Chapter 3 – Where's My Funeral?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Katsuya sat with his head cradled on his folded arms and yawned. 'I hadn't realized that I would enjoy working with Seto or Keith so much. Or that the initial planning would be so involved. The fact that Ryuuji was there yesterday hadn't really been a surprise, considering we were trying to find a way to adapt his Dungeon Dice Monsters to work with Seto's Dueling Disks. I was surprised though, that by the time we wrapped up that it was after two in the morning. So I suppose it wasn't too surprising that I was tired. Looks like the other two are just as bad off as I am, though they're hiding it better, if I didn't know that they were just as tired as I was I'd be pissed. Damn Keith and his not having school anyway.'

Katsuya's internal monologue was interrupted by a worried Yuugi asking him as the lesson ended and lunch began, "Are you okay Jou? You look really tired."

"I'm running on no sleep. 'Togi and some work kept me up till after two, and then when I finally got home I had to do my homework."

"_You_ did your homework?" Anzu asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, part of my new job. I gotta keep my grades up. So that means homework." Katsuya yawned and closed his eyes.

"Did you get any sleep at all last night, Jou-kun?" Ryuuji asked in concern resting his chin on Katsuya's desk, which caused Katsuya to jump when he opened his eyes and Ryuuji's face was only a few inches away from his own.

"Don't do that 'Togi, and sadly no. I had a lot of make up work to do." Katsuya sighed and buried his face in his arms so his next words were muffled, "Still have to do. Damnit."

"What new job?" Hiroto asked confused. He hadn't known that Katsuya had gotten a new job.

"Guess I forgot to tell ya. I work for Industrial Illusions now. I'm working on a pretty big project with 'Togi and a couple others." Katsuya mumbled in a half asleep voice.

"Are you serious, Jou? You work for Pegasus?" Yuugi asked surprised at Katsuya's news.

"It's true Yuugi. But it really shouldn't be all that surprising that Jou- kun's gotten such a good job. He is, after all, one of the world's top duelists." Ryuuji pointed out reasonably.

"I suppose that does make sense. But Pegasus?" Yuugi asked still surprised.

"Hey, he's not that bad of a boss. Well, except for the suit thing." Katsuya said opening his eyes.

"Hey, you looked good like that, Jou-kun, very edible," Ryuuji pointed out. "Didn't he Kaiba?" The last he asked with a smug grin.

Seto turned his head and gave Ryuuji a cold look, "I really have no idea what you are talking about Otogi."

"I saw the way you were watching him last night. Naughty, naughty." Ryuuji said wagging an admonishing finger at Seto.

Seto hissed at Ryuuji, "And just what is _that_ supposed to mean?"

"Oh, nothing really. Just that by the looks of things, you wanted Jou-kun to yourself for some private...conversation." Ryuuji said, giving Seto a pointed look.

Seto glared at Ryuuji, "Even if in some distant alternate reality I were to lust after the make inu, I highly doubt that I would be so low as to steal him from someone else."

Ryuuji grinned as he said, "Glad to hear it. But sadly it's tragic, for I was hoping you would join us."

Katsuya muttered, "'Togi, stop messing with Kaiba's head. I'm too tired to flirt with ya."

"Say it ain't so! Jounouchi Katsuya, too tired to flirt! You must be dying. Don't worry I'll give you a good eulogy." Ryuuji teased Katsuya. Then he had to duck as Katsuya's chair flew at him and out the, luckily, open window.

"Those were my death throws. Now I can die. But first, give me one last kiss," Katsuya said from where he was draped face up over Seto's desk.

"It's a miracle! You have recovered, and after your death throws too!" Ryuuji threw himself into a surprised Hiroto's arms and started to mock-sob in relief. "I'm so happy."

Katsuya tilted his head and looked up at Seto with wide eyes, "He's cheating on me with my best friend. And after I almost died as well, it's not right!" So saying Katsuya scooted and dropped into a shocked Seto's lap and threw his arms around him where he proceeded to wail about the unfairness of it all.

Needless to say they had drawn quite an audience. That group had a tendency to be rather loud and sometime dramatic, just not usually to this degree. Not to mention that Katsuya was wrapped around Seto like a vine to a column, and Seto was letting him. Thus the rumors that Katsuya, Ryuuji, and Seto were a threesome began.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Seto glared at Katsuya who was ignoring him as he struggled valiantly to tie his hair back with a rubber band, "I can't believe you did that in front of your boyfriend."

"Huh? Whatcha talkin' about, Kabia-san. Damn rubber band, stop snapping me!" Katsuya tried yet again to hold his hair in place with one hand and use the rubber band with the other. He was having serious problems with this task seeing as he'd never actually tied anyone's hair back before.

Seto sighed and snatched the rubber band from Katsuya and batted his other hand away, "Here, let me. Why you can't do it yourself I don't understand."

"Hey, I never really messed around with rubber bands. I never saw the draw of them, and now I gotta use them whenever I'm workin', because 'I am a respectable representative of Industrial Illusion and I must look like it to hold up the company's reputation.' Well, according to Pegasus-san that is. I just know it's a pain in the neck."

Seto hummed distractedly as he ran a hand through Katsuya's hair to pull it back smoothly. "And you went along with this without protest? Why don't I believe this?" Seto pulled the hair back tightly and deftly fastened it. "There, now you look like you belong here, make inu."

Katsuya turned around suddenly before Seto had a chance to back away and whatever he had been about to say was lost as there was suddenly an unexpected ding which caused Katsuya to jump startled, bump into Seto, bounce off of the CEO (who fell against the back wall of the elevator), and fall on his back outside of the elevator. Katsuya was beginning to think that this elevator had it out for him. Maybe it was in league with the school vending machine? Both caused him completely undeserved embarrassment.
