If Tomorrow Never Comes
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Thanks to all for the suggestions. Now, this is the last one. However, this song here… its kind cool, so you all are going to have fun with this one!
Yugi: This song here… *blushes* this one is a doozy!
Darien: Well, we hope you've enjoyed our trio of songs! If you guys have any that features Yugi with a female, write it down! We encourage you too!
Now, on with the songfic!)
Yugi was at a good restaurant with his girlfriend, Anhk. It has been three weeks since the singing incident at school, and the two got to know one another real well. In fact, Yugi asked her if she would be willing to be his girlfriend. She said yes, and that's when things went uphill for the little hero.
Now, they were at a fancy, expensive food place. Yugi wanted to make sure his girlfriend was treated like that princess she was. Plus, the manager stated that the billing was cut in half. It seemed that his fame as a duelist AND a singer helped him in many ways.
"Thank you, Yugi. This dinner is wonderful!", Anhk said as she ate her meal.
Yugi smiled warmly at her from across the table, very much pleased that she was happy. They were in a private booth, and also some candles lit the place they were in. Yugi was going all out to please his first girlfriend.
"Think nothing of it, Anhk. Anything for a beautiful woman, such as yourself.", he replied softly.
She giggled, and the two continued to eat. The date went on for three hours, the two talking about small/big things and also enjoying the atmosphere and being together.
"Well, its time to pay the check.", Yugi said lightly.
He called for the waiter, paid the bill, and escorted his beauty back outside. When they went out, they found the rented limo waiting for them. Yugi wanted to make this night perfect for his new woman, and he certainly didn't want to hold anything back.
"Shall we go, my dear?", he asked playfully.
Anhk giggled lightly and replied in the same tone, "Of course, sweetheart.".
He opened the door for her, but when she was about to climb in, someone interrupted them. "Hey, Yugi!", a familiar voice called out from the right.
The duo turned to see Téa Gardner running towards them. Yugi inwardly groaned, as did Anhk. She was informed about the situation between the brunette and Yugi. Frankly, it bothered her to a degree that she, the one that Yugi used to love, was just using him to transform into Yami.
"Yugi, did you tell Yami about our date tomorrow night?", she asked him.
Yugi nodded and replied, in a tight voice, "Yes, I told him. He said that he would be ready to take you tomorrow.".
She smiled brightly, thanked Yugi, and then headed off without a word. Yugi sighed, got in with Anhk, and told the driver to go back to his place. His good mood was now gone, thanks to Téa.
"It kinda hurts, the person you used to love, only using you to go to another?", Anhk asked softly.
Yugi nodded and replied, "It does. I loved her, perhaps I still do… but I wouldn't want anything to get in the way of her happiness.".
Anhk hugged her boyfriend, feeling his sorrow. Although they were together, Yugi still had a special place in his heart for Téa. It hurt her to see Yugi sad. It still amazed her that despite his sorrow, he was willing to make the one he used to love happy… even if she wanted someone else.
Yugi hugged back, thanked her by giving her a kiss on the cheek, then relaxed into her embrace. "Yugi, I hope that this problem is solved soon. I mean, you transforming so Téa could be with Yami.", she whispered to him.
"Me too.", he replied. Then, he gazed upon Anhk lovingly and said, "But for now, my focus is on you.".
The two shared a tender, soulful kiss. It lasted for a few minutes, when the limo stopped. They were now at the Game Shop. Reluctantly, he pulled from her warmth and got out of the car. He helped her out, then went to the driver and paid him full.
"Thank you very much, sir.", he told the driver.
The tall driver winked at him and said, "Ah, no big deal buddy. Just enjoy your woman there, okay?". After that, he drove back to his company.
Yugi escorted Anhk inside, closing the door behind him and locking up for the night. Turning on the lights to the living room, he gently sat Anhk on the couch.
"Anhk, you don't know how much it means to me, you actually willing… to be a girlfriend to me.", he started to say. He was still kinda sensitive to being made fun of because of his height. People did that to him and Anhk often. The Egyptian-born girl nodded her head at this.
He continued, "So, to show how much you mean to me, I have dedicated this song to you. I hope you like it.".
He turned on the stereo system, turned the lights down low, and pressed number 2. The music came up, and Anhk recognized that the song was If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks. Yugi was a big fan of American country music. Soon, Yugi started to sing once more.
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought that crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
Yugi soon kneeled down, and took Anhk's hands into his. They looked in each other's eyes, and Anhk saw the sincerity and strength in them when he spoke those words. The sheer fire of love that burned in his violet eyes made her just want to melt right there. Because that gaze… was only for her.
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her?
Did I try in every way to show her everyday
That she's my only one?
And if my time on Earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes?
As he continued to sing along with Garth, Anhk had to try and hold the tears threating to come out. Yugi had known her for only three weeks, yet he felt that way towards her. Never had she seen or felt such a heartfelt declaration.
'Téa was a very foolish to pass over a boy… no, man like him.', she thought. Yet, she knew that Téa made a choice and she still respected the girl's decision. To a degree, that is.
'Cause I lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them were never revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid the circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
Yugi knew that part too well. He was given plenty of chances in life to tell Téa on how he felt towards her. However, he was afraid on how she would react. Imagine; a little boy asking a big girl like her to be with him.
But, she found love with his dark side. He was glad that she found someone, but regretted that he did not tell her soon enough. Now, with Anhk, he wasn't going to make the same mistake on showing her his love.
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one?
And if my time on Earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes?
Yugi gently took Anhk's hand and lifted her up. During the last phases of the music, the two started to slow dance with one another. It was awkward, but they did not care. They were with each other, and that was all that mattered.
Yami, from his Soul Room, saw the two. A small smirk was on his face, and he was mentally congratulating Yugi.
"You have found a good soulmate, Yugi. I wish you two the best of luck.", he declared softly before turning in for the night.
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
When the song and music died down, the two shared a soulful kiss once again. It soon became passionate, and the two fell down on the couch, Anhk on top of Yugi.
They were not going to go all the way, them wanting to save themselves on the honeymoon. But, it didn't stop them to show on how much they loved each other anyway.
She hugged Yugi close, relishing in the warmth of his body and the taste of his lips on her own. She promised that from here on out, she was going to stick with Yugi as best she can.
The same was for Yugi too, him sticking to Anhk all the way. As the stereo system turned off automatically, the two soon became lost in kissing one another.
(Author's Notes: How was this finale? I hope you all liked it.
Yugi: DJ wanted to do Two of a Kind, Workin' on a Full House by Garth Brooks, but he thought it wasn't gonna fit the mood. So, he chose this one instead.
Darien: Now, here are the questions for the Yugi fangirls:
1.) How would you feel if Yugi treated you like a princess?
2.) Would you comfort Yugi, if he was reminded of his past relationship with Téa?
3.) How would you feel if he sang that song to you? What would you do to him?
4.) Finally, would you make out with Yugi like Anhk was doing now?
R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!)
