"Keep," a Yu-Gi-Oh Oneshot. Angst/Romance - PG13 - S/A

She made a promise to someone years and years ago, but even now, she works hard to stay true to her word. When someone unexpectedly finds out the reason for her sadness, she just might be able to make good on her word sooner than she would have expected...

( Keep. )

Comment/Review. :)

I did extensive edits for this just so it would show up properly in LiveJournal... stupid "insta-formatting." I also did a great deal of research (for a oneshot, at any rate) on everything from the weather in New York to the ferry prices, the dock locations, and the hotel rooms (which are based off the Westin Times Square and their delicious Heavenly Beds).

Macho, macho man...

Being macho will not excuse you from psychological diseases. Sorry.

I've come to a few conclusions.
(1) Excessive sleeping is, in fact, bad for you. So is reading Harry Potter before bed. I kept thinking my bed was going to cave in on me and put me into Azkaban or something. I dreamed I saw a dead dog (a black lab) on my sidewalk in front of my house. o_O Sirius overtones, maybe?

(2) It is none of my business whatever might be wrong with certain somebodies, no matter how much other certain somebodies TM me. Ignorance is bliss, and I don't wish to court trouble or heartache by proceeding. Besides, the skeptic in me doubts that it's anything major anyway; I'm really not that good friends with Certain Person A, so I don't know why Certain Person B would care.

(3) Once you start reading Harry Potter, it's pretty difficult to stop. I "accidentally" read over 300 pages today when I got bored.

(4) The human body sucks. I'm currently very hungry, but unable to eat anything (even a stinkin' banana) because I feel like retching every time I swallow something. And once something *is* in my stomach, it hurts. A lot. I hate this feeling-- especially mixed with the dizziness and blotchy vision spells I get every now and then. You'd think sleep might be a good answer, but I've had a bit too much of that lately, and not enough food.

Uhm... today, I didn't go to Summerthing. I totally intended to, got dressed and everything, but then Harry called and said he would stop by with my strategy guide. Since seeing him off before he goes to Iraq (tomorrow) was more important, I just skipped the Alice concert and waited for him. He finally came, and luck was with me-- he decided to stay for a while and school me in Kingdom Hearts. He helped me get through Wonderland, but he had to leave after that; he actually didn't seem to mind me hugging him (though it wasn't "goodbye" it was "see you later"). I gave him my mailing addy and told him to stay safe and in one piece; I only hope he heeds those words. But he's a smart guy, and he told me he has no intention of dying out there. And I'm going to believe him. :)

I got as far as Hercules facing Cerebrus before calling it quits; I read Harry Potter up until an hour ago or so, and now, here I am, feeling sick as all hell and not knowing what to do about it. I certainly don't want to feel like retching while I'm in bed! And I'm hungry, but I can't eat. I really, really don't like this.

And for some reason, I'm on the verge of tears too, if only because not eating is already a horrible prospect. For the love of god, I'm back into double digits for my weight! I'm supposed to be like, 104 lbs. or something-- and that's a healthy weight for someone of my height! I hate this. I hate it.

I want to be awake and feeling well and happy and writing my fics. But instead I feel like crap. What should I do? Blah.

Fuck it.

Great. I just threw up.

My limbs feel all weak, and for some bizarre reason, whenever I throw up, I start crying.

So yay.
