--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been about 2 years after the Ceremonial Battle. Not many people remembered that day or what happened before that except on person, the one person that didn't just loose that person but apart of himself. Just like his world was split in two so was he, missing his other half Yugi went through a lot to regain himself back to his original state.
He never forgot and neither did his close friends. Apart from his other half having passed into the after life, they also lost their close friend that knew Atemu right from the start. She had told them what hadn't been wiped from her memory of him. Lara had disappeared 3 months after Atemu left.
Yugi nor did his friends know why just that she wanted to be alone and in doing so left. They had seen her around Domino a couple of times; she always stayed with them for a while before returning home somewhere. On that pacific day Yugi would listen to a collection of songs including:
Within Temptation - Somewhere, Memories Tokyo Hotel - Rescue Me Meatloaf - It's All Coming Back To Me
Just so he didn't forget that he loved Atemu with all his heart and wouldn't have it any other way. Lara had returned for that week, being her normal self too. Yugi really wasn't looking forward to read a poem out in English at college tomorrow. Yes he and the rest of the gang went to college for a better chance to get somewhere in life. Yugi had taken to writing and drawing a lot lately. He had to write something about someone or his feelings then read it out. His only hopes were if he did manage to read this poem that that person Atemu would hear it.
The next day Yugi and the gang were sitting in there usual spots in their class. Yugi doing what he always done in English was drawing random things until his teacher called him up to read his poem. Now standing in front of the class Yugi began to read aloud his poem trying his hardest not to cry or shed any tears in class.
"You were everything,
I ever wanted.
You were everything,
I ever needed.
Now you're gone.
I don't know if,
I can continue without you.
You were here for so long
But yet so little.
I hardly knew you,
You hardly knew yourself.
I know it's selfish of me but,
I wish you had stayed.
Stayed with me.
I didn't get to tell you,
I love you.
You could tell I think,
Everyone else could.
I wish I had of told you.
I didn't want to loose you,
Like I have.
I regret everyday for not,
Telling you my feelings.
I still wonder what things would be like,
If you had stayed.
Stayed with me.
I can't help but think,
Would you have been happy?
Happy with me?
I wonder if you feel the same?
Did you feel like I do?
Or do you still?
Giving you up that day was the hardest thing I've ever done.
I did that because I love you too much to see you in pain.
I would rather suffer than see you in pain because I was selfish.
I know you're,
Not coming back.
It's been so long,
But I never forgot.
I never will.
I will never forget,
The sound of you're voice when you call my name.
The colour of you're loving eyes gazing upon me that last day.
How you're smooth skin feels on mine.
If I had the chance to change everything I would want to, but I wouldn't just for you,
I may love you but I can't change the past for me to be happy.
I don't know if you're happy there.
Where ever you are.
I tried to move on,
But I can't.
Not with how I feel,
For you.
I've wanted to end my life so many times just to,
Be with you.
I know that would hurt you if I did.
When I'm upset I know you're watching me,
From where you are.
I know you didn't want to leave,
I know you had to.
Do you ever think what would have happened if you,
Had of stayed?
I guess not.
If you had you wouldn't have left.
Would you?
I remember you telling me
'We will never truly be apart'
I didn't understand back then,
I do now.
But I feel like I lost half of myself,
You made me whole.
I really do miss you.
All I ask of you,
Is to give me a sign,
To show you still care
And you're ok,
Where you are."
Before anyone could comment Yugi ran straight out of the room. Heading for his dorm and making if without anyone stopping Yugi quickly locked his door before collapsing onto his bed now with more tears forming. Crying himself to sleep every time he was like this.
Dream:
"Huh! Where am I?" He asked himself looking around. His surroundings were that of the cave where he last saw Atemu. He walked over to where he had placed the 7 millennium items. The whole place seem as it did when the arrived untouched. The items were still where they were placed for some reason that he didn't know. Distant foot steps caught Yugi's attention. Moving back into the shadows where he was before emerging into the light he caught site of someone's shadow. The dark figure that didn't notice him walked towards the items before turning to see Yugi hiding behind a stone pillar.
Yugi stepped back before hitting the stone. The figure straighten it's self now only a few inches taller than himself. It then started moving closer to Yugi, Yugi didn't have anywhere to go but stand there hoping this person wouldn't hurt him. Standing back to it's original height the figure kneeled down to Yugi's height starring right at him. Yugi couldn't see it's face due to the long black cap it wore. The figure moved it's right hand to touch Yugi's left cheek. The teen was rather startled at first but the touch felt familiar some how.
It's skin was a light bronze colour showing a golden bracelet wrapped around it's wrist. Not being afraid Yugi moved both his hands to take the hood from covering the others face. He was curious to who it was. The figure jumped slightly before removing the hood it's self. Yugi's eyes widened at what he saw. The only person Yugi wanted to see for the past two years was standing before him. He still bore the outfit of a pharaoh, he didn't seemed to have aged either.
"A-Atemu is that really you? Is this real or a dream?" He managed to say before Atemu placed his middle finger upon Yugi's lips silencing him.
"Yes aibou, it's me. I haven't much time."
"Wh-wh-what do you mean you don't have much time?"
"I knew you would ask that. The gods decided to test you, that's why they sent me here in you're dream to know you're task when you wake up later." Atemu finished before pulling Yugi into an embrace Yugi had longed for. Yugi wrapped his arms around the other pulling him closer before he had to let go.
"So what is this test and what for?"
"See that's the test you have to figure it out. The gods are letting me live in you're world for one day, tomorrow. If you complete the test I get to stay with you and live a life with you in you're world. But if you don't I have to return to the spirit world."
"Does that mean when I wake up tomorrow you be where?"
"With you. At yours Yugi and tomorrows a Saturday in the human world right?"
"I-I...I don't know what to say besides how did this happen? What caused this?" Atemu smiled at how cute his aibou looked when he was confused.
"You should know that one aibou." Yugi looked at him looking even more confused than before.
"I should?"
"Yep. You're poem you read this morning some how made them reconsider my request."
"You're request? You asked to be with me?"
"Yes, I wanted to stay Yugi but I didn't know how much more you would last with me living in the back of you're mind before you got sick of it. I'm sorry Yugi I must go now, but I will see you later I promise." Before Atemu disappeared back into the shadows he placed a gentle kiss on Yugi's forehead.
End of dream:
Yugi awoke to some ruffling noises in his room. Clenching his eyes shut even harder hoping that it would just go away. After a few seconds he opened his eyes to scan the room for what was making all that shuffling. Raising his head from the he didn't see anything in his room. It looked exactly as it did when he cried himself to sleep. There was something wrong though; the only thing that came to Yugi's mind was the still feeling of Atemu's lips on his forehead. Yugi placed a hand other the still damp area of his forehead while thinking about what Atemu had told him earlier.Did Atemu mean that he had to do what he wrote in the poem or something else? Argh all this thinking is hurting his head.
