Title: Hey Yeah-eh yeah

Summary: "I'm so sorry Seto." Jou confessed as he stood in front of the older teen. Smiling in a small heartbreaking fashion his eyes wandered over the blonde, "I need to be on my own," He declared softly.

J/S YAOI

Warning: Swearing, sexual references

Sitting in his bedroom Jou felt oddly calm after what had happened earlier that night in the park, it seemed like destiny when his and Ren's rainy walk guided them to Kaiba's perch on the swing. Jou couldn't help but feel emotionless when he gazed at the brunette, staring aimlessly off in the distance.

But what they'd both needed was closure and that was exactly what Jou had felt entitled to do.

"Jou are you sure? He seems like he wants to be alone." Ren observed.

Gazing at the brunette he knew Ren was right but he knew if he didn't do it now it would most definitely be never. He just wished that Ren wasn't there, that would make this easier. Which, thinking about it, there wouldn't be much of a difference anyway- maybe more fighting.

Jou felt weird standing silently in the rain, between the two people he said he would care for unconditionally. Yet he fucked them both over multiple times and he was about to give Kaiba the final blow.

"I didn't mean you and me us- I meant Ren and I." Jou said.

He saw Kaiba's face contort into something between anger and sadness but it was soon gone as was he.

Jou just stood still.

"Maybe I should have run after him? What do you think Yugi? Jou asked leaning against the window staring at the droplets of rain sliding down.

"I think you should give him time."

Jou laughed hollowly, "It's been months."

"He said you broke his heart- remember?" Yugi retorted.

Thinking it over Jou had tried desperately to pretend that hadn't happened but he knew it would never go away, Yugi loved to remind him of it.

"I didn't mean to…"

"I know- but he needs time still."

"You don't have to do this." Jou said stepping in front of the older teen.

"I know- but I promised you."

Jou shook his head.

"Let me do this." Kaiba demanded, directing himself and Jou to the long table.

The two teens sat down next to each other and smiled at everyone while a photographer took pictures of them as they smiled uneasily.

"Good job, everyone is so proud of you." The MC said.

After a few more minuets of talking the two teens hung up and Jou thought over what Yugi had said. But it wouldn't help if Yugi watched over him day and night, Kaiba was running and Jou knew he would chase after him. Picking up the phone again and dialled the CEO's number.

He didn't pick up but Jou knew why.

Jou cursed at the caller, ID but instead of giving up he just kept calling. After about 50 pressed redials Jou felt like driving over there and just throwing a boulder through his window.

Finally, someone picked up.

"Can I drive your Jaguar?"

"Haha… no." Seto snapped playfully.

"Please… I'm really good! Honestly."

Seto shook his head as he turned the corner on to 5TH street.

"Absolutely not- you are still in beginners."

Jou smiled and reached his hand over and caressed Seto's inner thigh, tracing the fingers lightly over the crotch area then back up to the knee. He felt the brunette shiver. Using his other hand he unbuckled himself then leaned over Seto's lap using both hands to undo the zipper.

"Jou…" Seto gasped.

Reaching his hand inside he grasped the brunette's member tightly and pulling up till it was fully erect. Hearing the older teen's breath hitch was enough to drive Jou to take the head of the shaft in his mouth. Gently but feverishly he bobbed his head up and down on Kaiba's lap.

"Please…"

"Please what." Jou whispered.

"Oh god."

After some tugs and clasping Seto was ready to cum but instead of finishing Jou lifted his head.

"I want to drive the car."

"No." Seto panted.

Jou nodded his head downwards.

"I can finish myself off." Seto said.

"But I know you want me to." Jou said huskily.

Seto gave in, in more ways then one.

"I said to not fucking call me anymore."

Jou sighed deciding to ignore the greeting.

"How are you?"

Jou knew he was on Kaiba's death list, but it was better than to be completely gone. That by Jou's standards was worse. Then he heard a click and was annoyed that Seto had hung up. So hanging up and then picking up the phone, he pressed redial again.

"Stop it now…"

"Hear me out… Kaiba please."

"I have, many times before."

"You shouldn't be here."

"You're beautiful."

"I'm not that kind of person."

"I'm not asking anything of you."

"You called me beautiful- Kaiba never says that- you knew that."

"Kaiba won't even say anything that has to do with"-

Jou held a finger to his mouth. "Don't say it… if you say it I'll believe it."

Ren held the blonde to him.

"You deserve it."

"I know but I want to tell you everything." Jou pleaded.

"To make yourself feel better?"

"No- you've done so much."

He heard the other teen grunt and sigh loudly.

"Fine you have 5 minutes starting now."

Jou smiled softly, "Kaiba would never do this."

"He can't be that romance intolerant?" Ren said.

"No… he has his moments."

Ren sat down beside him on the hill.

"He'd be afraid to get grass stains on his pants."

They laughed. Ren cupped the blonde's cheek and kissed it softly.

"How long?"

"Now." Jou grabbed the teen's collar and laid him on top, the other teen rested his elbows on the soft ground as they furiously made out.

"I want you."

"Wow from one little meeting you two fucked."

Jou shook his head, "No it was over the course of time- since that banquet."

"Hello my name is Ren. I'm from Micro-tech."

Jou and Kaiba smiled at the young man who joined them at their table. Kaiba and Ren shook hands while Jou finished his parfait.

"So I was thinking we should join forces against London's up and coming software firm- it'd be perfect."

Jou nodded his head although he didn't know what to say- what he did know Ren was oddly handsome.

"Who are you exactly?"

Jou stuck out his hand, "Jounouchi… Kaiba and I are together."

"Oh I see, damn."

Jou blushed but he knew Kaiba was boiling up inside so he rubbed his leg under the table so it would reassure him everything was all right."

"You did that every time I was with him and he would say shit like that."

Jou choked, "I know- I'm sorry."

"No more sorrys, your apologies are bull shit now." Kaiba said.

"Then how can you forgive me? Please… forgive me." Jou said. "You have to forgive me."

"What do you think?" Kaiba asked pointing towards the painting.

Jou looked over, "Good."

Raising an eyebrow he moved closer to the blonde and rested his head atop of the blonde's shoulder. "You usually have more to say."

Jou moved away from the brunette, "I think I should go."

"Oh."

"Please forgive me."

A long silence filled the line. "I don't know if I can… ever." Kaiba whispered.

"I can't believe I'm hearing this again Jounouchi."

Jou winced at the use of his name, "I just think- we need some space."

"We don't even talk at school. How much fucking space do you need?" Kaiba yelled at him. "Or is it because of…"

"No… I would never!" Jou cried, "Never…"

"You lied to me a billion fucking times!"

Jou was ready to hang up but he knew his heart was just too stubborn for that. "Then talk to me, tell me what I should do… at least look at me."

"I can't very well do that on the phone-"

Smiling he murmured, "I know."

"So."

"Good night."

Kaiba hung up the phone but Jou could care less that he hadn't said goodnight or anything for that matter, something sparked. They'd made some progress and Jou happily hung the phone up, relieved for the first time that they could finally have a civil conversation.

"When are you going to tell him?" Ren said sitting on the couch beside Jou in the Kaiba's living room.

"In a little bit." Jou whispered.

"Going to hike that shirt up?" Ren chuckled.

"Just a little bit." Jou sung.

"You mean in a little bit." Ren corrected him. As they kissed Jou felt the buttons of his jeans slip open, then the hands were gone and he was being pushed away.

"Kaiba."

Jou slipped a blonde strand behind his ear; gingerly he traced his fingers along a photo of Ren and him on a lazy April morning. It was a month into the affair and Jou felt sorry for how oblivious he was to Kaiba's feelings and how close he was to losing both of them from his own selfishness.

"You wanted to be with fucking Kaiba so you broke up with me and now he doesn't want you back so you think I will." Ren said icily.

Jou sighed, "Yes something like that."

"Well fuck you."

"Ren I was confused, you don't understand."

"Oh I understand if you don't get what you want then you leave." He yelled, "I understand clearly."

Jou grabbed at his hair, "I just… I just." He stuttered, choking. "Kaiba and I… he was my first and I was scared."

Ren said nothing.

"And you… you were my first bad thing… and I loved it and I hadn't realized I was falling in love with you at the same time." Jou took a deep breath, "So ok."

Ren stood still then in one swift moment he cupped the blonde's head and kissed him on the mouth.

"Kaiba."

A groggy voice answered the phone, it was 2 am. "Jou?"

"I was thinking… we should go for a walk."

"Right now?"

"Yes."

"No."

"Ok."

The next morning Jou's alarm rang loudly in his ear. Taking a long hot shower he got dressed and snatched a granola bar on the way out. School was only a few blocks away but he remembered Kaiba insisting on driving him there and back every day.

Since math was his first class he decided to join in half way through so in that time he spent walking around and walked right in to Kaiba who was going outside for a cigarette.

"Want one?" Kaiba asked walking right by him.

Jou stumbled but nodded and followed after; realizing new walls were being pushed through. "Is that a new brand?"

"No, imported." Kaiba snapped.

"Oh." Jou said noticing he was awfully grumpy this morning.

Outside it was silent except for the gym classes running laps around the track. The sun was shining and everyone Jou could see in the classrooms seemed in a daze. Possibly because summer was right around the corner and exams had everyone throwing up.

"This year couldn't be longer." Kaiba drawled taking a drag from his cigarette.

Jou nodded leaning against the brick wall inhaling the aroma of the brand. "I can't believe we have only one year left."

"Hm."

Jou smiled.

Not realizing he had spent the entire period outside with the brunette, but time had always been like that with him and it always would be. The buzzer rang and students filed out of their classrooms and some outside for their own cigarette break. Picking up his books Jou made his way to the science wing for a round of biology.

"Later."

"Later." Jou said walking through the east doors.

The day went by fast and Jou couldn't wait to be out of there to go and talk to Kaiba. But by the time he got into the hallway he noticed Kaiba's Camry was gone. Sighing he walked slowly to his locker hoping maybe he hadn't parked in the student parking lot.

"Don't whip me with that TOWEL!" Jou screeched dodging out of the way.

Kaiba laughed, "Stop moving!"

"It hurts." Jou said trying to sound in pain but his laughter rang through. "AH!"

Kaiba ran up and grabbed the blonde around his waist and lifted him in the air, the blonde's leg flying up and over the counter of the kitchen.

"Let me go!" Jou said through gasps of hair. "Haha."

Kaiba climbed on top of the counter, "Shut up." And he kissed him gently on the mouth and leaned their foreheads together in a silent embrace.

"Don't tell me to shut up." Jou said hitting his nose with his own.

Jou stood looking at the locker, the memories would always come and go and it always hurt. Biting his lip he leaned against the locker door.

"I'm so sorry Kaiba."

"For what?"

But Jou just hugged him tightly and said nothing. Hanging on for dear life he didn't let go, he wished he would never have to.

"I should have just told him." Jou said to Yugi on the phone that night.

"Yes, yes you should have."

"I think I still like him."

"No! Jou you can't." Yugi said.

"Yugi?"

"No… don't get up in that mess again you might lose both Ren and Kaiba, Jou."

Jou thought it over, Yugi was right. There was no need to get involved in that mess again, it was over done with and he needed to move on.

"You're right… plus were young… who cares!" Jou said.

"Exactly we have our whole lives for this messy shit."

"That seems weird coming from you." Jou mused.

"Shut up!" Yugi laughed.

Later that evening Jou changed into a suit and tie ready to have dinner with his mother. She had arranged for him to meet her at Habit Hoard, a new chic restaurant on the other side of the city. Jou felt annoyed she had asked only this morning and even more annoyed that it was to have a nice dinner on a Monday night.

Arriving already fifteen minutes late he found his mother wasn't there yet either, apparently their reservations were moved to 7:00 and not 6:30. And once again she had forgotten to tell him at least a day in advance.

Sitting in the lobby he ordered a beer with his fake ID, hoping to finish it before his mom arrived so she wouldn't begin acting like the parent she wasn't to him. It was one of the worst brews he had ever tasted although it supposedly was the best, his richer classmates raved.

"Disgusting." Jou muttered, pushing the beer away.

Then he heard a familiar voice and a foreign one behind him, turning his head he recognized the neatly done brown hair and trademark blue trench coat.

"Jounouchi." He heard the other teen say more to himself then a greeting.

Sliding around to face them on the stool Jou felt his stomach go up in butterflies at the site of the young man who stood behind the tall brunette. The young man had soft green eyes and flaming red hair with pale but freckly skin.

"Jou," Kaiba said, "This is Marcus- my date." He added quickly.

Jou held out his hand but his heart sank at those two words.

"H- Hi." Jou said just above a whisper.

Jou gulped and smiled but he decided he couldn't hold on to the grin for long so he excused himself from them and his nasty tasting beer and headed for the men's room. Once inside he grabbed hold of one of the sinks and stood over it breathing heavily. It seemed insane of him to feel this way since it had been months since he and Kaiba were together yet he couldn't help feeling alone.

Staring at himself in the mirror he began comparing himself to Marcus, blonde hair, red hair, brown eyes, green eyes, and fair skin, pale skin. They were the same height yet he felt Marcus was much taller then him, maybe even better then him. This made him feel worse.

Suddenly remembering why he was there he walked slowly out of the washroom to see if his mom had come, and just on time there she was sitting at a little table a few feet away from Kaiba's table with Marcus.

"So how are you and Kimba doing?" Jou's mother Jane asked sipping on her Manhattan.

"Kaiba…" Jou corrected her.

"Yes," She smiled ignoring Jou's dirty look, "Kaiba."

"We're doing good- it's been 6 months." Jou beamed.

"Great- doing anything?" Jane asked.

Jou shook his head, "We're only in high school."

His mother laughed, "I know, but its fun celebrating something like that!" She giggled to herself then looked coyly at her son, "How is he?"

"What?" Jou choked.

"How is he in bed?" She whispered grinning madly.

Jou looked away blushing, "Mother!"

"What has it been, weeks?" Jane gleamed sipping her drink as Jou sat down across from her.

Jou gave her a curt smile, "More like months," He said assuming she hadn't noticed Kaiba and his date.

She sighed, "I am sorry… I know how much of an inconvenience this is for you- always."

Letting out some steam Jou decided to give his mother the benefit of the doubt for her sincerity. He noticed her staring at him intently but he didn't care. All he did care about was the way Marcus was rubbing his foot up and down Kaiba's leg.

"Jou."

Jou snapped out of his trance and looked at his mother.

"How are things with Kaiba?"

Jou said nothing. The words wouldn't come out so he nodded his head to where Kaiba and Marcus were sitting.

"Oh," She gasped looking to where they were sitting, "Is he cheating on-"

He shook his head, "Kaiba was wonderful," He murmured softly.

"Shh don't say that in front of her." Jou scolded playfully.

Kaiba wrapped his arms around Jou from behind and nipped at his ear, "And what if I do?"

"Oh you don't want to know!"

Kaiba smacked the blonde jokingly on the butt as they rang the doorbell. Inside was a hustling and muffled noise. The two teens gave each other funny looks as they knocked again. The door swung open and a young man raced past them with no pants on and his suit jacket over his arm. They watched him run down the stairwell then turned their attention back to a red in the face Ms. Jounouchi.

"Mother!" Jou yelled while Kaiba tried to contain his smirk.

But instead of arguing with her son she smiled at Kaiba, "Well my son has unusual taste- I wish you were legal!" She said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Mother!"

"Jou… why didn't you tell me?"

Jou said nothing.

Lying in his bed he thought over what had happened, nothing made sense anymore and he was starting to question his feelings about Ren. But it seemed more like deja vu then anything, this is exactly how he felt when things with Kaiba started to become serious except these were totally different circumstances.

Maybe he was just not the monogamous type? Maybe it was time for him to be single. He thought about and it seemed like so much to jump from one serious relationship to another.

And like Yugi said "We have all our lives for this messy shit."
