(I think I did okay on my test, which is good. We'll see though. I also made some microwave s'mores, and they were delicious. Cinnamon graham crackers, Dandies Pumpkin-Flavored Marshmallows, nutella. mmmmmmmmmmm I'm surprised I didn't summon Joey though)

“Yugi! The new boosters came in!” Grandpa yells up the stairs, and Yugi abandons getting his school uniform on halfway through and charges down the stairs, grin on his face.
Grandpa’s looking amused, but he hands over the box without comment. Yugi peeks in and…
“What?” There wasn’t any announcement about this one. Yugi would’ve seen it; he browses the website regularly.
He brings out a pack, staring at it stupidly. It’s fairy romance-themed. There’s something about the design….very white. With sparkles.
Grandpa hands over a paper that had apparently come with it. “Congratulations. It’s always a pleasure to see young love. Don’t be a stranger, will you? Pegasus,” he reads, and Grandpa can’t hold in the laughter anymore.
It’s good to see that he has (mostly) forgiven the man, but of course Yugi’d learned forgiveness from someone. (It helps that the man explained himself to Grandpa and apologized, and had even visited the store to do so, leading to a boost in sales already heightened by the whole ‘King of Games’ thing. Grandpa understands tragedy and hard decisions.)
“B-but…” he sputters. That means that these had to have been in production since before he showed up at the arcade in the city to challenge Téa. How did he know? He didn’t even have the Eye anymore!
Grandpa finally calms down, beaming from ear to ear. “Congratulations. You had a booster made specifically for you, Yugi.” Grandpa hugs him tightly, and he’s still too dazed to hug back much. “You deserve it, King of Games. I’m so proud of you,” he continues softly, ruffling the spiky hair, and Yugi dances out of the way.
“I don’t—” he continues helplessly, and Grandpa turns a little more serious.
“He’s not wrong. You two make each other happy. And that’s important.” It’s soft and proud and it’d almost be too much, but he reaches inside for the strength he knows is there and nods with as much of a smile he can muster.
“Y-yeah. I guess if he doesn’t make an announcement about it, I’m okay.”
“You’ll have to deal with it at tournaments at the least,” Grandpa points out, but doesn’t push the issue.
(Pegasus doesn’t, which is good, except Kaiba finds out and then continues to pester the man about new Blue Eyes support. It does happen, but not after a few more Kaibaman cards just to tick him off.)
Omake: Yugi is super embarrassed by it all like 'I don't deserve having a whole set made especially for me and oh Ra I'm exposing Téa to all the reporters and paparazzi and I'm getting really worried about her" and promptly goes and buys a whole booster box and brings it to her house and is all quiet and blushy and won't explain and it takes Téa a while to figure out what's going on but when she does she promptly puts a couple of the cards into her new deck including the one promo that was only included in the box sent to the Kame Gift shop. She's proud of her boyfriend and doesn't care about declaring to the world he's hers. (and Yugi calms down a little after Pegasus makes a few limited sets for Joey and Duke and Mai, but Yugi's still Pegasus's favorite and probably still gets more sets made for him than anyone else other than maybe Kaiba.)
