I got this idea where Yugi looking like a goth which turned people off him who didn’t know him before he became well known, being the sweetest and having the nerdiest hobbies. And then he has a girlfriend who is extremely girly and all that. Preppy looking. But she likes monster trucks and heavy metal. Looks prim and proper when she starts the day with tea cups and stuff vibes but by end of day, she’s all muddy and stuff and she doesn’t mind. This kind of couples vibe. What you think? Would you do some kind of scenario?
I'm liking it, I'm liking it. How I'm seeing it is nerd!goth!Yugi (that was already a thing bro, why doesn't anyone acknowledge our boy uses mascara) x girly!tomboy!reader.
Let's make it a headcanon
In my opinion, when people think about 'goth' they automatically think depressed devil worshipper more than they see it as a style, a way of dressing and self-expression.
So I imagine people who looked at Yugi before knowing him well automatically thought he was a weird kid, they saw the makeup and the chains and the chokers and spiky bracelets before seeing his personality
Which was really unfortunate for Yugi who simply enjoyed dressing like that, his little group of friends knew Yugi isn't as stereotypes for goth people describe, don't judge a book by its cover, and you certainly didn't
Yugi has no idea how you ended up together or why you love him when everyone else hates for simply existing, but he was really happy he had you in his life.
People, even his friends looked at you two as a couple and just wondered... "how?... just how? How does this work? How did this happen?"
Because you're so pink and proper, you say excuse me before sitting down, you wipe your face like a princess, and are so sweet and polite and fluffy
Then you have Yugi with his spiky hair, spiky collar and bracelets, always wearing black and denim, wearing so many chains... TOO MANY CHAINS, WHY DOES HE NEED ALL THESE CHAINS???
So ya it was weird as hell seeing you together, he was punk and she did ballet type thing.
But Yugi's friends didn't mind it, because you two were both so cute and sweet, they knew that, people who met and knew Yugi knew: this was a match made in the brightest place in heaven. You would listen to Yugi talk about his interests, his hobbies, you'd even duel with him for fun and he'd buy you sweets when you inevitably lost badly, you do beat him at every other game though
How Yugi discovered your messy side though, was when he and his friends went to hangout at your house, you're mom let them in, said to check if maybe you were in your room
I imagine you're the type of person who looks proper and preppy but then you're room looks like a trash dump site, an organised mess
And that's exactly what they found, your walls were covered in heavy metal band posters and posters and accessories from monster truck shows no one knew you had went to, you had a skateboard no one knew you ride in the corner next to a broken guitar, it was like a pink and black hot topic.
They even wondered if they maybe walked into the wrong room because no way this was yours, right? You were so soft and cuddly, and this... this is something you'd imagine Yugi would have as a goth boy but he doesn't
Your mom walked into the room with snacks and paused
"Oh, y/n, isn't here? Then she must be in the backyard with her dad. Follow me." You're mom said all chirpy, in a good mood today, confirming THIS was indeed your room.
The stunned group quietly followed your mom to the backyard where they were surprised to see you helping your dad fixing your dad's truck, you had done a full oil change and it was obvious since you and your dad were covered in motor grease, especially you, you had it on your dress, on your face, arms, socks, looking like a greasy princess. you were just laughing with your dad, as you helped him with the engine.
"When I'm old enough to drive can I have your truck?" You ask arm deep in the engin.
"Didn't you say you wanted the motorcycle in the garage?" He asked holding the flashlight for you.
"Both! I'm gonna be a speed demon like Giacomo Agostini or Marc Márquez!" You say, pulling your arms out immediately in excitement at the idea, splashing oil on yourself, but you didn’t really care, it was fun.
Your dad just laughed as he passed you the wrench to tighten and loose bolt. Both of you unaware you had an audience.
"Y/n, sweetie, your friends are here!" Your mom said placing down the snacks on the patio table, "wash your hands and come take a break."
You jumped down from the stool you were standing on and run to go hug a really stunned Yugi, he hugged you back of course, not caring that his clothes would get dirty, they were black anyway, the others didn't let you hug them though, they weren't as care free about that as Yugi.
They asked you lots of questions of course, who wouldn't? Joe had asked if you could possibly fix his sister's motorbike as a joke and you of course said yes very excitedly.
Tea nudged Yugi saying how when you two were born, God accidentally swapped your personalities halfway. Because honestly, that's true.
Yugi is a sweetheart nerdy polite goth, and you are a what can only be described as a girly pink girly girl tomboy with a love for anything with a love for anything with a motor who could show up to a tea party covered in gasoline and still act like a Disney princess
But this is just my interpretation though, and what do I know?
