High School Sweethearts: A Close Call and Feelings Known

The Present

"You beat up a group of twenty men, dad." Mark said as he watched his father with impressed eyes.

"Yeah." Marcus said.

"Also you got your fighting spirit and personality from your father." Mia said.

"Really?" Mark said.

Mia nodded.

"About me and Mika?" Moe said.

"You two take after your mother and a good thing too." Marcus said.

Mark pouted when he realized what his father meant.

Moe, Mika, Kisara and Yama giggled.

Luke, Alex, Set and Max chuckled.

Rex and Mason laughed.

"So, what happen next?" Mark asked as he ignore the laughing teens.

"It was two weeks, which was a month if you added the other two weeks, after the kidnapping and -" Yugi said.

Seventeen years ago

The group sat in their unusual spot at lunch.

"Damn it!" Afekia said.

"This sucks!" Mariku cursed.

Atem, Yami, Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Marik, Malik, Seth, Seto, Joey, Marcus and Mia knew why the two were angry.

They still didn't know who paid those men, but they found out that the men were suppose to kidnap Yugi, Ryou, Malik, Joey and Mia.

The men mistaken Yami, Bakura, Marik and Marcus for Yugi, Ryou, Malik and Mia and thought that Seto was Joey, which was an insult to both of them.

Now the men are in jail for kidnapping and attempting to hurt the kidnapped people .

But they were glad that there were no more kidnapping and the incident bought them all closer, especially Marcus and Mia.

At lunch, the two sneak peeks at each other when the other isn't looking.

It annoyed their friends to no end.

"I wish that they will stop tip-toeing around each other and confess their feelings." Yami whispered to his boyfriend.

"Yeah." Atem whispered back.

Marcus and Mia reached for the same napkin when their hands touched.

They looked at each other as their friends held their breaths.

Mia quickly moved her hand and looked away, blushing.

Marcus hid his blushing face with his hair as he took the napkin.

Their friends quietly groaned when the two ruined the chance that they just had to confess their feelings.

In class

Marcus was watching Mia as she wrote her notes.

He sighed.

Unknown to him, he was being watched.

Yami, Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Marik, Malik, Seto and Seto shook their heads at how love-sick Marcus was as he watched Mia.

"Today I am getting a two people assignment. I have picked who be in a group, their country and place them on a list at the back of the classroom." The teacher announced.

The class moved to the back and looked at the list.

"Looks like we have Egypt, Abiou." Yami said as he smiled at Yugi, who blushed.

"Partners with Ryou and London." Bakura said.

"Malik and I have America." Marik said.

"Italy and Joey is my partner." Seto said as Joey smirked at him.

Ryou looked t Marcus and Mia and gasped.

Yami, Yugi, Bakura, Marik, Malik, Seto and Joey heard his gasp and looked at him.

They looked up at Marcus and Mia.

The two were blushing as Marcus looked the side and Mia had her head down.

The group looked at the list and saw why they were blushing.

"Mia and Marcus are partners and their country is Greece." Malik said.

"This is so awkward for them." Joey said.

When classes was over, Mia was at her locker as she placed her books in her locker.

"Hello, cutie." A voice purred.

Mia turned her head and saw a boy, who was about Marcus's age.

The boy had lightly tanned skin, blond hair and brown eyes.

"Drake." Mia said as she narrowed her eyes at the boy.

"That's my name, beautiful." The boy named Drake said as he tried to caress Mia's cheek with his hand.

Mia slapped his hand away.

Drake was one of the five guys, who wanted Mia in their beds.

Drake thought that Mia would fall for him like the other girls that he slept with, but Mia was proven a challenge because she wasn't intersected in guys, who wanted only sex.

"What do you want?" Mia asked, not so friendly.

"Is that obvious? It is you." Drake said as he reached out again.

Mia slapped his hand away again and said "Didn't I told that I am not intersected in one nightstands."

"Mia, Mia, Mia. I'm rich. I will buy you anything if you go out with me." Drake said as he thought that he solved the problem.

"Money can't buy love, Drake. You are just a guy, who use money to get with girls and pay them to be quiet about you sleeping with them. I'm the only girl, who wasn't fallen for your charms and not going to start now." Mia said as she closed her locker and tried to walk away.

Drake grabbed her arm and slammed Mia against the lockers.

"I will not let you get away. I always get what I want and when I want it." Drake said as he held Mia's hands above her head and pinned Mia's body to the lockers with his.

Mia held fear in her eyes as Drake lowered his head.

She turned her head, so Drake kissed her cheek.

Mia whimpered when he started kissing down her face to her neck.

One of his hands that holding her wrists together, touched her flat chest and slipped down her shirt.

Mia let her tears fell as Drake's hand was about to slip into her skirt.

That lasted until Drake was pulled up of Mia.

"What the-" Drake stopped as he turned his head and looked into angry slit pupils, dark green eyes of Marcus.

Marcus was growling as Drake backed away.

"Marcus, it's nice to see you again." Drake said, nervously.

"Drake." Marcus hissed.

Marcus and Drake were friends in middle school until their friendship broke when they enter high school.

Drake, other than Atem, Afekia, Mariku and Seth, knew how violent Marcus can be when he is mad.

"Mind telling why you were touching my Mia?" Marcus hissed.

"I-" Drake started.

"Well?!" Marcus said.

"She came onto me!" Drake said, quickly.

"Oh really? It didn't look like that you was holding Mia against her will as you tried to have sex with her." Marcus said, calmly.

Drake knew that Marcus said the statement, too calmly that means that Marcus was close to snapping.

"You said that she came onto you, but you came onto her and was about to attempt to rape her." Marcus said, calmly as Drake backed away.

"Marcus, I-" Drake started.

"Get the fuck out of my hallway!" Marcus snapped.

Drake took off down the hallway.

Marcus turned his head to a shaking Mia.

His anger quickly changed to concern.

"Are you alright, Mia?" Marcus asked as he placed a hand on Mia's cheek, causing her to look up at him.

He mentally growled when he saw Mia's tears and made a mental note to find Drake and make him, a woman permanently.

"I'm fine." Mia said as she touched his hand with hers.

Marcus smiled before he stared into her eyes.

Unknown to him, he leaned down and kissed Mia on the lips.

Mia stiffed before she wrapped her arms around Marcus's neck and deepened the kiss.

Marcus licked her bottom lip for entrance, which Mia granted.

His tongue mapped Mia's moist cavern before coaxing her tongue into playing.

They broke the kiss for air.

"I love you." Mia said as she looked at Marcus.

Those words shocked Marcus because they were the same words that he wanted Vanessa to say to him.

"I love you too." Marcus said as he kissed Mia again with tears rolling down his face.

He was so happy that he finally said the words that he wanted to say to Vanessa before they broke up and now that person that he said it to, loved him as well.

Unknown to them, a pair of angry eyes watched them before disappearing.

Marcus - Me and Mia are finally together!
