Each morning felt like deja vu to the eternally bewildered Jounochi. Seto
had kissed him last night, but it's not like it was the first time either.
What the hell was he supposed to do now? He did say he wouldn't treat him
like meat but...what's to stop him from changing his mind?
Stupid promise! I could run away! He thought. But were would I go? How far could I get before Seto found me...would he even come after me?
His fingers slowly wondered up his chest to touch the leather collar still bound to his neck. Would I really run away? He felt that all to familiar blush stain his face.
"Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid." As the boy furiously tried scrubbing the blush away.
"Jou-chan!" Mokuba came bounding into his room with that inexhaustible energy.
"Good morning!" He tackled the blonde in a body clamping glomp.
"AHH!" Jou yelped as he and Mokuba were sent crashing to the floor in a tangled heap.
"Would a friendly handshake be too difficult for you?" He asked the little ball of black hair that was currently stuck to his chest.
"I'm sorry, its just fun having a pu.... I mean company."
"Yeah right."
"Come on lets wash up!" The little Kaiba stood on his feet, pulling Jou along. Jou felt the all too familiar fibers of the plush carpet of Mokuba's older brother's room under his feet, was Seto at work again?
"Oh I forgot my toothpaste, I'll be back ok?" Mokuba said dashing from the room. Jou rubbed at his still sleepy eye, grabbing for the doorknob, turning it sluggishly. Now what happened next he wasn't expecting. A waft of warm steam hit his face, it blurred at his eyes and suddenly he began to panic at the realization of what was to come.
"Jou?"
Teasing crystalline droplets clung desperately as they inched down the wonderful toned valley of peachish skin. Damp heavy strands of mahogany colored hair hung in front of unwavering azure eyes like a veil. The thick hazing figure of a tall man could be seen in the hot fog. Seto sauntered in his steps as he walked to the slack jawed boy.
"You're going to catch flies that way." He chuckled softly, smoothing his thumb against Jou's lazed chin, lifting it up slightly to close his mouth.
"Good morning to you to puppy."
Mokuba returned a short while later, toothpaste in hand.
"Jou, did you finish already? AHH!! Oh my god are you ok?!"
"Wha? Yeah I'm fine."
"But you're bleeding!!!"
"What?" Mokuba grabbed a nearby towel and started to dab at his still dripping nosebleed.
"Heaven help me.." The poor-bleeding boy muttered.
Later that day, Jou made his more than three times a day kitchen visit. His bare feet smacked against the tiles of the cool kitchen floor, he could feel the sun's heat coming through the window. The days were getting colder now, but at least the sun was still nice and hot.. and so was Seto.WHAT THE FUCK!
There poised over the sink, chugging down a tall glass of water was Seto Kaiba again. Expect..he was in tore jeans, a muscle-t, covered in dirt, and sweat. Jou's nose threatened to bleed again.massively.
"Mmph?" Seto turned to see the gawking blonde in mid gulp. He rubbed the excess water off of the back of his rawhide-gloved hand. "What's the matter? You bored puppy?" Jou's mouth moved making soft unintelligible sounds.
"You know something." The brunette turned to look at him. " I think I've gone a little soft on our bet, and I want to reinstate what we agreed on." He walked closer, with his heavy booted shoes clicking on the floor.
"Ready for a walk.puppy?" He stared deeply into Jou's chocolate eyes, slowly dragging out every syllable of each word.
Jou only nodded dumbly before with out really know what the hell he was doing until he felt his feet stumble along the cement sidewalk. His shoes scuffed against the long pant legs of his khaki cargo pants, as he tried to literally sink into his small blue jacket.
"Keep up puppy, the faster we go the sooner its over." Seto darkly chuckled as every single one of his fellow rich and snobby neighbors were out that morning, staring for their life's worth. The leather leash was pulled tautly every time Jounochi lagged behind. The make believe puppy was blushing intensely from the unwavering gazes around them. Seto merely played out a false smile; waving and greeting them all like Miss America.
"Cut that out already." Jou snarled.
"Why? I thought you wanted me to be more friendly Jou."
"You couldn't be if you tried." He huffed. Stopping completely.
"Don't be a pest." He turned, a little surprised by Jou's actions but like he said once before, he had never done a thing to earn Jou's trust.
"I'm not taking another step." He folded his arms over his chest, glaring back at the Seto he always knew.
Seto's fists tightened and his teeth grind together. A million different responses few through his mind. Yet, he took a deep breath and slowly but surely his plotting smirk surfaced on his face.
"Oh I understand now." His eyes scanned around the area slightly, finding the perfect yellow structure. "You need to go."
"It's about time." Jou reached up to unbound his collar.
"Here let me help you." With on long brawny tug on the leash. Jou bawled forward into Seto, who promptly grabbed his shoulders.
"Let me help," He said again with a smirk, spinning Jou around so he faced the street and his back was to Seto. And there in the curb was a bright yellow fire hydrant.
"No fucking way!!" And upon the completion of those words he was thrusted forward until his knees banged against the cold metal.
"Ready now?" One arm slid down Jou's slid, tightly clamping across his chest and arms as he felt the other slid down his back and rub at his inn thigh."
"Don't you TOUCH ME!" Jou scream.
"Now, now puppy, you're making a spectacle." Seto answered chuckling.
Jou's blush was a blaze now, he slightly whimpered as Seto's palm slid further down, hooking under his kneecap and lifting his leg.
"And this is what you do to set yourself up puppy. See it's easy. Now all that's left is." His arm reached further, his fingers tapping on Jou's zipper.
"No don't!" He squeaked, squirming in Seto's firm grasp. "Stop it! I'll be good, I'll be good!!!" He held his eyes shut, praying Seto wouldn't continue with his plan.
"That's better..." His hands immediately fell away, walking back along the sidewalk.
"Fucking, shit." Jou cursed under his breath, as his gaze was glued to the ground as he walked along. Well it was however until a firm grasp forced his gaze upward. Once again he found himself starring into the forever- changing look of Seto Kaiba's dark eyes.
"Hold your head up. I wont have anything pitiful near me understand? Because we could always walk around again." The tiny yelp was an enough of an agreement for Seto as they rounded the last corner. Seto never explained to Jounochi exactly why he was up so late last night. For you see he too had a similar dream.
Jou ran throughout the mansion, panting hard as he turned sharp corners and trudged down flights of stairs. But it was all in vain, for his pursuer was right on his trial, pouncing as he leapt off the last step, pinning Jou to the ground.
"You promised!" He cried, thrashing under his assailant's body. Jou was forcefully turned around; his back slammed against the unforgiving floor.
"You promised" he sobbed hard. "If I were a good boy you wouldn't do this." Tears fell from Jou's eyes as the light finally hit the figure face, and Seto sneered down at his prey.
"I lied."
"Please don't."
"Hush now." His long slender but powerful hands roamed around Jou's panicked body.
"Daddy stop!" .Daddy? Jou's frightened feature's melted down to a much smaller boy. With quivering blue eyes and frizzled brown hair. "Please daddy." The small boy cried out under Seto, tears running rampant. Seto looked over his own body to see it was changing as well. To a much more bulky man with a thick mustache and gray balding hair. The sweat formed at the pours in his skin as he heard that terrible, unforgettable voice.
"You are mine, you are nothing, you are me."
That was the end.. He thought he would go insane, until he say his mother's picture again.
Jou was fuming inside his head. So Seto was after all, everything he thought he was. Just a cruel basted here to humiliate him. Well he should have known better than to trust Seto Kaiba of all people.. Even if he did like that kiss last night. NO, no! This was not the time to think of how gentle he was how his voice was so reassuring.
"Grrraaa!!" Jou scrubbed at his cheeks again...this was so stupid. This shouldn't hurt.it shouldn't hurt at all.
They marched up the long driveway, past the front door and the gates to the yards behind the house. Jou took a moment to look up, only to see Seto again.
"I hate you."
"That's fair."
"What do you mean that's fair? It doesn't bother you? That I'm standing right here in front of you and saying that I hate you!"
"Should it?"
Jou felt little needle like pricks all inside himself. So he really doesn't care. This was all just a game, just a stupid game. And like always I fell for it. He thought to himself.
"You're evil.you're so goddamn evil! You gave me all those fucked up speeches about wanting to understand me and about you're dead mother just so I'd let my guard down! I started to trust you, I wanted to believe the best in you and it doesn't bother you!!" He started shouting now, he was wrong, it did hurt. It hurt everywhere. He was so angry and he didn't know why, he was so hurt when nothing really happened. His mind was to busy spinning that he never the hands slid so slowly around his waist or the hard body he rested against.
"Why don't you care, why don't you care."
"I.do, It's just.. I'm sorry Jounochi"
"No you're not." Oh great now he felt like crying. "You don't care at all." Aww what the hell! Now he was snuggling against Seto chest? Jou was clinging to the thin and still dirty shirt he had on before.
"I am . and I do." Seto's arms encased around the boy more tightly. Why did he do that? His ultimate goal wasn't to push Jou around but to use this bet as an advantage to get Jou to see past the image of himself that his friends knew, to see the true Seto Kaiba. But maybe today, that was his true image, evil, cruel, and cold. "I'm sorry." Those words were so foreign to him, but he had meant them. He had to make this right.
"I know.. I know." Jou spoke softly against his shoulder, closing his eyes to fight back those lingering tears. As if that was the least of his worries, Jou finally felt something else against his body. Seto had taken this perfect moment to tilt Jou's head ever so slightly, to kiss at his still closed eyes.
"Seto."
He smiled at his soothed puppy, giving a final kiss on both cheeks. "Come with me, I'd like you to help me with something." The moment Seto tried to pull away, Jou still held his shirt forcefully, refusing him to budge. He opened his eyes with some sort of determination lingering in his gaze.
"Jou?"
Shakily letting out the breath he was holding, his fingers uncurled from the material between them, smoothing out the wrinkles.
"What is it?"
"You'll see."
Seto lead him a small ways through the yard to a long area of upturned dirt.
"This is what you where doing this morning huh?"
"Yes, I've been meaning to put in these juniper plants and some new lilac tree's that arrived last week."
"Why should I even be surprised anymore." Seto chuckled slightly, kneeling back into the dirt, picking up the spade he had left there before.
"Would you like to help?"
"Meh its not like I got anything better to do." He smiled kneeling beside Seto.
The sun had already set long ago but both boys were still working furiously. Both caked in dirt and seat, and lacking shirt may I add (^.^). The chill of the evening air gave Seto the message that it was time to head inside.
"Wow, we've gotten so much done." He said in a satisfied tone. "We can call it a day Jou."
"Alright." He said in a little more than winded voice. Both boys made a slow and steady trek to the house.
Seto opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water for himself and another for Jou. "Here." he called throwing it over his shoulder. He was surprised to hear it smack upon the floor. "Should I have said fetch?" He chuckled turning around.only to drop his own water bottle.
"Jou!!" He dropped to the floor beside the blonde boy sprawled against it. "Jou! Jou!!" He held Jounochi in his grasped shaking him slightly. "He's like fire." Seto affirmed, touching his forehead.
Waii!! Jounochi no pinch desu!! What will happen to the fever stricken Jou! Heheh ^_^ Hi I'm sorry it took so damn long for me to get this chapter out.. I know some of you have been poking me in my ass to write faster * wont mention any names. * Ok guys it's the moment I've been delaying. Time to start the fanfic challenge!! Now to be fair I'll give you want the challenge is now and post the rules and dates and stuff in my next update so stay tuned. I feel Otogi doesn't get enough attention for being such a cute guy. So I want an Otogi fic.with the possibility of being thrown into something with Seto and Jou* looks away whistling * But I haven't decided yet so keep otogi in mind. Ja ne!
Stupid promise! I could run away! He thought. But were would I go? How far could I get before Seto found me...would he even come after me?
His fingers slowly wondered up his chest to touch the leather collar still bound to his neck. Would I really run away? He felt that all to familiar blush stain his face.
"Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid." As the boy furiously tried scrubbing the blush away.
