Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Come into my world ❯ Fear ( Chapter 3 )

The next day Joey got up,dressed and left for the Game Shop.The bells gingled as he walked into the shop.
"Hey Yug',Tristan."Joey greated walking in semi-cheerfully.
"Hello,lover boy."Tristan said trying not to laugh.
"What?!"
"I saw you and Mai on a bench in the park yesterday smoochin'"
"Hey,SHE kissed Me once!"
"Yeah,SURE."
"That's it!"Joey yelled grabbing Tristan by the collar.
"Hey guys,stop it!"Yugi yelled prying them apart.
"Well if LOVERR BOY here would just admit he's got it for Mai Valentine it would make things alot easier!"
"Listen,nothings going on!And she kissed me!"
"Okay,don't have a cow!"Joey sat down and sighed,he was relieved that was over.Yugi and Tristan were his friends,but he wanted to tell Mai before anyone else.He needed to.

Mai woke up and streched,a new day,new complications.It seemed everyday since she let herself beleive she loved Joey it got harder,she wanted to just confess and have a happy ending,but that was never gonna happen.She needed to do things the hard way.She hated it!Ever since Duelist Kingdom she was feeling mixed emotions,she was feeling friendship,anger,sadness and confusion.She had friends now,sure.She was FRIEND'S with Joey,not more!She didn't want more then,but her friendship of him grew deeper,into a crush.She new that and she thought it would just blow over,but it didn't expect it would go even deeper.

FLASHBACK

Everyone was at the beach,it was a hot day and did they know it!They brought towels frizzbies and even pails.Tea played volley ball with another group of girls,Tristan was off somewhere stalking a girl he liked,Yugi was swimming with Serenity,Mai and Joey were looking for shells along the beach.

They found some beautiful shells,different colors,sparkling,plain all kinds!But there was this one shell that sparkled,it was perfect shape and it was ocean blue.Joey picked it up and smiled at it's beauty.Mai looked at it,it was wonderful!
"Wow Joey!That's beautiful!"She said smiling at him.He thought she was much more beautiful than the shell.If she liked it that much it was hers,he'd probly loose it and it would brake.But if he gave it to her it would really mean something.
"Here Mai."He handed her the shell.Her eyes sparkled while looking at the shell.
"Joey I couldn't-"
"Yes you can,and will."
"But it's so beautiful,and you found it."
"I'de probly loose it and it wouldn't mean much to me as lust a shell,but you REALLY like it,then it means something."He said with that smile,it made her melt.
"Thank you,Joey."She said smiling,he handed her the shell.She handled it so carefully,like glass.Mai gave into her feelings at that exact moment.

END FLASHBACK

Mai opened her droor and took out the shell,it was rapped up it cotton.She unrapped it and handled it carefully,she kept it safe,it was precious to her.She put the shell away, got dressed and started cooking breakfast.She let the eggs fry in the pan.She needed a present for Joey,then it hit her.Maybe she shouldn't try to think of what Joey would want by putting herself in his place,but she should think of some of their conversations.She turned on the radio to help her think.She heard a song playing,THAT WAS IT!Joey wanted to go to this new club that opened up,but he couldn't get entry without reservations.Joey tried but he could never book anything.Well Mai could pull a few strings and get enrty!She got on the phone right away!

Joey and Yugi were playing duel-monsters,but Joey seemed a bit distracted.
"Joey what's wrong?"Yugi asked seeing this.
"Oh,nothin' Yug'"Joey replied not even looking up.Yugi loked around to make sure Tristan wasn't there.
"It's Mai isn't it?"
"What,no?!Don't tell me your with Tristan about this!"
"Not really,but I can tell you like her,as more than a friend."
"How do you know that?"
"Well everytime your around her you blush,or start floating in air.You would bend over backwards for her!I'de even think you were i-"
"In love."
"yeah."
"Bingo."Joey didn't know what had just slipped out,he definatly didn't want to say that!
"Wow Joey,really?!"Yugi asked kinda surprised but happy for Joey.Joey kept his head down and looked kinda sad.
"Yeah."
"Why aren't you happy Joey?"
"Because she probly doesn't love me,it's Mai Valentine,she could get anyone she wants."
"And you don't think she could ever want you?"
"no."
"Well I think she probly does."Yugi replied confidebt,with a warm smile.
"WHAT?!"
"Well she spends most her time hanging around with us by you.She obvioysly cares about you,spends ALOT of time with YOU.She's aleast fond of you,I wouldn't be surprised if she loves you."Yugi said smiling.
