******************************************************
The early morning sun shone through the partially opened blue curtains of Seto Kaiba's room, showering him and the blonde beneath him with its light and warmth, as if trying to gently wake them up. Seto merely opened an eye a crack before groaning and shutting it again, trying to hid his tired eyes from the foul light as he tried to make himself more comfortable. `It can't be morning already!' He thought, snuggling his puppy beneath him in hopes of ignoring the day and all the responsibilities that came with it.
That's when it hit him.
His eyes immediately snapped wide open to get a good look at the sleeping Katsuya under him. They were both naked and he was still somewhat tangled in the blonde's legs. The pupils of his eyes became small as the realization of what happened the night before hit him, and he was just about ready to panic.
Quickly untangling himself from Jou, he hopped off of the bed and ran into the bathroom, not worrying about waking Katsuya with how that mutt could sleep through just about anything in his haste. The memories of the night before coming back with every step closer he got to his much needed shower.
The blonde simply shivered as the cold air hit him with the lack of having Seto's warm body on top of him. He then sleepily reached a hand out to grab at the side of the quilt to cover himself before going back into a deep dreamless sleep.
Running the water as hot as his body could take it before stepping under the spray, Kaiba didn't know whether or not to cringe at the memory of their lovemaking, or start dancing and singing for joy. As odd as that may look.
`He wanted it.' Kaiba's subconscious told him.
"He was drunk." He hissed out loud.
`He kissed *you*.' It argued back.
"He was drunk." He said again, snarling it out.
`He said he *loved* you!'
Seto's eyes instantly widened at the thought. Simply because it was true. It was the last thing he could remember before passing out last night. The faint whisper against his ear just as everything went black on him. *I love you.*
Seto squeezed his eyes shut at the thought. Tears threatening to break through the barrier as his heart pounded painfully in his chest. No, he didn't love him, he only said that because of the alcohol that he pushed him into drinking with him. And even if he did mean it, he certainly wouldn't love him when Motou and the rest of his useless friends showed up to find him and take him away from him.
And good God! What if he was a virgin?!? He would have taken advantage of a drunken virgin! This wasn't good. Not in the very least.
Heaving a heavy sigh, Seto didn't bother to wipe his eyes since the tears merely blended in with the hot water before turning off the tap and opening up the shower door. Letting the hot steam escape and be replaced by the cold air as it stabbed at his body while he grabbed his warm towel to dry off with.
******************************************************
Katsuya woke up slowly, opening his eyes little by little to get them used to the light in the room, unable to fully get back to sleep with the bright sun in his eyes, and feeling the soft, warm material of the blanket he was under at his fingertips as well as covering his entire body. His entire *naked* body.
Suddenly wide awake, he couldn't help but smil brightly at the thought, remembering how he'd come on to Seto the night before as well as what that had led to. He was drunk, obviously, but despite the soreness in his lower half, he did want it and it was well worth it. And he did mean what he said before the liquor could take its full effect on him and he passed out.
He loved Seto Kaiba. At least he was sure that he did. He loved being near him, he loved his hair, he loved his pale blue eyes. He loved how he could be so protective of his little brother, he loved the murderous glint he got in his eyes when something of his was threatened. And he definitely *loved* the way he kissed!
Yup. It's official then. He loved Seto. And drunk or not he was sober enough to know what he was doing when he offered himself to him the night before, and he was happy that he'd taken him up on the offer. Really happy!
Katsuya snuggled under the covers a little more before sighing in content. From the sound of it, Seto was in the bathroom, and he couldn't wait until he got out so he could simply see him again. Perhaps they could do something fun today.
He then caught sight of Seto's Blue Eyes White Dragon plushie, sitting on the bed nearby. And he snickered at the sight of it, not knowing why, but just finding it a little funny how the thing didn't fall off of the bed due to their actions last night and how its glass eyes were on the two as they came together.
`Seto must really like it if he's keeping it on his bed and not shelfing it.' The blonde thought, beaming at the very idea.
The door to the connecting bathroom suddenly made a *click* sound, before it slowly swung open as Seto walked out, fully dressed and running a shaky hand through his damp hair before fiddling with his fingers, not looking at him either. Katsuya blinked at him, wondering what was wrong. He *never* did things like that! He hated showing signs of weakness to anyone ever! Something was definitely wrong.
Seto turned his blue eyes over to where he still lay, and the blonde sat up, the blanket still covering him from the waist down. "What's wrong, Seto?" He asked softly.
There was a pause for only a split second before he spoke. "You have to go." He said simply.
Katsuya's eyes widened in shock at the command. And he felt his heart clenching in his chest but forced himself to remain calm. Go? Why? What had he done? There had to be some reasonable explanation. "W-why? What's wrong Seto?" He asked a little shakily and praying that he wasn't going to treat what had happened the night before as a simple one-time-only thing.
Seto simply went over to where their clothes were still lying on the floor, and he picked out Katsuya's boxers, jeans and his T-shirt before quickly shoving them at him. "Just get dressed and get out." He demanded coldly.
Katsuya started to shake, and he could practically *hear* his heart pounding like a jackhammer beneath his chest as it threatened to kill him once it exploded. He simply didn't understand as he looked down at the clothes in his hands in disbelief. What had he done? "I-I don't understand, S-Seto." He stuttered out, tears just about ready to drown him as they began to evenly poured down his face.
"Don't you get it, Mutt?!" Kaiba demanded in a rage, making the blonde cringe through his tears. "I took advantage of you when you were drunk. This should have *never* happened!" He roared out, causing his blonde headed puppy to wince again. Not at the tone of voice he used, but at what he said. *It should have never happened.*
"B-but I knew what I w-was doing." He stuttered out desperately, his mouth hanging open in between words, shaking his head in denial. "I-I knew what I was saying and what I-I was doing."
Kaiba gasped when he heard that. `He knew what he was doing too? Then he wanted it! And he knew what he was saying too!' But those happy thoughts weren't enough to make the CEO change his mind about the situation. Katsuya can't love him. It was impossible because he really hated him, he only thought he did because he just didn't know any better due to his amnesia. And once he got his memories back he would just hate him again, only this time it would be far worse.
"Well then... then... *you* took advantage of me!" He roared out, inwardly groaning at how stupid and absurd the very idea was, but it was all he had to work with at this point.
Katsuya's whole face seemed to drop at the accusation that was thrown at him. He never thought of it like that. That of all things Seto would be the one to not know what he was doing last night. And it was true, he never did make a move on him, but merely followed him around when he offered kisses until they got to his bedroom.
Kaiba turned around as if to leave so that he could get dressed, but Katsuya quickly reached out his hand to grab at his arm, stopping him. "Seto, please, I'm so sorry, but I thought that you knew what you were doing too!" He cried out in sheer desperation. He didn't want to be left alone right now and he didn't want Seto to hate him.
Seto closed his blue eyes before letting out a gentle sigh. `It's not your fault, I wanted it too.' He thought sadly. But to do so much as to utter those words would be his own undoing. What would a relationship with the puppy now do for him? Aside from break his heart when his friends found out where he'd been all this time and take him away. He didn't want things to go back to the way they were in school. He'd had feelings for the puppy for as far back as Pegasus' island. But Jou always did hate him. And while he had no one to blame for it but himself, he just didn't want that to happen again.
Kaiba was so angry right now that he was shaking. It wasn't fair. The blonde only *thought* that he was in love with him. So simply saying it would be a sheer lie that he didn't want to have to deal with. This had to end before it could go too far.
"Seto, I'm sorry b-but I meant everything that I said last night too." Katsuya cried out, hoping that perhaps he could fix this and get his forgiveness if he only knew his real feelings for him.
Kaiba's eyes widened in a panic. No! He couldn't take hearing that! `Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it, don't say it!!!'
"I-I.... I love--"
He didn't even have the chance to finish off the last word of the sentence as Seto's palm struck at his face as fast and as hard as the CEO could manage. Creating a loud and sick slapping sound that broke through the silent air of the room like lightning as the blonde felt himself get thrown to his side on the bed by the sheer force of it.
Kaiba wanted to be sick. He'd fought the puppy before, with fists instead of the palm of his hand, but never when he was crying and looking so vulnerable. He really didn't want to do that, but he just couldn't take the unwitting lie that was about to erupt from Jou's lips just now. The wetness on his palm that he knew was the tears from the blonde's cheek only served to deepen his self disgust. If he ever wanted to crawl into a hole and die, now was it.
Katsuya reached a shaking hand up to touch his face, feeling it sting as he did and knowing that it would bruise later on as his eyes filled with even more hot tears, making his vision blur. He knew that Seto could see him cry, but he couldn't help but hide his face in his hand as he just flat out sobbed.
Seto never felt so guilty about anything in his entire life. And it was true, he never did feel guilty before. But the sound of Jou's child like whimpers and the sight of his shaking shoulders made him (for once) want to take it all back and simply hold him. But that was impossible, and he knew it, so he had to fight the urge.
Before he could even utter out a word of apology though, Katsuya kicked his legs over the side of the bed before throwing on his jeans as fast as he could, doing them up before grabbing the rest of his clothes and running out of there and down the hall to his own room as fast as he could.
He shut and locked the door as fast as his shaking hands could, unable to believe that, that had just happened. He took advantage of Seto when he was drunk last night! How could he do something like that?! It was no wonder that the CEO hated him so much. Hell, he hated himself right now too!
Seto didn't accept, nor did he want his love, and frankly he couldn't really blame him. This was also his *employer* he'd done this too! What if he fired him and kicked him out?! Where would he go? He didn't have any friends, and his only family didn't want him from what Seto had told him. This was not how things were supposed to work out at all!
Katsuya let the clothes he was holding drop to the floor before collapsing on his bed in choked sobs, getting under the covers as if they would protect him from the things to come.
Noticing the black puppy in bed with him, he roughly grabbed at it before angrily throwing it away, and watching as it hit the door before falling to its side on the floor. The small bean bag inside creating a tiny thud when it hit the wood.
He only stared at where it lay for about a minute or two, before quickly jumping out of bed and running over to where it was, snatching it up as he ran back under the covers. Practically crushing the plushie to him as he continued to sob out his broken heart into the pillow.
