Chapter Three

Kiryu blinked a few times, standing right in front of his door was Jack.

A light smirk made its way to Kiryu's lips. "Why Jack," he responded casually. "What -"

Before Kiryu could finish, Jack shoved the blue-haired teen out of the way. Violet eyes scanned the two-hundred square foot studio for Yusei's damaged cell-phone. A chuckle came from Kiryu's lips as his golden eyes watched Jack's every move.

"Communication is hard to come by isn't it?" the blue-haired teen started to say.

Jack picked the phone up and gave Kiryu a cold look. "I'll let you go this time, but if you hurt Yusei any further, I'll personally take you down ... got that?"

Kiryu raised a brow. "And how are you going to do that? Lecture me? Hit me?".

"Don't push me," Jack hissed, taking a rough hold of Kiryu's shirt. "If I had it my way, I would've had made sure that you stayed locked up after the stunt you pulled four years ago!"

Yusei leaned over Jack and kissed the blonde-haired teen on the lips. Yusei gently pushed Jack on the floor. Both teen wrestled casually, fighting for dominance. They rolled a few feet away with Jack on top of Yusei. Violet eyes stared into dark blue ones. Yusei leaned up as Jack wrapped his arms around the dark-haired teen's waist. A shadow loomed over them just as the two were about to kiss. Yusei looked up to see that it was Kiryu.

The blue-haired teen had a glint in his eye as he watched Yusei and Jack pull away from each other. The blonde-haired teen got to his feet and dusted himself off.

"Yusei, can I talk to you alone?" Kiryu asked, motioning for Jack to leave.

Jack narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong with -"

"Jack," Yusei warned, getting the blonde-haired teen's attention. Yusei shook his head. "You better go before Godwin has Trudge come looking for you."

A light growl came from the back of Jack's throat. He turned and walked out, closing the door behind him. Yusei adjusted his gaze from the door to bring his full attention to Kiryu. The blue-haired teen's silhouette loomed over Yusei. Kiryu slapped his friend across the face.

"How long?!" Kiryu shouted. Yusei flinched in shock. "How long have you had feelings for Jack?"

The dark-haired teen stared at Kiryu's face. There were a mixture of hate, jealousy, and betrayal in his eyes. The atmosphere darkened and the air turned cold at that moment. Kiryu grabbed Yusei by his shirt and yanked him forward. The dark-haired teen could smell alcohol in Kiryu's breath.

"I want to make one thing clear - you are mine! No one else is allowed to touch you."

Yusei narrowed his eyes and pulled away from Kiryu. "We were just playing around."

The blue-haired teen grabbed Yusei's arm and twisted it behind his back. The dark-haired teen let out a cry of pain and shock as Kiryu coiled his leg around Yusei's right limb.

Yusei winced. "Kiryu, what's gotten into you? I'm sorry if I offended you, but I do love Jack!"

"That's just it!" Kiryu yelled, pushing Yusei forward. The dark-haired teen stumbled and regained his balance as he turned to face Kiryu."It's always Jack this and Jack that!" Kiryu grabbed Yusei again and pushed him down to the floor. Yusei tried to sit up but Kiryu was on top of him. "He had no right to take your heart when you were mine to start with!"

Yusei stared wide-eyed at Kiryu and realization sank in. "You love me ... don't you," the dark-haired teen murmured.

"Yes! But you never took a fuckin' hint that I did! Not one!" Kiryu barked, hitting Yusei a few times in chest.

Kiryu was about to hit Yusei again when a shadow loomed over the two. A hand reached down and pulled Kiryu away from Yusei. The blue-haired teen stumbled back and found his arms clasped behind his back. Kiryu's golden eyes widened when he realized that Trudge had put hand cuffs on him, and Jack was helping Yusei up.

"Why?!" Kiryu hollered, struggling free himself. "Why can't you accept me!"

Yusei turned his head, not wanting to see the look in Kiryu eyes. "I'm sorry, Kiryu - I don't feel that way about you," the dark-haired teen murmured.

The tension in the room raised and Kiryu's expression darkened. A twisted smirk made its way to Kiryu's pale lips. He started to laugh - an eerie laugh that ran cold.

"I thought about suicide ...but -" Kiryu paused and licked his lips as he stared at Yusei. "Maybe you should die instead."

"You were going to hurt him whether you loved him or not!" Jack pointed out, coming out of his painful memory.

Kiryu let out an eerie chuckle. "Really," the blue-haired teen responded casually. "You're no different from me when it comes to hurting the one you love."

Jack growled and gave Kiryu a hard shake. "Don't even go there!"

"Jack," came Yusei's stern crisp voice. Kiryu and the blonde-haired teen turned to see Yusei standing there. "Don't worry about it. It's all in the past," Yusei reassured.

Jack narrowed his eyes and walked up to Yusei. Kiryu took a step but the blonde-haired teen looked over his shoulder and growled. "Don't even think about it."

Jack took a gentle hold of his boyfriend by the arm and guided Yusei out.
