Wow, I just keep coming out with these chapters, huh? Well, as you can tell, this is my favorite fic out of the other two and I want to keep going and make it the BEST FIC EVER! So, without further ado, CHAPTER SIX!

Chapter Six: Frost

Yugi hosted the yearly Christmas Eve's Eve party. The day before Christmas Eve, the gang would all meet together to have their own Christmas party. They could bring whoever they wanted and they could bring gifts.

Honda knocked on Yugi's door with a bag of presents and Shizuka. Jou had a date with Kaiba that same afternoon and they'd show up later that night. So, being the nice guy he was, Honda offered to take Shizuka to the party. Shizuka was more than happy to accept.

It was Ryou who opened the door and he greeted the two with a wide smile, "Oh! Hello." He invited them inside the warm home. "Honda and Shizuka are here everyone!" he called out to the group in the living room. He walked back into the party with Honda and Shizuka close behind him.

Everyone greeted the new people warmly; saying their usual "Merry Christmas". Honda was half at the party. His mind was set on looking for Seto. Though, as he scanned the room, he knew he and Jou had yet to arrive.

"Do you want a soda or something, Honda?" Shizuka offered, about ready to get her own.

Honda took a seat on the couch, "No thanks." He said, offering her a polite smile. She had nodded and smiled back, walking off to the kitchen where the snacks were kept.

The party was a little boring for Honda. If he wasn't opening presents from people, he watched the window that exposed people coming towards the front door. Honda waited patiently for Kaiba, his eyes barely leaving that window.

Yugi came by with a bowl of chips about an hour into the event. He offered them to Honda and smiled, "Do you want to play a video game or something, Honda? You look a little bored."

Honda pushed the bowl away, "Nah I'm good."

"You sure?"

"Yea, thanks." He bit his lip, watching the window out of the corner of his eye. He didn't even see Yugi leave.

It took another whole hour for Honda to see figures walking outside the window. One was tall and strolled somewhat quickly while the other clung desperately to the other's arm, already looking like he had a smile on his face. Honda jumped out of his seat, surprising a couple people. He went to the front door and took a deep breath, waiting for the knock. Okay…be cool.

There was a quick knock, strong but not overly loud. Honda opened the door and smiled, "Merry Christmas." He said.

Seto Kaiba and Jounouchi Katsuya were standing there with two bags in tow. Jou hugged Honda, acting like he was king of the world while Seto only let the corner of his lips turn up. Honda didn't care; Seto was still absolutely beautiful.

The two entered the party, removing their jackets and scarves before stepping into the living room with their hands held tight. Honda watched from behind, hearing everyone notice they were in the doorway.

"Hey Guys!"

"Merry Christmas!"

"What took you guys?"

Jou laughed a little, "Seto was being grumpy and wouldn't leave his office."

Seto looked bemused, "You told me not to work through Christmas so I had to do it today. Don't point the finger at me when it took you the two hours to get ready. Procrastinator." He added with a smirk.

Jou's smile hadn't left his face, "Yea, but don't the presents look good? I wrapped them myself." He beamed with pride.

Honda could just imagine Seto rolling his eyes. He bit his lip and smoothed out his shirt. The feeling of someone's eyes on him made him shiver and he turned around, "Otogi." He said, knowing all too well.

The boy hadn't changed much. He still smirked at Honda, sipping his soda smoothly, "Don't you owe me an apology?"

Honda noticed there was still a little bruise from where he had hit him. He raised an eyebrow, "For giving you a well deserved punch? I don't think so." He glanced over as Seto walked into the living room and sat where Honda had been only several minutes before. Son of a bitch!

Otogi saw Honda's stare, "I haven't told anybody, Honda." He walked a little closer, grabbing Honda and running his tongue up his neck. He whispered in his ear, "Maybe I should tell everyone as a…Christmas surprise." He smirked, snaking a hand around Honda's waist.

"Get the fuck away from me, man." Honda said, shoving Otogi away from him, "I told you no and I meant it. It's not worth it to keep it a secret if I have to be your freaking sex slave. No way." He scowled, pure anger burning from his eyes, "There's millions of other people out there you can be with. Why me?"

He was surprised to find Otogi's usually sparkling eyes had dimmed and his soda went on the counter behind them. He stared down at the floor and took a deep breath before looking back at Honda, "I'm going to tell you a secret and, trust me, it'll make up for the Christmas present I didn't get you." He smiled a little bit.

Honda's nodded, waiting for whatever Otogi had to say. There was nothinghe could say that would change his mind about him; nothing in a million years.

Otogi took another deep breath, "I don't love you." He started.

Honda didn't understand, "Then why the hell are you trying so hard to get in my pants?"

"I love someone else…a lot." Otogi continued, "I can't have him though. I decided to be with you because I thought we had something in common and maybe…maybe we could have comfort in knowing that we weren't alone in the world. At least, that's how I looked at it."

The other boy's eyebrows went up. Was this the same Otogi that he had seen ten minutes later? The sexy, smooth, devious Otogi acting like a school girl on Valentine's Day? Honda was beyond surprised.

Swallowing hard, Otogi confessed, "I love Jou."

It all makes sense now, Honda thought. He needed to grip the kitchen table to stay standing. In about three seconds he knew he woud collaspe.He gasped, "No way." his jaw didn't close.

Otogi nodded slowly, "Pretty much since I met him." He looked up at Honda, "I figured, since you and Kaiba…you'd need somebody to take your frustrations out on and I thought I should be that person. It only seemed fitting."

Honda shook his head, "Then why the hell didn't you just say this earlier instead of trying to seduce me?"

"I didn't want to seem stupid. I thought if I just lead you on and pretended I loved you…it would be my own secret knowing that the only thing I wanted from you is comfort."

"So you were going to use me?" Honda's eyes narrowed.

"… Yes." Otogi admitted, but he added quickly, "Even though I knew you didn't love me, I would have been okay with that."

"Wow." Honda said without thinking, shaking his head, "This is so fucked up."

"I'm sorry." The gamer held himself, "I didn't mean for you to get pissed at me and…when you hit me…" he shuddered, "I didn't…I'm sorry." He buried his face in his hands.

Eyes wide, Honda leaned over, holding his friend tight, "No, I'm sorry. I was being stupid."

"I tricked you!" Otogi said into Honda's shoulder, "I tricked you and I feel so dirty about it."

Biting his lip, the taller one took a deep sigh, "Otogi…if I believed what you were saying, went with you, and did what I know you want…it would ruin everything I have ever planned on doing with my life." Honda let go of Otogi enough to lift his chin up with his finger, "I'm a virgin." He said softly, moving the other's raven bangs out of their face, "I want to be with Kaiba so much, I'm willing to wait for him. Do you understand?" he felt like he was talking to a seven year old.

With a little sniffle, Otogi nodded, "Yes. I'm sorry." He fixed his shirt a little, "I should have known."

"You want to go back to the party?" Honda changed the subject, deciding it was best. Besides, he wanted his seat on the couch back.

The other boy nodded again, tugging a piece of his hair behind his ear, "I'm going to wash my face and I'll be back in." he slipped past Honda but not before planting a gentle kiss on his lips, "Merry Christmas." He smiled sadly before walking into the living room and down the hallway.

Honda sighed, turning around to see nobody had noticed Honda had left. He saw that Yami and Jou had started up the video games and Ryou was discussing something with Shizuka and his own yami…sort of. He sighed and looked over at Seto only to find out, he was looking right back at him.

"Um." Honda said, fidgeting a little bit as he noticed Seto's stare. He waved a little bit and blushed. Seto had smirked, nodding his head to say 'come over here'. Honda was shocked but did as he was asked, appearing in front of Seto not too long after.

Seto stood from the seat in the couch and said, "Maybe you should start labeling your seats with your name?" he crossed his arms and continued to smirk down at Honda.

The other boy looked away, "Maybe so."

Seto glanced to the front door, "Come with me." He said quietly, only so he would hear. He grabbed his jacket and opened the door. Honda's eyes went wide. What was the billionaire implying?

"Where are you going, Set-kun?" Jou asked, not looking away from the game. He was actually in the lead.

Seto's smirk faded, "… Just to get the other presents out of the car."Jou said, "Okay." and that was that. Seto glanced back over at Honda to see if the boy was coming.

Honda nodded, grabbing his jacket too, "I'm going to help." He said quickly, knowing that people were watching them now. He put his jacket on tightly, following Seto outside. He saw Otogi grin a little bit.

The two stood in front of the door, their breath coming out in little white puffs. Honda waited shyly, wondering what the other man was up to. He looked up as said quietly, "Yes?"

"How is work going?" Seto asked with his gaze on his car parked on the street.

Of all the things to say! Honda sighed and shrugged, "It's going well."

"No complaints?"

"None." Honda shook his head.

"Not even your boss."

"I like my boss." Honda said a little too quickly. His eyes went a little wide. After Mitsumura and Hiroyuki, Kaiba was his boss.

"All of them?" he asked with a little amusement in his tone.

Honda suddenly felt trapped. He blurted out, "If you wanted to know about work, you could have asked me inside, you know?" he suddenly gasped and looked away. What a stupid thing to say! Fear came over Honda. Did you just blow it?

Seto actually laughed a little bit, "You're smarter than Jou is sometimes." Finally, Seto had mentioned something about his boyfriend. Honda was less than amused. Though, the blue eyed boy cleared his throat andstood there for a couple minutes. He suddenlyspoke up, lookingout the street,"You want to take a ride?"

"Where?" Honda asked, again surprised by Seto's actions. This man is so unpredictable. His attraction was quickly growing by the minute.

"Anywhere." Seto shrugged, taking the keys out of his pocket.

Honda couldn't think of any place to be. He shook his head as the thoughts of finally seeing the Kaiba estate came floating into his mind. He bit his lip and said, "I don't know where to go."

"We could always go to my place. Mokuba's at a different party." Seto walked towards his car. He smirked back at Honda, "Only if you want to."

Oh how I want to. Honda almost melted onto the sidewalk. He suddenly peered back at the party through the window, "Wait, won't they notice we're gone?"

"Does it matter? I'll think of something." Seto jingled the keys in his hand, "Last chance."

It was now or never. Honda had to make a decision. Should he just bit his lip and go for it or should he chicken out and miss the one shot he ever had to being alone with Kaiba…let alone in his house. He took a deep breath, taking one last look at the party. Jou was deeply absorbed in the game. Apparently, he had vowed to beat Yami before the night was out. He put his hands into his pocket and walked up to Seto with the burning look of determination in his eyes.

Seto nodded, chuckling a little through his nose. He removed his scarf and placed it around the other's neck, "Merry Christmas, Honda." He said before climbing into his car and starting it up.

Honda blinked, looking down at the scarf. He had been too stunned to refuse. He blushed and opened his door to the car, climbing inside. He smiled and watched Yugi's house grow smaller and smaller through the rear view mirror as the car drive farther down the street.

Merry Christmas, Seto.

I KNOW! CLIFFHANGER! I'M SORRY! Though, with the rate I've been updating, you'll find out what the hell happens next soon enough.

Otogi and Honda are friends now? When did this happen? All well. Ooh and Seto's bring Honda home. I wonder what will happen there. Well, I guess that's for no one to know and for me to figure out. Haha Honestly, I have really no idea. Later!
