Tea's Independence

Disclaimer: I don't own YuGiOh or the song.

Note: Well, this was gonna be a one shot but, ITS NOT GONNA BE ANYMORE!!! Tea-haters beware! This is a Tea friendly fic! Be gone Tea-bashers! Also, for all the people that like Tea/Yami, sorry, but I hate Tea/Yami. I love Tea/Yugi though!

This is in Tea's POV (no duh) In this fic Joey is 21, Tea is 20, Yugi is 20, and Serenity is 18

~*~Chapter 2 * Tea's POV~*~

I was walking to the café where I would be meeting Yami in about 15 minuets. We had been going out for 2 years. Yami no longer lived with Yugi, he lived in an apartment two blocks from me, and I loved going out with him, as he was always so caring.

~From the day we met

~You made me forget

~All my fears

~You knew just what to say

~And you kissed away

~All my tears

Yami was always so supportive, like when I hadn't saved enough money to go to New York to study dance. Ever since we started going out he sent me a rose and a note with his initials, Y. M. The rose and note were so touching, and he could always make me smile.

~I knew this time I had finally found

~Someone to build my life around

~Be a lover and a friend

~After all my heart had put me through

~I knew that it was safe with you

~What we had would never end...

~Wrong Again.

Recently though, I had been the one talking about meeting up and the one arranging everything. Yami, you've been hanging out with Joey and Serenity, they're almost always together, a lot more than me. You seem so distant and far away from me, almost as if you don't love me anymore.

~ Everybody swore

~They'd seen this before

~We'd be fine

~And you'd come to see

~That you still love me

~In good time

Mai assured me that a lot of men did this from time to time, as soon you would be back to normal. I believe her, it dose makes sense. Oh, here's the café, I better get us a table. I enter and am very surprised to see you already here.

~ And they said there's nothing you can do

~It's something that he's going through

~It happens to a lot of men

~And I told myself that they were right

~That you'd wake up and see the light

~And I just had to wait till then

~Wrong again...

I was very surprised when you leaned over kissed Serenity, not a friendly kiss, an I-love-you-totally kiss, like the way you use to kiss me. You didn't notice me behind you, but Serenity did. She looked up at me guiltily and started to try and make an excuse.

I held up my hand, slapped that cheater Yami across the face, and then ran out, tears falling down my face. I wasn't paying attention where I was going and ran right into a tall, lean but muscular man. We both fell, me landing on top of him. I looked at him, and noticed his fetchers as he rubbed his now sore neck.

~ And it seemed to me the pain would last

~My chance for happiness had passed

~Nothing waited 'round the bend

I glanced over the young man I had run into. He looked to be about 6' 5" and looked very familiar. But could it be? Then the 20-year-old's eyes looked into my own, and widened in surprise. "Tea?" a deep, but companionate voice asked me, "Is it you?"

"Yea, but the real question is that you Yugi?"

"Yup, its me!" He noticed the sadness in my eyes, "What's wrong?" Even after 2 years of not seeing each other, he still cared. I couldn't help it; I spilled out everything, or started to. He put his hand to my mouth and laughed. "Hey, motor-mouth, lets talk at my house. I'm getting kinda thirsty. I'll give you a ride, 'k?"

I smiled and nodded at his childish teasing. I knew he didn't mean it, as his beautiful amethyst eyes told me that he was truly happy to see me and really cared about me. "Fine Yugi." He led me over to a nearby parking lot and over to a motorcycle. He handed me an extra helmet and helped me on. I put on the helmet and we drove to the game shop.

When we got there, Yugi unlocked the door and we went to the kitchen. On the table I noticed a red rose wit ha note attached to it. I glanced at the note; it had the same message as the one I had been getting for 2 years. 'I would wait for you forever. Your love, Y.M.' I always assumed it was from Yami, but now I knew the truth. When Yugi looked at me again with those big, caring eyes, I could tell what he was going to say before he said it.

~ I was sure I'd never find someone

~To heal the damage you had done

~My poor heart would never mend

~Wrong again

~Wrong again

"Tea, I, um, love you." He stated enviously. I didn't say anything for a moment, and saw him sigh sadly. I needed to answer him, and did so by kissing him. I liked the beautiful shade of pink Yugi sprouted. Yami, eat your heat out.
