Ok, I'm back after a few positive reviews of readers. Thanks! This is
another song fic (I'm finding I enjoy doing them). As before, I don't own
Yu-Gi-Oh, BBMak, Mountain Dew, or anything else in here except the plot.
This started as a Kaiba x Yami, but quickly changed directions on me.
First try at this pairing/genre. Comments more than welcome!
Enjoy!
~..~ song lyrics *..* flashback from Kaiba's POV
The Ghost of You and Me
~What am I suppose to do with all these blues haunting me everywhere~
Everywhere Kaiba turned, he kept having memories of him. Granted, it had only been two weeks, but since Yami had broken up with him, it was all the CEO could do to keep his mind off the former Pharaoh. The radio was still set on Yami's favorite station, there were cans of Mountain Dew still tucked away in the refrigerator, and some shirts of Yami's that all left harsh reminders of what life use to be.
~Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow I can't let go When will the night be over~
Sitting alone at the huge oak table, Kaiba stared into the dancing flame of a violet candle. The candle was the same color as HIS eyes. The blank stare on Kaiba's face didn't convey any of the scene playing before his eyes.
*The table was set for two. There was a fondue pot in the middle
flanked by violet candles. The same as what Kaiba was staring into at
the present time. Inside the pot was sweet melted chocolate.
Surrounding the pot was various fruits waiting to be dipped in the
sauce.
Just then, Kaiba's butler came in leading Yami. "Sir, is that all?"
"Yes. Take the night off. Don't come around till morning."
The butler left, and Kaiba motioned for Yami to sit. Taking the
seat next to the Pharaoh, Kaiba picked up his fork and speared a
raspberry. Carefully dipping it in chocolate, he fed it to Yami.
"Mmm...sweet" murmured Yami.
Noticing that Yami had a bit of chocolate on his lower lip,
Kaiba leaned in and slowly kissed it off.*
"It's true. I can't forget about him." Unable to keep the loneliness inside any longer, tears began to escape from cobalt blue eyes. Laying his head on his arms, Kaiba fell asleep at the table like so many nights before, waiting for the first rays of light to chase the nighttime memories away.
~I didn't mean to fall in love with you And baby there's a name For what you put me through It isn't love, it's robbery I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me~
Kaiba sat on his bed. It had the sheets that he and Yami had slept together on. That was the first time Kaiba got to fulfill his fantasies of the Pharaoh. Both young men enjoyed themselves, but vowed not to speak of it to any of their friends. Lying back on the bed, Kaiba swore he could still smell Yami's scent. How the Egyptian smelled like cinnamon, he never did understand, but it was a scent that only belonged to Yami. Turning on his side, Kaiba imagined that Yami was lying next to him. For a brief second, Kaiba thought he could see a ghosted image before his eyes.
"You're losing it, Kaiba," he thought to himself before drifting into a restless sleep.
~Seen a lot of broken hearts Go sailing by Phantom ships lost at sea And one of them is mine~
From spying on Yugi's group, Kaiba watched as various members fell in and out of love with each other. Joey continually made advances towards Mai who promptly shot him down. Tristan and Duke were always fighting over Joey's little sister Serenity. Tea and Yugi, however, looking back on things, Kaiba really didn't mind that those two never worked out. Tea could be a little annoying, and he never understood what she ever saw in Yugi. Kaiba watched all of them, observing how they acted when in or out of love. The fact that Kaiba realized he fell hard for Yami somewhat surprised him. All the "magical talk" about spirits and millennium items wasn't real. Was it?
*Lying on his bed, Kaiba watched Yami sleep. He reflected on how
angelic the Pharaoh looked. Only when he was sleeping, he resembled
Yugi so much, that Kaiba began to wonder if that "magic talk" wasn't
at least partly true. Everything seemed perfect for the CEO, until
Yami walked out of Kaiba's life for the last time. After that, the
feeling of emptiness had never really left Kaiba.*
~Raising my glass I sing a toast to the midnight sky I wonder why The stars don't seem to guide me~
Sitting on one of his many porches, Kaiba was looking up at the stars. Remembering how Yami liked to watch the night sky for hours.
*Yami was sitting in the same place Kaiba was now. The CEO brought
out two glasses filled with a sweet red wine. Ho offered one to Yami
as they both stared up into the clear night sky.
"They're beautiful tonight." Observed the Pharaoh, "much like they
were in Egypt during my time."
"Look over there!" Kaiba pointed. There was a shooting star just
passing through Orion. "I haven't seen many of those lately."
Yami's gaze turned from the stars to the young man beside him. "You
really do have a soft side," he said in amazement.
Kaiba just stared at the Egyptian. Then, Yami did something Kaiba was
unprepared for. He leaned over and kissed the CEO. Both felt the
electricity in the kiss.*
Ever since that night, the stars held a special significance for Kaiba. During the time he was with Yami, it seemed as if all the answers lay within the night sky. The stars would lead him to anywhere he needed to be. But now, they only brought Kaiba a sweet pain.
~I didn't mean to fall in love with you And baby there's a name for what you put me through It isn't love, it's robbery I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
The ghost of you and me When will it set me free I hear the voices call Following footsteps down the hall Trying to save what's left Of my heart and soul~
Walking from his limo to the door, Kaiba knew what awaited him. It had been happening a lot since the break up. He'd come home, walk in the door, and he could hear HIM. It seemed his voice could be heard when it was silent. There were times Kaiba thought of having a mental check-up, but was too embarrassed to go.
"When is this going to stop tormenting me?" he thought? "I need to move on. Find someone new."
Even that thought seemed to make Kaiba sad. He only wanted the Pharaoh that continually found ways to haunt him. Going to his workroom, he sat down to write some codes, but never got that far. He brought up his email client and sent off one quick email.
~Watching the candle flicker out In the evening glow I can't let go When will the night be over~
The individual who Kaiba sent the email to had arrived earlier that evening. They'd shared a wonderful supper, made by Kaiba himself, complete with candles and wine. Now, they were currently sitting by the edge of Kaiba's pool, looking up at the night sky, just watching. When the air grew cool, the pair went inside to warm up
~I didn't mean to fall in love with you And baby there's a name for what you put me through It isn't love it's robbery I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me.~
As Kaiba leaned over to blow out the candle that was beside his bed, he looked at the sleeping form beside him.
"I know I've moved on. It still hurts at times, knowing what I've lost, but somehow, I think the stars have given me another chance at this. I still hear his voice and I still think I see him when I'm alone. But one day I'll let go of him completely." Kaiba thought to himself.
Looking down at his partner, Kaiba leaned in to kiss the drowsy
youth. Pulling away, he whispered, "I love you, Pup."
