Wind Beneath My Wings

Yugi looked back on everything Yami had done for him without recognition and he began to think of the lyrics of a song.

It must've been cold there
In my shadow
To never have some light
On your face.

Yugi could never remember Yami ever having a problem with being anonymous.

You were content to let me shine

That's your way
You always walked
A step behind.

Yami only used his own name once, after much prompting from Yugi, he otherwise let Yugi take all the credit.

I was the one
With all the glory
But you were the one
With all the strength

Yugi always looked up to Yami and Yami seemed to truly care about Yugi.

A beautiful face
Without a name
For so long
A beautiful smile
To hide the pain.

Yami was truly Yugi's hero.

Did you ever know
That your my hero
And everything I'd

Like to be

I can fly higher
Than an eagle
'Cause you are the
Wind beneath my wings

Yugi in a way felt that Yami felt his contributions had gone unnoticed because no one acknowledged it.

It might have appeared
To go unnoticed
But I have it all here
In my heart

Yugi knew in his heart he should thank Yami for everything he's done.

I want you to know
I know the truth

Of course I know it

I would be nothing

Without you.

Yugi pulled out a sheet of paper and wrote.

"Did I ever tell you
Your my hero
And everything I wish I
Could be

I could fly higher
Than an eagle
'cause you are the
Wind beneath my wings
Thank you,
thank god for you
the wind beneath my wings
--Yugi"

Yami later came across the note and smiled as he read it. He knew Yugi would check back later to see if he had read the note.

"It was no problem for me, and Yugi, thank you for caring about me, and giving me more chances than anyone else would have – Yami" He had spoke it aloud as he wrote, he turned suddenly to see Yugi nearby smiling softly, typically.

Yugi had on occasion thought Yami would leave, because he had been getting no gratitude for everything he did, but this made Yugi see, he had a permanent friend in Yami. Yugi needed to know that Yami, his closest true friend wouldn't leave him, Yugi put his arms around Yam and asked, no begged him to stay, Yugi was surprised when Yami hugged him.

"I'd never leave my friends, especially not you" he whispered.

"Thank you"

"No problem."
