“I’m the Shadow Born.”
“I’m the Shadow Master.”
“That’s not fair.”
“What?”
“That you’re the Shadow Master.”
“What do you mean, that’s not fair?”
“You’re the Shadow Master. You said it yourself. It’s not fair.”
“I was around long before your former vessel was even born, let alone gather enough hate to create you. Quit your whining.”
“But it’s worth more!”
“Why can’t you handle the truth?”
“You can’t be the Shadow Master.”
“I certainly as hell can be! I am the Shadow Master and there is nothing you can do about it.”
“Stupid piece of...”
“Write the score down. Quit being such a baby.”
“I’m not! You’re cheating!”
”God, you’re such a whiny bitch when you’re playing scrabble, Ishtar.”
“Shut the fuck up, Bakura.”

Title: For our world has ended, we’re looking forward to a new beginning
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh!
Pairing: Ryou/Yuugi
Warning: a bit of melodrama
Drabble for ryuuseisui

The tea was almost finished; Mutouh Yuugi waited patiently until the water boiled before pouring it into the pot. He placed it carefully on the tray, next to the cups, a jar of honey, a bowl of sugar, and a plate with assorted cookies. Lifting the tray up, he turned away from the stove and walked over to the large kitchen table.
Bakura Ryou watched him; eyes slightly narrowed, as there seemed to be something ‘off’ with his friend. He knew what it was, even without thinking about it- Yuugi didn’t wear his Sennen Puzzle. Ryou brought his hand up to his chest, his fingers vaguely tracing a circle on his striped shirt... a movement that caught Yuugi’s eye, and he smiled, albeit a bit wanly.

“They’re both gone, aren’t they.”
“Yes. Gone, but not forgotten.”
“No, not forgotten. Never.” Yuugi placed the cups on the table, asking whether Ryou would like sugar or honey in his tea, and offering him one of the cookies.
“You know... I can never forget that moment that.. your.. ah.. “
“Atemu,” Yuugi said, smiling in fond remembrance of the spirit of his Puzzle. “His name was... is... Atemu.”
“He said that every evil was removed from the Ring,” Ryou picked up his sentence again, gently blowing at the scorching hot tea. Yuugi nodded.
“They’re both gone, aren’t they.”
“Yes. Gone, bur not forgotten.”
“No, not forgotten. Never.”
Silence.

“Do you miss him?”
“Yes. You?”
“Sort of. He wasn’t a good spirit like yours was, Yuugi... but he never hurt me. Never.”
Ryou wasn’t really surprised to feel Yuugi’s hand on his. So warm. So comforting.
“I know, Ryou. You’re not alone in this, you know that.”
“Our world has ended,” Ryou suddenly said, not looking at Yuugi, but at his tea, as if there were any answers hidden in the liquid.
“We’re looking forward to a new beginning,” Yuugi responded, and mentally let out a sigh of relief when Ryou put his other hand over his. Finally putting his other hand over Ryou’s again, Yuugi smiled at him. “A new beginning.”
“Gone, but not forgotten.”
“Never forgotten. They gave us a new beginning.”
“A new beginning.”

Thanks so much! *glomps* I really like the simple, ordinary setting of the scene, which seems to contrast with the characters' thoughts/conversation. X3 I love their interaction and how you portrayed them, too, and I thought the recurring 'gone, but not forgotten' idea was nice.

Thank you~!

^__^ You're welcome, I'm glad you liked your drabble! It's the first one I wrote- I can't seem to keep a story under 50K because I always feel like I have to tell and show so much, but the purpose of a drabble is ofcourse to keep it short and to the point as possible ^^. My first shot at Yuugi & Ryou as well. Glad you liked it!
