Kaiba's words stole the breath from his lungs as their meaning truly sank in.
Him being able to hold Atem's soul and being chosen by the puzzle...it was an admittance of his strength. Seto Kaiba, the man on top of the world, thought that he was strong in the ways that counted.
Knowing that he felt that way and hearing it were two different things, and it was...
A heady tonic.
A heady tonic that left his cheeks feeling rather wet.
He brushed them with the back of his hands.
"You know...I don't think I've heard anyone word it quite like that since...The Other Bakura, maybe. Maybe Isis...? But I never quite know what she's thinking."
