Summary: Kaiba Seto meets an unexpected rival. SetoxJou
Schadenfreude
"Look who it is," He hissed. "Who would've thought?"
"It's no surprise- I had a goal and the situation grew immeasurable."
"Situation? Running away and disappearing for two years?"
"You kept count, I feel remembered." The blond replied in evident sarcasm.
"Every fucking day- from the very moment you left me."
"It was one night. I didn't know Kaiba Seto had set backs."
"I don't. I moved on."
"Not far enough." He snapped back.
"What do you want Katsuya?"
"What do you want Seto?"
There was silence.
Kaiba Seto had no answer for such question. He obtained everything he ever wanted- everything he wished for. Except-
"You."
The sharper blond gave a smirk and began to walk away.
"See you in the meeting." He spoke quietly, closing the door tightly behind him and leaving the CEO all to himself. The brunet shifted his eyes and glanced over to his computer screen, the shown data revealing his company's current state and also the competing company's beside it. The bar showed their profit so proximate and even- matching their first three digits.
He cursed lightly.
No wall was ever wide enough to become a vigorous boundary- not a single barrier. He knew well enough, nothing would stop him, and nothing ever will. A person he sorely missed, a man he once cared for- isn't going to stop him now.
It was one night.
The night they had sex.
But reminiscing was one word Kaiba Seto did not have in his dictionary. He knew the past was already written and soon to be forgotten- just as everything else that ever attempted to hold him back. This was business, his goal and driven life, and he was even looking ahead.
Especially because that one man had already forgotten every detail.
"Do not regret this, Jounouchi Katsuya," His low voice cursed. "If this is the way you want it to be."
Author's Note: Decided to attempt the darker side of things since my 'Edible Kisses' is ridiculously sweet and fluffy. I always wanted Jou to be successful and excel in his life- he had the potential, just not the right amount of ingredients in life. Perhaps influenced by Wuthering Heights and The Great Gatsby, here comes Jounouchi Katsuya as the second richest CEO in Domino- crawling to steal Seto Kaiba's spotlight. The plot will definitely deal with tons of sexual tension and obscure humor, and this is only the preface. I hope you enjoyed, Beloveds.
