Summary: "Odd, how two people's suffering could effect them so differently."
Resilient
One thing that could always be said about Katsuya Jounouchi was that he was resilient. Nothing could keep him down, so it seemed. Everything he had been faced with up to this point he had overcame.
Seto Kaiba couldn't help but wonder how much the boy could take. Part of him wanted to find out, but most of the methods he would use would be illigal. Not that he couldn't get himself out of any trouble that he got himself into, but it would cause bad publicity. Couldn't have that.
Day in and day out, Jounouchi would always be smiling, surrounded by friends.
Everyone was aware of his home life, every single one of his friends knew something wasn't right. But they never asked where the bruises came from, but even if they had, Kaiba doubted that Jounouchi would have told the truth. His excuse probably would have been that he was in a fight, even though everyone knew he hadn't been in his old gang for almost two years now.
And yet every day he came into school smiling.
God, how Kaiba hated that smile.
And how much he wished he could find the will to smile too...
Some mask their pain with false happiness, some mask it with coldness. Katsuya Jounouchi was just so unnaturally resilient...
Odd, how two people's suffering could effect them so differently.
AN: Just a short little drabble here... Wondering if I should make a multi-chapter story out of this. Anyways, reviews are loved!
