I had a lot of fun with this part. Because as much fun as SetoxJou is... man, it was time to mix it up a little. ^^ And cause Whore!Otogi some trouble...
Not According to Plan
Otogi decided that his first date would be with Seto and Jounouchi. After all, if Seto was kept waiting he'd probably blow a gasket, and Otogi was trying to accommodate everyone. As far as bringing Jounouchi along for the first date, he assumed that they would get along just fine if they were forced to get to know each other. So he decided on dinner and movie. It was cliché, but it was the perfect "get to know each other" situation.
He didn't count on the fact that Seto and Jounouchi hated each other. He assumed that if he were along for the ride, they would both calm down enough to see the virtues in each other… And unfortunately, that wasn't quite how things went. They were both too damn stubborn to put aside their differences, even for him. The whole thing was a fiasco.
During dinner Seto and Jounouchi kept finding subtle ways to mock each other; Seto ridiculed Jounouchi for his jeans and t-shirt, and Jounouchi found a way to give Seto shit for his eating habits (although even Otogi found it interesting how Seto managed to eat like he thought his food was poisoned). Otogi felt more like a referee than a date, trying his best to make sure the two didn't come to blows before the night was over. By the time that they got to the movie theater, Otogi was exhausted and wished work would call him in to free him from his two cranky counterparts.
Unfortunately, his cell phone was silent, and as they waited for the movie to start things only got worse. Otogi was sitting between the blond and the brunet - a position he usually would have loved - when Seto suddenly started gently winding one of Otogi's stray strands of hair around his index finger. "Does he ever scream for you, mutt?"
"Eh?" Jounouchi asked, and Otogi blushed, sinking down into his seat. That was the last thing he needed those two to talk about.
"Can you make Otogi scream?" Seto elaborated with a smirk. "Or does he have you howling on all fours?"
In any other situation, Otogi might have made a joke about it, but now was not a time for jokes… Oh god, was Jounouchi twitching? That couldn't possibly be good. Otogi closed his eyes, expecting some sort of gruesome murder to unfold before his eyes.
"Does he ever go to you for anything besides sex?" Jounouchi challenged. "There's more to Otogi than a nice ass and a charming smile; he's deep." Otogi opened an eye; hey, that was a nice thing of Jounouchi to say… and both his dates were still alive… Maybe now they would-
"In more ways than one."
Otogi blushed, his face so hot that he wondered if he could fry eggs on it. Nope, it didn't look like Jounouchi's sweeter side had melted Seto's exterior.
"You're vulgar," Jounouchi snapped. "I can't believe-"
"Shh!" Otogi ordered, noting with relief that the lights around the theater were dimming. "The movie's starting!" There. His troubles were over, and, after the movie, so would this insane date.
It wasn't that easy. Halfway through the movie Jounouchi apparently got bored, because he started to place kisses along Otogi's jaw, hand running along his thigh. Otogi might have indulged in it hadn't been for the low growl coming from the teen in the seat beside him, followed by Seto leaning over and whispering, "Back off, mutt."
"Fuck you," Jounouchi retorted, his hand moving lower between Otogi's legs, caressing him through the fabric of his jeans. Otogi jumped as Seto touched his cheek, forcing him to turn into a kiss, his lips sufficiently claimed as one hand moved along his shirt, pinching and teasing a nipple through the fabric. Damn it, any other day…
Otogi pushed them both to the side, standing up quickly. "Ah, cell phone," he lied, excusing himself. He heard Seto and Jounouchi toss insults at each other has he escaped to the lobby.
Oh, to hell with those two! They were both too competitive to get along. If all Otogi's plans did - by chance - go well, he would have to keep them separated. Otogi took a moment to catch his breath and prepare his lie to leave. When he returned to their seats - with every intention of saying that he had to work - he found an usher scolding Seto and Jounouchi. "What happened?" he asked quietly, coming up behind the usher.
"These two were arguing, causing a disturbance," the irritated man answered, glaring at Seto and Jounouchi.
"Ah, I'm sorry, sir," Otogi said, using all the charm he possessed. The man must have been made of ice, because he looked at Otogi as if he was a bug. "Well, boys, work beckons. I think we'll have to call this a night, okay?"
Jounouchi was up and out of the theater before Otogi could even say goodbye. Seto nodded curtly and turned to the movie. Otogi knew that expression: it was the "lay a hand on me and I'll make you wish you were never born" look. So there went the prospect of a goodnight kiss. Otogi smiled at the disgruntled usher and left. He saw Jounouchi walking through the parking lot. Hey, maybe there was still a chance for that kiss… "Jou!" he called, and the blond turned to look at him. Otogi caught up to him easily. "You want a ride home?"
Jounouchi shook his head. "Nah, it's a nice night; I'll walk."
"You sure?"
A nod. "Yea."
Otogi grinned, and wrapped his arms around Jounouchi's waist. "Then how about a kiss goodnight before I have to go to work?"
Jounouchi smiled and leaned against Otogi, lips meeting Otogi's eagerly. Otogi deepened the kiss, stealing a quick taste of Jounouchi before the other teen pulled away, still smiling. "Goodnight, Otogi," he said softly, unwinding himself from Otogi's embrace. Otogi watched him walk away with a content smile. Shaking his head slightly, he went to his car, intent on going home and taking a long bath to unwind and relax.
After all, he had a date the next night to prepare for.
