Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh 5d's. I honestly don't own it. Please believe me.

Sidenote: School's started, and that means homework. So I won't be updating as often as I want, although I will try. My time is pretty limited, what with me having to make our costumes this year for Halloween (I'm gonna cosplay as an Akastuki member). So…yeah. Time is pretty…limited. Just enjoy the story. I might do another yaoi in the future, it's pretty fun to write.

--------------------------------

Yusei turned to look Jack in the face, and asked, "Go ahead. Ask away."

"I…I'm sorry."

"………"

"Listen. I know that this is insane, coming from me…but I was wrong to…hit you and reject you in…such a way."

"Is that it?" Yusei asked, his eyes boring into Jack.

"What?" Jack asked, confused.

"I accept your apology. In the future, don't push away so hard. You could really hurt a girl like that."

"What? Are you saying you're a gi-"

"No, of course not. It's just that since you're straight, you'd obviously be dating women in the future. Here's a hint…don't slap them. It'll leave them heartbroken."

Jack blushed at hearing those words from Yusei. Yusei walked to a drawer, and stored his wrench. He pulled out a soldering iron, and some flux. He walked back to his D-Wheel, plugged in his iron, and went back to work.

"Are you…letting me go?" Jack asked, his heart having fallen a little.

"…………" Yusei stopped working, and after a minute, he answered, "I…guess so. You don't love me. That much you made clear the other day. You said it yourself….that you'd never fall for me. And I know that if I force you to love me…you'll just hate me. I don't want that. It's fine Jack." Yusei sighed, and a tear fell down his face. Yusei pulled his head away so Jack wouldn't see, but Jack saw it fall from Yusei's eye.

"But…Yusei…I think that-"

"No. I can't make you mine. I'm so sorry Jack, for forcing my lips onto yours." Yusei dropped his tools, and ran out of the garage.

"YUSEI! WAIT!" Jack shouted at the top of his lungs, but the blonde couldn't keep up with Yusei. He was always the best runner out of the three of us…Jack thought. He stopped running, and went back to the garage.

I…I definitely hurt him…I'm such a jerk! I'm sorry Yusei. I truly am. Please…forgive me. Now…now he doesn't even want me to…fall for him because of what I said. I'm such a moron! Why did I have to say those things to him? Why? Thoughts raced through Jack's head, and he began gathering up the supplies Yusei had left behind. He stored them in their proper places, and he walked up the stairs to the door. He sighed a long sigh, and slowly walked home. To his surprise, when he entered his apartment, he found Aki inside.

"How did you get inside?" Jack asked.

"I found where you hid your emergency key. You really shouldn't have one," Aki explained, before noticing the look on Jack's face. "How did things go with Yusei?"

"Um…well he accepted my apology. And he said that he knew he shouldn't force his love onto me…and then he ran out. It…I think he was hurt badly by what I said."

"I would think so too." Aki walked over to Jack, and gave him a kiss. Jack didn't bother moving. He just accepted Aki, and let her kiss him until she was satisfied.

"Well?" asked Aki, looking Jack in the eyes.

"Well what?" Jack asked, confused.

"Did you enjoy the kiss or not?" Aki asked, rolling her eyes.

"OH! Um yeah."

"And by that, you mean no. You're lying to me Jack. You shouldn't lie to me. There's no point." Aki grabbed Jack by the shoulders, and told him, "You can tell me the truth."

"I'm serious. I-" Jack stopped talking at the murderous look on Aki's face, and he told her the truth. "OKAY OKAY! Don't kill me! It's true…I didn't enjoy our…kiss…" Jack hung his head down.

"And do you know why?" asked Aki.

"No. Why?" Jack asked, raising his heads slightly to look at Aki's face.

"It's because…you're not in love with me. You didn't enjoy the kiss because you long to…be kissed by someone else instead," Aki explained carefully to Jack, making sure he understood.

"How do you know?" asked Jack.

"Because…it's the same with me. I long to be held by Yusei's arms as well…Jack," Aki confessed, blushing slightly. Jack's eyes widened, and he pulled away from Aki.

"So…wait…that means that I love Yusei? Is that what you're sayi-"

"Don't you see it Jack? You didn't kiss me with all you had because you love Yusei! Why can't you understand that?!"

"I'm sorry! It's just that…so I…pushed him away for nothing. I'm…despicable…I'm a horrible…person." Jack began crying softly, not caring that Aki was there. He fell to his knees, and Aki knelt down and embraced Jack, attempting to comfort him.

"You're not…despicable. You were just having trouble accepting…your feelings. I'm sure that if you talk all of this over with Yusei…it'll all turn out fine. Listen to me Jack. Don't hold your love in. Chase Yusei with all of your heart, and…you'll win him," Aki said to Jack.

"You would…give up your love? For Yusei?" Jack asked in between sobs.

"I…I just want Yusei to be happy. It seems as if you're the only one who'll make him happy…and as long as Yusei is enjoying life, I can too…" Aki said, her eyes becoming red. She was letting Yusei go. Aki had done the most selfless thing a person in love could do. She gave up her love…for Jack…for Yusei.

Jack tightened his hold on Aki, and they comforted themselves together. Aki smiled, hoping Jack would do what was obvious.

"So what now?" Jack asked after a while. Aki slapped her head. Way to prove me wrong Jack.

"Isn't it obvious?" Aki asked him, a soft irritated edge to her voice.

"So I should go get him huh?"

"DUH!" Jack got up, and pulled Aki up. He took a bath, brushed his teeth, and combed his hair. He dressed in only a black t-shirt (very unlike him, ne?) and blue jeans. Before he left, he walked over to Aki and asked,

"Will you be okay?"

"This is about you…not me. Go chase him," Aki bid him off, her smile growing. She knew she was doing what was right.

Jack left, running down the stairs, and walking quickly towards Yusei's apartment.

~Meanwhile, in the time that Aki and Jack had been talking, Yusei had been talking to Crow. He had called him on the phone, asking him to come over. Crow being the nice guy he is, went over immediately to check up on Yusei.

"Come in," Yusei told Crow once he knocked on the door.

"What's wrong Yusei? You sounded…not yourself over the ph-"

"I know," Yusei sighed. "Have a seat. I need to talk with you."

"Again?" Yusei nodded. Crow sat himself down on a fold up chair, and placed his hands on his lap. "So…what's up?"

"Remember what you told me? That basically I should still go after them? Even if they said they didn't like me?" Crow nodded, and Yusei continued. "Well…I did what you said…and it kind of backfired."

"You know Yusei…never mind. Tell me what happened."

"Well…it ended up with that person telling me that they would never love me back after they slapped me. And Izayoi saw it all and ran away and it was all a huge mess," Yusei answered truthfully.

"Yusei…tell me who it is and maybe I'll be able to help even more," Crow said, half wanting to know who it was.

"I'm…afraid that…if I tell you you'll change yo-"

"No I won't. You'll always be one of my closest friends Yusei. So you can feel safe telling me."

"Really?" Crow nodded, assuring Yusei. Yusei looked at Crow and smiled a small sad one. He sighed one last time and answered, "The…it…okay, I can do this. It was…Jack…" Yusei lowered his head.

Crow's eyes opened, and his brain went into complete overtime. He could not believe that Yusei had been talking about Jack all the time. He was so certain it would have been a girl. But then he noticed the small tears falling and staining Yusei's pants. He got up, walked over to Yusei, and knelt down. He placed his hand on Yusei's chin, and lifted his head so that he could look Yusei in the eyes.

"You really shouldn't be so ashamed to tell me that. I told you I would always be your friend," Crow comforted. Yusei went from his chair to his knees, and hugged Crow close to him.

Crow hugged back after his brief moment of shock, although the action shouldn't have been so unexpected. "It's just that…hesiadhewouldneverloveme! And I LOVE HIM so much! I've known him forever…I…I just want to spend my days with him. I just want to be by his side forever. I…I…I……………………………………….I DON'T CARE IF HE COMPLETELY DESPISES ME!! I JUST……….as long as I can be…there for him…he'll…I'll be happy…" Yusei cried softly into Crow's chest, and Crow hugged Yusei closer.

He sighed, and then smiled, "Yusei…if you really love Jack…then you'll always want to be with him. I can't force you to do anything…but I can tell you what you should do. I think that you should…that the next time you see him, you tell him everything. I mean everything, from when you began loving him, to now. And see how it turns out. I really want you to be happy Yusei…because…if there's anyone in the world who…really deserves happiness…it's you. You've always been one to look out for others rather than yourself…and so now it's my turn to care for you. I know that I've been a jerk sometimes and so has Jack-"

"I know Jack can be a jerk sometimes…but it's one of those things that…that make me love him even more. And I don't want to act as if I'm completely selfish, but I want…to own him. I wanted to make him completely mine…and he…he-"

Crow pulled away from Yusei, and looked at him. Yusei stared into Crow's eyes, and he stopped himself from crying. Crow was smiling at him, and he gave Yusei a kiss. Yusei's eyes opened in shock, and he pulled himself away.

"What are you doing?" Yusei asked.

"Just checking to see what the hell the commotion is all about," Crow teased, not at all disgusted with himself that he had just kissed his best friend. Yusei stared at Crow, and gave a final 'thank-you.'

Crow left the apartment, praying to the God up in the sky that it would all turn out well for Yusei. I'm sure you'll do it Yusei. Please God…let him live life happily.

~Back at the apartment, Yusei heard someone knock on the door. He thought it was Crow. He probably forgot something, Yusei thought. He opened the door.

"Hello."
