Yeah, hello! I'm back again, and it's a new chapter, with a happy glow and...hm...
...let's just go on.
Well, I promised in the last chapter that the first one to review would receive a hug and kiss from Seto and Jou, and I hold my promises!
Congratulation gbheart! Hear ya go, a big smooch from Seto and Jou, as a thank you for the wonderful review!
Seto: -sigh deeply and hug and kiss gbheart- At least better than kissing the mutt...
Jou: -mumbles and hug and kiss gbheart- Didn' hear ya complainin' yesterday...-mumbles-
Me: He's right ya know!
OMG, I got a threat! Please don't colour my clothes pink, Growing Pain, pink is evil! Mm-yes, it's a girly colour. Though, Pegasus wear it...
...my point is...let's skip this, and just say that pink is evil, the colour of the devil!
And thank you everyone for the comment on the poem I actually made it myself, being very inspired at the moment! Thank you again!
Ah well, now that we're done with that, let's get the story going.
Disclaimer: I own nothing concerning Yu-Gi-Oh! I only use the characters in evil and menacing ways, to get my perverted fantasies real...-sigh-. Also, I own none of the utterly beautiful songs being played in this fic, so don't sue!
Pairings: Same as last chapter!
Warnings: Same as last chapters. Some OOC, and major rivalry and craziness. And Anzu bashing, YAY!
Hmm... let's see... any last words... Yeah, read, enjoy and review! 3 kisses!
Chapter 8 The park 18:43 Jou's POVI stare, unable to move, at the person behind me and Ryuji. It isn't possible! I'm just seeing things, it's probably just an illusion. Yeah, that's right, only an illusion!
My very smart statement is broken by both the illusion and by Ryuji.
"What are you doing here!" Both Ryuji and the 'illusion' yelled at each other, making me wince. Otogi glare at the newcomer, and take a step closer to him, pushing me to the side.
"Well, you answer first, moneybags!"
Oh yes. The mystery person was indeed the one and only moneybag, Seto Kaiba. He sure doesn't look as a moneybag at the moment, though... I can't help staring at him, my cheeks flushing.
He's not wearing any of his usual clothes, oh no, God has no such mercy with me. Kaiba's wearing a pair of tight pants, and an almost even tighter shirt with a deep cut, reaching about three inches down his chest, showing some of his slim and pale body. All the clothes are black, a very fitting colour for him indeed.
Kaiba's hair is the same as usual, neat and perfectly combed, not a hair wrong. Also, it looks newly showered, and it looks like he used some expensive balsam.
Oh yeah, he looks totally hot. I'm almost drooling... Hm, forget about the almost...
Kaiba looks at Otogi, holding his hands hidden behind him, and smirk.
"What? I'm not allowed to take a little night stroll? You don't own this park, as far as I can remember." Ryuji glares at Kaiba and cross his arms.
"Maybe not, but you still haven't answered my question; What are you doing here?"
I swear that Kaiba's eyes went to me for a split second, and then turned back to Ryuji.
"That is none of your business. What are you doing here, yourself?" Ryuji smirked.
"That is none of your business, now is it, Kaiba-boy?"
"Point taken."
Both teens glare fiercely at each other, trying to kill each other merely by the force of their eyes. And why do I feel very out of place here...
"Err, guys? Hello?" I say, to break the long silence between the three of us. The two boys look at me, and both looks very surprised.
Seriously, had they forgotten that I'm still here! Hmpf, nice...
Now I notice that Kaiba's holding something behind his back. The curious person I am, I wish to know what it is that Kaiba's hiding, but Otogi beat me to the question. To my surprise, he looks very evil when he asks it.
"Well, what is that behind your back then, Kaiba?" Kaiba flinch, and for a second you can see a faint blush on his cheeks. No, make that half a second. Then all you can see is the ice-cube.
"Nothing that would be any interest to you, dice-boy." I try to peer around his back.
"Aw, come on, Kaiba! Tell us!" I whine, and try the puppy eyes.
Kaiba flinch once again, and look at me. His cold expression softens a little, and he shuffle his feet. I see that he puts something in the back pocket of his coat, and he smiles a little, a smile that is barely invisible, but still so beautiful. And it makes me go all...warm and fuzzy inside.
"Well, I'd love to tell you, but that'll have to wait. We have a dance to get to." And with that, I find my arm held by Kaiba, and he's leading me towards the park gates. I stare at the hand, and feel my cheeks flush a little. "Crap...so...warm...must...resist...the hotness!"
Then, a hand grabs my other arm, and I find that Ryuji is the owner of said hand. He's looking at Kaiba with an angry look on his face.
"Hey! Who said Jou's going with you?"
Kaiba gives Ryuji a cold look and tug my arm a little closer to him.
"I did. You didn't hear me the first time?"
Otogi gives Kaiba a death glare, that Kaiba just smirk at.
"Well, he's not going with you, he's going with me!" And Ryuji pulls my arm to him, making me almost trip.
"No, he's going with me." Pull to the left.
"Shut up, Kaiba, he's going with me!" Pull to the right.
Between every 'he's going with me', they pull my arms to them. I feel like a bloody squeak toy, being pulled between two angry dogs, a toy being pulled between two brats, a person being dragged between two rivals of said persons heart...
Err, scratch that last part.
I'm about to split in two for the moment, so I decide to stop this.
"Guys! Let go of my arms, please!" But they don't seem hear me. They're busy giving each other fierce glares, and throw insults at each other.
"Coldfish!"
"Dice-boy."
"Bastard!"
"Feminine fool."
"Mr I-only-have-one-clothe-style!"
"...would that be an insult? Pf..."
"Yeah, that would be an insult, Mr!"
"Well then, Mr Crazy-about-his-split roots-hair, that was a lame one."
Ryuji's eyes start to glow angrily, and I close my eyes in pity of the brunette. Oh, bad one Kaiba, never insult him about his hair. Not the hair, damnit! That's like signing your tomb-stone!
"That's it, Kaiba! You're dead!"
And with those words, Ryuji lets go of my arm, and throw himself at Kaiba. Kaiba, who was completely unprepared, falls backwards and fell hard on the ground with the furious Ryuji over him. At that point, I was sure that Seto would get his arse kicked.
I was proven wrong.
In just the next second, Kaiba has the upper hand, and holds down Ryuji against the ground. For a moment, I thought that Kaiba would beat Otogi up, but instead he got up to his feet, brushing off some imaginary dirt from his clothes.
"Don't try that again, Otogi. Next time, I might not be so merciful. Now, me and Katsuya is going to the dance together." And with that, he takes my hand and drag me out from the park.
I stare back at Ryuji, laying on the ground glaring at Kaiba, and then I stare at Kaiba, wanting to know what just happened. In some weird way, he just asked me to the dance.
I think.
Might as well ask him.
"Err, Kaiba? Is this yer way of askin' me to the dance?" Kaiba looks down at me and smirk.
"What do you think?"
I shrug and smirk back at him.
"If it was, it kinda sucked. Ya should've, like, asked me to go with ya, and not just beat up another guy tha' wanted to go with me."
Kaiba's smirk grow wider and he looks forward again, when we come out from the park.
"Oh, but it's more fun my way, puppy."
"Hey, I'm no-" I lose my breath, and stare at the limo outside the park.
It's huge, and black. Nothing unusual, it's Kaiba here. But that's not all, it's covered in red roses in decorative patterns, and looks really romantic. It's like something out of a fairytale! Though, without horses and a royal wagon.
Who needs that, anyway?
I feel Kaiba's hot breath slightly on my ear, when he mumbles;
"Do you like it?"
I spin around and look up in Kaiba's eyes. The blue orbs are darker then I thought, in this low light, they're navy-blue, and not the regular icy one I'm used to.
"It looks amazing, Kaiba!" He smile, well at least the corners of his mouth isn't pointing downwards, and open one door for me, and makes an inviting hand gesture.
"Jump in. The dance starts soon."
19:00
School/Gym-room.
Normal POV
Jou looked around himself in awe, and smiled happily. The gym-room had been decorated with hearts of every shape, their colour between all shades of pink and red. Long garlands are hanged up in the roof, and colourful lights are also a part of the decoration.
The dance floor was already full of people, dancing to the fast and steady rhythm of the music. Right now, the song on is Madonna, 'hung up'. There's chairs along the wall, and also a giant snack-table, filled with all kinds of food and candy, and also drinks.
Jou went to the closet and hung up his jacket among the many other that was already hanging there, and Seto did the same.
With a large smile, Jou turned to Seto.
"So, moneybags, what should we do first? Dance or plunder the snack table? Or we could..."
"JOU!" The blonde turned quickly, seeing Yugi run up to him from the dance floor. The short boy was wearing new clothes, looking, to quote Ryou, smashing! Behind him came Yami, of course dressed in leather pants and a tight tank-top, showing off his tanned and muscular arms.
"Hi ya, bud!" Jou shouted, and shot one of his trademark grins at him.
Yugi looked at him from head to toe, and then stated;
"You look great." Jou laughed.
"Ah, ya don' look to bad yerself, Yug'!"
Yami hadn't listened to his hikari's conversation. No, he was standing next to Seto and smirked towards him.
"Well, what's up between you and Jou then, Kaiba?" Seto glared at Yami, and crossed his arms.
"Nothing you need to put your nose in." He said in a sharp tone, and then looked at Jou. Unknown to him, his gaze softened a little, and the corners of his mouth went microscopically upwards, while he watched the blonde talking and laughing with Yugi.
Yami's smirk widened when he saw the look on the CEO's face. "Now, this is interesting..."
"Oh, really? So deep already, hm?"
Seto glared at him again, the soft look on his face disappearing, but didn't say anything.
Jou now looked at Seto and smiled broadly.
"Come on, Kaiba! Let's start by the snack table, I want something to drink!" And with that, he grabbed Seto's arm and dragged away with him. To the two look-alikes surprise, the CEO didn't object, he just simply followed.
Yugi blinked confusedly.
"Have I missed something?" Yugi asked innocently, and looked up at Yami. The ancient spirit chuckled and shook his head.
"Oh no, aibou. Nothing that wasn't obvious from the beginning."
Seto stared at Jou's hand where it was holding on to him. His heart had recently gone on a roller coaster journey, and hadn't really got down from the loop.
"Wow, they have all snacks in da world!" Jou shouted and looked hungrily at the table. The blonde had let go of Seto's arm now, and instead he was rubbing his hands together, looking very evil for a moment.
"Wha' should we have first?" Jou asked and looked at Seto. The brunette shrugged and leaned against the wall next to the table.
"You can have whatever you want, Katsuya. I'm not hungry." At that, Jou made a 'pf'-ing sound and took a small chocolate-chip cookie between his thump and index finger. "Aw, come on, try this!"
And he leaned over to Seto and put the cookie in the CEO's mouth. Seto gave Jou a slightly odd look, before he started to chew on the cookie carefully. And soon a look of great surprise reached his face. Or, well, his eyes widened a millimetre.
The cookie was delicious! It tasted like manna from heaven, like something out of a fairytale, like... chocolate. Hm... why did they taste like chocolate... Seto's eyes widened yet again. Oh shit, he was turning into a brainless teen!
Mokuba would never ever be aloud to eat this kind of sweets again. (But we all know that Seto would never be able to keep Mokuba away from sweets, no need to worry. Oh, the wonders of puppy-eyes.)
"So, what'ya think?" Jou asked curiously and plopped a cookie into his own mouth.
"...not bad." Seto muttered, and licked his lips slightly. But inside his mind, he made a mental note to buy home alot of chocolate-chip cookies. And then he meant alot of them. Being a multi-billionaire had it's peaks.
Jou sighed and took a Coke. "Ah well, at least ya didn' spit it out..." He mumbled and took a large clunk.
After a few awfully quiet minutes, the DJ put on a high tempo song that had a very nice rhythm to it, and Jou's eyes lit up.
"Oh man, this song is so great! We have to dance, Kaiba!" Seto sighed, but got up from his comfortable leaning position.
"I don't really like dancing.", He said, and crossed his arms. Jou smirked at Seto and chuckled.
"So, the great Seto Kaiba can't dance, huh?" Seto glared at Jou and started to roll up his sleeves.
"I never said that I couldn't. And if you want proof, then watch me."
And then, Seto took Jou's hand and dragged him onto the dance floor. Jou smirked and followed the taller teen's lead.
Yes, Seto had said he could dance. And boy, did he mean it.
The other students watched him with large eyes, and gaping mouths. The brunette didn't seem to touch the ground, and moved in perfect sync with the music.
Jou could only stand and gape at Seto and blink occasionally. The CEO of Kaiba Corp, moved with a grace and agility that Jou never thought he had. Seto's eyes were full of concentration, and he didn't seem to notice the crowd around him.
He made graceful jump, and a scissor-like kick with his legs wide apart when he was at the highest point. When he touched the ground again, he made a pirouette and went down in a perfect split. Just when the song ended, he was up again and made a nice end-pose.
For a few seconds, it was completely silent, except Seto's small pants, and then everyone clapped their hands, and cheered. Seto blinked, and now he seemed to notice that people were watching him. He glared and then walked out of the circle to join Jou again.
The blonde stared at him with wide mouth and eyes, and seemed to be in daze. Seto smirked and crossed his arms.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer."
Jou finally could move, and his brain make progress again.
"Wow, Kaiba, tha' was awesome!"
Seto smirked even more and putted his hands in his pockets.
"Told you I could dance."
"Never thought you'd be so good." Jou mumbled, and blushed slightly.
"Well then, now that that's settled, let's take this dance together, hm?" Without waiting for an answer, Seto grabbed Jou's hand and pulled him out on the dance-floor again.
This time, the song was one with a rhythm for boogie-woogie, a fast pair dance. Seto smirked, since this was one of the dances he knew best, beside waltz and dancing alone.
But Jou had never danced that before. He had only danced alone in discos, and occasionally he would dance slow-dances.
So, it was up to Seto to teach his puppy to learn. And that was not an easy task.
"No! You put your foot there, on the seventh beat! Honestly, I thought puppies learned tricks quite fast."
Jou growled, and tried to move his foot where Seto had told him, but almost tripped.
"Shut it, rich-boy. It's my first time on this. And I'm no puppy!" The last, Jou grunted out between clenched teeth. Seto just chuckled, and moved to the direction he was supposed, and waited for Jou to move his feet.
Even though Jou wasn't a fast learner, both boys had alot of fun trying to learn. But when they reached the third boogie-woogie song, Seto decided to speed things up.
In learning how to dance, I mean.
Seto grabbed both Jou's hands, and made a spin that brought the shorter boy up against his chest with his back, in something that looked like a backward embrace. Jou blushed slightly, and his breath hitched, feeling the other teen's heat against him.
"Just follow my lead now, okay?" Seto mumbled in Jou's ear. Jou nodded numbly. And with that, Seto spun him out again. In one swift moment, the brunette made some basic moves, so Jou could adjust to the steps for a few seconds.
Soon, Seto led him on to harder and more complicated tricks. Jou followed and smiled broadly when the dance went on, and he just could concentrate on the dance, and not on how his feet moved. It seemed that Seto moved them for him.
Just like when Seto danced by himself, people stopped for a while, just to watch them dance. Jou and Seto however, didn't notice this. They were far to busy dancing, and enjoying themselves.
When the last tone of the song wore out, Seto did the same spin he'd done in the beginning, making Jou end up in his arms, his back pressed against his chest. Jou blushed yet again, but in the low lights, it wasn't detected.
Applauds was heard again, and Jou blushed even deeper. Oh shit, people had been watching them! Trying to do the best of the situation, Jou grinned and bowed his head slightly. Seto just glared at random people. Why did they watch, had they never seen someone dance before?
"Pf, imbeciles..." Seto snorted inside his mind, and glared at another random person, this time a girl who shrieked and hid behind another girl, probably one of her friends.
The boys now decided to have a little rest, and a drink by the snack table, and quickly made their way there. Jou grabbed another Coke, and sat down on a nearby chair. Seto stood next to him, and looked over the room.
Seto wrinkled his nose, while looking at the decoration.
"Who made those decorations anyway?" He asked Jou, just to get a conversation going.
Jou looked up from his Coke, and blinked, before he answered.
"I think that the teachers made them."
Seto snorted.
"When? In 1950?"
Jou blinked once again, and stared at Seto. The corners of his mouthed twitched for a moment, and then he burst out laughing. Seto rose one eyebrow at this and waited for an explanation.
"Seto Kaiba, human ice-cube, cracks a joke!" Jou cried out, and his laugh subdued to light chuckles. "Seriously, how long have ya been holdin' that one in?" Seto glared, without any anger though, and just shook his head.
"You are easy to amuse, puppy." This time, it was Jou's turn to glare.
"Hey, I'm no puppy! How many times do I have to tell ya before ya get it?" Seto chuckled and shook his head.
"You'll always be a puppy in my eyes." Jou sulked and drained the rest of his Coke.
Now, soft music was heard and the lights went low. The couples looked at each other, and asked if they wanted to dance, all with small blushes on their faces. It was the first slow-dance if the evening.
Seto glanced at his puppy. Jou was looking at the couples on the dance floor, and smiled sadly. "How I wish that Seto would ask me to dance with him right now..."
"Want to dance?" Jou looked up, hopefully. But to his great disappointment, it wasn't Seto who stood in front of him. It was another guy, one that Jou had never seen before. He looked really good, well dressed, with black, short hair and sparkling blue eyes. Though not in the same beautiful colour as Seto Kaiba's of course.
"Err, I don't..." Jou didn't get to finish his sentence, because he was pulled up to his feet by the mystery guy.
"Come on then!" Jou opened his mouth to protest, but didn't get the chance of that either. In the next second, he felt his free hand being grabbed by another hand. Jou looked to the side, and found that it was Seto who held his other hand.
The brunette's eyes were sending lightning, as he glared at the guy.
"He's not going anywhere with you. He's my date, find someone else to disturb!" Jou looked at Kaiba, and blushed slightly. Seto was basically telling the guy to buzz off, just because he asked Jou to dance. Well, wasn't that cute?
The black haired guy blinked and stared at Seto for a second, before he smirked viciously.
"Aren't you Seto Kaiba?" Seto glared at him, and pulled Jou's hand a little so the blonde would be closer to him.
"Yes, I am."
The stranger smirked even more.
"Aw, all pretty girls turned you down? Couldn't find anyone better then this guy, a lowlife mutt?" Jou blinked and looked down at the ground. A small blush of embarrassment crossed his cheekbones, and he felt very uneasy.
Seto's eyes narrowed dangerously.
BANG!Jou felt the tight grip on one of his hands disappeared, and he looked up again. To his surprise, the black-haired teen that had insulted him was laying on the floor, holding his nose tightly, tears running from his eyes. Jou's eyes slowly made their way to Seto.
The brunette glared at the guy on the floor with anger fuming from every part of his body. His right fist was clenched tightly, and the knuckles looked a little red.
"If I ever hear you talking badly of Jounouchi Katsuya again, I will beat you up so bad, you'll not know which day of the week it is." And with that, Seto looked at Jou again, and dragged him towards the dance floor again.
"Come on, puppy, lets dance." Jou followed numbly, and stared at the brunettes back. A sly smirk appeared at Jou's lips. "Did Seto just punch a guy for insulting me? Sweet..."
When the boys reached the dance floor, the slow song was already over, but the DJ put on a new one immediately. Jou recognized it; it was 'Have you ever been in love?', by Celine Dion.
Slowly and tenderly, Seto wrapped his arms around Jou, and pulled him close. Immediately, Jou wrapped his arms around the CEO's neck and leaned his forehead on the taller man's shoulder.
Have you ever been in love?You could touch the moonlight
When your heart is shooting stars,
You're holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been so in love?Jou sighed deeply into Seto's neck, making the brunette shiver slightly. The feelings of the other's body against his, made Seto feel very...warm and fuzzy, in lack of other words.
Have you ever walked on air?Ever felt like you were dreaming?
When you never thought it could,
But it really feels that good.
Have you ever been so in love?Slowly, the two boys moved over the dance floor. To them, it felt like their was no other people in the entire world; everything that existed was the other boy's embrace.
Good time I spent
Waiting for something that was heaven sent
When you find it, don't let go.
I know...
Have you ever sung a prayer
And found that it was answered?
All my hopes has been restored
And I'm not looking anymoreHave you ever been so in love? Have you?
For the first time ever, Seto understood the true meaning of feeling like being in heaven. Every time he'd heard that expression, he had dismissed it like romantic nonsense. But now, when he held Jou in his arms, and had those caring arms around his neck, he understood.
Heaven was Jou's embrace.
So pleased that you went leaving
Somewhere you're going to stay
When you finally find the meaning
Have you ever felt this way?
Good time I spent
Waiting for something that was heaven sent.
When you find it, don't let go
I know.
Have you ever been in love?
You could touch the moonlight
You could even reach the stars
Doesn't matter how near or far
Have you ever been so in love?
Have you ever been in love,
Have you ever been in love,
So in love...
The last tone was pulled out in a sweet whisper, and then there was only silence. All around them, dazed teens pulled out of sweet embraces, and looked at each other with loving smiles. Well, Jou looked at Seto with dazed eyes and one of those loving smiles, but Seto looked as unfazed as ever.
Even though that his heart and mind were in seventh heaven by now. And if it was an eighth heaven, he was sure his soul was dancing around there, like a beheaded chicken.
Both boys locked eyes for a few seconds, and then looked to the side with faint blushes staining their cheeks.
Only a few meters away, stood Otogi, casually leaning against a wall. He looked at the couple, and frowned. Jou shouldn't be with that cold hearted jerk, he should be with him, Otogi! "I will make him mine, no matter what!"
The DJ now put on his microphone, with a terrible screeching noise. The students held their ears and cursed loudly at the DJ. The young man raised his hands in apology, and then started to talk.
"Okay, now I don't know what to play, so it's up to you to make wishes for your darlings! Pick their fav song, and maybe you'll be able to call it 'your' song one day! So come on, and make wishes! Leave a message by me, and I'll give it to you sweet-heart!"
The students all looked happy and started to talk amongst themselves. Seto stole a glance at the blonde next to him, and then looked back to the DJ.
"I'll go to the bathroom for a few minutes." Seto said suddenly, and disappeared before Jou could say anything.
Jou stared at the spot the CEO recently had been standing, and blinked. Then he huffed and crossed his arms.
"Nice, real', nice." He muttered. "Jus' leave me here, Kaiba..."
Jou sighed and went to sit down by the snack table again, but stopped in mid-step when the DJ started to talk again.
"So, we have our first wish of the nigh then! It's from Yami to Yugi, and it's the song; 'Truly, madly, deeply'.
Jou looked over the dance floor, and saw Yugi smile happily and being dragged into a sweet hug by his yami. The sweet lyrics of the song started to sound from the speakers, and everyone started to dance to the slow-dance.
Well, except Jou, who went to sit down, since he had no one to dance with.
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasyI'll be your hope,
I'll be your love
Be anything that you need...
I love you more with every breath
Truly, madly deeply do
I will be strong
I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for livingA deeper meaning
Jou smiled. Of course Yami choose that song, it proved everything that he wanted to be for his hikari. Truly, Yugi was one lucky bloke.
I want to stand with you on a mountain I want to bathe with you in the seaI want to live like this, forever
Until the sky falls down over me...
A deep sigh came over Jou's lips, and he watched the couples dance to the song. Yugi looked Yami in the eye through the whole song, and Yami seemed to sing the song quietly to his hikari.
And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish to send it to heaven,
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
Pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
Suddenly, Jou wished deeply that he also could have someone that cared that much for him, that would even risk his own life for him. "Like that Secret Admirer... he seemed like that sort of type." Jou thought to himself, and sighed once again. "But he ended up being a total ass, leaving me alone there in the park..."
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down over me...
Oh, Can you see it baby,
Don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come...
I want to stand with you on a mountain...
When the song was over, Seto came back. He looked like he was deep in thought when he leaned against the wall next to Jou
"Hi, Kaiba!" Jou said, and Seto snapped his head in the blonde's direction. Jou smirked at the brunette, and added; "Sure took ya a long time to come back."
Seto smirked back.
"Well, I tried to escape this horrid place through the toilet-window, but it was too small." Jou growled, but smiled playfully towards the CEO.
The DJ's mike sounded again, and everyone in the room screamed at him. He scratched the back of his head, and laughed uneasily.
"Heh, yeah... anyway. I have another wish, this time from none other then our own ice-cube, Seto Kaiba!" Jou looked at Seto, who looked at his shoes, suddenly finding them highly interesting. Mm-yes, wonderful shoe-polish they make these days, wouldn't you agree?
The DJ continued;
"Okay, this song is for Jounouchi Katsuya, and it's... well, you'll see in a minute when I turn it on, I just have to find it..." And the DJ dived down under his desk.
Jou turned towards Seto, and crossed his arms. The brunette glanced a little upwards, just barely meeting Jou's eyes. Seto was prepared for the blonde to punch him or something, or at least being told that he was stupid, but instead Jou smiled and took his hand. He laughed lightly, and dragged the CEO to the dance floor.
"It better not be 'Who let the dogs out?', Kaiba!" He said as they stopped in a free spot on the floor. Seto smirked and chuckled.
"You know, the thought did cross my mind, pup." Jou growled, but Seto wasn't done. "But then I remembered what day it is, and what it symbolises." Jou blinked and looked up at Seto.
"What-" Seto didn't have to answer the question though, because the DJ had finally found the right record.
"Okay, here we go! Grab your partners, and let's dance. From Seto Kaiba to Jounouchi Katsuya!" Jou looked to his right, and saw Yugi give him thumbs up and a large smile. Jou gave him a large smile back, and waved a little.
Seto looked in the same direction as Jou, but it wasn't Yugi's gaze he met. No, it was the taller and tanned copy he looked at. Yami lifted an eyebrow in his direction, nodded towards Jou, and grinned cheekily. Seto just gave him a cold glare and looked at Jou again.
In the same moment the first beat of the music came, Jou knew what song it was. 'Let me be the one.' Oh, and did Jou love that song? Yes he did.
It was a slow one, and Jou wrapped his arms around the taller boy's neck, and Seto put his arms around Jou's waist. But he kept eye contact with Jou when the song began.
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment, please
To tame your wild, wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
When darkness is upon your door, and
It feels like you can't take anymore...
Jou felt like he was melting in Seto's arms, and under his gaze. Suddenly, Jou realized that Seto was silently singing the lyrics to him. That made Jou blush slightly, and he escaped the other's gaze by leaning his head on the broader shoulder. A soft and content sigh escaped his lips, and he nuzzled closer to the CEO's shoulder.
"I could never imagine that a guy with such a cold heart could be so warm..."
Seto smiled softly, and leaned down towards the other's ear and started singing along to the lyrics very lowly in his ear.
Let me be the one you call
If you jump, I'll break you fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart, I can mend your broken heart
If you need a place to crash and burn you're not aloneJou blushed even deeper, hearing Seto's voice in his ear and feeling his hot breath. Seto had a very beautiful singing voice, deep and strong. And for unknown reasons, slightly husky, in a way that struck Jou's nerves in a pleasant way.
The music was a little faster now, but still a slow-dance.
When you feel all alone
And your loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters within your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and,
You feel like you can't face the day...
Seto closed his eyes and breathed deeply into Jou's ear. He could feel his puppy shiver and suddenly snuggle closer to him. Before continuing his singing, Seto entangled his fingers in the other's soft, silky hair.
Let me be the one you call
If you jump, I'll break you fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart, I can mend your broken heartIf you need a place to crash and burn you're not alone
You're always been hard to contain
And when it's over
You'll play it again.
Let me be the one you call...
The final tones of the music faded, and Seto pulled away from Jou. Smiling slightly, he saw that Jou's cheeks were red and that he looked really nervous. Seto was just about to say something, when Jou turned around.
"Bathroom, I'll be back soon!" And he ran off. Seto blinked and stared after the blonde.
"Weird..." He muttered, and went to sit down by the snack table. Why not try another one of those chocolate-chip cookies, hm?
END CHAPTER!
Okay, so how was that? Too much songs maybe? I'll try to cut it down, but I just love having Jou and Seto dancing slow-dances together... –sigh-
Boy, was this a long chapter? I mean, on my computer it was about 16 pages. But, I hope that it's alright for you ;).
Ah well, review and you'll get a faster update!(Sorry, no prizes this time for the first reviewer.)
