Song lyrics

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seto kissed Jou lightly on the cheek and then hugged his younger brother. Seto stood up and noticed the sad looks from both boys.

"I'll only be gone for the weekend. This is very important to the company."

"But all the way to America big brother?" Seto sighed. He hated leaving, but his meeting was important and he didn't trust his American associates to handle it on their own.

"I'm sorry Mokuba, but I have to." Mokuba jutted out his bottom lip, and Seto ruffled his hair. "I'll be back on Monday I swear it." He knelt down and hugged his brother a second time then stood up and faced Jou. Jou gave him the most heart wrenching puppy dog face, and he couldn't help but give him one last kiss goodbye. "I'll be back pup, don't worry."

A car horn honked behind them and Seto looked back to see the limo driver. He frowned at the rude behavior and picked up his briefcase and started walking to the limo. Jou and Mokuba followed up until he shut the door. Seto rolled down the window and waved to them.

"Behave you two." They both put on innocent faces and Seto wondered if he should trust them alone. The car drove off and he watched them both wave, until he couldn't identify them, or any of the other little colored dots. He turned around in his seat and stared at the window.

Jou and Mokuba waited until they couldn't see the limo anymore, then walked back inside. Mokuba went up to his room and Jou plopped down on the couch. Jou closed his eyes and immediately saw Seto smiling, one of his rare, but there, smiles at him.

Gimme a reason
Why I'm feeling so blue
Everytime I close my eyes, all I see is you
Gimme a reason
Why I can't feel my heart
Everytime you leave my side, I just fall apart

Seto hadn't even been gone for 5 minutes and Jou already felt lonely. He wondered if Seto was thinking about him right now as well.

And when you're fast asleep, I wonder where you go
Can you tell me, I wanna know

Because I miss you
And this is all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you
I think about you when you're gone
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on

Jou sighed and stood up off the couch. Seto would be gone for two days, and he was not going to just sit around and do nothing. He walked up to Mokuba's room and saw him staring at the ceiling.

"Hey kiddo, you wanna go over to Yug's?" Mokuba perked up and nodded and took a leap off his bed to land right in front of Jou. Jou laughed and they started walking over to Yugi and Yami's. He watched the younger Mokuba up ahead of him practically skipping down the sidewalk. Wow, if it wasn't the similar resemblance, you would never know Seto and Mokuba were brothers. They acted so differently. Jou growled at himself, and started doing the math to find out how many seconds until Seto came back. He had to stop when his head started to hurt.

Gimme a reason
Why I can't concentrate
The world is turning upside down
Spinning round and round
Gimme a reason
Why I now understand
The beauty and simplicity of everything surrounding me

They finally arrived at Yugi's house and Mokuba rang the doorbell. Yami opened the door and smiled at Mokuba and Jou. He moved aside and motioned for the two boys to come inside. They walked into the living room to see Yugi playing a video game on the floor and Mokuba quickly went to join him. Yami sat in the chair, and Jou once again sat down in the couch. He suddenly imagined sitting in Seto's lap, like he had so many times before, and he hugged himself and pushed himself further into the couch.

You got a way of spreading magic everywhere
Anywhere I go, I know you're always there
It sounds ridiculous, but when you leave a room
There's a part of me that just wants to follow you too

Jou was brought out of his little reality when Mokuba's pocket rang. No, Mokuba's cell phone rang, which happened to be in his pocket. Mokuba answered it with a chipper Hello. Jou couldn't hear the person on the other line, but he knew who it was. Mokuba paused his side of the game and plopped down next to Jou. Jou could hear the suave voice which was soft and gentle now, but boy could it be menacing sometimes.

~~~Flash back~~~

Jou's head slammed up against the wall of the school and he struggled to get free, muttering obscenities at the man holding him up. Jou, being who he was had gotten into another fight, and this time, with the wrong person. The man was way more muscular than him, not to mention taller. Jou had no doubt in his mind that this kid was using steroids. Jou's head was once again shoved back into the wall and his vision started to go black. Suddenly he heard a stern voice from behind the kid holding him up.

"Leave him alone." The kid dropped Jou to the floor and Jou held his head in his hands hoping the throbbing would stop soon. He looked up, his vision a little blurred, and saw Seto standing up against the boy, not even looking the slightest bit frightened.

"What? Are you going to make me?" Seto smirked and nodded. "Ha! I'd like to see you try you little bitch!" The boy charged at Seto and Seto kicked the boy right in the stomach. The boy clutched his stomach and got a knife out of his pocket. He charged at Seto again and this time Seto simply moved to the side. The knife grazed Seto's cheek and Seto growled, the blood from his cheek running down to his jaw. Seto twisted the boy's arm behind his back and shoved him into the wall. The boy fell to the ground with a thud right beside Jou. Jou then looked back at Seto and took his outstretched hand. Jou yelped, a sharp pain shooting up his ankle, as he proceeded to fall into Seto's chest. Jou quickly jumped back only to flinch at the pain from, well, from almost everywhere. Seto put his hand around Jou's shoulder and helped him limp into school. The whole time Jou's face heating up forming a blush.

It's such a hard life in most of the time
I'm just surviving
That's why I want you to know
In the world where sincerity has lost its meaning
You fill my world with so much hope

~~End Flashback~~

By the time Jou had come back to reality Mokuba was poking him in the shoulder.

"You wanna talk?" Jou nodded and brought the receiver up to his mouth. He quickly stood from the couch and walked into the bathroom. It seemed to be the only place he could talk in private with Seto.

"Hey."

"Hi pup." Jou smiled at the nickname. Before Seto and Jou had hooked up he had always hated that nickname. Now it was more like a pet name, and he realized that he really was like Seto's puppy. "Man I hate payphones." Jou came back from la-la land from what, the fourth time that day? To hear Seto growling into the phone.

"What?"

"I forgot my cell phone on my desk. I have to use one of their payphones." Jou chuckled. "Hey! I hear that." Jou chuckled louder, and Seto chuckled as well. Jou heard something in the background and he heard Seto sigh. "That's my flight pup. I guess I better go." Jou sighed as well.

"Yeah I guess you should." There was a short pause and finally Jou spoke up again. "Seto?"

"Yeah?" Jou realized this was going to sound corny but he didn't say it enough.

"I love you." He could almost hear Seto's smile and it made his heart melt.

"I love you too puppy." Jou made a kissing noise into the phone and heard it returned. That noisy announcer woman came into the background again and Seto growled. "I have to go pup, or I'm going to miss my flight." Jou frowned.

"Ok. Bye Seto."

"Bye Jou." The line went down after that and Jou shut off the phone and came out of the bathroom and handed the phone to Mokuba.
