*giggles like the rabid YGO fangirl she is* I bought the YGO cereal today.
^_____^ Then I got more cereal just for the YGO action medallions. But I'm
not obsessed... really. *Sniffle*sniffle* This is it, my last update for
this story. It'll be finished now. Waaaahhhh!!!! *cries big crocodile
tears*
Seto: *sigh* oh come on, you're going to write more.
But this was my first hit.... ;-;
Seto: Will you just stop wallowing in tears? It's not a pretty sight.
*huffs* Oh shut up. As much as I loath to admit it, you have a semblance of a point. So, onward and upward! I told you I was evil IceMaiden. And the reason I am so mean and cruel, and yes you did mention evil, is because I can!! Muhahahaha *hack* note to self: do not laugh evilly while eating brownie, causes inhalation. You broke your chair? I do hope you won't find me and my evilness to blame. I don't have time for a lawsuit. Make something tragic happen, Malik? In the last section? Sadly enough your evil wishes can not be preformed this section. Instead you must suffer through uber kawaii-ness!!(which some people could find tragic...) It's okay that you were late treana! Yes! He said it! Go Ryou! Power to the weirdos! I rock and I rool! Man... I'm going to get an ego soon.... As for Duke telling Tristan.. yes he did... as to what happened..... *zips her lips* You'll have to read to find out, and then you'll have to interpret what your reading. Being vague is fun. :D aawwwww *hands DSF tissues* There, there. *pat* Kaiba was rather stupid then. I agree.
Seto: -.- You wrote me that way.
So what? You still did it. And it was stupid.
Seto: .....*is speechless*
I win, you lose. Thank you, come again. Anyway, love/crush, close enough. Wow.. did you really yell that? *blushes* I hope no one was around to hear but thanks! Ryou and Seto forever!! At least until I hook Seto and Jou, and then Ryou and Honda up. ^_^;; darn those plot bunnies. Anime, you confused me so much! I had to go re-read my own story! Then I realized when you said proposal you were talking about the box! I felt rather stupid for not getting that, but no marriage in the future for them *yet* ;D Tons of kitty faces! Woot! It's okay Lethe, Seto's going to try his best to fix it, but nope, not pocky....mmm... pocky. Now I want some... Whelp, this is it.
Disclaimer to end all disclaimers: don't own it. Prolly never will, but hey, Fangirls can dream, right?
~Checkmate~
Ryou trudged to school the next morning, cursing Duke with every step he took.
/I don't want to go to school, I don't want to see Seto, I don't want to see anyone. I just want to sleep!/
He stopped across from the school and glares at it for a moment. Then, with a deep, resigned, sort of 'I'm off to hell' sigh, he headed for his class.
Duke was outside of the class, leaning against the wall. "You're late. It's 7:18."
"You got very far in coming after me in three minutes," Ryou commented dryly as he stopped in front of Duke.
Duke just grinned. "I knew you would show. You said you would."
Ryou hesitated before asking, "Is he here yet?" He wasn't sure if he wanted to hear a yes or -
"No," Duke said as he turned to enter the classroom.
"You never answered my question about you-know-who(a/n Voldemort? XD sorry...)...." Ryou trailed off knowing that Duke would know who he was talking about. He sat in his seat and looked at Duke, who was sitting on top of the desk in front of him.
Duke looked down and grinned sheepishly. "I didn't want to tell you yesterday. I thought it might have upset you."
Ryou was surprised that it didn't. He was glad that Duke's experience had gone much better than his(So treana.. what does that mean? ;) ). "We'll it doesn't so tell me everything."
Duke hesitated questioningly before plowing ahead and distracting Ryou from the latest addition to their classroom.
Seto paused in the door and then went straight to his desk. He wasn't going to interrupt Ryou's conversation with Duke. /When am I going to give it to him? Class is about to start... Lunch I guess.../
The teacher walked in and the class got to their seats. After Duke left, Ryou looked around the room. /Gods... he's here./ He stared at his desk, refusing to even look at him again. He didn't even notice when the teacher called his name for roll.
"Ryou's here," Duke said for him.
Ryou's head snapped up. "What?"
Their teacher just rolled her eyes and went on with the roll.
/How am I going to make it?/
~*~
Ryou sat down at the table with everyone and placed his lunch in front of him. He had no desire to eat, but Duke was going to make him, he knew it.
"Seto! How are you?" Yuugi asked, looking behind Ryou.
Ryou tensed. /Oh please don't let him say anything now. He's not cruel, but he might not know I didn't tell them..../
"Fine," Seto absently replied, and took the seat beside Ryou. He placed a box on the table and pushed it slightly toward Ryou.
"I'd like you to take this," he said, unsure of what to do.
"No thank you," Ryou said, refusing to look up from his spot on the table.
"Please, Ryou." There was silence and Seto felt emptiness begin to fill him. For the first time he was unable to completely conceal his emotions. "Please, Ryou. Please take it."
Ryou looked up in shock at the pleading in Seto's voice. Emotions lurked in those devastatingly blue eyes, bur Ryou couldn't determine them. "Okay," he said with a small nod, and then turned back to his spot.
Seto stood and left. There was nothing more he could do. Everything now rested in Ryou's hands.
~*~
Ryou walked home quickly and went straight to his room. He dumped the contents of his backpack on his bed and grabbed the box. He had no clue what was in it.
After looking at it for a few minutes he finally untapped it and opened the lid. He peered inside and pulled out the lone object. It was a king from Seto's chess set...Seto's king...
Ryou was confused and he looked in the box again. This time he noticed the small paper, and he took it out, tossing the box aside. After looking at the chess piece again he started on the letter.
Ryou,
I have fallen into your trap. I now sacrifice my king
to you for as you once said, 'Why delay the inevitable?'
I would ask, however, that you return my piece to me, for
my set is incomplete without it. I will understand, of course,
if you chose not to. You know where the piece goes, and
congratulations on a perfectly executed game.
-Seto
Ryou re-read it again at least four times, unable to believe what the letter said. /There's no way he could actually like me.../ He looked at the piece again. There was only one way to find out.
He left his apartment and began to make his way across town, the piece clutched in his hand. What was he going to say if Seto was there?
He was also unsure of what he was going to do when he got to the mansion. Luckily, the butler was waiting close enough to the door to hear Ryou's tentative knocks.
Ryou stepped in and looked around him. This was it. He headed for the den; the only task in his mind was placing the king in its place on the board.
He walked into the den and his step faltered when he saw Seto standing in front of the fireplace. Seto didn't react as his entrance, however, so he walked to the board and placed the king in its place.
He looked up to find Seto standing a few feet away, looking at him. Ryou was felt overwhelmed at the gratitude that emanated from Seto's strong gaze. He looked back at the board, and laid his king on its side.
"You win," he said smiling up at Seto.
Seto reached over and picked the king up, setting it up straight. A grin broke out across his face as he pulled Ryou into his arms.
"No Ryou... this time, we both win."
^______^ Okay. That's it for this one. It's been some good times but my plot bunnies have multiplied, so if you wanna you can check out the other YGO ffs that are sure to come. My Seto/Jou, "Love Simply IS" should go up tomorrow, or the day after, once my beta finishes. And if you have a couple you'd like to see me write, gimme some pairs and I'll give them to my muses to work with. *hugs her reviewers again*" You guys are the greatest!! *pokes her number of reviews* 75....75.....75... ^_^;;
