I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for the pain that has been caused to you.

That I wasn't there to help ease the pain.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this alone.

That you have no one to lean upon.

I'm sorry for the tears you have shed and the ones still yet to come.

That you have to go through this alone.

I'm sorry I was too blind to see what was going on.

For never being there for you.

I'm sorry for not understanding.

For making this harder than what it should be.

The most important thing is I'm sorry.

From the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry.

As I read this note from the only two individuals that I loved, I couldn't help the tears that formed in the corners of my eyes. I had been blessed with Yuugi and Malik in a time that I desperately needed someone to hold onto. Though they couldn't view it like that I could. They were my saving grace and now I feel like they are my guardian angels. Yes I know you can't see innocent little Yuugi being a guardian but I can. You have to see things from my perspective and take a look through my eyes to know exactly what I mean. I also know that you can't see Malik being a guardian either, but as I've said before, I can.

Yami no Yuugi, Yami no Malik, and Yami no Bakura were surprised to say the least when they found out about the three of us. Luckily Bakura and Marik could've really cared less what me and Malik did, so long as we were safe. Yami took a little bit longer to become comfortable with his hikari with his "mortal enemies" hikari's. I had to roll my eyes at the memory. I set the note down on my knees and rubbed the palms of my hands across my eyes, wiping away the tears that were sliding slowly down my cheeks. I felt two pair of somewhat muscular arms snake around my waist and pull me up against their chest, whilst another pair of arms, slightly less in build, snake themselves around my shoulders; their cheek was resting against one of mine.

I took a few deep breaths before removing my hands and looking into the wondrous orbs that were Yuugi's. He flashed me a brief smile before kissing my cheeks. I was calmed down for the time being and I used the time that I had wisely. I relaxed against Malik's chest, my eyes closing for the briefest of moments. I only opened them when I felt myself falling backwards and I had jumped with a start.

"It's okay Ryou, do not be alarmed. We are merely going to lay backwards." I nodded as Malik's words were comforting. I relaxed yet again as Malik had laid down atop the bed, my frame laying on top of his while Yuugi's was pressed against mine. For once in the time I have existed, I finally felt like people would understand the way that I am. I was safe and warm between the bodies of the ones that I loved and I shall forever remain there.

I had closed my eyes as I felt fatigue envelope my senses. The last thing that I remember hearing was Yuugi and Malik whispering words of love and comfort into my ear and then all went black as I could no longer fight the tiredness that swept me in its grasp.

I believe that was the first time that I had actually gotten a good nights sleep.
