Hey, guess what? Someone said this story has potential. Do you know what that means…? That's right! A second chapter! But this time, with Jou and Yugi--my favorite couple (Along with Jou and Yami, and Yami/Jou/Yugi)! :3

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Yu-Gi-Oh, it would be shoujo. I think most of you figured that one already. ^_^

RATED: Still PG. A little cuter, though. ^_^

After Anzu began searching for Seto, and Honda "mysteriously" left, Jounouchi and Yugi were left by themselves, in the midst of the other dancers.

"Well?" Jounouchi bent down to meet his much shorter friend's face. "Aren't you gonna go dance with someone? Everyone else had someone in mind, and I'm guessing that you do, too?"

"Well…" Yugi's heart raced when he looked up at the flaxen-haired, chocolate-eyed figure. He always had Jounouchi in mind. No matter how hard he tried to ignore his attraction to him, it never faded--not even when he bullied Yugi in the past. After their friendship was established, the small, shy boy's feelings for Jounouchi gradually evolved into love. But, he had always assumed that his best friend only liked girls--especially when they were acquainted with Mai. And, he feared he would lose Jounouchi to his own selfish desires to start something deeper with him. Yugi was never brave to begin with, and not really good at making friends, although he had fame for being King of Games. Thus, he always felt he was still chasing after Jounouchi, even though stood right next to him.

"Well, what?" Jounouchi wondered aloud. He was surprised to see a blush forming on the short, young male's cheeks. The blonde felt his face warming as well. Jounouchi definitely did wonder what would make his most trusted companion blush. A small fraction of him wished that he, himself was the cause. But most of him told him not to be so optimistic. He always thought Yugi was terribly cute--especially when embarrassed like this. However, it was masked by the teasing and tormenting the timid one. After all, most males wouldn't admit they have a crush on someone of the same gender, would they?

Yugi played with the hem of his tight, black shirt, and tried to slow his breathing down, as he was getting ready to finally admit his feelings to his golden-haired object of affection. The slow song only served to make the setting more romantic. "J-Jou… I…"

"Yeah…?"

"I… w-want you… to dance with me," Yugi said the last four words very quickly.

"What…?!"

Yugi couldn't tell whether Jounouchi was startled, or just couldn’t hear him. Either way, he still repeated his words more coherently, supporting his honesty in his request. "I want you to dance with me."

"R-really?" the brown-eyed boy couldn't believe his ears. His wish has been granted. He never had an interest in school dances, but he did want to hold Yugi in his arms, even if only for a few minutes. "Okay…"

The childlike, violet-eyed boy gasped, finding a pair of strong arms around his shoulders. In response, he eventually wrapped his slender arms around the taller male's firm waist. "J-Jounouchi…" Yugi stammered. "Y-you don't mind that I… kinda… want us t-to be… more than friends…?"

"Yugi," Jounouchi replied, guiding his partner into the rhythm. "It might take some getting adjusted to, but remember this: I will always be your best friend, no matter what--even if we become something more." With one hand, he tilted Yugi's head up to meet his eyes. The concern of other people watching them became virtually irrelevant. "I know I've promised you that a million times, but I wanna say it again, just to make you happier."

Yugi grinned adorably, feeling the undying devotion of his crush. "It's all right," he said softly. "It just makes me happy because I know you'll keep that promise."

"You're so sweet." Jounouchi bent further down, and kissed Yugi's forehead. The slighter male blushed very brightly, his amethyst eyes widening. At the top of his glance, Jounouchi could have sworn that he saw Honda pointing at Yugi and him. But he was surprised to see Honda grab Ryou by the wrist, then embrace him tightly, slowly rocking in tune with the music.

"What is it, Jounouchi?"

"Oh, nothing," he replied. "Just… I guess Honda finally found what he was looking for."

"And so did Anzu," Yugi said, dividing his attention between his love, and his female friend, being kissed by Seto. Yugi laid his head on Jounouchi's abdomen. 'And so did I…'

"Yugi."

"Yes…?"

"Don't you think we should go somewhere a little more private if you wanna do that?" Jounouchi smirked at the tiny young male.

"Okay," Yugi answered. The boys found a space in the corner away from the other participants. They sat down together, with Jounouchi holding Yugi by the shoulder with one arm.

Silence fell between the two. After a bit of hesitation, Yugi was the first to break it. "Jounouchi…"

He turned and smiled sweetly. "What is it…?"

Yugi paused, thinking about what he wanted to say. At the last moment, he decided to put it off. "It… it's nothing…" he took a hold of his hand, and caressed it gently. The violet-eyed teenager then looked up at his partner's affectionate amber irises. "It can wait."

"Oh, okay." Jounouchi brought Yugi even closer to him, and placed his dirty blonde head upon his best friend's distinctively spiky hair. "But I'll be waiting…" he whispered.

'I guess I really didn't need to declare my love to you right now, because I trust you enough to know that you are aware of my feelings for you,' Yugi thought to himself. 'And I trust you, because you've kept the promise of being my best friend forever, no matter what happens to us--even if we become more than that. And I truly believe that you'll still keep that promise from now on…' He rested against Jounouchi's chest, hugging him warmly.

Okay, okay. I know. Too much sap. X__X But hey, this entire fic is actually compensation for all the times that I had to be a wallflower in my sad, tragic, Mary Sue-type life. I just got reminded of my horrible 8th grade dance. Stupid ex-crush! Why did you betray me?!?!?! X( And stupid prom that I didn't go to cause I had no damn date! But, life must go on, and I have learned a valuable lesson from all this: Never try to attend any formal occasion that tries to imitate Noah's Ark--especially if you are the single, loner type who should write fanfiction for a living. So, I won't! ^_^ At least the guy whom I asked to the prom was nice about rejecting me… ¬_¬

Anyway, the next chappy will feature Anzu and Seto! Why, because together, they remind me of Squall and Rinoa (FF8)! And if you don't like it, I can have you fired! >P Actually, you just don't have to read the story. ^_^ See you soon! I hope…
