Prompt #4: A deep sorrow that made him want to cry would fall upon Yuugi every time he looked at his most beloved card, The Dark Magician.
He couldn't help it! Anytime he pulled his card out he just wanted to cry. On the days he was already feeling down, he did cry. It was difficult to use the card at school but the thought of leaving it behind made him feel bad. Yuugi loved the card, it'd be very rude if he just ditched it because it made him feel sad. That's what he told himself, anyway, every time he brought his card to school.
If anyone ever noticed they never said anything. Which was a good thing for Yuugi. Getting beat up or mocked because he cried over his favorite card wasn't something he wanted or needed.
Prompt #5: Why couldn't Yuugi see that they were one soul, one person, once upon a time?
(Takes place during Dread & Fear)
It made Yami so frustrated. No matter how he tried to explain it, Yuugi just didn't understand. He would just have that look on his face, the one where he truly did not get it, nod with a small smile, and try his best to change the topic to anything else. Yami knew Yuugi did it because he was afraid that Yami would hurt or leave him for speaking against his opinion. That was another thing that frustrated Yami but he didn't want to think about that right now.
No, he had a different problem. And no matter what, he was going to get Yuugi to understand. If only he had more of his memories. Then he could pull Yuugi into his soul room and show him when they were once one. Show him how they spilt and how Yuugi was the better of them.
Yami sighed and rested his face onto his fist. 'I wish I could show him,' he thought, not for the first time. He stared down at Yuugi and patiently waited for when his alarm would go off. Maybe he could come up with a good way to explain it to Yuugi by morning...
Prompt #6: His own name was lost to time, but he has accepted the new name his masters (for he will protect the two just as they were once were one) have come to call him; Dark Magician is who he is, *what* he is, and he has accepted this as it keeps him close to the ones he serve.
(Takes place before #3 in Odd Things Happen to Yuugi)
By no means was this a bad life. It kept him close to the two and put him in a position to protect them. And protect them he did. Thankfully one of his masters, the light, kept their deck with them at all times, which allowed him to follow them. Most of the time Dark Magician would watch their surroundings and follow them. Sometimes he had to influence the mind of another to not come close to his masters.
It wasn't that he didn't trust the dark one to keep the two of them safe, he just wanted to protect them in any way he could. The dark one deserved to rest and not constantly play shadow games. So Dark Magician did what he could and watched over the two.
Prompt #7: Mist for platonic Yandere Dark Magician and Yuugi?
(Takes place before #6)
He's tried quite a few times to save Yuugi from danger. Much to Dark Magician's frustration, he can't. He can't interact with the physical world and is forced to watch as Yuugi gets hurt. It hurts him. The thought of Yuugi being killed one day and him being able to do nothing eats up at his mind and tears him apart. He wants to help Yuugi so bad and protect him.
But he can't.
At most, Dark Magician can vaguely touch anything. He's tried to hit some of Yuugi's attackers only for them to shiver and mutter something about mist. It hurts him so bad and every night he asks for Yuugi's forgiveness. He places his hand on Yuugi's head and always whispers to him. His forgiveness, wishes for sweet dreams, and other things.
He's not sure if his magic works on Yuugi as it does on his fellow monsters. But Yuugi hasn't had a nightmare since Dark Magician started his nightly ritual.
Prompt #8: Jealous from the first list prompt for platonic Yandere Yami for Yuugi?
Yami scowled as he watched Anzu hug Yuugi. Today wasn't one of his better days and he was itching to yank each of their friend's hands-off Yuugi each time they touched him. He wished he could do any of those things. But he didn't have a physical form. So he couldn't hug Yuugi, or hold his hand, or ruffle his hair, or any number of things. The closest he could do was send feelings to Yuugi. Although he did like doing that, it just wasn't the same!
Normally he didn't think anything of Yuugi's friends being so tactile with him. He liked that his dearest friend had people he could talk to now, people who wouldn't just use him for homework and money. But he was feeling oddly jealous today. Maybe stress was getting to him.
Asshole after pathetic asshole had been coming after Yuugi almost non-stop for nearly the entire week and Yami was at his wit's end. No doubt it was people coming for Yuugi for Yami putting Kaiba into a coma. It wasn't Yami's fault that it was taking Kaiba so long to piece together his heart! If they really wanted Kaiba back, they should visit him and encourage him to believe in himself to rid himself of his darkness.
Yami sighed and forced himself back into his own soul room. He wasn't fond of doing this as he couldn't see what Yuugi was doing but he needed to calm down before he did something he'd come to regret. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Now was the perfect time to comb over anything and everything he remembered before Yuugi freed him.
