Atem lay awake in the bed he and Yusei shared. The kind Signer offered to share his home with him for nothing in return. For this, Atem was eternally grateful.
Longing crimson eyes stared out the bedroom window onto Neo Domino City's skyline. The city seemed as restless as Atem was. He could head college kids street racing, lovers quarrelling, and the occasional siren of a Sector Security bike or ambulance. It was reassuring to know that Domino City's nightlife didn't change. Even so, Atem felt as if he was once again a wandering spirit. Now, the only familiar thing for him to seek comfort in was the sleeping duelist beside him.
Loneliness consumed Atem and he wrapped his arms around Yusei's sleeping body. He buried his head in the Signer's shoulder and, soon, finally fell into gratifying sleep.

Atem awoke the next morning to find Yusei's arms secured around his torso and the slightest smile pressed to his cheek.
[I like this one a hell of a lot more than that last one. Teehee. Hope y'all did too!]
