Kaiba looks down on the boy, wide-eyed and soft-hearted and foolishly naive. I hate him, he thinks. Some day I’ll beat him.

Yugi looks up at the boy, haughty and stiff and grim, eyes as blue and cold as those of his favorite dragon. I like him, he thinks. I wish he weren’t so afraid.

I hate it when he looks at me like that, Kaiba thinks. I don’t need his pity.

I hate it when he looks at me like that, Yugi thinks. I only want to be his friend.

Kaiba frowns. “Well, are you coming?”

Yugi smiles. “Sure.”
