Melting a Hard Ice Mask
Disclaimer: Nope not mine.
A/N: Well behold my sucky first puppyshipping. I don't usually care for this shipping but my friend and I made a deal, I write her favorite shipping and she writes mine. Fair deal. So if you flame my work than whatever this isn't my usual style of writing nor is it my usual characters but I like very much how this story turned out.
Preface
Love and hate. They say that there's a very thin line between these two emotion. As much as I hate to admit it, I have to say I agree with them.
Seto's POV
I watched him from afar. He had so many friends. Everyone began laughing and I clenched my fists into tight balls. He wasn't even funny. He was stupid and I hated him.
Though it hadn't always been this way. So long ago...Before I was adopted by the Devil's son. Before I was locked up in a house to learn. When I was in the orphanage. Though many may never believe me, these were the happiest times of my life. He would always come to the orphanage. Almost everyday. We became fast friends.
He had this amazing idea to sell things to make an insane profit. So with the little money I had left, I would buy his things. And before I knew it, I began to develop a crush for him.Our friendship became a wonderful thing.
And soon he told me that he like this girl at the orphanage. It felt as though a spear pierced my heart. Soon after that Gozaburo came and I challenged him. So he adopted Mokuba and I . My friend and I stayed friends but it was harder to see each other because of Gozaburo's rules. But when we did I was very distant with him because I felt so uncomfortable. He became very angry with me and we fought over stupid things.
It got so out of hand that I told him that I hated him. Before I could apologize the next day, Gozaburo forbade me to leave the house and cut all of my access to the outside world.
When I entered high school, after my stupid stepfather committed suicide over such a stupid reason, he was at the same school. It felt weird seeing him. But he pretended like he didn't know me. Like the past never was. He tried being friendly to me a little later on, but I just insulted him. And soon we hated each other all over again. But I could see he tried to be my friend. But I would not allow it. I could not allow myself to fall for it again. To fall in love with him just to get my heart crushed again.
So if I hated him so much...why did my heart skip a beat when I saw him? Why did if eel like my heart had leaped up into my throat?
When he would smile at me in the hallway, or stared at me all through class, I couldn't help but think he felt something too. I let the child within me fantasize about him. Even if I knew they would never come true.
But...they did. For our Senior Prom he came to me. Asking me to forgive him. And I thought about it. I needed a friend again, and so I said yes. But then he did something unexpected. He asked me to be his boyfriend, to take me to the prom. Despite what his friends said, despite what everyone else thought. To hell with them.
Well it looked like he melted that mask of mine that I worked so hard to create to hide my pain. I had no misery left in my life. Heh, it looks like Jonouchi's idea to get rich didn't work out too well and I was now the rich one...Hmmm I wonder how he feels about that. :)
