Summary: He simply wanted to be first.
Author's Note: This is an idea I had, thinking about how Jou never end up first, even how hard he's trying too.
----------------------------------------------------- . ---------------------------------------------
He never had been a first at anything.
He wasn't smart enough to be first in class, fast enough for races and not strong enough in his PE class.
But he lived with it.
Being second, third or fourth never really meant to him a lots, his father wouldn't be congratulating him anyway, sober or drunk. His friends would still likes him and tell him "how good he did" and "better luck next time". Not that he cared.
He tried once really hard to be first, not for him but for his sister, and managed again fourth place. Out of pity, he felt, his best friend gave him the great prizes for his sibling.
It was the first time he felt the need to be first at something, that now, third place wasn't enough anymore. He knew at that moment he would never be content with third or fourth, not even second.
So he tried hard, he really did. He studied more, practised more, even read those damn books about strategy to get thought duelling.
But when he saw that those first places were already taken, he changed his plan.
He tried something else. With his Dragon, he thought he would be at least is first named enemy, he insulted him, fight with him, even prank him! But that place was again taken by his best friend or best friend's darker self.
Later, he became his dragon's mate. At this instant, he felt like he was the first, the first in his dragon's heart as it was for his. Only, he learned later he was only third, behind a sibling and a company.
So he tried other sort of first, for example first kiss.
It was given to a little girl he liked back in the orphanage.
He tried being is first time, thinking maybe he never did, like himself.
No, he has give it, both way, to his first boyfriend and love.
He learned again he wasn't a First. In the beginning, he tried not to care. He was happy, loved and his mate took cared of anything he would want, but he never care asking. He didn't want anything, he only needed to be first at something, anything.
Only, after a while his desired, need to be first started to affect his comportment. He became moody; sometime he would be caught day-dreaming or sighting, other he would be irritate and even means to his friends.
They wouldn't understand, they couldn't understand. They were fame, they were first, and they were what he needed to be.
And lately the bad temper he had started to worried our favourite master of dragon. What the hell was wrong with his puppy? His usual carefree and jovial boyfriend would be found sulking in a guest room, and lately less in THEIR bed.
Not that he wanted his puppy in their bed all the time, no he would never admit it, but most of the time would be a good beginning. Sadly, if his lover wasn't in their bed, he couldn't really call him his lover.
So tonight he would know what was wrong with him.
