Alright! This is a test run! Er… not really. Gonna try to finish it anyway even if I don't have any reviewers. XD

I literally just typed this up because it's been in my head. I'll fix what I have to fix later on.

I don't own diddly squat of Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, I'd have a bunch of yaoi/shounen-ai stuff of Yami/Atem(u) and Yugi and even some episodes! Lulz.

Oh here's another note.

I love doing First POV. So Beware there will be fragments.After all, people's thoughts are not in complete sentences. :D Just give some kind pointers and feedback if you really need to express something that I should fix. I don't mind. Give me advice with a bad attitude and I'll ruin you. =D

Anyway, let's begin this fic shall we?

Never thought I would "go gay" for a guy, until "he" came along.

I was always into girls. Girls are pretty… and when they dress up, they can get prettier!

Yup, I never thought I would be gay. I thought I was a straight up hetero. I guess the future really can be unpredictable.

Back in the day, I was a naïve, scared, impulsive kid. My stupidity had led me to be friends with Joey and Tristan. They sorta toughened me up after I helped them from Ushio's wrath back then. They were always there for me when I needed to be "with the guys". We're best of friends. Hang out at the arcade, study sessions, making pranks, and we talked about Duel Monsters and girls a lot. We even got to be a little kinky with cosplay… I always pictured Tea as the Dark Magician Girl. Man, did that used to get me going!

I was really crushing on Tea at one point. She is one of my best friends and she is really pretty. She's strong, beautiful, expressive, open, and well… almost gosh darn perfect! I knew anyway that I was stuck in the "friend zone" when she met "him" too. I knew that was a lost cause.

But now we're both losing him at this very moment.

I actually won the duel against "him" and now he's leaving me and everyone.

The very person that gave me courage, strength, virtue, logic, power within myself, and confidence is now leaving me!

My mind flashes back really quickly to all the duels we went through together. All the talks that we shared, all the things we learned about everything and about each other. We had a lot of intimate conversations of our feelings, fears, and values.

He was literally another soul in me. I wouldn't call him my other half back then, but right now, I can only tell that I seriously don't want to lose him right now. I don't like the option of him leaving and that I never get to see him again. I look back at a glance and everyone is seriously letting him go. Tea is in tears, Joey and Tristan are seeing him off, Kaiba and Mokuba don't care…

I care!

He's seriously leaving… walking towards the opening that will take him home. He doesn't have to go home right? He has a physical form. He can stay now… right?

Other Me… Yami? Turn around right now. See my tearful face and turn around right now! "Yami" I whispered… he didn't hear me. "Atem?" I whispered his real name. That name rolls off my tongue just as sad as the name I've given him.

A thumbs up? You give a thumbs up and you still don't turn around! DAMN YOU!

I look back at everyone again. Nothing? Nobody is stopping him? Seriously? I thought Tea liked him too! You stop him! He's getting closer to the portal!

Do I really have to do it? I don't have the courage to ask him to stay! Come on, that's his home!

He went through! He went through the rift!

Oh my God! The doors are closing! They are now closing!

"Atem? Atem?" I reach out my hand towards the rift. I'm uselessly hoping that he'll take my hand. Without realizing it, I'm walking towards it too.

"Uh Yug? What are you doin'?" Joey sounded nervous. I paused in my steps.

"Yugi, you shouldn't do this to yourself man. He wants us to be happy and safe." Tristan tried to sound reassuring.

"He actually left, so let's not make this harder than it is okay?" Tea sounds heartbroken.

"Yugi. The Pharaoh has moved on. He is home now. Your destiny is complete." Isis… I forgot that you were there.

So that's it? I get to move on without him just like that? His existence is being ripped away from me. No one understands what that feels like! I'm the one that's getting left behind. It's not like I can pick up the phone to text or call him. He is going to live in an entirely different time period where Jesus Christ isn't even born yet!

Funny how thoughts can pretty much slow down time.

Shoot! The doors! They are almost closed!

I gotta do something. I can't just lose him like this. One minute he's with me, in my head and the next, I'm completely alone. I don't want to be completely alone after these years of having him with me, after all this time. It just CANNOT end like this. I just don't see myself with anyone else but him.

I turn one last time with tears pouring from my eyes.

"Everyone! You guys are the best friends I could ever ask for! Even you, Kaiba! Tell my Grandpa and my mom that I love them very much and that I'll miss them! Keep them company for me! I'll miss you all! I just can't have him leave me!"

I ran towards the portal. I didn't look back. If I did, I probably would have stopped running.

"Yug! Don't do this!" I hear their footsteps.

"Yugi no! What about your grandpa! Your mother?" Tea, I hope you're pretty good at breaking sad news.

"Yugi! Don't go! Not you too!" Tristan, take care of everyone for me!

I see the white light and the doors. I'm gonna make it! "Atem! You are not leaving me just like that! Not after everything we've been through! Ready or not, here I come!" I had literally made a big leap of faith right into the portal and immediately I knew the doors shut behind me completely.

"Atem. We're not over yet." I whispered into the rift. It was very colorful. Shades of blue, and purple and white… it was breathtaking. I feel so light and blissful. I feel like I can do anything. I see images flash before my eyes in this rift tunnel that I'm in. Pyramids, the millennium items, sandstorms, and events such as Atem dueling, Seth saving Kisara and her passing, and the Shadow Games. I'm going to live in his world. I'm going to be with him.

I can't believe I had more courage to do this than to ask him to stay.

I never thought of being with a man until Atem came and changed my entire world. I don't even know if he feels the way I do. Just that something inside me is bursting out "don't ever lose him." Maybe this is love… this is a really huge risk. Either he accepts me and my feelings and we can be together forever, or I'll be stuck in ancient Egypt until the end of my days alone.

My eyes started to close and I was feeling very tired, but secure.

The last thing I remember was being slowly placed faced down on something soft.

Then I lost consciousness.
