UY: You guys were one review away! ^_^ but I'll be nice and post Tristan's POV since I'm so sweet

___________________

Hey it's Valentines Day! I never thought I'd actually think that in a positive way. It's not like it's a bad holiday but it's a bit lonely if you don't have a valentine. I've never had a real valentine before, unless you count relatives passing out candy to everyone, but it probably doesn't. There is some one I've had my eye on... But I think everyone has had their eyes on him, Duke Devlin.

It took me a while to find out that I actually liked him... Well lately I'm been obsessing about him, which is a problem. I mean when I'm not paying attention sometimes, I end up staring at him. I hope he hasn't noticed that, or maybe he has and he knows that I like him. But I really doubt that. He always has these girls surrounding him, its hard for any one person to be noticed by him.

Well, this... this is probably my only chance at me actually telling him that I love him. I wrote this valentine last night, and I felt pretty proud of my self then. Then. `Then' is the key word. Now I'm at school and I'm feeling pretty stupid. It's not as good as any other gift he's getting. I only had the stuff at home and I didn't have any money. Hell, I barely have 5 dollars in my pocket, and that's for lunch, if I have the stomach to eat any thing. I have butterflies occupying it now. Maybe I'll wait til lunch to give it to him. Too many people now... Well for me there will always be too many people around to give it to him

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

Wow, lunch came fast. You know when you don't want something to come, but then it seems like it's already here? I've got that feeling right now. Me, Yugi, Joey, and Ryou came early, for the best table. Yugi, Ryou, and even Jou got valentines today. I'm still in shock that Joey got a few valentines. Although I shouldn't, he did come in second in Duelist Kingdom (Which he will never let me forget for the rest of my life)

Duke finally came in and I got those butterflies stuck in there again. He has a rose in his hair behind his ear; I think it looks good like that. He looks pretty tired and stressed as he sits down next to me. He rests his head on the table and covers his head with his arms. I take back that last statement; He looks exhausted! Joey, who was across from me, leans across the table and taps him on the shoulder. Duke looks up and glares at him. Ok, exhausted and grumpy

"Hey Duke" Jou says "I see you've gotten into the spirit of the holiday" Duke looks confused for a moment (He's cute when he's confused) and his eyes travel up to were Joey is pointing at the rose. I still think he looks good with it there, but he snatches the rose out and lets it drop to the ground

"I hate Valentines Day" he mumbles and my hopes fall even more. Wonderful, he doesn't even like today

"How come?" asks Yugi and he pops a chocolate turtle into his mouth. I know for a fact that Tea gave him that box of candy

"It's a cavity paradise for one" Duke says "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?" Duke asks "People can tell me then. They don't have to cram it into one day" I pull out the valentine that I had made. It was in a white envelope; we didn't have red in the house. Maybe I should just throw it out now and save may self some embarrassment and heart break

"Hey Tristan, what's that?" Jou says suddenly and I quickly stuff it into my jacket

"Nothing" I say quickly

"Come on man, show me" the he says as he leans across the table to grab my valentine out of my jacket, but I lean away

"It's none of you're business" I say glaring at him

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

"I told you it was none of you're business" I repeat angrier. Jou is so nosey sometimes I just want to strangle him

"Yeah, who is it for?" Duke suddenly asks. Oh shit! I'm gonna kill Jou for mentioning it! I look at Duke and gulp. He has that, that look. That sly mischievous look in his eyes "You can tell us" I shake my head so I don't melt at his look and I feel blood rush to my face.

"I'm not telling" I say stubbornly. I'm not even going to give it to him any more. I can't! It's too embarrassing! I'll just hide it under my bed with all the other junk, but I can't give it to him. I lost all courage of giving it to him when he said he hated Valentines Day

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

It's the end of the day, finally. But now I feel like a complete coward. God, I AM a complete and utter coward. I'm standing next to my bike, ready to go home. I grab my helmet. The guys just left to go home. Lucky them, they aren't wallowing in their own cowardice. I'm such an idiot. Such a coward. Such a...

Someone taps me on the shoulder and I look around to see Duke Devlin smiling at me. Geese, he's not going to leave me alone is he?

"Hey Tristan" he says

"Hey Duke" I reply nervously.

"Um, could you do me a favor?" He asks and I nod dumbly. Man I where is my brain today? "I was wondering if you could help me get my valentines to my house?" Help him with his valentines? I guess so. I mean I get time with Duke, alone, and... I have to stop thinking and answer

"Sure" I say and follow him back into school

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

Damn! Do you know how many valentines he got? There has to be over 50 in the back of my motorcycle. It's a wonder why he's still alone today. Maybe he doesn't have a valentine, but that doesn't mean I have to give him mine... But I still should, I could... Stop it! I'm not going to give it to him!

I climb on the back of my bike and hand him an extra helmet. Joey sometimes rides with me, and I know he won't get a helmet on his own. He hesitates before taking the helmet. He looks a bit nervous. When Joey first rode my bike he clung to me for dear life. I could use that here.

He pulls out his pony tail and his long black hair is so long and looks so silky. I'd like to run by hands through it and... arg! Bad Tristan, Bad! He pulls on his helmet on and sits behind me. He's not holding on to anything, he looks so unsure of what he's doing.

"Hang on" I warn, riving up the engine. I start a little quickly and he practically glomps me around my waist. I don't mind one bit. I smile; glad he can't see my face. I pull out into traffic and I think he's shaking. I'm about to ask if he wants to stop but he kinda moves closer and is practically lying against me. Hey, who am I to ruin the moment?

The ride seems so short as we pull onto Duke's street. I like his arms around me. But want my arms around him too. We pull into his driveway and I know he hugs me before we stop, I know he did. I know because over the ride he stopped shivering and his grip loosened. I'm not stupid you know

When we stop, he hesitantly hops off and we pull off our helmets, his long black hair still down.

"Thanks for the ride" he says

"Any time" I reply and he reaches for his valentines. I don't want to leave yet. I never get time alone with him "Would you like some help with those?" I ask and he pauses a moment, seeming a little surprised

"Sure, Thanks" he says and I get off to help him

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

We finally got his stuff inside. It's a big place, not like Kaiba's but still big, and just as lonely. I wonder where his parents are, or if he has any pets, but I don't see any. We're back out side now for me to leave, but I don't want to

"Well, I'll see you Monday" he says sadly and I nod slowly

"Yeah..." I say and get on my bike. I grab my helmet and pause a moment. What I'm I doing? I don't want to leave, and we're alone, no body around. I can give him my valentine and if he rejects me I can just go home, or better yet I could just give it to him and leave. I slowly put my helmet down and stand up. He looks confused again, and with his hair still down he looks so cute and innocent. Duke Devlin, innocent? That'll be the day. I swallow hard and pull out the white envelope while speaking

"Well I know you don't like valentines that much, but..." I say and I give it to him. He looks at it a moment, twirling it in his fingers, probably wondering if he should throw it away of not "I-I really should go" I say and turn away. I'm such an idiot. He grabs my arm and I look back to him.

"Wait, don't you want to see me open it?" He asks and lets me go. I don't know if I do or don't, but I mite as well see the rest of this thing through. He opens it and pulls out the card. It's a sheet of green paper folded in half, but like I said before, I'm practically broke here! Oh and the die on the card was I was really anxious last night. He glances at me but I look at my feet. He holds up the card to his face and I see his eyes reading the words. I wish my stomach would stop flipping

He's blushing as he looks at me again. "Tristan..." he sounds surprised and nothing comes out after that. God, I can't take the suspense anymore!

"I'm sorry" I say my hand rubbing the back of my head, looking at the ground again. Man it looks so interesting today, (sarcastic) but I just can't seem to look into his eyes "I guess it was pretty silly to write that..." I trail of not really sure what to say

"I didn't even know you knew how to rhyme" he says and I look at him, he's smiling. Does he think this is a joke? Or is he just trying to get me to smile too?

"Of course I can" I say and I look away "Even if it took me all night" Oops, did I say that aloud? I hope he didn't hear that. Man, I must be the biggest idiot in the world; I never should have given it to him. He's probably not even gay; he has all those girls around him...

"So... Did you mean it?" he asks and I'm confused for a minute, wondering what he's talking about "Did you mean it, that you love me?" Oh, yeah, I kinda forgot about that

"Yeah" I admit truthfully. Well, no point in trying to hide it now. Mite as well find out now or never. He steps forward and he... kisses me. It surprises so much that I don't respond for a minute. Hey I wasn't expecting this at all, but... it's nice. I put my hands on his hips, not really knowing where else to put them and his arms wrap around my neck. This was even better than I thought it would be. He's just so... well the only thing that comes to mind is, perfect. It's like words don't matter now...

Our lips finally break apart because we still need to breathe, but I hug him close. He leans against me and I rest my head on his, smiling. All right, I'm REALLY glad I didn't listen to myself. After a few minute though I really want to just snuggle up with him, I don't want to stand here forever... Well, unless it's with him

"So, now what do we do?" I ask and he's quiet for a minute

"Well, there's a whole bunch of chocolate that needs to be eaten..." he says slyly and he pulls away so I can see a sly grin. That same mischievous grin he gave me at lunch "Care to join me" Hold on, chocolate... Duke... and Me... I'm there!

"Oh yeah" I say and he gives me another kiss before I follow him back into the house. I wonder if he still hates Valentines Day. I know I don't
