Joey's POV

The gym-accident is already a few days ago and every time I think of it I feel so ashamed. He already thought I was an idiot, I don't even want to know what he thinks of me now… No… No that's not true… I do want to know what he thinks of me. Maybe there is a little chance that he doesn't think of me as an idiot at all. Very little.

"Joey are you okay? You look so distracted…" I suddenly hear Yugi's voice say.

I look at him and paste a grin on my face. "Ya sure Yugi. I'm okay."

We're at Yugi's place, playing Duel Monsters, but the only thing my thoughts do are wandering of to Kaiba. I don't even notice that I'm losing badly. I go home after the game, pass my dad who's asleep on the couch, and walk to my room. I put my radio on and fall on my bed, staring at the ceiling.

"My life is brilliant, my love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure…"

My thoughts immediately go to Kaiba again. Damn love songs…

"You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true…"

I growl. Why does everything, every word… this song, remind me of him?

"I saw you face in a crowded place, and I don't know what to do…"

I jump up from my bed and turn the radio off. Silence. No love song. Good. I sigh and look at the clock on my desk. 21:30. It's way too early to go to sleep now, so I sit back down on my bed, thinking of Kaiba thanks to that stupid love song.

I'm going to tell him how I feel. Just say it, and it'll be all over. It can't be so hard now can it? I'll do it as soon as possible, tomorrow on school. Yes, that's a promise that I make to myself… Maybe sleeping now already isn't such a bad idea. I want it all to be over.

School, next day
Joey's POV

Damn, damn, damn! Stupid promise! The school day is almost over and I haven't seen any good moment to talk with Kaiba. I'm so nervous… The bell rings? Is it so late already? Damn! I stand up from my seat like everyone does and quickly walk to Yugi.

"Yugi, you don't have to wait for me." I think about a good excuse. "I have uh… detention and I must stay here for an hour longer." That must do it.

"What did you do then?" Yugi asks surprised.

"I uh…" I see Kaiba leaving the class. "Uh, I'll tell it later Yugi! I have to go now."

I run out of the class just in time to see Kaiba turning a corner to my left and go after him. I still can go back now… I'm really nervous, my hands are shaking a little bit.

"Kaiba…?" I try. I can hardly hear myself. "Kaiba?" I try again. This time I can hear myself and Kaiba does too. He turns around, he looks surprised now he sees me.

"What is it Wheeler?" He asks.

"I uh…" I quickly put my hands in my pocket. If they keep shaking like this they're going to fall of soon. "I… Can we talk?"

"Talk? About what?"

"Uhm I… Well you see…" I notice the hallway we're standing in is empty. Maybe things aren't going so bad after all.

"You're wasting my time Wheeler." He takes a step towards me. Another one. I get more nervous. Damn he's close.

"I-I just want to tell you…" I stop again. Why is this so hard?

"Look Wheeler, I don't have time for this." Like I'm hypnotized, I look at his mouth, his moving lips. "Just tell what you want to say. And if you can't say what you want then I'll just go." I almost don't hear what he says anymore. The only thing I'm interested in now are his lips.

"So what is i-…"

Before I know what I'm doing, I throw my arms around his neck and push my lips against his. I can hear Kaiba gasp of surprise. My heart beats like my life depends on it. I want to stay in this moment forever, but then Kaiba pushes me away roughly causing me to fall on the floor.

"What the hell do you think you were doing mutt!"

I look up at him. Kaiba is furious. This… this isn't what I wanted… Not at all!

"I-I love you…" I say just loud enough to hear it.

Furious turns into shock. He looks at me with big eyes.

"I-I'm sorry…" Is the first thing that pops up in my head.

Shock turns back into furious.

"You're sick Wheeler!" He snaps at me.

I bow my head, I can feel tears coming up.

"What the fuck were you thinking!"

I crawl up from the floor, my eyes full of tears I don't want to spill. "I already said I'm sorry for loving you!" I turn around and run away.

Seto's POV

Finally the bell rings. Everyone stands up from his seats and leaves the class. Just when I turn the corner I can hear someone call me.

"Kaiba?"

I look around and to my surprise I see Wheeler.

"What is it Wheeler?" I ask. What does the mutt want from me?

"I uh…" He quickly puts his hands in his pocket like he tries to hide something. "I… Can we talk?"

Now I'm even more surprised. "Talk? About what?"

"Uhm I… Well you see…"

He's irritating me with that mumbling of his, I can hardly understand him. I take some steps towards him, maybe I can hear him more clearly then. He looks very nervous.

"You're wasting my time Wheeler."

"I-I just want to tell you…"

He's really annoying me now. "Look Wheeler, I don't have time for this." What the hell is he staring at anyway? "Just tell what you want to say. And if you can't say what you want then I'll just go."

If he doesn't answer to this question I'm going to leave. I was patient long enough.

"So what is i-…" Suddenly I see two arms go around my neck and feel Wheeler's lips on mine. I gasp. I don't really realize what's happening, but finally I push him away and he falls on the floor.

"What the hell do you think you were doing mutt!" I'm really furious.

"I-I love you…" He answers softly.

He loves me?... My eyes grow big. He must be lying. Or this is just a very sick joke.

"I-I'm sorry…"

He reminds me of that time with gym when he fell over against me. Did he do that on purpose? I get furious again.

"You're sick Wheeler!" I snap at him.

He bows his head. What the hell is he doing now?

"What the fuck were you thinking!" I ask him again. I don't want to hear that 'I love you' crap again. He crawls up from the floor, his eyes full of tears. He surprises me again.

"I already said I'm sorry for loving you!" He yells to me and turns around, running away. I look at his back, confused. What was he thinking?

Joey's POV

I throw the door of my room open and slam it back shut. Why did this have to happen? But what was I actually expecting from Kaiba? That he would say that he loves me too? I don't know. He hurt me like no person ever did. I feel so… I don't even know what I'm feeling. Is this what they call love sorrow? I look around, my tears still hold back. I can't handle the silence now. I turn my radio on and ironically enough they're playing that stupid love song again.

"You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true."

I fall on the ground and don't stand up again. I don't feel like it. The song goes on.

"But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you."

It's like that sentence plants itself inside my head and finally, my tears fall.

End of chapter two! The song I used is from James Blunt and is called 'You're beautiful'. It's a very pretty song. I hope you liked this chapter. Till the next one!
