Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Gabriel ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

I just wanted to put a little warning on this chapter Seto will seem out of character, but I believe that he would seem that way if he were ever to fall in love with anyone. I hope you like this fic.

 

Chapter seven

 

I slowly walk out of Yugi's room and down the stairs to see who I'm supposed to be going out with.

 

I almost faint when walking down the stairs. Standing there dressed in black dress pants, a blue silk shirt, and a black leather trench coat is none other then the person I have been crushing on since I first saw him, Seto Kaiba.

 

I trip on the last step and almost fall. I look up at Seto and smile showing him that I'm ok.

 

He raises one eye brow and grins at me.

 

I take a few steps away from the stairs and stand in front of him.

 

“Hi, these are for you.” He hands me a dozen roses.

 

I can't talk. I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.

 

Yugi comes to stand next to me. He motions for me to come down so that he can whisper in my ear, “What's wrong Gabriel? I thought you liked Kaiba. Say something. Don't keep him waiting all night.”

 

Once I'm standing up right again I try again to say something, but the only thing I can manage to say is, “Thanks.”

 

“Is there something wrong Gabriel? If you would rather I not be here I can leave.”

 

I actually hear something in his voice. I think its concern and also I think I hear a note of disappointment.

 

Does this mean that he has some kind of feelings for me?

 

Does this mean that he is gay? I never would have dreamed this to be possible. I can't disappoint him. I can't disappoint myself. This could be my only chance to be with him I have to take it.

 

“No Kaiba, it's just that I didn't expect you to be the one Yugi set me up with.”

 

“You had someone else in mind then?”

 

“No. I thought that I had no chance with you. That's all. I'm glad you're here.”

 

“Then should we get going?”

 

“Yes that's a great idea Kaiba.”

 

“Call me Seto. You don't have to call me something everyone else does.”

 

“Alright Seto.”

 

He smiles at me. I think I was right he does have feelings for me. Wait, what if this is only a trick? What if he is only pretending to like me so that he can humiliate me later on? What am I thinking; he would never do that to me. I think, I hope.

 

I don't know what to think right now. I want so much for him to love me like I love him, wait is this really love that I feel for him? I thought that what I had with Nick was love, but I was wrong. I had to have been wrong, why else would he have hurt me so much like he did?

 

“Gabriel are you ok?”

 

“Yes, why?”

 

“You have been staring off into space for a few minutes. Are you sure your fine?”

 

“Sorry about that. I was thinking. I daze off when I'm thinking about something big or important.”

 

“Can I ask you what you were thinking about?”

 

“I may tell you later. I don't want to now.”

 

“Let's go before we're late. We have a reservation to make.”

 

“We do? Let's go then. I didn't realize you made a reservation for us. What else do you have planed for us?”

 

“I'll tell you later when we get closer to doing it. I want to surprise you.”

 

“Ok, let me say goodbye to Yugi first.”

 

“I'll be waiting by the car. See you later Yugi.” He takes one last look at me before walking to the door and out.

 

I turn to Yugi and hug him. “Thank you so much Yugi! I don't know how you did it, but thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me. I never thought I would ever have a chance. Will you call my Aunt? I only told her that I was going to come over here.”

 

“It's cool Gabriel. You're welcome. Your Aunt already knows. We'll talk about it later. Call me when you get home. I want to know everything.”

 

I release him and say while heading for the door, “I will defiantly call you when I get home. You can hear all about how your little plan worked.” I head out the door and look for Seto.

 

I see him leaning against an ice blue hummer. Look at him. All he needs to do is stand there and he looks good

 

He notices that I'm staring at him and smiles at me. I love that smile. It looks so good on his face. I should make sure that he smiles a lot more often.

 

“Are you ready to go Gabriel?”

 

I walk over so I'm standing right in front of him and say, “Yep. Let's get going.”

 

He goes and opens the door for me and I climb in.

 

“Would you like me to put your flowers in the back so they don't get ruined?”

 

“Yes please.” I hand them to him and he places them in the back, he then walks around the car and climbs in the drivers seat and starts the hummer.

 

Once we have been driving a few minuets he looks over at me briefly before looking at the road again and says, “So how have you been lately Gabriel? I mean I see you in school and you look fine and happy, but there was that day a couple of weeks ago when I thought you looked ready to cry the whole day, except when I saw you later on at that restaurant with Yugi. You almost looked happy again.”

 

“Oh that day. I got an e-mail before school from my boyfriend back in Chicago. He thought that our relationship was too hard to deal with so he was breaking up with me. I talked to both my Aunt and Yugi that night and realized that I needed to let it go. It still hurts a lot, but I'm better.”

 

“That was very spineless of him. The least he could have done was call you, I'm glad you're getting over him though, I don't like to see you depressed.” He grabs the hand that I had placed in my lap and squeezes it then holds on to it.

 

I look over at him and smile. He's really sweet. I never would have guessed it by the way he treats everyone I've seen around him. I wonder why that is. I should ask him about it.

 

“Hey Seto?”

 

“Yes Gabriel?”

 

“Why is it that you act one way at work and school and are acting a totally different way now?”

 

“Because I don't really like any of them. And that is what they expect from me even if I decided that I wanted to be someone's fiend,”

 

“Why are you going out on this date with me then? Wouldn't that hurt your image?”

 

“I don't care about any of that when it comes to you. I feel different about you.” He smiles at me again, just in a short time he has smiled at me a hell of a lot.

 

If this is how he's going to be with me all the time I really hope that this isn't the last date we share. I love to see him smile. Great now I sound like a McDonald's slogan.

 

“Why?” Great I didn't want to ask him that. What if he takes it the wrong way or something? I look away from him hoping that he didn't hear me.

 

“I really don't know. I just do. It's something that I can't explain, but I don't think I really want to explain it. I just want to let things happen for once in my life.”

 

He parks the hummer and gets out. I open the door and he is right there waiting to help me out. I guess he has already chosen that he will be the man in this. Not like I'm complaining or anything. I like being the girl remember.

 

We walk to the front doors of the restaurant and walk in. This is a very nice place. Not like the places I've been with my Aunt and my friends.

 

I stand next to him and wait until the waiter comes to sit us.

 

We have a table with a very nice view of the garden. It's very beautiful out there. I should draw a picture of it later. Maybe I can add Seto and me to it. That would be a nice picture to have.

 

“Seto don't you think the garden is beautiful?”

 

“Not as beautiful as you are.” He looks straight in my eyes as he's telling me this.

 

I blush and look down. I'm not used to people telling me I'm beautiful.

 

Nick only said it a few times.

 

“Did I say something wrong?”

 

I look at him and smile before saying, “Not at all Seto it's just that I'm not really all that used to people telling me I'm beautiful. I mean no one's ever told me that I'm ugly, but you know what I mean.”

 

“Not even your last boyfriend told you that you're beautiful? How could he not see it?”

 

“Well he told me once or twice over the phone that he missed my beautiful face.”

 

“He's more pathetic then I first thought. Let me get off the subject. Here have a look at the menu.” He hands it to me and I start to look at it.

 

“They have some very good sushi here. Have you ever had sushi before?”

 

“Not really. I had a California roll once when I was still in Chicago. It was pretty good.”

 

“You might want to try some sushi then.”

 

“I think I will. Thank you for the suggestion.”

 

“It was no problem.”

 

The waiter comes back and we place our orders.

 

Once he is gone Seto starts a new conversation, “I've seen you draw sometimes in school. Is it just something you do in your free time or is it something you really like to do?”

 

“I love to draw. I've been doing it for as long as I remember.”

 

“What kinds of things do you draw?”

 

“It depends on my mood. But mostly I like to draw the people I know.”

 

“Really, does that mean that you draw pictures of your friends and Aunt only or do you draw other people who aren't your friends?”

 

“When you've seen me drawing in school, by any chance have you seen what I was drawing?”

 

“The last time I looked which was today I saw you drawing a picture of me and you sitting next to each other with my arms around you holding you close.”

 

“Oh, you saw that one, I started that one after my break up. I was thinking of how if you were ever to hold me like that I would feel so safe and warm.”

 

“Now you sound different from when I saw you for the first time at Kaiba Corp. and when I've seen you at school.”

 

 

Why do you say that Seto?”

 

 

“Well the first time I met you I insulted you and you lashed back at me. I didn't know what to say really. Then when I saw you at school you were always so quiet, but you stand up for what you think is right just like when you told me off you're still usually quiet though. And then now you're talking a lot. I'm not saying that you talk too much, it's just that I didn't really expect you to be talking like this.”

 

“Well I guess it could be because the subject is my drawings. I love to talk about them once someone gets me going.”

 

“Have you done anymore like that?”

 

“Not really. I have a lot of you though. Pretty much since I went to Kaiba Corp. with my Aunt I've been drawing pictures of you. The one you say today is only the second I've drawn of you and me. I also have one of you and your brother. I started that one when I got back from eating out with Yugi that one day.”

 

“Could I maybe see them sometime? I really liked the one I saw today and would love to see the rest of them.”

 

“Sure. I can show them to you later on after our date.”

 

“Thanks.”

 

“Is there anything you do for a hobby?”

 

“I like to design new technology.”

 

The waiter comes back with our dinner. “Enjoy your meal sirs.”

 

We start to eat and get to know each other better. I really didn't know anything about him before tonight.

 

All I knew was that he was my age and was the CEO of Kaiba Corp.

 

After we finish we leave and get back into his car. He then takes me to the movies.

 

I love getting scared so I suggest the new horror movie that's come out.

 

Seto agrees with me and we go see it.

 

I have never been so scared in my life. Most of the movie I spent with my head buried in Seto's chest. I'm so glad that I went with him. His chest is perfect for snuggling up to.

 

After the movie we walk around a bit just enjoying each other's company.

 

Sometime during the movie he had grabbed my hand to try and comfort me and we have yet to release them.

 

So we walk for some time standing very close with our fingers intertwined.

 

For once I feel totally at ease. Before with Nick we couldn't hug or kiss or hold hands or anything because someone would see us and it would get back to my parents, but they aren't here so I can be as affectionate as I want to be with Seto.

 

I start to get tired so he takes me home.

 

When he parked the hummer in front of my house he once again came over to my side to help me out. He then grabs my roses and hands them back to me.

 

He puts an arm around my waist and asks, “Did you enjoy yourself tonight Gabriel?”

 

I lean my head on his arm as we walk to my door before saying, “Of course I did. It was the best date I've ever been on. I hope we can do it again sometime Seto.”

 

“I'll make sure that we do have another date. I'm glad that when I showed up at Yugi's you didn't tell me to leave.”

 

We stop in front of my door and I say, “I could never do that to you Seto. I really did have fun with you tonight. The date was wonderful.”

 

He leans in and kisses me. This is how my first kiss should have been.

 

The kiss is so gentle and passionate and filled with so much love and emotion.

 

He gently licks my bottom lip and I part my lips.

 

He sucks my lip into his mouth and nibbles on it.

 

I melt. If he wasn't holding my waist I would be a puddle of goo on the floor.

 

He pulls away and I'm stuck in a daze. I wish I hadn't wasted my first kiss before I met him. That was bliss.

 

He puts his hand on my cheek and whispers to me, “Go inside beautiful. I'll see you soon.” Then he pecks me on the lips and turns me to the door.

 

I numbly get out my keys and open the door, then I walk inside and close it behind me.

 

I watch from the window as he retreats back to his car and gets in. Once he drives away my daze is broken.

 

I start to run and jump and dance around the house screaming, “HE KISSED ME!!!”

 

My Aunt comes out of her room and gives me a death stare.

 

“I'm sorry I woke you Aunt Sam, but I had so much fun ,and he gave me flowers, and he kissed me, and he thinks I'm beautiful!”

 

“That's great Gabe, but we can talk about it later. I'm tired, I need sleep, go to bed.”

 

“Alright Aunt Sam see you in the morning.”

 

She just goes back into her room and closes the door.

 

I go to the kitchen and fill a vase up with water and place my roses in it.

 

I then take it up to my room and put it down on my dresser.

 

I change for bed and call Yugi to fill him in on what happened. He is so happy that I had a wonderful time and kept telling me how lucky I am.

 

Our conversation is cut shorter then our other ones, but that is because the tiredness I felt on the way home was returning and I had awaken Yugi with my call.
