A/N: Oh my goodness...the support for this story is seriously amazing! The love I'm receiving has basically put me in a permanent state of blushing and giggling! You guys are totally amazing. I actually feel bad about how short these chapters are given how much people seem to like them, soo...I think I'll start posting every 3-4 days, at least until we get to the more interesting stuff *cough* Bakura *cough*. That way it'll be like you're getting a full length chapter in a week ;D Hopefully that shows my extreme appreciation for my super-special-awesome fans! *heart*
Disclaimer: The story is mine, the characters are too. Or not..
I remember my first, real crush.
No, it wasn't on 'motorcycle guy'. I'm talking about feelings for someone who I actually knew the name of.
I was twelve years old, and had recently entered middle school. It was still an all-boys school, so there was nothing new and exciting except for some of the students. Being somewhat shy and pretty socially awkward at the time, it was difficult for me to make friends.
And then one day, I met Yuugi Mutou. He was also pretty shy, but he liked to play games. I learned a lot from him and really liked to play with him during lunch break.
He was better than me, but for some reason that never bothered me.
One day, during a game of duel monsters, he seemed particularly happy.
"Ne, Yuugi-kun, you seem so happy today. Did something good happen?"
"It's that obvious, huh? My grandpa got a new shipment of Duel Monster cards…I've been saving up my money, and I wanted it to be a surprise, but I bought us both a pack! This way we can both open them together, at the same time!"
Heart hammering, I accepted the pack from him. A…gift? I had never really gotten a gift before. I hardly could scrape together enough money to afford my basic deck of cards which were no match for Yuugi's.
And yet, there he was, holding out the brightly foiled pack of cards to me, violet eyes sparkling.
Did his eyes normally sparkle like that?
Oh, Ra, my heart was beating so hard, what was going on?
Reaching out a shaking hand to accept the package, our fingers brushed, and it was like electricity had jolted up my arm. Gasping, I pulled back, accidentally yanking the pack from Yuugi's hand.
"Marik-kun? Are you alright? You look really flushed…are you sick?"
With those words, I knew it. You guessed it.
In that moment, I knew that Yuugi Mutou was my very first crush.
A/N: Oh my Ra, no! I'm sure some of you are like hell no, that is not even a little bit canon! But I promise you'll realize my logic very soon so don't hate me yet!
On another note, I'm sure you've all noticed Bakura's not in the story yet, despite this being a thiefshipping fic. That's because Marik is pretty young right now (only 12). They don't meet till he's older, but the story picks up when they do! Just to tease ya'll a little bit and give you something to look forward to, I'll tell you the title of that chapter is "Lust". So when you receive an update about the chapter lust, just know he's a-coming! ;)
