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 Ten: The Bet

The doctor sighed. "Well, we finally managed to stop the internal bleeding which was located in the area of the stomach, so for the most part, your brother will be just fine." He explained in monotone.

Seto let out a sigh of sheer relief, running a shaking hand through his now matted hair. "When do you expect him to wake up?" He asked desperately, wringing his hands together with worry.

"I can't give you an actual time, but once we've finished patching him up and the anesthetics wear off... I would have to make an estimated guess of about a day or two." He explained, trying to seem as calm as possible since it was the Seto Kaiba's brother he was dealing with.

That and if things went just right, he could finally be getting that promotion he's been looking forward to and raise the reputation of the hospital all at the same time.

He just had to play his cards right.

Seto nodded to his answer, willing to accept any good new being offered at that point. "What of his other injuries?" He asked, forgetting all about Jou who was still right behind him in his seat, listening intently in worry for the young boy.

He'd have to remember to call Yugi and the others to tell them about all this.

"Well your brother is very lucky, his accident could have been a lot worse, and aside from the bleeding the most he will have will be a bump on the head and a broken leg. However, he broke it in two places, so he will need a wheelchair for the first week or so after we finish."

Seto nodded his head again in thanks, deciding that he'd heard enough and that the best option was to let the doctor get back to work.

Once he was gone, Seto walked like the dead back to his seat next to the blonde before plopping himself down without a sound. Slouching in his chair before feeling a soothing hand on his shoulder, followed by a comforting hug and a soft whisper.

"He'll be okay." Jou said soothingly into his ear, glad that he had been right in his earlier predictions and that Mokuba really would pull through.

And since the CEO was now in a better state of mind than he was less than five minutes ago, all he allowed himself to do was lean into the embrace. "Thank you."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Mokuba remained sleeping a little longer than what the doctors had expected of him, and by the time he finally woke up at two O'clock in the morning three days after the incident, everyone who had come to visit, aside from his older brother and Katsuya, had already left for home.

But there was just one little problem.

They were sleeping.

Mokuba blinked at them tiredly, delicately trying to lift himself into a sitting position since there was a throbbing ache in his stomach and a very large pain in his leg.

He didn't know what was going on. The last thing he could remember was crossing the street with Hoshi, but she had dropped something in the road and went back to get it. And that's when...

His eyes went wide.

The car...

His eyes nearly bulged right out of their sockets. Trying to search through his fogged up memory for the answers to what had happened afterwards. Praying that his friend was alright.

After a minute or two of thinking, the full memory came back to him. Telling him that Hoshi was safe and explaining why he felt like he was trampled by a horse.

Satisfied that everything was alright, he decided to simply go back to sleep. Drifting off easily knowing that Hoshi was alright and that his older brother was watching over him.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When Seto woke up the next morning, the blonde Puppy's head resting on his shoulder, he couldn't help but notice how it seemed as if Mokuba had moved in his sleep.

Delicately lifting Jou's head from his shoulder, the puppy shifted himself in his sleep now that he no longer had it to use as a pillow, and satisfied that he didn't wake up, the brunet padded over to where Mokuba still lay.

"Mokuba?" He asked softly, leaning over him and putting a gentle hand on his forehead. He knew that it probably wouldn't be too great if he woke him up from his rest, but he just needed the confirmation that he was alright and could in fact wake up.

The black haired by shifted a bit in his sleep, opening tired eyes to look up at his brother. Smiling weakly at the sight of him. "Hey Seto." He croaked, a little surprised at how weak he sounded.

"Shhh.... try not to talk much, Jou is here too, so I'm just going to leave for a minute to get the nurse." He whispered worriedly.

"No... don't leave."

Seto's heart clenched at the plea, but he needed to get the nurse to let them know that he was now awake. "I'll be back in a minute, I'm not going anywhere after that though, I promise." He said softly, glad when his brother nodded his head in response before kissing his forehead and quickly leaving the room.

The sooner he got a doctor or nurse, the sooner he could get back to him.

By the time he did get someone to check up on his little brother, Jou had to be woken up and shooed out of the room so that they could work.

"When do ya think they'll let us in ta see him?" The blonde asked from where they both sat outside the room.

Seto shrugged. "Whenever the doctors decide that he's strong enough to handle visitors." Was the only thing he could think of, and Jou accepted the answer easily enough.

Digging through the pockets of his faded jeans, Jou pulled out a handful of coins. "I'm going ta get something ta drink out of the pop machine," He said, getting to his feet. "Want anything?"

Seto shook his head, not really looking at him as his attention was still fixed on the door his little brother was behind. He promised him that he would see him soon, and it was going on nearly three hours. He just wanted them to hurry up with the examination so that he could be with him again.

Jou nodded his head in response, leaning down to plant a soft and comforting kiss on the worried CEO's lips. And Seto accepted it as easily as though it were second nature, watching his puppy pull away before walking down the hall and turning the corner before disappearing to get his drink.

He'd pretty much earned it, considering all the time he spent at the hospital with him, and even going so far as to get both his and Mokuba's homework from school so that they wouldn't fall behind. Getting his laptop and newspaper so that he could keep track of the things happening with his company and stocks in case there was another take over attempt while he was away from work.

Seto had to admit that the puppy was being rather attentive to him. Caring, loving and supportive when he needed it the most. Hell, he actually cried on him! And the blonde didn't push him away in disgust, or even try to get him to stop, he just... let him cry. Like he knew how much he needed to do it.

The brunet actually liked it too. Having someone around who wouldn't judge him when he did have a lapse of weakness. Who would just hold him and tell him that it would be alright.

It was nice.

"Well wasn't that sweet?" A sarcastic voice sneered.

Kaiba's eyes went wide, looking over in shocked surprise to see Otogi staring down angrily at him.

Quickly losing the shocked look on his face, Kaiba was quick to sneer back. "What are you doing here?" He demanded gruffly.

The black haired teen only shrugged, taking a seat next to him lazily before crossing his legs. "I heard about your brother and I wanted to see what the big deal was." He explained coolly.

Kaiba gripped the arms of his chair menacingly. "The "big deal" was that he was hit by a fucking car you stupid prick." He hissed, being careful to keep his voice down since he was in a hospital. Glaring murder at the other teen.

"Oh is that all?" Otogi said, shrugging off the threat in Kaiba's voice. "For a minute I thought he'd died or something with the way you've been avoiding me."

Kaiba tried to ignore what he'd just heard to the best of his abilities. Continually reminding himself that he was in a hospital and he couldn't fight him there. "I've been here for the past three days. I haven't even gone home." He explained, motioning with his hand to his old change of clothes. Jou did bring him something to wear, but that was two days ago, and he hadn't changed since then.

Otogi eyed the wrinkled black sweater with disgust. "Yeah, I can sea that." He sneered, quickly changing the topic of discussion. "So how are things going with the mutt?" He asked.

"Just fine." Kaiba grunted, folding his arms to try and show just how displeased he was with the other boy.

"You fuck him yet?" He asked bluntly.

"...No." The brunet admitted, a little embarrassed that he still had yet to get any from the puppy dog.

Otogi shook his head, suppressing a chuckle. "That's pathetic. You really must be losing your edge or something." He said, amused with the flushed face his lover made. "Man, I'm not even dating him and I bet I could get into his pants faster than you!"

Kaiba whipped his head at him. "WHAT?!" He snapped, forgetting to be quiet and blushing a deep red at the many stares he got.

Slouching down in his chair a bit before hiding his face with his hand, he turned to the dice master before snapping irritably. "Just what the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

Otogi smirked at him, very much liking his awkward little predicament. "What do you think it means?" He asked back, his face a picture of innocence.

Kaiba growled. "Well you're wrong." He snapped, folding his arms once again when he was satisfied that no one else was staring at him.

"Wanna bet?" He asked, and Kaiba whipped his head back up at him to see his smirking face. "The game is getting boring, and I'm not having any fun anymore, so seriously, how about we make a bet on it?"

Kaiba thought it over for only a second. "What are the conditions of this bet?" He asked, sitting up straight again.

Otogi shrugged. "The first one to fuck the blonde wins. No catches." Was all he said.

Kaiba quirked an eye at him, surprised that there wouldn't be a catch, but then again, he was a lot wealthier than the black haired boy was. So it would make sense that he wouldn't bet money on it.

Besides, he was the one dating the blonde at the moment anyway. So he was the one with the better chance of winning. And when he did win, he could throw it in his face for as long as he wanted.

Victory was always sweeter when the losing team asked for defeat.

"Deal." He smirked, looking forward to his victory against the dice master.

Otogi smirked, getting up from where he sat before leaning down to kiss him. Claiming his lips roughly while placing his hands on his shoulders.

Seto gave into the kiss easily enough, but before he could get the chance to dominate it, a patch of blonde hair out of the corner of his eye caught his attention.

Breaking off the kiss, both CEO's turned their stunned faces over to see Jou staring at them, frozen in complete shock, his mouth hanging open with a forgotten coke can in his left hand.

"S-Seto?" The blonde choked, trying to decide if what he was seeing was real or not.

Blue eyes went wide at the sight of him. 'Oh no.'
