This chapter is dedicated to Griffin Slash, although she will probably never read it, having called the first chapter gay. And she likes Duel Masters!!! It's a rip off of Yugioh!! How dare you!!All I can say is...look at your name.

Strata...you're close. Veeeeery close.

I'm nearly done!! Woo hoo!

I want to apologise for the delay. I seriously never meant for it to take this long, but whenever I went to write this, I got put off. (Which is no excuse for procrastination of this enormity, I know...)

Joe was pissed now. Jet had interrupted him when he was... very busy, completely putting him off, and now he didn't care?? No way. "Jet, you'd better be decent cos I'm coming in no matter what!"

The door flew open, and Joe came in, seriously flaming. He stopped suddenly, Jet was lying on his bed, clothed only from the waist down. "Jet...?"

Jet sat up slowly. "Joe. Before I tell you everything, think hard. Are you sure you want to know. It's not going to be easy."

Joe cracked a small smile. After all the shit he'd been put through these past few weeks, he wasn't going to be put off by a stupid warning like that.

"Of course I want to know, Jet, you idiot! Just tell me before I get even madder!"

Jet laughed. "Sure Joe." He took a deep breath, and the story began.

"So...you've been dreaming about me, and fell in love with first the dream me, and then, me, me? How... can...are you sure?"

Jet wondered briefly why Joe sounded so strange, but nodded. "Of course I'm sure. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have told you."

Joe was looking at Jet strangely, and Jet was beginning to get nervous. "Um, Joe, look, I'm really sorry, I just, you wanted to know, and I can't really keep anything from you anymore, but if you want, we can just pretend this never happened...Joe? What are you doing?"

He didn't have a chance to say anything else, because Joe, who had been leaning in slowly, closed his lips over Jet's.

When Joe drew back, he was smiling. "You wanna know something, Jet?" He whispered, and the other nodded silently.
"When you interrupted me, I was thinking about you. Thinking hard." It took a few moments for Jet to realise what Joe meant, but when he got it, his face went red.

"Um, what does that mean, Joe?" He asked, and Joe laughed.

"It means I like you too, idiot."
