Heba lies awake as Yugi sleeps curled up his arm. Heba keeps thinking about how Yugi had snapped like that at Tea and Anzu. Heba held Yugi's fragile body close to him and smelt his lavender scent and he snuggled into his body subconsciously. Heba hadn't heard what they'd said, but it must've been bad for Yugi to snap so bad Slifer had to get involved. Yugi's hands gripped Heba as if he were just a 7-year-old boy again and Heba looked over to see Yugi's face scrunched up. Yugi's grip grew tighter as Heba gently lifted him onto his lap and Yugi started thrashing about. Yugi cried out as Heba soothed him and Atem peeks his head in as Heba hushes Yugi and Yugi's still squirming, limbs flying.

"Mummy! Daddy!" Yugi cries and Heba pushes Yugi down and shakes him awake, but Yugi won't wake up. "I don't want this!!" Yugi weeps in his sleep as he thrashes around and Heba's shaking Yugi violently.

"Yugi!" Heba hisses and Yugi slowly wakes up and Heba's worried. "It's just a dream..." Heba whispers and Yugi's upset. "Try to get some sleep," Heba advises and lays back down as Atem slips out, unseen.

*Time skip to next morning*

Yugi stirs to find himself alone in his room and Heba walks in, still looking tired. Yugi struggles to sit up and Heba holds him close before Yugi pulls back. Yugi stands and both boys quickly get dressed before leaving. Heba leaves the chamber and Yugi walks to Atem and sits beside him, then gently strokes his cheek and Atem leans into the touch he easily recognizes as Yugi's. He stirs awake as Yugi stands and perfects Yami's clothes on the end of his bed and a pair of firm arms wrap around his waist.

"Morning," Atem whispered and Yugi smiles before leaning back slightly. "Where's Heba this morning?" Atem asks and Yugi turns to him before passing him his richly designed clothes.
"He is awakening your brother, Prince," Yugi spoke clearly and Atem sighs. "He can't always stay in here so he'll be returning to his original chambers soon," Yugi explains and Atem smiles.
"It's Atem, not Prince, Yugi." Atem corrects him and then stretches. "I will go bath ok? Go see if Heba needs help." Atem tells him and Yugi gently kisses Atem before leaving.
Yugi leaves and slips into the chamber of Prince Yami silently to find Heba shaking him and Yami not even stirring. Yugi rushes over and Heba sighs.
"He's officially worse than me, Yugi." Heba states and Yugi giggles before filling a bucket with cold water.
"I'm sorry Prince but you can't be late." Yugi apologizes quietly before pouring the water on the Prince and he shoots up, scaring Yugi a little as he jumps back and Heba guards Yugi hastily before Yami looks around.
