9th Prompt: Drowning

"Help me, aibou! Please!" Atem pleads, as he tries to break free and shatter the glass holding him captive, dark clouds of the poisonous shadow realm swirling and obscuring the pharaoh from everyone's view.

9. DROWNING

“Yugi… Yugi… Yugi, please.  Open your eyes. Are you ok? …I’m worrying, Astral”

 Yugi heard his name so far away, but he felt so tired that he couldn’t open his eyes till a hand gently moved him.  

 “Yu-Yuma…”, Yugi said a little confused, “…and Astral… What are you doing here?”

“Well, we just got off work. We were on our way home when we saw a man outside your door, we couldn’t identify him ‘cause it was dark outside. He knocked on your door, but you didn’t open it. He was there for about ten minutes…” Yuma explained.

“When he left, we decided to see how you were” Astral seemed concerned too, “We use the window”.

 “The window…? Wait. What time is it?!”

“It’s around midnight”, Yuma and Astral said at the same time.

“It can’t be possible…”

“Yugi… Are you crying?”, Astral was confused.

“If it’s about work, don’t worry. You can finish it on time and…”

“No, Yuma… I had a date. My boyfriend wanted to have dinner with me… Maybe I fell asleep after the shower…”

“Oh…So the man at the door was Atem… He came to check on you! He is totally a gentleman!”

“This is not fair! I need to work harder… I need more free time to spend with him…”

“Oh, Yugi, don’t cry. He knows Kaiba”, Yuma tried to comfort him, “Atem will understand.”

“Also, he knows how mean Kaiba could be with his workers”, Astral said.

“Don’t say that, Astral”, Yugi laughed a little.
