New chapter…already?! I'm getting better at this updating thing! Sort of. Well I was inspired to write more because I'm nearly at 100 reviews…and I was too impatient to wait! ^__^ although knowing my luck my hundredth review will be a really nasty flame or something…
All Japanese translations are in my bio at the bottom.
New format, I have Microsoft word and I'm gonna use it! So expect many different font types (italics, bold, underlining) just because I now can put them in!
~*~Love on Ice~*~
Jou walked up to the game shop after school, in his backpack was the perfect gift wrapped neatly ready to give to Yugi.
Yugi was lying in bed – again. Currently being told off for attempting to get up – again.
"Yugi, how many times must I tell you?"
"Oh come on Yami, he's bored."
Yami turned; irritated to the new voice, Jou was standing smirking in the doorway.
"And what do you want?"
"Nothing. I wanted to talk to my friend. Alone."
Yugi looked puzzled but signalled to Yami that it was okay for him to leave. Yami left after sending Jou a death glare.
"I got you a present Yugi."
"You too? Wow, I feel like it's my birthday or something! You really didn't have to get me anything."
"I wanted to."
Jou watched Yugi's face as he held out a thin package, wrapped in golden paper and with a matching gold bow.
It was very small, and as Yugi carefully unwrapped it his face changed from wonder to pure amazement. He was totally shocked, and was almost in tears. He managed to talk in a low whisper.
"Jounouchi-kun…where did you manage to get this?"
"I thought you might like it, I found an old shop down the city, and this was going cheap…"
Yugi looked up, tears in his eyes as he threw himself onto Jou.
"Thank you so much. I can't believe you remembered."
Jou smiled sadly as he held Yugi in a tight embrace.
"How could I forget?"
~*~Flashback~*~
Ten year old Yugi was sitting at his desk playing with his Duel Monsters Deck. Anzu was sitting next to him and asking random questions, she was really into the game but couldn't afford many cards of her own.
"So what does that one do?"
"It's a magic card; it raises the attack power of my Dark Magician."
"That card?"
"Yeah, he's my favourite monster card. Well, apart from this one."
He took out a card that wasn't with the rest of his deck, but carefully placed in a plastic wallet in his bag. He handled the card very carefully, as if it were about to rip.
"That's pretty! Where did you get that one?"
"My mother got it for me…right before she passed away…"
"I'm sorry Yugi, but it is a nice card. You are really lucky to have a nice one like that."
"Yeah, it's not very strong, or rare, but it's my all time favourite!"
Over the other side of the classroom Jounouchi and Honda were listening in, Jou nodded to Honda who walked up behind Yugi, and grabbed the card.
"Hey, give me that back!"
"What this piece of card? Why would you want it?"
"It's mine! Please give it back!"
"Hmm…no!"
Honda laughed as the little Yugi attempted to get the card back and simply ignored Anzu's threats to go get the teacher. He took out a pair of scissors and began to cut into the card, much to Yugi's horror.
"NO! You destroyed my card!"
Jou, who had been watching the whole thing, suddenly felt terrible. Even Honda started to attempt to sellotape the thing back together when Yugi began to cry.
But it was no use…Yugi's favourite card had been destroyed.
~*~End Flashback~*~
"Thank you Jou, this really means a lot to me."
"Ah, forget about it! I just wanted to get you something nice!"
Jou sat next to Yugi and wrapped an arm around him, Yugi cuddled close, leaning his head against Jou's chest.
They stayed like that for a while, Jou gently stroking Yugi's hair as the smaller held the card, staring at it and tracing the picture with his finger. Occasionally Yugi would sniff, or give some indication he was crying and Jou would kiss his forehead to quieten him.
The rain was beating down heavily, and the strong wind made the rain sound louder than ever.
Yami was getting a bit bored, and was suffering withdrawal symptoms from being away from his hikari for too long.
He opened the bedroom door and caught Jou just as he kissed Yugi's forehead. Eyes wide he stared at Jou who just stared back, smirking. Yugi looked up and noticed his Yami's angry look.
"Yami? What's wrong?"
Yami said nothing; instead he stormed out of the room, down the stairs and out the door.
"YAMI! Jou, where is he going?"
"How would I know?"
"We have to go find him!"
"I'm not going anywhere, it's raining and it's cold."
"Fine. I'll go."
Yugi got up and managed to reach his crutches. He slowly made his way out of the room and down the stairs but without the speed of his Yami how was he ever going to catch him?
He heard the TV turn on in his bedroom, and any hope of Jou helping was immediately gone. Sighing he exited the game shop and began to search for Yami.
His cast was getting wet, he was tired, and his leg hurt like crazy, but he didn't care. He just had to find Yami.
A strong gust of wind almost blew him over, he felt like giving up but suddenly a large car pulled up beside him. The window rolled down and an icy cold voice spoke.
"I know where Yami is. Get in. I'll help you if you do me a favour in return."
Yugi nodded gratefully and climbed into the limo.
~*~To be Continued~*~
That chapter sucked! But I needed it for the plot. There was some fluff in the chapter, but it was Jou/Yugi!
Please review!
