Somebody to Love

Ryou's POV

// Can anybody find me somebody to love
Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little

Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry) //

I tried really. I honestly did. I tried to give him chances. I gave him many chances. Too many perhaps.

Maybe it was because I was too easy on him. Maybe it was because I wasn't there for him. Maybe it was because I didn't stay up to wait for him long enough. Maybe it was because I didn't care for Mokuba enough. Maybe…maybe…maybe…

No. That's not true. Bakura knows it. Mokuba knows it. He knows it. I know it. So why…

Why….

He knows why. Bakura knows why. Yami knows why. My BEST friend Yuugi knew why. Not one. Not one, fucking one of them told me.

I suppose it was one of those situations where you had to find things out yourself. But still…It hurt damn it…It hurt….


// Lord what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you

I think
but I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love? //

Damn him…I really wish sometimes…

Bakura is getting to me…I'm starting to sound like him. I'd talk to him, but he's a bit busy trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol. I suppose that's better than me. I'm 'Flooding my soul room' like he said before he shut down the link.

It hurt when I opened that door. I really wish now, that I hadn't gone to surprise him at work. Well, at least now I know why he was always coming home so late and why Mokuba stopped going to the office.

I knew what was going on. I suspected it for a long time now. But I'd always hoped that…it wouldn't come to this. I suppose I, we, have no choice.

// Yeah
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) Can anybody find me somebody to love? //

I don't know who has it worse. Me or Bakura…I mean, I walked in on them, but he…he was dumped right after Yami and he…I suppose either way, both of us are the losers in our relationships. The saddest part is that…we got dumped for each other's partners. I suppose life just likes to play with the two of us.

I really do think that my yami has it worse. This isn't the first time. I think. From what I'm getting from him as he's talking to the bartender, it's happened before. Oh dear…I suppose I ought to comfort him, but then…he'd just brush me off like he always does.

// (He works hard)
Everyday (everyday) - I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah yeah yeah yeah //

Bakura's not bad to me. Most of the time he just ignores me. If anything, he's been very understanding about this. We've come close to a few bonding sessions as it is. We're alike, he and I. Though neither of us would admit it, I think both us know that we're too much a like for our own liking.  We both have our good and bad points. It just seems as if Bakura has more bad than good and vice versa for me.

Bakura and I…we only started to act the way a real yami and hikari should after we discovered that our other halves were cheating on us. I suppose than, we had a real reason to bond. After all, misery loves company right?


// Oh Lord
Ooh somebody - ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Can anybody find me someone to love) //

I always knew, that someday, Seto would leave me for Yami. I suppose Bakura knew that too. It's like fate. Destiny. It happened three thousand years ago, and it happened now. Fate is such a funny thing.

Bakura never said anything about me and Seto. He only pointed out that I wasn't the only one who would get hurt. And I suppose now, that he is right. Yuugi was pretty hurt too. But that was because he liked Seto and thought Seto wanted to spend time with him, when all Seto wanted was to get close to Yami.

It's not like I was really ignorant or anything. Neither Yuugi nor I are as innocent or as carefree as we appear to be. Yuugi… just is…I…I chose to be as oblivious to the things around me as much as I can. What you don't know won't hurt you right? Wrong. I learnt that with Bakura and Seto.

// Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright - he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord! //

I know Seto was never really there for me. There were a few times, when he didn't call out for me…but for Yami instead…I never said anything and neither did he. We acted as if it never happened. But it still hurt. To know that he was just using me to release his stress.

Still, Seto was nice enough to me I suppose. He told me at the start, that things were not going to be a fairy tale and I told him that fairy tales were for little kids and that I never needed those. I suppose that that's a lie now. I really could use a fairy tale about now. Something like Seto and Yami realizing their faults and crawling back to me and Bakura.

// Find me somebody to love X 7 //

I think I only stuck with Seto because I felt left out when everyone else paired off. I think we sought each other out of desperation back then.

Yuugi had Anzu. Mai and Jounouchi were together. Otogi and Honda were one rather surprising set. Malik obviously had Marik. They were the only yami and hikari pairing in our group. I had Seto and Yami had Bakura…or so we thought.

We found out soon enough.


// Find me somebody to love love love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love somebody somebody somebody somebody
somebody find me
somebody find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

(Find me somebody to love)
Ooh
(Find me somebody to love)
Find me somebody, somebody (find me somebody to love) somebody, somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)
Find me, find me, find me, find me, find me
Ooh - somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)
Ooh
(Find me somebody to love)
Find me, find me, find me somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)
Anybody, anywhere, anybody find me somebody to love love love!
Wooo somebody find me, find me love. //

We thought we were actually special to them. Well, it seems, after tonight, despite one year of being together, one year of trust, one year of believing, one year of hopeless wishing, it has come down to this.

We are leaving, Bakura and I. And I'm not sure we're going to come back.
