BEHIND THE MASK

Chapter 2: On the clouds
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Swallowing nervously around the lump in his throat, Yugi�s eyes were fixed on the tanned hand, reached out in a formal manner. Slowly, his gaze travelled up the muscular arm to the face of the young man, who smiled brightly at the obviously younger. All the while Yugi took everything about the other in. The body heat he gave off, the tan of his hand, the muscular arms and chest covered by a black jacket, the scent that filled his nostrils. He let his mind drift farther, wondering if all of the man�s body was rock-hard like it looked, if he wore cologne or if that was his natural smell or if he would be tasty.
Mildly and far away from rational thoughts, Yugi wondered if he was gay or if it was just a temporary attraction. Blushing furiously and banishing these thoughts to the back of his mind he fixed his attention on the other�s face instead. Anything to get his mind out of the gutter. To his greatest disappointment he found that most of the stranger�s face was hidden by the stupid mask he came to hate.

Though that didn�t really matter to Yugi as the beautiful crimson eyes captivated him. Now, that he saw the lovely set of eyes in this close proximity, he couldn�t tear his own amethyst from them. Before Yugi could catch himself, he was leaning towards the other, controlled by the haze in his mind. It just seemed right to be close to the object of his attention and attraction. Besides, he loved the heat and the scent coming in waves from the man.
�Are you alright?� the crimson-eyed beauty asked Yugi, saving him obliviously from embarrassing himself by drooling.
Luckily, Yugi gained enough composure back to answer, �Oh, I�m fine. Thank you.�
�And? What do you say? Would you like to dance with me?� the rich voice questioned almost huskily, sending shivers up and down the Yugi�s back.
Deciding that nodding was much safer than voicing his answer, he let himself be pulled from the balcony back into the hall.
Yugi regretted his agreement instantly as he was gently pulled against the body of the taller man. First of all, he wasn�t a good dancer; secondly Yugi would have liked to spend more time alone with the other and thirdly he had problems keeping his hormones in check.
This whole action just seemed to scream �I will humiliate myself in front of HIM!�
Though it was way too late and he was carefully pulled to the other�s sculptured chest. In reflex, Yugi�s hands found their way to the other�s neck, holding him closely. As to be expected Yugi�s brain literally shut down. The hairs on the back of his neck rose as a warm breath cascaded over him. His blood rushed to certain areas � his cheeks! � and his heart skipped a beat, making Yugi worried that either it would spring out of his chest or that the other would hear it.
Swaying to the beat of the song, he let himself be led. Yugi prayed to god that he wouldn�t step at the man�s feet or do something else to embarrass himself. To Yugi�s surprise, he found it rather easy to follow each of the elder�s steps rather than stamping on his feet. After a few turns his tensed muscles relaxed and he began to enjoy himself. �You take what you get� Yugi told himself and if dancing only one song with this gorgeous man was all he will get, it would be enough. It had to be enough even if it sent a sour feeling to his stomach.
�It wouldn�t be that bad to stay like this forever� Yugi decided dreamily. With the man leading him, he felt as though he were like floating on clouds, rather than dancing on a hard floor. The smaller one would have loved to close his eyes and fall deeper in his illusion, taking his stranger with him, while laying his head on the other�s shoulder, but he feared that that wasn�t appropriate.
To get his mind working again, he concentrated on his dance partner. As soon as he looked up, amethyst eyes looked with crimson ones. Was it a bad thing that Yugi could hear his heart in his ears?
The taller man smiled handsomely at Yugi, making his heart flutter and his head swim. Here, dancing with a stranger, Yugi felt content. It was strange, confusing, but so so right and Yugi didn�t care.
The song came to an end and a sudden fear gripped Yugi�s heart, though he couldn�t put his finger on it. What was he afraid of? That he was attracted to a complete stranger, a guy? Probably not. Yugi knew that he found men pretty and he had no problems with Ryou and Bakura together, although he queried Ryou�s taste in men. But that was a different story.
Fear of reaction? That was most probably the reason. Besides, he didn�t know a thing about this stranger, heck! Yugi didn�t even know his name. Where did he come from? How old his he? Is he straight or gay?
�Wait! What I�m thinking about?! I haven�t even seen his face and I�m already ... wow! Keep cool Yugi. That�s way too fast. One thing after the other�
�You don�t know if he feels something for you. He just asked you to dance with him. Probably he pitied you, seeing you standing out on the balcony all alone� Yugi could feel the bitter taste of this realisation on his tongue. The truth mustn�t always be easy.

Sadly, he looked at the other, searching his eyes for any emotions, confirming his suspicion. But all he saw was, that his actions were true. Instead of sympathy he smiled, expression friendly with a hint of mischief in his pools of fire.

Stopped in his twirling motion as the taller one halted his movements, he realised that the other pairs, which he hadn�t seen until now, were already leaving the dance floor and others taking in the dancing position for the next song.
Again, he was led to the balcony where, much to Yugi�s frustration, the man dropped his hand.
�Thank you for this song, little one. May our paths cross again. I wish you a good night.� The deep voice whispered sadly, his ruby-red eyes dimmed.
For a second, Yugi pondered over the fact, but he just replied in his cheerful self �You�re very welcome. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you� Just after Yugi spoke, he realised what exactly he said and he flushed.
Smirking, the elder nodded and bowed and retreated. Yugi, alarmed by the elder�s movements was about to stop the other, but too late. The gorgeous man disappeared in the crowd. Even as Yugi sprinted after the other and searched in the mansion and the garden, the gorgeous man with the crimson eyes wasn�t found that night, leaving behind a heartbroken-Yugi.
