Lexi: Well, I guess you guys actually liked it ^_^ I wasn't really expecting that! So I decided updating would probably be a good idea.

Ummmm one quick thing: I don't know everything about Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's because I haven't watched in a while and only saw random episodes out of sequence. So I don't know everything that is going on in the series right now. Therefore, this is just set in some time when Yusei and Jack are both famous duelists. I guess it's sort of an AU fic...

Sorry for the delay anyways :) Here is the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own YGO 5D's! *glares at lawyers* so do not sue me!

A bit of light shined through the window and made its way onto the bed. Jack yawned softly and woke from his sleep.

He instantly took notice of the fact this his arms were still draped around Yusei's sleeping form. His hair was a mess and his clothes had gotten bloody from his friend.

Yusei just continued resting against him. Though Jack didn't mind the closeness. He slowly began running his hand gently through Yusei's soft locks of hair. The boy leaned into his touch and let out a small sigh.

Jack took a moment to examine what was showing above the blanket. Yusei had some cuts and scratches on his face. And it seemed like his upper arms had bruises on them. Just the thought that someone would do this on purpose to Yusei made him feel like screaming and crying at the same time.

The worst part was that nobody knew this had happened, and he wasn't there to stop it. Jack instantly felt more protective of the teen in his arms and pulled him closer to his body.

He heard a groan of pain and peered down at him. Yusei had both eyes open, looking at him cautiously. Jack could tell a hint of fear was there too.

"Yusei," he asked hesitantly,"are you okay?"

He heard a soft, "No," in reply. Jack realized this was the first time Yusei had talked since he found him.

"Are you ready to talk about it?"

Yusei just shook his head slowly and buried his face into Jack's chest. He ran his hands slowly down his back until he noticed Yusei's breath hitch.

"Oh, I'm sorry I-" he began apologizing for touching Yusei after what he had just been through.

"No, it's fine. I-it feels good," Jack's hands resumed what they had been doing. He was happy that Yusei was at least talking some.

Jack glance at the clock. There was only an hour until his big duel.

"Yusei?"

"Hmmmm?" he mumbled.

"Are you going to miss the duel? I can just tell them to cancel it, if you wish."

"No, I- I'll duel. I can't let everyone down because of me," Yusei said quietly.

"Are you sure? Dueling in your state may not be the best thing..." Jack didn't think anyone else could possibly do something like this right after they had been raped.

Yusei gave a small smile to him.

"I can make it through one duel Jack. I'm not that fragile."

Yusei slowly pulled the blankets down and sat up. Then he remembered that he lacked clothes.

"Uhhhh," he coughed.

Jack watched as he revealed more of his body from under the blanket. He couldn't move his gaze from what had just been shown to him.

At the cough, he snapped back to reality and turned away from his naked friend. A blush went onto his face from being caught staring.

"S-sorry," he muttered.

Yusei acted as if he hadn't noticed him looking and brushed off the apology.

He pulled on a pair of baggy jeans off the ground and threw on a black t-shirt. Yusei slipped the converse shoes onto his feet and tied the laces.

Looking back at Jack he gave a small, sad smile.

"I'll be fine Jack," knowing his friend was worrying about if he should really be dueling right now.

"Can I just ask you one question?"

"Hmmm," he mumbled, giving his consent. Yusei grabbed his deck from off his deck.

"Do you know who it was?"

Yusei's eyes widened for a moment before reverting to their normal state.

"No, I didn't recognize them," Jack noticed that his friend's messy hair didn't detract from his beauty in the slightest. If anything, it only added to it.

"Okay," he decided to drop the subject for now.

"We should be going now," Yusei said quietly.

Jack nodded and got up from the bed, straightening his clothes.

The two walked out of the door, leaving behind all of the things that had happened in that room.

Lexi: Ehhh sorry for the long wait inbetween chapters. First I had to decide whether or not I even wanted to make it a multi-chaptered fic. Then, I wrote most of it and stopped. When I went back to finish it, I thought it was like total shit... So I restarted and am just now updating :)

I have a few ideas of how to make this into an actual story. I cant guarantee it will be really long, but it will continue ^_^

I want at least 25 reviews total on the story before I update. Reviewing only takes a few seconds! Please don't be lazy, it really doesn't take very long! Good-bye my peeps!

XOXO
