A/N This is Yami Yuugi and Yuugi. It is not intended to be romantic but if you wish to see it that way, good for you. I think this is the "normal" Yami if you will, rather than season 0, but I think it could feasibly be thought of as season zero Yami if you so choose. Just a little drabble I thought of while taking my Algebra II Semester Exam (which is the WORST time to get a story idea).
And, I have a four day weekend! WOOHOO! So I'll definitely be updating frequently.
There were no secrets between them. When someone lives within your mind, very few things are left unknown to both parties, save for, of course, those secrets which are unknown to both. The Pharaoh knew much about Yuugi. His soul and heart were pure and innocent. His memories were common but vivid. His friends were true and loyal and he returned the favor without fail. But there was very little about Yami that Yuugi knew. His room was a labyrinth of traps and twisted memories, a place Yuugi never planned to re-visit. The boy knew he was a Pharaoh from Egypt in ancient times, about three thousand years ago, but whenever he brought the concept up, Yami's face would sadden as he struggled to remember friends, family, a childhood…
Yami never tried to keep secrets, but it couldn't be helped. He recalled near to nothing about his past life. This upset the spirit. He knew so much about others, but not himself, and Yuugi knew himself so well, but may never get to know the being which possessed his mind. How could the boy trust him so easily, while knowing so little.
Still, the mortal teenager's face brightened when he met Yami inside his mind, and he never hesitated to call the spirit a friend. He knew so little about the Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh knew so little about himself, but they both knew enough, because honestly, it didn't matter what either of them were in the past. Their hearts were true and what would preserve that brightness was what they did in days to come, not what had happened long ago.
