Kaiba snapping at him was met with a slight raise of his eyebrows but otherwise Yugi remained unfazed. He didn't take it personally. Besides, over time, he had gotten used to the curt way of interacting with people Kaiba often seemed to default to if something didn't go exactly as he liked. Still, none of that meant he was going to allow Kaiba to brush him aside entirely.

"I didn't exactly come here for that either." Yugi countered lightly.

Fork and knife were placed down next to his plate before he softened his tone just a tad and continued. "But I won't keep you if you want to go home and get some rest." he paused to glance away. "I know how exhausting nightmares can be."

He’s a little late to the party, figuratively speaking of course (Seto Kaiba isn’t really the “party” type). But he is late—he meant to leave an hour ago. But he’s home know, knocking on his brothers bedroom door. Box in hand.

Mokuba didn’t expect anything. It was another late night at the office and he decided to leave early, but his brother just stayed working... He rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes and opened the door. “Seto?”

PSA

//Please don’t reblog my headcanons.

//Number 011 has gotten a decent amount of attention—and I see why, I have all the feels about it—but please don’t open workshops on my character development pieces.

//Don’t get me wrong, I’m flattered you all find them interesting and I will chat about them with you for hours (literally, I have all the things to say about Seto). But please don’t take them and add your own commentary/solicit feedback on my behalf.

//I put work into those to help people understand my Seto, not to start a debate on whether I’m “right” about him. This Seto’s mine and so...I am “right.” don’t want anyone to feel like they can’t enjoy or engage with my writing or with Seto, but please don’t just grab a headcanon and pass it along for comment. Come to me if you want to talk about it—I promise you, I’ll never pass up a chance to gush about my boy.

//Posting this here feels a little bit like preaching to the choir, but do feel free to reblog this post. Especially if you feel the same.

//Thanks for your attention and your interest. C.

SENTENCE STARTERS (life-threatening/dangerous situations) | @lifeaftercheckmate

Kaiba snapping wasn't half a scary as the situation they were in was. Thick black smoke rolled in through every crack it could find, needling his eyes and lungs with merciless ferocity, the rubble surrounding them doing little to protect them skin from the scourging heat blistering their skin.

No, compared to that the other's annoyance was way, way less intimidating.

Yugi didn't budge, eyes wide and serious, imploring.

"Kaiba, I can't let you hurt yourself like this."

His hand stayed on Kaiba's wrist, ready to pull the other's arm across his shoulders so he could become a human crutch and drag him out, one way or another. The touch was gentle. But gentle doesn't equal meek. Yugi had his own brand of firmness. Perhaps it wasn't as blazing hot, fiery, as the Pharoah who he used to share a body with had been, but it was just as fierce.

"We're leaving here together!"

It's a tense one, and if he doesn't do something now, they're through! "Here, let me help!"

🍻 + “ when was the last time you cried ?”

send me a 🍻+ a question you want to ask my muse for a tipsy, drunken ( honest ) answer.

He blinked, stared, nursing the glass in his hands (it's good stuff, Kaiba had assured him - not that Yugi would taste the difference anyway, though by now he had too much of it to deny he actually did like it) and licked his lips.

"Why'd you wanna know?" There's no accusation behind his words, just confusion. Yugi just hadn't pegged Kaiba as the kind of man to consider such emotional ordeals, much less voice those thoughts to another human being.

If he answers it, does that count as bonding?

"Couple nights after Egypt..." his thoughtful expression clouded over, his voice dropped to a mutter. "I thought I heard his voice..."

No, he doesn't want to elaborate.

🎎 + is there anything about Yugi that disappoints you or you wish was different?

Talk to Yugi's parents! | @lifeaftercheckmate

Michiya Mutou tapped his pen against his desk, hummed and glanced off to the side. The question caught him off guard, but it'd be rude not to answer.

"He's a fine young man," he began. A safe answer, but unfortunately also a boring one. No doubt he'd be pressed for more details. A frown settled on his lips before they opened to allow a way out for a soft, but heavy sigh. Yugi's father thought it over another second before he finally answered, forcing a smile as he did so.

"However, truth be told, his plans for the future... worry me. I hoped he'd outgrow his,  uh, well, rather childish fancies, and would start applying himself to an actual career path. If he has time to play games, he has time to study."
