This one-shot was pretty amazing, in my eyes. It does have a hint of Puppyshipping in it, but towards the end, it stays true to Puzzleshipping. :)

Hope you enjoy!

One Shot Number 2: Puzzleshipping (was given to dragonlady222)

Rated: T (minor language)

Genre: Romance

Plot: Yugi is in love with Yami but doesn't want to tell him. Yami is interested in Seto and is pursuing him much to Yugi's dismay. Then Yugi catches Seto with Joey and is afraid to tell Yami. What will Yugi do?

Yugi's P.O.V.

Why would someone put a note in Yami's locker?

I thought as I closed my locker and grabbed my small backpack and left the school slowly. A few days earlier, I saw a note fall out of Yami's locker. Yami opened the note and it said, Meet me on the rooftop before lunch. We had no idea who it could have been, but Yami said he would be in the lunchroom within ten minutes, he promised me. Little did he know, I followed him. How he didn't sense me, or see me, still shocks me to this day.

Anyway, I followed him, curious to see who wrote this note. I stopped once Yami made it up to the rooftop. I should have known. Seto Kaiba. I watched them both talk: short, simple, and to the point. I heard something about a card game, coming to Kaiba Land, and- My breath hitched up in my throat. I closed my eyes, trying to hide away the pain. It didn't work.

Seto was kissing Yami, in front of me, without them knowing at all. Truth be told, I knew that Seto was a manizer: he goes after all the guys I've been friends with. Joey? Check. Yami? Check. Duke? Well, almost everyone I'm friends with.

I shook my head, the tears flowing down my face without me even knowing! I've loved Yami the moment he saved me long ago. I thought from the beginning that we had a special bond, a connection no-one else could imitate. He held my hand, he has helped me with homework, he's even hugged me-

I ran downstairs as fast I can. Passing the teachers, the students, my friends, everything. I ran to the first emptiest classroom and fell to my knees. After all this time, I knew that he wouldn't be mine. I prayed and hoped every night that one of my wishes would come true. I should've known: it was all a hoax. Maybe I'm a coward. Maybe I should have told him I loved him sooner and maybe he would have fallen for me and not for Seto. I rubbed my eyes for the millionth time as I heard someone knocking on the door.

"Yug'? Are ya okay? I saw ya runnin' and I thought somethin' horrible happened."

Joey. God, if I wasn't so deep in love with Yami, I might've fallen for him. He cares for me more than Yami, more than anyone else in my closet knit of my friends. I get up and open the door, smiling.

"Yeah, I am. I had to get away from the outdoors-my allergies." I admitted. Joey tilted his head and put his hand behind my back.

"Oh. But, I know somethin' is eatin' inside of ya. Why don't ya tell me?"

I shook my head. "It's nothing. Maybe I thought I failed my Calculus test and was thinking the worst."

Joey smiled. "I don't think ya havta worry! You were tutorin' me, remember?"

I nodded and pulled my shirt down. "True, true. Anyways, do you want to go with lunch with me? I need an eating buddy."

"Of course! I sure hope dey are servin' pizza today!" Joey wondered as I shrugged. The memory of Seto and Yami kissing-It burnt a hole in my heart. It stained my eyes, permanently. I think that even though my love might've been unrequited, I guess that I'll still love him with all my heart. Perhaps, I don't even know what true love really is...

It's been one week since they started dating. I think I haven't smiled ever since, maybe to fool some people to believe that I'm fine. Joey seemed to be a little heated, in a couple classes, but nothing else. Perhaps that his crush on Seto has finally diminished to nothingness? Does he feel the way I feel? We want to be with someone, but that's impossible now.

I shook my head as I slipped into the bathroom. I stopped when I heard Seto's and Yami's voice. They were speaking in whispers, and I felt my heart dropped into the ground even more.

"Listen, why are you pursing me? I thought-"

"You thought wrong, Yami." Seto murmured.

"Oh, really? What's up with you and I? I thought you wanted Joey-"

Seto crossed his arms. "Hell no. That mutt belongs in a kennel, not with me."

If Joey heard that- I shook my head as I tried to stay quiet.

"As if I would believe that. With those looks you give him in class-" Seto grabbed Yami's shoulders and shoved him into the wall. I peeked around the corner, making sure no one knew I was there.

"But, you do know that I look at you before and after class, right?"

Yami gulped as Seto leaned down towards his lips. I tripped-on nothing-as my books and binders fell everywhere in front of myself. I could have died from embarrassment.

"Who's there?" Seto called out to as I backed far from them and into a wall. I stayed in my spot, cemented to the ground, as Yami approached the corner.

"Yugi?" He asked, softly, as I put my head down, hiding my face from Yami. Seto walked up behind him, grunting. "It could have been worse."

I nodded as I bent down and picked everything up in mach speed. "S-sorry. I was going to go t-to the bathroom, but I heard you both talking and-I'm sorry." I murmured and left the bathroom awfully fast. Yami rubbed his eyes and slowly got up from the ground.

"I still love him..." Yami murmured to himself as Seto walked in front of him.

"I still love you." Seto pointed out as he kissed Yami's cheek and left the bathroom gracefully. Yami placed his hand on his cheek and rubbed it really hard, trying to erase the mark Seto left on him.

I could still fall for you. Yami thought as he walked out of the bathroom himself. But you better play your cards right.

I kept watching Yami and Seto walking awfully close to each other every day after that. It made me so sad, mad, and sick to my stomach. I just wanted Yami to give me all the attention that Seto was getting. I shook my head and wandered the hallway, to my next class the next day. Joey was keeping an eye out on me, Yami, and Seto, just in case something got fishy.

By the time school was over, I was just ready for the weekend. I grabbed my binder for my AP science class, and other miscellaneous stuff, as I saw Joey chasing after someone. I turned to see him yelling at the CEO.

"Dammit, Kaiba! Get yer sorry ass back here! I'm not done talkin' with ya!"

"But I am, mutt."

Joey took his jacket off and threw it on the ground. "I don't care what ya do ta me, just don't hurt my friends-mentally nor physically-and we'll get along well. But, it seems dat ya already have!"

Seto crossed his arms and turned to face Joey. "And?"

Joey raised an eyebrow. "And? Dat's all ya can say?"

"Yes. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go to work and make a living." He glared at the blond as Joey pushed the brunet up the stairs and up towards the rooftop. Everyone just ignored them, it was always common to see Joey yelling at Seto for something, but I didn't. I really wanted to expose Seto for the person he was.

Slowly, I dropped my backpack by the stairs, for an easy escape, as I followed the duelists up the stairs. The door at the end was propped open just a hair, as I put my ear to the door and listened very closely.

"Kaiba, do ya know how injured Yugi is? Are ya tryin' to fuck with his mind?"

The CEO shook his head. "No. I just simply love Yami."

"Why not consider what Yugi has been through for the past year or so? He doesn't need more heartbreak as it is."

I shuddered at the thought. I know that I lost Yami once, but I'm not losing him again.

"So?" Seto looked over at the blond who was glaring daggers at him. "I've loved someone for one year plus, and when he didn't even notice, I gave up and moved on. Yami was the next person on my list of Guys I Want To Screw Before I Die."

Joey shoved Seto to the ground. "How dare ya! I can't believe dat ya, of all people, would have somethin' like dat! Dammit, I didn't think ya were DAT stupid!" Joey closed his eyes, his fist was clenching Seto's shirt very tightly.

"Hey, shit happens. Let me go," Seto reached for Joey's hand and smiled, "and we won't tell anyone anything."

"Bullcrap. I know ya all too well, Kaiba! You'd tell Yami, who will eventually tell Yugi. Nah, I'm not lettin' ya get dat far."

Seto's eyelids closed halfway while looking at the heated blond.

"You know, you do look cute when you're mad."

Joey shot his mouth open and that was Seto's shot to turn the tables on them. Seto was now on top of Joey and he was on the cold ground where Seto was. I gripped my shirt, trying to calm down my heart, as I still watched what was happening.

"I'm just playing with Yami." Seto admitted. I gasped softly and started to get up from my little hiding spot behind the door. "Perhaps, I could make him jealous...if I use you."

"Hell no! Will ya get offa me?" Joey yelled as Seto leaned his face closer to the blond's own. "Huh?"

"Why not fall for me? I'll drop Yami off the cliff, and fall for you." Seto said wittingly as I shook my head.

"Don't do it." I whispered as Joey shook his head.

"He's my friend. I'm not doin' dis."

"Mutt, it's only Yami. He wouldn't do anything horrible to you or I. If he hurts you," Seto lowered his eyelids and smiled, "I would hurt him back."

I silently gasped when I saw Seto kissing Joey on the lips. "Joey! Stop him! Don't let him do this to you!" I whispered to myself as I saw Seto releasing his hold on Joey's lips.

"So? What do you think? Am I a good kisser?" Seto asked as Joey closed his eyes and put his arm over his eyes.

"Why does dis always happen ta me? All dis drama shit..."

Seto grabbed Joey's arm and moved it above his head. "...Sorry. But, I don't think I can hold myself back..." Seto admitted. Joey and Seto started to make out as I turned my head away, my eyes tightly closed.

I couldn't believe that Seto was cheating on Yami with Joey! But, were they really dating in the first place? Were they dating? But, they haven't kissed, or hold hands, or-

I stopped short and started to run down the stairs, back to where his backpack is. Grabbing my backpack gracefully, I ran out of the front doors and straight into someone.

"I-I'm so sorry! I didn't see where I was-"

"Yugi?"

"Yami!" I gasped as I tried to catch my breath. "I should have been more careful."

"Why were you running? Was someone after you?" He put his hands on my shoulders. I shook my head.

"Much worst."

Yami raised an eyebrow. "How could it be much worse?"

Seto's making out with Joey. Can I easily say that?

I shook my head and let out a gasped laugh. Yami crossed his arms as I gripped my backpack a little tighter. "It's nothing. I can deal with it by myself. Something...stupid."

"Are you sure? If someone's hurting you, I'll deal with them."

If only you knew it was Seto...

"Umm... I'm going to go home. I'll talk to you later?" I called out as I ran away from Yami in a heartbeat. "Bye!"

Yami grabbed his own backpack, stuffed his books in, and stared back at the school. "What is up with Yugi? Guess I'm going to have to find out."

I put my backpack on the ground and landed on the couch with a plop. I rubbed my eyes, letting my tears fall down without a care in the world. How can I tell Yami that Seto was making out with Joey right now? I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"What a mess..." I turned the TV on, but somehow turned the music player on. "Oh, I grabbed the wrong remote... Darn it..." I murmured as the song, My Hands by Leona Lewis.

How weird that the radio station was playing this right now.

I slowly drifted into a deep sleep and started to dream. In my dream, I saw what happened to look like Yami and Seto. In between them were threads of web, stretching out until they disappeared. I turned to his right and saw Joey right next to Seto, and the strands between them wasn't yarn, but rope-strong, sturdy rope-as I turned back to my left. I saw that Yami and myself were connected by something. I grabbed whatever was in front of me and grinned.

It was a chain that was connecting us. The chain from the Millennium Puzzle. A chain can be undone, but with patience and time the chain can reform again. It will change, but with stay the same. I thought as I ran up to Yami's hand and grabbed it tightly, smiling until my cheeks hurt.

"Yugi? Hey." I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "Ugh..." I moaned as I turned to see Yami looking at me.

"Are you okay? You were crying in your sleep." I touched my cheek and Yami was right. I was crying.

"Huh..." But, why was I crying? I was having a decent, happy dream-

Yami crouched down to my height and sighed. "What has been going on with you?"

-I was crying because our connection was the strongest, and that no one can really break it.

I shook my head, rubbing my eyes and cheeks of the evidence of tears.

"Nothing! Just really tired and had a rough week."

"Do I need to enter your mind?"

I turned to face him. "You can still do that?"

"Want me to try?" Yami questioned as I closed my eyes. "Well?"

I grabbed Yami's hand and led him outside to the patio on the back porch. "Follow me." Yami had to and within seconds we were sitting down in a hammock, looking up at the stars.

"So, do I have to-"

"Seto's cheating on you." I blurted as Yami turned to me.

"What-?"

"I saw him and Joey making out on the rooftop today. I didn't want to tell you, since you might be heartbroken, and how Seto was treating you seemed really awkward. I was really too scared to do anything, like that time in the bathroom, where I dropped everything and Seto was really mad-"

Yami put a finger to my lips, hushing him. "I figured that something was up between him and Joey."

I blinked. "You knew?"

"In a way, no. But I figured that when Seto was eying Joey more than me, I was getting the hint. Besides, I think Joey can tame the asshole better than I can."

"Why do you say that?"

Yami leaned down towards my small face and flashed a smile. "Because I like the ones who are cute and easier to tame, like you." He touched my nose with his index finger as I covered my cheeks with my hands.

"Yami! Why do y-you have to d-do that to m-me?"

"I love you." Yami admitted as I shot my eyes up to Yami.

"...You do?"

Yami nodded. "For a while. I have to give you props. You stayed strong while I was dating Kaiba. I never saw you get angry or mad. Perhaps, that's why I like being with you. No one who yells, gets angry, the usual Seto Kaiba stuff."

"I really wanted you two to break up for a long time!" I admitted, as Yami flashed me another pearly white smile.

"Really? Well, I wished you would have told me sooner. I would have broke up with Kaiba sooner!" Yami pointed out as I put his head down.

"Thanks..."

"But," Yami grabbed my face with his soft hands and tilted his own head, "you were the better choice in the first place, Yugi."

He leaned down to kiss me on the lips. My face blushed slightly red as Yami released his lips from my soft, small ones. "I just love how you blush at everything."

"Yami..." I grabbed Yami into a tight embrace and smiled. "I love you, too."

"Good. I'm not letting you go, just so you know, anymore."

"Me neither." I promised as we both sat under the stars, rocking back and forth in the hammock, in a tight embrace. It takes courage to stand up to anything that scares you. For me, it seems that nothing will scare me anymore with Yami by my side.

So, the ending was cute, right? I first wrote most of this story in 3rd person POV, but then I changed it into 1st with Yugi, and I thought it was better that way.

Well, what do you all think?
