Hello everyone,
I'm back with a new story which will be short, because I don't have much time to write it. I hope you all understand. I actually thought my second story would be a Laven, but apparently I was wrong.

Here you go. Enjoy.

Chapter 1

Long before his life was twisted around by the 'Duel Monster world', Yugi Mutou was a normal little boy. He lived with his parents and grandfather in a game shop in the small city of Domino. He had the same life as everyone else and was truly happy.

One day, as he was going home after school, he saw a boy who must have been the same age as he was. At first, Yugi paid no real attention to him, but as he walked closer he soon realized the boy was crying. Not knowing what else to do, Yugi stepped closer and sat next to the other boy. After a minute had passed by, he gently put his hand on the child's arm and started speaking to him.

"Why are you crying?" He asked. "Is something wrong?" He was beginning to worry.

"It's none of your business!" Answered the kid between two sobs.

"I just want to help. It's sad seeing people cry..." Yugi said honestly.

"If you just go away and pretend you didn't see anything, then it won't be."

"But I don't want to go away. I want to help." The boy was now determined.

"You'd just make fun of me if I told you." The sobs were getting louder and Yugi found it quite impressive that the boy could still talk without even stuttering.

"I'll sit here until you tell me what's going on." He declared.

And he did. For more than twenty minutes, he sat there and said nothing. But he was getting really worried and suddenly hugged the weeping boy out of the blue. The latter instantly stopped crying as his eyes went wide with shock. He hadn't been expecting that. Yugi was about to let go, when the other's arms wrapped around him. A soft smile grew on his lips as he whispered soothing words into a small ear.

"I-I had a f-fight with my step-p father a-and he w-wants me t-to go to a b-b-boarding-school in England." And there were the tears again.

"Please, don't cry... I can't help but c-cry when I see someone's tears." Yugi started weeping with this small stranger as he still held him. "I'm s-sure he w-won't make you l-leave if y-y-you don't w-want t-to."

As they both cried, they didn't hear the limousine pulling out next to them and the 20 thousand yen shoes tapping on the ground. Then, in less than a second, Yugi was alone on the sidewalk and the car had disappeared with the expensive shoes and the small weeping figure. It took a couple of minutes for Yugi to understand what had happened and after searching briefly, he went home with a sad look on his adorable face.

After that, Yugi's life continued as it had started. But as every day was better than the last, something happened. It had to. One day, a woman entered the classroom. She whispered a couple of words into the teacher's ear before the latter told the boy to go to the director's office. When Yugi got into the office, he saw his grandfather. The old man wrapped his arms around his grandson and wept deeply as the social worker explained to the child he would never see his parents again because they had died in a car crash. That was the day Yugi's world collapsed.

For a while, the boy had a hard time to cope. It was the most horrible time in his life. But as years passed, he met his friends one after the other. First, he met Anzu while he was in English class. They talked a lot. Then, as Yugi's grandfather had taught the boy how to play 'Duel Monster', the latter played with whoever he could find. One day, as Yugi had just entered high school, two of his classmates made fun of him because he was tiny and weak. But they soon found out they were wrong and became, with Anzu, Yugi's best friends.

As the teen's first year of high school was half through, a student got transferred to his class. He was very tall and had short brown hair. That was all he was at first. The tall classmate with brown hair, but as he walked through the rows of chairs to sit next to Yugi, the latter realized the new guy had the most wonderful eyes he had ever seen. They were blue, light blue, no... ice-blue. As the newcomer sat down, Yugi looked at him. He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but stare at the teen.

He soon learned the name of his blue-eyed classmate was Seto Kaiba. He was the heir to the Kaiba group and was multi-billionaire. A lot of gossip was going around school about him getting a girl pregnant in his last school or him fighting with a local gang, but Yugi knew better than to believe in such stupid rumors. Lunch time came, and the boy met with his friends to go and eat. As he sat between Honda and Anzu, the violet-eyed boy wasn't listening to his friends complain about the food or the next math test. He was lost in his thoughts and didn't even hide the fact that he was staring at Seto. But as he looked at the teenager, a noise brought him back to his friends.

"Earth to Yugi! Yugi! DAMN, YUGS!" Yelled Jonouchi for all the school to hear.

"Uh...? ... What?" He tilted his head up slowly with dazed eyes.

"Honda was saying Kimiko-sensei was the cutest but the worst Economics' teacher ... ever." Jonouchi explained. "What do you think?"

"I don't know. She sure isn't very interesting, but ... I don't know if she's c-cute." The boy blushed slightly as he said the last word.

"How could you not know if she's cute?" Honda asked.

"Leave him alone you two." Anzu said, but they really didn't care.

"No, Honda has a point. How can you not know?" The blond teen asked again.

"I-I dun-no. I just d-don't see her l-like that." Yugi blushed harder than before and hid his head in his hands in embarrassment.

"Then, who do you find attractive? There must be someone you like or liked." His brown-haired friend wanted to know.

Truth be told, Yugi had never really liked girls in that kind of way. He liked them as friends, like Anzu was. A friend. The only person that fascinated him was the new student. The blue-eyed teen. For reasons he couldn't explain or even understand, he couldn't stop staring at him. But he wasn't going to tell his friends that kind of thing, so he just shrugged it off. As the weeks passed by, Yugi thought about the Kaiba boy ... a lot. In fact, he couldn't get him out of his mind. Every time he went somewhere, he caught himself looking for the teen. Every time he closed his eyes, there he was. It seemed to the small boy that his classmate was more beautiful every time he led eyes on him.

As seven weeks had passed since Seto Kaiba had arrived in his school, Yugi decided he should go at least talk with the tall teenager. So, on that day, during Poetry class, Yugi pushed his pen off his table, far enough for it to roll under the blue-eyed teen's chair.

"E-excuse-me..." The small boy stuttered, but Kaiba obviously didn't hear him. "E-excuse-m-me." The brown-haired man turned to his classmate with an eyebrow raised. "M-my p-pen... it fell und-der your ch-chair."

There was a long pause, and after a minute of silence, the taller teen bent down to pick up the pen. As he did so, Yugi watched his every move. He saw the strong arm stretch and the beautiful fingers reach to find his pen. Once the other boy had picked it up, he sat back in his chair and gave the pen back to its owner. The latter couldn't help but blush as the tips of his fingers brushed against Kaiba's hand.

"There." Was all he said, his cold gaze locking with the amethyst one..

"Th-thank y-you very m-much." Yugi stammered, red as could be. 'What do I do now? I thought he would at least start talking or something. I feel so stupid. Should I say something?' The boy was getting thoroughly depressed.

"What do you want?" Seto asked apparently quite annoyed.

"W-what do I...? What? I d-don't want an-nything." He was completely lost. "Why would I w-want something?" Yugi whispered, he didn't want to get scolded.

"You're always staring at me and it makes me uncomfortable. So, whatever you want. Just spit it out so we can get it over with." Kaiba was being extremely rude.

The purple-eyed boy blushed more than ever as he didn't know what to answer. "I-I'm s-so-sorry. I... it's... I-I mean... uhm... I-I wasn't ... you know..."

"Listen, just... stop staring all the time." The teenager said. 'What's his problem?'

'Oh no, he hates me now!' The small boy felt tear blur his vision. "I'm sorry!" He let out before storming out of the classroom so fast, the teacher froze in confusion.

As the class finished, Jonouchi couldn't stop calling Seto names. The reason? He had made his best friend cry, and Hell would freeze over before he let that scum get away with it. Once the Poetry class ended, Anzu, Honda and him went looking for their small friend, but he was nowhere to be found.

As his friends were looking for him, Yugi was lying on the roof. He was lost in his thoughts, wept freely and cursed himself over and over again as he remembered his 'conversation' with the tall and handsome new student. Seto Kaiba. It was always all about him. During the weeks which had passed, the small teen had just grown fonder of those unforgettable ice-blue eyes. The boy was thinking so hard, he didn't hear the door under him open. So, when he felt something poking at his shoulder, he jumped with fright.

There was chapter one. Hope you enjoyed it. I have to say the next chapters will be better, because I have ideas growing in that little head of mine. ^^

R&R please
