Time for some Puppy love :D I feel like writing some DM since yet another person dissappointed me in Arc-V... *sigh*
No Regrets
"Jou-kun." the blonde looked up when he heard his best friend's words.
Mutou Yugi was a tiny boy, somehow having grown even tinner after the events of Atem, his other half, leaving despite growing mentally stronger and more courageous (and, much to Kaiba's displeasure, keeping his title as the King of Duelists), he still always had a down-cast expression when one of their classmates wondered where his puzzle went to. That would usually lead to him and their other friend, Honda, busting some knuckles and causing whatever person to ask that time to leave. Yugi himself didn't mind the questions much but his behaviour had worried Anzu, who pretty much ordered the blonde and brunette to keep an eye on the other teen. That was another thing too. Anzu hadn't begun dating Yugi after Atem left. As a matter of fact, she was now dating someone who was their senpai, simply because she didn't want to hurt Yugi in any shape or form. Jou could respect that.
"What is it, Yugi?" he asked after a moment of thought.
"I noticed that you and Kaiba-kun seem to be growing closer..."
"Huh?" the blonde blushed at once and shook his head so fast that he thought that he must have cracked his spine. "What are you talking about? Of course not, I still hate his guts and he hates mine!"
"You know that's not true, Jou." Yugi frowned, that strange courage he had acquired showing itself. "You should at least give it a try. Before it's too late..."
The blonde looked at his friend in pity as he stopped talking and turned to leave.
"I need to go and help Honda-kun with his math homework since Anzu and I are heading out to newest arcade later on. See you, Jou-kun."
Jou didn't miss the silent 'remember my words' like he would have before their big adventure, before Atem. He simply couldn't. So when the young CEO walked in some minutes later, he got up and smiled.
"Hey, Kaiba, want to go out for a walk?"
K, it turned out to be more sad past Puzzle/Blindshipping and Yugi and Jou friendship and a lot of awkwardness from the blonde but hey, its the thought that counts, right? :)
