He told me that he wanted to see me smile.
Well- my stupid smile.
Sold Love
It was the first night.
The first night with this stranger, a man who I knew only because of my painful secrets-
But he knew too well, and he was like a puzzle I couldn't find the last piece to.
"Where do you want to sleep?"
He spoke, leading me down to a hallway, shallow with echoes of his voice in this mansion. To a turn with sudden a hallway with doors on every side of the wall- he opened one door with a big bed, then to another with couches and books, more beds and so on.
If I was to get lost, I hope I get lost in the kitchen.
But what I calmly forgot was his warmth of his right hand that now held onto my cold restless left hand.
"I-I don't know."
I honestly didn't. It was like asking me 'what's your favorite water?' I obviously don't know, they taste the freaking same. He smiled and suddenly stopped his steps, but made enough space for me to stand perfectly instead of bumping into him.
"Do you need someone to sleep with?"
The bastard was teasing me.
"N-no!"
"Then, why can't you decide?"
"B-Because,"
He smirked, that ignorant laugh you wish you can just slap off.
"Sleep in here, it's warm. If you need me I'm next door."
"T-Thanks."
This whole time I never said thanks. I didn't feel the need to thank him, but what he might be offering to me might be a chance of a change, rather than just erasing my past.
"It's master, my useless dog."
The fuck?
"Shut-"
I was going to yell at his stupid ass but he went on to his room, almost slamming the door.
The room was comfy, unlike that idiot's image- had a restroom and extra clothes for me wear. This rich guy got everything so perfectly, it's kind of scary.
And I know-
That at that night, I didn't sleep at all. Even when everything was so comfortable, so perfect-
I was restless.
I wondered what he might be doing.
Today seem so long that I needed two days of sleep to get everything sort out.
He was something different from every other being I've mentored in my head.
His way of speech was idiotically rude but that didn't stop him from talking to me straight on.
He was the first.
To be able to stand at me and cry to me just to the way to my-
Heart.
Like how he used to. His single drop of tear would drown the whole damn world, I had to do anything to stop it.
His tear was so deep, covered with meaning no knowledge can fully comprehend.
It wasn't shallow- like the others.
It wasn't useless, unlike theirs and them.
I can't sleep since these thoughts are making unforgettable replays of his actions throughout the day. He would be sleeping and I can almost see him dreaming. If I knew he was right next to me, why was I so nervous that I was going to lose him? I-I can't understand.
He would never know.
Never know I never slept that night.
When I woke up it was around 11. I knew I overslept since I couldn't sleep until around 3, so I quickly ran out and opened the door next to mine. Everything was back to where it was except he was gone.
With both hands on the wall just in case there's any trap or anything I looked for the kitchen, smelling coffee through my dog nose.
As soon as I got there-
"Good morning lazy ass,"
"G-Good morning."
Why does Bakura always have to see me in a weird way?
"Breakfast is on the plate pup, come eat."
Bakura was there, then that means Seto's not here. Where did he go in the morning?
"To work."
"W-What?"
CAN HE READ MINDS?
"Seto, he went to work. He goes to work everyday, just in case you were wondering."
"O-oh. Yeah."
"Don't you wanna know more about that bastard?"
Bakura raises his cup of coffee as I take a sit in front of him, grabbing the fork. I nod silently just in case and take a look at Bakura. He smirks as he sips onto his coffee.
I've notices he was wearing all black, making his gorgeous hair stand out more and now that I notice it-
His eyes are cotton blue- what is this guy?
He's way too attractive.
"He's a fag- that's what he is."
I cough, winking at him slowly telling him, 'I think I knew that already.'
"But- He's just broken."
I take a bite of my toast and slowly remember that word,
Broken.
Yeah, I heard that word before. Many times- too many times and I've been there before. Up to the point of shattering nightmares- but this wasn't about me. It was about that heartless freak.
I look at Bakura, acknowledging him to go on.
"He had a brother, a father, and then a hidden brother."
Woah. Hidden brother.
"Except now he has none."
What?
"The brother he had since they were born- his name was Mokuba. The cutest dork you will ever see."
He took a chance to laugh at his own words, or maybe even at the thought of this Mokuba kid.
"But no one knew,
He was raped,
Abused,
Mentally tortured,
Broken."
Every fucking word.
It hurt me- so much from the inside out I can feel my own heart bursting blood at a fast pace.
"By his father and step brother."
It was eating me alive.
"Not the beautiful thing to hear in the morning. But Kaiba probably felt 9 times worse when he found out- ha-"
Poor Seto.
Poor Mokuba- Poor Seto, it must've, it just must've-
"They found him dead at 8 in the morning."
And I fell my tear fall to my plate once again.
Then consecutive rolling and ringing onto that white petite plate.
He was so alone.
That's why he was here- living the life of a living hell- broken, shattered by his own strive of life.
Without my notice, Bakura was out of his chair and was now behind me, comforting me as he slowly massaged my shoulders, keep whispering his small laughs without hope.
And that's how the morning passed.
"Mr. Kaiba, the bet that you have accepted has been played. We will find out the results as quick as possible which is by tomorrow night, around 9 p.m."
"Right. Don't forget to get the bid from H. Tower."
"Hai."
His work went by quickly. He wanted everything to go by quickly. He was waiting for someone, quietly hoping for him to wait for him. Secretly.
He arrived at his house around 6, thinking on his way back what the hell the mutt might be up to but somehow this mutt always surprised him- like how he will now.
He opened the door, seeing his mutt in blue shorts, topless- wet from head to toe.
Oh? He found himself a pool.
"Y-You're b-back?"
A nervous answer, a suspicious question-
"What the hell were you doing?"
"S-swimming."
"By yourself?"
"No, with me."
Bakura comes out of no where scaring the hell out of both Jou and Seto, but doesn't react that they both jumped in surprise at his sudden appearance.
"What the hell are you doing here again?"
Seto speaks with high annoyance.
"I wanted to see Jou since you were going to work the whole day. Boring, old bastard."
Bakura sticks out his tongue, causing Jou to laugh, triggering Seto's annoyed anger.
"Shut the hell up and leave."
"I'm topless, don't make me leave without a shirt."
"Do I look like I give a damn?"
"No- but I still need my shirt."
His wet hair drips water to the ground as he runs to find his shirt. As soon as he finds it, he grabs his car keys, kisses Jou on the cheek leaving him flushed and waves Seto goodbye.
"That stupid-"
And Jou couldn't stop laughing.
Then Seto couldn't stop staring.
His body was most fit than imaginable, now wet and topless, as his light blonde turns dirty in the splash of water with his very own flesh glistening in the light as he moves even the smallest muscle. Seto came in for a surprise and he got something more than that.
He walked up to him, closer and closely, demanding what he demanded before-
"Kiss me."
"W-What?"
"Kiss me."
The same situation as before but this time, Seto doesn't wait. He kisses Jou full on, taking off his blazer and caressing his wet body. His hand slowly plays with his shorts and his thighs when suddenly he holds both to wrap his waist. Jou holds onto Seto with his arms around his shoulders and neck, opening his mouth to yell but instead a warm tongue greets him with bittersweet saliva of a French kiss.
Seto still kisses him rapidly, with experience he winks and carries him into a room with a nicely organized bed.
He lays Jou down but still kisses him,nailing him perfectly so his arms and legs can't attack him just in case.
This bastard knew too much.
As he finally let goes off the kiss, Jou is pinched down onto the bed with Seto over him, looking directly as him- hearing it in a sexy tone, panting at the lack of breathing from such a passionate kiss.
Seto can hear this desperate panting of Jou's almost as a moan for more. He smirks, as he sees Jou looking away, not wanting to see Seto directly as the mutt's face blushes vastly.
He didn't want to say anything and neither of them said a word.
But their kiss said too much and too much was to be done.
Seto slowly kissed Jou's jaw line, tracing it down to his neck, leaving him blossoms and marks of beauty that blemishes his pale, soft flesh. At the same time, his hands glided through the wet skin caressing every detail of his body as Jou let out a gentle moan. Jou's hand automatically turned to Seto's necktie and pulled him closer, suddenly kissing him, opening a chance for Seto to kiss him more and more. Seto held onto Jou's hand and placed it on his chest, telling him to unbutton his top clothing and Jou did as his master commanded.
Slowly but steadily Jou tipped over a button under its hole, opening the shirt as his kisses covered him.
As the necktie and shirt came off, Seto slowly turned Jou over, using his fingers to press onto him a sensation that arched to his waist, back then to his neck- bringing him the perfect position.
Seto wrapped his arms around his waist, trying to get Jou's final clothing off when suddenly he felt Jou's wet, cold hand on his hot shaking hands, grasping it to tell him something.
He stopped.
Everything stopped.
"I-I can't. I d-don't want t-to."
His voice slowly cracked, as they both knew they can hear the fear in his voice.
"Can't do what? This?"
Seto grasped Jou, cupping it and deftly massaging it.
Jou moaned, but continued to tell him stop.
"P-Pleaseā¦ah- s-stop-"
And then Seto heard the tear in his tone.
He let go.
He let go everything.
Jou heard footsteps farther and farther, approving that he left the room, leaving him alone to cry in.
WOAH WOAH WOAH- JOU'S CRYING, OH NO! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REVIEWS! HOPE YOU ENJOYED!
