"I almost wasn't born, you know."
Yami was dragged out of his thoughts and looked at Yugi now, sharply. "What?"
"You heard me."
"Yes, but… could you clarify?"
"There's not much to say. My body was very weak, and there were some complications during the birthing, but… it's not a big deal."
"You almost didn't exist. I'd say that's a very big deal."
"Yeah, but… here I am."
There he was.
Yami awoke that night in a cold sweat, sitting up, hands shaking over the covers. He brought one up to his face, inspecting it, watching it shiver; and after a moment's consideration, he then crawled over to Yugi's side, not caring, and wrapped an arm around the other. Just… to make sure.
