Art-class, Domino high.
Jou's POV
"So mutt, who is the unlucky person who you has seduced?"
Oh bloody hell. Why the fuck did he always, ALWAYS have to put me down! Now I have another one of those fume-out-of-my-ears things.
I turn around towards Kaiba to tell him what I think of his constant insults. He's standing behind me with a smirk saying: I'm better then you, so ha, ha fuck off. He has taken of his blue school jacket, I note somewhere in the back of my head.
"Fuck off Kaiba!" I yell to him. "For yer big fat information, there is a whole bunch of people tha' likes me!"
One of Kaibas eyebrows rise and he looks genuinely surprised.
"Oh really? An example, if I may ask." I blink and starts to think really hard.
"Well, err... Yugi likes me..." Kaiba snorts and rolls his eyes.
"Okay. Give me a name besides all of your dorkey friends. If there is one. So then tell me mutt, or did the cat get your tongue, hm?"
Fuck.
He's right, I really don't have anyone besides my friends that like me... Except my sister, but I'm sure he'll just laugh at me if I say that.
No, by the way, he won't laugh, Seto Kaiba don't do the whole laughing thing. But he'll absolutely say something mean!
So I keep my mouth shut and just glare at him. A glare filled with all my anger and irritation.
One of my fearsome death-glares of doom!
"You look so much like a puppy with that look on your face." Kaiba says and walks away.
I blink. My glare had no affect on him, what so ever!
He must be a robot or something. Oh no, the robots are taking over!
LIKE IN TERMINATOR!
Maybe I just didn't look so fearsome as I thought.
I follow Kaiba with my gaze. Then I see him walk up to the Valentine-box. After looking around himself very quickly, he put something in it. My best guess is that said something was a Valentine card.
Like I care that he just put a card in that box...
Wait.
Seto Kaiba gave away a Valentine card? But... that would mean...
"OH MY GOD, HE LIKES SOMEONE!" I shout straight out.
Needless to say, everyone in the room is staring at me right now. Heh. Whoops.
"Jounouchi, please keep your voice down." Miss Lane say and start talking to another girl about how she'd spend Valentine.
I blush to a deep crimson and start to cutting out my card I started on earlier.
It's heart-shaped, well duh, and I've drawn the words Happy Valentine on it with silver.
It looks neat, and not to fluffy, mushy-gushy-ish. I turn it and starts thinking really hard. Who should I give it to...
And a light-bulb appears over my head. (A/N: I had one of those moments...)
I'll send it to Otogi! He's a nice guy, and he'll be happy.
I grab the silver pen again and write with very nice letters:
"Happy Valentine dice-boy/ Jou. P.S: Thanks for helping me with the papers Otogi! D.S.
I smile towards my creation. Perfect. Not to loving, only a friendly card.
I take another paper and start thinking. Well, who else, who else...
Then a name jumps into my brain and echo within my brain:
Seto Kaiba.
I blink several times and shake my head. Stupid mind, why the hell would I send a card to Kaiba?
He's only a cold-hearted, bastard-ish, evil, mean and teasing son of a bitch who mock me every time he see me!
"And you have a crush on him..." a voice in my head say in a teasing tone.
"WHAT! No, I don't have a crush on him!" I shout in my mind.
"You do too."
"Do not"
"Do too"
"DO NOT!"
"Do too until eternity!"
"Do not... wait a minute, am I talking to myself?"
"So it would seem."
"Crap."
Quickly, I pull out of the discussion in my mind and shake my head. Alright, maybe I have a little crush on him...
"Told you so."
I growl a little, but decide to ignore the voice in my head.
Why the hell does that sound so fucking lunatic?
I go back to the paper in my hands and start making a new card. It's also a heart-shaped one. But it's bigger, and I work harder on it.
I write/draw the same thing as on the last on the front: Happy Valentine.
But I also draw a dragon. It's big and majestic, and it's laying over the text, looking like it's about to attack something. But out of it's nose it's coming puffs of smoke, shaping like hearts.
And yes, it had a big similarity to Blue eyes white dragon.
It took me a lot of time to get the dragon finished, almost a full hour. But hell, was I satisfied with the result!
I turn the card over and ponders. What should I write? With slight hesitation I take a silver pen and write:
Happy Valentine Seto./Your puppy Jou
With a little more hesitation I finally draw another smoke-heart and write Please be mine inside of it. I look at the card and smile. It looks great, it's the best card I've ever made.
And I'm giving it to my arch-enemy.
"And to your biggest crush..." Voice inside my head giggles. I sigh. Well, that's true... But why the hell did I like him? Of all people in the world, why him!
A mystery we'll never get the answer of.
With a large smile, I stand and walk towards the box. I put in Otogi's card and then look at the card I'm giving to Kaiba. Well, here goes nothing...
I reach out to put in the card, but before I can someone snatch it from my hands.
"Hey!" I scream and turns around. My eyes grow very big.
Kaiba is holding my card with a smug grin on his face. Luckily, he hasn't looked on the name yet. But it'll only be a matter of time, and when he see the name, his name to be exact, he'll kill me.
As slow as he possibly can.
"Well, well, how interesting. Who could this be for then..." He slowly turn the card to look, but I beat him to it.
I grab the card and pull it out of his hands. And I'm surprised I got it, I thought Kaiba would've held on to it tighter. Without hesitating I throw it into the box, where it disappears, melting into the other cards laying there.
I sigh deeply with relief and turn towards Kaiba again. He's looking at me with a raised eyebrow and his, oh so annoying, trademark smirk. And I'm so going to get that of his face...
"Kaiba, you big ass!" I growl at him. "Ya don' go an' look at people's cards like tha'! It's bloody private!"
Did I get it of his face? No, I just succeeded in making it bigger!
"Is that so? I just wanted to warn the poor person getting that card so she could run and hide..."
I glare at him. Why the hell do I have a crush on this guy?
"Let's see, let's see... he has beautiful eyes, a nice ass, he's rich, he's tall and handsome, is always dedicated in everything he does, he's smart... did I mention he's hot?"
And no, that wasn't me thinking that. No, I only heard that annoying voice in my head again!
"WHY ARE YOU BACK AGAIN!" I roar inside my mind.
"...I was never gone..." I sigh deeply, and this time not only inside my mind.
"What are you sighing about, mutt?"
I blink and curse inside my head. Fuck, what am I going to say, that I sigh because I have a stupid voice in my head, who's annoying me?
Yeah, he won't think I'm crazy at all...
"You can say that your sighing about his great looks..." the voice in my head say with a teasing ring to it's voice. I almost growl, but stop myself, since Kaiba is standing in front of me...
"Err... I... sigh about... I got a paper cut in my finger! And it's stinging."
I never claimed to have a great mind!
"A paper cut? Let me see..." And then the unthinkable happens:
Kaiba takes my hand. I'm so completely and utterly choked that I can't move or say a word. A faint tinge of red appears on my cheeks. Gods, his hands are so soft and warm...
Kaiba slowly lift my hand to his face and starts looking at my fingers, one by one. A small frown appears on his forehead.
"I can't see any paper cut..." Now I finally react. I pull my hand away from him and back away slowly.
"Oh, heh... It's on the other hand... ehm... see ya!"
And with that, I retreat to my own table.
I heavily sink down next to Yugi and put my head on the table. I can clearly feel my cheeks burn with a large blush.
"Ehm, Jou?" I snap my head up from the desk and look to my right. Yugi is watching me with a curious expression on his face.
And an ancient pharaoh on his back. (A/N: )
"Yeah, what'ya wan' Yuge?" Now he's smiling in an evil way. And who ever said Yugi is innocent and sweet? If you knew him as well as I do, you'd know alot better.
"So... now I see why there's not anything between you and Ryugi... it's between you and Kaiba it's boiling..."
Okay, if I thought I had a big blush earlier, I was soo wrong... But before I can tell Yugi how completely crazy he is the door opens and the pizza we were promised earlier arrived.
Yeah, explaining can wait, lets eat some pizza!
2hours later, still Jou's POV
FINALLY!
The day's over and I can go home!
I rush towards my locker to leave my books and get my jacket. It takes me less then five minutes. And then you must remember that my locker and the art-classroom is in the opposite parts of the building!
I hurriedly open my locker and throw in the things in the locker. But to my great dismay, all things fall out as I do so. For a moment I forgot that all my things had been balanced in a very fragile way.
But why, WHY did it have to fall out now, I'm already late. My dad, the evil, drunken bastard, told me to be home at five and now it's... I quickly check my clock.
My eyes grow big as dinner-plates.
HALF PAST THREE! Oh my God, I had to get this done in fifteen minutes if I wished to catch the last bus home! (A/N: I know, it's a bit early for the last bus, but I have to be evil to him.)
Can't I walk home you ask? Well... It will take me, like, two hours!
Cursing wildly I grab the biggest of my books and throw them carelessly into the locker. A while the throw-in-the-books-as-fast-and-untidily-as-you-can tactic worked just fine, but when I put in the last note-book everything fell out again.
I screamed and punched the locker next to mine as hard as I could.
"DAMNIT!" I cried and punched again. Ouch! It hurts as hell in my hand by now, but it's nothing compared to what my father would do if I come home late again.
But hey, at least this day couldn't get any worse, right?
"Mutt?"
When will I ever learn that if you say those words it always, always get worse?
I turn around as quick as I can and see the one and only Seto Kaiba coming walking towards me. He stops only a few feet away from me and slowly looks to the mess on the floor. A sly smirk appears on his face and he looks at me again.
"So... The puppy hasn't been house trained yet?" I glare at him and bend down to lift up the biggest book on the floor.
"Shut up Kaiba. I don't have the time right now, I have to be outa here in..." I glance on my watch again. FUCK! SEVEN MINUTES!
"Shitshitshitshit..." I repeat over and over again while I throw in the books in the locker again.
But, just as the last time, they fall out again. I scream in pain and anger as one of the books hit one of my toes. I shout out in pain again and start to jump around, holding my injured foot in both of my hand.
Then I hear something I've never heard:
Kaiba, the Seto Kaiba, laughing his head off.
I stop jumping instantly and glare at him. He's standing with his arms around his stomach and is laughing so hard that tears are falling out off his eyes.
At any other time I would've probably said something like that he has a beautiful laughter, but now I'm down-right pissed.
"Well, ha, ha Kaiba, I'm dying with laughter over here." I mutter with my voice dripping with sarcasm. I look at my watch again and feel my heart sink in my chest.
Three minutes. I'd never make it now. I would die from another reason than laughing, that's for sure...
I bend down again to take up my books, even though it's hard when I barely can see anything. You see, somehow my eyes are very wet and makes me see in a very foggy way.
Then I hear metal hitting stone. In the next second I see another hand grabbing the big book, the math book to be precise.
My gaze slowly moves along that hand, up an arm, to a shoulder to finally stop on a face. A very handsome face with beautiful, blue eyes surrounded by chestnut-brown hair.
"Let me help you with that puppy." Kaiba say and starts to take up more books. I can't do anything else but stare. Kaiba is actually helping me!
I lean down and take up two of my note books and turn to throw them back into the locker, but then I feel a strong hand grab my arm. I turn slowly and look into Kaiba's eyes.
"You already tried to throw them in your way. Let me handle it, okay?" I blink.
Trust Kaiba? Moneybags? Letting him put my "valuable" things in my locker?
The answer to that question is so obvious.
"Sure!"
And Kaiba takes the biggest books and carefully put them in my locker. Then he bend down to pick up more books.
I can't help but to look at his ass for a second when he bends down.
Oh yeah, I'm so totally enjoying the view!
Okay, for those who hasn't guessed it, I'm gay. Or more like bi. I like girls, but I'm more into guys, you get me?
"MUTT, BLOODY HELL!" I jump with fright and manage to fall backwards onto the floor.
"Wha'... wha'da hell moneybags!" I shriek. Oh God, he didn't see me check out his ass, did he!
He's looking at me with an amused look on his face.
"I've told you three times to give me your notebooks. So... give me your notebooks!"
I rise, madly blushing, from the floor and hand him the books. He turns and put back the books. Then he backs off one step and makes an arm gesture towards the locker.
"Voila!" He says in a satisfied tone and picks up his briefcase. I take a step forward and look into the locker. My eyes almost pops out of their sockets.
My locker is perfect! The books are neatly placed on the two shelves in a way I've never managed to put them. I turn to Kaiba with my mouth at wide agape.
"How... How tha' hell did ya do tha'?" I manage to choke out and Kaiba smirk.
"Oh, its easy... if your not a foolish little puppy."
I growl at him and I'm just about to give him a reply, but then I remember my bus.
"Oh man! I'm late!" I shout and run towards the door. I throw them open and, to my great relief, the bus is still standing in front of the school.
I run towards it, but just when I'm only a feet away from it, the bloody bus-driver from hell closes the door and start to drive away.
(A/N: That has happened too me. TWO TIMES!)
"NO WAIT!" I scream, but the bus keeps going. I stop and stares as the bus goes around the corner.
So, that was it. I was going to be late home, and then my father would beat me to the brink of my life. And then I would be lucky! Oh, I'm so dead...
"You know mutt, that it's very rude to leave and not say good-bye..." I groan and turn around. And I almost fall over.
Only one foot behind me is Kaiba. I hadn't thought that he'd be right under my nose when I turned! Err, maybe more like right over my nose, but you get my point.
"Oh, shut it. I just missed my bus and..." I sigh and let my voice die. It's silent for a second, but then another voice is heard.
"Mr. Kaiba, sir?" We both turn our heads. A few feet away is a man in black suit and a driver-hat. He's standing next to a huge, black limo and is holding a passenger-door open.
"What James?" Kaiba snap back. The older man bows and makes a gesture towards the door.
"Your limo has arrived, sir." I almost laugh, like someone could miss the limousine, it's blocking the road!
I scratch my head and say. "Well Kaiba I'm in a hurry so... I'll see ya around..." I turn to walk the long road home, but then a strong hand grabs my arm, making me turn around. I look into Kaiba's blue eyes yet again.
"Would you... like a lift?" I blink and stare at Kaiba. He looks quite embarrassed for a second, but I can have imagined it.
Did I want a lift? Did I want to ride with Kaiba in his expensive limo, all the way to my house? Sit next to him in a warm and comfortable limo?
"Yeah! Let's go Kaiba!"
We never expected that answer, now did we...
