Judai: HELP ME!

Judai lay, curled up at the foot of Manjyome's bed, purring contentedly. All was at peace. Suddenly, he heard a crash from downstairs, and opened one orange eye lazily. He was about to shuffle down and see what the problem was, but the problem had already come to him.
Manjyome ran into the room. "Chousaku! Just leave me alone!" he shouted downstairs. He turned to Judai, and Judai gasped in fear and anger. Manjyome had a big red bruise on his face. Judai could tell that he was trying not to say anything or cry, but his tears soon came pouring out. "It's been like this for years now. I always hate coming home for the summer." he muttered, half to Judai and half to himself. "I try to get on his good side, but he just makes me so mad, and then I say something..."
Judai looked up at him with sympathy in his eyes. He knew that Manjyome's brothers were jerks, but he never expected that either of them would ever hit him. Mewing unhappily, the cat jumped into Manjyome's lap. Now I know why he's so secluded. It's cause he's treated like this at home. Judai thought. He could feel anger rising within himself. I just can't imagine what it'd be like, living with this torment every day.
Judai blinked confusedly. Why was he feeling sorry for Manjyome? And as Judai looked into his owner's distressed eyes, he saw the answer there. He remembered the little things he had overlooked. Every time his eyes met Manjyome's, his heart beat just a little bit faster. He also remembered the nights he had spent here with Manjyome, as a cat. And how every night he would think about the boy, and how lucky he was to find someone like him.
I like him a lot. Judai realized with a shiver. No, I love him.
As hard as it was for Judai to admit it to himself, he did love Manjyome. Despite all the horrible things Manjyome said, all the times Manjyome had tried to get him expelled, Judai still loved him. He must be the one. I just need to get the kiss...
Almost without thinking, Judai reached his little brown head up to touch Manjyome on the chin with his nose. The boy hadn't even noticed Judai yet, but at this touch, this gentle sign of affection, he opened his eyes and smiled. He grabbed Judai in a gentle hug.
Judai could feel himself shiver. He couldn't believe that this was the Manjyome he knew from school, the stuck up boy who had ridiculed him at every chance. This was someone completely different, or at least a different side to the boy he knew. And in a moment, Judai could feel his friend's face buried in his fur as he cried his eyes out.
The curse wasn't picky about kissing. The slightest brush of the lips...
Judai felt completely warm and fuzzy inside. And then he looked down and saw a pair of black pants and red Slifer shoes. He froze. He recognized those shoes.
"Um, Manjyome. You can let go of me now."
Manjyome completely flipped. Jumping up, he blushed and shouted angrily. "Where is the cat?"
"Right here." Judai pointed to himself. "Pharaoh cursed me, and I had to get my true love's first kiss. And...I guess that was it." Judai blushed insanely, running the back of his head in confusion and embarassment.
"So, I'm your true love?" Manjyome's voice was becoming uncharacteristically high and squeaky. "Wait a minute...I didn't kiss you, Judai."
"Your lips touched my head. That's a kiss, I guess. So yeah. I guess...I guess we were made for each other, Manjyome." He braced himself, expecting his crush to strike him.
Instead of a hand, he felt a warm pair of lips press up against his own. He opened his eyes in suprise.
Manjyome pulled away. "I guess we are."

Yay, one chapter to go after this. One chapter of romantic bliss. And a time lapse.
Oh, I remembered! My friend, Mew-is-Back, is writing an AtticusZane/FubikiRyo fiction, about the episode when Alexis/Asuka had her shadow duel with the freaky dude with the mask. Remember the time lapse from when Zane was suggestively holding Atticus/Fubiki, to the time they arrived at the duel? And Atticus/Fubiki was wearing a blazer that looked suspiciously like Zane/Ryo's. Suspicious...
