Yugi at on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands. He was trying to block out everything his mind was telling him. Those unwanted thoughts, lies, and memories circulating through his head. He wanted to talk about it, however, his mind told him that he didn't deserve to. It told him that no one wanted to listen. If Yami was there, he would've told him otherwise. He would've been comforted by the spirit and told that those were just lies.
But, he was gone. He had been gone. For months now. The pain still cut him. It still dug into him like a knife. His mind told him that he should be over it. That it shouldn't bother him anymore. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there on the bed like that, before surprisingly gentle hands pried his own hands away from his face. Yugi looked up in surprise to see his boyfriend kneeling on the floor in front of him.
Seto stared at him, analyzing the smaller of the two. Carefully, he pulled Yugi into his embrace, the smaller now on the floor with him. Yugi closed his eyes, silently thanking Seto for the contact.
"What's wrong?" The words were soft. So soft that Yugi wasn't sure that they were even spoken. He just sighed quietly, the words that so badly wanted to be said stuck in his throat. Seto didn't press. He just held his boyfriend close. After what seemed like forever, Yugi spoke. "It's just.. It's.." Seto cut him off. "Don't tell me it's nothing." This caught Yugi by surprise. "What?"
"I know it's something. There's no point in trying to hide it. An idiot with absolutely no common sense could tell something is wrong by just looking at you." This statement brought a small, sad smile to Yugi's face. "It's just.. It still bothers me Seto. And, I know it's been months and I should be over it-" Again, he was cut off. "Yugi. It's going to upset you. I understand that. I would be a fool to think otherwise. I don't expect you to just get over someone that you shared everything with. Hell, you shared your own body and mind with him. I know it's going to bother you, Yugi."
Yugi stayed silent and let his mind process this. Then, he spoke once more. "Thank you.." Seto just snorted in response. "Don't thank me, you dweeb." "I want to. I want to thank you. For everything."
He didn't get a response after that. Suddenly, he felt himself get lifted up and carried back onto the bed, Seto laying down with Yugi in his arms. "What are you doing?"
"Shh.." Seto shushed softly Yugi sighed quietly through his nose. It felt like they had laid there for an eternity and Yugi started to feel drowsy. "Seto..?" He received a hum in response. "I love you."
Seto didn't say anything. He just pulled him closer and pressed a kiss to his forehead, mumbling a soft "I love you, too."
Yugi eventually let himself drift off to sleep. Seto studied him for awhile, before sighing softly and letting sleep claim him as well.
