I think this one could have been better, so... If they're going a little too fast for your liking, don't be afraid to tell me! I'll see what I can work out. I do like where this is going, though. Please review!

"Hey! Hey, Kaiba-kun!" Yugi called, running down the front steps of the school to catch up with Seto, who always left before he did.

Sharp blue eyes turned to him. "Hello, Mutou-kun," Seto said quietly, the faintest smile on his lips. "Was there something you needed?"

Yugi nodded, resisting the urge to look away from the taller boy's harsh gaze, and instead breaking out in a wide grin. "Would you like to come to my house? If you're not too busy?" he asked, scrubbing his foot in the dirt nervously. "I want to hang out with you more."

Seto blinked, a frown crossing his features. "Mutou-kun-" He paused. No one had ever asked him to come over, and he wasn't sure how to respond. "Th-thank you?"

A warm hand was slipped into his and pulled him forward, past the students staring at them and onto the sidewalk going in the opposite direction of Seto's house. That was the rich section of town, he mused, watching the houses turn into townhouses and then apartments. If they'd gone the other way, there would have been mansions, each with acres of land and-

"Are you alright, Kaiba-kun?" Yugi murmured, dropping his hand and instead shoving it in his pocket. Seto glanced at him, surprised. His hand felt terribly empty, and cold, but he couldn't exactly take Yugi's hand back.

"I'm fine. Just a little... you know." Warmth bubbled up in his chest at Yugi's sympathetic smile.

"Ah. Well, my house is just up there." Yugi pointed to a game shop that Seto had only been in once, looking for a present for his younger brother. "I'm afraid I'm not the... most wealthy person."

Seto shook his head, brushing his chocolate brown hair out of his eyes. "That's okay Mutou-kun. It's nothing to apologize for." Yugi smiled at him, taking his hand again (the blue eyed teen turned red and bit his lip) and pulling him quicker up to the door, pushing the door open.

"I'm home Grandpa! And I brought a friend!" he called, leading Seto through the hallways and up the stairs.

There was an answering call before Yugi dragged Seto into the living room in the main part of the house. "You live with your grandfather, Mutou-kun?" the older teen asked softly, letting himself be pushed onto the couch.

Yugi smiled and nodded, sitting next to him and putting his bag on the floor. "It's just me and him. I don't see my parents much."

Seto looked to the floor. "I... I'm sorry, Mutou-kun."

"It's not that big of a deal, Kaiba-kun." The smaller boy watched him carefully for a few moments. "We didn't really get to finish our talk... and I want to ask you a question."

Long, delicate fingers folded together under Seto's chin and he leaned forward. "Sure. Ask me anything."

"Could you ever be... attracted to anyone? Or has that never happened to you?" Yugi asked softly, drumming his fingers on the couch beneath him and looking anywhere but at his friend.

"Yes."

Violet eyes flickered up to his. "Really? Recently?"

Seto made a noncommittal gesture with his hand. "Fairly." Honesty was the best policy for him, and if Yugi wanted to know how he felt about him, then he would find out.

"Who is it?" Yugi asked, his voice getting lower and more conspiratory. "Do I know them?"

Now or never, the taller teen thought with an internal sigh. "It's you, Mutou-kun."

They were both quiet for a while; Seto leaned back and crossed one leg over the other and Yugi sat with his knees drawn up against his chest. "But... Kaiba-kun... I thought you were asexual?"

Seto reached out a hand and touched Yugi's cheek, smirking when he blushed. "I don't want to have sex with you, yeah," he muttered, leaning closer. "But you're beautiful, and smart, and quite adorable."

Yugi's cheeks darkened to a fetching shade of red. "Thank you, Kaiba-kun... Maybe we could go out sometime?"

Seto dropped his hand and shook his head with a small smile. "I would love to, but what will your friends think? They all hate me, and I don't want you to lose them for me... I'm not worth it at all, I could never give you what you want- that is, if you wanted, you know, that-"

"You're rambling," Yugi said with a laugh, playfully smacking Seto's arm. "No one said I wanted sex. Even if I did, I like you too, for who you are. I know how to respect others' wishes." He shifted a little closer, tilting his head a little. "Although, I mean, if you agree, could I have a kiss?"

Blue eyes widened and Seto opened his mouth as if to speak, but Yugi had already stood and moved away. "I'm sorry, I don't know what made me ask that."

The taller student stood as well, taking both of Yugi's hands in his and holding them to his chest. "I've never kissed anyone before," he said softly, his lips barely moving. Yugi smiled at him, prying his hands out of Seto's grasp to wrap them around his neck instead and pull him closer.

"That's okay... I'll show you." Their lips met for an instant, then again, then again, before Seto responded and rested his arms around Yugi's hips and drew him closer, initiating the kiss himself. Yugi let him do what he wished, only pressing back with the slightest pressure before Seto pulled away.

"Was... Was that good?" he asked softly, looking anywhere but at Yugi.

A short laugh escaped Yugi before he could rein it in. "It was wonderful, Kaiba-kun. Thank you for moving out of your comfort zone with me."

Seto glanced at him, then away. "It was nothing. How does dinner this Friday sound?"
