He was vaguely aware of Anzu pulling him up, and resting his head on her lap. All that mattered to him was Atem, and that soon, he wouldn’t be with him anymore.

I just want you to stay!” “But I don’t want to be the winner!” Yugi cried. “Get up, aibou,” Atem said, “The winner shouldn’t be the one on his knees.” He turned his head to see Atem smiling softly at him, his eyes shining with pride.
