Chapter 35, Piece 9 * * * * * * * *

In the middle of the night, Kaiba sat up. Sleep wasn't coming. Jounouchi, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly. Ambient light from outside allowed Kaiba to see his peaceful face.

"You don't believe I'm captivated by you, you don't believe you're extraordinary. If I said I loved you would you believe that?" He sighed. He watched Jounouchi sleep for a while.

His lips looked soft. Moist. Kissable. One kiss. He was asleep. He would never know. And it wouldn't count - it would be stolen. No one would ever know. One more secret. What's one more with all the secrets in the House of Kaiba?

Uncle kept far more than a single kiss secret. Those 'kisses' would have been much better with Jounouchi. And in fairness, Uncle hadn't lied; it did stop hurting. Eventually. He was bigger now. Maybe it wouldn't hurt at all. Maybe he could share those kinds of 'kisses' with Jou.

Was this sexual desire? Kaiba had not seemed to suffer from the same blind hormonal irrationalities that his age mates constantly seemed to suffer. He didn't long for anyone, he didn't harbor any fetish, he never masturbated. In general, that had been a benefit. In truth, Kaiba had already begun investigating the possibility that he was genuinely asexual. Uncle had thought so, with Kaiba's consistent lack of sexual response. But what he was experiencing now, and his clear arousal toward Jou, dispelled that idea. Kaiba could scarcely breathe at the mere thought of touching Jounouchi.

It was the middle of the night. Everyone was asleep. No one would know. Kaiba moved before he could think better of the idea.

His lips connected to Jou's almost before he knew it.

They were soft. And warm. Pliable. They opened easily when Kaiba probed with his tongue. Jou moaned softly in his sleep.

The sound was like an electric current pulsing through Kaiba's nerves in a way that nothing had ever done before. He couldn't think, couldn't do anything but quiver. He had, of course, read about orgasms. He'd helped his uncle have many. But that had not prepared him to feel one.

More, he thought, I want more.

His robe was in the way, as were Jounouchi's shorts. Kaiba moved closer. So close that their bodies were touching, skin to skin. Jounouchi moaned again. Kaiba felt the vibration through their lips and the points where their bodies connected - their nipples, their abdomens, their shafts.

Uncle's shaft was always stiff before they started, so Kaiba had never had to prepare him; although he had heard the process alluded to, he'd never done it. Jounouchi's shaft seemed only partially stiffened. Kaiba felt yet another thrill as he slid his hand over Jou's hip and around the boy's round butt. Jounouchi's shaft jumped against Kaiba's and this time it was he who moaned into their kiss.
