WANNA BET?
He was confessing it to him today.
He didn't want to, Ra, he really didn't…And just thinking about the consequences made him so scared that he couldn't even swallow properly.
Six months ago, he and his stupid friends had made a bet: He had to seduce and sleep with Yugi Motou -student council Vice-president and former target bullies target- within three months and then dump him. He could have all the fun he wanted in between.
He never expected to stumble into that bad old cliché and actually fall head over heels in love with the guy.
And who could not love Yugi? He was smart, funny, adorable, and a Ra-damn tease when he wanted to, and suddenly Yami realized that those three months had come and gone without him even noticing, that his time was up and the closest to sex he had gotten with Yugi was subtle caresses in his torso.
He also realized he didn't care.
He liked the relationship he had with Yugi, he liked to feel that he was in love with his best friend; he liked that sensation inside of his chest when he thought about him as his "Aibou", his better half.
So today, with his friends' complete opposition, he was confessing everything to Yugi, telling him how much he loved him, and begging him for a chance to start over.
Tonight, it would be the last night he'd had to live in a lie.
He was telling him today.
It ached in places he didn't even know he had, but as Yugi looked at himself in the mirror his mind kept telling him that it was the most dignified thing to do, no matter how much it hurt him, no matter how much he loved the guy.
He had been using him, and deep inside, he had known it.
It was just too strange that Atemu Sennen- the school player and official Heart-breaker- had suddenly settled down and wanted a serious relationship with him.
But he had been curious, he liked to play with fire, he wanted to know how it would be like…
He had ended up burned.
So today, in their fifth month anniversary, he was telling Yami he knew the truth, and then he would break up with him.
Jonouchi- Kun had been so right when he warned him about the dangers of getting himself involved with such a…man whore...but no, he just had to do it.
And then, when Jou had beaten the truth out of one of Yami's friends…the weight of the situation had fallen on his shoulders, and he had to accept and bow to the truth:
He was part of a bet.
Turning his face away from his reflection, Yugi gathered the last of his courage and headed to the front door, where his soon- to-be ex waited.
Tonight it would be the last night he suffered for it.
Yami took Yugi to a family restaurant, they ordered coffee and cupcakes, talked, laughed, touched…and every interaction between them was oddly different, unbearably awkward.
Once both of them had finished their coffee, he took a deep breath and said:
-Yami…
-Yugi I…
They eyes locked, nervous crimson staring into equally nervous mauve, they knew if they got lost in each other, like so many times before, it would be more painful, heart breaking for both.
So Yugi decided to take the first step and let Yami talk, after all, if he was breaking up with the guy he might as well allow him a last false love confession.
-Yugi I…- Yami's voice was shaking, as were his hands, and his was trembling, the guy was terrified. He closed his eyes- I…made a bet with my friends six months ago- Yugi's lifted his head, eyes wide in surprise was he actually…
-I had to…seduce you, have sex with you and then…- Yami gulped- dump you, and I had to do it within three months.
Yami looked at Yugi from the corner of his eye and his heart broke at the sight of Yugi's amazed and hurt face, such a beautiful face.
-And, I know this will sound cliché…I myself don't understand how it happened but…I'm in love with you, I love you, I really do and I was…hoping that perhaps we could…try again? - He finished lamely, looking at Yugi with fearful eyes.
Yugi blinked. This was not what he had expected, he never expected an "I love you", much less the truth…and now? What could he do?
-I knew it.
Yami's eyes widened to an almost impossible size.
-Wha…
-Jou…kind of interrogated one of your friends and he confirmed it. I had known for a while I was just…waiting for the right moment to tell you.
Yami's heart was squeezing, he could almost hear the rejection…
-And…what had you decided?
Yugi sighed and confessed
-I don't know anymore. I wasn't expecting for you to actually tell me truth first. This complicates all my plans…
Yami tried to recompose himself as he hesitantly took Yugi's hand
-Maybe…this shouldn't be complicated at all. I love you, and that's not going to change, whatever you decide. I already told you that I hate myself for being such an stupid bastard but…if you take me back I think…I'd be the happiest bastard on earth.- Yugi chuckled and Yami smiled.
-I'm not ready to forgive you, Yami. Not yet. Perhaps we can start over as friends? After all, you did come to me, and you did tell me truth. And we've been together for five months and you never even tried to…well…you know what I mean.
Yami nodded sadly, what else could he expect? Yugi was already being generous about it.
He paid the bill and escorted Yugi to his house, once in the doorstep he muttered a depressing "good night", but then…
-Oh, to hell with it!
Yami felt a pair of arms circling his neck and the touch of a soft, moist pair of well known lips on his own: Yugi was kissing him!
He wrapped his arms around the boy's waist and kissed back with passion, he felt something wet on his face but he didn't care whose tears they were, the only thing that mattered was there, holding him.
Yugi smiled in the kiss and whispered:
"If I'm already burned up, might as well turn to ashes."
So that's it, read and review, please. I'd like to know if you liked it, hated it, etc. :)
