"Yugi hates puns," Joey cracked up, taking a seat in front of the beef bento that Yugi had put out for him.

"Well, he will have to endure them. I refuse to give up my birthright as the king of puns."

"I am dating a stupid," Yugi hissed, breathing hard once and scowling.

"You are very emotionally abusive. I am questioning my choice of partner."

"Puns. Suck."

"Pun Bowl begins tomorrow and lasts until Valentine's Day," Bakura announced, smirking widely. "Fourteen days, Yugi, fourteen days."

"Unless someone so chooses to continue the challenge until the twenty-eighth."

"Yugi is going to be a bona fide serial killer by the end of the week," Joey laughed, nearly in tears.

"All it is takes is someone dethroning me to end it," Yami stated, shooting Yugi a sideways glance.

Yugi narrowed his eyes. "This month sucks," he growled. "Nothing good ever happens in it."

"...Well, I was born the sixth-"

"Nothing. Good. Ever. Happens. In. It," Yugi snapped viciously, huffing and glaring at his tray of food. "Nothing."

Joey and Bakura both cringed when Yami blinked and gave him an incredibly hurt look. He slumped slightly, looking at his tray dejectedly and looking completely unhappy. Both brown-eyed boys started scarfing their food down while the red-eyed teen poked at his lunch with that same sullen expression.

"Well, uh...hey, at least this year you do have a valentine," the blond cut in, clearing his throat awkwardly.

Yugi blinked a few times and looked up. "I do?" he asked with wide eyes, excited but a little dubious.

Yami flinched harshly and scooted away slightly towards the edge of his seat and bumped knees with his cousin. The silver-haired teen glanced at the other boy and looked back towards Yugi, shaking his head faintly.

"Yugi," Joey murmured, gawking and nearly choking on the mouthful of food he formerly had in his mouth.

"What?" the smaller boy asked in confusion.

Joey gestured towards Yami and the other boy looked over, paling drastically. "Oh! Oh my gods! I didn't-Oh!"

"And now we know just who is more invested inthis relationship," Bakura murmured under his breath. Yami cringed and recoiled away from him, gawking momentarily. Yugi stared for a moment and then grabbed his bento tray, turning towards him and dumping it over the silver-haired boy's head. Bakura turned his head and stared at him murderously, baring his teeth.

Yami couldn't help it when he burst out laughing, covering his mouth while Yugi glared at his cousin viciously.

"Shut up, asshole! I was still thinking aboutpuns!" Yugi spat angrily, narrowing his eyes into slits. He lowered his voice into a vicious whisper, sulking. "Puns. Puns. I fucking hate puns. I hate puns. Goddamn puns."

"You are so lucky you're cute or you wouldn'tmake it to his seventeenth," Bakura snarled softly.

"Puns. Fucking p-" He stopped short for a moment. "There's a birthday coming up?"

Yami blinked twice and Bakura pressed his face into his palm, sighing loudly and shaking his head just as Joey did the same.

"Wait...whose birthday is it?" he asked excitedly, eyes wide as Yami awkwardly raised his hand and stared between them. "Really? Your birthday is coming up? When, when, when?"

Yami tilted his head. Had he really just missed all of what he had said? "...Friday...?"

"Really?" Yugi asked, sitting up with bright eyes and smiling widely. He paused for a moment, tilting his head before beaming happily. Birthday cake! "Well, then I guess February does have something good that happened in it."

Yami glanced at Joey, completely bewildered. The taller boy shrugged, muttering, "Told you he hates puns."

Bakura picked some food out of his hair and started putting the bento back on the tray that Yugi had left in front of him when he had dumped the food on him.

"Hell, you probably won't make it to your seventeenth anyways, Yami."

"Shut up, you," Yugi snapped, huffing and then glancing at the table. He took in Yami's food for a moment and glanced at the other boy to see if he was looking. The red-eyed teen glanced at him just as he stole a piece of bento from him and popped it into his mouth. "I can take a few puns."

"A few? Ha!" Joey laughed out loud, reaching forward to clap Yami's shoulder. "You won't make it to the end of the month, Yugi! This boy here is going to be throwing out as many puns as possible if he wants to keep his title. He'll beshitting puns soon enough."

Yugi turned his head and gave Yami a blank look, pupils completely distorted for a moment, glassy. "I...I make no promises but I'll try not to kill you before your birthday."

The taller look-alike awkwardly stared at him. "And...afterwards?"

He shook his head slowly, narrowing his eyes. "No, just no."

Bakura howled with laughter and covered his mouth, nearly crying. Yugi chewed his cheek and Joey snickered. "Sorry dude. You might want to buy a shit load of wine or something so you can get him drunk and lose your v-card because you really won't make it past your birthday."

"...Well...this is awkward..."
