Chapter 2: what's wrong?

Jou felt a hand on his cheek brushing his tears aside, he leaned into the caress slightly and his eyes fell shut.

"What's wrong Jonouchi?"

Jou sensed Kaiba moving close. His breath caught in his throat as he felt Kaiba's breath on his face.

"Jonouchi!" Yugi's voice called from somewhere in the hall

Jou gave Kaiba a reassuring and slightly apologetic smile before he grabbed the front of the other boy's shirt just as the door opened to reveal Yugi and Honda.

"Don't call me a mutt, rich boy!" Kaiba caught on quickly. He shoved Jou away a little harder than he anticipated, Jou went stumbling off his chair knocking in down with him. The chair hit Jou in the stomach and Kaiba inwardly winced though his outward appearance stayed impassive.

"Stay on the floor where you belong, Mutt" Kaiba kept up the charade despite his worry for the boy who was getting to a sitting position on the floor. He turned and came face to face with the angry eyes of Honda.

"Kaiba, you bastard!" the said 'bastard' rolled his eyes.

"If only you were even half as scary as you are pathetic, I might be intimidated."

Jou had to resist the urge to snicker masking it with a grimace that he shot at the CEO as he received his chair from it's fallen place on the floor. He turned back to his friends and pretended to be disgusted with the CEO. He and Kaiba shared a secret smile and returned to their business.

Jou didn't want to go home, he couldn't do that again; but, if he didn't go then… Jou shuddered pulling his jacket around his body, which didn't really help, as it was obscurely thin.

Jou stopped before he got out of the gate, glancing around to check there was no one coming. When he was sure he dropped to the floor and held his head in his hands sobs and chocking noises were emitted form the boy.

"Katsuya…?" Kaiba noticed that the boy went rigid as his name was called; wait, were his shoulders shacking? "What's the matter?" there was a few seconds of shuffling the boy on the floor seemed to be rubbing his face. He turned to face Kaiba with a bright smile.

"I fell." Jou let out a struggled laugh that was quickly followed by his smile dropping in a split second and a tear escaping his eye. "I-I have to go, bye." Jou shot up and started to run from Kaiba, he wouldn't let him see him like this. However the other boy's legs were longer and he quickly caught up.

Kaiba held the boys arm fast and spun him around so he could see Jou's eyes, they were puffy and the remnants of tears stained his tanned cheeks. Like little white scratch marks. Kaiba traced one of the scratches with his finger. Kaiba wanted to help this boy, wanted to know what made him cry. But most of all he wanted Jou, just because he was him.

"Jou, come home with me."
