Yugi's head was spinning as he sat up, and his vision shifted in and out of focus. Standing up he grabbed his head with his right hand as he moaned slightly in annoyance…It was now Christmas…
/Guess my wish didn't come true/
Yugi walked slowly down the stairs, looking about for his grandpa who was no where to be seen.
As Yugi walked into the kitchen he spotted a note on the side of the fridge.
(Letter)
My Dear Yugi.
Im really sorry, truly I am. But Arthur Hawkins just called from Egypt, It seems a new tomb has been discovered and you know how it goes. Im sorry I wont see you when you wake, but merry Christmas my grandson. Keep smiling.
Love Grandpa.
/This….This cant be…I never t-thought I'd spend Christmas alone/
Tears cascaded down Yugi's checks as he fell to the floor and screwed the note up. Crying out his anger, despair and frustration as his whole body shook.
You're never alone aibou… Yugi's head snapped up, his vision becoming blurry for a second before he saw an empty hallway and began to cry again.
/Yami! Where are you? I need you/
The doorbell rang, causing Yugi to jump from the sudden noise as he stared angrily at the door.
"GO AWAY!" His voice was laced with emotions as he continued to cry.
It rang again…And again…
"Alright already!" Yugi yelled as he ran over to the door and pulled open the door in frustration.
All his fears just seemed to melt away as his gaze lingered on the person in the door way. Their crimson eyes full of tears as a small smile was on his tanned features.
"Im always there for you aibou…Always"
Tears fell down Yugi's checks as he wrapped his arms around his Yami's torso catching him in a friendly hug with so much hidden passion behind it that left Yami in shock.
"Its ok Yugi, I'd never leave you alone." Yami whispered as he rubbed soothing circular patterns on his back.
"I-I thought everyone had left me….I thought I wasn't worth their company"
"Yugi"
Yami raised Yugi's head up so they met eye to eye and Yami smiled.
"Let me sing you a song…" Yugi only nodded as he listened to what Yami had to sing.
"I wanted, to be like you, I wanted everything. So I tried, to be like you. And I got swept away"
Yugi tilted his head slightly in confusion. This song…What did his Yami mean?
"I didn't know that, it was so cold in.
You needed someone to show you the way.
So I took you're hand and, we figured out that, when time comes I take you away." Yami gently took Yugi's hand in his own and rubbed his thumb over the back of Yugi's hand, smiling as he continued his song.
"If you want to, I can save you. I can take you away from here. So lonely inside, so busy out there.
And all you wanted was some body who cared"
Yami's voice was so deep that it almost lulled Yugi into a sleep, before the lyrics gradually sunk in and he looked at Yami in surprise.
/He's singing this song…because of me. He's singing it because it is about me/
"Im sinking slowly, So hurry hold me.
You're hand is all I had to keep me hanging on.
Please can you tell me, So I can finally see, Where you go when you're gone…" Tears began to fill Yami's and Yugi's eyes as they looked at each other, a sad smile on Yami's face as he let the tears flow freely but wiped Yugi's away with his free hand that wasn't cupping Yugi's own hand.
"If you want to, I can save you. I can take you away from here. So lonely inside, so busy out there.
And all you wanted was some body who cared." Yami smiled at Yugi, A genuine smile to the young boy who smiled back before twisting around in the embrace so his back was to Yami as he closed his eyes and began to sing himself.
"Oh, all you wanted was somebody who cared…If you need me, you'll know ill be there." Yugi's voice was a gentle rhythm, and it calmed Yami immensely who wrapped his arms around yugi's waist and began to sway.
"Oh ooooooh Yer." Yugi finished of as Yami began to sing again.
"If you want to, I can save you. I can take you away from here." "I can take you away." Yugi's matched perfectly with Yami's as he sung along with him "so lonely inside, so busy out there.
And all you wanted was some body who cared." Yami whispered in Yugi's ear as he nuzzled Yugi's neck lovingly.
"ooooh somebody who cares…." Yugi whispered back.
"If you want to-" Yami was cut of by Yugi again who smiled up at him, earning a smile back.
"if you want too"
"I can save you. I can take you away from here"
"I cant take you away." Yugi murmured back to Yami as he rested his head on Yami's shoulder. "So lonely inside, so busy out there." Yami replied as he placed a hand to Yugi's heart before he pointed to the outside world to issue what he meant. "And all you wanted was some body that cared." Yami's smile grew as Yugi smiled to him and turned in the embrace yet again so he was facing his Yami again. Both inhaled as they sung the end of the song together,
"Please can you tell me, So I can finally see…
Where you go when you're gone…." Yugi buried his face into the crook of his Yami's neck as Yami smiled and hummed to calm Yugi down.
"Aibou"
"Yes?" Yami smiled as he bent down and placed his lips upon Yugi's in a chaste kiss, making the other blush as Yami straightened back up and smiled.
"I told you I would never leave you alone, and I intend to keep that promise. Merry Christmas Aibou."
Me: That's it. The end…I don't know who this song was by, but the story was quite emotional to write while I was listening to the song as well. I love that song that they sing. So pretty. Anyway reviews please.
