Summary
This is my little entry for the Conspireshipping Secret Santa event, 2023.
This is a bit of tendershipping wintertime fluff.
“Come on!”
“No.” There was a pause. “Oh, fuck right off with the pouting.”
“Is it working, though?”
“...No.”
“Pleeeeeeaaaaase? It’s so nice out!”
“Not it’s not, it’s fucking cold.” Another pause. A judgemental look down. “That’s the only reason you even got me into this monstrosity. It ends there.”
“Except it doesn’t. People need to see!”
“Lies.” A pause, then a deep, soul weary sigh.
“I’ll get your scarf!” A beaming smile.
“....I hate you so much.”

Summary
One night while dealing with a clingy fan, Yugi learns several things in rapid succession:
1) Marik's dark half is nowhere near as dead (or as evil) as he'd thought,
2) Ryou has a very good taste in secret boyfriends, and
3) Sometimes you can find new employees in the weirdest places."Deal with obnoxious reporters, play games with my friends, dance the night away, and maybe pretend to date me a bit if your boyfriend doesn't mind sharing" is a completely normal job description for bodyguard work, right?
