ow the edge (open)

Who: Kaiba ([personal profile] blue_ice) and you!
When: One early September morning
Where: All over campus!
What: DUELS. In any and every game. Or try to talk him down from this madness, idk.
Warnings: Excessive edgy shonen rival behavior. Possibly some dark themes, will be labeled in subject lines!


Kaiba's request, in hindsight, was a foolish one. Every interaction between their worlds and this one thus far had been a disaster with unintended consequences, why would this be any different? And why would he risk his most priceless possessions this way? He could kick himself, but that's not going to save his Blue Eyes White Dragons. His hand trembles as he holds them, watching their attack and defense values slowly tick toward zero.

You are not the worthy heir we chose, says the trio of voices in his ear. Your emotions have made you weak. We seal our power from you until you prove that the spirit of a champion lurks within. Crush your foes with precision! Or are you now a coward?

No. He's no coward. Kaiba sweeps through the hallways with an icy expression, searching for prey. Any instrument they might hold for a game draws him...a deck of Fantastic Foils cards. A basketball. A chess board. A wand. Any game, anywhere...he absolutely must win. He swivels to face his chosen opponent.

"You. Duel me. Now."

Are you game? Or more inclined to tell him he's out of his mind? It's your move.

As soon as Kaiba makes the bridge it's Gandora that steps out onto it first. He tests its strength and then moves cautiously, bringing his wings up to shield himself against any projectiles that are getting shot his way. Arrows, it seems, from across the way. It looks like some of the traps are still in working order, but better him than them. And his wings are thankfully able to keep him safe, so Yugi won't take any damage. The trip across isn't that long and soon they reach the center.

Gandora looks to Kaiba, waiting for him to step into the spiraling vortext to transport them out. As soon as they leave their wounds will all be healed and he'll vanish, leaving just the two of them back at the school.

As soon as they step through the portal and Gandora disappears Yugi regains some of his lost strength. He stirs just a little bit in Kaiba's arms, though he's still in a bit of a daze. Turning into him, he keeps his eyes closed, letting him carry him back to his dorm, and it's only once they're there that he finally lifts his head and looks up at him.

"..." Though they had gotten out of the maze the look of disappointment on Kaiba's face. He wonders what had happened with the cards. He's almost afraid to ask.

"...so you lost you chance at your Blue-Eyes..." Yugi frowns, feeling an exobitant amount of guilt. And here he thought he could and would help Kaiba, but he only hurt him... and in more ways than one. "Kaiba, I'm so sorry." He ducks his head, hiding his face in his pillow.

"Kaiba..." Muffled. "I wanted to help you. I wasn't really concerned about my own problem. It's not like I couldn't keep trying. You were the one with the problem running the clock. I had all the time in the world." He sighs, turning to finally look at him... and then he feels even worse, because Kaiba looks truly heartbroken.

"..." That's not true. Yugi feels partly responsible. If only he had challenged him to another game, something easier and more simple. "I don't know if it's going to be that simple, but... there's no harm in trying... and... and I'm glad you're safe too, Kaiba. That's what's most important here."

"I know. But you have bested countless others, Kaiba, ..." But he's not going to harp on that, especially when it's clear Kaiba is hurting because of the entire ordeal. He does, however, make a face in response to what had been said to him. He doesn't think that's necessarily true. "I..." Yugi shakes his head, but just doesn't say anything and instead reaches for Kaiba and tugs him close, bringing him onto the bed as he scoots back. "Let's just rest. We can talk about this more in the morning... alright? I think we've been through enough tonight." He says quietly and squeezes Kaiba, giving his cheek a nuzzle as he turns his head and gives him a kiss.
