YOUR P.O.V.

Everyday I put on a fake smile for my friends; dueling just temporarily filled the aching hole in my heart, which was pierced by an ex-friend of mine a long time ago. Why I trusted someone as pathetic as them was still unclear to me, but it cannot hide the fact that I am facing an internal battle with myself. Yugi has caught on to my strange behaviour as of late, and so has the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle (which only complicates things further). I don't need any other distractions in my life; yesterday Yugi confronted me about my mood seeming off, and then the spirit of the Puzzle known as 'Yami' questioned me as well. What is going on here? They can't care about me can they?
No.
Of course not!
They are just using me and pretending to care, and I know it!
Now if only I could understand what this sudden 'caring about me' thing is all about then maybe-

"MISS (Y/L/N)! Did you just hear a word of what I just said?" the teacher practically screamed at me.

Oh right I'm in class...
I must have let my thoughts take me to a better place.

"Yes actually, you were talking about how a bunch of letters replace numbers around that stupid looking triangle there", I explained rather bluntly (which earned me a few laughs around the classroom, and a raised eyebrow from Yugi).

"Don't try to be funny, or it's a detention next time! Right class is dismissed for the day", my teacher finally addressed. 

After she said that, I was practically out the doors and running towards home in three seconds flat; but not without stopping half-way for Yugi. He was one of my childhood friends, and I was thoroughly acquainted with Yami as well; both of them seem to care about me, but like I said 'they can't care because its all just an act to get you right where they want you.' I sighed a little, and put on my fake smile, just like I usually did to stop people caring about me. But Yugi and Yami were both different. They see straight through me. My eyes give away everything; no matter how much I smile, I am still not masking my true emotions well enough. I was prepared to face Yugi, but the person standing in front of me was most definitely NOT Yugi. I gulped as I looked up a little. 

Oh crap. I'm doomed.

It was Yami.

His ancient, violet eyes stared straight into my soul, and his lips were curved down into a rather worried frown. No words needed to be spoken between us. We were having a silent conversation with our eyes. Seeing him like this should have made me worried. SHOULD HAVE. However, I am not letting my emotions spill out like a terrifying and untamed ocean. After a while though, I gained the courage to look at him again. I looked at him straight in the eyes, but something was...off. Are those...tears? Is Yami actually CRYING?

...
I stood there in shock. I couldn't form any words, as the Ancient Spirit wept quietly while he looked at me with such worry, care...and was that...love? In his eyes. He wished to know what ailed me. After a bit, he suddenly yelled in a tone which made me flinch; "WHY DO YOU INSIST ON TORMENTING YOURSELF LIKE THIS (Y/N)?!", and he shortly after stared at me again, as if searching for the answer within my eyes. He then sighed and regained his previous restraint, as if apologising for yelling at me. "Why?" he finally whispered softly, while stroking my hair delicately as if I would break. 

That was it for me.
I finally gave in to all my pent-up emotions.

I gripped onto Yami's jacket and sobbed violently into his clothed chest, as Yami still stood there in shock; everything came pouring out in the salty waves that were streaming down my cheeks. After a while though, two arms were wrapped securely around my waist as Yami hushed out sweet nothings, and soothing words into my ears. He kissed my cheeks, my forehead, and my nose as well; I cried for one and a half hours before I finally died down into silent sobs and sniffles. Yami pulled away to look at me, and smiled. I mean SMILED. A true smile, not a smirk or one of those small smiles that he usually gives Yugi. It was BEAUTIFUL and it was all for me. Yami then stated with complete and utter tenderness and care in his voice; "My queen, I never want to see your tears. Every time you cry, my world collapses and the sturdy foundation that once was, is no more. Please stay with me, by my side forever. Return my love, and no harm shall ever befall you." 

My eyes filled with tears again, but they were happy tears.
I hugged Yami tightly and kissed his cheek; this is what I want now, I want to love someone and cherish them forever, and Yami can give me just that. I quietly whispered; "Yes, forever" into his ear, and Yami almost instantly brightened up.

But what he did next surprised me the most.

He kissed me.
YAMI kissed me.

Smiling, I returned the passionate kiss and embrace, which felt like it lasted forever. It was then that I knew that there is no point in dwelling in the past, but looking to the future and only worrying about what is happening now is what I should have been doing from the start. 

And Yami helped me realise that.
