Yugi, Yusei and Yami brothers

starting anew

Yusei pov

I blink my eyes, trying to clear my vision, as I look around my garage, stretching and... Wait. I blink and look again, but nope, it's still the same. This is not my garage, but then where is...Oh, yeah. Yugi, Yami and Solomon... I glance around me and find Yami and Yugi,both of whom are still asleep and unaware. Should I have really come here? Maybe this was a bad decision. Perhaps I should try to sneak out and request the red dragon take me home? 

I go to move and get up, but arms clamp around my waist and another pair grab my shoulders, both pulling me back down onto the bed, where I have to blink for a second, because what just happened? When I glance to my two companions, I spot one pair of eyes opened, slightly angry at being woken up early eyes, and another pair that are looking at me with understanding and sympathy. I shakily smile, reflexively putting up my mask.

A small, nearly unnoticeable swat hits my head and I wince, before turning to look at Yugi, who originally looked angry, now he looked mad at me. 

"Don't go trying to put on that mask. We want to help, and we promised we would, but it won't do any good if you put on that mask and try to hide or run away from us and the problem. You may have lost all the bonds you had with your friends, but you still have our bond. And we won't be letting you break it any time soon, and we won't break it either. Good luck, trying to get of us, as a matter of fact."

I drop the smile and then nuzzle closer to both of them, as much as I can, because I love touch. I don't ever get much of it, and I might even be touch-starved, but I love cuddling and this small pile on this bed that's probably too small for all of us, is incredibly comfortable. I don't think I'll get back up if I honestly lie back down to sleep, so I go to get up, determined to do something for the people who plan to help me. My plan is destroyed when Yami and Yugi basically tackle me back into bed and under the covers, cuddling me on both sides so I can't move.

I squirm, not really trying to escape, just trying to see what happens. They scoot closer, practically on top of me now, and settle right on in. I give an amused huff, before resigning myself to more sleep then I usually get to begin with. Hell, I slept through the night, and that's a full 8 hours, more than I can say I managed during a week, and now they're going to have me sleep more? This'll be entertaining to deal with, since I know the side affects of getting little sleep and making it a habit.

I sigh and relax under my friends, letting my eyelids slip closed and a yawn slips past my lips. I try to vaguely fight sleep, but the warmth on top of me just makes me so comfortable. 

I jerk awake to the distinct sound of something starting to fall and reflexively reach out, catching whatever it is and instantly balancing it on its center. I blink and yawn sitting up and distantly noticing the lack of weight around me, before looking to see what woke me up. Solomon is standing by the bed, Yugi and Yami in the doorway, and in my hand I have balanced a tray with eggs, some milk and orange juice, and I think they're called hash browns?  I set it down on the nightstand and stretch my arms, sighing when both give a nice pop.

"Morning."

"You...how...No,you don't get to just say morning after catching a tray mid fall and balancing it perfectly, after waking from a dead sleep! You have to explain that, because that looked like a reflex or instinct, and I don't know anyone with any kind of movement, as fast as that."

Obviously, Yugi needs a few moments to compute, and I give it to him, silently turning to Yami, who smiles and nods morning, and then giving a smile to Solomon, who gives one back and starts messing with the tray. Then, it all clicks together and Yugi sighs, relaxing.
