Praise Chorus

Disclaimer: Don't own characters or song..... Although it would cool if I did....

[A month after 'Passion']



"I feel stupid, but i think i been catchin' on... I feel ugly - but i know i still turn you on."

Yami grinned as he came into the small kitchen, seeing the back of his friend as Jou continued the dishes, completely unaware of the Pharaoh entering. Yami went to the stereo and changed the station quickly.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Jimmy Eat World's new song: 'A Praise Chorus'!" The Yami smiled, as the song was one of his favorites, and also one of Jou's.

Jou looked over at Yami and grinned... "Lead or back-up Yami?"

"Back-up.... I don't have a high enough voice for lead."

"Here we go then..." The song started in a quick, light beat. "Are you gonna live your life wonderin' standing in the back lookin' around?" Jou put his attentiobn back to washing the dishes and singing. "Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you've grown up or how you missed out?"

Yami moved to the fridge, hips swaying to the song's rhythm... "Good things are never gonna be the way you want. Where's it gonna get you acting serious." Jou continued to sing, as his and Yami's eyes caught eachother. Going back to his dishwashing, his alto voice fulled the room again. "Good things are never gonna be quite what you want, even at twenty-five, you gotta start sometime!"

Yami picked up the chorus as Jou's voice dropped off. "I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go." Yami picked up the bag of vegetables that were to be used for dinner. "Now all I need is just to here a song I know." Yami stood next to Jou at the sink and started to wash the vegetables as he sang: "I wanna always feel like part of this was mine." He bumped his and Jou's hips together (No hentai's!! They're just friends!) and pretended to fall back. "I wanna fall in love tonight!" Jou laughed as he pulled Yami back into standing postion.

"Are you gonna live your life, standing in the back, looking around." Jou imediateley took the alto part in their little duet as Yami took tenor. They blended harmoniously as they continued. "Are you gonna waste you time, gotta make a move or you'll miss out!"

Yami moved himself, the vegetables and a parring knife to the opposite conter as Jou continued. "Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about, stick around nostalgia won't let you down." Yami glanced at his friend and smiled. Jou really did have a wonderful voice. "Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about."

Yami caught the sight of movement as Jou continued, obivious to the ice blue eyes and the open mouth of Seto as he walked into the room. He was not expecting that it was Jou he had heard singing.

"What'cha gonna have to say for yourself!" Jou never looked back at the two other men, he was too intent on the dishes and the song.

"I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go." Yami motioned for Seto go come over to him. "Now all I is need is just to hear a song I know." Signaling with his hands as he continued to sing, he motioned to Seto to stay quiet by putting a finger to his lips as he sang, "I wanna feel like part of this was mine, I wanna fall in love tonight."

Seto moved back to the shadows of the doorway as Jou finished the dishes and and started to help Yami cut up the vegetables for the stew.

"Crimson and clover, over and over." Yami started to sing again, looking at Jou sideways. The blond met his gaze. "Crimson and clover, over and over. Crimson,"

"Our house in the middle of the street,"

"And clover."

"Why did we ever meet."

"Over,"

"Started my rock 'n roll fantasy."

"And over."

"Don't, don't, don't lets start,"

"And clover,"

Seto got a wicked idea. Queitly as he could, he moved to the other enterance which, conveniently, was toward the back of the kitchen and to Jou and Yami's backs.

"Over," Yami grinned, his sharp hearing picking up Seto's movement easily.

"Kick start my rock 'n rollin' heart."

"And over." Yami tapped Jou on the shoulder and motioned towards Seto. Glancing behind him, and noticed the man trying to sneak up on him.

"I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go!" Both sang passionately. Then the two men singing whipped around and each grabbed one of Seto's shoulders with both hands.

"So come on Davey, sing me something that I know!" Seto started badly at the suddeness of their movement and pinned Jou against the counter.

"I wanna feel like part of this was mine," both continued. "I wanna fall in love tonight."

Jou threw back his head. "Here tonight!"

"I wanna fall in love tonight..." Seto and Yami chorused.

"Here tonight!"

"I wanna always feel like part of this was mine... I wanna fall in love tonight."

Seto kissed Jou hard and Yami busted up laughing. "Nearly gave me a heart attack Jou!" Seto said breathlessly once he broke the kiss.

"Well you were gonna scare me first you sneaky bastard! Isn't that right Yami!"

Yami just raised his hands in mock defence. "I'm staying out of this!" Yami replied, still laughing.

"Well you're a lot of help!" Jou grinned. "Ah fuck it. I'm hungry and we still gotta finish dinner!"

Seto kissed Jou's nose. "I'll go get Yugi... You're a great singer Jou! You should do it more often."

"And you're biased lovely. Now go get Yugi."

And as Jou and Yami continued dinner preperations, Seto whispered as he left, "I may be, but that's only because I love you honey." But Jou never heard it.

Owari!
