Chapter 3

That was, apparently, easier said than done. In fact, the brown-haired teen was lost in thought at a point where he didn't realize he was trying desperately to open the wrong locker with his combination. I took his about twenty tries to realize something was wrong.

As the teenager finally got his books and entered the classroom, a heavy and uncomfortable silence had fallen upon the room. As he sat down, all eyes were on him, and his mind was working three thousand miles a minute.

'They know... THEY ALL KNOW! No, they couldn't. But they do! No, no way. He wouldn't tell. He's too nice and innocent. No. There is simply no way he would tell anyone. Plus, he's not here, so he couldn't have.' A quick look of relief passed on his face, but it disappeared as fast as it had came. 'But what if someone saw us? ... I mean, it's a small city. What if someone told everyone? Then, they all know. I'm sure of it.' Seto kept on rambling in his mind.

Someone was making its way towards him, and soon asked. "Have you even slept in the last five weeks?" The blond spoke again. "You look ... like hell."

The exhausted teen wasn't expecting that. "Sorry... what?"

"I mean, you looked normal enough yesterday, but you really seem like you've been having sleeping issues today." The boy who was supposed to hate Kaiba told him with an almost ... worrying look.

"Couldn't fall asleep." Was all he answered.

Jonouchi got back to his group of friends, and people started talking again, the tensed atmosphere disappearing in an instant. A minute after the conversations in the classroom resumed, a small violet-eyed teen walked into the room, a magnificently illuminating smile on his cute face.

"Hi everyone!" He let out as he came in.

"You look awfully cheerful today. What happened to you?" Anzu asked him as he sat down between Honda and Jonouchi.

"No-nothing, I ju-just..." Yugi's face almost ignited at the memory of the kiss. "Just woke up happy!?" It seemed almost as if he was asking her if she accepted that answer.

"Are you sure about that, 'cause you don't seem that sure. And, by the way, your face just lit up." Jonouchi laughed, ruffling his best-friend's hair.

"Y-yeah, I-I'm sure." He stuttered.

"You know, you can tell us anything." Honda whispered.

"He's right. We won't tell anyone." Anzu encouraged him.

Yugi's blush just darkened as his eyes met Seto's. A small smile crept upon his face and his eyes shone with a newfound brightness. The tired teenager answered his smile by a significantly smaller one that no one else than Yugi could see.

"EARTH TO YUGI!" Jonouchi yelled throughout room to get his friend's attention.

Yugi broke eye contact with the silent man sitting in the back of the room and looked up at his three friends who were studying his with unhidden interest. He sat up faster than anyone expected. "IT'S NOTHING!" He screamed before running out of class and bumping into the teacher on his way out.

All eyes were on the seat the small boy was occupying and when a tall brown-haired and blue-eyed teen got out, no one noticed, still stunned by the sudden outburst.

Kaiba was searching for his small classmate, and before he knew it, he was running to the roof. Yes, running, as in a full out sprint. When the door burst open, Yugi jumped and fell off the ladder he was climbing. He let out a strangled cry as he fell, but in a swift movement, he was in someone's arms. He clang to his savior's chest and tried controlling his breathing. It took him a couple of minutes to be able to speak again.

When he had regained his voice, he whispered. "Thank you. I almost cracked my head open."

"That, you did. Be thankful I followed you out here." The taller one responded.

As he recognized the voice of his friend, the boy's eyes fluttered open and fell upon the brown-haired teenager. "Ka-Kaiba-san? Wh-what are you d-doing here. Class is starting. You'll be in trouble."

"Not as much as you. You know, important person and all that." A slight grin made its way to his lips.

"I'm good now, yo-you can put me d-down..." Yugi murmured.

"I feel quite comfy the way we are right now. Thanks."

The boy's face reddened a bit at these words. "So yo-you d-did mean it..."

"What are you talking about? What did you think I didn't mean?" The grin on his face was now positively evil.

"Yo-you know, the k-kiss." His voice was so low it was barely audible.

The question echoed throughout Seto's mind for a second before he realized the desire growing and the craving he had for those soft, small lips. Without any further ado, he followed his desire and inched down, bringing up the smaller teenager's chin, so that their lips would meet half way. When the contact was initiated, Yugi's hands unclenched and his arms wrapped around his friend's neck. His fingers brushed through chestnut-brown hair. His lips were being worried by their counterparts and strangled moans were coming out of his throat. As he thought they were going to part, the other boy sucked his lower lip softly and nipped gently at it. That was enough for Yugi's knees to give way.

The teen panted for a moment, trying to catch his breath. "Guess you did..." He whispered as he smiled up to his 'now-apparently-boyfriend'.

"Guess I wasn't the only one." He grinned.

"Yeah..." Yugi's eyes met Seto's and a worried look passed through the smaller one's face. "You look unwell. What happened?"

"You did." Was all the blue-eyed man answered before lying down, his head in the other teen's lap.

The hour soon passed and the two boys got back to class as if nothing had ever happened. At lunch, that day, Yugi was eating with his friends, but his eyes were focused on a certain someone sitting at another table. While he was clearly somewhere else, his friends started a conversation that, they thought, would never interest their small friend. ... Little they knew.

"Do you guys think it's normal for a couple to sleep together that early?" Anzu asked. "I mean, you know..."

"I don't know about normal, but if both of them want to do it, it's their problem. It's not like we're going to put up a sign or get them arrested." Jonouchi responded.

Honda nodded his agreement. "Yeah, I think it's something that should happen naturally. If it's time and you feel comfortable about it. Why not?"

"So, basically, if I go out with someone and like that person, I can sleep with him whenever as long as I feel good about it? I mean, strictly hypothetically speaking of course." Anzu summarized.

"It seems normal for a relationship to be comfortable. If both parties want to, then you can do whatever you want. That is actually what 'being in a relationship is all about." Yugi intervened and all eyes were on him as he was already back in his thoughts.

The day passed by quickly, so did the week, and another. Two days a week, Yugi and Seto would go out and they would spend their entire Friday evening at the Kaiba mansion. As time went by, the two boys were starting to know each other better. The small teenager had met Makuba already, and found they had a lot in common.

The 'now-not-so-new relationship' between the two teens was still a secret and no one but them, and Seto suspected Makuba, knew about it. Yugi was now a close friend of Seto's... No, more than a friend. Even though he still had some trust issue, the brown-haired man had made a lot of progress since the day they'd first met.

A month had soon passed since the day they had shared their first kiss, and a lot had been exchanged since then. Slowly but surely, it was beginning to be normal for them to be around each other. On the other hand, Yugi's friends were starting to believe something had changed within their classmate. A lot of small situations, gestures, blushes were slowly pointing them into the right direction and they suspected the small teen to have a girlfriend. Yeah, a girlfriend... They were still a little far from the truth.

"I'M GOING CRAZY!" Jonouchi yelled throughout the hallways of Domino High.

"I know what you mean." Agreed Honda.

"I still don't see why we can't just, you know... ask him." Anzu explained before a sigh escaped her lips.

"BECAUSE THIS IDIOT WILL JUST BLUSH AND RUN AWAY AGAIN! BUT THIS TIME, I WILL DISCOVER WHAT IS GOING ON!" The blond teen was determined to find out what was going on.

"Don't you think you're a little over-reacting?" Anzu sighed again.

"OVER-REACTING?! ME?! I don't think so." He answered a little bit too dramatically.

"So it's decided then, we'll follow him after school until we find out what is going on." All nodded their agreement and split for their last 'spy-free day'.

What the three friends didn't know was that two blue eyes were on them at the time they had discussed their plan, and their owner had more than one trick up his sleeve.

There was chapter three. Hope you enjoyed it. I'm sorry for making people wait. I just had a HUGE pile of work and I had to get a school for next year, and now that all is ok, I want to finish this project and start another one. Sorry again.

R&R please
