Warnings: Chapter two and three have SHOUNEN AI. Mention of Het, if that bothers you. (Yes, I know there are people who refuse to read het. Let it never be said that shounen ai fans are above the rest of fans just becuase we're persecuted for writing what we like.) There's a (not quite) subtle jab at how gamers name their games, if you're really sensitive about that.

Summary: Yuugi is writing an email to the reader about how his life is...unsettled. ^^;;

Notes: Yeah...Someday I'll be good at long-running narratives; until then you get one-shots that are mostly pov stories. ^^;; This one is in second person. o.O I have no idea where the format for this came from. Er...yeah, if anyone has that email addy, I didn't know... ^^;;

Subject: I need to talk to someone...

I should be happy, right? I have a wonderful girlfriend, I'm not in danger of dying every other day (which is a great improvment on my life just a few months ago) and I won, in the end. So why am I not happy?

My aibou says I'm just bored since the Sennen Game is over. I think he's talking about himself more than about me; I'm happy that nobody's in danger of dying from the games anymore. I saw Kaiba-kun last week; he's doing better now that he's out of the hospital. I heard that he stopped playing entirely; I hope that's not true. He really enjoyed the game, even though he was really concerned with winning more than anything...

I mentioned how I'm feeling to Jounouchi-kun when we were playing the newest game, "Duel Dungeon Wizard Monsters Now (16th Edition)." He just asked if I'd slept with Anzu yet to make me fall over and twitch. I think he enjoys it. He did, in all fairness, tell me that if I was unhappy I should look at my life and try to figure out what's making me unhappy...even though that's what I've been doing already.

Shizuka-chan probably gave me the best advice; "If it looks like you shouldn't be unhappy and you can't figure it out, go ask someone else who feels the same way. Of course, it might help if they' ve solved their problem too..." Still, I'm not sure I want to go ask Kaiba-kun how he dealt with his feeling that something was missing from his life, especially since I know the answer already...

Anzu says that she thinks I'm worrying too much, but if it's that important, I should try as hard as possible to figure out what's wrong.

I finally went to ask Kaiba-kun about it. After running into Mokuba-kun, who took great delight in delaying me for a half hour, I finally got to hear Kaiba-kun's advice. "Don't do what I did. You'd get bored very quickly."

-_-;;

I can't ask Honda-kun, because Miho-chan mentioned she really loved one of the dresses in some really expensive store and he's been working more hours than ever before to get it for her. I can't help but feel sorry for him.

Bakura-kun's getting better again. Jounouchi-kun cheered and patted him on the back when he used "ore" instead of "boku" (the less-polite form of "I" rather than the more polite form) last week. Then he went back to using "boku" because (apparently) Jounouchi-kun freaked him out. (Jounouchi-kun has promised to throw a party when Bakura-kun finally swears for the first time. Anzu reassured Bakura- kun that this wouldn't happen, while she whapped Jounouchi-kun on the head for suggesting it. ^_^; Then they got into an argument about the fact that I use "boku" and whether he's going to try to "corrupt" me as well...I'm not sure why, but Shizuka-chan choked on her soda when Anzu talked about Jounouchi-kun "corrupting" me. What do you think?)

So now I'm still unhappy, but I have a bunch of useless advice on top of that...maybe you can help me out?
