046: Pine

Word Count:

Yuugi's eyes closed as he brought Atem's shirt close to his nose. His fingers caressed the shirt gently as he brought it to his face. A sigh escaped his lips as he kept it close. Part of him wanted to put it away and never look it again but part of him wanted to keep it right there in his hands and just sit with it and never let it go.

Inhaling, he took in the scent of the shirt. Atem's scent. A mixture of pine and the scent of sand. It was an odd mix, but Yuugi found it comforting.

He sat there on his knees, not moving.

While he wanted to put it away, he sat there staring at it.

He could it put it away.

Not yet.

He wasn't ready.
