V is very, very…
"Are you done yet?"
"No."
"Now?"
"No."
"Will you be?"
"If you leave me alone I'll be done even quicker."
"You're job is so boring."
"I know."
"Don't you ever get sick of it?"
"All the time."
"Do you ever take brakes?"
"Nope."
"Never?"
"Never."
"I'm hungry."
"Of course."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Sigh.
"Am I annoying you?"
"Yes."
Jou went silent, sitting on the corner of Seto's desk in boredom. He thought it would actually be fun to spend time with his lover at work. Boy, was he wrong. The constant tapping of the keys and the sound of phones ringing off the hook was driving him mad.
"So…bored."Jou groaned like a man dying of thirst in the desert. Seto looked up at him briefly before pulling his gaze back to the flashing screen of his labtop.
"Then why'd you come?"Seto asked,slighty annoyed.
Jou smiled,"'Cause I love you, babe. Ain't that enough?"
Seto chuckled lighty, the most he had come to laughing all day. The room was once again filled with nothing but tapping and clicking. Seto was glued to the screen of the labtop, his fingers working like magic over the keys. Jou didn't know anything about technology, but he knew his koi's fingers really could work magic.
"Are you done now?" Jou sighed in boredom. Seto looked up at him.
"No. Not now, not in 5 minutes, not in 6 minutes, not ever unless you shut your trap, Pup, please. I haven't had my coffe yet."
"Want me to get you some?"Jou tried not to remark on the "shut your trap" comment. Seto sighed loudly, smiling slighty to himself.
"That would be most helpful, yes…but you've shown a side of me that I didn't know."
"What's that?"Jou asked.
"I didn't know you were a Golden Retriver. I should send you out for more stuff later on."Seto just couldn't help it, old habits die hard.
"Watch it koi, or the only action you'll ever get will be taping that labtop."
"Pity me."
"About that coffe,"Jou narrowed his eyes at Seto,"do you want it on your head or in your lap?"
"Ooh, Jou."
"You are such a pervert, y'know that?"
"Just get my coffe. Black, I got to stay awake. Didn't get a wink of sleep last night, thanks to these stupid papers and you my little retriver."
Jou grumbled under his breath before exiting the office. He walked down a large hallway, passing by men in exspensive looking suits and women dressed to impress. All in all, in his jeans and plain black T-Shirt, he stuck out like a sore thumb.
He had remembered where the lounge was, the first door on the right. He had bothered Seto to no end until he agreed to buy him a Snickers, five to be exact. Jou dug in his pocket for change but came up emty handed. No biggy, he'd just get some later.
As he walked into the lounge, three women sat crowded around one in the middle, whispering gossip to each other. Jou new them: Heather, Mariah, Janice, and the most popular gossiper, La'Donna. The brown skined girl could make even the wildest of rumors sound true and, the most amazing thing, half of them were true.
"Did you know…"La'Donna whispered loudly, apparently wanting Jou to hear. He pretnded to ignore her, grabbing a foam cup and taking the jug of coffe from the coffe maker and pouring in the contents. Even though he was pretending not to care, it was hard not to listen when La'Donna did her gossip.
"Did you know,"she reapted,"on a Saturday night a certain Mr. Seto Kaiba was out having dinner with a sexy looking redhead? He even had the whole restaurant blocked off for the occasion. I was suppose to set reservations, for him and his date a Mr. Kazumaki."
"Oooh,"Heather, Mariah, and Janice all coursed together, loving the gossip. Jou was listening more closely now, peering out of the corner of his eye. He could feel La'Donna's brown eyes taunting him.
"Yeah,"she contiued,"and as I rode in the back of the limo, Mr. Kaiba decideed to 'walk him to the door' by himself. Went in and didn't come out for an hour or so. And to think, he has a boyfriend. Wonder where his boyfriend was that night."
Jou bit his lip. Last Saturday Seto had said he had plans to take care of and would be at home all day. Was all that true? Did Seto really lie? Did he really cheat?
Jou's thoughts were cut off when a burning sensation came over him. The steaming coffe was overflowing and spilling over his hand. He dropped the jug and the cup, sending coffe everywhere. His hand ached and he waved it around, trying to cool it.
"Watch what your doing, Mr. Katsuya! You just made a huge mess!" Janice said accusingly. Jou looked at them all, wondering if what La'Donna had said was really true, or just another one of her false rumors. He told himself it was just a rumor, but he still questioned himself.
"What's the matter, Katsuya,"La'Donna smiled evilly at him,"sounds like you just heard a bundle of bad news?"The girls laughed, but Jou didn't stick around to hear anymore insults. He ran out of the room, down the hall, and into a different lounge.
"There you are, Jou! I've been waiting for you! I'm barely conscious. Did you get my coffe, black?"
"Yes, love."Jou smilled mockingly at him. Seto raised an eyebrow but didn't question him. Jou liked to make fun of their relationship. Just many of the things that made him who he was.
"Give it to me. I am exhausted."Seto reached out his right hand for the cup, his left was still taping on the labtop, his eyes locked on the screen.
"Here you go, koi."
With that, Jou dumped the cup of steaming coffe on Seto's lap.
"SHIT!"Seto yelled, jumping up and knocking his chair back. He hopped around and howled in pain. Jou felt satisfaction and an odd feeling of anger rise over him. Amused, he watched his boyfriend jump around the room, cursing and screaming like a teenage drunk.
When the coffe was no longer burning his lap, he ran over to Jou and grabed his arm, pulling him close enough so that the blond locked eyes with him and could feel his breath on his lips.
"What the hell was the for?"he screamed, his body shook. Jou looked up at his koi, feeling a bit small and guilty. But that quickly changed when he himself remembered why he did it.
"Me? Oh, maybe it was just for fun,"Jou narrowed his eyes,"maybe I like to see you in pain, or, this one's far fetched, maybe it was payback!"
"For calling you a Golden Retriver?"Seto asked, curiously. His face had softened and his grip on Jou's wrist loosened slighty. Something had Jou worked up, and it wasn't good.
Jou pulled away from Seto and pushed the CEO back away from him, he stumbled but recalimed his balance,"No! For lying to me!"
"What? You're not making any sense."Seto raised a troubled brow. Jou shook with fury.
"You said you were home last Saturday!"
Seto stepped back,"I was."
"No you weren't! You were on a date with some fucked up redhead at a restaurant! A DATE!"
Seto was quiet for a long time. How could he have known? How did he know? Was the surprised ruined? Seto straightened up, staring at Jou straight in his heart broken eyes. Seto slipped his lying face on.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said simply. Jou looked at Seto with disbelief. Was he serious? Did he actually think he was that stupid? He wanted to believe him, but after 9 months of being with him, he learned to read through Seto's lies.
"Why are you lying about it!? I know! You went into that freakin' bastards house and stayed! You stayed, Seto! Now you're lying to me! I'm not as stupid as you think, Kaiba. I know when your lying, but that sad part is you know I know! But you still lie anyway!? WHO IS HE?!"
"There is no one else!" Seto tried to get it through to his koi.
"TELL ME!"
"Who gave you this bogus story, anyway?" Seto was enraged, not at Jou, at who he dind't know, but anger consumed him.
"La'Donna said she booked your fuckin' date with him, and that you stayed at his house for an hour before leaving. She was there."
Of course it was La'Donna,"You believe her?"
"Damn right!"
Seto chuckled deeply,"It's a missunderstanding, you know how La'Donna looks too much into things. You can't believe her."
Jou was silently sobing now, his head hung low. Seto took his hand and lead him behind his desk and, amazingly, Jou didn't fight back when he sat him on his knee(his lap was still wet).
"Love, that man was Otikai Kazumaki-"
"I know."Jou mumbled.
"and he's a jewler-'
"Thought you had higher standards than that, Kaiba."
"-and I had placed an order from him two weeks earlier. I went to his home and got it, getting his opion on it and some coffe. Which lasted about only 20 mintues, unlike what Ms. Jackson told you."
Jou blinked, truly confused.
"I got the ring, cost me a hefty sum of 40 grand, and here it is."saying, Seto pulled out a drawer from his desk and took out a black box. He held it up to Jou, but didn't open it. By this time Jou was really confused, and he couldn't see why Seto looked so nervous and exicited at the same time.
Seto gestured for Jou to get up, he complied, looking at his koi strangely as he stood in front of him, box in hand. He wanted to see the ring, see what Mr. Otikai thought was so glamourus that he just had to charge Seto 40,00 smackeronies to get.
"Jounouchi Katsuya,"Jou was a little angered by his full name being pronouced,"I have known you for 9 months."
"9 months, three day, 8 hours, and 86 minutes. But who's counting?"Jou joked bitterly.
Seto looked serious, though,"And even though we used to be enimies, fighting like cats and...er…you know, I have looked pass that and saw the beautiful person you are. You make me laugh, you keep me from bouncing off the walls, and Mokuba loves you. I love you most of all, of course...I'd die for you. And so, I ask you, Jou,"Seot bent down on one knee, holding the box up to him and opening it,"will you marry me?"
Jou was shocked. A huge rock, no, moutain was nestled in the box, gleaming with the ray of sunshine that leaked through the open window. His heart pounded in his chest as he gazed from Seto's loving sahpire eyes to the gleaming diamond in the box. Tears collected in his eyes.
"YES! YES, YES, YES! OF COURSE! O god! Wow! Seto! Seto!"Jou bent down and threw his arms around Seto's neck, pressing his lips and agaisnt Seto's rose petal soft ones. Seto's arms wrapped around his waist, kissing back with equal love.
When they pulled away, Seto took out the ring and took Jou's hand in his. Jou was shaking with excitement, then broke down into tears of joy when the ring was slipped on his ring finger. He leaned on Seto's chest, soaking his shirt.
"I love you…but how do you put up with me? I just poured coffe over you balls."the question came out of the blue, Jou knew he shouldn't have been asking such silly questions.
Seto laughed, his chest rumbling,"Because if you weren't crazy and jealous driven you wouldn't be so special. Babe, you're…well...you're…you're so…you're very, very…I don't know what you are exactlly but I do know one thing."
"What?"Jou looked at Seto and was caught in a chaste kiss.
"I like it. I like it a lot."
