Chapter 9
"Seto!" Mokuba whined as he stared up at his brother, who was busily typing away at his laptop. "Go check on him!"
"NO!" Seto growled out, not lifting his eyes from the glowing screen.
"You're just sore because he left you that lovely shiner!" Mokuba cried out. "Look, I bet you aren't even typing anything, just a big jumble of letters I bet."
Seto looked up at his younger brother before looking back at the screen, shocked to see his brother was right, but refused to show that shock. The screen was covered in J's and K's galore. "Damn." He hissed, before closing the computer. "What do you want Mokuba?"
"Go check on Jou-Chan!" Mokuba wailed, exasperated. "I heard him crying earlier. But I didn't want to scare him by just barging into his room. He wouldn't be as bothered with you, since you were in there all the time until now."
"I don't wish to see him!"
"But you do! I know you do! You two have grown so close over the past few days! You're worried about him! I know it, I can see it! Now go!"
"NO!"
"Kaiba Seto! Get your ass up off of that stupid comfy chair and walk your skinny ass to his room!"
Seto looked up at his little brother, surprise clearly showing on his face. "What did you just say?"
"Uhh." Mokuba slightly crossed his eyes in thought. "Get up?"
"No."
"Stupid comfy chair?"
"Before and after that."
"Uhh, oh, Ass?"
"Where did you learn that foul word?"
"Uhh, let me think really hard on that one, oh, I know!" He looked up, grinning madly. "You! Now go!"
"Fine!" He stood up quickly. "But we are going to have a strict talk about your language later tonight little brother." He strode out of his office and down the hall.
"Shit." Mokuba whispered, looking for a good hiding place, knowing it would do him no good. "No where can I hide where he can't see my body heat?"
"I cannot believe I am going to do this!" Seto hissed to himself, grumbling all the way down the hall and up the stairs. "He has only been in there..." He looked down at his watch, eyes widening slightly. "Nine whole hours?"
He picked up his speed a little, making it to Jou's room fast enough to say he ran there. He knocked lightly, listening for a reply, receiving none, he opened the door. "Jounouchi?"
He looked around the silent room, surprised to not see the angel anywhere. "Jounouchi?" He asked again, a little louder. Still nothing. He walked into the room, keeping his eyes open for any sudden movements. "Jounouchi, come on, answer me."
"Go away." He heard the boy sniffle from a far off corner.
"Jou?" He walked towards the sound. "Come on, talk to me."
"Why should I? I am after all just a mutt."
Seto was shocked, Jou had never said anything like that, ever! And especially never agreed with the Kaiba Seto. "Jou, come on, come out from over there." Kaiba looked about ready to puke at his next word. "Please?"
Jou looked up, startled, his vision still slightly blurry. "What did you just say? I didn't quite hear you."
"I said please!" Kaiba ground out. "Please, come out of there."
Jou slowly stood up, from where he was sitting and walked slowly over to the blurry form of Kaiba. "Wow, alert the media, Kaiba said please."
"Shove it pup." Kaiba growled, before seating himself on Jou's bed. "Mokuba told me you were crying earlier, what over?"
"I was not crying."
"Why do I not believe you?"
"I wasn't!" Jou said, sitting next to Seto.
"Your eyes are all puffy and red, I see different from what you say."
"It's my head, that's all, I just have a huge ass headache." Jou groaned.
"Probably from getting your sight back." Seto stood up and stretched. "I will be right back."
Jou watched Seto step out of the room quietly. He pulled his legs up and tucked his knees under his chin, while starring at the door, trying to will his sight back to normal. So he had lied, who cares. So he was crying, not like Mr. Stone-Cold-No-Heart Seto Kaiba would really care anyway.
He was startled from his thoughts when the said brunette walked back into the room. Kaiba looked down at the blonde and held out his hand, pills sitting in his palm. "Take these, they should help." He said, while passing him also a glass of water.
"Domo Arigatou." Jou said, taking the pills and water, downing both.
"Now tell me what's wrong." Kaiba said, pulling up a chair and sitting in front of the blonde.
