Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh! isn't mine. Yeah, that's everything. I do possess the plot and claim it as my own.

Notes: I saw a single clip of a single video and was smacked with inspiration.

Jou laid down sometime around midnight, curled up under his summer blanket, and fell asleep soon after and began the dream.

The dream came around every night, and every night the result was the same, Jou woke up screaming with tears streaming down his face.

It was a nice, beautiful night.

The moon was a wide, silver disk in the sky, full as ever. But it was outshone by the pastel rainbow sunset that lit the sky.

Jou slipped his sandals off and sat at the edge of the boat, dangling his legs over the end of the boat. The slight breeze touched at his hair gently, pushing the golden mop into his eyes. He pushed it back with the hand not clinging to his shoes.

He went and grabbed a light dinner and stood again at the back of the boat, leaning against the rail and holding onto the plastic container that held his salad. He left again to toss out the container and then pressed his back to the rail and leaned over it backwards a ways, smiling up at the stars just winking into visibility.

He heard, rather than saw, someone approach him.

"Hey Jou," said Yugi's voice.

The blond returned to a normal standing position and grinned at his friend, whose shoulder was claimed by Yami's arm.

"Hey."

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to look at the sky and get some quiet."

"Oh, alright, but if something's wrong…"

"I promise I'll tell you."

"Good. We'll be watching a movie in our cabin if you need us."

Jou almost laughed when Yami smirked and mouthed; "Try not to need us.".

"Alright. See you later."

The pair left and Jou turned and sighed, staring down at the reflection of the moon on the water between the whitecaps caused by the boat's wake.

He shivered as he realized that the wind was getting colder. Suddenly he heard the footfalls of another approaching.

"It's lovely, isn't it?" asked the voice he knew so well softly.

"Absolutely. I was wondering where you were Seto."

"Anzu-."

"Just stop there, that's all the explanation anyone needs."

He could swear he heard Seto's smile. He shivered again as the breeze blew. Then a coat was draped around his shoulders and an arm was around his waist. They stood together and simply lived in the moment of being in love.

"I love you Seto." said Jou.

Seto cupped his boyfriend's chin and brought their lips together sweetly.

"I love you too Jou." Seto whispered with every bit of the statement shining in his eyes.

Jou woke up screaming, tears streaming down his face. He laid there and continued to sob. He wouldn't get back to sleep, and he knew it. The clock probably read no later than three am, three hours before he needed to be up. And he just continued sobbing loudly.

Because it wouldn't happen.

Across town though, Seto too awoke in bed, tears running down his face. He would lay there crying silently for another hour, then get Mokuba up to finish the homework he had set aside the night before. And Seto cried silently.

Because he was afraid of losing the dream.

Alright, that's it. And uh…well, it's sad and frustrating and cute and sweet and angst all in one.
