(Lyrics are mostly from VOICE, with a few lines from Afureru Yuujou Ga Tomaranai. The translations I used were from janime.n e t.
Written right after I discovered the Yuugiou series was over, but before I found out the exact details of the ending. Now I know, but... Ah well. Should be good enough. This was a spur-of-the-moment thing, so please try to forgive me if it's total crud.
Without further ado, I present Eyes That Overlap.)

Todoketai todokanai kono omoi o
Strange. I should have been happy. After all, he was able to go home after so long. It's not like he could have stayed with me here in the modern world, anyway. I have to try and be realistic.
Okashii na yume mirunda ie no mae no kouen de
Kimi ni nageta BALL ga tochuu de ochichaunda yo
It's been hard, though. I've gotten used to talking to him during class, at home…. And we'd finally confessed to each other. It's going to be lonely at night now.
TABLE no moukou no kimi ni shaberi kaketeiru no no
Kimi wa hyojou hitotsu kaete wa kurenai
Konna ni chikaku ni noku ga iru no ni
I can remember when I used to be scared of him. He had been so violent, but once I saw that it had been for me and my friends, that's when we started to really connect. He had been so straight-faced all the time. But then he learned to smile, laugh…cry.
Todokanai todokanai kono omoi o hontou ni taisetsu na koto nanika na
You know, I think my memories of him are fading. I wish I had more to remember him by…. Of course, I'll always remember the night I lost my virginity to him. But I'm afraid that eventually, he'll be just a featureless visage hovering over me. What will I do when that happens?
Nanda ka dareka ni ayatsureteiru mitai
Kokoro wa hontou ni boku no mono na no
I wish I still had his guiding words. His constant presence in the back of my mind. The emotional and mental link. Now I'm finding myself more and more unsure as to what to do, what to say... He really meant a lot to me.More than I thought he had.
Kikoenai todokanai kimi no koe ga zattou ni saegirare kiete shimau
At least I've been able to come to terms with the fact that he's gone and isn't coming back. It's like he's died again. I wonder…. If I died, would our connection somehow regenerate, and I might somehow be brought back to him in Egypt?
Nanimo kamo ga yugandeiku
Nanimo shiranai kokoro ni modoretara ii no ni na
That's logical, isn't it? Yes, I suppose it is. We were so closely linked, it stands to reason…. And I loved him so much. It still hurts. If I could just see his face one more time, I'd be happy again.

Yuugi picked up the blade resting on the edge of the sink. Staring intently into the mirror before him, he lifted the razor to his wrists.
As the edge began to bite into his skin, he paused. Reaching out, he switched on the water so it'd be less likely that the blood would clog the drain.

Afureru kanjyou ga tomaranai
Onajiyume toki no naka sutto daiteitakatta
Mou hitori no boku…. I'm coming. We can be together again.

With a faint smile, he slashed his wrists open with two rapid strokes.
He remained standing as long as possible, watching the mirror as he listened to his blood flow down the drain.
As his vision began to blur and darken, he beamed weakly when he saw Yami's eyes reflected back at him once more.
"Ai shite'ru yo…." Yuugi murmured as he slumped to the tiled floor.

In the privacy of his personal quarters, Atem fingered his sword as he thought slowly.
Coming to a conclusion, he set his jaw.
Closing his eyes, he raised the blade to his throat and slit it.
They would be together again, right…? The Pharaoh smiled softly at this comforting thought as his awareness faded.
END.
