Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Love and Lost ❯ Love and Lost-Chapter 10 ( Chapter 10 )

Sorry for the late updates! ENJOY!!!

Ryou sighed sitting on his bed Jou was supposed to come by almost two hours ago, he gave up on him though and had dinner alone. At least Seto was on time if not early when he came by Ryou turned off the television with a sigh as he went upstairs slipping on some silk pajamas that Seto had bought him, Ryou frowned as he realized what he was wearing.

"I shouldn't even be thinking of you…you crazy, unexplainable…" Ryou mumbled to himself about Seto's recently bizarre behavior as the doorbell rang.

Ryou was curious but he was covered decently enough as he ran to answer the door Jou standing there a goofy grin on his face.

"Hiya Ry sorry I'm late." He slurred slightly

Ryou instantly frowned at this "Jou? Have you been drinking or something?" He asked unsure.

"Yeah…" He said shoving past Ryou into the house "I only had a couple, what's the big deal?" He said sounding a little…irritated?

"Um…listen maybe you should sit down for a minute I'll make you some coffee so you can get home all right." Ryou said walking in the kitchen to put on a pot only to have Jou snatch his wrist.

"I can't go home now, do ya realize the time Ry." He said

"All-all right that's fine." Ryou said relived that Jou simply let him go make the coffee.

Ryou was incredibly nervous, a drunk Jou was not someone he wanted to deal with he was getting angry at the littlest things…'god I need to start listening to those quite nagging doubts of mine' Ryou thought inwardly… 'Maybe I should call Seto, or the cops' Ryou thought debating on what he should do if the situation got bad. Thankfully, Jou seemed pretty calm just sat…or slumped on the couch as he channel surfed. Ryou put a lot of sugar and a little milk in the coffee as he handed it to Jou who made a sour face at it's taste and didn't touch the rest of it.

"Ya have anything else?" He said

"I could get you some water." Ryou offered

"You should drink with me sometime Ry, I'm sure you'll have fun…" He said suggestively.

"I-I've had enough fun tonight and so have you I think." Ryou said laying Jou down as he brought him a fluffy blanket wrapping it around him as Jou almost instantly fell asleep and Ryou sighed relived. He went upstairs picking up the phone and dialing Seto's number.

"Hello?" Seto said fully awake sitting at his desk.

"Hi…" Ryou said softly hoping he wanted to talk to him.

"Hey you, what are you up to so late?" He asked sounding incredibly cute when he did so.

"Practically babysitting a drunk Jou." Ryou said with a sigh.

"Drunk? Are you sure you should be around him like that?" Seto asked concerned.

"He's asleep it's okay." Ryou said as the two continued their conversation until he heard Jou knock on the door as he told Seto to hold on and he set the phone down letting Jou in who glanced at the phone angrily knowing it was Seto Ryou was talking to.

"I thought you two were over." He stated emotionless

Ryou frowned "you should be in bed, you'll make yourself sick." Ryou said as Joey sat on Ryou's bed and pulled him with him.

"Answer my question Ry, if you two are over then why were you calling him…afraid I might do something to you?" He said his voice becoming slightly hard. "Ya know I would never hurt you like that bastard would." He said looking into Ryou's chocolate eyes.

Ryou frowned "You've got him all wrong Jou, he's not that bad of a person really, he's really great if you get to know him." Ryou said

"Am I not good enough or something?" He asked a little angrily

"I never said that Jou, you are a great person and me and Seto are over we are no longer together we never really were." I said telling the truth

"Did ya love him?" Jou asked "Did you give everything to him?" He asked

I got defensive on that point "That's really not your business Jou and even if I did love him what would it matter now?"

"Don't get smart with me!" He yelled "It's a simple question and all I want is an answer did you give away everything to him…you apparently gave him your heart did you give him your soul as well? What else has he stolen from you?!" Jou yelled standing up glaring at Ryou who sat upon the bed.

"He never stole anything!" Ryou yelled "I willingly gave him my heart, my soul, and my body…is that what you wanted to hear?" Ryou said near tears "Is it!" Ryou yelled staring at Jou's shocked face.

"You're an idiot, how could you give that to him? You should know that he doesn't care about you! Did he lie to you or something?" Jou asked

"He constantly reminded me that he didn't love me, I was fully aware that our relationship was nothing more than physical." Ryou said his voice hard "Now stop insulting him! I'm sick of it already I care about him I always have and even though I tried to move on, I can't! I can't stand you insulting him and everyone misjudging him…he really is a great person, and no one knows that but me." Ryou said bitterly.

Seto swallowed hard on the other side of the phone hearing Ryou's outburst and fell to his knees.

"No…" He whispered softly "Stop it Ryou please, I never meant to take away everything you had, I don't want to hurt you…please stop it tell me your lying…" He said to himself somberly. He wanted to hang up but he couldn't help himself but to continue and listen.

Jou's fists tightened at what Ryou had said about the one man he hated more than anyone…and the simple fact the one man he loved more than anything or anyone ever actually loved that enemy. No, not only loved him, worshiped him he gave that bastard his heart…his innocence. It should have belonged to him not Seto.

"Your nothing but a slut Ryou, you knew he didn't care and yet you let him have you…I'm wasting my time with you after all…good bye." He said simply leaving as Ryou sat on his bed slightly stunned as tears began spilling down his delicate features at Jou's harsh words…and for some reason he believed them to be true. He looked at the phone Seto had heard them, he probably didn't even care it was all an illusion how could Seto possibly love someone like him he was probably just humoring him. If he wasn't a slut he was at least treated like one. He looked at the phone hanging it up without a second thought, it soon rang afterward but Ryou ignored it as he dressed himself and decided to go out and get some air…he needed to be alone but his house offered no comfort. True it was late but eh didn't care as he soon found himself at the park and perched himself upon a bench sniffling softly to himself as he cried into his knees just wishing for all his pain to go away. Plainly and simply love was awful.

"I won't love anymore…that's simple enough no one will ever have my heart again, I have no heart, no soul, no one will ever own me again." Ryou growled as he sat upon the bench.

"God no…please Ryou don't believe him…damnit I love you so much." Seto breathed quickly trying to calm his nerves about Ryou. "Please…don't let me destroy you, all I wanted was for you to be happy…" He trailed off shaking his head in his denial about Ryou.
