Chapter Three:
"Rising Confidence"
Cerulean eyes clouded by something akin to unabashed lust gazed up at the blonde and neither spoke at first. For once Jou was not afraid of the other man's response. He could call him mutt, puppy, anything he wanted...and Jou wouldn't care. He could even voice his disgust at being kissed by a canine. Because Jou knew that it would be a lie. The look in those gorgeous eyes told him he had enjoyed every bit of it, and he was probably cursing the human body's need to breathe.
Finally a small whisper flitted past Seto's lips. "Jou." That whisper carried with it more emotion than the harshest words he had ever spoken.
Jou grinned. It was the first time his beloved had ever spoken his name, at least in such a manner. All he wanted was to kiss him senseless, again. Unfortunately, it seemed time was against him.
The car rolled to a stop in front of their school and the time came to disengage from their little backseat tryst. The car door opened, exposing the two to the harsh wind and now pouring rain of the outside world. Luckily no students were foolish enough to be hanging around outside the school that morning, or they would have seen a frighteningly intimate moment.
Jou smirked rather uncharacteristically and said, "Out of time now, I see." Then he leaned down and trailed his tongue across a warm cheek eliciting a gasp from the dragon. Leaning further into the body beneath him, he momentarily captured Seto's earlobe between his teeth. Letting go he whispered, "See you in class."
Then without a second glance at the stunned Seto, Jou grabbed his bag from the floorboard, climbed out of the car and dashed across the grounds into the warm school.
'Hmm.' he thought smugly upon entrance into the building. 'I bet he's still sitting there, wondering what the hell happened.' Ignoring the students rushing here and there, he calmly made his way to his locker.
He could feel something rising inside him that he'd never felt before. Sure, he'd always been one to act rashly and without real planing. But each time it was based on anger, an anger he couldn't control and didn't really want to. But now, the feeling was different. It was confidence. Confidence in everything he did, as if he had absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. And for once, he felt in control. He felt powerful. He felt that not only was he ready to take on the world, he was also able. Why, he could have the world tremble at his feet if he wanted!
That last thought made him pause. 'Wait... what?' he wondered. 'What am I thinking?' But just as soon as it struck him odd, he thought back to the feeling of his lips on Seto's. And the feeling of doubt drifted away. 'Damn that was nice.' he grinned. And the feelings of power and control returned.
And then he was at his locker, putting away his things. And still his thoughts drifted. He was so lost in his thoughts of a certain blue-eyed dragon that he didn't hear his friends approach him.
A feminine hand waved back and forth in front of his face causing him to snap back to reality.
"Hello! Are you in there?" Anzu's voice inquired.
Normally Jou had no problems with the girl, but she had interrupted several very pleasant daydreams. He angrily slapped her hand away and turned to face them with a scowl.
Yuugi and Honda looked at him in shock, surprised by his sudden agressiveness.
Anzu cradled her hand in exaggerated pain. "Itai!" she whined. "What did you do that for!?"
Refusing to allow anything to ruin his good mood he shrugged and said, "Sorry. Just daydreaming."
Honda grinned and asked, "And who was the star of those daydreams?"
Jou glared at his friend. The only one he had told about his feelings for Seto was Yuugi. To tell the truth he was afraid of the other's reactions. When Yuugi had come clean about his and Yami's relationship the others hadn't been very supportive. Anzu's reaction had been something along the lines of "Eww! That's just gross!" Honda had looked at him funny for a couple weeks as if Yuugi were some kind of side-show freak, but he hadn't said anything overtly offensive.
Jou had been encouraged though by his friend's admission. It was easy to tell Yami and Yuugi shared a bond stronger than any others. And when he had finally confessed his affections for Seto to Yuugi, his friend had grinned and told him to go for what he wanted. He was grateful for his words, but of course it was easier said than done. Fear of rejection and complete embarrasment had kept him silent. Not only rejection by Seto, but also by his other friends and people in general.
But now, something was different. It was as if that one kiss had set his soul free. He no longer held that fear of rejection and therefore felt there was no reason to keep it secret. So when Honda continued grinning and said, "C'mon, who is she?" he answered honestly.
Jou let a pleased smile creep onto his lips as he thought back to the minutes earlier rendevous. "A certain gorgeous CEO with eyes I can drown in, hair I just wanna run my fingers through, lips I wanna kiss sore and a body to kill for."
All three of their jaws dropped open and their eyes went wide. Jou felt a strange sort of satisfaction in their reactions and his smile widened into a grin.
After the initial shock wore off Anzu began to turn a strange pasty green color.
Yuugi just stuttered, "J..Jou...you..." and continued to stare at him in shock.
Honda seemed to be having trouble grasping the situation though. He laughed nervously and said, "C'mon now man. That's not funny. Who was it really?"
Yuugi seemed to finally be getting a handle on himself and was almost beaming at this revelation.
Jou laughed and slapped Honda on the back. "Denial's no fun, Honda!" he laughed, grabbing his bag from the floor. "Just accept it and you'll be happier."
He turned to leave, but Yuugi called out to him and he turned back.
Yuugi still smiled but his eyes held confusion. "What happened?" he asked carefully, not sure if it was a question he should ask.
Jou's mind drifted back once again and he said simply, "A car ride with a dragon."
