[Takuto's line of questioning runs dangerously close to tipping Yuugi back into his more awkward self; some of the answers to those questions are actually a little embarrassing now.]

He didn't know me when we first got here. For him we haven't even met yet, in our own world. [And wouldn't for about three thousand years further.] So we both needed time....

[There's really no need to mention that Yuugi's feelings were clear from the beginning about the partnership he wanted, or to explain the number of reasons those feelings have only now come to fruition. Largely that Atem wanted nothing to do with him for a while there.]
