idk if this counts as tendershipping but i can’t stop imagining yami bakura having to chase off random spirits and demons ryou keeps summoning because he’s so curious about the occult and has 0 self preservation instincts. like back before ryou became aware of yami bakura’s existance.

like ryou’s staring at the candles and the dead pigeon wondering why nothing’s appeared yet while yami bakura has to make awkward small talk with a dullahan.
