Disclaimer: don't own...no point in asking..........
A/N: This is a rather pathetic chapter, soz, I'd revise it but my nostalgia gets the better of me. .;; ano...gomen ne minna-san for not updating yesterday like I said...ano...my friend was having a sleepover for her birthday. We stayed up, watched InuYasha, Furi Curi, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun. (Well, I missed FLCL, I fell asleep in a chair and woke up the floor. ;; Like to know how that happened...)
Ano, enjoy the new chapter.....................
'thoughts' =================================================================
Never before had Yugi seen Jou like that. Usually, trying to be strong, Jou would cover his problems with indifference, wanting help from no one. He tried to be strong through his troubles, he tried to survive them, and althogh Yugi and his friends would have helped him every time, he still tried to depend upon himself.
Yugi, though worried for his best friend, didn't ask again what had happened. Jou wouldn't tell...and that was what scared the tri-haired boy. Over the night he had woken up repeatedly, and, running to his room caught sight of Jou crying in his sleep. It pained him greatly, seeing Jou in such a state, crying, hurt, scared... of what he still wasn't sure.
If only he could help him...
Leaning forward, Yugi buried his face into his hands. It seemed too much for him, seeing Jonouchi like this...
Footsteps nearby caught Yugi's attention, and he wiped his eyes quickly, trying his best to look normal -- not sad, not like he had been crying. There was a sliding of the door, and Jou walked in.
"Yug'..." he said quietly. "Where is everyone?"
Yugi smiled at his friend. "Jiisan went to pick up some new games for the shop...Yami went with him."
"Are you feeling well?"
"Well? I'm fine. This is nothing." He mustered a grin.
Yugi laughed slightly. "It wasn't nothing last night...you passed out right at the door..."
Jou looked away. 'Nothing happened...I swear, Yug'...'
"Do you think you'll be able to go home tonight, Jou?"
Bewildered, he faced the tri-haired boy. "I-I can't Yugi!" He wanted to hide his face, to hide the tears he felt welling up in his eyes...
"Why not?" Yugi asked firmly, pulling himself closer to his friend. "Please tell me! ...whoever did this to you should be reported to the police!"
"Yug'...I can't...I shouldn't..." The tears grew large and drifted down his cheeks. He tried to look away, but he couldn't; How could he tear away from Yugi's mesmerizing eyes...
"Jou, you've got to!" Yugi pleaded. "Please..."
Jou's gaze met Yugi's, and for what felt like forever they didn't break their stare.
There was a welling inside of Jou; one he didn't recognize, and glancing away quickly he tried to rid himself of it. It didn't work; before he knew it he was gazing at Yugi again.
"Yugi -- ," Jou whispered, and unable to resist, pulled theboy into a kiss, soft and warm. Yugi broke away suddenly, surprised.
There was a moment of silence, and then Jou pulled him into a deeper, more passionate kiss, all thoughts leaving him except for that of the moment.
