Jou lay in the warm sunlight streaming in through the large windows his fingers running lazily through Seto's hair. His lover's head was on his stomach as they just lay there taking in the moment. It was almost painful how perfect Jou's life felt. He had a house, his father was sober, his dad had a great job and seemed happy, he had a great job, he always had a full belly, he had money to spend, his grades were good, he got to see his sister a lot, most of all he had Seto. Their shared confession of love and making love had broken a wall he never really realized was still between them. Jou savored moments like this. Small quiet moments they were just together. So often Seto would be the one petting him and Jou love it. He loved it more when he was able to do the same for Seto. He was sure the brunet had very little affection in his life and when he poured it on the brunet Seto would melt. It made moments like this blissfully perfect. "Do you ever worry that we are too happy?" Things were blissfully perfect until his mouth went and ruined it apparently.
Laughing softly but not finding the energy to move from his spot Seto peeked at the blond who was staring up at nothing. Seto felt like a very spoiled content cat in moments like this laying in the warm sunlight the love of his life petting him. "Daily." He muttered softly a small content smile on his face.
"Really?" Jou asked looking down at his lover who seemed far too relaxed for this conversation. He was a bit surprised by Seto's answer. He had wanted his lover to tell him that they deserved this happiness. That they made this happen. He wanted Seto to make it better. Not to fill him with a new fear.
"Jou, the last time I can ever remember ever being close to this happy is when my parents sat me between them and allowed me to hold Mokuba for the first time. Not long after that it was all taken and I managed to plunge myself into hell all so I could take care of Mokuba. Being this happy terrifies me. I'm worried it will all fade like morning dew. I'm worried you'll stop loving me. I felt the same when I first took over Kaiba Corp and started to rebuild it into a gaming company. I fought for Kaiba Corp. I'll fight for you too. I'll fight for this. I'll fight for us. That makes me less worried. I'm a fighter Jou. I know you are too. If you love something you'll fight to keep it. That eases the worries. I doesn't stop them but it is good to worry. Being worried keeps you fighting. I honestly think I'd be scared if you weren't a little worried about something. We've both fought very hard to get where we are. Worry is natural." Seto sighed softly his voice relaxed. He was far to content to show the passion he actually felt for the subject. It amazed him how the simplest of touches could undo him so completely. Jou's fingers running through his hair was as close to heaven as he was sure he would ever come.
The words eased Jou's troubled heart. He had been looking for Seto to make it all better. He had been expecting empty assurances. What he got was far better. "I'd fight for you." Jou whispered softly relaxing back. The worry was still there but with knowing Seto would fight beside him they seemed easier to handle. "I love you." He sighed softly.
"I love you." Seto sighed lost in the bliss of hearing those words and just having Jou touch him. He was a sucker. He knew it. He just didn't care. "Just know if you stop what you are doing any time soon I'll bite you. I expect to spend the next hour just like this." Seto all but purred pressing his head into Jou's fingers as the blond started to massage his scalp.
As far as threats went biting was not generally that scary. Coming from Seto it was down right funny. Jou burst into laughter his fingers tightening in the fine chestnut tresses. "You're so fucking cute Seto. I hope you know that." He giggled and went back to petting his lover when blue eyes cast a small glare his way. He lay there still giggling a bit as Seto snuggled more firmly into him seeming amused and pleased. Jou loved moments like this shared with Seto where they could talk about nothing and everything all at once.
Seto rolled over on to his stomach burying his face in Jou's stomach. He opened his mouth gently play biting one of the firm abdominal muscles. Jou squealed trying to shove him off. He snickered moving so he could kiss the blond deeply. He sank into the kiss as Jou's fingers sank into his hair pulling him close.
Giving into the heated kiss Jou pulled Seto closer. He loved the brunet with all his heart and soul. Pulling from the kiss he smiled up at the brunet. "I'm starting to think it is a crime to be this happy." He whispered softly to the man he loved.
"I'll gladly arrest you, my little cuddle fish. I think I have handcuffs. We could get kinky." Seto purred nuzzling his nose against Jou's. His lover let out a little snort then burst out laughing.
"Seto Kaiba! My sweet little kola bear, I love you. Lets go get kinky." Jou purred back kissing Seto deeply. He was sure it was a crime to be this happy. If a person only had so much happiness to use in their life time Jou was sure he was using his all up. Wrapped in the arms of Seto Kaiba nothing could go wrong.
