Pairing: Shou x Judai (Syrus x Jaden)

Genre: Romance, slash, lemon, and humor.

A/N: Well here we go!! This is the very first request I ever got in my whole fanfiction writing career!! This fanfic was a request from DarkItachi22 and I tried my best with it! It took me FOREVER to write just because of the content of this story and I had to wait until I was home alone to write it. I originally planned for this to be a oneshot so I expected the lemon to be in this chapter. But as I continued writing I saw how long it already is...so I figured I should break it up into two parts. To be totally honest, before this request this is a fanfic I never imagined writing in a million years. XD A story with Shou as the seme. I love Shou loads and loads, he's my absolute favorite anime boy. But the thing is; in my general opinion, I don't feel that Shou could seme to ANYONE. He's very shy and timid, and just…wow, he's the exact definition of a uke. XD; But…a request is a request so I did my best to write this!! I hope it came out good and I'm sorry for any possible OOC-ness that you may see. I tried to keep both Judai and Shou as in character as possible. This story takes place around season two I guess, and Shou's still in Ra Yellow.

Warnings: This story contains hardcore YAOI(BOY x BOY in SEXUAL situations)!! This story also contains a LEMON!! And for those of you who don't know that means a story that involves a DETAILED sex scene with SHOU on top!! If any of these things or all of them offends you in any way I ask you now, PLEASE DO NOT READ!! I don't want to be responsible for anything that you regret reading afterwards. Also, please DO NOT flame. All of you have been warned, so reading this story is in no way my fault.


It had been a long day; one of the hottest days in the whole year so far. Because of the heat, everyone's tensions were up and people seemed to be more short-tempered than usual. Nobody wanted to be bothered. And even the smartest of Duel Academy didn't want to even try going to class on this day.

But finally things were settling down. The sun was setting and though the heat had been excruciating, there was a beautiful sunset outside that seemed to make up for it all. Finally a soft wind was beginning to blow. With night, promises for a more comfortable environment were clear.

Seated in the Osiris Red cafeteria was the small bluenette, Shou. He was completely alone in there and no lights were on in the room. The blinds were halfway closed, allowing an orange light from the sunset to glow into the room. The setting sun was causing strange shadows to form in different spots of the room, and Shou's yellow jacket seemed to match the light.

All day Shou had been out of it. He wasn't actually depressed, and nothing bad had happened to him today in particular…but it was just the heat itself that caused Shou to feel weak and listless from the moment he woke up to the moment he was sitting here now. Because of his small frame, intense heat wasn't good for the boy…and it caused his whole body to feel heavy. Like everyone else, Shou was also very thankful that this hot day was over and that it was finally Friday. The weather forecast assured everyone that the temperature would cool down by the weekend, and it was always a good feeling to know that you would be able to sleep in the next day.

Unfortunately for Shou, feeling weak like he did caused strange and sad thoughts to fill his mind. And knowing his luck, Shou was certain that these thoughts would remain in his mind all weekend and ruin his mood. A sigh escaped his lips and he gazed out the window and stared at the horizon with the setting sun.

For once, however, these thoughts were a little different than his usual ones. He wasn't thinking about his brother, or his place at Duel Academy, or even about his own self-esteem…this time his thoughts were about something completely random and maybe not even a big deal to his friends, but for some reason these thoughts were bothering Shou terribly.

They were thoughts about how Shou could never act like a "man".

Shou had to face up to this too…his whole life he wasn't exactly the most masculine boy around. There were his looks; his slender, curved and petite body, large adorable silver eyes, pastel colored hair, and small, delicate hands. There was his voice; high-pitched, feminine, small, and always being able to go into a slight whining tone at any given moment. And then there was his personality; he was shy, easily-embarrassed, blushed at the slightest things, he was sensitive both physically and emotionally, fell in love easily, loved being called names such as "beautiful" and "adorable", loving the feeling of being protected or just held, and of course his extreme submissive nature.

No, there probably wasn't a masculine gene in Shou's whole system, and he knew it just as well as anyone else.

When he was little he used to complain about this to his mother a lot. He would ask why he didn't look like Ryo, or why he would look exactly like a girl if he put on a dress. His mother just told him that when he got older he would grow out of it.

Well…the fact of it was; puberty had already hit Shou and no one would seem to notice. There were no signs that Shou was becoming more "manly" and Shou was completely aware that he'd probably be this way his whole life.

Aghh! It's not fair!! Shou thought to himself as he put his head on the table. I never thought about this before but now that I am…I'm pathetic!! I'm a BOY!! But I barely act like one…and because of that no one will ever take me seriously!! Shou continued laying his head on the Osiris Red table as he pouted slightly, recalling a memory from his childhood. It's just like Oniisan used to tell me when we were kids…he would always tell me to stop crying and to not let others see my weaknesses. But…I was never able to help it. When the other kids would pick on me in the playground or at school, they would ALWAYS make me cry no matter how hard I tried not to. Oniisan would always get the kids back for what they did but…he'd always tell me the same thing; he'd always say that if I didn't start acting like a man, I'd never be respected…

Shou sighed again, "But…how do I do that?" "How do you do what?" Shou gasped and quickly sat up at hearing a familiar voice from behind him. He turned to face the person, "Manjyome-kun!! What are you doing here?!" Manjyome didn't even look at the boy and sat on a chair at the opposite table. "I'm Manjyome-sanda, I could be wherever the hell I want." Shou looked away, "Whatever…" He mumbled, almost to himself. Manjyome just blinked, "What's your problem now? Almost every single day you look depressed about something. What is it?"

Shou couldn't help but glare up at the black-haired teen. "For your information I'm NOT depressed everyday and I'm not depressed now!" Manjyome continued looking away from Shou, and stared at his fingernails instead. "That's why I said ALMOST everyday. Learn how to listen, shrimp." Shou pouted, "Jerk…" He mumbled again. "And anyway, if you MUST know…I'm just thinking about something my big brother said, that's all." Shou knew very well that wasn't the complete truth, but what it was REALLY was about was far too embarrassing to say to anyone let alone Manjyome Thunder.

Manjyome rolled his eyes, "AGAIN with your brother? You have a brother complex or something, seriously, you have issues." Shou glared at him, "And so what if I do!? It's none of your business!!" Manjyome stood up from the table and then walked over to Shou. After staring down at him blankly for a moment he flicked Shou in the forehead. "It IS my business because I have to see you whine about it all the time. Everyday it's the same…'boohoo, my brother hates me!' or, 'boohoo, my brother doesn't think I'm good enough!' or, 'boohoo, I'll never be like my big brother'. Just get over it already!!"

Shou was still glaring and getting angrier by the second, but he couldn't think of anything that he could possibly say. "J-just stay out of it and leave me alone!" Shou managed to stammer out, "This is why I didn't want to tell you in the first place!" Shou then started to feel tears stinging in his eyes. He wasn't actually SAD now, and usually it wasn't this easy to bring him to tears, but after being stressed and tired all day, having Manjyome say these things to him whether they were true or not was the last thing he needed. Though Shou refused to let Manjyome see him crying…not now at least. He stared down at the floor, forcing himself to glare at it, to hide any more tears that were forming.

Unfortunately for the bluenette, though, Manjyome did see that Shou was crying and he had noticed this right away. And though he didn't want to admit it, Manjyome did feel a little bad. He never meant to make Shou cry, but it always seemed to happen. Manjyome sighed and pat the bluenette lightly on the head causing him to look up though tears were still present in his eyes. "Quit your crying already." Manjyome said in an emotionless voice, not even looking at the smaller boy. "Look, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but you really need to stop with the crying all the time. You can't let people…get to you so quickly. If you keep crying like that no one will ever take you seriously. I mean it."

Shou's eyes widened as Manjyome spoke. What he was saying…his words were almost identical to his brother's! Shou understood now, he knew that he couldn't expect to keep acting this way his whole life, but…what was he supposed to do?

Manjyome saw how quiet Shou was being and just sighed again. "Whatever. Take it as you will; those were just words of advice. Take it or leave it." Shou shook his head, "I k-know I just…n-never mind…" Shou then got up from the table, pushing his chair in. "I'm gonna go…I have a lot on my mind. Umm…thank you, Manjyome-kun…I think." And with those last words and a single wave, Shou left the cafeteria leaving the black-haired teen on his own.

Manjyome just watched as Shou left and then sat back into his chair, resting his head on his hand and staring out the window. "Weird kid…" He mumbled to himself just before all thoughts of Shou completely left his mind.

Shou had decided that he needed to talk to SOMEBODY about this. Hearing Manjyome say the same thing as his brother was the last straw, Shou needed to figure out exactly how to be a "man" and fast. He preferred doing this on his own…because he was still embarrassed with having to talk to anyone about these strange thoughts, but he knew that he had no choice. He didn't know where he could start so right now his only option was to get help. And the only person he trusted enough to help him was his boyfriend; Judai Yuki.

It didn't take long to get to Judai's dorm, being that he was already in the nearby area after leaving the Osiris Red cafeteria. And as soon as he walked in there he saw Judai laying back on his bed and smiling, talking to Hane Kuriboh which just looked like thin air to the bluenette. Judai immediately sat up when he saw his little lover. "Shou!" He exclaimed, grinning his usual happy smile. "What's up? We haven't gotten to talk all day!! You and everyone else were so out of it today…" Judai frowned, "I was lonely."

Shou couldn't help but smile, though it had been so hot today, the heat didn't seem to affect the brunette at all. His happiness and outgoing energy seemed to make him immune to things that usually brought other people down. But Shou always loved that about Judai, it was one of the things that gave Judai the ability to cheer people up so easily. "I'm sorry, Aniki…" Shou said as he climbed up onto the bed to sit next to the taller teen. "I was just thinking about a lot of things today…so…" Judai blinked when he heard Shou say that and then right away put his arm around the bluenette's shoulders with concern. "What was on your mind?" Judai asked, "If it's anything that's really bothering you, I really want to know about it."

Shou just looked down and right away started blushing. He did come to Judai's dorm to ask for his help…he was planning on telling him anyway, and now that Judai asked…it was the perfect opportunity. But he still couldn't help but feel embarrassed…this was going to be so hard to say!! He felt so incredibly stupid! He took a deep breath. He couldn't keep this inside any longer and he wanted to fix this problem as soon as possible anyway. It was better now than never so he knew that he had no choice but to just go and say it.

"W-well…" Shou started to say, still looking away from the taller teen. "I…need you to help me with something." Judai blinked, "Sure thing! What is it?" Shou felt a little better at hearing how innocent Judai sounded, "Um…well I…I need you to teach me how to be a man!!" Shou's blushing grew worse and then he shyly looked up at the brunette. "Um…please?"

Judai's mouth opened but he said nothing. Rather, he just stared at the bluenette for the longest time, not knowing what at all he could possibly say. He was NOT expecting Shou to ask him this of ALL the questions! Teach Shou how to be a man? Talk about random!

Seeing how long it was taking for Judai to answer made Shou feel worse. He whined as he looked up to Judai desperately as he put his hands together in a prayer notion. "Please Aniki!! I really need your help!! I can't take it anymore!" He flailed, "My whole life I've been the most girly boy on the block and I never even try to!! I'm tired of being treated like a wimp because I'm always crying and I want people to be able to take me seriously and actually see me as a threat!! PLEASE help me, Judai, PLEASE!" Judai backed up slightly on the bed when he saw how Shou was reacting, "Whoa, cool it Shou…it's no big deal!! Of course I'll help you!!" He smiled brightly, "I think you could do it…I'll do my best to teach you!!"

Shou relaxed when he heard this and smiled. "R-really? Thank you so much, Aniki!" He threw his arms around the brunette, hugging himself close to Judai's chest. "You don't know how much this means to me!! I knew you wouldn't let me down!!" Judai laughed and pat Shou on the back before pulling away with a playful grin, "Well first of all 'men' don't lean their heads on other boy's chests when they hug them…even if they're dating them." Shou sweatdropped when he realized what he did, "Oh…you're right." He rubbed the back of his neck, "Sorry…didn't think of that…" Judai shook his head, still smiling. "It's fine!" He exclaimed, "I'll teach you everything I know and you'll be a man before you know it!"

Shou felt really excited now and quickly stood up, eager to learn. "So what's first?" He asked, "What should I do?" Judai placed his hand on his chin to think, "Hm…well…first of all, let's start with your voice." Shou folded his arms, "What's wrong with my voice?" Judai laughed nervously, "Well…your voice is…squeaky. I mean, I like it but 'men' don't talk that way. I know you can't help it because nobody chooses the voice they're born with, but maybe if you practice talking in a deeper voice for a while you'll get used to it and be able to talk like that naturally all the time!!" Shou smiled happily immediately believing the dense brunette, "Do you really think so?" Judai quickly nodding, "Uh huh, I do!! So let's give it a try!!"

Now excited, Shou pumped a fist into the air. "OKAY!" He said with a smile. "But…what should I try to say?" Judai thought about it for a moment, "Hm…you need to say something manly…how about…'drive the damn car, bitch!'" Judai grinned happily afterwards, thinking that his suggestion was the perfect idea. Shou just stared at Judai blankly, "Um…do 'manly' people really say that? I don't usually hear people saying that…" Judai flailed excitedly, "That's because it's an EXTREME manly sentence…not many could do it…but I think that YOU could!!" Shou felt a little under pressure when he heard how much confidence Judai had in him. But he didn't let it get the best of him. "I-if you think that I could do it, Aniki, than I'll try my best."

Judai grinned, "That's the spirit!! Now remember, you can't say this in your usual voice…try speaking in the deepest voice that you can." Shou nodded and then cleared his throat to ready himself. He made a face that showed complete concentration and total determination. Forcing himself, Shou spoke in an unusually deep voice, 'drive the damn car, bitch'!!" He said, but unfortunately unable to help the slight cracking of his voice when his sentence was finished. He frowned, "Owww!! That hurt my throat…"

Judai was just speechless when Shou was finished talking. "…Uh…yeah…I don't think this is going to work out as well as I thought…you just sounded like you forced your voice too much…it didn't sound real…" Shou pouted and looked down, feeling defeated. "You're right…" He admitted, "That didn't work out very well at all…"

Judai felt a little bad for his boyfriend when he saw his sad expression so he just smiled warm-heartedly. "Its okay, Shou-chan, we'll just worry about that later!! Let's try something else for now." Shou smiled lightly back and nodded, "O-okay, I'm okay with that…what's next, Judai-kun?" Judai then suddenly stood up, standing next to Shou. "Next…we'll work on your walking?" Shou looked confused, "My walking!? Is my walk girly too!?" Judai sweatdropped and laughed nervously again, "W-well…I'm sure you don't mean to but uh…when you walk…your hips kind of swing a bit. You probably can't help it because you have a feminine body and so your hips are slightly curved, but 'manly' guys don't swing their hips at ALL when they walk."

Ignoring the 'feminine body' comment, Shou just nodded. "Alright…so I just have to walk without swinging my hips, right?" Judai nodded too, "That's right!" Shou looked determined again, "I could do that!" And with a deep breath Shou started to walk, concentrating hard on the way his hips worked, forcing himself with everything he had to not let them swing.

Unfortunately, however, doing this caused Shou's body to move very stiffly and his legs walked in a very mechanical way, his arms moving at the same time as his legs. Judai just watched the bluenette and shook his head, "Er…I don't think that's working…you don't look very comfortable walking like that…someone's going to know that something's up."

Shou knew that was true so he collapsed onto the floor on his knees. He whined, "Why can't I do this!? No matter how hard I try…" Nervous that Shou was going to get upset, Judai quickly kneeled down next to his lover and kissed him on the forehead and the cheek to calm him down. "It's okay, Shou, this is all just very new to you, that's all!! I'm sure we could find something that'll work out!! Don't give up, that's the most important part!!" At this point Shou wasn't really convinced, but he trusted in what Judai said. "F-fine…I won't give up…" He stood up, causing Judai to do the same. "Can you think of anything else I could try to do?" Asked Shou, innocently, his determination not yet broken.

Judai thought about it before quickly coming up with one final idea. "Well…teaching you how to talk like a guy didn't work, and neither did teaching you how to walk like a guy. So let's try this; I want you to fight me!" Shou's eyes widened, "F-f-fight you!?" Judai grinned and quickly nodded, "Yeah, that's right! Punch me as hard as you can!! As if you hated me!! A girly boy can't hurt someone at all...so if you were able to that, it would show your manliness for sure!!"

Shou's eyes widened and he just stared at Judai for a long time. "L-like I hate you...b-but..." He said in a small and nervous voice. Judai just continued to grin, "Don't worry, I'll know the truth. It's just PRETENDING, after all! I just want you to give it all you got." Judai put his hands on his hips and extended out his chest. "Now, go!! Punch me, punch me!!" Shou looked nervous and now shaky but he slowly nodded, "P-pretending...it's just pretending..." He slowly began to make a fist and raised it, ready to slam it down into the other boy's chest.

Judai laughed, "So far so good...now hit me already!" Shou's small fist began to tremble, "I...I..." Judai closed his eyes, preparing himself for the "attack".

About a minute went by and the brunette still felt nothing. He opened up an eye to stare at the smaller boy, only to see Shou covering his face with both his hands and crying rather dramatically into them. Judai's smile faded, "S-Shou-chan..."

"It's no use!!" Shou whined, "I can't do it, I just can't!!" He moved his hands away from his face and looked up at Judai desperately, showing that his cheeks were now stained with tears. "E-even if we're pretending, I can't hurt you!! I'd...I'd feel too bad!!" Judai walked closer to the boy and placed his hands on his shoulders to try and calm him, "E-even if you punched me, there's no guarantee that it would really hurt me THAT badly. I'm sure I'd be alright!!" He lightly wrapped his arms around the boy's back, holding him close to his chest and rubbing his back to comfort him even more.

Shou placed his hands on Judai's chest and continued to cry, though having to admit that he did feel a little better thanks to Judai's famous hug. "N-no...it doesn't matter!! I still can't!! I can't punch you, Aniki!!" He moved his hands to his face again to wipe away his tears as more fell, and he whined. "AGH! I really AM pathetic, aren't I...? I can't do anything right!!" He pouted, "I SHOULD'VE JUST BEEN BORN A GIRL BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY I WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER AT THAT!!"

Judai twitched at Shou's sudden outburst and sighed, loosening the hug a bit to stare down at him softly. "Shh...Shou, don't say things like that..." He leaned down and kissed the bluenette on the cheek, gently placing his hands on Shou's shoulders again. "You're a boy. You were born a boy for a reason. You may not be the manliest boy around...but hey! You're adorable!! I love you and so does everyone else. We love you BECAUSE you're a girly little uke boy...you wouldn't be Shou anymore if you acted like a manly man!" Shou sniffled, and looked up at Judai pathetically, tears still present in his silver eyes. "B-but...if I stay this way...no one will be able to take me seriously...both Oniisan and Manjyome-kun said—" "Shh." Judai placed his finger over Shou's lips to stop his sentence right in the middle.

"They said that because they care about you. They don't want to see you getting hurt and heartbroken, and I could understand that completely!" Judai grinned, "But y'see...people DO take you seriously!! I mean, I do...and so do all of your friends." Shou blushed lightly at thinking that people cared about him so deeply and looked down. Judai continued to smile, "It doesn't matter to me that you act the way you do. You don't have to change a single thing. And heh, if someone doesn't take you seriously or hurts you...you have ME to protect you!! So please stop crying..."

Shou started blushing a little more but then couldn't help but let out a giggle and smile. "Aniki..." He said in a small voice, "Thank you..." Judai smiled and wiped away a few more of Shou's stray tears. "So no more tears...?" He asked as he held Shou's face. Shou nodded, "No more..." Judai smiled and closed his eyes, slowly beginning to lean in, Shou closed his own eyes as well and leaned up and in.

Finally the space between the two was broken and they locked their lips in what became a very passionate kiss.

It started very tentative at first, but Judai slowly tilted his head slightly to deepen the kiss a little more. His tongue trailed along Shou's lower lip, begging for an entrance. Shou eagerly gave it to him, parting his lips for his lover's tongue to slide between them. Judai's tongue moved slowly along Shou's at first, but both of them quickly warmed up to the passionate sensation and their tongues danced together both lovingly and hungrily.

At this point their bodies seemed to be controlled by passion alone. While kissing, Shou was brought back to the bed, as they both sat, knowing that their knees would become weak if they stood any longer. Shou's arms wrapped tightly around Judai's neck, while Judai's arms were wrapped firmly around the boy's waist. Judai's hands trailed up the back of Shou's shirt as Shou moved his body even closer to Judai's, their chests pressed together.

Warmth gathered between the two boys, and Judai began nibbling lightly on Shou's lower lip, causing a soft sound to be emitted from the boy. The brunette's hands trailed further up Shou's shirt until it was almost completely lifted in the back. Shou whimpered lightly and then quickly pulled away, knowing that he would become light headed without any air for much longer.

The two boys didn't need to say anything as the kiss was broken and they just gazed into the other's eyes lovingly, Judai thinking that Shou's eyes sparkled so beautifully and Shou thinking the same for Judai. Passion and heat was rising in the room between the boys, and sparks of pleasure were beginning to form between the legs of both boys.

Shou blushed deeply at feeling the beginning arousal from that one kiss and shyly looked down. Suddenly, an idea formed in his mind.

Maybe it was because of his erection that was beginning to rise in his uniform pants, or maybe it was because this idea was so new and foreign to Shou that he wanted to make it a reality. But for one reason or another Shou had the urge to say what he was thinking out loud, ignoring all of his shyness and timidness that went along with it.

"A-aniki...J-Judai..." Shou started to say. Judai blinked and smiled, looking down at the boy. "What is it, Shou-chan?"

Shou shyly moved his hands to Judai's chest, playing with the front of his shirt in an attempt to distract himself from blushing. "I...I know you said that I don't have to change myself...and that you love me the way I am, but I..." Shou's attempts failed and before he knew it, his face was almost completely red. "I...I still want to try to prove myself. Even if you say that I don't have to, I...!!" He forced himself to look up at Judai, "I...want to."

Judai sighed and then smiled down at the boy, "If you really want to." He said, "I'm happy with anything that you want to do." He gently patted the bluenette on the head. "But...what is it, exactly, that you want to do?"

Shou felt butterflies in his stomach and he felt more embarrassed than ever. He gulped and became extremely nervous, feeling as if what he was about to say was taboo. But seeing Judai's soft smile reassured the boy a bit and he felt the SLIGHT confidence forming within him to be able to at least state his idea.

"I...J-Judai...I want to..." He took a deep breath, "I...I...I want to be on top!! J-just this once..."

Judai's eyes widened and he blushed slightly, unable to believe that he heard these words come out of a boy who was normally so innocent and shy. Unable to get over his shock all he could do was stare at the boy. "S-Shou-chan..."
