Or just "I own nothing Yu-Gi-Oh!
A boy with tri-colored hair walked alone through the park. It was night, around eleven o'clock, but the boy wasn't worried about the time. All he could think about was his past boyfriend, Yugi. This is where they had first met, three years ago. The boy, his name Yami, sighed. This was also the place where Yami had first asked Yugi to be his boyfriend. But all of that was in the past, about a year ago, Yami broke up with Yugi. Snow steadily fell from the sky, coating the ground in a light, white sheet of frost. Yami looked around; remembering that this was also where he had broke up with Yugi.
~Flashback~
Yugi raced through the snow and over to where Yami was sitting beneath a large oak tree. Yami barely looked up as Yugi sat down next to him.
"You wanted to see me?" Yugi asked cheerfully. I wonder why, Yugi thought, this place is too cold to be out here for long! I wonder where we'll be going . . .
"Yugi," Yami said in a deathly cold voice, not because it was cold out though, "I wanted to talk to you for a moment. I-it isn't working out between us. I-I don't think that we should be together anymore."
Yugi stared at Yami, as if he didn't know who Yami was. Tears began running down Yugi's face as Yami got up and started walking away.
"Goodbye," was the last thing that Yami said to Yugi as he left.
~End Flashback~
"Man, how could I be so stupid?" Yami shouted at himself, clenching his fists and slamming them against the tree he was sitting by. "Oh, Yugi, why was I so stupid?"
Suddenly, as if by magic, music started to play. Yami recognized the song, Back to December by Taylor Swift.
As Yami listened to the words of the song, it began to seem to match his life. He began to think of Yugi, his twin brother Heba and Yugi's grandpa. Just like the song said, he hadn't seen them since before he broke up with Yugi. Oh, why had he made such a mistake like that?
As the song went on, Yami started remembering his last date with Yugi, when Yugi had given him a bouquet of roses, golden, red and black. But that made Yami think of what he had done after Yugi had to leave to go home, Yami remembered that he had dropped the flowers, those beautiful flowers, into a puddle and left them there. That was the first time that Yami had ever doubted his love for Yugi, though he had never told him that. The first time he decided to doubt the best thing in the world.
The song continued, but the words seemed to drown out a little with Yami lost in his thoughts. He softly began to sing along with the song as it brought more memories...
Yami thought back to when he had first met Yugi. He remembered the feelings that he had felt for the shy little boy. Yami sighed. What have I done? Why did I leave Yugi? Yami stood up and started walking over to the pond that was in the middle of the park. It was covered in a thin sheet of ice.
Yami remembered when he had taught Yugi how to ice skate. The pond was frozen much more than it was now, but Yami could almost see himself and Yugi on the ice, Yugi was clutching his hand, nervously looking around as they skated. Yami watched in his vision as Yugi slipped and he helped Yugi back up. Yugi's face was glowing with love, and Yami saw himself smiling. What did I do?
Thinking of Yugi now just brought back old pain, since he always regretted leaving the other behind. They had been meant for one another, yet he was too blind to see it until it was too late, until Yugi was gone.
Yami stared up at the sky. It was pitch black. Without even realizing it, he started singing along with the song. Yami's thoughts flooded back to Yugi's sixteenth birthday, when Yami had ignored his boyfriend, not even calling him to tell him to have a happy birthday. Yami imagined the summer, when they would watch the sunset together and then count the stars. Yami remembered the first time that he had ever seen Yugi laugh. He remembered how he knew at the time that he had loved Yugi, with all of his heart.
The song once again talked of the 'cold days' that destroied the love between the two lovers, the 'cold days' that tore them apart with simple dount. This part of the song made Yami cringe. He knew that it was right. He had dumped Yugi when the cold came, in the winter. Why did I ever doubt us? Would we still be together if I hadn't made that terrible mistake? Yami felt himself remembering all of the times that Yugi had told him "I love you." And that made Yami think of the last thing that he had said to Yugi, "goodbye."
As the song went on, Yami winced. He wanted too much to go back to Yugi and tell him how much he was wrong. Little did Yami know, but Yugi was listening to Yami's song. He was sitting on the other side of the pond.
Yami felt a tear on his face. He continued his song; his heart was breaking in half. Is this how you felt, Yugi, why I dumped you? I'm so sorry! If I could have you back with me, here and now, I'd never hurt you again! I promise...
Yami cried his heart out as he sang his song. He missed Yugi so much. Yugi watched his from the other side of the pond. He knows how I feel, Yugi thought. Yami cried, he couldn't help but think about the first time Yugi had ever seen him cry, and how Yugi had stuck by his side until Yami felt better. Trying to be strong, Yami wiped his tears away, his eyes turning to the sky. It was so dark out, with only the glowing moon lighting his path. A path he never should've taken, had he known it would lead him away from the one he loved most.
Yami felt himself wishing for Yugi back. But he knew that Yugi would never want to take him back... never. He felt as if he loved him again. But he won't want me back. Not after what I did to him, I broke his sweet little heart. Yugi, I'm sorry.
Yami finished his song quietly, sighing with sorrow. Yugi crept around the side of the pond, but Yami didn't notice him. Instead, Yami collapsed onto the ground, unable to hold back the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes.
"Yugi," he murmured. "I still love you. And-and I'm so sorry that I didn't see it before. Can you ever forgive me?"
Yugi came out of his hiding spot. "Yami," he whispered. "I will always forgive you. I'll need some time, but I will forgive you."
When Yami heard Yugi, he looked up. "Yugi," he whispered. "Did you hear? How could you forgive me?"
"I always can, Yami," Yugi replied. "I love you."
Was that a happy ending? If you know the song well enough, you will have noticed that I changed one word. What word was it and what did I change it to? This is the first of many one shots, so find this again sometime, there will hopefully be more! Review please! XD
Okay, all edited, and I hope it's still as good as the first one!
