I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh !

HE: the mysterious man/demon.

"Well, see those silver straps round my wrists?"

The boy looked up and saw two, thick silver straps around the man's wrists. They were closed with codes. Lucky for the man, he just loved games! (as he saw the codes as games) Besides, he stil wanted to play with the man.

"Yes. Want me to undo them?"

"That would be nice."

A determined look apeared in the boys eyes, and he walked up to the tree. He tossed his lollipop away, and started to climb. Very slowly and carefully placing his feet, following instructions given by the other and finally reaching the wrists, Yuugi began rambling with the handcuffs. After a lot of handywork and patience, the boy managed to crack the codes and free the other, who promptly fell down.

"Are you okay?"

A groan.

Yuugi hurried down, all the while being carefully not to hurt himself.

"Sir, everything alright?"

The child approached the other male cautious, feeling a lot more nervous now that the other wasn't hanging on the tree anymore.

"No sun...please..."

The whisper was nearly nonexistent, but Yuugi heard it none the less. The sun was about 30 centimeters away from the man's hand. He looked around and spotted a shadowed place nearby. He walked to the other, grabbed him under his shoulders and dragged him under the bushes, laying down himself afterwards.

"You're heavy."

A snort.

"I'm not."

A giggle.

"Yes you are."

The other sat up slowly to keep his head from spinning. After examining the burns on his wrist, he took in his surroundings and spotted the oak tree, now bathed in sunlight.

"That was close..."

"Wha?"

"Nothing..."

His voice trailed off, and Yuugi studied the other.

"You look like me."

A smirk.

"No, you look like me."

Questions marks popped up above Yuugi's head.

"Isn't that the same?"

Sighing when he realised Yuugi didn't get the joke, the elder nodded.

"It is."

"Why did you say it then?"

"It was meant as a joke."

"Oooh...I don't get it. Explain?"

"Nevermind." He turned away, blonde bangs covering his eyes.

Yuugi pouted.

"No fair."

"Life isn't fair."

Yuugi looked puzzled, but before he could ask something, a hand was raised.

"Just...don't ask."

"...Okay."
