Run no More
Chap 23~ What to do?
Jou hopped into the limo smiling like an idiot but crying his heart out.
"I didn't think that I was that bad." Seto joked. Jou sniffed handing over the papers. He took them, gave Jou a reassuring kiss and glanced over the typing. His expression went from shocked to confuse to caring.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Seto asked gathering Jou into his arms.
"You heard what she did to me all those years ago. The only reason she would want me back is to collect child support money."
"Or she wants to make amends with you. After finding out what he did to you, she wants to help."
"Her help could have been given a bit sooner. If she wanted to help then she should have taken me the first time!" Jou cuddled into Seto giving soft sobs.
"I really don't know what to tell you Jou. All I can say it to either make amends with your mother and have her gain legal rights of you or just throw the papers away." The rest of the ride home was quiet, save a sob or the sound of a comforting kiss.
"Big Brother! Jou!" Mokuba yelled tackling them at the door.
"Hello to you too Mokuba." Jou smiled patting the kind on the head.
"What are you doing home so early?" Seto gave his brother a hug, walking into the house.
"Our last period teacher fainted and they couldn't get someone to cover the class so they sent us home." Mokuba smiled skipping in between Seto and Jou.
"Is she alright?" Jou asked in concern.
"They didn't say much but they did say that she would be in tomorrow." Mokuba explained.
"That's good." Jou sighed in relief.
"What are you two doing home so early? Normally you go out somewhere before coming home." Mokuba asked looking at both of them.
"We decided to spend some time at home today." Seto answered for Jou.
"Can I go over a friends house at 4? We have a new art project that is due on Thursday." Mokuba looked up with his deadly puppy dog eyes.
"Are you going to be home for dinner?"
"I'll call if I'm not." Mokuba chirped running to his room.
"Thanks." Jou whispered grabbing Seto's arm.
"Have you decided on something yet?" Seto whispered back.
"I'm not sure really what to think on. I mean sure she is my mother and I am suppose to love her and all, but she said so many mean things to me when I was little. Not to mention she made sure that I stayed with my lovely excuse for a father. If I do go I can see Shinzuka all I want and I don't have to worry about all this legal crap. But all I can think of is the number of things that could go wrong." Jou started to growl tightening his grip on Seto's arm.
"Talk to her and find out yourself her reasoning." Seto gave a smiled running his fingers through Jou's hair.
"So this way I can find out that she just look good in front of a crowd. I don't need to shunned by someone twice in my life Seto."
"Call her then, that is all the advice that I can give you."
"I don't even know her number. Not to mention there is a restriction on me calling her, I have to wait for her to call me."
"Call the number on the paperwork, they may have something." Seto suggested.
"I am going to need to think more on this. So if its ok can I take over your room for a bit?"
"Why my room?"
"I feel better in there." Jou smiled.
"Take as much time as you want, but you are coming to dinner." Seto gave Jou a quick kiss before walking off to get some work done. Jou slowly walked around the upstairs of the house thinking about the situation.
"If I do accept this I can see Shinzuka more often, but that means living with my mother. She hated me so much when I was younger so why the sudden change of heart? Did Shinzuka tell her about what was happening with dad and out of pity she wants to take me back. Look like a good caring mother in front of my sister. And if I go with her does that mean she will treat me like her son all the time. Or will it be a selective thing, only when Shinzuka is around. Will I have to move away with her leave Seto? I couldn't handle that everyone I know is here. Then again I don't think Seto would stand back and let that happen." Jou gave out a sigh as he passed a painting on the wall. It was a small soft watercolor picture of a white teacup and a sprig of lavender falling across it. It was one of Jou's favorites, something else then Duel Monsters to look at.
"What would she think of our relationship? Well there is not much she could do about it we are engaged. Would she still want me if she knew I wasn't normal? Has Shinzuka told her and now she wants me back so she could get close to the hottest CEO ever known, also the most powerful right now in the toy business. I can't imagine what Seto would do if he found out that was the case. I don't think she could hire some one to go up against Seto in court." Jou leaned against the white marble wall of the hallway and looked up and the Victorian style ceiling also made out of the same marble. He tried to think back to when he was happy with his mother. There where a few but that was years before the court case and his fathers drinking.
"What am I going to do? I should listen to Seto and just call. What could be the worst that could happen?" Jou picked himself up and walked the very long and round about way to Seto's room looking at the watercolor paintings decorating the walls. He smiled as he reached the doors and walked in.
