(ooc: August 29th. Evening. Joey/Mai thread.)
Mai was nervous as she stood waiting for Joey. It had only been a couple of days since they'd run into the possessed Duke and it had shook them all. They'd thought they'd no longer had to worry about enemies from their past controlling people with the Millennium Items or Orichalchos. It seemed most of the Millennium Items were here as far as she knew finding new owners. Yugi still had the puzzle and she had the necklace. Serenity had gained the scale and Tristan had the key. That still left three items out there. And those were the three that had down some of the worst damage. She'd seen what Pegasus had done with thee back in Duelist Kingdom and what Marik and his darker half had done with the Millennium Rod in Battle City. She hadn't met Bakura's other half personally but the Millennium Ring as far as she knew was still with Mike before some of them had come to form this army. So there was still the rod and eye unaccounted for.
She'd left a note for him hoping he'd show up if not she'd have her answer.
Joey,
I've faced the darkness in the Orichalos and the Shadow Realm and the darkness in my heart. But I'm tired, Joey. Every time I think we grow closer you pull away from me again. Or something else happens. I know we're friends but it's not enough anymore. I think I've had feelings for you since Duelist Kingdom. I need to know. Do you feel the same way? Is there a chance we could be more? Because if not then I need some space. I don't know if I can be around you and not hold you in my arms, and kiss you. And have you hold me. I've denied it for so long not wanting to risk our friendship. But twice I've nearly lost myself to the darkness. And now with Duke possessed by Nezbitt it made me realize anything could happen. And I can't deny it any longer.
I hope you come find me. So we can give this a chance. I know we may make mistakes and fight. All couples do. But I'm won't back down without a fight and I hope you'll do the same. Unless you don't feel the same about me and I was just believing in a fantasy.
Mai.
As she paused and waited the minutes felt like hours as she gazed out the window singing a song she'd once heard in a movie she'd seen recently.
"I've always dreamed that my life could be. Like a fairy tale. A perfect fantasy. But it was nothing more than a dream." sang Mai.
She paused hearing footsteps as she wiped the tears from her eyes and from a moment had hope. Was Joey about to walk through that door? Or was she going to spend the rest of her life alone as she felt?
