Awake in the Night

Summary:

Yuugi is asleep, the other Yuugi is not.

Work Text:

His partner is fast asleep, comfortable even with the Puzzle caught between his arm and chest. But the other Yuugi has plenty of time to rest (as long as there isn’t a tournament or a crisis – if there’s any difference), so he does not sleep now. It’s some effort to be present in the world like this, but the alternative is once again wandering through the endless tomb maze of his soul. Even under the desaturation and silence of night, the bedroom is so much more warm and lively.

A ghost, he thinks, can be forgiven for indulging in that.
