Disclaimer- I don't own Jounouchi, Seto or Serenity, they are from Yu-Gi-Oh, which is owned by like other companies and stuff, lol.

Sorry I took so long to update, I had slight writers-block, and then for the past week I've been on a field trip down to England, so I was unable to update, sorry!

Thanks to all the reviewers! You're da best!

"I'm here to see the m- Jounouchi Katsuya," Seto quickly corrected himself, cursing himself mentally, maybe he did use that little nickname for Jou far too much?

"Okay, are you family or friend?" the receptionist questioned politely, before throwing her long gorgeous blonde hair over her shoulder and smiling brightly at the CEO before her.

Seto was stunned into silence for a few moments, before frowning and angrily barking back at the pretty woman, "Neither! I'm simply here to check the stupid mutt isn't dead or anything!"

This sudden outburst gained several dirty looks from other people who were also visiting their injured or ill friend/family member.

"Excuse sir! But there's no need to shout! And please don't be so rude, there are many severely ill patients on this ward, and they don't need to hear your booming voice! So stop being such an arrogant pig and get out of your denial, sir!" the receptionist cried back, she was generally a very nice and sweet lady but she wouldn't take any crap from anyone, no matter how powerful or rich they were.

Seto was slightly taken back, that was the first time anyone had argued back, well aside from Jounouchi of course, but he always fought back, no matter what situation they were in.

Although Seto was shocked, he made sure not too show it in his expression, as he remained glaring and fuming, he growled as he grinded his teeth together, "Just tell me what room the mutt's in…"

"Geez, I'm glad you're not my boyfriend…" she murmured, "All awards go to this Jounouchi for putting up with you…"

"What does that mean?" Seto's voice grew deadly, as his eyes went on fire, fire filled with anger and hatred, although the receptionist seemed unbothered by any of Seto's threats.

"Well, he is your boyfriend, right?" she questioned.

That was the last straw for the handsome brunet, this lady was openly claiming that the Seto Kaiba was gay, and in love with a stupid mutt that he despised more than anything else in the world!

He hesitated, reconsidering his last thought, I-I think…

Seto roughly shook his head, in an attempt to throw any weird and un-Seto-like thoughts out of his mind, not noticing a faint pink blush form on his cheeks as he spoke back to the blonde lady, "He is not my boyfriend!"

The receptionist knew there was something else there, maybe he was telling the truth and that Jounouchi boy wasn't his boyfriend, but how come he was blushing? Yeah sure, a lot of people would blush if you claimed them of being gay or liking a certain person- but not the all high and mighty Seto Kaiba! So why was he blushing? There was something else behind it, simple as that.

She sighed, deciding to let it slide, "Fine, he's in room 2.37, try and not wake up the entire hospital with your yelling anymore, okay?"

Seto grunted, before spinning on his heel and stomping towards the stair well, choosing not to argue with the woman any longer than needed, he didn't want to waste all his time in this damned hospital after all!

As he climbed up the stairs, images of Jou covered in blood pierced themselves into the brunet's mind; he flinched, shaking his head, then an unanswered thought slowly hovered around, What if he looks just as bad as he did when I saw him there?

Seto cringed at the idea of seeing Jou still hurt, and wincing in pain, although unconscious it was still very evident he was in pain, his expression showed it, even as he slept, he hurt…

He eventually reached room 2.37, he stopped infront of the door, suddenly considering over whether he should go in or not, for some reason, he felt nervous, like he didn't want to see the pup in bad shape, but he had to know he was getting better, he just had too!

He entered the room, glancing over at the sleeping blonde, he hated to admit it, but he actually looked quite nice when he was sleeping.

He took a seat beside Jou's bed, watching the other boy sleep peacefully, he looked like he was much better, and Seto couldn't help but smile as he gazed down at the blonde boy, "A beautiful angel…" he whispered, before realising he had.

He widened his eyes in shock; just what were his feelings towards the mutt? A moment ago he was screaming at the receptionist for speaking apparent lies, but now, he could feel something, something else… Something he'd never felt before in his life…

He frowned, clutching his head tightly, I'm simply tired… 'Over-worked' as Mokuba always says… That's the only explanation…

"It has to be…" Seto said quietly, returning his gaze to the blonde puppy beside him.
