"Something There"

Summary: Jou notices 'something there' about Seto…*Jou/Seto*

Notes: I was humming this to myself this morning and was wondering what it was…Well, I found the lyrics and thought it would be cute for a Seto/Jou song fic, so—without further ado, I bring you, "Something There," by The Yu-Gi-Oh Cast.

Jou frowned as he walked down the cobble stone path, towards the Kaiba Mansion.

It had seemed that he had been there a millennia ago as he approached the open terrace.

He was about to knock upon the hard wood of the rather large door, when the flutter of a feather passed his path.

Tilting his head thoughtfully, the blonde turned slowly to find a lone figure out and about in the snow.

Chestnut brown hair wafted through the breeze as the man stood gloriously, clad in a pair of boots, pants, a turtleneck, and his infamous navy trench coat.

A grin passed by the blonde's features as he hurriedly made his way down the stairs, keeping himself silent as he did so.

The blonde made for the man, but was abruptly stopped as he watched him pull something from one of his deep pockets.

A handful of pebbles, was it?

The blonde's grin had now become much softer as he watched a few white birds descend upon the man's offering. Birdseed.

~There's something sweet…~

The blonde gazed, his ocher eyes melting at the sight.

~And…almost kind. ~

He'd chuckled as the figure yelped and swatted at one of the birds, which had apparently nipped at his finger.

Flaxen brows had furrowed as the blonde made a face at memories of the past.

~But he was mean, and he was coarse, and unrefined…~

Jou shook his head to rid him of those thoughts as he once again focused on this new person.

~And now he's dear…and so unsure…~

The blonde's eyes had widened as the other turned, focused on returning inside, only to stop and take in the sight of the blonde before him.

~I wonder why I didn't see it there before…~

Jou sent him a smile.

****

~He glanced this way. ~

His sight was alluring Seto to wrap his arms around Jou's apparently cold form, blonde bangs glinting in the sun. Just like spun gold.

~I thought I saw…~

Seto's own brows furrowed. Jou's smile was somehow different…

It wasn't forced.

~And when we touched, he didn't shudder at my paw…~

A sudden gust of wind brought both out of their thoughts, as Seto got up the nerve to near his secret sweetheart.

"Hi." Jou had smiled, running a slender hand through his thin hair.

"Hello." Seto had replied, awkwardly placing a hand upon Jou's flushed cheek.

'He's so warm…' Thought the brunette, as he was surprised to find Jou leaning into his touch, rather than brushing him away.

~No it can't be. ~

Taking his hand back quickly, he held it to his chest as if he had been burnt, causing Jou to look on, surprised.

His sudden change caused the said blonde to reach his own hand up timidly, brushing against Seto's bare chin.

~I'll just ignore. ~

Seto closed his eyes before moving out of Jou's reach.

~But then he's never looked at me that way before…~

Seto's cerulean eyes glanced in Jou's direction; his amber eyes seemed to reach deep into his soul, distracting him of the outside world in reality.

Then, as if it had been the answer to both of their prayers, Jou brought his arms to wrap around Seto's waist, and then cautiously, he brought himself to lean against his body.

****

~New…and a bit…alarming~

Were the words that were invading his mind as he felt Seto's silent struggles, as the other shifted nervously from foot to foot.

~Who'd have ever thought that this could be? ~

Jou slowly shifted himself in a more comfortable position as he tilted his head to look Seto in the eye.

Seto had been harboring a fearful expression when Jou had looked upon him, causing him to chuckle.

~True that he's no Prince Charming. ~

Jou smiled as the fearfulness of the situation slowly dispersed, replaced by a look of hope.

The blonde had then reached up and ran his hand through the brunette's silky hair.

~But there's something in him that I simply didn't see…~

Seto smiled as well, his hand going back to it's place by Jou's cheek, caressing its flawless surface, and protecting him from the biting chill, as snow flakes began to descend upon the land.

"Well, who'd have thought?" Mokuba questioned looking to the others as they peeked out from behind the largeness of the Kaiba Mansion's entrance door.

"Well, bless my soul…" Anzu had murmured, a gloved hand placed upon her heart.

"Well, who'd have known?" Honda inquired looking to Otogi, who smiled in turn.

"Well, who indeed?" Otogi questioned back, a finger poking Honda's nose playfully.

"And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?" Smiled Yugi who looked to Yami, whose focus was on Seto and Jou. It was then that Yugi had known that his Yami was wondering about love yet again.

"It's so peculiar. Wait and see?" Yami smiled awkwardly, looking down at his light, before timidly wrapping an arm about the smaller boy.

"We'll wait and see." Yugi nodded eagerly, blushing from the contact.

"A few days more." Mokuba concluded, offering his friends a nod.

"There may be something there that wasn't there before…" Otogi took his time to smile, while elegantly wrapping a strand of his own ebony hair twirling about his finger.

"You know, perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before." Honda looked to Otogi, agreeing to his thoughts on the couple.

"Let's go back inside…it's chilly." Anzu whispered as the others had agreed.

Mokuba nodded, smiling to his brother as the others were reentering the mansion.

"We'll wait and see…" He whispered to himself, his smile becoming vibrant as he watched his brother lean down and capture the blonde's lips in a mutual passion.

"There may be something there that wasn't there before." Mokuba nodded to the couple once more before walking back into his house as well, leaving the older Kaiba and his puppy at peace.

There must be something there that wasn't there before…
