do you really think yami could help you? all i have to do is stab you
“You clearly don’t know what he’s capable of. I just saved you, you know. I can’t keep guaranteeing your safety if you keep this up though,” he sighed.
Whether he was Yami or Atem, one thing was always for sure, his partner was extremely protective of him. This masked person was already treading on thin ice, they’d fall through it if they weren’t careful.
“Besides, you and I both know you’re not going to actually stab me. Every person who came after me did it subtly and didn’t reveal their plan until they felt they had the upper hand. That’s why I know that you’re all talk.”
your cute yugi you'd be even cuter covered in blood with my knife
“Yeeaahh, do you know how many have tried before you? I’ve lost count.” He was convinced these people just wanted a reaction by this point. So he wouldn’t give them one.
“Ah…” How to explain? Yami glanced around. Nothing seemed to be moving exactly. Was he really just being paranoid? “All the same… I appreciate having your company. So… Why are you out here after dark?”
“Its no problem, besides, its not like I hate your company or anything,” he replied and snickered, playfully bumping him with his shoulder. Though when the question came of why he was out there, the smile fell away and he shrugged.
“No reason, just got restless again, I guess. Besides, its nice being out here when its cooler and when its less busy. You?”
“Yo.” He nodded. “The shadows seem unusually… Active tonight. So… I don’t want to take any chances. Perhaps I am being a bit paranoid but… Better safe than sorry, right?”
“Active?” he echoed in confusion. A frown of concern furrowing his brows, he looked around them as if to see for himself what Yami was telling him. He could just be speaking in metaphor too though. “You’re right, there’s strength in numbers anyway.”
“Um.. Well "aibou” means partner. You just have to find someone who sees you that way, I think. Atem started calling me that on his own during our journey as we got closer.“
