I wrote this while feeling depressed...For many reasons....And I think if I don't get some of it out I'm gonna freak out!!! And then I won't be able to write YxY fanfiction anymore and that'd suck!!! Yesh, "Live this Life" is a Big and Rich song, Country, hehe.

So here it is.

A one-shot ligh angst fic. Learn a lesson kiddies.

Things don't always work out the way you'd like them to. And that's not always a bad thing, sometimes it can turn out to be better, though sometimes it can be worse...

Sometimes you can get hurt, but that's just a risk you have to take in this game called life.

No...

Life isn't a game, it's serious, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to be serious about everything.

Yea, I'm talking about you, you who always took everything so seriously.

'Yuugi don't go out after nine.'

'Yuugi don't talk to those boys, they are dangerous.'

And who would have guessed that you, the over-protective one, would be the one of us that ran off with that icy jerk.

But then again, who am I to judge?

I'm sure you know what I speak of. I'm sure you know why it is that I can still stand, that I can still smile, even after you broke my heart.

I'm sure it bothered you, I'm also equally sure that you didn't want to hurt me, it just happened.

Things just happen, we can't control it.

It's life.

So don't worry about it anymore.

Sure I cried, sure I felt as if my stomach was breaking apart and I felt so sick...

But eventually we have to move on.

Everyone does.

You did.

So why couldn't I?

It wasn't working out...

You said so yourself...

Come to think of it, it was you who started the conversation, AND you who ended it!

Yet you're acting as though it could have ended differently, and yes, it could have. But it wasn't my choice, obviously, if it had been then you'd be here with me.

You.

No one else.

Even now, I'd prefer that. But I know what you'd prefer.

You like your men tall, huh?

Haha, it was just a joke, I know you're probably cursing me in your mind right now. I'm glad you're happy.

You are happy right?

I'd sure hope so, after the pain I went through for you.

But everything's okay, it has to be, I don't want to be sick forever.

Yes, I know what you're thinking, but it isn't your fault.

Seriously.

It's mine, if I hadn't been so...I don't know, clingy, happy, in love....Maybe you would be the one sleeping beside me. And maybe then I wouldn't be up all night.

Hah, another joke. Please, don't be so serious! Not now, not when it means so much to me to see you with a smile. But really....Was it ever me who made you really smile?

No right?

It was him, despite the fact that he was your...No OUR rival. But then again, it was why you liked him right? He could keep up with you, unlike me who was always in the way.

That's how you felt right? I'm happy for you, don't ever think otherwise. I'm sure everyone is, all of our friends! That'd have to be, since they also found love, right?

Jou is happy with Mai, Honda's with Otogi, Ryou's with Malik, Anzu is with that boy from school...What was his name? John?

Remember how much you hated him at first!? Because he flirted with me? Or so you said, he was straight. But if he was flirting with me now, how would you react? Would you be happy for me?

Nevermind...He wouldn't anyway, who would? Or I mean, who in their RIGHT mind would?

Don't you dare ask what that's supposed to mean, you know as well as I do that ALL Yamis are insane. You can't deny it. They were all locked away inside objects for three thousand years! Except Yami Malik...But he's gone.

Good riddance I say, he was crazy even without being locked away.

So how is Seto?

He didn't want to come to see me the other day, eh? But did you? Or were you just acting on your guilt? Don't feel guilty, please, don't feel bad because of me. I really don't need it.

This is life.

I'll grow up, as will the one lying beside me. I know you're wondering, Do I love him?

That's a good question.

I'll leave it at that. What I do know is that he makes me forget the pain, and that is a good thing right? And is he really screwing me? As for that...If you go to our website you'll find out.

No, no! I was just joking.

Are you laughing too? I hope so, because during times like this, where we doubt, or cry, or break, it helps to laugh.

I laugh.

I laugh whenever I wonder about what you're thinking about when he leaves you alone to go on those long trips, or whether or not you'd be upset by the way Bakura drapes his arm around my waist. I laugh thinking about the way you'd react to that. I can picture it, your face and all....Luckily he wasn't there when you came to visit, huh?

I'm laughing right now.

And I hope you are too, Yami.

"I live this life, until this life won't let me live here anymore..."

I hope you liked it!!! It was fun to write...Can I say that? Lol.

Review!
