Okay, I'm setting a little challenge for myself here. I want to write a Puzzleshipping drabble, in first-person POV, in a way that makes it possible to imagine either Yugi OR Yami as the 'narrator.' So, here I go.

Fun game: Flip a coin. Heads is Yami. Tails is Yugi. Read through this and imagine the corresponding character saying it.

Just when I thought my existence couldn't possibly be any more meaningless, when it seemed the darkness would swallow me whole... You arrived.

It wasn't like I had a choice in the matter. All of a sudden, you were just... there. I'd never asked for you, but I wouldn't give you up for anything, not after all we've been through.

You were strong where I was weak, and vice versa. Together, we learned. We grew. We held each other up, and struggled on, the two of us as one. We smiled together, laughed together, despaired and fought and cried and screamed together.

It wasn't like we had a choice in the matter... All of a sudden, we were in love. It simply happened, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

And, really... It was.

You know my deepest secrets, and I know your biggest fears. Your emotions are mine, and mine are yours. We share a bond that normal people would envy, if they could understand it. You and I... are two of a kind. We are two souls, and yet, we are only one.

No matter what happens, we will never truly lose... Because we are together, the way the Gods intended. Even if we can only love each other as a human and a spirit, our bond is not one that needs physical confirmation. We've achieved perfect harmony through mental connection alone.

I will never feel lonely again, my Other Soul. With you by my side... I am fearless.
