It was strange to be able to call his days as boring and uneventful when the vast majority of his… far too many lives has been something fast paced and equally confusing. To be able to relax and try to make a new life for himself in something that was… familiar yet foreign was such a bizarre feeling. Yet he couldn’t help the bitter twinge of nostalgia that ached him, the friends he made and life he got to live through another in such a world. There was a wealth of possibility, and yet something was missing, a void that remained in his heart.
A void that could be fulfilled with the bump of someone he momentarily believed to be a stranger, moving to apologize however he could not even breathe life into his sentence by the time he had locked eyes with someone that was more than familiar, like looking into a reflective mirror of the past and it was angry, upset and terrible hurt… if only for the moment.
At first he couldn’t understand the anger having accepted his death but… he was not the one that had to live with the consequences and emptiness of that passing. Yugi had moved on, he had a life to live and he was not supposed to interrupt it yet again, he felt guilty in a way, letting Yugi yell at him seemed appropriate so he allowed it. Softening his expression, he reached his arms out and pulled Yugi into a hug, shushing him quietly. Normally, he knew exactly what to say… but not this time.
“I missed you too, Yugi…. I apologize if my being here is going to cause you any trouble, but for what it’s worth, I am very happy to see you.” He didn’t want to let go, so he didn’t, keeping a hold on the other but not tight enough to trap him, he had room to escape if he so wished it.
Yugi allowed himself to be held in his best friend’s arms and cried softly. Was that tears stinging his eye? No it’s not, he wiped a single tear from his face. It’s been for so long, everyone had moved on from the adventures they had as a team but their friendship is still there. He knew he had finally snapped out of the blue but Yugi knew to apologize for it sometime.
“Ah no! It isn’t your fault. I should be the one apologizing, it’s just been a long time and I swear I’m not crying.” The duelist answered in a honest tone. It took time for him to recover from his emotional break down at the sight of seeing his partner. He heard of the city’s magic, maybe Atem having his own body is a good idea. Although, Yugi felt comforted after the embrace. What changed after those years, he wondered? He knew himself he had grown taller and mature as time passes by.
Are there more duelists or somebody else from Domino City in Koi? The thought of it made him curious. He only smiled and nodded at his partner in acknowledgement. They’re together again, just like the good old days. But something tells him things may be different from here and out.
Another question, followed as he decided to part himself from the embrace so he can get a good look at Atem. “When did you get here? I arrived earlier but it’s certainly been a surprise!”
