[ yugi's thankful that atem doesn't move away, and to keep him from doing so or even thinking about doing so he tightens his grip on him, even going as far as to take a step closer. ] How can you be so sure? [ he's silent for another couple of seconds before humming a response. ] N- No, not this... [ his shoulders sink inward. ] I just hate knowing that you're hurting. [ especially when he's more or less the reason for it. ]
... [ what he says next comes as a surprise. he can only imagine how much strength it took to say that, especially feeling as he did. it means a lot though, especially coming from atem. ] T- Thank you, Atem.
