their day had been going pretty well, as relaxed as it could get. it seemed that life was giving them a break finally after everything they’d been through. still, curiosities lay within the air, lavender gaze shifting towards the other when the question arose. was he annoyed? not at all, just a little surprised …
“well, it’s just you never showed any interest before. you just caught me off guard a little,” he said, shifting his position on the couch so he was now completely facing yugi. after all, he’d need his full attention if he was going to become his tutor. but listening to his reasoning? oh, atem couldn’t help the smile that broke out onto his face.
“i guess i could teach you a couple things. that being said, are you up for the challenge, ya rouhi?” came his voice in a teasing tone.
Yuugi found himself relaxing as Atem spoke to him in that teasing tone. It made him feel much more at ease, as shown by the way his shoulders relaxed and the twitch of his lips, which morphed into a more confident grin. His brow quirks and he soon found himself nodding quite jovially.
“Please, you’re talking to the King of Games, who saved the world countless times! If I can’t handle this, well. . .what sort of sad guy would I be?” He teased right back, scooting ever so closer to his new ‘language mentor’. Lavender hues would lock, quiet settling in for just a heartbeat, before he finally spoke again. “So, what does ya rouhi mean, mou hitori no boku?” The phrase comes out awkwardly on his tongue, clearly far from being used to speaking the aforementioned language.
