Disclaimer : I don't own anything Yugioh, so please don't sue. I would be
really sad if you did.
A/N: Ahh. you have entered the series called, "A Different Time" Before you read this, you could read the Prologue first. you really don't have to, but it might help a little bit.
(These "A/N's" are sort of important too. I'll stop whining about how low my self esteem is, and how bad I think my writing is. just so that you can read them for the information.)
This is a Kaiba/Joey. Seto/Jounouchi. etc fic. (Gosh, I really love that pairing), yeah, but I also might do other pairings. I'm not sure. Cuz you know that in every life time Yugi and the rest of them are going to be there too.
/Joey's thoughts/ [Yami talking to Yugi] {Yugi talking to Yami}
"ADT (A Different Time) Yugioh"
Chapter 1 - End of the line
Kaiba couldn't stand it. For some reason, his resolve was slipping.
During class, his eyes kept wandering to that blonde hair and puppy dog eyes. He couldn't stand it. There was no way he was going to remain sane after another day had gone past without him taking some sort of action.
But, Kaiba knew that he couldn't.
He sighed. I'm getting weak. I'm getting soft. I need to concentrate. Yeah, concentrate. school is important. Need to get good grades so that my business associates will not use that against me. I am smart enough. hell, I'm smart enough not to have to listen. I think I could just stare at him for all time. It doesn't even help that he looks so damn good. That and I think he keeps looking at me too. Well, if I was being stared at, I would stare back, too. Maybe he noticed that I'm staring.
This led to more thoughts of whether or not he should just stare at the object of his desire or not. In the end, he just opted to stare.
His heart ached for some kind of connection with Joey, but it didn't seem like there was anything between them. Everything that was said between them was either an insult or. hell, an insult. Something was telling him otherwise though. Some part deep within him was telling him that those emotions were just on the surface. There was something deeper.
Something more important that he was looking for.

/Thank God school is over. I think Kaiba is starting to notice that I'm staring at him. Damn him and his piercing blue eyes. Man, I think I'm swooning over Kaiba. I can't stand it any more. I can't. I'm going to have to do something. Even if he hates me and laughs at me, I will have to do something. I just can't sit here for the rest of another school year just staring at him and never doing anything./
"Stupid long crush," Joey mumbled to himself while getting up to leave.
"So, you're starting to talk to your imaginary friends now, puppy dog?" Kaiba had actually started to speak with the intention of asking the boy over to his house or something remotely nice.
Joey looked up in surprise, he felt his heart stop when they met eyes. Piercing blue ones met chocolate brown eyes. /I can't seem to take a deep breath. What's going on?/
Even Kaiba could feel it. He could feel his heart beat erratically just because of one look from Joey. I need to remember to breathe. What's happening to me? He looks like he's having trouble breathing too.
They had been staring for a while, but no one had noticed, not even Yugi, Tristan, Tea, Mai, or Bakura. They were all busy.
Joey knew one thing, and it was instinct more than anything else. He had this urgent desire to touch Kaiba. Deep inside, he felt that everything would be alright once he made physical contact with him.
Never breaking the eye contact that was first established, Joey extended his hand to Kaiba's hand. Both boys knew that something was going to change once they touched, but they didn't know if either was ready.
"Hey, Joey!," Yugi yelled out, nudging him. Joey and Kaiba lost the eye contact, and Kaiba let go of the breath he didn't realize he was holding. Their heartbeats returned to normal, left them feeling isolated.
"Joey? Are you alright?" Tristan walked beside him, "You don't look too well. Did Kaiba do something to you?"
With that comment Kaiba snapped out of the wonderment he was in and realized that he was just standing there in front of Joey. "Bye puppy dog. Make sure to wear your leash when you go for your walk."
Kaiba turned and left, trench coat flowing behind him.
Once again, Joey stood there in surprise. /I know he felt what I felt too. I could see it in his eyes. I can either play this charade with him or confront him. How can I choose? My friends will think. Forget my friends. I've come to the end of the paved road and it's time to hope for the best and just dive in./
Resolve intact, Joey pulled on his backpack and ran after Kaiba. It was his turn to surprise everyone else. "Kaiba, wait up. I need to talk to you."
Yugi and company looked at each other, the same question on each of their minds, 'what just happened?'
"Should we follow him?" Bakura asked.
{What do you think, Yami? Should we follow them? I don't know what's gotten into Joey.}
[Aibou, I sense a force stronger than the magic that I possess. Maybe something is wrong.]
"Yami says that we should follow them."
While that was happening, Joey had to face Kaiba, and answer the same question that was on everyone's mind. 'What just happened?'
Kaiba had stopped at the end of the hall when he heard Joey yell out to him. He had wanted to keep walking to avoid any confrontation because he wasn't sure how all this was going to work out, but once he had heard the voice, his feet wouldn't listen to his mind any longer.
He slowly turned to face the blond haired boy, and lost any snide remark he was about to make to cover up for his stopping. He couldn't understand why whenever he made eye contact with Joey when making a sarcastic remark, his heart didn't stop like it did when he just made eye contact.
Joey gathered all the confidence he could muster, and said, "Kaiba, I love you."
Yugi and company had arrived just in time to hear Joey's confession of love, and just stared, mouth hanging open.
/Man, I hadn't meant to say that. I really thought. I wasn't thinking. Kaiba's going to hate me now. He's going to start laughing. Why did Yugi and them have to see this? It's going to be more embarrassing./
Kaiba looked from Joey to Yugi and them and back to Joey. There were so many other questions, but he knew he had to do something. Something to take that worried look off Joey's face.
Kaiba walked closer to Joey, whispered in his ear, causing him to shudder, "I love you, too." and kissed him. It wasn't rough and hot and it wasn't a small peck on the lips, but more like a slow burn. A slow burn that consumed their souls.
Both were lost to the fire that the kiss enkindled in their whole bodies. Everyone was in shock.and just stared not realizing that they should be averting their eyes. And only two people noticed the time shift, the trapped souls in the millennium items.
A/N: okay, end of chapter 1. I shall hopefully continue this soon, but you never know. Hope you liked it. R/R Okay, and I realize that it seems pretty quick for it to be the first chapter, but there's a reason for that, at least I'm trying to make sure that there's a reason for it. :o)
