There were no promises between them, Yugi knew. There never had been. No promises because they were never sure they could keep them, and that would be the equivalent of lying. It was useless trying to convince them otherwise because after believing something for three thousand years you couldn't just change your mind. So he just laughed at the futile efforts made by the others, bar Ryou, to get them to make any agreement with each other.

But today… Today was different. He watched through the crack in the door as the sat on the bed, whispering to each other. They swapped their necklaces in silence , precious blue gems glinting in the light that oozed in the window, and touched foreheads. Then smiled.

With a bemused expression, Yugi walked back down the stairs. Maybe there was just one promise between them.

Not that they'd ever admit it.
