When All Else Fails, Chapter 3

"I dream, therefore I exist."

J. August Strindberg

OoO

'I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad.

I got sunshine, in a bag,

I'm useless, but not for long.

The future, is coming on.'

He nodded his blonde head to the music absent-mindedly, fingers barely snapping at his side as he continued walking across the streets and past others. Not a glance towards them as he moved his lips to form the words, and he almost smiled at his ignored place in the world. That was the good thing about living down town, in the bad parts- No one cared what you were doing, or what you did. You were just another poor sap that ended up on the wrong side of the train track.

Continuing towards the lights that marked he was halfway to school, and stopping the song slowly as it came to an end, honey brown eyes scanned the street quickly to see if there was any cars coming towards the intersection. There were only two. A ratty old truck (Something he could probably afford after a year of working at a joint of some kind), and a really, really nice, sleek, black Ferrari. Something he would never, ever be able to afford, no doubt. And it was with a growing dread, he realized, that that Godly car probably belonged to a certain someone, who owned a big ass company and that practically screamed 'I'm better then you! Grovel, mere mortal!', he knew.

Letting out a half-muffled yelp as he tried to get out of the sight of the supposed Seto Kaiba, he dove into the shop nearest to him, opening the battered door violently with a big 'bang!' to enter the store. He ducked behind some stacks of magazines that were in sight of the window, and looked carefully out at the barely visible Ferrari. He silently made a prayer to any God available that Seto Kaiba had not seen him, had not even thought about him this morning. And to let the traffic light change. He really wanted to get out of this ugly old store, out from behind this rickety old rack of…

The blonde quickly looked at the cover of one of the magazines, hand coming up the flimsy spine to get a better look in the dim light. He swore his heart stopped as he looked at the girl with the see through tank top, breasts pressed tightly against the fabric as she made a flirty pose, leaning forward with a kiss on her hand. This was… This was a…

"Hey, cutie. Ain't ya a lil' too young to be here? I don't mind, o'course…" A raspy purr sounded behind him, interrupting his conclusion, as a hand came to rest on the small of his back, freaking out Jou enough to cause him an ulcer. "How old are ya, exactly, cutie?"

He whipped around as the hand almost ventured lower, body no longer paralyzed as he looked at the man… Woman… Person with a wrecked smirk on their face. The eyes were heavily layered with make-up (that looked horrible and misplaced on the creature, Jou noticed in fear), and it was wearing a spandex shirt and short-shorts. The magazine was still clutched in his white-knuckled hand as he stared in morbid fear, and the… Person caught sight of it.

"The strong and silent type, eh? Oh, and that's a good one. Has lots of… Images worthy of jacking off too." A shrieking laugh emitted from 'the thing's' mouth as it grinned lecherously at him, hand venturing to grab the magazine.

The laugh was like a trigger for Jou, like when you were sitting in a dark room, hand on the doorknob listening for any sound, then something crashed and you had a reaction that would probably make you out to be a scared shit face.

Jou bolted.

Pulling the door practically off it's hinges as he tried getting away, he distinctly heard a loud, unfeminine shout that was deaf to his ears. He had to get away from that thing! That thing was scary! It was fucking horrid to stare at It! The It lurking in a porn shop!

He ran across the street without a glance towards anything, almost swearing too loudly as a car almost bumped into him, distinctly having the reflex to turn around and kick the bumper harshly, before continuing across the street, a look of disgust etched into his features as he tried getting the bad imagery of the Thing out of his now damaged mind. That Thing would haunt his nightmares.

After running a full five blocks (And hardly out of breathe. Damn, he was in good shape. He had the sexy body to prove it!), he slowed down into a casual walk, face impassive as only wisps of that Thing were in his mind now. At least that was done. And since he had ran, he wouldn't be late-late-late for school. Just a bit, in time for the warning bell, maybe.

It was only then that he noticed he still had the porn magazine clutched tightly in his hand.

-------------------------------------------------------------Y

His head was held in his hand once again as he stared in bored fashion at the chalk board, with all those numbers and signs and shit written across them that he wouldn't understand to easily. God, he hated this stuff. He hated math, period. He liked playing the games with Yug' and Honda (1), when the term marks came in, sure, but that was only because it was for his fun. Not the sensei's. The sensei could just laugh at his poor grades if she wanted. Just as long as she gave him a passing grade.

Another sigh as he listened dully, just for a split second, at the happy voice of the brunette in front. God, that woman was a ditz. All she did was yell and declare peace and love, while birds and such danced around her with enough sunlight to blind a blind man even more. She was annoying, sure, but she at least was a little nice. He just over exaggerated on the 'laughing at his grades' part. She'd probably get him a tutor.

Having a nervous thought that it would probably be Seto Kaiba, mister I-have-a-stick-up-my-ass Kaiba, he jotted down something that would probably effect him in the future, with a test or something. She had this big, over exaggerated voice when she was talking about something that would be on a test, practically sticking a bright, orange sticker that read 'Look at me! I'm on a test! Write me down!'. He noticed with no fascination whatsoever, that most of the students had taken down what she had just said. Except Anzu. She was dutifully taking down all notes, hand flitting across the page quickly in an effort to capture all the words flowing from their sensei's mouth. Ah, teacher's pet Anzu. He could always count on her if he had missed anything.

Finishing taking down the oh-so-important test note, Jou drifted back to his thoughts of this morning, the anger lurking deep in his heart licking slightly at his mind. He had been having a bad, bad week. That was fucking sure. First, the detention. Second, the fat man. Third, being molested by Kaiba (Something he would never speak of again, only because that would probably cause another bout of sexual frustration, aimed at him, by the CEO). Fourth, the porn shop. And finally, fifth, finding out that he had gone through the 'little shop of pornographic horrors', as he dubbed it, for nothing. Simply because the black Ferrari, which had caused all his horror, wasn't Fucking Kaiba's.

The blonde wished he had found that out by any other means. Or by no means at all, by not finding out at all. But he had. Unfortunately. He had even saw Kaiba with his own two eyes before he had pieced two and two together. After getting out some images of 'his master', he could do with out.

He had just been getting rid of the magazine that he had stolen (He had taken a peek shamelessly, and found a very nice picture. He took that one), and had only walked a block to make a discovery at the next biggest intersection. A discovery that was wearing a helmet and was straddling a motorcycle.

He had drooled at first, of course, because the guy was wearing a tight, blue uniform of some kind that clung in all the right places (A very nice view of a very, equally nice ass), and it had provided Jou with some very pleasing images of the guy in his dreams, face shadowed, with much less on. That was before he noticed that it was his school uniform. And that the guy had a "KC" thingie on the back of his motorcycle. It only took Jou a second to figure out who it was.

Seto fucking Kaiba.

God, he hated uniforms now. Especially the gym ones, once he thought about it. Sure, he had a chance to drool at the girls with tight shirts and short-short-shorts, and also at the guys with spandex and tight shirts. Nothing to the imagination? Definitely. Something he would probably have wet dreams over if that position wasn't already fulfilled? Of course. But he still hated them. Others got a view of him, too. But he tended to look at the good side of it. The wonders of being bi, having a sexy body, and hormones.

But back to the point. Kaiba straddling a motorcycle. Very drool worthy. But it was Kaiba. And that poisoned his mind, ruining all images that would fit nicely into that position. It was KAIBA, for God's sake! But just before the guy sped off in his own unique, arrogant way, he still couldn't resist a pleasing view of Kaiba's backside.

Oh, the horrors of being bi, having a body that reacted at the littlest things, and hormones.

He sighed happily as the bell rang, effectively ending his dangerous thoughts and signaling first period being over. Today was going by slowly, and he hoped, desperately, that he could get through the week with out mutilating himself or another (By another, he hoped he meant Kaiba). But he seriously doubted it.

And, God, it was only Tuesday.

------------------------------------------------------------------------Y

"No… Not here… We'll get caught…" He wiggled uselessly under the body pinning him to the wall, the man's hands roaming up his shirt and teasing his nipples lightly as a warm mouth kissed and nipped a way down his throat mischievously.

"I don't care, Jou-pet. I want to see you moan right now, maybe even scream my name, hn? It was your fault you had your pants undone already to… Cause the impulse." The deep voice stated softly as one hand took itself out of his shirt, only to start groping him expertly.

"But… Nnn… We could get suspended…" A moan finally tore his way out of throat as he found out that a hand had entered the back of his already undone pants and had slipped a finger inside of him teasingly. He didn't want this to happen here! They'd be caught! Then the principal would be wondering why he and another, very male student had been doing 'unnecessary activities' in the men's bathroom.

The men's bathroom, for God's sake.

"Hn. Hasn't stopped you from getting into trouble before, puppy…" Another finger was inserted, without mercy, into the blonde, and another strangled cry fell from his lips.

A rough kiss was given to the blonde in hopes of quieting him, a free hand tangling in the teen's locks. The other man demanded entrance into his mouth almost instantly, and they shared a passionate kiss before Jou's hands pressed desperately against his captor's chest.

The kiss stopped after both parties pulled away, lightly panting. " I… I have to get to class, now…" A flushed blush stained his cheeks angrily, looking down at the floor and, he noticed with interest, the hardly visible bulge in front of his boyfriend's pants. He felt the fingers being taken out of him slowly, only with a slight wince, and a whispered voice sounding near his ear.

"Your mine tonight, though, Jou-pup."

----------------------------------------------------------- O

"Katsuya? Katsuya Jounouchi?"

He snapped awake, blonde head previously in his arms looking hurriedly up at the board, where Mr. Farrien looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "I'll trust that you weren't sleeping, and paying attention? What page and paragraph are you supposed to be reading right now, Mr.Jounichi?"

He quickly sneaked a glance at the student next to him, happily noting the guy was helping him out by pointing at the exact paragraph. Good guy. He'd have to thank him later. "We're on page 256, Farrien-sensei, and reading the 5th paragraph. And, Hai, I was paying attention."

He grinned as Mr.Farrien gave him an approving look, before glancing down at his own textbook. "Continue. And I need to see you, before the next class starts, about a test you missed, alright?" Jou nodded, before reading what was laid out in front of him. "Hai. An ecosystem consists of a dynamic set of living organisms…"

----------------------------------------------Y

Eating. Jou couldn't explain how much he loved the challenge of stuffing your face with food while others looked on, disgusted by how much you could eat, whilst not choking. Damn it if his stomach wasn't a bottomless pit, or if he wasn't enjoying it. If it was in front of you, eat it, right? That was his philosophy. Unless it was something gross, like, per say, a human brain. He wouldn't eat that. Unless he was fooled by thinking it was something good, because maybe it's appearance had been changed, or something of the like.

But, back to eating. He didn't want to puke everything up now, did he? Not with those thoughts, those thoughts that could also include Kaiba in a tutu suit. Very, very disturbing.

Everyone continued eating, with only Anzu giving him disapproving looks at his eating habits ("Jou! Don't eat that fast! It's totally gross!"), conversation light as it rippled across the hungry teens once in awhile. He didn't feel like talking. He felt like eating. And so did everyone else, so why not do it?

The silence, and his thoughts were abruptly stopped as the blonde turned his head towards his best friend, busily chewing on a chocolate bar. "Jou, since you don't have detention today, why don't we go to the arcade? We haven't been there in awhile." A smile was brought along with the request, not a single piece of food stuck in those perfectly white teeth. Sometimes, he envied Yug'.

"Sure, Yug'. I still have to kick your ass in one game, right?" He had personally taken on the goal of beating Yugi at pool, a game he thought he mastered a long time ago. But, some how, Yugi still managed to win. King of games? Oh yeah. "Just have to stop and get some money from my house, alright? I just spent it all on lunch." A sheepish grin as a blueberry muffin was half way to his mouth, a shrug accompanying it before he bit into it hungrily.

"Yeah, I wanna go with you guys too. Whaddaya say, Ryou, you coming too?" Honda looked at the albino curiously after his words, hitting the boy on the shoulder softly, as if to coax him. "C'mon. It'll be fun."

The white haired boy blushed lightly at the brunette's ministrations, hands folded neatly in his lap. "Ok, Honda. I'll come. I just need to go get some money, too." A small smile at all of them, and Honda grinned wildly, turning towards Anzu. "How about you, Anzu? There's 4 of us going, it'd be cool if we got you to come too." Anzu shook her head, letting a sorry smile drift over to Honda.

"Sorry guys, I can't. I promised I'd help my mother clean out the attic today. She said we just might turn it into a home-made dance studio!" A blissful look lit up her face as she smiled at the prospect, the mood spreading over all of them.

"That's great! You'd get to practice dancing more!" Yugi stated, smile brighter then a few minutes ago. "You'll definitely get a dancing scholarship in no time!"

"Yeah, Anzu. That'd be great, hey? Then we can all come to your professional dance recitals and tease you about it later!" The blonde let a grin paint itself on his face as the female of the group gave him a dirty glare, about to send a verbal lashing towards him before he noticed something. "Sorry I can't stay with you guys longer, but I have to go talk to Farrien-sensei about a test I missed. Catch you later!" A wink as he stood up hurriedly and picked up his messy tray. Couldn't be late now, could he?

Depositing his tray on the garbage block nearest to the door he was going out of, he decided to make a quick detour to the washroom. He was sure Farrien-sensei would be slightly annoyed if he kept on moving uncomfortably in his seat. He really needed to go.

Entering the bathroom and thanking anyone who had the thought of putting the washrooms near to the cafeteria, the blonde looked around quietly before starting to undo his pants. He hated doing his business in front of people. He always felt like they were sizing him up, comparing him to themselves. It was gross. Not saying that he didn't have a large dick, of course, but he didn't like waving it around.

Undoing the button that held his uniform together, he heard the door swing open eerily and a few footsteps, before they stopped. He glanced up quickly at the mirror nearest to him, and his face decided to abandon all blood. Why, oh why, did Seto Kaiba have to be EVERYWHERE?

Whipping around (And not paying mind to his state of semi-undress) he glared fiercely at the young CEO. "Kaiba, why the hell are you here?"… That probably wasn't the most intelligent question he could ask. And he could see it on the brunette's face, that it was, actually, quite stupid. Well, there was a first time for everything… and second… maybe third…

"Others do need to use the washrooms, also, mutt. I'm surprised you haven't figured out that you're not the only one in the world yet." The smirk only grew as a low growl came from deep in his throat, the warning falling on deaf ears.

"Piss off Kaiba. It's not as if you haven't taken your head outta your ass to see that the world ain't some place where everyone's out to get you, ya paranoid freak." Kind of grumbled the last part when he noticed that Kaiba wasn't looking him in the eye, or any where near his face. His gaze was a long way down, actually. And he could only guess what Kaiba must have been thinking.

Scowling (but it was ruined by the blush that, once again, stained his cheeks), he placed a hand on his hip, noticing that his pants were a bit lower then he had originally expected. "What are you looking at, you pervert?! I never knew you liked guys. I'm never going into a bathroom with you again." That might have been taken it to far, but he was just a little angry. He swore, Kaiba was always around at the worst moments of his life, just there to mock him.

Yes, that was probably the wrong thing to say. Jou found that was painfully obvious as he was slammed against the bathroom wall, arm choking off his air supply as he was held up in the air, wheezing, for the second time that week. He cracked one golden eye open with difficulty, the stare clashing with two deep blue eyes. Jou was surprised at how much anger those dark blue orbs could hold, before the CEO spoke.

"I am not, in anyway, inclined towards males, Mutt." Yes. Definite malice. "Don't ever say I am again, mongrel."

He couldn't resist a little grin as he gasped for air, opened eye half closed. "Have some issues there, Kaiba? Geez, don't take yer problems out on others." That probably wasn't the best thing to say either, but at least he wasn't pressed against the wall anymore. He almost collapsed if it weren't for two hands that held his wrists to the sides of him, arms bent at a slightly odd angle. He was afraid to look up as he greedily took in air, eyes closed.

He expected to be beaten up, maybe hit for that little comment. God knew the guy had massive problems. He was going to have a heart attack at such a young age, for all the surprises Kaiba was giving him. "And if I do have issues, mutt? Nothing you can't deal with, right? It's your fault, then, maybe?"

And something rang inside his head at some of the words spoken inside that sentence, maybe the fault part. But he suddenly remembered his dream in science class, the little bathroom scene were the man was blaming him for his arousal. The position, the want, the passion… It suddenly all came back to him as he remembered something else.

They practically had the same eyes.

Kaiba's eyes were filled with anger, an unfound hate, while his master's were filled with a hungry passion. But they were the same color. The same damn color he dreamt about, loved, grown used to seeing in his dreams. Just not in reality.

So, after kicking Kaiba rather harshly in a place no man should be kicked, Jou did something he would be doing for the second time that day.

He bolted.

God, I suck at updating -.-. I am never able to do this stuff fast! It's been a looong time since I've updated, so I am sincerely sorry for that ;;;. Anyways, I had tests too, so I have half an excuse!

... I suck at excuses ;;.

So, yeah. Thank you for actually having patience with me, if you did XD. And here's the translator thingie, and the note:

Sensei- teacher

Hai- Yes

1- There is this game that Yugi, Honda, and Jou played in the manga I read… It's where they added up their scores, to see who got higher then the other. I'm just too lazy to look it up right now -.-.

So, yeah. Third chapter, which I'm actually dedicated too! Whoot fer me. So, yeah. Ciao people! XP
