Freedom from the puzzle was a relief in many ways. But in many more, Atem felt just as trapped, if not more than he had before.

He was not entirely sure if this was legitimately an afterlife or if it was an alternate dimension. 

But to him, it felt as though everlasting paradise should have been a bit less tedious, monotonous, and full of responsibility. 

It was beyond dreadful. 

He missed Japan. His friends. His enemies. He missed Yugi more than anything. Every day that went by had him wishing more and more that he had won the duel with his partner. He never thought that he would long to be an incorporeal being residing inside a hormonal teen's spirit. But here he was, doing just that. 

He sat in his throne, listening to his priests drone on into eternity while his gaze turned a bit glassy and his eyelids became heavy, threatening to slip shut at any moment. 

But then, the door to his audience chamber burst open and he could not help but to grin. He stood and began to walk down the dias, holding up one hand to silence his priests as he said, "Oh, my stars. How on earth did you wind up here?"

Seto fully winced as Yugi lashed out. But he didn’t make any further effort to end this interaction. He understood well enough at least that Yugi needed to let this out. He hadn’t really given Yugi a chance. It was just like he’d said— emoting was always hard for him. He didn’t deal with it well.

“I know that I should have talked to you. That I should have communicated how I was feeling and gave you the the space to do the same. But I did not,” he replied, more pathetically than he would have liked to admit. He tilted his head to look sadly at the boy. “I should have treated you better. And been honest with you.”

Sighing, the CEO took up a lean on his car and pocketed the phone. It was too late to have this conversation— both literally, now past midnight, and figuratively, it having been so long since they broke up. Lowering his head, Kaiba offered the boy a helpless shrug. “It wasn’t that I didn’t want to talk to you. It was never that I didn’t care for you or… Or love you. I had feelings for you before I even knew who Atem was. I didn’t want to burden you with what I was feeling when you were going through so much, too.”

The CEO winced. He knew that didn’t sound any better. It didn’t make anything any better. And there was a high likelihood that he could never say or do anything that could fix the mess he had made. “Your anger is perfectly justified. I wasn’t a good partner. I know that and I’m sorry. But it was never because I didn’t want you.”

The response from the CEO earned a derisive snort from the smaller man who replied, "If all of that is what you need to tell yourself, that you didn't reach out because you didn't want to burden me, that you really cared and all that, fine. But… come on."

Yugi pushed his hair back as he continued with just a bit of exasperation, "You are Seto fucking Kaiba. There has never been a single thing that you have wanted that you have not gone after and gotten with gusto."

Which was true. There had never been an obstacle thrown in front of Seto Kaiba that Yugi had not seen him overcome. Things that would absolutely cripple other men. But Seto had never backed down from difficulty. He hadn't even let death separate him from the man he actually loved for long.

He gave a dramatic shrug and added as he turned back around and started heading out of the parking lot, definitely feeling like he would be getting to the bottom of every bottle in his apartment tonight, "You didn't even fight for us. If everything that you say now was true, this would have turned out differently."

@numberoneduelist

Seto’s hand comes up to cover Mokuba’s. Ever since they were little, they’ve been the person that has been the most supportive of his endeavors. Even when he hasn’t deserved it, they’ve been there for him, cheering him on. They even push him to be better, to actually do more to help others. That’s been one of the big differences between the siblings: they actually see the best in people, while Seto sees the worst.

He’s essentially raised them, and watching them get stressed and worn out pulls at his heart. He doesn’t want them to end up… like he has. Cold, with few interpersonal relationships, little in the way of love or caring, save for those that are able to put up with it. Mokuba has prospects, they’re good with people, make friends fast. There’s still time to find a career that doesn’t consume all of their time and energy. He gives their hand a squeeze, and then lets go.

“I don’t have to, no. If you need me to, I will. There will always be time for pet projects.” He’s not going to force the other into doing anything - including taking a vacation - until the situation becomes a little more dire. “You’ve been doing everything so well. Though you may not have planned for it, you’re pretty good at being in charge. But it can be a lot - more than many people can handle. If you say you’re okay, I trust you. You’re more than strong enough. Nonetheless…”

His brows knit together and he takes a breath. The words to follow are ones he has trouble saying genuinely, but it’s far less difficult when they are to Mokuba.

“… I’m sorry.” He’s been thinking about this for a while now; how to apologize for everything he’s put them through. None of the sentences he could craft have ever seemed like enough. “ You’ve been overseeing things for a while and you shouldn’t have had to. I knew I was leaving things in good hands, but I didn’t anticipate it being… so long. And not being able to get in contact…”

If the situation had been reversed, he’s not sure if he would’ve been able to hold it together that long.

“I’m sorry.”

Mokuba has a soft smile as the older Kaiba spoke. It was clear to see how much Seto cared for them. And they knew their brother well enough to know how difficult an outright apology was for him.

And that was not because of any real deficit on their brother's part. Other people might see Seto Kaiba as cold and callous, some might even clock him as sociopathic, lacking basic empathy and regard for the feelings of others. But Mokuba knew the truth of it.

The rabble simply did not understand where they had come from. They could not conceptualize the hardships they had faced together in youth, so how could they understand the shell that Seto had formed around himself to allow him to stoically take the hits that life threw at them? The armour of indifference that allowed him to time and time again stand between the world and Mokuba?

He was not unfeeling as many thought. Mokuba knew that their brother felt things profoundly and that beneath that was a man that was sensitive and vulnerable. A man that needed to be protected too.

And they were going to protect him.

They let out a heavy sigh and replied as they shifted their hands to properly hold Seto's, "Thank you. I know that doing what you did was important to you. That you had to see the Pharaoh again. I know that he is... important to you. I was scared though, Seto. I thought you were dead. Like full dead. I thought that you wiped out your existence. I thought that I watched you die. I tried to do my best to do right by you and I tried to tell myself that you would be back. But you have to imagine what that looked like from my perspective. Like, imagine what you would feel if I dropped myself beyond terminal velocity in experimental, untested tech with a magical guidance system that I barely understood into a wormhole while you watched."

The younger Kaiba looked up to the other and continued, "But you are here now. I couldn't be happier. But just like you said that you would not be fooled into thinking there isn't something up with me, I see quite clearly that you are not really back. Not mentally. Not emotionally. I can see that you are struggling. I know you are having trouble sleeping. And I know that you are changed from that experience. I might not quite hit the mark here, but it seems like you almost wish you could have stayed or maybe wish he would have come back with you. But whatever it is, I don't think you got what you really wanted. I do not believe this was ever actually about a card game."

The shorter Kaiba, who was not all that much shorter than their brother at this point, gave a soft smile and said, "And all of that is okay. You don't have to apologize to me. You don't have to explain to me. And you don't have to be okay. But I am not stepping down until I can know, without a reasonable doubt, that you are okay again. I am putting my foot down on this one, Seto. So just... Take care of yourself and leave the rest to me."

@millenniumgod

As they traverse the city, Ryou sips nervously at his drink until it gets to the point he’s just sucking up air. It keeps him from having to say anything, keeps them both from having to talk about what’s going on. He almost appreciates the silence that’s fallen over them. At least the ring is quiet, too.

When they reach the door, he hesitates for but a moment. Are they really going to release his darker half on purpose? If it’s going to happen, though, it’s best that it’s happening now. Atem is really the only person that Ryou would trust to keep control of the situation.

The Pharaoh lets go of his hand, and he’s left with little choice but to continue. He punches his combination into the lock, and pushes the door open. This is the last thing that he will remember for the next little while.

As he crosses the threshold, his entire awareness is immediately consumed by a familiar inky blackness - as if he’s just had a sack forcefully pulled over his head and been shoved into a box. No matter how many times he ends up here, it never gets better. It’s a violent shift, one that leaves him disoriented and disconcerted. There is only nothingness here - no books, no games, no light. He’s left to just while away the time in his own head, surrounded by the void. He closes his eyes.

Ryou’s body pauses briefly mid-step. It takes just a second, and then he is in control. As he climbs into the driver’s seat, the weight of being hits him, and he has to get used to it again. He pulls the bag off of his shoulder and tosses it to the floor near the door - hopefully, in Atem’s way. He steps out of his sneakers and kicks them to the side discourteously.

Bakura brings a hand up to play with the new necklace and slowly turns to face his most hated visitor.

“It’s been a long time, Pharaoh. How have you been? After you took the puzzle from this plane of existence and nearly destroyed me, I really thought you weren’t going to come back.” He sneers. “Seems I was wrong. That’s a shame.”

The shift is immediate and incredibly apparent. The energy shifts around the boy. His posture, his movement, everything becomes sharper and more jagged. That is not to say that the spirit does not have grace, which he does. Merely that the shape of that energy takes on the form of knives or claws. 

Atem stepped into the apartment, scooping up Ryou’s bag before he closed the door behind him. He hung the bag on one of several hooks on the wall and looked to the other with a stern expression. 

“It is a shame that I did not actually manage to destroy you. How incredibly sloppy of me. For all of your flaws, no one can say that you are not resilient,” the Pharaoh replied as he scrutinized the other’s form. There was quite a lot of him that wanted to lash out at the thief then and there, but there was the tricky reality that it was still Ryou’s body there. The boy was serving as an unwilling shield made of flesh and bone. 

Atem tilted his head and said as he rested one hand on his hip, “What game are you playing? What could you still possibly hope to accomplish? And give me one good reason that I should not take this conversation to the shadow realm and rip you out of that vessel.”

One of the benefits of having his own body, he no longer had to worry about the dangers of taking Yugi to the shadow realm-- nor did he have anyone’s morals to contend with beside his own.

@numberoneduelist​

Feeling inept when it comes to life - when it comes to social queues specifically, is something that Seto can identify with. He’s always had a difficult time trying to navigate niceties. And trying to balance his brutal brand of honesty and attitude with the necessity of relationships both personal and professional is… exhausting, sometimes.

Truly, he has to be one of the worst people to get along with on the planet. Even if he isn’t a bad guy, he’s uh… not a great one, either. Lately, he’s been trying to make the world a better place than he’d found it, but that’s had only a little impact on his people skills.

His greatest improvement has been with Yugi himself. With Mutou, he finds it easier to be… genuine, and to feel genuine care for another person. The guy had been so willing to accept Seto while the executive at his worst, despite all he’d done. Yugi took so many insults and harsh comments on his chin, with such grace, that Seto… stopped wanting to insult him.

Most other people aren’t like that. If he’s lacking in other departments, it’s more than made up for by his strengths.

“Neither did I.”

Is he really going to open up about this? That is what they’re here for - to test the waters. And from what he understands, that means being candid with your potential partner. He tries to remember back to his earlier years, when his parents were still alive. They were pretty happy with each other.

“I mean… I’m not normally interested in anyone.”

Up until this point, he’s never really considered dating an option. Nobody has ever been good enough for Seto Kaiba. Several people have approached him in the past, but he’s always laughed in their faces - proverbially speaking. In reality, they were all fairly cold rejections.

“Truthfully, I’m shocked that you’re so excited about it.” Again, the man has been terrible to Yugi - he has tried to kill the guy in the past. But here they stand, blushing at each other like they’re in grade school. It’s almost comedic. “I’m glad our history hasn’t soured your perception of me too much - though now I worry there might be something wrong up there.”

He gestures to his head and offers an amused smirk.

“That being said, I’m…” Ugh, he hates admitting weakness. Every word is like chewing on glass. “Fairly inexperienced with this kind of arrangement myself.”

​The shorter man chuckled as he looked up at the CEO, who even now in this intimate and private moment sounded a bit like he was trying to navigate a business call. It was really cute and endearing, if he was being perfectly honest.

It was true that their relationship in their youth had been tense. Seto had been a total dick, really. But Yugi had always known that a solid part of that was a form of self-defense and protection from a guy who had been given the short straw in a lot of ways. 

Not many people looking at Seto Kaiba would think even for a moment that he had unfortunate circumstances. But Yugi knew. Maybe not all of the specifics, but he could definitely see the pain there. He could tell that there was a front to hide some deep insecurities.

He gave a bit of a shrug and said, "I try not to hold grudges. Especially from way back then. I mean, there was a bit of tension between us all those years and some people might be left soured by it. But, even my very best friends used to be my bullies. And I get it. I was a weird kid. Super weird.” 

Yugi glanced up with a little chuckle and said, “I have absolutely no experience with any of this. I want to, though. And I am glad that we get to figure it out together. I won’t ever judge you if there are moments that are a bit clumsy. I am sure that I will have plenty of them too. We can tackle all of the unknown together. We’ve always made a pretty good team. I can’t see why this would be any different.”

@numberoneduelist

Seto’s hands close around Mokuba’s. Despite the decades of change between childhood and now, they still fit naturally together in a way that is uniquely comforting.

It’s almost laughable; he’d come here to try and make sure his brother was feeling alright, and instead he’s the one getting reassured. How did it come to this?

The younger Kaiba has always been the more compassionate one. They’ve been the one that is first to respond when anything distressing happens. Not just for Seto, but for everyone they care about. Any friend that they have, they’ll step up for. It’s something that he appreciates, and also something he’s worried might get them hurt at some point.

“I know.” The thought had definitely occurred to him how the stunt he’d pulled would look from the outside. It wasn’t until after he’d done it that he realized it might be traumatizing, though. “I would have lost my mind.”

He pulls one hand away to scrub down his face. He really thought he’d be handling this better by now. It’s not as if he’s been falling apart entirely, but… He definitely hasn’t been actively dealing with anything, either. The fact that Mokuba has noticed isn’t surprising.

“Fine, you take the lead.” He sighs. “Just… don’t overdo it. Please. I might not be a hundred percent, but I’m stable enough to help. Alright?”

To have someone in a caring role for him is… strange. It’s been so long since he’s had someone concerned for him that he’s almost forgotten what it feels like. Not since he was basically a vegetable has he been in this kind of situation. Back then, it had been a very similar scenario: Mokuba had been the one in the driver’s seat. Before that… Their biological father had been the last person that actively gave a shit about either of them.

When he drops his hand to his side, he offers his sibling his own tiny smile.

“I don’t wish to have stayed, for the record. You’re far too important to have been left behind like that. And the afterlife is pretty lame, anyway.” He breathes out a laugh before his eyes settle on the floor. “… He was supposed to come back with me. In the puzzle. But it wasn’t in the pod when I returned.”

It was comforting in its own way to be able to step up and take charge in some aspects of their life. For so many years, Mokuba had been helpless to resist being pushed and pulled into the wills and whims of those around them, often with incredibly cruel results.

They were far too familiar with both physical and emotional pain. Hunger was a feeling they knew profoundly — not only from their youth when even accessing food was a struggle and Seto would go without to make sure they didn't, but also from being held in dungeons, at the mercy of those who called Seto their enemy.

There had been no control to be had.

But they were no longer powerless and this was something that they could do to return all of the kindnesses that Seto had given them over the years. 

When their brother finally conceded to let them continue along their path, a smile tugged at their lips and they gave a nod, “I know that you can help. And you totally can help where you want. I won’t stop you from coming into the office and doing what you want to do. Just... ease into things. Don’t try to jump into the deep end if you want to start taking on stuff again. I don’t want you to get overwhelmed.”

They then shifted to rest their head on Seto’s shoulder as the man spoke about his return from the afterlife-- or wherever it was he had ended up. The younger Kaiba lifted their eyes upward and said, “I’m sorry that he didn’t come back with you. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. I mean... Atem did what he needed to do here. Natural order of things and all that. Or, maybe there is mystical bullshit that will catch up later. But I think that... maybe... it is time to let him go?”

my heavymedic dreams finally came true today

i wanted to play some zombie infection mode so i loaded into Sanitarium.

first thing i hear as i spawn in is someone in voice chat telling everyone to go to the elevetor so we can have a dance party in there, so i go because that sounds fun and that's when i see him, this beautiful heavy. it was love at first sight.

As soon as he sees my name (kissing heavy sloppy style) he asks in voice chat if someone can put on some romantic elevator music and he starts getting really close and making kissy noises.

I, of course, am head over heels for him and i start pocketing him.

Together we start causing havoc. He protects me, i heal him, he throws me sandwitches, every time he adresses me he calls me "my love" and of course every time one of us dies the other goes back to the elevator and waits for him to respawn and reunite.

We danced in the elevator a lot and chat was surpriseingly supportive of our little love story.

He even took me out to dinner to the truck next to spawn that has a cauldron on the truck bed. He got very protective when a demo started staring at us, he killed him for me and claimed the kill in my honour.

but alas all good things must come to an end.

At the start of the next round he told me that he had completed his contract and that he was going to change map, with that he bid me ferwell and made one last kissy noise before he left.

i will always cherish those moments we had together,

i will never forget you my love <3
