Title: Suicide

Summary: Jounouchi's thoughts on Seto Kaiba committing suicide to save Mokuba.

Pairings: Puppyshipping.


Suicide

Even when his father beat him, he managed. Didn't know how nor why, he just did. He hid the scars, hid the bruises, and didn't cause the slightest bit of suspicion. He never once cut himself or tried. He never even thought about killing himself. So, seeing the strong, coldhearted Seto Kaiba threaten to take another step back, ending his life, Jounouchi's heart froze. His breath became faster as tears came to his eyes. Suicide was the last option, in his opinion. The last… even for a boy like Kaiba… even for a man like Kaiba.

Before Yami could react, Jounouchi did. "ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?"

Seto turned to him, his eyes piercing his soul. Jounouchi's tears were on the brinks of his eyes. Shock appeared on the famous Kaiba's face but not much. Instead, he just sharpened the expression on his face. "I need to win."

"So you're willing to bet your life for a game?" Jounouchi hissed back.

"You don't understand anything," Seto snarled.

Jounouchi's heart began to beat even faster. Why did he care so much about Kaiba? Shouldn't he just let him die? Besides, he was trying to make Yugi lose so he couldn't rescue his grandfather…

"I understand enough," Jounouchi whispered but Seto could still here. "I understand you want something and because you're not getting it, you throw a fit. You're a kid that way. Grow up! Suicide is never an option! How would Mokuba react to you killing yourself? How would your family react? How would I react?"

That's when Kaiba's eyes widened to see the tears streaming down Jounouchi's stone cold face. Everyone stared at him in surprise as Kaiba suddenly thought it over. Mokuba wouldn't be too keen on him dying. Even if he was saved, he would be mad. If he wasn't saved, he would be furious with Seto. He would tell him to move on. He would tell him to be strong. He would tell him exactly what Jounouchi was telling him right now.

"Promise to save my brother."

That last statement left his lips without warning. Kaiba's eyes widened as he covered his mouth with his hand. He never begged. He never said please. He demanded, received and moved on. Yami nodded slowly. "We'll save Mokuba."

Seto nodded as he stepped down, his head hanging low. "Then I lose the game."


"Why'd you do it?"

Jounouchi turned to see Kaiba standing there, a serious expression on his face. After they decided to have Seto come in with them, along with his other friends, Seto approached Jounouchi and blurted out what was on his mind. Jounouchi blinked. "Do what?"

"Saved me."

Jounouchi smiled softly. "You're not that much of a prick."

And for the first time, Seto Kaiba let out a soft laughter. One Jounouchi Katsuya would treasure forever.
