I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Chapter 4
"…so anyway, the guy says 'that's not 710, that says OIL'!" (1) the group burst out laughing at Joey's joke.
Joey was still laughing when he turned to Yami who was sitting looking rather solemn with the group at lunchtime.
"What's up, Yami?" Joey asked. "Didn't you get the joke? See, the…"
"No, Joey, I got it," Yami answered before his friend could finish his explanation.
"So, what's wrong then?" Joey asked again.
"Nothing," Yami answered simply. In truth he was still thinking about what Bakura had said, and was also a bit peeved with the fact that Mokuba wasn't there with them that lunchtime like he normally was now-a-days.
"Yami," Yugi's voice that was normally soft was stern and it bought Yami out of his thoughts. "Can I speak to you over there for a second?" Yugi pointed to the table where the dinner utensils were kept.
Yami nodded, and got up, following Yugi.
Yugi spoke first as soon as they stopped. "Bakura told me about the talk you and him had in Physics. Yami, he's right. You have to talk to him. Look at me when I'm speaking to you, damn it!"
Yami immediately looked up from the ground and frowned at his younger brother. "Yugi, language!" he scolded automatically.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "Oh, please Yami, I've heard Joey say worse than that. Yami, please, you have to tell Mokuba how you feel. I haven't seen you looking so down since they cancelled 'Home and Away'(2)"
A few people turned around at the two when Yugi said that and looked at Yami strangely.
"Is that 'never talking about that again'?" Yami said, obviously annoyed.
Yugi chuckled lightly, then looked at his older brother seriously. "Yami, I swear to the gods that if you don't tell him, I will."
Yami looked at his brother, horrified. Okay, since when had he become so evilly manipulative? "You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh, yeah? I think I saw Mokuba in the boys' cloakroom. It wouldn't take me long to go in there and tell him."
"Yugi Moto, I swear that if you weren't my little brother I would have killed you in the most painful way possible by now," Yami yelled, as he ran off to the cloakroom.
Yugi laughed some more at his brother's retreating back. "It's all good!" he said with a smile.
Yami entered the cloakroom, to see Mokuba with that same boy he had seen with him during his P.E lesson. Yep, they definitely looked friendly towards each other. Yami's eyes widened when he saw Mokuba lean forward and touch his lips softly to the other's. He felt his chest contract, and tried to take huge gulps of air, but it didn't make it to his lungs. Dismayed by the sight, Yami ran from the cloakroom.
Mokuba looked up when he heard the doors open, and saw Yami running out of the cloakroom like a mad rhino was on his heels. Mokuba bit his lip. 'Oh, gods, did he see that?' he thought frantically. He left the boy, who's lips he had just kissed, and went running after Yami.
Yami ran into the boys' toilets for no particular reason. He leant on the white sinks and finally managed to gulp down some air. He felt his eyes start to sting with tears and blinked them back, before swallowing the lump that had gathered in his throat.
'Why did I have to see that?' he thought. 'No,' he corrected himself. 'It was better that I saw that instead of chasing after someone that was out of reach.'
The realisation came rushing to Yami and this bought on the tears once again, but which he forbade to fall.
Mokuba threw open the doors of the boys' toilets. Why Yami had to decide to come in here was beyond him.
He found Yami leaning on the sinks, the palm of his hands braced upon the white edge as if holding on for dear life.
Yami looked up when the doors opened, and Mokuba saw pain, anger, confusion and… fear in those crimson eyes.
"Mokuba, what are you doing here?" Yami asked, and Mokuba heard the emotions that were already portrayed in Yami's eyes.
"Yami, please hear me out" Mokuba started. "That, what you saw in there, was not what it seemed." Yami opened his mouth to answer with a witty comeback, but Mokuba wouldn't let him. "That guy was just a friend. And he's straight. He only wanted me to show him how to kiss 'cause he didn't know how, and he and his girlfriend are going on their third date tonight."
Yami's eyes widened a bit. "Mokuba, why did you do that after what you told us about that guy Liam back in Tokyo?"
"Yami, I would never let myself be deceived like that again. And besides," Mokuba finished quietly, "this guy already knows that I like someone."
Yami tried to turn away from the object of his desires, but he couldn't. Mokuba walked towards Yami slowly. When he was only a few steps from Yami, he cupped his face in both hands.
"Mokuba, we can't…" Yami started, but Mokuba silenced him with a soft kiss. It was only a chaste kiss, but Yami still had shivers running up and down his spine.
Mokuba smiled and united their lips again, closing his eyes when he saw Yami close his.
This kiss was more passionate. Mokuba lowered his arms to wrap them around Yami's waist, while Yami's arms wound around Mokuba's neck.
The kiss was deepened by Mokuba running his tongue along Yami's lips, and was immediately granted access to the warm, wet cavern of the other.
Yami moaned deep in his throat when he felt Mokuba explore every part of his mouth, making bolts of lightning pass through him.
The kiss finally ended from lack of air, and both boys were panting heavily.
Mokuba leant his forehead on Yami's before finding breath with which to speak.
"Yami," he murmured. "I love you."
Of course Yami already knew that he was the one Mokuba had feelings for, judging by that kiss, but love?
"I know I have only known you a while since I came back," Mokuba explained. "But even before I left to go to Tokyo, you were always someone I admired, respected and looked up to. When I came back and saw you again, I realised that although those feelings were still there, love was there also."
Mokuba closed his eyes, and hoped that Yami felt the same. That he hadn't messed up before anything could truly start between them.
He got his answer when Yami whispered in his ear. "I love you too, Mokuba." Yami joined his and Mokuba's lips in a kiss in which he, Yami, put all his feelings.
However, this retelling of passion was not to last, as Mokuba heard a gasp behind them. He broke the kiss off and turned his head, while Yami looked over Mokuba's shoulder, to see the intruder. Both boys' eyes widened.
There in the doorway were Yugi, Joey and Seto.
Gasp Dun dun!
Phew, well its a relief to get that over with. Please review to tell me how I did on my first kiss scene :)
A/N (1) This is an actual joke: a blonde walks into a garage and says, what does 710 mean? The guy looks at it and says 'that's not 710, that's OIL!' Sorry to all blonde type people out there. I am not in anyway prejudice. In fact, two of my best friends are blonde!
(2) 'Home and Away' is an Australian (did I spell that right?) soap opera. I don't own it!
Read and review people, read and review!
