Suspicious Much!

Chapter 2


Checking to make sure that no one was watching them, Kaiba slipped in behind the blonde and closed the door silently. He swore for a second that he caught a glimpse of two or three young students suddenly dart around the corner, but he was quickly distracted and dismissed it immediately. He felt a tug on his long jacket and as the door snapped shut he spun around, only to stare into the furious honey eyes of Jounouchi Katsuya.

Jou was inches away from him, glaring at Kaiba with unprecedented anger. He was right in Kaiba's face, his hot breath licking at his neck and a burning fury radiating in his expression. He was aggressively positioned, effectively pining Kaiba against the door. One long arm was against the wall, the other one balled in a fist at his side and his shoulder was turned inwards, closing Kaiba in and making the space between them shrink. Jou moved in another step, pressing against Kaiba and forcing the taller boy to back against the door. Kaiba was alarmed; this wasn't normal Jou behaviour. Such emotion wasn't something that Jou usually expressed so openly, and a swing as violent as this wasn't quite right.

Kaiba immediately felt uncomfortable. He knew he shouldn't; he towered over Jou and had always been the more prominent figure. But no matter how much stronger than the other teen Kaiba may have been, Kaiba felt all of his energy seep out, only to be replaced by a glimmering flicker of fear. Jou was dominant now. Not Kaiba. He was leeching all of Kaiba's confidence, absorbing it and turning it into a smouldering flame of aggression.

Jou was shaking slightly, and his teeth were bared in a sneering growl. Kaiba frowned worriedly and put his hands up, finally feeling movement return to his numb limbs. He meant to put his hands on Jou's shoulders to encourage him to move out of the way, but this was a bad move. Jou's eyes darted to Kaiba's hands and he reacted surprisingly fast. He grabbed Kaiba's wrists in his large spare hand and thrust them against the wall, locking Kaiba into an awkward position. He growled threateningly.

"Now now Kaiba." He spat contemptuously, leaning in and whispering against the shell of Kaiba's ear, his tone sending chills down Kaiba's spine. "Be a good boy 'nd stay."

He leant back again and Kaiba could see the malicious glint in his eyes. Kaiba swallowed, wondering frantically what exactly he had done to piss Jou off so badly.

"J-Jou…" Kaiba stuttered softly, surprised at his lack of nerve and how scared his voice must have sounded. "What's…uh, w-what's wrong? …Jou?"

"What's WRONG?" Jou purred venomously, his grip on Kaiba's wrists tightening dangerously. "Whaddya mean, bitch? You shuld know what's wrong!"

Kaiba's eyes widened innocently and shook his head slowly. The angry blonde narrowed his eyes and hissed a soft "fuck you!" before he leant in close again, pressing flush against Kaiba and growling into his ear deeply, aggressively making it a show of dominance. Somewhere through the fear and surprise, Kaiba felt a faint surge of confusing emotion course through him, and he felt his cheeks redden and his skin begin to warm. Jou was close…oh, so very close…

Kaiba blinked. Now was no time for that. He had to do something…Jou was way too close! Kaiba mustered the last of his weakened nerve and turned his face towards Jou's to stare defiantly into those golden pools. They were rubbing noses; they were so close…too close…

"Jou…" he stammered. A growl in response. "Please…move away. You are too close. I can't stand it…Ill do something stupid if you don't!"

He let that last bit out as a warning, a threat of what could happen, but it didn't seem like that to him. To him it was what he could already feel his body trying to persuade him to do…what he could see happening. All he could see, all he could hear, all he could feel was…Jou…close…his breath, minty and hot…the fire in his eyes…those lips…so close…no, he couldn't…he wouldn't…but Jou was so close…those delicious lips…he should taste them…

Kaiba felt his mouth open, and he regretted the word that came out of his mouth the moment he realised he'd said it.

"NO!"

Jou frowned and leant back to stare at the astonished boy he was pinning to the door. Kaiba had been silent for a long time, but then had started to look at Jou differently, almost admiringly, and he had noticed the red stain of the boy's cheeks. Kaiba had squirmed under Jou before frowning and shouting "NO!" for no discernable reason.

"No what?" Jou asked, frowning at the embarrassed brunette. Kaiba simply blushed and turned his head to the side, avoiding the questioning honey stare. "Well? Kaiba! Look at me! No what?"

Kaiba turned his face towards Jou again and the blue eyes were half closed and glimmering with emotion. He felt Jou relax a bit and push closer, rubbing his face into the dip in Kaiba's neck and waiting for a response, making Kaiba feel pressured to answer, and a familiar feeling washed over him. Warmth…of another body, touching…so very painfully close…Kaiba felt his pants tighten, but he didn't bother to fight it. He had to answer Jou, but…

Kaiba couldn't bring himself to speak. He thought frantically, running it through his head. What had he denied, and why? What had triggered it? He grimaced inwardly. He already knew what and he already knew why too. Jou had been so close, and Kaiba could no longer deny that he had wanted to kiss Jou, taste those sweet lips and claim that warm mouth. His mind had screamed no, and eventually so had he. But the warmth surging through his body, the blush of his cheeks and the tightness in his pants were telling him a different story.

Kaiba felt ashamed, but not surprised. He had been attracted to Jou for a long time and the two of them had agreed to be friends, but somehow Kaiba was still restless and uncomfortable about something in their relationship. Now he knew what. He wanted more than friendship. A lot more. But as for Jou…what had got him so pissed off? Was it something he had done? Kaiba immediately answered himself with a no, but victimising him as Jou had done was too personal for it to not have been something to do with Kaiba.

"Well? Answer me." Jou mumbled into Kaiba's neck, snapping the boy out of his thoughts. Kaiba shifted underneath him and muttered something Jou didn't catch. Jou grunted in question and Kaiba took a deep breath.

"I…I can't explain it…" Kaiba repeated quietly. "But I can show you…"

Before Jou could speak, Kaiba had shifted again, pushing himself against Jou and rubbing his body against him. Jou's eyes widened when he felt the hard erection of his target rub against his abdomen and the aroused heat of Kaiba's body enclose around him. He looked at Kaiba in astonishment. Kaiba blushed further and reached down, closing the gap and kissing Jou lightly. It was chaste, yet he had felt Jou's lips move against his own in response. He pulled back and Jou had closed his eyes. They flew open suddenly and the honey orbs were shining with anger, confusion and something that looked remarkably like…

Lust. Deep, burning, wanting lust. Kaiba grinned and all awkwardness was gone. He was back in control. Jou was confused and also extremely pissed off, but no longer in control.

With a deep growl, Jou released Kaiba's hands and flew away, stalking to the other side of the classroom with surprising speed. Kaiba blinked and felt the heat and closeness of the other boy move away from him, and he shook himself and glanced cautiously at the other teen. Jou was prowling around the room, growling and pacing like a trapped beast, eyeing Kaiba every now and then with confusion and suspicion. From the door Kaiba could feel the boy radiating frustration.

He straightened up and brushed himself off, smoothing out his crumpled clothes. Jou had stopped pacing and was facing outside to look out of a window. He seemed to have calmed down a little bit.

Nothing was said for a while, and Kaiba was beginning to feel curious. What was the blonde thinking about? What did he want now that he knew something of how Kaiba felt? Kaiba hesitated and then quietly breezed over to the preoccupied blonde. Jou didn't hear Kaiba move and seemed genuinely shocked when Kaiba came up behind him and put two hands on Jou's shoulders. Jou flinched at the contact, but didn't move away. After a second of hesitation, Jou pushed back into Kaiba's hands and looked up at the taller teen. His golden eyes were wide and hazy, confusion and hurt dimming out the frustration still haunting Jou's emotions. He was still mad, but now he was even more so confused.

Kaiba's eyes widened and he gasped at the hollowed and dimmed look of his beautiful puppy's eyes. Why were they like that? What was wrong? He still had questions about before, and he thought he should discover those answers first. He gently pulled the boy into a warm embrace, stepping forward and pushing their bodies together. Jou breathed in deeply at the contact and looked back out of the window shyly.

"Jou…" Kaiba murmured, nuzzling the golden mane softly. Jou looked back at him and his face was contorted in confusion. Kaiba smiled reassuringly and continued gently. "Why did you act like that before? What did I do wrong?"

Jou was silent, and he lowered his eyes ashamedly. Kaiba frowned.

"Are you alright, Jou?"

"No, I….I dunno. I mean-yeah, I'm cool…I'm…its ok…really…" Jou trailed off weakly, barely able to convince himself that he really was ok, let alone the perceptive and sharp Kaiba Seto.

Kaiba sighed and let go of the confused boy, moving to sit on the top of a nearby table. His legs on either side, he motioned for Jou to come closer. Jou obeyed and found himself being pulled up towards the desk. Kaiba placed Jou gently between his legs and Jou sat there, head bowed, cheeks stained with a fine rosy blush. Kaiba leaned against him, holding Jou close in a comforting hug.

Jou closed his eyes and felt the thin chest of the brunette rise and fall with each steady breath against his back. The thump of the brunette's heartbeat and the wavering scent of his body invaded Jou's senses, and he could no longer think straight. He had never been so close to another person like this before…in their arms and on their minds. It was strange, yet somehow Jou felt comforted that Kaiba cared.

"I'm sorry dat I acted dat way." He blurted out, not looking up at the person he was trying to talk to. He didn't want Kaiba to see the redness of his face.

Suddenly he felt embarrassed and shy. The anger had gone, and the reason for those reactions now seemed stupid and meaningless. He felt that he had acted like a petulant and vindictive child, out to hurt just because kaiba had imparted a dent in his pride. But he had still acted stupidly. Now he would have to explain himself and hope that Kaiba would understand.

"I, well…I was angry at ya cos ya made a fool outta me in front of evryone!" Jou continued, hurriedly spurting out his excuse and swinging his legs distractedly. Kaiba listened silently, feeling the boy tense up in his arms as he recalled the story. "It was bad enough dat ya had ta threaten me and make me look like a weaklin, but ya also made me look like I was ya obedient slave! Followin ya at ya command…call'n me puppy…in fronta em all! Ya embarrassed me! I'm Jounouchi Katsuya-I don't take crap from no one and ya made me look like I was ya faithful pet!"

Kaiba sighed. So that was why. He had embarrassed Jou, and hurt his pride. But something nagged at him. Kaiba had called Jou his 'puppy' on several occasions, so why had it bothered him so much back then? Then it clicked. All of the times Jou had been called Kaiba's 'Puppy' had been in private, when no one could hear the affectionate nickname that kaiba had given him. It was it being said in front of people that had set Jou off. But why would it bother him in front of people? Was he embarrassed, or something else? Maybe he should just apologise…

"Jou…" kaiba sighed into Jou's shoulder as he spoke. Jou relaxed again, and he lifted his head. "I'm…I'm sorry."

Jou smiled. Kaiba had apologised. He had meant it…he was sorry. Jou felt happy and immediately all of his anger and frustration was gone. He twisted in his seat, trying to face kaiba. It didn't quite work, and all it did was crack his back. Frowning slightly, he tried it another way. Swinging his legs over Kaiba's so that he was straddling him, Jou grinned and gave kaiba a hug, muttering "its ok…I'm sorry too…" into the surprised brunettes ear.

Kaiba blushed, and a familiar monologue drifted over his mind.

So very close…

And he leaned in, pressing his lips softly against the golden boy's perfect mouth. This time Jou was ready, and he kissed back with fervour. Everything moved so suddenly, but Jou was happy. He was also confused, but for now, he was just going to go with it. He melted into the strong arms of the brunette, and everything seemed alright.
