Chapter Text
Yugi was completely frozen.
His mind went blank at the sight of the girl curled up at the base of his bed scrolling through her phone. She was unabashed, looking completely comfortable as she scrolled through her photos from the day’s prior events. She wore her favorite fuzzy slippers and a lazy grin on her face, resting languidly on top of her body pillow without a care in the world.
It was as if she belonged there.
The teenaged boy blushed furiously at the thought and shuffled his feet, contemplating on whether or not he should say something. Somehow, he mustered up the courage to address her.
” Um, (Y/N)? Are you sure you’re comfortable down there? You can totally take the bed if you want.” Yugi offered shakily. It was truly confounding that the two had been friends for so long and she never failed to leave him floundering. So effortlessly too!
Her eyes flickered up to his violet ones and she grinned politely at her friend’s thoughtfulness. “I’m fine Yugi, thanks for asking. This is your room and besides, it’s pretty cozy down here.” She assured him.
His heart hammered against his ribcage at the sight of her smile and he briefly wondered why he had agreed to having a sleepover alone with his crush. Not only had he agreed, but he had suggested that they have it over at his grandpa’s game shop! Stupid!
Suddenly, the boy felt slight feelings of mirth traveling to him through his mindlink from the ancient spirit with whom he shared his body. He scowled, mentally telling his Yami to knock it off. Couldn’t he see that he was freaking out right now?
” You okay Yugi?” (Y/N) asked, suspiciously eyeing the frown on her best friend’s face.
Yugi jolted in shock at the interruption before placing his hand behind his neck and laughing nervously. “I-I’m okay!” He asserted a bit too quickly to be considered true.
(Y/N) laughed and shook her head, deciding not to press the matter. She laid her head atop her pillow and pulled her comforter over her. She casted a somnolent smile towards her friend.
” Goodnight Yugi.”
The boy gulped, hoping that he’d manage to at least bid her a good night without screwing it up.
”Goodnight (Y/N).”
