Chapter one- school roof

Jounouchi Katsuya walked into his last hour class 1 minute to the bell and looked around. There was 4 rows of 8 desks like always, A black bored to his right at the front of the class, and across from where he was standing a large window covering the entire wall. In the black of the room stood a group of girls talking and giggling amongst themselves. And in a desk, right in the middle of the class, sat non-other then Seto Kaiba.

It was Monday on the last week of school before Christmas brake. Most kids would be happy about school ending for Christmas but not Jou. All it meant was, torture all brake with the drunken, raving mad lunatic he called father. A hell on earth.

Jou sighed and walked to the back of the class ignoring Seto, and in turn was ignored back, and sat in his seat. Then the bell rang.

30 minutes into class Jou had no clue what-so-ever about what ever the teacher was going on about. Not that it mattered anyway. He couldn't go to collage even if he had the money to pay for it. He just stared out the window at all the little buildings and people going on about their day. Boring..

"Mr. Kat, Mr. Kaiba. You both are needed in the library." Stated the Math teacher.

Jou got up from his seat and slowly walked to the front of the class and then left barely aware of where the hell he was going in till a sharp voice snapped him back to reality.

" So, Mutt, you read?" Seto remarked smirking.

"Haha Kaiba. This mutt thing is getting old." Jou snapped glaring at the back of Kiba's head. "And yes I read." The rest of the way was silent except for random insults.

10 minutes later on the way back from the library

"I told you so. I do read." Jou said happily.

"Just because you checked out a book doesn't mean you read it." Kaiba snapped back as Jou turned left heading away from class. "Mutt, class is this way. I thought dogs had a good sense of direction."

Jou stopped and turned around. "I going to the roof. We have about 20 minutes of class left. I don't feel like going back." Jou explained turning back and walking away.

"You know they check the roof every hour for people skipping don't you?"

"Yes I know and I also know where to hide so they don't see you." Curiosity getting the better of him Seto followed.

Jou quickly ran up the stairs Seto following closely behind him. Running a little faster Jou glanced back at Seto with a confused look in his eyes.. 'Why is he following me?' Jou though as he came to a stop and opened the door to the roof.

Jou covered his eyes at the brilliant light blinding him for a second. "Well here we are... The roof.."

"And where is this great hiding place you where talking about?" Seto replied emotionlessly. A glare panted on his other wise stone cold face.

Jou slowly walked to the side of the door to where the air-conditioner stood right next to the side of the wall. He climbed on top of it then pulled himself on top of the small ledge/roof that covered the door leading to the school. (A/N: Sorry i didn't explain that vary well.. I didn't know how to really.. If you know what I am talking about and you can explain it better please e-mail me.) "See just like I said a perfect hiding place. Know one will know we are up here."

Seto sighed and climbed up sitting next to Jou. 'For once, Mutt, your right.' He thought but wouldn't say out loud.

For some reason he had a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach.. It wasn't a sick feeling.. It was more of a.. Well he just couldn't explain it.. All he knew was he never felt it before...

He looked over at Jou who was staring out into the city. His eyes not focused on anything. He looked like a painting frozen in time. He felt that if he touched it he would only feel the hard canvas with pain smeared on it instead of the soft and warm cheek.

"So Kiba.. You looking forward to brake?" Jou said slowly glancing over at him. "You get to see Mokuba non-stop for three weeks." Jou smiled, looking a lot like a puppy.

"Yeah I guess but the kid is to hipper for his own good if you ask me." Seto smiled at the though of his kid brother. "What you, Mutt?"

Jou brought his knees up under his chin. ".. No.." He murmured looking down at his feet. "How can I?"

"Why?" Seto stared at him. Emotions flashed in his eyes other wise cold eyes before being covered back up.

".. Why? ... It more like why shouldn't I? If you father was half as bad as mine you wouldn't want to go back ether." Jou snapped anger flaring up until he looked at Seto. Emotions flashed in his eyes. It looked like a mix of pity, hate, disgust, and something he couldn't place.. Sadness maybe. His anger died instantly as he stared in to his ice-blue eyes. Getting lost in the icy pools of Seto's eyes.

"Please, Puppy, tell me." Seto said in a low soothing voice he didn't even know he could make. His face slowly inching closer the Jou's.

Jou started to tremble as Seto's face came closer. 'What is he doing? Is he going to kiss me? What the hell am I going? I'm not even trying to get away.' Jou thought sliding his eyes shut.

Seto's lips brushed against Jou's. Then he pushed them together in a soft warm kiss. Seto suddenly pulled away, making Jou whimper, and looked away. Jou opened his eyes and looked down at his feet.

"I.. I'm sorry" Seto said not looking at him.. " I don't know what came over me."

Jou stayed silent while gathering his thoughts. "... No.. I. I-I mean.. Well.." Jou groaned in frustration as he tried to figure out what me meant.

Seto smirked at his reaction and put his finger to Jou's lips to shut him up. "Sh Puppy." Seto pulled him closer and looked into his honey-brown eyes. Slowly he pulled him into a soft kiss. Seto Grabbed the back of Jou's hair and tilted his head back to deepen the kiss. He nibbled on Jou's bottom lip to get an opening. Jou whimpered and opened his mouth a slightly and Seto's shot his tongue inside Jou's mouth exploring all that he could before they parted for air.

Jou's eyes were closed and he was panting lightly. Seto stared at him wondering what the hell he had just done. He didn't know what had come over him. It wasn't like him at all. Jou's eyes where still closed when the bell rang which made them both jump.

Jou jumped up from where he was sitting and jumped down to the main part of the roof. Before Seto could stop him Jou had opened the door and started running down the stairs. Seto sighed and started the follow him slowly down the stairs.

Jou jumped the last 4 steps into the school yard landing on Yami. "Eh.. Yo Yami I didn't see you there." Jou gave him a goofy smile and got up.

"That's okay Jou." Yami said and got up right as Yugi tackled him knocking him to the ground yet again.

"So where have you been Jou. You weren't at you locker after class." Yugi said in a extremely cheerful voice.

"Oh.. I had to go to the library to turn in a book.. It took a while. Heheh..." Jou said nervously scratching the top of his head.

Yami noticed Jou was acting wired but Yugi wasn't paying attention. "Oh okay... Well lets walk home then." Yugi Smiled again and frolicked away. Yami and Jou both shook their head and walked after him.
