Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Gabriel ❯ Chapter five ( Chapter 5 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I'm sorry about not posting last weekend, but I was really busy. I just thought of something. I really don't know what people think about this. I'm not asking that a whole bunch of people review, but it would be nice if a few did. Well enough of my talking let's get on with the fic.
Chapter five
 
I'm laying down on my bed thinking about stuff, I'm supposed to be out with my friends, but I don't feel like being with anyone right now.
 
Man this month has been hell. I have to deal with Kaiba everyday. Well that's not really the problem it's more of the fact that he does not like my new friends or me and him and Joey are always insulting each other.
 
Then this morning I got an e-mail from Nick saying that this whole long distance relationship thing is just too much for him to deal with and we should both meet someone new.
 
How can he do that to me? He was the first person that I really fell in love with. How am I going to find someone who makes me feel the same way?
 
Aunt Sam knocks on my door and when I don't say anything she opens it and says, “Gabe, what's wrong? I thought you were going over to Yugi's house to hang out.”
 
“I don't want to see anyone right now.”
 
“Why? I know how close you have gotten to them over the past month. I think it's great that you have made some friends.”
 
I want to tell her what's wrong, but then I don't. I just stay quiet.
 
“Talk to me Gabe. Come on you know that you don't have to hide anything from me.”
 
“Aunt Sam, I got an e-mail from Nick this morning, He thinks that our long distance relationship is too hard and that we should meet other people.”
 
She comes over to my bed and sits down next to me before replying, “He said that to you in an e-mail? He didn't even have the balls to tell you on the phone? You don't need him. You can find someone else. I'm sure that there are plenty of people who would love you way more then Nick ever did.”
 
“How can you say that Aunt Sam? I love him.” I start to cry again.
 
She puts her arm around me in a comforting hug before saying, “I know you do, but you can't spend your whole life loving someone who does not truly appreciate your beauty. Is there anyone you have had your eye on? I know that maybe you weren't thinking about that because you were with Nick, but what do you say? Is there anyone you have a crush on?”
 
“Well you have to promise that you will say nothing about this to anyone. This is for your ears only. I also don't want you to play mach maker. Do you got that?”
 
“Yes, yes, tell me already!” She shakes my shoulders to get me to tell her faster. Like that's going to work.
 
Ok, I think I may have a crush on Kaiba.”
 
She lets me go and just looks at me for a second. Once the shock I guess wares off she says, “As in my boss Kaiba?”
 
“Is there another Kaiba?”
 
“Well, yes there is. He has a younger brother.”
 
“Oh, I didn't know that. I feel sorry for the kid. To have him as a brother.”
 
“Don't be. His brother is the only one he cares about. He's the only one he doesn't yell at or anything.”
 
“So he has a soft spot for his brother. That's cute.”
 
“Yeah, Mokuba is a very cute kid.”
 
“So now what was the point in me telling you who I have a crush on?”
 
“I just wanted to know. Is there a problem with being interested in your love life?”
 
“Sorry to say this Aunt Sam, but yes, I've heard mom tell stories about you asking her who her crush was then you would go to them after she told you not to, to try to get them to look at her. It would never work out with me and Kaiba. He is like a celebrity here. Just drop the whole thing. Please Aunt Sam; I don't want you to say anything about me to him. Do you got that?”
 
 
“Dang. If only your mother had not told you anything about when we were kids.”
 
“See I knew you were going to do something.”
 
“I'm not I swear. Can't you take a joke?”
 
“Not right now I can't. I have too many things running through my head. Could you leave me alone for a few?”
 
She gets up and goes to my door, before she walks out she turns back to me and says, “Ok, I don't know what we are going to do for dinner since you said you were not gonna be here. I have some Raman left if you want that.”
 
“I'm not hungry. I'll be in here all night.”
 
“Goodnight then Gabe. I'll see you in the morning.”
 
“Alright Aunt Sam.”
 
She walks out my bedroom door and closes it behind her.
 
Like half an hour later there is another knock on my door. Without even thinking I reply, “I told you that I wasn't hungry Aunt Sam. Just leave me alone for now. I'll talk with you more tomorrow.”
 
My door opens to revel Yugi. I immediately start to dry my eyes and say, “What are you doing here Yugi?”
 
“Well you didn't say anything to us in school today and I thought that you were going to join us at my place. What happened? How come you're crying?”
 
“Um, come in, have a seat. You don't have to stand there in my doorway.”
 
He comes into my room and sits at my desk. “So you didn't answer my questions. What happened?”
 
“First you have to promise me that you won't freak out or anything, then you have to promise that you will tell no one.”
 
“It can't be that bad. I promise not to freak out or tell anyone.”
 
“Ok, first of all, I'm gay, but that isn't really my problem. My problem is that my boyfriend back in Chicago just e-mailed me this morning and told me that our relationship was just too much for him to deal with and we should meet new people. I loved him. I really did. He was the first person I actually felt love for. He is the reason I'm living here with my aunt. Remember how I told you back when I first met you guys that my parents found out something that I was hiding my relationship with Nick from them.”
 
“I'm so sorry Gabriel. Is there anything I can do to help?”
 
I whip my eyes of the stray tears that come out when talking before replying, “No, it's ok though. I just have to get over him. I'm in a new place. I bet I could meet tons of people who will love me way more then he did.”
 
“You're just saying that so I won't be worried about you aren't you?”
 
“Yeah I am. But seriously, don't worry about me. Did you guys have fun hanging out tonight?”
 
“It was fine. We missed you though. I'm supposed to call everyone and tell them why you didn't come. What do you want me to tell them?”
 
“How do you think they will react to the truth?”
 
“I don't think they will mind. Why would they?”
 
“Well my parents minded a lot, so I'm kinda scared about telling people. Plus you guys are my only friends besides Nick, but he really doesn't count anymore.”
 
“They won't say anything about it. I know they won't.”
 
“Hey Yugi, since it's not that late yet, do you want to go out and get something to eat?”
 
“Sure, could I call my grandpa first?”
 
“Yeah, I have a phone in here go ahead and use it; I'll be waiting downstairs for you.”
 
“Thanks.”
 
I grab my, “Do not meddle in the affaires of Dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with catsup” sweat shirt and head downstairs. Once I get down there I run into my aunt.
 
“So where are you going?”
 
“Yugi and I are going out to get something to eat. Do you have a problem with that?”
 
“No, so is this like a date then?” I thought you had your eye on my boss.”
 
“It's nothing like that Aunt Sam. We are only friends. Can't friends go out to eat together?”
 
“I didn't mean it like that. It was a joke. So what did you tell him? He did ask you why you didn't go to his house, right?”
 
“I told him the truth.”
 
“Good. It's not a good idea to lie to your friends.”
 
“I know. And he had no problem with it so that's even better.”
 
“Well he is your friend. Why would he have a problem with you?”
 
“Did you forget that I'm here because my parents had a problem with it?”
 
“No, but they don't count. They are homophobic morons who are scared to be different.”
 
At that moment Yugi comes downstairs and says, “My grandpa said that it was alright. So where did you have in mind Gabriel?”
 
“I don't know. I was hoping that you knew of somewhere.”
 
“Sure, I know a few places. We can go check some of them out before making a choice.”
 
“You boys have fun. It was nice seeing you again Yugi. I want to talk to you some more with you Gabe later with you get back, ok?”
 
“Ok Aunt Sam.”
 
“It was nice seeing you again too.”
 
“Let's go Yugi. If you give her a chance she will talk with us until midnight.”
 
She sticks her tongue out at us in a childish manner before saying, “I'm not that bad. Is it against the law to be concerned about you and your friends?”
 
“It should be. I'm just playing with you Aunt Sam. I'll be home later.”
 
“Then go already.”
 
We walk out the door and head down the block. After some time we finally make a decision as to where we are going to eat.
 
We walk in and wait to be seated. Once we are sitting down we start to talk about anything and everything.
 
Yugi is really more of my friend then the others. I'm not saying that they aren't my friends, but I'm closer to Yugi for some reason.”
 
We were in the middle of eating when the door of the restaurant opens up again to show Kaiba and a smaller boy. I guess he's Kaiba's brother, he looks like a sweet kid.
 
I stop everything and just stare at Kaiba.
 
I wonder what it would be like to be held by him. He is so tall. It makes me feel as short as Yugi sometimes when I'm standing by him.
 
I think he would look even hotter if he smiled. I bet he has a great smile.
 
Um great make this even harder. He's sitting at the table right next to us. Now I'll never be able to finish my food. I'm going to be staring at him all night.
 
Hope no one notices, they probably do. I'm sitting here like a dumb ass looking at Kaiba. What was his first name again? Oh that's right, Seto. It's such a nice name. I wonder how it would sound if I said it.
 
You know like in the bedroom or something. Great that's all I need. If I keep thinking like this I'm going to have to go to the bathroom to take care of something.
 
I guess it's a good thing that he is not looking over here. How would I explain myself? It's not like I could say that I think he's hot. He probably isn't even gay. All the women who would throw themselves at him. He could have anyone he wants.
 
He could even have my aunt if he wanted to. I'm not saying that my aunt is a slut or anything. It's just that with all the power he has in this town it would not surprise me.
 
I need to stop thinking about that. It's making me very depressed and that's all I need right now.
 
I', finally snapped out of my little day dream world by Yugi almost yelling, “What is wrong with you Gabriel!?”
 
“What? Sorry about that Yugi I must have dazed off. Were you saying something?”
 
Kaiba and his brother look over at us and I look away.
 
“Why did you daze off like that Gabriel? What were you thinking about?”
 
“Nothing Yugi. It was nothing don't worry about it. I just dazed off. Don't worry about it. So what were we talking about?”
 
“I can't remember right now. You were dazed off for awhile. It looked like you were staring at Kaiba and his brother over there. Why were you looking at them?” He leans over the table so he can whisper, “Do you like Kaiba?”
 
I look away from him to try and hide my blush before replying, “It's nothing like that. I just dazed off. Could you please drop it?”
 
“Ok sorry. Let's finish eating and leave. I should get home before grandpa starts to worry.”
 
“Fine with me. My aunt will probably worry as well if I'm not home soon.”
 
We finish eating and get ready to leave. Before we do though Yugi says, “I have to use the washroom. I'll meet you outside.”
 
“Sure Yugi I'll be outside.” I walk away and out the doors to wait for him to get out of the restroom. Once he comes out we leave. I walk him home before going on my way to my own house.
