Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Understanding ❯ Understanding ( One-Shot )

*looks around nervously* Yes, this is my first vaguely het-ish fic. Don't ask me why I wrote this, generally i don't even *like* the Anzu/Yugi couple. I think I'm going insane (and then there's the fact that it's after midnight and I have a headache). Please, feel free to flame, shoot me, whatever. I deserve it after this...o_O;; (ack! No longer will I be able to say, 'I only write shounen-ai/yaoi.....eeep...)

"Yugi, wait!" Anzu raised her voice desperately as she caught up with him, slowing to a halt beside him as he suddenly stopped, turning to face her. "Why...why is it that you don't think I'd understand?" Her eyes were troubled as she watched his hurt expression slowly change to one of sadness.

"Because..." He spoke quietly, gazing at the ground resolutely, a little hesitation marring his voice. "Because...you think I am one person." Yugi turned away again, refusing to watch her reaction.

Anzu paused for a moment as she considered his answer, before shaking her head in confusion and frustration.

"Yugi...?"

"...Anzu, you said yourself there were two sides to me...and, you were the first to see it. But, we are not the same person"

"...Your Sennen Puzzle...?" He nodded and brought his hands up to clasp it protectively, tracing his fingers over the ridges.

"...Yes. The...the side of me that you...that you like more, is..." He faltered, pain reflecting deeply in his eyes as he looked at her, "...Is someone else. He is not me, and....and I thought...thought that you should know."

Anzu's eyes widened as what he was saying finally sank in.

Suddenly she looked hurt and unconsciously clenched her fists by her sides, words spilling out faster and more angrily than she had meant.

"What made you think that I liked him better than you?! Yugi...I..."

"...It's alright, Anzu." His voice was slightly more calm and when he looked at her this time, she couldn't help but feel that his eyes seemed somewhat more expressionless than before. "I...I understand why you feel that way. Afterall, why wouldn't you? He's everything that I'm not."

"Yugi! No, that's not...that's not true..." She watched him helplessly, unable to do anything as he turned and started to walk away from her again. "Y-Yugi, wait!" Hurrying after him again, she grabbed onto his arm, forcing him to a stop. "Wait..."

He turned to face her again, but this time his actions seemed to hold a sense of finality.

"Anzu..." He admonished gently, bringing up a hand to gently touch the side of her face, sadness building as he saw the emotions there. "It's alright, Anzu..."

She wished he would stop trying to reassure her.

Before she could react he had quickly leaned up and kissed her softly on the cheek, murmuring 'Goodbye'.

She tried to reach out a hand to stop him from leaving, but he was gone.

Yugi...you think I could never understand what you're going through...you think I don't love you for yourself....Why did you leave me?! Why? I do understand you....

I just wish you could understand me.

Owari (uhh...well yes. You don't really think I'd want to write any more of this, do you?!)

Oh. Dear. God. Why did I just do that? Can someone tell me, please? I've always hated Anzu. Yet I just felt like writing that. o_O Aie, I need help.

Although....*shrugs* I was watching Yugioh today, and it just kind of struck me that it's actually Téa that I hate, rather than Anzu. Some of the Yugi/Anzu moments are actually quite sweet....*runs away and hides*
