Sorry for the wait everyone, the excuse is to long of a story...so let's just get on with this. I tried to make up for it with a long chappie. Brought in Jou this chappie, he's a little high. But I love him!

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Cause I'm poor.

*************************************************

(1:18 AM August 12)

He kissed me. That's right, who's good?

Not me.

Because I fainted.

I may be the biggest moron ever, the guy I've been in love with since the moment I saw him, admits to having feelings for me (sort of) and kisses me...and what does the oh-so-smooth Yugi do?

Passes out.

Just like that, and I'm lying in bed now where Yami probably put me. He probably thinks I'm some weirdo or that I don't feel that way about him. God, I sure know how to mess things up.

I sit up, look around, then flop back down again. I am so not ready to face Yami yet. What am I supposed to say???

'Hey, Yami! What's happenin'? Hey, remember when you kissed me and I passed out? Haha, good times, good times.'

Not the best approach.

Maybe I could just use a more subtle way of acknowledging it and showing him that I like (not ready to disclose loving him yet) him without really SAYING it. Or doing anything that could mortally embarass me.

I think I'm going to need some help.

Who can I go to?! I mean, is there ANYONE who would really understand if I told them...someone who I would feel absolutely COMPELLED to tell everything?

Then a rock hit my window.

I had to ask.

"Hey, Yug'! Aren't you usually up by now?!" Jou's daily 'scream-at-Yugi's-window-until-he-goes-insane' was not what I needed right now.

But hey, he's the best I can do at the moment.

"I've been up, umm I just...uh...I'll explain later!"

"Well, then come down!"

Come down?! Then I'll have to walk past Yami! What to do, what to do?!

I looked down, out the window, weighing my options carefully. The jump off of the ledge of the house actually didn't look so bad...

NO. I am not jumping it. I could get seriously hurt, that's about the stupidest idea ever.

So, I jumped it.

Wasn't that bad, actually. Sorta fun...gotta do that from now on.

"Whoa, that was...different." Jou's face pretty much said that he was confused. Not as though that's new. Plus, I'm not the kind to do anything out of the ordinary, since I stand out in my appearances (I'd like to say that's because I'm cute, but that would make me conceited...even though I am) I'd rather just blend in with my mannerisms. Most of the time, anyways.

"So, what's going on?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're acting all funny, tell me what's up or I'll go ask Yami." he said with a smirk.

Damn, he knows that it would be weird to ask him. He probably wouldn't, but I don't want to take that chance...plus, I need to tell someone!

So, I told him everything. I mean EVERYTHING. Once I started it ws like I couldn't stop, I kept going on and on and on...I think I may have told him a few embarassing details, too...Man, he'll probably use it for blackmail soon, too. What I told, nobody needs to mention...but I will say that involved a lot of cold water and a campfire. Let your imagination do the work.

Jou started to laugh, almost maniacally. Little creepy...maybe I should walk away. But then he suddenly stopped...and started walking in the opposite direction he was facing.

Is that a normal reaction?

Well, I always knew that Jou was a little...you know, strange. I blame Honda and that baseball bat...man, that was funny.

He turned around and gestured me to walk with him, in utter confusion, of course.

"You really have no idea what you're doing, do you, Yug'?"

No.

"Well, I wouldn't say that..." No way am I going to sound stupid and lost. I'm supposed to be the smart one.

"Did you really think that Yami didn't have feelings for you after all he's ever done for you? He's like your bodyguard! I'm afraid we're going to have to sign papers to assure your safety when we hang out! I mean you had to have suspected it."

No, not really. I just assumed he was a little bit wacko.

"Maybe a little, but not that much."

"Well, don't worry about it. Just talk to him. Tell him how you feel. Even if he doesn't feel the same way you do, which is probablly impossible, he would never brush you off."

There are those days when Jou is incredibly smart and knows exactly what to say...then there are those days when it comes and goes.

"Ohhhh! Look! A pidgeon!"

How Seto deals with it, the world will never know. Then again, Seto is a little bit crazy himself, except in a scarier, more sadistic way. Like half of our gang.

I need new friends.

Anyways, I sat down on the nearest bench (I hadn't noticed that Jou had been walking towards the park until we got here) and just stared of into space while Jou harassed a nearby Ice Cream man, claiming he had shorted him two cents for his Snoopy ice cream bar.

He was right, no not about the ice cream, about Yami. Yami would never push me away no matter what I did. Yami has always been loyal and honest to me, I've been keeping this secret to long.

I was going to have to tell him.

But first I think I'll steal Jou's ice cream and make him cry.

Innocence?

I think not.
