Disclaimer- I do not own Mariah Carey's song "All I Want for Christmas" nor do I own Yu-gi-oh nor am I saying that Yugi or any of his friends celebrate Christmas. But I do own computer and the rite to think what I want so there!
All I Want
Lyrics for the song All I Want for Christmas- look like this
The snow blanketed the ground as music blasted on the radio. The cozy home was filled with Yugi's friends, screaming along to the lyrics of songs and trying to dance, although so far none have been able to beat Anzu on her new Dance Dance Revolution machine. Presents were scattered everywhere, varying in size and color. Everyone was excited to open the gifts addressed to them, everyone except Yugi that is.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the present
Underneath the Christmas tree
He smiled when his friends handed him various packages, but in truth he knew the one present he wanted, needed it felt like, wouldn't be delivered no matter how hard he wished. Yugi didn't much care about the gift Anzu proudly gave him, a scarf she probably made herself though he did put it on and give her the most sincere, "Thanks Anzu!" he could muster up. Everyone saw through it though. Yugi is a horrible liar. They all tried desperately to get him to have some fun, but all attempts failed. He just sat there, smiling and praying for his dream present. What he wanted was stuck in Egypt dragged there by Isis to do some more research. Yugi could just see him in his head, crimson eye, spiky multi-colored hair, impish sly grin, so far yet so close it seemed. He sighed. 'I guess some dreams just can't come true.' He thought.
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true….
All I want for Christmas is you
"Yug?" Yugi jumped as Jou reached for his hand. "C'mon man! You have to dance at your own party. Where is your holiday spirit?" Yugi laughed half-heartedly. He made a real attempt to make his best friend happy dancing along to the music and smiling, but inside he prayed for the end of this stupid party so he could just go to bed.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
After about an hour later, Yugi's friends left, each giving him a hug. "You sure you don't want me to spend the night?" Ryou asked. Yugi shook his head. "I'll be alright. I've been home alone before." Ryou nodded sadly and left. Yugi sat amongst the wrapping paper and trash on the floor in his hauntingly silent living room. The red and green ornaments on the tree glimmered with light and memories of putting each one up just a week earlier. His old red stocking hung lonely over the open fire place, without its twin green one that was taken to Egypt.
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Everything reminded Yugi of him, so he decided to take a walk. He passed by the church where kids sand carols and bells rang tunes, not at all matching his mood. So he walked on in a daze of Christmas wishes. He traveled through the park, drenched in cold wet snow. As he passed by an old Santa sitting on a bench, he stopped and couldn't help but stare. What was an old guy like him doing outside in this weather? "Hey mister…" Yugi began to say, but the Santa Claus interrupted him. "Oh hey little guy. Merry Christmas! What would you like from old Santa Claus?" Yugi sighed. He wasn't a kid anymore, didn't people realize that? "I want my Yami." Yugi mumbled in response, not much caring about the confused expression the Santa Claus gave him.
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
He began walking again, hugging his coat tighter around him as the snow blew harder against him. 'Maybe a walk wasn't that good of an idea.' Yugi thought. Looking up at the dark sky as the snowflakes fell Yugi could only think one thing,
I just want you for my own
More then you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you baby
He returned home to the empty house, his thoughts loud in his head. 'Oh Yami! Why did you have to leave me alone on Christmas?' Tear coursed through Yugi's eyes. He paced the house silently waiting for his lover to come, though Yugi knew fine and well that no matter how many times he stopped under the mistletoe, Yami would not be there to sweep him off his feet with a kiss. The snow picked up, blanketing all of Domino City in white. Yugi didn't even want the stupid snow this year because he wouldn't be able to make snow angels with Yami or go sledding with Yami or make hot chocolate with Yami. He wouldn't be able to do anything with Yami. No matter how hard he wished, Yugi knew the truth all along; Santa was not bring his Yami home to him.
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Here under the mistletoe
Yugi walked the stairs up to his room, pulling on a pair of warm pajama pants with a sigh of sadness. He remembered when he would stay up, filled with excitement, trying to hear the reindeer's jingle bells or Santa Claus's loud ho ho ho. He would sit in bed pretending to sleep, while really his eyes were focused off into the distance searching for a glimpse of the red sleigh. Yugi wouldn't do watch for Santa this year.
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for St. Nick
I won't even stay awake to
hear those magic reindeer click
Instead he crawled into bed, wishing that he could just skip Christmas this year. It would be no good Christmas without his koi here to share it with him. Yugi shivered with cold as a burst of wind blew at his window. The sky sparkled with snow and magic on the one day a year when everyone should be filled with happiness and joy, but instead Yugi felt empty and forgotten.
Cause I just want you hear to night
Holding on to me so tight
What else can I do…
He pulled the covers up over his head, trying to beat the cold. Snuggling close to where Yami usually slept, Yugi shut his eyes tight. He mumbled one last Christmas wish before he fell asleep…
"All I want for Christmas is you"
He slept soundly dreaming of Yami, so close yet so far. All around him people woke up and unwrapped gifts. They sang carols and laughed merrily. They had wonderful times while Yugi slept. Mokuba was in the Kaiba mansion dragging Seto out of bed and to the huge tree. Ryou and Bakura drank egg nog. Anzu sang along to Christmas carols as her mom played the piano, and Yugi still slept.
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
He did not awake until very late into the day. Yugi dragged himself out of bed and went downstairs. He poured himself a bowl of cereal sadly. 'Stupid holiday' he thought. 'Why even celebrate this stupid day?' Yugi's bad mood only worsened when the doorbell rang. He yanked open the door. "Yes?" he asked, a little pissed off. "What do you want?" "Away in a manger no crib for…" Yugi slammed the door before they could finish the line of the song. He cursed the carolers all to a bloody doom in the Shadow Realm. Yugi was most defiantly not in the mood for a happy cup of cheer today.
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
the one I really need
Won't you please bring
my baby to me
"Bah Humbug" Yugi said. He could be as Scroogey as he wished. Santa didn't bring his present. He didn't get his one wish. He had plenty a reason to be upset with the whole stupid Christmas holiday. Yugi sat on the couch and flipped through the channels until he came to a 24- hour Christmas marathon of "It's a Wonderful Life". Oh how he loathed all these happy holiday shows. Couldn't anyone just be in a bad mood like he was? After about an hour of the movie, once again the door bell rang. "Damn Carolers." He mumbled as he got up. He slowly walked to the door, planning on chucking snow balls at them until they ran away and didn't come back. "What?" he screamed as he through open the door in anger. Standing there was not what he expected.
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
"YAMI!" Yugi screamed louder then anyone had ever screamed before. Standing in front of him, was what seemed like a way to good to be true dream. A short spiky haired little imp with crimson eyes and a gift in hand. "Oh Yami, is that really you?" Yami smiled and took Yugi in his arms, hugging him tight. "You were expecting maybe the Easter Bunny?" Yugi laughed and kissed him on the cheek. "Yami, it really is you. You're here! You should be in Egypt. Did you ditch Isis? I can't believe you ditched Isis! How dare…" " I missed you, my light." Yami cut Yugi off with his wild little grin. "I missed you more, my Yami." Yami walked in the door and promptly looked up where his favorite plant was hung above him. "Hikari, you have to kiss me right?" he asked with more grinning. Yugi too grinned. "Yes Yami. I have to kiss you." And so they kissed. And this is why Yugi still believes in Santa Claus.
Oh I just want him for my own
More then you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
