Chapter Four:
Two Days Too Late
Seto and Yuugi: Otogi knew the two didn't get along, but they had one thing in each of their personalities that could pull them together. Seto was naturally dominant, and Yuugi liked his partners to take control. Besides, after Yuugi's admission that he liked taller boys with dark hair, Seto seemed to be the natural choice to take with him. And again, it couldn't get any worse than Seto and Jounouchi; Otogi had nightmares about that for two nights in a row, and he hoped that they would go away soon.
…But just in case, Otogi decided to do something abstract and out of the public eye.
It was dark when he picked up Yuugi and Seto, and they sat silently in his backseat. At least silence meant that they weren't arguing, though a few glances in his rearview mirror showed that Seto looked slightly unhappy… then again, Seto almost always looks slightly unhappy, so Otogi let it pass. It was a 10-minute drive a secluded dirt road, and then another 5 minutes down that road until it ended at a field. Otogi drove a little out onto the grass before parking the car. He stepped out and looked at his dates in the backseat.
"What's this?" Seto asked as Otogi opened the backdoor. Yuugi squealed with delight, already getting out of the car and looking up in awe. Otogi chuckled and went to his trunk, unlocking it and popping it open. He retrieved a blanket and two bottles: wine and some fancy juice in a bottle (since Seto had made it quite clear on several occasions that he didn't drink). As Otogi went to lay the blanket a few feet away from the car, Yuugi ran to him and wrapped his arms around Otogi's waist.
"Thank you!" he said excitedly, and Otogi patted his head with a smile, gesturing for Yuugi to sit on the blanket. Yuugi did so, and grinned even wider as Otogi handed him the wine. "You're the greatest!" He unscrewed the bottle and took a sip, staring up at the stars.
"Mind explaining this to me? I seem to be the only one at a loss here," Seto asked, standing beside Otogi. Otogi gestured up the night sky. Since there were no streetlights nearby and the night was clear, there were millions of little blazing lights filling the sky.
"Stargazing; you can see all the stars here, since it's away from the lights. I brought some wine." Otogi sat on the blanket beside Yuugi, setting the second bottle between his knees and leaning back on his arms. He looked up to the glittering sky.
"I don't drink," Seto said distastefully, and Otogi saw out of his peripheral vision that Seto sat down. "You know that."
Otogi handed Seto the other bottle. "Non-alcoholic. But the wine if here, if you change your mind."
Otogi found in relaxing to be in a setting where he wasn't being pressed for talk. On one side Yuugi looked entranced, sipping from the bottle nestled between his knees a little too often for comfort. Otogi had seen Yuugi drunk once; it had been hilarious, but this wasn't the time for drunken hilarity. Still, he had to wait a little while to let the atmosphere settle in before he made any moves. Finally, after nearly an hour of silent stargazing, Otogi leaned down and kissed Yuugi, tongue dipping into the other's mouth to catch the faint aftertaste of wine. Then, with a small noise of protest from Yuugi, Otogi moved to nibble lightly on Seto's ear. "You should taste him," Otogi whispered.
"Huh?" Seto asked somewhat disjointedly, but already Otogi had moved back to Yuugi and started kissing his neck, hand moving to rub the straining bulge in Yuugi's pants. Yuugi moaned and tilted his head back.
"You'd like Yuugi, I bet," Otogi continued, talking to Seto. "He likes to be submissive; isn't that right, Yuugi?" Yuugi groaned softly, nodding absently. Otogi chuckled, moving to Yuugi's side. The tri-haired boy's was still tilted back, supported by Otogi's hand. His eyes were closed, his lips parted ever so slightly. "Go ahead," Otogi offered. It sort of felt like he was giving Yuugi over as some sort of sacrifice; the pose seemed very sacrificial. Seto licked his lips, eyeing the smaller boy, and Otogi resisted the urge to laugh out loud; Seto almost looked shy! After what seemed to be an eternity, the brunet crawled over Otogi and leaned down to kiss Yuugi. Otogi watched in unhidden fascination as Yuugi's arms wound around Seto, mouth opening eagerly under Seto's. Seto's hand covered Otogi's, and Otogi took his back. He nearly bounced with joy as Seto pushed Yuugi back down against the blanket. Perfect! Finally, one of his plans was working…
And THEN his cell phone rang. He cursed under his breath, but was amused to see that his dates were far to absorbed in each other to even notice. Otogi went to stand by his car so as not to disturb the two.
"Yea," he answered quietly.
"Sorry to disturb you, sir, but there's someone here to see you…" one of his employee's told him nervously.
"Shit…" Well, that call had only come two days too late. "It can't wait?"
"No, sir; he insists to see you as soon as possible. I'm sorry…"
"Fine; I'll be in shortly." Otogi hung up the phone and returned to the blanket. "Hey," he said softly, and both Seto and Yuugi looked at him. He almost smiled. They look irritated to have been interrupted. "Work called," he said, and then added, "again," for Seto's benefit. "I need to go in."
"Go ahead," Seto said. "I'll call my driver to pick us up when we're ready to go."
Otogi smirked, gave them a thumbs up, and went to his car.
Terrific. If nothing else, it looked like those two would be on his side once all was said and done.
