Vanilla: Hi again!! Just letting you all know, I am going to try updating once a week with this story. Like I did with the first story I wrote here. I like doing that, 'cause once a week is a good time for updates! I couldn't update last week though because my dad was home, and every time I tried he'd annoy me reeaaaalllyy badly. -.-; I hate my dad. Bleh. Now that he's at work again though, I can update weekly!! Yay for that!!!

Yuugi: What she said about her dad was actually true. Usually she just doesn't update because she's lazy and would rather eat and talk on the phone then update...

Vanilla: ::glares at Yuugi:: Yuugi-Kun!! Don't tell the world, that!!! They don't need to know!!

Yuugi: I just thought it would be nice if I told them.....

Yami: AWWWW! ::hugs Yuugi tightly:: Isn't he the sweetest???

Yuugi: ::hugs back:: ::happy place::

Vanilla: ; Whatever....meh...

Vanilla: Thank you all of you who R&R'd my story!! =D You all made me feel so special! ::huggles::

Yami: Will you shut up already?? I want to hear what happens with my hikari and his best friend!!

Vanilla: -.-; Fine...gomen, Yami. Bleh...um...on to the story!

Yuugi and Yami: YAAAAAYE!

Jounouchi ran into his house slamming the door. The TV was still on, and the living room was a mess. There were beer bottles every where. But his dad was no where in sight. "He's probably at a bar or something...." Jounouchi thought to himself. Not that it mattered to him. Whenever his dad was there, he would yell at Jounouchi for every little thing. Jounouchi liked it when he was gone; it gave him the whole apartment to himself.

Because Jounouchi lived in a very small and cheap apartment with his drunken father, there weren't many rooms. There was a kitchen where the other half was a living room, a bedroom, and another abnormally small bedroom that had a door to the small bathroom, which was the size of a closet. This was Jounouchi's room.

Jounouchi dived onto his loft bed. The bed contained a stained pillow without a pillowcase, and a sheet to cover up the ripped mattress. Usually this annoyed Jounouchi whenever he laid on it, but right now he could care less. He buried his face into the pillow, with tears stinging in his eyes. Jounouchi was brave. He lived a hard life, and was able to handle it. The only family he really had was a drunken father, and a mother who left him and toke his little sister, Shizuka with her. He was able to deal with this without it letting it bother him. He thought that he would be able to handle rejection too the day it happens to him. But he couldn't. This hurt. It hurt really badly. Nothing could possibly hurt more then this.

When he first saw Yuugi, that day in Domino High, he thought that he was wimpy; annoying, even. Not worth even paying attention too. Him and Honda, used to make fun of Yuugi. They found it fun to tease the weak people, at that time. But one day, when him and Honda were getting beat up by that one guy, Yuugi saved them. He stood up to that man. He asked him to stop. At that very moment, Jounouchi realized that Yuugi wasn't weak. He was brave, and had a really big caring heart. He had fallen in love with Yuugi. That's when he started to be friends with him. He loved being around him. And everyday he loved Yuugi more and more.

He wanted to tell Yuugi how he felt. He was just waiting for the right moment. But the right moment never came. It was now too late. Yuugi had never loved him back. He loved Yami...and Yami loved him back. There would never be a future for Jounouchi and Yuugi together.

A tear fell down Jounouchi's cheek. He couldn't stop himself from crying, this time. "Yuugi..." he whispered. His whispers were covered, however, from his sobbing. "...I wish I could've told you before this...I love you..."

School was always hard for Yuugi. It was so hard to pay attention!! It was just so boring. But today it was even harder for the small teen to pay attention. He just couldn't let the fact, of what happened with Jounouchi, this morning slip his mind. "Is he okay...?" "What happened?" "-Will- he be alright?" These questions and many more kept going through his mind.

"Motou-San!!" screamed a high pitched voice from the front of the classroom. Yuugi looked up with a gasp. "Will you please pay attention?? You're always off in your own world!! That's why your grades are so low!!" Yuugi turned a shade of crimson from embarrassment. He heard a few of his classmates laughing quietly in the background. "G-gomen nasai...Takazuzuki[1]-Sensai.[2]" Yuugi whispered. He stared down at the floor, trying not to meet his teacher's eyes. Takazuzuki, was Yuugi's least favorite teacher. She was always so mean to him. "Hm...whatever." She replied. "Also, what happened to your stupid friend, Jounouchi-San? He's never absent from school..." Yuugi looked up. He looked really sad, at the thought of his best friend. This was because he was so worried about him. "He's...he's sick today, so he stayed home..." Takazuzuki nodded in agreement. "Okay, fine. And now can we please go back to the lesson? Motou-San, I don't want you disrupting the class again, understand?" Yuugi nodded. "Hai Tazkazuzuki-Sensai. Gomen nasai..."

Finally, the last bell rang. "Thank God!!" Yuugi thought to himself. Any longer, and he thought for sure he would die. He must've been yelled at least 100 times. Each teacher yelled at him too many times to count.

"Yuugi!!" Anzu said. She rushed over to her smaller friend, with a smile on her face. "Are you okay?? You really weren't paying attention today..." "Yeah...I was thinking about Jounouchi-Kun...and what happened this morning." Yuugi explained. "Mmm..." Anzu replied. Her smile had now vanished from her face.

Honda and Ryou soon ran over to meet up with Yuugi and Anzu.

Ryou then bowed his head in apology. "I'm sorry everyone, but I have some were to go right now..." A blush formed on his face. "I will see you guys tomorrow!! Bye!!" He then rushed off away from his friends. Yuugi smiled to himself. "He's probably going out with Bakura..." He thought.

Yuugi looked up at Anzu and Honda. "Um...guys...I'm still really worried about Jounouchi-Kun...do you want to come with me to his house? I want to go now to see if he's doing okay." Yuugi looked up at his friends with a glance of hope in his eyes. Honda smiled. "Yeah. I'll go." "Me too!!" Anzu said, energetically. "Okay!!" Yuugi smiled up at them. "Let's go!!"

Yuugi looked up at a tall building. It was an apartment building, where Jounouchi lived in. Him Anzu, and Honda, all walked inside and went up to the third [3] floor. They looked at the name tags on the doors, until they seen the one that said "Jounouchi" on it. "This is his house..." Honda said. Yuugi nodded. Suddenly he was nervous to see Jounouchi. Why did he feel that way?

They knocked on the door. No answer. Honda peered into the peek hole in the door. "Um...Jou? You there??" He said. But no one answered. "No one's there..." Honda said. He looked sad and worried. "Are you sure, Honda?" Anzu asked. "Yeah I'm sure..." Honda looked down at the floor. "I knew Jounouchi for a very long time. No matter how sad or mad he is, he will always answer the door. And if he doesn't, his dad will, and yell at Jounouchi for not answering. He's probably out or something..." Yuugi looked down at the floor as well. "Jounouchi-Kun...where are you...?" Anzu patted Yuugi on his back, trying to confert her childhood friend. "Yuugi...it'll be okay...we'll try again, tomorrow or something." Yuugi nodded. "Yeah...okay...thanks guys..."

The truth was, Jounouchi –had- gone out. He decided to walk to the arcade or something, to get his mind off of Yuugi. "I don't think I'll go to school tomorrow either...I don't feel like it...I'm not ready to face Yuugi yet..." He said out loud. But...Jounouchi stopped. He'd have to go to school sometime, he can't avoid Yuugi forever.

Suddenly Jounouchi bumped into someone.

Blushing from embarrassment he bowed in apology. "Eh...uhh...sorry...I was thinking about things and I wasn't paying attention."

"You stupid mutt...you need to start watching where you're going..."

Jounouchi looked up with a gasp. In his horror he saw his rival and also small crush, Seto Kaiba. His blushed darkend and he felt himself get angry. "I'M NOT A MUTT!!"

Seto laughed to himself. "He gets mad so easily...he's so immature...it's...cute..." He thought. "Whatever lap dog...just watch where you're going next time." He then walked away without saying goodbye.

Jounouchi glared in the direction Seto walked off in. Yeah...Jounouchi liked Seto, but he was nothing like Yuugi. He was always insulting Jounouchi, and calling him mutt. Once again, there was no hope for a relationship between them two. Seto obviously hated him.

Jounouchi sighed, feeling sad again. How could he forget about his sadness, when everyone keeps making it worse?

"I'm home Jiichan..." Yuugi said entering his house. Surgoku looked up from what he was doing. "Konnichiwa, Yuugi!" He smiled. "How was school?" "Fine...I'll be up in my room, jiichan..." Then he left without saying anything else. "Yuugi..." Surgoku watched Yuugi walk upstairs. "Something must've happened..." He said. "I hope he's okay..."

Yuugi lay down on his bed. His Sennen Puzzle started to glow, and Yami appeared next to him. "Yuugi...the whole thing with Jounouchi...is really bothering you, isn't it?" He sat on the bed next to Yuugi rubbing his back in a comforting matter. Yuugi loved Yami's touch. It always made him feel better, but right now it wasn't helping at all. "Yeah..." Yuugi then felt himself crying. "I don't know what happened!! This morning when I told him me and you where dating...he ran away. Me, Honda, and Anzu went to his house before, but he wasn't there....I'm really worried about him!!" Yuugi sobbed into his pillow. "Yuugi..." Yami picked Yuugi up in his arms. He kissed his cheek. "Don't cry...I'm sure he'll be okay." He used his hands to wipe away Yuugi's tears. He hugged Yuugi close. "I'm sure he wouldn't want to see you crying either..." Yami said. "Yeah...I guess..." Yuugi leaned his head on Yami's chest. "Thanks Yami..." Yuugi looked up into Yami's eyes. Yami leaned down and kissed his lighter half, gently. "I love you Yuugi..."Yami said through a mind-link. ::"Yami-Kun....I love you too..."::

It was now dark out and Jounouchi was standing outside the door to his apartment. "Dad's home..." He thought to himself. He looked through the peek hole to see his dad lying on the couch with a beer in his hand. He looked really angry. "Maybe I shouldn't go in there...he'll probably beat me and everything for coming home late...I don't want to deal with that..." He started to walk away. "But...where will I go...?" He thought to himself. He couldn't go over Yuugi's house. Like he said before, he wasn't ready to see him yet. "I know!! I'll go over Honda's house!" He decided. Honda lived by himself, and he was sure that if he asked, he would be able to stay over. He walked down the block in the direction of Honda's house.

He rang the doorbell, and Honda opened the door. "Jounouchi...? What are you doing here?" He asked. "My dad got drunk, and I didn't want to go home so I came here. Um...would it be okay if I spend the night, here?" Honda stared at Jounouchi. "Sure, of course you can!! Come in!!"

Jounouchi walked into Honda's house. "Thanks for letting me stay..." Jounouchi said. "Yeah..." Honda answered. "Oh, and Honda?" Jounouchi asked. "Yeah, Jou?" Replied Honda. "Do you think you can do me a favor, and not tellYuugi that I came to your house, tonight?" Honda stared at Jounouchi for a moment and then finally said, "Yeah...okay fine..."

"But...um...Jounouchi?" Honda started to say.

"What?" Jounouchi asked. He blinked.

"I just wanted to ask you what happened this morning. Why did you run off like that? You had Yuugi, and all of us worried about you all day."

Jounouchi looked down at the floor, suddenly looking really sad. "I...well, it's because..."

The next day at school, Jounouchi wasn't in a second time, making Yuugi really worried once again. At the end of the school day, Yuugi went over to Honda, and Anzu once again and asked, "Do you want to come with me to Jounouchi's house? I'm going to go there to see what happened, again." Honda looked down at the floor. Anzu also suddenly looked worried.

Last night, Jounouchi explained what had happened to him, to Honda. Honda had then told Anzu what happened to him. Honda had not told Yuugi, however. He felt that this was something he should hear personally from, Jounouchi, alone.

"Yuugi...maybe you should go by yourself." Honda suggested. "Yeah..." Anzu said. "I um...have a feeling that this is something that should be discussed by you two while you're alone. Honda and I will just get in the way."

Yuugi stared up at them, not fully understanding what they were trying to get at all of this. "Um...okay fine...I'll see you guys, later, then!!" He waved goodbye to his two friends and ran off in the direction of Jounouchi's apartment.

He knocked on the door to Jounouchi's apartment. Jounouchi opened the door looking down at his smaller friend. "Hi...Yuugi...come in. My dad is out so it's okay..." Yuugi nodded and walked inside.

"Um...Jounouchi...I came to ask you...are you okay? You just ran off on Monday, and now you were absent today too..."

"Yeah...Yuugi, about that...the reason for that was...well...I was jealous because you're dating your Yami..." He turned away so he wouldn't have to face Yuugi.

"What...what do you mean...? I don't understand, Jou. Why would you be jealous...?"

Jounouchi turned back, so he could look into Yuugi's lavender eyes. He put his hands on the smaller boy's shoulders. "Yuugi...it's because..." He moved his face closer so he could kiss Yuugi on the lips. Yuugi's eyes grew wide. Jounouchi then moved away. Yuugi let out a small gasp. He blushed a bright red. "Um...J-Jounouchi...?"

"Yuugi...it's because I'm in love with you. I loved you since I first got to know you. You're so sweet...and nice...and..." He started blushing now as well. "I think you're cute too."

Yuugi stared at the floor. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jounouchi actually loved him??

For a while Yuugi loved Jounouchi too. He loved the way he was brave, and really kind to him. But he felt it was wrong to be in love with his best friend. It was hard, and almost impossible, but he forced himself to stop. That's when he started to talk to Yami, and he fell in love with him.

Yuugi thought that Jounouchi didn't like him in that way, but really...he did? This was too much for Yuugi to handle.

"I did too, Jounouchi-Kun...I did for a very long time...but then...I thought it was wrong to love you." He looked up into Jounouchi's eyes. "Yuugi..." Jounouchi pushed Yuugi against the wall. "It wasn't wrong...it never would be..." He pushed Yuugi's hands against the wall so he wouldn't move. "What am I doing...?" Jounouchi didn't understand what he was doing but he couldn't stop himself. He once again pushed his face closer to Yuugi. "I love you Yuugi-Kun..." He kissed the smaller boy, entering his tongue in the smaller boy's mouth. Their tongues touched together shyly.

"What's going on??" Yuugi asked himself. Tears filled his eyes. Why was this happening...?

"Jou-Jounouchi-Kun..."

Yami: ::GASP:: YUUGI!! HOW COULD YOU!?!?!? ;.; ::sobs::
