Jou slowly backed up until his damp back was against the bathroom door.
Glancing back into the bathroom Jou checked to make sure there wasn't
another door or something. Nope. This was definitely the room he had picked
earlier.
"May I be so bold as to ask what possessed you to break into the room? I know I locked it." Jou said nervously.
"This is MY bedroom!" Kiaba yelled vehemently. Seto was sitting up now and Jou noticed the bruise on his chest. Then glancing down Jou attempted vainly to cover his own torso bruise.
"How is this your bedroom?" Jou asked. "The door was unlocked and on top of that, that Cecelia woman said the room across was 'Mr. Kaiba's room.' I should know. I tried to break in and she caught me." Jou paused for a moment. "On second thought, ignore that whole breaking in thing."
Seto meanwhile was shaking his head. What Jounichi was saying was actually plausible. Today, being Wednesday, was cleaning day and whoever cleaned his room might have failed to lock the door behind herself. Seto however was enjoying Jou's nervousness and continued feigning disbelief. Getting off his bed to further intimidate Jou he said. "The room across from this room is Mokuba's. He is, after all, a Kaiba."
Jou said nothing. Swallowing a lump that was in his throat, Jou inched towards the bed that Seto was standing in front of.
"Sorry." Jou said. Though he wasn't too sorry. It had been a very nice bath. Then grabbing his stuff out from under his, well no, Kaiba's bed, Jou quickly went to the door with Seto glaring daggers into his back.
With nothing else to do, Jou quickly went down the hall and picked the room farthest from Seto's room. Plunking his stuff on the floor, Jou lay himself down on the bed, mentally exhausted. As an after thought, Jou got up to lock the door. "Not that in matters much." Jou thought. "Seto, probably has a key to every room in the house. It was his after all." Just as Jou got to the door it opend to reveal a dark hallway and Seto Kaiba outside his door. "Dressed in black boxers." Jou couldn't help but notice. Then deciding the man's waistline was not the polite place to be looking he moved his gaze up to stare defiantly into Seto's eyes.
"Is this room taken, too?" He asked.
Seto smirked, "No." He said. "I thought you might like these back." He said waving a pair of duel monsters boxers around. Jou blushed furiously and made a grab for them but Seto kept them just out of Jou's reach. Glaring, Jou made another attempt to grab them but missed again.
"Fine!" Jou hissed. "I didn't know you were interested in 'men's' underwear, but I always thought you'd be the panty snatcher type!" Now it was Seto's turn to blush giving Jou all the time he needed to snatch his boxers back. "And in the future," Jou said feeling the master of the situation for once, "I would appreciate it if you would knock!" Then shutting the door in Seto's face and locking it, Jou swaggered over to the bed and plopped himself down for a good night's sleep.
***********
BANG BANG BANG!
Jou jumped out of bed and looked around stupidly. Glancing down Jou noticed something was missing and quickly put on a clean pair of boxers to fix the problem. Jou hoped desperately no one had come in the night and seen him in his. moment of nothingness.
BANG BANG BANG!
"Get up Jounichi!" Jou wondered briefly who that was then realized it was Mokuba. Opening his door a crack, Jou popped his head out.
"What's up Mokuba?" Jou asked staring at the pyjama clad kid before him. Grinning mischievously, Mokuba said.
"Seto says it's time for breakfast and sent me to fetch you. I think he's still embarrassed about last night." The wicked grin never left Mokuba's face. "So what WERE you doing in my brother's room?" Jou shook his head and shut the door. "Were you waiting to greet him or did you have something else in mind?" He heard through the door. "Why were your boxers in his room? What DID you say to him. Are you gonna go in his room again tonight? Can I watch? Did you really-"
"MOKUBA! SHUT UP!" Jou and Mokuba jumped. Mokuba turned somewhat sheepishly to face his fuming brother. Jou opened his door a crack again to see a bright red Seto glaring at his little brother. Then Seto glanced at Jou with an apologetic look on his face and said, "Breakfast is ready. So, ummm, you can come down when ever you want but I'm leaving in an hour so make it sooner rather than later."
Jou nodded and pulled his head into his room. He hoped Seto hadn't noticed that Jou had caught the meaning of Mokuba's inquiries. More so he hoped Mokuba hadn't seen. That kid was cruel. Jou quickly got dressed and was about to go downstairs when as an after thought, he pulled a clean pair of socks out of his bag and stuffed them in his pocket. Then he went downstairs, with the map Seto had given him last night in front of him.
"Okay," Jou muttered to himself. "Walk down the stairs and turn right. Walk to the main staircase and go one more door past on my left side. Go down that hallway to the elavator at the end then go up to the fourth floor." Doing these instructions Jou eventually found himself in the dining room after getting lost only once.
"Glad you could make it." Seto said comfortably from the table where he was drinking a coffee and reading the paper.
"What a freak." Jou thought. What kind of teenager reads the stock section in the morning? Mokuba was sitting at his spot eating a bowl of corn pops unusually silent. Jou wondered what Seto had said to him to shut him up.
Jou, not really sure what he should be doing, sat down at the table. Seto, with out looking up from his paper said. "Would you like cornpops, miniwheats with frosting, fruit loops, lucky charms or cocoa puffs? There's also toast, pancakes if you care to wait, frozen waffles, and fresh fruit. Pick something."
"uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh. Ummmmmmmmmm. Heh Geeeeeee, I'll have what Mokuba's having."
Seto glanced over at Mokuba's bowl and said loudly, "A bowl of corn pops." Jou heard the sound of cereal being poured in the kitchen and a moment later Cecelia came in bearing a bowl of corn pops and a pitcher of milk, which she left in front of Jou.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhttttttt." Jou muttered under his breath. Then he heard a giggle from Mokuba. "What's funny now?"
"Ahem! Nothing."
"Oh."
With a sly grin Mokuba said, "So what DID happen last night?"
Seto slammed his coffee cup down and was about to yell at Mokuba but Jou beat him to it.
"Mokuba, Kid. Look. You know I like you a lot and I think you're a great kid. But really now, put a sock in it. If you don't got a sock to shove in that annoying mouth of yours you can use one of mine." Seto meanwhile proceeded to drink his coffee thoroughly enjoying Mokuba's shocked reaction to Jou actually disciplining him. Then reaching into his pocket Jou carefully lay his clean socks on the table and added. "They're clean but if clean socks don't shut you up, dirty ones are always available."
Mokuba swallowed, a little nervous at the threat, while Seto nearly choked on his coffee as he was trying to stifle a giggle. Mokuba, seeing Seto's rare laugh smiled a bit and making eye contact with Jou shrugged to say he had no idea what was so funny.
When Seto managed to get him self under control, he stood up quickly and said, "I have to go in to the office today, but I'll be home around dinner time. You can just hang around the house with Mokuba and entertain yourself." And with that he left Jou and Mokuba to finish their breakfasts.
When breakfast was over, Mokuba looked over to Jou, seemingly over his moment of bashfulness and said, "I feel like swimming today you want to come?"
Jou twiddled with his spoon. He didn't really want the younger Kaiba to see his bodily artwork of bruises. Jou didn't think Mokuba needed to know how nasty some parents can be. "Nahhhhh." He said. "I'm not a good swimmer."
"That's okay! You can stay in the shallow end!" Mokuba said.
Jou desperate for a way out said, "I forgot my bathing suit."
"You can borrow one of Seto's. He won't mind."
Jou sighed. He wasn't getting out of this one. Still, it would be interesting to see what kind of bathing suit Seto wears. "I hope he doesn't wear a nut pack." Jou thought suddenly. But then dismissed it. Not because he figured Seto wouldn't wear them, just the thought of ANY man wearing them was disturbing. "Jou shuddered at his mental thought. Then he suddenly realised he was quite alone in the dining room. With out anything better to do, Jou picked up his and Mokuba's bowl and brought them into the kitchen. Putting them by the sink he promptly felt a restraining hand on his shoulder and spun around to see Cecelia there.
"Mr. Jounichi? What are you doing?"
"Huh? Oh, I was just going to do the breakfast dishes."
"NO NO NO! Out of my kitchen imeadiately. OUT!"
Jou was shoved out the kitchen and found himself in a room he didn't recognize. He heard the door slam behind him and the click of a lock being turned. "Who the hell has locks on the kitchen doors?" Jou thought briefly. Then he was struck with a thought. His map of the Kaiba house was sitting on the table next to his socks. OHH Crap!
