Chap 15~ Meeting in the Dark
The next week seemed to pass by in a flash for both Seto and Jou. Seto was finally able to catch up on his company and schoolwork. Yugi and the others visited him and Jou often enough to give him the work he missed on a day-to-day basis. Jou felt like it was his birthday everyday. People where coming in and visiting with him giving him gifts and flowers with hallmark cards saying to get better soon. The only present he didn't like was the Japanese homework his cousin Nisachi gave him. Though after being in the hospital for the week he had to go back to school almost immediately. It was a little hard though because he couldn't remember anything from the day of the attack and in almost every class they had been going over something new. It seemed that his body had a chemical reaction with the medicine and it blocked out the whole day instead of the few hours, which it was meant to. So after classes he had to show the teachers the doctors note and then come back after school to relearn what he missed. Seto stayed home for a few more days just to make sure he wouldn't reopen his stitches. Though everyone noticed how on edge Seto was when ever Jou talked about regaining a new memory from the day of the attack.
"Hey Kiba, how's it going?" Yugi asked coming up to him.
"Nothing much." Seto replied in his regular cold tone.
"When are you going to get the stitches out?" Yugi asked looking at Seto with his large violet eyes.
"Friday. The doctors said I have healed enough to get them out." Seto replied back.
"How's Jou been doing?" Yugi asked knowing that he hit a nerve. Seto felt the blood rush to his cheeks giving them a slight pink color.
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Seto almost hissed.
"I meant emotionally Kiba. I know he won't tell if anything is troubling him in his head. I thought you may know because he is living with you at the moment." Yugi said giving Seto a cold glare of his own. Seto looked taken aback at the question and the look Yugi was giving him.
"He hasn't said anything yet and hasn't shown any faults of emotion from what I can see and the maids." Kiba said returning the glare.
"Thanks Kiba." Yugi said before bounding off in the other direction.
"Strange." Kiba thought before going off to his class.
::later midnight::
Seto woke up to hear the patter of footsteps running by his door.
"Who the hell is up at this hour?" Seto grumbled rubbing his eyes as he looked at the digital green clock.
"Seto can I come in?" Mokuba asked through the closed door.
"Yes Mokuba." Seto mumbled still trying to get up. Mokuba walked in also looking like he was just woken up from a nice sleep.
"What is it?" Seto asked fighting down a yawn.
"Do you know who just ran by?" Mokuba asked as he walked over to the bed.
"It may have been one of the maids Mokuba. Go back to sleep." Seto smiled patting the younger Kiba on the head.
"I think it was Jou. For the past few nights I have heard some one run by and his door is always open on those nights." Mokuba explained.
"I'll go and check on it ok. Go back to bed and get some sleep." Seto said getting up and ushering his brother out of the room.
"Thanks, you're the best." Mokuba said hurrying off to his room. Seto waited a bit making sure that Mokuba was really in his room before going down the hall to fin Jou.
"Well it would explain why he has been looking so tired and why Yugi asked me about him today." Seto thought as he came to the base of the steps and then went down the left corridor. Just as he thought, the study's door was open and the light from one of the lamps was on and coming out the door. He quietly opened the door even more and walked in as quiet as a cat. As figured, he could hear sobs coming from the big chair in the far corner of the room. Seto quietly snuck behind the chair was peeked over the rim of the top.
"How should I do this? Just simply snapping him out of it or doing a surprise attack thing would scare him half to death and he would think that it is his father. I could cover his mouth and then show my face but that would also have the same effect on him. I think I have it! Lets just hope the fact of me doing it will not scare him." Seto thought as he walked around the chair to face Jou. Seto slipped his arms around Jou's waist and brought him for a hug as his hands rubbed Jou's back.
"Shh everything is going to be ok." Seto whispered in his ear in the softest tone he could think of using.
"No it's not! Nothing can save me from these horrid dreams." Jou sniffed clinging to Seto. Seto tightened his grip before he tried to lift Jou up and move him over a little. Jou got the hint and helped Seto not wanting the other to rip out his stitches. Jou curled up in Seto's lap and buried his face in the crook of him neck crying. Seto rocked back and forth as best he could with his hands loosely resting on the curve of Jou's hips. A feeling of dejá-vu washed over him as Seto whispered soothing words into his ear as he cried into Seto's neck. Seto ran his fingers thought Jou's soft and silky hair hoping it would calm down the blond even more. Jou finally settled down to sobs as he still clung to Seto's nightshirt.
"Feeling better?" Seto whispered again still in a soft tone.
"Umm hmm." Jou mumbled looking up into Seto's face. Suddenly Jou froze as his eyes transfixed on the brunette as he saw every emotion swimming in his eyes that seemed completely opposite of him. Soon both Seto and Jou where subconsciously leaning towards one another, slowly closing the distance between their lips.
