Rating: PG

Warnings: Chapter two and three have SHOUNEN AI. Mention of Het, if that bothers you.

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... ^^;;

I take shots at myself in this chapter. ^^;; Go me. I also shamelessly self-promote, but that's something else again. (The longest paragraph in this chapter, actually...) "She's" not a fag-hag, btw. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

What do you mean "it's about time?" ^_^; I talked to Jounouchi-kun yesterday. I think it probably would have gone better if Shizuka-chan hadn't been there to add things between every sentence either one of us spoke. As it was, Jounouchi-kun and I ended up blushing and stammering too much to talk to each other. (I think she did it on purpose.)

Anzu is mad at me now...but I didn't even do anything, other than talk to Jounouchi-kun about he feels about me.

I made Anzu cry.

But then. Then, she slapped me and said I was her second choice anyway. She was just upset; she apologized later and said that she'd heard something that wasn't true. That was when she told me she " needs some time." I don't know what's happening to my life.

I finally got desparate enough to go talk to Kaiba-kun for advice. He rolled his eyes at me and said that there are rumours all over the place about Jounouchi-kun and me. Where did they come from? I don't really understand what Kaiba-kun said, something about something called "real people slash" and fanfiction.net . That's about the time I left, because he was getting really strange at that point. (Something about a fic called "Bondage Games" and how it was "interesting.")

What's this "real people slash" stuff? Why would it start rumors? Why is Anzu mad at me? And why is someone reading over my shoulder...?

BRB

Okay. I just had a very long talk with my aibou, along with a trip to fanfiction.net to see exactly what "real people slash" is. Basically, it's guy/guy or girl/girl fiction about real people. (Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have a cult following.) There's a lot of it out there for me. And for my aibou. With Jounouchi-kun and Kaiba-kun and Malik (not all at the same time, though it's been suggested. o.O ) There are even sites for it like http://monogatari.topcities.com/yuugioh.html and http://www.angelfire.com/realm/yugilove/. Aibou says the webmasters are just weird yaoi freaks who have way too much time on their hands.

Aibou also said something along the lines of "go for Jounouchi." I asked why and he said that it might be what I'm missing, and even if it's not, I/he/we could get some emotional support in our time of crisis. (I think my aibou has acutally liked Jounouchi-kun from the start. At least we agree on that.)

So. I have to somehow salvage my life, which will probalby mean turn everything upside down. o.O

Thanks for your advice. I think I'll be able to settle things soon.
