「The moment Kaiba disconnects, Atem flinches — how dare him!? He can feel the anger filling him quickly, it nearly makes him toss the phone directly to a wall, but the thought of giving the CEO the satisfaction of telling him how much of a neanderthal he is when it comes to electronics actually stops him from it.
Atem waits instead, pacing angrily around the temple, muttering stuff like "stupid Kaiba" and "he's such ass" until he finally calms down. He goes wait for Kaiba at the entrance of the temple, an umbrella over his head and a massive pout in his face, but time keeps passing and he has to start wondering how far the islands are from each other. Perhaps he should have waited to do this, gather his bearings before enclosing himself in the temple — for a month, nonetheless — but, he was just so excited for this, just, to do something for Kaiba for once, after all, all he had done while in Hadriel was antagonize him and disappoint him.
The Pharaoh doesn't even notice the moment he puts down his umbrella in a rather defeated manner just a few after he sat down at the entrance steps, now overwhelmed with other feelings, inadequacy, sadness, even. He's not a good friend and the fact Kaiba hates him was enough proof. He had had told Atem before, and no matter what he did, they were never going to be friends. A few minutes later, it's clear to him that Kaiba will not get there, that he doesn't care, even after what he did for him — losing an entire month of his life, sure, it wasn't three millennia but...
And so when Kaiba finally gets to the temple, Atem is drenched to the bone, looking more like an abandoned kitten under the rain, basically, miserable. It takes the Pharaoh more than a moment to realize that Kaiba is there, getting closer, and when he does, it is like if he had never seen him before—
he sprung. Like a trap that had been awaiting release, he stands, his face showing way too much surprise and a quivering lip; it takes a second for a hesitant but relieved smile to take shape.」
You came...「What does that mean...?」 I thought... I thought you wouldn't... 「Why is this happening? He cannot help feeling so overwhelmed.」
