I do not own Yugioh


It was the day of the Holiday party. The final details were being set in place and Seto Kaiba was a man in his element. Jou watched as Seto moved through the chaos like the eye of a hurricane, a place of calm among all the madness. "You can not put that monstrosity in front of the fire exit! The fire marshal will have my head!" Seto's voice snapped through the air like a whip, sharp and swift. Jou looked at who the brunet was yelling then looking at the play area Seto was having set up for the children. He looked around the room then went over to the brunet. He laid his hand on the small of Seto's back then pointed to the area by the huge windows that looked over the garden of trees that were being wrapped in white twinkle lights. "Move the play village over here by the windows. Move those tables over there to make room." Seto shouted directing the various groups setting up. The people snapped to do as the brunet said. Jou turned as a hand settled on his shoulder. He nodded writing a check handing it over to their liquor distributor he then made a note on his clipboard.

"Seto we have three more accounts to settle. The final payment to the caterers, the flowers, and the guys setting up the lights. The food is being delivered shortly so they can get set up I got the call to confirm about an hour ago. The alcohol has been delivered. The stuff that needs to be chilled is in the fridge the other items are ready to be opened once the party starts. I double checked the order and we got everything." Jou said going over the list he had.

Heaving a heavy sigh Seto looked at Jou with a nod. He was more than half tempted to grab the blond and kiss him. "Jou, you have been amazing. I'll settle the account with the flower shop. I know the owners." He said softly running a hand though his hair.

"Go sit down for a bit. You look like you are about to fall over. When is the last time you slept?" Jou asked softly running his hand down Seto's back.

Heaving a heavy sigh Seto looked at Jou shaking his head. "I'll sleep when this season is over. Just a few more days." Seto muttered softly.

"Yeah that's great. Go sit and watch for a bit. I can handle things for a while. If I need anything I will come grab you." Jou muttered softly giving the brunet a gentle push toward the row of chairs that were being set up. The brunet staggered over flopping down into a chair. Jou shook his head watching Seto for a bit.

"You've been really good for him." A soft voice behind Jou said. Jou turned looking at Mokuba Kaiba who stood looking at his brother fondly. "He listens to you. You are the only one who has ever cared enough to make sure he eats and rests. My brother is a temperamental, stubborn, rude, grumpy, pain in the ass...but I love him. I'm just glad I'm not the only one that cares for him. Thank you for taking care of him. Thank you for caring about him." Mokuba said softly rolling his eyes and shaking his head as he looked at his brother.

Jou followed Mokuba's line of sight to the now sleeping Seto Kaiba. He then looked to the young man at his side. "He needs to learn when to let others help." Jou sighed taking off his jacket walking over to Seto gently wrapping it about the sleeping brunet. Seto Kaiba may have been a man in his element but he was also an exhausted man. Jou gently stroked Seto's hair as the brunet let out a little moan leaning into his touch.

"Let me know when he learns that." Mokuba muttered under his breath watching as Jou walked over to his brother. It broke his heart to see his brother lean into Jou's touch. He knew his brother had very little love in his life. He knew that Seto loved Jou. He just hoped that maybe Jou was starting to see Seto, the kind, gentle, caring, loving man that Mokuba knew under the cold, bitter, cruel CEO Kaiba.

Jou fixed his tie for the billionth time with a sneer then heaved a heavy sigh giving up. "DAD!" He yelled going into the hall from his small room. It was the night of the Holiday party and Jou was a bit of a mess.

Jou's father came out of his own room tied his son's tie then gave him a smile brushing some imaginary lint from his shoulders. "You look handsome. I'm very proud of you Katsuya. Are you happy? I mean we are doing so well now but I don't want to pressure you into keeping a job if you aren't happy. You've done so much for me. You picked me up from my lowest point and you took care of me. I can't ever repay you but I'd like to try. If you aren't happy don't worry about the money. I'll figure it out. You've just seemed sad lately." He said looking at his son. Jou gave him a sad smile.

"I am happy dad. I love my job. It just sucks because I'm also in love with my boss. It makes things hard. He hasn't pressured me in to anything so don't get the wrong idea. He would never pressure me. It was easier when I thought I hated him. Being in love sucks. Being in love with your boss who you aren't sure is gay or if he would even think of you that way added with the pressure of how fucked up things could get not just personally but also on a work front sucks more. I'm just trying to sort it all out. All I know is I love him. For now that is enough for me." Jou said looking down at the floor. He had never told his father he was gay. He was secretly hoping the man took it well. He hated himself for how he sprung it on his father but he needed some one to talk to. Someone who wasn't his lovey dovey friends.

Looking at his son the elder Jounouchi heaved a sigh. "I'm sure it is hard. I'm also sure you'll figure things out. Perhaps once the holidays are over we can have both our bosses over for dinner. Maybe it will give you a chance to sort things out with out being under so much pressure." He said gently. His son gave him a dazzling smile. He smiled at his son.

There was a knock on the door, Jou turned gave his father one last smile then walked to the front door. He gave Mokuba Kaiba a small smile looking the young man over. "You look great kid."

Rolling his eyes Mokuba looked Jou over carefully. The blond looked really handsome. He knew his brother would barely be able to keep his eyes or hands to himself. "So do you. Seto is at the place getting last minuet things in place. He told me to come get you." Mokuba said softly looking at the blond.

"He like this every year?" Jou asked with a small smirk.

"Do you mean a complete and utter wreck? Then the answer is yes." Laughing Jou turned waving to his dad then leaving with the younger Kaiba. Jou felt a thrill of excitement in his chest at the prospect of seeing Seto dressed his finest.

The car ride was quiet as they pulled in front of the building the party was being held. Only a few other cars had started to arrive. Jou got out taking note of all the glittering lights that decorated every tree. "Wow!" Jou had seen the people setting them up but it was very different seeing all the trees lit up. "It is like a fairy tale." Jou breathed softly.

"That is what I was going for." Seto's smooth voice rang out. Jou turned slightly looking at the fairy king himself. Seto Kaiba was dressed to kill in a trim fitting tuxedo. He felt his mouth go a bit dry as he looked at the brunet.

Jou stood there unable to form words the brunet looked so damn sexy. "You look very handsome Jounouchi. Mokuba I need you for a minuet before the guests fully start to arrive. Jou, go in, get warm, grab a drink, get settled. I'll find you later." Seto said softly. Jou gave an absent nod watching the brunet walk off. Jou was in serious danger. His heart already belonged to the brunet. If Jou fell any further he would gladly give his everything to the brunet. Shaking himself Jou headed inside. Jou's mouth fell open as they walked into the room. Everything was lit with small twinkling lights, soft floating fabrics, fresh flowers, and soft lighting. The kids play place was a small fairy forest. "This is stunning." Jou said gasping softly.

Jou sat eating watching the people of the party. He was really watching Seto Kaiba. The nap had done the brunet a world of good. The brunet was full of his usual grace and social grace. Jou loved watching Seto Kaiba in his element. The brunet was talking, shaking hands, and being everything a good boss should be. The brunet was stunning and Jou fell a little harder.

Seto walked over to Jou pulling a simple white envelope handing it to the blond. "Happy Holidays Jounouchi." Seto said taking a seat suddenly exhausted.

Jou tore open the envelope pulling out the check on the inside. He blinked at the numbers on the check. "What is this?" He asked looking at the brunet who gave him a tiny smirk.

"Your Holiday bonus. You've worked so hard on this party and on everything else. None of this would have gotten done with out you. I likely would have have lost my mind and ended up in the hospital twice or more if not for you. A few of those times would have been due to my little brother kicking my ass for not taking care of myself. You deserve every cent. I think you deserve more but there is only so much money for bonuses and there are a lot of employees." Seto said with a small amused smirk.

Looking at the check for fifty-thousand dollars in his hand Jou gave a nod. He could get a house. He could put the down payment on a house for him and his father. Between their two paychecks they could easily make payments even when Seto cut his pay in half for school. "Thank you. Seto this will change my life. You've already given me so much. Thank you." Jou whispered. He leaned over kissing Seto on the cheek.

It Christmas eve and Yugi's party was in full swing. Yugi looked at his best friend leaning lightly against him. "Who you waiting for?" He asked softly.

Heaving a small sigh Jou looked down at the small gift in his hand then to his best friend. "Seto." He said softly his cheeks flushing softly. Yugi gave him a warm smile then walked off. Jou decided just to have a good time with his friends.

Seto was exhausted but he had made it to Yugi's party. His brother and Jou had both begged him to come. He had pushed himself to finish everything he needed to, all to make it to this party. He opened the door and Yugi skipped over to him grinning brightly. "Seto, glad you could make it. Jou was looking for you he's..." Yugi stood on his toes.

"He's asleep on the couch I see him. Thank you." Seto said softly. He walked over to the blond gently shaking Jou awake. Big brown eyes fluttered open. He gave the blond a soft look gently stroking hair from Jou's face. "I heard you were looking for me." Seto whispered softly.

Jou looked at the stunning brunet he was secretly, desperately in love with. He leaned forward kissing Seto Kaiba. He smiled sleepily handing over the little gift. "Merry Christmas." He muttered softly. He reached up stroking Seto's face. "You're beautiful."

Seto smirked at the blond then looked down at the little gift in his hands. He hadn't gotten a gift in years. Mokuba tried, but his little brother was young. He carefully opened the sloppily wrapped gift. Inside sat a stunning little crystal dragon. He pulled it out letting it catch the light. He gently nudged Jou awake once more then leaned over kissing the blond softly. "Thank you. It is amazing. You are amazing and beautiful." The blond gave him a sleepy smile snuggling back into the couch falling asleep. Seto stood looking at the beautiful blond.

Yugi watched the scene between Jou and Seto play out. The brunet still looked lonely and forlorn but when Seto was with Jou he glowed with happiness. It made Yugi just a little sad that Jou would most likely forget the soft moment with Seto Kaiba.

Sighing tiredly Seto walked over to his brother kissing his head. "Have fun. Be home tomorrow morning. Goodnight." He said giving his brother a small hug. He called his driver then headed home. He hung the tiny crystal dragon on the light next to his bed. It would be the last thing he looked at every night before he went to bed. He felt a small smile curve his lips as his fingers lightly brushed over the sparkling crystal dragon.

Jou woke to a knock on his door. He rolled over staggering to the door. He opened it up glaring at the chipper looking man standing before him. He was handed an envelope that he took signing the paper. He tore it open looking at the letter.

My beloved Jounouchi,

Merry Christmas! Today was the day I had originally planned on starting your gifts however my heart would not let me wait. I hope this letter finds you well. I know this is an oddly small gesture compared to the other gifts I have given you but I wanted to get you something you love. I hope you enjoy the gift.

All my love

Your Secret Kiss.

Jou looked at the booklet full of coupons for Burger World. He smiled warmed by the gesture. He then crawled into his bed covered in the huge soft 'Red Eyes Black Dragon' blanket Seto had given him as a friendly gift. He nuzzled his face into the warm blanket with a heavy sigh. He was confused. He wanted to find out who was giving him these kind wonderful gifts. He also wanted to tie Seto Kaiba down on this blanket and make crazy passionate love to the stunning brunet. He then remembered the soft warm kiss the brunet had given him just last night. He wanted Seto Kaiba. That was what he really wanted.
