[There really was nothing that Yugi needed to feel sorry for. It's not as if the pair of them could put off announcing their relationship at some point, or their other ideas since they were directly related to Atem himself. The shock would have been great no matter the method of delivery. So many uncertainties were swiftly clearing up as the pieces fell more into place. All the secrecy, and the feelings of exclusion were for legitimate reasons. This new relationship was something they had to explore for themselves before sharing it with anyone else, and the research on sundering could have been met with stiff opposition. That is precisely why Atem had been left out of several discussions since their mutual arrival.]
[He felt ... well selfish for taking some consolation from their words. Didn't everyone want to be needed to some degree...? .. But... still- his life shouldn't have interfered with theirs to start with.] I... know, it was sudden too. My departure. It really didn't give anyone time to truly prepare for it. [You're not the only one that needs someone in their life Yugi. He held back the words he should have shared]
[Then he found himself pushed toward Yugi and trapped in a collective embrace. It prompted him to return the hug to his other self, rubbing one hand briefly in a comforting arc along his back. He doesn't try to pull away until Yugi gives them an indication that it's ok to do so. They're both so close though...]
Yugi, you don't have to apologize, you never have to apologize for anything. [Emotions had a way of creeping up on you, and when they did they didn't care if it was convenient or if it put you on the spot] Thank you Yugi, and you as well Kaiba. I - I didn't know you were working on something like this in the background. I'll give it a considerable amount of thought. [That's something he can promise] ....................... [Who is still hungry? Really? Cough. Well....] It would be nice to sit down. [.. and digest all this.]
