Flashbacks
~*~I'm Tired~*~
Yami only stopped running when he reached the park; his aibou's favourite place. He sat down on one of the swings, remembering how Yugi would look up with his big amethyst eyes pleading for Yami to push him.
He always relented in the end. He had never been able to say 'no' to those eyes…
Listen to each drop of rain
Whispering secrets in the rain
"Push me? Yami, please?"
"I think you can push yourself, you're old enough now."
"I can't even reach the ground though!"
Yami looked and laughed when he saw that his poor vertically challenged hikari's feet hung a foot above the grass.
"Please push me?"
Yami stared into the violet orbs and felt all resistance waver, and his voice, of it's own accord, consented. He walked over behind his aibou and began to push him, smiling as his hikari laughed and pleaded for him to push him higher.
Frantically searching for someone to hear
That story be more than it hides
The way Yugi's eyes sparkled with happiness made it so that Yami couldn't resist anything he wanted. That's why each time Yami said it was time to go home, and Yugi didn't want to, they ended up staying another hour. And another. And another; until Yugi was ready to go.
And when they returned home late, after the sun had disappeared from the sky, and Jiichan was about to yell at Yami, Yugi would once again use his bright innocent eyes; this time in Yami's favour. And they would soon be back in Yugi's bedroom, neither having been told off.
Each droplet long gone?
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just so hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain
Every time they had even been to the park together it had never once rained, but now it was pouring. As if the heavens were crying alongside Yami.
He was sitting on a swing, rocking gently. The wind whipping his hair, the rain soaking him, but right now only one thing was on his mind; Yugi.
For some reason he half expected to turn to the swing next to him and see Yugi's smiling face, bright amethyst eyes shining, telling him everything was alright; that this was just some kind of nightmare that he could wake from and Yugi would be right there next to him…
…But the swing remained empty, the metal chains creaking gently as the wind rocked it.
I stand alone in the storm
Suddenly sweet I say no
Tears fell down his cheeks, he couldn't stop them; didn't want to stop them. All of his pain and frustration could be released in simple salty water droplets, they mixed with the tears of the heavens, but nothing could bring Yugi back now.
He had failed.
His light was gone.
Couldn't they stay for you haven't much time
Open your eyes to the love around you
Yami felt the rain become even heavier, he looked up to the skies, blinking back tears and rain. The sky was so dark, like him. Darkness was all he knew, without the light how would he know what was good? What was bad? All he could bring was pain and suffering. Yugi was the light to balance out the relationship.
Without Yugi, he was all darkness.
And now he was alone
You can feel you're alone
But I'm still here with you
Yami removed the Sennen Puzzle from his neck, and began to trace the pieces. He could feel emotions from inside it, the darkness and bitterness from his own soul…and the warmth and love from Yugi's.
The puzzle still held the essence of his aibou.
Yami held tightly to the Puzzle, he could definitely feel light from within it, darkness craves light, he had to do something; had to reach the light…
You can do what you dream
Just remember to listen to the rain
Yami lifted the puzzle high above his head and smashed it to the floor. It exploded into a thousand pieces, all scattering over the rain soaked grass. Yami smiled as he felt his spirit return to the Puzzle, engulfed in bright white light and warmth.
"Hikari…"
Listen…
