Drabble Notes – Yami no Yuugi/Seto/Anzu, with established Seto/Anzu. Set at some point prior to Pharaoh's Memories, but probably not too much prior to it.

---

It would have been nice to pretend that the lingering memories of the Pharaoh were an ever-present doubt on their relationship. It would have been nice to know that, but while they were with one another, nagging at the back of their minds was a voice saying that they both still loved Yami and they knew it. It would have been nice if they could take comfort in knowing that even though neither of them could be with him they still had each other.

That would all have been nice.

However it was not possible.

Because to be a spirit that lingered just out of your reach it was required to not be around in the first place. You can't mourn the absence of someone if they are still present.

And Yami no Yuugi was still very much present.

It was a shame really. They tried so hard to be normal. They tried so hard to pretend that things worked. And he in turn tried so hard to pretend he didn't notice. He tried to let them be.

But things are never that simple are they? Things are never that nice.
