******************************************************
Seto sat on his bed with his head in his hands, unable to believe what he'd just done no less than a full half an hour ago. The sound of the slap he'd given Katsuya continually echoing through his mind, and getting louder and sounding more fierce every time he heard it, making him cringe in disgust.
He looked at the palm of his hand. The same hand that he struck at the blonde with, before glaring at it, as if it was the fault of the hand and not of his. He wanted so badly to apologise to him. Which was a strange feeling since the only person he's ever seriously apologised to was Mokuba.
`He can't still love me after that.' He thought in to himself in shame. The puppy said that he loved him, and in return he slapped him in the face for it. His knee was twitching up and down nervously at the thought. He didn't want the puppy to hate him, he wanted him to love him. But the fact remained that he didn't love him. He only thought that he did. And it simply wasn't fair.
This wasn't right. It was all his fault for bringing him here to begin with and because of that, his puppy thought that he was in love with him. He was in pain because of what he did. And it just wasn't right. This had to end. With that thought in mind, he got up from where he sat and headed out of the room, deciding that he needed to tell Katsuya the truth. It would cut the damage he did down to a minimal if he was the one to tell him at least.
****************************************************
Mokuba knocked at Katsuya's door again, for the fifth time since he woke up, getting a little annoyed with the lack of response he got. He was feeling a lot better today and he wanted to thank him for all the toys he won for him the day before. But not only was the door locked, he also got no answer, and he couldn't help but wonder what was wrong.
"What are you doing Mokuba?" Seto asked. The black haired boy whipped his head to the side to see his big brother walking over, a strange look on his face that he'd only seen him make a few times in his entire life. Sadness.
"I wanted to talk to Katsu-kun, but his door's locked and he won't answer me." He said in a worried tone of voice, already guessing that by the look on his brothers face that he had something to do with this. He wisely kept the idea to himself though. He didn't want to get a scolding for being nosey so early in the day.
Seto's eyes widened in slight fear when he heard that. Why wasn't the puppy answering him? He didn't hurt himself in there did he?
He quickly rushed over to the door before lightly pushing his little brother aside. "Go into the kitchen and make yourself some cereal Mokuba," He said, getting down on his knees to try and look inside of the thick skeleton lock. The key was still in place in the hole, so he'd have to pick at it to get in. "I'll get the mutt out and we'll meet you there." He said in a final tone of voice while taking off one of his smaller belt buckles to use.
Mokuba didn't really know what was happening, but he knew that when his brother used that voice that there was no point in arguing. So he turned and slowly walked away, trying to think of the many number of things that could've happened and what he could do to try and help. `Baka onisan messed up again.' He thought sarcastically as he went.
Seto folded the small arm belt in half when he saw that his brother was gone, before roughly jamming it into the lock and causing the skeleton key to fall out of the hole and onto the ground with a small clang. He then took the tip of the belt out of the key hole before sticking it under the door to try and fish it out with.
So far there was no sign that Katsuya knew what he was doing or was planning on stopping him from getting in, and this worried him a great deal. `Katsuya wouldn't hurt himself, and he *wouldn't* run away!' He thought to himself frantically as he finally managed to get the key out from under the door and unlock it before quickly stepping in.
He couldn't help but sigh in relief when he saw his golden haired puppy on his side and under the covers of his bed, fast asleep. But the fact that there were many tear stains on his cheeks and well as the sight of the black puppy he held tightly to his chest in the obvious fetal position he was in beneath the covers made his heart clench. The growing bruise on his cheek wasn't doing much to help out either. And it only intensified the disgust he felt with himself.
He walked up to the bed as quietly as he could before sitting down next to him, trying not to wake him as the bed bent a little beneath his weight. He then gently ran a hand through the puppy soft hair that he loved. "I'm sorry." He whispered, truly not knowing what he would actually say to him when he woke up.
Katsuya suddenly shifted under the covers of his bed before clenching his eyes shut tighter and groaning in what sounded like pain. For a minute Seto was afraid that maybe he'd hurt him or was about to wake up, and so he quickly got off of the bed before looking him over, wondering if maybe he sat on his arm or something.
On a closer inspection though, it appeared as if he was having a nightmare.
*********************************************************
Katsuya's Nightmare:
"Stupid dog!!" Kaiba yelled as he punched Katsuya's face in hard, the blonde pinned beneath him on the school floor when he did that. "Why the hell can't you just learn that I'm better than you?! So quit picking fights that you know you'll lose!" He roared out angrily before sending another fist into his bloody cheek.
It was so strange. Strange and kinda scary. Katsuya seemed to be watching from a distance as an enraged Seto proceeded to beat the living shit out of him. And for what, he didn't know. Right now he was huddled in a corner, finding that after a few times of trying to leave this hell pit, he only ended up back at the same place with every turn he took.
There was no way out.
"Kaiba, stop this!!" A boy with innocent eyes, tri coloured and spiky black hair, who looked way too young to be in a highschool shouted as he ran up to try and pry Seto off of his other self.
"Beat it Motou! Before you get the same!" Seto roared at the now frightened boy with all the strength he could put into his voice.
"Hey money bags," The other Katsuya wheezed out weakly, getting the CEO's attention. "I hate you." He whispered, watching Kaiba's eyes widen in shock with what he just said, before quickly returning his face to the angered look he had mere seconds ago. But this time his features were filled with sheer rage as he lifted his fist to strike at him again.
Katsuya covered his ears and tightly shut his eyes from where he sat, not wanting to see the image of Seto beating him like that or hear the disgusting sound of flesh hitting flesh. And what was with what that other Katsuya had said? He didn't hate Seto, he loved him!
...Despite the fact that Seto didn't love him back.
"Stop it! Stop it already!" He cried out, on the verge of tears with how araid he was, hoping to make the awful sounds and images he was seeing disappear.
Suddenly, without warning they just did. And everything went really quiet. The blonde timidly opened an eye to see what had happened, but was rather shocked to find himself in a rundown and dirty looking old house instead of the school.
He whipped his head around to see where he was. He appeared to in the living room of an ugly looking house. The place looked like a wreck, and the scent of beer attacked his nostrils with a rage, forcing him to plug his nose to keep the scent out. Why did this place seem so familiar to him? He was still sitting and in a corner, but that other Katsuya was nowhere to be found.
Katsuya lowered his hands from his nose and ears, but when his fingers lightly slid down his face, he couldn't but wince in pain. "What the hell?" He said out loud, gently rubbing at his throbbing cheek just to feel the sharp pain come back.
Looking up, he saw that there was a piece of a broken mirror on the splintering coffee table next to a few empty beer cans, and he got up to get it. Really needing to take a look at his face at this point. He picked up the glass, being careful to not cut himself with it as he did, and looked.
He gasped with what he saw. He had a giant blue bruise on his cheek, as well as a black eye and split lip. Seto didn't do this to him, did he? He was only given one sharp slap. Well, there was that *other* Katsuya, but that wasn't really him. Was it?
"What the hell are you doing here, boy?" A slurred and angered voice from behind him demanded.
Katsuya whipped his head in the direction of the enraged sounding voice, only to have his face met with a fist that sent him crashing into the coffee table with a crash and onto the floor. He quickly looked back up at his attacker just to see the murderous eyes of an older mad who looked an awful lot like him.
The man loomed over him threateningly, smirking when he watched the boy beneath him cringe. "Didn' I tell you that yur kicked out?" He slurred, regaining his angered look before reaching down to grab at his shoulders, pinning him to the floor before proceeding to kick his sides. Katsuya cried out in the pain shooting through his body, trying without too much luck to bring his arms up to block the hits with, but the man simply backhanded him sharply. Making his already throbbing face hurt all the more.
"Dad, stop it!" He cried out without knowing why. Was this man his father? He certainly hoped not, but what was going on? He couldn't really think anymore as panic took him over when he felt the man stop kicking as his hands roamed up and down his thighs gently before roughly making him spread out his legs, causing his eyes to widen at the act before he started to thrash beneath the obviously drunk man.
The older mans eyes seemed to widen before he grabbed at his shoulders again to shake him. "Wake up, Puppy." He commanded, in a voice that didn't sound so slurred all of a sudden.
Katsuya's eyes suddenly snapped open, and instead of finding himself in that stinking little living room, he was back in his bed with Seto over top of him as he stopped shaking him now that he was awake. It was just a dream.
His eyes widened at the sight of him before they quickly filled up with tears again. He was here to punish him for what he did to him. He was going to say that he hated him and that he wanted him out of his house, and his swollen heart couldn't help but shred at the thought.
"Am I fired?" He asked timidly, causing Kaiba's eyes to widen. Was he really this worried about getting fired? `No.' He thought sadly. `He's just worried about having to leave.' He thought, not really being able to blame him with how he acted earlier. The poor puppy was probably scared shitless of him.
Nevertheless, he thought about how he should answer that question anyway. It's not like the puppy would want to work for him when he figured out the truth anyway. "Yes, you are." He said simply, watching in shock as Katsuya hid his face into his hand before sobbing harder. Kaiba mentally cursed himself for that one. He should have thought of his response through a little better.
"A-are you kicking me out?" The blonde then asked, eyes becoming wider with the fear he felt.
The response he gave was instant. "No." He said softly.
Katsuya looked up at him, confusion clearly there in his blurry eyes. Seto sighed. "Katsuya, I'm sorry for slapping you like I did." He apologised awkwardly, not used to having to do it. "It wasn't your fault in the slightest, I knew perfectly well what I was doing last night. I was just afraid of what you told me."
Jou sniffed. "That I loved you?" The blonde choked out, still crying silently. He then sat up, to get a better look at him while he spoke.
Kaiba sighed again. Shakily this time. This was a lot harder than he thought it would be. "Yes." He admitted shamefully.
Katsuya blinked, a few tears still evident in his eyes. "But why?" He asked.
"Because I thought that you were lying. And that if we were to try and have a relationship, then you would only leave me when you started to hate me again." He explained slowly, watching the blonde's face carefully as he said this.
"B-but I wasn't lying, Seto! I swear I wasn't!" He pleaded, becoming desperate again. "I'd never hate you, not ever!" He cried out, suddenly starting to understand. At least he thought he was understanding. Perhaps that's what his dream was about. He kind of doubted that he would ever fist fight his own boss, but then again maybe they never got along all that well before the car accident either.
"Do you really mean that?" Seto asked, starting to doubt his idea of telling him about his little prank. He wanted the puppy so much for so long now that his heart ached. He just wanted it to end.
Katsuya nodded his head, afraid to say it now but still willing. "I love you. I wouldn't have slept with you if I didn't." He said, slowly reaching a hand out to gently take his.
Kaiba actually gave a small gasp at the small show of affection, not having expected it at all. He looked back at his puppy to see the sincerity in his caramel eyes, as well as the little black puppy that he still held in his other hand, and his heart simply melted. He wanted Katsuya, and Katsuya wanted him, so what was the harm in trying for a relationship?
Because of their situation, it most likely wouldn't last. But he could always try. Kaiba was going to fight to make sure that if he did this then his puppy never left him. He'd fight his stupid little halfwit friends to the death just to keep him.
With that in mind, Seto quickly leaned into Katsuya to kiss his mouth hungrily, and the blonde instantly responded. Forgetting about the puppy in his hands as he put it aside to wrap his arms around the CEO's neck in utter relief.
Seto reached his hands up to cup at the blonde's cheeks before slipping his tongue into his mouth. Katsuya ignored the small sting he felt at the gentle touch on his bruised cheek, and didn't say anything as he moaned in Kaiba's mouth. He was enjoying himself way too much to want to spoil things on something so trivial.
Kaiba was more than a little thrilled that his puppy wasn't turning him away because of what he'd done earlier. Add that to the fact that this was their first real kiss and he was just inwardly jumping for joy. He didn't have to trick Katsuya for it, steal it from him when in shock and neither of them were currently drunk. This truly was their first real kiss.
Unfortunately it did have to end as they both separated for some much needed air. Katsuya didn't have too much to say. He was simply speechless that this was really happening. So instead of talking he simply wrapped his arms around Seto's waist in a hug as he sighed in content. And Kaiba just loved the feel of his warm body against his. He'd have to try and get him back into bed soon.
"Seto?"
"Yes?"
"You promise not to hit me again?" Katsuya asked, remembering the slap as well as the scary dream and deciding that he never wanted that to happen to him ever again.
Seto squeezed his eyes shut at the request, feeling guilty about it all over again. "Never again." He promised whole heartedly. Meaning every single word of it too. `Hn. I'll have to remember to start hiring some more staff if he's not going to be working anymore.' He thought in amusement. But then it hit him.
"Puppy, look at me." He said, lifting the confused blonde's chin so that he was facing him. "If we do this, then you have to promise to *never* leave me." He said in a desperate tone, begging with his eyes.
This confused Katsuya thoroughly, but he still nodded his head eagerly. He had no intention of leaving him anyway. "I promise." He said, falling back into the warmth of Seto's arms, and not knowing how nervous the CEO was at this very moment. Trying to think of ways in which he could keep all of his friends away from him and his puppy.

"Puppy, look at me." He said, lifting the confused blonde's chin so that he was facing him. "If we do this, then you have to promise to *never* leave me." He said in a desperate tone, begging with his eyes.
This confused Katsuya thoroughly, but he still nodded his head eagerly. He had no intention of leaving him anyway. "I promise." He said, falling back into the warmth of Seto's arms, and not knowing how nervous the CEO was at this very moment. Trying to think of ways in which he could keep all of his friends away from him and his puppy.
