Shōnen-Ai High School

Chapter 13

"Why don't you listen to me, Joshua?! This isn't a damn joke!"

"Why should I listen?! It's obvious that you're jealous because we don't spend as much time together as before, but inventing stories about MY girlfriend is just way too low, man!"

"I'm not inventing anything! I'm not lying, Joshua, for heaven's sake, listen to me!" He touched the other one's arm.

"Get away from me!" yelled the other one, shaking the hand away. "I can't believe you got this far just because you're jealous!"

"I'm jealous, that's true, but I'm just trying to protect you! You're my best...!"

"STOP IT!" He winced at the way Joshua yelled at him. "Don't say that! Don't say that you're trying to protect me, 'cause I can clearly see that you're only trying to break her and me apart!"

"Joshua..."

"Shut up! I should have never told you... we shouldn't have been best friends in the first place!"

"AH!" Yugi's eyes flew open as his own yell filled his ears. He sat up and brought his hand to his forehead, panting and with sweat drops on his temples. W- What was that just now? he thought. Who were those two? Why were they yelling like that? Nothing of that has ever happened in one of my stories... so why did I see it? He lied back down on his bed and closed his eyes. They didn't last long closed. Wait a second... where's Yami-san? The boy glanced at the bed few meters next to his, seeing it empty. I wonder where he went...

One more time, his eyelids closed, and he did an effort to fall asleep again.

It was no more than 10 seconds before he felt someone shaking his shoulder.

"Yugi, you still asleep? Yugi, Yugi, Yugi-kun, wake up!" He groaned. It was probably Ryou... but then again, that voice didn't sound like Ryou's. "Yugi-kun, get up!" The boy gasped and opened his eyes. "Whew, you finally listened, ne?"

"K- Kerii-chan?!" The blue-haired girl in front of him smiled. "Kerii!" A wide grin formed on his face as he tightly hugged her. "I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Y- Yugi, I can't breathe!"

"Oh, gomen ne!" Yugi let go of her.

"Arigatou..." she replied, breathing deeply.

"How do you feel?" he asked her, still a bit worried.

"Much better than yesterday, thank Ra," she answered with a chuckle. "Oh, and by the way..."

"Eh?" Keri let out a small sigh.

"Thank you for waiting outside the infirmary for so long." The boy gasped slightly. "Yami went to visit me after Sakiko-san told him I was already awake. He told me pretty much everything that happened yesterday since I went in."

"I see that you were almost dying to know how she was." Both of them turned to the door, not surprised as Yami stood there, leaning against the door frame.

"Leave him alone, cous' cous'," said Kerii.

"Etto, Kerii-chan?"

"Hai, Yugi?" The boy hesitated. Maybe what he wanted to ask was too personal for her, but he lost nothing with trying.

"Sakiko-san said that you had fainted because of physical stress..."

"Well, many people have that problem, I'm..." she started.

"Demo, before fainting, Ryou and I saw you talking with someone." The girl's eyes widened with shock. "I was wondering... who was that person you were talking to?" Her sight went down to the floor.

"Gomenasai," she said, and Yugi heard a smile on her voice. "I'm afraid that I can't tell you right now. Someday, though... I'll tell you. Not right now, but someday. I promise it." He turned to Yami, confusion in his eyes.

"Leave it," mouthed the older.

"Anyway!" The boy's attention went back to Kerii. "Yugi-kun! You, Ryou and I have to see more of the play's progress!"

"Oh, right," said Yugi rubbing the back of his head.

"Yami-kun, we never actually talked about it yesterday! There are some things I still gotta let you know!" she almost yelled, getting closer to Yami and dragging his arm out of the room while the taller one tried to whine about it.

"That Kerii-chan..." said Yugi to himself when he was left alone on the dorm. I'm glad she's the same crazy girl as always, he thought. Just before following them, something caught his glance.

Hidden between Yami's bed and the wall, there was a small piece of paper, probably coming from the notebook where he'd been drawing last night. He got close to it, taking it in his hands. His eyes widened when he saw the sketch done on it.

It was no more a surprise that the sketch's center of attention were the two same apparent lovers from the other two Yugi had seen, but now, it was different. He felt different.

Both of them held one of their hands with the other one's, not as lovers, but mostly like friends. They weren't shaking them as people who had just met; it was more like two friends who had just made something they had been expecting for a long time. The boy thought about it for a moment.

The first sketch he'd ever seen was that one of the two lovers face to face, holding their hands lovingly. The second one was of them in a very sad scene, as if something terrible had happened. And this one had them looking like the best friends ever. If there was a story behind all of them...

. . . it might mean that first of all, they had a very good relationship, but then something got in the middle and they had to break up, and now they had decided to begin again, from the very start.

Yugi left the sketch where he'd found it and took his notebook, writing the story he'd thought from the three different though similar of Yami's sketches. Then something—a small detail there—hit his mind. The two guys looked very similar to the ones he saw on his dream... that would somehow explain it...

But where does my dream come into the picture? It doesn't seem to fit in at all!

"YUGI-KUN!" The small teenager almost collapsed at the call of his name. He quickly hid his notebook, turning to the door before Kerii and her relative came in again.

"H- Hai, Kerii-chan?" he asked with a nervous smile on his face.

"Come on, let's go already!" she said, now pulling Yugi's arm and dragging him out of the room. He was harder to move, though. "O- Oi, Kerii-chan, wait just a minute! You can't just drag people wherever and whenever you feel like it!" he reclaimed.

"And why not?" replied the blue-haired girl with a mischievous grin.

"Kerii-chan, that's not...!"

"Hai, hai, let's go! I promised Ryou we'd see him on the cafeteria!"

"Yami-san, help!"

"Gomen, kid; I wish you good luck, though!" said the crimson-eyed, chuckling.

"IIE!" yelled Yugi as Kerii finally got him out.

"Heh, he should know her by now," Yami told to himself. He turned to his bed and sat at the edge of it, his arms behind his back. He let out a sigh of exhaustion. Blinking at the little one's bed, something caught his attention: the boy's notebook.

The crimson-eyed stared at it for a while. Why had the boy let it there? Anyone could walk by, see it, take it, and read it! In fact... he also wanted to...

He shook his head wildly. What the hell was he thinking?! Probably Yugi had his fantasies, secrets, and personal stuff in there! But it was just a notebook...

No way! There was no way he was going to read it, no sir! Yami looked at it again. He sighed. Okay, just a little reading and nothing else!

He took it in his hands, and opened it in the last page that had something written on it.

His face... his damn gorgeous face! It had caught me from the very first time I'd seen it, and yet... and yet it still had the same effect on me. Why did we have to break up? It was such a good relationship! And we had so many great and perfect moments! . . . What had gone wrong? Was it something I did, something I said? I wanted to ask so badly... so, so badly that my heart ached. Did we look wrong together? I sighed. There was nothing else that I could do. "You know..." I turned around, gasping. Why was he here, with me? "I also want us to be together," he said on that stupid voice that I loved. "I'm so sorry that I hurt you... but what if..." I was looking down, not being able to look straight into his eyes. "What if we start over again?" I turned to him, surprised by his words. "Start again?" I repeated. "Yeah, just start over again, from our very first meeting... you know, try to work it out somehow." He smiled the smile I most liked. "I don't think it would be that bad." He held out his hand, holding it up. I stared at it before smiling, taking his hand with mine. "Yeah, it doesn't sound that bad."

Yami couldn't believe his eyes as his mouth fell open. It was the best thing he'd ever read in his entire life! He chuckled to himself.

"This kid really's got some talent, ne?"


(A/N: Whew, that was kinda hard to make. Yugi-kun sure writes fastly, huh? XD Anyway, I thank iHamster for giving the idea included on this chapter. By that, I mean Yugi writing a "story" about Yami's sketches and then Yami reading it. Arigatou!! :D Bad, bad Yami-kun, you should have more respect! :P Again, please forgive me, I know I'm a bad girl!! TT-TT I'll try to have next chapter sooner! ME MEANS IT!! And review, onegai!! :D

By the way, next chapter will be kind of fast forward, cuz I just realized that I lasted about 10 chapters for one single day, and that ish no good!! So, I'll say how much time it's been since this moment at the beginning of next chapter. Arigatou gozaimasu!!)
