DISCLAIMER: *Sigh* Do I really have to say it…?

RATED: G. Wow that's a first, for a Yu-Gi-Oh story--especially if it's shounen ai.

Anyway, I know this is a bit early for Valentine's Day, but you people at FanFiction.net wanted it, so… Here's another repeat offending fluffy Jou x Yugi fic! Yay! :D Also, I got this idea when I rested my head against my computer looking at fanfics. My evil creations are inspired by the most innocent of things. Enjoy!

"Aaargh! I got it wrong again! Undo! Undo!" Yugi Mutou screamed as he made another error on his PhotoShop canvas. It was February 12th, and he was extremely frustrated with his new project--a picture of himself and his friend, Jounouchi.

It would be difficult for the left-brainer to understand why Yugi was in a hissy crying fit over a silly picture. Honestly, it meant a lot to this boy, for it was a Valentine's Day present for Jounouchi. In it, the two were smiling and embracing. A text in the upper-left-hand corner read, "Jounouchi, I wish you a happy Valentine's Day. You mean a lot to me." The lower-right-hand corner was signed, "Love, Yugi Mutou." He had meant to give it to him when finished, in hopes that they could be more than friends.

Yugi sighed in exhaustion. "It's hopeless…" He slumped in front of the screen. 'I guess I'm not really a good artist after all. And even if I was, Jounouchi would probably freak out at this picture. He'd laugh at me, or say he doesn't want to be my friend anymore…' "Perhaps I should quit while I'm ahead. I don't want to ruin our friendship…" The tri-colored-haired teenager yawned and closed his eyes slowly…

*****

"Hi, is Yugi home?" Jounouchi said as he casually entered the game shop.

"Yes, but he's sleeping," Yugi's grandfather, Sugoroku answered.

"Well… Can I just see him anyway…?" the golden-haired boy used those adorable puppy dog eyes--which Yugi had taught him how to use--on the old man.

One look at those adorably enlarged amber irises melted Sugoroku. "Alright… But don't be loud!"

"Arigatou!" Jounouchi was already hurrying up the stairs. He seemed unusually ecstatic…

After he entered Yugi's bedroom, the taller boy's heart accelerated at the sight of his best friend, sound asleep. Yugi just looked so adorable… Sweet… And innocent… Like a harmless little baby. Sometimes Jounouchi had thought of him that way--like someone soft and delicate, and wouldn't even harm a fly.

But then again, Yugi could be bold. And Jounouchi just saw such boldness when he curiously studied the computer screen. 'Oh, Yugi… that's so beautiful… and thoughtful.' The scanned drawing with CG colors dazzled his eyes. He smiled at the smaller boy in repose. 'You're so good, Yugi-kun. And look at us--we're hugging! So this is the picture that you were drawing in class but didn't want me to see!'

Jounouchi gently played with assorted sections of Yugi's hair as he saved the present canvas and opened a new one. 'And I'm so glad that I mean a lot to you.' He guided the mouse in various directions. In a few minutes, Jounouchi's project was complete. He whispered in Yugi's ear, "I'm glad that you have a crush on me, too." Jounouchi kissed his companion's cheek and went downstairs to leave the game shop.

*****

About two hours later, Yugi awoke and stretched his arms out. He could hear Sugoroku say, "Jounouchi was here." Nearby. Yugi noticed that the screen was black, but his computer was still on. "Really, Jii-chan?"

"He was in here, you know," Sugoroku answered, pointing towards the floor to indicate the present place. "I let him in, though you don't like it when people come in your room without your permission…" He chuckled.

Yugi turned bright red. What if Jounouchi had seen his drawing? Would the two remain friends--or would Yugi be mortified beyond his years? Or, would Jounouchi respond positively to Yugi's emotions? Not like that would ever happen…

A small hand apprehensively pushed the mouse to be rid of the darkness on the screen. Yugi's heart throbbed harder with each motion, though it was only one small one. A trickle of sweat ran down his temple.

The teen jumped out of his seat when the screen awoke. 'Oh, my God. Jounouchi DEFINITELY saw my picture!' He then reluctantly took a closer look at the project that wasn't his, and felt his lips form into a wide smile. A sloppy pink heart on a white background with a messy blue script that read, "Yugi- I love you, my brilliant artist. -Jounouchi"

Yugi's heart danced at that statement. He could not believe that his own best friend--a male one at that--has replied to his affections.

What was even harder to conceive was that it was a declaration of love--not just a little junior high note stating an infatuation. Jounouchi poured his own heart out for Yugi. And it was quite evident that he did. He had never liked art, yet he made a drawing for him. Plus, by the "my little artist" comment, Jounouchi said that he was pleased with Yugi's picture, despite how nervous he had been about his seeing it.

Suddenly, Yugi realized something. "Jii-chan! You did not just see that!" The spiky-headed young man spun around and made his best attempt to conceal his crush's picture.

"Yugi's got a boyfriend!" Sugoroku taunted.

"I do NOT!"

The old man hopped down the stairs laughing, not caring that his grandson was angrily chasing him.

*****

"Hello?" Jounouchi answered the phone after he reached his house.

"J-Jounouchi…?"

"Hi, Yugi…"

"Um, about that picture…"

"Oh, that…" Jounouchi had an unpleasant feeling in the pit of his stomach, though he was certain that Yugi might have liked his valentine canvas. Was he mad at him for looking at his picture?

"…Thanks."

"Really?!"

"Uh huh. Um… d-do you… want to get together…?" Yugi stammered. Asking to go steady with a crush is like asking Leonardo DiCaprio for directions.

"Sure! I'd love to go out with a famous digital artist!" Jounouchi exclaimed. "But what's that laughing in the background?"

"Jii-chan. He saw what you drew."

"Oh. Heh heh. When are you gonna finish your masterpiece?" Jounouchi asked soothingly.

"Um… definitely two days from now," Yugi giggled.

"Can you make me another one, please? But this time… make us kiss… Or would you rather do it in reality?"

Yugi paused and blushed. "Er… to be honest with you, Jounouchi… I kinda wanna do both…"

Kyahaha! Do you like fluff? If you've just read this whole story, then you should have had! I'm not too proud of this fic, but I was running out of ideas, okay? -_-; It makes you think: Do I write anything other than fluff?! Well, I do, but it turns out pretty badly… >_<

Anyway, to all the PhotoShop users (including myself), I know you can relate to Yugi because using that program is hard! And to all the non-users, you probably can't relate to Yugi, but that program is hard anyway! Happy Mushiest Holiday in the World! ^_^
