I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!
So this is just a fluff piece I came up with while watching Fairy Tail. And it has nothing to do with it. Weird. Anyway, this is for the romantic/dramatic angsts so people who hate romance/drama of any kind and who don't love Atem/Tea….don't read. Enjoy. Let me know what you guys think.

Dear Atem
It's been a year since you've been gone. Without you our little group is so much quieter.
I have to say I miss the old days, because you were here as well. We miss you so much. I miss you so much.
I can't even begin to explain to you how I feel. I wish I could have. I wish I had been stronger. You never held that against me though, the fact that I wasn't as sure of myself as the others were. You knew, I suppose. You knew my feelings, the feelings I wish I had told you about. It might have made that moment last a little longer, even though I would pay for it later with my dreams, dreams of a future I have no right to dream about.
I once told you that I want to become a dancer. I know that isn't a normal profession, and one that's always going to be rocky, but you said something to me that made me determined to follow the path I chose. If you don't remember what it is I'll tell you. You told me to always follow my heart. And that's what I'm doing.
I've been accepted to a prestigious dance academy in New York. I start in a few weeks. I don't know why but I'm procrastinating in my packing. I know things are changing, have changed since the day we met you, so I don't know why I'm so averse to this one. I suppose it's because I'm leaving everything behind and starting anew. To be honest, we all need a fresh start.
The other guys are also following in my footsteps. Most kids our age don't experience even half the things we went through in their entire lifetime. Those kids are always hanging around Yugi asking for advice on their decks or how he managed to beat Kaiba. You were there with him but that's not something he can share with others. For a brief moment you were a part of our time but you're also our secret.
As for Kaiba, he mostly keeps to himself these days. I suppose that's only natural seeing as how normally our paths wouldn't cross unless it's during the course of a tournament.
We all had to grow up since you left, Atem. It hasn't been easy. We're each going through our grief separately and even though our bond is as strong as ever we're not emotionally strong enough to deal with each other's pain. The strength to overcome this pain will come in time, Atem. That I believe.
Yours Truly
Tea
