========================================
Without any hesitation or thinking, you ran to Yami's arms in absolute relief and happiness. He seemed to take it well, as he is the one who opened his arms in the first place and wrapped his arms around you moments after.
"Sorry we worried you, (y/n)." Yami apologized as he tightened the embrace just a little.
You never felt so much relief in so long you were almost alienated at the fact you ever felt this way.
"You really scared me there, not gonna lie." Your voice managed to speak out and you heard Yami laugh,
"Yeah, I figured as much," He nodded and pulled you back, "Are you alright? Last I heard from Mokuba you had severe pain."
"Oh.." You blinked and realized what he had meant. Your stomach dropped and your eye grew wide; he was referring to when the Seal literally malfunctioned because it didn't get what it wanted-
"Oh...Oh yeah I am fine! Totally!" You lied, "I...uh...packed painkillers! Darn...these back pains..." You laughed as you snapped your fingers to form hand-guns. "...Took them once I came over here and waited for the pain to go like a....a bazooka. Yeah. A bazooka."
Yami raised an eyebrow,
"Is that right?"
"Yes. Totally."
"And...may I ask, what is a bazooka?" Yami asked,
"you...you don't know what a bazooka is?" You blinked to watch him shake his head,
"No. What is it?"
"It's like....a giant explosive gun..." You tried to explain what a bazooka is. Wow, here you are, talking with some ancient spirit about a modern gun - almost like the duel and anxiety you had never existed-
Oh God, the duel.
You stopped talking and stared at the floor as you remembered how you were throughout the duel. You never talked to anyone, not even Mokuba. You basically ignored everyone and stared at the duel-
how selfish you thought to yourself,
"Hey, what's wrong?" Yami asked, "...Is it that I asked too many questions about this explosive thing?"
"No...." You shook your head lightly and bit your lip, now feeling guilty for treating everyone like that. "...s-sorry for...uh...ignoring your friends....I want to apologize to both of you for that."
"What?" Yami blinked, "You ignored them?"
"Yeah.." Your teeth practically bit through your lip, "...I...I did...but I didn't mean to...I was really scared that....uh...Marik would take your puzzle..." Your fists clenched as your heart started to race,
"...Yugi wants me to tell you it's alright." Yami spoke, "And honestly it's alright from me too, it's very hard to socialize when you're in a drastic situation like what Yugi's been through recently. I am sure everyone understands." He consoled as he patted your back, warmth went down your spine and you felt a little more confident.
That isn't weird at all...
"....you and your consolements.." You gave a tiny smile, "...but the least I can do is apologize to everyone..." You took a deep breath to calm your beating heart and looked at Yami, "I mean, you aren't really the one directly involved with me and your friends n stuff..."
