Dogs Do The Silliest Things, by Dani Wheeler-Kaiba

Dedicated to whatever forces led me to first watch Yu-Gi-Oh, and the first line to all my friends who agree with my outlook on trigonometry.

Disclaimer: Much as I wish the world of Yu-Gi-Oh was mine, that will only ever be a wish. In other words, it's not mine. Unfortunately.

Summary: SetoxJou. That should say it all. What started as a usual day of hatred between Seto Kaiba and Katsuya Jounouchi was completely turned around. Maybe it was just a spur of the moment thing, or maybe it was something more. I don't know as much about Yu-Gi-Oh as I'd like to, so please forgive any little mistakes I make.

Ch. 1: The First Day of Jou

Maths sucked, decided Jou. Who cared about trigo-whatever anyway? It wasn't going to be of any use in the future. He sure wasn't going to be a mathematician, so why couldn't he drop this stupid subject?

"Mr. Jounouchi?"

"Wa?" was his gormless reply. His friend Yugi groaned.

"Would you mind telling us the answer?" Jou jumped back into reality. He had been asked a question. He was in maths. Time to take a guess.

"Uh…sixteen?"

The tall boy in front of him gave a false cough, that undoubtedly concealed a snicker. Yeah, laugh it up, Kaiba, Jou thought bitterly. The teacher looked less than impressed.

"Pay attention, Mr. Jounouchi, or it will be detention. Last warning."

Jou glared at Seto Kaiba's back, as if it was his fault. It didn't help that Kaiba correctly answered the question that Jou had gotten wrong only seconds ago.

Damn pretty-boy Kaiba. Eighteen and already CEO of his own multi-national company. Not to mention the world's best chess player and second-best duellist in the world. And certainly not to mention super-popular with the girls. Well, they found him cute and mysterious, despite his lack of friends and a life in general. One of his stupid fan girls was eyeing him right now. As if Kaiba cared. Jou doubted the guy in front of him would ever have a girlfriend. He was too obsessed with himself, and his money. No one in their right mind would want to date that moneybags.

"Mr. Jounouchi?"

Oh, crap. Inattentiveness strikes again. Jou quickly looked at the blackboard to find out what the question was. He saw a diagram.

"Er…a triangle?"

This time Kaiba actually turned around for the sole purpose of rolling his eyes at Jou. Jou clenched his fists and would have liked nothing more than to pummel that blue-eyed jerk into the ground.

The teacher sighed. "Detention after school, Katsuya. I did warn you."

Jou groaned. Detention again! It was all Kaiba's fault. Kinda.

After school detention was not fun. Cleaning the storeroom seldom was. And the maths sensei talking to him the whole time only made it worse.

"What were you thinking about during class, Katsuya? You were certainly very distracted today."

Jou imagined his response. "Well first I was thinkin' about how much I hate maths, then I was thinkin' about how much I wanted to pound Kaiba." Yeah, right. Instead he lied. "I was just, er – thinkin' about lunch." With Jou, this was highly believable. At 4:15, he was free to go, leaving him alone to think about how this whole thing was Kaiba's fault. Damn moneybags.

It was the middle of the day, and Jou was wandering through an otherwise deserted park. Or at least he thought it was deserted.

"Enjoying yourself, mutt?" a cold voice behind him said. He didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Mutt. Only a certain blue-eyed jerk called him that. He turned around anyway.

"What're ya doing, following me, Kaiba?" For Kaiba, all 143 pounds and 6 feet 1 inch of him, were indeed standing there, in his usual outfit minus the white trenchcoat.

Kaiba gave a slight, oh very slight smile. "Who said I was following you?"

"Then what were ya doing?"

He walked a little towards Jou, smirking again. "Following you."

Jou blinked, a little confused. Kaiba and his stupid mind games. "What do ya want then, moneybags?"

Kaiba took another step forward. "What do I want, mutt?" Jou nodded, ignoring the name, as usual; he wanted to take a step back but found himself glued to the spot. Kaiba was closer than their usual metre proximity, which was more than slightly disconcerting since they were sworn enemies.

He took yet another step. "You really want to know?" he whispered. There was no need to talk loudly; Jou was so close he could feel Kaiba's breath on his face. Yet for some reason, the urge to pull away had left him completely.

Their eyes met, cobalt blue facing honey brown. Almost close enough to touch. Then Kaiba whispered, "I want you," before his lips met Jou's in a soft, passionate kiss. And Jou didn't pull away.

Then he woke up.

He was sweating profusely, clasping a hand over his mouth to make sure dream-Kaiba hadn't done any lasting damage. When finally satisfied he was safe, he muttered, "What the hell was that?"

All right, first chapter complete! I know the whole dream thing is overused, but it fits in with SetoxJou so perfectly…please review! You know if you read this far you want to!
