Author's Notes
Geez, I am *so* nervous, writing this fic. My first Joey/Seto one. Why the hell am I writing this, even while I'm so nervous? Well, I aim to get four more stories done before I go to Las Vegas on the 25th. I want to leave knowing that I've written ten stories. Everyone's right. I'm crazy. *sprays a new can of Instant-Disclaimer-And-Warning-Muse-In-A-Can*
Harpie Lady-*pops up* Chibi doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, the song, 'If You're Not The One', but owns her spray can thing that will be known as 'IDAWMIAC', Idawmiac. Pronounced just like it looks. There'll be YAOI, Seto/Joey, deal wit' it!
--; The POV will be switching from Joey to Seto, switching after the song lyrics. And on the song lyrics, where it originally said 'wife', I took artistic license. Onto the ficcie! *blows a trumpet*

If You're Not The One
Our favorite puppy was walking along the street, weirded out by the dream he had had last night. It was early morning, 5am, so he was pretty much alone, except for a bird every now and then.
'Dat dream *had* to be wrong. Me? Love KAIBA?! Dis is da guy dat makes fun of me every chance he gets! It's crazy!' Joey thought to himself, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
~*~If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?~*~
Meanwhile, there was a lonely soul walking, much like Joey, feeling much the same way.
'I've never paid attention to my dreams before, so why now? Why would I be in love with that mutt? The only love I've ever felt before was for Mokuba, but he's my brother! Why would I ever feel anything for that puppy dog?' Seto thought to himself, arms crossed in front of his chest.
~*~If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all~*~
Joey paid some money to a cashier at a coffee stand, walking away with the warm cup. He held it in both hands, its heat a comfort.
'I just need to get out more, get a bo-girlfriend. Yeah, get a girlfriend. Hang out wit' Serenity more. Get my life back ta normal,' Joey thought frantically. It's very true, denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
~*~I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now~*~
A few minutes later, Seto stepped into the same coffee shop. He ordered a latte, and sat down on one of the stools there.
'All this dream probably means is that I'm working too hard. Mokuba was right. I just need a vacation. Somewhere far, far away from that dog. I heard that Canada was nice this time of year,' Seto thought in his mind, already planning on flying straight to Canada the next day and staying for a month.
~*~We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with~*~
After throwing his empty cup in the trash, Joey walked back to his place. Maybe he could catch a few more hours of sleep before school.
He got into bed, and tried to fall asleep. But after having a cup of coffee, it was not meant to be. He wouldn't start feeling tired for a couple more hours, when the coffee wore off.
~*~I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?~*~
Of course, Joey wasn't the only one who wasn't thinking straight that morning. Seto had gotten the same idea and was now turning over and over, restlessly.
'I was an idiot to drink coffee this early in the morning!' Seto scolded himself mentally.
~*~If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?~*~
An hour later, Joey finally gave up on the idea of sleep. He got back out of bed, heading for the shower to get ready for school.
He really didn't enjoy the hot water, not totally caring about anything. He just kept hearing this one name in his head, driving him nuts.
'Seto...'
~*~If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you in my life?~*~
Seto had a little bit better luck, and fell asleep for a short while. Of course, he woke up in a cold sweat, breathing hard. He then preceded to fall back on his bed, staring up at the ceiling with wide eyes.
In his dream, he had been holding Joey, petting his hair. But the part that scared him a lot, was that at the end of the dream, before he woke up, he kissed that mutt.
And he wasn't so sure that he was sorry about it.
~*~I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through~*~
Joey pulled on his school jacket, looking tired, scared, and hungry, all at once. But it wasn't the normal type of hunger for Joey.
Oh no, it was something that I think everyone feels one time or another. The longing for another. Sometimes you don't know who it is, but at other times, you know exactly who it is. And it might just scare you to death.
He longed for the touch of one other, longed to feel those strong arms around him, longed to be loved.
~*~And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life~*~
Joey wasn't alone in his pain, his longing. Seto was feeling pretty much the same way. He wanted to be able to hold someone, to love someone and have them feel the same way.
He wanted to call someone his, and know that it was true. To know that they wouldn't leave him, broken-hearted and lonely once more.
He wanted to have someone who understood him, a friend, a partner, a lover. One to stay with him, for life.
~*~I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?~*~
While Seto was pondering this, Joey was still swimming in a river. I know all of you know which one I'm talking about.
Joey didn't want to believe that he could love his known enemy. The mocker of him. But somehow, he knew that he did.
As much as he tried to deny it, he knew that he, Joey Wheeler, was in love with Seto Kaiba.
'Damn...'
~*~'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today~*~
Unlike Joey, who had taken so damn long to realize that he truly was in love, Seto had realized, and accepted it. He knew he loved, and desperately needed, Joey.
And he wasn't going to be afraid to admit it. He was one tough dude and wasn't about to let feelings scare him.
Joey would definitely know how he felt about him. And Seto wouldn't give up until he got what he wanted.
~*~'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side~*~
While Seto was planning on winning him over, Joey was trying his hardest to ignore his feelings.
'Dey can just kiss my ass,' Joey mumbled to himself in his mind.
And so he continued his walk to school, but before he got there, he'd have to confront everything he was against at the moment...
~*~I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I~*~
To Be Continued...
MWUAHAHA! I'M EVIL! Heh heh, I ran out of song lyrics. ^^; So, I'll be continuing this story just as soon as I decide whether to find a new song and write the next chapter, or just write the next chapter without lyrics. Tell me what you want when you send me a review! *hinthint*
