The New Beginning

Resolving things

Yugi's POV

I had been thinking all night about what I think that I should do about all of this. I then just came to the conclusion that Atem and I have rushed this entire relationship. I love Atem and I know he loves me, but I think we need to learn one another all over again and start over. I want to be with him, but I don't think this is the right time. I also feel like we both need to figure things out with Tea before we can start a real relationship.

I then try and wipe the tears away as I hear Atem running up the stairs. He then walks into the room and I know that he sees the tears in my eyes. He then begins to walk closer to me and he smiles at me. I then begin to forget what I was going to talk to him about... He's so beautiful and that smile... It gets me every time. I then see that he is going to lean down to kiss me. That's when I stopped him by saying 'We need to talk.' I see him begin so slow down in his pace and I see the sad look in his eyes begin to form. My heart hurts by saying those words...

"Atem, I love you. I really really do, but I feel like we have a few things that we need to figure out before we can even start this relationship. Like we both have things that we need to figure out with Tea, we still need to get to know one another again and I just want to make sure that I love myself. I can't truly love you until I love myself... and" That's when I felt Atem's finger on my lips. He was so gentle when he placed his finger on my lips. He looked me in my eyes with some tears, but he had a smile on his beautiful face...

"Yugi. I need to tell you some stuff before we get any further in this conversation. Last night Tea came by last night to come and talk to you. I then answered the door to see what she needed. We did talk for a bit about you and her and then of course her and I. I then told her she would find someone some day, but I think she had heard what she wanted to hear and she kissed me. I also do not want to lie to you because that is something I will never do to you. I promise to tell you the truth no matter what. That kiss really did confuse me. Like I don't know why but it did. I have absolutely no feelings towards her or any kinds of attraction. Then once I came up to tell you I saw you and my heart told me that you are mine. Mine now and forever. I am so madly in love with you, but if you want to wait I will understand. I will fight for you for eternity though and that is a promise. You're worth fighting for and I want to prove to you that you are worth so much and more. I will show you that you are loved every single day until the day I die and even after that." When he told  me all that it was honestly so much to take in... I didn't know what to say or what to do that point.

I can't believe he told me the truth about that entire situation. Usually people would just ignore it and not tell their partner until it was told by someone else or their partner found out on their own suspicions. He was so raw and honest with me. I also know that he will do anything for me no matter what I do. If I decided to take things slow or continue with this relationship. I just feel like my insecurities are going to get to me. Then again why am I worrying so much? He came back for me... I need to stop worrying or I will never be happy.

"Atem thank you for telling me all of that. You have no idea how much that means to me. Like that makes me so happy that you're so honest with me and open about anything. I'm just afraid that I am not enough for you and that you..." He stopped me once again.

"Never say you're not enough for me. You're worth so much more than you know. I will also prove it even if that means forever and whatever is after forever." I begin to cry at those words he just spoke to me. I have never met anyone who has thought this about me and I probably will never meet anyone else like this. He loves me and I know he sees so much in me. I just need to stop being scared and just let him love me and for me to love him like he deserves. I'm just scared.

"Yugi, I know that this is new and that you're scared. I'm scared too, but I have you by side to get me through this scary but also new wonderful adventure. I want all of this with you. The good and the bad. I want it all. If you want to wait, I'll wait, if you want to continue, I'll love to be yours still, want me gone, I'll leave but I will still be here for you and so on and so on. I will do anything for you because I love you." He's amazing and I can't believe I was going to let him go because I was having self doubt.

I then walk up to him and just embrace him in my arms. I just cry in his chest and he then wraps his arms around me and hugs me tight. He wasn't going to let go until I was done crying or until he knew I was done with the hug. I just felt so safe and loved in his arms. I love this man more than anything. He will do anything for me and I know that because he did so much for me when he was just a spirit in the puzzle. Now that he's here in real life he wants to continue to do it and so much more for me. I can't let him go because of something so stupid. He's my other half and I love him.

"Atemm.. I'm sorry, but I'm not letting go. I love you too much and I just need to get over this self doubt, but after this talk I feel a lot better. I know that it's going to take some time before it completely goes away, but I have someone like you who's going to help me through it all. I love you so much and I am so lucky to have someone like you as my person. I can't believe I was going to be selfish enough to let you go. I'm so sorry for even bringing this up and making it sound like I didn't want to be with you..." I said while I had tears flowing down my face.

He then wipes away my tears with his thumb and picks up my face and I look at him. Our eyes gaze into one another for quite a bit until he leans in and gives me a kiss. I melt into that kiss. I love him so much and I want to be with this man forever.

"It's okay love, lets learn from this and move forward. Okay?" He looks at me with that smile and I nodded me head okay. He then tells me that we both need to have a sit down with Tea at some point today and I agree with him. We get up and get dressed for the day.

Now should I kick her ass or....
