Teals blinked rapidly at those words. This man - no matter how much he tries to explain the situation, Kaiba was going to do his own thing. Not that he could blame the brunette, because Jotaro knows he'd do the very same thing as well. But, he's grown protective over the CEO. Not so much as he's obsessive over that, but it's more the fact that fear sits heavy within his gut.

He knows better than to stop the other male, knows better than to keep Kaiba from doing anything. But damn it, why the hell would he not listen?! It was fear keeping him from blurting anything, from reaching out and grasping the other man by the hand.

"So be it if you want to call it a mistake if it makes you sleep better tonight. I am not falling into that same category as you..."

I   can   live   with   the   idea   of   us   not   being   lovers,   but   what   I   don't   want   to   live   without   is   you   as   a   friend.

Purple eyes look up from the counter growing a little wide at the sudden appearance from Seto Kaiba himself once again in the card store that started it all. Atem no longer a spirit this time as he stands. His appearance that of how he was in Egypt, now able to fully tell him and Yugi apart just from skin color alone. That and… he’s much taller yet Kaiba still towers over him as he looks up at the ceo.

“I've been meaning to thank you...for what you did for my sister back when she got hurt… you were the one who made sure I knew. You stayed with her. Kept her safe. And I know you didn’t have to.” His voice softened, sincerity slipping past his usual defenses. “So… thanks. Really. I don’t take that lightly.”
