So I've finally decided to post a drabble collection. :) I hope you enjoy it!
Summary: Atem is new to the whole "protect the universe" thing. Yuugi just kind of...showed up one morning after a nightmare that Atem couldn't even remember. He is clingy and terrible at explaining anything aside from "hunting," something Atem wants no part of. It took Atem a little bit to get used to being the only one to see Yuugi, something Yuugi enjoyed a little bit too much.

If Atem had time in his very, very busy schedule, he would admit that today was a nice day. Unfortunately, he did not have time to notice, and his nuisance of a spirit partner was going to make him late for his club meeting. Not that he even wanted to go. Hell, he'd rather chase Yuugi around all day instead of going to the stupid club meeting. But his idiot of a teacher got the notion in her head that Atem needed an extracurricular activity.
"Yuugi! Get down, now!" Atem ducked his head as people walking by gave him concerned looks. Of course no one else could see Yuugi.
"Hmmm?"
Atem tried to inconspicuously glare up at the top of the streetlight his spirit partner had decided to lounge upon. His deep red scales were bright against the backdrop of buildings and blue sky. He would have stood out, but if Atem looked close enough, he could see the lines of the building behind him.
"Get down, please," he forced out behind clenched teeth.
"But it's so warm up here. The sun feels delightful."
"Yuugi, if you don't get down now I will leave you there." The threat was empty, they both knew that. After the way Yuugi talked about "hunting," Atem didn't trust him enough to leave him alone. Yuugi said he didn't hunt people, but who knew what the spirit considered a "person." Grumbling under his breath, Atem made one last desperate attempt to get Yuugi moving. "If you get down, I'll let you sleep in my bed tonight."
"Really?"
"Yes," it was a strangled promise. He had found out quickly, that Yuugi craved heat (he was half snake, after all). So much so that he religiously tried to sneak into Atem's bed at night to share body heat. "But that's it! One night of me...refraining from kicking you out."
"Deal." Yuugi's voice was much closer, and Atem jumped. His face burning, Atem glared meaningfully at his spirit partner. "Let's go, other me, we don't want to be late for that meeting."
