Okay, I'm back again! Yay! Only 1 more section for me to write then all I
gotta do is type it up. 10 is the magic number on this fic. My longest yet.
Anyway, on with the show! Who wants to volunteer?
*silence*
-.- don't make me pick....
Seto: Yuugi'll do it!
Yuugi: What? Uuhhh.... sure... Heather doesn't own YGO. But she's getting closer to owning the subs!
Yes I am!!
Yuugi: not that she can watch them....
Okay... I'm so finding a way to make you miserable. Stupid hikaries.
Ryou: *raises an eyebrow*
o.o; uumm... changing the subject... You've never read a Seto/Ryou before Ieyre? Wow. I'm the first! ^^ anyway, it's going to be a lot more than implied now... ~.^ *gets glomped* Oy, glad you liked treana! I don't really know why I made him a vegan. Just felt like it ^^; plus it helped get them to talk, and it helps later on too ^^ :( my number of reviews is dropping..
Pairings: If you don't know by now, I'm not telling XP
Key's the same. Shouldn't be that hard... I don't randomly change things.
~What you can learn~
After lunch everyone filed back into the den to talk for about another hour. Well, everyone talked and Seto made a few comments when Mokuba looked at him. It wasn't that he didn't like the conversation (Seto: I probably didn't... HEY! Who said you could make an a/n? *whips Seto w/ a wet noodle* ... stupid boys), he just wasn't used to talking to people like this.
He looked around the room as Duke started talking about his new idea for an expansion of his game. His eyes fell on the chess set. /Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all. I could always invite everyone over each weekend. That should make Mokuba happy./
He looked back to everyone as Duke finished explaining. "Good luck," he commented.
Duke looked at him. "Thanks Kaiba," Duke said slightly in shock.
"Go ahead and call me Seto," he said standing up. "Thank you all for coming, but I'm afraid I have a meeting in an hour."
Everyone stood and followed Seto as he walked out of the den to direct everyone to the front door.
"We were glad to come," Yuugi told Seto as they walked through the mansion. "You're not that bad after you loosen up!" he said jokingly.
Seto looked at Yuugi with a small smirk. "I'll make sure not to loosen up too much or you may die of shock."
Yuugi laughed. "I don't think you could shock me that much," he teased back and stepped through the door the butler was holding open.
"Thank you, again for coming everyone," Seto said as they walked out of the doors. "And thank you for the game, Ryou," he added as Ryou was the last outside. "It's been a while since I've played."
Ryou blushed again. "No problem. I'm enjoyed it too." He shifted a bit in the silence that followed before Seto said good-bye and shut the door.
"That wasn't too bad," Tea commented as everyone walked toward the street.
"It really wasn't," Yuugi agreed. "Joey even behaved himself!"
"Quiet you!" Joey protested, taking a swipe at Yuugi, which was easily avoided.
Once they reached the street Yuugi, Joey, and Tea went in one direction home, while Ryou, Duke, and Tristan headed off in the opposite direction towards their houses.
There wasn't much conversation between the boys as the walked home, and Ryou was thankful. He didn't want to talk about anything right now, he just wanted to go home and be by himself.
"I never knew you liked chess," Duke commented
Ryou sighed inwardly. /I don't want to talk about today.../ "Yeah," he mumbled. "My dad taught me when I was around 7 or 8."
"That's cool," Tristan said. "It's a real good strategy game I've been told. Some players get so good they can guess their opponents moves."
Ryou just shrugged. "I'll never be that good. I mainly play on the defensive looking for an opportunity to trap. Offensive is just too aggressive for me. I'd make a mistake." /Finally, my apartment./ "I'll talk to you later then," he called out as he headed for the stairs, not really paying attention to the good-byes of his friends.
He unlocked the door, walked in, and headed straight for his room. He picked up the book he was in the middle of, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire( hehe... ^^; my two fandoms!!), and opened it to the page he'd stopped at. Ryou sat on his bed and took off his shoes as he read. After lying out on his stomach, he tried to concentrate on his book, but his mind kept wandering to where it shouldn't...
To Seto.
Ryou set the book aside and rolled onto his back and looked at the ceiling. It really was nice playing that game with Seto. You're supposed to be able to learn a lot about a person from how they play chess.
"So what did I learn about you?" Ryou asked out loud, knowing the answer already, and yet still to afraid to admit it.
Wee!!! I'm done! And my Beta reader is back from her stupid trip so now my story will be edited!
Seto: It'll still suck....
-.- I'm going to lock you up next time so you can't say mean and stupid comments, so :P Oh! And there's foreshadowing in this section.... Can you guess where?
*silence*
