1Days passed, then months, and soon a whole new year was born for the spiky haired boy. Each day more agonizing then the last. It was because of that note. That damn note had been on his mind for a year. He had just waited for a knock on his door, Atem would be on the other side, and yugi would attack him, but that never happened. That letter lied to him, his friends had lied to him. Now he felt more alone then ever.
Slice
the cool metal ran across his soft flesh so easily, smoothly. And then there was red. Yugi stared at it. This time there was no voice to tell him no. to tell him to stop. Atem's voice must have faded from his head now. Atem had completely left him now, and this made him cry. He ran to his kitchen, and started to fill the sink with water. As it filled a drop of blood would fall casually into the water. Momentarily there would be a spot of red that started to slowly fade into nothing.
Yugi chuckled.
It was like him. His blood was like him. Dropped in the world where his pain consumed him. Soon he would fade away just like the blood in the water.
Once the water level made it to the depth that yugi needed, he dunked his hand into it, the water still falling from the faucet. He watched, watched as the dark red blood started to consume the clear water. Yugi smiled. Now he would consume something. He would make some impact on the world now. He would be in the news papers.
'King of game commits suicide.'
Now people would care about him, but at the same time, he wouldn't care. He would be dead, away from it all. No media hype, nothing. He was only happy when atem was here. Maybe now he would be able to be with him now. He was the only thing worth living for.
Things started to fade slowly, as he heard his heart beat quicken, beat harder, within his ears. He could feel his legs getting weak. He was starting to fade away slowly. It was hard to keep his arm inside the water now.
He fell
laying on the ground now, split wrist up in the air facing the ceiling, and tears sprouting from his violet eyes. How could one person do this to him? No, it wasn't just atem, it was everyone. Everyone just left him, and now it was his turn to leave.
"Yugi, no!"
That voice. It brought a smile to his lips as he felt it lift him up in its arms. He looked up, his eyes hazed from the blood loss. He couldn't see anything, it all went dark, and now he went limp.
'I was lied to.'
'No you weren't'
'Everyone left me.'
'No we didn't'
'You left me'
'I'm right here. Please, yugi open your eyes.'
'I don't want to.'
'Please yugi, open your eyes!'
Against Yugi's wishes he could feel himself waking up once more into the world. He had failed. He could hear a small beep to his side and as he woke up more, the beep grew louder, and seemed to be moving closer. His body didn't really want to respond to him, but he could feel something on him, and in it. His violet eyes started to slowly open. His fingers twitched and his eyes wondered to one side. His wrist was bandaged and there was an IV in one arm. He chuckled. He found himself in a hospital gown and bed. He could smell the latex from the gloves the doctors used constantly. He could smell that he was in a hospital, that annoyingly clean, latex smell about.
"Yugi?"
He heard a familiar voice coming from his other side. Yugi's reaction, close his eyes. It wasn't real it couldn't. It was just his mind playing another trick on him. Effects of the blood loss.
Those thoughts slowly faded when he felt a warm hand rest firmly on his forehead. Yugi opened his eyes and looked over to his side. His eyes didn't go wide or anything, well maybe just a little. The site before him didn't seem to be real, but the touch on his forehead proved that it was real. Atem was sitting at his bed side, tears falling from his reddened eyes. Atem was really here.
"How?"
Yugi squeaked almost so quietly that it was almost unheard.
"I have my ways."
Atem said with a soft smile, glad to see that yugi was ok. Happy to know that he wasn't too late.
"Why? Why did you save me? I was coming to see you."
Yugi said, his voice weak from his fatigue. Atem chuckled once more and grabbed a hold of yugi's hand softly, brushing his thumb against yugi's knuckles.
"What would be the point of you dying if I was already in this world?"
He whispered lightly. A small blush came to Yugi's pale cheeks. Perhaps this was a dream. maybe he really was dead with Atem. Who knows. Nobody really knows what happens after death. Or if he was alive, his mind could just be playing a trick on him thanks to the blood loss. Yugi then sighed, figuring it was best to stop thinking about it.
"You didn't stop me this time. I didn't hear your voice this time telling me to stop."
He squeaked as tears started falling from his eyes once more. He released Atem's hand, but Atem didn't let it go. He held yugi's hand tighter.
"I'm sorry, I was just trying to get to you, to surprise you. I didn't notice anything was wrong."
Yugis head fell to one side once more, looking away from atem once again.
"It doesn't matter, you are just going to leave just like everyone else."
He muttered and Atem's eyes looked hurt once again as he heard yugi's depressed voice. How could yugi think that atem would leave him again? After he worked so hard to return.
"I'm not going to..."
"Just go away."
Yugi said, snapping back his hand from Atem. Atem just sat there, looking at yugi in disbelife. Why would yugi think that about Atem? He had come back for him.
"Im not going anywhere."
Atem said in just over a whisper.
"Why not? You left me before, why not do it again?"
He muttered in his pillow.
"Because I don't plan on leaving behind the one I love when he is in pain."
