Author's Note: Well, I hadn't actually planned on doing a sequel to the oneshot, but you all inspired me to work hard and make one (: This one is from Yusei's point of view, its about his feelings about his injury and how he feels about Jack. Please enjoy (:

Special thanks to... Queenhelba, Oborochann339, kellyQ, Sister Of The Pharaoh and bb-s for supporting me and this fanfiction :D

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or any of the characters in this fanfiction.

It was dark. But then again, it was the middle of the night, of course it was dark. And Yusei was awake, unable to sleep because he was unable to forget and ease the anxiety in his chest.

"Nn.." Yusei groaned, biting his bottom lip. He wanted to be able to sleep throughout the night without the worry. The worry that Kalin wasn't the first of many friends that he wasn't going to be able to save. The raven haired dueler put his hands over his eyes, gritting his teeth. He felt weak and the situation seemed hopeless.

How could he save others when he couldn't even save himself? The scar across his torso was the proof. He had been so confident that he could help Kalin and all it ended in was pain and humiliation. Painful memories and horrible accusations that Yusei could only try to deny. I did the right thing. I did the right thing. So why does it hurt so much?

Pushing himself into sitting position, Yusei grimaced. Sometimes the scar ached with dulled but emotionally unbearable pain. Kalin was trying to destroy himself, I went the right way. It was for his own good, he was...IS my friend. Why won't it stop hurting? Yusei felt himself grab his shirt in front of the scar tightly as if it would make the throbbing ache disappear.

It didn't, it wouldn't. He was fully aware of that, maybe he just hoped...just a little.

Insecure. It was the word that came to mind when Yusei thought about himself. And maybe the others could see it, maybe they couldn't but they were treating him with caution. As if acting...normal could hurt him in a way. As if acting friendly and happy could break him.

Yusei stepped out of bed and sighed, he probably wasn't going to get to sleep with all these thoughts running around in his head. Maybe if he just sat downstairs for awhile, he could clear his head. As the raven haired boy came down the stairs, he noticed the lights to the kitchen were on. He knew it was late and nobody was usually up at this hour. Not that seeing the light didn't make him slightly relieved.

Jack was leaning back against the counter with a cup of coffee in hand, staring out a window above the sink. When he heard the soft sounds of Yusei's bare feet against the floor, he looked over and said in his thick accent, "Oh, Yusei. Didn't expect you to be up at this hour."

Yusei half smiled and stepped farther into the light, "Same goes for you, Jack."

The blonde shrugged casually and took a sip from his steaming cup. They stood in silence as he did so, then for several moments longer afterward.

Jack eyed a chair then glanced to Yusei who seemed a bit out of sorts. "Want a cup of coffee then? It doesn't look like you'll be getting much more sleep in the state you're in." Jack reached for another mug, waiting for Yusei's answer.

As he slid into a chair at the table, Yusei nodded, smiling softly again, "That'd be nice."

Maybe everyone else was treating him like an child, afraid that one slip of a tongue could break Yusei's will but Jack seemed to think nothing of it all. He acted the same way to Yusei, he acted like a support beam, a friend.

Jack slid the coffee cup across the table to Yusei and sat down across him, "You know, we haven't had a good deul in a while. How 'bout it? After your coffee of course."

The normality that Jack so casually expressed was appreciated and Yusei could only nod once, so overwhelmed with gratitude.

His head was clear and his scar didn't ache anymore.

"Thanks, Jack." Yusei whispered into his cup. He was glad he'd found Jack down in the kitchen at this early time, glad that Jack was always just Jack, glad that the person he loved understood him so well.
