Love business

The lilac eyes were slyly opened, and I could see how dark my room was. I sat on the bed, still guiding my senses, and I could hear a female voice whipping behind the closed door. I listened for a while, almost inevitably and noticed that it was Téa's voice.

- Hmm, right. No, of course, this is great. Yes, yes, I will warn you, don't worry. He will be relieved by the news. Yes, thank you, see you later. The voice finally stopped.

I scratched my eyes, and put my feet on the icy floor. I mumbled a little at the chill that went up my body and went to the door to open it. When I did, I found Téa hanging up and Tristan by his side. She immediately turned to me and Tristan just turned to look at me.

- Ah, Yugi. - She smiled slightly. - Good Morning.

- Good morning buddy - Tristan smiled.

- Good morning people. - I smiled, letting my cheeks flush slightly.

- I have good news Yugi - Téa put her hand on my shoulder and guided me down the stairs. - Mokuba just called me, said Kaiba woke up.

- Oh, really? That's great! - Smiles widely - Can we visit him?

"I don't know if it's a good idea, Yugi," Tristan said. - Kaiba must not be in the best mood now, besides, he needs to rest, we would disturb him.

- Hm ... - I lowered my head. - You're right.

- Don't worry Yugi. - Téa smiled. - I know you feel bad for Kaiba, and I'm sure we will visit him soon.

- Right! - Smile.

We walked across the room to the table, where Joey was talking to my grandfather about some Monster Duel cards. We sat down and my grandfather got up, fetching the pancakes for our breakfast. Joey looked up at me and smiled, showing me a new letter he had won. We had breakfast, telling jokes and Tristan complaining that Joey snored all night and fidgeted in bed. Téa and I could only laugh with those two.

After that, we helped my grandfather with the homework so we could be free in the afternoon and do something more ... useful. Even so, tasks were unable to occupy my thoughts completely, leaving loopholes for the nightly events to come back to haunt me. I think my face of concern was so much, that Téa ended up calling me a corner to talk to me. We sat on the bed in my room and she looked at me tenderly, waving her brown hair slightly.

- What was Yugi? You look very worried to me ...

- Sorry, Téa. I sighed, looking into his eyes. - It's just ... I'm worried about Atem. - I looked away from hers.

- Ah Yugi .... Okay. You can talk to me about it, if you want. I also feel a little uneasy about this whole situation. I know it must be difficult for you.

- Yes. You know ... I'm facing a situation ... without him by my side. I think I got used to having him always by my side. - I sighed and put my hands on my temple, rubbing lightly with my fingers.

- I understand. He's your best friend, I imagine how upset you must be.

- Yeah ... he's my best friend ... - I spoke almost like a whisper.

- Did you manage to talk to him? - She looked at me more closely, which made me turn quickly to see her eyes.

- Um ... Yes. - I looked at her. - But, he was in trouble. I would tell you, but I didn't think so. I didn't want to worry you. He looked ... I don't know. With many problems, really.

- This is bad. Who knows what's going on. We have to find some way to help you Yugi! - She held my hands.

This reminded me that yesterday, Atem had deflected my touch and stepped back, as if he was afraid of what I would do to him.

- Yes. For sure, he needs us. - He said confidently and she smiled in return.

- Great. Now, tell me what he said to you.

It took a while, but I managed to report to Téa the whole previous night. She seemed increasingly apprehensive, but this increased her willingness to help Atem in some way. When I finished, some tears were already starting to flow over my eyes.

- Oh, Yugi! She noticed the tears and gently put her hands over my face. - Oh sorry. I didn't see that this issue was so delicate for you .... Please don't cry.

- It's all right. - I ran my hand over my eyes to wipe them. - It was just ... the concern speaking louder.

- I'm sure he'll be back soon, Yugi. - She kissed my forehead.

Everything seemed to remind me of him. It turns out that that gesture was too much. I ended up in tears and Téa was astonished, trying to console me. I am so weak. I can't even control my feelings for him. In the end, I ended up telling Téa what was going on. She seemed like a good listener, and patiently waited for me to tell my gummy reports of feelings. I wouldn't tell anyone other than Téa, I trusted her and for sure she Would you help me.

- Ah Yugi, that changes the facts. You're in love with him!

- Please say it low. - I blushed my cheeks and looked away.

- It's all right. See, there is nothing wrong with that. And he probably feels the same way.

- You think? - I frowned, staring at her.

- Yes. He's just a little reserved, you know him. But, the way you treat each other .... I'm sure he feels the same way about you. - She smiled tenderly.

At that time, Joey knocked on the door.

- Yugi? Téa? - He opened the door slowly and we looked at him. - Sorry, but we need to go. We'll be waiting outside. "He smiled slightly and closed the door.

- Thank you, Téa. - I smiled graciously - For everything. I will take your advice. We better go now ...

- I'm glad. Come on, walk me to the door.

We went down the floors and went to meet the two boys at the door. We said goodbye and I said I would keep in touch if anything happened to Pharaoh again. That day, I hoped that I would be able to connect with Atem again, through the Millennium Puzzle. I was so confused by this situation, with my feelings, I just couldn't stand being there without finding answers to what was eating at me.

I lay down on my bed and started curling up to sleep. When I got to sleep, my mind just wasn't teleported into the millennium. I woke up at dawn, disappointed and frustrated at not being able to do so. I got up and went to get a glass of water. I went down the stairs and headed for the sink, taking a glass to fill with water. I held it, but my hands felt shaky, weak and the glass slipped out of my hand.

I closed my eyes quickly expecting the sound of the glass being shattered on the floor and maybe my grandfather running up the stairs to find out where the fuss was coming from in the middle of the night. But the sound did not come. I opened my eyes slowly and saw the figure of Pharaoh. His hands held the glass precisely, as if it had been caught in the air. He returned it to my hand and ran his fingers gently over my skin.

- Take care, Yugi.
