It makes me so happy to know that all of you guys like this story! =D

I hope you like this chapter! Review please!

Last night had been horrible, and the morning wasn't any better. Seth hadn't came back and Atem had gone into tears again, it had taken Yugi five minutes for him to calm down long enough so that he could drive to school without having to pull over because he could no longer see. Yugi wished he could do something else besides reassure Atem that Seth would come back, he just needed to give him some time to calm down about what happened.

As Yugi walked into his english classroom his thoughts were of his counterparts relationship. He routinely walked to the back off the classroom and sat down in his seat right as the bell rung. Everyone else also already in their seats and silent, awaiting to hear what they would be doing today. Since the book projects were over no one had a clue as to what they could be possibly doing next. Yugi hoped that it wasn't another project.

When he heard Kaiba start speaking he gazed up to look at him.

"Today you will all need one of these blue books." Kaiba held up a large blue book then placed it back down on his desk. "You will be working with the person sitting next to you. On page 145 will be a very short story. You need to read it together and answer the four questions afterwards." he explained simply.

The class got out their notebooks and pencils and one person from each table got two books from Kaiba to bring back to their table.

"Do you mind going to go get the books? I can take them back after we're done." Tea said.

"Sure." Yugi muttered. Wishing he had said no. Yugi got up and hesitantly made his way up to Kaiba's desk. When he was in front of Kaiba he was handed two of the blue books, blushing when he felt Kaiba's hand slide over his. He mumbled a thanks before turning swiftly and going back to the desk to place the books down.

"Why are you so red?" Tea asked as she slid one of the blue books in front of her. Opening it up to the page they were supposed to be on.

"I am? Oh. I don't know." Yugi replied stupidly. If Tea believed that then she was really dimwitted. He grabbed the other book to place in front of him and open it up to the page, then opened up his notebook to a clean page.

"Hmm." she mumbled like suspecting something before changing the subject. "So, would you like to read first or should I?"

"You can if you want to." Yugi replied. He glanced up to the front to see Kaiba watching him blush, like is somehow amused him. Yugi knew he turned even redder. Why was he even looking at him? Besides for the fact he was blushing like crazy. Yugi turned his attention back to his book, he had a feeling that Kaiba was doing this on purpose. Like he really enjoying making Yugi uncomfortable.

"Ok. I'll start then." she said while beginning to read the story.

Yugi tried to listen but it was so hard due to the fact that he could still feel eyes burning holes in him. Why was Kaiba doing this to him? it wasn't like he couldn't help blushing. Every time he simply looked at Kaiba he turned into a cherry.

After a few short minutes that felt like hours to Yugi he felt Tea tap him on the shoulder. He glanced over to her with a curious expression.

"It's your turn now." she stated. Seeming a little weary of Yugi for some reason, like she knew something was wrong.

"Oh ok, where did you leave off at?" he asked.

She suddenly glared slightly. "Were you even listening to me?"

Yugi gave her a sorry expression. "No… I'm sorry…"

Tea sighed after a moment then pointed to the spot where she had stopped. "So far I've read that it's about a family who had to escape their house from a fire."

"Ok." Yugi then started reading as best he could. Not much of what he read sunk in though due to how nervous he was, he could still feel Kaiba's cold blue eyes staring at him. Soon it got to the point where Yugi could no longer take it. He suddenly stopped reading before standing up.

"What are you doing?" Tea asked as Yugi began to walk away.

"Bathroom." he managed to say before turning back to look forward. He noticed now Kaiba was no longer looking at him. When Yugi was standing before his desk he glanced up at Yugi, waiting to hear what he wanted.

"May I go to the bathroom?" he asked shyly. Really not wanting to keep eye contact with him.

Kaiba stared at him for a long moment before nodding.

"Thank you." he muttered before turning and quickly exiting the classroom. He ran down the hallway and into the bathroom. He didn't actually have to go but he just needed to get away from those eyes.

Yugi stood in front of the mirror now and gazed at himself. His blush wasn't very bad now, he was just a little pink. Why had Kaiba done that to him? He knew that he liked him, so why would he torture him like that? Like he knew Yugi couldn't focus when he was looking at him and like he knew that every time he was looking at him he would blush like that besides not being able to focus. Then why had he touched his hands like that? Yugi knew he could have handed him the books without even touching him, but he had to slide his hands over Yugi's. Probably just to torture him even more.

What Kaiba was doing was incredibly unfair, and he had to know it. This was a great factor of why he was beginning to get a bad grade in his class, because Kaiba made things so hard to focus. Maybe he should just switch out of that class and had a new english teacher, that way he knew he'd pass the class. Though a part of him still wanted to stay in this class, he liked being with Joey and if he didn't have this english class then he'd never see Kaiba again. If he switched out of his english class then he would switch out of the study hall class too.

If Yugi did that he wouldn't see Joey all day except for lunch. Plus doing that might change his whole schedule, which meant he may not have the art class with Atem anymore either. He would hate if he didn't have any more class's with his friends. That would make school much harder to get through.

When all traces of the blush disappeared from his face Yugi quickly left the bathroom and returned to class.

As he walked back in he paid no mind to anything else as he returned to his seat.

"Feel better now?" Tea questioned.

Yugi nodded.

"Well I already went through and read the rest of the story while you were gone. I also finished the questions so you can copy them if you want to." she said. Pushing over her notebook so Yugi could see it.

"Thanks." Yugi replied while grabbing his pencil and notebook. He hastily wrote down everything Tea had then closed the notebook once he was done. Yugi glanced over to the clock seeing that there was about five more minutes left, they'd finished just in time.

"Close your books and bring them up to me. Also bring your notebooks up and place them down on my desk in a neat stack." Kaiba instructed.

Tea grabbed the books and notebooks and walked up to Kaiba's desk to give him the books then place the two notebooks on his desk. After everyone had done that the bell rung and everyone left the classroom, Yugi made sure that this time he wasn't the last.

xXxXx

At lunch Yugi sat at the normal table outside with all of his friends. He'd gotten a hamburger from one of the lunch lines but wasn't sure if he wanted to eat it or not. So instead he picked up a french fry every once and a while and ate that instead. Most of his attention had gone to Atem who was sitting staring at his salad, randomly stabbing at it but not eating. Yugi frowned at him, wishing there was something he could do to cheer him up.

"Hey Yuge." Joey called to get his attention.

Yugi glanced over to Joey and rose an eyebrow.

"I asked Mr. Kaiba if there was something I could do for extra credit to bring up my grade, and he said if I wrote an essay about something and it was good enough he'd raise my grade. Since you got an A on the last essay do you think you could give me an idea about what to write about?" Joey questioned.

"Um…" Yugi trailed.

"Dolphins." Tristan suddenly blurted.

Joey glanced to him and glared. "Is your name Yugi? And why the hell would I write about dolphins?"

Tristan shrugged. "It was just a suggestion."

"I asked Yugi not you! I don't wanna write about damn dolphins!" Joey barked. Then looking back at Yugi.

Tristan glared then went back to eating.

"I'm honestly not really sure… just write about something that's interesting to you." Yugi confessed.

"The thing is I can't think of anything!" Joey growled. Placing both of his elbows on the table to run his hands through his hair in a frustrated motion.

"Then how about something historical?" Yugi suggested.

Joey looked up to glare. "I don't wanna write about something that would bore me to tears!"

Yugi sighed. "Then I don't know what to say Joey…"

"Why don't you write about the job you want after you get out of high school?" Atem stated a little quietly then how he normally spoke.

Joey glanced to him and nodded. "Now that's a good idea! I could write about that!" Joey all of a sudden stood up. He ran over to the trash to throw away the rest of his lunch, and ran past the table shouting a bye as he pasted.

"Where is he going in such a hurry?" Duke asked. Watching as he ran towards the school.

"Probably the media center to start his paper." Tristan replied.

Yugi nodded in agreement. "I've never seen him run so fast to start a paper."

"Yeah, and I wonder if he knows his shoe is untied." Tea stated.

After a moment the four of them laughed about it and turned back to their lunch.

xXxXx

When his fifth class of the day ended Yugi was already heading towards study hall. Now he was really worried about Atem, he was never one to skip class's but he hadn't been in art. Had he gone home early? Or was he somewhere else in the school? Yugi didn't know but he hoped that he was ok where ever he was. Yugi pulled out his phone and glanced to it, not seeing a text so Atem must still be at school. If he'd gone home he would have texted him about it. Still he'd been so distant today that Yugi wasn't really sure what to expect he would do right now.

What was happening with Seth was really taking its toll on Atem. If only Seth knew how badly he was hurting Atem then maybe he would come back. After all he knew that he loved his counterpart very much, if he didn't come back then Yugi must not have really known that much about him. Yugi wondered if Atem even slept last night, he seemed to have calmed after they talked but who knows what happened when he went to his bedroom.

As Yugi was just about to enter the study hall classroom, Joey was just walking out of it.

Yugi turned to call out to him. "Where are you going?"

Joey glanced back over his shoulder. "Media center, bye!" he shouted back before walking a little faster.

Yugi was surprised how serious he was taking this essay. He must really want to raise his grade. Yugi then walked in the classroom and took a seat at a table nearest to the door which was only a few steps up that led to desks that were more bunched together in the classroom. The layout in here was much different then all of the other classrooms, it kinda reminded him of a collage classroom. Once he was situated he pulled out a math worksheet that he'd received and started working on that.

xXxXx

When the bell rang Yugi had just finished the worksheet which meant no homework. Now when he got home he could hopefully figure out what was going on with Atem. Hopefully he hadn't left school so at least he could talk to him, and have a ride home. After Yugi was standing he pulled the straps of his backpack over his shoulders and headed out of the classroom.

"Yugi."

The boy stopped hearing Kaiba call his name. Why had he done that? Was he going to yell at him some more? Yugi turned as the last of the students left the classroom.

Kaiba stood up. "Shut the door."

Yugi turned towards the door. He thought about running away having a really bad feeling about this, but shut the door instead.

"Come here." Kaiba told him.

Yugi stared at him for a long moment before slowly making his way towards Kaiba. When he was standing in front of him, he moved his hands behind him to lock in place and look down at the ground. Unable to look at him any longer. "I've been trying to get over it… I really have." Yugi confessed. Having a feeling that it was about his crush on him. When he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder he looked up at Kaiba. His expression was one Yugi had never seen before.

"Yugi…" Kaiba trailed. Turning the boy and forcing him to walk back into the wall.

When Yugi was pinned to the wall and Kaiba was towering over him he felt instantly afraid. What was he going to do to him? He wasn't going to hurt him, was he? Yugi knew if he did he couldn't fight him off. Kaiba was much taller and most likely stronger than him. But Kaiba didn't seem like the kind of person who would, but he barely knew him. There could be a lot he didn't know about Kaiba.

He gazed down at Yugi for what felt like minutes on end. He almost seemed to be debating something.

Yugi also continued to stare up at him. Wondering what he was going to do and what was going on in his head.

Suddenly he reached down his hand to touch Yugi's cheek, who flinched slightly but didn't try to get away. His fingers, after spending time just resting on his cheek began wandering around his face. Moving over the side of his face, trailing along his chin, and skimming gently over his lips.

"What… what are you doing to me…" Yugi asked in a whisper. He didn't know if he should be afraid anymore or give in to enjoying his fingers over his skin.

His hand found Yugi's chin to force him to look up at him as he spoke. "You know I didn't mean to." he said. Leaving Yugi very confused.

"What do you mean?" Yugi questioned softly. He couldn't help but let a few stray tears of fright slip past him.

Kaiba suddenly frowned at him. "For hurting you before. Yugi-" Kaiba used his other hand to wipe away the tears he had shed. "Stop crying."

Yugi tried his best to believe him but it was hard. After everything that had happened, what Kaiba was doing right now didn't make any sense to him. He thought Kaiba hated him, but you didn't do this to the people you hated. "What are you going to do?"

After a moment he moved closer to Yugi's face, something that caused him to blush. Kaiba looked completely honest as he spoke to Yugi. "I want to kiss you."

Yugi stared at him, there was no way he could have heard that right. This wasn't really happening was it? Kaiba couldn't actually be doing this to him. Maybe he had fallen asleep in class and this was just a dream. If it was a dream though how could he feel everything and how could he be thinking? When you dreamt you often couldn't think about things. Then this was real? Yugi now began struggling against Kaiba, trying to get free.

If anything the grip over him grew tighter.

Yugi fought harder. "Let me go!" he began crying. This was some kind of trap, Kaiba was going to hurt him. He knew it.

Suddenly Kaiba let him go and backed away. Glaring darkly to himself like completely ashamed of what he'd just done.

Yugi moved away from the wall and near to the door. He watched Kaiba place a fist down on his desk and lean over it slightly. Something inside him told him not to go, but Kaiba was going to hurt him, wasn't he? What if he wasn't? But then that didn't make any sense. Why was he doing these things to Yugi when he was the one who told him it was wrong to have a crush on him.

"I can't fight it back anymore." Kaiba growled. He then looked to Yugi. "I can't fight trying to resist you."

Yugi stayed gazing at him. Waiting to hear more.

"This never has happened… I have never felt so strongly for a student but there's something about you, Yugi. There's something different that I feel like I need to have." he looked to his desk again. "I only told you to stop because of how badly it could end."

Yugi took a step closer to him. Listening to his words.

"After all it's illegal for me to be with you." Kaiba stalled before continuing. "But, I want to risk losing my job and going to jail for you."

Yugi couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was really willing to risk that to be with him? Yugi hesitantly approached Kaiba, he placed his hand over his fist and felt it lose tension. "Your really willing to do that… just for me…?" Yugi questioned.

Kaiba took his attention to Yugi. "I am."

Yugi wasn't strong enough to keep back his tears. No one had ever been willing to take such a risk for him, and couldn't believe he'd thought that Kaiba was going to hurt him. If he was willing to go to jail for him then it was obvious he cared about him. Yugi wasn't sure if he wanted to do this, after all it was so wrong. He couldn't be with his teacher, but at the same time it felt right. Yugi unconsciously began to lean closer to him. Staring deeply into his cobalt eyes.

Kaiba took a hold of Yugi's chin again to keep him leaning forward as he brought their foreheads together. They stared at each other for a long moment before Kaiba spoke, his lips barely touching Yugi's, something that drove the younger crazy.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Kaiba asked.

Yugi could barely think straight with Kaiba so close to him. He managed to nod his head and as soon as he did he felt lips connect with his. An instant shiver was sent up his spine, he had never kissed anyone before but Kaiba must have recognized that. The kiss was very gentle and sweet, perfect for Yugi's first kiss.

When Kaiba pulled away he looked at Yugi to see his reaction, but could barely when Yugi reconnected their lips again. This time it was more passion filled. Yugi wasn't in control for very long when he was suddenly grabbed and led somewhere he couldn't see. He didn't think about it much by how amazing Kaiba's lips felt, they were so soft and warm that Yugi could have melted. When he felt himself be pushed against something then pinned down by his wrists next to his head he opened his eyes. The kiss broke and Yugi saw that Kaiba had him down against his desk.

Kaiba attacked Yugi's lips again, the younger taking great pleasure in it. He couldn't believe this was actually happening, his english teacher was kissing him. He never thought that this would actually happen, he'd thought that he would just forever have a hopeless crush on him. When Kaiba pulled away from him Yugi was panting and pink cheeked. Kaiba realized he was forcing Yugi down and let go of his wrists.

Now that Yugi had control of his arms again he sat up on his elbows and gazed at Kaiba who straightened himself up.

"Where do you want to go with this?" he asked.

Yugi rose an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Kaiba glared slightly since it was such a simple question. "Do you want to start seeing each other?"

Yugi blushed. "Well… I would like to…"

Kaiba smirked while leaning closer to Yugi so he could kiss him lightly. "As would I."

"But… could I call you by your first name when we aren't in school?" Yugi questioned. He'd find it weird if he always had to be so formal.

"Of course. You can call me Seto." he said while stepping back to let Yugi get up if he wanted to.

Yugi smiled. "Ok Seto!" he already loved saying his name. He then pushed himself up so that he was sitting up straight on the desk. Yugi gazed a little embarrassingly down to his lap. "Do you think we could exchange phone numbers? Maybe in case something happens?" Yugi asked. He felt really stupid for asking but didn't know any other way to.

Kaiba actually laughed, it was short but made Yugi feel less embarrassed for asking. He pulled out his cell phone and handed it to Yugi. "Put your number in and let me have your cell phone and I'll do the same." he said.

Yugi took Kaiba's phone and placed it in his lap before pulling out his phone and handing it to Kaiba. He was a little shy at doing so since Kaiba's phone was much nicer than his. When Kaiba's phone was in his hand he stared at it for a moment before figuring out how to put his number into the phone. After he finished and got his phone back he smiled. Though the smile quickly disappeared when he saw that Atem had texted him saying that he had gone home after lunch. How had he not seen that text?

Kaiba seemed to notice this and frowned at him. "What?"

"I just found out that I don't have a ride home… and the buses have to be gone by now…" Yugi glanced to the time. Seeing it was three. The buses were well gone by now.

"If you tell me your address, I can take you home." Kaiba offered.

"No! it's ok, I can ride the city bus." Yugi confessed. He didn't want to be a burden on him.

"Don't worry about it. I don't have anywhere to be." Kaiba stated.

Yugi felt bad but he was thankful Kaiba was being so nice. "Well… thank you… I really appreciate this." Yugi said as he got off of the desk.

"I just need to stop by my room before we leave." He stated. While walking over to the door and opening it up and holding it open for Yugi as he walked through it and thanked him.

They walked through the very empty hallways of the school, Yugi trailing behind Kaiba in sort of a daze. He couldn't believe they were seeing each other now, it had happened so fast. Yugi couldn't help but smile. Though his smile faltered slightly when thinking about Atem, he hoped that he was ok. He must not be if he went home early. When they reached Kaiba's classroom Yugi sat on top of the desk that was right in front of Kaiba's while watching him pick up the silver, metal briefcase from the ground.

Kaiba placed it on his desk then opened it and grabbed a very large stack of notebooks and managed to get them to all fit inside. When he closed it he pulled it off of the desk and held it by the handle. After that he went to the door and Yugi hopped off of the table to follow him to parking lot.

Once they reached it, Yugi was so surprised to see barely any cars. Normally it was pretty packed. As they came to stand next to a very expensive looking black car Yugi was amazed. How could he afford this when he was a teacher? He knew teachers didn't make that much. Either way Yugi walked over to the passenger's seat and got in, the windows were very dark so he could barely even look out of them. The seats were a light grey leather and the inside had a mint smell. He quickly put his seat belt on as Kaiba placed the briefcase down on the floor and got into the driver's seat.

"You have a really nice car." Yugi mumbled.

"I've actually had this car for a few years." Kaiba stated. He then looked over to Yugi. "I need to know your address if you want me to take you home."

Yugi blushed from the realization of that. He quickly told Kaiba his address and he pulled out of the school's parking lot to take Yugi home.

xXxXx

"Thanks for taking me home, I really appreciate this." Yugi stated outside the driver's window to thank Kaiba.

Kaiba smirked as he leaned over to give Yugi a brief but meaningful kiss. "Anytime."

Yugi backed away from the car and waved goodbye to him as he drove away. Yugi about ready to swoon quickly shook his head and made his way up to the apartment. As he reached the door it instantly opened and he found arms wrapped around him In a bone crushing hug.

"Yugi! I was so worried about you!" Atem stated. "I'm sorry for leaving after lunch, I just couldn't hold it in any more."

"I-It's ok! But could you let me go I can't breathe!" Yugi choked out before Atem let go of him. He took a few deep breaths to recompose himself as they walked back into the apartment, Yugi shutting the door behind him. They went into the kitchen, Yugi dropped his backpack off at the normal spot next to Atem's and then sat down next to Atem at the table. "Have you talked to him yet?"

Atem shook his head slowly. He then looked to the newspaper on the table. "I'm trying to find a job, but every place I've called so far has hours that are too early."

Yugi frowned. He could tell he was trying so hard for if Seth came back he'd stay seeing Atem was trying to help more.

Atem looked back at Yugi after a moment of silence. "And… I think I'm going to tell everyone about Seth and my sexuality tomorrow. I'm tired of keeping it a secret."

"Then… so will I." Yugi stated.

"Aibou-"

Yugi gave him a stern look. "I want to. They need to know, I'm also really tired of keeping it a secret too."

Atem after a moment nodded. He then gazed back to the paper and began looking threw it again.

Yugi got up from the table and headed towards the pantry, looking for some food when Atem said something that made him begin to sweat.

"Who was in that nice car that dropped you off earlier? And was that a kiss I saw you give them?"
