Foolish Pride

Ok this is a country song that I decided to use for this one-shot. It’s kind of an older song but a good one and works for these two. I hope you all like it and please send me reviews on it.



I don’t own the song or Yugioh. Being used for fun only.





She stayed up all night and cried into her pillowAnd fought off the urge to just break down and callLast night to find the fault seemed so darn easyBut now whose to blame don't matter much at allShe thinks if she calls him it just shows weaknessSo the hurt goes on with every tear she's criedAin't it sad to see a good love fall to piecesChalk another heartbreak up to foolish pride


“Yugi?” came the soft British voice of a young man with snow white hair, milky white skin and soft doe brown eyes that were full of concern for the one laying in bed. This young man’s name is Ryou Bakura and best friends to Yugi Motou, the one laying in the bed with his face buried into his pillow.
Right now Ryou was sitting on the bed as he watched him. He could see the young man’s shoulders shake and could tell he was crying. “Yugi?” He called softly as he laid a hand on said boy’s shoulder.

Yugi was a short young man around five feet. He had hair that is spiked around his head in the shape of a star. It is black with red tips and blond bangs that frame his face. His face looks much like a child with large amethyst eyes.
Right now, those normally sparkling eyes were red shot and had bags under them from where Yugi got no sleep last night. It was because of the fight he had with his lover last night that he looked like this right now.

Ryou knew why he looked like this and knew what had happened. Yugi had told him about the fight when Ryou first showed up. “Have you tried calling him?” Ryou asked as Yugi shook his head no. “I don’t want to look weak to him.” came Yugi’s horse voice. “I want to. God knows I want to but I don’t want to seem weak.”
Yugi sat all the way up but held his pillow in front of him as he looked to the empty side of the bed and let his pillow fall as he pulled the other one into his lap and buried his head into it. “It smells like him.” Yugi said as he looked up to Ryou.
Ryou just nodded to this as he watched his friend. “Last night when he came home drunk and smelling like someone else. I guess I lost it and thought he was cheating me. I didn’t let him explain.” Yugi said as he held Atemu’s pillow closer to his body. “It was just so easy to point the finger but now….I’m not so sure.” Yugi said as his best friend could see the pain in his eyes and hear it in his voice. “You should try calling him Yugi. Let him explain.”

Ryou just shook his head as he saw the way Yugi’s eyes narrowed a bit at this. “I won’t look weak.” Yugi said again. ‘They are going to lose easy other because of their foolish pride.’ Ryou thought to himself.


Turn out the lights the competition's overThe stubborn souls are the losers here tonightAnd while the bridges burn, another hard-hard lesson's learnedAs through the ashes passion slowly diesAnd this romance goes down to foolish pride


Ryou shook his head as he watched his best friend. For him it all seemed so easy and stupid. They seem to be having a competition on who was stronger but all that means was their stubbornness was making them losers.
The lesson that Yugi and Atemu were learning was a hard one. They need to get over their stupid pride and talk but it didn’t look like it. Ryou hoped they would learn this soon and get back together. ‘It seems this romance is going down in flames because of their stupid pride.’ Ryou though to himself.


He relives every word they spoke in angerHe walks the floor and punches out the wallTo apologize to her would be so simpleBut instead he cries I'll be damned if I'll crawlIf he loses her he's lost his best friendAnd that's more then just a lover can provideSo he wrestles with emotions that defeat himChalk another love lost up to foolish pride


“So you were a dumb ass. What’s new about that?” came the rough voice of Ryou’s older twin. Just like Ryou, this twin had white hair but unlike Ryou’s snow-white hair, his was silver. In addition, the hair had a wild look about it and instead of Ryou’s doe brown eyes; his were a rustic red color. His name was Akifa Bakura but only let his brother call him Akifa, everyone else called him Bakura.
“You’re not helping Bakura.” came Bakura’s best friend, if they could really be called that, Atemu Yami.

Atemu looked a lot like his love but there were some differences. Like their hair was the same color and shape but Atemu had blond lighting bolts going throw his hair where as Yugi did not. His eyes were smaller and more narrowed then Yugi’s and the color of crimson red. He was also taller then Yugi by three inches and was a darker skin color from where he was from Egypt. His family having moved to Japan when he was younger.

After the fight last night, Atemu had walked out. He had walked all over town and was really starting to regret what had been said. He really wished hadn’t said all that to his love.
After a while, he started to worry about Yugi and wondering how he was doing but knew that Yugi wouldn’t want to seem so he went to their friends’ house.
After telling them what had happened Atemu had asked Ryou to go and be with Yugi. Ryou said he would but wanted Atemu to stay there with Akifa until he called and told him what was going on.
So now, Atemu was stuck with Bakura, who was being no help.
Atemu started to pace the room again before standing in front of a wall and throw his fest into it. He was upset with the way he had acted last night with his love.
“You know all you have to do is apologize to the shrimp. He’ll take you back and stop hitting my ra damned wall.” Bakura had growled out the last part. He was sitting on the couch watching his friend pace the living room. “Will you sit your ass down? I’m getting dizzy.”
Atemu just watched him and growled. “I won’t go crawling back to him on my hands and knees. I’ll be damned if I do.” he said then dropped his head some.

Inside Atemu was having a battle with his emotions and fighting the urge to call his love up. Not only was Yugi his lover but his true love and his best friend. The one he told everything to.

“Damn it Atemu. You’re going to lose him because of your fucking pride.” Bakura said with a growl. “Even I wouldn’t be that stupid.,” he said mumbling the last part.

Turn out the lights the competition's overThe stubborn souls are the losers here tonightAnd while the bridges burn, another hard-hard lesson's learnedAs through the ashes passion slowly diesAnd this romance goes down to foolish pride


“You know, this isn’t a fucking completion. You are just being to fucking stubborn to go and say, ‘Yugi, I was an asshole. Will you please forgive me?’” Bakura said as he watched Atemu drop into the chair with a sigh. “I guess your right. I need forget my pride and go see him.” Atemu said softly as Bakura grinned. “I’m always right. You’re just now seeing it.” Atemu just growled at this.

Chalk another heartbreak up to foolish pride


Atemu sat there for a moment or two looking like he was thinking about something when his pants started to ring. Pulling his cell phone out he saw that it was Yugi calling him. After just watching it and fearing the worst, he answered it. “Hello. Yugi?”


A/N Ok people that’s the end of the one-shot. I left it open because I left it up to you to decided if they got back together or not. I couldn’t decide so just left it like that. Hope you all liked it and please review.
