Valentines Days... A time when people share their love with one another, Right? Or in my case, the time of year where girls try to give me tooth decay. I sigh and look at my desk were there are about 15 boxes of candy and 20 bunches of red roses. Red, red, red; all I see is red! Even the girls have on red jackets over their school uniforms. I'm going to be color blind for a week, I swear. And this is my first class; I'm dreading the rest of the day.

This is one of the defaults of being the hottest guy in school. All these girls come up and push a gift in my face, thinking that there is more important than the one before her. Personally I'm tired of it. All the gifts, flowers, `Will you be my valentine?'s... Its official, I hate this holiday. They don't even care what they give me, as long as it's big and expensive they think they can win me over.

Hey, I mite be the hottest guy around, but I have feelings too you know. And to tell you the truth, I'm not that interested in girls all that much. That's right; the hottest boy in Domino High is gay. Ironic, huh? See why I hate this holiday?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

By the time lunch crawls around I must have 70 or 80 Valentines stuffed in my locker, which is bursting now with the candy. I sigh and sit at my lunch table, which Yugi, Joey, Ryou and Tristan. All the other tables would pile me with more candy and flowers. I rest my head on the table and cove my head with my arms; maybe if I hide, no body will... No luck. I feel someone tap me on the shoulder. I move on arm and turn my head to glare at the person; I don't really care who it is, I've been bothered all day. I see Jou grinning at me

"Hey Duke" he says "I see you've gotten into the spirit of the holiday" What is he babbling about? He points to a bright red rose in my hair. Oh, one of those girls must have slipped it in my hair when I wasn't looking. I growl and snatch it out

"I hate Valentines Day" I mumble

"How come?" asks Yugi as he was eating his own box of chocolate turtles [1] Looks like I'm not the only one with admirers; he is the king of games after all

"It's a cavity paradise for one" I say "and all the candy and flowers are just stuff I don't need. I'm getting presents from people I've never even seen before. I hate Valentines Day"

"Come on Duke" Joey says cheerfully "It's a great holiday. Free candy and people tell each other how much they care about one other"

"Since when is it different from any other day?" I ask "People can tell me then. They don't have to cram it into one day" The rest of them shrugged. I think about having lunch, but then I remember all the candy sitting in my locker. I hate wasting perfectly good food. It's going to take me a loooong time to eat.

"Hey Tristan, what's that?" Jou says suddenly and I look to see the brunet stuff a white envelope in his jacket.

"Nothing" Tristan says

"Come on man, show me" the blonde says as he leaned across the table, trying to take the letter for him self, but Tristan just moves away from the hands

"It's none of you're business" Tristan says glaring at Joey

"I bet it's a valentine" Jou declares "Who is it for?"

"I told you it was none of you're business" Tris repeats a little louder and more annoyed. I'm curious myself

"Yeah, who is it for?" I ask. I want to get into someone else's love life and out of my own. I smile slyly at him, trying to get him to confess. I'm sitting right next to him so he can't get away from me. "You can tell us" He shakes his head and I think I see something. Is he blushing? Nah, can't be. It IS a bit stuffy in here. I wonder if the chocolate in my locker is going to be melted a bit

"I'm not telling" Tristan says stubbornly. I know he is as suborn as Joey and Joey's as stubborn as a bull... Not that I'm calling Tris a bull. I swear he's blushing. Heh, he's cute when he blushes.

Joey and Tristan fight about the card for the rest of lunch, Tristan not giving in, and Jou not giving up. Yugi, Ryou, and I talk about the valentines we got... well more like me listening to them; I don't know half the girls that gave me mine

Soon the bell rings and I've gotten at lest 5 more roses and 2 more boxes more valentines than when I got there from girls I only see in the lunch room. I sigh and am just barely able to close my locker. Well, the rest of this cruddy holiday awaits me; I mite as well get it over with

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Freedom! The last bell rings and I'm free from this holiday, except for some last minute valentines from some girls who were chickening out. I sigh and dred opening my locker. How am I going to get them all home? One name pops into my head: Tristan. He has a motorcycle, and maybe I can find out who that valentine is/was for. I don't know if he's given in to them yet.

I look around and catch him just after he says bye to Jou and Yugi near his bike. I wait until they're gone before tapping him on the shoulder. He looks at me, helmet in hand.

"Hey Tristan" I greet

"Hey Duke" He replies and see he's fiddling with his helmet strap. Wow he's been so nervous today.

"Um, could you do me a favor?" I ask and he nods "I was wondering if you could help me get my valentines to my house?" He waits a moment before nodding

"Sure" he says and we go to get my stuff

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

We finally get all my gifts into his bag on the back of his bike. Wow, I can't believe they all fit. Tristan is on his bike, the bike started and his helmet on. He pulls out another helmet and hands it to me. I hesitate a minute. I've never ridden a motorcycle before. I take it and have to pull out my pony tail before slipping it on, other wise it will be poking me in the head the whole time. I get on behind him not sure what to do.

"Hand on" he says riving up the engine, his voice muffled by the helmet. Hang on? Hang on to what? He suddenly presses the gas and we jolt forward. I suddenly wrap my arms around his waist, holding on for dear life. Holly shit! He didn't have to do that; unless that's how motorcycles always start. I snuggle up to his back as we move into traffic. It feels a lot safer in a car, but, this isn't so bad...

I lean my head onto his back and watch the scenery go by. Everything seems so much closer than in a car and I can feel the nice breeze that would probably feel cold if I wasn't pressed up against Tris. I guess I could understand why he likes a bike. It's nice, just to ride in the wind.

I see we're pulling onto my street and I hug Tristan tighter before we stop in front of my house. Just a nice hug before I have to get off, other wise it would seem kind of strange; this is a good excuse.

We come to a complete stop and I'm forced to get off and let go. I take off the helmet and so does he.

"Thanks for the ride" I say

"Any time" he says and I go to get my gifts "Would you like some help with those?" I hear and pause a minute, a hand on my stuff

"Sure, Thanks" I say and he gets off to help me

^_^_^_^_^_^_^ Oh! I like this boarder better! ^_^_^_^_^_^_^

We finally got my stuff inside and now we're back out side; He's about to leave and I kinda wish he wasn't.

"Well, I'll see you Monday" I say, It was Friday, another lonely weekend.

"Yeah..." he says and gets on his bike. He hesitated with his helmet in hand, and then he puts it down and gets back off. I wonder what he's doing. He gulps before speaking

"Well I know you don't like valentines that much, but..." Tristan says and pulls out the same white envelope as before in lunch. He hands it to me and I take it. He's giving me the valentine? I thought he would give it to someone else. I look it over, turning it over in my fingers and I glance at him. He was sweating bullets

"I-I really should go" he said but when he turned around I grabbed his arm before he could get back on his bike and ride off

"Wait, don't you want to see me open it?" I ask and he stops. I let go and I look back at the letter. I turn it to the back and open it, tearing the single piece of scotch tape holding it close. Wow, he didn't spare any expense, did he? You can hear the sarcasm in that last sentence. I pull out a green card with a sketch of a die in it. I look back to him and he's looking at his feet, which are shuffling on the ground nervously. I look back to the card. I really hope it's not one of those `Roses are red' poems; I've gotten a lot of those today, I open it and find that it's not

Hey, Duke,

Happy Valentines Day. I'm sorry that I probably won't have the guts to say this to you personally, so I wrote it for you. Aishiteru

It's kinda warm,

It tingles too,

I didn't know what it was,

But I knew it was you

I've thought for a long time,

How to tell you,

And all I came up with was,

Aishiteru

I don't know if you feel the same,

I don't know if you ever could,

But I had to tell you some time,

Or else I never would

So Happy Valentines Day and aishiteru

Love, Tristan

I look at Tristan and saw he is blushing beat red. I think I'm blushing too. I really am touched. He didn't just buy me something, but made it himself. I wonder how long he's liked me...

"Tristan..." well sad to say I was lost for words

"I'm sorry" Tristan suddenly says his hand rubbing the back of his head, looking at the ground "I guess it was pretty silly to write that..." he trailed off. I guess it did take a little courage to give it to me. I smile

"I didn't even know you knew how to rhyme" I say a little teasingly trying to lighten the mood. He looked at me, seeming a little confused. I don't think he was expecting that reaction

"Of course I can" he says and then mumbles "Even if it too me all night" It's quiet for a moment before I speak up. He's still probably not sure what my opinion is

"So... Did you mean it?" I ask and he looks a little confused "Did you mean it, that you love me?" It is a bit awkward to say out loud. I can see why he wrote the valentine. He pauses a moment

"Yeah" he says almost ashamed I think. I wish he wouldn't say it like that. He's looking at the ground. I'm not that good at saying any mushy gushy stuff and action are louder than words so... I kiss him, right on the lips. It takes a minute, but he loosens up and kisses me back. He rests his hands on my hips and I find my arms wrapping around his neck. It just feels so... natural and he's so warm.

We finally break apart to breath, but not out of each other's arms. I'm fine just right where I am leaning against him. We're there for a few minutes and I'd rather be in the house on the couch and...

"So now what do we do?" he asks and interrupting my thoughts. I think for a moment and get a devilish idea

"Well, there's a whole bunch of chocolate that needs to be eaten..." I say slyly, maybe we could have some fun with that "Care to join me" His eyes widen ever so slightly at realization of what I'm suggesting.

"Oh yeah" he says and I give him another kiss before we head into my house. You know what? This isn't such a bad holiday after all
