[fic] Theme 070 "Heartbeat", for 100_wangsts {遊☆戯☆王: Yami/Yuugi; PG}
Wow, almost the end of January; time sure passes quickly. o_o Surprisingly, I hadn’t even planned this, but today’s Jounouchi’s birthday!
When February starts, Kaoru will be a very dead person, because it’s just test, assignment, test, test, test, until the end of the second week.
I absolutely cannot wait until Reading Week.
Written for 100_wangsts. This is theme 070.
Genre: General/Romance
Rating: PG
Pairings: Yami/Yuugi
Story Type: Drabble/one-shot
Summary: There are many things I would do for you in a heartbeat. There are also those that I wouldn’t...and couldn’t.
Disclaimer: (swings a pocket watch in front of lawyers’ eyes) You are now under a very deep spell. After I say “Yuugiou belongs to me instead of Kazuki Takahashi”, you will wake and believe it. (says it) ...dammit, why are they still coming after me?
Spoilers: A bit about the ending, but seriously, who doesn’t know how it ends already?
Warnings: Uh, sap and angst mixed into one? Don’t worry, they’re not in lethal dosages or anything.
-----
Comfort and reassurance, hugs and kisses, laughter and contentment - I would comply in a heartbeat.
Fear and anxiety, silence and separation, grief and heartache - I would end it for you in a heartbeat.
I would walk to the end of earth to find you.
I would wait until the end of time, until you are ready.
But to stop loving you, I would not be able to, because to do so would be suffocating myself and cutting off air to my lungs on purpose. It would be the slowest form of self-destruction, because you, my other half of my soul, are the reason why I am still here-why I am still living each day so happily. With you by my side problems are not problems. Lies are not lies. Seconds, minutes, hours - time does not stop and each day is too short before the next dawn.
But I must.
It is the only way, and no, no, no, please, please, please, I cannot bear to see the disappointment and sadness and reproach and utter devastation in your eyes. No, never close your eyes, never shut them in defeat, please-
I love you, I really do!
But I cannot, for reasons you know deep inside yet you do not wish to acknowledge.
You know; you do.
We both know; we both do.
Then why do we fall deeper and deeper, every day and every night, into this spiral and never-ending cycle in your soul room?
If there is a choice, I would die for you, take your place on the threshold at the Door.
In a heartbeat.
