Chapter III: Promising Yugi
________________________________________________________________________
Joey finally awoke, the sheets of his bed tangled around his torso after a restless night's sleep.
He checked his clock.
9:18 AM.
He snuggled his head deep into his pillows, attempting to will away all memories of the pervious night.
'What can I say to Kaiba? What will he say? Should I just pretend we never did it? He doesn't seem to be the type to want anything to do with me so I don't have to worry about a relationship. But what am I going to do? I need to talk to him. Period.'
A million and one thoughts raced through Joey's mind.
'…damn. Why did I drink so much? … Argh! My first time with alcohol and I get a major hangover. Well, I guess I was pretty much raiding the coolers.'
Joey sighed as he rolled out of his bed onto the floor. He paused feeling his stomach quake.
'All I need is food.'
Joey soon found himself getting to know the restroom, especially the toilet, to a more intimate level.
After about an hour, Joey had taken a shower and felt much better. He didn't exactly know how many times he threw up, but he was guessing it was enough for one lifetime, or week, depending on how he decided to play his cards in the future.
Just as he was going to sit down on the couch, the phone rang.
'Please let it be Yugi… I cant talk to Kaiba yet… not yet.'
He picked up the white phone. "Hello?" he asked.
"Hey Joey. How are you feeling?" A cheerful voice asked.
"Oh, I've got a bit of a hangover. Other than that I'm fine Yug." Joey said as he parked his butt on the sofa.
Yugi giggled a bit on the other line. "I'd have to say you should after the way you treated the free bar."
"Well, it was free… "
"Speaking of free, that reminds me of Kaiba…"
"How's that?" Joey asked sounding slightly appalled. "He's not the, quote, free type."
"I meant since he was the provider of the free beer, but anyways, as I was saying. I didn't see you or Kaiba at all last night. Where were you guys? Not doing anything naughty were you?" Yugi teased.
Joey blushed on the other line before blurting out. "Wouldn't you like to know."
Joey immediately regretted that.
"I was just kidding, but… did you guys actually…" he trailed off. Joey didn't know what to say. Yugi took the silence wrong.
"Did you and Kaiba… sleep together Joey?" Yugi asked, lowering his voice so his grandfather and Yami wouldn't hear.
"Uhm…" Joey really hated to lie to Yugi. He figured his secret was safe with him though. "..possibly. Maybe not…"
"…its okay Joey. You don't have to tell me if you're not comfortable talking about it."
"Um, well you see…" Joey stopped talking. How would he explain to Yugi that he wasn't even sure who it was he had slept with? Yugi would definitely flip, he wasn't one to be fond of the idea of "sleeping around".
Yugi stayed silent, allowing Joey the chance to tell him.
"You don't have to tell me, but I would like to know… but only because I worry about you. And I care." Yugi said softly. "Did you, or not?"
"I'm pretty sure it was him…" Joey definitely regretted that.
Yugi didn't say anything right away, giving Joey time to correct himself, though Joey did no such thing.
"What do you mean 'you're pretty sure'? Are you telling me that you slept with some stranger? Joey! Do you realize how dangerous that is?"
Joey could hear the motherly tone in Yugi's voice.
"Joey, they could have STD's or something! What if they had AIDS?! Joey! What were you thinking?!"
Joey felt really bad now making Yugi worry so. He knew that the smaller boy could never truly get angry at him, just worried.
Yugi sighed. "At least I don't have to worry about you getting pregnant."
The blonde found himself biting back a laugh.
'hahaha, me getting pregnant would be pretty damn hilarious.'
"…did you call Kaiba yet? Maybe he would recall last night…"
"Yugi! Do you know how embarrassing it would be to have to ask someone if you had sex with them?! What if I didn't? Kaiba would never let it go!"
"But Joey, wouldn't you rather know?"
Joey puffed his cheeks hotly. "Not really, I'd rather not have anything to do with him…"
"Joey…"
"Tell ya what Yug, why don't we wait to see if Kaiba mentions anything, if not, then I'll just go to the doctors' to get some tests done to see if I have anything. Alright?"
Yugi sighed defeated. "I guess that's fine, I'm just-"
"Worried? Deathly concerned?"
He could almost sense the smile on the other boy's face.
"Thanks pal, I can always count on you to care. But I'll be okay, I'm a big boy. I'll manage."
They sat in silence for a while.
"Hey Yug. I can tell you're really stressed about this whole thing, so, just to take a little burden off your shoulders, I'll even take a pregnancy test!"
That had done it.
Yugi burst into hysterics on the other line. Joey followed suit. They laughed until they were blue in the face.
"Joey… I'm trying to be serious here…" Yugi said between gasps.
"I was Yug. Couldn't you tell?"
They continued to laugh and chat merrily until Joey heard his dad's car in the driveway.
Joey promptly said goodbye to his friend and told him not to worry.
He then hurried into the kitchen to start on cooking his dad his lunch all the while chuckling to himself.
To be continued…
So… how was chapter 3? Like? Hate it? Utterly despise it? Love it? U tell me! I don't know. ^^
Aerik: …does the saying LOSER mean anything to you?
Aera: I've been called a loser already, I don't need it from you… *chooses to ignore*
Sorry if it seems to still be going slowly, still in exposition mode… @__@
Aerik: Meaning that the real story is yet to come correct?
Aera: O__O he's being… semi-nice?
Aerik: T______T I try…
Aera: Yes, the really good part is yet to come! I'm still trying to set the plot in motion! Please be patient with me!
Aerik: We'll make an attempt…
Aera: Another thing, I hope it doesn't seem… boring. I'm trying SUPER hard to stay serious. I am soooo ready to crack, but I guess being in a depressing mood is helping me focus!
Aerik: *shakes head*
Aera: I'll add a bit of humor from time to time (just cause I was born laughing *not really* … never am the serious one… ^^;;)
But yes… well that's it for author's note, now I'm finally going to post this baby… ^^ hehehe
Oh! And please R/R! I'll love u forever!
