   Summary

   Running into Bakura hadn't been something Yuugi expected that dreary day, but it was something that he needed. It's not until Bakura comes knocking on his door in the middle of the night that Yuugi understands that the feeling is mutual.
   Bakura had been trying to run and hide from his own struggles. He hadn't expected to find safety in Yuugi's presence. As much as he wants to deny himself, he can't stop himself from returning to Yuugi's side when he feels unsafe, not that he actually admits it out loud.
