The roar shook him from his sleep, as light as it was. Yuugi worried too much to actually sleep soundly anymore. And besides... the roar was familiar. Too familiar. In a half asleep panic he grabbed his deck box and duel disk, after throwing his jacket on... over his pjs.

The large god woke him up, and he hurried over to the park as fast as he could. Maybe something happened? Or was happening...

When he saw Atem standing there, he blinked, the cold of the snow having yet to hit him.

"...mou hitori no boku? What are you doing out here?"

The moment the new figure appeared in the park, Osiris' eyes traced over Yuugi's form. He didn't seem disturbed, though; oddly and unusually calm for the God. But it wasn't as if Osiris didn't remember who Yuugi was.

As for Atem, he barely moved. He laced his fingers together again, still staring at the ground from his spot on the bench. Of course he knew who was there. The voice was familiar enough, and even if in some ridiculous way Atem couldn't place it, that name was reserved for one person only.

"I told you I'd be out here later, Aibou." Almost mirroring the Sky God's mood, or perhaps it was the other way around, his voice was subdued and quiet.

"But this is.. really late..." Yuugi replied softly, neck craning to glance up at the massive dragon. Its been a long time since he's seen him: and that last time was with the others of its kind.

His glance shifted to Atem and he approached slowly, sneakers crunching the snow beneath him softly.

"Have you been outside all night?"

note_atem December 11 2010, 06:01:21 UTC

Osiris bowed his head as if to acknowledge Yuugi's presence drawing nearer. But in the end his eyes moved back forward, just watching ahead, mindful of his master.

"No." Atem's answer was still as soft as the rest of his words. He even shook his head a little, the snow that had collected on his hair falling. "I went home for a while, though I ended up having to return something to Kaiba." A slightly bitter tone. He still couldn't believe Kaiba had given him that stuff.

"Then I came out again."

[This is much later still, if Atem's out for that long] shutupandduelme December 11 2010, 06:25:50 UTC

It had been a long night. He never should have made the mistake of returning to the apartment for a fortifying shot of caffeine. That wine bottle sitting on his front step was like a slap to the face. Who the hell did Atem think he was, refusing what might as well have amounted to a gift from him? Throwing it out would have been one thing, but just leaving it outside like it was one of Usagi's care baskets was an insult.

It left Kaiba fuming as he trekked back out into the snow again, his eyes locked on the dot that just never stopped moving. Cowardly bastard. The cold and the effort wasn't helping whatever damage the fire had left behind, either. Occasionally the brunet was forced to stop and cough, losing more time and making himself visible to anything that might have been lurking in the darkness nearby.

And now there was the snow. Without warning, the ground had started shaking around him. Kaiba had just barely managed to stay on his feet. There was something familiar about that sound, and Kaiba really would have been more ( ... )

[Of course he would be otherwise I'd leave you with no response :D] note_atem December 11 2010, 06:31:30 UTC

The air of the night had been quiet once Osiris had been done with his roar. Kaiba's voice, whether near or far, always seemed to reach Atem when the brunet was yelling. But he didn't lift his head, only closing his eyes to try and listen to what was going on.

Kaiba didn't sound very happy. But he didn't sound like he was in danger or hurt either- not that Kaiba would ever scream or yell if either of those two things were occurring. Osiris lifted his head, eyes scanning for the noise where his master's would not.

[THAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE AND MEEN considering how few tags I'm squeezing in. |D ] shutupandduelme December 11 2010, 06:39:11 UTC

After all the piled snow was brushed off (well, as much as could be anyway) the flash of light caught Kaiba's eye. He froze, his hand resting on the butt of his gun as he tried to pinpoint the source. The way the light flickered-

His head jerked around. There it was again. He stepped forward, only approaching until he could see clearly that not only was it one of his holograms, but it was one of the few he hadn't upgraded. Kaiba's lips pulled into a frown.

"It's too late for you to be out here," he called. It was too cold as well, not that Atem ever saw sense in such matters. If it was Atem. Kaiba hadn't gotten close enough to see beyond the great red dragon hologram.

[YOUR PAPER HASN'T KILLED YOU HAS IT ;_;] note_atem December 11 2010, 06:42:20 UTC

He opened his eyes a little more, but still was really just staring out at the ground in front of him. He'd known it was Kaiba there, but the man's voice was definitely a big closer now. There was no reason to keep his eyes shut in order to hear better at this rate.

Osiris watched Kaiba carefully, on the other hand. "What difference does time make?" He responded, but didn't make an effort to call back. If Kaiba heard him fine, if not oh well. He wasn't in a shouting sort of mood. "I'm not planning on sleeping tonight."

It was the sound of something roaring that woke Usagi up from her sleep. For a moment she thought the island was under attack, but that fear was quickly put to rest. When she looked outside she saw the snow falling on the ground and a very large....dragon? It certainly wasn't a dragon she had seen before, but it didn't look like it was doing any harm.

Curiosity peaked she slipped out of her pajamas into warmer clothes. Quietly she snuck out of her apartment and made her way towards the dragon. She found herself heading to the park and saw Atem standing there. Duel Monsters.. her mind whispered. Was this how he really wanted to spend his one year anniversary like this? granted, it wasn't something...nice to celebrate, but her heart went out to him. She wanted to be there for him, but she still couldn't figure out how.

So for now she would watch from her little hiding spot, behind a tree...as she tried to think of the right thing to say to him...

note_atem December 11 2010, 07:15:11 UTC

Osiris was alert as ever, having nothing else to do. He wasn't called for battle, he wasn't called for Judgment (not that he could do this being a mere hologram anyway). He was just called... because. So what else could he do but watch the world around and make sure at least his own master wasn't in danger.

His eyes shifted when Usagi approached and hid, turning slightly to look in her direction. Atem knew the God was looking at something but didn't know what, nor did he even raise his head to look.

"Who's there?" He asked quietly. If it was someone about to cause trouble, he'd know soon.

oomoon_rabbitoo December 11 2010, 07:22:25 UTC

..So much for trying to stay hidden. Usagi should've known better than to try and sneak up on Atem. Letting a small sigh, she came out from her hiding spot.

"Didn't mean to bother you..." she admitted sheepishly. Snow began to settle on her hair, not that she minded, but she had to shake her head a little to let those little snowflakes fall to the ground.

"I was worried, as silly as it sounds," granted it was the truth. Atem had been kind of...depressed since November set in. Though he was a strong individual and could handle anything, but even homesickness and loneliness could make the strongest of them feel weak.

note_atem December 11 2010, 07:25:31 UTC

The voice was a familiar one. He didn't need to look up to know Usagi was coming his way. Osiris regarded her quietly, but in the end did nothing. Not like he could or would anyway.

"You're not bothering me." He assured in a still quiet voice. His lips twitched slightly at her second statement. Worried. He always did that to them, and he never meant it. If nothing else he was sure he could carry his burdens on his own.

"It's not silly." He corrected with a small shake of his head. "But I don't want you to be."
