"What? Come on Teach! Can't I work with somebody else?" Jounouchi pleaded.
"No Katsuya. You need to bring your grades up and I believe that maybe this project can help.." the teacher said, slowly losing patience.
"This is ridiculous.." Seto muttered.
"That's it!! Both of you are working together and that's it!" the teacher said, slamming her hand on her desk to get both boys' attention.
Jou retreated back to his seat, again defeated. 'Man..this sucks..' he thought to himself. But, he also couldn't fight away, a little tiny feeling of happiness, and it annoyed the hell out of him.
As the bell ran, Jou picked up his things and walked over to where a tall CEO was rising out of his seat.
"So..where do you wanna do this thing?" Jou asked, feeling suddenly awkward.
"Look Mutt, I'm better off doing this alone. All you'll need to do is sign your name.."
If this were anyone else, Jounouchi probably would have happily agreed, but it wasn't anyone else. It was Seto Kaiba.
"What are ya trying to say, Kaiba? I'm not good enough to work with you?"
"Yes, and that you aren't smart enough.." Seto replied, picking up his briefcase. He tried walking around Jou, but he blocked him.
"I am good enough ya big jerk! I'm even better than-"
"If it will shut you up, be at my house at 7:00" Seto said, cutting off Jou and walking pass him to the door.
Jou blinked, he hadn't actually expected Seto to invite him over.
"Uh..Yeah!! I'll show you who's better!!" Jou yelled after him, knowing that he couldn't hear him.
"I feel sorry for you.." Honda said walking up next to Jounouchi.
"Yeah, you and me both.."
xXxXx
He closed his front door, throwing his bag and keys to the floor. Jou could hear his father's snores coming from their beat up sofa.
Usually he would be happy to be out of school, but all day he dreaded going home. For some reason, he was really anticipating going to Kaiba's.
He quietly walked pass the couch with his sleeping father, and into his room, where he quickly changed.
He had been feeling weird around Kaiba ever since they first kissed. It was so unexpected, and yet Jou welcomed it. Jou still had no idea why Seto had actually kissed him, but he knew it wasn't because he liked him. Seto had proven that when he told Jou it meant nothing. 'I don't get him..' Jou thought. 'First he hates me, then he kisses me..and now it's like nothing ever happened..' It all left Jounouchi so confused, and he felt even more alone then before and he didn't know if he was supposed to let himself love Kaiba, or go back to hating him.
Jou looked up at the clock. It read 5:00. 'I have some time to eat...' he thought getting up to walk into the kitchen, trying to leave his thoughts behind him.
As he grabbed a can of soda and a alrady made sandwich, he made a mental note to remember to leave a little before 6. It would be a long walk and an even longer night.
xXxXx
As Jounouchi walked he felt a slight fall breeze blow, almost forcing him to keep walking even though his legs had turned to Jell-O. He felt he had walked not for an hour, but a day or two. He underestimated the distance between his rundown little apartment and Seto's mansion across town.
By the time he had a full view of the huge estate, he wasn't tired anymore, but he was nervous. The Jell-O feeling in his legs, were exchanged for a knot tied in his stomach. Why was he so nervous?
He began walking across the front lawn facing two heavy oak wood doors, when he heard "Jounouchi?"
Jou looked up and saw Mokuba.
Mokuba was a lot different then Seto, he had such a big heart, and warm and welcoming eyes. He didn't judge Jounouchi, even though he heard the comments Seto had made about him. Personally, Jou had taken a liking to the boy.
"What are you doing here?" Mokuba asked.
"Oh..hey Mokuba, I came to work on a project with Seto, he here?" Jou said shoving his hands into his coat pocket.
"Oh yeah! Come in!" Mokuba said cheerfully, pulling open the doors to reveal, what Jou thought, was a living room.
When Jou stepped in, he was in awe. Just that one room was as big as his whole apartment building.
He began scanning all of the area he could see. To the left were huge sofas and a big screen t.v.
Jou continued gazing across the room until his eyes met with blue ones.
"Seto! Look who's here! It's Jounouchi!" Mokuba said running over to Seto, who was now standing at the entry to a stairwell.
"Yes..I see, the mutt decided to show up.." Seto said looking directly at Jounouchi.
"Mokuba, why don't you go upstairs now.."
"Um..okay Seto.." Mokuba said passing the CEO on the stairs.
"Uh..so where is it?" Jou asked, once again feeling an awkward silence beginning to creep up on him.
"I finished it about an hour ago..do you know what time it, Katsuya?" Seto asked stepping forward.
"Eh.." Jou actually didn't know, but he figured it must have been around 7. He shifted his weight to lean on his other leg. "No.."
"It's 8:30."
"Already?" Jou asked, surprised.
"Yes.." Seto said, slowly losing more and more patience.
"Well you still could have waited!" Jou said in his defense.
"I don't like waiting.."
"Fine! Can I at least see it?"
Seto stared at Jou a minute, almost piercing him with his stare.
"Fine, follow me.." he said, turning around to begin walking up the stairs.
Jou followed Seto and passed, what seemed, like a thousand rooms until finally Seto pulled open the door to one of them.
When Jou stepped inside the first thing he noticed was a rather large desk, sitting on the opposite side of the room. It had a computer and piles of paper occupying its surface. Jou figured this must be his office.
"Here" Seto said, handing 2 pieces of paper to him.
Jounouchi took the papers and began reading.
Seto crossed his arms. "I don't have all day.."
Ignoring that comment, Jounouchi read the rest of the report.
"It's pretty good.." Jou said looking up at Seto.
"Pretty good?" Seto asked.
"Yeah.." Jou stuttered out, suddenly blushing.
"I mean it's okay.." he added.
Seto stared down at the slightly shorter boy. He had never really noticed how warm his eyes were. It almost bothered him, to see someone so open and so kind. And Seto began hating the fact that he couldnt turn away from them.
Then, like in the library it happened. They kissed. This time, Jou was the one who made the move, starting out soft, and quick.
But Seto took this opportunity and gently tilted Jounouchi's head so that he could now enter his mouth. And that he did.
He slid his tongue into Jou's mouth and Jounouchi excepted and did the same, pushing his tongue into Seto's.
They stayed like that until they needed a break for air. And after taking a quick breath, they were back in each other's kiss with more passion.
Jou wrapped his arms around Seto's waist pulling him into the kiss even further. And Seto worked on pulling off Jounouchi's jacket, which soon fell to the floor.But just then there was a knock.
"Seto! You got a call!" Mokuba yelled through the closed office door.
The blonde pulled away quickly and said "I better get going!" and with that ran out of the room, almost knocking over Mokuba on the other side.
After regaining balance, Mokuba asked "What's his problem?"
[Yup! Another kiss!! There is probably gonna be only 2 or 3 more chapters and they should be up real soon! I hope ya enjoyed! And please review, with any comments or suggestions! Thanks!]
