******************

Jou ended up back at his home collapsing on the stairs, sobbing. I lost him. . he is gone...'

A quiet scuffle of footsteps suddenly made itself known to the upset blond. The sound of those footsteps tripping over the same uneven part of sidewalk, and then a very familiar masculine voice cursing under his breath softly.

Jou snapped his head up at the sound, murmuring to himself. "Quit it, Jou..! You're hearing things..he's gone..." He clutched the gift for Seto to his chest, sighing sadly. "He's gone.."

"Who's gone, Jounouchi? I certainly hope you don't mean me..." Seto murmured, hobbling over with a smile, rubbing his knee.

Jou gasped, his head snapping up to glance at him with wide, tearful eyes. "Seto?! B-but I thought you left!!"

"Flight got canceled because of bad weather in New York. Trip was delayed..."

The blond jumped up, the gift left forgotten next to him as he threw himself into Seto's arms, sobbing.

Seto yelped in surprise, stumbling backwards slightly before regaining his footing and wrapping his arms around him. "Sshhh....gomen nasai, I didn't mean to upset you, Jounouchi.."

"I-I thought y-you had left..I-I didn't g-get to say g-goodbye..."

"Shhh..." Seto soothed, petting his hair gently. "I'm here. You don't have to say goodbye, not yet..if the plane had gone on schedule, it would've happened...weird stroke of luck, don't you think?"

Jou just nodded, still whimpering and crying, holding onto him tightly.

"Shh...don't cry...everything's okay...gomen nasai for hurting you...I didn't mean to..."

Jou pulled back, glancing up at him. "I h-had a gift to give to you...I-I just wanted to see you one last time..and when your assissant told me what happened..." He closed his eyes. "I thought I had lost you.."

"Shhh...you're not going to lose me. No matter what happens, Jou."

"You can't go..please don't go.."

Seto sighed. "Jounouchi, I've got to. You know that. Besides, I thought you said that you would wait for me..."

"I don't want you to go. Stay for me...you don't hafta go..."

"Yes, I do. You know how important this is, I thought you understood..."

"Is it more important than me?! I do understand, demo..I want you to stay.."

"Jounouchi, you ARE important to me, I never would have taken this chance at us if you weren't! But this business is my life, and Mokuba's, I have to take care of of it. Don't be upset..." Seto tried to reason with him, resting a hand on his shoulder.

Jou growled and jerked away, shaking. "I don't wanna hear it..go catch your plane...go to your business..have a wonderful life!" He turned away and ran up the stairs and into the house, slamming the door. He sank to his knees on the other side, sobbing. 'It's not fair..'

A flash of hurt darted across Seto's eyes as he stared at the closed door, before bowing his head, turning and leaving. 'I lose him...before I even get a chance to know love. Huh. Why am I not surprised.' He sighed and walked back home, calling and making arrangements with a heavy heart.

********

Jou sighed and glanced at the hall clock after a while, gasping in surprise. "It's been three hours...how could I be sooo stupid! I don't give a damn where he is, I love him!!" He scrambled to his feet and raced to the phone, calling Kaiba Mansion. 'I hope he hasn't left...please!'

The phone rang a few times before somebody picked up. "Hello, Kaiba residence."

Jou swallowed nervously. "Is Seto there? It is urgent I talk to him!!"

"Gomen nasai, sir, Kaiba-sama left for the airport 15 minutes ago. You may be able to catch him, if you're lucky..."

Jou gasped, slamming the phone down without even a goodbye. 'I have to get to him!!!' He turned and raced out the door, heading to the airport to his love, hoping he wouldn't be too late.

********

Seto sighed, quiet after the argument with Jou, getting Mokuba settled and last things arranged before sitting down in his seat beside Mokuba. He glanced out the window longingly. 'Sayonara, home. For a little while or forever...sayonara, Jounouchi...wherever you are...' He closed his eyes as the plane started down the runway.

Jou got to the airport just in time to see Seto's plane pull away from the gate. "No! I'm too late..." 'Goodbye, love..I'll wait for you.. forever..'

Mokuba noticed Seto's quietness and blinked at him. "Big brother? Is something the matter?" he asked quietly, cocking his head.

"...Iie....everything's fine...get some rest, Mokuba..." He pulled the windowshade down, closing his own eyes to rest.

Jou sighed softly, about to head home when an idea suddenly struck him. He grinned widely and headed off to where he needed to to make it happen.

********

Seto took the time to stretch into his new business, adjusting to his new home and getting Mokuba settled. He yawned and stretched wearily, typing away at his computer, not having gotten much sleep before. 'New job, new home, new life...no Puppy...' He sighed and restrained himself from banging his head on the desk. He missed Jounouchi so much..

A persistent knock is rapped suddenly on the door, startling him.

Seto blinked at the door, frowning. "I'm busy, come back another time." He glanced back down to the computer and went back to work.

*Knockknockknockknockknockknock*

"Go away."

*Knockknockknockknockknockknockknockknockknockknock*

Seto sighed and turned away from the computer to the window. "Do I have to call security? Come back another time!" he growled.

The door opened quietly, the visitor smiling and replying quietly.

"Aren't you supposed to be working Mr. CEO?"

Seto gasped, seeing a reflection in the window he'd thought never to see in a million lifetimes and turned around, eyes wide. "J-Jounouchi?!" he stammered.

Jou smiled and nodded. "You left without your gift again. ..I had to give it to you.."

"You...you just brought the greatest gift with you...."

Jou moved towards Seto, handing him the package he had had before with an almost shy grin. "..Here..."

Seto smiled and took the gift, setting it down for a moment before hugging him tightly. "I meant you, Puppy."

Jou smiled and hugged him back, closing his eyes.

"I missed you...gomen nasai, I didn't mean to make you angry..."

"No, it was my fault...I knew how important this was and I got selfish. You did nothing wrong. Will you forgive me..?"

"Jounouchi...I always will forgive you. I can't stay mad at you..."

Jou smiled at him. "I'm glad..thank you.." He reached around Seto and picked the gift back up. "Open it for me please...?"

Seto smiled and took the gift again. "You didn't have to give me anything.."

"It was a spur of the moment thing...I wanted to give it to you that day.."

Seto opened the wrapping and gasped, eyes widening at the picture.

"Do you like it? I wanted to get you something special.."

"Jounouchi...it's wonderful..." came the soft reply.

"Really? I'm glad you like it!"

Seto smiled and set it right on his desk, in front of the laptop. "There...so I can always see it.."

"So how have you been...?" The blond asked, smiling.

Seto leaned against the desk, glancing at him, saying the thing foremost on his mind instinctively. "...Missing you..." He blushed.

Jou flushed. "I missed you, too.." he murmured.

Seto chuckled softly at the cute blush creeping across the blond's face. "...Jounouchi, how did you get over here? A trip to America from home isn't exactly cheap.."

"Well.. I had some money saved, and well...I...I sold my Duel Mosters deck.."

Seto gasped, eyes widening. "Jounouchi! You didn't!"

Jou nodded, looking down. "I-I wanted to see you...it was the only way I could get the money..."

Seto moved closer to him, wrapping his arms tightly around the blond. "Jou...oh, Jou, gomen nasai!"

"Don't apologize..I wanted to see you..."

"But that was your prized deck!"

"It..it was worth it if I could see you.."

"I feel terrible...I can help you get your deck back..."

Jou shook his head. "Don't feel bad..please. The cards aren't as important as you." he murmured.

"Demo..."

"But what? I love you..not those cards..."

Seto sighed and folded his arms around him, resting his cheek against his hair.

Jou rested against him, sighing softly. "A-aishiteru.."

Seto smiled and nuzzled him. "...A....Aishiteru, Jou..."

"So..what do you wanna do while I'm here?"

"Mmm...see the sights? There's much to do here..."

Jou nodded. "It's all up to you..demo I have to leave tomorrow.."

"....So soon..."

"I'm sorry..I only had enough for a one day trip..I wish I could stay..I wish.."

Seto sighed. "It's alright. We'll...just make each second count, ne?"

"Hai!" Jou smiled. "So what shall we go see first?"

"Well...I have an idea of what to do first, before anything.."

"What's that..?" The blond head cocked curiously.

"This." He slipped his fingers under Jou's chin, tilting it up, lowering his head to brush his lips lightly against Jou's.

Jou's eyes slipped closed as he leaned into Seto. "Mm.."

The brunette purred softly, the fingers of his other hand curling into the blond hair.

Jou gasped, arching his head into Seto's hand.

"Mmm..." Seto sighed, breaking the kiss reluctantly.

The blond groaned at the loss of his lips. "Mmm..Seto.." he purred.

Seto nuzzled him, blushing slightly. "That was a long time in coming..."

Jou nodded, smiling. "Hai...it was..so where to..?"

"Wherever you want..."

"How about your new house?"

Seto nodded. "Sure...a tour, then.."

"Yippie!!"

The brunette chuckled, smiling at him.

"So shall we go?"

Seto nodded, grabbing up his coat and placing the laptop in the briefcase. He moved back to Jou and placed a hand at the small of his back, leading him to the door. "Let's go, then.."

"Hai!" Jou beamed, practically bouncing out the door.

********

Seto smiled, watching Jou's reaction to his home, which wasn't as big as his old home, but still nice nonetheless, set back in a private area of forest, quiet and secluded.

Jou gasped, dark eyes wide. "Seto..it's beautiful!"

Seto chuckled and showed him around, motioning with his head out to the balcony. "And the view is nice, too.."

Like a little kid, the blond ran out to look. "Sugoi!!" he murmured softly in awe.

Seto smiled, reveling in his reaction, walking out with him and lacing his arms around his waist.

Jou sighed in contentment and leaned back into him. "So how is Mokuba doing?"

"Seems to be doing well. He seems to be doing better than I was..."

"And why was that..besides me not being here with you..?"

The older boy sighed, glancing out over Jou's shoulder. "This place is nice...beautiful, even...but I miss home...granted, I don't have lot of friends, or anything like that...but it seems that I'm homesick, corny as that may sound..."

"Seto...you'll go back soon..."

"...What if I can't?"

Jou froze, fear striking his heart. "What do you mean...?" he murmured uncertainly.

"They're in talks of wanting me to stay here....permanently."

Jou gasped silently, feeling his knees go weak. "Oh..r-really..." he replied shakily.

Seto nodded silently, resting his chin on his shoulder broodingly. His arms tightened desperately around Jou, glancing out absently.

Jou struggled not to panic. 'It isn't his fault..don't get upset...' "So when do you know for sure?"

"End of the week, I think..." Seto murmured softly.

Jou remained silent, his mind reeling. 'He may have to stay....'

"Are you angry, Jou?"

"N-no, of course not!!"

"You're upset, then. I wish I could do something to help you..."

"I-it's ok...I'll just have to work hard and get money to come visit you from time to time..."

"Time to time? Jou...I don't want time to time...I want always...but I don't even know now if it's possible..."

Jou sighed. "I want that too, Seto..I want that too.."

"I'm scared...I don't want to lose this so soon..or you..." Seto admitted softly, nuzzling him gently.

"Don't be scared..I'd said I would wait and I will...you won't lose me...I promise you that with all that I am."

"Jou..." Seto turned his head suddenly, kissing him fiercely.

"Mph...!" Jou gasped and kissed him back, throwing his arms around Seto's neck.

He whimpered softly, pulling Jou closer in almost-desperation.

Jou pulled back reluctantly, panting for breath. "Gods..what'd I say..?" he murmured, reeling from the intensity of the kiss.

Seto blushed. "Um..."

Jou smiled. Seto speechless, that was a first. "Never mind, then.."

"I...." Seto blinked as the phone rang suddenly in the room. "....Hold on for a minute...?"

"Hai.." Jou replied, turning to lean on the balcony rail, looking out at the gorgeous view. Seto smiled at the picture of him, then left to answer the phone.

" ....Hello? ....Hai, this is he. Hai, you told me at the end of the week..................WHAT?!"

Jou blinked at the tone of his voice. 'Oh no..did he get bad news? I'll just stay here and let him handle it..'

"But you said--! Yes, yes, you can chage your mind, but...! But I---" Seto sighed. "..............alright. Yes. Thank you. Goodbye." He walked back out, looking stunned.

Jou glanced up at him, worried. "..What is it?" he asked.

"The board. Th-they say that I'm to stay at this branch of KaibaCorp, they like having the CEO here. Th-they want me to stay...permanently."
