around you, never feel prepared enough, never safe, and you wonder if things could have been different, if you could have been better, happier, more like everyone else if you'd just known what you know now.

I also got a result about wanting to be loved because I couldn't choose between two different answers, and I do sometimes feel that, but I also staunchly believe that self-love should always come before external love. External love is not a replacement for the love we feel for ourselves and I feel even Seto Kaiba is a good example of that. He's got a big ego, but when he's on top of the world, winning, showing the world everything he's got, you bet your fourth rate deck he loves himself. Loving yourself should not be dependent on your performance, my dear Seto, but that's a conversation for another time. Even though I struggle with self-care, self-love, self confidence, I will always be of the mind that the love received from others is more of a great bonus than a way to heal from my own wounds and traumas. Even if my heart desperately wants it to be otherwise. (I've already been through trying. It doesn't work. Don't be like me.)

My result is giving Yugi, anyway. Make of that what you will.

I always wonder if Seto and I could be friends. I wonder if he'd like me. If our personalities would clash. This is an interesting thought experiment, though, no? ]

YGO AU Leviathan Rising

Chapter 30 Renewal

New life emerges and new bonds are forged. After being freed form the Orichalcos' control Dartz's mind was finally clear enough to see and understand the horrors of his actions. He was beside himself with guilt over his what he'd done and even though he knew he could never truly be forgiven for what he did he still apologized profusely to both Yugi and Yami. The pair assured Dartz they did forgive him and that they held no animosity towards him. With the support of both Iron Heart and Chris Dartz new it was time to move on and finally rest. With one final wave they bid farewell to the ancient royalty of Atlantis, and Yugi and Yami both walked into bright light of the portal to return to their own world.

The sun was bright and orange as it was rising in the distance; the sound of the ocean could be heard as the waves pulled away form the shoreline. Yugi's black shoes were touching the water while the rest of his body lay limp on the hot sand. His orchid eyes fluttered open as Yugi could hear the sounds of the sea behind him. He slowly sat up and got a good look at his surroundings.

He remembered what happened not too long ago; just as Joey and Kaiba had left Atlantis through a portal Yugi was stopped by an injured and broken Leviathan. Yami Yugi had offered to take on all of the evil god's wrath and emotions all of the evil the being held. Yami screamed in pain as he endured the pain on his own only for Yugi to step in and help him by holding onto him and sharing that same pain with him. Together they managed to vanquish what evils the god had inside of his heart but it came at the price of Leviathan now no longer a being fuelled by hatred and rage disappearing.

Yugi remembered holding Leviathan in his arms hoping, begging the god to hold on, but with Leviathan's smile and touch to his cheek the great beast was gone. For there was no need for him to exist as he once was. Love had saved him but also destroyed him. Yugi felt tears well up in his eyes as he looked out at the ocean before him, it was so large so isolating...

“It's going to be okay...” Yami Yugi soon appeared beside Yugi his arms crossed as he too looked out at the ocean then he turned to Yugi and smiled gently. “You did the right thing.”

Yugi sniffled and rubbed his eyes with his sleeves giving a nod, but he didn't really feel better. He knew it was good Levi was no long a prisoner of rage and hate but it didn't help that now Yugi lost a good friend. “I...I just wish...we...that he didn't have to-”

Yami could feel it, all of Yugi's complex emotions where being shared over their newly re-bonded link. He wasn't sure what to say he truly did want Yugi to feel better and not be afraid to let go. He wanted him to express his emotions but he knew Yugi quite well. He knew he'd try and keep it to himself. It was funny how Yugi not long ago told him to not carry burdens all on your own but here he was willing to carry his own burdens all alone.

He wanted to call Yugi out on his irony but then he felt something...He turned his head towards the further side of the shoreline.

“Yugi...” Yami spoke cautiously to get the boy's attention. Yugi again rubbed his eyes and looked up at the spirit before noticing where his attention was facing. Yugi looked in same direction the other Yugi was facing and he too could feel it

..someone was there.

Yugi walked down the shoreline ignoring the waves that would come up and slash against his boots and pant legs. He started to see a humanoid shape laying face down in the sand and picked up his pace turning his walk into a full blown sprint. He was worried this may have been another person who might have washed up on shore and needed help!

As he got closer to the shape more details started to become clearer; it was a young man with dark blue hair, a dark blue cape covered the rest of his body expect for his boots that shared the same colour as his cape. Yugi stopped just in front of the shape and got down on his knees to better inspect the person.

“He-hello? Are you okay?” Yugi put his hand on the person's shoulder and gave a small shake to try and stir them awake. He got no response and it worried him more, so he tried to shake them again he decided to try and turn them on their back to hopefully help them breathe better. Once he did manage to turn the body over Yugi let out a gasp as he could see their face and rest of their body now.

He couldn't believe his eyes it was Leviathan!

“No way...it can't be!” Yugi's mouth hung open before he put his hand over it to keep himself form shouting again.

Yami couldn't believe it also, he saw the god vanish as well! But here he was in front of them in flesh and blood.

Levi did look almost as he did before; Black fire-like hair, teal blue bangs over his black crown like head piece, his signature forked blue and purple tail with teal spikes but his outfit was a bit different. He had the long dark blue cape, with light blue robes tied with a thin rope like belt. There was a magenta coloured gem that tied the rope together, dark blue finger less gloves  that matched his tights, knee high boots with belts.

Levi started to stir as his eyes started to open slightly, the light form the sun made it hard for him to see at first. As his eyes opened wider all he could see was white light. Yugi watched as his golden yellow eyes started to focus so he spoke.

“Le-Levi? Is it...is it really you?” Yugi's voice was cracking a bit as Leviathan's eyes finally adjusted enough to make out the face of his closest friend looking down at him with an expression of worry.

“Yu-Yugi?” Levi's voice was a weak as he slowly sat up, Yugi nodded as he helped to support him putting a hand on his back to steady him better.

“Yes! It's me!” Yugi shouted with tears running down his face “Is.. is this real? Are you really here!?”

Leviathan's face matched Yugi's expression as he too nodded and placed a hand on Yugi's cheek rubbing away a few tears for him.

“I'm really here...” Levi smiled warmly watching as Yugi threw himself onto Levi in a full embrace.

Yugi was crying and smiling and laughing all at once, he was a bundle of emotions at the moment and squeezed the god - former god- tightly in an embrace, one he didn't ever want to end. Leviathan leaned closely into Yugi's hug he wanted to feel every part of it the contact and sound of Yugi's beating heart filling his own heart with warmth and life.

“It can not be...” a new voice appeared behind them now making all three turn towards the source. Floating behind them where the three legendary knights and Dark Magician Girl, the 4 monsters stared in disbelief as they looked down upon the two solid figures and one ethereal being before them. They knew of Yugi and Pharaoh's spirit of course but this new figure felt...different. It finally hit Timeaus the moment he looked into the new beings eyes, those same golden inhuman looking eyes.

By instinct Timeaus took the hilt of his blade ready to draw it for attack, he knew who this new figure was and he was not going to allow him to live.

He snarled “God of the Orochalcos! I'll strike you down once and for all!”

Yugi by his own instinct stood in front of Leviathan putting himself between them, holding his arms out and shouting to the knight.

“No! Stop it! Don't hurt him!”

Timeaus did stop only for his master but still he was confused “Master! Do you not realize who this is?!”

“The God of the Orichalcos has resurrected once again!” Critias spoke next his own hand ready by his sword.

“Stand aside and allow us to finish the work! We cannot allow him to grow in power again!” Hermos added.

“I know who he is! But that's not WHO he is anymore!” Yugi shouted to all three monsters who towered over him but he wasn't going to back down.

“Yugi is right! Do not lay a hand on him! The beast you once knew no longer exists!” Yami stood beside Yugi now his arms crossed and staring up at them as defiantly as he always did.

All three knights looked down upon the two boys as they all stood their ground to each other; Dark Magician Girl looked between them then towards the new being now known as Levi. She too felt skeptical of their clams, this was the great beast that just not too long ago tried to destroy them all in a great battle. How could her young master think that now that he'd changed shape he could be trusted?

“Everyone deserves a second chance! How can expect anyone to change and grow if all you do is bring up their past!” Yugi shouted, Yami's eyes flashed slightly as he remembered his own mistake that brought them here to begin with but he was ready to finally move on and pass this same knowledge to his new friend.

“Anyone can change. I know it's difficult to believe but I know Levi has changed, and I want him to have a fair chance to be who he wishes to be!” Yami kept his eyes focused on Timeaus the most who still held skepticism towards their clam.

Levi now come forward putting a hand on Yugi's shoulder as reassurance before he moved past the boy and now stood before the monsters himself. All 4 monsters looked down with contempt towards the small being whom them knew was a reincarnation of a great evil.

“Yugi, Pharaoh, I am eternally grateful for your support and defence of me, but the actions of my past cannot be forgotten. I was a monster once a being created by the anger and pain this world suffered, all I knew was rage and destruction. Humans meant nothing to me, life meant nothing to me, all I wanted to whip out all life and devour all light.”

Leviathan's words were stern and truthful as they fell upon the judgment of the four monsters, Yugi was looking towards Leviathan he then looked down a little as Levi continued.

“That was all I knew, but then something changed. Yugi came into my life and at first I only meant to use him to further my plans, but as time had gone on I learned what friendship meant...what love meant...I was so consumed by the new of this new emotion I felt I needed more of it and I was convinced only Yugi could give it to me. No one had ever shown me kindness like Yugi did...”

Leviathan's eyes softened as he looked back at Yugi and took his hand gently and gave it a squeeze. Yugi returned the soft look and gave a squeeze back standing by his side.

“But I was wrong...ALL humans have the capacity for this shared kindness anyone is capable of both giving and reserving love.” Levi then looked towards Yami who also smiled and placed a hand on Levi's shoulder encouraging him more.

“And so I am truly sorry for everything I did before...And with my new life I'd like to ask you a favour... ” Leviathan swallowed hard and gave Yugi's hand one more squeeze before speaking.

“I wish to become a knight like you three.”

The air was tense with shock and emotion; none of the four monsters expected this to come form the young Leviathan's mouth. Was he serious? Did he really wish to join their knighthood?

“Please...I know it's difficult to trust me, but I wish to protect not only my new friendships but the human world as a whole...I want to protect the good in people's hearts, I want to see new lives shine and discover the wounder I felt the moment I realized how much love really means to me...”

Yugi's heart was full of emotion, he didn't know this was what Levi really wanted to do with his new life to become a protector of humanity rather then a destroyer. He knew he always had it in him and now he'd have a chance to do so.

The four monsters looked among each other trying to judge if this was something they could accept; Dark Magician Girl looked at Yami Yugi who smiled watching Leviathan and keeping his hand on his shoulder, she too smiled and closed her eyes. Timeaus too looked at all three of the boys and how strongly their bonds where with each other. Bonds are every important to a knight, brotherhood and friendship keep a team together and no doubt the great be- no Leviathan seems to have discovered what that really means.

He didn't even have to say a thing as his expression said it all to his fellow knights who all nodded in agreement.

“Leviathan...I speak for all of us went I say we would proudly accept you as a knight in training among us.”

Leviathan's eyes widened as he looked up in both shock and joy, tears ran down his cheeks as Yugi's smile widened and he grabbed Leviathan by the shoulders before throwing his arms around his person and hugged him. Levi returned the gesture hugging Yugi and spinning him around in excitement.

“Thank You! Thank you so much! I promise I will become the best knight I can!”

All three knights nodded and watch as the boys happily celebrated this new achievement, Yami watched proudly and looked back towards Timeaus who gave him a soft nod. Dark Magician Girl giggled a little as she enjoyed watching them act so silly, but soon it was time for this celebration to end for it was time for them to leave.

“Come Leviathan, it's time for us to return and for you to begin your training.” Timeaus said, making Yugi and Levi stop and look up.

“You have to go already?” Yugi asked.

The knights nodded “Our time in this realm is limited and we must return to our world now.” Hermos answered.

“The rift that had brought us here has been opened for far too long, we must return to keep the barrier stable.” Critas added.

Timeaus nodded and spoke “And Leviathan must begin his training immediately, he has much to learn after all.”

Levi looked down then towards Yugi with a soft but sad smile. “Well..I guess this is it then...”

Yugi shut his eyes and hugged Levi tightly “Yeah...I knew it was coming but...I guess I'd hoped you could stay longer...”

“Me too but...the road of knighthood awaits!” Leviathan gave Yugi a kiss on his cheek and slowly pulled away form him.

“Yugi...no matter where you go in life, no matter how much time passes, you will always be with me and I will always love you.” Leviathan smiled warmly as Yugi returned to kiss on his opposite cheek.

“I wont forget you either Levi...our bond is so strong it will reach other worlds! And when you do become a knight I'll be waiting to meet you again...” Yugi let out a tired sigh before giving him one more smile.

Yami looked on sadly as he watched the two embrace, his heart felt heavy not only to having to say good bye but it once again returning to his mind that one day... Yami was shook form his mind by the touch of Levi's hands around his ethereal form he was giving him a hug.

“I didn't forget about you Pharaoh! I'm going to miss you too...” Levi's voice was cracking as Yami put his around around Levi as well and returned the embrace.

“Though we may go down separate paths, I will always treasure our friendship, Leviathan I know you will make and excellent knight!” Yami let a single tear run down his cheek as he tried to keep himself form crying too much.

“Goodbye, Leviathan...”

Leviathan finally let go and slowly walked towards the other knights, he softly jumped up and started to float towards them, Dark Magician Girl embraced Levi in her arms before she took Levi's hand and waved at Yugi and Yami.

“Thank You Masters!” She said as all five monsters started to fly towards the orange sky where the aurora that would take them back to the duel monsters world hung. Levi looked back sadly and turned slightly to give Yugi and Yami one more wave before they entered the aurora and disappeared.

The pair waved back as they watched the five monsters vanish into the sky, Yugi still had tears treating in the corners of his eyes but he whipped them away before softly saying.

“Goodbye...Levi...”
