The Lost Christmas Eve

by Ariao

My first attempt at a Song-fic. I tried to keep the characters as close as possible, but let's face it, it's nearly impossible to do in a Song-fic, so don't flame. Yugi is alone on Christmas Eve, but of course, no one deserves to be alone during this special holiday. If only a certain white-headed male would understand that, everything would be perfect...

Yugi nearly paused when he realized the street lights were out, even on the more travelled sidewalks. Yami and Atem noticed and looked at him, puzzled. Giving his head a shake, Yugi smiled and easily continued on. For a while, no one spoke, even Bakura was keeping silent for the time being. It was Malik that broke the silence when they were about halfway to Yugi's place.

"With all those childhood dreams that are bound to be out and about this night, I wonder what really happens to them…even the ones that don't get granted."

"I can answer that." Yami said, smirking lightly at Yugi. The young duelist knew what that smirk meant. Yami knew of the group where his song had come from…and now he intended to make a game of it. Taking a few steps forward, he turned, bringing them to a halt for the moment as he began, his violet eyes glowing as he looked at Bakura.

SOMEWHERE BEYOND WHERE THE LIGHT RARELY GOES

SOMEWHERE BEYOND WHERE THE DARK BARELY BREATHES

SOMEWHERE THIS NIGHT WHERE THE DARK ONLY KNOWS

HE AWAITS EVER PATIENT

HE AWAITS RARELY SEEN

BUT HIS MOMENTS ARE TAKEN

FOR IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT

GATHERING LIGHT

CHRISTMAS DREAMS

I WANT TO WRAP ALL MY MOMENTS AROUND HIM

I WANT TO WATCH AS HE GLITTERS THE NIGHT

FLOATS HIS DREAMS IN THE AIR

PEOPLE WATCH, CHILDREN STARE

AT THESE TEARS OF CAPTURED LIGHT

WHILE HE AWAITS EVER PATIENT

HE AWAITS RARELY SEEN

STILL HIS MOMENTS ARE TAKEN

FOR IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT

GATHERING LIGHT

CHRISTMAS DREAMS

AND A TEAR FALLS UPON HIS SNOW-WHITE HAIR

AND IT RUNS TO THE END WHERE IT LINGERS THERE

THEN IT FALLS THROUGH THE AIR OF A WINTER'S SKY

TILL IT CAPTURES A DREAM AND IT'S CRYSTALIZED

LET IT GO!

LET IT GO!

THIS OLD WORLD THAT I KNOW

FOR SOON EVERYTHING WILL BE CHANGING

IN A SINGLE GLANCE

WHERE IT ALL ENCHANTS

AND EVERY HOPE IS WORTH SAVING

AND A TEAR FALLS UPON HIS SNOW-WHITE HAIR

AND IT RUNS TO THE END WHERE IT LINGERS THERE

THEN IT FALLS THROUGH THE AIR OF A WINTER'S SKY

TILL IT CAPTURES A DREAM AND IT'S CRYSTALIZED

LET IT GO!

LET IT GO!

THIS OLD WORLD THAT I KNOW

FOR SOON EVERYTHING WILL BE CHANGING

IN A SINGLE GLANCE

WHERE IT ALL ENCHANTS

AND EVERY HOPE

EVERY HOPE

EVERY HOPE IS WORTH SAVING

By the end of the song, the former tomb-robber was bristling and Atem was having a hard time controlling his laughter. Yugi just sighed and face-palmed before forcing the group to continue moving. Better to get home soon so that all the tension didn't destroy his friends on this night.
