Okay, I told ya'll there might be a sequal. And, there is. Somewhat anyway. For now, I've only gone as far as a one-shot, but they, that's how my old story began anyway, so who knows really.

But, this sequal, just so you know, will be set in the future, about two years, and a lovely twist is going to happen. Okay, so from that thought, I've just gotten more thoughts, so I guess it won't be a one-shot anymore. Bet, ya'll happy 'bout that huh?

Thought so. -grins-

Anyway, onto the sequal;

Two years later

It's been two long years since Jou declared that he was, infact, still in love with Kaiba and that he was willing to try and rebuild his realtionship with Kaiba. During those two years, Kaiba and Jou had had many ups and downs and at one point, Jou was ready to give up completly. No, not give up on trying to rebuild his relationship, but everything else. They pain in his legs everytime he walked was still there. It wasn't as bad as it had been at first, but it still hurt. But as much as he wanted to give up, Kaiba had been there to help pull him through until the end.

Kaiba showed more emotion now-a-days and Jou was greatful for it. He hated having to always have guesed what the older boy was thinking or feeling. Now, he didn't have to worry about that. There was always a small smile on his lips whenever he saw Jou and Jou couldn't help but always grin back. Kaiba was now acting more like a person not a robot.

As Jou stretched on the bed with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but wince a little. Okay, well, maybe a lot. No, this time, it wasn't from his legs. No, the night before, he and Kaiba had made love for the first time. He had to admit, it had hurt as much as he had thought, as more. But, at the same time, the pleasure he'd felt from it, it countered the pain. He couldn't begin to explain how happy he was. Even if he'd limp and wince when he walked.

He was greatful for the last two years though. Even though they still bickered -it was normal, you'd worry if they didn't- they hadn't had any major fights. If he recalled correctly, the biggest fight they'd had was over Kaiba refusing to get his a puppy.

Flashback

"Kaibaaa."

"I already said no Jou. When I say no, I mean no!"

"But please Kaiba. It's just a puppy! I'll take care of him."

"I already have a puppy, Jou, why would I want another?"

"I'M NOT YOUR PUPPY DAMNIT! And the puppy isn't for you, it's for me!"

"Why should I get you a puppy anyway?"

"Because, it's our one year anniversy in a week you idiot!"

There was only silnce from Kaiba's end and Jou couldn't help but growl. The barstard had forgotten all about it! It wasn't that it suprised him, but still, it was their anniversy for crying out loud! You couldn't forget that, but looks like he'd been wrong about that.

"You forgot, didn't you!? I knew it! I knew that if I didn't tell you I wanted something, I'd never get something because you wouldn't damn well remember about our anniversy!"

Kaiba opened his mouth to protest, but he shut his mouth. Jou could only sneer before walking into their room for a moment before coming back out and chucking a pillow and blanket at him.

"You can damn well sleep on the couch you barstard!"

With that, Jou turned and walked back into their room and slammed the door closed. Kaiba slept on the couch for the rest of the week.

End Flashback

Jou couldn't help but snicker at the thought. He'd won the argument too. The day of their anniversy, he'd recieved a puppy as a present. Kaiba had deserved the weeks worth of sleeping on the couch though. As lonely as Jou felt at night, Kaiba deserved it for forgetting about their anniversy. He couldn't just let that slide.

If he remembered correctly too, it was their two year anniversy today. He couldn't help but let a small smile creap onto his face. He wondered if Kaiba would remember this anniversy or he'd have to make him sleep on the couch again for forgetting. He hoped that Kaiba did remember though.

When a door opened and closed, Jou snapped out of his thoughts. He heard his name being called and he let Kaiba know that he was in their room. It was odd though, Kaiba was home early. He was meant to be at work until late again. Not wanting to worry about why, Jou put it out of his head. All he knew was that Kaiba and himself would be able to spend some more time together today.

Jou bit back a laugh when Kaiba poked his head into their room. He sobered though, when he saw the look in Kaiba's eyes. He was afraid. Of what Jou didn't know, but he knew it had to be something big if he was afraid. Kaiba was never afraid. Jou wanted to ask what was wrong, but he'd lost his ability to talk for some reason.

"K... Kaiba?"

Jou got no responce, so he slowly sat up. He bit back a wince and swung his legs over the side of the bed. Kaiba was looking at him intensly and Jou couldn't help but wimper. He watched as Kaiba walked over to him, not breaking eye contact, and dropped to one knee infront of him. Jou sucked in a breath, wondering what the hell was going on.

"Jou... will you... marry me?"
