Author's Notes: This story is basically an ongoing collection of ficlets inspired by the LiveJournal community '15minuteficlets'. Each week, the moderators post one word and the writers get 15 minutes to write as much as they can.

One chapter will not relate to the next – each chapter title will contain the word given for that ficlet challenge. I always write SetoxJou ficlets. ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or any of it's characters.

Word #58 – Drenched

Jounouchi Katsuya sloshed through the flooded sidewalks of Domino, silently cursing himself for being so rude and inconsiderate towards the person he cared about most.

He and Seto got into a fight earlier that morning, about something so meaningless and stupid that Jou couldn't even remember what it was.

Now he was on his way back to Seto's house to apologize, even if it meant having to nearly swim down the streets to get there. His blue jeans were soaked through, making them heavy. His usually fluffy blonde hair was now dangling lifeless in front of his face, the water dripping off his bangs into his eyes.

It hadn't rained this hard in a long time.

Jou shivered.

Kaiba Seto stood in his bedroom, leaning against the wall. He stared out his window, unable to see much since the rain was coming down in thick sheets.

He sighed, remembering the fight he and his lover had earlier in the day. Seto felt a pang of guilt, and wondered how quickly he could get to Jou's house.

He sat down on the edge of his bed and rested his head in his hands. Seto was never one to feel this guilty about anything, but when it came to his puppy… Well, things were different.

I'm going.

Jou finally reached the gates of the Kaiba mansion. He quietly pushed them open and walked briskly up the long, winding driveway to the door.

He raised his hand to knock but quickly retracted it, starting to have second thoughts about coming to Seto's house this late at night to apologize.

What if he's still mad at me?

Jou turned his back to the door, thinking. He leaned against it and slid down into a sitting position. The overhang above the door was just large enough to keep him dry.

Seto grabbed his coat and flew down the flight of stairs to the door. I have to apologize to Jou. Life's too short to hold grudges.

Seto twisted the knob and flung the door open only to see Jou looking up at him with a surprised look set upon his features. Seto smiled softly, realizing Jou had probably been sitting out there all night thinking the same things he'd been thinking. Jou stood up, face-to-face with Seto.

"I'm sorry."

"Me too." Seto said, pulling him in for a kiss. He held Jou close to him; his clothes getting drenched, but he didn't care. His puppy was here with him now, and that was all that mattered.
