Hiiiiii! There's all this stuff about Yugi getting depressed, but Yami has just as much right to be depressed. Not that I'm dissing those kinds, I really like them ^_^ Just wanted to write something different.
Aanyway, it's short, but cute, so enjoy
Needed(Yami's POV)
Yugi came bouncing in my soul room with arms wide open and the usual grin spread wide upon his face. "Yami! Guess what!"
I couldn't help but smile at his happiness. "What?"
Yugi stopped right in front of me and smiled with that big grin of his. "I got an A on the math test I studied so hard on! And to congratulate me, Grandpa is giving me a card from his shop!"
Something tingled in the back of my mind, but I pushed it away. "I'm proud of you, aibou. Studying does pay off. Would you like me to help you choose?"
Yugi shook his head. "No thanks, Yami. I think I know which one I want anyway." He smiled up at me said, "better go, I think I hear grandpa calling me. Talk to you later!"
I watched Yugi disappear and soon after felt his body moving. I sighed and quickly tuned it out. I really wasn't in the mood to be concentrating on it. I had other things on my mind.
It's been like this for a few months now. Not that I minded, mind you, it just gets kind of boring after a while. Of course, it could also be because I do not control Yugi's body any longer. He let's me control his body three times a week, at least. Usually when he visits his friends or if he needs to rest.
He no longer has any troubles with the bullies. Which is a good thing, I suppose. No one to crush his self-confidence and he has his friends to protect him.
Which brings me to another problem. As much as I love my aibou, I do not feel needed anymore. He has Joey to protect him, Tea to talk to, and Tristan to be there. Who am I to be in it? Although, I really shouldn't complain. It was tough being relied on so much in Duelist kingdom as well as battle city. I enjoyed it, but at the same time, I think saving the world twice is enough pressure and worry for me. Yugi has certainly has his moments of trouble when I worry about him. But nothing is like that, for now at least. But the question still remains; does my aibou need me still?
I heard Yugi laugh with his grandpa then race upstairs. Once again, his smiling face appears in my soul room. "Hiya Yami!"
"Hello, Yugi." I greet him
"Ready to get some fresh air? You can see the new card I picked."
I smile gratefully at him. "Yes, thank-you. Are you sure this won't conflict with your social time?"
Yugi giggled and nodded. "'Course, Yami! I don't mind, 'sides, I want to visit my soul room sometimes." He turned to leave my soul room and move into his. I smiled at his retreated form. My own question was answered.
Yugi may not necessarily need me but I need him. I need his smile to light up my darkness. I need his optimism to contradict my pessimistic attitude. I need his innocence to remind me there is some good in the world still. I need Yugi. Besides, Who will protect him when the next evil comes?
Yugi may not need me now, but I will wait and I will be what he always said we were.
Best Friends.
Okay, so it wasn't quite as angsty as I thought it would be. So sue me. (Not literally) I meant it to be more about the pressure of protecting Yugi and friends, but oh well. This is good enough, right?
Please review!
