//Last Chapter//
"If someone were to fall from here, there's no way they would survive..." Kaiba's voice trailed off, as his eyes stared off into the distance.
Anzu didn't notice, but, she did look down. An unreadable expression on her face. "So, are you saying it's impossible to live, if you were to jump from this height?" She asked, trying to hide the curiousity in her voice. But, before he could reply...His cell-phone rang.
//Domino Park/8:06 p.m./Bridge Above Lake//
"Excuse me, for a second." Kaiba pulled out his black cell, "Kaiba....Oh, Mokuba, something wrong?"
Anzu left him to his call. 'Kaiba's lucky. He has a little brother...Someone that will always be there by his side. No matter what. And, look at me... I have no one. Tristan won't always be there for me, and I won't make him, either. It wouldn't be fair to make him stay with me... Who would want me? No one wants to have a depressed failed woman, as their girlfriend...' She stared down at her reflection, sighing mentally she closed her eyes.
"Are you alright?" Anzu shot up, and turned to see Kaiba eyeing her worriedly.
"Yeah. Just tired. Actually, I think I'll go ahead and head home. My mom will be expecting me home, anyway." She replied, removing the jacket, he had let her wear. "Here. Thanks again, for letting me wear it." She said, smiling.
He took it and held it loosely, "Are you sure everything is alright?" He asked, again.
"Ha! No offense, but when did you 'Mr. CEO of KaibaCorp.' become all sweet and caring?"
He smirked, shrugging, "And, who said I was sweet and caring? I was just asking, so that I wouldn't have to give you a ride."
She smiled brighter, "Oh, well then, my apologies. But, seriously, I am fine. Thanks for asking. Um... I guess, I'll see you, when I see you." They said their good-byes and she walked off.
//Domino Park/8:48 p.m./Bridge Above Lake//
Kaiba stared out into space, his elbows leaning on the railing. Since Mokuba called, and was going to spend the night as Yugi's, there was no reason to head home. Besides, what was the point in going back there? All that awaited him were piles and piles of paperwork. Just thinking about it, made him frustrated. Not that they were hard, or confusing.
Actually, they were relatively easy, for the intelligent CEO... But, everyday, he'd have to write at least a hundred papers, and now that that problem with going over the budget has shown up... He sighs, 'Why am I bringing this up? All it does, is give me a severe migrane.'
Kaiba was so lost in his own thoughts, that he didn't hear footsteps approach, infact, he didn't even notice the blonde haired boy standing next to him. "Kaiba? Hey, are you ok?" Kaiba snapped out of his thoughts, and glanced over at Joey.
"I'm fine." He replied, lowering his gaze to the water.
Joey sighed, also, staring down. "So, have ya heard what they're gonna do to the lake?"
"Yeah." They both shut their eyes, as a cool breeze blew pass.
//Domino Park/9:00 p.m./ Bridge Above Lake//
Joey and Kaiba hadn't said anything, for the past ten minutes, not one word, not one insult. Finally, though, "So, Joey..."
He looked up at the teller boy. "Yeah?"
"How's everything with you?"
'Absolutely miserable. Wanna trade lives?' Joey shrugged, "Everything's fine."
'That makes one of us.' Kaiba mentally sighed, "Well, that's good to hear."
"So, what about you?"
"Can't complain. I have Mokuba, KaibaCorp., and so far, so good." Kaiba wanted to just laugh at that stupid lie. 'With the exception of Mokuba, my life is a complete wreck.'
Another ten minutes passed, the time now 9:10 p.m. Kaiba stared down at his watch, and frowned. Ok, now, he really should get home. "I better be heading home. Have some paperwork, that needs reviewing." Kaiba turned to leave.
Joey grabbed his arm, "Kaiba wait." His voice a bit desperate, and nervous.
Kaiba turned to him, awaiting Joey's next words.
"K-Kaiba... About the other day... Uh, I don't even know if ya even remember it, but the night when you gave me a ride home..."
Joey's arm let go of Kaiba's arm, and Kaiba stepped just a bit closer to him. Joey stepped back just a little, "I remember. However, I don't understand what happened." His voice was neutral, along with his face. But, he didn't look angry.
"I... Uhm... Kaiba, I..." His gaze hit the floor in defeat. But, he jumped, as Kaiba cupped his chin in his hand, and brought their faces close to one another's. Joey gulped, lips shivering slightly, as Kaiba's eyes peered into his dark brown ones.
"What is it Joey?" Kaiba had no idea what he was doing. It was like his brain had shut down, and now, his body was moving ion it's own.
As Kaiba said those words, his lips brushed against Joey's. that's how close they were. Joey pinched himself, to stop from gasping. His own body reacting so strangely toward Kaiba, his heart pounded so badly it hurt, his legs wanted to fall off, and large excited shudders ran down is body.
"Joey? What is it?" Kaiba's blue eyes demanded to be answered, as if, they were already aware of what Joey wanted to say, but, they needed to hear the words. Needed to be absolutely sure...
"I, T-That night... I wanted to..."
"To?"
"I wanted to kiss you. Like right now. All I want, is for you to kiss me." He whispered, growing just a tad worried at Kaiba's surprised expression.
But, that look of surprise faded very quickly, and without saying anything, Kaiba's lips fell on Joey's. Joey gasped into his mouth, sending shivers down Kaiba's back. Joey's hands crept up his clothed chest, wanting to circle and lock around the taller one's neck, when a loud scream was heard from somewhere behind them.
Both quickly broke apart, and for a second exchanged blank stares at each other. When the scream was heard again, they both ran toward it. Forgetting all about what had just happened. All that mattered was saving the girl they heard scream, running even faster, when that 'scream' began to sound so very familar...
