Guess who's back!
Seto: -glares-.
Jou: -glares even harder-
Oh, those guys are still a little angry, because I make them be all...lovey dovey! But hey, I can't help what my imagination wants me to write! My imagination is unstoppable!
Like Anzu's friendship-speeches!
Anzu: -pipes up from a hole in the ground- Friendship?
Me: -grins evilly and takes up a flame-thrower- But, then again, nothing is really unstoppable...
Seto: -- -sigh- I'll just get this story going, while the blonde midget burns Anzu alive...
-screams of pain and agony is heard in the background, mixed with maniac laughter.-
Disclaimer: Yeah, I own nothing concerning Yu-Gi-Oh, nor the songs that are mentioned in this fic. But if I owned Yu-Gi-Oh, there would be alot more Seto/Jou action. Like a gazillion more.
Pairings: Oh, you all know them by now, so I won't bore you by telling you all over again.
Warnings: Boy/boy stuff, and OOC. Maybe some Anzu-bashing, if I have room for it.
-stops burning Anzu for a while.- Oh, before I forget! Thank you everyone that reviewed, I love ya all heaps! And I have over 100 reviews on this story now, la gasp!
Okay, that's all! Let's get the story going! –turns on the flamethrower at full blast again-
Chapter 920:01
School/Gym-room/Toilets
Jou's POV
"Shitshitshitshit..." I mumbled while running in to the boy's bathroom, shutting the door forcefully behind me. I walked up to one of the sink's, and started to splash cold water in my face.
My mind is all foggy, and I feel dizzy. Damn Kaiba for making me feel like this! Before he came along, everything was so simple. Wake up, go to school, keep awake in the lessons. Then hang out with Yugi and the other guy's, go home, stay alive for the rest of the day, then sleep.
But then that bastard just had to pipe up from nowhere, acting like a total jerk and thinking that he was so damn superior. Then he just had to begin with the name-calling, and teasing, even punching me sometimes.
More cold water is splashed in my face, and I try to make the dizziness disappear.
And then, when I finally think I have that cold bastard all figured out, he suddenly start being nice and dance with me! Well, maybe not nice, but at least not rude and mean! Err, well he is still rude and mean, but in a fun and teasing way.
Though, I really like the change.
I sigh and close my eyes.
"Damn you to hell..." I mutter and wipe my face with a paper-towel.
"Well, thank you for the nice welcoming." I blink and turn around quickly, making water-drops spray in every direction from my hair.
Next to the door, leaning comfortably, is Otogi. In this light, he looks really good, and he's smiling teasingly. He looks a little sweaty, probably from dancing. I smile towards him and shake my head.
"I Wasn' talkin' to you, Ryuji." Ryuji smiled and walked up to me. Real close.
Almost a bit too close for comfort.
"I'm glad to hear that, Jou..." Ryuji's voice was quite husky, and very low.
I feel very uneasy, seeing he's only a few inches from my face. And his eyes are quite dazed and sparkly. Slowly, I try to take a step backwards, but find that I'm stuck with my back pressed against the sink behind me.
I start to laugh uneasily, and scratch the back of my head a little.
"Err, Ryuji, ya wouldn't mind to, like, step away a little? It feels like ya gonna..." I swallow. "...kiss me or somethin'..."
Ryuji's eyes sparkle a little more, and he leans even closer. Now, I can feel his breath on my face, and I shudder. "It smells like mint..." Is the only coherent though that makes its way through my mind. Coherent, and coherent by the way...
Only barely one inch from my face, Ryuji stops. He looks me deeply in the eye, and I shudder seeing that his eyes are clouded over.
"If I try to kiss you, will you stop me?" He whisper and look me even deeper in the eye. I can't answer him, because I don't really know the answer. I like Ryuji, but do I like him in that way? I mean, he's nice and everything, and...
My thoughts comes to an abrupt stop, when I feel a pair of warm and soft lips against mine. I feel my eyes go wide and I stare at the black-haired man for a moment, but then my eyelids grow heavy, and I start to respond slowly to the kiss.
Otogi is really gentle, and the kiss is sweet. How can I not fall deeper into it? At the same moment his tongue touch my lips, I open eagerly, giving him full access to my mouth, and wrap my arms around his neck.
Of course, he takes the invitation, without any second though, both of us moaning softly when our tongues meet. I feel two hands on my hips, steadying me, the warmth in my body increasing.
Then, a picture of Seto came into my mind. It's from when we were dancing at the café, the first time I was in his warm embrace. All I could see his absolutely gorgeous eyes, blue as the ocean, cold and distant, but still so very caring. His beautiful face, and that teasing smirk that made me feel so angry, but still so happy.
For unknown reasons, I suddenly feel very guilty, and those lips against mine felt so wrong.
I couldn't do this.
I push Ryuji away, and gasp for air. He looks at me with a very confused look on his face.
"Jou, what-" I interrupt him quickly.
"I'm sorry, Ryuji, but I can't do this. I...I'm...in love with someone else. I like ya', but...I'm really sorry." And with that, I pushed my way past Ryuji, and out through the door. But before I exit, I catch the hurt expression in his eyes.
How I wish I hadn't seen that.
I walked on wobbly legs out to the gym-room, seeing people dance to an upbeat song, a very
good song by Robbie Williams; 'Tripping'. Everyone seemed happy, and I just smiled seeing Ryou and Bakura dance together.
Bakura had no skills, what so ever, in dancing, and Ryou danced like a professional. Ryou laughed really hard at the spirit sometimes, earning himself a glare from Bakura. No one around them dared to laugh, however. It is still in very close memory what happened to the last person who had laughed at Bakura.
He had never been seen by anyone ever again, and Ryou had been really angry with Bakura. And Bakura's punishment had been that Ryou hadn't slept with him for a whole month. At the end of that month, Bakura was reduced to a pleading mass of hornyness, and Ryou had been quite moody. Unfortunately for us, the last day of that month was a school day, and Ryou and Bakura just couldn't wait until school was over...
I'll never forget that poor teacher scream.
I snicker quietly when I see Bakura trip and fall straight on his ass, very fitting thinking about the name of the song that is playing...
My gaze now start to search for Kaiba. Where could that bastard be?
When I see him, my eyes grow wide, and my mouth falls open. The brunette is standing by the snack-table, and he's eating several chocolate-chip cookies in one bite.
I smirk and walk slowly up to the table. Kaiba is to occupied by the cookies to notice me, and I can see that his eyes are shining happily.
My smirk falls a little, and is replaced by a smile. Kaiba looks like a five year old kid on Christmas, his eyes glimmering softly. Seriously, had that kid never had cookies before? Ha, he lied earlier, when he said that the cookies wasn't 'that bad'. He meant, 'they taste like heaven, I'm addicted!'
I decide to put an end to his crazy cookie-munching (I must make sure there's some left for the other kids, right?), and I put a hand on his shoulder.
Seto turns around, and stares at me with very shocked eyes. I snicker, seeing that he has chocolate stains around his mouth. Kaiba looks adorable!
Wow, never though I'd manage to fit in the words 'Kaiba' and 'adorable' in the same sentence.
His eyes goes from me to the cookies in his hands. A small, microscopic blush appears at his cheeks, and he slowly puts the cookies back.
"I...I can explain that. It...The cookies..." He glares at me as I start laughing at his lame attempt of explaining himself.
"So...ya liked the cookies, hm?" I ask and smirk teasingly. I receive a full-scale glare from Kaiba, but I don't feel scared. He would never hurt me...
"Hmpf, they tasted better then I though, alright?" He growled and crossed his arms.
Now, I can't take my eyes off the stains around his mouth. They're annoying me.
"Kaiba, you have chocolate all over yer face." Again, he blush and try to wipe away the chocolate with the backside of his hand. However, all he does is making the chocolate spread. I laugh, and take a paper-napkin from the table.
"Aw, let me help ya with tha', kiddo!" I laugh again, lick at the napkin, and start to wipe away the chocolate around his mouth. For brief seconds, my fingers brush against his lips. And, for the third time in just a few minutes, he blushes. Aw, I just love that cute blush, even if it's only visible for a second or two.
Only when I'm absolutely certain that all the chocolate is gone, I throw away the napkin, and smile towards Seto...
Wait, Seto? Since when do I call him Seto, even if it's only in my mind?
Err, never mind.
"So, wanna dance again?" I ask and lean my head to the side. Se- no, Kaiba shrugs, and grab my hand.
"Sure, come on, puppy."
And with that, Kaiba dragged me to the dance floor, and we waited for a new song to start. Then the DJ decided to use the evil microphone again.
A sharp, ear shattering sound erupts and I hold my ears tight, joining in the angry growls from the rest of the students. Even Kaiba seems annoyed. Though, he'd never let that show.
"Hey, not my fault that the mike is old!" The DJ huffed and shook his head. "Anyway, the teachers of your school has decided to have a waltz tonight..." I, along with many others, groan and throws glares at the DJ. Again, he looks a little uneasy.
"Blame the teachers, not me! Okay, here comes the song, and everyone have to dance, orders from the principal!" And with that, waltz music booms from the speakers.
I sigh, and look at Kaiba under my messy hair. "Kaiba, don' laugh now, but I sorta can't dance waltz..." A sly smirk appears at Kaiba's lips, and he chuckles lightly. "Hey, don' laugh!"
"Silly puppy. I'll teach how to dance waltz." And then, he puts my left hand on his shoulder, and his on my waist. Then he take my right hand in his, and entangle our fingers. Warmth is taking over my senses, and I blush.
Then Kaiba leans down to my ear, and I feel his warm breath tickle the sensitive skin around my ear. "Ah! Why does he have to do thaaaat!" I yell inside my mind, before my brain pick up what Kaiba's saying.
"Waltz is very easy, Katsuya. The only thing you have to do is take a step in one direction, count to three and then move again, in circles. You move in the direction I lead you. Alright? Let's try it now." I nod numbly and make myself ready.
Kaiba takes a step to the right, and I follow easily. He silently count to three, and then move his feet again. Again, I follow, and smile happily. This was easy! Ha, never understand why I couldn't do it before...
Then Kaiba moves again, and I follow wrong, making me step ungracefully on his left foot. I see him make a silent groan, and he glares at me, but not with the same deadliness as he usually does. But still enough to cause a pang in my heart, and I feel embarrassed.
"I said, follow me, puppy. Not crush my toes." I blush deeply, and bow my head a little.
"Sorry." I mutter and try to follow again. Silence falls over the two of us, and I hear the brunet sigh. Then Kaiba leans down to me and whisper in my ear;
"Don't look down like that, I can't see your eyes, and that is a pity." I look up slightly again, to meet his gaze. His eyes are softer then usual, and he even smiles a little. I think. It's hard to tell when Kaiba is smiling.
The dance go on, and Kaiba refuse to break our eye-contact. Shivers float down my spine, but I can't make myself tear away my gaze. They're magnetic, his eyes. And so beautiful. Like sapphires in the sun. Not that I've ever seen a sapphire, but still...
Another low growl suddenly comes from his lips, and he makes a sour face.
"What did I say about stepping on my toes, pup?" He says, with a laugh hidden in his voice. I glare at him, and try to focus on my feet.
I take back what I said earlier, waltz isn't, at all, easy.
Soon, fortunately for Kaiba's toes, the waltz is over, and I hear many satisfied sighs from people around me. Also, you can hear the relieved voice from Ryou over the crowd.
"Thank God, my toes were about to die!" Low snickers is heard from random people, and I laugh out loud. Even Kaiba chuckle a little, but that's probably because someone is in pain.
And the microphone screech is back to hunt us all.
"Alright, the waltz's over, now lets get some real music on!" He shouts and drag up a new CD and put it in. "Dance like the wind, everybody!"
And heavy beats come out of the speakers, and everyone started to dance again. I smile, 'cause this is my territory! My body falls naturally into the rhythm, and the dance consume me. Now I move without making any mistakes with my feet.
I let my gaze wander to Kaiba. He's looking at me, with eyes full of...an emotion I don't recognize from his eyes. Therefore I can't say what it is.
When our eyes met, Kaiba makes a small mistake, resulting in him tripping slightly, but only so little that he just lose the beat. He have to stop for a second, and then he starts dancing again, this time he moves closer to me at every step, with a new glint in his eyes.
I gulp. Maybe he thinks it was my fault that he had to stop. Oh God, please have mercy with me! Seto Kaiba is to take revenge on me!
At every step he takes closer, I take one back, but still manage to make it look like I'm dancing. A sly smirk appears at Kaiba's lips, and he moves closer again. Seriously, it wasn't my fault that he can't look someone in the eye and dance at the same time! Oh man, I'm in such trouble...
Ouch!
Woopsy, daisy. I just danced/backed into someone. "Sorry, dude!" I say and continue to back/dance away from Kaiba. The guy glares at me, but then leave me alone. My focus goes back to Kaiba...
He's not there.
I stop, now very confused, and look around myself. There's a hell lot of people around me, but no Kaiba. Where the hell did he go? I mean, there's not very many places to disappear to, and...
Two arms wrap themselves around my waist, and a low whisper is heard in my ear.
"Got'ya, puppy." I blush and tear myself from the grip, turning around in the next second. And there, only one feet away from me, stands Kaiba, looking very pleased with himself.
I glare half heartily at him and cross my arms.
"Wha' did I do to ya, making ya so ticked, Kaiba?" Kaiba raise an eyebrow to me, and smirks.
"I have no idea of what you speak, puppy." A small huff escapes me, and I turn my back to him.
Big mistake.
Two arms wrap themselves around me again, and warm air tickles my ear. Oh, why does he have to do that!
"I never said that you ticked me off, puppy. Maybe I simply wanted to get closer to you. Did that thought cross your mind?"
Oh, I wish that was true...
"Shuddup." I mumble and pull away again.
Two hours later/22:25 Normal POVJou smiled towards Seto, while they walked out of the building. Jou had never had such a fun evening at Valentine, and never ever enjoyed a school dance more.
Seto had the same thought. Though, he'd never been at the school dances for more then five minutes. But being with Jounouchi at a dance...well, that beat about everything.
Outside, the night was chilly, but stars shone brightly in the sky. It made him think of the song 'Truly, Madly, Deeply', that he heard earlier that evening. He smiled softly and looked down at the ground, standing next to Seto's limo on the sidewalk.
"Well, Kaiba... I guess I'll see ya later, or somethin'?" He said and glanced upwards to Kaiba's eyes. The ocean/sapphire/ice eyes looked confused.
"What? I'm driving you home in the limo, pup! I'm not letting a little puppy out on the street by itself..." Seto smirked, hearing Jou growl and kick a pebble.
"Especially not my puppy." Seto added inside his mind.
"I'm no puppy. And I think I'll walk home, it's a nice evening, after all." And that was true. It wasn't often you got to see the stars so brightly in a city. And even though it was cold, it still was very nice, seeing that the air was fresh and clear and...
Seto bent down and touched his cheek with soft fingers. Jou blushed brightly, and almost didn't dare to look into those beautiful eyes. For a second, the blonde was certain that Seto was going to kiss him. Their lips were so close...
Seto straightened his back again, and opened the limo door. Disappointment filled Jou, and he turned away. Damn, for a second he'd thought...Ah well, he should get going then, if he wanted to be home before midnight...
Then he felt a soft hand on his shoulder, and he looked to the side. Seto stood next to him, with something that looked like a smile on his lips, but Jou could be mistaking.
"If you insist on walking, I'll go with you. As you said, it is a very beautiful night." Jou's face lit up, and a bright and true smile graced his face. Seto was certain that he'd never seen something so beautiful.
"You'd do tha'?" He asked, and blushed hearing how hopeful he sounded. Seto chuckled deeply, and started walking. "For you, of course. Now come on, puppy."
Jou happily walked next to Seto, although he had to walk quite fast to follow the taller teen's long strides. After a few minutes, he decided that Seto walked too fast. If he kept that pace up, they'd be at home in only fifteen minutes, maybe less!
"Yo, Kaiba slow down! Mokuba's right, ya walk too fast!" Seto glared, but he did slow down his walking, to a pace that allowed Jou to walk comfortably and slow next to him.
That way, he could spend more time with his puppy.
It wasn't much talking at first. Neither of the boys knew what to speak of, so they walked in silence. Though, the silence was eating Jou up inside. He wanted to talk to Seto, maybe even make the CEO amused. But he couldn't think of anything to say...
A shiver travelled through Jou's body, and another before the first was over. The night was cold, and Jou's jacket wasn't that warm. Neither was the shirt nor the pants. With shaking hands, Jou buttoned the last buttons in his shirt, and closed his jacket. Not that it helped, he was still cold.
Seto noticed how cold Jou was, and it made his heart wrench seeing him shiver of cold. Imagine a shivering puppy, that just pleaded for you to warm it. So, the CEO did the only thing that came to his mind;
Seto put one arm around Jou's shoulder and pulled him close to himself, in order to share his body heat with the blonde. Jou stiffened at that, and glanced up at Seto. A faint blush covered the blondes cheeks.
"Kaiba, wha'..." Seto interrupted him swiftly, trying to save his face.
"You're cold, pup. And I don't want you to catch pneumonia on my account." Jou nodded and, after a few seconds of hesitation, put his arm around Seto's slim waist. At that, Seto smiled softly, and looked down at Jou. The blonde looked down at the ground, and mumbled;
"Well, I don' want ya to catch anythin' either, Kaiba." Then Jou snickered and looked up at him. "But hey, coldness should only make ya feel better, ya ice cube!" Seto glared, and Jou snickered again.
Now, the silence between them wasn't at all uncomfortable. It was almost a bliss, just listening to the other's smooth breathing and steady heartbeats. Relaxing, Jou leaned his head against the taller one's shoulder, and sighed.
Seto glanced at Jou, before he pulled him a little closer, and draw a deep breath. Jou smelled like apples, probably some scented shampoo. Seto heard Jou sigh one more time, so the CEO guessed that the blond was tired. And he was right, Jou was tired.
But even though tiredness was sweeping through him, Jou couldn't get one question out of his head, that had nagged him for a while, since the dance started. So, he asked it.
"Why did ya ask me to the dance, Kaiba? I mean, ya could've had anyone." Seto was quiet for a few moments, considering this. His eyes was very soft when he answered, but Jou couldn't see that.
"I didn't want to go with anyone. I wanted to be with you." This answer made Jou confused. It didn't make any sense at all, and didn't really answer his question.
"But, why?" Another pause came from Seto. Then a very low mumble.
"I already told you; I want to be with you." Jou didn't fully understand this. It almost sounded like Seto meant... A blush crept up Jou's face. No, that couldn't be it. Seto couldn't possibly...want him to be his?
Sensing that Jou was about to ask what he meant, Seto shoot a question of his own;
"Why did you agree on going with me, Katsuya? You could have gone with Otogi, or one of those girls who sent cards to you. I can't imagine I was your first choice..." Seto sounded
quite sad as he said this.
Jou's answer came fast, and quite stressed.
"Because I wanted to go with you. Ya know, get to know ya better, and stuff. I wanted to see where it could lead. 'Sides, we got along very good in tha' café, remember?" Seto nodded slowly, remembering that very clear. Now, Jou snickered and looked up again.
"Ya know, we could go there again. Maybe we can have some chocolate-chip cookies..." Seto glared at him, and squeezed his shoulder playfully. "Oh, shuddup." He mumbled, making Jou laugh lightly.
That laugh was angelic music to Seto's ears.
30 minutes later...
Soon, far to soon for Seto's liking, they reached Jou's apartment. It looked really cheap, and Seto wrinkled his nose slightly for a second. It was a three-store building, with a door that opened for a number-code. The painting on the walls peeled off in some places, and no one seemed to care about fixing it.
Around this building, there was many more buildings, looking exactly like Jou's.
Jou blushed, feeling embarrassed about his poor home. Slowly, Jou made his way to the door, and turned to Seto with a faint smile.
"Well, thanks fer walkin' me home, Kaiba. I was really nice. And I enjoyed your company at the dance, ya know..." Seto smiled and walked up close. He didn't stop until their chests almost touched.
"I enjoyed the evening too, Katsuya. The company was excellent." Jou blushed and looked to the side, with a slight grin. His hair fell over his face, covering his eyes messily.
Seto frowned and with a soft hand brushed away the silken strands. Jou blushed even worse, and looked up slowly into soft, blue eyes. The brunette looked a little dazed, and his hand was still on Jou's cheek. He started to speak with a soft voice, making Jou feel slightly dazed.
"You shouldn't hide your eyes, Katsuya. They are far too beautiful for that." He paused. Then added with an even softer voice. "Just as the rest of your face."
Those beautiful words went straight to Jou's heart, and he smiled softly. Seto stroke the soft cheek with tender care, and let the tips of his fingers trail the rest of Jou's face along with his eyes, to finally stop on Jou's lips.
Their eyes met.
Slowly, Seto bent down towards Jounouchi, his eyes drifting closed the closer he got. Jou's blush emerged again, fully aware of what Seto was going to do. The most sane thing to do would be to push him back, but...
Jou's eyes slid shut in the same moment Seto's lips met his.
End Chapter!
