I Love Him; Does He Love You?

Chapter One: Watching Eyes

Jounouchi Frowned to himself as he watched Yugi and Yami duel. They were not very serious, and there were a lot of laughter and smiles, Yugi's bright amethyst eyes shining, Yami's deep crimson eyes glimmering with humor.

Jou was jealous.

He was well aware that he was in love with his friend and Yami. It was almost Impossible not to fall in love with them, however; Yugi was oh so innocent, sweet, helpful, he was always there for anybody who needed help, and there was something about him, a certain light, that worked as a flame for a moth; Yami was dark, mysterious, an enigma, just as trustworthy and reliable as Yugi, and oh so very protective, something Jou could very desirable.

Jou growled at himself, frustrated and in pain. He was hopeless, it was hopeless!

Yugi was cheerfully in love, or like, or whatever with Tea, and Yami? They were one and the same, yet not; still, it was more likely than not that Yami was in love with that annoying girl too.

Jou didn't hate Tea, never had, never will, but she was extremely bothersome. Had Yugi not seemed to enjoy her company. Jou would have long driven her off with biting remarks and dark looks.

Jou looked up as Yami laid the card that ended the duel in the dark one's favor. Yami smirked at Yugi, and the small teen laughed, Blushing faintly, and Jou's heart warmed at the sight, and he allowed his face to soften and a slight smile to grace his features.

Off to the side, Tristan and Otogi smirked, both well aware of their friend's problem, and frankly amused by it.

Jou was reminded of his surroundings when Tea walked into view, and he heaved a sigh, stood from the couch, and ran a hand through his hair. He turned and started for the door, grabbing his jacket up form the counter.

A small yet warm presence appeared at his side, stuffing a neatly piled deck into a jacket pocket. "Hey, Jou, where are you off to?"

Jou paused to lock eyes with Yugi, almost falling into though amethyst depths, just on the brink of drowning. Jou shrugged. "You know my, Yugi. I don't feel right just sitting around in one place for too long. But I'll see you tomorrow, right?"

Yugi blinked, a hint of disappointment entering his wide eyes. "Yeah, sure . . ."

Jou turned, Walking out the door and putting on his jacket. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and sighed before a scowl darkened his features, heading out into a cruel and bloody world, trusting his skills, ready to go wherever his fist and feet took him . . .
