Okay. Thanks be to Jellybob. I had trouble imagining that too, until I
imagined a taller Yugi. And kind of non cartoon. Sorry, OOC. I really want
to read your one story. I can't right now think of the name, but it's Yu-
Gi-Oh! And has 10 chapters.
I kind of have at least Tristan and Serenity talking lined out in my mind.
And maybe Joey and Mai. I'll try to wing it on Yugi and Tea. It just seems
like, they love each other, they know they do, what else is there?
Serenity can tell Tristan about Joey backing off, and Joey and Mai can talk
about how they felt when they were fighting, or something along those
lines.
Chapter 8:Clearing the Air
"What was that, Joey?" Serenity looked at her brother like she didn't know who he was.
Joey looked up sharply. "Huh? Oh, I, Uh. I was just saying that uh, Mai's okay. And uh, I really want to see Tristan now."
"Should we visit Mai?" Tea asked.
"She's sleeping right now." Joey said. "We should let her go."
"Hmm. Okay." They walked past him and he nearly collapsed with relief. He didn't know what Mai wanted them to know, or what he himself wanted them to know. He took one last look at her through the window in her door. "Joey?" Serenity poked her head out of the next door. He turned away and followed the others with a sigh. Upon entering Tristan's room, he tried to smile and put up a front for his injured friend.
"Hey, Joey!" Tristan was obviously in pain.
"Whoa, you're looking kind of low for someone with so much air in his head."
"Actually, I'm feeling kind of deflated." Tristan looked at Joey for a minute. "Well, I was popped. What's your excuse?"
'Darn,' Joey thought. 'I really hoped he wouldn't notice.' He nonticed everyone was looking at him. "Can you leave us for a minute, guys?" They shrugged, and tried to make Tristan more comfortable. Joey noticed Serenity look at him lovingly, and shooed her out after the rest. He shut the door and turned back to his friend. "I should have known you'd notice."
"Well, we've been friends for awhile. I know when your putting up a façade."
"Yeah," Joey let the word hang in the air.
"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?"
"I don't know if I can." Tristan looked confused.
"Is it about Mai?" Joey looked up. "What? I'm not really clueless, like everyone thinks I am."
[A.N.: That includes me =(o.o,) but after the
window, I feel kind of bad for him. ]
"Not everyone thinks your clueless. My sister for example."
"Okay, I realize you're changing the subject, but I'll bite anyway. What?"
"I'm not quite ready for it, but I know Serenity likes you." He was mumbling, , but Tristan got the drift.
"Hey, thanks man. I really like her."
"I know." He looked up, and they both smiled.
"When are you telling me what happened with Mai?"
"After I've talked to her. Uh, tomorrow?" Tristan looked at him, like, why are you nervous? "Well, she's sleeping now, and when she isn't she's trying to sit up and it hurts her." Before Tristan could say anything, Joe yopened the door and let the others in. "I'll be right back." He yawned. "I'm just going to look in on Mai." He went out and Serenity took a chair up to Tristan's side. She sat down and took his hand in her own. "How are you feeling, Tristan?" She asked softly. He smiled at her. "Better now." He shifted on the bed. "Did you talk to Joey?"
"He told you?"
"He said something about your being his little sister, and he isn't ready for you to be serious about a guy," he looked down for a second, "but that he knows, uh, thinks you really like me."
"I do."
Tristan blushed. "I really like you, too. And I don't plan on, uh, liking anyone else, but I think we should hold off for a little while longer. Let Joey get used to the idea of us."
"Alright Tristan." She lay her head on his hand. "It's kind of weird, isn't it?"
"What?"
"You being the one in the hospital bed, and me trying to cheer you up."
"You never really needed cheered up, you were always so optimistic."
She lifted her head. "And I will remain optimistic, Tristan." She smiled at him. "About you."
He smiled back at her. She lay her head back down as he squeezed her hand.
(A.N.: Awwww- they smile at each other a lot, don't they?)
Tea looked into Mai's room while she and Yugi walked past to the waiting room. Joey was asleep with his head laying on the bed by Mai.
"Hey! Yugi!" She called up the hallway quietly to the tri-colored head that hadn't noticed she had stopped. He turned around. "Come look at this!"
Yugi jogged back and looked through the small window with her. Joey stirred in his sleep and looked at Mai for a lingering second before turning his head towards the door and falling back to sleep again with a smile on his face. "There's something between those two."
"There has been for a while."
"I hadn't noticed anything." He paused. "Except when she dueled Jean- Claude."
"What about duelist kingdom?"
"What do you mean?"
"When she gave him her card so he could duel for Serenity. Who I think might be getting together with Tristan as we speak."
They started wlking down the hall. Tea was glad she had kissed Yugi, and she knew he was happy. Did they really need words for that?
(A.N.: Yeah, I couldn't come up with a Yugi
Tea conversation. So sue me, I cheaped out!)
She also knew that everyone seemed to be pairing off, so what about Duke, and Bokura? Would they feel left out? And where were they? Duke hadn't been in school for weeks, and Bokura was absent today.
"You know what I just realized?" she asked Yugi.
"If it's that Duke and Bokura are missing, I just thought of that myself."
How does he do that? Tea wondered.
"Well, Duke could have gone on vacation. And Bokura might be sick, but in light of what has happened so far,"
"Help!" They both turned around to where they saw Serenity being carried off.
"Oh, sh-.."
"Serenity!" Tea started racing down the hall, closely followed by her boyfriend Yugi. She slammed Mai's door open, and Yugi called in to Joey.
"Someone took Serenity!"
Joey ran out, with a quick goodbye to Mai.
Meanwhile,
"Joey?"
"I'm here Mai." He straightened up and wiped some drool off of his chin.
She smiled. "What's up?"
"Tristan guessed that something was up with us, but he doesn't know what it could be." He shrugged. "But, besides that."
"What did you say?"
"That I wanted to talk to you before I told even him anything." He kissed her on the forehead. She sat up easily now.
"You didn't tell him?"
"Uhh, should I have?"
"Why wouldn't you?"
"I, , uh, I wanted to make sure it was okay with you."
"Why?"
"Because ., hey! You know why! You just like hearing me say it, don't you?"
She smiled devilishly. "Maybe."
"You. you, you just, *pause* aww, jeez!" He leaned down and captured her mouth in his. He held her there for second, then slightly pulled his head back. "I love you."
She laughed and pulled him into a kiss. He braced one arm on the bed and put the other on the side of her face. It went to her shoulder and then the small of her back, and he smiled as she messed up his (as always) perfect hair. All of a sudden, the door flew open. He thought he heard his name, but couldn't be sure, but then Yugi called in to him.
"Someone took Serenity!"
Joey ran out, with a quick goodbye to Mai.but he definitely sat up.
DUNDUNDUN! And the plot thickens! I'm not quite sure what it is, but its thickening. Oh and since I've started this chapter, I've gotten more reviews. Thanks to you all. Support much appreciated. Oh! And if you want to check out a good fanfic with a Serenity/Seto Plot, check out anncats. I think that's how it's spelled. Well, goodnight! Review!
