I've seen divided opinions about this, and I'm curious to know what you think.

Would love to read your thoughts on this. Please be respectful of other people's opinions.

A compiled page of doodles from my Shadi Lives! au

It's still mermay, so in light of that, let's do a deathshipping au for that!

Yamima/Amir/Kek, whatever you wanna call him, is the youngest mer prince in his family. His father doesn't treat him very well, and his siblings mostly ignore him (their father doesn't allow them to converse). After his initiation into adulthood, he leaves the palace before he could officially be given the title of the second prince/in line to the throne.

He ends up in a deep, dark part of the ocean where he accidentally comes across a bioluminous octo Ryou, who introduces himself as a witch and two of his eel companions Baku and Kura. He ends up ranting to Ryou about his family and how awful of a king his father is, and Ryou suggests that he stay with him for a while. During his stay there, Yamima ends up learning from Ryou about sea life, plants a little magic, and they become close fast.

One day, royal soldiers come into Ryou's territory in search of Yamima. Ryou obviously hides him from them, but when the soldiers don't get the answer they want, they wreck Ryou's home and slay a couple of creatures Ryou is close with. Baku and Kura survive, but one of them gets seriously injured. Yamima feels really guilty about the whole thing, but he's also very angry with his father and the soldiers. Ryou sneakily suggests they kill the king, and Yamima immediately agrees, having no qualms about it whatsoever.

They plan an assassination, and they successfully carry it out with the assistance of the crown prince Malik. Isis tries to talk them out of it but eventually ends up going with the plan. Malik gets crowned king, pardons Ryou and Yamima, and the two of them return to their now shared home and live happily ever after.

Wait. Did I just rip off the little mermaid?

big fan of how hard it is to construct Bakura's deck irl. Like half of these cards are either not competitively viable or just straight up banned 💀 very in-character for Bakura "Thief King" Ryou

[chloelouygo]

I was trusted to lone work today so guess who drew thief king instead :))

I kinda want to try to edit marik a bit but the point of this sketch series is to push myself to do something quick and disposable that I can rip about for my journal so it doesn't matter if his earring is wrong, trying to combat perfectionism one glaring mistake and quick biro sketch at a time!

[fat-butch-dyke]

I really wish we'd gotten Ryou in Millenium World 😭 I wanna see him get separated from the gang and meet with TKBakura and fall for him and help him bandage wounds and show him gentle kindness. I want to see TKB slowly let down his armor around this pale stranger who is so kind to him, kinder than anyone's been to him in years. I want to see him flinch away from gentle touch before melting into it almost desperately, pulling Ryou closer because he feels so comforting against him and he needs that more than he thought he did

And I want to see Ryou struggle between his loyalty to his friends and his heart reaching out for the broken soul before him. I want him to see the spirits of Kul Elna and feel their pain and anger and better understand Bakura's motivations. I want to see him try so hard to get through to TKB, so tell him he's better than this and that this isn't what the people who loved him would want. I want to see TKB look at him so sadly and tell him "I've already laid this path out for myself, it's too late for me." I want to see Ryou fall apart as TKB melts into sand and curse Y!Bakura and curl around the pile of sand as he cries out his broken heart. I want the spirits of Kul Elna to feel his sorrow and his love, I want TKB to feel his love.

I want to see him as a real character who tries and fails and struggles and in the end is still there for his friends even as he watches the dust that was TKB fly away with the breeze. I want to see him mourn the loss of Bakura in his own weird way because they certainly weren't friends but they were close and something in Ryou will never be the same with him gone.

[ryoukio]

sketch dump bc they don’t really need their own posts lol. I’ve just been fucking around.

[gloriousmonsters]

in the playthrough of twilight princess me and my brother have been watching link just got hooked up with a group who meets in bars to talk about how the country has failed and there are no real men anymore and one of them stated that hylians were, OBVIOUSLY, the closest race to the gods, and in conclusion i think link needs to get out of there before they try and give him a Make Hyrule Great Again tshirt

[gab-has-adhd]

Thinking about my dumb ass 11 years old self only hearing about Hunter x Hunter in a Yu-Gi-Oh! manga (yknow, like, the ads for other series at the end of the book) and thinking it would probably be too childish for my tastes based on the looks of it alone (the cover of volume 1)

I.... I could have discovered this masterpiece waaaaay sooner in my life but I was stopped by my stupid first thoughts

Instead I was obsessed on a manga about a magical card games, the (temporarily) evil soul of a dead pharaoh and (definitely) evil bishonen, one possessed by an angry egyptian man full of revenge and the other with basically trauma-induced DID...

I'm kinda sad that I didn't discover HxH sooner but I'm also kinda glad I didn't discover it at the sweet age of 11 because honestly

I was already pretty edgy for a 11 years old girl (Bakura and Marik were my favorite YGO characters after all)

I would have LOVED Hisoka

And I mean I do love him now but

Look,,,, I was c r i n g e

I don't want to imagine 11 yo me obsessed with that freaking clown lmaoooo

A little known fact about Atem/Dark Yuugi is that as long as you're not purposefully trying to antagonize him, he's actually really quick to forgive and sympathize with people who hate him.

Examples include instantly forgiving Malik after Dark Malik shows up (even without an apology from Malik for trying to kill Yuugi and Jou), sympathizing with Dark Bakura on the blimp (up to the point where Yuugi got mad at him over it), letting Pegasus go after hearing his tragic backstory (Jou even commented on how unusual that was), instantly deciding he'd try to help Kaiba after Mokuba talked about their tragic backstory, and listening to the Thief King recount his past and genuinely being horrified and believing it both times, before prompting from the other Priests interrupted it.

Chapter 17

Back in Egypt.

As happy as Atem and Heba were to finally be together…their happiness didn’t last as after two years Atem passed and Heba went missing…

It started with the creation of the Millennium items… King Aknamkanon last attempt getting rid of the darkness in his son. But it was all in vein and led to his death…despite their relationship becoming strained over the years; Atem still loved his father and mourned his passing. Heba was there to support him as they placed King Aknamkanon in his tomb.

Next came Atem’s coronation and marriage to Heba, the ceremony was beautiful and celebrations went on for a week. The two teens were beyond happy, finally being able to be together and the entire kingdom knew of their union. Heba did not only become Atem’s consort but he became a highly regarded member of the king’s court. He was intelligent and had a way with people despite his inability to talk. He could easily end arguments and get people to work together. Many grew to respect him and were fond of him for his kind and giving heart won him favour with many of the citizens…but many of the Pharaohs council disliked him and the influence he had over Atem.

The consequences for Atem releasing the creatures and the shadows on the kingdom eventually arose. They would bring out the worst in people and brought destruction and evil into the world but with the help of the Millennium items and his priests, Atem was able to draw the beasts out of the humans that housed them and seal the creatures within giant stones which could be used later to defend his kingdom.

It worked for a while until thief Bakura arrived and changed everything…

Wishing to protect his people, the world and his beloved…Atem sacrificed himself to seal the darkness away in the Millennium items…breaking his little one’s heart…leaving him alone in this cruel world…

Priest Seth became the new Pharaoh after the golden objects and Atem was buried in a specially built tomb. Heba would visit the place every day, letting silent tears fall from his face as he grieved over his loss. He was devastated and broken but not angry. He admired Atem for his sacrifice to save his kingdom and its people. The consort just wished there had been another way…

The years that followed were peaceful until the Roman’s tried to invade the kingdom. They were a terrible force that killed relentlessly and took what they wanted, wishing to conquer the lands of Egypt. Heba watched as the kingdom his beloved had given his life for burn, the screams of the innocent filled the air…he knew his time had come…but he would save his beloveds people before he faded away…

He closed his eyes as he smiled, a tear running down his cheek, ‘Till we meet again my love.’ He whispered in his mind before he closed his eyes and a bright light exploded from his body, swallowing the kingdom in a brilliant explosion…

When the light faded, the invaders were gone, reduced to dust…the people and city were safe…but someone was no longer amongst them…the only traces left of Heba were a few pristine white feathers floating in the air where he had been standing mere moments ago…

Many years later…

The morning sun had yet to rise over Domino City, the first glowing lights of dusk could be seen over the horizon. Masami had been rushed to the hospital in the early hours of the morning as she had gone into labour. It had been a long difficult pregnancy, the couple had struggled for a long time to have a baby. She had gone through many miscarriages and nearly lost hope of having a family…but one day while on her way home from work she found a wounded little white dove on the side of the street. She carefully picked it up, taking it home and nursing it back to health. A few days later when she went to feed it, the bird was gone, a white feather left behind in the nest that she had built it. She was confused for a while until a week later she found herself pregnant…now believing the dove had been a blessing…

Solomon paced in front of the delivery, hoping that there were no complications while Masami gave birth to his first grandchild. His was sitting in the chair beside the door, watching her husband, “You need to calm down Solomon. You’re going to strain your back.” The old man glanced at her before sighing as he sat beside her, “I’m just concerned my love…They’ve wanted this for so long. I would hate for something to go wrong and they lose the baby…”

The woman smiled as she took his hands, “My dear Solomon, it may have been difficult few months for Masami but the doctor has said that the child is strong.” She rested her hand on his cheek, “What is it you always tell me when difficulties arose?”

The man smiled as he rested his hand over his wife’s as he leaned into her touch, “To have faith…” she nods as she presses a kiss to his forehead.

The sun slowly rose over the horizon, its light shining through the windows as the sound of a babies cries fill Mr. Muto’s ears. He looked at the door and after a moment his son stepped out, a big smile on the man’s face as he was on the verge of tears, “It’s a boy!” he exclaimed as he his parents stood up and went to hug him, congratulating him before they were led into the room.

Masami was in sitting up in the hospital bed, a soft smile on the woman’s face as she held her new-born child in her arms. She looked over his sweet little face, his tri-coloured hair and his strange violet eyes that sparkled like little orbs of amethyst. She instantly adored the boy the moment she held him in her arms. She heard a flutter of wings outside the window; drawing her attention away from her child for a split second…she saw a familiar white dove. She smiled softly as she whispered, “Thank you.” She turned to the new-born and pressed a kiss to his forehead, “My little boy…”

The dove watches the mother and child before flying away, disappearing into the sky.

Back to the present.

Pegasus had stumbled into his tower, holding his Millennium eye as there were still a few drops of blood running from his eye socket. He walks over to the desk and looked down at the 3 cards that held the souls of Solomon Muto, Mokuba and Seto Kaiba. He turned his gaze to the large painting of his late wife, feeling an ache deep in his heart as he had failed…he had lost to Yugi. He wanted nothing more than to rip up the 3 cards, destroying the spirits that possessed them just to spite the boy that humiliated him…but he was a man of his word…using the last of his strength to return the souls to their bodies.

He opened the drawer of his desk where he kept his diary but instead of taking out the book, he picked up an envelope. He opened it slowly and pulled out two duel monsters cards. His team had worked quickly to get them printed and produced. The game maker stared at the two cards; both of them divine beasts…the Silent Siren; the queen of the sea…and The dark ruler; the queen of shadows. He had faced both of them…Ms. Muto was the sea goddess, he was sure of it. The powers she had displayed and the markings on her arms were evidence enough…and he had seen the dark goddess when he tried to read Yugi’s mind (or rather the spirit that shared Yugi’s body).

He had been right about them, they were powerful and they were dangerous…but perhaps one of them could be reasoned with. He took out a pen after putting the cards back in the envelope. He wrote a name on the piece of paper, he would give these powerful cards to the person who could prevent them from ever being used…

Yugi, his friends and his sister went looking for Pegasus once they realized the man was missing. They found the tower and watched as Croquet was leading a few guards away, one of them carrying Pegasus’ body. Yugi was worried the man was dead and that he wouldn’t be able to give back the souls he had taken. They headed into the room, the short boy relieved to find the 3 blank cards, they were free.

While the others searched the room, Lillian noticed an envelope on the desk…with her name written on it. She picked it up, wondering what was inside it. She was about to open it when Téa walked over, asking her if she had found something. The raven haired girl quickly put the parchment away and helped the other girl search through the drawers of the desk, finding a diary that held the answer to why Pegasus had done what he did.

The teens left the room, heading back to where they had left Mokuba and Bakura. Yugi was the last one to head down the stairs when he was stopped by a strange looking man in a turban, a strange key around his neck…

Shadi wasn’t expecting to the completed Millennium puzzle hanging around the neck of a young teenage boy…and yet his resemblance to the Pharaoh who’s tomb he helped to protect was uncanny…he needed to see what the deal with this boy was. Using his Millennium key, he enters Yugi’s soul…a grace mistake as he opened the door for the shadowy figure to escape the puzzle.

Lillian notices that Yugi wasn’t with them; she turned around and headed back in the direction they had just come from. However she was stopped as a massive came at her, encircling her before phasing into her body. Her mind is taken over by horrific images; she hears screams of agony and suffering, a crazed laugh echoing in her ears as he eyes become a mix of blue and gold before she faints, collapsing to the floor…

Yugi was confused as he noticed the door to his soul room was open as well as the door to the spirits…he crossed the hallway between their rooms and entered a space that was filled with endless stairs and rooms. He had never witnessed anything like this before. He saw the man in the turban heading down a hallway and followed him, not noticing the spirit of the puzzle sitting on a ledge, watching the young teen.

Yugi had saved the man from not only falling to his death but also the…dark magician? Things couldn’t get weirder for the boy. He returned to his body, the stranger who he learned was named Shadi mentions to him something about being the chosen one which confused him more as he watched the man fade away into the shadows.

He headed down the hallway, wanting to get back to his sister and friends wishing to leave this place. Yugi finds Lillian passed out on the floor, he rushes to her and kneels besides her, shaking her gently, “Lillian? Are you ok?” it took a moment before she started to wake up. Her eyes opened slowly, her head throbbing as her body felt heavy. She looked up seeing her brother, not sure how she got there or what had happened to her. He helped her sit up as she groaned, “What…happened? How did I…get here?” it took a moment to gather her bearing’s. She saw the worried look on Yugi’s face, she sighed softly as she slowly stood up, leaning against the wall, “I’m fine…let’s just get out of here…” she tried to take a step forward but stumbled. Yugi was at her side in an instant, taking her arm and wrapping it around the back of his shoulders, putting his arm around her torso letting her lean on him for support. She turned to him, a soft smile on her face, “You really are the best little brother a girl could ask for.” He looked back up at her, returning the smile, “Let’s go find the others…” she nodded in agreement as they made their way back to their friends.

By the time the siblings find the others, Lillian was able to walk on her one, her strength returning. She was relieved to see Mokuba was awake; the small boy ran to her and wrapped his arms around her waist as he hugged her tightly. She embraced him and held him close, “I’m so glad you’re ok.”

“Me too…where’s Seto?” he asked as he looked around. Lillian wanted to know too. Pegasus had returned his soul, “We’ll find him Mokuba. He has to be here somewhere.” She said to reassure the boy. It finally dawned on her that this whole order deal was over…they had won…Yugi had defeated Pegasus and his prisoners were set free…she should be feeling over joyed but…something didn’t feel right…there was something lingering in the back of her mind as she could hear a faint whisper warning her of the troubles yet to come…

She was pulled from her thoughts as Mokuba was shaking her, “Hey are you ok?” Lillian looked down at the youngest Kaiba brother, “Yeah um…just…it’s nothing. Come on, let’s go find your brother.” She smiled softly, looking up at her brother as Croquet arrived and handed Yugi his winnings, declaring him to be the king of games. The man servant left and her brother hand his friend the check for the 3 million Yen, she couldn’t help but find it heart-warming…

Seto felt like he was floating in an endless sea of darkness, he felt weightless, and his mind in a daze. He wasn’t sure where he was, last thing he remembered was looking at the woman he loved before the world went black. He remembers hearing a muffled scream coming from somewhere, it sounded like he was under water. He couldn’t move, couldn’t do anything…had he been drugged? Pegasus had spoken about taken his soul just like he did his brother, was this what he meant? It felt horrible, he felt cold and alone with nothing but time and darkness to keep him company. He thought about his little brother and how he failed him, he thought about his duel with Yugi and how he once again devastated the boy, he thought Lillian and how he had left her in the hands of a mad man…he felt like a failure. He couldn’t understand why things were falling apart…he felt himself falling into despair.

But suddenly he heard a voice in the darkness, a gently song flowed through his ears as it reminded him of a lullaby his mother use to sing to him when she was still alive…during a time when he and Mokuba were happy…it felt like a distant memory…a time when he didn’t need to live up to his step fathers expectations, when he didn’t need to worry about people trying to steal what he worked so hard for, when he didn’t have nightmares of his trauma or have to worry about his little brothers life.

He hadn’t even thought about his birth parents in years, he couldn’t even remember their faces anymore. He had tried to forget about them, it helped him stay strong for his little brother, to make sure Mokuba had the best chance at a good future. He had sacrificed so much for him, fought so hard for him, he had given up his own happiness just to ensure that the kid was happy and he had done it all alone…but that wasn’t true. Mokuba had been there for him too, he remember the Blue eyes card his brother had made for him when he was having a hard time with his studies. His brother always found little ways of making sure Seto got through his day, whether making sure he was eating or helping him run Kaiba Corp or even just sitting with him in his office to make sure he wasn’t alone.

Then there was Lillian, she was there every night his father had beaten him, locked him in his room, taken away his possessions or took away his possessions. She would even sneak in food for him since Gozuburo would withhold food from him if his grades weren’t up to par. She always made sure to add an extra pork bun or two that were home made by her mother…one of his favourites…she would stay with him for hours, giving up her sleep just to ensure he was ok before she left. Even on the bad nights when he lost his temper and took his anger out on her, she still stayed and would console him afterwards. And finally when Gozuburo was out of his life, she was still there for him every night even if she didn’t need to patch him up anymore.

And even though he was probably one of the most difficult people to live with, she stayed. She still loved him even after he messed with her family and he still loved her even if she abandoned him for a year…because the bond that had grown between them was unbreakable, they had seen the worst and best of each other and knew each other better than anyone (well except his little brother).

Was he ever going to see them again? Was he going to ever the chance to tell his little brother that he loved him and how proud he was of him? Was he ever going to hold Lillian in his arms again?

The answer came when the darkness faded away and revealed stone walls and floor, metal bars in front of him. He found himself in as prison cell, he looked around before looking down at himself, had he finally woken up from that weird dream?

He heard the cell opening, a guard standing there with his brief case in hand. He narrowed his eyes as the man set the case on the ground, “You are free to go Mr. Kaiba.” He then turned and left. Seto was confused as she stood up and walked to the door. He was free to leave? Did that mean that Yugi had beaten Pegasus? Did it mean that Mokuba was free too?

He picked up his case and headed down the hall, looking for a way out.

They had searched the castle and couldn’t find the other Kaiba brother; both Mokuba and Lillian were starting to get worried as they ended up in the courtyard. It was late afternoon by now and still no sign of Seto. Mokuba was starting to tear up…Lillian rested a hand on his shoulder, “We’ll find him. I promise.”

The next moment the giant metal doors at the other side of the courtyard slowly opened and there stood the man the two friends had been searching for, a slight smile on his face. Mokuba ran over to him, “Big brother!” Lillian teared up seeing he was ok and followed after Mokuba. The tall brunet set down the brief case and caught his little brother as the boy flung himself at his brother, wrapping their arms around each other.

Seto lifted his brother up into his arms, holding him tightly as the younger brother sobbed, “I’m here Mokuba.” He promised the child before looking up at Lillian, their eyes meeting as he moved his brother to one arm, freeing the other and held it out. She couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down her face as she closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around both brothers as Seto wrapped his arm around her, holding both the people he loved to him, never wanting to let them go.

Yugi and his friends eventually found their way to the courtyard and witnessed the little reunion between the 3 childhood friends. Yugi couldn’t help but smile seeing his sister happy and back with the man he knew held her heart. He heard a voice calling to him and looked around, his eyes landing on the translucent figure standing beside him, the spirit of the puzzle. The figure turned to smile at Yugi, ~I suppose we will be heading home now.~ he heard the spirit talking to him through his mind, his deep voice leaving a warm feeling in his soul.

The short teen nodded as he smiled, ~Yeah. I can’t believe it’s over and I couldn’t have done it without you. I don’t even know your name.~

The spirit’s expression turned serious for a moment as he seemed to be deep in thought, ~If I’m being honest, I don’t know my name. I don’t even know how I ended up inside the puzzle or who I am or who I was…~ Yugi could feel a wave of saddness flowing through their link. The shorter teens heart went out for the spirit as a thought came to mind, ~Well I could give you a nickname if you want…something to call you until we can recover your memories.~ The spirit was surprised but it brought a smile to his face, his little host was truly a sweet soul, ~That doesn’t sound like a bad idea…did you have something in mind?~ Yugi ran a few thoughts through his head before something popped up, ~Well you seem like a darker version of me and you are kinda mysterious and creepy…not that that’s a bad thing...~

The spirit raised a brow at being called creepy but honestly he didn’t really mind, distracted by how Yugi was fumbling over his words, finding it cute. Yugi cleared his throat, ~…So how about Yami?~ the short teen smiled, watching as the spirit thinks it over before he grins, ~I like it.~ Yugi let’s out a giggle, happy the spirit liked the name.

Joey heard his friend giggle and raised a brow as he looked at the shorter teen, “Everything ok Yug?” Yugi turned to Joey and blushed, “Oh um yeah. Just distracted. We should find a way off the island.” The blond nodded, “Maybe we can ask Kaiba for a lift. Hey Kaiba!” he called out.

The brunet had been enjoying his moment when it got interrupted by the obnoxious Wheeler. He frowned as he let go of Lillian and set Mokuba, “What do you want?” he glared at the blond, “Care to give us lift back home? Since we did save ya and yer brother.” He stated with a smug look. Seto rolled his eyes as he turned to Yugi, “Yugi…” the boy looked up at the CEO, “Um yes?”

“You have my thanks for saving me and my brother…I will find a way to pay you back”

The tri-coloured haired teen rubs the back of his neck, “That’s not necessary. I was happy to help.”

“But still…and as for out last duel…it was inconclusive. I used a tactic that I’m not proud of. And I apologize for that.” Everyone’s eyes nearly popped out of their eyes when the heard thee Seto Kaiba apologizing. Though Yugi wasn’t very surprised, “Lillian explained why you did it…it was to save her and your brother. You had something to fight for just like I did.” He hesitates before holding out his hand. Seto wasn’t expecting this but he shook the boy’s hand. Lillian smiled; maybe there was hope for them to become friends…

“I still wish to duel you Yugi…” Or maybe not…”…But a fair duel. No threats, no tournament, not stakes. Just a clean duel between you and me.” That…was a fair request. Yugi nodded as he smiled.

Seto pulled his hand away, “There should be enough room in the helicopter to fit you all. Mokuba, Lillian you’ll fly up front with me. The rest can sit in the back.” He turned to return to his brother but stopped in front of Lillian, “But before we leave, I have one last thing to do.” He put his hand on the girl’s hips, pulling her close. A dark blush forming on Lillian’s face as Kaiba cupped her cheek and pressed his lips against hers in a deep loving kiss.

Joey and Tristian nearly fell over in shock as Téa found the moment sweet. Yugi just watched, he was happy for them. Mokuba was grinning like mad. Lillian’s eyes slowly closed as she wrapped her arms around her beloved, holding onto him as lips felt like heaven against hers.

Mokuba was the first to speak up; “Finally!” this broke the spell between the two lovers, Seto pulling back first and glared at his little brother, “Do you always have to ruin the moment?” the little boy just laughed, “You make it too ease big brother.” Everyone laughed as Seto groaned. Lillian couldn’t help but giggled as she leaned up and nuzzled his cheek, drawing his attention back to her, “Let’s go home.” He nods and kissed her forehead before taking her hand, intertwining their fingers as the left the courtyard, leading the group to the helicopter.

They flew over the ocean, Lillian staring out the window at the sunset. Finally they were heading home…maybe things will be better from now on.

The end…for now. For a new evil will soon arise and threaten the world.

You're not alone

Summary: After Atem and Bakhura die they reach a truce, and sometimes Bakhura stays to sleep in the pharaoh's room, that night is the first time they exchange more than two words.

Am I posting a fic on tumblr? Yeah, english is not my first language, sorry if there is a mistake.

Warnings: light angst, they are in afterlife, Atem has a crisis and Bakura comfort him.

His hearing was well trained to detect even the slightest noise, when you were on your own it was the only thing you could do to survive another day of the dangers of the elements, so when the breathing of the person behind him underwent a small change he knew that he had woken up, the truth was that Atem had a very irregular sleeping rhythm, Bakhura knew this because he had observed him during the nights they shared a bed.

He never bothered to know why and Atem never tried to explain it, maybe it was something unspoken between them like everything else, like the meals left in the kitchens, the gold and jewelry objects and the silent invitation to sleep together with a small space in the king's bed.

Bakhura never wanted to know and Atem never wanted to talk, until that night.

"Do you ever miss him?" Bakhura could pretend to be asleep, he would be coherent and Atem would probably go back to sleep after a while, but the tired voice squeezed the former thief's heart.

"I don't know" and it was true, he was never able to form a healthy bond with his host, Zorc had taken it upon himself to make him insensitive to use as he pleased and then Bakhura had disappeared from Bakura Ryō's life.

"How you do not know? You should" Bakhura rolled his eyes that he still had closed, these were the most words that both had exchanged in a long time.

"Gods, go to sleep" the movement of the body behind him startled him and then he was lying on his back with the pharaoh sitting on his lap glaring at him, Bakhura did not feel intimidated, he never had.

"No! How do you stand it!? There is so much space, so much silence! I hate him!" He sobbed, burying his hands in his hair, Bakhura observed his face contorted in that grimace of despair and agony, until a while ago he would have enjoyed it, he would have laughed and humiliated him, Today? Today he only felt sorry for the poor boy who, like him, had seen everything he loved and longed for destroyed and turned into ashes without being able to do anything about it.

Bakhura raised his left hand, placing it on the Atem's sweaty neck, pulling the pharaoh down against his chest and holding him like that, in a tight, uncomfortable embrace that made them both tense.

How long had it been since they touched another human being? It seemed like more than three thousand years.

In the end Atem relaxed, leaning his head on the thief's chest and looking out the balcony, at the always perfect night full of stars.

"I don't want to be alone" Atem's fists clench and Bakhura felt the slight wetness of tears wetting his skin, he kept his hand on the back of the boy king's neck and upper back.

"The chocolate," he whispered in a low voice, fearing to ruin the peaceful atmosphere in which they had immersed themselves, Atem made a noise in his throat that Bakhura interpreted as meaning that he would continue speaking. "In winter Ryō liked to make hot chocolate with mint sticks, it's something I wouldn't mind having again."

Bakhura hoped that this would serve to express that perhaps somewhere in his being he did miss the child who had housed his soul in his body and had tried to make him feel welcome even if it hurt him.

Atem moved over him, moved his hand away, letting him move freely, maybe he had helped him because yes, he missed his host, so Atem wasn't the only one who couldn't stand loneliness, he would probably get exhausted again and sleep for the rest of the night in peace, until Atem held his cheeks, the look Atem was giving him was too soft, his eyes looked even deeper than they normally would be and Bakhura choked on the air he tried to breathe when the Pharaoh's face approached his.

Bakhura closed his eyes, he was sure that with how fast his heart was beating it would burst out of his chest, and when their lips touched, oh, how perfect it was, so soft, like the touch of a feather on his skin.

Then Atem pulled away and they looked into each other's eyes, and Bakhura, greedy as he had always been, wanted more, he lifted himself up enough to reach the pharaoh's warm lips again and his hands went to the lower back to support the lithe and thin body close to him, his lips moved awkwardly revealing the characteristic inexperience of a first kiss.

The second time they separated they leaned their foreheads together trying to process what had happened, Bakhura couldn't hold back the words that came out of his mouth before he could think about them.

"You're not alone, not anymore" yet, he knew it was true, after all, they would always be connected beyond what was humanly understandable.
