Yami was facing the windswept ocean when Malik arrived.
He felt the sand rise and fall underneath Malik's weight, and stretched out a hand. Malik grabbed Yami's hand and stood beside him, watching the slowly receding ocean waves.
Never seen a
bluer sky
Yeah I can feel it reaching out
and moving closer
There's something 'bout blue.
"Yami… I- I'm sorry… it wasn't supposed to- it didn't have to be like—like... this. I need you, more than I've ever needed. Yami… what are you afraid of?"
"Afraid?"
Yami frowned, and drew in a long, shaky breath.
"Malik, I was just afraid, I mean, after wanting something, without ever hoping to really get it, and then having it in your arms t-to BE with… to love. It can be overwhelming. Especially when you've closed yourself off because it hurt so much." Malik's icy gaze had filled with tears.
"Yami, sometimes, you have to let go, and learn to love again."
Asked myself
what it's all for
You know the funny thing about it
I couldn't answer
No, I couldn't answer.
"Do you
love me, Yami?"
"Of course."
"Do you trust me, Yami?"
"Always."
"I love you."
"I know."
Things have
turned a deeper shade of blue
and images that might be real
maybe illusion
Keep flashing off and on
"Malik…Do
YOU love ME?"
"More than I love my world."
"Why?"
"Because you're the most tragically beautiful thing I've ever
known."
"Good."
Free...
Wanna be free, Gonna be free...
and move among the stars
You know they really aren't so far
Yami turned
to Malik, knees shaking, and losing courage.
The tears fell unchecked down his caramel, moonlit skin.
Malik's breathing was baited, until he opened his mouth to speak. Yami's fears arose for a moment.
I'm so free...
No black and white in the blue
"Yami…you know that we still have so much to go through...the pain is hard to conquer."
"Yes… I know."
Everything is
clearer now
Life is just a dream, you know
that's never-ending
I'm ascending...
"Do you
think we'll last as long as those stars?"
"Longer."
