…O…o…O…o…O…

"Are you actually asking me out?" Jou giggled as Seto smirked a bit, "Yes, I'm asking you out on a date. Don't get that into your head, mutt. Cause you'll be getting a hell lot more of those in the future!"

"Aww… do you love me that much?" Jou teased as he poked Seto in the shoulder. Seto blushed at that statement as he grabbed Jou by the shoulders and instantly kissed him. The moment they broke off, the CEO was staring at a wide-eyed puppy. "Umm… I guess that answers my question." Jou laughed softly.

"You know that I would absolutely do anything for you, right?" Seto smiled as Jou's eyes widened and blushed. "Y-yeah, I guess. But, I don't like it when you do everything for me! I mean, it's not like I'm not capable of doing things on my own too, you know!" Jou pouted.

"Heh. Where have I heard that statement before?" Seto chuckled as he brushed some part of his hair away from his face. "Eh?" Jou blinked, "Have I said that before?"

"No… but someone else did." Seto winked.

…O…o…O…o…O…

"Achoo!!!" Kazuya sneezed as he took a roll of tissue paper.

…O…o…O…o…O…

"Since we're going out tonight. I have a special place I want to show to you, Seto! A special place that even you, a multi-billionaire CEO, would never cease to be amazed of!" Jou smiled as he gave a small "v" to the CEO.

"A special place? Heh. I doubt it, puppy! Never – have I gone somewhere – that actually amazed me!" Seto mocked, crossing his arms and then playing with Jou's hair.

"Yeah? Are you sure about that?" Jou challenged.

Seto seemed uninterested for a while, but the look on Jou's face made him change his mind. "Where would that place be, pup?" Seto asked, curiosity running over him. "Ki. Mit. Su." Jou giggled as Seto grabbed him in a headlock. "Tell me, Jou, or the date is off!" Seto threatened.

"Suit yourself, Seto. It's not like I'm that excited or anything." Jou grinned. Seto pouted as he looked over at the blonde. "Fine. I'll wait for tonight." Seto finally gave up, making Jounouchi grin widely in triumph. Seto innocently smiled back.

…O…o…O…o…O…

"Jou-san! Jounouchi-san!"

Jounouchi looked over to who was calling after him. The moment he turned around, three familiar faces ran up to him. "Midori-chan…? Akira-kun…? Kazuki-san…?" Jou blinked as he stopped to look at his 'friends'.

"Jou-san! Are you all right? Of course you're not. I mean; how can you be after such an ordeal? But I'm sure you're all right now. Otherwise, why would you be in school right if you were not! How silly of me!" Akira whacked himself on the head as Jou sweat dropped. Is it just me, or does he talk to himself like this all the time? Jou thought to himself.

"Statistically, Jou has to get better. I mean, it's only a hit on the head. It's not like he's going to get a concussion or anything!" Kazuki snapped as Jou sweat dropped. Oh, don't worry about me… I'm perfectly fine! Jou thought sarcastically.

"Are you both tactless or just plain rude?!" Midori half-shouted as she fixed her glasses right above her nose. "Look, Jou. Welcome back! We're glad you're okay! We feel slightly responsible for what happened since we were the reason why you left the class in the first place!"

"U-Uh… n-not really…" Jou lied.

"Oh, you don't have to deny it! It happens all the time to us with some other students! But really, we're not here to play councilor. We're just here to inform you that our group activity will be postponed and that we're asked to sing it on stage." Midori smiled widely.

"Wh-what?" Jou gasped, "B-B-But, why??? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?!"

"No! Of course not! We actually did well. I mean; Midori, Kazuki and I, that is. This is the greatest opportunity I ever had! I had never sung in front of a lot of people before!" Akira wailed. Jou grumbled, Great! I'm stuck with these 3 clowns and I have to sing in front of a lot of people with this horrible voice!

God, what did I do to deserve this?

"Katsuya!" Jou turned around to see Seto walking closer to him.

"Seto!" Jou smiled widely as he looked back at his 3 'friends'. "Sorry, guys. Let's discuss this some other time, okay? I need to go now!" The 3 of them stayed silent as Jou left them, running towards the CEO.

"You ready, pup?" Seto asked as Jou nodded, "Can we get home first? I need to see Dad first before we go, is that okay?"

Seto nodded as he gave out a smile.

…O…o…O…o…O…

"Be sure to be back by 11, okay? You don't want me to be all alone now, do you?" Kazuya pouted like a little kid as Jou and Seto sweat dropped. "Dad! You're starting to scare me!" Jou shivered as Seto cleared his throat in agreement.

"Ehehehe! Oh yeah, take this, Katsu!" Kazuya called as he reached out to Jou's pocket and slipped in something inside. Jou's eyes widened suddenly as he gave out a small blush. "DAD!!!" Jou's head turned crimson as he realized it was a…

"You can't be too sure, you know!" Kazuya winked as he pushed the two lovers out of their apartment. "Have fun, now!" He called as he gave out a wave at them.

…O…o…O…o…O…

Jou and Seto started walking out of the apartment as they boarded Seto's limousine. "So… where are we going to go first?" Seto asked his lover as he placed his hand on top of Jou's. "Hmm… I don't know. Any place you have in mind?" Jou smiled.

"Kaiba Land?"

"BO-ring!" Jou mocked.

"Hey! That's not nice!" Seto smirked. "Hehehehe." Jou smiled widely, making Seto smile to his fullest as well. "How about the place you've been dying to see?" Jou taunted.

"Nah. That'll have to come later." Seto said, "Why don't we get to dinner first?"

"And where would that place be?" Jou asked.

"Domino Tower." (A Tokyo Tower somewhere in Domino!!! XD)

…O…o…O…o…O…

"Are you sure we're not in the wrong place?" Jou asked for the nth time as Seto dragged the blonde by the hand up towards the top of the tower. "For the last time, puppy. Yes, I'm sure. Domino Tower is the second tallest building in Domino, you know!" Seto informed.

"Yeah? What's the tallest?"

"Kaiba Corp."

Jou rolled his eyes. "I should've known." Silence suddenly befell on both teens as they continued to climb up the staircase. "It's scary here during the night, right?" Jou stated as the lovers continued walking hand-in-hand inside the dark place.

When no response came from the brunette, Jou suddenly started to feel fear around the CEO. "Seto?" Did I say something wrong to hurt his feelings or anything? Jou thought. When he didn't get any answer again, Jou called out in an annoyed tone. "Seto? What're we doing here?"

"Shh… calm down! You don't have to worry about anything." Seto said suspiciously. "Huh? What do you mean?" Jou blinked within the darkness and the next thing he knew, something caught him from both of his shoulders as he was pinned to a nearby wall.

"S-Seto! Wh-what the heck are you doing?" Jou panicked.

"Relax, Katsuya… everything's going to be fine." He could feel Seto an evil smirk on his face.

"Wh-what?!"

This was not good. Certainly not good.
