:: Crossing Over ::
Chapter Fifteen
This was the second time that Jou tried to ignore him, and Yami didn't know what he had done this time. Last time was Anzu's fault, as she blackmailed the blond so that she could be with him. But this time, he doubted that Anzu was the source of the problem. It seemed like he had done something unforgivable, since each time he caught his friend's eyes, it reflected sadness and depression. Yami wondered if it was his father's doing again, but he doubted about it. Because Panseru seemed sincere that day, and he was sure that his father would change his point of view about Jou after observing him. But the young CEO didn't know how wrong he was.
"Kaiba! Why did you kiss me in front of those people?!" A familiar voice had cut short Yami's track of thought, which had caught his attention. It sounded like Jou's, who he wanted to get some explanation from. Yami followed where the voice came from, not being surprised to see Seto with the blond.
"To show them not to play with my things without my permission." Seto said matter-of-factly, "I'm the only one who can tease you, not them."
"Man...You're so possessive." Jou let out a sigh, running his hand though his messy hair. "Just...don't do it again, okay?"
"And why can't I?" Seto narrowed his eyes, folding his arms.
"It-It's just...embarrassing, okay?" Jou blushed a little, "Anyway, I-I got to go now, course starts in few minutes." He turned to leave, but Seto had caught one of Jou's arms, and kissed him. It was a bruising one, yet gentle and passionate at the same time. But what had surprised Yami was that his Jou was kissing him back! How could things like that happen to him?!
"I'll see you after the course." Seto said after pulling the blond away, letting Jou have time to breath.
"Hmhn." Jou nodded, having a face as red as tomatoes.
As for Yami, he just couldn't believe what he had seen. It seemed like Jou was willing to do it, as Seto had let the blond have a chance to push him away while kissing him. The young CEO was so stunned that he didn't even realize that his books were falling off on the ground, which had caught other two boys' attention.
"Y-Y-Yami?!" Jou looked at his friend with a shocked expression. Just how long had he been here?
"What are you doing here, Motou?" Seto frowned, not happy the red-eyed teen's presence.
"When did you two..." Yami didn't finish his sentence, not wanting to end it either. He still believed that Jou and Seto weren't lovers. But that thought couldn't change the reality. Right?
"Become lovers?" Seto completed the question for Yami, smirking. "That's none of your business, Motou. Come on, puppy. You're going to be late."
"Ah. Eh." Jou blinked, nodding. Before leaving, he gave one last look to Yami, and went to his course.
What was going on here....?
"Hello, is Mr.Motou here?" A female voice came from the phone which Yami was holding, asking.
"You're talking to him. Is there anything I can do for you?" Yami questioned, not knowing who the girl on the other line was. Might be a new customer or something.
"Yes, Mr.Motou..." She paused, a little bit hesitant, "I-I was thinking that maybe we should have a date. That way, we might be able to know each other more. Don't you think?"
"A date?" Yami raised an eyebrow; what a direct girl she was. "That sounds nice, but I'm not..."
"Oh! It'll be fun, Yami! We can go shopping, watch movies, and go to that famous Valentine Coffee-shop which everyone is talking about! It seems like their deserts are the best!" She beamed happily, sounding excited. "Unless you have other plans, of course. I won't mind as long as the idea is from you, Yami!"
"I'm sorry, miss. But who you might be?" Yami requested, frowning. He felt angry about being called by his first name by someone that he didn't even know who she was! Only his dad and Jou could call him like that. Heck, even Anzu wouldn't call him Yami!
"Oh! How silly I am! I didn't even present myself!" She apologized, "I'm Cecilia Crawford, your fiancée!"
"WHAT?!" Yami exclaimed, eyes wide. Don't tell him this was happening to him again! "What are you talking about?! I don't have any fiancée at the moment!" Was this girl pretending to be his fiancée? Or was this...another of his father's doing?
"Of course you do, Yami!" Cecilia giggled, "Didn't your father tell you anything about it? We are going to marry in a month! Isn't it great?"
"A-A MONTH??!" Did he mishear it? "Wait a minute, Miss. I don't even know you, and it wasn't MY decision, so..."
"But I thought it was your decision. Well, at least that's what Mr.Motou had told me." She cut short what Yami wanted to say, again, and the rich teen didn't like it. Did she do it on purpose?
"I'm sorry, Miss. But what my father had told you were lies." Yami replied emotionlessly, not interested in what Panseru had said to the girl. Probably the same thing when Panseru demanded Anzu's parents a marriage for him.
"But it can't be....I-I meant...."
"It is true, Miss. I'm already in love with someone else." Yami rubbed his temples; why did he bother to talk with her anyway? She was annoying, worse than her brother! "Have a nice day, Miss." without waiting for a reply, he hang off.
Guess he owned some explanations to Jou.
It was a Saturday afternoon, and Seto was at the restaurant, with Jou. They planned on spending some time together, as the pup was feeling bored at home. Well, it was the CEO's idea that they should go out and take some air, not Jou's. But the blond wasn't complaining about it. Hm...Maybe a little, but anyways, that was not important.
"Wow....It looks....expensive...." Jou gasped, eyes as big as plates, "Are you sure it's okay? I meant, I don't mind going to some normal or cheap places as long as there is food, you know?" Jou didn't like to take advantage of others, even if that person was a multi-billionaire like Seto.
Sure, he didn't resist when Seto had asked him go to restaurant, but after several times of protesting, he had accepted the rich teen's offer. But Jou had never thought that Seto would take him to a place like that!
"Didn't I tell you that I'm going to pay it? Money isn't a problem for me, and you know that." Seto glared, not liking being disobeyed. "Besides, do you really think I'm going to eat at that kind of place?"
"No...." Jou shook his head, "But..."
"No buts, pup. Be a good dog and listen to what your master had said, got it?" Seto smirked, couldn't fight back the urge of teasing the blond.
"Hey! Don't call me that!" Jou groaned, "I'm not a dog!"
"Fine then, mutt." Seto's smirk got even wider, trying to hold back the desire of chucking. Like he said, it was fun to play with Jou. And he was kind of cute when he's mad.
"Don't call me by my nicknames! I have a name and you know that!" Jou scowled, blushing when hearing his stomach's protest, "Say...should we eat? I'm...hungry..."
"Sure, pup." Seto snickered.
They didn't notice those pair of the pair of red eyes watching them.
"Hmmm....I'm full!" Jou smiled in satisfaction, rubbing his stomach, "Thanks for the dinner, Kaiba! I own you one!"
"How many times did I tell you? Call me Seto." The brunet frowned, looking at the invoice. He didn't know that the blond could eat this much!
"Sorry, habit!" Jou smiled sheepishly, "So what are we going to do, Seto?"
"Shopping, of course." Seto said matter-of-factly, "I'm getting tired of your clothes. You need some changes."
"What's wrong with my clothes? They look fine to me!" Jou protested, folding his arms, "And I'm not going to shop with you!"
"And why don't you want to? Afraid that I might choose puppy dog's suit for you?" Seto smirked after seeing Jou's slight blush, snickering." Don't worry, they are just normal clothes. I have good taste when it comes to style."
Few hours later....
"What kind of normal clothing is that?!" Jou almost fainted after seeing the price on the ticket; this would surely take all of his one month salary. Of course, it was good-looking clothing, as it looked rather comfortable and nice. He thought that Seto would choose something girly or tight clothes, but he guess he was wrong. It was a normal man cloth that marched the fashion of now's society. But the price was kind of...exaggerated; there was no way he would let Seto pay it for him.
"What's wrong? You don't like it?" Seto raised an eyebrow; he was never wrong in this kind of area.
"No! No! It's just...well....too expensive..." Jou sighed, shaking his head. To be honest, he did like it. But even if he wanted to buy it, Jou wouldn't be able to pay it. He still needed to keep his money for other things.
"Too expensive? Geez, and say that I paid mine for 3x times more of the price on it. What am I going to do?" Seto rolled his eyes, getting less and less patient, "Listen, pup. MONEY IS N-O-T A PROBLEM FOR ME!!"
"I know, I know! But I don't want you to spend so much money on me! I-I...I just feel guilty about it." Jou scratched his hair nervously.
"Because you don't like to take advantage of others, right?" Seto sighed; such a stubborn little dog. "Fine, do as you like. No shopping for today." He raised his hands in a defeat style, "Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere you want." Jou smiled, "And I'm sorry, Seto...I..."
"Don't worry; it's not your fault." Seto patted Jou's head reassuringly, "Come on. I know a good place that you probably will like."
"Wow...It's beautiful...." Jou exclaimed, mouth open. "This is the first time I saw the whole city like that." He didn't know that Tokyo City could look this pretty at night, especially looking at it from above.
"You like it?" Seto asked, chucking.
"Yeah..." Jou nodded, "Didn't know a guy like you can find a place like this."
"I still need some space, pup. Being the head of a big company isn't an easy task, if you don't know that." Seto closed his eyes, relaxing. It felt great each time he came here, as all his stresses were gone the moment he was here.
"Must be hard for you, right?" Jou really pitied the man beside him. It must be hard to keep up the mask that Seto had formed, to be the false self everyday.
"Hm." It was not easy, but Seto had no choice. It was for protecting himself from getting hurt, a way to defend himself from the other's attacks. But he was getting tired of it, wanted to become a normal teenager like he was supposed to be. Unfortunately, that was impossible.
"Hey, don't give me that sad face!" Jou put a hand on the brunet's shoulder reassuringly, grinning. "I'm sure you can do it." It sounded stupid, but Jou didn't know what to say to reassure Seto.
"Thank you." Seto murmured, feeling grateful about it. If Jou wasn't here to melt his cold heart, hadn't appeared in his life, he wouldn't know what to do. He didn't know that a smile was formed on his lips until he saw Jou's shocked face. "What's wrong? Did you see a ghost?"
"Y-You can smile?" Jou stuttered, eyes wide. "You look so handsome when you smile." He grinned, "Come on, smile again!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No!"
"Pretty please?"
"I said NO!"
"Awww! Come on Kaiba. You look good when you smiled!" A familiar voice broke in, "The pup looks like he really wants to see it again! Why don't you make his wish come true?" Heck, he should take a picture when Seto was smiling! After all, it was not everyday that a stone man like Seto would smile, right?
"O-Otogi?"
"What are you doing here?" Seto narrowed his eyes. Did Otogi follow them or something? Not that he was surprised about it.
"Didn't seem like you guys want to see me...I'm hurt!" Otogi put his hand on where his heart was, trying to look hurt. "By the way, Kaiba. Someone is spying on you." He murmured in tone that only Seto would hear, whispering in his ear.
"I know that, Otogi." Seto glared; he already knew that person was with them since the beginning of the date, and he even knew who the spy was. Seto just let him observe as much as he wanted, since he wasn't talking about any business with Jou. Besides, he didn't want to mess up their first date, which was for sure.
"Know what?" Jou asked, being curious about what Seto was talking about.
"Know about a new place that I just discovered minutes ago!" Otogi grinned, taking one of Jou's arms while ignoring the blond's protest. "Come on, let me show you!"
"Hey! Wait...."
"See you later, Kaiba!" Otogi winked, and left with Jou.
"Come on out, Panseru. I know it's you." Seto demanded, folding his arms.
"Well, well. You're not a Kaiba for nothing, kid." Panseru got out from where he was hiding, smirking. "I see you have a lot of fun with that boy, didn't you?" He was spying on them to satisfy his curiosity, as he was curious just to which point this Jou-boy was different of his beloved wife. And now he knew why.
"Mind your own business, Panseru." Seto glared, "Just what are you doing here?"
"Spying on you two, of course." Panseru replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't it obvious?"
"And may I know what your reason is?" Seto frowned; he was as annoying as his son!
"For some....personal reasons." Panseru smiled coldly, "I'm sorry, I can't give you any further information." He paused, "But I'm going to warn you. Yami is going to get back what belongs to him. So be prepared for that day."
"What belongs to him?" Seto snorted, "Who said the puppy is his?"
