Waiting for the Rain
Chapter Five - After the Kiss

Hi!! This is my Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic. This fic is a Mai/Joey pairing. There might be some OOCness and the results of the Battle City Finals are pure speculation. I have it so that Mai loses to Joey, and he takes care of her after her attempted suicide. Hope you enjoy!! ^_^

I apologize to anyone I forgot about thanking in the last chapter, so forgive me. I wasn't sure when I'd be able to update because I got busted using my little brother's user, and he got his password changed as a result. Thankfully, I discovered a way to access the net from my Grandpa's user, which does not need a password. Yes, I know I'm a genius. Now if only my schoolwork was this easy...
The ideal lyrics for this chapter would be "You Don't Know" by 98*, I am too lazy to type them, so look them up. I would like to thank everyone who reviews and reads this, but I'm too lazy to type all the names (kinda explains my grades, don't it?)

Joey ignored the little nudges of reason trying to penetrate his thick skull. Mai was in his arms, they were kissing, passionately, and why would he want to end something like that? It was madness, he was in the midst of the happiest moment in his life, and he was seriously considering ending it because of his warped principles. Well it was not because his principles were warped, his principles were in fine condition. It was the rest of him that was flawed. He did not deserve Mai's touch; her love was a blessing that he had not earned. He would corrupt her, his beautiful goddess.
But was she not already corrupt? Was she not the one to throw her arms around his neck and kiss him into damnation? Wasn't it her fault, thus flawing Mai from the start? Did she not try to take her life, trying to drown herself, until you saved her?
Doesn't she owe you? She owes you her life, and so does she owe you this.
It was this thought that made Joey pull away. Mai didn't owe him anything, and he would never believe otherwise. Mai was wonderful, beautiful, and deserved a second chance more than anybody. Joey had done it out of...love? Yes, love for someone so special to him that he would die for her. Mai was the closest thing to a soul mate he'd ever known, and he thanked God every day for letting him walk through that park in time to save her. He couldn't do this to her. He wanted her badly, but he wanted her love so much more.
He needed Mai, needed her with every breath he took. He needed to see her in the morning, before he went to sleep; he had to hear her voice three times a day at least. He dreamed about her at night, thought about during the day. He wanted to be the best for her, in everything. He wanted to deserve her, he wanted to make her his, but she was perfection. You can't claim perfection. If you try, it slips away, leaves you with nothing but empty air. And a broken heart. And an eternal ache, somewhere in your chest that burns away your happiness, that leaves you feeling stranded and alone.
Or, that might be the after effects of eating spicy food. Joey wasn't sure which it would be. But he knew for sure that it would hurt, badly. He could survive the pain, he hoped. It wouldn't be his first broken heart or his last most likely. But it would still hurt, and if Mai broke his heart, it would hurt forever.
He had pulled away from her moments before, and the look on her face made him want to step right back into her arms. She was beautiful.
Mai knew only that kissing Joey felt so...right, that she never wanted it to end. But he pulled away and looked at her with such longing that it stole her breath. She felt wanted and womanly in his arms, and she shouldn't have. Joey was just a boy still, and it wasn't right for him to grow up so quickly.
Mai looked up into his eyes and she blushed. She felt her cheeks grow warm at the passion in his eyes. This is no boy; Mai thought to herself. This is a strong, desirable man. And he desired her. And she wanted him to kiss her again, and again and never stop.
"Joey..." Mai voice was husky and it sent pleasant shivers down Joey's spine.
"Yes, Mai?" Joey smiled at the woman of his dreams and saw an answering desire in her eyes.
"Do...do you mind how much older I am?" Mai felt it necessary to ask, just to be sure. The blonde man smiled, shook his golden head, and laughed. As he was laughing, Mai noticed something about Joey that had always been in the back of her mind: Joey Wheeler was an incredibly sexy man. And Mai was certain he looked even better without his clothes on...
Joey watched as Mai smiled at him. It was a shy smile, but very seductive. Joey felt his breath catch in his throat as he watched her step into his embrace. Mai tilted her head back so she could look into his eyes, letting her golden mane of hair fall down her back.
"Mai....you don't have to do this, love, really...." Joey didn't want her to feel any obligation to love him. Mai smiled her feline smile and pressed herself closer to him. Joey's arms tightened around her and she enjoyed the warmth of his body.
"I know that Joey. But I want to. I love you." Mai breathed those last three words as if to hide them from Joey's ears but he heard, and Mai was rewarded with a look of absolute joy on Joey's face.
"Mai, darling, I've loved you for a very long time. I was worried you would never feel that way for me." Joey was soaring on wings of sheer happiness; he didn't give a damn what people would think, the girl he loved, loved him.
"What about my age Joey? I'm so much older than you are..." Joey grinned down at her. He wanted this moment to never end.
"So? I guess I like older women..." Joey bent his head a little and kissed his girl. Mai pressed herself against him, and Joey winced. "Honey, if you keep doing that, I'm going to make love to you..."
Mai smiled happily.
"I know that."
He kissed her again, she tormented him again, and finally Joey swung her into his arms and carried her off to his bed.
They were in there the whole night.
