AN: This story is my first attempt at Jou and Kaiba so please be kind. Also I got this idea after watching a speacial on the health discover channel about Hypothermia and thought what if Jou had been in it, but then he'd have to have a reason. I could see Jou in my mind clearly running in fear and Seto concern shielded in his eyes. So yeah this is my attempt of a Jou/Kaiba couple.

Disclaimer: Own it this one I doesn't. Money makes none of it I don't. (trying to sound like yoda C:)

I have one on AFF so I am editing a version suitable for Fanfiction, this one is still rated M for violence and adult themes though.

Snow

Pairings: Seto/Jou

Jou had a great day over at Yugi's game shop. They had all celebrated Jou's seventeenth birthday. It was a grande celebration... at least to Jou. It made him feel great that he had so many friends that thought about him and worried for him. Ryou Bakura and Marik sat right next to him handing him a small box for a present. Jou looked at it and then back up at the glint in Marik's eyes. "Okay what are you planning."

Marik looked at Jou innocently, "Why would you even ask me that. I'm a friend and wouldn't do anything to hurt you."

"Oh no of course not..." Jou stated with a bit of sarcasm in his voice. He opened the box his face turning bright red and tried to hide, Marik's gift, Ryou had been too quick and held it up with a blush on his face as well. It was underwear that looked like an elephant in the front, the elephants trunk stuck out and that's where a cock would go. Everyone was laughing and Jou through the undies at Marik telling him to keep it. There rest of the evening went great with Jou being teased a few times.

He was humming to himself as he entered his small house, he sure was glad to be out of the cold. It had even began to snow. He waved good bye to Marik and Ryou who had given him a ride. He was glad to get inside and take off his shoes, he kept his jacket on as he was still a bit chilly. He walked into the kitchen putting a piece of cake he had saved for his father in the fridge. He heard swearing upstairs and thought his father had tripped on something. But it was rare when his father cursed. Jou spun around speaking loudly. "Hey Dad ya okay, the party was great!" He thought his father would smile at him but his father had a scowl on his face. Jou's fathers face was a kind of red color and then purple with rage in an instant. "I uh saved you some cake..."

"That's...That's sick!" Mr. Katsuya said when he was calm enough to speak, his hands curled into fists as he looked at his son. "How can you look at that, HOW DARE YOU HAVE IT IN MY HOUSE!" He bellowed looking at Jou, who had actually stepped in the corner looking at his father in fear, it was the first time Mr. Katsuya had been this angry with his son. Jou looked up at his father and then back on the floor, hoping his father's temper would go away. He never had meant his father to find it. It just happened that he forgot to take it out of his backpack and hide it. His father must of found it looking for Jou's test's scores. His father was always nosy about his stuff. "Are you going to answer me?" His voice grew low and dangerous. "Are you really a poof? A fruit? A nancyboy? A fudgepacker, A abomination to God!"

Jou gulped. "Father, please I'll throw it away, I mean it's not tha' big of a deal right?"

"NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL?" Mr. Katsuya asked raising the magazine labeled 'Same Love' it was a magazine dealing with issues around the lgbt community and even had uplifting stories on it. On the front cover was two men without shirts kissing. His father shook the magazine in front of him his face livid. "A man shall not lie with another man as with a woman. Its WRONG, ABOMINATION, UNHOLY!" His father was enraged, how could his son not see the unholy damnation? It would lead Jou into hell. Mr. Katsuya took a few deep breaths, well it might not be too late. "Do your friends now you read this shit?"

Jou shook his head, he had been to afraid to talk to anyone about this. But he was certain that Yugi and Mokuba were that way. Marik and Ryou had started hanging out more then normal last week so maybe they were an item as well. Yugi had even had a sleepover alone with Mokuba. Jou had never asked them though as he was to afraid what would happen if he was wrong. He took a deep breath. "Father I'm sorry I'll throw it out... okay?"

Mr. Katsuya started to rip the magazine into tiny bit's throwing them into the fire place. "How dare you even bring this into my house! Tell me Jou have you done it? Have you been with a man."

Jou's face burned a bright crimson, how could his father even be asking him this kind of thing? It was horrid. He never wanted to have a talk about anything relating to sex with his dad. "Um, I'm still a virgin."

"That's not what I asked!" Mr. Katsuya stated watching the magazine burn. "Did you engage in anything immoral at all with a man?"

"What if I was with a woman... would you be yelling at me then?"

Mr. Katsuya back handed Jou hard, sending the seventeen year old flat on his ass. Jou was thankful that he'd never been caught before and made a mental note to get rid of his gay porn that he had hidden under his mattress. "No, it is a sin and you would be punished, but it's not an unforgivable abomination and you have the audacity to bring this shit and porn... disgusting immoral images of abominations that are going to burn in hell.. into my house! Did you do anything immoral with a man..."

"Why are you asking," Jou asked jumping to his feet, he was scared of his fathers' anger, but he was more angry at his father for over reacting and asking him this kind of personal crap. "Fine I've had oral sex with a few guys and kissed that was about it and if your gon-"

WHAM! Jou gasped as the air was taken from him by a punch in the gut. His father was breathing heavily in anger and had Jou pinned against the wall. Jou looked at his father surprised to see that his eyes had grown distant as if he wasn't really seeing Jou. "I have to save you! And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell, And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matthew 5:29-30. You will go to hell, unless I cut it off, its offending you..."

Jou's eyes went wide with realization when he saw his father grabbing a knife, honestly how sick was his father! He was hurt by what his father was saying. In all his life his father never abused him our hurt him and now he was talking about mutilating his own son for god? Jou had nothing against Christians as a whole, he used to think that God was good for his father to believe in. But not like this! Jou hated people who took things too literally and used religion as an excuse to hate. "Dad, I'm sorry okay... "

Mr. Katsuya kissed Jou on the forehand, "I know son, I know, so am I don't worry once its gone, you'll be saved. You'll be going to heaven. You won't have those sick thoughts anymore. I'm doing it to save your soul Jou, because you are my son and I love you."

"No Dad..." Jou was rewarded with a punch in the face. His father grabbed Jou's pants yanking them down, Jou fought hard. The two wrestling around the floor with that knife in his Dad's arms. Jou was fueled by adrenaline, and finally managed to get away from his father. He sure as hell wasn't going to wait for his father to stand back up, with that weapon. Joey pulled his pants back on running barefoot out the door and into the snow storm.

Jou didn't know how long he had been running, and had to stop behind a grocery store to catch his breath. There was no one out driving, no one walking, which was a testament to how cold it truly was, and how bad the snow storm was becoming. The wind had already begun to pick up. Jou was shaking and his side hurt. He wondered if he should go to the emergency room seeng the bruise on his ribs and the blood on his left arm where he had been stabbed. Jou was just thankful that it was his arm and not... Jou could feel hot tears in his eyes as he dug in his jacket for his bandana, he used it to tie around the wound, hopefully putting enough pressure on it. He put his jacket back on shaking, his feet freezing.

What could he do know? The snow was falling at a quickened pace and the wind was howling. All he could see was white, he squinted hard turning and walking to the left. He cursed when he had hit a wall. How was he too know that it would turn from a snow storm to a blizzard in mere minutes? Well his father would be pleased... or maybe not. Jou would still have his manhood so that meant he was going to hell right? Jou shook his head as he continued to walk on in this storm. He kept walking hoping he could find his way to a hospital, didn't look likely. He had no idea where he was going, how far he was walking, what was in front of him. Indeed he had hit another building a few minutes ago... or was it an hour ago? Jou strained his mind wondering why he was out here, what was going on? But at least he wasn't cold anymore. He had stopped shaking, and he wasn't breathing as fast as he was before.

"In faeep." Jou stated walking a few more steps and falling to the ground. He was so tired, what would be wrong with closing his eyes and just going to sleep for awhile? Just a little. Was it morning? Where was he? Goodnight... He didn't here the man calling him a stupid Mutt.

Seto Kaiba had heard his security had been breached, someone had entered his yard. Seto wondered who would be stupid enough to even be out in a blizzard. He used Malcom and Terrence two security dogs which led him to the intruder, he couldn't even see the dummy. He and Mokuba who insisted on helping picked up the stranger and brought him into the house. Seto fully ready with an arsenal of threats, when he saw that it was Jounouchi Katsuya... "Stupid Mutt! Mokuba get some bottles and fill them up with hot water..." Seto said quickly. He could see how pale Jou's feet was, his ears looked no better, Jou was breathing so very shallow, Seto was sure he was going to die. "Don't you dare die on me mutt!"

Fin for now
