Ok peeps, this is my first fanfic that I have posted so be nice. ;; this is a Varon x Joey fic, which there is a great lack of this pairing in fan stuff. sob any who, there is some Mai bashing, but don't be too mad. I just felt that lately she has been bitchy on the show and I don't really like her much any more. Oh, and this is Yaoi in case you hadn't noticed. If you don't like it, hit the "back" button NOW! Ok? Good.

Finally, I don't own Yu-gi-oh or any of the characters. Wish I did though. -

You Found Me

"Next up, Joey Wheeler." Joey stood up and headed for the platform. He was dressed in his school uniform, but today it was buttoned up and his hair was gelled back. Why? Because today he was graduating and Serenity felt he needed to look his best. Though he felt he looked better with his hair down but he couldn't argue with his sister.

'Well, the day has finally come' he thought to himself. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't hype himself up. Seriously, here he was, about to finally get away from teachers and their stupid lessons, the whole nine yards. But for what? What was left now?

As he made his way up the stairs, he looked out into the crowd. He spotted Serenity and his mom right away. Serenity was smiling and clapping madly while his mom gave him an excepting smile. Joey guessed that was supposed to make him feel better. He smiled back and waved, then continued to scan the crowd. He saw Gramps and Yami (Yami and Yugi now each had their own bodies. Long story), Tristan's folks (Tristan's dad had the same haircut), Tea's (they were crying their eyes out, even though Tea had been up on stage fifteen minutes ago), Bakura's dad (he had the same white hair, but his was tidier then Bakura's) and of course Mokuba with five of Kaiba's guards.

As Joey had thought, there was no sign of his dad. He didn't think he would show, but it would have been kinda nice if he had.

Joey made it to the podium and was handed his diploma, but he was still looking. Where was she? She had promised that she would be here.

Where was Mai…?

"Way to go big brother. You did it. You're now a graduate!" cried Serenity, giving Joey a huge hug. Joey smiled down at her.

"Thank Serenity. Your big brother's even older now!" Serenity giggled and finally pried herself off her brother.

"So, should we get going." asked Yugi. Yami had his arm around his hakiri and looked like he was getting impatient. The group had decided to go to the ice-cream shop to celebrate, but Yami wanted to get home so he and Yugi could do some celebrating of their own.

"Eh, you guys go ahead. I'll meet ya there. I have to go do something first." replied Joey. "By the way, could I borrow your bike Tristan?"

"Well…ok but if you ding it your dead, got it."

"No prob. See ya guys later." Joey grabbed Tristan's keys and jumped onto the motorcycle, revving the engine. With a final wave he was off. He had to find Mai. She had promised she would come to his graduation and she wouldn't break a promise, right?

He sped up and down the roads, trying to find the pub that Mai liked to hang out at. He had been there a few times but always got lost trying to find it. Finally on his third time down the block he found it.

'I hope she's here'

He parked the bike and headed in. he was instantly hit with a thick fog of cigarette smoke. He coughed a little, but kept moving. He looked around. It was dark and not usually a place that he would usually like to be in, but Mai liked it and brought him there on most of their dates. They had been seeing each other for a little over three months. Joey loved Mai, he did. But recently Mai had been distant and Joey couldn't figure out why. But he asked if she would come to his graduation and she said she would. She promised. And that wasn't the only thing she had promised. Joey knew his dad would kick him out once he graduated and Mai agreed to let him stay with her. But now she was gone…

"Hey, weren't you supposed to be somewhere today Mai?"

"Hmm? Oh, I was supposed to go to the twerp's thing, but I just didn't feel up to it." Joey turned and looked to the bar. That had been Mai's voice!

"Jeez girl, why do you keep leading him on? I mean, you don't actually like the guy and in all honesty, his life is more fucked up then yours is." There was an older looking man at the bar in late thirties to early forties, sitting by the bar next to Mai. He had one arm around her shoulder and his other hand on her thigh.

"Ha! That the understatement of the year. Seriously, I am getting sick of the 'oh woe is me. My daddy hits me and I can't ask anyone for help.' It makes me sick." What? Why was Mai talking like that? She wouldn't say those things. She was always behind Joey, always there for him. She said so!

"Then why lead him on when you have me?" asked the older man.

"Because he's so much fun to play with. Though I wouldn't mind playing with you a little…" Mai…?

"Sound's like a plan…" the two locked lips, the older man's hand sliding up Mai's skirt.

Oh god. This couldn't be happening. Mai loved him! Not this, this old geezer!

Joey turned around and ran, his eyes watering. He bumped into some guys, but didn't give them even a second glance. He just kept running. He couldn't really remember what happened next. Everything was a blur. All he knew was that somehow he ended up in front of the ice-cream shop on Tristan's bike.

Rubbing his eyes to get rid of any evidence of tears, he got off the bike and headed in.

"Hey Joey! What took you so long?" chirped Yugi. The whole gang was there. Yugi, Yami, Bakura, Tea, Serenity, Tristan and even Duke showed up for the big event. Tristan walked over, slinging an arm around Joey's shoulders.

"You weren't trying to pick up girls with my bike were ya?" he teased. Joey shoved him off.

"Please. You couldn't pick up an old lady with that thing."

"What?"

"Chill out Tristan. It's just a bike." said Duke. Tristan and Duke commenced to have a little squabble about the bike while Joey went over to talk with the others.

He didn't really hear what they were saying. He didn't even know why he was here. He just wanted to go where no one could find him. But he knew if he didn't show up that they would try to find him. So he decided to hang a little, and then run off to hide somewhere.

"Hello mates. Long time so see eh?" the group turned to see none other then Varon. He was dressed in a black leather jacket over a red vest with black buckles running across it, accenting his slim, muscular build. He also wore a pair of baggy blue jeans that hung off his hips, and of course a pair of goggles wrapped around his head. 'What's he doing here' thought Joey. He hadn't seen him since the whole destroying the human population fiasco. Back then Joey hated Varon because he took Mai from him. But now he didn't really have anything against him.

"What the hell are you doing here!" yelled Tristan. Varon tried to look hurt, but ended up just smirking.

"Calm down. I ain't looking for trouble. Just passing through and happened to spot ya I did. Thought it might be nice to have a chat." The gang was still hesitant, except for Serenity.

"Um, I feel silly for asking but, who are you again?" Varon glanced at her, and gave her a grin.

"Sorry, how rude of me. The name's Varon. Charmed." He said, grabbing Serenity's hand and giving it a light peck. Serenity blushed.

"Hey! Get your mitts off of her!" yelled Joey, pulling Serenity out of Varon's hands.

"Oops, sorry mate. Didn't mean to ruffle your tail feathers. I'd be guessing she's your sis then?" asked Varon. The group gaped at him.

"Well, yes, he is my brother but, how did you know?" asked Serenity. Nobody they had met before could tell the two were related at first glance. Varon just gave her an odd look, and grinned.

"Easy. Your eyes gave you away."

"My eyes?"

"Yup. In all honesty, your brothers got just about the prettiest eyes I've ever seen and whilst yours are a different color, it's obvious that ya'll are related." Pretty? Did Varon just say that his eyes were pretty? Joey could feel his face grow warm, but didn't let it show.

"Are you saying that you can tell that we're related just by looking in our eyes?" asked Serenity curiously. Varon nodded.

"You'd be surprised how much you can learn about a person just by looking them in the eye."

"What could you possibly learn by just looking in a person's eyes." asked Yami irritably. Varon gave him a funny look.

"Hey Pharaoh, did you know there was two of ya?" he asked, pointing. Yugi sighed.

"It's a long story. I'm Yugi and this is the Pharaoh, Yami." Varon looked him blankly, and then shrugged.

"Ok then, Yami was it? I can tell quite a bit by looking someone in the eye. Like in your case, I can tell that you don't actually want to hang here with these blokes. You would rather be at home showing the little one here a good time." Yami's eyes grew wide as his face turned bright red. Yugi looked up at his koi, his own face turning an even deeper red. The rest of the group laughed silently, except for Tristan who was laughing loudly. Varon turned and looked Tristan over, chuckling to himself.

"I wouldn't be laughing if I was you mate. Yami's not the only one thinking dirty thoughts…" Tristan looked at him dumbfounded.

"This lug? Doesn't take a genius to figure out this perv. Who's he thinking about now?" asked Duke, finding entertainment in Tristan's embarrassment.

"Funny ya should ask. If I'm right, he was thinking about you mate." Duke's grin faded. He turned to Tristan asking, "Is that true?"

Tristan just looked at the ground and mumbled something under his breath. Duke's face turned red, but he still stared at Tristan.

"Well!"

"Can we talk about this outside?" asked Tristan sheepishly. Duke nodded and the two went outside. As soon as they were out the door, the others laughed loudly. Everyone that is, except for Joey. He just stared off. Varon noticed Joey's odd behavior and looked around to see if anyone one else had noticed, but it seemed that no one had. What the bloody hell was going on here?

But before Varon could ask, Joey announced that he should be headed home and, after some protest from his friends, he was out the door.

I hope it was ok. Sorry there was no action. It's coming! In fact, I have almost finished this story, (on my computer that is) so you should see the ending soon. (And yes, there should be a lemon. )
