"Icy Rain"


Joey's POV

I ran blindly down the street, shoving everyone out of the way like a madman. I don't know where exactly I'm headed but it beats being here. I'm just going to keep running, running away from it all.

Who knew you'd be so heartless?

Running for what seemed like an eternity, it wasn't until my lungs began to ache that I stopped. Breathing heavily, I looked around and realized that I was near the sea dock. How is it that I end up here every time?


Despite his unyielding grip, I managed to throw his hand off my arm. After that, I began to run, just like I did this morning, away from him, and out for the second time today, into the icy rain.

I raced off his estate, never wanting to see his snobby rich ass ever again. I continued my flight until his mansion disappeared from sight. I never want to go back.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I took in my surroundings. I'm standing on the dock where the gang and I first boarded the ship to Duelist Kingdom.

Wait, there's someone standing over there. I squinted my eyes and made out the basic outline of the person. Tall and lean with long hair. It seems to be a woman with her back facing me.

For some odd reason, she felt extremely familiar to me and I unknowingly moved closer to catch a glimpse of who she could be. However, upon hearing my steps, she alarmingly turned around.

On a dock lighted by a single lamp post, violet eyes shone through. Her beautiful features glowed in this pouring rain.

"Joey, is that you?" came her soothing voice.

"Hey, long time no see."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came out for a walk, that's all…What about you?"

"Same. I just needed some air and time alone."

We walked to the edge and sat down, hanging our legs right over the water. A moment of silence washed over us and for that I was thankful. The rushing of the waves calmed my feelings and for once I felt at peace.

"So Joey, what have you been up to lately? Find yourself a girl yet?"

At this question, I felt heat rise to my face. She knew of the feelings I used to have for her, but what she didn't know was that I was now gay.

"Yeah, regarding that…I'm not into girls anymore, if you get what I mean."

For a moment, shock was written all over her face. She shook it off and asked me who the lucky guy was.

"I don't think he would consider himself lucky because he hates my guts."

"Don't tell me…is it Kaiba?"

Ashamed, I nodded while turning away.

"What happened? Did you tell him?"

I sighed, knowing that this was going to be one long story.


"How could he reject you?"she asked as I finished.

"Why wouldn't he? Any normal person would. He's smart and filthy rich while I'm just some kid running around the streets picking fights with people."

"Joey, don't say that. You and I both know full well that giving up is not an option. If you really love him, don't give up on him just yet."

"But what else can I do? I don't have a chance at all, nothing, nada."

"Well, leave it to me. Stay with me for the next two weeks and I'll have Kaiba come begging for you," she offered, showing off a genuine smile.

Though skeptical of how it could happen, I took up her offer anyways. Boy, is this going to be a long two weeks or what?
