Heartbroken
Joey, Tristan, and Tea were walking around aimlessly. Tea and Tristan had told Joey they needed to talk to him. "So what's this about anyway?" Joey asked. They stopped by a Womping willow to talk. Tristan and Tea looked nervous.
"You realize he's using you, right?" Tea asked. Joey looked at her, knowing that by 'he' she meant Yugi. "I know." He replied. Tea and Tristan looked surprised. "Then why . . ." Tristan stopped when Joey held his hand up for silence.
"You guys haven't seen what I have. Yugi doesn't let anyone except me see just how heartbroken he really is."
"Make them go away! I don't want these memories anymore. I don't want to remember him. I just want the pain to go away."
"I know he's using me. Just as he knows that I only love him like a brother. We both know it's not real, we don't care. Yugi just wants the pain to go away. I just want to see the old Yugi, even if only for a few moments. We don't do anything serious. It's mostly just hanging out really.
He'll eventually find someone else to take comfort in. He'll let them know that they're being used to take his pain away. He's still Yugi after all. They'll know it's not serious. They'll understand he can't love anyone else.
Yugi is completely and utterly heartbroken. I can't trust him to take care of himself any more. For once, I'm not sure he can make it out of this." Joey explained. Tea and Tristan looked ready to cry. They didn't realize just how much pain their friend was in. "Ok, I understand. Let's go back and see Yugi now." Tristan said.
They walked into the game shop and went upstairs to Yugi's room. When they walked in, they saw Yugi lying on his bed with a peaceful expression. A single, bloody cut was on his wrist. They knew instantly that Yugi just couldn't handle it anymore. Tea started bawling while Tristan went to call an ambulance and Joey went to check his pulse. Tristan came back in and Joey shook his head. "He's gone." They all sat in the room, mourning for their heartbroken friend. 'I hope your happy now Yugi. Take care of him, pharaoh.' Joey thought.
End
Emerald-demoness: Oh my god, I almost cried while writing this. I got this idea after watching a really sad YugixYami AMV. I couldn't get it out of my head so I wrote it down. This is my first time writing Yaoi, so it probably isn't that good. Oh well.
