If you absolutely insist on doing this, it might be beneficial for you to at least make more icons first. I don't think five is going to cut it.

But if you really want my opinion, I think you should abandon this idea now and leave me be. I made the choice to move on, you can't continue to keep me here. It's time for me to be at peace.

...

You could at least pretend to listen.

Mou Hitori no Boku...

...Partner?

Mou Hitori no Boku.

[Have a relived smile. He's glad to see you. Even if you aren't happy to be here.]

I don't think they ever listen. Or even pretend to.

I told you, you shouldn't call me that anymore...

[He's not too sure what to do or say. On the one hand, he's incredibly happy to see Yuugi. On the other hand, he knows it's going to be short lived. And something's off about it, anyway... So he fidgets and doesn't look directly at him.]

No, I suppose they don't. Yours is still treating you well, I hope?

[Have a confused look.]

I shouldn't...? What should I call you then?

[Yuugi is confused ~~especially since his mun is evil and took him from a canon point earlier then the Memory Arc~~, you called him 'partner' after all. He knows from the way his other is talking that something happened, probably that something that he had known would be coming since Battle City.]

Mmmm. [Have a nod.] Although she's placed me in a game that involves a mist that apparently makes people crazy and cannibalistic elves, although I haven't actually seen the elves yet. The others told me about them.

None of our friends are there, though.

[He hopes that they're all right.]

Well, you should probably call me by my name...

[Yuugi doesn't seem to understand what Atem's talking about. Does that mean he doesn't know? If that's the case, then in Yuugi's mind, the two of them are still together!]

...What? [That definitely got his attention.] Cannibalistic elves?! Why would she put you into such a dangerous place?!

Your name? But how would --

[A pause. He was always good at puzzles after all, and it only takes him a second to realize what the piece he was missing was.]

You got your memories back!

[And he is ecstatic for you, because he knows how important that was for you.]

[The next bit has him pausing, frowning as he thinks.]

I don't know. But she didn't leave me defenseless, I can summon Kuriboh!

[Although what Kuriboh can do against the elves is anyone's guess.]

I did. In a sense, anyway. [He frowns a bit. The whole thing had been so disorienting, he wasn't really sure how to describe it. He knew some things, and he knew who he was, but the game Bakura had made them play didn't turn out accurately to how things had actually played out in Egypt. So things were still hazy.]

Ah. [At that, he smiles.] That's good. Kuriboh has never let us down before, I'm sure he'll protect you wherever you go.

[A frown. A sense? What did that mean?]

He did! I didn't even know I could do it until I accidentally called him out while trying to get away from something that looked like the Blue Eyes White Dragon.

[He glances over at his other.]

So... what do you want me to call you then?

[There's a part of him that's sad, Mou Hitori no Boku will always be Mou Hitori no Boku to him, even when they're separated. Not that Yuugi thinks of the other as just another part of him, far from it. His other deserves to know the truth and be his own person, it's just... his other has always been his other and Yuugi can't think of another way to say how important the Pharaoh is to him.]

[His eyebrow twitches up slightly.]

The Blue Eyes White Dragon? Could Kaiba be there, by chance?

[He looks away and holds back a sigh. This was... difficult. If Yuugi didn't know yet what was coming for them, then Atem couldn't bring himself to say it. He didn't want to hurt Yuugi more, and it still.. it still hurt him too much.] For now, call me what you'd like.

I don't think so, I think if he was, then Kaiba-kun would have said something to me by now. I've been there for almost two months, after all. I mean, once I mentioned Duel Monsters and had been showing some of the others my deck, one of them told me that someone who played had been there, but it had been someone named Johan.

[There's a pause as he looks up at the other.]

Mou Hitori no Boku, if you don't want me to call you that, then I won't. I will always be willing to share my name and my memories with you, but you deserve to be your own person too.

Hmm. That's not a familiar name. Still, it means that perhaps one of your friends will be there with you soon, if others from your world have been there before. I don't know if it's something necessarily to hope for, but still.

[He still doesn't really want to look at Yuugi. Atem had told Yuugi something similar, after the Ceremonial Duel. Neither of them really knew how to be just themselves without the other, it seemed. That made it all the worse.]

I am my own person, regardless of what you call me. As such, you can call me whatever you'd like. If you wish to continue to call me 'Mou Hitori no Boku,' as you have done up 'til now, than you may.

Our world, Mou Hitori no Boku. You live there too, remember?

[Nudging slightly. Yes, he realizes he's using the present tense, but he doesn't care. Even if they do end up separated, Yuugi isn't going to deny that the other even existed.]

[His face scrunches up in a pout.]

That's not what I asked, Mou Hitori no Boku, what do you want to be called?

Yes, but- [He sighs.] That was a very long time ago.

[Now he's starting to get irritated a bit.] I don't know. Nothing truly seems right, or seems to fit. So, please, just call me Mou Hitori no Boku. It's... familiar.

[Yuugi's silent for a moment, before he looks up at the other.]

Mou Hitori no Boku, even when we're separated, we're still together. [He gives a smile and places a hand over his heart.] Right here. You'll still be with me and I'll still be with you. Maybe not physically, but in our hearts.

[He pauses, his lips turning down slightly in a frown as he nods.] All right.

[For the first time, Atem almost wants to scream at Yuugi. He wants to yell at him and tell him that they weren't going to simply be separated, Atem is dead, and Yuugi was going to go on living and, in retrospect, Atem was only a fleeting moment in his life. And now that Atem had been apart from Yuugi, he could honestly say that it felt wrong, but what was the point in saying that now? Nothing could be changed, and this Yuugi had no idea what was to come and what it would mean, so all Atem says is:]

Yes, you're right.

[He sighs, and then tries to crack a smile.] So, have you at least made new friends in the place you're in?

[He nods enthusiastically.]

Utena is really nice. And I met a couple of others too. It's not the same as having you or the others there, but I'm managing. I've been trying to find a job, but...

[He trails off with a shrug.]

What about you, Mou Hitori no Boku? Is your mun going to place you somewhere?

[He flinches.] My mundane just screamed in my ear. She seems delighted about this Utena person. [His eyes roll.] I'm glad to hear you're doing well. You're smart and a hard worker. I'm sure you won't have trouble finding a job.

She seems to have an idea to do so. She keeps mentioning a canon-review and something about a campaign, but I'm not too clear on the details.

Utena's one of the first ones I met, actually. She's the one that gave me a lot of information about where I woke up.

Well, see... part of the problem is that I'm not native. There's a few places that are friendly to those that come through the door, but...

I'll find one, I know I will. I'll just have to watch my ivories until I do.

I don't think the muns ever tell us the details. I found out what she was planning until she had already put her plan into motion.

I have complete confidence that you'll find what you need, partner.

Somehow I suspect my situation will be much the same. She seems to want to keep me out in the dark.

Thanks, Mou Hitori no Boku.

I think that they get some sort of pleasure or something out of doing that. I don't understand it myself.

They're rather frightening, I must admit. Is it normal for them to fantasize excessively about your death?

I don't know. Mine isn't planning on killing me anytime soon. [Pause] At least, I don't think she is. I know that she's all about the "angst" though.

Mine has a particularly disturbing fascination with the thought of me getting my throat slit. She plays out the scenario in her head at least once a day.

[Have a rapid blinking of wide eyes. Because he's not sure what he's supposed to say to that. Except now he's picturing it and he really wishes he could stop thinking about that because it's Mou Hitori no Boku.]

But- but why?

I have a feeling that they could argue about this all day

They literally could, lol.

And after all this, he still doesn't get his other's actual name. XD

Atem's a persistent little shit. |D

Oh, Atem, why so depressing? :|

because his life (or lack thereof) is depressing ;__;

Yuugi says he'll just have to try to make your life not depressing then.

he'll have to do it tomorrow as i'm off to bed! 8) night!
