[After an extended pause he exhaled the breath he hadn't even realized he'd been holding.]
This all sounds weird to me, I thought both of us were beyond this teenage romance drama. [.. and yet, here they are. That being said Kaiba tried to understand it from her perspective and he thought he had a pretty good idea where her apprehension was stemming from] You don't want to be the other woman. Heh- I get that. It's not as if I'm someone who wants to share the spotlight either. [Saying it this way made it easier to admit. He wanted to be the only man in Ann's life too, and considering how so many of her friends were male..]
[He grew silent as she fretted over it further. Though he had interpreted the situation incorrectly in one way, but he had still arrived at the same conclusion. He chalked it up to pride and possessiveness, coupled with not wanting to engage in the sort of behavior that transformed her into a being that embodied jealousy. Pride was more his thing, than hers. The point being it would be sinking to a new low that even Parsee couldn't commit to.]
Now I wish I'd bothered to ask more about their connection.. [So he might be able to alleviate some of her doubts]
[When she said that next part Kaiba choked on literally nothing but the air he didn't need to breath. Once he composed himself, his cheeks were lightly tinted and he couldn't make direct eye contact]
Ah- yeah. I would think that's essential.
[Then he looked back and squinted at her]
That can't be the Yugi I'm thinking. [Since he's male and Parsee has only seen him in visions]
