[Yuya is afraid.

The darkness that's been lingering in his soul seems to claw at him from the inside, grabbing him with sharp talons until all he could do was begin to drown in it. It made him want to claw at himself, tug his hair out of its roots as long as the pain is able to distract him from the monster lurking inside of him.

His breath hitches as he stumbles into the dark corridor, the night seemingly longer ever since they've arrived in Heartland. The night chills sends goose bumps rising on his arms, and he held back a choked sob as he quietly made his way to where Yuto's room is. Everyone has their own room, all of them tired and seemingly worn out from the endless duels that keep coming their way. But it's in this world that Yuya can feel the darkness pressing down on him, stronger than it was back in Standard and Synchro.

He reaches Yuto's door, fingers curling slightly as he gently rapped his knuckles against the door.]

...Yuto?

[Yuto isn't sleeping. In the deem light of a single bulb, he's browsing through his cards, rethinking the strategy. There's a deep frown on his face. The war is not over, after all, and what awaits them is just more duels, duels they can't lose. Yuto wouldn't bare if something happened to any of his friends. He's lost too many people already and he vows in his heart that he will protect everyone no matter what.

That's why he has to focus and make the best strategy he can.

His thoughts are suddenly interrupted when he hears knocking on the door. His first thought is "Shun", but then he can't imagine that his best friend would knock and wait for him to open the door. So if it's not Shun, then who?

Yuto makes his way towards the door and opens it. His eyes widen slightly.]

Yuya?

[His counterpart looks... so strange. Like he's afraid of something. Yuto opens the door wider and gestures for Yuya to come in.]

Did something happen?

[Something is very wrong, but right now Yuto can't exactly tell what. It feels like something is squeezing his own heart. Is it worry? Or...]

[Somehow, Yuya isn't surprised at all to know that his counterpart is still awake. They've been working together for so long already, after all, jumping through dimensions and both of them trying to get Yuzu and Ruri back from the people who's taken them.

Even now, here in Heartland, both Yuto and Shun seems to be filled with a stronger motivation now that it's hard to see both of them trying to get any decent sleep.

Yuya, though, is more surprised Yuto has opened his door at all. It's enough to catch him off guard, never thinking about the possibility that Yuto would open the door, even more for the other to gesture him inside.

Reflexively, a smile comes onto his face.]

Sorry, was I bothering you? [He tries not to let the fear creep into his voice even as he steps into Yuto's room.

After all, it's not very often he'd get the chance.]

[It's natural that both Yuto and Shun are doing anything they can when they're in Heartland. Even though in ruins, it's still their beloved hometown. That's also a reason why it's not often for Yuto to even be in his room. He's here only when he needs sleep or time to think. Otherwise he's fighting, helping others, doing something.

Still he doesn't see the reason why Yuya would be surprised to see him open the door. The smile on his counterpart's face isn't helping at all either.

At the question, Yuto looks at his deck, then approaches it and puts it away.]

No.

[He looks at Yuya, studying him for a moment. His gaze is stern, but there is concern in it as well.]

So what happened?

[Yuto is never around, but then again, Yuya doesn't blame him. He's usually going out himself, doing what he can to help fix their hometown and avoiding the Obelisk Force at the same time.

Running into Edo was just an unwanted interference, something that's triggered something in Yuya that he wants to ignore.

Yuya isn't so oblivious, though, to see Yuto put his deck away. So he's been up strategizing again.

The smile turns sheepish, slightly crooked.]

Nothing happened! [Lies; they're still connected, after all.

Yuya rubs the back of his head.] Guess I uh...just wanted to talk, but I can leave. [This...feels awkward. Maybe he shouldn't have come here, after all.]

[There are times like this, when Yuto wishes he could read minds. Or at least, that he could read Yuya's mind, because his counterpart is so obviously trying to hide something from him. Yuto can tell he's afraid, but of what?]

Something happened. [There's no doubt in his voice as he says that. He walks up closer to Yuya, his grey eyes are fixed on the other as if trying to find the answers for his questions in his counterpart's expression.]

If you wanted to talk, then let's talk.

[But his gaze softens, showing worry. If Yuya doesn't want to tell him, then he won't pry it out of him. But there's one thing he wants his counterpart to know.]

...You know you can tell me everything, right? [He'll always listen.]

Edited 2017-04-29 07:24 (UTC)

["...You know you can tell me everything, right?" It's something Yuya knows, something he's been assured of before.

His eyes lower to the floor in thought before he looks back at Yuto, his smile a little more genuine this time.]

I know I can.

[He can and it's because he trusts Yuto that he finally says:]

Lately, I've just been feeling like there's this...darkness trying to control me. [His expression changes, the fear evident once more.] Almost as if there's this monster inside of me that keeps trying to claw its way out and the more I duel, the more I see so many innocent people get turned into cards--

[He trails off, hand reaching up to grab his own shirt over his heart. Yuya can still feel it now, the way that darkness is still trying to take over him.]

I'm afraid that I won't be myself by the time the war is over.

[It's said quietly, almost as if acknowledging that means it'll truly happen. But then he smiles at Yuto again.] That sounds kind of silly, though, doesn't it?

[Yuto listens to Yuya talk and the moment the other grabs his shirt, Yuto does exactly the same thing. He places his own hand over his heart like he can feel the darkness inside his own soul, too. He understands what Yuya is talking about - Yuto had felt something take him over when he dueled Yugo. The hatred, the rage that tried to consume him back then was terrifying.

He closes his eyes.]

It doesn't.

[He looks at Yuya again, grabbing his counterpart's hand in his own and giving it a firm squeeze. His expression is serious and determined.]

It doesn't sound silly, but you don't have to be afraid. I won't allow anything like that to happen to you.

[If he'll fall into darkness, Yuto will bring him back, just like Yuya brought him back during that duel with Yugo. It's simple to him and Yuto doesn't even consider that he may be powerless against the monster that dwells within Yuya's soul.

He wants to protect Yuya and he will do it no matter what. That's all.]

[It's a darkness that lingers inside all of them. The more they keep going on, the stronger the darkness will become. It fuels on their anger, their hatred, and Yuya's experienced it before when he's allowed himself to let that hatred consume him. It worsens with every duel, the way Yuya would allow himself to actually be affected by the words thrown at him, filled with hate towards his father.

And then towards him.

He looks at Yuto when his counterpart he grabs his hand, squeezing it. It makes him feel warm inside, drawing a soft laugh out of him.]

Like a knight, right?

[Yuto's always been so selfless in that regard, but also so reckless that Yuya sometimes follow in his steps. In a way, it makes sense, he guesses.

But Yuya smiles at him, squeezing Yuto's hand.]

But I don't want anything happening to you either, Yuto. [Yuto's already lost too many people, Yuya's lost those dear to him. How would either of them fare if something happens to the other?]

[When Yuya laughs and says that, Yuto blinks then immediately gets reminded of his duel with Sawatari and how that guy called him "Knight-kun". Did Yuya heard that from him?

Or maybe Yuto really is acting like a knight, even though he's not fully aware of it. But it doesn't matter. He wants Yuya to know that he's safe because Yuto will protect him.

He smiles a little when he hears that other part and when his counterpart squeezes his hand back. Of course they don't want to lose each other. They're like two pieces of one whole and frankly, Yuto can't imagine what he would do if Yuya suddenly disappeared from his life. He's grown so used to having the other around.]

I know. I'll be careful.

[He pauses, his smile becoming warmer.]

So don't worry about anything, okay?

[Yuya smiles wider.

The knight title really does suit Yuto well, even if his counterpart hasn't seemed to realize it. Through everything they've been through, Yuya has always felt around Yuto. Maybe it's because they're counterparts or by something else, but not once has Yuya ever felt afraid of Yuto.

So, hearing his promise to protect him, it makes Yuya happy.]

You better be careful or I'll have to end up saving the knight.

[He's teasing and grinning. It's nice to see Yuto smile, so he makes sure to keep it in his memories.]

Easier said than done.

I'll make sure you won't have to do that.

[He knows that if anything happened to him Yuya would be able to save him, but... For now he wants to be the protector. Besides, he would hate if Yuya got hurt in any way.

He still holds his counterpart's hand in his own, but he doesn't even realize it, like doing this is the most natural thing in the world.]

...If you worry this much you can always stay here for the night. [Hopefully some company will be enough to comfort Yuya. And Yuto can watch over him, too.

There's only one old bed in here, but Yuto doesn't mind sleeping on the floor.]

Sometimes the jester has to come help out the knight.

[Yuya's all for Yuto being the protector, but Yuya....Yuya doesn't feel right having someone else risk their life on the line for him.

A step closer so he could bump their foreheads together. It's scary how natural it is to be like this with Yuto. Yuya's never really done anything like this before, not even to Yuzu, so it's new but comforting and perfectly natural.

But at the suggestion, Yuya pulls back, eyes wide with surprise as he looks at Yuto.]

Are you sure? I've already bothered-- [He cuts himself off, eyes peering around Yuto and on the bed.] ...Then is it alright if you sleep with me, too?

[It catches him completely off guard when Yuya's forehead touches his own, but it doesn't take him long to realize that he likes having Yuya this close. Is it because of their connection? He doesn't know, but it warms his heart and suddenly the world doesn't seem like such a bad place anymore.

When Yuya pulls back, Yuto squeezes his hand one more in some feeble attempt to stop him.

And it seems they both just keep on surprising each other, because Yuto didn't expect Yuya to ask him that. Yuto looks at the bed, then at his counterpart. He doesn't mind sharing the bed, but...]

...It's fine, but are you sure about that? [He pauses.] I can just sleep on the floor.

[When Yuto squeezes his hand, Yuya gently squeezes back.

He's not going to go anywhere, and it's almost funny how their roles seemed a little reversed but that's okay. Yuya doesn't want to separate from Yuto, especially not after what they've been through, but it feels like it'll take a lot just for anyone to keep them completely apart.

It has him leaning again, just to hoop their noses together.

Leaning back, Yuya grins.]

It's big enough to hold both of us, right? It'll be completely fine.

[Yuya just wants to remain close to Yuto.]

[Yuto just looks at the other for a moment longer before he grabs Yuya's other hand then leans close until their foreheads and noses are touching.

And he gives his counterpart a soft smile.]

Alright.

[With that said he leans away a little and lightly pulls the other towards bed.

All of this feels so strangely natural for him to do, but for now he thinks of it as a result of their connection more than anything else. But he's glad. He's glad that he can do something to drive Yuya's fears away.]

[Yuto keeps surprising him tonight, but it's a happy sort of surprise.

So he follows Yuto to the bed, squeezsing his hand a bit in gratitude.

Thank you.

Yuya's sure he doesn't need to speak it aloud in words. In fact, on some level, he's sure that he doesn't need to say it at all, but being with Yuto helps. Their closeness felt so natural, as if they've always been two pieces of a whole. Not quite like twins, but something similar.

Whatever the reason, it has Yuya practically tackle Yuto down onto the bed when they're close enough, arms wrapped around his counterpart.]

[Yuya doesn't need to say anything; Yuto can see the gratitude in his smile, in his expression, in the way he squeezes his hand back.

But the tackle hug is again unexpected. Yuto lets a small gasp when Yuya lands on top of him. For some odd reason his heart starts beating faster, but he ignores it. Yuto is happy, he's so happy to be this close and without thinking another moment of it he wraps his arms around Yuya.

It feels like he's just gotten everything he's ever wanted in life, like feeling Yuya's warmth against him makes him feel whole and complete.

At the very same time he thinks to himself that he'd love to stay like this forever. Is he being weird for thinking that? Is it a selfish wish? It definitely is.

So he lets himself enjoy this moment for as long as he can.]

[For tonight, let them be selfish just this once.

When dawn breaks through and morning comes once more, this happy moment won't be able to last for much longer. Reality will hit them again, reminding them that there's still a war to be had, people to save.

Relieved that Yuto hasn't pushed him off, Yuya rests his head on his counterpart's chest, ear pressed against it in order to listen to his heartbeat. The steady rhythm is enough to have Yuya's eyes slip shut, his body relaxing for the first time since tonight.

For now, he'll bask in this warmth, enjoy it for however long he can. For now, he'll allow himself to be selfish before they have to wake up and start a new day.]

[As Yuto is watching Yuya, he begins to trace circles in the other's back, smiling down at him and wishing he could always be able to protect Yuya from any fears and worries. His touch becomes lighter and slower, but Yuto is planning to stay awake until he makes sure that Yuya falls in a peaceful slumber.

He doesn't want to think of what will happened tomorrow, but he is definitely not going to leave Yuya all alone unless it's absolutely necessary.

But that's tomorrow.

He reaches up to gently brush Yuya's hair with his fingers and lets himself close his eyes.]

[Yuya lets out a pleased hum, feeling those circles on his back. It's enough to get him to relax further.

That combined with the steady beat of Yuto's heart, it's enough to lull Yuya into a slumber. For once, it's a sleep without any worries, without having to keep himself alert at all times as the stress from his fears and worries finally begin to ebb away.

Dawn will come and with it, a new day, but for tonight, Yuya will allow himself to be able to sleep in his counterpart's arms.

He curls up against Yuto, hold tightening just the slightest as if assuring himself that his counterpart suddenly won't disappear from him.]

[And Yuto stays awake just a few moments before sleep takes over his mind, making him oblivious to what is happening around. All what matters is the warmth he feels against himself and comfort that it brings to his soul.

There are no nightmares haunting him tonight. He doesn't awake until the very morning either.

It's so strange. He doesn't remember when was the last time he slept so well and for so long. Blinking the sleepiness away, Yuto looks down to see Yuya still in his arms.

So it wasn't a dream.

That makes Yuto smile a little.

It's morning. They should go now. This world is still at war and so much has to be done. And even though Yuto knows that he doesn't have a heart to wake Yuya up. On top of that, he really wants to stay like this just a moment longer.]

[Yuya shifts a bit, refusing to wake up.

It's been one of the first nights he's been able to sleep fitfully, but his body is beginning to wake, slowly coming to terms with the waking world again.

He wakes up, though he doesn't move just yet. A quick glance around the room has him wondering where he is before he becomes aware of the warm body just below him. Slightly startled, Yuya looks at the person whose arms he's in, realizing that it's Yuto.

It has him relaxing significantly, greeting his counterpart with a grin.]

Morning.

[Yuto observes him for that moment and frowns slightly until Yuya relaxes again. In response for the grin he gives the other a small smile and a nod.]

I hope you slept well...

[The simile disappears from his face as Yuto's gaze shifts to the ceiling.]

Because we have a lot to do today. [Just like everyday anyway. He loosens his embrace around Yuya to let him stand up if he wants to.]

[Like that, the dream is a memory and Yuya nods.

He gets off of Yuto, quickly getting off the bed and he looks over at his counterpart.]

I didn't squish you, did I?

[He's a little surprised Yuto hasn't even moved him at all. Yuya's sure he could've been heavy, and sleeping on Yuto all night might've been uncomfortable for his counterpart.]

You know who I want~
