He could feel Jou's breathing, his inhales and exhales. He could feel Jou's warmth through their clothes, so nice. He could bury his face into Jou's hair and smell his scent. This was so… so…
SO NOT RIGHT.
Instantly Seto let Jou go and the blond - who had been supported by those arms the whole time - fell onto the floor. Again. How many times had that been today?
Jou hit the floor and let out a wince. He immediately shot his head up and glared at the brunet. "What the hell was that about!" he yelled at Seto.
"Well, I am a bastard right?" Seto said, and he plastered his infamous smirk on his face. He would not let those stupid teenage hormones get the better of him. No, Mokuba would think of something to solve that problem.
Seto picked up his laptop - that had fallen on the floor, during the process that he had to block Jou's attack - and he opened it, all the while pretending that he was ignoring the blond. He started typing away, hoping that Jou would just drop the subject.
But unfortunately the pup had other plans in store. Jou got up from the floor and pushed the off-button from the laptop. The screen went dark. Slowly Seto looked up; right into honey brown glaring daggers. Out of self-defence Seto's eyes hardened and he glared right back at Jou. "Don't touch my laptop, Mutt."
Jou sniggered. "Funny, I thought we had to stop insulting each other, in order to communicate."
"You want communication?" Seto sneered. "Then let's talk. Do you have any subject to bring up?"
"Sure." Jou let himself plop down on the backseat and as he settled down he crossed his arms. He turned his head a bit so he could face Seto, his eyes still burning in anger. "So tell me, why are you such a bastard again?"
Seto opened his laptop again and he opened a file. While he was working he answered: "I was born that way."
"Bullshit!" Jou spat. "And don't use that damn laptop to avoid talking to me!"
This time it was Seto himself who slammed the piece of technology shut. "Who said I was avoiding you!" he yelled back. Okay, maybe he was, but he wasn't about to admit it to some dog.
"Then put it away," Jou ordered in an icy voice.
"Fine." And Seto did as he had been told. He wouldn't let Jou beat him out of the field. Inwardly Seto sighed. Why were they always fighting again? Oh right, because they were archenemies. Seto was glad that his driver was partially deaf. That way, he couldn't hear all the arguments behind in the backseat.
"Look," Jou started again, this time a bit more calm. "You're not always an asshole, so why are you so bad to me?"
"Because I want to be," Seto answered.
It was, in some sort of crazy way, true. He had no real reason to bitch at Jou and still he did it every time the two crossed each other's paths. He always said, that it was because Jou was an air headed idiot with no duelling skills and no dignity either. But it was obvious to all people, that those were the lamest excuses ever. The thing was, he couldn't make up any better reasons, because there were no better reasons. In fact, there were no reasons at all.
"I'm not joking, Kaiba…" Jou growled. "I'm sick and tired of you every time pulling shit on with me. I want a fair answer. What did I ever do to you?"
"You didn't do anything," Seto answered honestly. "I just…"
He just what? What could he say? He didn't have any proper answer as to why he made fun of Jou all the time. Jou never did anything to him. He just… it was just an entertaining sight to make Jou angry. It was fun to watch him get all pissed off. It was fun to see how his friends had to hold him back every time he wanted to chop Seto's head off.
Seto took a deep breathe, before continuing. Jou deserved to know. "I like to tease you."
And indeed, Jou was quite surprised. "You… you like to tease me? Tease me? You…"
He didn't know how to respond. His archenemy liked to tease him. Everything was just teasing. He went crazy because of some fucking teasing! And why did the words 'like' and 'tease' sound so wrong in the same sentence anyway?
Some words that Serenity had said to him long ago suddenly came up in Jou's mind. The thought alone gave his cheeks an interesting colour.
"Uhm… You've never heard of the words: You tease the person you like. Kaiba?"
Okay, that was a big smack in Seto's face to say the least. Huge fitted even better. Jounouchi was NOT implying that, right? You tease the person you like? Like, was too close to that be-damned other L-word, that Seto Kaiba feared so much.
But wait… Jou was implying it. Not Seto himself. Then was Jou… Did Jou perhaps want him to…
"Are you saying that you want me to like you?" Seto asked in a tone that said: 'What on earth have you been smoking?'
Jou's head immediately snapped up at those words. "WHAT! What the fuck are you talking about!"
"Well you said-"
"YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN CEO-MIND, SETO KAIBA!" Jou yelled and he immediately began to sum up all the reasons of why he didn't want Seto to like him.
Seto raised an eyebrow. Jou sure had a lot of so called reasons of why he didn't want him to like him. Ten went by… twenty… thirty…
"Jou," he mumbled quietly. "Denying is confessing."
And that was Jou's cue to shut up. His mouth hung open in mid-sentence but no word came out. He just sat there gaping at Seto, mind suddenly a blank sheet. After a few moment, his brains seemed to react again and his mouth snapped shut. He let out a last huff and turned around to ignore Seto.
Seto rolled his eyes. "I thought you wanted to communicate," he muttered.
And for the rest of the ride it was silent in the car.
JOUNOUCHI'S POV:
I hate Moneybags. I honestly hate him. Him and his smart remarks. I swear his life had been made to destroy mine.
You don't believe me? Well, here's the prove.
First he makes me all pissed off. Then he calms me down. And when he's succeeded, he drops me on purspose and then starts making me angry all over again. And he yells at me too. He's a goddamn spoiled CEO-brat; that's what he is!
And still… fate just keeps toying with the two of us. We were so obvious enemies. Disgust for each other seemed to flare all over us whenever we encountered with one another. But after today's so-called work, I'm not that sure about it anymore.
You want to know what happened? Well…
Okay, I guess I can give you a peek in my mind.
