I start crying all over again, the silent saline flowing out of my eyes. What do I do? Do I talk to him? Can I even talk to him? Not like this, not-
"Seto!"
Before I can establish what the hell is going on, I find Yugi pulling me into a tight
embrace. I sob quietly into his shoulder as he tries to comfort me. If only we could stay like this forever...
*All I need for you to know is*
"Seto, you're a mess. What happened?"
I can't even look at him, it's too much. I've broken down so much already, but if I look
at his face, his angelic face it'll be so much worse.
"Nothing happened, I just..."
"Seto."
Yugi tilts my head so he can see my face. I try not to look, but he's just too persistent.
Teary eyed and sniffling, I stare at his face and start bawling. His purple eyes are glazed with
worry, not shining with happiness as they should be. He places my head on his shoulder, and I
grip him tightly.
"Yugi I'm sorry but-"
"Ssh."
"I can't-"
"Just relax."
Yugi stars rubbing my back, making me loosen my grip, but letting even more tears flow.
I'm going to ruin his leather outfit if I keep this up.
*It's not that I wanna say goodbye*
I never want to leave him. I want to hold him to me for the rest of my life, I want to be
able to see his beautiful soul and body, I could even put up with Yami for him. I don't want to
make him go, but I have to. I have to and that's what's killing me.
*It's just that every time you try*
*To tell me that you love me*
I let go of Yugi, my heart screaming and cursing at me for doing so. I sit across from
him, still crying, not daring to look into his eyes again, for fear that it will sadden me even more,
if possible.
"Seto...I-"
"It won't work."
"You know I'll wait for you."
"Yes."
I hear a small sob, so different from my own, and I realize that it's Yugi. When I had
imagined hearing him cry at the game shop, it was bad enough. This, however, was the real
thing. I looked up to see his head hung low and streams of water running down it. His body
shook as he tried to breathe normally, not succeeding. Not thinking, I gingerly grasped one of
his hands, and he leaped into my arms, soaking my shirt as I did the same. I ran my fingers
through his mane of hair...so soft and yet so strong. Just like him. But not like me.
*Each and every single day*
*I know I'm going to have to eventually give you away*
Yugi clings to me as if I'm his last chance for sanity, digging his nails into my back
through my shirt. It doesn't bother me though. I'm too busy feeling sorry for us.
"Yugi."
He stops sobbing and pulls back just enough to look at me.
"You feel the same, don't you? Isn't that why I found you like this?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if we did, it wouldn't last."
*And though my love is rare*
*And though my love is true*
"Please, answer me Seto. I know you said you didn't at first, but..."
"I can't answer that."
Yugi sighs a little, then brings up his hand and wipes away my tears. The touch of his
hand is so intoxicating, I can't help but lean into it a little and close my eyes. He moves his
hands down to my neck and wraps them around me.
*Hey I'm just scared*
*That we may fall through*
"Seto...we could-"
"No, we couldn't. We'd part after a little while and feel even worse than we are now."
"Isn't it better to feel great joy and great sorrow rather than perpetual moderate sadness?"
"That's been my life so far, I can't change it. Not even for you...I'm sorry."
He stares at me, his eyes filled with grief, and something else as well: pity. Pity for my
inability to talk to others, to really talk and not just make conversation. Pity that I can't even express my love for him because my pride won't allow it. Out of nowhere, he presses his lips to mine so forcefully that I almost fall backwards. I respond eagerly, wanting to taste every inch of that sensuous mouth of his. Soon, our tongues get into the act as well, and I have to suppress a moan that badly wants to get out.
Yugi pulls away suddenly, leaving me rather confused. I can still feel the tears slipping
down my face. The little angel give a sad smile to me, and holds my hands. We sit there for a
minute, and then Yugi gets off the bed.
*I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away*
*I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is*
*And baby all I need for you to know is*
*I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away*
*I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is*
*All I need for you to know is*
"See you around, I guess."
I can hear Yugi's broken voice, and it's killing me. My heart is yelling at me to drag him
back here, confess my love and hold him until I can't hold him anymore, but I can only make out
a single word.
"Yeah..."
He slowly leaves the room, and closes the door gently so as not to break it. I can hear his
footsteps fade away, and I curl up into a ball, weeping silently on the crumpled comforter and
holding a pillow to my chest.
*I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away*
*I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is*
*And baby all I need for you to know is*
*I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away*
*I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is*
*All I need for you to know is*
*I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away*
*I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is*
*And baby all I need for you to know is*
*I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away*
*I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is...*
What have I done?
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^
Well, there you have it. I hope you all enjoyed it, let me know what I've done right and what
I've done wrong, I ask you please nicely. Have a nice day!
"Seto!"
