Author's Notes: I'm gonna get flamed majorly for this one. xD Oh well, this area needs shounen-ai. And I haven't written a drabble in who knows how long...

Disclaimer: As stated in Aurora Wind - If I said 'Give me Mermaid Melody or give me death', I'd be shot.

Jealousy

---

Ryo would admit it. He was jealous of the KaitoxLucia couple.

And then people would tease him about losing to Kaito. But, no, Ryo didn't lose to Kaito. Not at all. He'd lost to Lucia.

For quite a while, he'd believed that he really did like that adorable, clueless blonde-haired girl. He didn't regret a single second of spending all that time with her. Then, one day, it hit him like a sack of bricks.

He didn't like Lucia at all! He'd spent all that time with her to make her hopefully fall for him, yes, but think of it the way he thought of it...if Lucia fell for Ryo, she'd leave Kaito alone. His precious, sweet Kaito would be heartbroken and alone. And then Ryo would enter the picture and pick up the pieces of that heart. The only one left broken would be Lucia...and Ryo didn't care about her feelings!

Yes, Ryo loved Kaito. But then, who wouldn't? Scruffy orange locks, charm, and so much more. Ryo was obsessed with him. He adored him so much; he'd even let Kaito play seme if he wanted to! And that was something major, because all of Ryo's previous bed partners will tell you, they had no choice but to play uke...

When it hit him, he'd been in complete denial. He told himself that it was just an aftereffect of being dumped by Lucia. Slight hallucination and insanity. Bless the day he finally accepted himself for who he was; he was homosexual. Screw everyone who didn't like it. And he accepted that he had a crush on Kaito. And he accepted that Kaito was straight. And he accepted that the most he could do was watch from the sidelines while that wretched girl graced his holy bedsheets.

Yes, Ryo was jealous of the KaitoxLucia couple.

But he wasn't jealous of Kaito; he was jealous of Lucia.

And don't you forget it.

-Giggle.- Writing shounen-ai makes me so hyper and happy...especially if it's an enemy pairing. R&R, please?
