What's My Goal?
Chapter 2
Yugi lay awake in his bed staring up at the ceiling. He felt angry with Yami but guilty for what he had said to him. He had always known that Yami always worked hard for what he achieved. It always seemed that however much he annoyed Yami, it was fine. They would laugh and it would be forgotten. But this time it was different… He had never seen Yami so emotionally upset and hurt before. Yugi turned onto his side and stared at the glowing green numbers on his clock. It was only 10:45pm. He sat up again,
"Right… I need to get this sorted. Yami is my best friend and I don't want something like this screwing it up," he said aloud, while he began putting his clothes back on.
Yami sat at his desk, surrounded by crumpled pieces of paper.
"I can't live a lie… I know Yugi doesn't love me. How could he ever love me…" sniffed Yami, as he finished off his letter to Yugi, "I know he…he… will find a better friend than me… I'll… j… just get in the way," great droplets of tears rolled down his cheeks and landed on the letter. "Shit… I can't let him know I was in this state…" he growled as he tried to dry the paper, but eventually gave up. He tenderly sealed the envelope and kissed it before laying it down on the desk. "I'm guessing that's how close I will be to ever kissing you Yugi," he sighed as he pulled on his back pack, looking around the room at the same time. He had packed up everything in his bag and suitcase so he was ready to leave as soon as his friend's car came. Tears still rolling down his cheeks he turned his back on the room and made his way to the staircase. He creped down the stairs, making sure he didn't make a noise to wake anyone... He put his key in the lock and opened the door. Part of him wanted Yugi to come down and try and stop him from leaving, but the other half didn't want the awkwardness of that happening.
"I guess I won't be needing these anymore," he said, placing the keys on the small key hook. He took one last look behind him and finally closed the door on the best home he had ever had, the best life and Yugi…
Yugi creaked open his bedroom door and peered into the corridor. He stepped out and headed across the landing to Yami's bedroom.
"Yami?... Listen I just wanna say tha…" he froze when he found the empty room of Yami's. He stepped into the room and realised that everything was gone. A stab of dread rushed through his body until he realised the note.
"Well… at least he left a reason," he whispered, as he picked up the sealed envelope with his name on it. He opened the envelope and unfolded the letter.
Dear Yugi,
Well…I don't exactly know what to say here… all the years studying literacy and I have this excuse…I have come to my senses that I'm not exactly wanted here so… you got your wish…I've gone so you can now get on with your life instead of worrying about me…
"He writes a fucking letter and he starts rambling on about himself… typical…" Yugi said cold heartedly. He read on…
…But don't think that now I'm gone I won't care about you, actually I've cared about you for quite some time now…and I haven't been able to express my true feelings to you. I love you Yugi and there aren't any words for me to describe it to you. I could ask the best minds on the matter, but they still can't describe my feelings. My love has been the most beautiful of dreams and the worst of nightmares, as I know I have never had your feelings in return…
Yugi couldn't believe it! All this time Yami had had the same feeling for him and he hadn't admitted to it…
…Love without return is like… a question with no answer… Love from one side hurts but I thought with both our love my pain would heal, but I don't see that happening anymore…And as I've heard, a friend is one who knows who you are,
understand, where you have been, accepts what you have become and still gently allows you to grow… I feel that I know you but I actually don't… and the same for you. I've finally thought it through that I'm never going to give up on my dreams, even if it means…us not being friends…
Yugi noticed tear stains on the paper and also that he was adding to them… Why couldn't it just be like old times and that they had never argued so much?...
Just promise me that you live out your dreams like I want to live mine… And maybe one day, fate will bring us together again and I will dream of that day.
"The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a kiss" I'm afraid that's how close I'll probably be saying it to… through this. The course of true love never did run smooth and I regret my love never blossoming from it's seed into the fairest flower- for you it is a red rose…and…and for me it is my heart.
Yami
Yugi broke down into tears. Why did this have to happen? He would never be able to tell Yami that he loved him so much that it hurt… as if it hurt to breathe. He gulped in air through his sobs and looked back down at the letter. But as he did so he noticed something shining on the floor. He bent down to pick it up. It was Yami's favourite guitar plectrum which gleamed different metallic colours when the light hit it. He clutched it in his hands
"This is the only thing I have left…. Only thing left of Yami." he sniffed, more tears falling from his amethyst eyes. It was true, Yami had gone. Was he ever going to see him again?
TBC…
Just a bit of fluffy love in parts and I do realise I have used famous quotes throughout! I felt they were just appropriate for this part and made Yami sound soooo poetic! Please read & review and I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'll hopefully get the next chapter up soon, as it's practically done! Bubi! xx
