Unheard Love

by Growing Pain

[Seto x Jou] Seto does not know what to do when love conquers his heart, and to his enemy nevertheless. The fact that Jou seems to be everywhere only makes it worse.

15. Touch your desire

Disclaimer: Don't own the show nor the movie Spider-man. Just one copy. Though I don't own the sequel. Wish I did. I need a new movie to watch -.-' Ack.

Warning: OOC-ness (not joking. It's full of it. Dammit, they're just empty shells now! They're not themselves, simply look-alikes! Gah! I killed their personalities!), swearing, bickering, fluff (very much so.), schizofrenic and a mentally weak Seto, happy Jounouchi, suspicious Honda and an even longer chapter than last time. Joy.

Note: I raised my rating to M because of...well...you'll just have to see (don't make assumptions!). It's more of a just-in-case thing. I don't know if the rating T would do. -clears throat- Anyhow, I was supposed to update yesterday, but my account fucked up and I couldn't even log in.(!) Maybe there was something weird with the site, I don't know. So, here's the update! Read and enjoy (hopefully).

Unheard Love
Chapter 15

by Growing Pain

---

He had watched him eat the bowl of popcorns, finding it rather entertaining. Whenever the blond had noticed this however, he made a rude snort with a disgusted face and turned back to the movie... Only to watch him again through the corner of his eye once those brown eyes weren't focusing on him any longer. That is, until there was no more popcorn left. And to be honest, it all came down quite quickly.

Which took away his only reason as to why he would be staring at him in the first place. Which also meant he had to pay attention to the movie. Because he had promised Mokuba he wouldn't work. And just sitting without doing anything was rather boring.

With an arrogant look did he watch the story of Peter Parker, who was supposedly intelligent. But he was weak-minded and caused the death to his own uncle. How ironic. Actually, that had been the only slightly enjoyable part so far. Though Jounouchi had looked at him strangely when he'd said "Serves him right." once the spider guy lost his uncle. Apparently, it was a "touchy moment". Hm… Didn't notice.

Now the fictional characters were celebrating an American holiday. Thanksgiving. Commercial bullshit. Strangely enough Jounouchi kept his mouth shut about wanting food. Could it be that he was actually full? No… Impossible, he mused with affectionate feelings.

Sneaking a peak to his left, the CEO noticed the blond trying to have his eyes remain open. He seemed tired. Wasn't he supposed to like the movie? Hmpf. Hypocrite.

With a glare he elbowed the other, though not with much force. This immediately startled the other, who glared back at him with brown, sleepy eyes.

"Stay awake, moron!" Seto whispered out. If he had to watch the damned movie, Jounouchi was too. After all, it was his fault Mokuba chose it. Stupid blond. Though everything did seem stupid and pointless at the given moment. In response, the brown eyed teenager mumbled something incoherent to him before closing his eyes, trying to sleep once more. And the brunet widened his eyes in surprise, but not because of the blonds attempt to sleep. No, it was how he chose to do it.

Because with a content, quiet sigh did the blond let his body lean towards his own, making the head with a blond mass land on his broad shoulder. Their arms pressed against each other, and the CEO froze, unable to speak, act or think properly. Jounouchi on the other hand adjusted his position a bit more, enabling him to get in a more comfortable position, not appearing bothered by this at all. He drew his legs up to him and bended them. But since his entire figure was leaning towards the other, his legs did as well, brushing against Kaibas' lap. The brunet felt the warmth from the other, making him feel weird feelings in stomach. His heart also appeared to stop beating for a second, only to increase the pumping one second afterwards.

And in one little moment did he feel thousands of emotions and feelings rush through him. The position they were in…it felt so perfect…fantastic, comfortable, exiting…and wrong. He had to do something. But his body didn't listen to his mind, who had already decided he should push the other away. Neither did his body listen to his heart, who told him to hold the other and pull him closer. With a firm voice, that hid his inner panic attack, did he speak out to Jounouchi, whispering.

"I'm not your pillow." Katsuya smiled tiredly against his arm. He could feel his cheek. Thank God he had long sleeves.

"I know. But you'll do." The blond muttered in an amused tone, but showing he wasn't up for talking. No. He seemed quite tired as he snuggled just a little bit closer. Then after a few seconds did he become motionless, and Seto suspected he had fallen asleep. His blue eyes widened once more, and he reached out his free hand to shake him, so he would wake up.

"Jounouchi, you drooling -" He started out, putting his hand firmly on the others' shoulder. He was just about to shake him forcefully, but was interrupted in doing so.

"Leave him, Seto." His brother said, looking at the older one with his normal expression. The brunet narrowed his eyes at his younger brother, protesting.

"Mokuba, if you think for one second that I'll let him drool all over my expensive clothes, you're wrong."

"Hey! Jou doesn't drool! …Much…" Honda defended, giving the CEO a minor glare. But his input to the discussion was dismissed and ignored.

"He's tired. Just let him sleep." Mokuba said, keeping his tone steady.

"The idiot chose the movie! Now he has to see it!"

"I chose the movie, Seto!" The younger brother corrected.

"Fine! If you're so keen on having him asleep, you can have him!" The brunet said, pushing the blond so he was leaning against his younger brother instead.

"What? No! Take him back!" The raven haired nearly shouted, being buried by the blond teenager, who was sleeping like a rock as always, unaware of the situation at hand.

"Don't think so." Seto said with a snort, going back to the movie, a bit annoyed by his brother.

"Seto, he weighs a lot!" His brother pleaded, trying to push Jounouchi away from him. Unbeknownst to him, that wasn't really the fact. Instead, Kaiba had a hand on Jounouchi's arm, pushing him down on Mokuba with a controlled force. The smirk was hard to keep at bay.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing!" Mokuba warned, pushing extra hard this time. With a sigh did Seto stop his pushing and pulled back his arms to his side. Though, the raven haired boy was unaware of this action. And since he was still pushing Katsuya it was with much force that he once again ended up resting against the CEOs' body. Like a boomerang had he returned, displeasing the brunet. Immediately Kaiba frowned, glaring at his brother.

"I told you, I will not have him." Seto stated calmly.

"But he's your friend." Mokuba pointed out, calmly as well.

"That doesn't mean a thing." The brunet declared with a snort and folded his arms.

"Of course it does." His brother said with a small smile, and the CEO tried to look as unfazed as he could. It worked very good.

"Don't think so." And then the brunet did what should have been done right from the start. He pushed to blond to a sitting position, so that Katsuya wasn't leaning on neither on them, leaving both of them happy. He smirked proudly to his brother, who merely rolled his eyes, though amused, and started to rewind the movie from where he had missed it.

After that it became dreadfully boring. But he had to stay awake and watch, because he could just not fall asleep like Jounouchi. Not when he had company. You should never let your guard down with people around you, especially enemies. And Honda wasn't exactly an ally… Though he did appear lost in thought. Perhaps he wouldn't notice. Not that it mattered. It was the principle of it all that counted.

Approximately seven minutes later, because he kept counting in boredom, did he feel the familiar weight on his shoulder again. He was taken aback, but didn't let his body react the way his thoughts did, and kept his calm expression. Which turned into a frown as soon as he saw that the blond, who was still sleeping, unconsciously moved to sleep on him. Again.

"Idiot…" He muttered, perhaps a bit bitterly. But his eyes held the truth, carrying an affectionate gaze. And with a sigh, marking the fact that he simply didn't care enough to fight the blond away once more, he let him rest there, so peacefully. Instinctively did his eyes seek out his younger brother, whom he found smirking at him.

"Don't even say it." Seto warned, his voice icy cold, his eyes matching his tone. "The idiot just keeps coming back. It's fruitless to push him away." He said with annoyance, making sure he sent a hateful glare towards the blond. At least he hadn't drooled, he mused to himself.

"Of course, big brother." Mokuba answered, that smirk of his having a hard time disappearing. Fortunately, he turned back to the television screen, leaving him at peace.

He was stiff. His muscles were tense. All because he wasn't used to physical contact. Especially not of this kind. People usually never touched him, and vice versa. At the tops he gave an occasional hug to his brother. But this was different. Because he held romantic feelings for this oblivious individual. For a sort of protection, he had folded his arms, feeling more powerful over the situation at hand. It always made him feel better, though he didn't know why.

He found that he had problem breathing properly. Though he disguised it very well, not bringing any attention on him at all. Luckily, he quickly managed the problem by taking slow, deep, and inaudible breaths.

It took time. But eventually he relaxed. He let his body sink slightly into the couch, not keeping his super straight sitting position, but letting himself get more comfortable. Of course, he was still sitting properly. But at least he felt better.

He hated how he felt. Because he was enjoying having the other sleep on him. Just like how it could be. How he wanted it to be. So teasing this was to him. A goal he couldn't reach, right in front of his eyes.

A somewhat incoherent mumble about pizza escaped from the blonds' mouth, making the CEO snap back to reality. Both Mokuba and Honda rolled their eyes at Jounouchi's words, amused. But Honda, who was far too used to it, forgot it quickly and turned back to the television screen. Mokuba held his gaze at the blond a while longer, smirking. But eventually he too turned back to the movie. Seto himself snorted while looking down on the blond mass of hair to his left, still wishing he could have him. His troubled blue eyes gazed at the blond's serene face calmly. A sudden rush of pride went through him as he realized that Katsuya enjoyed sleeping on him. At least, he appeared to. For some reason, it made him feel content.

Suddenly his sleeping comrade started to move slightly, though still dreaming. To his surprise, the blond slowly moved his arms around his own, the one he was leaning on, only to end up sort of hugging it. It wasn't with much strength this gesture was done with. After all, he was still asleep. But it was enough to the CEO. Which immediately sickened him. How could he take pleasure from this? How degrading. But…his emotions took no notion of his thoughts, pushing them away to only be a memory. He shouldn't care whether Jounouchi hugged his arm or not. But he had a hard time not to.

And he ached inside. Because he knew this could never be. Should never be. And most importantly would never be. He should just learn to accept it. Deal with it. But no. His useless feelings stood in the way, growing every time he looked at the blond.

His outside had frozen, and his blue eyes were fixated on Jounouchi, who cuddled so shamelessly with him. But he had no inner power or even motivation to push him away. So he just kept staring dumbly at him, while the object of his affections was blissfully unaware.

After being completely still a few moments, Mokuba eventually turned his head to see if his brother was okay. His blue-grey eyes witnessed Jounouchi's arms wrapped around his older brother's left one, while Seto stared bewildered at the blond. And he burst out laughing at the scene, finding it too amusing to disguise his humour about it. This made Honda withdraw his attention from the movie to Kaiba and Jounouchi, and looked quite shocked.

"What the hell!" He burst out, though he appeared confused as well. The younger Kaiba kept laughing, though receiving several glares from his older brother which he didn't notice. And the CEO realized how this all looked, and quickly shoved Jounouchi away from him, losing his body heat. His eyes turned emotionless as he let his inner walls close around him, protect him. And his brother stopped laughing.

What had he turned into anyway? A teddy bear! This was not acceptable!

"Seto…" Mokuba pleaded, his behaviour much more solemn than seconds ago.

"Watch the movie." The brunet demanded, glaring at the screen himself.

"I wasn't laughing at you. Jounouchi just looked so funny…" The raven haired boy explained, his eyes showing his sincerity. Seto ogled at his brother, but looked away almost immediately.

"Well, he is rather peculiar…" He mused out loud about the blond, showing his brother there were no hard feelings between them. Hmpf. Like he could stay mad at his brother. Especially for such a silly thing.

Instantly, blue-grey eyes shone, and the younger of the two smiled kindly.

"Yeah I know! He's really weird!" Mokuba agreed enthusiastically, to show his brother he was on his side. The blue eyed brunet only smirked, not answering.

"Hey! Just because Jou is a bit weird at times doesn't give you the right to say mean things about him!" Honda defended, though directing his statement to the older Kaiba. Seto turned his gaze slowly from the screen, carrying a spiteful glare. And that was the only answer he gave as he then turned his gaze back to the TV screen. Mokuba then took over the situation, telling the spiky haired brunet they were only joking and would never say anything to hurt Jounouchis' feelings, after which Seto snorted. His younger brother merely sighed at the elders defiant behaviour of being nice, but let it pass, knowing he wasn't truly as bad as he makes himself out to be.

Eventually peace once more returned, everyone minding their own business. Honda and Mokuba ate with no restriction from the various snacks, Jounouchi was still sleeping, in a sitting position and not bothering anyone beside the occasional snore, and Seto tapped his finger on the couch's armrest, waiting for everything to come to an end while catching himself doing forbidden glances at the blond from time to time. Everything was seemingly normal and dull. Luckily the movie seemed to come to an end.

And he couldn't help but notice that the sleeping teenager beside him started to slowly awake, groaning softly. His eyes were transfixed, finding it oddly mesmerizing to watch the other come to life. Beautiful…

Tiredly, the blonds eyelids started to open, blinking a few times to adjust. Then, when his eyes were fully open, did his gaze meet his own when he lift his head up. A small, tired smile was sent to him. The brunet stared with his blue eyes at the man beside him, his mask of indifference covering everything up.

But never had Jounouchi looked so perfect as he did now.

"Hey! You're awake!" Mokuba said, smirking at the blond. Brown eyes tore away from the gaze he had with the blue ones and looked at the younger one with a guilty expression.

"Heh. I didn't mean to fall asleep…" He excused himself, scratching the back of his head.

"Dude, you've been out of it since the start of the movie. Speaking of which, it's almost over." Honda pointed out with a teasing grin, playfully punching Jounouchi's shoulder.

"What!" The blond bellowed out dramatically, looking at the screen. Indeed, that was the case.

"Damn! I missed all the fights!" He declared in a disappointed voice. With a sigh did he sink into the sofa.

"Why didn't anyone wake me!" He asked, glaring at Honda mainly. The spiky haired brunet decided to ignore him and discover what else the bag of candy in front of him contained.

"Well…you looked quite comfortable -" Mokuba answered with a smirk, but was cut off.

"It's a good couch! How is it supposed to be uncomfortable?" The blond defended, folding his arms.

"-while you were sleeping on my brother." The youngest one filled in. After a few seconds the words sank in to the blonds' brain.

"Say what?" He asked, appearing quite confused.

"Idiot. What is it that you don't understand this time?" Seto asked arrogantly with an amused snort. Instantly did the blond turn to him, and he saw the brown eyes once more. This time glaring.

"Don't call me idiot, moneybags!"

"But why deny the truth?" He asked mockingly. Jounouchi growled.

"Calm down! Both of you!" Mokuba ordered, appearing annoyed. "I just want to watch the movie in peace, but you two keep disturbing me!" He said, adding a bit drama in his voice. The CEO looked away, cursing himself. Jounouchi turned back to the screen seeing as the brunet wouldn't keep the argument going. After that, everyone remained quiet, much to Mokuba's delight. Though when the movie was finally over, he wasn't as content anymore.

"What! He left her!" He asked, perhaps a bit too loudly, referring to the spider guy and his crush.

"That appears to be the case." Seto said dryly, wondering if he was allowed to leave yet.

"It's not supposed to be like that!" His younger brother protested, objecting with the ending, glaring at nothing in particular.

"It's just a movie, Mokuba." His older brother explained calmly, watching the screen lifelessly as the credits rolled.

"Cheer up kid! They hook up in the sequel!" Jounouchi comforted, giving Mokuba a friendly slap on his back and doing a thumbs up.

"What! You totally ruined the ending for me now!" He said, glaring icily at the blond.

"Oh…Um…Sorry." Katsuya excused, inching away from the younger one.

"You'll get over it." Seto stated while standing up and brushing off invisible dirt from his pants. "Now, call the chauffeur and have them removed." He told his brother with a indifferent tone, referring to the two guests. "I'll be in my room, working." Kaiba announced as he attempted to leave.

"Seto! It's Friday! Can't they stay a little longer? I'd like to play games with them." Mokuba asked, looking at his brother who was turned away from him.

"You have your own friends for that."

"But they're not half as good as me." He protested. Seto smirked. Well, that was true. His brother was a good player. "I need some competition Seto. To stay in shape." His brother explained, using a matter-of-factly tone.

"Alright." The elder brother declared. A smirk immediately formed on the raven haired boy's lips.

"But they're not staying the night." He said, his tone serious.

"Of course not."

"Good."

"We'll be in my room." The younger one explained, and Seto gave a small nod.

"Perhaps you also want to play, big brother?" Mokuba asked, tilting his head to the left.

"Yeah, come on Kaiba. It'd be fun." Jounouchi agreed, looking up from the couch.

"No… I have work to do." The CEO stated, and looked at the blond one last time before he walked away.

XxxX

His room was dark, just how he liked it. The only light was that of which emitted from the computer screen. His eyes were locked on it as his fingers typed with precision, knowing every key by habit. Some people would say he was far too used to it. He preferred to call it skilled.

His pale face was illuminated, his emotionless expression clearly evident while the rest of the room laid in a dark shadow, almost impossible to see details of anything across the room. The stillness and quiet atmosphere made his senses extra sensitive, as he heard a pair of feet outside the door. A forceful knock was heard, but he ignored it and continued to type. The knock was audible once more, louder this time. He snorted, and kept on typing. It was probably that blond idiot. The door was open. If he really wanted to come in, he just had to use his muscles.

A few seconds afterwards did the door handle go down, and slowly did it open. His blue eyes remained focused on his work, ignoring his surroundings. His typing continued, never faltering. From the corner of his eye could he see it was in fact the blond. He smirked, Jounouchi always managed to seek him out, wherever he was.

"So, this is where you hide from the world?" The brown eyed guest asked, still standing in the doorway, holding something in his right hand. The left one was still on to the door handle. Seto didn't reply, and kept typing. His guest observed the room from where he stood, the light from the hall making it more visible to the human eye.

"Can I hide with you?" He asked with a normal tone. Those brown eyes were directed at him, he could feel it. The brunet didn't utter words this time either, but did something else instead. Subconsciously did his right leg push out the chair beside him, indicating it was okay for the other to take a seat. This was all made swiftly, and his typing didn't falter, strangely enough.

Jounouchi smiled and closed the door as he went inside.

"Damn it's dark. What are you? A vampire?" He asked jokingly as he sat down next to the other. The object in his hand was placed on the desk next to the laptop. Apparently it was a pizza carton. Figures. As if he could go anywhere without food.

Wait. When the hell had they ordered pizza? Great… Mokuba must have called for it after he went to his room. He'd at least wished that his brother would've eaten something nutritious this day, instead of all this junk food. Hmpf. That's it. It's going to be all vegetarian tomorrow.

"Afraid I might bite?" He asked with a smirk, though still not looking at the other. The blond started to chuckle softly, and his smirk almost bordered to a smile. Almost.

"I'm starting to think that that might happen." He answered with a grin.

"Don't worry. You probably wouldn't taste any good anyway, considering all the unhealthy substances that's mixed with your blood." He replied in a cool voice. "Not that I'd take you as a first pick to begin with." He added, smirking. Jounouchi rolled his eyes and pulled the pizza carton closer to him.

"Bastard. You never give up, do you?" He asked in the same friendly tone he'd previously used. Kaiba simply kept the smirk on his lips, not giving any audible response.

"Do you always have to eat?" Seto asked after a few seconds when Katsuya had opened the pizza carton. Though annoyance wasn't apparent in his voice.

"It's for you, actually." The blond declared. The brunet raised an eyebrow, and kept typing.

"You haven't really eaten today. I mean, at the zoo you only drank coffee, and that's not much." He explained.

"Aren't you supposed to play games with my brother?" The CEO asked, suddenly wondering why he was with him.

"Yes." He answered, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world

"…"

"…"

"Well?" The brunet asked, a bit irritated because he was given no further response as to why he had strayed from the group and gone to him.

"You were all alone. Just thought I'd keep you company." He explained with a shrug, not thinking much of it.

"…"

"Aren't you going to eat?" Katsuya asked, eyeing the other curiously. The CEO sighed and closed down his programmes, making sure he had saved all the changes. The brown eyed teen smiled and turned on the desk lamp, since their source of light would be gone once the laptop was closed down.

Calmly did he close down his computer and put it aside, staring at the pizza slices.

"They won't bite you." His companion reassured, and he glared at him. Reluctantly did he take one and started to eat. It wasn't until the first few bites had gone down that he realized how hungry he'd been.

"Stop drooling, and eat." Kaiba ordered, seeing the look on Jounouchis' face.

"I wasn't drooling!" He defended while taking two slices. Kaiba snorted, wearing a smirk.

"Right." He said, his voice making it clear he didn't believe it. After that they went silent, eating in peace in the darkened room. The light from the desk lamp brightened up the room more, making things more visible. But it was still dark. Even the curtains were drawn down. Both ate a half of the pizza each, though the blond finished much quicker than the other.

"…Why won't you play the games with us?" He asked suddenly after having stared at the other.

"Why should I? I have work to do."

"Liar."

"What do you know?"

"Earlier today, in school, we made a deal. Remember? You were supposed to finish all your work until lunch, and then I'd make you listen to music. And since you finished your work… you're lying." He stated, wearing a proud grin. Seto narrowed his eyes as he ate final bite of the last pizza slice.

"So, what's the real reason?" Katsuya asked.

"I just don't want to."

"Why?"

"Does everything have to have a reason?"

"It makes it easier to understand." The blond answered with a smile. Seto snorted and turned on his computer once more.

"What? You're going to work again!"

"Yes."

"But Kaiba! Come on! That's not fun!"

"If you want to be entertained, you're in the wrong room." He said coldly as he began working once more.

"Don't be such a stiff snob! Come on!" He said playfully as he half-punched the CEO on his shoulder.

"Hmpf."

"We can have some fun."

"No."

"Gah! You're so damn stubborn!"

"Then leave me alone."

"Ha! Like you're getting away that easy! Don't think so!"

"What is this obsession you have with tearing me away from my work?" He asked with a smirk as he glanced at the blond. Jounouchi grinned back.

"Something for me to do."

"Tear Mokuba away from his games. That's quite a handful." He stated, his eyes concentrating on the screen. Amazing how good he was at multitasking. The blond groaned in annoyance and stood up abruptly and walked around in the room.

"I'll sing if you don't close it down."

"So? You're trying to have me by my knees with that pathetic threat?"

"You haven't heard me sing." He replied from the other side of the room, appearing to watch his carpet or something along those lines.

"I'm sure I'll survive."

"I'll throw something at you then."

"You do realize I could have you thrown out of my room easily?"

"What the hell am I supposed to do then!"

"Stop your whining, go away and leave me at peace." Seto stated. His comrade appeared to give it some thought.

"Nah. No fun." He finally concluded after a moments thinking. Seto sighed to show annoyance. Inside however, there was a feeling of being quite satisfied that the blond continued to stay, even though he pushed him away. The blond remained quiet a while after, walking around the room aimlessly. At least he could concentrate now…

"What're you writing?" The blond suddenly asked from behind, having snuck up. His mouth was close to his ear as he whispered out the words. Chills were sent down the brunets' spine and he had trouble breathing. His typing immediately stopped for just a second, as he was taken aback. He could practically hear Jounouchi grin. With a frown did he raise him arm and push the blond away.

"Heard of personal space, idiot?" He asked in a dark voice. Though his companions temper was still that of a positive one.

"Turn off the computer. You know you want to." He said teasingly, sneaking up from behind again.
"What is wrong with you!" Seto asked in a irritated voice, trying to concentrate on typing. Jounouchi sighed, annoyed, and folded his arms.

"You're always working dammit!" He complained with a frown. Then his eyes lit up in a second.

"Well, I can entertain myself!" He stated proudly, wearing a smug grin.

"Good." The CEO, not noticing his facial expression. After all, his main focus was on his work. Shortly after, he heard a sort of squeak. Coming right from his bed. And Jounouchi was laughing. Immediately he turned his head, only to witness the other jump on his said bed. Repeatedly. His precious, expensive bed.

"What the hell are you doing!" He roared out as he raised himself from his chair and walked over to the edge of the bed. "Get down. Now!"

"Nu-uh! I like your bed. Look how high I can jump!"

"Get down!" He roared out, louder. The blond kept chuckling.

"Nope." His blue eye twitched as he thought of the damage Jounouchi could bring to his bed. He should have just thrown him out the second he came! Instantly did he reach out his hand to grab the other, but the blond jumped away.

"Catch me if you can!" He said playfully while winking.

"That is it! Get down from my bed, you overgrown three-year old!" But his order went by without affect, and he could only witness as his sheets were going from perfection to a total mess. In rage did he walk up on his bed, now able to catch the other. The blond's eyes widened and he stopped jumping. But it was too late, the brunet didn't care. He forcefully pushed Katsuya down on the bed making the blond fall on his back. He held his wrists, clenching them to cause him hurt as he pulled them over the other one's head. The blond squirmed, trying to get loose, but with no effect. Blue eyes stared down with a murderous glare. He was sitting on top of his stomach, and to make him have trouble breathing, he pushed down his weight on that area even more. After a while Jounouchi stopped struggling, though his muscles were still tense, ready to be used when the right opportunity stroke by. He breathed deeply as he stared up into blue eyes with his own brown ones, a fierce determination flaming in his eyes. As always.

The brunet breathed calmly as his controlled face stared down at the one under him. Realization struck him then. The position they were in... The fact that they were even in a bed as well… He cursed himself and his feelings. Must everything be so damn tempting! His body stiffened, and his eyes slightly widened. In a very short amount of time did they go back to normal size to his luck. So he opened his mouth to speak, but his throat was dry and he found no words. How his hands simply wanted to roam the other ones body.

Unconsciously did his hands slightly lessen the death grip they had previously had on Jounouchi's wrists. His eyes were fixated on those under him, yet at the same time did he appear to be in deep thought. Katsuya seemed to notice this and narrowed his eyes in concern. The brunet wanted to snort, seeing as how amusing it was that it was the blond that seemed worried of him, even in this position.

"…Idiot." The taller man whispered, his voice and eyes carrying more affection than intended. But that he didn't notice, all his attention was fixated on the blond, wondering why he hadn't tried to break free. He had loosened his grip on his wrists. This was a perfect opportunity.

He just didn't understand him sometimes…

The world around them might as well have been gone, as he saw nor cared of nothing else at the given moment. His body felt Jounouchi's stomach go up and down in deep, slow breaths. Was he pushing too much? Didn't he get enough air?

His lips were parted and he noticed he had started to take deeper breaths as well. His left hand, ever so slowly, loosened its grip on Jounouchis' wrist, and ended up to simply rest there. Blue eyes to brown. Brown eyes to blue. Nothing broke the gaze.

Carefully did his hand lift, just a little bit. His fingers brushed against the others skin and trailed to the palm. The blond under him still didn't object or tried to break free. Was he scared?

Once his fingers reached Jounouchis' palm, he stopped and let his hand sink down to the one underneath, and his fingers spread out. Skin to skin. Their fingertips touching. He could feel the warmth coming from the other hand. The eye contact was still not broken. The lips of the man under him curved slightly upwards. Seto made a light smirk in return, wishing for their faces to be closer.

Jounouchi spread out his fingers, so Seto's fell between them. Simultaneously did they both interlace their fingers, holding each other hands weakly. Carefully. But there was no intention to let go either. And right now, Kaiba didn't really care about how his actions may appear to the other. Jounouchi was his right now. And that was that.

He had officially lost his mind. But couldn't break free. Didn't want to. It felt too good. For all he knew, this might as well be a dream. Somehow, all his worries seemed to be erased, reassured by that small smile playing on Katsuya's lips.

"Kaiba…" The man under him breathed out. The CEO smirked and lowered his head, just a little bit, getting closer.

"Jounouchi…" He said in a whisper, asking with his eyes what the other wanted to say. But no more words came from the blond.

He became aware that his other hand still held Jounouchis' wrist with a firm grip and loosened it slowly, and eventually completely let go of it. His hand had another goal now. To roam through that blond mass of hair. He had longed for it long enough. Today he would experience it. He had to.

His blue eyes still held eye contact with the ones underneath him. His face was emotionless, except for his orbs, showing a mixture of affection and curiosity. Jounouchi's former hint of a smile was gone. His lips were slightly parted as he continued to breathe deeply. Slowly. Steadily. His brown eyes appeared to glisten for a second, and remained to hold a sort of comforting security.

His free hand moved with its own mind it seemed, and stopped in front of Katsuya's face. He hesitated. How would he explain all this away? What would be his excuse? A confession of a secret love wasn't what he had planned on. And it would never come either. As if he'd stoop to such a sentimental, weak level.

He just wanted to touch…

The atmosphere around them was tense. It was an unwritten law he was breaking. He didn't know much about the rules of friendship, but he must've crossed the line some time ago. People didn't behave like this. What would he do if Katsuya found out? Understood?

In a bitter contempt over reality's harsh ways did he put down his hand on the bed. It wasn't his place to touch him. Not his right. And he broke the gaze, staring at the floor while straightening himself. The blond opened his mouth to speak, but noises outside the door was heard, resembling footsteps, and both of them shot their heads in the given direction, staring.

"Jou! Jou! Where are you, pal?" Honda's familiar voice called out through the hall. Why were they looking for him? Kaiba questioned mentally, knitting his brow. His eyes turned back to the blond, asking the question without talking.

"I…didn't tell them I was going to you." The blond under him answered, his eyes still looking at the door. His voice was low, as if he'd done something wrong.
"Then what the hell did you tell them?" The brunet questioned, his voice cold.

"That… I was going to the kitchen to get something to eat…" He explained, still watching the door. The footsteps did seem to come closer, as were the shouts. Mokuba's was heard as well. The CEO mentally sighed in frustration and drew back his hand which was previously interlaced with Jounouchi's. Brown eyes turned instantly and looked up at him, but he couldn't read the expression.

"Don't jump in my bed anymore. Got it?" The brunet uttered, staring down coldly. Katsuya made a small nod, and the brunet removed himself from the bed, placing himself a few metres away. His hands were in his pockets as he looked at the door on the other side of the room, awaiting the arrival of the two. For some reason, he felt bitter. But he didn't wish to elaborate that feeling at the given time. His blond companion rose up to a sitting position and sat on the edge of the unnecessarily large bed, staring up at the brunet, his back turned to the door. It appeared he had something to say, but he remained quiet nevertheless.

The shouts were getting closer. Yet neither of them wanted to help them find him. They kept waiting, one standing, and one on the bed. Eventually, a knock was heard, and Mokuba stepped inside.

"Seto, we can't find - Jou! Hey Honda! He's here!" The young one called out enthusiastically and ran up to Katsuya. Soon after the other brunet came into the room, walking up to were the group was. Seto remained standing, expressionless. The blond smiled at the other's arrival, greeting them.

"You do know that you have to have an awful sense of direction to think that this is where the kitchen is?" Honda asked teasingly, playfully punching Jounouchi's arm.

"Shut up! Don't make me kick your ass!" He replied, half serious and half joking. The younger one smirked, but his eyes got diverted from the sight and inspected something else instead.

"Seto…why are the sheets in such a mess?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at the bed. Everyone's gaze turned to it, taking in the sight. Honda's eyes widened as he abruptly shot his head back, glaring at the CEO, who only snorted and folded his arms.

"I was jumping in the bed, actually." Katsuya said, grinning at the younger Kaiba. Mokuba started to laugh.

"And you're still alive?"

"Hey I can handle your brother easily, you know!"

"Right…" Mokuba said disbelievingly. "Anyhow, Honda and I have been looking for you a long time now! Didn't you hear us? We thought you were lost."

"Oh…err…well, we didn't hear anything." Jounouchi declared quickly, and the CEO wanted to roll his eyes at how bad of a liar he was, but he remained to himself. Why was he lying to begin with? Nothing had happened. Nothing really big anyway… Hmpf. Who was he kidding. He had probably scared the blond or something alike by his thoughtless act.

"So what were you two doing in here then?" Honda asked carelessly, slouching down on the bed beside his friend. Seto narrowed his eyes at him, glaring.

"Oh. Nothing." The blond shrugged off. The blue eyed brunet decided he might as well work, and walked over to his desk, sitting down and turning on the computer once more.

"You know, it's really dark in here…" Honda said, suspicion in his voice.

"Seto always has it like this in his room." Mokuba said, not thinking much of it.

"Oh…"

"So how was the game, Honda?" Katsuya asked, changing the subject. It worked, and the two had a lively discussion on who could kick who's ass. Nothing Seto paid attention to.

"Seto?" Mokuba asked as he sat down on the chair beside his brother. It had been Mokuba who first took in it there, sitting up with him at times when he worked when he had decided they didn't spend enough time together. Sweet memories.

"Yes?"

"Do you want to play with us now?"

"No. Maybe some other day." He said absentminded, his main focus at his work.

"Liar." The younger sibling said in a lower voice, looking at the floor. The brunet immediately picked it up, and turned his head to face him.

"Tomorrow. I'll finish work early. We can play all day." He said. His voice holding little trace of emotion. But it was there. Mokuba instantly smiled.

"Really?" His voice, so hopeful.

"Of course. It's been a while." He said with a small smirk, turning back to the screen. "Go and practice now. I want you at your best tomorrow."

"You got it!" His brother said enthusiastically as he jumped down from the chair. "Honda, Jou, come on, we're going to play now!"

"Alright." Honda said, standing up. But the blond remained on the bed. "Uh… Jou? You coming, or what?"

"You know what? I think I'll stay here." He said with half a smile. Mokuba shrugged.

"Suit yourself. Honda, quit being a slowpoke!" He ordered as he walked out the door. The standing brunet looked at the blond one last time, and then at the other brunet, with a frown, before starting to walk out.

"See you later Jou."

"Yeah. And good luck trying to beat Mokuba!" The blond wished, wearing a teasing grin. "He's a Kaiba, after all."

"I'll win!" The brunet declared with confidence, and closed the door behind him. The two teenagers were silent, each man with his own thoughts. It was almost unbearable. Would he confront him on what he'd previously done? What on earth would he say? Nothing would cover it up properly. Then again, Jounouchi is a bit dense at times…

A small sigh was heard from the bed, and he heard the other stand up and start to walk. Away. To the door. Why? He was supposed to be there. With him. Not somewhere else. But in fear of coming off as he might give a damn, he remained looking at the screen, typing numbers and codes.

The footsteps stopped in front of the door. Was Jounouchi hesitating? And why was he hoping for it to be the case? It would be better if he walked away. Then the other wouldn't confront him. But he couldn't just let him walk around in the mansion freely. What if he broke anything? His belongings were expensive. Some even rare.

"Where are you going?" He asked, somewhat stern.

"Nowhere." Katsuya answered simply.

"Then why -" Kaiba started off, but was interrupted when he heard the sound of a click. A very familiar click. The sound his door made whenever he locked it. He turned his head and watched the blond, his back turned to him. When he turned around he was wearing a small smile.

"I just don't like to be disturbed. That's all…" He said as he walked to the bed once more, blue eyes following him with forbidden interest.

"Is that so?" Seto asked with a smirk.

"Mhm." Katsuya said as he laid down on the bed, his face staring up the ceiling. His hands were under the back of his head, and one leg bent upwards. He really wanted to be in that bed right now… Instead he snorted mentally at himself and turned back to his work, trying to focus.

"Are you going to work again?" He asked the back of the CEO, staring at him from where he laid.

"That was my intention."

"Was?" Katsuya asked, his voice a combination of sounding smug and hopeful. Seto made an amused snort as he smirked.

"Is there something you're hoping for?"

"Maybe." He replied, sounding carefree.

"Just say it then."

"I was just thinking…that…maybe you could come here, and we could talk or something."

"To the bed?"

"Well…your chair is uncomfortable." He explained. The brunet's smirk almost grew.

"I suppose…I could." He said, trying not so sound hesitant.

"Good." The blond declared, turning his gaze from the CEO to the ceiling once more as Seto closed down his programmes for the second time this evening. After putting his laptop away in a drawer, he turned around, watching the man on his bed for just a second. His smirk was still there.

He walked to the end of the bed, perhaps a bit slow, stopping to look once more. How he just wanted to grab Jounouchi's ankles, pull him closer and kiss him. It'd be a miracle if he survived this evening with him. Brown eyes watched with interest as the blue eyed man walked to the opposite side of the bed, sitting down beside him. Though there was still decimetres of space between them. Kaiba didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing. It was hinting towards bad in his mind.

"You get bored too easily." Seto declared, sitting on the left side of the bed while Jounouchi was on the right side. His tone was a bit cold as he was not sure what to say or do in this situation.

"You're going to start complaining about me again?" The blond asked, sounding a bit angered. "Well, guess what! There are things that annoy me about you too, you know!"

"Really?" The brunet asked sarcastically, though he regretted it. Why did he provoke a fight? Now of all times as well! He should work on his timing more…

"Yeah! For example, I hate the fact that you're such a workaholic! You're with that stupid computer all the time. I swear, you're going to marry it or something."

"…"

"And I hate when you think you're so much better than everyone else! Like no one's even worthy enough of even being in the same room as you!" Katsuya blurted out, and the brunet kept quiet with folded arms.

"And I hate that you never seem to care either!" He continued.

"Hmpf." The CEO glared at the man beside him. Brown eyes widened slightly, and softened, as well as his voice. He tore his eyes away from the brunet and gazed upwards again.

"…But you do know what I hate the most, Kaiba?" He asked, his voice not hostile anymore. The brunet snorted angrily anyhow.

"I hate the way you make me smile. Because you're not even trying to." Blue eyes widened. Where the hell did that come from! Sentimental idiot…, he mused with a smirk. Both were silent for quite a long time. Perhaps it even bordered to a minute. Eventually, the CEO spoke up, his voice hinting at being amused.

"…That's quite a lot to hate." He stated, staring at the wall on the other side of the room.

"Yeah." Jounouchi agreed, smiling with closed lips. "It is." It went quiet again, and the CEO shifted uncomfortably. The blond cleared his throat. After a while it progressed. Slowly did their eyes turn away from the previous spot they had stared at and looked into each other's orbs instead. Finding a place to rest their eyes.

He felt stupid, and he was pretty sure the other did as well. He looked uncomfortable with the situation as well.

"You know, this is a bed, Kaiba. You're supposed to lie down instead of sit like the stiff person you are." Jounouchi declared with a teasing grin. Seto stared down at him with a raised eyebrow.

"I was under the impression you could do both, which is in fact true." He replied, wearing a arrogant smirk. The blond rolled his eyes and sighed, staring up at the ceiling once more. Blue eyes watched him for a moment, then surprised the other by gently laying down as well, his head resting on a pillow. His gaze was firmly on the ceiling, but he could feel the brown eyes staring at him from his left.

"See? That wasn't hard, was it?" Jounouchi asked with a small grin.

"Quiet." Seto demanded, his voice stone cold. The blond smiled to himself anyway, and closed his eyes and rested. When the CEO finally had decided to face the other, his eyes widened.

"Don't fall asleep, idiot!"

"I'm not sleeping!" Jounouchi defended, his eyes still closed.

"But you will."

"Nu-uh."

"Yes you will. Open your eyes!"

"Why? Do you think they're pretty?"

"Hmpf. Idiot…" Kaiba muttered, turning away from him and staring at the ceiling. Thank God he wasn't the blushing type of person.

"Fine fine!" The other said, opening his eyes. "Happy now?"

"Whatever."

"…"

"…"

"Kaiba?"

"…"

"Stop ignoring me!"

"Hmpf. What is it?"

"Let's say that this whole reincarnation thing was for real…"

"It's not."

"Well, rhetorically speaking -"

"It's hypothetically."

"Who cares!…Anyhow. Let's just say it was real."

"So?"

"Do you think I'd be as handsome as I am now in my next life?" Jounouchi asked. Kaiba frowned.

"Is there really nothing of higher value in that miniature brain of yours?"

"It's not miniature! And yes, I have other thoughts!"

"Hard to believe…" He muttered incoherently. Though the blond knew he probably said some insult, so he glared. The CEO smirked back, a hint of affection in his eyes.

"Hey. Do you think there's any chance we'd meet our next life?"

"Hmpf. No."

"Why not?"

"The odds are too small. There are too many people on this earth you could meet with in your next life. Just wouldn't happen." The blond grinned.

"I'd find you anyway."

"Don't think so."

"Sure I would! I just have to look after the pale, arrogant computer nerd with a weird fascination of dragons!" He joked, chuckling.

"Then I'll make sure of avoiding all people with uncontrolled hunger, who also have an urge to never leave others alone." Kaiba replied, also joking, though in a more serious tone.

"Hey! Why don't you want to meet me then? Maybe I'm a supermodel and filthy rich. Maybe I'll even have fan girls!"

"Keep dreaming."

"Anything's possible."

"And yet you haven't disappeared." It took a few second for the blond to understand the insult, and hit Kaiba's shoulder when he did.

"Bastard!"

"Watch it, or I'll throw you out." Seto warned. Katsuya sighed.

"You're no fun." He said disappointedly, but went back to his normal attitude pretty quick. "So who do you think I'd be in my next life?"

"A zoo keeper."

"What! Then I condemn you to be a homeless guy! Ha! Take that!" The blond uttered dramatically, pointing at the other. Seto looked calmly into his eyes, glaring at the moron.

"I'll get rich anyway." Seto replied arrogantly, smirking.

"No you won't!"

"Of course I will. It's me." Jounouchi had a fit of coughs, saying the word "Narcissistic" in-between. Seto narrowed his eyes.

"I heard that."

"Good!" Katsuya declared, grinning. The brunet sighed, annoyed, and looked up once more. They went silent again, but he could practically hear that Jounouchi was going to speak up anytime soon. It's fascinating how he had learnt to read the other. Or maybe it was because he was so open all the time anyhow. Hm, that probably was it.

"Kaiba?" Jounouchi asked unsurely.

"Mhm."

"Do…do you love her?" Jounouchi whispered out, staring up as well, obviously referring to Arisu. His voice sounded weak, but blue eyes widened instantly. What the hell was he supposed to say!

"…"

"Kaiba?" The blond asked, turning over, tugging slightly on the CEO's sleeve since he'd been quiet for a while.

"That's personal, Jounouchi." Kaiba hissed out, brushing away the other one's hand.

"…Sorry. Didn't mean to…upset you." He muttered out as he retrieved to his side of the bed.

"…"

"She seems nice though." The blond tried, hoping the brunet wouldn't be angry.

"…"

"Pretty too."

"…"

"You make a great couple!" He encouraged.

"Stop lying." Seto demanded in a low voice, glancing at the blond with a murderous glare.

"Who says I'm lying?"

"You don't like her." The brunet declared. That much was evident. How he had glared at her when they'd first met. Not that he liked her either. Jounouchi looked apologetic at his statement.

"Sorry…But I'll be nice on Wednesday! I promise! She can even hang out with me, Yuugi and the rest if it makes her feel better!"

"Hmpf." He placed his hands on top of his stomach, holding them. Jounouchi sat up, looking at him.

"Just…don't be mad." He asked. Blue eyes met brown, for once carrying mischief.

"I'm not." He said with a smirk. Jounouchi blinked.

"What! You were just playing around! Asshole!" Jounouchi screamed out, though smiling, relieved that had been the case. And he playfully hit Kaiba's arm and chest to show just how angry he was.

"Dammit I thought you were really upset!" He said, still smiling, still hitting. Though the brunet got tired of the assaults, and grabbed his wrists. And just because he wanted to, he pulled the other closer, holding him firmly.

"Me? Never." He teased. "Now, stop hitting me." He ordered and Jounouchi nodded with a smirk. He gazed into brown eyes just a second longer before releasing him, and the blond pulled back slowly, still sitting beside the brunet. Brown eyes stared down at him, and he frowned. He wasn't very fond of being watched like that. Especially since he felt he had no control over the situation.

"Jounouchi, this is a bed. You're supposed lie down." He mimicked, smirking. The blond did as well.

"If you say so…" He said as he shrugged. He pulled his legs away from him and sank down his body, to the brunet's surprise, resulting in Jounouchi's head resting on his stomach. Seto instantly removed his hands from his stomach in fear they might touch the other. Brown eyes gazed contently into his as he laid on his side.

"What are you doing?" Kaiba asked, trying to remain calm.

"Lying down." Katsuya answered, not breaking the eye contact.

"How many times do I have to tell you! I'm not your pillow!"

"You're still comfortable." Jounouchi said innocently. Kaiba glared, and glared, and continued to glare. Though it had no affect.

"You just love to pester me." He muttered darkly.

"That, among other things."

"…"

"…"

"Are you sure this is normal for friends to do?" Kaiba asked, looking disbelievingly at the blond.

"Of course. I've done it plenty of times before."

"So you sleep on Yuugi's stomach as well? Hm. I almost pity the shrimp…" He commented, staring up the ceiling. Katsuya made a short chuckle.

"Well, no. He'd suffocate." The blond joked. "But me and Honda have slept on each other's stomachs when we had sleepovers."

"Had?"

"Well…I guess we sort of grew out of it."

"So you assault me instead?"

"Yup."

"What a joy…" He said dryly, though not pushing the other away. Who was he kidding? He liked it more than he should.

"Your room is empty…" The blond commented, expecting an explanation. But the brunet remained quiet, not sure what to say to such a statement.

"Why?" Katsuya continued.

"Why not?"

"Don't answer my question with a question!" The blond complained, turning to lie on his back, face upwards instead. Though he was still on the CEO's stomach, Seto felt like he'd been robbed of something and wanted him to turn back. But he restrained himself with a mental snort.

"Why?" He teased, smirking arrogantly.

"Ha. Ha." Jounouchi said sarcastically with a dull voice. "Very funny Kaiba."

"Yes. I thought so too."

"You're the most narcissistic person I've ever met." The blond said with a smile, looking up the ceiling.

"And you're the hungriest person I've ever met." The brunet said with a snort.

"Hey! I'm a growing boy! I need to eat properly to...well, grow properly."

"Sure." He said disbelievingly, making the blond sigh in frustration. A comfortable silence entered, neither of them saying anything. They didn't need to. It felt just as perfect anyway, Kaiba mused. Interesting how things turn out… Before, this would never have happened. Ever. Jounouchi, in his bed? Ha. That would merely be a silly dream. But now…was this progress? Could there actually be a day where he might, in lack of better words, make Jounouchi his? Or is this where it would all end? In friendship?

What was he thinking! He was supposed to fall out of love, not thinking of the best way to establish a relationship! There was surely better potential partners out there, more suited for him. Jounouchi was just…a childish fantasy. And let's not forget, a male. Which wouldn't do. He needed a woman by his side, professional, intelligent, who knows how to eat properly, unlike Jounouchi who simply shove it all in. He needed someone with a graceful appearance and not someone overly emotional. He needed…none of those attributes.

"Kaiba? Want me to tell you your future?" Katsuya asked, tilting his head so he was looking at him. The said brunet narrowed his eyes, but said nothing. His comrade took it as a sign of acceptance and took Seto's closest hand with his two own.

"I'll do it for free as well." He said with a slanted smile. Blue eyes narrowed even more.

"Explain yourself." He demanded.

"I'm going to predict your future by looking at your hand!" The other said enthusiastically.

"I don't believe in that crap."

"Don't care. You're getting your future here, mister! Shut up and listen." He demanded, but with fake strictness. Kaiba obliged, though with a glare, and let his hand be taken by the other. Brown eyes carefully inspected his palm, sometimes running his finger where certain lines went. Chills of pleasure mixed with excitement ran through him, and he became aggravated at these unwanted emotions.

"Hurry up." He muttered, glaring.

"Alright alright, I'm done! Geez, just wanted to capture the mystic atmosphere." The blond defended, wearing a minor glare. "So what do you want to know first?"

"The time you'll leave this mansion."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that…Bastard…!" Jounouchi said, but regained him calm. "We'll take business first then." He said as he looked into his palm once more, appearing to fully concentrate. Seto rolled his eyes and sighed, something the blond chose to ignore.

"Ah. You'll make lots and lots of money."

"What a surprise…"

"And, you'll get a new secretary. She's very smart. But ugly. Sheesh, Kaiba, at least get yourself some eye-candy, or you'll go crazy in that office of yours!"

"Hn."

"Moving on. Hm…I see, I see…Mokuba!" He said dramatically, and Seto raised an eyebrow.

"What about him?"

"He'll get a hole in his teeth. Poor guy. That hurts you know." He said with sympathy.

"That is expected." He said in a bored tone.

"Ooo! I see something interesting! I see me!"

"Really now?" He said in an even more bored tone.

"It says you'll give me lots of money and food for the rest of my life!"

"Hm. No. Don't think so."

"Shut up! The hands never lie!" He said dramatically, though showing he was joking underneath it all.

"Mine obviously do."

"Hm…What's this? Well Kaiba, I think I found your love line here!"

"Fascinating…" Still bored tone, but the blond kept going. Somewhere, deep inside on a subconscious level, the CEO was entertained after all. Not that he knew it.

"Yes. It is. It says…you're love life is complicated."

"It's going quite fine, thank you." He shrugged off, not knowing what else to say. He was supposed to be happy with Arisu, so any other statement had to be untrue.

"No! It's complicated I say!" The blond defended. "Anyhow…I see…I see…Nothing more."

"Good."

"Now you do me." Jounouchi said, extending his hand near the face of the CEO.

"Jounouchi, I don't know how -"

"Me neither. I just made stuff up." He said with a grin. "Come on now." He urged. Seto sighed.

"Fine." He said as he held Jounouchi's palm in his hands, inspecting, not sure what he was looking for. "Now what?"

"Tell me something that will happen in the future."

"You'll get hit by a car." He said dully.

"What!"

"I was supposed to make something up, wasn't I?" He asked, glaring.

"Well, you don't have to go off and kill me you bastard!"

"Who said you died!"

"Oh. I live?"

"Yes. In coma. For the rest of your life." Katsuya glared.

"I want a new future predicament!"

"Fine! You'll win the lottery."

"Really?"

"Yes. But accidentally eat the winning lot. Tough break." The blond growled.

"Well? Something else then?" Katsuya asked, his voice not as enthusiastic as it first was.

"You fail to graduate."

"Gah! Tell me something good instead!"

"Fine. You'll graduate somehow, go to university, and make a ridiculously large amount of friends. You laugh and smile all the time. Happy?"

"…Are we still friends then?" Brown eyes looked curiously into his. He was silent for a while, thinking. Then he opened his mouth and answered, using his normal tone, keeping his blue eyes locked on the palm.

"If you count the fact that you never leave me alone, then yes."

"Good." The blond declared, a small smile.

"So how is my love life then?" Jounouchi continued.

"Horrible. No girl can stand you." He said immediately, not having to think it through.

"Yes they can! I'm very charming you know."

"To whom? Your reflection?" He asked with a smirk, though it was more on the friendly side.

"Shut up!"

"You know what they say: lucky at cards, unlucky in love."

"I have skill, Kaiba! Not just luck."

"Well, then you'll be lucky in love. Nothing to worry about."

"…Good." The blond said after thinking a bit.

"I think I'm done now." The brunet said and let go of the other one's hand. Katsuya pulled it back to him and turned to he laid on his back once more. His head rested peacefully on Kaiba's stomach, going up and down as the brunet breathed calmly. Brown eyes closed, relaxing, and blue eyes took the opportunity to stare. His own head rested on pillows, enabling him to get a better look at Jounouchi than if he would lay down without them. Now he could look down instead of up. That was certainly a lot more comfortable.

He liked the closeness. He liked that the door was locked and no one could accidentally come in and see. He liked seeing Jounouchi's head move up and down depending on his own breathing. And the small, but comforting warmth he got from the other body…he liked that too. And he wanted to just touch him. Stroke his hair, for he had been denied that pleasure too long for his own liking. Didn't he always get what he wanted? It was in his nature. Want. Take. Have. Why should this be different?

He knew the answer. That what he wanted could not be. But seeing as how close they've already been, it wouldn't hurt to stroke, just a little. His left hand lifted itself at the thought, slowly approaching the head on his stomach who was relaxing, completely unaware of his intentions. Deciding not to be a coward, he gave in, letting his fingers slowly come in contact with both skin and hair, keeping to the side of Jounouchi's face. Brown eyes opened instantly, but relaxed just the same, and closed again, seeing as it was only the brunet. Having been given this permission, he caressed with no guilt. His hair felt so soft. A lot more than he had thought. Or was it all in his head, did he only make up a flattering description in his own mind to please himself? He ran his fingers through the blond hair slowly, and Katsuya made a small moan.

"That feels good…" He mumbled, adjusting his head so the CEO could repeat the process, which he gladly did, wearing a smirk. His fingertips brushed over Jounouchi's hair teasingly, and he enjoyed every minute of it. The blond inched himself upwards, his eyes still closed. A silent demand of never stopping.

Seto's arm rested on Jounouchi's chest as his hand inspected every inch of the blonds' head. Except the face. His touch was slow and gentle, much to his own surprise. But he didn't want to ruin anything, and kept on gently stroking, hearing a soft moan every now and then. It felt so foreign, what he was experiencing. But he embraced it nonetheless, too weak to resist. His caresses slowed down, and his thumb ended up on the cheekbone, gently massaging. His fingers then trailed away, much to the disapproval of the other, who made a weak grunt. With a smirk, he chose to ignore that, and spread his fingers slightly, letting the blond mass come between them as he parked his hand. He had decided that it was enough now. He had done what he wanted. The two rested there in silence for a while, Jounouchi on his chest after having curled up, and the CEO with his hand on him. He suddenly wondered what Mokuba would say if he saw him like this. Would he be disgusted? Confused?

"What time is it?" The blond mumbled, the corner of his lips pressed on the CEO's chest. The brunet turned his head to look at his digital bed clock.

"Eight thirty."

"Oh."

"Do you want to go home?" He asked, trying to sound as if he really didn't give a damn.

"Not really. Do you want me to?" Kaiba was silent, thinking of a way to respond without sounding too obvious.

"I wouldn't mind having you stay a while longer." He declared murmuring.

"Then…I'll stay." He decided, not moving an inch. Seto was still as well, though his hand had trailed down to the neck area, holding securely so he wouldn't go. Jounouchi had his arm stretched over the brunet, his hand holding onto Seto's right arm, a precaution as well. They weren't quite sure where they had each other. But Kaiba put the worry aside. Jounouchi is perhaps too dumb to notice. And everything they do could be explained away by the word friendship. He felt calm inside, and rested his eyes, feeling fingers gently stroke his arm.

Ten minutes later the body over him started to move, stretching. Well, he had gone rather stiff as well. Katsuya brought himself up to a sitting position, extending his arms into air, yawning. The CEO put his elbows down and lifted himself up a bit, having them as a support as he stared in front of him at nothing in particular. Simultaneously did their gaze meet, and the blond grinned mischievously. Kaiba raised an eyebrow, wondering what the hell he was on about. In less than a second had the other moved on top of him, sitting over his hips and pushed him down. His blue eyes widened, too shocked to push him away. Brown eyes wasted no time to look at that, and focused on the target instead. He put both his hands to Seto's waist as he laughed maniacally.

"Feel my wrath!" He joked out in-between laughs as he started to viciously tickle the man under him. Seto stared up at the mood-swinging idiot, feeling a bit out of it. What the hell was going on? But as he saw that Katsuya was trying to tickle him, he smirked.

"W-what?" The blond stuttered, seeing no surrendering effect, no unstoppable laughter escaping from Seto's mouth. Instead there was only a dangerous smirk, showing he was up to no good as well.

"Shit!" He said as he pulled up Kaiba's shirt, enabling him to tickle against skin, increasing the chances of having Seto laugh. But no such thing. The CEO didn't even chuckle. Kaiba forcefully grabbed a hold of the wrists with his hands, seeing a desperate look in those brown eyes. With almost no effort did he push the other down on the bed, and he seated himself on top of him, again, much like how he had done it previously.

"Now Jounouchi, if you wanted to touch me, you could've just said so." He teased as he looked down at his victim. Brown eyes glared.

"Ha. Ha. I'm not a pervert, you know!" He defended. "And I didn't do that to touch you! I just wondered how it sounds when you laugh like a girl!"

"Well, you'll never find out. I never laugh like one…unlike some people."

"Hey! I have a manly laugh, thank you very much!" Seto smirked, but didn't object.

"Are you going to kick my ass soon? Otherwise I wouldn't mind if you got off me." Katsuya asked rudely, disappointed that his plan hadn't worked, and he was currently sulking.

"I have a question." Kaiba stated.

"Well, can't I sit up?"

"No."

"Why!"

"You might not answer."

"What makes you think I'd do that now then!"

"Because I won't let go otherwise."

"Ask it then." The blond said with a sigh, turning his head to his left, avoiding blue eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Mokuba invited me, duh!"

"No. I mean at all. Why do you follow me? Why did you go to the zoo?"

"I told you, Honda wanted to go there."

"Don't lie."

"…"

"Why did you go to the zoo?" He tried again. The man under him appeared troubled.

"I…I…Honestly?"

"Yes."

"I have no clue." He said, sincerity in his eyes as he stared up.

"What do you mean you have no clue! Why do you do things without knowing!"

"I just wanted to!"

"You're hopeless." He muttered, unsatisfied with the answer.

"Oh really? Well, tell me why you don't push me away then! Huh? Not the easiest thing to answer, is it!" Yes it was. He knew exactly why he couldn't push the other away. Not that he could tell him that. He sighed and let go off Jounouchi's wrists and sat up, though still over Jounouchi. But he rested on his legs instead of the body under him, so Jounouchi could easily move away. The blond pushed himself up with his elbows, looking curiously at the man over him, who was currently staring into space. Kaiba stared at the wall, not sure what to do with himself. Had he really hoped for something as stupid as romantic feelings to guide Jounouchi to him? He had gone pathetic to even want to know.

Jounouchi drew his legs to him so he was finally free. Then he sat on his knees, just like the CEO, and inched forward. His hand ran through the brown hair, and Kaiba instantly locked gaze with him.

"I'll let you know when I figure out, alright?" Jounouchi assured with a hint of a smile. Seto snorted.

"Whatever." Seto dismissed, and the blond sighed. He could feel two hands on his shoulders and soon Jounouchi's forehead was pressed against his chest. He narrowed his eyes in confusion. This was certainly a peculiar gesture. Not that he was ever really normal in his behaviour to begin with…

"What the hell are you doing now?" He asked, hinting at anger. His arms continued to hang by his sides as he didn't make an attempt to push the other away. He never really did.

"What feels right." He murmured against his chest. Seto's eyes narrowed, not understanding. But he kept quiet, seeing where it would lead. Katsuya slowly tilted his head upwards, making his brown eyes visible to the blue ones. He stared up with an expression the CEO could not read, making him feel uneasy. Slowly did Jounouchi increase his height, coming closer to his face. His eyes widened, and he felt his ability to move had been gone, as well breathing properly. His pulse pumped quickly, a million different scenarios occurring in his mind, running through pros and cons of a kiss at this exact moment. His lips were not too far away… And when they finally were on the same height, Jounouchi did indeed inch forward his face, and the brunet was too stiff to move. All went in slow-motion. Katsuya's cheek brushed past his as he rested his blond head against the brunet's. Seto narrowed his eyes in confusion. What? He was positive there would be a kiss. Especially the way the blond had moved closer indicated of that. Dammit now he just got exited for nothing!

The lips against his ear still kept him stiff, and he felt they were going to start to talk. Warm breath against his otherwise cold ear almost made him gasp, or breathe unsteadily. But he refused to appear weak. Suddenly, Jounouchi's familiar voice caught his interest as he began to speak.

"You smell good." The blond whispered in a voice too suggestive for his own good, sending chills of pleasure down his spine. And that was it for the brunet. Blood rushed to groin, awakening a certain body part he had preferred would stay out of this. His eyes widened instantly, and in less than a second had he gone through different solutions on how to solve this. Though, since it was still rising, and with no indication of calming down, he settled for the first option that came in mind. He pushed the blond forcefully away so he ended up on the floor with a loud thud.

"And you stink like those filthy goats!" He yelled, trying to make up an excuse as he shot out of bed and tried to walk in a composed and calm manner to his cabinet, taking out the biggest towel possible. He was sure he heard Jounouchi growl and swear at him, but he was too busy trying to take the towel out so he could hide behind it. Silently, he thanked whatever man that designed his house, that he had a bathroom connected to his bedroom.

"Dammit what is wrong with you Kaiba!" The blond asked, getting up on his feet and walking over with a glare.

"You stink. And now your filthy goat germs are all over me. I have to shower." The brunet said, appearing at the door, his towel in front of his groin.

"What!"

"Out!" He ordered with deadly cold eyes. "Don't make me repeat myself!"

"Kaiba, you're just being silly. If I did something -"

"Stop talking and start moving, idiot!" Why didn't he follow orders! He needed a cold shower. Now! And the idiot wasn't helping… Not that he ever was. He used his free hand to push the other forward to the door, walking behind to assure he did as told.

"Fuck, just calm down!" The blond said, not really understanding. They reached the door, and with a glare, Jounouchi reluctantly opened it.

"I won't go until you tell me the real reason!"

"I need to shower -"

"Now!"

"Go to the kitchen and eat! Take whatever you want! Eat the damn plates if you want! Then go play with my brother!" He demanded, having a hard time appearing threatening while having a monster growing down his pants.

"Kaiba, I think we should talk about why -" More he couldn't say. The brunet got too annoyed and pushed him out, closing and locking the door quickly. He then relaxed a bit and looked down on his crouch, frowning, before walking to his bathroom. He really needed a cold shower… The scowl on his face seemed to be constant as he made no sign of changing. He swiftly threw off his clothes, stripping naked and walked inside the shower before turning the water on.

XxxX

He was still annoyed, even if he had gotten his arousal down. The scowl was still there as he glared at the shirt he was currently putting on. This whole love thing was getting on his nerves. It wasn't convenient nor desired by him. Curse his body for being against him.

Too irritated too care, he didn't dry his hair completely, still letting it be somewhat wet. Now…he really needed coffee. Hopefully Jounouchi would still be there, and he could…well, not say he's sorry but. Perhaps give a better explanation. Or something. Who cares! He'll think straight again with that coffee in his hand.

He walked in his normal pace down the stairs, though still looking bitter. Never had his body reacted to Jounouchi this way before. It was certainly not appreciated. And as if to taunt him even more, there was nothing he could do about it.

He stopped walking once he was in the doorway to the kitchen, his hands in his pockets. Jounouchi sat with his back turned towards him in the middle of the room, eating. He smirked fondly.

"Go away." Katsuya muttered bitterly, taking another chew.

"Hmpf. I live here you know." Seto stated as he stopped gazing and walked over to the coffeemaker.

"Kaiba!" Jounouchi said, shocked, his eyes widened. Obviously he hadn't been expecting him.

"You really did take a shower." He said, staring at him.

"Of course."

"I…I thought you…Nah, it doesn't matter." He said with a small smile. "Fuck! Then I really do stink!" He almost shouted and looked down at his shirt. His hands grabbed a hold of the bottom part and brought it up to his nose, so he could smell. All this causing his stomach to be visible to the brunet. And it was at that moment the CEO decided that Jounouchi's stomach was the sexiest he'd ever seen. It was well-built, had a nice complexion, and simply breath taking… Dammit…! He was turning into a love sick girl!

Feeling infuriated with himself, he turned his head back to the coffeemaker, wishing it would heat up faster. Though his glare didn't improve the pace of the process, it certainly helped him calm himself.

"But I can't smell anything…" The blond said, confused.

"Well, I have a better sense of smell then." Seto said, his back turned toward the blond.

"…Still. You didn't have to push me down from the bed." He said, sadness in his voice.

"I acted irrationally. That was not my intention." He said, taking out a cup from a cupboard.

"Okay." Jounouchi said, wearing a small smile. "Oh! Shit! Um…Kaiba?"

"Yes?" He asked, his back still turned, trying to concentrate on glaring at the coffeemaker.

"Um…I was sort of mad at you…"

"Mhm?"

"So I…ate a lot of stuff…"

"Who cares. I told you that you could eat."

"Yeah…but I threw some food down the trash as well…" He said, taking up his arms as if anticipating on getting hit. Seto slowly turned around.

"Stop your pathetic behaviour." He ordered, seeing the other practically cower in fear. "Food doesn't mean much to me. I can buy more."

"I don't usually throw away food. I just…I was just mad." The blond continued, staring at his food.

"I really don't care."

"So we're cool?"

"I suppose." Seto said with a shrug. The blond smiled, and started to eat once more.

A few minutes later the coffee was done, much to Seto's liking. He poured himself a cup of the hot liquid and took a hold of it, walking to the table where the blond was currently sitting.

"Come! Sit here!" Katsuya said while chewing, a fairly disgusting sight, and pointed at the chair next to him. Deciding it would mean he would see less of his face that way, he seated himself there.

"Your behaviour reminds me of a person in kindergarden." He said dryly, gracefully taking a sip from his cup.

"Ha. And you say I complain a lot." He stated amusedly, taking the last remaining of his dish in front of him, which appeared to be fish. "You smell even better now." He stated after being finished with his eating, and the brunet widened his eyes once more. Luckily, he didn't spill his cup or anything alike.

"Well, I did take a shower…"

"Your hair looks weird. I've never really seen it wet before." He said, staring thoughtfully at the man beside him, and he turned in his seat to get a better and more comfortable position.

"It's just hair…" He said, trying to shrug it off. This subject felt slightly uncomfortable.

"Yes, but when it comes to you everything is so damn perfect all the time." He said in a absentminded voice, still staring.

"Hm." He said as he took another sip of coffee. The blond raised his hand and reached for the brown hair, running his fingers through it. Seto froze, spitting out his coffee, with no sound of course.
"I like it like this…" The blond stated, still looking with a weird fascination on the CEO's hair.

"Pity. Because you'll never see it like this again." He said, drinking his coffee once more, acting as if nothing bothered him. When in truth, he loved the touch. Katsuya stroke his hair once last time before retreating his hand back to his side and made a faint smile.

"I don't care. Besides, if I wanted your hair to look like that, I'll fix it myself." He stated with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Jounouchi, I swear, if you throw water at me at any public place, you will not be able to walk properly for a month." Kaiba said calmly, looking at the other with an arrogant look.

"Oh please! I could so out-run you!"

"Nah, I don't think so." A new voice stated, making them both turn around, though Seto did it more calmly, already knowing it was his brother.

"Shit Mokuba! Where'd you come from?" Jounouchi asked.

"Oh, I've been here a while." Mokuba replied, smirking.

"Well, take a seat kid! There's still some food left…I think." He said, his voice trailing off at the end. Seto snorted.

"Is it okay if I do?" The younger one asked his older brother, who raised an eyebrow.

"You live here as well. You have all the right to be here." He stated.

"Just didn't want to interrupt anything." Mokuba said with a shrug while walking to the freezer, looking to find anything edible in his taste.

"So where's Honda?" Jounouchi asked, walking to the freezer as well. Obviously he was going to eat more. As if that could even be possible at this point.

"He's still up there, waiting for me. I told him I'd fetch some sodas. But I think I'm going to stay here for a while. He'll figure it out eventually." He said with a shrug, taking out a soda and a banana. Peculiar combination. Seto eyed his brother at the choice, but remained to himself, not saying anything. At least the banana was healthy. But it would still be all vegetarian tomorrow. There needs to be balance.

Mokuba sat down in front of his brother and Katsuya was soon done, having loaded everything from oranges to chili sauce, and seated himself beside Seto once more, who looked disapprovingly at the blond.

"You just ate."

"Stop telling me that! You always say stuff like that. If you keep complaining, I'm turning anorexic or bulimic or whatever! And I'll blame it on you too because you make so damn self-conscious!"

"Hmpf."

"Does your brother always go on and on whenever you eat too?" The blond asked the raven-haired male.

"Nope. Unless it's candy."

"What? Why are you giving me the special treatment!" He said, looking angrily at the man beside him.

"I do what I want. Besides, when you die from an overfull stomach, I will be proven right."

"How sweet, he does care." The blond said sarcastically, rolling his eyes, making Mokuba chuckle.

"Though I won't come to the funeral." Seto continued, taking another sip.

"What? I'm dead! You'll march over to my funeral if it's the last thing you'll ever do!" The blond said, offended. The brunet smirked teasingly, showing he was merely playing around. Katsuya growled and muttered an audible "Asshole." while glaring.

"So anyway!" Katsuya said, in a much better mood. "How is school? Got yourself any girl?" He asked Mokuba.

"Uh…school is good. Very good. Good grades. All is good. Really good." He said, appearing nervous. Seto watched his brother sceptically, while Jounouchi wondered what the hell was wrong with him. Everyone was silent for a while, before Kaiba decided to speak up.

"Who's the girl?" Kaiba asked, taking another sip.

"Heh. Was it that obvious?"

"Yes. Very."

"Well…she's not my girl…I just…I like her." He said, fidgeting in his chair. Katsuya smiled.

"Oh how sweet! He's got his first crush!" He stated, giving Seto a proud slap on his shoulder, smiling brightly to the boy. "I say go for it!"

"Who is this girl? Anyone I know of? Is she rich? Poor? Can she handle herself in crisis? How about her grades?" Seto questioned, his face not having any trace of a smile unlike his companion.

"She's smart." The younger started out. "She'd be in the top of the class if it wasn't for me."

"Hm. Acceptable."

"And she's…I don't know if she's rich or poor."

"What if she'll only be after your money?"

"She's not like that!" Mokuba protested, and Seto narrowed his eyes.

"Kaiba, listen to the kid! He knows her better than you!" Katsuya urged. Seto made a mental sigh.

"Fine. So she's not after our money. Then tell me your reasoning as to why you want to date her." He said calmly.

"But Seto, I haven't asked her out yet!"

"I know. I'm glad I found out just in time." He said calmly, acting as if this was a business matter. He found himself receiving a hit on his head all of a sudden, taking him by surprise.

"Dammit Kaiba, stop being such an annoying snob!"

"Hypocrite. When your sister said she had a boyfriend, you took it worse than me."

"That's different! She's a girl!"

"Well, he's Mokuba!"

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" The said raven-haired boy asked, offended.

"Just that he cares, that's all." The blond said before turning back to the brunet to continue the argument.

"And it's not like Mokuba could get pregnant either! But Shizuka can!"

"Hmpf. Do you realize what danger my brother could suffer from a marriage? He could be assassinated, just so she'd get his money."

"Whoa! Who said marriage!" Mokuba asked, eyes wide.

"Mokuba? Could you go out for a sec? I need to talk to your brother about something." Jounouchi stated, but looking at the brunet with narrowed eyes.

"Sure. Just don't take forever." He said, grabbing his soda and walked out.

"What is it now?" Seto asked with folded arms.

"…You're not going to lose him, Kaiba." Katsuya said in a calm voice, looking at him with comforting brown eyes. "And he's just in love."

"He's too young."

"No, he's not. You just can't let him go."

"Hmpf."

"And you think some girl can just mess with his head without him knowing? Ha! He's a Kaiba after all! He's got brains too." He said reassuringly, and Seto made a small smirk, looking at his empty cup.

"And he said he hadn't even thought of asking her out! When something's going to happen, if it ever will, he'll tell you. I'm sure of it." Blue eyes turned and looked into brown ones, appearing cold. Katsuya smiled.

"Hey kid! Get your butt in here!" Jounouchi bellowed, and Mokuba turned up the second after, and seated himself the same place as before, watching his brother. Anticipating what would come next. Jounouchi appeared more calm, eating some bread with meat, not really interested in the conversation it seemed.

"I have decided that you may date her -" Seto started out, and Mokuba instantly grew a large smile on his lips. "Under certain conditions, of course." He continued, and the smile faded back.

"First, I want a file on her." He declared, where Jounouchi had a fit of coughs, saying "Stalker." in between. Luckily, he only received a glare. "And you will not start doing drugs, smoke, or anything alike, just to gain her attention."

"Geez Seto! What do you take me for?"

"And if you're thinking about marriage, I want you to consult with me first."

"Seto! I'm only thirteen!" Mokuba said with wide eyes.

"Yes, but that promise goes through all your life."

"What? Even when I'm fifty I have to ask you first?"

"Yes."

"Just accept, kid. You can make him change the rule later." Katsuya said with a wink. Kaiba glared at the man beside him, and accidentally pushed him down from the chair.

"Aaaah!" The blond cried out before landing on the floor. "Damn you, Kaiba!" He said, his fist clenched, and shaking towards the brunet.

"What do you say, Mokuba?" Seto asked, as if nothing had happened.

"Alright." His younger brother agreed, smiling. The brunet gave a faint smile back. Jounouchi crawled back to his chair, glaring at the CEO.

"Don't worry Seto. I haven't really planned on asking her out."

"Asking who out?" Honda said, walking into the room.

"Hey Honda!" Jounouchi said, smiling. "Take a seat. We've got food!"

"And of course, I'm the last to know." He said, seating himself next to Mokuba. "So you two managed to get out of the bedroom, I see." He said, smirking. But then something caught his attention. "Hey, why's Kaiba's hair wet?"

"The neat freak took a shower." Katsuya stated, snorting.

"Why?" Mokuba asked, looking confused. Seto appeared calm, when he was really panicking inside. So, he decided to avoid the subject all together, and went to refill his cup.

"Uh…okay." Honda said, scratching his head.

A few minutes later the group decided it was time for the guests to head home, and they walked to the hall to say their goodbyes, even if the CEO didn't want to.

"You can take our limo." Mokuba offered, holding tightly to his brother's hand so he wouldn't escape.

"Sweet!" Honda and Jounouchi said simultaneously, giving each other a high five.

"Hmpf. If I find anything wrong with it tomorrow, I'll sue." Seto said with a cold glare, instantly stopping their celebration.

"Don't mind him, I'm sure you won't break anything." Mokuba assured.

"Well…I guess, I'll see you on Monday." Jounouchi said to Kaiba, who nodded. "See you later kid. Thanks for inviting us."

"Yeah, it was quite fun." Honda agreed.

"No problem. Have a safe trip. Bye!" He said when they walked out, giving them a faint a wave. A few seconds later they stood still in the hall, Mokuba still holding his brother's hand, both staring at the closed door.

"You like him a lot, don't you?" He asked innocently, looking up at his older brother. Kaiba froze, keeping his eyes on the door.

"Hmpf."

"I've never seen you have a friend before. You must really like him."

"He's bearable." Mokuba smirked at his brother.

"I'm happy for you."

"Don't be. It's nothing of value."

"So you're in denial now?"

"Hn. Of course not."

"…"

"It's late. You should go to bed." Seto said, releasing himself from his brother's grip.

"How about you?"

"I have to clean up the kitchen after that hungry idiot. Go to bed now. Brush your teeth first." He said as he disappeared into the kitchen, removing the plates one by one.

XxxX

He had been awake the whole night. Thinking. Evaluating.

His Saturday with Mokuba had been very much appreciated. He had needed some time to just relax, and his brother wanted to play with him. Of course, he had won whenever they played against each other, but his brother didn't seem to feel any less happy because of that. During the whole day he had never even thought of Jounouchi, simply focusing on his brother and the many games they used to waste their time. But when night came…the blond wouldn't leave his mind.

They had been too close. Dangerously close. Dammit, he even got aroused! It had to be stopped.

He looked over at his digital clock. 6:45. Better get up and have some breakfast.

And it was at that moment, while rising up, that he got his most brilliant idea ever to solve his petty problem. He smirked at himself, at his genius mind, as he immediately took out his laptop and began searching. An hour later, he was done, satisfied. He rose up from his desk and put on some clothes before walking down the stairs to the kitchen to meet his brother. For his brother was going to know what he planned.

"Good morning Seto!" His brother said in a cheerful voice, making pancakes. The table was already set, and he sat down at the closest chair. He remained quiet for a while, thinking of which way to say it the best. Then, eventually, he simply said it.

"Mokuba, how do you feel about moving?"

To Be Continued...

Words: 15 515
Dammit! -hits myself- These hands are uncontrollable!

So in this chapter some major stuff happened. I mean, come on! Seto got bloody horny! That doesn't happen everyday, does it? (well, in some stories it does) And now he wants to move away -sigh- Ignorant foolish love-sick CEO. If you think the decision was OOC, just wait until next chapter, where it will explained. If you are not satisfied THEN, then you're free to complain all you want. Poor Jounouchi. How will he take the news? ... -evil laughter-

And if you're dissapointed or thinking it was bad that Seto finally gave in to some degree, then I'm sorry. I personally think I rushed it too, but we have to progress in the story here. Things are happening now. Bear with me (or flame me and stop reading...whichever would do).
