A whirl of fallen snowflakes wafted past amber eyes as Jou made his way down the cold street.
No one was outside, except for him. Jou had sighed, assuming everyone was inside for a Christmas Dinner.
His mind wandered back towards the harsh words Kaiba had thrown at him earlier and had then stormed into Kaiba Corp, which could now be seen by the overhang of trees up ahead, a large mass of snow separated him from where Seto was now.
His new lover had been acting strangely this past week, ignoring his pleads to find what had been upsetting his newest infatuation. But, Seto had merely brushed him aside, claiming everything was fine, in an offensive way.
Jou stopped in his tracks, his ocher eyes drifting to the snow blanketed ground.
[Now, don't just walk away
Pretending everything's ok..
And you don't care about me.
And I know there's just no use
when all your lies become your truths and I don't care]
Jou sighed again, spotting the protrusion of a rock from beneath the snows depths, and taking a seat on its cold, flat surface, he brought his knees to meet his chest in an attempt to keep warm.
[Could you look me in the eye
and tell me that you're happy now?
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?]
Jou thought of Seto's solemn indigo glare he had received earlier that morning.
With his face screwing up in an emotional pain, he rested his head tiredly against his knees, his gloved hands tracing over his frozen ears.
[You took all there was to take,
and left with an empty plate,
and you don't care about it, yeah.
And I, I've given up this game
I'm leaving you with all the blame cause I don't care.]
Jou's clouded eyes narrowed slightly.
*Flashback*
A shivering Jou waited silently outside of Kaiba Corp's main entrance, his back leaning tiredly against the smooth surface of the towering building.
He sighed, the heat from his breath producing a small whiff of cloud.
"I told you to do it. I don't care for your perspective on the matter. No! You're fired!" Came a familiar voice as the sound of the sliding doors of the building came to Jou's ears.
"Seto!" Jou called, approaching the stoop of the building, a dirtied sneaker on the first of the steps leading to the two large glass doors. Seto, who now stood before the doors closed his cell phone with a sharp snap, causing Jou to wince inwardly. He knew it would end up like the other fights they had seemed to endure this past week.
"Mutt? What are you doing here?" Came Seto's monotonous voice, stinging Jou's ears.
"I-I came to see you. With Christmas 'n all." Jou grinned, now digging in his pants pocket only to produce a small wrapped gift, extending his arm.
Seto glanced at the gift in attendance and scoffed.
"I have work to do." He'd snarled exiting into the office building, leaving a shocked Jou in his bitter wake.
*End Flashback*
Jou squeezed his eyes shut, a tear escaping, trailing down his reddened nose.
[Could you look me in the eye?
And tell me that you're happy now?
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?]
'Do you really have everything you want? You could never give something you ain't got---You can't run away from yourself..' Jou thought desolately.
Jou stood at the sound of a motorcycle, straightening his pant leg; he lifted a branch from the old oak.
Spotting Tristan's bike coming to a stop across the large plane of snow, where there had once been grass.
With taking off his helmet, Tristan looked towards Jou, a sympathetic smile gracing his lips.
[Could you look me in the eye?
and tell me that you're happy now,
come on tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?]
Tristan was just stepping off his bike as Jou approached him.
"I told you he was a jerk.." Tristan stated quietly as Jou stood before him, his hands stuffed in his pockets as he stared at the ground glumly.
"Come on, let's go get some pizza? What do ya say?" Tristan playfully, and lightly punched Jou's arm, causing him to look up.
Nodding silently, Jou was handed an extra helmet and climbed up on the bike after Tristan, hugging his best friend close, he leaned his head on his back for a sense of comfort.
His hands tightened into fists around Tristan's leather jacket.
[Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I've had that all I can take
And I'm about to break
Cause I'm happy now.]
Tristan glanced over his shoulder at Jou's depressing face, as he had then snuggled deeper into his back.
The two rode off into the empty streets of Domino City, none aware of the saddening azure eyes watching them.
[Are you happy now?]
Seto stepped awkwardly away from his office window and stiffly sat in his plush leather chair.
He looked to the long velvet box sitting lonely in the middle of his cheery- oak desk, its tag displaying Jou's name, written in his own neat characters.
With stuffing the black box in the back of one of his desk drawers, he buried his head in his hands, as a string of apologies escaped from his quivering lips.
((A/N: If you're going to ask me what I was thinking when I wrote this.. Don't. Cause I'm not so sure myself ^^;;;. Well, anyways, thanks for reading! Review me? *hopeful gaze*))
