Mokuba was practically skipping down the street with how happy he was, a big smile on his face as he swung his bag of goodies back and forth, trying to decide which store to visit next in the downtown area, and not having an easy time with the task.
Just because he was filthy rich and got big allowances didn't mean that his big brother gave him four hundred dollars on a weekly basis, so he wanted to enjoy this to the fullest. He'd have to try and stick around the house a lot more because of this. That way, Seto would pay him to leave more often.
He bought so many things so far that he had to buy a large backpack just to ease up on the load. The backpack was full of video games, comics, toys, items for his bike and duel monsters cards that he had bought, and the plastic bag in his hand was full of candy. Everything from gummy bears, sour pops, chocolate bars, to mixed nuts. And he still had over a hundred dollars left to blow! He was in ten year old heaven!
Or at least he was, until a hand on his shoulder jerked him to a stop and forcefully turned him around. He paled instantly with who he saw, shock running through his system. How in the hell could she be out of school?! It didn't end for another hour and a half!
"Mokuba, I heard about how Seto took Jou back, and I want you to take me to him." She demanded hotly, an angered look in her eyes that he doubted was ever seen by many people.
The black haired boy gulped. His day of fun had officially ended.
oO&Oo
Kaiba's breathing was hitched as he panted hard to try and catch his breath in the hot and sticky air of his bedroom. The blonde beneath him was still tense and clinging onto him as he tried to loosen himself up enough to let his lover go so that he could rest his body next to him.
Just as suggested earlier, Kaiba and Jou had ran off to Seto's room when playtime called their names again, with the brunet in the lead and excitedly dragging his puppy by his hand all the way there, impatient as ever and wanting him so much that it almost hurt.
After nearly an hour of getting turned on with the feeling his boyfriend oiling him up with his massage, Katsuya felt that his back was feeling well enough for him to take his lover in again, at least one more time this day before they called it quits to build up their strength for the next time.
Finally, Jou managed to relax himself enough to allow Seto to pull out of him, and his body already ached at the lack of his warmth when he lay down next to him. Thankfully, Kaiba was quick to pull him close and hold onto him, his breath still a little ragged as it warmed the back of his puppy's neck. The CEO was cold without him too.
He was glad that they decided to take the day off from school and spend it with each other like this as well. He loved his puppy so much and wanted to show him his love every chance he got. Especially since he would need it most this particular day.
The blonde nearly shot himself with the misery he felt earlier this morning, but was now overjoyed that he wanted him back just as much as ever. And with the new knowledge that his father had been thrown away, he tried to be as careful with him as he could, not really knowing how fragile he was and not wanting to hurt him too much with his actions.
He suffered from abuse when he was child, so he knew about the physical pain that Jou must have suffered and could relate to it in a sense. But whenever Gozaburo would beat him, he was always comforted with the fact that he wasn't his real father, and he didn't love him as a father either. Jou did. He actually loved his father, even though the man put him through so much hell, making whatever treatment he received ten times worse.
Seto could only say that the most horrible thing to ever happen to him was when his step father would put a belt around his neck when studying, and tighten it with the more answers he got wrong, making him gasp for air while he worked. The beatings, punches and kicks he could stand, but the belt was far worse.
Seto nuzzled his puppy's neck, feeling the fine blonde hair that was there tickle his face. "You want to go again?" He purred. Already finding a way to forget about the past.
Katsuya's eyes widened. "Wow, you don't get tired do ya?"
The brunet started to kiss and lick at his neck. "Not when I've got something as delicious as you in my bed." He whispered.
Katsuya snickered. "Alright then," He agreed. "But on one condition."
Seto blinked. "Which would be?" He asked.
Even though he knew that Seto couldn't see it, Katsuya still got an evil look in his eyes. "I get the top." Was the simple request.
Kaiba groaned, letting his face drop into the blondes neck again. "I already gave it to you once today, can't I just have it from now on?" He said almost grumpily. He still got off on it, but he still preferred not to be the uke.
"C'mon Seto! I'm really sore now because of all the treatment you've been giving me. And if I don't get the top then I'm pretty sure you won't be getting any for the next week or so." Katsuya grinned, knowing how his boyfriend would be reacting to this and also knowing that he would be getting his way.
Seto actually growled. "Are you serious?" He asked, squeezing him a little tighter in half annoyance and half amusement.
The blonde snickered. "Yup!" He chirped. Seto had only let him have the top once before, and with the way he continually cried out and ordered him to go faster through his snarls and groans of pleasure, it was obvious to him that Seto never let anyone else dominate him before, and wasn't used to not being the one in charge. And he wanted to hear him cry out like that again.
Kaiba then sighed, if he wanted to get off again then he'd have to go with what his puppy wanted. He rolled himself onto his back with Jou on top of him, and the blonde grinned broadly as he turned himself over to face his dragon before planting excited kisses on his mouth and neck.
Seto decided to step in at this point and help him out a bit. He placed a hand behind his puppy's neck to hold him still as he brought his mouth forward for a slower and far deeper kiss, letting the blonde have his way with him as he opened his mouth for his tongue to slide in and explore.
Katsuya was in heaven. He knew how much something as simple as having the top meant to Seto, so the fact that he was getting it now showed just how much he was loved by his boyfriend. But Seto always got to show him his love, and Katsuya wanted to return the gesture.
He placed himself in a better position between Kaiba's legs before grinding his hips into him, making the brunet moan through the kiss as they both became hard at the act. Jou started to grind himself between his legs again, loving the moans that Seto was making and having a hard time keeping his own under control. Somehow hearing Seto moan out in ecstacy was different when he was the one making him do it.
"Christ Katsuya, hurry up and fuck me already if your going to do it!" Kaiba snarled at him, another piece of evidence that he never had a seme before Katsuya.
Katsuya quickly positioned himself above him, getting ready to comply with his needy demand. But before he could enter his lover, the sound of a small boy calling out for his brother could be heard echoing through the grand mansion.
"Onichan!! Where are you!?!" Mokuba cried out, snapping the two teens out of their steamy state.
Seto's head fell back on his pillow in complete and utter disappointment as he and Jou closed their eyes and groaned at the interruption.
"There is no way he could have spent all that money so soon." Kaiba panted out, trying to catch his breath.
"Should we go see what he wants?" The blonde asked, hoping in the back of his mind that Seto would say no and that they could fuck like rabbits anyway.
Unfortunately for him, Kaiba thought it best to see what his brother wanted before they got back down to business, and so they both regrettably untangled themselves from each others warmth to get dressed and go down stairs.
oO&Oo
When Seto and Katsuya walked downstairs to the sound of Mokuba's calling, hand in hand, they didn't expect to see him with another person, and Katsuya's mouth hung open in shock at the very sight of her standing there.
"Sh-Shizuka?"
"ONICHAN!" The auburn haired girl cried out in a mixture of relief and happiness at the sight of him as she ran over to where her big brother stood.
Jou dropped Seto's hand to run with her and excitedly meet her halfway at the bottom of the steps with a giant hug, picking her up and squeezing tight her until she let out a little "eep" and he had to put her down and look her over. Seto had to remind himself not to be jealous at the sight of them as he clenched his now cold fist at the lack of Katsuya's hand not being in it. This was his little sister he was hugging, and he could handle that. Not a problem.
"Shizuka what are you doing here?" Jou asked excitedly. "I thought you went home with mom!"
"Well thank you! It's very nice to see you too." Her voice was drooling with sarcasm as she slapped him playfully on the shoulder, and he only snickered at her antics.
Katsuya looked over at where Seto still stood on the stairs, a bright smile on his face. "Seto you know my sister Shizuka, right?" He asked with a hand on her shoulder, and when Seto looked down at her just to see the scowl on her face, his own eyes instinctively narrowed back at her.
Katsuya looked a little taken back at the look on his face before turning back to face his sister, even more shocked to see the rare scowl that was there.
"Okay... what's going on?" He asked cautiously. This was his sister and his lover that he was dealing with, and he didn't like the tension that was seen so clearly between them.
"Nisama you can come home with me now." She said heatedly, grabbing his hand and still sneering at an open mouthed Kaiba. Just what in the name of seven hells did she mean by that?!
"I talked with okasaan and she said that as long as you got a job and paid a little rent then you could live with us again. You won't have to be his servant anymore!"
Jou blinked in shock, his mind trying to process what was just said and not fully hearing the last part. He could go and live with his sister? See her all the time and everyday? And it was actually alright with his mother?! 'OH MY GOD!!'
Seto simply stood on the steps, watching blankly as his puppy's face lit up at the idea of going to live all the way across the country with a sister who cared for him and mother who didn't. His heart broke at the idea of being without him, and he was forced to fight back a choked sob by biting his lip. After going through all of that just to lose him like this made his heart pound and fists clench. It wasn't fair, but he didn't have a say in the matter. It was up to Katsuya.
Not only was his heart breaking, but he was pissed. And the two didn't make a very innocent combination. Who the fuck did she think she was coming here to try and take him away from him?! After all he went through just to get him back this little twit was going to be the reason he wouldn't see him anymore!?
Mokuba saw the look on his brothers face, and felt horrible for bringing her back here to take Jou away. But it wasn't like she gave him much of a choice, right? His ears were still burning from when she grabbed them! The black haired boy slowly made his way up the stairs to where he stood before taking his shaking hand into his for the silent support, feeling awful at the thought of the blonde leaving them again. He didn't want Jou to go either. Things were so much better around here when he was around.
Katsuya's smile faltered when he looked up to where his Koi was standing with his brother, just to see the CEO not even looking at him with his head turned away to the side and fists clenched. His whole face dropped at the sight of him. He couldn't leave.
He loved his sister, he did, but he wanted to be with Seto now. He could get a job over here and be with the one he loves in Domino. Besides, he seriously doubted that his mother was too thrilled at the idea of having him back anyway, and personally he didn't want to be around her either.
Jou sighed, placing a hand on Shizuka's shoulder. He would miss her, but at least this way he could see her a lot more often, and he wouldn't have to leave Seto or his friends either. "I'm not going sis." He said gently.
Seto whipped his head at him in shock, and Shizuka simply stuttered while Mokube tried to keep from jumping up and down victoriously with the wide smile on his face. He wasn't going with her. Kaiba sighed in sheer relief when he heard those words leave his blonde puppy's lips. Evidently not even his sister could come between them and their love.
"B-but onisan, why would you want to stay here after what he did to you?" Shizuka asked heatedly, motioning to where Kaiba was standing in shock, and the CEO simply glared at her. How dare she try to take his puppy from him?! He said that he didn't want to go and that should be the end of the discussion! What the hell was her problem?!
Katsuya sighed again, running a hand through his still damp with sweat hair. He should have expected this kind of reaction from her, but because she was his sister he didn't. She didn't understand. None of them did. When would they all see that he had a mind of his own and that he really wanted to stay?
"Shizuka despite what you may have heard, Kaiba didn't kidnap or torture me, and he isn't making me stay here either. He asked me to stay because he loves me, and I love him, sis." He explained as seriously as he could, knowing how strange the look on his face and the tone in his voice may seem to her. She was one of the few people to ever see when he was actually being serious, but even then it didn't happen all that often. "I've made my decision, and I'm not going. You can give my regards to okasaan though." The blonde finished softly, hoping that he got through to her.
If anyone could see that side of him, know it was real, and believe his words, it could only be her.
She then sighed, leaning in a little closer to him to whisper. "Kat-chan are you sure about him?" Good, evidently she was considering it.
He laughed out loud at that. To think how the tables had turned so drastically! He was supposed to be worrying over her, not the other way around! "Imouto, I've never been more sure of anything in my entire life!" He exclaimed while hugging her close and not bothering to whisper it to her. (Imouto=little sister)
She still looked a little uneasy about it though. "Will he be able to keep you safe from tousan?" She whispered again in his ear. She knew about the abuse from their father. In fact that was why she was taken with her mother and Katsuya never came with them. She hated how her kasaan could think such horrible things about her brother, but there was really nothing that could be done about it.
Her kasaan told her once that there was too much of her father in Katsuya, and that was why she didn't want him. But Shizuka knew better. Just because her onichan looked like her father didn't mean that he would become abusive like him.
Jou's smile never faded from his face. "He already did." He replied warmly. "Tousan's in jail now, I don't have to see him for a long time if I don't want to."
The look on the girls face was priceless, and Seto could only wonder what they were talking about since a lot of it was in whispers. Though judging by the joyous laugh that the blonde gave out he guessed that his chances were all good, and he made a mental note to himself that if this girl changed his puppy's mind about leaving then he would see to it that all the city rats would mysteriously find their way into her house and into her bed. He smirked at the thought.
Shizuka looked back up at where Kaiba was standing in her shock, and although she didn't appreciate the look on his face that told her how he knew he would be getting his way, she loved the idea that he was protecting her big brother from their awful father, and the feeling of her spirit lifting at the idea that he would be safe everyday made the smile appearing on her face wider and the shine in her eyes all the brighter.
It was a strange thing every time she saw it, her brother when he was actually being serious. And whenever he was actually being like this, she could always tell that he knew what he was doing and trusted his instincts more than anything. One hundred percent. Now was one of those times. And she couldn't help but wonder how often he would be showing it with the great Seto Kaiba around to guide him.
"I just have one question for you." She said, causing both Mokuba's and Seto's brows to raise curiously. Just what in the hell was she after anyway?
Seto narrowed his eyes at her. "And that would be?" If she tried asking him something stupid or personal then he swore to throw a fit.
She grinned up at him. "When the two of you get married will he be Katsuya Kaiba, or will you be Seto Jonouchi?"
Seto and Jou both sweatdropped at her before doing a violent facevault, and Mokuba burst out laughing at the simple hilarity of it all. She was a lot easier to convince then what they had all originally thought, and Katsuya seriously hoped that the others would be as easy to convince as she was. But then again, she was his sister, and he could expect more from her because of it.
The blonde managed to compose himself enough to sit on his knees, trying to hide his pink face from everyone in the room while Seto sat on the steps, trying to calm Mokuba's laughter without getting too angered at him. He didn't find it very funny at all! What if they did get married one day and Katsuya actually wanted him to take his last name? What in the hell would he do then? He may have hated his step father but that didn't mean he wanted another last name! How in the hell was he supposed to tell Jou that it was out of the question without provoking his anger? 'God fucking dammit!'
He turned back to where his puppy and sister still were, and the blush on the blonde's face instantly chased away the quickly forming scowl. "I-I wouldn't mind taking your name." He said nervously, not fully making eye contact with him before quickly continuing. "But y'know, that doesn't mean I expect you to mar-"
"Will you marry me?"
And the room went dead silent.
To Be Continued.............................................
A.N: I'll request five reviews before continuing please And thanks for all the reviews i got last time! Someone told me ( I can't remember the name ) that while my writing was good, i kept on switching from past to present tense. If anyone sees any mistakes like that then please don't hesitate to point them out and correct. I'd appreciate it since it could actually help me with my writing and i can't really tell the differences in some cases. So thanks for pointing that out
Kunou: It will be a sort of Otogi and Honda relationship, but only hints that something will start up between them. I like the pairing, but not enough to write a whole story about them. It's like Yugi/Yami or Yami/Anzu, I like the couples, but I can't write fics on them. Mainly because I don't have the time to keep regular updates with all those fics, but by the end of this story you will see signs that they are together, or at least starting to get together.
Bi Panda: (did I spell it right this time? ) I'm glad I helped you, very glad. I wanted to send a message out with that chapter that even if you know the person abusing you, and they apologize, it still isn't right. I read a fic once where Jou was raped by Yami but then he forgave him and they were friends again, and while I didn't flame, it made me sick reading it. Because in the real world things don't happen like that. You said that I described you, when really I was trying to describe myself. I know what it's like to wake up with someone's hands on you when they are drunk, and having to say things you don't want to just to get left alone. So I wrote that in the story to help people going through the same and to show them that just because they apologize doesn't make the damage done any less or better. Basically a moral for that chapter. I guess that's another reason why I was so quick to repost this. I won't go into further details about myself, and in fact I feel kind of guilty putting this in where anybody can read it, but the fact that you came to just a realization about what is and isn't right was enough. I apologize if this message is embarrassing you, but I figured that if you could write that in a review to me then perhaps this would matter so much, but if you want I will take it down, but I just wanted to say thank you for fulfilling the point to those chapters.
Bye now

He didn't want Jou to go either. Things were so much better around here when he was around.
Katsuya's smile faltered when he looked up to where his Koi was standing with his brother, just to see the CEO not even looking at him with his head turned away to the side and fists clenched. His whole face dropped at the sight of him. He couldn't leave.
He loved his sister, he did, but he wanted to be with Seto now. He could get a job over here and be with the one he loves in Domino. Besides, he seriously doubted that his mother was too thrilled at the idea of having him back anyway, and personally he didn't want to be around her either.
Jou sighed, placing a hand on Shizuka's shoulder. He would miss her, but at least this way he could see her a lot more often, and he wouldn't have to leave Seto or his friends either. "I'm not going sis." He said gently.
Seto whipped his head at him in shock, and Shizuka simply stuttered while Mokube tried to keep from jumping up and down victoriously with the wide smile on his face. He wasn't going with her. Kaiba sighed in sheer relief when he heard those words leave his blonde puppy's lips. Evidently not even his sister could come between them and their love.
"B-but onisan, why would you want to stay here after what he did to you?" Shizuka asked heatedly, motioning to where Kaiba was standing in shock, and the CEO simply glared at her. How dare she try to take his puppy from him?! He said that he didn't want to go and that should be the end of the discussion! What the hell was her problem?!
Katsuya sighed again, running a hand through his still damp with sweat hair. He should have expected this kind of reaction from her, but because she was his sister he didn't. She didn't understand. None of them did. When would they all see that he had a mind of his own and that he really wanted to stay?
"Shizuka despite what you may have heard, Kaiba didn't kidnap or torture me, and he isn't making me stay here either. He asked me to stay because he loves me, and I love him, sis." He explained as seriously as he could, knowing how strange the look on his face and the tone in his voice may seem to her. She was one of the few people to ever see when he was actually being serious, but even then it didn't happen all that often. "I've made my decision, and I'm not going. You can give my regards to okasaan though." The blonde finished softly, hoping that he got through to her.
If anyone could see that side of him, know it was real, and believe his words, it could only be her.
She then sighed, leaning in a little closer to him to whisper. "Kat-chan are you sure about him?" Good, evidently she was considering it.
He laughed out loud at that. To think how the tables had turned so drastically! He was supposed to be worrying over her, not the other way around! "Imouto, I've never been more sure of anything in my entire life!" He exclaimed while hugging her close and not bothering to whisper it to her. (Imouto=little sister)
She still looked a little uneasy about it though. "Will he be able to keep you safe from tousan?" She whispered again in his ear. She knew about the abuse from their father. In fact that was why she was taken with her mother and Katsuya never came with them. She hated how her kasaan could think such horrible things about her brother, but there was really nothing that could be done about it.
Her kasaan told her once that there was too much of her father in Katsuya, and that was why she didn't want him. But Shizuka knew better. Just because her onichan looked like her father didn't mean that he would become abusive like him.
Jou's smile never faded from his face. "He already did." He replied warmly. "Tousan's in jail now, I don't have to see him for a long time if I don't want to."
The look on the girls face was priceless, and Seto could only wonder what they were talking about since a lot of it was in whispers. Though judging by the joyous laugh that the blonde gave out he guessed that his chances were all good, and he made a mental note to himself that if this girl changed his puppy's mind about leaving then he would see to it that all the city rats would mysteriously find their way into her house and into her bed. He smirked at the thought.
Shizuka looked back up at where Kaiba was standing in her shock, and although she didn't appreciate the look on his face that told her how he knew he would be getting his way, she loved the idea that he was protecting her big brother from their awful father, and the feeling of her spirit lifting at the idea that he would be safe everyday made the smile appearing on her face wider and the shine in her eyes all the brighter.
It was a strange thing every time she saw it, her brother when he was actually being serious. And whenever he was actually being like this, she could always tell that he knew what he was doing and trusted his instincts more than anything. One hundred percent. Now was one of those times. And she couldn't help but wonder how often he would be showing it with the great Seto Kaiba around to guide him.
"I just have one question for you." She said, causing both Mokuba's and Seto's brows to raise curiously. Just what in the hell was she after anyway?
Seto narrowed his eyes at her. "And that would be?" If she tried asking him something stupid or personal then he swore to throw a fit.
She grinned up at him. "When the two of you get married will he be Katsuya Kaiba, or will you be Seto Jonouchi?"
Seto and Jou both sweatdropped at her before doing a violent facevault, and Mokuba burst out laughing at the simple hilarity of it all. She was a lot easier to convince then what they had all originally thought, and Katsuya seriously hoped that the others would be as easy to convince as she was. But then again, she was his sister, and he could expect more from her because of it.
The blonde managed to compose himself enough to sit on his knees, trying to hide his pink face from everyone in the room while Seto sat on the steps, trying to calm Mokuba's laughter without getting too angered at him. He didn't find it very funny at all! What if they did get married one day and Katsuya actually wanted him to take his last name? What in the hell would he do then? He may have hated his step father but that didn't mean he wanted another last name! How in the hell was he supposed to tell Jou that it was out of the question without provoking his anger? 'God fucking dammit!'
He turned back to where his puppy and sister still were, and the blush on the blonde's face instantly chased away the quickly forming scowl. "I-I wouldn't mind taking your name." He said nervously, not fully making eye contact with him before quickly continuing. "But y'know, that doesn't mean I expect you to mar-"
"Will you marry me?"
And the room went dead silent.
To Be Continued.............................................
A.N: I'll request five reviews before continuing please And thanks for all the reviews i got last time! Someone told me ( I can't remember the name ) that while my writing was good, i kept on switching from past to present tense. If anyone sees any mistakes like that then please don't hesitate to point them out and correct. I'd appreciate it since it could actually help me with my writing and i can't really tell the differences in some cases. So thanks for pointing that out
Kunou: It will be a sort of Otogi and Honda relationship, but only hints that something will start up between them. I like the pairing, but not enough to write a whole story about them. It's like Yugi/Yami or Yami/Anzu, I like the couples, but I can't write fics on them. Mainly because I don't have the time to keep regular updates with all those fics, but by the end of this story you will see signs that they are together, or at least starting to get together.
Bi Panda: (did I spell it right this time? ) I'm glad I helped you, very glad. I wanted to send a message out with that chapter that even if you know the person abusing you, and they apologize, it still isn't right. I read a fic once where Jou was raped by Yami but then he forgave him and they were friends again, and while I didn't flame, it made me sick reading it. Because in the real world things don't happen like that. You said that I described you, when really I was trying to describe myself. I know what it's like to wake up with someone's hands on you when they are drunk, and having to say things you don't want to just to get left alone. So I wrote that in the story to help people going through the same and to show them that just because they apologize doesn't make the damage done any less or better. Basically a moral for that chapter. I guess that's another reason why I was so quick to repost this. I won't go into further details about myself, and in fact I feel kind of guilty putting this in where anybody can read it, but the fact that you came to just a realization about what is and isn't right was enough. I apologize if this message is embarrassing you, but I figured that if you could write that in a review to me then perhaps this would matter so much, but if you want I will take it down, but I just wanted to say thank you for fulfilling the point to those chapters.
Bye now
