Baka and Bishounen:
Chapter one: The soccer game.
He had broken away from the rest of the players, as usual. He might not have been considered a team player, but he got the most goals, and that was all that mattered to him. He used his finesse to lead the ball right up to goal. He looked up at the goalie and thought; this will be a piece of cake! He snickered as he calculated a moment before sending the ball flying towards the net. But something was wrong. Instead sailing into the net, the ball slammed into the goalie.
Kaiba's mind was sent whirling, he never missed shots. Then Kaiba recognized the goal tender. Joseph Wheeler. Kaiba was not satisfied at all. The first person to block a shot since grade school, was Wheeler? He hadn't even seen him play before! Joey was just a bench warmer!
Joey had blocked the shot alright, but he had fallen back and the goal still counted. He saw a frustrated look burning in Kaiba's eyes. Joey returned this with his own frustrated glare. Kaiba wasn't so much better then everyone else. Kaiba just had such a huge ego that it pushed everyone out of the way. Then another thought struck him, which was fairly rare for Joey, Kaiba had ambition.
He remembered the time he woke up in the middle of a class after Tea threw a wad of paper at him.
She said "this is something you might actually use Joey, we all know about your attitude, I mean, you're sleeping in class!" She ranted as she rolled her eyes.
"Wha? Attitude? What?" was all that Joey could manage to respond with as he tried to wake up. The entire class broke out in laughter as the teacher, noticing that he had been asleep, had him recite what was on the page before him, the whole classed laughed again as he tried to discreetly wipe off the drool off the sheet from his little rest.
"Neva eat yella snow" even shaken awake he could think of something funny to take off the heat in a situation.
This time the class responded with a different tone of laughter, one that gave Joey a feeling like he might not get beaten up after class.
"That is not funny Mister Wheeler, and neither will your detention, now read the quote!"
"Life is" Started Joey, squinting to read the spit blurred page "Ten percent of what 'appens to me, and 90% how I respond ta it." He'd never forgotten that quote because of that embarrassment.
The quote was from an article about how attitude meant everything. No wonder Kaiba was so successful, he was drowning in attitude. Joey thought about what Kaiba's attitude was. He didn't need anything from anyone, and he'd do anything to get what he wanted. His thoughts were interrupted with a solid punch in the gut.
Kaiba was entirely frustrated at Joey. He felt terrible that someone could even come close to defeating him, angry like it was the first time his honor was challenged. How could such a disrespectable dog like Joey ever come close to stopping him? Kaiba might have been satisfied with the fact that it was a fluke, if the unthinkable hadn't happened.
The sharp whistle blew, but not to sing the praise of Kaiba's victory as it usually did, but because Kaiba had struck Joey. Kaiba was kicked out of the game. This left him much time to try and figure how Joey could have nearly stopped him. The kid always had luck on his side, that was for sure, and he figured that Joey must have been determined to knock him off his pedestal; he'd watched the match on T.V. when he dueled Otagi, and knew that he could only have drive when he had a cause.
Kaiba smirked when he remembered Joey regretfully slipping on the dog suit. But there was something that made Kaiba think some more, Joey was brave enough to keep his word, he put on that humiliating dog suit and played the part because he had a… sense of honor. Kaiba figured he wouldn't have done that. He would have just left, made a dramatic exist, and forgotten it, though; Kaiba would never lose a duel to Duke Devlon. Kaiba also remembered what Joey had said when he dueled him in duelist kingdoms. He was yelling at Kaiba for not understanding about the causes that he and his friends had. Kaiba had ignored him before, but later when he checked it out, Joey was actually telling the honest truth. He had even sacrificed his life, to save Mokuba in the virtual world. The brat has a heart of gold. Kaiba thought of his own cold heart, the one that helped kill his father, and nearly killed himself. He was forced to admire the pure heart of Joey, one he felt he could never have. Kaiba realized that even in a dope like Joey, there were good qualities that he'd never been able to grasp.
Kaiba looked up at the score clock, not wishing to spend any more time thinking about Joey Wheeler, he gazed at it in disbelief.
For the first time since Kaiba joined it, his was team losing. Joey's team had been down by 3 points, but somehow they gained that back. Of course Kaiba has assumed his team was nothing with out him, but he also noticed that Joey's team had all suddenly decided to play better. Kaiba couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the score at 5-5.
What had caused Joey's team to get improve so suddenly? Kaiba's team was still fearsome with out him, and he hated to admit it, but they wouldn't miss him much. The only other thing that had happened was that Joey had spoken to them before the game restarted. Could one small rally actually change a whole game? Was this another one of Joey Wheeler's qualities?
Kaiba stood up and decided not to see the rest of the game. He wanted to get home. He wanted to get away from Joey Wheeler. He reeked of everything Kaiba couldn't have. That Kaiba wanted. He was even best friends with Yugi Mouto, the only person Kaiba had ever even considered a friend, other then his little brother Mokuba, who he'd never exclude.
Joey watched as Kaiba suddenly got up and left. He was so distracted by this in fact, that he hardly noticed the ball fly into the net beside him, ending the game, with Kaiba's team ahead by 1 point. Joey had once liked Yugi. Like-liked. He even told him about it. But after realizing Yugi didn't feel the same way, he gave up on the feels like that for him. He'd dated a few girls since, and liked every one of them, but nothing had struck as deep as when he liked Yugi, until now, but, for, Kaiba?

Well that ends chapter 1!! OMG! 0_0 I can't believe that turned out that well. At first I was thinking this was going to be a terrible failure! Lol, now I will write more chapters, Muahaha, Wait until the grocery store scene… tee hee he. They're really a lot alike those two, you just have to sort of squint. They're like so perfectly opposite.
They are involved in all the same times, just different parts of the same thing, which would make them fit together instead of being copies, *demonstrates with hands* See? Two hands, but one is left, and one is right! Wow, that is the best analogy I've made in a long time. You so lucky if you read this, my smartness is showing! Forward, goalie, duels with mind, duels with heart, both have little siblings, and would do anything for them, but one's whole life is their sibling, and the other hasn't even seen her in the flesh since he made sand castles, and oh, if I dug I could probably find more. Not to mention the obvious how they both have colour-eyes colour-dragons, except one represents potential, and one victory. Geez, I better shut up or I'll have to write the second chapter, LYLAS!
-Oh, and review please. ^_^
