Disclaimer: I own nothing! I make no money on this. Really wish I did though it would be an awesome job XD

A/N: So I was watching Amnesia one day while I was writing my other Yugi-oh fanfic (Love is an Open Door) and I kept making Honda react to things happening in an overly protective/darker way and as I watched Amnesia (awesome anime by the way) I realized he was reacting like Toma. So this fic is based off of things that happen with Toma and the heroine.

Oh and it's also set sometime after highschool. Everyone has jobs and lives outside of card games lol.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It all happened so quickly… one minute he was standing there about to cross the street the next minute he was being pulled back and everything suddenly went dark… what happened? Well perhaps we should start a bit earlier that same day….

"Puppy…" Kaiba tried to calm the blond down by placing his hands on the other's forearms. Katsuya wrenched away from him, his anger only fueled by the act.

"Stop calling me a dog damn it! I'm your lover not your pet!" He spat glaring at the CEO.

"Can't you be both?" Seto asked with a playful smirk but Jou was in no mood!

"Go to Hell Kaiba!" He stormed out of the brunette's bedroom, nearly knocking over the raven haired teen in the hall. Said raven haired teen watched as Jou stomped down the stairs and slammed the door behind him.

"What did you do this time, brother?" Mokuba asked as he entered the room.

"I'm not sure myself." The CEO gave a small chuckle. "I think he's just in a foul mood this morning… he's been working a lot lately and all I did was ask him to take a few days off to rest… then he started shouting as usual..." He sighed running his fingers through chestnut hair. Mokuba frowned.

"You know work is a touchy subject for him… why do you have to push his buttons all the time?" The younger Kaiba nearly whined.

"Because its fun." The elder smirked devilishly. His brother shook his head. "It's nothing new… give it a week or so and he'll forget all about it." He laid back on the bed he had been sitting on.

It was true though, Kaiba knew he shouldn't have brought up the Puppy's work. He had made that mistake before and it blew up in his face much more fantastically than it did this time. For some reason Jou was rather attached to his work, and his apartment. No matter how Seto had reasoned, these were two things the blond simply would not give up, stating that the apartment was the first and only thing that was genuinely his, having nothing to do with his either of his parents, the job was what kept the apartment so he couldn't give that up either.

The only problem with his job that Seto had was… everything about it… his Puppy worked at small café… you know the ones… where you walk in and everyone calls you 'master' or 'mistress'… the CEO hated that his Puppy called other people, complete strangers, master… not to mention all the people that would flirt with him during his shifts… it was because of this jealous streak that Puppy's job had become a touchy subject between them.

Katsuya knew Seto didn't like him working there but the blond rather enjoyed it. Not necessarily all the flirting and ass grabbing that happened but he liked the people he worked with and worked for. He also didn't like when his boyfriend tried to control is life… so even though he understood where the CEO was coming from, he could never bring himself to admit it and quit.

"Damn it! Why does he have to be right all the damn time!?" Katsuya walked along the sidewalk in town. He wasn't really going to any place in particular and didn't care that he was still stomping, huffing and hugging himself. Wait… why was he hugging himself? A chill ran down his spine. Oh, yes, that's why… He was cold.

It wasn't a very cold day… nor was it hot.. it was actually rather nice, one of those days that you go out and have a picnic and enjoy the company of your friends, family… boyfriends that would rather spend their time making out with you and feeling you up instead of eating the picnic food before the ants get to it….

Jou gave a small chuckle. Kaiba really did act like that sometimes… then they had days like today where the CEO acted like he knew everything about Jou's life and how it should be run! The blond shook his head, trying to dislodge the thought from his skull. The only thing that it seemed to do though was make him extremely dizzy… he stumbled forward and caught the lamp post by the street.

The blond looked up and saw an icecream vender just across the way. Realizing, just then, that he had been sweating this whole time and his innards felt like they were on fire, he smiled and took a step forward to go enjoy a nice cold dairy treat.

The sound of a car horn filled his ears and as his head turned towards the noise he felt a hand on his own, pulling him back to the sidewalk. Jou felt dizzy again and this time he couldn't keep his eyes open. The hand that was holding his, had loosened its grasp. He could hear someone in the distance calling him, and he knew the voice was familiar, he just couldn't place it.

Katsuya felt some kind of pressure on his head, his back and side felt chilled, like when you lay on a tiled floor on a hot day. That's when the voice stopped… that's when everything stopped.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jounouchi woke up the next morning in a hospital bed, his head pounding and his elbow bruised. He groaned as he tried to sit up but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't move too quickly, you'll hurt yourself." That familiar voice said softly.

"Ugh…" Jou sat up slowly and held his head. "What happened? My head feels like its been split in two.." He touched the bandaged on his head and followed it to the side, wincing with a small hiss at the sore spot on the side of his head.

"I dunno, you just collapsed." The familiar voice answered. "You seemed like you had a fever, are you ok?" Jou blinked a few times and squinted to clear his vision and get a good look at this person who's voice he recognized so well.

"Honda?" Katsuya looked surprised to see his friend. "What am I doing here?" He questioned again looking around at the hospital room.

"Like I said… you collapsed, had a fever, hit your head…" Honda gave him a worried look. "Hang on, I'll get the doctor and see if we can't get you checked out." The brunette stood and left the room.

I hit my head? Jou questioned in thought. What was I doing? He tried to remember but just couldn't quite seem to recall the day before.

Honda returned with a doctor who asked Jou some simple questions, what his name was, the year, and if he had someone that could take care of him while he recovered. Jou bit his lip at this last question and looked down. Do I have someone that will take care of me? I feel like I do… but… I don't remember… his brow furrowed as he concentrated.

"Me." Honda quickly chimed. "I'll take care of him." He smiled at Jou, who beamed back at him.

The doctor released Jounouchi into Honda's care and soon they were outside of the hospital. It was then that Katsuya noticed something.

"My phone…" He felt around his pockets and jacket for the missing device.

"Oh um…" Honda held up the scratched and scuffed cell. "It broke when you fell. I was gonna get it replaced tonight." He told him and shoved the phone back in his pocket.

"Oh… you don't have to—"

"But first let's get you home." Hiroto waved down a taxi for them.

The ride was quiet. Jou silently struggled to recall events in his life but nothing seemed right… He frowned and sighed, leaning his head against the window. I can't remember… He glanced over at Honda who was attempting to call someone.

At least Honda is here… I remember him… but I can't help but feel like there's something else… or there's supposed to be something us between us… do… do I like Honda? Are we dating or something? Jou had officially spaced out, his eyes were distant as he searched his mind for the answers.

Honda gave him a worried look and sighed gently before returning to his conversation.

"Yeah, we just got out of the hospital… I'm bringing him home now…"

"What happened? Was Kaiba there?" Yugi asked on the other end.

"No, he was by himself. Its just like I told you yesterday. I just happened to see him coming home from the store and he was just walking into the road! I grabbed him and stopped him before he was hit by a car and he just collapsed. His head took a nasty hit to the curb though and he seems a little out of it…"

"Well that's understandable… Have you called Kaiba yet?" The smaller duelist asked with concern.

"No… I'll call him later… Hey why don't you swing by and have dinner with us? Maybe that'll help him feel better." Honda smiled at Jou who seemed to snap back to reality. "Ok, I'll see you then, bye" He hung up.

"Who was that?" Katsuya cocked his head to the side.

"Yugi, he's going to come over for dinner. Hope you don't mind, but he's really worried about you.." Honda gave a sheepish smile.

Jou just nodded and got out of the taxi when it had stopped. He stared up at the apartment complex. It seemed familiar but he wasn't sure which one was his. Honda headed up the stairs so Jou followed silently behind him. The brunette stopped at a door with the numbers 520 on the door. He looked at Jou for a moment before he took out a key and unlocked the door.

He has keys to my apartment? Well I guess that would make sense if we're going out… but still… feels kinda weird…

Once the two were inside, Jou closed the door, quietly behind them. The blond leaned back on the door and sighed lightly. He felt his heart skip a beat when he heard and felt to hands rest on the door on either side of his head. He looked up to see Honda looking down at him with a slight scowl on his face.

"Tell me the truth… are you alright? They said you might have some amnesia from hitting your head so hard but… you know who I am right?"

Talk about hitting the nail on the head… "Yeah of course I know who you are Honda…" Jou tried to smile but ended up biting his lip and furrowing his brow under the intense stare of those chocolate brown eyes.

"It's just…" Katsuya stopped and thought about how to describe it. Honda's expression was full of worry for Jou and it made him hesitate as pain his chest rose.

"Just what?" The brunette asked quietly and found himself running his fingers through blond locks.

"Just…" He continued, leaning into the touch. "Everything's… kinda fuzzy…"

"Fuzzy?" Honda quirked an eyebrow at the word.

"Yeah… like everything is jumbled… I can remember doing things but I can't remember who I did them with… I remember this apartment but I couldn't recall which one was mine… I couldn't even tell you when I got the place!" Jou groaned and let his head fall onto Honda's shoulder. The other man stiffened a bit looking down at him.

"What.. um… what kind of things do you remember?" Hiroto asked tentatively wrapping an arm around the thin man currently clinging to his chest.

"Lots of things… you, Yugi, Yami, being in high school… dad…" Jou's voice trembled slightly. He shook his head and cleared his throat before continuing.

"I remember living here… but it feels like I haven't lived here in a long time…" Katsuya looked over Honda's shoulder to see the living room of his studio apartment. In one corner there was a small bed, across from it a dresser, closer to the kitchen was a small, love seat couch, in front of which was a coffee table.

"Well why don't we get you something to eat and we'll see if we can straighten out that brain of yours." Honda smiled with a light chuckle which elicited a small giggle from the blond.

The two sat and ate some sandwiches Hiroto made for lunch. The brunette watched the hazel eyed man carefully as he explained his current living situation, leaving out one, little, detail…. That he was in a relationship with Seto Kaiba…

You see, our dear Honda was desperately in love with the golden puppy and had tried to win him over on more than one occasion. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to Hiroto, to step in and take the role of lover away from the cold, heartless, clutches of the elder Kaiba.

The CEO simply was no good for Jou… according to Honda anyway… he still, even though they were in a relationship, even though they were lovers, he still called Jounouchi a dog everyday… Honda couldn't stand it.. what's more was that the icy dragon's little fan girls hated the blond because he was with Kaiba! They were constantly after him, threatening him, trying to hurt him… succeeding a few times.. Hiroto wouldn't put this whole amnesia thing passed them either…

Probably drugged him so he'd fall in the street and get hit by that car… Honda glared down at his tea.

"Honda?" Jou asked noticing the tense aura coming from his friend.

"Oh, it's nothing!" He laughed nervously. "Just thinking… tomorrow we should go to your work and ask them for a few days off; give you some time to recover…"

"Okay." Jou nodded in agreement and looked down at his own cup with a sigh. "I'm sorry for being such a bother…"

"What? No! You're not a bother! You're sick—or—hurt or both! It's not something you can help ya know? So don't worry about it." Honda smiled sweetly at him. "I'm here for you whenever you need me."

"Thanks…" Jou blushed and smiled back at him. "You're really sweet Honda." He stared a bit dreamily into his chocolate eyes for a moment. Then Honda cleared his throat, effectively ruining his dreamy eyed stare.

"So um, what do you want for dinner tonight? Yugi's coming over and your fridge is pretty barren." The brunette rubbed the back of his neck. "So I should go do some shopping soon if we want to make something.."

Jounouchi thought about this for a moment. Curry came to mind but he couldn't remember if Honda and Yugi liked curry… The blond scrunched his nose trying to think of something they could all share.

What's Honda's favorite food? He deserves at least that for everything he's done for me… Jou looked up to stare at the brunette in front of him intensely. Honda's favorite food… I should know this… he's obviously my boyfriend right? Concentrate Katsuya what is your boyfriend's favorite food?

Honda watched as his friend stared at him with a fiercely stern look on his features. The look soon turned into a state of confusion with a muffled whimper. Then finally the brunette's lips curved upward in loving amusement when Katsuya's forehead met the coffee table, his fingers tangling in unruly gold tresses.

"We can always just order take out you know?" Hiroto reached out and moved some hair out of Jou's face.

Jou's cheeks flushed again, looking up at Honda with a pouty lip. Honda's hand, with mind and intent all its own, trailed his fingers down Jounouchi's cheek to the jawline, stopping at the chin to run his thumb over Katsuya's slightly parted lips. The warm breath that tickled his finger sent shivers down is spine…

Honda's breath hitched and he looked up at Jou who seemed to be enjoying himself. His cheeks were red and his eyes… Honda thought that look would never befall anyone but Kaiba… The brunette slowly pulled himself away. It was the gentlemanly thing to do, after all… and he was getting too worked up…

"I—uh.. I should go get some drinks anyway… you're just about out." Honda got up and headed towards the door.

"Um.. Ok?" Jounouchi blinked after him in confusion. "Should I stay here or-?"

"Yeah. You stay here and I'll get the drinks and your mail and be right back." The other man called to him as he walked out the door.

Jou sighed, feeling a bit lonely. It wasn't that he really wanted to go with him, he just didn't really want to be by himself in this apartment… His eyes wondered around the room until they fell on a calendar. Katsuya stood and walked to the wall it was hanging on to take a closer look.

"Café?" He cocked his head to the side in question. "Honda said I worked at a café… I guess this is my work schedule then?" He looked at all the dates marked 'café' on his calendar. "I work there a lot…" he grimaced as he noticed that the majority of the boxes had that word somewhere on it.

"It's no wonder I collapsed, my boss is a slave driver…" He sighed. "What's this?" He noticed something written in red and circled. "Kaiba at the hotel?!" Jou's face turned scarlet.

"What?! Why would I be meeting Kaiba at a hotel?! Am I cheating on Honda with Moneybags?! No… no. that can't be right… I'm not that kind of person right? I wouldn't do something like that…but if that's not it…." He stared at the red markings inside the squared off date. "Why?"

Katsuya froze when he heard the door open and someone step inside.

"What are you doing?" Honda asked abruptly. Jou turned to see a stern look on the brunette's face.

"I-I was just checking my schedule for the week.." He stated nervously. What was that look about? Does he know about whatever is going on with me and Kaiba? Should I ask him about it? Jou sat down on the couch this time and watched, absently, as Honda nodded and put the drinks in the kitchen.

"So where should we order dinner from?" He asked pulling out take out menus from a drawer and handing them to the blond. "We should decide what to get before Yugi and Yami get here." He explained. "That way we're not all hovering over the same menu."

"Oh that's right, Yami and Bakura have their own bodies now huh?" Jou took the menus and started looking them over. "Though I don't remember how they got their own bodies."

"Trust me, if you did remember you still wouldn't understand it… it made absolutely no sense to me…" Hiroto laughed reassuring Jou.

"hmmm… How about this one?" Jou handed Honda a menu. The brunette tried to restrain the grimace that threatened to appear on his face as the blond presented him the menu.

"Why this one?" Honda asked looking through it. Please don't say it's because it was the first place you and Kaiba ate after the first time you had sex…. His gut wrenched at the thought. It was Jou's favorite place to eat specifically for that reason… and he had never been very shy about telling his friends this..

"I dunno… I think I remember them having really yummy curry." He giggled. Honda found himself letting go of a breath he didn't know he had been holding.

"Ok. Let's see…" He scanned the menu and soon decided on what he would order. "I guess all that's left to do now is wait for Yugi…" He leaned back on the couch next to Jou.

The blond bit his lip as hazel orbs trailed their way down from a chiseled chin, to broad shoulders, down a muscular chest, lower, to tight but not quite formed abs. Katsuya gulped and his cheeks turned pink as his eyes grazed over the zipper of Honda's pants, quickly moving to his thighs. He found himself wanting to sit in that lap… Jounouchi knew he was not a virgin… that much he could remember… but he was unable to place a face to his lover. Honestly it was bit unnerving, not being able to remember who you slept with… He assumed that it was Honda and that thought made him feel a bit better…

With everything that he's done for me in the last few days… it has to be him right? He has a key to my apartment… knows everything about me… and I feel like I should know everything about him… Jou felt sleepy all of a sudden and without much thought laid down on the couch, resting his head in the brunette's lap.

Honda watched quietly as Katsuya's eyelids seemed to get heavy. He thought about moving or telling him go lay on the bed but by the time he would have made a decision it was too late… the blond was already asleep, head resting on his thigh… the brunette sighed gently and smiled, running his fingers through Jou's hair.

This is how it was supposed to be… we were supposed to be together… Honda looked at the calendar and glared at the red ink. I'll keep you safe this time… I couldn't protect you then… but I can now..
