I hate being like this. So depressed that I can't get out of bed. I never get sick. I'm a very health guy, but I get so sad from time to time that I can't move. This doesn't happen very often. Usually once a year. Usually. But it has happened more and more. Now, about once every three mounts. Ever since I lost to Yugi for the second time.

I think about killing myself. If it weren't for Mokuba, I already would have. That stupid boy… he just keeps bothering me. He just wont let me die. What would I be, if not for him? But I think about it, suicide, so much its scary. I'll never do it, but the appeal of a razor blade is always in the corner of my eye.

"Hey big bro." A small whisper, from the foot of my bed.

"Mokuba? You're supposed to be at school."

"Don't be upset, but I skipped." I'm so glad that he's here right now.

"Why?" But I have to pretend to be upset with him.

"I could feel that you were having one of those days, and I knew that you needed me." He's good. He comes and sits in front of me on the bed. The boy amazes me, he knows how to make everything right. He wipes my dry tears away form my face. "If you had one wish, what would it be?"

"That you could have any wish that you wanted to have." That's not a lie. In my perfect world, he would have everything that he wanted.

"You know what mine would be?" What? "That for one day, I could take all the pain that you feel out of you, and put it in me. So for that one day you could smile and be happy, like I am all the time." I love my brother. Its things like this, that make me realize that I'm lucky to have someone like him to hold me up on days like this.

"No, I wont have that. I'm sad, I'm like this, so you don't have to be." He's so small. I was small at his age. He'll grow so fast. He'll go a foot in six mounts, like I did. He's thin to. He should be eating more. But now, he's just the right size, for the long arms of his lonely brother.

"You can't protect me forever."

"I can try." I'll try to the death to protect him from the pain that I feel. "Don't grow up, ok?" I wish that he didn't have to. I wish that he would always be small enough to crawl into my arms. But unfortunately, he will grow. He'll be bigger than me one day.

"I'll never be to big, to be your little brother."
