Hi and Goodbye
It was a bright, hot summer day in Domino City. Beautiful weather for a stroll in the park or for just aimlessly wandering around. Many different faces were out today, but none held any interest for the tri-colored spiky hair, amethyst eyed teen. Walking down the street Yugi sighed, his heart heavy. He couldn't believe that it had really happened. For a couple months ago, Yugi and Yami's relationship ended abruptly. No explanation of why or how, it just did. And it killed Yugi inside to know that he had lost his one love and true best friend.
*FLASHBACK*
"Yugi...I need to talk to you." Yami said, his crimson eyes cast at the floor.
"Sure what's up?" Yugi said, turning to him.
"Um..." Yami scratched the back of his head. "I'm not sure how to tell you this."
Yugi looked at him confused. Sighing heavily, Yami began "I don't think this is working out." He said finally, looking up at Yugi.
Yugi's expression was blank, "What do you mean?" He asked in a monotone.
Yami flinched, Yugi never used that with him unless he was really upset. "I mean...I just...I don't know." He said truthfully, looking at the floor.
Unmoving, "Maybe you should go." Yugi said, refusing to let the feelings of hurt, anger, and sadness be worn on his face.
Yami flinched again at Yugi's tone and choice of words. But, not wanting to argue he slowly stood up, grabbed his jacket, and with one final glance over his shoulder at the still unmoving Yugi whose face was expressionless, Yami left the room shutting the door lightly behind him and he was gone.
*END FLASHBACK*
It had been a while since he had last seen Yami. "I wonder how he's doing?" Yugi thought to himself as he walked and looked out over the wharf at the beautiful blue ocean. "I wish I could ask him or that he would tell me. But all we say now is hi and goodbye, nothing more."
"I see you walking down the street..."
Turning, Yugi continued on his way his thoughts stuck on the pharaoh. But he hadn't walked ten steps before he saw the familiar tri-colored spiked hair, slender but toned body and ivory pail skin that was Yami.
Still walking, Yugi continued to stare at Yami. Why now was it that he saw him when he just happened to be thinking about him? It always seemed to happen that way! As if they were still connected through the millennium puzzle.
"I catch your eye before we meet..."
Just then Yami's crimson eyes locked with Yugi's as he drew closer to him.
"But you look down to check your feet..."
But Yami quickly cast his gaze down at his feet, shoving his hands in his pockets acting as if he hadn't seen Yugi.
"I wish I'd say are you ok
You're looking better every day..."
Yugi wanted so badly to reach out and stop Yami. He needed to know if Yami was alright, to know how he was doing.
"But I just smile and walk away..."
Thinking better of it, Yugi just smiles lightly at Yami then walks by him without a second glance. Dropping his head slightly, he felt as if his heart was being ripped out of his chest for the first time, as if they had only broken up yesterday. Feeling the start of betraying tears, Yugi quickly ran and hid behind a flower shop. Just barely getting out of view before the fell down his cheeks. Sobbing, Yugi asked aloud, "Why did this happen to the two of us Yami?"
"Why did two lovers..."
"It's like you and I are total strangers to each other now." He cried, wrapping his arms around his chest trying to hold himself together.
"End up like strangers..."
"When did we stop seeing eye to eye Yami? What happened to us?" Yugi asked, sobbing.
"When did we stop seeing eye to eye..."
Smiling sheepishly, Yugi reminisced about the good ol' days with his pharaoh. When things were smoother, easier. He remembered how ever time Yami was near him, how his heart would flutter and somehow he was always out of breathe.
"Every day you took my breathe away..."
But now there was nothing between the two. No words at all.
"But now there's no reply..."
"It's like a silent hi and goodbye." Yugi said, his heart breaking more.
"Only Hi, Goodbye..."
Yugi remembered the day that he told Yami how he had felt. How he was so scared that Yami wouldn't return his feelings, only to find out that the pharaoh felt the exact same way. He swore it was a dream come true.
"Like a dream come true..."
He loved how he got so much time alone with Yami.
"When it was me and you..."
Crying harder when he asked 'Why?' again. Because he didn't know why that they only managed hi and goodbye.
"Now I just don't know why
We say Hi and
Hi and Goodbye
(Hi and Goodbye)..."
~Meanwhile~
Yami walked quickly away from the wharf that overlooked the ocean. He had just past Yugi, his aibou. He stopped, he couldn't call Yugi that anymore. Not now since they had broken up. Yami thought back to the day he left. How Yugi sat on the bed unmoving, emotionless. Yami cringed, and banished the image into the far reaches of his mind. The reason he left was because he was afraid. He was afraid of the love that he was feeling for Yugi. He didn't know how to handle it, so he panicked and left. Hanging his head in shame, Yami continued walking down the sidewalk till a bright light of a window shined in his peripheral.
"I know it sounds like a cliché..."
Yami looked over to the right, a small smile crossing his face as he thought 'This sounds so cliché my little one.."
"But when I pass our old cafe.."
He saw the old cafe that he and Yugi would always go to whenever they would visit the beach.
"It always feels like yesterday (like yesterday)..."
"It almost feels as if it was yesterday that we sat there and talked like we used to Yugi. As if none of this ever happened." He thought to himself, as a small ache in his heart began to grow.
"We shared a blanket in the cold..."
Walking further down the street, Yami saw the small hill where him and Yugi sat sharing a blanket together one cold autumn night. Actually, it was the night that Yugi confessed his love for him.
"To give a promise made of gold..."
Yami's heart ached when he remembered the promise he made to Yugi, one he swore on the millennium puzzle that he would never break.
"We had a deal through heart and soul..."
Tears betrayed him as one fell down his right cheek. For, when he swore on the power of the millennium puzzle, it was a deal through their hearts and their souls that Yami would never break Yugi's. But he broke that promise.
"Why did two lovers..."
"Why did it end this way between us Yugi?" Yami asked.
"End up like strangers..."
"Why are you such a stranger to me now?" He asked again, as he slipped into a small back alley as he felt his heart begin to break.
"When did we stop seeing eye to eye..."
"When did we stop seeing eye to eye Yugi?" Yami cried aloud, as he leaned against the stone wall in the alleyway.
"Every day you took my breath away..."
"How I remember that he would steal my breath with every kiss." Yami choked out, a small smile on his face.
"But now there's no reply.."
But he cried again when he remembered the encounter on the wharf, how neither replied to the other.
"Only Hi, Goodbye..."
Just a silent Hi, Goodbye.
"Like a dream come true..."
Yami wrapped his arms around his chest, attempting to hold himself together as he remembered the day Yugi confessed that he loved him. How he felt like it was a dream come true.
"When it was me and you..."
He remembered how he adored the time he got to spend with Yugi alone. Without the others to poke around and ask questions. To steal his aibou's attention away.
"Now I just don't know why..."
He cried harder, because he didn't know why that he could only say hi and goodbye to the one that he loved for so many years.
"We say Hi and
Hi and Goodbye
(Hi and Goodbye)..."
~Yugi~
"I remember the way
We always had words to say..."
Wrapping his arms around his legs, Yugi thought back to the time when he and Yami would talk for hours. That the they always had something to say, something to talk about. But now...they could barely say anything to each other.
~Yami~
"And nothing could tear us apart
I knew you by heart..."
Yami remembered how he swore that he would never let anything tear him and Yugi apart. That nothing and no one would come between them. "I knew your dreams. Your desires. I knew you by heart aibou." He cried, putting his face in his hands.
~Yugi~
"We were eye to eye
Now we're only Hi and Goodbye..."
"We once saw eye to eye. Now we can only say hi and goodbye." Yugi cried as he came to realize that he may never get Yami back.
~Both~
Yami and Yugi both looked at the sky, wishing they could know what the other was thinking at this very moment, as their memories of their relationship ran through their minds in complete unison through the mind link that they still shared, neither aware of it.
"Every day you took my breath away
But now there's no reply
Only Hi, Goodbye
Like a dream come true
When it was me and you
Now I just don't know why
We say Hi and
Hi and Goodbye
(Hi and Goodbye)..."
~Yugi~
"Hi and Goodbye (goodbye)..."
Collecting himself, Yugi stood and walked towards his grandfather's game shop that was just down the road from where he was sitting.
~Yami~
"Hi and Goodbye..."
Shaking his head, his cheeks stained with tears, Yami stood and brushed himself off and walked out the alley and back onto the street. Walking in the original direction he had been before his heart took over.
~Yugi~
"Hi and Goodbye (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)..."
As he reached the dark green door that opened into the shop, Yugi grasped the handle and turned it. Looking over just in time to see Yami only a few feet away, who in turn had stopped. Yugi noticed that his eyes were red, had he been crying?
~Yami~
"Hi and Goodbye..."
Yami had stopped as he saw that Yugi was in front of the game shop door, and was staring at him. He also noticed that Yugi's beautiful amethyst eyes had bright red rings on the edges of the white, indicating that he had been crying for some time. Yami wanted so badly to reach out to him, to hold him and tell him that everything was ok. But he thought better of it, for he was sure that was the last thing Yugi would want him to do. So instead, he straightened and silently nodded 'Hi' at Yugi then turned and left the other way, his heart breaking more with every step. Bidding a silent and final 'Goodbye' to his lost love.
~Yugi~
"Goodbye..."
As he watched Yami's retreating form, Yugi pushed in on the door. "Goodbye, Mu Hitori No Boku." And with that he turned and entered the shop, shutting the door lightly behind him.
I apologize if this sucked. I'm not very good at song parody one-shots yet.
