Yeah, I did it again. I wrote another one-shot. And I use My Immortal from Evanescence. Beautiful song. Who agrees with me? I write these idiotic brain farts when I don't feel like writing a competent chapter for one of my main fics. Helps, I guess. The one-shot plot-bunnies won't LEAVE ME ALONE!
The bold italics are the song lyrics...
I proudly present to you: Immortality.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or any song by Evanescence. Isn't this obvious?
"Yeah, yeah, Serenity. I'm fine. See you tomorrow." I put down the phone. It's been 20 years since Yugi left, 25 since Atem left.
Ever since his other half left, Yugi was more introspective, quiet. And he never smiled the way he used to. His eyes were never as bright. We got over it, but I guess he never did. One day he went home and we never saw him again. He ran away. Mr. Mouto took it hard, but he's been surviving. Though, at the age of 90, his heart's been giving him more trouble than ever. He won't last much longer.
Walking out of the house, I decide to wander. Without knowing it, the first place I end up is the arcade. I can't believe it's still here. I'm so tired of being here,
Suppressed by all my childish fears.
And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave.
'Cause your presence still lingers here,
And it won't leave me alone.
I can't go in. How can I? Ducking my head, I run. I end up at the mall. Thankfully, no memories here. These wounds won't seem to heal.
This pain is just too real.
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears.
I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have,
All of me.
Looking around for the fun of it, I see some kids having a birthday party. Yugi did that for me. A surprise party, just after Duelist Kingdom. Tristan had later told me that Yugi had planned everything. Now, I'd call him and remember he's not there anymore. His face haunts me, always a glimpse. You used to captivate me,
By your resonating life.
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts,
My once pleasant dreams.
Your voice it chased away,
All the sanity in me.
These wounds won't seem to heal.
This pain is just too real.
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears.
I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have,
All of me.
People tried to tell me he'd come back one day, but it's been 20 years. I don't know my feelings anymore. Do I love him still or hate him for this? Can 'Friends Forever' still last? I've tried to tell myself that you're gone.But though you're still with me,
I've been all alone.
I'm home now. The tears flow unstopped. One would think that you couldn't cry anymore after 20 years of crying. Nope.
I hear a knock on the door. A very soft knock. I rub at my eyes, staunching the flow of water for now.
I open the door and there he is.
"Tea?" He asks.
Well?
