Wow! 7 reviews after just one day of posting! *sniff* You guys make me feel so loved. ^^ I'm so glad you like the story, though.

I'll be splitting up the next several chapters into days. Seven in total. (a week, if you couldn't tell) Some will be shorter than others, some longer than others. It depends on how much I can think and how well you guys receive my work (i.e. reviews, alerts, favorites…).

.**********.

Day One

Seto watched from his place leaning against the wall as Jou moved between their room and the guest room a few doors down, growling menacingly. The blonde was currently moving most of his possessions to the guest room, ignoring the growls and glares being sent his way.

"Whether ya like it or not, Kaiba, I'm not havin' sex with ya until Easter," Jou said calmly, coming out of his and Seto's room with a pile of T-shirts and jeans, a Red-Eyes plush tucked under one arm, a Blue-Eyes plush under the other. "And you can just sleep alone in that room and think about what you did."

"What the fuck did I even do?" the brunette growled, crossing his arms.

"Ya used the one name ya swore never t' use again when ya first said ya loved me," the blonde said, his voice softer than usual as he headed back to his temporary room with his backpack, dueldisk, and a small bag filled with stuff.

"Worthless mutt?" Seto wondered, thinking back to what he'd said that morning.

Jou flinched, the old insult still hurting when the brunette said it. "Keep saying it and I'll be finding my own apartment," he threatened. Seto shut up, knowing the blonde was completely serious. He opted to watch the blonde move in silence, growling every so often when he walked in front of him.

An hour later, Jou smiled at his work, walking out of the room to find Seto had moved from his spot. "Seto?" he called, looking in their room before heading down to the brunette's study where he might be. "Seto?" he called again, poking his head through the door.

"What is it?" came his answer. Seto was sitting behind his desk, his fingers flying over the keys of his laptop and his eyes glued to the screen.

"Set, are you okay?" Jou asked, walking in and standing in front of the brunette's desk with his hands crossed behind his back.

Seto's eyes flicked up to the blonde standing in front of him for a second, returning to his computer to save his work. He closed his laptop, turning around in his chair to fully face the blonde. He leaned forward slightly with his hands crossed on the desk in front of him on top of his computer. "Puppy," he said softly.

Jou walked closer, bending over to lean close to his lover across the desk. "I'm sorry I snapped at ya," he apologized, gently nuzzling their noses together for a second or two. "But ya made make feel like a dog when ya call me that."

Seto smirked, pressing their lips together for a short kiss. "But you are a dog," he teased. "You're my beautiful puppy."

Jou smiled, rewarding the brunette with another chaste kiss. "Thanks, but you're still not allowed to drink coffee or have sex with me until Easter," he said, moving back and heading for the door. "I'm going to bed. I'll see ya tomorrow."

Seto nearly gave himself a migraine from the force used to slam his forehead into the desk as Jou left the room.

The blonde headed upstairs to the guest room he was staying in, a grin on his face as he thought of new and interesting ways to go through the 6 weeks Seto would be celibate. This is gonna be fun, he thought, walking in the room and closing the door behind him.

Day Two

Jou groaned softly as the clock radio next to his head went off, music from his favorite station blaring from the speakers. 7:30, he thought, propping himself up on his elbows and looking around the room in a bit of confusion when he didn't feel anyone sleeping behind him. Oh, yeah. Lent. Gave up sex with Seto. Got my own room. His eyes fluttered shut for a few seconds before something made him get out of bed. Bathroom.

When the blonde was done, he stumbled his way downstairs, not even caring that the only things he had on were a pair of golden Labrador printed boxers and a pair of sweats that hung low on his hips and showed just a bit of the boxers. He made his way into the kitchen, not paying attention to his surroundings as he reached into the fridge and grabbed a bag of cold pancakes, quickly heating them before scarfing them down.

"Jou?"

Mokuba walked into the kitchen, dressed and ready to go to school. "What are you doing here?" he asked, a hint of confusion in his voice. "Seto already left for school. I thought you went with him."

"One of the drawbacks of sleeping in different rooms," Jou mumbled around a mouthful of pancake, more to himself than to Mokuba. "Seto won't wake me up when he gets up."

"Different rooms?" Now Mokuba was really confused. "What happened? Did you guys fight?"

"Lent," the blonde replied, running a hand through his hair as he put the remainder of his pancakes back in the fridge. "Seto gave up coffee and I gave up sex with him. But because he's such a pervert, I can't sleep in the same room as him without him trying to f—"

"Stop stop stop!" Mokuba yelled, covering his ears with his hands. "I don't wanna know! It's bad enough I hear you guys sometimes, I don't need you telling me what happens!"

Jou blushed, but smiled in spite of himself. "When is Shizuka coming by?" he asked, starting to head back upstairs to change into his uniform.

The doorbell seemed to answer his question. "I'll see you tomorrow, Jou," Mokuba called up the stairs. "I'm staying over with her tonight."

"Have fun!" the blonde called back, a quick glance at the clock making him speed as he got dressed and brushed his teeth, rushing downstairs and out the door.

"Nice of you to join us, Mr. Jounouchi," his homeroom teacher said, slightly glaring at the blonde walking into the room. "What was it this time? Alarm clock didn't go off?"

"Well, actually—"

"Save it," the teacher said, interrupting him. "Consider this a warning not to be late again. Take your seat."

Jou muttered curses under his breath as he made his way to his seat, swallowing slightly when he remembered where he sat. They'd been arranged alphabetically by last name and unfortunately, Jounouchi was right before Kaiba.

Seto didn't pay any attention to him as he slid into his seat, fingers flying over the laptop that sat in front of him. Jou pulled out his notebook and pen, writing something down before tearing the page out and sliding it to the brunette.

Why didn't you wake me up? Seto read, smirking slightly as he stopped typing long enough to write a quick response and pass the paper back.

Because. Jou growled low in his throat.

That's not an answer, you bastard! Why the fuck didn't ya wake me up? Seto's smirk grew. It was good to know he could still get his puppy all riled up by a simple word on a piece of paper.

Simple. You're not sleeping in the same room as me. Therefore, I don't have to wake you up. Jou started to growl again before he realized the brunette was probably right. He swallowed slightly before writing a response and passing the paper back.

What about this. I sleep in our room during the week so you can wake me up and I'll be on time for school, but I go back to sleep in the guest room on weekends. Seto grinned. It seemed he was finally going to get something he wanted from the blonde.

Deal. Seal it.

Jou bit his lower lip, trying to figure out what his lover meant by 'seal it'. He turned slightly and mouthed, "Seal it?"

As a response, Seto leaned forward with his chin in his hand, still looking him as he arched an eyebrow, a slight grin tugging at the sides of his mouth. Jou blushed, knowing how he wanted to seal the deal. "Not here," he mouthed, eyes flicking in the direction of the teacher.

Seto sighed, closing his laptop and standing up, pulling Jou up with him. "Mr. Kaiba, Mr. Jounouchi," the teacher said as Seto pulled Jou toward the door with him, "where do you think you're going?"

"I have business to attend to and I require the assistance of Jou," Seto stated simply before pushing the blonde out into the hallway, closing the door behind them as he followed despite the stuttering argument of their teacher.

"So, do we have a deal?" Jou asked as they walked outside and along the side of the school. "I sleep in our room during the week and in the guest room during the weekends."

"Seal it," Seto ordered, repeating the message he gave the blonde in the note.

Jou took a deep breath before pressing his lips to Seto's in a short kiss, pulling away quickly. The brunette grinned, grabbing the blonde's wrists and pinning them above his head against the school wall. "That's not how you seal a deal, puppy," he purred, his breath tickling the blonde's face.

Seto pushed his mouth against Jou's, forcing his tongue in almost immediately. Jou struggled against the hands that kept his wrists against the wall, quickly losing himself in the kiss. But he knew if it continued, sex would be inevitable. Sorry, Seto, he apologized silently, squeezing his eyes shut before shooting his leg up between Seto's own.

The brunette broke the kiss, his eyes wide in pain. He let out a shaky breath, squatting down with his head bowed. "I'm sorry, Seto, I really am, but I gave up sex with ya for the next 39 days and you were heading toward sex with that kiss," Jou apologized, inching his way away from the brunette. "I'll see you at home!" was the last thing Seto heard before the blonde was gone, running off toward the mansion and leaving him.

Day Three

"Seto, are ya feeling better?" Jou asked, leaning over the back of the couch his lover was sitting on to read his book. School had ended for the day and the brunette hadn't spoken to him the whole day. Actually, he hadn't spoken to him since he'd come home the previous day.

"How about I kick you in the balls and see if you're alright tomorrow," Seto ground out. It wasn't that he was mad at his puppy; he was! But he couldn't stay mad forever and hearing his puppy's concern for him was amazing.

"I'm sorry, dragon," Jou apologized, brushing a soft kiss across his cheek. "I promise not to do that ever again." He smiled. "How 'bout I make us a sundae to share? I'll use your favorite ice cream and chocolate syrup and sprinkles and caramel and whipped cream and cherries and—"

"It would sound even better if I could eat it off of you," Seto purred, turning around and smirking at his surprised puppy.

"I-I'll go make it in a bowl," Jou stuttered before racing off to the kitchen.

Seto smirked again, turning back around on the couch before noticing his pants were significantly tighter than before after the image of the blonde covered in all those sweets. This is gonna be a long 40 days, he thought, heading upstairs to take a quick shower while Jou was fixing the sundae.

Day Four

"So, what's goin' on with you and Kaiba? I mean, he's not all over you like he usually is."

Jou grinned, looking around at his friends. He'd come with them to Yugi's game shop after school and they kept asking about him and Kaiba. "Ya wanna know the truth?" he asked.

"Would we have asked if we didn't want to know?" Bakura muttered, Ryou slapping his arm gently.

"Be nice," he said.

"Well, I dragged Seto to church 3 days ago," Jou explained, still grinning, "ya know, 'cause of Lent and all. He promised he'd give up something for me this year, so he gave up coffee for 40 days until Easter."

"Ouch," Honda said. "We all know how richboy loves his coffee."

"How's he taking it?" Yugi asked.

Jou almost started laughing. "I caught him eating a pint of some coffee ice cream last night," he grinned. "He's about ready to drink soda to get the caffeine he needs in the morning."

"So, what'd you give up for Lent, Jou?" Anzu asked, crossing her legs from her perch on the counter.

"Sex," the blonde replied, still smiling. A few things happened almost instantly. Marik, Bakura, Honda, Ootogi, and Yami burst out laughing, Ryou and Malik started blushing a little (knowing what would happen if they did that with their yamis), and Yugi and Anzu just stared at him.

"No coffee and no sex?" Yami got out between his laughs. "Man, Kaiba must be ready to kill himself!"

"That's why I actually wanted to talk to you guys all together," Jou said, everyone settling down again. "Who has some good ideas I can use to torture him?"

At this, Marik and Bakura grinned, plans already forming in their heads.

Day Five

Seto walked into the mansion after school, setting his briefcase near the door to his office before a smell caught his attention. Jou had stayed home from school sick, but he wasn't too worried because the blonde caught a lot of colds during the spring. Allergies or something. He followed the smell to the kitchen, stopping short when he saw Jou, his pants starting to tighten.

Jou was in a pair of Daisy Duke shorts that he'd obviously gotten from his sister considering Seto knew exactly what he'd brought over from his old apartment and they were not on the list and a black tanktop that barely reached his shorts, showing a nice expanse of skin every time he moved. A frilly pink apron was tied around his waist and he was wearing a pair of white knee socks with a stripe of blue and a stripe of red around the top.

"Do you want some cookies, Seto?" he asked, finally noticing the brunette practically drooling over him. "I just finished the dough. It'll take a half hour or so to bake, though."

Seto nodded, licking his lips to get any moisture back. So far, it wasn't working. Jou smirked as he turned his back to the older again. Yugi's plan was working perfectly. Of course, he added some imagination to the outfit, but it was still working. It was silent as the blonde rolled out the cookies, placing them in the oven and setting the timer. He turned to face the brunette, the spoon he'd used to stir the dough still in his hands.

"A-Aren't you going to wash that?" Seto asked after a few attempts at swallowing.

Jou nodded, examining the spoon. "But I thought I'd lick it clean first," he said. As if to emphasize his point, he ran his tongue over the end of it where a small ball of dough rested, moaning appreciatively at the taste. "Where are you going?" he called when Seto suddenly raced up the stairs, a door slamming shut as his answer.

"Well, that was fun," he mused, licking more of the cookie dough off the spoon.

Day Six

He's doing this on purpose! Seto thought, pacing back and forth across the floor of his office in the KaibaCorp building. It was Saturday and it was better he was at work then trying to resist his puppy's charms. He knows I'm not gonna last!

"Damn him!" he cursed, slamming his fist down on his desk. "It's only been five days and it feels like 10 years since we had sex!" It was a good thing his office was soundproof. "I've got to get to bed earlier," he muttered, switching his attention to a different subject. "I haven't had coffee in five days and it's driving me mad."

"Mr. Kaiba." Seto moved over to his phone.

"What?" he buzzed.

"There's a Jou here to see you," his secretary told him.

Seto tensed slightly, pants starting to get tight when he remembered the previous night and the cookie dough incidenct. "Don't let him in," he ordered. "Keep him away from my office. But don't hurt him." He turned off the intercom, sitting down in his chair and leaning back. I wonder if I could stay in here until Easter, he thought as he tried to think of unpleasant thoughts to try and get rid of his erection. Like Yami in a bikini for instance.

Jou frowned when Seto's secretary said he wasn't allowed in and asked him politely to leave. That Seto was too busy to be bothered at the moment and didn't have time to see him. Fine, if that's how it's gonna be, Jou thought as he headed back down toward the front entrance of the building in the elevator. Let's see how you manage next week.

.**********.

I know this one only has 6 days, but I've grown up starting the week on Sunday and that day was the last chapter, so I couldn't do that. So Day One was Monday and so on and so forth. The next chapter will have seven days, though.

This was really fun to write. If you have any ideas on ways Jou can torture poor Seto, feel free to send them in through a review or feel free to message me with your ideas. I'm always open to feedback and I like to include my readers/reviewers in my stories in some way. If you send one in, you will be credited and thanked at the beginning of the chapter it is used in. Thanks!

R&R please!
