Notes: In light of my successful fic "An Innocent Joke?" I'm writing this one for everyone who enjoyed it and wanted to see a sequel made. Unfortunately this is not a sequel, but another story altogether. There won't be a sequel to that story since I can't think of anything to write for it. But this another fic where Seto does play a mean trick on poor Jou! ooooo These many circles can indicate a change of some kind. Time, scenery or character. Seto is eighteen and Jou is seventeen.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Chapter Two: Getting Ready
Jou had never been more excited in his entire life, fighting to keep from tripping over his own two feet as he scrambled around his small room. Practically ripping drawers right out of his only dresser as he desperately searched for something decent to wear for his date.
There wasn't much to choose from, so eventually he managed to convince himself through his nervous tension that his battle city T-shirt and a pair of casual jeans would have to be good enough.
He did have a job at the local corner store, but that was only part time, and a lot of his paycheck went into paying for the heat and rent until his father could get back on his feet and get a job. So that left very little money for clothes, and a lot of what he did have either came from yard sales or stores that were having really big clearance sales.
Jou wasn't complaining about it or anything, he never did care where his clothes came from as long as he didn't look like a street bum or something really bad like that. But, at the moment, he desperately wished that he could afford better.
Checking his old watch for the time, he was in a near panic to find that it was almost time for him to leave, and Kaiba should have left to pick him up for their date already, and would soon be there.
Quickly looking himself over in a mirror one last time after throwing on his clothes and even brushing the many knots out of his hair, he heaved a heavy sigh at himself before deciding that it was better than nothing, and left his room. Closing the door behind him before trotting on downstairs into the livingroom.
His father was seated on the old couch, a newspaper and cracked pen in his hands as he searched through the personals and circled any jobs that he had a shot at getting.
Jou only sent a small smile in his direction before heading for the door, pulling the string that lifted the grey blinds clear of the window to see if Seto had arrived in his driveway yet.
He wasn't there.
Jou sighed heavily, a little disappointed that he wasn't there to pick him up yet. So he walked over to the couch, and plopped himself down next to his old man as he waited. Glancing at the paper in his hands once in a while to see what he'd circled down.
Job offers for mechanics, store clerks, and even janitors. Once again, Jou gave a small smile for him. His father was trying, he really was. And he loved and appreciated him all the more for it.
It was hard to believe that less than seven months ago he'd been a full blown alcoholic, but now, he was finally sober, and trying to pick up the pieces to his life after his wife had left him those many years ago. Taking his daughter with her and leaving him with a son that he had no clue on earth how to raise by himself.
It wasn't until he'd woken up from a drunken slumber one day, on his own livingroom floor with a monstrous hangover that had been splitting his skull, and a sprained hand, did he finally send himself to alcoholics anonymous.
Though, those weren't the reasons why he suddenly decided to quit his drinking after all those years. He had woken up with hangovers and small cuts before, suggesting that he'd been in drunken brawls the night before, and they had been no big deal to him. Just another fact of his miserable life. But when he went up to his son's room to check on him, and found him cowering away from him in the corner of the small space, a nasty bruise over his eye and covering nearly half his face, he decided to do something about himself.
He'd never beaten his son before, as far as he could remember, and he wasn't about to make a habit of it. So he sent his boy over to live with that midget friend of his for a few weeks until he could get himself together and find a job.
He sobered up, found a job, and even dropped some of his old friends who were still big bar hoppers to make himself a better parent. It wasn't easy, but he was proud to admit that he'd done it, and was still frequenting AA meetings.
Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic, they say.
Unfortunately, he'd been let go from his position at the Domino car factory about a month ago, and he still had yet to find another job. But with the many reachable offers being made in the paper today, he was confident that he'd finally be employed again by the end of the week.
And that was enough to put a smile of his own on his face.
Seeing his son, constantly checking his watch and fidgeting in his seat, he couldn't help but ask. "Do you have a hot date, or just need to use the washroom?"
Jou turned to him, a little stunned for being awoken from his nervous thoughts. "Oh, well, neither dad." He lied. "I've got a friend coming over to pick me up soon, and he's just not here yet." He explained, hoping that he would buy it.
Jou's father was currently unaware of his sexuality, and the fear of being rejected and thrown out was what caused the blonde teen to keep his mouth shut over the issue. Simply because he didn't know what his father's thoughts and opinions on the subject were. And he didn't want to risk getting hurt over it.
The older man shrugged, turning back to his paper to read what else the world was currently offering him. "Alright then, just be in by eleven, you have school tomorrow." He reminded, and Jou inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Glad that he didn't have to tell his pop about his date.
The honk of a horn from outside in the driveway was what sent Jou the signal that Seto had finally showed up. And his heart jumped.
He excitedly hopped to his feet, running for the door. "I gotta go dad, see you at eleven!" He called, disappearing behind the door before the older man had a chance to say goodbye back.
He just shook his head fondly. To be that young again, going out for some innocent fun, if only.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Jou was more than just a little stunned to see the blue spider convertible in his driveway, and even more shocked to see Seto in the drivers seat. He didn't know that the CEO even knew how to drive, he'd always assumed that he let the limo drivers take him wherever he needed to go.
Seto sent a sneer in his direction at his gawking, but then when he remembered that he was supposed to be at least a little friendly to him because of his unfortunate circumstances, he lowered it down to a simple frown.
"Are you just going to stand there, or are you going to get in some time today?" He snapped irritably. The last place in the world he wanted to be at the moment was in the mutt's driveway in front of his shitty little shack being gawked at just because he'd never seen a decent car in his entire life. The only reason he was even there was because Otogi just had to insist that he pick him up instead of making him walk. To add to the effect of being a "caring boyfriend".
Jou shook himself out of his stupor before grinning madly and jumping in, quickly leaning over in his seat to give Seto a quick kiss on the cheek.
When he pulled away, still smiling like an idiot, Seto knew that the puppy was expecting some kind of approval. And since he didn't want to blow his cover so early in the game, he sent him a nervous smile of his own before surprising him by quickly leaning over and capturing his lips in a far more heated kiss. Taking control easily as he thrust his tongue into his mouth to explore and put a hand on his cheek to hold him still.
Well, he was dating him. So he might as well get to enjoy it.
It didn't take long for Jou to respond, but when he did, Seto quickly pulled away. Just to tease him, but Jou didn't say anything aside from give a small pout, making Kaiba smirk at him. He liked that look on him.
"Ready to go, puppy dog?" He asked, starting up the engine.
"Yup!" Was all the blonde was able to say before the CEO pulled out of the driveway with such a force that Jou nearly smacked his head on the dashboard. And he was quick to throw on his seatbelt as Seto sped on down the road at twice the speed limit.
He just wanted to scare him a little, and judging by the fact that he was now covering his honey eyes while mumbling prayers to God, Seto knew that he'd accomplished that mission.
To Be Continued....................
Thank you's:
Bi Panda: Ya, I can be mean to Jou can't I? XD But anyway, don't feel bad for asking to beta for me, I don't mind, I've had offers before, but I just have this feeling that if I let someone do that for me then I'll never learn to do it for myself. And besides, I already promised someone else that they could do the betaing if I ever decide to get one. But thanks for the offer!

Lavender Insanity: I'm so glad you liked "Innocent joke?" And i really hope this story fits your standards too :)
YamiLava : I know that Jou should be pulling pranks as well, but I guess I never really thought about doing that with him in a story of mine. Perhaps i'll get him to do something to Otogi? XD
Chibified Raven: Glad you like the story idea so far, except when i ask for reviews, but I only do that because they inspire me and every other author to write more faster. I only asked for 5 and got nearly thirty if that helps, because I know that sometimes people just want to enjoy the story and not have to worry about putting in comments, that's why I only ask for 5. So if you don't want to review then you don't have to.
tamachan444 : Ya, i thought another fic with Seto playing tricks on Jou would be a good idea : )
draken-sama : Thank you! I'm glad I got you into this pairing! And I'm also happy you liked my other story, and don't worry about the review thing, heh I had plenty! lol and you don't have to worry about it now if you don't want to either, it's not a big deal

Okay, now that the thank you's are out of the way (and lots of people to thank ;D ) I'd like to do the thing where i request 5 reviews please! Sorry if this annoyes people but they do inspire me to write more faster. But I am only asking for 5, so if anyone doesn't want to post a comment then remember that you don't have to. I don't mean to put people under any pressure or anything
Thank you!
