A/N- ...AH! So I HAVE returned. And, I'd like to say that I've grown a LITTLE more mature than I have since last year.
...Yeah, I'd LIKE to say.
Erm... Sorry for the REALLY long wait for the next chapter. I feel so guilty, honestly. But eventually, after a YEAR later, it just kept bugging me and bugging me, until finally I just decided to sit down and just... WRITE. But it doesn't even FEEL like a year, honest! I apologize!
...I hope I didn't lose any readers in the process...
...Please regard my imcompetence kindly.

SUMMARY: Domino High School's been spreading rumors that the wealthy yet coldhearted CEO otherwise known as Seto Kaiba is into MEN! So how far will the boy go just to prove he isn't, even hiring his blonde rival, the "Pup", otherwise known as Katsuya Jounouchi?
-
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN NADA. If I did own Yuugiou though, then the only thing it would be filled with would be Opposite of Cold guys making out instead of dueling, so...
-
At this moment, as far as Kaiba Seto knew, everyone put on this earth was out to get him.
The teenage brunette glared intently at the blank computer screen in front of him, his face forever fixated in an irritated scowl, an occasional growl escaping his mouth.
There was no doubt that the said male was, needless to say, annoyed to the point of homicide.
...You would be annoyed off too if everyone in the world thought you were homosexual, even your Executive Business Partners.
He didn't even WANT to know how "Japan's Daily News" got a hold of "The Domino Express" and slowly spread the erroneous rumor all across the country.
It was bad enough that as soon as he walked through the doors of "Kaiba Corp." that the whispers from his employees weren't as discreet as they willed it to be, and it was bad enough that, because of that, half of the employees were now jobless, but having the senseless gossip plastered all over every newsstand in Japan?
The teenager grumbled to himself, standing up from his desk, not even bothering to turn off his computer screen as he started to pace around in his office, his eyebrows scrunched tightly together in one aggravated line. It was bad enough that Kaiba Corp's Stocks started going down ever since the public had found out about his so-called "coming out of the closet", but because of that, other companies had refused to continue to provide him with Initial Production Commerce, in fear that the teenage CEO would start "hitting on them".
To make it worse, he had just declined the only person who was willing to help lessen the rumors about his "interest" in the same sex, not only rudely, but by even punching said person in the face.
...He didn't even remember the last time he made someone's nose bleed that hard.
Kaiba ran his hand through his chocolate-brown hair, now contemplating different ways to throw oneself out a window, when a loud beeping noise from his intercom called him back to his desk.
"...WHAT?" The frustrated male screamed into the phone, not even bothering to recompose himself. After all, when Seto was pissed, he was PISSED.
"E-Erm..." The startled secretary on the other line whimpered quietly, her voice quivering in fear. "Th-There's someone here to see you... He says his name is... J-Jounouchi Katsuya?"
Seto raised an irritated eyebrow at the phone, his eyes narrowing coldly.
"...Send the mutt away," Kaiba stated bluntly.
"...I HEARD THAT, YOU RICH-BOY BASTARD!" Katsuya's loud voice rang through the intercom, causing the older teenager to sigh angrily. "...WHAT, ARE YOU JUST THAT GAY ENOUGH TO NOT EVEN FACE ME LIKE A MAN! I'M GOING TO GET YOU BACK FOR PUNCHING ME IN THE FACE, YOU SICK, SON OF A---"
Seto growled at the phone. "Fine! Send the goddamn puppy up, so that he can finally shut up!" The male shouted into the phone, about to pound his $300,000 desk through the floor, in hopes it would crash through and give the mutt a horrifying concussion.
...He REALLY didn't need this right now.
-
"H-He says you can go up now..." The red-haired female glanced up at the fuming blonde, her hands shaking as she buzzed the teenage boy into the elevators.
Jounouchi sighed heavily to himself, rubbing his right eye where a violent blue mark was now throbbing horribly. The blonde scratched his throat, blatantly thinking of different ways to kill someone by merely screaming blindly at them.
And Anzu had said he liked that bastard. After what he had done to him! Punching him in the face without any explanation, just because Katsuya tickled the bastard? Oh yes, this was revenge. Revenge for all the times Kaiba had called him a mutt, revenge for turning him down on HIS own request to help the CEO be more of a man, heck, for just being... Kaiba. Jounouchi did not understand how the world was still able to work when a person like Mr. "Rich Boy" Kaiba was still alive.
The blonde boy grumbled, leaning against the metal walls of the slowly-moving shaft. Kaiba didn't have to be so mean about turning him down.
"Stupid Kaiba…" Katsuya mumbled under his breath, feeling a twang of pain in his voice.
The elevator gradually came to an abrupt stop, the doors sliding open, revealing a wide, spacious hallway. Katsuya slowly walked out, a frown on his face.
...Kaiba was going to get what he deserved.
-
Three violent pounds on his door, and Seto knew it was pointless to just hire a hit man to shoot the angry blonde outside his door.
"OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR, MONEYBAGS!"
The wooden door slowly opened, revealing a red-faced Katsuya with a growl on his face, a black eye covering the right side of his face. The older brunette automatically narrowed his eyes at the blonde.
"...What do you want, mutt?"
"...Shut up!" Katsuya strode over to Seto's desk, slamming his fist into the table, his honey-brown eyes glaring at cold, impassive blue hues. "...You are a JERK, you know that! I mean, how DARE you refuse my help when it was YOU who asked in the first place, and second, why in the fuck did you punch me?" The blonde paused to take in long a breath. "...I knew you were the lowest of the low, Kaiba, but now I actually have PROOF that you are! I guess you don't even CARE that your company is at stake, since now everyone in the whole world KNOWS you're gay----"
"I am NOT gay, you goddamn mutt," Kaiba muttered, folding his arms. "And, please shut up, you're getting spit all over my desk."
"Why, you...!"
Kaiba stood up from his current seat behind his desk, refusing to look away from the blonde. "...And how dare YOU just decide to come up here and spray all your rabies-filled spit all over me!"
Katsuya narrowed his eyes. "...If YOU didn't turn me down in the process."
"...Why are you so hung up on this! So I turned you down, so what?"
"Because you REALLY need my help, you son of a bitch...! Unless you want to be known as a 'queer' for the rest of your life!"
"Why do you want to help me? I already told you, I don't need your goddamn help!"
"..." The blonde bit his lip, avoiding Kaiba's now angry, blue eyes. Katsuya's eyebrows furrowed, a pink hue on his cheeks.
"You asked me first, jerk."
It was a pathetic response, Katsuya knew. But inside his head, he knew that it was the truth. Kaiba would never sacrifice his pride for anything else. The blonde bit his lip in angry anticipation, silently cursing the now awkward silence between the two boys. The familiar, excited squirm found its way back into Katsuya's near-empty stomach, and Jounouchi gulped quietly.
...He was going to have to speak to Anzu about this later, unfortunately.
"...You goddamn idiot." Kaiba sighed exasperatedly, shaking his brown-haired head. The CEO walked around the wooden desk, over to the side windows that covered half of his South wall. "...But I did ask you first."
Katsuya looked up, blinking.
"Yes, you're damn right you did, Rich Boy. And I'm actually being pretty goddamn considerate here, so do you finally accept my help or not?"
"I told you once before I didn't need your help."
Katsuya frowned.
"But… I do need to take revenge on whoever started that damn rumor about me. So I will offer you 150,000 yen if you really can help me be more... 'Masculine'."
Kaiba waited for a response, refusing to look back at the blonde, staring at the baby-blue sky outside, contemplating on whether or not he should have just refused the mutt's help or not. The brunette man grew irritated, angry at the silence that followed his small, pathetic speech.
"Well, what are you--- OWW!"
Katsuya took a step back, rubbing his knuckles as he watched Seto stagger, eyes wide at the impact of the blow that the blonde had landed. The golden-haired boy grinned.
"...I accept. Oh, and that was payback for punching me in the face, you goddamn mother fu---- OOMPH!"
The older male's fist had landed a violent hit on the honey-eyed boy's stomach, Katsuya's mouth in a wide "O" as he swayed in place, his eyes narrowing at the smirking brunette.
"YOU BASTARD!"
The blonde had finally thrown himself at the wide-eyed brunette, both of the teenagers rolling around on the dark green carpet that covered the CEO's office, throwing random blows at each other and not caring where they landed, both screaming in each other's ear.
"HOW DARE YOU--- ARRGH!"
"TAKE THAT, RICH BO--- UUGH!"
The two teenagers had finally settled down in front of Kaiba Seto's $300,000 desk, both breathing heavily as they collapsed on each other, their arms and legs entangled in one another. The golden-haired male was splayed on the wavering brunette, his face, covered in little bead of sweat, settling in the brunette's soft, now red-tinted neck. The blonde could feel Kaiba's stomach slowly roll up and down beneath his, feeling the male below him sigh, exhausted. The silence that followed made Katsuya clear his throat quietly.
"Erm, Kaiba?" Katsuya had finally spoken up. "First rule to learn: Never have a member of the same gender hold you in the same position for more than 5 minutes."
A grumble from the older brunette. Jounouchi could feel the small, tingling vibrations of Kaiba's annoyed voice against his cheek.
"...It would help if you weren't ON me, puppy."
"...Good point."
-
"'Nii-kun, you're home!" The ecstatic, raven haired boy ran toward the open door, grinning broadly as his older brother slowly walked into the house, Seto's face depleted of all emotion. "You stayed at work longer than usual, bro. What happened! And why is your shirt unbuttoned? And why is your hair all tangled up? Unless---" Mokuba's eyes widened, unsure whether to look appalled or amused.
"...Don't get those kinds of thoughts, Mokuba," The brunette responded, throwing his jacket onto the couch, trudging into the kitchen. "I just got into a fight."
"...A fight!" Mokuba blinked, ears perking up. "With who?"
Kaiba rolled his eyes. "The mutt."
The younger Kaiba's eyes widened, resisting the urge to raise a curious eyebrow. "...Jounouchi?" Mokuba scratched his chin, staring intently at his older brother. Then, his mouth opened to form a wide smile. "Ahh, so does that mean you got him to tutor you?" the pre-teen stated happily, following his older sibling in the kitchen.
"He ISN'T tutoring me..!" Kaiba's eyes narrowed as a bright picture of the blonde appeared in his head. The brunette shook his head angrily, slowly opening the refrigerator, grumbling when he realized that he had forgotten to go grocery shopping earlier on in the day. "Stupid mutt," he muttered under his breath.
A pause. "Then what IS he doing, 'Nii-kun?" The older teenager could sense the smirk that was hidden in the straightforward words.
"...What are you implying, Mokuba...?" Seto asked slowly, turning around to see his little brother grinning up at him.
"...I'm implying that there will be more days when you'll come home with your shirt unbuttoned, that's what I'm implying."
"...Wha---!" The brunette resisted the urge to blush profoundly and curse loudly at his younger brother. "Why, you...!"
This was going to be a long night.
