Verse Two:
Yuugi awoke at some point in the night to someone yelling. After listening carefully, he decided it had been a dream; the only sound he heard now was his yami's slow steady breathing. Something else had woken him as well; he was warm, much warmer than usual. Still groggy and half asleep, Yuugi tried to roll over to get more comfortable. It was then he recognized the extra heat.
Never cared never wanted
He was shocked to find Yami sleeping behind him, arms wrapped around his own slender torso. Fully awake now, Yuugi tried to move from out of the embrace. However, he quickly changed his mind and settled back against the warm body of his sleeping yami. 'I just don't want to wake him.' Yuugi tried to convince himself, knowing he stayed because he was not at all uncomfortable in their current position. While smiling to himself and blushing softly in the darkness, Yuugi thought that perhaps Yami was more interested in the relationship than he let on.
Never sought to see what flaunted
Yami had seemed cold and more than a little difficult to get along with at the beginning. Hell, who could blame him? Having your soul split apart for centuries was bound to do that to a person. He had been bitter and aggressive, not towards Yuugi, but to anyone around who had an extra second to be verbally attacked. So much time had past since Yuugi completed the puzzle, since he and Yami were united, he hadn't even noticed the slow changes in Yami's personality.
So on purpose so in my face
There was something gentle about him now. It had happened slowly, over the few years they had been together. Gradually, Yuugi saw his bitterness towards the puzzle melt into gratitude that it had brought them together. Moreover, Yami's aggression gave way to a desire for companionship, which he found in Yuugi. In the presence of his yami, in the danger he represented, Yuugi found support and stability he had never experienced or expected. It was a give and take relationship, and he never anticipated anything else.
Until now…
Couldn't see beyond my own place
Here, here in the secure embrace of Yami, Yuugi realized he was content. There was no fear of being betrayed or beaten. Yami had stopped Yuugi's aggressors early on. No fear of loss. Yami promised Yuugi and his family would be safe, which included his friends as well. Still, a shadow of doubt pulled at his mind. There was no love in the relationship. Yes, there was friendship, and respect, and loyalty, but there was no love. It was something Yuugi could not live without: that feeling of undying safety in the arms of one and only one. Questions arose in his mind at such thoughts. Why would he believe such a feeling? Of course there was love. A friendship could not grow without it. Besides, if there were no love between the two of them, then why would his yami lower his defenses for Yuugi? This act of protection or whatever it was tonight would never be seen had Yami not felt love or trust.
It was so easy not to behold what I could hold
'How could I have missed it?' he sighed to himself. Jou had been telling him for a long time he was too naive. Apparently, it was true. He had gone for weeks, months, maybe years without realizing how his Yami felt. It took such an intimate action as he displayed tonight to make him realize it.
But you taught me I could change
Whatever came within these shallow days
Chorus:
Or perhaps something else caused such a strong reaction in Yami. He had been acting oddly recently, always on edge and extremely anxious. It was too late at night to worry about it. Yuugi thought he heard something like laughter in the back of his mind.
Besides, Yuugi liked the idea of Yami being in love with him. He felt himself blush again at the thought. If he was, it wasn't a one-sided emotion. Yuugi felt it too.
And I will never see the sky the same way
He no longer wanted to be secretive about it. 'But what if I'm wrong? What if he doesn't feel the same?' Insecurity he thought long gone washed over the lighter half. Suddenly, he wished his yami were awake to tell him everything would be fine. No. He had to know he was stronger than that. He had to be sure that he would not have to rely on Yami for everything. Needy was something he never wanted to be again. Yami had made him stronger, and he wanted to stand on his own now.
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
Yami groaned in his sleep and tightened his embrace around his hikari. Yuugi heard yelling again, though he could not make out the words. Realization hit him hard. The yelling and laughter was in his mind, or more likely Yami's. Something was definitely wrong. Again, he realized it was late and there was little he could do to aid his yami. Instinctively he snuggled as close as he could to his companion knowing all he could do was be there. Pulling an arm out of the embrace, he placed it on top of Yami's own.
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high, 'cause I've seen
His sudden closeness quieted his yami's restlessness. When he was sure Yami was sleeping peacefully again, he took Yami's hand and placed his own in it, intertwining their fingers. Only then did he allow himself to drift back to sleep. Light fading into darkness…
'Cause I've seen, twilight
