You know, sometimes I wish my brother would just cut this shit out already.
I just want us to be a family again - to see him smile. Not one of those smirks he throws in Jonouchi's direction whenever he makes a crack about the 'scared little puppy'...and not one of those psychotic grins he always has whenever Yuugi's in a bad situation.
No.
I mean a smile; a genuinely happy smile. I don't think I've seen him truly smile in years...since Gozaburo visited the orphanage we had to live at for so long. I hated that place - the only person I could talk to there, that defended me from all the kids that made fun of me, was my big brother.
Until Gozaburo arrived...that damned man...the only thing I will ever be grateful to him for is the fact that he took both my brother and myself; my brother refused to be adopted on his own.
That was the last time I ever saw him smile...a pure, genuine smile.
Gozaburo turned him into a seemingly emotionless machine. Yuugi's victories over him nearly drove him insane - I daresay the events in the Death-T did make him lose his mind for a while. And now...now he's always lamenting about being number one, how he was dethroned by pure dumb luck, and once he has the chance, he'll defeat Yuugi once and for all, to show who is truly the number one duelist in the world.
I won't leave his side - he's my big brother - but just once I'd like to see him smile. I want to hear him laugh - a real laugh. I want him to just put all of this stupid ranting about being the best, the top, the number one duelist in the world aside.
Because really - who gets this emotional - this dedicated - this obsessive...
