Chapter 4: Suspence

The two boys ignored one another until lunch, when as Kaiba was strolling down the corridor Jounouchi, out of the blue grabbed the brown haired boy into the boys toilets. Kaiba started to stare at the white tile directly above the smaller boy's head. Kaiba knew that if he looked into the younger boy's eye's he'd surely melt. They stood in silence for a few minutes, some of the time waiting to be alone as other boys entered and left the toilets, leaving the pair standing in the middle of the empty room.

Kaiba was just opening his mouth when the other boy spoke; "Umm... Kaiba?" "Yes Katsuya" Kaiba replied formally, still trying to avoid the hazel eyes somewhere in front of him. "Hey...Ummm...thanks for the lift this morning!" He said shyly "that's okay, after all my driver did almost ran you over!" Was Kaiba actually having a proper conversation with the blond? Impossible, and yet it continued; "Well are you still coming to Ryou's for the party on Saturday?" the blond continued. "mmm" Jounouchi took this as a yes. "Well Ryou and Bakura were thinking maybe they should have everyone over tomorrow as well, and well I got voted to tell you, don't ask me why, they wouldn't tell me..." The mutt sighed. Was he worth spending the night with the likes of Otogi and that idiot Honda? The answer was a definite yes. Jou was a great kid, he'd realised that deep down he'd probably always liked him, this was just the opportunity Kaiba had been waiting for, really. But did he want to seem that obvious? Oh what the hell!!? "I guess I could tell Mokuba to stay a friends house that night!" Seto knew that his answer would confuse the blond, it was easy to see that he was already confused enough already but Kaiba liked to push people to their limits!

"Is that a yes Kaiba?" Jounouchi asked, confused. Seto smirked at his desired affect, the blond looked even cuter and more innocent when he was confused or determined. "Yes Katsuya." Inside, Jounouchi was practically jumping for joy but in front of his bishie he didn't want anything to show; "Oh. Okay then, I'll tell the others!" He said, trying to conceal his excitement. He then walked slowly over to Kaiba and brushed their lips together briefly before leaving an astonished Kaiba in the empty boys toilets. So did this mean that the mutt did like him? Or was he just teasing, maybe he'd been talking to his little brother and this was some plot to keep away from his work, he'd been nagging him to get out the house more often recently, this thought angered Kaiba. Oh well... it looked like he had no choice but to wait 'till tomorrow to find out...

(later the same day (Thursday))
He tried not to show it but secretly he was excited at the prospects of the following night. He was distracted from his studies, luckily Jounouchi wasn't in any of his classes today so he didn't notice his strange behaviour. Otogi did. Otogi was angry, he knew that Jounouchi didn't like him, neither did Kaiba but were they just ganging up against him, going to Ryou's together just to rub it in his face? Did Kaiba realise that him and Jounouchi were going together? Or did the dog forget to tell him that? He, after being refused by Jounouchi was flying solo, as were Malik and Y. Malik. Yami and Yugi were going as a couple, they had been for some time now... Honda and Anzu were going together as were Ryou and Bakura and now Jou and Kaiba. Mai was the other one who was going by herself, no doubt hoping to get her hands on the blond, everyone seemed to love him, what's not to love? That mop of untidy dirty blond hair, golden hazel eyes..... No! stop it! If he was going to move on he had to forget the blond... He turned to Kaiba who was lost in thought.......did Kaiba really love Jounouchi? He can't! But then why would he agree to go with Jounouchi? Maybe he just invited him...... Otogi decided on this, however spent the rest of the day still thinking it over...

Kaiba was also thinking along the same lines as the dice master. He knew that Yugi and Yami were going to Ryou's together as they'd been a couple for quite some time and he knew that Ryou had somehow persuaded Bakura that hosts of parties have together, regardless of their sex even if they didn't do anything together and if they didn't it was thought to be impolite or something... Kaiba sighed. Anzu and Honda were going together, everyone knew that, Anzu had been so depressed that Yami and Yugi were both gay and that they loved each other that Honda had asked her to help soften the blow, even though most of his friends had realised that he'd started to like his best friend as more than just a friend.

On the flip side he realised this left Malik, y. Malik, Mai, himself and of course Jou going single, or were Jou and himself going together? What did Jounouchi mean when he asked him? Did he mean could he come or did he mean could he come with him as a date? Was Kaiba wishing and praying they were? Was he gay? NO! He couldn't be gay could he ? He liked girls, he just didn't trust them right? He racked his brains for a girl in his memory that he liked... He found the vision of their new English teacher that had arrived the other day, he like her right?! Of course he did, didn't he? Well even if he was gay, he'd never fall for a mutt like Jounouchi would he?!! HELP!!

"Kaiba-kun?!" Kaiba looked up to see his grumpy old math teacher staring at him intently, along with the majority of the class, pretending to be interested, this included Otogi and Mai; "What?" he said groggily. "Well it's half way through our pop quiz and we all want to know what you got for question 5?!" The teacher said, obviously starting to get impatient. "Oh...ummm...what was the question again?!" Kaiba asked, after looking down at his paper to see he'd only done the first question before he'd drifted off to thinking about the party. "x2 19 =44" "Um.. okay, first you minus the 19 to get 25, then square root the twenty five to get 5!" Kaiba answered waking up briefly before starting to rest his head back on his arms, which were folded on the desk in front of him. "thank you Kaiba-kun!" The teacher finished, obviously rather annoyed ; "okay... now.." She started to say as the fire bell suddenly rang and the whole class bar Kaiba charged for the door. Instead, he took two paces to his left and found himself next to the French window. He opened it, hopped onto the sill and jumped neatly, landing cat like on the outside just to be grabbed from the basketball court and taken round to the back of school to face the blond.
"Thought you'd come out this way...!" the boy said, grinning wildly. "what now Katsuya?... Wait did you pull the fire alarm?!!" Kaiba said after pausing slightly. "Yep" He replied simply. "Did you do that all for me?!" Kaiba asked impressed. "Don't flatter yourself, I wanted to skive math and... I wanted to talk to you..!" He mumbled the last part. "Well?" Kaiba asked now slightly annoyed and aroused as the two of them were all alone, away form everyone... "Oh... I just wanted to ask you for Ryou, could you please bring a sleeping bag, but if you don't have one, he'll give you some sheets, thought I'd pass on the message as no-one else would." He stated, then tried to walk off. Seto grabbed him by the arm softly and trie to pull him back to kiss him but he saw the blond wince at his touch... "Are you okay? What's wrong with your arm?" "Nothing moron, just leave me alone!" Kaiba froze as the other boy walked away rapidly across the grounds to the now silent school. Why wouldn't the blond tell him? What happened to his arm? Why was Seto as worried as he was? surely it was nothing......He didn't care what happened to the mutt1 So why did he keep having to reassure himself? Kaiba shook it off and quickly headed to the cafeteria as it was now lunch time, with the fire bell and Jounouchi and his short conversation. He had collected his food on his tray and was just heading towards his usual lone table in the corner when little Yugi stood up and yelled across the room; "Seto! Come and sit with us and we can discuss the party!" Yugi sat back down and held on to his Yami's hand as they ate, yugi with his right, Yami with his left. Kaiba hesitantly stopped at the table seeing a pair of liquid gold eyes looking up sorrowfully at his pair of anxious, surreal blue ones. At a nod from Jounouchi and a small smile from the dice master he sat down next to the puppy.

They then discussed the party, including what games they were going to play. They all decided to play truth or dare, the whole group instantly agreed or were forced into agreeing except for Jounouchi who made a fuss; "No way man! I'll only play if we're allowed to refuse certain dares that are way out of the question, I mean I don't want to end up kissing Kaiba or anything..!" He fell silent, blushing as the whole table instantly turned to face him and the other in question, who thought for a second and headed for the hall, walking straight through to the toilets. He was just closing the door to the of the stalls when Jounouchi arrived : "Look I don't know what you think you're doing mutt but you'd better let me go so I can pee!" Kaiba said fiercely. "You could go in here for all I care, I only came to apologise, and I'm only going to say it once" Jounouchi challenged Kaiba. "Alright, but I don't really need it anyway" He replied smiling and blushing slightly at the blond's last comment. "Okay but I just wanted to say I'm sorry, because I thought you cared...." He said softly before slowly exiting the boys restrooms to leave Kaiba once again speechless.
