Another week, another story.

I just noticed the last one wasn't really a pivotal moment. Well, it could have been when he was about to go back to… I don't know. Feel free to make something up. XD

This one will be, don't worry.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!


Holding Hands

Boarding that ship was hard enough, but doing it with his closest friends was even harder. He didn't know what he was going to do without…

No, don't think of that, Yugi reminded himself for the hundredth time. Just enjoy each moment.

He absentmindedly walked around the deck, breathing in the salty and seaweedy air, enjoying the small freedom he got from being out in the open, being free of monsters and evil entities trying to take over the world, just being able to relax for the first time in his four years of high school.

"Has it really been that long?" Atem materialized next to Yugi, looking down at his shorter counterpart with a slight glint of humor in his eye. "It feels much shorter than that."

Yugi openly laughed, allowing the easy conversation calm his jittery heart. "I know."

Atem placed his hand on Yugi's shoulder briefly, a small act of kindness as well as a reminder, before slipping back into the Millennium Puzzle before Anzu appeared next to the amethyst eyed boy, her eyebrows knit together with a small bit of worry.

"I know what you are thinking," Yugi said just as she opened her mouth. "I'm fine."

Her worried expression morphed to one of doubt. "I know you are lying to me to get me off your back." She poked him in the chest in a demanding fashion. "Well it is not going to work."

Yugi sighed, knowing that she was right. He turned his gaze back to the seemingly endless ocean. "Can we just enjoy this moment then? No worries. No future. Just now."

A soft and gentle hand quietly met his, the fingers tenderly entwining with his. Anzu's face glowed. "Okay."


:D I like this one. Cute, easy, to the point.

Over and out,
