So Where is the Line drawn?

Rated: T

Oneshot/Completed, (unless someone manages to pressure me into a sequel.)

Written by: Me! (Saij)

Summary: Atem is hunted, and Yugi is hunting him. A delicate game of predator and prey. Talking to his prey probably wasn’t his best play. But getting their hands stuck together and caught in a rainstorm definitely wasn’t part of the strategy. What’s this warmth in his chest?

Yugi isn’t sure what game he’s playing with this human anymore.

My submission for the 2023 Secret Santa event hosted by Hikari. A gift fic for @cloudsmachinations in which Yugi is an Ushtey (a monstrous water horse very similar to a Kelpie) and Atem is the unlucky (lucky?) human he’s hunting.

He hasn’t realized how quickly his heart is beating, even after they got up. Or maybe that was it— too much excitement and suddenly standing up. The slight and brief dizziness made Atem feel as light as feather but he doesn’t mind. It goes away quickly. His heartbeat’s rhythm gradually is then normalized as soon as the adrenaline rush diminishes. Mahad is looking at him and Yuugi from the small distance. Usually, he’s quick to stand before the pharaoh in a protective stance. But he knows it’s not needed. He knows Yuugi. And he is smiling to see him. And he’s probably just as happy as Atem is. And now if only Mana was here, she would be squealing about their reunion. That’s alright, she is at the palace somewhere, unsuspecting. It would be a big surprise.

Atem holds onto Yuugi’s hand despite not needing to anymore. He wants to feel his presence. It feels all too surreal. This is his partner. He’d thought that the second he passed the gates to the afterlife, that would be it. He would only have the memory of the friends he cherishes so dearly. He’d accepted it. Although, he did have days where he didn’t want to get up from bed, daydreaming of every moment with his friends that was engraved in his head. But he knew that he shouldn’t brood. He is back home, with his former friends. And he shouldn’t neglect that fact.

The pharaoh chuckles as the guards show signs of surprise when Yuugi spoke their language. It is impressive, to say the least.

“Is that so? I’m impressed.” He displays a smile. Though, he might be a tad upset thinking about the idea of not remembering Yuugi. He is glad that even after he crossed the afterlife he didn’t forget the memories he made in Domino City. And he wouldn’t want to imagine how it would’ve been if Yuugi came here when no one remembered him. He shake his head to rid himself from these thoughts.

“Come, I can show you around the palace. Mana will be really happy to see you.” He turns to glance at the high priest. “And I'm sure Mahad is too.” The time Yuugi pretty much landed on Atem was right when he'd walked down the stairs after he got up from his throne. A few other members of the court are observing the occurrence in the background.

╼ ༺ :||          Town... He was uninterested in her even after seeing the conjuration... Honestly she didn't know for certain and it came with a confused tilt of her head, but there was a good enough idea in any case. For at least in the desert, if one were following the water it would lead to civilization. And she'd been having luck so far with coming across places using the same mode of thought.

If the song were to break, her... puddle pony... would cease to exist. But given the current unknown circumstance, it'd perhaps be better to give some sort of guide and mayhap learn herself where the nearest town was.

Briefly breaking contact, Daneil hoisted herself up onto the watered back as the elemental snorted with droplets shaken from it's mane. The song wavered not. Could not.

Grasping flowing tendrils as she'd seen her prince do many a times, the girl steered the horse in command- though clearly inexperienced with equine riding of any sort of her own. Still she managed waving a hand that the stranger should follow.

Oh. Whoops. Looks like he spooked her.

"Sorry. Never seen a puddle pony before," he shrugged, subconsciously running his fingers through the ends of Cow's mane.

The horse snorted.

Ton ignored her.

"Right...While we're talking," he started, eye half-lidded and tone droning. "You wouldn't happen to know the way to the next town, would you?"

Pharaoh Atem naming all the horses in the palace stables and everyone expects the king's noble steeds to have majestic cool names but he keeps calling them cute stuff like "Fava Bean" and Priest Seto is furiously gritting his teeth every time he has to say one out loud

As much as I love the Millennium World Arc it’s also incredibly heartbreaking to watch Atem go through that. He finally has all the pieces needed to open the tablet of memories and they were all sure that he would remember who he was and then he DIDN’T. Instead he goes through a repeat of what he did when he woke up in the Millennium Puzzle where he doesn’t know what’s going on or anything at all but instead of getting to try to piece things together he’s dropped right into the middle of huge dire events. And he does gradually start to get things back but for a huge chunk of it he’s completely in the dark AGAIN. He didn’t actually start remembering things until around where TKB dropped him in the river and his friends gave him his name. And it’s heartbreaking. It’s heart breaking how for the majority of the arc he had to just take people’s word for shit and just blindly trust that they were being honest and that what they were informing him was true. The fact that he spent a year and a half getting used to being with Yugi in his time period and then within two seconds of entering the Millennium World he’s barraged by his past at a million miles an hour, and its not even an everyday kind of day its his friggin -coronation-. So of course he can’t excuse himself. Like thank goodness for royal attendants so he could try and get information from Shimon who was more than willing to explain things to him and didn’t get mad or confused by him not knowing what was going on, he just was like “okay I dunno why the Pharaoh needs an explanation but I’ll explain.” And just look at him.

Like he’s so overwhelmed and its so sad because yeah he’s finally getting answers about his past but like at the same time he’s not. Just as he was a stranger in Yugi’s body and life now he’s a stranger in his own body and his own life. Unlike the people in his memories he feels out of place and he IS out of place sitting here where everyone knows him and he SHOULD know these people and he DOESN’T.

The scene on the balcony where Yugi can feel his loneliness and Atem is thinking about all of these new but familiar faces he goes, “Everyone here knows who I am. But I don’t know anyone. As a Pharaoh, did I truly understand them? And did they know the real me?” ( Ep 203 11:38) And yet in spite of that he still tried his absolute best to properly navigate being a Pharaoh and he nails it. He steps in himself to deal with Yami Bakura each time, and even though he hasn’t touched a sword in over 3,000 years we see he still knows how to use one just like he still knows how to ride a horse. Any time there is a battle in this arc Atem is front and center being a leader and protecting people or on his way to the battle.

Even though Mahad isn’t there for long (I mean I guess he kind of is because he becomes a card) the scene of him and Atem running into Mana is one of my favorites because that moment Atem realizes that these two were his friends and he did have friends he relaxes and starts flourishing as a pharaoh.

"What in the...?" Curiosity got the better of her as she followed the officer, though stopped right at the doorway when she saw the commotion that was going on.

"Holy shit! Is she okay?! Don't hurt her!"

While she may have been annoyed by the chaos the horse caused earlier, it was still an animal. And working at a cafe that doubled as a homeless cat shelter she had a soft spot for animals, so she was kind of worried about the horse's safety, especially after seeing it thrash about.

"We just want her transported safely back to her home, not spook her half to death!" That's when she saw the horse fall over from the struggle, causing herself to audibly gasp. "Be careful, will ya?!"

Atem's voice could be heard from the back of the cafe as he walked back to the front. "Everyone's locked up and secure for the night, but we might have to check on them in the morn-"

"..."

"What in the world...?" That's when Atem himself saw the horse struggle with the officers trying to reel her in. Atem, with his experience in horses from his... ancient past could see something. The heavy breathing, the whites in her eyes, the making herself low to the ground.

She's... afraid. Or spooked, or something. Whatever was happening was scaring her.

"Colonel!" Atem peeked in from behind his supervisor, ignoring the look she was giving him. "She seems scared or spooked. If you know her then perhaps... you can get her home safely?"

@flamesignite

“She’s my horse, she stays at the Dominos Stables currently.” Roy explains to the officer. “My guess is the people that worked there left it open.” He does his best to explain what happened. “My name is Colonel Roy Mustang. I had just gotten off of work when I heard she was in this building.” He says honestly, “I am sorry for the trouble she has caused.” He says bowing to them. He was prepared to do what he could do in this moment. If he had to he would pay for any damages that the place has gotten because of Daisy.

“If I need to I can try to lead her in.” He’s not sure how she was with complete strangers considering what she dealt with at the auction. He knew that she was already stressed out.

Canon can be read into various ways, and people can and should play with the characters in the ways that appeal to them and make sense to them. So this is just me babbling some.

Part of the appeal of Seto Kaiba's character to me is that he does in his own way desire connection with someone else, and he does love, but he's also not in a mental and emotional place where he's capable of actually being able to connect yet, not in a stable sense. And I've been there -- many people have been there. (I was years-deep in harshly avoiding social connections at age 18 and it would be more years until I was out of that mental space, so I get it. I know others have been there too.) I think Seto does need time to work on himself. But my point here is, I admit it's difficult for me to imagine him having committed close relationships in the immediate aftermath of canon. I think he may be much more distant initially.

In canon, he could be rather demanding about getting attention, and it was good when other characters could put their foot down and tell him to hold his horses like Atem at Battle City. But Seto also didn't demand constant attention by any means -- he was pretty much entirely socially closed-off outside of business and dueling from what we saw, so it could be more about having reassurances at times and being able to approach others when he needs to, until he becomes more comfortable.

I enjoy doujinshi and fanfiction that seem to capture Seto's discomfort and fear of socializing even if he's desiring it, even if he tries to cover up that discomfort and fear with sharp words and avoidance. I guess that's my personal taste.
