The bell rang, signaling the end of the period and the beginning of lunch.
Seto waited until everyone else left the classroom, before even packing up his laptop. With a groan, he got to his feet and left the room. Normally he would have just stayed in the room, but lately his teacher had decided to kick him out so she could use the room to make-out with the gym coach. How he found that out, he never knew. Might have had had something to do with accidentally walking in on them two weeks ago. On the bright side, he could ditch gym now and still get an A in the class in exchange for keeping quiet about it.
He headed upstairs to the roof. The only place where no one would bother him. Not that anyone ever did anyway.
As expected the roof was empty.
Thank god. If I have to deal with anyone, I'd go crazy. He thought, sitting down. He pulled out a book on advanced physic and started reading.
He became so focused on his book, he didn't even noticed the set of footsteps sneaking up behind him. The person got on his knees and placed his head almost on Seto's shoulder. "So, this is what you do during lunch?"
Seto let out a startled shriek and toppled over with shock. He whirled around, coming faced to face with a smirking Tristan Taylor.
"What the fuck are you doing you geek?" he yelled, trying to salvage his pride. Tristan's chuckle confirmed that it was broken beyond repair.
"Just thought you'd like some company."
"Well I don't. Now leave." Seto snapped.
Tristan just laughed again. It wasn't a mocking laugh, more like a charmed laugh. Like he found Seto funny. "No, I think I'm going to stay here."
"Then I'm leaving." Seto huffed, getting to his feet. He stalked to the door, but was stopped by an arm snaking around his waist and yanking him back. Suddenly he found himself sitting on Tristan's lap. He froze. "W-what are you doing?" he managed.
Tristan smiled and stroked the side of Seto's face. "You know, you're just to cute to leave alone."
Seto almost stuttered again. Did I hear that right? "Let go, now!" he demanded. Twisting in Tristan's tight grip. Tristan just smiled and turned him so Seto's back was to his chest. He then ran his fingers through Seto's brunet hair. "What if I told you that you were the most beautiful creature I've ever seen?" he whispered hotly in Seto's ear.
"Excuse me?" Seto hissed, shocked.
"I know. It sounds corny and maybe stupid, but I mean every word."
Seto blinked, this was not what he had expected. Then again, he didn't even think this was an option. This was not the Tristan Taylor that he was used to.
"I…I don't-"
"Shh, just listen. I've liked you for a while. Not like…love. You're hot." He said, moving his hand down to stroke Seto's neck. "And I want to start a relationship with you. But I know that you don't exactly like me, mostly thanks to Yugi and Joey, so I have a proposal. Since you read so much, you probably know what the term courting is. It's when a suitor tries to woo the person of their affection. By giving presents, tokens of love, simple dates, sweet intimacy. I'm suggesting that you let us enter a courting. That way you can get to know me, and we can grow closer."
Seto finally found his voice, "When did you start being so-"
"Romantic? Intelligent? I've always been, I just like to let people underestimate me. But for you I'll make an exception. Now what do you say?" Tristan was starting to nuzzle Seto's neck.
Seto was about to scream a 'no', but he stopped. He found that he was aroused by the words that were coming out of Tristan's mouth. And the hands roaming his body weren't helping.
"Alright, fine. I'll let you…court me." Seto sighed. "Now, let go."
"Heh, ever the charmer. You better get used to it baby, cause I'm gonna have a hard time keeping my hands off you."
