They finished eating relatively quickly, if only so that the ice cream didn't melt too much before they could eat it. Afterwards, they packed everything back up and locked it back in the storage compartment, then went right back to sitting on the bench and enjoying the sun that'd come out and the sight granted to them as a result.

"Didn't I say something about sleeping here before?" Judai mused, stretching out a little from where he was leaning on Yusei's shoulder and letting a relaxed sigh escape him, "I could've sworn I did."

"Well, did or didn't, you can sleep now if you want," Yusei replied, pecking his forehead and getting a laugh out of him before turning back to the view, "It is nice weather though... reminds me of that day we went to the Kaiba Dome before that tournament you had there."

"Oh yeah! Man, that was before summer hit, wasn't it?" Judai remembered, perking up as he also remembered, "Hey wait, that's when I mentioned it! We fell asleep there and I said something about finding all the city's hidden napping spots."

"That sounds about right," Yusei agreed, shrugging after a few moments of thinking, "Anyway, did you want to sleep? I don't mind taking a nap, but I need to put a few extra locks on the bike then first."

"Eh... maybe in a bit. I wanna enjoy this more," Judai answered, hugging his arm and turning his head to look up at him with an honest smile, "I like talking with you like this."

Yusei returned the smile, leaning down and stealing another kiss for good measure because he simply couldn't see that scene and not do so - it might as well be a crime to not kiss Judai when he was being cute like that, "I like it, too. So... what're the plans for later today anyway?"

"Starting on the costumes," Judai replied, turning back to the watch the waves in the water while starting to kick at the ground absent-mindedly, "Better to start on them earlier rather than later so I can work out any kinks in them that pop up. I've got the overall designs of both sketched out, but I'm still trying to decide on what I want to do about the wings..."

Yusei hummed, idly moving one leg to press to Judai's so he'd notice the little tick he had before saying, "Let me guess, you want to use your wings but don't know how to implement it without making it obvious that they're real."

"That's a very good guess," Judai chuckled, noticing his tapping legs finally and slowing them down, "Yeah, you're right, but I mean... I could probably just wear a shirt or something that's the same color as them to hide the fact that it's just magically going through clothing without piercing it. My main issue is on how to give you wings, especially if I end up using my own during the tournament."

"I don't have to have magic wings if you have magic wings, you know," Yusei drawled, poking his nose lightly in jest, "Besides, if you wanted me to have actual wings, couldn't we just find a spell card or something that did so? it's not like we can't keep them summoned for five hours, let alone even a whole day."

"Ah, that's my genius gear-head," Judai grinned, "Thanks for that one. You got any spells then that you think will give you wings?"

"Silver Wing," Yusei immediately replied, knowing his deck inside and out, even without it in front of him, "Here, give me a minute to pull it out." He waited patiently for a moment for Judai to let go, eventually stating, "I need my arm, dear."

"Right! Right, sorry," Judai laughed, sending him a sheepish look, "I think I'm starting to doze a little, or at the very least zone out."

"We can curl up for a nap after I test this," Yusei reassured him, once again unable to help leaning over and kissing him quickly before shuffling through his deck and finding the card in record speed, "Found it. So I just use it like a spell card, thinking of targeting myself?"

"You've got it. Make sure you stand up first though, don't want wings popping out and sweeping the bench away and in half," Judai suggested, scooting over to give him room to do so.

He hadn't thought of that and had been about to just materialize them, so thank goodness Judai remembered where they were at the moment. Once he was up and he'd taken a moment to stretch out his legs, he grabbed the duel disk from the bag they'd kept nearby that held their decks and other important things and activated the card with little fanfare.

Next thing he knew he was stumbling backwards, an extra weight pulling at his back very suddenly - luckily Judai had an extremely fast reaction time and was able to grab his hand to sharply tug him back up, keeping a strong grip on him to make sure he didn't fall back again.

"...Well, it definitely worked!" Judai chirped with a toothy grin after a few moments of startled silence, both of them breaking out into laughter now that they were in the clear, "And they even look enough like angel wings to pass, too! I can work with this - here, let's move towards the bench so you have something to hold onto while I check them out thoroughly."
