I love your puzzleshipping storys, and I would like to request 22 or 31, for a drabble if that's ok?

Hi! I'm so sorry it's taken so long to get this one done. I had a little dip in motivation and was lacking ideas for a while.

I appreciate your patience and thank you so much for your kind words <3 I know it's not as long as the others but it's just as sweet <3

I already did 22 in another ask so I went for 31 ^.^

Enjoy

31. "You lied to me"

..............................

“You lied to me.” Atem pouted as he pushed his plate away. 

“How?” Yugi asked, looking up from his own food. 

“You said this was nice.” Atem huffed. 

Yugi laughed when Atem frowned at him. 

“It is nice.” He told him, reaching out and pulling the plate toward himself. “I’ll have yours too if you don’t want it.” 

Atem continued to frown at him, a small pout on his lips as Yugi continued to eat the food in front of him. 

"You know." Yugi said as he looked back at Atem. "You can't live on sweets alone. You need proper food too." 

"I know that, but this…" Atem shot a glare at his plate near Yugi. "This isn't nice." 

"Noodles." Yugi said. "It's noodles with some vegetables." 

"It's not as nice as you promised." 

Yugi sighed in frustration, looking across the room at the pans he'd used to cook their meal. 

"I'm really trying." He said. "You don't really like meat, spice isn't your thing either, you find the texture of pasta weird… I don't know what else to do for you." 

Atem was proving to be a very picky eater and it was starting to try his patience. Of course, he loved having Atem there with him, he was glad he hadn’t left after the ceremonial duel but…this was so hard. 

He looked down at his plate, pushing his food around with his chopsticks as he tried not to be too disappointed with Atems reaction to this meal. 

“I’m sorry Yugi.” Atem said quietly. 

Yugi hummed and continued to toy with his food, picking up a piece of broccoli and dropping it again several times. 

He heard Atem move, the chair slid across the floor loudly and he bit his lip, trying not to get annoyed at the former Pharaoh. 

A hand against his shoulder made him look up. Atem stood next to him, a small smile on his face. 

“I really am sorry.” Atem said, his hand sliding down Yugi's arm slowly. “I know I’m being difficult and I’m sorry to keep doing this to you.” 

“It’s fine.” He said, offering Atem a small smile of his own. 

"No, I’ve been acting selfishly. I haven’t been thinking about you and how hard this is on you.” Atems hand rested over his hand on the table for a moment. “I appreciate you trying, and I appreciate you, my love." Atem said softly, reaching out to cup Yugi's cheek. "I might be struggling to find things I like in this world, but I know for certain that I love you." 

He shook his head, turning to place a soft kiss to Atems palm.

“You’re lucky you’re so good with words.” He teased. “Otherwise I’d be so angry at you right now.”

“I deserve your anger.” Atem said, a soft laugh leaving his lips. “I have never deserved your kindness.”

Yugi laughed and pushed his chair back, standing to face Atem. He reached out to brush a stray piece of hair behind Atems ear. 

“You deserve every good thing this world can give you.” Yugi said softly, smiling when Atem blushed and looked away. 

“You’re too good to me.” Atem whispered, looking back at him. 

“I’ll be the judge of that.” He replied. 

Atem smiled and leaned closer, catching Yugi's lips in a soft kiss that stole his breath. 

--Puzzle Angst-- [Ik T^T]

Yeah, so, I have a story suggestion, and I'm working on that- but by the time I finish, I'm scared imma forget this idea so-

"How does it feel, How does it feel... Atem" Yuugi said, to himself as a tear streamed down his cheek. Knowing that he was listening. He didnt know how and why, he just knew.

Atem paused, and stared bleakly at Yuugi, ever since he came back, he was presented the option to watch whoever he knew, without communicating.

But this visit was different.

Atem could tell that Yuugi knew, and the fact that he couldnt respond pained him. He knew that the one he was closest with was in pain, he knew that Yuugi missed him, he just couldnt do anything.

"HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ALONE?!?! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION LEAVE, AFTER BEGGING, AFTER THEY PROMISED NOT TO??? DO YOU KNOW????!!!" Atem didnt know what had happened while he was in his thoughts, but one thing was clear:

Yugi was mad

...

And he had snapped

'Yuugi... I... I didnt know you...' Atem had no idea what to say, a thousand statements were over-flowing his mind. But, it was of no use; he couldnt do anything.

"P-please I... If you really are listening then... C-come back... I didnt mean to scare you..." Yuugi staggered, his breathing was all over the place. He held his head in his arms, whispering out one thing

"Come back..."

Yuugi took a deep breath, and stood up. Somehow, facing exactly where Atem was, maybe it was because he was used to it and knew where the spirit would be, and when.

"I know, I know you can hear me. So talk." he choked on his spit.

Atem turned around, and picked up a whiteboard marker, Yuugi had a variety of these because he used them and a gigantic whiteboard to plan and jot down ideas. He did work for Kaiba Corp after all.

Yuugi looked up to see a floating marker, 'Guess I was right...' he thought.

...

'I am sorry, please forgive me, I had no other choice.' was what was being written, it took Yuugi a few seconds to make out because of the fancy and curly writing, but he understood it well enough.

He sighed,

'Sorry's not gonna cut it.' was the first response that rang into his mind. Too rude, he imediately pushed the thought away.

"How're you gonna make it up to me?"
