Baka and Bishounen:
Chapter 2: Yugi!
Joey rushed through the changing room, quickly took a shower and raced to get his change of cloths on. He left the change room, hoping on one foot, still trying to pull his shoe on. He ran down the halls searching for someone who was nearly invisible. Instead of finding the black and blonde hair he searched out for, he nearly slammed into two burnets.
Tea never seemed too glad to see him, and she didn't make any exceptions now "Joey, watch where you're going for once!"
Then there was Tristan, the other burnet, "Dude, you look like you've seen a ghost or something, didn't you expect to lose against Kaiba's team?"
"I just need to talk to Yugi, okay?" Joey stammered. They made it sound simple, soccer game, lose, and that's all.
"He's right over there, but geez, you'd think you could talk to us too" replied Tristan.
Tea also had her own two cents "What's wrong Joey?"
Her comment was just dripping with concern and sympathy, but he didn't want to fess up. They felt distant from him. He ignored them; sometimes they were just too much thought Joey as raced to where Tristan had directed him. "Yuge, I gotta talk to you, alone" This reminded him of his last confession, it was pretty much the same word for word, and he saw a twinge of nervousness in yugi's eyes that made him regret him putting it that way.
After pulling Yugi into the emptied class room, Joey explained himself quickly "I think I like Kaiba".
"Well that's great news Joey; you'd think someone would get along with-suddenly realization struck him. "You mean, you like-like him?"
Joey's hair shook gently as he nodded his head silently.
Yugi tried not to feel the thankfulness that Joey was defiantly fully over him. "Uh, but Joey, don't you think he'll never feel the same way?" somewhat expressing what had happened between them.
"But I felt something, he was looking at me, and then, he just up and left. This time it's different." He realized that he should probably not have blurted the last part.
Yugi was perplexed; he was no longer thinking about Joey and him. This was a puzzle that even he couldn't understand yet. "You felt something from Kaiba?" It sounded like the most ridiculous thing. Kaiba, feeling anything was hard enough to understand, and for, Joey? Though it would explain the torment Kaiba gave him. Yugi almost grinned when he thought of Kaiba as a school girl who teases a boy because she doesn't know how to handle liking him.
"Yuge, Yuge, what do you think? Even if he was a girl it'd take me a millennium to fess up."
"Actually Joey, I think that it's possible that Kaiba does like you, or… likes torment."
"Oh boy. With my luck it's probably the latter, and now you've filled me with dat warm fuzzy hopeful feeling, its gunna drive me nuts! Thanks a lot Yugi" Of course Joey was being sarcastic, but the conversation hadn't really resolved anything. He'd just have to go on to wandering around the halls, catching glimpses of Kaiba, and wondering.
"Any time Joey, I'm just glad you could tell me about such a serious subject."
"Yeah, it's nuttun to be running around telling de lunch lady 'bout and hey, that means a lot coming from me!"
The two boys exited the class room and none other then Seto Kaiba walked by.
Seeing them both leave the empty class room filled Kaiba's mind with suspicion. He would never have noticed, he wouldn't have cared, until today. Has the dog has been marked as someone else's property? He couldn't recognize the person thinking that. He was thinking of Joey as a dog in some twisted fantasy instead of a crude insult. Had it all been-
His line of thought was broken by a mean look from Joey. It sliced into him like it never could before. An insult came flowing easily "Looks like the mutt learned to play fetch" Jeered Kaiba as he threw a soccer ball at Joey's stomach sharply.
Joey let out a groan as it hit him but stifled it as he got the ball under control. He suddenly was inspired to throw the ball at Kaiba's head.
It hit in the dead center of his hair and made it fly up crazily, Kaiba raised an eye brow and said stiffly "That didn't hurt" completely unaware of the condition his hair was now in.
After Kaiba left Joey left out a laugh that brought Yugi's memories back to the teasing school girl theory. He wondered if they would pass each other by, with their only exchange being insults, and if they would be as "two ships in the night". He wondered if Kaiba was the same as Joey, in the insults, if it was really what he thought earlier, what was the chance that they were both gay? There must be some hope for Joey. Yugi figured that if, if Kaiba felt for him, that they'd some how find each other. Maybe there was a way to help them, but on this Yugi was more doubtful. He'd just have to watch, and maybe pray a little. He wasn't an expert, on any kind of love, and he knew he couldn't just go ask Tea this time. The best he figured he could do was help Joey get through it all. "Are you going to meet up with the gang for pizza today? It's Tristan's surprise birthday party".
"Surprise what? But his birthday aien't until next month, to the day"
"That's why it's a surprise, you mean; Tea didn't tell you about it?"
"Um, Maybe?"
"I already took care of your gift, but you owe me ten dollars, so, just sleep over at my house today"
"Thanks you, your really a real friend, I've got some stuff on my mind, and I'm just not used ta it" Stated Joey jokingly, though, this situation was really making his head tick. "Eh, it's not like that's anything different from what I usually do."
Yugi and Joey met up with Tristan and Tea, and they all started walking home, Tea said something about needing to pick nail polish up at the mall, but it was all part of the pizza plan, she was really ordering it. Tristan was sleeping over at Yugi's since it was a Friday, and since Joey was always over there, it didn't seem suspicious. Joey was excited; he hadn't had pizza since lunch!
