Accidentally In Love
Chapter 8: Accidentally In Love
-----------------------------------------------------
"Seya-kun, don't forget to tell the gang to be here at 7:00. They can eat dinner here if they want to." Mokuba as he finishes his breakfast. Seya just nodded. He's still sleepy for staying up too late.
"Stayed up too late?" Mokuba inquired. Seya again, just nodded.
"Sorry...this new environment really gets into me..." he said before standing up and walking towards the front door.
"Where are you going?" Seto asked, suddenly appearing beside Mokuba. Seya turned but doesn't look on Seto's eyes.
"Jou said that I can walk with them to school. They'll be waiting for me on the next block." he explained. He then dared to look at his teenage father and added, "you don't mind do you?"
Seto couldn't understand but Seya's droopy eyes reminds him of Katsuya's that all that he could do is nod.
"Thanks." Seya started walking away. Kaiba, on the other hand, turned towards the bathroom.
'I really got it bad....'
--------------------------------------------------
"Excited aren't we?" Jou's dad quirked an eyebrow when his son went to the bathroom for the 'TENTH' time early in the morning.
Jou just grinned at him before nodding. "I just want to know if I'll look good at this outfit." he then turned to his dad. "What do you think?"
His dad just looked at him before laughing. "You sounds like a girl Katsuya." Jou blushed before turning away.
"Yeah yeah...hmpf! I atleast need some moral support here dad."
"Well, I'm not your mom but you look good at that. Besides, green is the Jounichi color." with that, his dad stood up and went to the kitchen. Jou just smiled and started fixing his hair.
-----------------------------------------------------
The day had passed too much fast for Seto's disappointment. After the school bell rang, Yugi stood up and smiled at him, thanking him for being the sleepover host.
"It's not MY sleepover Motou. Just ask Seya for details." with that, he barely ran from the room. Unfortunately, it's the same time Jou's going in after going to the boy's bathroom.
"Watch it Mutt!" Jou's now sprawled on the floor while Kaiba was lucky to hold the doorframe so he'll not stumble down like Katsuya.
"Your fault Moneybags!" he glared at him. Just as he's about to add more insults, a hand was held in front of his face.
A hand that's connected to Seya's arm.
"Here Jou-kun." he then turn to Kaiba. "You should say sorry...you know." he turned to Kaiba. Kaiba glared at him but when he saw Seya's and Jou's linked hands, something inside of him twisted in pain. So he turned away.
"Got no time for a mutt and a brat." he murmured to himself before going without a word. The gang plus Seya just stood there, speechless.
------------------------------------
'Why am I feeling this? It's not like I'm being jealous or something.' Seto as he looked at the gang setting up the living room for their sleepover party.
He then glanced at Seya, Jou and Yugi chatting about some cards. He remembered how Jou took Seya's hand and the pain came back again.
'Shit! I've got no time for this!' he walked towards his study when Mokuba called everyones attention.
"Good evening everybody! I hope everyones having a good time." a murmur of yes answered him. He nodded before continuing.
"As the highlight of the evening. I've decided to held friendly karaoke competition. Random couples will be picked and will sing a duet. We'll base on the karaoke machine to determine the winner." a cheer followed his proposal. Seto's eyes widen when his brother looked at him with a grin.
'This is not good!'
-------------------------------------------
##Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one##
Yami took Yugi's hand and looked deeply at his aibou. Yugi smiled and sang the next lines.
#It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise#
they then both look at the audience before singing the last line.
#Looking through your eyes#
everyone clapped with amazement. Who knew the pharaoh could sing like that? And the song suited them well. If the couples and the song aren't 'randomly' picked, one could say it's really meant.
"And for our next couple." Mokuba took out a piece of paper from a box. Seto knew that the only names not picked are his, Seya's, Otogi's and the mutt.
'Katsuya! Shit! What if I'm picked to be partnered with him?' Seya and Otogi's names then flashed on his mind. 'On the other hand, I'd rather him have me as partner than those two! No way I'm letting my puppy near their hands...MY PUPPY?! Damn it!'
"Jounichi Katsuya! and his partner will be...." if Seto could have been more attentive, he'll see that Mokuba didn't get another piece of paper from the name box, rather took it from his pocket.
"Kaiba Seto." everyone grinned. Katsuya, who's currently stuffing his mouth with chips coughed it all out. Seto would have dropped a sarcastic comment but he's too stunned to speak. Which is a good thing since it's easier for Honda and Bakura to take him on the stage and give him a mic.
Jou, who's still trying to breath, was led by Yugi and Ryou towards Seto and handed him a mic aswell.
Seto shooked out from his stupor when a warm body come in contact with him. Both looked into each others eyes and were surprised. Kaiba was quick to recover.
"I'm afraid we'll lose. The mutt can't sing."
This fired Katsuya's rage. "I can to! It's you who doesn't know how to!"
Seto smirked. "Really now? Dogs can only bark you know."
Before Jou could answer that, Mokuba entered their song combination. The title 'Accidentally In Love' flashed in the screen. Both were surprised but quickly hid it.
"Watch how the master sing." Katsuya smirked. But Seto just smirked backed.
"Yes, WATCH your master...dog." Jou would have hit him right then and there but a sudden thought occured to him. He smiled inwardly.
'I'll show him.' as the first verse came, Jou quickly took over.
#So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it#
Seto was amazed by Katsuya's voice. 'The mutt can really sing. But he still has to bow down before his master.'
#How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love#
Seya couldn't believe this. First, his father dancing, then playing the violin, now this? And the song really seems familiar to him. He just doesn't know where he'd heard it.
At the chorus, Jou had forgotten that his duet partner is Kaiba. All that he knew is that he's performing.
#Come on, come on
Turn a little faster#
He curled his fingers towards Seto as if he's calling him which Seto obliged.
#Come on, come on
The world will follow after#
Jou then turned towards the crowd and did the same thing. Seto then joined him at the last two sentence of the chorus.
#Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love#
Gaining confidence and loosing all his inhibitions, Jou let it all out. 'He'll never be mine so might aswell savor the momnet. He won't know that I meant every single words of this song.'
#So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love#
Seto smiled. He don't know why but it's like Jou's talking to him using the song. It's a good thing the next verse holds almost everything he wants to reply.
#Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love#
Everybody was stunned. Seto Kaiba smiled! And he's actually standing beside Jou without killing him. The end of the world must be coming. Luckily, Jou got out of his space out zone to sing the next lines.
#These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no#
'Could it be...? No! He wouldn't have anything for me...it's not like...Damn! Wake up Katsuya..it'll never be!' Katsuya could barely stop himself from crying. But what shocked him most is when Seto put and arm on his shoulders as he sang the chorus.
#Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love#
'Hope the mutt won't get any ideas.' Kaiba as he try to stay aloof and like nothing's new. Like it didn't matter that he's practically hugging the one person he desired.
#Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love#
'Is this really happening?! Please don't wake me up if its just a dream!!!!!' Jou almost jumped from happiness like what he sang suggested. 'I really treasure this moment...' and as if by chance, they both looked at each other while singing the next lines.
#We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love#
Seya just looked at them. 'This is not good. My plans are failing.' He then looked at Otogi with a sad smile on his face.
"What's with the smile?" he asked. Ryuugi turned to him, the sad smile still on his face.
"I just lost a game."
#Accidentally#
"What? I don't understand." Seya looked confused but had a haunch it's got something to do with his parents.
#I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally#
Otogi gestured towards Jou and Kaiba. "Just like the song said. They're both In love..."
#Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her#
Seto held Jou's hand and both feel the spark. He twirled him around before they sang the last line.
#Love ...I'm in love#
Seto stopped smiling once he became aware that he's hugging Katsuya closer than before and that it looks like he's coming down to kiss Jou. The applause both wake them up from their dream and quickly entangled themselves from each other.
They waited for the scores and was amazed that they got a perfect 100.
Seya looked at them before turning to Otogi.
"They're In love...?"
Otogi nodded before tunring his back at him.
"Yes...with each other."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Can I have a talk with you?" Seya asked. Jou looked surprised but neverthless nodded. Seto overheard it and stopped himself from yanking Jou's hand off Seya's grip.
'That brat! He's making a move on my Katsuya!'
Seto didn't even register what he had said in his mind because Seya and Jou had disappeared.
'Now where are they?'
---------------------------------------------------------
"Is there a problem Seya?" Jou looked at Seya as he took him out the balcony where he saw Seto playing the violin the night before.
"I just want to ask how's your...eh...life..."
"You're weird you know? Maybe you're missing your family..."
Seya looked at him and saw the dad he knew who'll always be there for him.
"Yes." he answered with all his heart. He really missed his family and friends in the future. He then turned towards the sky.
"That's the north star." Jou pointing a bright star. Seya nodded.
"When you're lost just look for it and you'll find your way again." he continued before being cut off by Seya.
"For the north star will always be at the place where you left him. He patiently waits for you to look up, forever." Jou looked at him with sparkle in his eyes.
"Yeah...know what? I want to be just like the north star."
"Why?"
"Then I can have all the patience in the universe to wait for the right one."
"What if the right one isn't the RIGHT one to choose?"
"When you fall, being right doesn''t matter. All that matter is that you're in love. Shit! I'm not getting to mushy for you am I?"
"Nope." silence then fell between them. After a few minutes, Seya suddenly asked.
"Do you love him?"
"Who?"
"Seto Kaiba.....do you love him?"
"Do you...Jou-kun?" a note of desperation on Seya's voice made Jou to turn towards him.
"What is it with you if I do or don't? Do you like him?"
Seya shook his head. "I...I just want know..."
"Seya, wha--" but he's cut off when Seya suddenly left. 'What's with him? Like he didn't want me and Seto to get together.'
He then turned at the north star. 'I wish you could answer me.'
----------------------------------------------------
Seto walked aimlessly. The party had been over an hour ago and everyone is asleep. Well...almost everyone.
He had seen Seya talking to otogi awhile before turning back to his room. Which means Jou's somewhere in this mansion...alone.
A thought came to his mind on what have happened between Seya and Jou the time they're alone. But he quickly dismissed it when a not-so foreign pain came unto him.
'Shit! Not this again. For the last time I'm--' any coherent thought had fled his mind the minute he saw the scene before him. Katsuya, leaning on the balcony rails softly humming an very fmailiar tune. The lights coming from the hallway and from the outside made a shining outline of the beautiful pup.
'It made him somewhat surreal. Fragile to touch...' Seto's moment was shattered when Jou turned towards him and looked surprised.
The spell was broken but the aftertaste of that moment still lingers.
"Sorry...did I disturb you?"
----------------------------------------------
Jou couldn't believe his ears. Was Seto Kaiba...THE Seto Kaiba apologizing to him. He can't help but just nod. Maybe if it isn't real and just a figment of imagination then...
"Not really. Wanna join?" might as well take advantage of it.
The Seto dream looked surprised but he disregard it. It just makes everything near real.
After a moment, the Seto dream answered. "Sure." he then stood beside Katsuya.
"What's up pup?"
Jou chuckled. "Even in my dreams, you won't leave that alone don't you?"
Kaiba looked at him with confusion. 'Dream?'
"But know what...? I like it...it makes this dream somehow real...that there's a possibility that we can talk to each other without having to rip each others head off." Katsuya smiled that made Seto's inside into a puddle of goo.
"Why do you want that? Having a truce...I mean."
Katsuya looked at him like he'd grown a head or something.
"You're funny you know? It's not that I want us to stop bickering...it's just...I'm getting tired of it."
"You mean you want us to go our separate ways and forget that we've ever met?"
"NO!" Seto was surprised by the outburst. He can't help but ask for the reason. Jou just looked at him before looking at the heavens.
"I'm thankful that we've met. That destiny made way for our souls to meet. But somehow...I'm getting tired of fighting when all I want is to..." Jou trailed off.
"To what Katsuya?" Kaiba fisted his hands. Could Katsuya felt the same...?
"To...Oh look! The first fall of snow!" they both looked up and saw that winter had arrived.
"You know, I have this silly dream on having my first kiss while the snow falls on me and my love." Jou smiled remembering the dream he had where Seto and him WERE kissing under the falling snow.
"Want to make it a reality?" Seto didn't know what came over him but suddenly the thought of kissing Katsuya right then and there plague him like he'll die if he didn't do it.
Jou looked at Seto with surprise in his eyes but neverthless hold an affirmative answer. Seto locked his blue orbs with Katsuya's honey brown and goes for the dive.
" come a little closer, the world will follow after " Jou sang. Seto smiled and ended the song before going for the kiss.
"accidentally in love."
"What's up guys?" Seya suddenly appeared seconds before Seto's lips touched Katsuya's.

A/N: I seriously wanted to be killed. I updated waaaaayyyyyyy too long and I end it up with a cliffie. I really want to die. But on the bright side, it's the longest chapter I have! Sorry if it's late. I was in a monastery, then I had my finals and THEN I celebrated my brithday! So yeah...it's really hectic...did I mention too that I had a car accident? nope? then add that too. :) So sorry if I didn't update earlier. But don't worry, I'll try to update the next chappie sooner. So please don't be mad. Here's some YGO plushies for you. :)
Also, sorry for the fluff and sap...I must be hanging way too often with my friend. Also, I've met someone who's really into fluffy and sappy stories while in the monastery and she's really shocked that I'm the writer of this story. Apparently, she's one of my readers. The world really is small! :)
Plus, I'm reconsidering on going back there..I dunno..be a nun or something...but it still freaks me out whenever I'm told I would have to leave writing if I do want to become one. To be a writer or a nun, that is the question....I'm not too willing to answer....:P
