Endless Friendship, Timeless Love Chapter 4: Partners, a yu-gi-oh fanfic

Ooh…Chapter 3…4 chapters including prologue…more than I wrote for my first fic. I'm so happy…

I promise…there will be less foreword and end words. I won't talk as much.

Alona & Meina: Thx for reviewing. I'm sorry I put Anzu in, but she plays a role in getting them together (or maybe just to get Seto jealous…)

Disclaimer: What IS the point of doing this chapter after chapter…no one even pays attention to this anyway…fine…I'll say it…I don't own

Yu-Gi-Oh…happy? ::mutters string of profane curses under her breath::

Warning: It's YAOI…You should know this if you've read up to this chapter.

Endless Friendship, Timeless Love: Partners

The second that Seto got home, he banged his head on his desk. Damn teacher. Why? Why? Why did she have to spring that damn project so suddenly on them? Aug…and why didn't she just picked partners for them?

'You know…it's your fault you two are partners.'

'Shut up! It was not my fault.'

~Flashback~

Seto slumped into his seat after lunch, glaring daggers at Anzu's back.

"Class, we'll be starting a new project today." Groans were heard, "It's not going to be that bad, you'll enjoy it"

The students didn't look like they believed her.

"You're going to be studying ancient civilizations with a partner. You get to pick your partners." The room was filled with chatter about who people wanted to be partners with.

"Not so fast." The room immediately quieted.

"You get to pick you're partners…but…they must be either the person sitting directly in front or back of you or directly to your right or left."

This earned a lot of protest from the students, but the teacher would not relent. Seto could have sworn some of the students looked mutinous.

He himself wasn't too happy. He was in a corner and only had two choices for partners. And the two people that he could be partnered with were not people he wanted to work with.

Seto was stuck next to Yami and behind Kijo Leiko.

He groaned. 'Aug…what am I suppose to do? Kijo has been after me to date her since freshman year. And Yami…I just don't know. Fate must really hate me." He struggled not to hit his head on the table.

'I just know I'm going to regret this.' With a sigh, he quickly scribbled a note and threw it on Yami's desk.

From the corner of his eyes, he registered the surprised look on Yami and saw him scribble a reply.

'You're nervous.'

'Am not! I don't care. He can say no for all I care.'

'But you'd prefer he say yes, right?'

Seto was silent. Before he could retort, a note landed on his desk.

He nonchalantly picked up the note.

His heart skipped a beat as he read the simple answer.

-Ok-

He allowed himself a mental grin.

~End Flashback~

'It IS your fault. You were the one who asked him to be your partner. You're just in denial.'

'Be quiet! Don't you ever?'

'Nope!'

Seto smack himself on the head, "I must be insane. I'm talking to myself."

'Must be.'

"Aug…"

*RING RING*

"Great, now I'm hearing things!"

*RING RING*

Seto looked up. He reprimanded himself before picking up the phone. "Kaiba."

"Um…hi…am I speaking to Seto?" The voice was hesitant.

"Yes, you are, who am I speaking to?" He asked curtly, "And it's Kaiba to whoever you are."

"This is Yami…"

"What do you want?"

"I was wondering…uh…about the project…"

"What about it? Be snappy, I don't have all day!"

"Well, I was wondering if I could go over and work on it. Yuugi's working with Jounouchi and I don't want to bother them."

Seto was silent. Have Yami come over to his house? Was that a good idea in his current state of mind?

"Fine." Seto said reluctantly, not being able to think up a reason why Yami couldn't come over.

Seto gave Yami his address.

"Thanks…I'll be over in 20 minutes."

"Very well," Seto muttered, hanging up.

"What the hell was I thinking?!" Seto groaned, "Well…at least Mokuba will be home soon, so I won't be alone with Yami."

*RING RING*

"What now?!" Seto glared at the phone.

"Kaiba. Make it quick!" Seto snapped.

"Big brother, it's me."

"Oh, hey, Mokuba. What is it? Is something wrong?" His voice softened considerably.

"No, nothing's wrong. I'm just calling you to let you know that I'm going to my friend's house. I'll be home by 8, ok?"

"8? Well, I don't know…"

"Please!"

"All right, you can go. Just call me before you come home and I'll send a car over to pick you up."

"K! Bye big brother. I'll see you later!" Mokuba hung up the phone.

"Great! This is just perfect! What am I going to do? Why today of all days?"

'Good luck!' The voice was smug.

"Shut up." Seto buried his face in his hand, "How am I going to get through this?"

End of chapter…

Ehehe…I'm so evil to Seto…^ ^;;

Sorry it took me so long to get this out! I have had writer's block for the last 1½ weeks. I still have writer's block and had to force myself to get this out.

Kijo Leiko (an OC) might play a role at some other point in this story, but I'm not sure yet.

Which Yu-Gi-Oh character do you guys think Seto should go out with, if I decide to make him go out with someone? Who should Yami go out with? ::ducks from thrown objects:: It's just to move the plot along! I don't even know if I will make them go out with anyone else, but that depends. I PROMISE they'll end up together one way or another!

Review please! Tell me what you think! Next chapter coming out sometime in the next 5 days or earlier if I get lotza reviews. ^ ^
