"…Yami?"
"Yes?"
"What are you looking at?"
"The sky."
"…All right, I'll bite. Why?"
"When was the last time you ever really… looked at it?"
"I… don't remember."
"Exactly. We get so busy, so caught up in things and we're rushing around… we don't stop to notice the little things that make the universe what it is."
"You're not doing it right."
"Sorry?"
"Here. Lie down on your back."
"Why?"
"You look like you're waiting for the aliens to come. Do it like this." Yugi took his arm and gently led him down into the grass.
"…Oh. This is much nicer."
"Mmmm. Yeah, I used to do this all the time as a kid. I'd try to look for shapes in the clouds, too."
"Why would you do that?"
"I was a kid. I was curious." Yugi yawned, unconsciously leaning his head against the other's shoulder. "It's been a while since I've done this. It feels so relaxing."
Yami blinked, slowly, then curled his fingers into Yugi's as the grass tickled his skin. "Yeah," he said, letting out a breath of air. This was why he had stayed. This was what he'd wanted. To be able to look up at the blue sky as a mortal, and not look down on the world from it as a god…
Yugi's fingers curled back, and Yami smiled.
