Thank you guys for being so patient. It must have been a bitch waiting so long, but it was even more of a bitch waiting to get a new computer. I know this chapter is short, but I wanted to get it out, so I wouldn't keep you waiting. It is pretty much their thoughts jumbled up together, so at least you know how they are feeling. I will try to come up with the next few, but I need to work on my other two stories as well. Also, sad to say it, this story is going to come to an end in the next few chapters. I don't know how many there are going to be before that, but we will see how it goes. Anyways, leave a review to tell me your thoughts on these two, and stay tuned for the Grande Finale!

Chapter 12

Seto always hated that fucking window. Always at the same time, every morning, the sun hit its spot in the sky, and sunlight poured onto the king size bed he slept on. It scattered across your body, and moved into your face, blinding you through your eyelids. Damn the fucking sunlight.

This is how Seto woke up the next morning. He could feel the edges of a headache nipping at him. Maybe if he just closed his eyes and hid under the duvet, it would go away. Doubtful.

He sat up in bed, and stretched. What the hell had happened last night? Oh yes, drinks with the Mutt. Well at least he wasn't hungover, surprisingly. That always occurred after he drank. Actually, come to think of it, he felt warm and comfy.

Rubbing his eyes, he looked around. Was there something he was missing? His clothes were scattered all over the floor, and the covers of his bed were a complete mess. Wait a moment…how did Jou end up getting home?

With a flash of realization, it all came back to him. The sweet smell of his hair, the lingering kisses, the…

"Oh…my…gods." He sat dazed for a moment, and then did a look over the room, as if expecting the Mutt to come bounding out of the bathroom. But his clothes were off the floor, and Seto took that as a sign that he had left.

In a flash, he was out of bed and in the shower. Shower time meant time to think. He went over last night's events in his head.

We had too much to drink. He kissed me in the elevator. We fucked in my bed. It wasn't as if he regretted doing it, but he was questioning himself as to why he had done it in the first place. Did he ever think that he felt something for Jou? He was always just there, and he never gave it a thought.

Hang on a sec; it wasn't as if Jou was objecting. And Seto knew he wasn't drunk. Neither of them were drunk, they had full control of their bodies. So why did neither of them pull away when this situation arose?

Great, now the headache was coming on. Stupid thoughts and Seto had to work today on top of it all. He wondered if Jou would bother showing up, but he knew that it was not likely. He hopped out of the shower and towel dried his hair. He had work to do. Thought about the blonde would have to come later.

"God Seto, you look terrible."

Seto looked up and Melanie, glaring. "Thank-you, very much for your acute observations. Now, what the fuck do you want?"

"A bit touchy aren't we?" said Mel, slapping a pile of papers down on Kaiba's desk.

"Fuck off." Kaiba left it there. The last thing Kaiba needed was to think about touchy.

Mel ignored him, and took a bite of something that looked like celery, "So, how was last night?"

Kaiba spewed the coffee he had put into his mouth just before Melanie said this, all over his desk.

"Are you ok?" Mel rushed to her boss's side.

"I am fine," said Seto, gasping for air, "Just…go do something."

"It is all done. Unless you have something else that needs doing, I finished everything yesterday."

Kaiba was a bit fearful, "How the hell do you know about last night?"

Melanie looked at him as if he had three heads, "Because you told me? Geeze, you're dense, do you not remember saying 'Leave the light in the foyer on Mel, I need to get these papers done, I might be here all night.'"

Kaiba had to admit, the impersonation she did of him was not half-bad. He was relieved, "Oh, I got most of it done; I just have a bit more to do." Perfect lie.

"Give it here, I'll do the rest, I am not doing much anyhow."

"I am fine," said Kaiba running a cloth on the coffee, now all over some of his papers.

"You have got to be bored, just give it here."

Kaiba slammed the rag he was holding down on his desk, "Why don't you take the rest of the day off?"

"Sweet, now I can go to that sale at the mall. Thanks, and see ya later Seto."

'Why do I have a feeling I have just been tricked by my secretary?' Seto mentally kicked himself, because you have, stupid.

Seto arose from his desk to get more coffee.

Jou kicked an empty pop can across the sidewalk. He didn't feel like going to school today, and he didn't feel like talking to anyone. He would rather be alone, going through his thoughts, thinking about the night before.

He had woken up in the morning, but unlike Kaiba, he had certainly not forgotten the night's events. Kaiba had been deep in sleep beside him. Damn, he was beautiful. He then remembered why he was there, and who he was with, so he had gotten dressed quietly, and made his way out. By then, the offices were open, and Kaiba was already running late. He went out the back door, and was gone.

How would he even face Kaiba after this? 'Hey, how are you? We fucked, last night, remember? So, have any paperwork for me to do?' Yes, that would go over well. And Kaiba of all people? Kaiba didn't even like girls, how the fuck did he end up in bed with him?

What did he think about last night? Hmm, Kaiba did look pretty good, damn good if Jou had an opinion on it. His breath was sweet, and he smelled like the cologne he wore everyday. Jou remembered all the small things. The way he touched his cheek softly, unusual to his usual macho attitude. He actually seemed to care about what he was doing, not like a mindless animal, simply fucking to let some steam out. But Jou didn't know if Kaiba was being caring, or just nervous. He could be putting on an act for all he knew. But this all came back to the fact that yes, he had slept with Kaiba, and yes, he would have to face him.

Oddly, Jou wasn't all that nervous about this. Sure he was nervous, but it isn't like rape happened. It wasn't as if either said 'Hey, this shouldn't be happening, so, lets stop now.' No, what happened, happened. Nothing could change that, and nothing will. Jou was going to be a man about this. He would face Seto, and not hide from him.

Jou knew he didn't love Kaiba. Not yet anyways, he did not know him well enough, but he wouldn't mind spending more time with him. After all, they had gotten along the past few weeks, what harm was it in spending more time together? None at all.

So why was Jou heading the opposite direction from Kaiba Corp.? No answer to that question. Turning around, Jou tried to imagine what Kaiba would look like after seeing him step into his office. He would go there later tonight, when there were no distractions.

"Back already?"

"I ran out of money," said Mel, admiring a bracelet she has purchased on her off-work shopping spree.

"Pity and you almost ran yourself out of a job."

"You lie, you wouldn't fire me."

Kaiba looked up from his laptop, "I wouldn't?"

"Nope, you love me just to damn much. Plus, you can never replace me. You are stuck with me. Anyways, I am going home. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yea, and come on time!" Kaiba shouted through a now closed door. It was true, he never would fire Mel, it was hard to find people he actually got along with.

You got along with Jou easily enough. Sure, he got along with Jou, but the boy still irked him, despite being good-natured. You only find him annoying be cause you like him. Do not, he is just a friend. With benefits? No, who happens to be a very good paper slave. Yea, he makes a pretty good bed slave to.

"Why the hell am I arguing with my thoughts?" Kaiba closed his laptop, and walked around his office, something he had done all day. He was going to wear the soles in his shoes out of this continued, but he needed to be moving. He heard the elevator shuffling, and then footsteps. Mel must have forgotten her coat. Good, Kaiba had time to ask her about this…the whole 'I have this friend…' speech would work well enough. He was sure Mel thought his love life was much like some forgotten tumbleweed.

He opened his office door, and didn't expect what came to his sight.

Hey Seto," said Jou, "What's new?"
