An elephant for you

Yami and Yugi became a couple after their declaration of love and usually they understand each other without many words. They do a lot together and for their one-year anniversary they are traveling ...

I see both of you, you are too heavy
for my arms
but,
i won't give you
I know your monsters are just like mine
and it's better not to be alone with them
~ * ~

Panting, I drag myself through the desert sand, your load on my shoulders doesn't necessarily make it easier, soon I will no longer be able to hold you, I know that. And yet, I wouldn't leave you behind, my koibito. If I leave you alone, I know you will succumb to your illness, will succumb to your darkness despite the hot suns. You and I, we are connected to the monsters of the shadow realm, only together we can fight them, alone with them ... no chance.

and i know i know
I know and don't ask
hold on to meget on, I'll carry you

I know we don't stand a chance. We came here for a leisurely vacation. Our first together, I still remember how great your joy was to see your old home again. The hotel was wonderful, the water in the pool so crystal clear, the pyramids so incredible and huge. Today we wanted to go on a trip through the desert with our tour group. In a big jeep we wanted to drive to an oasis, to explore the life there, on such a green island in the middle of the desert. We wanted to stay there over lunchtime and then drive back to the hotel, because you promised me a surprise for the evening. I was really nervous about it. We did this despite a deep cut on your leg that you sustained while viewing a pyramid. I told you that if it got infected we'd have to go to a hospital quickly, I was worried about you. But you said it wasn't that bad and didn't want to combine it, we didn't have time for it, you said, because the tour group didn't wait long, we had announced us quite late.The desert was so wide, the supposed freedom so incredible and yet death so close ... you could even see it, it came in the form of a sandstorm that surprised us halfway. I felt like under a sandblaster and in the furnace at the same time, I was so terrified. The car threatened to sink into the soft sand, so the driver kept the engine running all the time to prevent it from sinking completely through the movement of the wheel. The storm lasted almost two hours, but it felt like an eternity. Almost at the same time as the wild dance of the sand, the engine ran out of breath, no more gasoline. We were all sweaty and the song stuck to our wet bodies. Our dry throats were in stark contrast to this. There was still a little water for everyone, but that was hardly enough to quench their thirst. We couldn't stay here either, the jeep is definitely no longer driving.
We decided to go out in groups of two or three to look for an oasis and find salvation for the others.It was pure suicide, but staying there was just the same. I already noticed how you were limping, I also knew about your cut. You were much slower and I saw your effort, which was written on your face. Soon I supported you so that you could keep walking, we did not think that the condition would worsen so quickly. We exchanged a dry kiss for encouragement, our rough tongues rubbing against each other like sandpaper. How painfully I realized that we had no water.
More and more often we have to stop so that your breath does not leave completely and I also noticed how the heat rose to my head and burned my limbs. There was no shadow here, like in your heart, I almost wanted to go there. You smiled at me, wanted to give me strength and yet read me even more desperately. Finally you broke down and I saw, now I had to be the strong one, as your smile had already wanted to tell me.And I don't mean to disappoint you. And I took you on my shoulder, staggered briefly, because the unfamiliar burden made me dizzy. I would hold you like you always did with me, be your support. But the next few hours would be the hardest of my life for me. If only I were such a big animal, such a gray pachyderm, then I could carry you calmly and calmly wherever you wanted and had to go.

I'm going to be huge for you
An elephant for you
I'll carry you miles across the country
And me
Carry you as far as I can
I'll carry you as far as I can
At the end of the road if I have to
I carry you
I'll carry you across the river
~ * ~

The river, water. now I have to think about it, of course in the middle of the desert. You told me that the ancient Egyptians believed in a life after death in the kingdom of Osiris. They would get there in a barge-like ship, across a large river, the name of which my brain cannot grasp in the shimmering heat, and enter their new life through a gate without worries.But only after the difficult examination of the mate. I am sure you would pass it. But I don't like to think about your death, and yet, if I had to, I would carry you there, to the end of the world, to this river, until death breathes its kiss on you ... probably the only one that didn't come from me.

One who shouldn't
Crying on the phone
and one who didn't want to
cries and already knows

"That can't be true! You have to find her. Send a helicopter or something!" I shout into the phone. I'm in a panic, I'll admit it. My two best friends are stuck in the desert, somewhere in the yellowish expanse without a drop of water, I guess. And with which travel company did the whole thing? Kaibas of course !!!! One day I forget myself, then the arrogant ass has struck the last hour.
"I'm sorry, mutt, there is nothing I can do. I currently have no helicopters available to Egypt myself, it would take days to fly there.All emergency services are already on the lookout. And that with the little gasoline that is currently available in this Lang, so don't complain "he's sorry, he's sorry, I'm also sorry that this ... my anger can't hold it either, my desperate tears. Tea next to me is already crying. Although she had vowed not to shed tears, she has never forgiven Yami for rejecting her. She already knew it, I'm sure. She phoned Mai, she is Journalist, can assess something like that. Unfortunately, the good Tea did not manage to explain everything to me coherently because she was so screamed. I rub my eyes angrily, Kaiba can see me through the damn videophone. And I him, he looks self-tormenting, but I can't be surprised at the moment.
"Puppy, please calm down! I'm REALLY doing my best, believe me. At least be angry, you're making me nervous!"Oh Yugi, Yami, I'm so worried. Please dear God !!!!!

your legs don't carry you like they should
too often go those who have not yet wanted to go

and i know i know
and I cannot take it.
Hold on to me
get on, I'll carry you
~ * ~

I know it's coming to an end. Again and again I fall, knowing that I can hardly hold myself. You tried to walk alone a few times, but you couldn't. I know that soon you will leave if no help comes, all by yourself and all by yourself. Without me. Or maybe with me? Somehow I know we won't get out of here together anymore, but I don't want it to be true. I know. That I can't cross the river with you, not yet. You wanted to, shouldn't go yet. Oh what am I talking about here? I blink my tears away angrily. We can do it. I won't leave you alone. But my knees sag again. I can’t lift you on my shoulders anymore.So I crawl exhausted through the sand with your passed out body. Water, I really need water! YOU absolutely need water. sweating is such an incredible waste, and that's why I'm not allowed to cry. I need the water in my body to save you and me.
Bit by bit I crawl forward, I know, pull you after.

I'm going to be huge for you

I'll carry you as far as I can
At the end of the road if I have to
I carry you

I need a break. Another one, just a little one, I have to move on soon. I hide my hot face in my arms. My bruised knees are on fire. My body seems to be tearing apart. Suddenly I feel your hand on mine. You have a fever I know How fast can a person die? I'm looking at you. You opened your eyes, very wide, it looks scary.Your lips are chapped and torn, dry blood sticks to them, the sap of life. And yet you smile. Try. Try to speak until you can. Miserably.
"Y ... yu-gi! I beg you. If I die now ..."
"NO!", I know I shouldn't interrupt him when he's talking. It's not that often. I know it's coming to an end I do not want that. Otherwise he would not have bothered.
"Let ... speak to me. If I ... die now, then you have to go on living. DO YOU HEAR !?" He speaks really loud in a scratchy voice and has to cough. "Yu ... -chan I ... love you more than anything. Always. Do you know that?" I nod, moved. I come to tears. I thought I didn't have any more, I feel so dehydrated. Accordingly, our last kiss is quite salty.
"Then ... I'm going now." His voice is almost drowned in an approaching, growling noise. A jeep !!!! Yami has closed her eyes. He ... that doesn't work !!!
"Yami no, since they are coming they will save us please open your eyes please come they are really coming !!", I laugh desperately. Yami has closed his eyes peacefully and smiles.
"NO Yami no please open your eyes a little more! Since they have water, they take us with PLEASE YAMI OPEN YOUR EYES !!!" the jeep stops next to us ... me.
"Hey! One of them is still alive, get some water!" Shouts a man. They want to put me in the jeep with some of the others, but I fight back violently.
"I don't go without, no way!" the man rolls his eyes in exasperation. He sweats like a pig. Another appears next to him. I recognize Roland in him.
"He's been dead long ago," the man grumbles and before I can say anything else he holds the water bottle to my mouth.
