Tieshipping (Honda x Miho)
Hiroto Honda checked his appearance for the five billionth time in one of the school windows. Ahead of him, Katsuya Jonouchi glanced back at the brown haired boy, groaned, and stalked back over to grab his shoulder.
"You look fine, Romeo," Jonouchi said. "Let's just get you to the roof where Miho is waiting so we can get this whole stupid business over with."
Hiroto shrugged Jonouchi's hand off, feeling irritated.
"Just wait, you'll fall in love some time," he said. "And then you'll understand what I'm going through."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, let's just go."
Hiroto glanced at his reflection one last time, turned beet red, and then hurried to catch up with Jonouchi.
This was it. This was the moment he had been waiting for, when he was finally going to confess his feelings for Ribbon-chan – oh, Miho Nohsaka, right. He would have to remember to call her by her real name instead of her nickname.
Did Miho even know he existed? He both hoped she did and didn't. She was a smart, pretty, friendly girl with straight A's and friends in almost every class. He was a school-skipping, fight-picking delinquent who didn't even wear his uniform right.
He stopped almost stopped again to check to see if all of his buttons were done up, and that his tie was tied correctly. Jonouchi had surprisingly known how to tie a tie, and Hiroto had had to promise to do all of Jonouchi's math homework for the rest of the week to get the blond boy to teach him. Miho's friends had told Yugi that Miho really liked guys who wore ties. He hoped this was good enough; it was just a plain old red tie he had borrowed from his dad.
"Okay, Mr. Lovestruck, we're here," Jonouchi said.
Hiroto blinked. He had hardly realized that they were climbing the stairs, much less at the door that led to the roof. Hiroto glanced at Jonouchi, but before he could say anything, Jonouchi pulled the door open and shoved him outside.
"For the last freaking time, the tie is fine," Jonouchi said. "Now get this over with so I don't have to hear or see you simpering like a dog anymore!"
With that, he snapped the door shut behind him.
Miho Nohsaka looked up from where she had been standing by the fence. The wind picked up her soft lavender hair, pulling at the ponytail and lifting the shiny folds of her yellow ribbon so that it glittered in the sunlight.
Her soft brown eyes were confused, nervous, even.
Hiroto licked his lips, finding that they were dry and chapped.
This was the moment.
A/N: I went really short with that one. ^-^ I wanted to use Miho's manga personality instead of her anime personality, and I don't really know enough about her in the manga to give her much more than a cameo. I mostly wanted to play around with Honda's feelings. :3 Next up is Threadshipping (Yami no Marik x Marik x Strings x Yami no Yugi). Fuuuun. On the bright side, though, the one after that is Thornshipping, and then Thiefshipping! (Ready, PandaTeddyClaws? :3)
