"Yusei?" Jack called down the stairs that led into the dim garage, his purple eyes flickering back and forth to see if he could catch any movement that might instigate that his raven haired friend might be down there.
There was no answer but Jack knew that Yusei wasn't one much for talking and could get pretty occupied with his duel runner. With a sigh, he hadn't even been the one that had been looking for Yusei in the first place, Jack began down the stairs. Stupid Akiza, needing to have an important talk with Yusei and all that. Couldn't she send one of the annoying little twins instead?
Jack's shoes met the concrete with a small scraping sound and he noticed the lights were off. Strange, he thought, Yusei was almost always down here in his spare time. The lights took a second to finally flicker on dimly when Jack flipped the switch and he glanced across the room for Yusei.
He blinked, slightly surprised when he found Yusei, sleeping on the worn out couch over against the wall. The raven haired boy still had that calm, collected look on his face, even when sleeping.
Jack stared at him from across the room for a moment, feeling an overwhelming squeeze in his chest. Memories flooded back from when Yusei and he had still run in a gang. When Kalin was still around and still pretending to be our friend. Jack added bitterly before stepping forward, walking across the dirty concrete towards Yusei.
On the small table next to the couch, a picture frame sat with an old photo of the old gang. Crow, Kalin, Yusei and Jack, the whole crew smiling and looking as though nothing could ever break them apart. Foolish. Jack frowned, grabbing up the picture frame then slamming it back down onto the table, face down.
"I'll never forgive you." Jack muttered quietly, thinking about Kalin. Betrayal, pain, anger. They were all emotions Jack felt smother him whenever Kalin came to mind. The fact that he was trying to hurt Yusei made him the most angry but the fact that he had succeeded brought fear and worry on in a crazy wave of emotions that made Jack have the need to sit down.
Yusei shifted, rolling his shoulders slightly while letting a sleepy sigh escape his lips. Jack frowned heavily, thinking back on the day that Yusei got hurt. All the panic that had bubbled up into his throat when he watched the bike lose control and Yusei roll across the ground at more than just a couple miles per hour. The former friend and current maniac still laughing while Yusei laid still on the ground.
Jack couldn't help his want, no, his NEED to see the scar. To see the kind of pain Yusei had to go through because of Kalin. Jack WANTED to hate Kalin, for everything, he wanted to feel disgust and loathing whenever Kalin's name even flickered across his mind. So he would never have to watch Yusei get hurt. And he would never have to feel the same kind of helplessness again.
He found his hand was already pushing up Yusei's thin shirt. No stopping now.
The scar was long, and a bit jagged but it wasn't ugly. No matter how much Jack wished he could call it disgusting, it wasn't. The skin that formed the scar was a darker color than Yusei's normal skin and Jack couldn't help but trail his fingers along it. Smooth.
"Mm..." Yusei turned his head to the side slightly in response to Jack running his fingers across his torso but didn't awake. The blonde couldn't believe that Kalin had left this permanent mark on Yusei's body. It was a scar that would probably follow Yusei close to forever. Some part of Jack was disgusted that someone would even think of wanting to scar another person in such a way but the other part enviously wished that he had been the one. The one to leave such a blow on the raven haired, dueling champion, so he could never forget him.
He hated that part of himself. It was wrong to want to hurt Yusei, just so he wouldn't forget Jack. But at the same time...Jack thought silently as he leaned down to place a kiss on the scar, it was normal to want such a thing.
It was normal to want the person that you loved to never forget you. And someday, Jack decided, pulling Yusei's shirt back down, I'll tell you the right way. I won't stoop as low as Kalin. And I'll do the right thing. Jack nodded to himself as he turned back off the light, beginning back up the steps, I'll wait for your answer.
