Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ All You Wanted ❯ One-Shot

Disclaimer: ...nope. YGO is not mine. T_T And the song "All You Wanted" belongs to the lovely Michelle Branch.

A/N: This is a fic I wrote a while ago ^^; I'm rather proud of it, it being my only Y/YY fic as well as my only songfic, so I decided to revise it a bit and make it my first fanfic on this lovely site! I hope you enjoy it.

WARNINGS: Contains fluffy, one-sided shonen-ai. Shonen-ai is a softer version of yaoi, which is gayness (mean mean word) or boyxboy relationships. Dun like that, then simply click the back button. I will accept flames, but not about the pairing or the shonen-ai!

Notes: Yami knows about his past in Egypt in this. Don't ask me why. ^^; And yes, he is a spirit here. *angst sorrow*

Words are lyrics ^^ And if the system's a brat and won't show them, they're the words inside ::these:: ^_^

All You Wanted - by Kikirini

::I wanted to be like you

I wanted everything::

Yugi hurriedly scribbles down answers to his homework, the dusk spilling into his room gracefully in the coming of night. An intruding sensation fills his mind; he shuts his eyes in response, feeling a familiar spirit 'materialize' before him. Yami peers down at the young boy, recieving a smile in return, before he returns to his paper quickly. Yami's grin fades, and is replaced by longing gaze in his intense violet eyes; one that fades quickly every time his cheerful hikari turns to him.

::So I tried to be like you

And I got swept away

I didn't know that it was so cold and

You needed someone to show you the way::

Everything in his past is like a dream now to him, his life as a cruel pharaoh...after sharing bodies with the boy all malice in his heart melted...as well as the small portion of his heart he dared never to show...loneliness.

Even in the beginnings of his new existence, an encouraging voice in Yugi's head, slipping between personalities unbeknownst to the small boy, Yami had taken glimpses of his life; all the corruption, the pain, and sorrow...again and again...he couldn't imagine ever harming his hikari, or putting him down...Yugi was so perfect....

::So I took your hand and we figured out that

When the tide comes I'll take you away::

Yugi smiles sadly as he writes; though he doesn't tell Yami, he is worried for his darker one, feeling in his heart an aching sadness all but his own. With every glance at the taller boy he can see the flash of sorrow before he resumes with his usual, intense-but peaceful gaze... Yami was everything to him, his legs that kept him standing strong, his hope to light the darkness, his courage to take him through the night. Yugi hated himself for not being able to be the same way back...

::If you want to

I can save you

I can take you away from here::

A yawn forces itself out of Yugi's mouth; pushing away the papers he collapses into his futon. Uttering a "Good night" to Yami, he pulls the blankets up and closes his brilliant violet eyes. With a sad smile, Yami nods, and flicks the light switch.

"Good night, my Aibou."

He seats himself at the desk, solemn eyes falling upon the still form.

::So lonely inside

So busy out there

And all you wanted was somebody who cares::

Yugi is silent, still, an occasional snore escaping his lips. Moonlight spilled on him so easily, illuminating his face in a pale glow, like that of an angel, his lips open slightly, eyes closed in sweet slumber, hair messily spread across his pillow. Tears stung at Yami's eyes...Yugi was so beautiful....

::I'm sinking slowly

So hurry hold me

Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on::

All the duels they fought together, all the games and trials of courage rose into his mind's eye, so clearly in the dark. The final duel with Pegasus plays, and the aching in his heart tenses. He remembered so clearly...pulling the limp boy from the dueling board into his arms...no longer emitting the warmth of his heart, no longer smiling courageously...instead he was cold, so cold...pain beyond comprehension had risen into him, not the physical sort but in his heart...and it hurt, it hurt so much...

And he knew it...it was no longer the bond of the Sennen Puzzle that held him to the small boy...it was something else...something stronger...it was....

It was love....

::Please can you tell me

So I can finally see

Where you're going

You're gone::

He lifts his hands. He glances at them, once ruthless and evil, a mirror of his heart. Now they are translucent, an illusion woven from the magic of the Sennen Puzzle. And now...when he reaches his hand to touch Yugi's face, instead of the warmth he knew lie in the boy's skin, he felt nothing...not even air.

::If you want to

I can save you

I can take you away from here::

Yami had lived Yugi's lonely life, fought by his side, comforted him when he cried...and even now...the gods punished him...why couldn't he just touch Yugi...to feel his warmth...just once...

::So lonely inside

So busy out there

And all you wanted was somebody who cares::

He stands, hesitating, before leaning over his hikari and throwing his arms around him. Every aching part of his soul that wanted, needed Yugi grew to an unbearable point...

His arms went through. Yugi remained undisturbed.

::Please can you tell me

So I can finally see::

The ache resonates through him, filling his eyes as painful tears that slide down his cheeks, glinting in the moonlight. He pulls away, not even attempting to wipe away the fallen tears. With one last, painful gaze at Yugi, he returns to the Puzzle.

::Where you're going

You're gone...::

Yugi stirs in his sleep, yawning. He paws at his cheek, brushing away a single of Yami's tears.

Owari.

A/N: ^_^ well, what did you think? This song reminds me so much of this couple >.>;; like switching between their POVs, Yami through the choruses, and Yugi through (most of) the verses. And just listening to it and thinking of the couple makes me think of a deep pain...thus came this angsty lil fic. Well, I hope you enjoyed it! Please leave me lots of reviews!!!!
