A/N: I decided to rewrite and finish this story as well once I'm on the roll. This one's much funnier than 'Try Again' so it's more fun to write as well. :D And the characters are pretty OOC, just so you know…
and...
Get past the first part when it gets funnier. I admit, this is a bit of a parody of some cliches as well...
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! But I would like to. Really. I wouldn't mind at all.
What's hotter, red or violet?
Chapter 1: Tell me this isn't true.
Seto's POV.
There is no point. I can't deny it anymore. I would end up lying to myself if I did.
I never thought it's possible. I never even thought I could be swinging that way! And still I am…
I don't know when this started. When? No, when will this end? And when did the final realization come to me? By our last duel? And what was different then from the other times? His passion? His enthusiasm in everything he's doing? But he's always like that! What then? What makes me dream about him every night? What makes me wake up sweating and screaming his name in the middle of night? What? His every move? His rich sonorous voice? His beautiful eyes? God…damnit…Devil…it makes no sense. I'm losing my mind. I'm losing my mind with every second I'm together with him. With every second I'm together and possessing my secret. God, if he only knew how I'm yearning to touch his skin. To smell his hair. To…Damn I'm sick. I'm sick. I'm so so sick. But I can't deny it any longer. I adore you Yami. Love you all over and over all. Your existence makes me excited. Your life is my fulfillment. I hate you for making me feel so weak and defenseless. I know I will never admit that you're my everything, my every wish my every breathe. I can't admit it. I'll lose myself. Or am I already lost? But I won't admit it. I'm defeated. But I won't admit it. I'm completely yours. Can't you see that? Can't you feel that? I'm yours…you just have to stretch out your hands to catch me. But maybe you don't have hands. Just wings. You're an angel. Then why don't you spread your wings? I'm calling I'm yelling. But you don't hear me.
But I won't admit it. I won't admit you're my life. I won't admit any of these things. I'll carry on. There is a point and I can deny it. I'll lie to myself if that's needed to keep you near me. Nobody can prohibit me to love you. But nobody has to know it as well…
Normal POV.
Kaiba looked across the room and sighed. He really couldn't carry on like this. Every time he was in the same room as Yami he got nervous and felt totally out of place. He thought fervent, passionate thoughts and they were burning him to ashes. He felt embarrassed. He felt turned on. But when he once had started he couldn't find rest in his thoughts anymore. And today wasn't any exception.
Now. Why was Seto Kaiba in the same room as Yami? Simple, they were in the same school and in the same class. That's the price he had to pay for being so obsessed. He had chosen all the same subjects as Yami had and now got to see his secret love for almost half a day. Seto looked around the classroom. His staring at Yami was getting quite oblivious. Thanks God nobody had noticed it yet. Almost all of students were bored out of their minds and looked extremely miserably. Physics wasn't their favorite subject at all as it seemed and Seto just couldn't understand that. It was one of his favorites. What's wrong with everybody hating physics? It's so easy and it opens you a whole new world of possibilities and …nope, Seto was quite sure he was the only one in this classroom who not only liked but also understood physics.
He took another glance at Yami and almost chuckled. It seemed like Yami was gathering all of his strength just to make it through the lesson without looking too bored or like he didn't understanding a thing. Oh well. The pharaoh-side of this boy was still very alive. No, actually, he still was the same pharaoh as 3000 years ago. Seto had gained his memory of the past back some time ago and had been very disappointed that there hadn't happened a thing between him and Atemu. Oh well…you couldn't ask for everything, could you?
Yami yawned and tried even harder to stay awake and Seto couldn't hide a smile anymore. He was so cute. With his entire pride thing and wanting to look serious and mighty he failed quite miserable. But he tried to be a good actor. Seto remembered that already in the past Yami had often been bored to death by some of his duties. Now it wasn't any better as it seemed…
'stop thinking about him. Stop thinking about him. Just stop!' Seto realized that he had been thinking about only one person all the time and that pissed him off. Wasn't he really a sad person? He was a billionaire living in a huge mansion with a king-worthy garden and all the fastest and most expensive cars; still he was hankering after his rival like a lovesick puppy for his mother. Oh joy, if that wasn't sad then he didn't know what was. Seto tried to concentrate on what the teacher was saying…he couldn't understand a word. There just wasn't a place in his mind for anything other than Yami. God, he was sick…
At last the bell rang and half of the students woke up and flew out of the classroom at the speed of light. "Seminar after three weeks!" teacher managed to yell after them "please COPY these questions and WORK in pairs!" she added placing a sheet of paper onto Seto's desk.
'What the fuck?' the young CEO thought and looked at the teacher with a puzzled expression on his face. "Please be so kind and set up the groups, Seto. You know everyone in this class so the choice is all yours, I don't care." With that she got out of the classroom as well. Seto sighed, why he? WHY always HE?!
Suddenly he felt someone's arm on his shoulder and turned in anger to yell at whomever had dared to touch him but almost yelped as he realized it was Yami who looked over his shoulder at the sheet with topics for the physics seminar he held in his arms. Silence…
"Can you pair me up with yourself?" All of sudden Yami asked and Seto looked at him wide-eyed. "Well…you see. I don't really understand much from this physic…stuff…and I wondered if maybe you could help me out here…" he explained.
Seto wasn't able to say a word. He was sure that he just had made a fool out of himself in Yami's eyes but he kept staring. Yami hadn't bothered to ask him anything for more than half a year and now all of sudden he…Seto kept staring.
"Oh ok. It's okay if you don't want to talk to me. I just thought that if you have to make those pairs then it wouldn't make a big difference with whom you pair yourself up but if you really hate me THAT much then keep being an arrogant bastard" Yami hissed and angrily made his way out of the classroom. 'Now THAT was strange...' thought Seto and looked at the sheet in his hands. Just then his brains started to work again. Yami wanted to work with him. Yami with him! Pair! Yami…and he…working as a pair… he and Yami…together…a pair…
"Wait wait! I'll do what you asked! Wait Yami!" Seto shouted after the angry ex-pharaoh who stopped and looked at Seto in a surprise.
"God you're weird" he just commented and existed the classroom. Seto clenched his fists but said nothing. Ok. Yes, he was getting stranger and stranger with every day. But it was getting harder and harder with every day to control his emotions as well. It was… the bell rang and he realized it's time for the next lesson and he's going to be LATE!!!
