Letter To Me
It's been exactly 3 years after their marriage. The time has finally come for him to share his treasure with his husband. His treasure consist of an old notebook, a little pink girly eraser he got from his sister for his 10th birthday, a candy wrapper that was the first candy he had ever eaten, an old photo of his grandmother, an old winkle brown rose that used to be red; that Seto gave him on their first date, their wedding picture, and a white… envelope? He doesn't remember ever adding a white envelope to the collection. So, where did it come from?
The whit envelope seems the oldest, but he couldn't have put it there right? He reaches for the envelope and turn it back and forth to examine it. The only thing written on it was, Letter To Me. He stared at it oddly before deciding to take a look inside. He just hope it isn't something he's not suppose to see or read.
He nervously tears the envelope opened and reached for what's inside. Luckily it was just a plain white paper. He set the envelope down and unfolds the paper. Dear Myself, he began reading. Honestly, the handwriting was quite messing and hard to read.
Dear Myself,
I know that when I read this again, it will be when I'm older and wiser. I know I won't believe I wrote this myself, so I'll just say something that only we know. Inside the house, under our bed, there's a secret compartment in the floor where we kept our treasures. We kept the treasures inside a wooden box from our grandmother the day before she died.
Now then, I hope I understand that I'm not some stalker or something. I'm just a little 11 in a half year old boy who believed myself years from now will be reading a letter from myself. I know it's weird for a boy to write a letter back to him self, actually, it's weird also when other people do it. Anyway, I just wanted to say, how am I doing years from now?
Wait, I think it's too forward. Ah whatever at least I know its me that's reading this and not someone weird people out there. Ok then; let's begin what I wanted to tell myself.
Do you remember the little brunet boy we met in the park that night we ran away from home? I still can't believe we were only 8 then. Anyway, do you remember how blue is eyes were? It especially blue liked the ocean. It's too bad we didn't ask for his name.
Do you remember what he promised us that night?
In fact, he does remembered. He can't believe he forgotten all about that little boy.
He promised to marry us so that we won't be separated. Even though we only played for a little while, it felt like we knew each other for a long time. I wonder how that little boy is dong? Would he still remember the promise? Maybe not, there was no point for him to remember.
Oh, do you remember that little blond girl that just wouldn't leave us alone? What was her name again? I don't remember. Anyway, she was so annoying and irritating. She would always cry whenever we refused to play with her during recess. Gosh she was so annoying! But she was kind of cute in a way. At least she finally had given up now.
Oh I just remember, you know that tri hair color boy and his taller look alike? I thin their names are Yugi and Yami? I've heard their grandpa opens up a game shop close to our house. It was pretty cool! I met a brown hair girl there too. Her name is Tea. She likes to dance and was telling me things about friendship and a bunch of other stuff that I don't remembers. I guess she likes to talk?
That reminds me, I met another brunet boy, but he wasn't the beautiful brunet we met that night. His head looks like a pencil in a way, but he was really nice. His name is Tristan and he's funny too. Oh, I met two British with white hair that looks alike too. They are called Ryou and Bakura. They're cool too, except the Bakura. He's kind of crazy and an excellent thief. He stole the teacher wallet in front of everyone, but like wise, no one saw. He only told me later on and got scolded by Ryou. It was funny to see Bakura sulk.
Joey chuckle lightly and continued reading.
You know, I asked mom what it feels like to love somebody, and she said that it was a happy feeling that can't really be explained. She also said that one day I'd know. I can't wait for the day I finally know what love is. But I bet you know already know right?
You're so lucky to know. I bet you're happy too. Good, because I wouldn't want to be alone for the rest of my life. By the way, I hope we met the beautiful brunet soon. I just hope that he will remember us.
Love, Myself
P.S. I want to marry the beautiful brunet too!
Joey burst out chuckling at himself. Who would have thought he would write something so cute like that back then? And that's not all, who would have thought the beautiful brunet was Seto? The world is such a small place.
"Joey? What are you doing?" He sprung around and looked up at his beloved brunet, who was leaning on the doorframe with his arm cross over his chest.
A genuine smile spread across his face, "Seto, come here. I want to show you something."
"Show me what?" he asked with a confused look.
"My treasures!" he replied with another genuine smile.
