I know. I... don't know what's wrong with me. [ said more to himself than his familiar, but he was still habitually petting peregrin ( snake - cat - phoenix ) out of sheer nervousness. why, he wasn't 100% sure, but he had a feeling it might have to do with exploring his feelings. he hadn't said anything to atem back then, and there's nothing he's regretted more in his life. his other self meant ( and still means ) so much to him. he screws his eyes shut tight as he feels himself getting overwhelmed, but peregrin's there to coil his snake head around his wrist in an attempt to ground him. yugi smiles, scooping him up and holding him closely. ] ...thanks...
O- Ok. Here goes nothing. It's just dinner. [ a firm nod as he moves his familiar to his shoulder and leaves his bed. ] I can do this. [ he goes over to atem and greets him with a wave, giving him a smile. ] Hey Atem. How about dinner later? Me, you, and Kaiba?

Of course. No one's asking anyone to change. Not, like, crazily. But opening your arms and your heart to friends isn't the weakness you thought it was. It's a strength, and I'm glad you're starting to see that.
