The object of Seto's questions sneezed loudly.
"Careful Jou, don't want to get sick," said a mildly worried Yugi, smiling slightly at his boyfriend. This remark was greeted with two more explosive sneezes.
Jounouchi blinked at the offered tissue, then took it, wiping his nose. This only made Yugi smile more. Despite the tough guy image his love normally sustained, the blonde boy couldn't help accidentally becoming adorable.
After disposing of the flimsy, now wet, paper, Jounouchi leaned in for a quick kiss, surprising the recipient. The smaller boy ducked slightly, so the kiss landed on his nose, laughing at his astonished boyfriend's expression.
"Hey, no teasing," laughed Jou, his eyes crinkling up in the edges with a mixture of annoyance and amusement. "Let's get it righ-"
Before he could finish, Yugi cut him off, his lips pressing lightly to the others. Jou was more than happy to accept, his hand moving to caress his boyfriend's cheek lightly.
"Sorry to interrupt, but the bell rang about five minutes ago," came a voice from behind Jounouchi's shoulder. As the two broke apart, Yugi pouting slightly as Jou turned to look at whoever had dared to disrupt.
He found himself looking at Seto Kaiba, his proclaimed archenemy. They had come to a truce of sorts, ever since the other had become so close to one side of Yugi's split soul. Part of that truce was that they wouldn't both each other anymore. Kaiba was most certainly bothering Jounouchi.
"Just because you can't get any until after school doesn't mean you have to take it out on us," growled the blonde, flinching when he realized he'd including Yugi's darker half in the insult. Yugi would most likely scold him for it later.
The Pharaoh's newly acquired body had never been registered as a citizen, and was therefore not allowed in school. Without Kaiba Corp's financial persuasion, Yami would have been deported by now. Instead, he worked part time at his Hikari's Grandfather's game shop, and shared living quarters with the CEO. Nevertheless, Seto could only see his lover later in the day.
The aforementioned brunette narrowed his eyes. Jou had no reason to verbally attack Yami, though how the blonde could be so thick as to mix up who he was supposed to insult was beyond Kaiba.
"I wasn't trying to be impolite," began the CEO, trying to keep his temper under control. Yet his instinctive urge to salvage his wounded pride easily overpowered his need for peace.
"I also thought Yugi needed an excuse to escape from your dog breath," smirked Seto. Normally Jou would brush the canine comment off, but the cold weather had awakened a streak of spitefulness within him.
Without a word, he stood up, knocking over his chair, and socked the older Kaiba.
Seto choked, the air forced from his lungs via the fist's collision with his diaphragm. With impulsive quickness, he grabbed the offending arm, twisting sharply.
He hadn't meant to do much damage, but either he didn't know his own strength, or Jounouchi was in an awkward position, because before he knew it, the blonde's wrist cracked.
Jou felt his bone snap, his eyes meeting Seto's as pain filled his conscious. He blacked out.
The brunette blinked in surprise, his previous action beginning to come to light. Within a second he'd surveyed the inflicted damage to Jou's wrist, as well as the blonde's comatose state, mentally cursing himself for being so rough. Delicately he lifted the unconscious boy in his arms, ready to exit the room in favor of the nurse's office.
"Where are you taking him?" asked Yugi, wavering trust filling his eyes and quivering voice.
"He needs medical attention," muttered Seto. He flipped his cell phone from pocket, handing it to Jou's worried boyfriend. "Call for an ambulance," he said in monotone, hurrying out the room. Yugi gave a curt nod, and began dialing.
As he hurried down the hall, Seto couldn't help but notice how good Jou felt in his arms. 'Damn dream,' he thought, and quickened his pace.

A/N: Sorry the chapters are so short. And infrequent. The plot bunny seems to attack me in math class, when I'm powerless to do anything but scribble notes to try an salvage my inspirations. Also, sorry for using math class so repeatedly in my fics. It just seems appropriate. I don't know why.
Though I love mindless praise, please remember to insult and criticize my fic once in a while. Constructive criticism makes me stronger and a better writer, and flames make me laugh, so you're safe either way! Review kudasai. Onegaishimas. Por favor. Please!
