Title: Ballad of the Missing
Summary: A Joukai/Kaichi thingy.... Anyways, Jyounouchi loves Kaiba, Kaiba loves Jyounouchi, but Kaiba kinda runs off to America and screws everything up before it gets started...
Rating: PG-13 for yaoi-ness, maybe R later on.... WAY later on....
Author notes: OK so this is a bit of a different kind of song fic, One verse per chapter so its longer and there's many, many sequels I'm planning (currently Where Will He Go? And Ballad of the Gone, Father Away Than This and that's not even the projected end of the series 0o.). These are all Evanescence songs, and the theme for this one is called Missing. Please note that I am using the lyrics as I hear them from my copy of he song and not the ones you can look up on the internet because the two do not match very distinctly (if it were something minor like one line I wouldn't mind but surprisingly its several 0o). Anyways I would also like any flamers and homophobes to please note that should they flame I will laugh at both their idiocy and their close-mindedness quite openly and probably publicly.
Reviewers: None!? WHAT?! ;; Don't you love me????
Chapter One, Forgive my Missing, My Forgetting
Please, Please forgive me, But I won't be home again Maybe someday you'll look up And, barely conscious, say to no one: "Isn't someone missing me?"
I paused, albeit momentarily, to glance back at the people behind me, my going away party-goers and party-throwers. I gave a slightly dismissive noise towards the more golden of the figures, in truth I was a bit shocked he'd come to see me off, things with Jyounouchi and I had been very tense lately. Very tense, and that was an understatement. Nearly every day they'd run into each other a fight had started, worse than usual and Seto even considered himself being nice for a change. Not as though he deserved it, all he did was assume I was insulting him and retaliate, but I didn't always want to put him down, just when the dog was acting like an idiot.... Which admittedly was a good deal of the time we'd spent together.
I wouldn't really call it quality time though, there were a few nice moments, I recalled taking my seat on the plane. Jyounouchi getting a high score and cheering happily, sharing a drink of coffee quietly in a café, Jyounouchi and I sharing a blanket after Mokuba had gone to bed (Jyounouchi had been babysitting). I leaned back, he was a cute little puppy, I shook my head fiercely, no there was no need for me to be thinking that. First of all, Seto Kaiba did not fall in love, and second of all the puppy, no, no, no, the dog was not romantically interested in him anyways. I know I could've spoken up, probably at anytime and won him over somehow, but I hadn't. Out of fear I guess, but the great Seto Kaiba was not supposed to love a ratty puppy dog, and the great Seto Kaiba also could not fear said ratty puppy.
So I had denied my feeling for the longest time, and eventually ran away to the US when I finally had things sorted out. Now I really can only wonder about the puppy's feelings. Not tht the question was hard to answer, a very firm no would do, still it would be nice to call him and here a very happy reply.
I sighed shook my head and closed my eyes. Sleep would do me good, I hadn't had much of it lately, preparing for my trip, making arrangements for Mokuba to stay with his friend, coming up with a better excuse then I just didn't feel like being around Jyounouchi for a while, getting yanked out of my bed at 4 in the morning by my brother and Yuugi-tachi who had decided to throw a surprise going away party...
It wasn't as though I was leaving forever, just for half a year, for business meetings and such like... I was having a bit of a personal vacation from those very amber eyes. I've always found it corny when a character in a book drools over another's eyes and claims to be lost, swallowed and drowned in their eyes. I found it rhetorical when they became pierced by another's gaze, but how else could it be explained? Jyounouchi's eye were the clearest amber color, and too beautiful not to drink in. I frowned; I should be sleeping, not thinking like some lovesick bishounen in a shounen- ai manga or something.
Wasn't the whole purpose of this trip to get over this sick and deranged fantasy? Not to incite it to greater levels! I waved the stewardess on when she stopped briefly by me. I looked, or glared more or less, at her for a moment, I suppose she was pretty by female standards, but her blonde hair wasn't nearly as nice as Jyounouchi's. I gave a very impatient growl, which she misunderstood to be directed at her and she began to spew and apology.
"Not you, gomen, I had lost my train of thought." I replied quickly with a dismissive wave and she bowed lightly as she left. I rubbed my temples as I felt a headache approaching. Must not think of the puppy, I repeated to myself.
I suppose after fifteen or twenty minutes of staring at the seat in front of me I finally fell asleep, though it didn't seem to make the plane ride any shorter. It seemed to be ages until I finally stepped off the plane into a very unfamiliar society, free of Yuugi-tachi, free of the stewardess (who I'd unfortunately mistaken for Jyounouchi when she woke me for dinner), and, best of all, free of a blonde haired and amber eyed puppy.
I pulled out a slightly crushed flower from my pocket, some petals were gold like his hair, other amber in hue, and lightly dropped it in the doorway of the plane. I glanced back at it only once before continueing on as stoic as always. As stoic as Seto Kaiba was always ment to be and therefore always has been.
Forgive my leaving you Jyounouchi... Forgive my missing you.... And forgive my forgetting you...
End Notes: OMG, its so short and I worked so hard! sob, sob, sob Well, that means you'll just have to review all the more so the Lovely Cap'n can think of something for the next chapter... It might help if I listened to this song instead of Where Will You Go....
Special Thanks: Special Thanks go out to Momoko and Bosie for inspiring and motivating me to do this (Bosie helped me notice that Missing would be an absofreakinperfect song and momoko encouraged me to keep writing. Much luffs on the both of them.))
