You know how many people actually people go to a school dance just to dance? Well, I wasn’t one of them. -_-; And, I certainly wasn't a lucky wallflower either, like Ryou's gonna be… ^_~

DISCLAIMER: It's that Kazuki guy who owns Yu-Gi-Oh, not me.

RATED: PG. Very, very fluffy… But there can't be fluff without just a little pinch of angst.

'When is she gonna come…? Anami promised to be here…' Ryou Bakura thought as he sat against the cold, hard wall of the gym. He dejectedly glanced up at the flickering lights in the dark room. The only reason why he came to this school event was to dance with Anami, the girl whom he had a crush on since the beginning of the year.

'I was so happy when she said she'd finally dance with me. But, where is she?' Anami was everything Ryou wished he could be--popular, uninhibited, and very charismatic. He loved how her long, blond hair waved in the wind. Her smile was perfect and sparkling. Ryou thought he'd never have a chance with her, for he was so shy and unnoticed by many, though he did have a few admirers here and there. However, fate did not smile upon Ryou, because it was nearly an hour after Anami got his hopes up.

Honda moved joyously to a fast song with Yugi, Jounouchi, and Anzu.

"You keep looking over there, Honda, is something bothering you?" Anzu asked.

"No, why would you say that?" he answered, taking another glance at the far wall.

"Honda," Jounouchi intervened slyly. "Is there any particular reason why you came to this dance?"

"I'm not like most people, I just came to have fun." Honda smiled to himself. That statement was only equivocation. He did want to just let loose and move to the music. That, and Anzu begged him and the other boys to come. However his other purpose was at that same wall he was looking at--Ryou.

Lately, Honda had developed an infatuation with him. His dark eyes complimented his white hair quite nicely. His sweet face made Honda melt with admiration. And, Ryou's kindly self deeply touched Honda's heart, making him wish he didn't have such a nasty reputation to live up to.

But, sadly… Ryou loved Anami, one of the most popular and unattainable girls in the whole school. Honda wanted to be her for a day, just to know what it's like to be admired by him. And, Honda just happened to bump into his rival without intention.

"Watch it!" she sneered.

"Oh, sorry…" Honda retreated innocently.

The tall, dark-haired male returned to face his friends. But part of his attention was discreetly caught by a conversation between Anami and several muscular, good-looking guys.

"You stood him up?!"

"Of course I did. Why would you think that I would actually go with that albino pansy?!"

Honda gasped at her comment. 'Ryou likes her?!' He mentally cursed. 'She's so conceited!'

Anzu became concerned as a slow song started playing. "Are you all right?! You look like someone slapped you…"

Figuratively, Honda was slapped--by Anami's harsh words about his love interest. "It-it's nothing…" He averted his gaze to the other side. "Er… Hold on a sec. I'll be right back." He dashed away, leaving Anzu to join up with Seto. 'Ryou, you deserve much better than her…'

*****

Tears flowed down Ryou's milky face. It wasn't like the most popular girl in school would ever acknowledge him anyway. But it still hurt. For the first time, someone he really liked had actually noticed him--but it was all a joke.

"May I have this dance, sir?" a masculine voice broke Ryou's sobbing.

Ryou looked up and saw a handsome pair of brown orbs staring straight at his own. "H-Honda…?"

"Do you wanna dance with me?

"Y-you're joking…" The snowy-haired boy replied, nervously playing with the fabric of his tear-stained vest. "Guys only dance with girls…"

"It's okay, look at those guys over there," Honda pointed to Jounouchi and Yugi, clutching each other tightly, and gently swaying to the rhythm.

Ryou gasped in shock as he saw Jounouchi bend down further to kiss Yugi's forehead. Did Honda try to imply something he didn't want to talk about in public? 'N-no… he doesn't have a thing for me… Does he?'

"See? I always knew they'd get together…" Honda smiled to himself fondly. "And look over there." He then pointed to the gorgeous blonde young woman, who was having a make-out session with another male.

Ryou finally consented, taking Honda's outstretched hand. 'It's not like she'd ever be my girlfriend, anyway…'

The two young men found a spot on the floor. Honda immediately wrapped his arms around his crush's waist. Ryou, still nervous, slowly slid his hands up the taller one's cotton jacket, but they found their way around Honda's shoulders.

'I don't know whether this is a joke, or if you're just feeling sorry for me, or if you actually do like me' the quiet, chocolate-eyed boy mused, 'But this is nice. I think I like having your warm body against mine…'

'This isn't a joke, Ryou,' Honda thought as he gently rocked with his partner. 'I really do like you. I just wish I could tell you so…' He laid his head on his beloved's soft, silvery tresses. 'But for now, just let them think that we're joking around, as long as I get to be with you…'

Ryou blushed finding that his head had come in contact with the brown-haired boy's. 'Honda… you're willing to be this affectionate with me…?' With a bit more courage, he held his partner more tightly. 'I love this. You might be kidding, but let me just go to a reverie with you… Huh?' Ryou's eyes widened. 'I almost completely forgot about Anami! So… that means…'

The song neared its climax. Honda wanted to take this time to confess his feelings. He lifted Ryou's soft, creamy face by the chin. 'You may not be able to accept me…' Two pairs of deep mahogany eyes met. 'But…' Honda abruptly spun his head around, searching for spectators. "Er… Let's go somewhere else…" He took Ryou by the hand again, and the teens headed for an empty corner.

The song finished. Ryou and Honda sat down on the hard floor.

'For a second there, I thought he was going to kiss me…' Ryou took a glance at the young man who had volunteered to dance with him when his crush would not. 'Forget about Anami, Honda. I like you.'

'Ryou, that must've been humiliating for you. I'm sorry…' Honda looked up at the ceiling. 'Well, when you ask about why I did this, I'll just say it was a joke, so you won't hate me.'

"Th-thank you, Honda…" The blush appeared on Ryou's pale cheeks again. He focused on the ground, hoping to let his white hair hide the redness.

"Uh… What did you say, Ryou…?"

"Um, Honda…? Y-you won't freak out if I do this, will you…?"

The larger boy's heartbeat accelerated. "Do what…?"

Ryou bravely leaned closer to Honda, and briefly touched his lips to his cheek.

Honda stared in shock, but Ryou sweetly smirked. He touched the place where the longer haired one kissed him. "D-do you… really feel that way about me…?"

"Yes," Ryou nodded. "You made me forget all about Anami."

Honda grinned and nearly hyperventilated with joy. "I did…?"

"Mmm, hmm."

"Great! That's exactly what I wanted to do. She's no good for you, you know." Honda gently caressed Ryou's cheek. He was intrigued how his tanned skin contrasted against his love's pale face. "I'm not gonna be like her. I'll keep all my promises."

"Including the ones you made just now…?"

"…And all the other ones after that." The adolescent males embraced. Honda returned Ryou's kiss to his cheek. They didn't care what song was playing, or who watched them, as long as their bodies were close, and their relationship, strong.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahh, young love. I told you Ryou would be the lucky ones. I know the plot was crappy, but I just wanted to make fun of those movies where the beautiful, lonely girl is stood up by the hot guy, and the nerdy guy gets to go out with her, once again stating that only men have the ability to get anyone they want… -_-; I just wish that there could be shounen ai in a Disney movie… That would be cute… ^_^

Anyway, this is supposed to be a one-shot, but if you want me to continue with the other couples, then just give me a suggestion or two. Please don’t make me use any other than the ones that I featured in the story. Promise? ^_~
