    Even in your dreams, he’s there

    2 years. It had been 2 years since the battle between Yugi and the Pharaoh, Atem. 2 years since Atem had returned to the afterlife. Atem’s departure had been hard on everyone but it hurt you and Yugi the most. For Yugi, it was because he had basically been his partner and had shared a body with him. For you, it was because you had loved him with all your heart. You never knew why but since the very beginning, there had always been a pull between you and Atem, like destiny was intertwining your strings together. You always held your memories with him close to your heart, even when the ache had dulled after so long.

    Lately, you’ve been getting strange dreams. In these dreams, you always find yourself in a palace of Egypt, surrounded by warmth and luxuries. You would always see him, Atem, in Egyptian clothing fit for a Pharaoh with that soft smile he always used to give you. Sometimes he would speak to you, sometimes he wouldn’t. He would just offer his presence, one that always grounded you. You never told the others about these dreams, thinking that it might just be a coincidence and that it would pass…but they never did. It was now late at night and you were exhausted. What will fate show you tonight? That is up to you.
