Chapter 2
(I was writing this while listening to 'My Heart Will Go On' Instrumental so haha, I was almost in tears. =P)
Seto grunted as he grabbed the older male's narrow hips roughly, leaving red marks in its awake, pushing himself even deeper inside. The man, sprawled across the blue bed sheets, moaned, eyes widening and back arching. His hands wandered to his own aching member which was leaking slightly. The lights in the small apartment were dimmed, casting a slight glow on the two naked men on the small bed. The younger one, with chestnut brown hair and icy blue eyes made another thrust making the other one see stars.
Seto Kaiba smiled to himself as the pathetic man practically moaned wantonly, spreading his legs further apart, eyes closed and thin pink lips parted. His own body was laden with sweat as he made rhythmic thrusts, this time harder and faster. Hands traced the others muscled body as they moved together, tracing the smooth muscled chest, resting for a short while on the pert red nipples, playing with them slightly. His eyes were clouded with lust and he made one final thrust when the older brunette came loudly, spraying his chest as well as the others with a familiar white fluid. Seto came soon after albeit silently.
To Seto, the man's hair suddenly turned longer and spikier, a fan shade of yellow, skin becoming soft smooth and pale, eyes turning golden-brown. He shook his head and got up, smirking to himself slightly as a certain blonde found their way inside the confines of his mind. Seto expertly pulled up his boxers and jeans, buttoning up his red dress shirt, grabbing his coat from the nearby chair. The brunet stood as well, grabbing a towel and wiping his chest with one swift move. He grabbed a pair of jeans and clumsily put them on as Seto made to move.
"W-wait!"
The billionaire turned, raising a slender eyebrow.
"Yes?"
"Do you have to leave so soon?" The man shifter from one foot to another, his chest heaving, still tired from their recent activities.
"Why would I have a reason to stay? You've fulfilled your purpose." And with a curt nod, Seto Kaiba made his exit, leaving the other to gape in disgust and glare angrily at the beaten down oak door.
Katsuya smiled softly to himself, one hand expertly stroking the black drawing pencil across the white surface while the other brushed away blonde bangs from his eyes. He rubbed his legs together, the unusually smooth feeling comforting for once in his life. With a few more strokes, Katsuya leaned back and smoothed out the page to observe his master piece. With a satisfied grin, Katsuya signed his name and the date at the right corner of the page.
The shop was crowded, as usual, today. A light drizzle was tapping against the large windows, the soft sound almost drowned out by the loud chatter of the customers.
The blonde sat in one of the tables at the centre, a large empty coffee mug lying amongst a vast array of color pencils and his sketch book. He bit his lip as he found slight errors in his work and with renewed determination, got back into the zone, wrist moving swiftly with an awing speed.
He glanced at his match and neon green letters boldly stood out: 6:30 PM. It has half an hour to his shift and Katsuya raised his eyes to the counter and smiled softly at the sight of his best friend taking orders with a characteristically adorable smile on his pale face.
Yuugi Motou, 16, had met Katsuya Jonouchi on his first day in Kindergarten when everyone decided to make fun of his tri-colored hair. Katsuya, being the righteous person that he is, did what he thought the smartest thing to do. Start a paint war. Or at least attempt to, before the teacher came and gave him a time out. Everyone proceeded to laugh at his expense as his sat in the corner, a pout in his face, forgetting all about Yuugi Motou and his strange hair.
Yuugi along with Katsuya had gone through Elementary, Middle School and High School together. And now they both were attending DIFA in a few months, with Yuugi's long time boyfriend Atemu. While Katsuya blew everyone away with his art, Yuugi worked his magic on the piano, something his mother taught him passionately before dying an unexpected cancerous death 7 years prior.
Atemu was Yuugi's boyfriend for almost 2 years now, both having come out to their families as well as Katsuya's on Atemu's 16th Birthday last year.
Atemu was taller then Katsuya, a reasonable 5'8, to Yuugi's 5'3, and was tanner then both of his friends. He, like Yuugi, had tri-colored hair, with golden spiky bangs in the front and dark brown hair at the back with maroon tips. Unlike Yuugi's breathtaking amethyst eyes, Atemu's were a shocking ruby red that gained him quite a following from the opposite gender. Atemu too had applied to DIFA and it was no surprise to everyone that the prodigal teenager and found himself a spot instantly. His talent with a violin was truly remarkable.
Closing their tight group of friends were Ryou and Bakura.
Ryou was the pretty boy of the group, with soft spiky silver hair and equally beautiful brown eyes and pale skin. He was 5'5 like Katsuya, but where the blonde was loud and feisty; Ryou was shy and often, dull. Always the pacifist, Ryou was the only one who managed to keep peace between the prideful Atemu and the questionable Bakura.
Bakura was a freak. With silverish white hair, and dark eyes and slanted eyebrows, his face alone send others fleeing in terror. His devious smirk, and the devilish gleam in his eyes, didn't help much either. With an odd habit to chase squirrels when an opportunity pleased itself, something about defending the human race, life never got boring with Bakura. Loud, brash, rude, violent and dominating, Bakura was Ryou's complete opposite. And it didn't help with the fact that Bakura disliked Atemu with a passion.
Katsuya shook his head as he once again felt this feeling at the back of his neck and turned around. A scowl planted on his face as he caught sight of the annoying brunet a few tables away. Seto Kaiba had announced his presence 3 hours ago, making Katsuya roll his eyes in disgust at how people worshipped the very ground he walked upon. He had sat there, briefcase in hand, newspaper in the other, and had proceeded to sit there for the past 3 hours typing away on his keyboard without even ordering anything.
Katsuya's eye twitched as Seto smirked at him, and huffed before giving him a glare and turning around. Immediately uncomfortable, Katsuya now wished he had not decided to wear Bermudas as he could almost feel Seto's perverted leer.
The door slammed open as Bakura Atemu and Aiden announced their presence. Within a few minutes, Aiden and found himself beside Katsuya, ordering from him, while Bakura and Atemu followed, bickering all the way through.
Katsuya nudged Aiden in the ribs.
"Well?"
"Atemu beat him at Burnout. Again" Aiden rolled his eyes, pushing the sleeves of his sweater and shirt to his elbows. Katsuya laughed, before closing his sketchbook with a snap, throwing it in the confines of his messy shoulder bag.
"Jou, Hi" Atemu smiled at him, before going back to ignoring Bakura who was busy making rude gestures with his hand, profanities spewing from his mouth.
"Where's Ryou?" Aiden shrugged.
"Got held up with chores. The reason Bakura almost ran over Mrs. Smith"
"His neighbour?" Katsuya's eyes widened in horror as Aiden nodded.
"Don't worry, Atemu intervened in time" Aiden reassured him, tracing soft patterns on his shoulder as Katsuya sipped on his coffee.
"Look Katsuya. I believe that guys checking you out?" Katsuya swore Aiden's eyes turned red as Bakura burst into laughter.
"Fuck, it worked! You need to loosen up" His ever so famous smirked reappeared, as Bakura leaned forward. "Ryou agrees. You have no idea what you're missing out on" He licked his lips, making Katsuya flush in embarrassment and for Aiden to snarl.
"Shut the fuck up, you albino freak" Aiden growled, crossing his arms across his chest. "Katsuya doesn't need anyone right now. He's too young"
Atemu gave him a look.
"Aiden, Ryou's even dating now. Ryou" He gave Katsuya a sympathetic look. Aiden looked ready to argue when his cell buzzed. It was a text from someone Katsuya couldn't see.
"Katsuya, I've got to go. Something came up." Aiden got up, laying down a few dollar bills for Katsuya's coffee ignoring the blonde's protest. He ruffled the blondes hair.
"I'll be back to pick you up." Aiden stated firmly before exiting the shop. Katsuya only sighed.
Bakura huffed.
"This is boring. I wanna' burn something." Katsuya gave him a look which only got a snarl in return, which luckily Katsuya was used to.
"Fuck you two" And with that Bakura too made his exit. Katsuya turned to Atemu.
"Should we be worried? Unleashing Bakura on Domino unaccompanied" Atemu chuckled.
"Don't worry; I confiscated all lethal items from him before we left his house. And yes, his shoes too this time." He rolled his eyes at Katsuya's pout and turned to his little Aibou at the counter.
"Yuugi looks a little stressed. Katsuya, when's his shift going to be over?"
"In a couple of minutes. Mines starting after him" Katsuya explained as he traced the edge of the wooden table. He turned back to Yuugi and looked on worried, as Yuugi rushed from one person to another, clearly frazzled
"I'm on it, don't you worry!" With a determined nod, Katsuya marched towards the counter.
"Hey there short stuff, I'm here to save the day" Katsuya grinned as he went behind the counter. Yuugi only grumbled as he passed an order to an impatient woman who huffed and stomped away, leaving crisp bills behind.
"Look who's talking" Yuugi smiled slightly, ducking to dodge the assailing hand that he knew really didn't have a lethal purpose.
"What do you want me to do Chief!?" Katsuya chuckled, saluting the tri-colored teen. Yuugi grinned, handing Katsuya a tray.
"You need to take this to that guy with the brown hair" Katsuya followed Yuugi's finger and promptly choked on his own saliva.
"You're kidding me!" Yuugi only gave him a look that he gave when he was really frazzled at the moment.
"Is there a problem?" Yuugi wondered, as he handed a plate containing a blueberry slice to an aged man who grunted in response.
"No! Everything's just peachy" Katsuya grumbled as he walked towards the direction of the brown haired jerk, an Espresso in the silver tray he held in one hand.
Seto smirked slightly, watching the gorgeous blonde walk towards him, a pout on his face. His eyes trailed towards the blonde's legs, clearly his best feature, eyes focusing on how shapely they were and equally smooth. They were long, as the blonde was almost all legs.
"Here you go Sir" Katsuya muttered stiffly as Seto's smirk widened.
"Thank you Puppy" Katsuya only huffed and faked a smile. He made to turn when Seto grabbed his hand, relishing in the smoothness. Katsuya quickly pulled out of his grasp.
"Yes?"
"Where are my blueberry muffins?" Katsuya raised an eyebrow.
"I apologize for the inconvenience, I'll get right on it. You don't look like a muffin guy though"Seto rose an eyebrow in return.
"You've been looking at me?" Katsuya flushed, warmth creeping into his cheeks.
Seto rolled his eyes.
"The service hair is truly pathetic. Can't your little midget take an order properly?" Seto relished in the little fire he got in Katsuya's eyes.
"You jerk, Yuugi's tired, lay off!" The brunet rolled his eyes.
"My muffins?" Katsuya glared before stomping off.
Seto inwardly smiled.
Within a few minutes Katsuya returned, a tray of muffins in his hands.
"Here you go, bastard" Seto clicked his tongue
"Flattery won't get you anywhere puppy" Katsuya frowned.
"You drink coffee an awfully lot. You do know coffee stunts growth right?" Katsuya mumbled as he gathered the tray in his hands.
Seto turned to him. "So that's what happened to you?" Katsuya growled, muttering to himself before making to walk away.
"Go stuff it, you jerk!" Seto only chuckled before brushing Katsuya off with a wave of his hand.
"God, I can't stand that jerk!" Yuugi turned his big amethyst eyes towards him, his mood going back to normal as the crowd lessened, everyone rushing back to their homes as the rain had stopped.
"Jou, do you know him?" Katsuya mumbled something under his breathe.
"You're speaking incoherently again." Yuugi pointed out as he took off his apron and handed it to Katsuya who made to start his shift.
"It's nothing. Go ahead, Atemu's getting impatient" Katsuya grinned at the blush he got out of the small teen.
Yuugi turned to Atemu for a short while and offered him a soft smile.
"Where's Aiden? It's not like him to leave you behind?" Katsuya only rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"He had to go somewhere. And Im glad. He was becoming a bit overbearing." Katsuya muttered as he handed out a Vanilla Latte to a teenager. Yuugi smiled at him softly.
"He loves you very much, that's all." Katsuya sighed.
"Do you want some help?" Yuugi wondered. Katsuya shook his head.
"You go off with your little boyfriend, have fun Yuugi. I bet he's got something planned for tonight?" Katsuya grinned. Yuugi nodded excitedly.
"Yes! We've got reservations at this new French Restaurant that opened down the street. Remember?" Katsuya nodded in response
"That's great!" Yuugi nodded excitedly. "I'm meeting him there!"
Katsuya laughed, always glad to see his best friend happy.
Yuugi hugged him before rushing off towards his tanned counterpart. Katsuya shook his head.
"One Caramel Latte, here you go Miss." He smiled at his blond customer who patted his cheek in response.
Katsuya sighed as his shift ended and he took off his apron. He turned and walked towards Atemu who was still at their table, fingering the strap of his shoulder bag.
"Your still here?" He nodded in response
"Yuugi told you about our plans?" He grinned at Katsuya's nod and smile.
"I'm meeting him in an hour. We've got reservations at 9" Katsuya patted his hand.
"I'm so happy for you guys! 2 years right?" Atemu nodded.
"You should go off to get ready." Katsuya mused to which Atemu shook his head.
"Aiden told me to take you home when your shift ended." Katsuya turned to him, eyes narrowed.
"Something happened to Aiden?" Aiden never cancelled out on walking Katsuya home, something which the blond had come to treat as their little ritual.
Atemu shook his head. "Nothing like that, he just said he was busy and would be all night and asked me to take you home"
"Your house is on the other side of the city. You won't be in time to get ready and meet Yuugi" Katsuya frowned.
"I'll make it, don't worry" Katsuya shook his head.
"I have been forced to watch too many chick flicks by Tea to know how this will end!" Atemu raised an eyebrow at Katsuya's declaration.
"Katsuya I-"
"You march your cute little butt out of here! I'll walk myself home thank you very much!" Katsuya huffed.
"Aiden would kill me-"
"I'll deal with Aiden. This is Yuugi's big night, don't ruin it!" Katsuya glared at Atemu, hands on his hips.
Said male held his hands up in surrender.
"If you're sure…" Katsuya nodded.
"I'm 16, not 10 Atemu" He deadpanned, standing up to give the tri-colored haired teen a short hug as they walked to the entrance.
"Have a good night!" With a playful shove, Katsuya set Atemu off into the evening.
He made to grab his bag and leave when his boss, Yue called out to him. Katsuya, confused, walked up to the tall brunet who stood beside the counter.
"Katsuya. One of our customers left you a tip" Katsuya tilted his head to the side in confusion.
"Who?"
"Seto Kaiba." Yue muttered, handing Katsuya a few green bills. Katsuya's eyes widened as he counted the money.
"$70!" Big golden eyes stared at them in shock. For a tip, this was too much. Yue only nodded, before walking away.
"Have a good night Katsuya." Katsuya only nodded, still dumbfounded. He silently pocketed the money. He grinned, realizing he now could get Ryou the gift he wanted for his upcoming birthday.
"Guess the bastard is good for something after all!" Katsuya grinned and exited the shop.
"Seto, muffins!" Mokuba cheered as he hugged his brother, arms tightly around the tall brunet's waist. Seto gave off a deep chuckle, patting dark hair, smiling slightly.
"Blueberry, my favorite!" Mokuba squealed, prompting to stuff the aforementioned muffin in his mouth.
Seto only smiled before turning his laptop back on, and resumed work.
Outside, it started raining again.
(I am deeply disappointed with this chapter and cut out a few parts as well. Hope it turned out decent and the characters weren't too OOC. )
Next time: We meet the one person who's almost as precious to Aiden as Katsuya himself
