Summary: Katsuya Jonouchi is in pain. His lover, Seto Kaiba, has been killed in a fire. Now what's left of Kaiba Corp will crumble if Seto does not show up to a meeting in a week. Jonouchi tries something drastic. He disguises himself as none other than Seto. But what he didn't expect was the problem of Mokuba who Jou has fallen in love with or his newfound dedication to his new family and company. But when the time comes will Jou want to go back to an abusive father? And will he ever tell Mokuba the truth?

Okay, there are a heck of a lot of flashbacks. They're all in italics. Which is why we see some Jou/Seto action.

Katsuya Jonouchi stopped in front of the burned out husk that was once a building. It was once Kaiba Corp but not any longer. His brown eyes traced the outline of it. His lover, Seto Kaiba, had perished in that fire. He remembered watching the empty seat in front of him in class. Kaiba was almost always in class. But since his dad didn't really believe in the news he never knew. A week had gone by before he had asked Yugi's grandfather for a lift to Kaiba Corp. He couldn't believe he'd never hear the voice of his dragon again. He didn't want to believe it.

Jou felt horrible. He remembered his last conversation with Seto. It hadn't been the best.

"Jonouchi! I can't sit around all day," Seto turned angrily as Jonouchi stroked his face. Now eighteen he had finally caught up to his lover in height. Jonouchi liked being able to look him in the eyes.

"Seto, can't you take just one day off for me?" Jonouchi pleaded and the cold blue eyes melted as Jonouchi leaned forward and kissed Seto softly. The kissed deepened as his tongue slid slowly into his lover's mouth.

"Jou, I hate it when you do this," Seto breathed heavily after he broke from his lover. "I can't stay, my company needs me today."

"Let them be for a day." Jonouchi groaned as he pulled off his shirt and beckoned his dragon close to him.

"Katsuya! I need to be there. Will you quit being so selfish just this once?"

Jonouchi looked up, shocked. Seto never used his first name except when in a rage. Few people even knew his first name.

Seto turned away from Jonouchi. He started to walk, not even hearing when Jou called his name.

Jonouchi sat down on the ground in front of the once building. He let his head fall into his hands, crying for his lost lover.

"Jou?" He heard Yugi's voice behind him but he didn't answer. "Are you going to be alright?"

"Yeah Yuge, go on home with Yami. I'll call fer a ride." Jonouchi heard the car doors shut and was realized when he heard the tires roll across the ground.

'Seto can't be dead. He just can't be. Somehow he's alive.' Jonouchi knew he was fooling himself but he didn't care. He wanted Seto back with him. He could almost taste the sweet taste of his lover's mouth, like candy. His lips always had a mintish taste to them.

Jonouchi remembered the first time they had kissed. It had been after all that mess with Battle City was over. Yugi had of course won and Seto seemed a bit upset. Jonouchi remembered the arena coming down and Seto grumbling in the corner about something or another. Jonouchi could remember it clearly.

"What do you want mutt?" Kaiba's voice was thick with the ever- present sarcasm. "You come to gloat over me because I lost again?"

"No I ain't Kaiba," Jonouchi tried to say but his voice almost didn't seem to work. Jonouchi swallowed hard, knowing what he was planning on doing.

Jonouchi stopped right in front of Kaiba before shoving him bodily against the railing while grabbing the collar of his duster and dragging the CEO's face down to his. Their lips touched for the first time and Kaiba was only too happy to respond to it. The one thing Kaiba had forgotten was the breath mint he had in his mouth.

His puppy, Jonouchi, tasted salty like the ocean's water. Kaiba wanted more as he slid his tongue against the petal lips, begging for entrance.

Suddenly, his breath broke off. There was something hard in the back of his throat. Kaiba pulled away and began coughing and gagging. Jonouchi looked oddly at him, wondering what was going on. Kaiba had seemed pleased by the kiss but now he was acting disgusted.

"Puppy," he whispered. "A little help here?"

"Huh?" Jonouchi looked down at Kaiba on his hands and knees.

"It's not you, I'm choking."

Embarrassment passed over Jonouchi's face as he turned back towards Kaiba and began to slap him on the back until the red swirled peppermint fell out of his mouth. He was sure his embarrassment was nothing compared to Kaiba's at the moment.

"Guess dis means the parties over," Jonouchi said with his trademark grin. Yugi and Yami certainly weren't noticing anything and neither were the threesome of girls: Shizuka, Anzu, and Isis or Honda and Otogi.

"It's just getting started." Kaiba's grin became a feral one of a predator as Mokuba rolled his eyes.

"Big brother, when we get home I'm buying some earplugs," Mokuba noticed his brother wasn't listening but seemingly intent with biting Jonouchi's throat.

"I am going to have a serious hickey tomorrow," Jonouchi muttered but was silenced with Kaiba's lips on his own.

"Yeah, let those girls take it as a warning," Kaiba growled as he pulled away slightly. Jonouchi knew he was especially referring to Mai who was probably out of the Shadow Realm by now, or maybe not. "You're mine."

Jonouchi picked his way through the rickety mess that had been Kaiba Corp. He remembered once making love to Seto on his desk in the office on the top floor. He had so many memories there.

Jonouchi felt the dirtiness of ash floating around him as he reached the spot. He knew this spot in the bottom level of Kaiba Corp. It had been the spot where they had first had sex.

Jonouchi knelt down and buried his hands in the ashes. Every piece of rubble he pulled away lightened his heart. They hadn't found Seto's body. Maybe they had been mistaken. But his light heart grew heavy as soon as he saw it. His body was darkened but the chestnut hair was still there, as soft as ever. Jonouchi touched it again, wanting to feel its softness beneath his hands.

Jonouchi crumpled to his knees as he gathered his lover's body into his arms. Why did it have to be him? Yugi and Yami had spent their whole lives together and so had Ryou and Bakura and Malik and Marik. Even Otogi and Honda along with Shizuka, Isis, and Anzu had been together longer than Seto and he. It just wasn't fair.

Jonouchi clutched the body to his chest and wept openly. Two short years, they had sworn to be together forever. Why did this have to happen to him?
