CHAPTER TWO
Jounouchi's shoulders were killing him as he made his way down the hall of Kaiba's manor to the usual bedroom. He'd been lugging his heavy book bag around, and the weight of it caused strain on his shoulders and muscles, but it would be worth it. Today, he was going to get the blackmail on Kaiba that would save him from that asshole, and possibly still get him the money for Shizuka's operation.
When Jounouchi entered the bedroom, he was relieved to see Kaiba hadn't arrived yet, so he set his heavy bag on the ground and unzipped it. There were multiple school books stacked on top of each other to create a small pedestal for the camera which sat on top of them. The books gave it just enough height to reach the area he would leave unzipped so it could film from inside his bag.
"Hmph, let's see how you like a taste of your own medicine, Kaiba," he stated arrogantly with a smug chuckle, feeling quite proud of his own genius.
Judging angle and distance with quick back and forth glances, Jounouchi positioned the bag so the camera was pointed toward the bed to catch it from the side, then pressed the record button.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching the room and hurriedly zipped the bag, leaving an opening big enough for the lens to film through.
Just as Jounouchi was jumping to his feet again, Kaiba entered the room and shut the door behind him, crossing over to the bed without even looking at the other boy. As he was taking his jacket off and setting it aside, he finally glanced over at Jounouchi while loosening his shirt.
"What are you waiting for? Get undressed already," he ordered.
Taking notice of the overstuffed bag on the ground by Jounouchi's feet, Kaiba then narrowed his eyes slightly with a furrowed brow.
"What's with that?" he asked with an assessing look in his eye.
Jounouchi panicked slightly at Kaiba's suspicion. It was true never carried a loaded book bag around, but he didn't think Kaiba would question it, and his mind began racing as he tried to think up an excuse.
"It's, uh... Well..." Jounouchi stammered slightly fumbling for words, then quickly cleared his throat and regained his composure.
"Well, since someone keeps raping me practically every day after school, I keep missing out on finishing my homework and receiving double assignments in class." he finally answered bitterly.
Eyes lingering on Jounouchi's book bag for a moment longer, Kaiba then looked up at him with a wry smirk.
"Hmph, I go to school every day, run my own company, have sex with you after school, and still manage to finish my work just fine."
Jounouchi's eyebrow twitched as he frowned deeply in irritation. "So nice to know that raping me during and after school every day doesn't wear you out as much as it does me," he muttered irately.
He wanted to include as many details as he could on camera.
Kaiba gave Jounouchi a smug grin. "You keep saying 'rape', but you seem to enjoy it just fine." he pointed out. "The way you moan and cling to me so tightly when I'm inside, calling my name over and over..."
"Sh-shut up, idiot!" Jounouchi quickly cut Kaiba off, his face glowing bright red. "W-who would enjoy such a thing?! I-it's only the body's natural, physical reaction, I can't help it! Besides..."
The blonde youth's face suddenly returned to its normal color and he narrowed his eyes sharply. "You don't really think I enjoyed what you did to me the other day, do you?" he asked accusingly with a biting tone.
As if on cue, Kaiba's face melted into its stoic expression to conceal his thoughts and feelings once more. He simply stared at Jounouchi in silence, not responding to the boy's question or acknowledging his hurtful deed. The lack of remorse - or any expression at all - only made Jounouchi angrier about the whole situation.
"Sexually harassing me at school is one thing, but to violently assault me in the nurse's office just because you were jealous of me talking to a girl is messed up, even for you. You really are a psycho!"
Kaiba slowly approached Jounouchi and the other boy grew tense with apprehension at the empty look in those blue eyes. With such an expressionless face, he had no idea what Kaiba was thinking or feeling, but surely his words must have triggered something. Gulping quietly, Jounouchi stood his ground and didn't back away from Kaiba's slow approach.
Stopping only inches away from Jounouchi, Kaiba regarded the other boy for a moment without even saying a word. Jounouchi began growing uneasy in the silence as he stood under that cold gaze, but just as he was about to question Kaiba, the other boy started to lift his hand. Jounouchi flinched and shut his eyes out of reflex, expecting some sort of blow or pain.
Instead, he felt a gentle caress on his face that created instant goosebumps as Kaiba's thumb lightly brushed his cheek.
Taken aback by the unexpected gesture, Jounouchi opened his eyes with a start and looked at Kaiba in surprised confusion. The impassive face and hard eyes seemed as though they had softened - just a little - and for a second it almost looked as if there were a hint of melancholy there.
"I didn't mean to hurt you," Kaiba admitted in a soft voice just above a whisper. "I just don't want you to be with anyone but me."
The uncharacteristic words brought an intense heat to Jounouchi's face, while a similar heat spread through his chest. For a moment, all Jounouchi could do was stare at Kaiba in silence, unsure of what to think. It was as if his brain had shut down. Of all the things he had expected Kaiba to say to him, something like that wasn't one of them.
In truth, Jounouchi hadn't stopped to think about the reason behind Kaiba's extreme jealousy. Initially, he'd assumed it was just the other young man's possessive nature. However, it seemed unusual that Kaiba would care so much about Jounouchi casually interacting with a former sex friend while disregarding the close bond he shared with Yugi and the others.
The fact that Kaiba had been jealous over him... Did it mean...he liked Jounouchi?
For some reason, the thought was followed by a fluttering feeling in his chest Jounouchi had never experienced before. The gaze in those blue orbs was so deep and intense that it left Jounouchi feeling heady.
Kaiba's free hand moved to caress Jounouchi's hip tenderly. A light blush rose to Jounouchi's cheeks and his heart started racing faster from the sensation of the other boy's touch. When Kaiba slowly started to lean in, instead of turning away or resisting, Jounouchi gulped then closed his eyes. Pulled along by the rapid current in the direction things were headed, Jounouchi waited for Kaiba's lips to meet his.
Suddenly, Kaiba grabbed the back of Jounouchi's head and gripped the other boy's hair while bringing his lips to Jounouchi's ear.
"This body of yours is mine now; no one else may touch you," he stated while the hand on his hip moved to squeeze Jounouchi's ass. "I'm paying for you, so that means you belong to me."
Eyes popping open in shock and stunned by the abrupt change, Jounouchi let out a yelp as Kaiba jerked him forward to press their bodies and lips together roughly. Kaiba began grinding their crotches against each other eagerly while his hand continued to grope the other boy's ass. Jounouchi grabbed Kaiba by the arms, but couldn't wrest himself free of the grip at the back of his head nor on his backside.
Backing up toward the bed, Kaiba pulled Jounouchi along while still kissing him then spun their bodies to switch positions, placing Jounouchi's back to the bed before shoving the stumbling blonde onto it. Before Jounouchi could sit up, Kaiba straddled him and slid his hands beneath the pinned boy's shirt to rub them up Jounouchi's torso, pushing the shirt up and exposing the tight abs and firm chest. Kaiba's warm hands massaged Jounouchi's pecs while his thumbs brushed over both nipples, teasing them until they were in an erect state.
The tingling sensations created by Kaiba's touch on his chest drew a slight moan from Jounouchi's lips before he even realized he was letting out the indecent noise. As soon as the sound slipped out, Jounouchi quickly clamped his mouth shut again, remembering the camera recording them and not wanting to sound like he actually felt good.
Not that he did, of course. Barely even felt it.
As soon as Kaiba grabbed the lapels of Jounouchi's blazer and jerked it open roughly, the other boy began squirming and kicking his legs hanging off the side of the bed. Kaiba's impatience was getting to be a concern as he seemed to grow more desperate and agitated, pulling Jounouchi's blazer forward to make him sit up then yanking it down his arms, but not fully removing it.
"Oi, chill out, you bastard!" Jounouchi protested while writhing.
Though his arms were still trapped in the pushed-down blazer, Jounouchi grasped at Kaiba's legs with his hands and continued to struggle. The other boy suddenly grabbed him by both shoulders and lunged forward, falling on top of Jounouchi as the startled blonde landed on his back.
Kaiba's face was inches from his as he stared down into Jounouchi's eyes. "Don't fight me, Jounouchi," he ordered in a flat tone. "Give your body to me, and I won't end up hurting you again."
Kaiba suddenly lowered himself and brought his head beside Jounouchi's, his face turned to touch the side of the stiff blonde's head while his warm breath and quiet voice floated into Jounouchi's ear.
"Let me embrace you, Jounouchi..." he murmured, this time in a voice soft enough to be a sigh.
Growing still and silent, Jounouchi felt Kaiba pushing his groin into his own and rubbing a very hard bulge against his own still soft member. The firmness and heat felt as though Kaiba's dick was on the verge of bursting from build-up.
It had been a few days since the incident in the infirmary, and Kaiba hadn't called on Jounouchi at all in that time. Not even for something quick, like oral sex or a handjob. There were also a couple of dry days even before the assault when Kaiba was too busy with work. Even though it had only been a little more than a month by now, they had never gone this long without doing anything at all. It had even started to worry Jounouchi when Kaiba didn't see or speak to him at all until messaging him that morning.
Had Kaiba been holding back these past few days - restraining himself from using Jounouchi ever since he'd hurt him? Was the time spent apart for the sake of Jounouchi's recovery?
No, that couldn't be it. Kaiba didn't care about him at all.
After nearly losing his resolve for revenge at such an unlikely thought, Jounouchi took a quiet breath, closed his eyes then sighed in resignation.
"Fine, I'll cooperate," he muttered. "Just get a hold of yourself, damn it."
Warm breath billowed on Jounouchi's skin as Kaiba released a silent sigh, then kissed Jounouchi's neck below his jaw.
"Good boy..." the deep voice hummed in Jounouchi's ear, causing a stir of arousal in his still soft member.
Hot lips lightly grazed along his cheek to his own lips and pressed into them, sucking and licking sensually. At first, Jounouchi didn't reciprocate, remaining stubbornly steadfast in his rejection of the kiss. However, a sudden hard grind into his crotch with that firm, hot bulge caused a light gasp, creating an opening for Kaiba's tongue to dart in.
The more Kaiba rubbed and ground their dicks together, the greater the friction became, and the more the pleasure grew until Jounouchi was growing dazed and lightheaded. Kaiba's tongue was leading Jounouchi's in a passionate dance which Jounouchi had to resist joining, still unable to figure out just how the hell this bastard's kisses felt so good. The excitement, stimulation, and clashing emotions drove Jounouchi to the verge of losing himself in the moment, though in the back of his mind he knew this was supposed to be unwilling, forced sex for the blackmail's sake.
However, it was a struggle just continuing to think straight without a clear head at this point.
Finally, too breathless to keep going, Kaiba broke the kiss with a gulp for air before sitting back to look down on Jounouchi. He relished the sight of the other boy lying breathless and disheveled beneath him - blazer still pushed down his arms, shirt raised and baring his toned torso, and cheeks colored a light crimson as he gazed up with glassy, half-lidded, brown eyes. The bulge in the other boy's uniform pants strained against the material, precum already creating a small, wet spot where it soaked through.
The erection Kaiba had neglected for the past few days so Jounouchi's injuries could heal was now growing so hard and hot it was painful. His earlier eagerness was beginning to return anew, but he held back this time instead of acting upon the impulse to devour the delicious-looking meal before him. Using one hand to start unbuttoning the shirt he wore beneath his uniform, Kaiba leaned on his free hand and licked his wet lips lasciviously as he observed Jounouchi with lust-filled eyes.
"For someone who claims this is 'rape', you look incredibly turned on and ready for more..." Kaiba remarked with an annoyingly sexy smirk.
Floating on a cloud of adolescent hormones and disoriented by the overwhelming arousal, Jounouchi was quickly brought crashing back down to reality and jerked with a start. He quickly began scrambling backward from beneath Kaiba and further onto the bed, his face red with mixed irritation and embarrassment.
"Don't be ridiculous!" he blurted out frantically, pushing himself up on both hands. "I was just-! I-I only got a little caught up, is all!"
The indignant response only amused Kaiba and brought a rumbling chuckle to his throat. He sat back on his knees while finishing off the buttons on his shirt and opening it.
"Of course, how foolish of me," he replied with considerable sarcasm, and let the shirt slip over his shoulders and down his arms, leaving him in only his pants.
Moving forward to place himself before the now upright Jounouchi, Kaiba leaned forward and brought their faces within inches of each other, gazing into Jounouchi's eyes with a mischievous smile.
"Quit being stubborn and just submit to your arousal and desire..."
As he spoke, Kaiba's hands moved tantalizingly slowly down Jounouchi's arms to finish removing the blazer hanging loosely around the other boy's lower forearms. Their lips were so close that just a slight adjustment could bring them together in a kiss. Jounouchi suppressed a shudder, wanting to deny the longing building in his loins, and shook his head quickly, trying to clear his thoughts.
"Th-there's no way...anyone would feel pleasured by the likes of you...!" he insisted stubbornly, doing his best to ignore the tingles and quivering in his abdominal muscles as Kaiba's hand lightly stroked Jounouchi's belly.
Kaiba merely grunted with a snort and suddenly pushed Jounouchi on his back again, keeping himself positioned between the blonde's legs. The fingers of his right hand brushed lightly over the lump in the front of Jounouchi's pants.
"Hn, is that so?" he asked in a mocking tone. "Then I suppose I'll have to test that theory..."
Without waiting for the startled young man's response, Kaiba immediately worked Jounouchi's pants open and released the thick, throbbing erection from within. He eyed the twitching member in his hand and gripped the hard, solid shaft, wet with precum already as more oozed out of the tip and dribbled over the head.
"You're already this wet," he commented while stroking his hand up and down slowly. "Is it because I've neglected you for so long? Shall I make you feel good, like a good master?"
Jounouchi lifted his head with a slight scowl. "Who the hell is a good mast-ah?!"
Effectively cutting off the angry blonde's outburst with a firm squeeze of the rock-hard dick in his hand, Kaiba then adjusted his position while bending down and dragging his tongue along the shaft and over the wet glans. Cradling the hot, throbbing member, Kaiba began licking up Jounouchi's excitement while the whimper of a stifled moan floated down to his ears. The sweet sound spurred Kaiba on, and he began kissing and sucking the solid rod all over before teasing the glans and tip with his tongue, sensing the other young man shudder in response. Jounouchi's reactions were pleasing to Kaiba, letting him know his efforts weren't going to be in vain. Just as he had stated, he intended to make Jounouchi feel good and bring him plenty of pleasure.
Lying back again as if in submission and closing his eyes, Jounouchi began letting out more sighs and groans as Kaiba closed his lips around the head to suckle it. The other boy's lewd noises of pleasure made Kaiba eager to hear more and encouraged him to work harder as he lowered his head and slid Jounouchi's dick deep into his mouth. He gripped the base and pushed Jounouchi almost all the way in, stopping when the head was nestled in the back of his throat.
A soft gasp followed by an intense groan escaped Jounouchi's lips, and Kaiba felt a tremor of excitement shoot straight into his groin. He began bobbing his head swiftly, gliding Jounouchi's dick along his tongue and into his throat again repeatedly, drawing moans and squirms from the gasping blonde who grabbed Kaiba's hair with both hands.
"Ahhn..."
Despite wanting to hold himself back, Jounouchi's traitorous voice kept escaping in steady streams of moans and groans as the hot, tight mouth continued to swallow his swollen dick until it reached Kaiba's throat. Somehow it felt like Kaiba was working hard to make him feel good, since normally the asshole's pleasure always came first. However, the other young man was being more thorough than usual, and Jounouchi was feeling more sensitive now.
After a little more than a month of sex almost every day - sometimes more than once - Jounouchi's body had grown accustomed to being pleasured frequently. Going a few days without any action, not even masturbation, seemed to make his sensitivity elevated. Without him even realizing it, Jounouchi's body had been completely manipulated and made strange by Kaiba.
Despite that unpleasant thought, the feeling of Kaiba's mouth and tongue going to town on his erection was soon driving away all thought and sense. Burying his fingers more deeply in the dark brown hair, Jounouchi began moaning more loudly, feeling the pressure rising steadily with the building climax. His firm abdomen clenched and his muscles tightened to the point he curled forward a bit, his voice rising as he approached the limits of pure ecstasy.
Finally, the pleasure Kaiba was giving him reached the peak height on an orgasmic level, and Jounouchi fell back again to arch with a stream of moans and gasps. He shuddered and spasmed with the waves of his climax spreading through his body, and felt the load being released from his twitching dick go down Kaiba's throat. The other boy held him inside his mouth until he was empty before finally withdrawing.
Spent and drifting in a haze, Jounouchi took deep breaths and shivered a couple more times before his body was released from the grip of his passing climax. His fingers grasping the dark locks loosened, and his arms dropped to the bed again. Jounouchi didn't even want to open his eyes to look at Kaiba now since he could already imagine the triumphant look on that bastard's face.
"What happened, Jounouchi?" Kaiba asked in a teasing tone. "I thought you wouldn't feel pleasure from the likes of me."
"Shut up." Jounouchi grumbled in frustration.
With a smug chuckle of amusement, Kaiba stepped back off the bed and loosened his own pants.
"No need to be so grumpy," he chastised while dropping his pants and underwear, leaving himself completely nude. "I'll make sure to grant you plenty of pleasure today, my cute, dumb puppy."
Bolting upright into a sitting position, Jounouchi scowled fiercely while a vein throbbed on his temple.
"Oi! Who the hell are you calling a 'cute puppy'?!" he hurled in agitation.
Kaiba smirked with a raised eyebrow. "So, you're not disputing the 'dumb' part?"
"...huh?"
Kaiba bent forward at the side of the bed and reached out toward Jounouchi, grabbing the waist of the other boy's pants and yanking them downward. Jerked forward by the force, Jounouchi uttered a cry while falling backward and felt his lower body become naked in one swift motion.
"Don't bother trying to use your brain," Kaiba advised while tossing Jounouchi's clothes aside. "All you need is that sexy mouth and tight ass to work."
Pushing himself up into a sitting position again after being so deftly undressed, Jounouchi was about to unleash a torrent of words back at Kaiba but stopped when he saw the other boy crouching down beside the bed. It was never good when he had something hidden beneath the bed.
"In fact," Kaiba began as he stood again, holding a black box. "I've bought you a gift to make up for treating you so poorly and neglecting you."
Opening the box and tilting it to allow Jounouchi to see inside, Jounouchi's face went slack and pale for a moment before his eyes narrowed and raised to meet Kaiba's, an expression of strong contempt accompanying his gaze.
"You...suck."
{*}
"You suck! You really, really suck!"
Jounouchi was now naked and sitting back on his heels with his hands on his lap while fuzzy, pointed dog ears covered in light brown fur poked out through his golden mane. There were also a pair of fake dog paws of the same color fur on his hands, and a red collar around his neck.
"You sick bastard," he growled at Kaiba with a furious scowl. "Just where the hell do you keep getting this shit?!"
"Don't worry about it," Kaiba answered flatly, holding an anal plug with a dog tail attachment in one hand and a bottle of unfamiliar lube in the other.
Squeezing the small tube over the plug, the liquid coated and dripped down all sides, making it sufficiently covered in the slippery fluid. Raising his eyes to Jounouchi, Kaiba dropped the bottle and flashed the other young man a devilish grin.
"Turn your ass this way."
Feeling more than just a little hesitant, Jounouchi gulped hard while eyeing the toy warily then glancing back at Kaiba. Slowly, Jounouchi turned onto his hands and knees with his ass facing Kaiba then turned to glance over his shoulder nervously.
Hunger and desire were already burning strongly in Kaiba's loins, but the flames were fanned by the sight of the tight, twitching hole already getting wet and awaiting his hard, throbbing dick. Kaiba reached out to touch Jounouchi's ass cheek with one hand and pull it to one side, opening his partner up a bit more and further exposing the pink hole puckering at his touch.
Bringing the dripping wet anal plug to Jounouchi's ass, Kaiba used the tip of the toy to tease the other boy's anus and perineum area, dragging it up and down slowly while pressing into the tender flesh.
Jounouchi jerked with a yelp at the strange feeling created by the cold, wet object poking him in the sensitive area.
"Oi, knock it off! It feels weird!" he complained.
Kaiba chuckled lightly. "It will feel considerably different soon..."
The foreboding statement came with a sense of anxious dread, but before Jounouchi could address it, the feeling of something pressing into his asshole drew a gasp then shudder from him instead. As Kaiba began pushing the plug into the tight hole, Jounouchi could feel the lube dribbling heavily down his perineum and balls due to the abundant amount Kaiba had applied. The rest smeared along his insides as the plug slid slowly into him with a slurping sound.
"Ah... Haah..."
The thick, rounded body of the object spread his anal cavity and stretched it a bit more than he was used to. A muffled whimper of discomfort vibrated in his throat while his arms trembled a bit, his elbows on the verge of giving out beneath him.
"O-oi... It doesn't feel right..." he said in a meek voice.
Kaiba had pushed the tail all the way inside of Jounouchi but hadn't released the base where he had been holding it. His other hand still resting on Jounouchi's ass cheek, Kaiba climbed up onto the bed on his knees to position himself behind the shuddering boy.
"You simply need some loosening up," he stated while bending forward over Jounouchi to murmur in his ear. "But I assure you, you'll be feeling very nice soon..."
Kaiba suddenly pulled the toy back creating a loud suction noise, then pushed it in deeply again, giving a rough thrust at the end.
"Ahhn!"
Jounouchi's arms finally gave out and his head and chest dropped to the bed. Kaiba pushed and twisted the plug around before pulling it back then thrusting it in again. He stirred up Jounouchi's insides and soon had the previously dormant nerves waking up again. It felt strange, but in a pleasurable way, and soon small moans and sighs began escaping his parted lips.
The sight of Jounouchi's hole stretching and dripping with lube and excitement ignited a flame in Kaiba so great it felt like it would burn him up from the inside. The lurid sounds coming from the other boy's back end and sensual noises coming from the front were like sweet music to Kaiba's ears. The curved tail attached to the toy swayed back and forth with the pumping motion, and actually almost looked like a dog's tail wagging for its master.
"Is it good, Jounouchi?" Kaiba asked with a lick of his lips, his voice husky with lust. "Are you feeling it now?"
Jounouchi could hear Kaiba speaking, but for some reason, it was difficult pulling his thoughts together in order to respond.
"It's...weird..." he mumbled, his head and mind feeling floaty. "I feel...strange..."
A grin began to spread across Kaiba's face. "Ah, that would be the lubricant's special effect."
They had been using the same lube that enhanced sensitivity since the beginning, but this felt different from the usual effects.
"But...it doesn't feel...the same...?" Jounouchi mumbled in confusion.
"That's because it's not the same one we've been using," Kaiba answered, his hand suddenly coming to a stop. "This one contains the ingredients Yohimbe and Horny Goat Weed."
Jounouchi's hazy mind began to clear a bit as apprehension rose to the foreground of his feelings. He didn't know what those were, but he sure as hell did not like the sound of that last one, and he was getting a bad feeling about their purpose.
"W-what do those do?" he asked nervously.
Kaiba's devious grin widened. "Make an aphrodisiac."
Jounouchi's eyes widened in panic and he opened his mouth to respond, but all that came out was a cry of surprise as Kaiba began thrusting once more, using a little more force this time and giving deep, rough pumps into the other boy's ass.
Moans and gasps flowed like a stream from Jounouchi's lips uncontrollably as the mounting pleasure continued to grow. Sensations like bolts of electricity shooting straight into his brain began to overwhelm his senses and make his mind feel numb and empty. All he could think of was the exquisite pleasure engulfing his lower body and the longing to come again and again until there was nothing left inside him.
Looking down on Jounouchi as he succumbed to lust and sank into a pit of animalistic, carnal instinct made Kaiba feel drunk on the sheer, intoxicating thrill it brought. The other boy's whole body was shuddering and shaking, especially his hips, and the more Kaiba pumped and thrust with the anal plug, the more precum dripped from Jounouchi's throbbing dick. The blonde youth's head was turned on its side on the bed, and Kaiba could see just how much the new lubricant's special properties were working.
The moaning, gasping young man's face was glowing with a deep flush, and his glazed wet eyes were turned up somewhat, on the verge of rolling back. His mouth remained open due to the constant of moans and cries, while his tongue hung slack and useless. The swollen, pulsing member twitching and jumping between Jounouchi's legs was starting to leak cum heavily in runny strings until they broke and landed on the bedspread. Based on the obscene scene, Kaiba suspected his enticingly erotic partner was already on the verge of coming.
It felt as though he would lose his mind if he didn't receive satisfaction soon. Arousal, thrill, pleasure, and desperate need were the only things on Jounouchi's mind now. The toy Kaiba was using on him felt amazing now, rubbing his hot insides while repeatedly dragging back and forth over his prostate. Even the tail itself was swinging back and forth to brush against his sack and perineum again and again, further stimulating the already tingling patch of nerves coated with the fluids leaking from his anus.
"How do you like it now, Jounouchi?" Kaiba asked seductively, his tongue flicking hungrily over his lips. "It seems like you're getting close to coming..."
Huffing and gasping for air, Jounouchi's whole body rocked with the force of Kaiba's thrusts, and he could barely even speak now.
"Good...! So...good!" he moaned in a quivering voice. "C-come...! Gonna...come...!"
Kaiba almost felt faint on his giddiness at the beautiful mess his precious pet had melted into. Without warning, he suddenly stopped his hand and bent over Jounouchi, rubbing his own painfully hard, throbbing dick against the other boy's crack.
"Hmm, should I let you come?" he wondered out loud in a taunting tone. "After all, you already had your pleasure from my mouth. Maybe I should make you earn it by pleasing me..."
The statement was accompanied by a hot, dripping member grinding against Jounouchi's backside, eager to receive satisfaction of its own.
Desperation and panic crossed Jounouchi's features as he turned his head as best he could to look back at Kaiba.
"No! Let me come!" he pleaded pitifully with wide, moist eyes. "You said you'd make me feel good!"
Even the normally calm, level-headed Kaiba couldn't help a hard gulp as his heart hammered away in his chest at the usually proud and stubborn Jounouchi begging him for more. Whenever Kaiba delivered him pleasure, the headstrong young man always accepted begrudgingly, regardless of how much his body enjoyed it. However, he was now so adorably eager and willing, Kaiba couldn't help but comply.
"Roll over," he ordered in a cool, smooth voice. "Show me your lewd parts like a good boy."
Without objection or hesitation, Jounouchi turned over to lie on his back and spread his knees to bare his nether region, his gloved hands hooked up by his chest like a dog, and the cloudy, half-lidded eyes gazed up at Kaiba full of anxious yearning. His thick member was swollen and throbbing while dripping precum onto his belly, and the tail extending from his ass twitched and pulsed at the base where it was inserted in his anus.
Kaiba couldn't suppress a shudder of arousal and reached out with his wet hand to playfully stroke his fingers lightly down the tight belly to Jounouchi's lower abdomen, eliciting a sensual moan from the other young man while creating goosebumps. Jounouchi squirmed some as Kaiba's fingers massaged the quivering muscles just above his partner's groin, making the hard dick jump and twitch excitedly.
"N-not there..." Jounouchi whimpered disappointedly. "Make me feel good inside..."
Even though Jounouchi was normally unaccepting of his desire for Kaiba's touch, and would never admit how good the asshole made his body feel when able to think clearly, all he wanted right now was to experience the hot, exhilarating thrill only Kaiba could deliver him.
Kaiba was so enraptured by the erotic sight of a horny, desperate Jounouchi he simply wanted to admire it a while longer. However, he didn't know how long the effects of the aphrodisiac would last and didn't want to waste time while the other boy was still being cute and needy. Placing one hand beside Jounouchi's head and hovering over him, Kaiba reached down with the other hand to grasp the tail and leered down on Jounouchi as he slowly dragged the anal plug backward until it was almost out, then roughly shoved it in again.
"Ahh!"
Jounouchi's back arched and never went back down as Kaiba began a series of rough, deep thrusts that caused the blonde boy's body to seize with the intensity of the pleasure. The constant rubbing of his prostate from the toy passing back and forth over it made Jounouchi's mind feel as though it was melting. The onslaught of jolts shooting through his groin and nether region caused Jounouchi's toes to curl and grip the covers while his legs trembled from the overwhelming stimulation.
Just as intense as the pleasure he was experiencing was the look in Kaiba's eyes as he stared down on Jounouchi and watched him moan and writhe in ecstasy like a horny bitch in heat. The look on the other boy's face was one of enamored fixation, as though fascinated and turned on by his task, and sweat trickled down his temple while deep blue orbs reflected Jounouchi's shameful image on their surface. Kaiba's entire focus was on Jounouchi, and that thought was almost as exciting as it was embarrassing.
"K-Kaiba! Kaiba! Ahh...!"
Unable to last much longer, Jounouchi's orgasm was like a dam had grown too full and burst under pressure to flood his being with waves of sheer, exquisite pleasure. His erection twitched and jumped wildly as it pumped out shot after shot up to his chest until the surface was splattered with his cum, while his body shuddered and convulsed.
Watching in amazement as he observed the rather impressive climax, Kaiba slowed his hand to a stop and left the plug nestled inside Jounouchi's contracting insides as the other boy went limp in exhaustion. His cum-covered chest heaved with deep breaths and his eyelids fluttered as he fought to keep them open. Soft groans slipped out between his parted lips as the spent young man made the slow descent from his sexual high.
Well past his limit, Kaiba grabbed Jounouchi's face with both hands and fell upon him eagerly.
"Jounouchi...!" he called in a breathy voice before their lips met.
While kissing his partner without reservation, Kaiba couldn't help rubbing and grinding his hard dick against Jounouchi, feeling so backed up he could come just from this alone. However, it wasn't what he wanted, and when he pulled back to look down upon the disoriented Jounouchi, Kaiba rubbed his thumb over the other boy's wet lips.
"Did you like that, Jounouchi?" he asked in a low, sonorous voice, a small, sexy smirk on his lips. "You looked so happy having your 'tail' played with."
It was hard to think clearly when his mind was clouded by a euphoric haze, but Jounouchi focused his misty eyes on Kaiba, who looked far too pleased with what just transpired.
In contrast, he was completely humiliated.
When Kaiba's hand touched his face it sent shivers down Jounouchi's spine. His insides were throbbing and hot, as if still unsatisfied. Deep down, even though Jounouchi knew his mind was just being manipulated by those damn herbs, his body wanted more. It wouldn't calm down, and all he wanted was to drown in depravity.
"You look hungry for more," Kaiba commented in a lascivious tone, as though reading his mind. "How about I 'feed' you?"
Pulling away from Jounouchi, Kaiba moved to sit at the head of the bed and lean back on the headboard with the pillows propped up behind his back. With one knee bent and the other leg crossed beneath it, Kaiba held out a beckoning hand to Jounouchi and motioned him over.
"Come service me," he commanded sensually. "After all, I'm like this because of you."
The thick manhood standing tall and firm drew Jounouchi's eyes and made his insides tingle. It was hard, pulsing, and dripping wet because of him.
And Jounouchi wanted it inside of him.
Rolling to get up on his hands and knees, Jounouchi crossed the short distance to bring himself before Kaiba. His arms were still weak and barely able to continue supporting his upper body, so Jounouchi lowered himself to bring his face close to the twitching dick before extending his tongue to give it a slow, languid lick. The annoying paw gloves still on his hands made it difficult to use them properly as Jounouchi tried to reach for Kaiba's dick and take hold of it. However, a poke to his head startled him and caused the confused blonde to stop and raise his eyes to Kaiba.
"Oi, what are you doing?" Kaiba questioned playfully. "Dogs don't have hands..."
Quickly catching on to the meaning behind Kaiba's statement, Jounouchi began to scowl weakly at the other boy and was about to object when the smirking young man hooked his finger beneath Jounouchi's chin.
"Do a proper job and I'll reward you with a nice treat," he promised seductively.
It pissed Jounouchi off how tempting that sounded right now, but as his eyes wandered back down to the thick member before his face, his insides were once again throbbing and itching with desire around the plug still buried inside him. The tail had felt good, but it wasn't enough. Kaiba's dick, on the other hand, was long, hot, and pulsing with life.
A toy couldn't even compare to the real thing.
Swallowing his pride while mentally cursing the herbs sending his libido into overdrive and his senses out the window, Jounouchi lowered his chest to the bed and planted his hands beneath it. With his hips still raised in the air, the amorous young man began giving Kaiba's hot, solid meat teasing licks all over.
Leaning back against the headboard with one arm propped on his bent knee, Kaiba marveled at the deliciously lewd scene before him as a low groan vibrated in his throat.
The dog ensemble accompanied by Jounouchi's pose of elevated, trembling hips while he licked and sucked on his dick brought an invigorating high to Kaiba that made him want to come already. Jounouchi's hot lips caressed his twitching shaft with sensuous kisses before moving on to the head where his tongue danced around it and teased the glans.
Kaiba inhaled deeply then exhaled slowly again while humming a low groan. "Mm..."
Jounouchi's lips then wrapped around the head before lowering onto Kaiba's suffering manhood, which had been desperately awaiting its own satisfaction for what felt like ages. When his entire dick had been swallowed up by the wet heat of Jounouchi's mouth, Kaiba let out a shuddering sigh and placed his free hand on Jounouchi's head between the ears. He rubbed his fingers through the soft, golden locks, almost like he was actually petting an animal, and watched the head in his lap bob up and down, the slick tongue gliding smoothly along the shaft as it moved.
Normally Jounouchi would feel more reluctant in performing this act, and after what happened in the infirmary he should feel more inclined to bite the bastard's dick off than suck it. However, it felt good to fill his mouth with the hard, thick dick until it reached the back of his throat again and again while the fluids leaked out to coat his tongue. The feeling of it sliding on the surface of his tongue and between his lips was almost pleasurable somehow, and he doubled his efforts while small groans vibrated in his chest.
"Ahh, Jounouchi..." Kaiba moaned deeply, his fingers stroking Jounouchi's hair tenderly.
In the back of his mind, Jounouchi was aware that the camera was filming and that he was being a little too enthusiastic. He also knew that once his mind was no longer muddled by the aphrodisiac and his libido no longer in control of his brain, he'd probably want to leave a fist-shaped bruise right in the middle of Kaiba's face.
However, the sound of Kaiba's sexy, pleasured voice and the feel of his long fingers drifting softly through his hair stirred the embers of passion within Jounouchi's core until the flames burned away all sense of reason and inhibition. This was the man who was taking advantage of him, blackmailed him, raped him, and turned him into a toy for his own pleasure and amusement.
But for now - just for now - Jounouchi would put it all aside and indulge himself in this lust-fueled revelry.
Neglecting his physical needs for the past few days left Kaiba overly eager as well as overly excited. His deep breathing started growing into heavy pants, while the soft groans became moans of pleasure. Jounouchi's skillful mouth and tongue were working so diligently that it was a strain on Kaiba's ability to endure for very long, though he relished each second of pleasure delivered by the other boy.
"You're working so hard," Kaiba remarked while brushing some of Jounouchi's hair aside to see his face. "Are you that eager to have my dick inside of you?"
Jounouchi's eyebrows drew together as though he were trying to scowl in the middle of giving a blowjob, but otherwise offered no response to the other young man's question as he continued sucking Kaiba's dick roughly and deeply.
While reaching his limit, Kaiba opened his legs up more and grasped Jounouchi's head with both hands, his abdomen and legs tensing with the building pressure spreading through his lower body. Moans and gasps flowed between Kaiba's parted lips as he tightened his grip on Jounouchi's head, guiding the other boy as he approached the heights of pleasure.
"Mm, come on, Jounouchi," he urged in a sultry voice. "Make sure to drink all of my cum."
Absorbed in his orgasmic high, Kaiba pushed Jounouchi's head all the way down as a mind-numbing burst of pleasure lit up his senses and drew a cry of ecstasy from his throat. After taking a break from getting off on a daily basis, the intensity of his climax caused Kaiba to shudder and spasm with the rippling waves coursing through his body. It wasn't until his body went lax that Kaiba released Jounouchi and allowed the other boy to pull away.
Gasping deeply for air, Jounouchi coughed a few times after being released, hot, slimy cum still trickling down the back of his throat and from the corners of his lips. Kaiba had released a considerable load after apparently not relieving himself in a while, and Jounouchi's mouth was filled with the thick, salty flavor.
"I-idiot...!" Jounouchi hacked, a little more alert after nearly drowning.
Disturbed from his euphoria by the annoyed voice, Kaiba opened his eyes to see Jounouchi pushed up on one arm while wiping his mouth with the back of his gloved hand. It seemed the aphrodisiac may have been losing strength, but Kaiba was far from done enjoying himself. Hooking a finger through the collar around Jounouchi's neck from below, the startled blonde uttered a small cry as Kaiba quickly pulled him forward by it so their faces were close. Jounouchi caught himself by planting his gloved hands on Kaiba's knees and met the other boy's gaze as Kaiba tilted his head while smirking seductively at Jounouchi.
"You were the one who was sucking me so enthusiastically," he murmured with that alluring, deep voice. "It was simply the result of your hard work."
Before Jounouchi could even think of a response, Kaiba pulled on the collar even further so their heads were side by side, the other boy's whisper passing over Jounouchi's ear like a warm, stirring breeze.
"You did well, Jounouchi," Kaiba praised while reaching down to touch Jounouchi's erection. "I'll thoroughly reward you."
Kaiba's palm rubbed the shaft of Jounouchi's dick while the fingers cupped his sack and fondled the other boy's privates teasingly. Jounouchi shivered with a light moan, keeping his reddening face hidden by leaving his head beside Kaiba's. When the other young man's hand began to glide further down and touch his perineal area, Jounouchi let out a gasp and grabbed Kaiba's shoulders at the feeling in the previously unexplored spot.
Having learned more about 'anatomy' during a little extra research, Kaiba massaged and rubbed the tender patch of muscles and nerves, then pressed up to touch Jounouchi's prostate just on the other side of the wall. The other boy reacted immediately with a startled yet erotic cry and his hips jerked in response.
"Ahn!"
The spot Kaiba was touching felt weird and amazing at the same time as he played with the area for a few moments, creating strange feelings of contractions in Jounouchi's nether region that made his legs tremble. Kaiba then moved his fingers further back to the tail and parted them down the middle to slip the base in between the middle finger and ring finger. Jounouchi had to swallow a rising moan as Kaiba began rubbing his hand around with the tail squeezed between his fingers, stirring the plug and stimulating the blonde youth inside and out as the heel of his palm rubbed the perineum.
"Tell me you want it, Jounouchi..." Kaiba murmured in a breathy voice, his lips brushing Jounouchi's ear as he spoke.
The strong urge in Jounouchi's belly and groin was building in strength again after almost dying out a short while ago, his mind beginning to sink slowly into the depths of desire once more as he was teased and toyed with again.
"Nn..."
This time Jounouchi didn't stop the small noise of pleasure that floated up in his throat and closed his eyes while lowering his head, his hips starting to dip and move around to rub on Kaiba's hand more. Once again his carnal instinct was overtaking rational thought, and Jounouchi couldn't help but simply surrender to his sexual appetite. He encircled his arms around Kaiba's shoulders and pressed his face into the crook of the other boy's neck while continuing to move his hips.
"Mmm... Ah..."
Muffled yet still audible moans and sighs caused Jounouchi's hot breath to bathe Kaiba's skin while the other boy's face was nuzzled against his neck. The need to be buried deep inside of Jounouchi's hot, tight insides was growing too great to bear when the other boy was letting out such sweet sounds in his ear and even shaking his hips to seek pleasure for himself. Kaiba leaned back and pushed Jounouchi up enough to gaze at him with desire in his eyes.
"Do you want it, Jounouchi?"
Jounouchi met Kaiba's lust-filled stare with a glassy-eyed, dreamy look of his own and gave a brief nod. He then let out a gasp as Kaiba immediately pulled the tail down and made it pop out of Jounouchi's anus with a wet slurp.
"Ahh!"
The 'de-tailed' blonde went limp against Kaiba and shuddered from the sensation of the large, bulbous object being yanked from his hole. Kaiba held Jounouchi's narrow waist while letting him recover in his arms for a moment before then whispering amorously into the other boy's ear.
"Mount me."
Jounouchi didn't need to be told twice.
Legs shaking as he raised himself up onto his knees, Jounouchi climbed into Kaiba's lap where the other boy's hard, wet dick was waiting to fill him up. Kaiba leaned back into the pillows and watched Jounouchi with a look of excessive arousal, as if enjoying watching him in such an embarrassing, degrading state. However, for some reason, it made Jounouchi feel shy and awkward, and he lowered his head to conceal his face with his hair while he lowered his body into Kaiba's lap. The hot tip pressed to his asshole and Jounouchi immediately inserted the thick, throbbing member all the way to the hilt.
"Ahhn!"
The hard shaft filled Jounouchi's twitching insides and hit his sweet spot on the way in, lighting up his senses with pulses of pleasure and drawing a small cry from his lips. Gripping Kaiba's shoulders through the stupid paw gloves, Jounouchi began swaying and gyrating his hips in the other boy's lap, causing the hot member inside to rub and stir up his inner walls while pressing into his prostate. Moaning softly and growing light-headed from overwhelming excitement, Jounouchi began slowly but roughly thrusting and rocking his lower body in order to stimulate himself where it felt good.
Kaiba's hands grasped Jounouchi's waist and he let out a shuddering moan while sitting back and enjoying the view. The toy had prepared Jounouchi's insides well, leaving the snug anal cavity soft and ready for Kaiba to ravish. However, Jounouchi was taking initiative to do the work himself, using Kaiba's dick to pleasure himself all on his own, and Kaiba felt drunk on the elation mixed with the sharp increase in arousal.
"Jounouchi," Kaiba sighed, his hands wandering his partner's body. "You look so cute..."
Normally, such a statement would come off as condescending and piss Jounouchi off, warranting retaliation. However, the words came off as seductive and affectionate for some reason, making Jounouchi feel strangely bashful, and he chanced lifting his eyes to peek at Kaiba's face through his long bangs.
The normally stoic young man's face looked feverish and incredibly turned on, watching Jounouchi with tender, focused eyes as though mesmerized by the mere sight of him. Kaiba's hands stroked their way up Jounouchi's torso then moved to run down his back and rub the spot at the base of Jounouchi's spine, making the other boy shiver and moan a bit as he touched a tender area Jounouchi didn't even know felt good.
As much as he hated to admit it, sex with Kaiba was physically gratifying and pleasurable, and Jounouchi allowed himself to at least indulge in the intimate part of their arrangement, since 'passionate Kaiba' was a little bit more tolerable than normal Kaiba. He seemed to know just where to touch and please Jounouchi to make him melt, even when he felt reluctant.
However, this was the first time Jounouchi actually felt like he wanted Kaiba so badly. Needed him, even.
Somehow that thought seemed so wrong.
The hot, tight, contracting insides squeezed Kaiba's manhood as Jounouchi moved his hips in a lewd, erotic manner, stimulating Kaiba greatly, but not enough to bring him to a climax. It was almost torturous and unbearable, but sexy and enjoyable at the same time. Jounouchi dipped and rocked his hips forward, causing his own erection to rub up against Kaiba's stomach at the same time. Kaiba could only moan and grab on to Jounouchi's ass, groping the soft, tight buttocks.
Allowing his horny pet to have his way and 'play' with him as he liked, Kaiba leaned forward to kiss and suck on Jounouchi's collar bone, loving the way it made his partner react and tighten on his erection.
"Mnn..."
The hot lips on his flesh made Jounouchi shudder with a groan, and he tilted his head back while starting to lift and drop his hips now. Kaiba sucked on his collar bone and created tickling tingles in Jounouchi's skin, while the movements inside of his ass brought currents of pleasure greater than before. Jounouchi pressed his pelvis more firmly into Kaiba, rubbing and grinding his groin and wet dick against the other young man eagerly.
"A-ahh... Kaiba..."
While Jounouchi worked his lower body fervently, Kaiba began spreading kisses around on the other young man's chest - making hickeys blossom like petals on Jounouchi's smooth skin. The dripping asshole and insides slurped and squeezed Kaiba's dick hungrily while the suction gripped the solid shaft tightly, drawing hums and vibrations from resonating moans to Kaiba's throat. After leaving several marks on the other boy's skin, Kaiba's lips then caressed and pulled on one of Jounouchi's tender, perky nipples. He used his tongue to lick and tease the sweet, pink bud before playfully blowing warm air on the wet flesh, creating goosebumps as his breath passed over the stiff nub and feeling Jounouchi's enjoyment tighten around his manhood.
Flying high on overwhelming arousal and immense pleasure, Jounouchi felt as though his mind was floating on a cloud rising higher and higher toward orgasmic euphoria. Unable to control his body or thoughts anymore, Jounouchi began moving and thrusting more aggressively to drive Kaiba's hard dick deep into his ass. The way his voice spilled out so freely and lewdly made it sound almost unfamiliar in his ears, but Jounouchi had lost all inhibition in the passionate heat of the moment.
Pulling his head back to moan and gasp along with Jounouchi, Kaiba wrapped his arms around the other boy's lower back and pulled his body more tightly against his own, trapping Jounouchi's leaking dick between them and causing the other boy to tighten up at the increased stimulation. Reaching up with one hand, Kaiba stroked his fingers along Jounouchi's cheek and to the side of his head, his fingers mixing in with strands of gold.
"Ah, Jounouchi..." Kaiba murmured in a breathy moan. "It feels incredible inside you..."
Half-lidded, bleary eyes peeked at Kaiba from behind the long bangs hanging in Jounouchi's face. Instead of the usual contempt or spiteful glare the other boy always cast in his direction, Jounouchi looked back at Kaiba with a face of pure eroticism, his mind seemingly swallowed up entirely by ecstasy. Enamored by the alluring expression being made because of him, Kaiba pulled Jounouchi's face to his, and their lips melted together in a hot, passionate kiss.
The sounds of wet suction, skin smacking skin, and muffled moans combined with wet kissing, filled the air as the two young men immersed themselves in their sex without reserve. When Jounouchi's body started to grow tired, Kaiba took over and fell forward with the other boy's arms and legs wrapped around him, beginning to thrust his hips roughly and driving himself into Jounouchi hard and fast. Their tongues danced together in the breath-stealing kiss while their lower bodies parted and joined again and again in rapid succession.
Jounouchi broke the kiss first to gasp and moan loudly as the repeated blows to his insides and sweet spot drove him closer and closer to his climax. The intensity of the pleasure edging its way to the maximum height caused Jounouchi to tense all over and squeeze Kaiba with limbs and insides alike.
"Ahh! Gonna come! Kaiba! Kaiba...!"
A cry of pleasure burst forth from Jounouchi's lips right beside Kaiba's ear while a load of cum did the same from his throbbing dick, smearing cum between their wet, naked bodies. Jounouchi clung to Kaiba desperately as his mind was wiped clean and left blank from the force of the amazing climax.
Heaving and gasping for air while nearly having the life squeezed out of him by Jounouchi, Kaiba concentrated all his focus on the lower part of his body as the pleasure building there overwhelmed all other sensations. Jounouchi's insides contracted and spasmed around Kaiba's swollen dick while his sweet, intensive moans filled Kaiba's ear, driving him past his limit and straight into a powerful orgasm.
Letting out a gasping moan while burying himself as deeply inside Jounouchi as he could, Kaiba released another pent-up load until it filled the shuddering blonde then flowed back to squirt out around Kaiba's pulsing dick. Giving a few more slow, rough thrusts until the highest point of the climax began to dissipate, Kaiba then went limp on top of Jounouchi, his weight pressing down on the other exhausted boy's belly and causing more cum to dribble out.
Kaiba didn't even bother to pull out, savoring Jounouchi's warmth while floating on a cloud in his orgasmic high. The other young man's limbs had finally released Kaiba, and after a moment Kaiba lifted his upper body onto his elbows in order to look down on his partner still recuperating beneath him.
Jounouchi's head was turned aside with closed eyes, and the dog ears had been knocked askew and nearly fallen all the way off after Jounouchi hit the bed on his back. Kaiba reached up with one hand and ran his fingers through Jounouchi's thick, fine hair to push the band out and remove the ears completely. A small noise of contentment rose in the other boy's throat as Kaiba's fingers stroked through his hair, like a dog enjoying being petted.
It felt strange and awkward performing such acts of affection for Kaiba. Emotions were a weakness, and Kaiba had resolved to never be weak in front of anyone ever again.
However, the more Kaiba held Jounouchi, the more he lost in his resolve to remain the uncaring, unfeeling 'master' who used blackmail and money to bind Jounouchi to him. But Kaiba had kept other people at a distance in order to protect himself for so long, he didn't know how to open up and be honest anymore. Only during sex when the mood was right did he allow the walls to drop, even just a little.
Though he still felt some sense of satisfaction and superiority in dominating Jounouchi, there was a sense of elation in the way Jounouchi had so desperately clung to him and wanted him just a little while ago. Even if it was under the influence of an aphrodisiac, Jounouchi had been engaging, eager, and erotic. The normally stubborn and willful young man who only gave Kaiba his body reluctantly had actually wanted him, and it felt sublime.
If Kaiba told Jounouchi he wanted more than just his body, would Jounouchi even believe him after all he had done?
"Oi, you're heavy," Jounouchi grumbled irritably.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Kaiba finally realized he'd been lying on top of Jounouchi the whole time and pulled back to sit on his heels. The other boy was a naked mess, wet with cum and sweat, while his puckered anus leaked heavily with a slimy mixture of lube and Kaiba's cum. Jounouchi finally opened his eyes and turned them to Kaiba, the usual defiant, challenging look reflected in their surface once again.
"Satisfied now, you depraved bastard?" the now clear-headed young man asked grumpily.
Obviously no longer influenced by the aphrodisiac, Jounouchi had returned to his disagreeable self. Though a bit disappointed that his pet was no longer cute and horny anymore, Kaiba felt his arrogance starting to surface as the desire to make Jounouchi submit and become humble welled within him.
Grabbing the collar around Jounouchi's neck, Kaiba quickly yanked the other boy upright, the corner of his lip curling into a taunting smirk.
"You really think that little bit was enough to satisfy me?" he asked in amusement. "We're not even close to finished. Prepare yourself, Jounouchi..."
A feeling of apprehension and regret made Jounouchi feel cold all over, and he was unable to suppress a hard, audible gulp. He recognized that playfully sadistic look in Kaiba's eye and knew he was in for a rough night now.
Sometimes, he should really learn to keep his mouth shut.
Hours later, Jounouchi was lying face down on the bed in exhausted agony. His back and ass were killing him, and he wasn't sure he would even be able to walk right. Kaiba had really gone overboard today - toying with him and ravishing him until his body was beyond satisfied and wrung dry.
Thankfully the perverted bastard hadn't used that new lube again after the first round. Even if the sex had felt amazing, the way it made Jounouchi almost delusional in the throes of lust was unsettling to him. Craving Kaiba's touch and body so strongly because of those weird herbs was practically unnatural. Almost as unnatural as the way Kaiba seemed so much more affectionate and passionate when he was embracing Jounouchi in the beginning, though the aching young man was almost certain it was just an illusion caused by weird sex drugs and reduced blood flow to the brain.
However, nights like this were hopefully about to end. Everything had been caught on camera - at least, he was pretty sure it was - and it was the perfect evidence to trap Kaiba. Wild gay sex was just the kind of thing that could ruin a serious, prideful guy like Kaiba.
It was just going to take a lot of editing to make sure Kaiba was the only one exposed...
"Here."
Startled by the unexpected voice, Jounouchi lifted his head to look at Kaiba standing beside the bed with a glass of water in one hand and a pitcher in the other. He was fresh out of the shower, shirtless in a pair of casual pants, with a long towel for drying his hair draped over his shoulders.
Jounouchi hesitated when Kaiba offered the glass, looking at it with open suspicion before redirecting his eyes to the other boy again.
"It's not drugged or something, is it?" he asked with a spiteful edge to his voice.
Kaiba merely snorted with a smirk. "That would be pointless, I've had enough for today."
Jounouchi accepted the glass and took large gulps from it while Kaiba walked away. He drained the glass then set it on the end table next to the bed before carefully trying to climb out. Aches in multiple areas and weakness in his limbs hit Jounouchi like a truck. He arched his back with a pained groan and rubbed the lower muscles with both hands.
"Jeez, did you have to be such a damn savage, you deviant asshole?"
Kaiba was lounging in one of the chairs sipping water from his own glass casually. He lowered it and glanced sideways at Jounouchi.
"It just took a little more to satisfy me this time, since it had been a while," he answered bluntly. "Besides, I had to punish you a little."
Jounouchi's body trembled slightly as he stood glowering at Kaiba, and he had to place a hand on the bed to steady himself from the weakness in his lower body.
"What, raping me like that in the nurse's office wasn't punishment enough?!" he asked harshly.
Kaiba's eyes lowered before closing. "That was for one thing, this was for the other," he replied softly in a cold voice.
Now Jounouchi felt confused instead of angry.
"Other thing? What other thing?" he mumbled questioningly.
Jounouchi already knew Kaiba had been jealous of him talking to Mia, and that was why he lost it the other day, but what other thing had he done to make Kaiba mad? As far as Jounouchi knew, he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.
Having no intention of explaining, Kaiba fell silent and took another sip from his glass, ending the conversation. He couldn't bring himself to tell Jounouchi what the other thing was. There was no way Kaiba could reveal how Jounouchi had actually managed to wound him. How he'd turned a single sentence into a knife and pierced his chest, despite the normally taciturn young man's attempt to remain immune to feelings.
The words kept coming back to echo in his mind, and they stung each time:
"I absolutely hate you!"
Kaiba had to keep his hand from trembling as he held the glass to his lips, not exactly drinking the water so much as keeping his mouth otherwise occupied so he didn't have to speak.
The feelings of resentment had always been mutual for the entire time the two boys had known each other. Kaiba disliked everyone in Yugi's group, but Jounouchi had been the one he couldn't stand the most. He was a loud, ill-mannered, no talent idiot who had spent his earlier adolescent years being a thug in a legitimate gang. Kaiba could never understand what Yugi saw in him. Jounouchi Katsuya had been nothing but inferior in Kaiba's eyes.
In fact, the whole point of this 'arrangement' between them had been Kaiba's way of venting his negative feelings toward the other boy, humiliating him for his own amusement, and satisfying his sexual needs. Kaiba had relished it in the beginning and enjoyed knocking the delinquent to the ground where he belonged. Jounouchi was beneath Kaiba, and it brought him a sense of satisfaction to show the pathetic dog his place.
So why had the feeling changed?
After a month of lust, passion, and intimacy almost every day, with plenty of time spent together, he came to know much more about Jounouchi Katsuya and the person he was. The things he was willing to do for family and friends, and the hardships he would put himself through for a loved one. Even for a parent who brought him nothing but pain. The guy was still dull in the head with the behavior of a stray dog, but his sense of honor and loyalty to those he held dear were so rare in Kaiba's world he couldn't help feeling some respect and admiration for it.
Aside from Mokuba, there were none who were genuinely loyal to Kaiba, nor anyone who would value him for anything other than his money and power. Deep down, Kaiba almost wished he could experience the feeling of being cared for and cherished himself, but already knew Jounouchi would never hold him in the same regard as Yugi and the others. Kaiba was far away from that special place in Jounouchi's heart and mind, and it was all his own fault.
Nothing could repair their damaged past, nor the wide rift which had always existed between them.
No matter how much he held the other boy's body, it was all Kaiba would get. And as long as Kaiba himself remained unwilling to come to terms with feelings he'd rejected and kept buried in his hardened heart, Kaiba would just have to be satisfied with holding Jounouchi while being despised.
But despised or not, he wasn't letting Jounouchi go.
{*}
When Kaiba didn't answer his question and ceased speaking altogether, Jounouchi decided not to probe any further and simply grabbed his clothes before heading to the bathroom for a shower. He was sticky, slimy, and sweaty all over, and it took a great deal of vigorous scrubbing to make him feel less disgusting. Even his insides were thoroughly cleaned out with an eagerness he hadn't felt since the first time they had sex. It still pissed Jounouchi off that Kaiba had used something as underhanded as an aphrodisiac on him. As if it had made the sex any better!
Suddenly, memories of Kaiba's piercing, desirous gaze, expressions of feverish longing, and sensual touches teasing and pleasuring his body flashed through Jounouchi's mind, causing the flushed young man to shiver even in the heat of the streaming water.
Ok, maybe it was a little bit better.
Somehow it had felt different being completely willing for a change, even if it had been induced instead of natural. There was something both exhilarating and kind of scary about matching Kaiba's passion and feeling a mutual desire to be in each other's arms. Even if Jounouchi would often allow himself to be swept up in the ecstasy with Kaiba, he'd never been so eager and engrossed before. The change in their behavior created a change in the mood between them, at least during the first round.
Maybe if the atmosphere was always like that, then they could actually...
Jounouchi stiffened and blinked his eyes a couple of times before fervently shaking his head side to side, flinging his wet hair and water droplets about.
What the hell was he thinking? There couldn't be anything between him and Kaiba except animosity and mutual dislike. Kaiba was an arrogant, controlling, self-absorbed jerk who only cared about being on top. The obnoxious asshole had been using Jounouchi relentlessly and toying with his body and feelings for about a month, and he did it using Shizuka against him.
However, that would all be over soon. Jounouchi had what he needed to back Kaiba into a corner and force him to release him. Maybe it would even help coerce him to pay the rest of the money for Shizuka's surgery, and set them up with that surgeon. There was no way the egotistical jerk would risk going against him with the humiliating footage Jounouchi had. Kaiba's precious reputation would be ruined if he didn't do what he was told.
The thought of the prideful Kaiba panicking and groveling for mercy before him made Jounouchi snicker to himself.
Aches and fatigue were gradually forgotten as he started to feel a sense of smugness at the thought of having the upper hand for once. Jounouchi couldn't wait to make Kaiba squirm as he had done to him. Maybe he would even turn Kaiba into his slave. By the time Jounouchi finished showering his spirits had lifted considerably. The refreshed young man walked out of the bathroom with a towel covering his head, rubbing his damp hair to dry it. The towel obscured his view, but not his ears. Upon hearing something, Jounouchi froze only several feet out of the doorway to listen more closely.
Voices. Moans. Dirty talk. And they sounded extremely familiar.
Jounouchi's eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat as it grew tight in the grip of cold panic.
Yanking the towel off his head, Jounouchi confirmed his worst fear as he laid eyes upon Kaiba who sat in the same chair as before, except now he was staring down at something in his lap with a devilish little smirk on his face. He sat with one leg crossed over the other, and the object resting on top of his leg was a camera.
Jounouchi's camera.
Kaiba's tongue licked the corner of his lips as he watched the screen while the provocative sounds of sex continued to play.
"The angle and quality sucks a little, but this is definitely some excellent footage," he remarked, almost sounding impressed. "You look just as sexy on camera as you do in real life..."
He didn't even bother to look up at Jounouchi as he provided a review of the footage that was supposed to be the other young man's trump card over Kaiba. The plan Jounouchi thought would save him failed before it had even begun.
How had Kaiba known? How did he even find out? Jounouchi could have sworn he was discreet enough. Jounouchi's dismay was interrupted when Kaiba let out a sigh of disappointment.
"Could it be you were trying to escape me using this, Jounouchi?" he asked with a sad shake of his head. "It's unfortunate. I wish I could keep it, but..."
He snapped the screen closed and stood while turning to face Jounouchi. Chilling blue eyes raised to meet the other boy's as Kaiba let the camera slip from his hand and clatter on the floor.
"A disobedient dog must be taught a lesson..."
Suddenly, Kaiba grabbed the pitcher of water off the coffee table and held it over the camera. Before Jounouchi could even react, Kaiba dumped its entire contents on the camera, never breaking eye contact.
"Never think you can outsmart me, Jounouchi," he warned coldly.
The camera crackled and shorted as it was doused in water. Then, as if that wasn't enough, Kaiba gave Jounouchi a smirk, grabbed the camera up off the floor, then turned and hurled it at the room's unlit fireplace, where it smashed against the bricks of the back wall. The object shattered, just like Jounouchi's hopes. It was as if Kaiba was destroying the camera to show him that his plan had been destroyed. An unspoken but cruel message only Kaiba could deliver.
As Jounouchi's heart sank, his legs suddenly felt weak, as though his heavy heart was weighing his whole body down. The distraught young man dropped to his hands and knees with his head hung, his bangs covering his face.
What was he supposed to do now?
Even if he got the camera back now, Jounouchi wasn't sure he could recover the footage. And even if it was recoverable, how was he supposed to take it back? If he tried now, Kaiba would just stop him. And if Jounouchi tried to overpower him, Kaiba would just summon those giant gorillas he called bodyguards. Even if he could easily kick Kaiba's ass, Jounouchi didn't stand much of a chance against those other guys on his own.
Once again, Jounouchi was helpless against Kaiba.
Still sunken to the floor, the young man's hands curled into fists as his despair shifted into rage His breathing became heavier as it built up to the point it was almost suffocating. Jounouchi was sick of always being the loser. He slowly lifted his eyes to glare at Kaiba through his bangs. Kaiba stared back at Jounouchi, seemingly unaffected by his glare. Those blue eyes were dull and empty, and his face was blank. Once again, he had shifted into that unreadable appearance, and Jounouchi had no idea what he was thinking.
By this point, Jounouchi's body was starting to tremble with overwhelming fury He absolutely couldn't stand this guy. In fact, he hadn't felt the urge to hurt someone so badly since a lackey from Hirutani's gang violently punched Yugi in the face right in front of him.
No, his anger was almost greater than then. He didn't just want to hurt Kaiba, he almost wanted to...
As he looked down on Jounouchi, Kaiba set the empty pitcher down and moved to sit against the arm of the chair with his arms crossed.
"It's your own fault for thinking you could trick me," he said in a neutral tone. "You're far too predictable. I had already figured you'd try something like this far in advance, I just didn't realize how obvious it would be. Perhaps I gave you too much credit."
Jounouchi let out a quiet gasp with wide eyes. Kaiba had already predicted this move and had been waiting for it? Was he really that easy to figure out? He thought for sure he had come up with a great plan, but that bastard was already one step ahead.
Was there no hope for him?
Finally having had enough, Jounouchi slowly got to his feet, locking his narrowed eyes on Kaiba's. "You son of a bitch..." he growled fiercely in a trembling voice. "Is this amusing to you? Do you enjoy making fun of me and making me look like a fool?!"
"You don't need me to make you look like a fool."
"Where the hell do you get off?!"
"In your ass, usually."
Not exactly amused by the usual banter, Jounouchi's eyebrow twitched as he sneered in frustration. The tyrannical bastard wouldn't even take his anger seriously.
Pushing off the chair and moving toward Jounouchi, Kaiba took slow, steady steps, gazing at Jounouchi with a cool gaze that sent a chill down the other boy's spine. When Kaiba stopped in front of him, Jounouchi flinched slightly as the other young man reached up to touch his face, but continued to glare at Kaiba even as his fingers lightly brushed along Jounouchi's cheek and through his hair.
It was the tenderness in that touch that truly infuriated Jounouchi. It was like a mockery of the affection one would show a true lover. Only moments ago Kaiba was being condescending and cruel, and now he had once again switched personalities to become gentle. If Jounouchi had to choose, he'd prefer Kaiba just stay uncaring toward him all the time.
Because the tender affection only caused his mind and heart distress.
Was it just an act? A sick game to taunt him and make him feel foolish when he fell for it? Jounouchi couldn't stand it; in the end, it hurt to be treated so tenderly by this insensitive monster. Instead of being considered 'owned', he wanted to be a partner. Instead of being ordered around, he wanted to have a choice. Most of all, instead of being obsessed over by someone crazy possessive, he wanted a lover who actually made him feel important and loved.
But all he had was Kaiba.
Seeing the inner turmoil Jounouchi was beginning to suffer because of him, an involuntary feeling of remorse took over Kaiba, and compelled him to try easing the hurt he had caused. The blonde locks that passed between his fingers were still slightly damp, and while standing this close to Jounouchi he could smell the clean scent from the other boy's freshly washed skin. Whenever he was near him, Kaiba couldn't resist the urge to embrace Jounouchi's body and allow the warmth to seep into his numbed, icy core.
Fighting back his rising appetite, however, Kaiba let his fingers curl in Jounouchi's hair as he closed his eyes and leaned forward, letting his lips lightly touch the other boy's forehead as he spoke, "I already told you, you're mine." he said with a stern tone, but a soft voice. "Don't try to escape me, Jounouchi."
Kaiba pulled his head back some and tilted it, looking into Jounouchi's eyes. "I want you, and I won't let go. The sooner you accept that, the easier it'll be for you to accept me."
Things had gone on long enough; Kaiba had to stop hiding behind cynicism and callousness, even if he was risking the impenetrable fortress he'd secluded himself in to become the powerful, invulnerable man he was today. However, it had been so long since he'd encased his heart in ice to protect himself, he wasn't even sure how to express himself anymore. How was he supposed to put it? How did he tell Jounouchi what he felt without looking insincere, or weak and pathetic?
And if he opened up, would Jounouchi even listen at all?
Struggling with internal conflict and unfamiliar emotions, Kaiba started to lean in closer and bring their lips together.
However, before their lips met, Kaiba was roughly shoved back when Jounouchi grabbed his shoulders and propelled him backward while pushing into him. Kaiba stumbled back until the backs of his legs hit the edge of the coffee table and both boys went down, Kaiba landing flat on his back while Jounouchi landed on top.
The sturdy, wooden table managed to hold up under the combined weight, but before Kaiba could even move, Jounouchi was up on his hands and knees first, looming over Kaiba with an expression of disgust mixed with pain. Grabbing the ends of the hand towel still hanging over Kaiba's shoulders, Jounouchi suddenly crossed the ends and yanked, causing the towel to wrap and tighten around the other young man's throat.
It wasn't tight enough to cut off his breathing, but Kaiba could feel the threatening intent behind the action, and his breathing became more shallow. He forced himself to remain calm and fought down the urge to swallow. Instead of retaliating, Kaiba simply remained silent and still in order not to provoke Jounouchi any further.
Consumed by agonizing, mixed emotions, Jounouchi glared down into Kaiba's eyes and his hands trembled while gripping the ends of the towel. For a moment, he saw a flicker of what seemed to be surprise in Kaiba's eyes, but then they grew clouded and unreadable again. Tired of the games and always feeling thrown off and perplexed by the enigma staring back at him, Jounouchi's arms seemed to move on their own as he slowly began pulling the towel tighter.
"You... Don't screw with me..." Jounouchi's low, growling voice shook with barely contained rage as he spoke.
"Accept you? As if!" he continued, raising his voice. "I don't even want anything to do with you! You're a conceited, heartless, unfeeling piece of shit who treats people like garbage for his own sick, twisted amusement! If it weren't for Shizuka's condition, I never would have let a guy like you so much as lay a finger on me. I don't know what your deal is, but I'm not going to stay your slave forever!"
There was an almost imperceptible shift of emotion in Kaiba's eyes as he continued to stare up at Jounouchi but was seemingly unmoved by the fact that Jounouchi was on the verge of strangling him. A sense of unease began creeping up into the myriad of emotions plaguing Jounouchi's mind at the moment, and the emotional young man grew rigid.
Was this guy so indifferent and detached that he didn't even care about his own life?
During the brief moment of hesitation, Jounouchi felt Kaiba's hands suddenly take hold of his waist, and the other boy sat up partway to close some of the distance between them. The startled Jounouchi froze in uncertainty while Kaiba gazed at him.
"Then, what if it isn't a slave that I want anymore, but something more meaningful?" Kaiba questioned in a low voice. "What then, Jounouchi?"
Taken aback by the unexpected question, Jounouchi grew still and silent while he stared into the deep blue pools of Kaiba's eyes. There was no mocking look in them, nor a mocking tone in his voice. The often empty eyes void of emotion now held something in them Jounouchi had difficulty identifying.
Yearning? Pleading?
No. There's no way this could be real.
Feeling as though he had finally snapped and lost his mind, Jounouchi's grip on the towel weakened until his hands let go and his arms dropped to hang limply. He was so conflicted and disoriented that he was delayed in realizing it when Kaiba suddenly pressed his lips to his own, the kiss firm yet gentle at the same time.
While licking and nibbling Jounouchi's lips, Kaiba also slipped his hands beneath Jounouchi's shirt, trailing his fingers lightly over his bare back and creating goosebumps in the wake of his touch. Those long fingers that brushed along his skin tickled slightly, and Jounouchi's muscles quivered at the feeling. He realized his body was starting to react to the other boy's touch. It had gotten so used to those hands and lips that it would respond just from a little caressing and kissing.
Without him realizing it, Jounouchi's body really had become Kaiba's. And the thought that his heart might do the same suddenly terrified him.
Panicked and thrown into emotional chaos, Jounouchi quickly grabbed Kaiba's shoulders then roughly pushed the other boy down, forcing him on his back again. His heart thudded heavily in his chest and felt as though it would burst any second. There was no way Kaiba was telling the truth. No way he truly meant those words.
Jounouchi refused to believe it.
"Quit joking..." he whispered hoarsely. "Meaningful? You? Don't make me laugh. You... You're not capable of feeling."
The distressed young man's grip tightened until his nails started to dig in. When Jounouchi shifted his head to meet Kaiba's gaze, his bangs moved out of his face to reveal wet and trembling eyes.
"You're just a heartless bastard who only sees people as pawns. It's not enough to torture me and use me, but you would taunt me by talking about feelings and meaningful things? You'd insult me by being gentle and affectionate, only to turn on me again?"
Jounouchi's voice cracked as he shouted, "Do you really hate me so much to cause me this kind of agony and confusion?! My heart can't take it if you keep filling it with these weird feelings only to crush it again! I don't know what to think or how to feel!"
Before Jounouchi could continue his frantic outburst, he was distracted when Kaiba suddenly blurred in his vision, and something wet dripped onto the other young man's cheek then rolled off. Jounouchi's eyes widened slightly, and another tear fell from his eye to land on Kaiba's other cheek. A few more followed in succession and seemed to shock Kaiba as much as it did Jounouchi.
He was...crying? Why the hell would he do that?
Suddenly, Jounouchi realized Kaiba's expression had changed; he frowned deeply and his brows lowered over his eyes. It looked almost...sad.
"Jounouchi..."
When Kaiba's hand began to reach for Jounouchi's cheek, Jounouchi quickly batted it away and pulled back so the other boy couldn't touch him. Backing away from the table, the troubled young man quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his arm in embarrassment. What was he so worked up about it? And why was his heart aching so badly? Did the thought that there could never be something deeper between the two of them actually cause him more suffering than he thought?
Not wanting to make a bigger fool of himself in front of Kaiba, Jounouchi rushed over to his open book bag and grabbed it, ignoring the pain the weight caused his already sore muscles as he hefted it off the floor. He flung it over his shoulder and bolted for the door, pausing briefly as he took hold of the handle.
"Kaiba..."
Jounouchi shifted his eyes to glance at Kaiba, who was now sitting up on the edge of the table with his back to him.
"I'll find a way to free myself from you."
Without another word, Jounouchi flung the door open then slammed it shut behind him as he exited, leaving Kaiba sitting alone in silence.
Gripping the edge of the table with his hands, Kaiba sat unmoving with his head lowered and his dark bangs covering his eyes. The tear streaks on his face from Jounouchi were starting to dry, until more trickled down each cheek from beneath his hair, leaving fresh, wet trails in their wake.
With his foul mood festering just beneath the surface, Jounouchi clutched the strap of his bag hanging over his shoulder tightly as he stormed down the hallway with long strides. He was seething over Kaiba's sick, twisted idea of a joke. An actual relationship between the two of them? What kind of bullshit was that? They hated each other, after all. Kaiba was a selfish, cold-hearted sadist who only cared about himself like any other typical businessman. If Jounouchi let his guard down and opened himself to Kaiba, he'd only get hurt.
When he neared the top of the stairs, Jounouchi came to an abrupt halt before he crashed into someone else who had just climbed up the last step.
Mokuba looked up at Jounouchi in surprise then gave him a small smile.
"Oh, hey, Jounouchi."
"Uh, hey," Jounouchi responded awkwardly.
The Kaiba brothers had terrible personalities, but Mokuba was a tad bit more tolerable. He'd never felt quite as much hate toward the younger of the two brothers, but the twerp really annoyed him with the way he practically worshiped his older brother like the guy was a god or something. At times he could even be just like Kaiba, which fueled Jounouchi's dislike for the brat.
If only he knew the truth about his precious Nii-Sama and his 'hobbies', he wouldn't think so highly of him...
"By the way, how is your training going, Jounouchi?"
Pulled from his thoughts by the unusual question, Jounouchi blinked and looked down at Mokuba again.
"Huh? Training?"
Mokuba nodded. "Nii-Sama says he's training you, and that's why you're here so much."
Bewildered by Kaiba's idea of an excuse, Jounouchi suddenly envisioned himself resembling a dog while a cruelly laughing Kaiba stood holding a bone just out of his reach, taunting and giving orders like a dog trainer.
A vein throbbed on Jounouchi's temple while his face twisted in sheer outrage. "T-training? That son of a-!"
"Is it in Duel Monsters?" Mokuba interrupted curiously. "Cause you're kind of lousy at it. If Nii-Sama trained you then you might be halfway decent."
Mokuba smiled proudly when referring to his brother, not even seeming to realize how condescending the rest of it was.
Jounouchi, however, did not miss the disrespect to his character. "Why you little-!"
"Well, whatever it is," Mokuba continued, either not noticing or paying no mind to Jounouchi's offense. "It sure is making Nii-Sama happy."
Caught off guard by the revelation, Jounouchi's scowl and exasperation faded quickly as though draining away. He stared at Mokuba dumbstruck, his brows furrowing.
"Kaiba? Happy?" he echoed in disbelief.
Mokuba nodded with a widening smile. "I guess no one can tell except me cause I know Nii-Sama so well, but he's been in a better mood since you started spending time with him. It's kind of weird since he used to really dislike you."
Not even listening anymore to catch that last part, Jounouchi quietly stared at the ground in curious contemplation. It made Kaiba happy to have him around? He didn't notice anything different. Then again, he didn't know him the way Mokuba did.
In fact, he didn't know Kaiba much at all. Other than the fact that he was a possessive, obsessive, sex fiend and pervert. Jounouchi could have gone his whole life without knowing that though.
"Nii-Sama doesn't have very many friends," Mokuba admitted, then glanced down while fidgeting with his fingers. "Actually... He doesn't have any friends at all," he mumbled.
Grabbing his mouth, Jounouchi nearly snickered out loud and had to suppress a grin of amusement. He hardly found it surprising Kaiba had no friends. However, when he saw Mokuba's sorrowful face, Jounouchi's amusement faded quickly. Maybe he didn't like the two Kaiba brothers very much, but he could admire the deep bond they shared as siblings. As a big brother himself, he felt strangely compelled to comfort the younger boy.
Jounouchi quietly cleared his throat. "Well, uh, your brother's really busy and all, so he probably doesn't have time for friends." he offered, choosing to leave out the part about his shitty personality and twisted view of the world.
Mokuba's eyes shifted about some, not looking directly at Jounouchi. "Um, well, actually... It's because Nii-Sama has...trust issues," he explained hesitantly. "He's really distant from everyone because it's...the only way he can't be betrayed."
Jounouchi tilted his head while holding his chin, his eyebrows drawing together. "Betrayed...?" he murmured absentmindedly, as if to himself.
Remembering the subject coming up before, Jounouchi thought back to what Kaiba had said in the nurse's office:
"Jounouchi, don't ever betray me."
In truth, Jounouchi hadn't really thought about those words until now. Could it be that because Kaiba was afraid of being betrayed, he kept Jounouchi bound to him tightly?
Jounouchi then noticed Mokuba fiddling with something hanging around his neck that looked like the back of a Duel Monsters card. Now that Jounouchi thought about it, it was exactly like the one Kaiba always wore. Lifting the card hanging around his neck and holding it to face him, Mokuba popped it open and stared forlornly at something inside.
"Nii-Sama wasn't always like this. He used to be really happy and friendly, and he used to smile too."
Curiosity finally got the better of Jounouchi, and he stepped forward to lean in and look at what was in Mokuba's hand. The card-like charm was actually a locket that opened up to reveal a photo inside of a young boy with brown hair and blue eyes holding a chess piece in his hand while smiling happily at the camera.
Jounouchi's jaw nearly dropped. "No way, is that...Kaiba?!" he exclaimed, surprised by how cute the boy was.
Mokuba looked up at Jounouchi laughing. "Of course, it's Nii-Sama, dummy! Who else would it be?"
Though he was laughing and seemed amused by Jounouchi's confusion, the laugh trailed off and died quickly, while the smile faded as he looked back down at the photo.
"It was taken at the orphanage before we were adopted by Kaiba Gozaburo," Mokuba explained, his face beginning to cloud over with sorrow. "Nii-Sama...stopped smiling soon after that."
Jounouchi grew stiff and his eyes widened slightly. "Adopted...?"
Kaiba Gozaburo wasn't their real father, which meant they were already orphaned before he even died. The Kaiba brothers had suffered losing their parents twice, not once.
There was a hollow feeling of regret in Jounouchi's chest upon realizing that maybe he had misjudged Kaiba's life. Knowing only surface facts and little else, he'd only assumed the asshole lived a spoiled, lavish life and had a comfortable childhood, unlike himself. Now Jounouchi was beginning to understand there was a lot more beneath the surface than he realized.
Jounouchi had never really been interested in knowing about Kaiba before, but now he was more than just a little curious about the truth. Could the cause of Kaiba's withdrawn and callous personality be in his past?
"Hey, Mokuba, what happened to Kaiba to make him this way?"
The words were out of Jounouchi's mouth before he even realized he was asking them.
Giving a start at the question, Mokuba looked up at Jounouchi, seeming uncomfortable. It was as if he wanted to talk, but wasn't sure if he should. His large blue eyes flickered about, then he motioned with his head for Jounouchi to follow him further down the hall and away from the open staircase.
Upon moving further out of sight into a secluded hall, Mokuba glanced around a bit, then took a deep breath and sighed as though mentally preparing himself.
"Well, the truth is, Nii-Sama and I were orphaned really young. Our mother died from giving birth to me, then our father died in an accident a few years later when I was only three. We still had other relatives, and they took custody of us, but..."
Mokuba's large, blue eyes grew wet while lowering to the ground. "It wasn't because they cared about us, they just wanted our inheritance! But once the money was all gone, they no longer had a reason to keep us around anymore. So one day they took me and Nii-Sama to an orphanage and abandoned us there. Our own family...had betrayed us and threw us away..."
The young boy sniffled and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, clutching the card locket in his other hand against his heart.
Feeling an overwhelming sense of heartache, Jounouchi lowered his head and closed his eyes, his own tears welling up behind his closed lids as he struggled to hold them back. The sympathetic youth couldn't help but pity the Kaiba brothers of the past. If you can't trust your own family, who could you trust? For flesh and blood to turn on you so easily...
No wonder Kaiba had trust issues.
Maybe he hadn't had the greatest family circumstances himself, nor had he lived a privileged life, but even with the difficulties that came with divorced parents and a gambling-addicted, alcoholic for a father, Jounouchi's life hadn't been tragic. Personally, he couldn't understand the cold-hearted selfishness that would drive people to use and take advantage of others over something like money, especially their own family. Kaiba had learned a cruel, harsh lesson in life, and he had only been a child when he did.
"Kaiba Gozaburo wasn't much better." Mokuba continued, his tone growing hard and spiteful. "He was awful to Nii-Sama and pushed him really hard to make him worthy of being his heir. He forced a strict and brutal educational regimen on Nii-Sama, practically torturing him even though he was just a boy. Every day, Nii-Sama was put in a tight collar like some animal, and spent hours and hours studying and refining himself without rest - always suffering under the threat of that man's whip, and even getting beaten if he wasn't vigilant enough. It was like hell..."
Jounouchi's lowered head jerked up then with a look of shock.
"He did all that...to a little kid...?" he murmured under his breath.
Jounouchi suddenly felt sick to his stomach at the thought of a child enduring such inhumane, deplorable treatment. However, a lot of the puzzle pieces were falling into place now, and he was beginning to understand how Kaiba turned out the way he is today.
"'Losing is a fate worse than death.'"
Unprepared for such a random and kind of strange statement, Jounouchi stared at Mokuba in startled confusion. The young boy was staring at his brother's picture once again with an empty look in his eyes.
"That was the lesson Kaiba Gozaburo imprinted upon Nii-Sama so that he wouldn't be weak and vulnerable, only focused on succeeding. That man stole Nii-Sama's childhood, while our relatives stole his faith in other people. Since then, Nii-Sama has turned unfriendly and withdrawn, and he never smiles anymore."
"Other than me, he won't get close to anyone because he doesn't trust people. He's convinced everyone is out for themselves because that's what he learned when we were little. Right after we ended up in the orphanage, Nii-Sama told me if we show weakness or let our guard down, then we'll get used and be hurt again. That's what he truly believes..."
Seeming somewhat distressed, Mokuba looked up at Jounouchi with mournful eyes. "Nii-Sama isn't a bad person, really!" he insisted. "He's just really careful about not appearing vulnerable, or opening himself up only to be betrayed, but deep down I know he's lonely. He's just not good at being honest about how he feels."
The boy then looked uncertain but hopeful. "So, do you think maybe... C-could you possibly try...being friends with him?"
Flabbergasted by such an awkward and unconventional request coming from the younger Kaiba brother, Jounouchi stared at Mokuba with a slack-jawed expression.
Be friends with Kaiba? How would that even work? Would that even work?
Jounouchi looked up thoughtfully, trying to imagine that scenario.
Kaiba sitting with them at lunch, or hanging out with them around the school campus. Talking and laughing with the group like one of the guys, or going over to Yugi's place after school to play games.
The two of them exchanging secret but meaningful glances, or flirting when the others weren't looking. Stealing away from the group for 'private' moments. Sneaking passionate kisses, discreetly touching each other, or holding hands. Going home together, just the two of them, to spend long, intimate nights doing everything but sleeping...
With his mind wandering in a dangerous direction, the distracted Jounouchi blushed then shook his head as if trying to shake the thoughts out. There was no way, not after everything they had been through. Not when Jounouchi had committed himself to escaping Kaiba's clutches.
Clearing his throat, Jounouchi returned his gaze to Mokuba. "Well, uh, i-it's not really my choice..." he began, figuring Kaiba wouldn't be interested in being 'friends' anyway.
At the look of dejected disappointment on Mokuba's face, Jounouchi felt some guilt-induced panic and quickly added on to his answer.
"B-but if Kaiba wants to...hang out...then I guess we can."
Recovering a little too quickly, Mokuba beamed up at Jounouchi gratefully. "Thanks, Jounouchi!"
Though still kind of annoying, somehow the little brat didn't seem so bad after all. He really cared about his brother and worried for him. The two of them only ever had each other rely on, and no one else. They had no choice but to grow up quickly and become strong, even at the cost of their childhood and the innocence it afforded them.
Jounouchi felt he better understood the Kaiba brothers now.
"Oi, Mokuba," Jounouchi glanced at the card with the young Kaiba's photo in it, then Mokuba again. "Has Kaiba really never smiled again...?"
The large eyes staring up at him slowly blinked once with a distant look to them, as though Mokuba was searching his memories over the past several years. Suddenly, the blue irises began to shrink while all color drained from his face, a look of melancholy washing over his features instead.
"W-what? What is it?" Jounouchi asked in alarm.
"There was...one time..." Mokuba answered in a quiet voice.
Clutching the Duel Monsters locket in both hands, Mokuba lowered his gaze to the ground.
"That day..." he mumbled in a barely audible voice. "When Nii-Sama stole Kaiba Corp from Gozaburo..."
Everyone gathered in the meeting room was solemnly silent, and the tension was so thick that the atmosphere was almost suffocating. The meeting of the Board of Directors had led to the conclusion that Seto would be the new owner of Kaiba Corp.
All members of the board were standing gathered behind the young man himself while he sat at one end of the long table, smirking menacingly at Gozaburo sitting at the opposite end. The older man had been stunned into silence as he stared in furious disbelief at his adopted son surrounded by the partners who had betrayed him. Seto had successfully turned the others against Gozaburo and convinced them to join his side, thus granting him greater power than his father.
"Kaiba Corp is mine; I win," Seto announced with arrogant pride.
Mokuba was standing off to the side watching the scene unfold with a feeling of excited joy swelling in his chest. Finally... Finally, the life they had dreamed of since being abandoned would come true! With Gozaburo no longer in control, the days of misery and torture would end, and the life of happiness Seto had promised when they were children would finally begin!
It was a long, painful road, but it would be worth it in the end.
Without warning, maniacal laughter abruptly cut through the silence in the room as Gozaburo slammed his hands down on the table while pushing up out of his chair.
"Well done, Seto!" he bellowed with a wild and crazed look on his face. "You're the winner! That means there's only one fate left for me as the loser!"
In the next instant, the defeated man was running before anyone could bat an eye.
The sound of the shattering window was almost deafening as Gozaburo's body smashed through the glass wall at the back of the office, sending him plummeting from the top floor to the city street below. His demented laughter could be heard growing fainter until it abruptly ceased altogether. Distant screams of terror and panic immediately followed.
Shocked by what had just occurred, the businessmen who had been standing by Seto clamored over to the window Gozaburo had jumped through, Seto himself remaining seated in his chair.
Mokuba, however, stood wide-eyed and frozen in place, overwhelmed by the scene he'd just witnessed. It wasn't exactly the outcome he had wished for, but there was no changing it now. The tyrant was gone, and the two of them could begin their lives anew, just like they always dreamed of.
And Mokuba's kind big brother who still knew how to smile and laugh would finally come back.
Recovering his senses, Mokuba began to rush to Seto's side happily. "Nii-Sama!"
Then the young boy halted and nearly stumbled as the excited smile on his face melted away upon catching a glimpse of his brother's expression.
Seto was smiling.
But it wasn't a happy smile, or a nice smile. It was a scary one that frightened Mokuba more than seeing Gozaburo commit suicide. His brother's lips were pulled up into an amused, delighted smile, while the empty eyes staring at the broken window held no emotion at all.
"Losing is a fate worthy of death." the unaffected young man said in a neutral tone. "Thank you for teaching me that lesson...'Father'..."
Chills ran down Mokuba's spine while his elated heart, which had been soaring only a second ago, now dropped like a stone from the weight of realization. Feeling weak and crushed by heavy sorrow, Mokuba slowly sank to the ground and stared with unfocused eyes at the young man before him.
Kaiba Gozaburo was gone, but his presence wasn't. The cruel man's poison had already seeped in and tainted Seto's mind and heart completely.
Mokuba's big brother wasn't coming back.
By the time he finished recounting the tale of Kaiba's rise to power, Mokuba was trembling lightly at the memory.
"All I wanted was for the Nii-Sama who remembered how to smile to come back. Instead, he turned into a hardened, calculating businessman who kept everyone around him at a safe distance while obsessing over winning and getting his way. All I could do was stay by his side and support him as his only family."
Finally, Mokuba turned his misty eyes up to Jounouchi again. "But he's let you get close, Jounouchi. I don't know what's going on between you two, but I hope it will be good for Nii-Sama."
At the look of desperate hope on Mokuba's face, Jounouchi felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on his conscience, and he knew it was the weight of guilt. All the things he'd said and done involving Kaiba, while never knowing just what he'd gone through, played in Jounouchi's mind like scenes from a movie. Including the encounter from just a short while ago, where he swore to be rid of Kaiba.
Jounouchi rubbed his eyes with the sleeve of his blazer, feeling too overwhelmed to continue and desperate to get out quickly.
"I uh, I gotta get going, Mokuba," he said while sniffling. "I'll see you around."
After exchanging brief goodbyes with Mokuba, Jounouchi made a quick exit while keeping his head down as he descended the stairs and strolled out the door. As always, a car was waiting for Jounouchi out front when he exited the mansion, and the usual driver opened the back door for him when he approached. Already accustomed to the routine, Jounouchi simply climbed into the back then flopped against the seat with a heavy sigh.
Leaning his head against the glass of the window, the listless young man stared out at nothing in particular as the vehicle began to drive away from the grand building, looking cold and lonely against the darkening evening sky despite its splendor.
Uncertainty, confusion, guilt, and so many restless thoughts were assaulting Jounouchi's mind at that moment, chipping away at his mental image of Kaiba Seto and making Jounouchi second guess everything up until that point. The newly acquired knowledge he'd just gained left him with a strong sense of unease and doubt. The story of Kaiba's past and the hardships he'd had to endure all before he even hit puberty had completely thrown Jounouchi's thoughts into chaotic disarray.
"What if it isn't a slave I want anymore? What if it's something more meaningful? What then, Jounouchi?"
"Other than me, he won't get close to anyone because he doesn't trust people. Deep down, I know he's lonely."
Jounouchi stiffened as the Kaiba brothers' words surfaced in his mind, and he looked at his reflection and the somber expression on his face in the glass. Even if Kaiba's background story wasn't an excuse for his behavior and the awful things he'd done, it at least offered an explanation as to why the guy was so messed up. It never occurred to Jounouchi to think about alternative reasons for Kaiba's personality, other than he was just an asshole.
"You're a cold, heartless bastard. You're not capable of feeling."
Flinching as the thoughtless accusations he'd made echoed in his memory, Jounouchi turned away from his reflection in shame. He had been really pissed at the time, but he hadn't thought about how his words may have made Kaiba feel.
Had Kaiba really been opening up to Jounouchi back then? Lowering his guard and baring a part of himself that he kept hidden from the world for fear of being hurt?
Closing his eyes, Jounouchi heaved another deep sigh and leaned his head back while placing a hand over his face. The uncomfortable feeling in his chest only seemed to grow in intensity. It was as if his heart was in a vice, gripped by the crushing weight of angst and guilt. But this pain was probably nothing compared to what Kaiba must have felt.
Maybe Jounouchi was the real bastard after all.
The alarm clock's shrill beeping sounded irritatingly loud, despite Jounouchi's head being buried beneath his pillow. The bundled-up youth's arm shot out from beneath the cocoon of covers and banged around on the bedside table until he found the alarm clock, then roughly slammed his hand on the button. Having accomplished its task, Jounouchi's arm flopped straight down to hang off the bed while he remained lying on his stomach, not even attempting to emerge from his disheveled nest of bedding.
At some point during the night, Jounouchi's father had come home late, as he often did, and started making a racket while arguing with someone over the phone. Jounouchi had been too exhausted to care what it was about, and had simply put the pillow over his head to block out the noise. Fortunately, it had worked, and Jounouchi managed to get his much-needed sleep, though it didn't feel close to enough.
After several minutes, the groggy young man managed to climb out of bed and stretch his stiff body. A sharp, burning pain flared up in his muscles throughout his back, glutes, and legs, and Jounouchi groaned painfully while hunching over. Hot, throbbing aches seemed to pulse in every part of his being, and it took a moment for Jounouchi to stretch and rub out the kinks.
Between the strain of lugging around his heavy bag and the wild sex session he and Kaiba had engaged in the day before, Jounouchi's body felt as though it had been run over by a truck, repeatedly. The worst part was it hadn't even been worth it in the end. Kaiba had seen through Jounouchi's plan with ease and destroyed it.
Remembering his humiliating failure and defeat, Jounouchi moodily snatched up a bottle of aspirin, now a permanent resident of his bedside table, and took a couple to help ease today's aches and pains. He wasn't really a fan of starting his days in a bad mood, but it seemed to be happening a lot more often lately.
After grabbing a pair of uniform pants and putting them on, Jounouchi picked up a white shirt off the ground, gave it a couple of sniffs, then shrugged and pulled it on over his head. When he automatically grabbed up the leather cuff from his bedside table and put it on, Jounouchi froze in realization, then looked down at the accessory on his arm. It had become so natural to wear it every day that after a month he simply put it on without even thinking now.
As Jounouchi stared at the leather studded band around his wrist, he suddenly felt incredibly drained and dispirited. The previous day's events came flooding back like a tsunami, and feelings of guilt, regret, and anxiety washed in with the floodwaters like fatal debris.
Had he really hurt Kaiba yesterday with the things he'd said? Had the other boy really taken the chance to open up to him, only for Jounouchi to throw his feelings back in his face? And what would things be like today? Would Kaiba just pretend nothing had happened and behave normally? If he did, could Jounouchi do the same knowing what he knew now about Kaiba's past?
Too many questions without answers kept beating against his brain like waves crashing repeatedly on the shore. Jounouchi began growing more and more reluctant to face the other boy. More than usual, at least.
Glancing at his phone on the bedside table, he picked it up to message Honda and inform him he wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be going to school that day. It wasn't exactly a lie; his back and ass were killing him, after all.
After Honda replied with a message expressing his concern, Jounouchi assured him that he'd be fine by tomorrow. Not that it really mattered, since they would be off of school the next day anyway. Once his exchange with Honda was concluded, Jounouchi was about to close his phone when he realized there was someone else he should message. He hesitated while nibbling at his lower lip, then typed a message.
"Feeling bad. Not coming in today."
Pausing before pressing the 'Send' button, Jounouchi tried to think of anything else to say, but nothing came to mind. After a few moments of hesitation, he finally hit the button and sent the message to Kaiba. Jounouchi then turned off his phone, nervous about any kind of response the other boy might have. At least he informed Kaiba he wasn't coming in, and that should be enough, right?
Feeling utterly spent, Jounouchi set his phone aside and removed his uniform pants, leaving him in just his shirt and boxers. He climbed back into bed and dozed off shortly afterward.
{*}
A couple of hours later, the loud, crashing bang of the front door slamming open startled Jounouchi from his sleep and he nearly fell out of his bed in surprise. He then groaned in frustration and yanked the pillow over his head again. He wished his father would keep the drunken rampages at a more reasonable noise level.
Uninterested in what the old man was doing, Jounouchi closed his eyes and tried to ignore the loud noises coming from beyond his room. He just barely heard a voice, but couldn't understand what it was saying while buried under the pillow. Then another voice that was a little closer to the bedroom responded.
Neither was his father's.
"Check the back." a deep, gruff voice suggested.
The sound of the unfamiliar voices so close to his room sent Jounouchi's adrenaline pumping at full speed. Eyes widening in panic, he yanked the pillow off his head and bolted upright just as his door swung open with a slam.
A tall man in a long, black coat with straight, dark hair running down the length of his neck and flipping out a bit just above his shoulders stood in Jounouchi's doorway. He looked to be mid to late twenties and wore a deep red button-up shirt with black slacks. The shirt's first few buttons were left undone, exposing some of the man's muscular chest and revealing the large, snake-like neck and partial head of what appeared to be a black dragon tattoo. He leered at Jounouchi over the frames of rectangular sunglasses with slanted, deep brown eyes, one marred with a large scar extending above the eyebrow and reaching down part of his cheek.
It was a cliché appearance, but it was enough for Jounouchi to identify who - or what - this man was.
Yakuza.
"The hell? It's just a kid." grumbled the cliché with a displeased look on his face.
Jounouchi was frozen in place, his eyes wide and his heart pounding wildly in alarm. Why the hell was the Yakuza in his apartment?
"Oi, Kamui, you find him?" the deep, gruff voice called from somewhere nearby.
"Nah, just some kid. Probably the son." the man named Kamui responded nonchalantly, as though Jounouchi wasn't even there.
'Him'?
Of course. They were looking for his father. They had to be. What had that drunken idiot gotten himself into this time?
Jounouchi took a silent breath and tried to hold his voice steady while his eyes narrowed on the older man. "Look, whatever you want with my old man, it's got nothing to do with me," he stated boldly.
Kamui tilted his head some, his face impassive as he regarded Jounouchi with cold eyes. "Maybe..." he mumbled in disinterest. "But if we can't find your old man, then someone has to pay. You see, your dad owes our...'loan agency' money, and if we can't get it from him, we'll have to find another way."
Jounouchi's face blanched, and he suddenly felt chilled down to his bones as he started to piece things together.
Loan sharks, seriously? His father owed the damn Yakuza money? What was this, some kind of lousy, B-rated crime movie? Could the situation get any more cliché?
A built, bald man with similar black glasses suddenly appeared behind Kamui, most likely his partner and owner of the second voice. This thug was dressed in a brown business suit with the blazer left open over a white dress shirt, and a scar extending from his ear in a curve that nearly reached the corner of his mouth.
"He's not here, Kamui. Looks like he might have run." the man reported in the same gruff voice Jounouchi had heard earlier. "Guess we shouldn't have called him last night and just surprised him this morning instead. Now we gotta collect the money another way."
The sense of dread Jounouchi had been feeling intensified greatly, and his heartbeat grew so loud in his head it nearly drowned out all other sound.
Kamui looked at the young man with intense eyes, and Jounouchi felt himself breaking out into a cold sweat at the way he seemed to be appraising him - like a cow being sent to the slaughter. Jounouchi severely regretted not going to school today. He glanced quickly at his phone then back at the men, but before he could make any move Kamui reached behind his back beneath the coat and whipped a pistol out to point it at Jounouchi.
"Don't do anything stupid, brat," he warned in a stern voice. "You wouldn't want to get hurt now, would you?"
That definitely was not a bluff only meant to scare him into submission. Trying to keep his face schooled to conceal his fear, Jounouchi clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes. A drop of sweat trickled down his temple as his eyes flickered to the gun then back up to Kamui. Swallowing the thick lump in his throat, Jounouchi straightened up a bit to adopt a more confident air.
"Oh? And you don't plan on hurting me already?" he asked with an indignant tone.
Kamui smiled sinisterly. "That's up to you. Since your old man isn't here, looks like you're coming with us either way. Just be a good boy and cooperate."
Irritation crept into the foreground of Jounouchi's mind at those final words. That statement pissed him off and ate away at some of the fear. However, they were far more chilling coming from this guy than they ever were coming from Kaiba. Armed, dangerous, and more than capable of killing him, Jounouchi decided it was in his best interest to listen to them for now.
Hesitating as he looked warily between the two men, Jounouchi slowly and carefully climbed out of bed. As he began reaching down for his pants on the ground where he'd left them, Kamui's voice made him halt.
"Leave those," he ordered. "You won't be needing them at the studio."
Jounouchi gasped quietly with widened eyes. He stood frozen in fear, his arm still in mid-reach for his pants.
Studio? Were they planning to...?
"Move it, brat!" the bald man shouted when Jounouchi remained immobile.
"Now, now... Be nice, Sano." Kamui grinned while playfully chiding his partner with a sarcastic tone. "You wouldn't want to scare the poor little guy."
A pensive Jounouchi had nearly jumped at the abrupt outburst, but he managed to maintain his composure while righting himself again and wearing a stoic expression. As an experienced street fighter who had faced numerous adversaries, Jounouchi knew not to give his emotions away to the enemy. He had the natural ability to keep his guard up and be prepared to strike at first chance, even against multiple opponents. All he had to do was remain focused.
Taking a deep, quiet breath, Jounouchi slowly started to approach the two men, keen eyes seeking an opening, and the one called Sano stepped aside to clear the door for the apprehensive young man.
Jounouchi knew he couldn't go with them, he had to do something. He was a brawler, and a damn good one, but a gun put him at too much of a disadvantage. The risk of getting injured or killed was too great. If he could just get the gun away from that Kamui guy, then he may have a chance. If anything, he might be able to make enough racket to alert the neighbors and cause someone to investigate or call the cops.
As he neared Kamui, who kept his eyes - and gun - trained on Jounouchi, the emboldened youth took his chance and rushed the man.
Caught off guard, Kamui didn't have a chance to react when Jounouchi grabbed his wrist and forearm with both hands and rammed them into the wall with great force. Stunned and unprepared for the assault, Kamui let out a shout of surprise and pain as the gun slipped out of his grasp and clattered on the floor. Stomping on it then sending it sliding across the floor and under his bed, Jounouchi then pulled back his right arm and drove it forward to bring his fist into Kamui's stomach, making him double over in pain and his jaw drop.
"You little bastard!" Sano shouted as he charged Jounouchi.
Hurriedly dodging the punch and knocking Sano's arm away, throwing him off balance, Jounouchi dropped to a crouch and came up with a hard uppercut, making the older man's head snap back and causing him to stumble backward to crash into the wall.
Regaining his footing faster than Jounouchi had anticipated, Kamui charged Jounouchi from the side and tackled the boy to the ground. Jounouchi hit hard and had the wind knocked from his lungs from the weight of the grown man landing on top of him. Kamui held Jounouchi down as he pulled something out of his inner coat pocket.
"You'll pay for that, you little shit!" Kamui sneered as he held up a crackling taser in his hand.
Eyes wide with shock and immobilized by fear, Jounouchi was helpless to do anything as the other man rammed the taser into his neck. Jounouchi let out a scream as thousands of volts of electricity shot through his body and made him seize up. His eyes rolled back in his head then closed.
Everything went dark as consciousness slipped away.

{*}
A bright flash of light pointed directly at his face pierced Jounouchi's closed eyelids and roused his muddled mind to a fuzzy state of awareness.
With his senses gradually returning, Jounouchi slowly opened his eyes then squinted against the harsh, blinding light hitting his sensitive retinas too abruptly. There was a sharp, stinging sensation in his neck where the taser had shocked him, and his body and brain felt heavy. Something like cloth was stuffed in his mouth between his teeth and wrapped around his head, gagging him and muffling his voice. When he realized he was lying on his back, Jounouchi tried to move to sit up and found his hands were bound over his head. Tilting his head back to look, he discovered both wrists tied to the metal bars of the bed he was currently occupying.
Realization began sinking in like a lead weight as Jounouchi pieced together the situation then began to struggle against his restraints in a panic.
"Finally awake, brat?" a familiar voice asked.
Startled and now fully alert, Jounouchi jerked his head to the right and saw Kamui sitting in a backwards chair with his arms crossed over the top, cigarette in his mouth, glasses off, and a cruel smirk on his face. Nearby were a few other men, including Sano, and one of them was fiddling with a digital camera. Jounouchi swallowed hard as he glanced around the small room.
It was plain with windowless, concrete walls and floor, furnished only with the metal frame bed he was lying on, a few chairs, a couple of standing lights, which were adjusted to provide adequate lighting on Jounouchi, and a couple of tables pushed together in an L shape in the corner to his right. On the tables sat a computer, a couple of monitors, and other electronic equipment that Jounouchi didn't recognize. Probably for editing and creating DVDs.
Like the DVDs stacked in piles on parts of the tables and even the floor. The few covers he could make out had very pornographic images on the front, most with boys and young men engaged in sex.
Jounouchi really, really should have gone to school today.
Kamui exhaled one last breath of smoke before dropping his cigarette on the ground. He stood and stepped around the chair to snuff it out with his shoe, then pulled his coat back and let it slide down his arms before draping it over the chair. The gangster then walked over to the bed and stood over Jounouchi with a sadistic grin.
"Tough luck, kid, looks like you're gonna have to earn the money your pops owes us." he said while bending down with his hands in his pockets "Don't worry, we'll edit out your face. Maybe. Depends on how sexy you look..."
The older man's eyes gleamed while roaming the bound youth's body as though evaluating him. Jounouchi's heart began racing so fast he thought it might give out at any second, while his labored breathing became erratic to the point he was almost hyperventilating.
Kamui's grin widened as though enjoying the scene then stood straight again. "You were a real pain earlier," he stated while beginning to unbutton his shirt. "You should have cooperated. I can't guarantee I'll be very gentle, now..."
Reaching the final button of his shirt, Kamui opened it to fully reveal the snake-like dragon made of black, ink-like flames on his broad chest. The tattoo's tail end swooped up from his left pec, over his shoulder then came around the other side of his neck, as though the creature were draped over his shoulders like a pet. It swept over the right pec to the middle of his chest where the curving body slithered to connect with a horned, dragon head glaring fiercely while exposing a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and a forked tongue. A pair of arms with long, pointed claws were pulled up as though ready to tear into its victim.
Proof of Yakuza status in Japan: badass tattoos.
Dropping his shirt and baring his ripped torso adorned with a few scars here and there, Kamui placed his left knee on the bed beside Jounouchi's right hip, then the right knee planted beside the bound boy's left hip. Kamui loomed over Jounouchi and leered down at him while licking the corner of his lips hungrily, looking every bit like the beast on his chest ready to devour helpless prey.
"You were pretty tough back at your place," Kamui commented with the dangerous-looking eyes of a predator. "But I'm going to reduce you to moaning, crying mess begging for more of my dick."
Suddenly feeling underestimated and offended, Jounouchi's eyes narrowed sharply at the arrogant bastard who almost made Kaiba enjoyable to be with. Thanks to the other boy's kinks, Jounouchi was already used to rough treatment and weird sex play. However, at least he knew Kaiba personally and trusted him during sex.
To an extent, at least.
Plus Kaiba never planned on making money off of Jounouchi by selling smut films with him as the 'star'. Jounouchi almost wished he was with the other boy now. He'd rather be at school getting screwed by Kaiba than here with these pieces of human garbage. He would rather face the awkward, clumsy idiot trying to express himself and his feelings, even though he was lousy at it, and find some way to just get past the day before and go back to normal. He would rather be in that tight embrace now, tasting the hot, passionate kisses that made his mind numb and his body melt, and hearing the smooth, sonorous voice calling his name so desperately...
Jounouchi wanted Kaiba.
"Sano, give me the stuff," Kamui commanded, disrupting the distracted young man's thoughts.
With a grunt of affirmation, Sano went over to one of the tables and took something out of a briefcase. Jounouchi couldn't see what he was doing, but when the man turned around he held a syringe in his hand. Reminded of the situation at hand, Jounouchi's heart nearly stopped and his blood turned to ice. Sano walked over to the bed and handed the needle to Kamui, who gave the plunger a little push and made a small amount of clear liquid squirt out.
The older man's dark eyes fell upon Jounouchi's helpless being again, and his lips parted in a devilish grin. "This'll help you feel good..."
Not exactly eager to find out what that meant, Jounouchi started squirming and struggling, the bed rattling and clattering from the force of his attempts. Still positioned on his knees and nearly losing his balance from the shaking, Kamui bent down and pressed a hand to the boy's chest while leaning into him with his weight.
"Better settle down, kid," he warned with a sharp edge to his voice. "You wouldn't want me to mess up and jab you in the wrong spot."
Ceasing his struggles in favor of the lesser of two evils, Jounouchi froze and could only watch as Kamui moved in with the needle. The anxious young man's widened eyes followed the needle as far as they could until the tip was poking his flesh. Every muscle in his body tensed and he made a grunt of pain as it passed into his neck and whatever was inside entered his bloodstream.
After injecting Jounouchi with some of the liquid inside the syringe, Kamui pulled the needle back and handed the object off to Sano again. Biting down on the cloth gag clenched between his teeth, Jounouchi waited anxiously while starting to shiver from the cold sweat beginning to drench his clothes, further fueled by the cold grip of fear. Whatever they had just used on him couldn't be good. However, as the seconds ticked by, whatever he was injected with never took effect.
What exactly had they put in him?
"Let's get started already, Kamui." the man with the camera griped.
"Yeah, yeah," Kamui responded in exasperation.
Then it began.
The camera came on, the lights were shining on him, and a strange man was grabbing the waist of his boxers and forcing them off roughly. Jounouchi's chest began to heave in panic and his heart throbbed wildly to the point that it was painful. This wasn't the same as getting into a scrap with another gang of thugs. He couldn't recall feeling this kind of terror before. Jounouchi was completely and utterly helpless, unable to defend or fight back, and at the mercy of the actual Yakuza.
After removing the young man's boxers, Kamui grabbed the collar of Jounouchi's shirt and ripped it down the middle, fully exposing his torso.
"Damn, look at all those love bites!" Kamui remarked as though impressed, eyeing the hickeys covering Jounouchi's chest. "Looks like the kid's got himself a wild little girlfriend."
"Might be an older woman." Sano chimed in. "Those mature ladies love to eat up young guys like him."
"Maybe we should sell her a copy of the video." the cameraman added with a grin as he panned Jounouchi's body.
Unable to suppress a feeling of frustrated embarrassment, despite the situation he was in, Jounouchi clenched his jaw in anger while his face turned beet red. Even when he wasn't around, that damn Kaiba could still manage to piss him off.
Suddenly, the feeling of his soft member being grasped and fondled made Jounouchi gasp through his nose and jerk his hips in surprise. Kamui was groping and massaging his flaccid penis to get it up, though Jounouchi wasn't exactly responding, given the circumstances. But even as he stroked and squeezed to no avail, Kamui seemed undeterred, and merely smirked at the stubborn Jounouchi.
"I prefer women more, but I don't mind screwing around with guys." the older man said while bringing his face close to the limp dick.
"Besides," he gave Jounouchi a mischievous grin. "It's what's on the 'inside' that counts."
As much as Jounouchi hated to admit it, he really didn't want anyone other than Kaiba getting familiar with what was on his 'inside'.
The feeling of a hot, wet tongue giving his soft manhood a sensual lick caused Jounouchi to grunt with a start as Kamui began teasing Jounouchi's dick with playful licks and kisses to rouse it from its state of disinterest. So far, the mixture of fear, anxiety, and panic had prevented any physical reaction to Kamui's efforts.
However, with the introduction of further, more persistent stimulation, it seemed his body was giving up the resistance.
Trying to fight back against his base instincts, Jounouchi struggled to resist the powerful urge swelling in his loins, growing more and more intense by the second. Heat began building in his groin and spreading through his body, while his dick grew harder and thicker in Kamui's hands. Jounouchi's breathing became heavy, though not from the fear he was feeling before, and groans began rumbling in his throat.
The will to remain unresponsive was weakening to the point of dying out as arousal began to overtake his senses and ability to think clearly. Finally, to his dismay, Jounouchi became fully erect to the point of throbbing painfully with excitement and the need for orgasmic relief.
Seeming to notice the change in Jounouchi's mood, Kamui chuckled and stroked up and down the length of his shaft.
"Looks like the drug is starting to kick in," he observed while rubbing his thumb over the wet glans. "You'll feel even better soon..."
At the moment, it was already feeling too good for Jounouchi's liking. The searing hot tongue licking the glans and head of his member was so intensely pleasurable it made Jounouchi's dick feel swollen and achingly hard. He tried to bite back a groan rising in his throat and shut his eyes tightly, already able to feel his mind beginning to slip away under the influence of the drug and his doped up libido.
Sweat dripped down his neck and trickled from his temple, matting his blonde locks to his wet skin as his body temperature seemed to grow steadily. Was it the lights making him hot? He felt really hot for some reason. And Kamui's hand and tongue felt great. The older man was rough but the friction felt amazing. When he suddenly went down on the solid, throbbing erection, Jounouchi nearly lost it.
"Mmf!"
Dropping his head back and letting out a muffled moan that vibrated in his stuffed mouth and throat, Jounouchi's mind was soon engulfed in a fog of ecstasy the way his dick was engulfed by Kamui's hot, tight mouth. Without realizing it, he even started moving his hips and thrusting in desperation, all logic and reason washing away in waves of pleasure. His sexual high was becoming so great that he didn't care about anything else anymore, he just wanted to come.
The sudden feeling of something prodding his anus caused Jounouchi to inhale sharply through his nose and his eyelids flew open as he realized Kamui's finger was seeking entry into his asshole. Using the fluids already gathering at his entrance, the older man began slowly inserting his finger and Jounouchi let out another muffled groan. Lifting his eyes to meet Jounouchi's while continuing to go down on him, there was a hint of sadistic delight in those hard, dark eyes at the way the young man was responding.
The pleasure in Jounouchi's groin grew until it became more distracting, causing Jounouchi's inner muscles to relax and allow Kamui's finger deeper into his ass. As the gangster sucked and slurped on Jounouchi's twitching dick, his long finger stroked and massaged the quivering youth's insides, pressing and rubbing his swollen sweet spot.
"Mmnn!"
Jounouchi squirmed and moaned as he was sucked off and fingered at the same time. He arched his back and curled his toes in the sheets as sheer pleasure gripped his body and drove him to the brink.
Kamui suddenly pulled up from his blowjob but continued fingering and jerking Jounouchi off while watching his captive writhe and gasp in ecstasy. His tongue danced along his wet lips, looking highly pleased with the scene before him.
"That's it," he encouraged with a wicked grin. "Give us a nice, hot cum shot, kid..."
Whatever Kamui had given him was making Jounouchi more sensitive than usual, and the high was like a euphoric haze amplifying his lust and leaving his head empty of all else. Finally reaching his limit, Jounouchi was unable to hold back his voice behind the gag as the all-consuming pleasure seized his entire being and sent him rushing to a massive climax.
"Mmmnn!"
A burst of pleasure had Jounouchi moaning and gasping while his body spasmed and convulsed with the powerful orgasm. A few shots of thick, heavy cum splattered along the length of his torso, the slimy fluid's heat feeling higher than normal, much like the rest of his body's temperature. Whimpers and groans hummed in his tight throat as Kamui continued to jerk his dick until the very last drop.
After a few moments, Jounouchi's spasms died out along with the lingering sensations of his hard climax. The high of sexual thrill began to crash as comprehension and sense dragged Jounouchi back down to reality and into a pit of revulsion and humiliation. He'd just had an amazing orgasm at the hands of a stranger, and he felt good from it. Jounouchi hadn't even felt this disgusted during his and Kaiba's first time together.
Sitting back on his heels and gazing down on the despairing young man, Kamui dragged two fingers through a cum puddle on Jounouchi's belly and gathered some up with a pleased grin.
"That was a great scene," he commented approvingly. "You've got a talent for being a bottom bitch. Although..."
Using two fingers now, Kamui drew a stifled yelp from Jounouchi when he suddenly shoved the lubed-up digits into his ass once more and began reaching deep, twisting them around and getting a feel of the young man's tight anal cavity.
"You seem pretty open down here, and you were really feeling it when I was playing with your hole," he said while smirking knowingly. "Even if we did drug you it should still take some getting used to..."
The cameraman let out a snort of laughter. "Heh, guess it wasn't a girlfriend who left those marks after all..." he chuckled lasciviously while moving in for a close-up of Jounouchi's twitching, wet hole being spread by Kamui's fingers.
"That's perfect," Kamui commented in an ominous tone while removing his fingers. "Straight virgins are a hassle, but experienced, dick-loving queers make for a fantastic fuck..."
At the word 'queer', Jounouchi's drug-muddled brain began to revive again as outrage and embarrassment burned in his chest and set his face aflame as well. It pissed him off even further that he was unable to even defend himself. Having sex with each other didn't make him and Kaiba gay, even if it was mind-blowing and satisfying. Regardless of their gender, the other boy was simply different. Kaiba was just special!
Upon fully processing what he had just thought, a pang of anguish pierced Jounouchi's heart while a wave of grief washed over him with the realization that someone who wasn't Kaiba was about to take him. Jounouchi didn't care anymore about the blackmail, condescending attitude, inability to process his own emotions, or even the rape.
Right now, Jounouchi just wished he was in Kaiba's arms.
Swallowing hard despite his dry throat, Jounouchi lifted his blurry, wet eyes to the rough gangster opening the weakened young man's legs further. The way Kamui leered at him with an eager, sinister smile made Jounouchi grow even more distressed with foreboding fear. He quickly dropped his eyes, unable to look at that menacing expression anymore, and they landed on Kamui's groin, where a large bulge was protruding in his pants.
Jounouchi watched, stunned, as the older man unfastened his pants and released his large, erect manhood. It was long, thick, and twitching excitedly. An icy spike of dread plunged down Jounouchi's spine and his whole body felt cold as it began to shiver and tremble. Jounouchi shut his eyes tightly and whipped his head to the side, refusing to watch the piece of shit violate him. However, Kamui's hand shot out and grabbed Jounouchi's jaw, forcefully turning his head back to face him.
"Don't look away, brat," he ordered with an amorous growl. "That's a nice face you're making, too sexy not to share..."
Still gripping Jounouchi's face, Kamui glanced over to the area with all the video equipment. "Right, guys?"
Slowly cracking his eyelids open partway, they then snapped open wide and focused on the sight of a large screen on the table filled with the image of his naked, bound body on the bed before it zoomed in on his face, pale and twisted in horror. Jounouchi could see himself as he was being filmed, and Kamui's firm grip on his face prevented him from looking away.
"Kid's got a face that makes you wanna shoot all over it," Sano spoke up with a wide grin. "Might as well not even censor him, since this isn't a legal vid anyway..."
Kamui let out a wicked laugh and looked back to Jounouchi with a wild, excited expression. "I'll leave that shot to you when it's your turn, Sano," he said while taking on a darker look. "Because right now, I'm going fuck him into a moaning, crying little cum dump and fill his ass up till it can't take anymore..."
Jounouchi's heart was sent racing in panicked terror and he couldn't stop a whimper from rising to his throat.
Seeming to take delight in Jounouchi's reactions, Kamui's dick throbbed and twitched excitedly as he positioned himself to rub his dripping head on Jounouchi's puckered hole.
"Don't worry, I'll make you melt in pleasure," he promised while pushing the head into the entrance. "You'll forget all about being scared..."
The cameraman moved to get a good view of the shot as the depraved gangster readied himself to enter Jounouchi.
Pushing his hips forward, Kamui started to enter Jounouchi slowly, dragging it out as though savoring the entry and sighing with a low moan. Jounouchi clenched his jaw while groaning as his insides were invaded by the hot, solid erection sliding into his deepest part. Once Kamui had nearly entered Jounouchi all the way, the older man buried himself with a quick, rough thrust, sheathing his entire length within the shuddering young man's insides. Jounouchi couldn't hold back a moan as Kamui's dick seemed to send shock waves throbbing in his groin.
It was thicker than Kaiba's and made Jounouchi's insides stretch more than he was normally used to. It wasn't painful, though, and felt good.
But Jounouchi didn't want to feel good; he hated that he was feeling good. The drug they had injected him with was stronger than he'd thought, and once again the more pleasure his system experienced, the more difficult it became to think clearly. Despite wanting to resist, Jounouchi was slipping into a state of disoriented lust once more, leaving him defenseless to the forced pleasure assaulting his senses and leaving his mind a muddled mess.
"Mm... Your ass is amazing," Kamui moaned as he slowly moved his hips, pulling back almost all the way then thrusting all the way in hard. "Not too loose or too tight, and it's sucking me like it's starving for a dick."
The gangster lifted himself into a crouch while gripping Jounouchi behind the thighs and curled the young man's lower body so his knees were above his face, then began plunging deeper and harder than before, pumping his hips like a piston with great force and speed. Jounouchi was unable to suppress the uncontrollable moans that were drawn from his depths by the aggressive motions repeatedly stroking his throbbing, sensitive insides and hitting his sweet spot relentlessly.
"Feeling good, brat?" Kamui asked with a breathy chuckle. "Told ya you wouldn't be scared long."
Each time Kamui's large dick reached deep inside Jounouchi the head hit his prostate, sending powerful waves of pleasure through him that made his own erection pulse and drip with sexual excitement. Jounouchi continued to sink until he was drowning in lust and could no longer control his desire. The mind-numbing sensations were simply too much, and he found himself desperately wanting to reach his own orgasm.
"That's right, you little slut," a voice said from beyond Jounouchi's head. "Just enjoy yourself like the bitch in heat that you are..."
Opening one eye halfway, Jounouchi saw the camera guy was crouched behind him on the other side of the bars, filming the entirety of Kamui violating his hole while his own face, looking erotic and shamefully flushed with arousal, was in full view as well.
Jounouchi's vision blurred with the hot tears welling up and spilling forth from his eyes before he squeezed them shut tightly, only causing more to spill out. The awkward position he was in made breathing somewhat difficult, and he continued to gasp heavily through his nose while his moans increased in intensity behind the gag. The pressure swelling in his groin had his erection leaking heavily to drip on his throat and collar bone area while it throbbed wildly on the verge of release.
"Come, bitch." Kamui laughed breathlessly while grunting. "Come while a stranger is raping your ass on camera!"
No longer able to hold back in the face of the immense pleasure and drug-induced high overwhelming his brain, Jounouchi jerked his head back moaning loudly behind the gag then let out a long, muffled cry of pleasured ecstasy as he came hard, his thick load squirting from his dangling erection to land on his neck and face. The whimpering, moaning youth's body shuddered and quivered uncontrollably from the intensity of his climax. Even after his ejaculation was nothing more than a few drips coming out, the sensation of his climax continued to grip Jounouchi's body tightly for several more seconds.
Grunting and panting heavily, Kamui began undulating his hips more roughly while his moans increased in volume.
"Shit, you're ass is sucking on me so hard, I can't hold back!" he groaned while panting heavily. "It's like it's thirsty for my cum!"
Alarm pierced the euphoric haze clouding Jounouchi's brain and sent his blank mind racing toward sobriety again as Kamui's words sank in. The thought of this filthy gangster's jizz inside of him disgusted Jounouchi more than the guy's dick being inside him.
At the panicking young man's squirms and grunts of protest, Kamui chuckled in sick amusement, obviously having no intention of pulling out.
"Now... Drink it...all...up!"
SLAM!
The door to the room abruptly smashed open and nearly broke off its hinges while crashing into the concrete wall, creating a wave of shocked reactions from all the occupants.
Startled by the distraction, Kamui nearly fell off-balance and collapsed to one knee to catch himself, releasing his hold on Jounouchi and dropping the young man's body before he could cum inside him. Instead, it landed on Jounouchi's stomach while his body hit the mattress with a slight bounce.

{*}NON-CON SEX END{*}

{*}
Turning his head to the right and slowly opening his heavy eyelids, Jounouchi's bleary eyes focused on the side of the room across from the bed, where the door had slammed open.
Standing in the doorway and obscured by the light coming from behind them was the shadowy silhouette of a person with a long coat and their hands in their pockets. Beyond them on the ground lay the bodies of a few unconscious Yakuza guards.
A cool, calm voice floated into the room and reverberated in the air. "Gentlemen, you've just made the worst mistake of your lives."
The figure then slowly took a few steps forward and into the studio room's lights, revealing their identity.
Jounouchi's eyes opened as wide as they could. He had to blink a couple of times to make sure he wasn't hallucinating from the drug.
"Nu...hway..." he mumbled around the gag.
A stern-faced Kaiba glared at each man in the room as his eyes smoothly panned from one to the next. They finally landed on Jounouchi, and the irises shrank while the lids widened a fraction at the sight of the bound young man's condition.
Though his face was relaxed, there was a dangerous rage burning fiercely in those normally cold, blue eyes, while an invisible yet almost palpable aura of white-blue flames seemed to surround and emanate from the infuriated young man's being like an inferno.
Recovering from the initial shock and regaining his rough character, Kamui tucked his manhood away and closed his pants up again.
"Tch, who the hell are you?" he demanded with a sneer of contempt while stepping off the bed. "Can't you see this is a closed set?"
Sharp, piercing eyes flicked from Jounouchi to Kamui and, upon assessing the gangster's proximity to Jounouchi plus his 'wardrobe', narrowed into a heated glare that caused even the Yakuza to flinch. Shifting expressions suddenly, Kaiba gave Kamui his signature smirk, but it was more malicious than usual.
"Me? I'm the knight in shining armor, come to rescue the princess." the cheeky younger man answered.
Still gagged and unable to speak up, Jounouchi's face turned into an irritable scowl while thinking to himself: "Who the hell is he calling 'princess'?!"
Eyeing the newcomer with a discerning gaze, Kamui's sneer then turned into a taunting smirk.
"Ah, so you're the boyfriend, huh?" he concluded with a cocky grin. "Looks like you're the one who made a mistake, you little shit. Now that you've witnessed our little movie-making operation, we can't exactly let you go..."
"Maybe we should include him," Sano suggested, stroking his chin with a perverted look as he appraised Kaiba. "If we make movies with both of them, I bet we could sell twice as many copies."
The self-assured expression never wavering, Kaiba remained undaunted by the men's threatening demeanor. "I'm afraid that won't be happening," he stated with bold confidence.
Cool and collected as ever, the youth took a few more casual steps into the room as he spoke, "What will be happening, however, is I'm going to take my friend, destroy your shameful little smut film, and walk out of here. If you have a problem with that, you can take it up with my...associates."
Removing his right hand from his coat pocket and holding it level with his face, Kaiba snapped his fingers loudly.
Four large, solid-looking men from Kaiba's security team filed into the room and stood behind Kaiba in a row, looking just as intimidating and threatening as Yakuza themselves. Even the four gangsters suddenly looked nervous and exchanged uneasy glances.
Kaiba's lips parted in a menacing grin. "Take out the trash, gentlemen."
One of the hulking guards cracked his knuckles with a tight, stoic expression on his face.
"With pleasure, Sir."
The Yakuza broke out into a panic and attempted to scramble, but Kaiba's team moved quickly and were upon the gangsters before the other men could escape. The room erupted with the sounds of shouting, crashing, and loud smacking blows as chaos ensued. Kaiba, however, moved as though nothing was going on and swiftly made his way to Jounouchi's side.
The still bound and gagged young man gazed up at Kaiba in a dreamy daze, and the sudden wave of overwhelming relief at seeing the other boy made Jounouchi feel drained and exhausted. Kaiba hurriedly and clumsily untied Jounouchi's wrists, his hands shaking despite how flippant and composed he'd been behaving only a few moments ago. Sitting on the side of the bed and carefully lifting Jounouchi into a sitting position, he pulled the other boy firmly against his chest in a tight embrace.
"Jounouchi, are you alright?" he asked with a note of urgency in his voice, tugging the gag from the other boy's face.
Though he'd been his normal, confident self in the face of a gang of Yakuza, there was now a look of anxiety on his face.
Jounouchi could only stare wearily at Kaiba before he finally asked, "H-how did you know...?"
Shifting uncomfortably and avoiding meeting Jounouchi's eyes, Kaiba took a handkerchief from his coat and began cleaning the mess on Jounouchi's face.
"I felt...concerned when I couldn't get in touch with you," he mumbled stiffly. "You sent that message about feeling unwell but didn't respond when I messaged you back. Then when I tried to call, your phone was off."
Kaiba's touch as he cleaned off the other boy's face was gentle and caring, like he was handling something fragile and precious and it would break if he wasn't careful enough.
"I had a feeling I was the cause of your...poor condition," Kaiba continued, eyes flitting to Jounouchi's before averting again. "So I decided to leave school early to go see you and bring some supplies to help you recover."
Jounouchi looked at Kaiba startled. He had skipped school to come check on him? He was worried about him?
Kaiba's face hardened as he moved the cloth to wipe Jounouchi's neck. "When I arrived at your apartment the door was broken in, your place looked as though it had been ransacked, and you were missing..."
The arm holding Jounouchi seemed to tighten, and Jounouchi thought he could feel trembling in the other boy as he continued.
"I knew something was wrong, that something terrible had happened," he said in a strained voice, struggling to keep it from shaking. "So I used our company's satellite tracking system to locate you. As soon as I saw that you were outside city limits, I knew you had to be in danger..."
"But...how did you track me down?" Jounouchi questioned, his voice barely a mumble in his fatigued state.
Kaiba finally met Jounouchi's gaze with slightly wide eyes, then the look of surprise turned to discomfort, then embarrassed guilt, and he looked away again.
"I...added a tracking device to your wrist band," he admitted bashfully, turning red up to his ears. "In case you tried to hide or run from me, and I needed to find you..."
And just like that, the moment of feeling touched by Kaiba's consideration for his well-being was gone, and Jounouchi resorted to staring blankly at the other young man, not even sure what to feel or think.
Actually, he was having difficulty thinking in general. The drug still had his mind and senses dulled, and he felt weak and drained from his exhausting, unpleasant experience. Jounouchi let his head rest against Kaiba's chest while his eyelids fluttered shut.
"I'm just glad...you're here..."
While slipping away into slumber, something warm and soft gently touched Jounouchi's forehead, and he was somehow reminded of their first night together, just before he passed out after sex. However, the thought was brief and faded along with Jounouchi's consciousness as he lost to exhaustion while safe in Kaiba's embrace.
Even after the other boy had fallen asleep, Kaiba left his lips lingering on Jounouchi's forehead in a tender kiss for a moment longer. His arms then encircled Jounouchi's body more tightly and he closed his eyes.
"I'm so sorry," Kaiba murmured quietly, his voice barely a whisper. "I won't let anything happen to you again."
While holding the sleeping boy against him with one arm, Kaiba pulled the sheet off the bed and wrapped Jounouchi's naked body in it. Scooping the other young man up in his arms, Kaiba lifted him off the bed and started carrying him to the door, not even glancing at the brutal beating going on.
"Don't forget to destroy all the equipment and footage in here," he ordered as he passed by. "Shut this filthy operation down."
One of his men was holding Sano's limp body up by the front of his shirt while pulling his fist back.
"Sir." he answered in affirmation before landing another blow to the beaten senseless man's already battered face.
Leaving the noisy room behind as the brawl continued, Kaiba passed through the broken doorway and stepped over the unconscious guards lying on the floor. After exiting the lower level, he strolled out of a seemingly abandoned warehouse in a rundown area at the edge of the city. A few cars were waiting outside, and the head of his security team stood by the rear door of Kaiba's car, opening it when his employer approached.
"Law enforcement is on their way, Kaiba-Sama," he reported with a bow.
"Well done," Kaiba responded, about to load Jounouchi into the vehicle.
As his employee began to reach for Jounouchi to take over the task himself, an alarmed Kaiba suddenly twisted his torso in the opposite direction, pulling the unconscious young man out of reach. When he glowered at his subordinate while hugging Jounouchi protectively, the older man gave a start and jerked back quickly, his face turning pale.
"A-apologies, Sir." he stammered nervously.
Watching the man with sharp eyes and a frown, Kaiba resumed climbing into the vehicle with Jounouchi by himself and the door was closed behind him. As the car sped away to Kaiba's mansion, Kaiba nestled Jounouchi's head beneath his cheek while resting his own head against the other boy's. Taking comfort in the warm, breathing young man finally back in the safety of his arms, Kaiba practically melted in the relief he felt and cradled Jounouchi all the way home.
The brass handle of the mansion's heavy oaken front door had just finished turning, and the door itself cracked a fraction before suddenly bursting open with a loud bang. Kaiba stormed in carrying Jounouchi after kicking the door open, leaving the stunned, blinking driver, who had been trying to open the door, frozen in handle-turning position.
A few startled members of Kaiba's house staff who were in the middle of doing their daily duties were shocked to see Kaiba returning home during school hours until they noticed Jounouchi in his arms. One look at the haggard, feverish-looking, unconscious young man wrapped up in a sheet, and it was obvious something was very wrong.
"Kaiba-Sama, should I call for the physician?" one anxious maid asked hurriedly.
"Do it," Kaiba responded while passing by, not even glancing in her direction.
While his employees scrambled to perform different tasks, Kaiba brought Jounouchi straight to his bedroom and laid him gently on the bed. One attendant who had followed was ordered to bring a bowl of warm water, a towel, and an ice pack for fevers. When she returned, Kaiba dipped the plush towel in the water and cleaned Jounouchi's face and neck before placing the ice pack on his forehead. After removing the tattered remains of the other boy's shirt, Kaiba then cleaned the front of Jounouchi's torso before covering his body up once more.
Other than Mokuba, Kaiba had never taken care of anyone before, and even then it was usually minor wounds, like skinned knees or small cuts. He had no idea what to do other than clean the other boy up a bit, and felt hopelessly helpless as he awaited the physician's arrival.
As soon as Kaiba's personal doctor arrived, he immediately began examining and treating Jounouchi. Kaiba waited in a chair nearby, slowly sipping on the tea one of the maids had brought in an attempt to calm his nerves. Each time he lifted the cup to his lips, he had to struggle to keep his hand from trembling. Kaiba tried to look casual and not overly concerned with what the doctor was doing while checking out Jounouchi, but there was no doubt of what the older man would probably find and figure out. Even if he had cleaned up some of the mess on Jounouchi's body, Kaiba could not erase all of the signs of something very wrong happening to him.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the doctor approached Kaiba to deliver his assessment.
"He has a high fever, and first-degree burn spots on his neck from what looks like something electrical being used on him - a taser, would be my guess. The marks around his wrists aren't overly severe, and should heal without issue in a week or so." he reported calmly, easing Kaiba's worries just a bit.
"I've administered something for his fever and treated the burns on his neck. There don't seem to be any other problems upon initial inspection that I can see, but I recommend letting him rest for tonight then taking him to the hospital for further analysis in the morning."
Feeling more relieved, Kaiba nodded understandingly. "I see. Thank you."
Hesitating for a moment, the doctor looked a little puzzled, then spoke up cautiously, "Kaiba-Sama, this is...an unusual condition for an adolescent boy to be in. It seems like more than a simple accident, or maybe a fight with someone. What exactly happened to him, if I may ask?"
"You may not." Kaiba responded firmly, having expected the question all along.
The doctor look startled for a moment, then frowned slightly with a look of deep concern. "Forgive me, Kaiba-Sama, I don't mean to pry." he apologized, looking uncomfortable. "I only ask because I noticed... There are signs that the young man has been rap-"
Kaiba delivered a sharp warning glare, and the doctor quickly stopped mid-sentence.
"The matter has already been...dealt with." he explained with a note of finality.
Having received the silent message that he was not to ask any further questions, the doctor gave the younger man a bow.
"I see. Very well, I shall take my leave, then." he announced before gathering his things and leaving.
Finally alone with Jounouchi, Kaiba walked over to the bed and looked down on the still sleeping boy, lightly brushing his bangs aside. Jounouchi's eyelids twitched slightly but didn't open. There was an adhesive patch on his neck for the taser wound, and a fresh ice pack on his forehead for the fever. The filthy sheet he'd been wrapped in had been removed, and Jounouchi now slept soundly beneath the covers of Kaiba's bed, looking a little better than he had earlier.
Sighing wearily, Kaiba concluded that for now, all he could do was wait for Jounouchi to wake up.
{*}
Sitting at the desk in his room, Kaiba took the spare time he had at the moment to get some work done. He was looking through the reports on the production of the new Duel Disk, pleased to find that things were beginning to go more smoothly now. The young businessman was so immersed in his work that he nearly jumped when the door to his room suddenly swung open and someone rushed in.
"Nii-Sama!" Mokuba's eyes were wide with worry. "I heard what happened! Is Jounouchi alright?"
Kaiba turned his office chair around to face his little brother as he approached. Mokuba was home from school, had it gotten so late already? Kaiba hadn't even noticed how much time had passed. Not wanting to alarm the younger boy, he kept his usual calm expression as he glanced over at the still sleeping Jounouchi.
Just how long was that guy going to stay asleep anyway?
"Jounouchi will be alright," he answered reassuringly. "The idiot just had a little run in with the wrong kind of people. The doctor says he needs some rest and a check-up in the morning."
Mokuba looked over at the bed where Jounouchi was lying, a puzzled expression on his face. "Wrong kind of people? You mean like...street gang stuff?"
Returning his attention to his brother, Kaiba sat for a moment of silence while staring unblinkingly at Mokuba.
"Yeah. Something like that." he responded flatly.
There was no way he would tell Mokuba about the Yakuza's involvement in the matter.
Mokuba frowned, looking uneasy. "But the doctor mentioned there were signs of...um, assault..." he mumbled while fidgeting. "W-was it a gang of girls or something?"
At the young boy's question, Kaiba suddenly began coughing fitfully and quickly put his hand to his mouth while turning his head away.
It was actually his best attempt to cover up an outburst of laughter. Mokuba was far too innocent to know about same-gender sex, and he couldn't bring himself to correct the boy. Especially if his little brother inquired as to how or why Kaiba knew about such matters.
"N-Nii-Sama, are you alright?!" Mokuba asked with a look of surprised concern.
Kaiba cleared his throat and looked to his brother again after regaining his composure. "I'm fine, just a tickle in my throat," he answered plainly. "Anyway, don't concern yourself over Jounouchi's situation. Things are under control now and the other party has been dealt with, there's nothing to worry about."
Not seeming entirely satisfied with the explanation, Mokuba cocked his head slightly with a small frown, then simply nodded in understanding.
"Alright, if you say so, Nii-Sama," he responded in resignation.
Able to sense the discussion was over, Mokuba turned and headed for the door while Kaiba returned to the paperwork on his desk. Just as Mokuba was opening the door to leave, Kaiba spoke up without turning back around.
"Mokuba, inform the staff that no one is to come in here until Jounouchi awakens." he announced, emphasizing 'no one'.
Mokuba looked back at Kaiba, his hand tensing on the doorknob as he registered that the order applied to him as well.
"Yes, Nii-Sama," he replied quietly, then left.
In the deafening silence of his bedroom, Kaiba tried to concentrate on his work, but his mind was now too preoccupied with other matters to focus on the papers right in front of him. After some time, Kaiba began growing weary and gave up on his task, opting to get some rest instead. It was only early evening now, but today had been exhausting.
Setting the reports aside and removing his coat, Kaiba climbed into bed with Jounouchi and laid beside him. Though he slept alone, Kaiba owned a king-sized bed that fit the both of them comfortably, and laid on his side leaning against Jounouchi with his arm across the other boy's chest, holding him close.
After a moment of watching the other young man, Kaiba closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Awareness began to rise as consciousness gradually returned after what felt like a very long slumber.
Jounouchi opened his eyes and blinked slowly, his mind feeling foggy and heavy. There was a dull throb in his head, his forehead felt cold and damp, and there was a stinging pain on one side of his neck. Staring up at the ceiling blankly, he tried to recall all that happened previously but didn't know where he was or how he got there, only that he wasn't in his own room.
Reaching up with his left arm, the sluggish young man touched his forehead to find something wet laying beneath his bangs. He removed the drooping pack of now melted ice from his head and stared at it in confusion for a second. How did it even get there? Did someone put it on him? Jounouchi was having difficulty piecing things together with his muddled thoughts. Losing strength in his raised arm, Jounouchi dropped it to his side again and released the ice pack. He then looked to his left and saw a bedside table with some medical supplies, a bowl of water, and a towel hanging over the edge of the bowl.
When Jounouchi turned his head to the right, a jolt of surprise began to rouse his drowsy mind upon coming face-to-face with a sleeping Kaiba lying beside him. The other young man was pressed against his side and had his arm across Jounouchi's chest to hold him close, a peaceful, relaxed expression on his face as he dozed beside him.
While staring at Kaiba's face, a sudden rush of memories came flooding in like a tsunami and pelted Jounouchi's mind with the events leading up to the moment.
First, he was kidnapped by the Yakuza.
Next, he was drugged and forced to have sex on camera in order to sell the DVDs and repay his father's debt.
Then...
Jounouchi's face began to burn up as a fuzzy memory witnessed during his drugged state floated to the surface of his mind: Kaiba bursting through the door of the underground studio and coming to his rescue, like some kind of comic book hero or something. The dream-like memory of Kaiba's strong arms embracing him while trembling lightly, and his anxious expression full of worry, felt so unreal because Jounouchi couldn't imagine them happening in reality.
But it wasn't a dream that Kaiba had saved him. Now Jounouchi was at the other boy's mansion, warm and safe in his arms while lying in Kaiba's bed. This smug, asshole of a bastard was Jounouchi's hero.
Something felt very wrong about that thought.
Feeling awkward and uncertain of how to face the situation at that moment, Jounouchi stirred beneath the other boy's arm and tried to ease his way out of bed without disturbing the sleeping Kaiba.
Despite his careful efforts, however, Kaiba's eyelids fluttered then slowly opened and his eyes focused on Jounouchi. They were glazed and bleary from sleep, but the gaze felt gentle.
"I thought you'd never wake up," he murmured in a husky voice, seeming to be half asleep still.
One would have expected that statement to be made in Kaiba's usual snide tone, but instead of an irritated complaint, it sounded more like relief.
"I was so worried," he half-whispered sleepily, his eyes fluttering closed again. "If anything happened to you... I don't know what I'd do..."
Eyes widening slightly, Jounouchi's chest grew tight and warm, and a fluttering feeling reverberated in the hollow cavity of his rib cage. Kaiba was definitely still half asleep, otherwise, he would never admit such a thing.
But Jounouchi couldn't help feeling stupidly giddy at the admission.
As if realizing what he'd just said, Kaiba's eyes snapped open and he released the other young man, sitting up quickly while looking somewhat flustered yet indignant.
"I-I mean, if something were to happen to you, or if anything was wrong, it would be troublesome for me." he hurriedly explained, feigning displeasure. "It was already a pain coming to save you, after all, I didn't need any more headaches."
Eyes narrowing into slits, Jounouchi's mouth pulled into a crooked frown as he gave Kaiba an incredulous look of doubt. He wasn't exactly buying the other boy's words but knew Kaiba would simply deny that he meant anything else. However, for the first time, Jounouchi somehow found it kind of cute.
With sore, trembling arms, Jounouchi slowly pushed himself up into a sitting position, groaning with each move he made. While it could have been much worse, it felt like there wasn't a single spot on his body that wasn't aching again, and he desperately wished for a nice, hot shower. Pushing through the pain, Jounouchi tossed the covers aside and was about to get out of bed, when he looked down at himself and realized he was completely nude.
"What the-?! I-I'm naked!" he exclaimed and quickly covered up again out of reflex.
Moving over to the opposite side of the bed as Jounouchi's, Kaiba climbed out and began rounding the foot to approach the other boy's side.
"They removed your clothes to rape you, obviously." Kaiba pointed out while folding his arms and leaning his hip into the mattress, facing Jounouchi.
"I know that!" Jounouchi snapped, cheeks growing red. "You could have at least put something on me!"
Kaiba shrugged nonchalantly. "It's not like I haven't seen you naked before..."
"That's not the point!" Jounouchi retorted before the flush faded from his face and his eyes widened a fraction.
"Wait... The camera!" he blurted out in a panic as if just remembering. "The footage with that guy raping me! Where is it? That data has to be erased or-!"
"Relax," Kaiba spoke in a calm voice. "It's already been handled. My men destroyed the recording equipment and law enforcement were summoned to take those vermin in."
Unfolding his arms and stepping closer, Kaiba reached up to lightly caress Jounouchi's face pushing the long bangs aside some.
"Only I am allowed to see this face and body melting in the heat of pleasure and ecstasy that I deliver you..." he said smoothly in his deep, sexy voice before leaning closer and staring straight into the other boy's eyes. "Did you think I would allow such footage to be viewed by others?"
Gazing at Kaiba's intense, somber expression as he spoke, Jounouchi noticed his chest getting warm again, and also felt the strange flutter that greatly unnerved him each time he felt it. The vibes coming from Kaiba were different from normal, and somehow Jounouchi felt overwhelmed by the other boy's presence.
Finally unable to continue meeting Kaiba's eyes, Jounouchi averted his own while gulping discreetly.
"I guess you wouldn't..." he mumbled.
Deep down it actually brought Jounouchi a great deal of relief to know such a terrifying fate no longer awaited him. If anyone ever saw that video, stranger or otherwise, he didn't know what he would have done. He wasn't even sure he could live with the humiliation, and the thought made him shudder.
"Jounouchi," Kaiba spoke up, interrupting the distracted young man's thoughts.
Lifting his eyes again, Jounouchi realized Kaiba was still touching his face while leaning forward. They stared at each other in silence for a moment before Kaiba hesitantly began closing in. Jounouchi's heart leaped into his throat and his breathing hitched as multiple emotions began racing through his mind. Instead of feeling the usual reluctance or urge to resist, Jounouchi found himself closing his eyes while waiting to feel Kaiba's hot kiss on his lips.
Then he heard a couple of sniffs.
"You stink, go take a shower."
Jounouchi's eyes snapped open wide to see Kaiba pulling away while crinkling his nose, a displeased look on his face. Had he seriously gotten close just to smell him?! Anger and embarrassment burned on Jounouchi's face as he mentally berated himself for being so foolishly gullible as to think they were about to have a moment.
"You'd stink if you were covered in jizz and sweat too, asshole!" he shot back at the other boy.
Flinging the covers aside in a huff, Jounouchi made to get out of the bed, then realized that for someone who had been covered in cum, he felt considerably...not sticky. Discreetly glancing down at his torso, Jounouchi realized there was no trace of the mess that had been made on him earlier. When he snuck another glance to the bedside table, he spotted the bowl of water with the damp towel from before, and the pieces came together.
Had Kaiba actually taken the time to clean him up while he was unconscious?
Once again feeling a mixture of awkwardness and giddiness, Jounouchi finished climbing out of the bed, then found his legs still hadn't recovered yet as they wobbled beneath him. Just as Jounouchi began to stumble, he was tugged into a firm embrace against Kaiba's chest.
"Shall I carry you again, my 'princess'?" a deep voice asked teasingly while resonating in Jounouchi's ear.
The rush elicited by that damn sensual voice made Jounouchi's mind spin, and for a second he felt a bit dizzy, causing him to cling to Kaiba while keeping his crimson-tinted face down.
"O-of course not!" he insisted stubbornly. "I-I just lost my footing for a second, is all!"
Pulling free of Kaiba's arms, Jounouchi began storming toward Kaiba's bathroom but halted upon feeling a chill on his...everything.
"Oi," he addressed Kaiba while crossing his arms over his chest to rub them. "Get me some clothes, would ya? I can't walk around naked."
Without argument, Kaiba approached his wardrobe and opened it, scanning the articles of clothing inside. Jounouchi looked about his size, so he would probably fit anything of his.
After some brief consideration, Kaiba selected a fine, white, button-up dress shirt with dark blue slacks similar to their school uniform. For a fleeting second, he couldn't help wondering about what Jounouchi would look like in full formal attire with a more clean style to his hair. Even if he had a slovenly way of presenting himself, Jounouchi wasn't bad looking, so he'd probably clean up nicely...
Realizing his imagination was coming up with some ridiculous ideas more suited to a giddy, love-struck schoolgirl, Kaiba quickly swept the thought aside. He then retrieved a pair of boxers for Jounouchi from the stash kept on hand for...replacement purposes.
When Kaiba offered him the clothes, Jounouchi accepted them, though he was slightly reluctant because they were too close to Kaiba's style. The thought of them dressing alike and matching felt kind of weird, but it was better than the alternative.
After Jounouchi took the clothes and went into the bathroom, Kaiba finally heaved the sigh of relief he'd been holding in since Jounouchi woke up. The other young man was being his usual brash, stubborn self and behaving normally. While Jounouchi's physical condition had been his greatest concern, Kaiba had also felt some worry over how the other boy would be faring mentally upon regaining consciousness. However, it appeared he wasn't any different from before. Though relieved by that fact, it also brought Kaiba a small amount of trepidation.
He hoped Jounouchi really was alright.
{*}
Jounouchi made his way into the large, fancy bathroom that seemed to be modeled after Western-style instead of typical Japanese, but he wasn't much in the mood for admiring the display of wealth. After setting his change of clothes aside, he made his way to the shower with the sliding glass door and stepped inside. Jounouchi immediately turned on the water at a high setting and stood beneath the stream.
Safe from Kaiba's view, the young man sagged wearily and his shoulders slumped as he let out a long, quiet exhale that quivered lightly at the end. Closing his eyes, he lowered his head while the water cascaded down his body like a waterfall, drenching his thick hair and causing it to cling to his face and neck. After a couple of moments, Jounouchi's body started to tremble, and he put his right hand over his face, trying to fight back the coming tears.
There was no way he could have shown it in front of Kaiba, but what had happened to him had affected Jounouchi more than he let on.
Another man - a gangster - had sex with him while he was under the influence of some kind of aphrodisiacal drug. The bastard had his way with his body and made him come while other people watched, one filming it to make DVDs that could have ruined Jounouchi's life had they gotten out. Though muddled and hazy because of the drug he'd been given, the memories kept taunting him while reminding him how good he felt. Jounouchi's left hand at his side curled into a fist until his knuckles turned white, and his jaw clenched until it ached.
Suddenly, Jounouchi swung his left arm and slammed the side of his fist against the wall, gritting his teeth.
"Enough..." he growled in a low voice.
Tossing his head all the way back, Jounouchi's sopping wet hair was flung over the top of his head and he pushed his fingers through the thick mane of gold, slicking it back out of his face. When he slowly opened his eyes again, he wore a stern look of determination.
He was stronger than this. He was made of tougher stuff. It was like getting into a scrap or losing a duel. All he had to do was get up, dust himself off, and move on. Shizuka was counting on him, and he wasn't about to fall apart now. Not when his sister needed him most. Not when there were people precious to him there to give him the strength to carry on.
Taking a slow, deep breath, Jounouchi exhaled once again, but this time he felt more invigorated at the end. He was going to be alright.
However, despite his fighting spirit, Jounouchi still felt filthy. So filthy.
Wanting to wash the whole day away, Jounouchi grabbed the bottle of body wash from the shower caddy and removed himself from the running water. He squeezed a generous amount of the silky gel directly onto his body in large globs, then returned the bottle to its shelf half empty and began lathering himself up. With the bubbly suds dripping and sliding down his entire body, Jounouchi rubbed up and down the sides of his neck, then down to his shoulders, then rubbed his hands around on his chest, stomach, and lower abdomen.
As Jounouchi slid his hands around on his torso, he closed his eyes again with a soft, content groan. It felt so good to clean himself after such a vile experience.
"Mm..."
Moving further down to his groin, he made sure to thoroughly clean the area, soaping up his member and testicles all the way to his anus. He used both hands to rub his nether region with soap, not realizing at first the light, tingling sensations touching himself was bringing. However, he did notice his legs beginning to quiver some, and his head began to feel light as if his mind was floating.
"Maybe I'm more drained than I thought..." he mumbled to himself, bringing one hand to his head.
Starting to feel slightly tipsy for some reason, Jounouchi put his back against the wall opposite the shower head and slowly slid down to a sitting position. Opening his legs with his knees bent, he continued to clean himself and reached down to rub his slippery, soapy hand along his perineum then down to his asshole.
When his middle finger touched his anus, Jounouchi found himself tensing up as the pad pressed against the opening. Tremors were causing the muscles to tingle and quiver in response to the contact, startling him with the unexpected feeling coming from the simple act of washing himself. Even if he had just had sex, it was unusual for him to be this easily stimulated.
As he continued to handle his nether regions, getting the feeling that something was off, Jounouchi began to notice more and more the sensations stirred up by the motion of his hand as he cleaned the area. For some reason, touching himself felt unusually good, and the urge to do more began to rise like the heat in his belly. He knew something wasn't right, but the pleasurable reactions he received from groping and rubbing himself down there were strongly tempting him to continue.
While his right hand continued to fondle his soft penis, Jounouchi's other hand seemed to move on its own and made its way to his wet, slippery chest. Brushing his fingers along his pec and over an erect nipple created ripples of tingling in the little nub, causing him to shudder.
"Ah..."
Warmth crept to his cheeks that had nothing to do with the water's temperature as Jounouchi began to feel more and more light-headed, closing his eyes and submitting to desire. Excitement started to thrum in his groin and Jounouchi's lips parted to let out quick, quiet breaths, feeling as though he was swaying despite being in a sitting position.
What was happening? It never felt this good to simply touch his own body in a normal way. But he felt so sensitive for some reason...
Then Jounouchi's eyes opened again with a soft gasp of realization.
"The drug...?" he questioned out loud in disbelief. "But it's been a while already..."
However, Jounouchi didn't even know what they had used on him, or how long it was supposed to last. It didn't feel as intense as when he was first drugged, but his body was beginning to grow anxious and horny again.
Back then, despite being an unwilling participant, Jounouchi had craved relief, but hadn't received enough satisfaction while the drug was still fresh in his system. Kaiba showed up to rescue him not long after the assault began, and Jounouchi had thankfully passed out once safely in the other boy's arms again, managing to sleep through the worst of it.
However, it appeared the effects weren't fully dissolved yet, and his body hadn't had enough after all. Now that it had started, the feelings of need and arousal were growing steadily. His limp manhood had already begun to swell, and his nipples were fully erect and aching to be touched.
"M-maybe it'll calm down if I get off once or twice..." he murmured to himself, feeling restless.
Sitting on the floor of the shower while leaning against the wall for support, Jounouchi's hand fondled and groped the still partially soft manhood while teasing his stiff nipple. As he squeezed and stroked his dick with a soapy hand, the lewd squishing noises it made sounded amplified in the small, enclosed space, making Jounouchi blush more deeply. He gave his nipple a pinch and the tingling sensation increased sharply, drawing a gasp from Jounouchi's lips and causing his erection to throb in his hand.
"Ahn!"
It felt indecent and perverted to be jerking himself off in Kaiba's bathroom when the other boy himself was right in the other room, but the shameful, luridness of it only made Jounouchi's body feel more excited, while the need to climax began to overpower his ability to think clearly. His hand rubbed up and down the length of his fully erect shaft, which now dripped with soap and leaked precum from the head. Jounouchi rolled the tender bud on his chest between his fingers and the tingling ripples turned into resonating waves spreading in his pec. The more he teased and stroked himself, the more intense his pleasure became. Even his insides were getting hot and starting to throb with the demand for stimulation.
Continuing to pump his swollen, throbbing dick with his right hand, Jounouchi's left hand moved from his chest and slid down his firm stomach and abdomen to reach beneath his balls. His twitching asshole was already dribbling some from his excitement and it puckered when his middle finger teased the entrance. Even the nerves on the outside felt more sensitive than usual and made Jounouchi shudder with a light moan as he pressed and rubbed the tender, fleshy hole.
Spreading his legs wider, Jounouchi pushed his finger slowly into his hot hole and reached as deeply as he could inside of the tight, twitching cavity. He let out a shuddering sigh as suction pulled on his digit until he couldn't reach any further. The muscles contracted excitedly, and Jounouchi began rubbing his insides in response to their eager demands. He'd never actually masturbated with his own ass before, usually leaving that area strictly to anal sex, but as he touched and explored himself from the inside, he became engrossed with the sensations he felt in the muscles and on his finger.
Jounouchi hung his head and became immersed in the steady rhythm of jerking off his soapy dick while working his finger inside his asshole, quickly finding the swollen gland that created jolts of pleasure through his groin and drew a gasping moan from the young man's lips. Abandoning himself to lust, Jounouchi's hand picked up speed while his finger pressed and prodded the tender prostate. His legs began to tremble as the heat coursing through his being seemed to gather in his crotch and throb wildly with building pressure.
"Mmf... Mnn..."
The muscles in his stomach grew tighter with the mounting tension while his toes curled and his dick swelled. Jounouchi hunched forward while gasping breathlessly, trying to suppress his moans the closer he got to his climax.
The distracted youth was so absorbed in his task, he didn't even see the figure appearing on the other side of the steamed up, glass door. As he reached the peak of pleasure, Jounouchi's back arched sharply while his head flung back with a cry.
Then the glass door opened at that exact moment.
"Oi, Jounou-"
"Ahhn!"
Thick, white cum spurt into the air in an arc from Jounouchi's wildly throbbing dick to splatter on the ceramic tile of the shower and get whisked away down the drain by the running water.
Kaiba stood wide-eyed beyond the open door of the shower to Jounouchi's right, a look of stunned disbelief on his face.
Jounouchi sat frozen in place with his dick in one hand, and the other hand between his legs with a finger shoved up his ass, staring back at Kaiba with wide eyes of his own.
The two young men were trapped in a cringe-inducing moment of awkward, uncomfortable silence, neither one able to speak or react as the running water from the shower provided the only sound in the room.
Finally, Jounouchi quickly leaped to his feet and backed against the wall opposite the door while covering his groin reflexively.
"This... I-it's not what it looks like! Uh, well, it is, b-but..."
The blood rushing to Jounouchi's face felt like it was boiling hot, making his head feel like it was overheating, and his eyes darted about as he found it difficult to look directly at Kaiba in his mortification.
Kaiba's raised eyebrows finally lowered, and his look of surprise turned into one of curious confusion. He then tilted his head some, eyeing Jounouchi expectantly as if waiting for an explanation.
Jounouchi hurriedly tried to clear up the matter. "I-it's just...! They drugged me, a-and it hasn't worn off! So I got horny and I thought maybe...you know, if I got off, it'd...go away... So I, um...jerked off..."
Jounouchi's panicked rambling slowly trailed off into timid mumbling, and he simply lowered his eyes to stare at the ground like a guilty child who'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Still holding his crotch - like it was even necessary - the young man appeared sullen and embarrassed.
And Kaiba found it irresistibly adorable.
As he continued to stare at Jounouchi, Kaiba's eyes drank in the firm, naked body dripping and glistening with slippery suds, trailing down every inch of the young man's creamy flesh. The pink buds on his broad chest were already stiff, peeking out teasingly from beneath the foamy bubbles. The thick, golden mane, which usually hung in his face like a disheveled mess, was now pushed back while parted in the middle, creating two fringes framing either side of his now fully exposed, shy, flushed face.

For several seconds, Kaiba simply continued to gaze at Jounouchi in silence, then he closed his eyes with a sigh of exasperation.
"Haah... Don't you know by now, Jounouchi?"
When he opened his eyes again, a sly, seductive smirk spread across his face, and he began slowly unbuttoning his shirt.
"I'm the only one who can truly satisfy you..."
Leaving his shirt open and baring a portion of his torso, Kaiba stepped into the shower and trapped Jounouchi up against the wall, ignoring the water and soap soaking into his clothes as he pressed his body into Jounouchi's.
Reacting out of habit, Jounouchi put both hands to Kaiba's chest and pushed against the other young man, keeping his face turned aside to conceal his embarrassed distress.
"Idiot! Dumbass!" Jounouchi snapped while squirming. "At least take off your clothes! No, wait - I-I mean, get out!"
Ignoring the stubborn young man's protests, as usual, Kaiba caressed Jounouchi's hips and pressed his lips to Jounouchi's neck, closing his eyes while inhaling the sweet, clean scent from the other boy. Releasing a shuddering sigh as arousal began to grow in his loins, Kaiba pushed his hips forward to rub his crotch against Jounouchi's sticky, wet manhood and gave an abrupt thrust.
Jounouchi gasped and uttered a cry of surprise mingled with pleasure in Kaiba's ear. He clutched the open ends of the other boy's shirt and tried to swallow any other noises rising in his throat as the friction rubbing against his bare manhood made him groan in pleasure. It was humiliating how amazing it felt to have fabric grinding against his hard dick. However, the longing for more of Kaiba's touch grew like rising flames of passion in Jounouchi's core, igniting his desire.
The familiar hands and body he felt now stirred the young man's feelings in a way they never did before. With his body growing desperate and anxious for pleasure, Jounouchi realized, much to his embarrassment, he wanted Kaiba to hold him. He wanted the other boy to take him right then and there and overwrite every second of that foul experience.
But the very idea of admitting that to Kaiba was practically mortifying, and so Jounouchi shut his eyes and turned his face so the other boy wouldn't see how badly he wanted him. If Kaiba figured out just how much Jounouchi wanted to have sex with him right now, the jackass would probably never let him hear the end of it, Like always, Jounouchi would simply give himself over to Kaiba and let the other young man ravish him until he was beyond satisfied.
As Kaiba's own member began to bulge in his pants, he pressed himself harder against Jounouchi's body eagerly and lifted his head to kiss the other boy, but halted upon seeing Jounouchi's expression.
With his head lowered and turned to the side, Jounouchi had his eyes squeezed shut so tightly that the lids trembled, and his face was slightly scrunched up with a furrowed brow. Even the young man's body seemed to be trembling as Kaiba kept it firmly pinned against the wall.
Was Jounouchi...scared?
Kaiba's blood suddenly ran cold in his veins and extinguished the flames of his lust. He was then overcome with shame and instinctively jerked away from the other young man while stepping back. Looking down at his own hands and the front of his body, wet and soapy from forcefully trapping Jounouchi against the wall, guilt welled up in Kaiba in place of his earlier desire.
What the hell was he doing? Only hours ago Jounouchi was being violated against his will, and now Kaiba was trying to make him meet his own selfish, sexual demands without consideration for the other boy's feelings. At this rate, Kaiba wouldn't be any different from those despicable Yakuza.
In the beginning, all he wanted was to toy with this little degenerate and break him like a master breaking in a wild animal. He enjoyed humiliating him for amusement and found exhilaration in dominating him sexually. But not anymore. It took nearly losing Jounouchi for him to realize things weren't the way they were before. There was a sharp, painful tension in Kaiba's chest when he realized he was no better than those mobsters taking advantage of the weak for their own gain. Nor was he any better than Kaiba Gozaburo when he tormented Kaiba as a child by forcefully trying to bend the boy to his sick, twisted will.
Feeling consumed with self-disgust and remorse, Kaiba hung his head in shame and turned away, stepping out of the shower and removing the soaked shirt.
When he felt Kaiba's presence disappear, Jounouchi opened his eyes with a quiet gasp of surprise and stared at the other young man's back outside the shower as he began removing his wet clothes, but didn't get the feeling he was preparing for sex. Confused at the sudden change in mood, but unable to bring himself to call Kaiba back for a continuation, Jounouchi gulped hard and spoke up while attempting to sound casual.
"W-what, uh, are you doing?" he questioned in a timid voice.
Undressing himself down to his underwear, Kaiba remained facing away from Jounouchi. "There's no point in satisfying you if it's not what you want," he answered straightforwardly. "I'll leave you to take care of yourself."
Remembering how he'd behaved when Kaiba first started touching him, Jounouchi realized the way he'd responded caused Kaiba to believe he was unwilling. And for what seemed like the first time, Kaiba was actually respecting his wishes.
At least, he thought it was Jounouchi's wish.
As Kaiba began to head for the door to give Jounouchi his space and change into a set of dry clothes, he was abruptly halted when a pair of arms encircled him from behind and pulled him back against a hot, wet body. The arms crossed his chest and held him tightly, while a forehead that felt like it was burning up with a fever rested against his back.
"Wait..." a resigned voice pleaded from behind.
It felt as though Kaiba were under a freeze spell, and he was unable to move a muscle while in Jounouchi's arms. Only his throat moved with a quiet gulp as he waited for the other boy to speak.
"I...don't know if I can satisfy myself like this..." the drenched blonde admitted shyly, his voice quivering from struggling against his own inhibitions. "I think I might need help..."
Jounouchi spoke quietly while hugging Kaiba more firmly, "I think I...need you."
Kaiba's eyes widened slowly and he stared at the ground in a dazed state, unsure he'd heard correctly.
"Is that...really what you want...?"
Jounouchi's face buried against Kaiba's back between the shoulder blades, and his breath hit Kaiba's flesh as he exhaled a frustrated sigh.
"I-I'm saying... I want you, damn it!"
That was all he needed to hear.
Kaiba spun around and grasped Jounouchi behind the head and at his lower back then pulled him into a deep, impassioned kiss. Jounouchi eagerly reciprocated without hesitation as their tongues met to caress and entangle, and the air was soon filled with the sound of breathless, wet kisses mixed with muffled groans.
Just as they were on the verge of suffocating from their fervent kissing session, they separated their lips with gasps for air, and Kaiba stared at the flushed, dreamy face of his partner who was clinging to him as though he would fall without Kaiba's support. The feverish, aroused look Jounouchi gave him stirred Kaiba's hormones up like a hornet's nest and a hot jolt shot down his spine and straight to his groin.
With his fingers buried in the wet mane at the back of Jounouchi's head, Kaiba pulled the other boy's face closer to press his lips to his partner's forehead.
"I'll spoil you until your body is fully sated..."
Feeling high on ecstasy after the intense, heated kiss, the sensation of Kaiba's bare body against his and the alluring promise made in a sensual voice made Jounouchi feel like he couldn't wait any longer. He began impatiently pulling at Kaiba's underwear to remove them, drawing a deep-voiced chuckle from the other young man who did the deed himself, then backed Jounouchi into the shower once more, sliding the door shut behind them.
Once enclosed in the small space that felt like their own little world, the two continued making out with Jounouchi up against the wall hooking one leg over Kaiba's hip. Both boys' erections were hard and throbbing, bumping and rubbing against each other as Jounouchi's leg seemed to squeeze Kaiba's lower body more tightly to his. The desperate need Jounouchi was displaying was infectious as Kaiba's hands slid down the other boy's sides and behind him to grasp his soapy, wet buttocks.
"Mmf!"
Jounouchi responded with a startled jerk of his hips, making his dripping, solid dick thrust harder against Kaiba's. Humming a low groan of pleasure, Kaiba pulled back from the kiss with a wet smack of their lips and grinned playfully at his partner.
"My cute little pet is so eager to play..." he remarked affectionately while groping Jounouchi's soft ass. "But we have to rinse you off first."
Kaiba guided Jounouchi beneath the water and stood with him as the stream rained down on them and washed the suds away. With his face tucked in the crook of Kaiba's neck and his lips caressing his wet flesh, Jounouchi continued clinging to the other boy while his swollen, hot erection pressed against Kaiba's thigh, sliding against it as Jounouchi's hips swayed slightly. Kaiba's tongue slid along his wet lips, feeling his mind race along with his heart as his lust filled to the brim and overflowed like a swelling river.
Kaiba moved his right thigh to position it directly between Jounouchi's legs and pushed forward with his hips to make Jounouchi's lower waist poke out. With the blonde boy's ass sticking out, Kaiba kept his hands rested on the soft buttocks while speaking directly into the other boy's ear with a lascivious voice.
"We have to make sure we clean every naughty place on this lewd body..." he murmured suggestively.
Without warning, Kaiba suddenly spread Jounouchi's ass cheeks apart and exposed the area in between to the running shower head. Jounouchi uttered a startled yelp as the tender area was exposed to the pelting water and his hips jerked in response, causing his erection to thrust against Kaiba's upper thigh harder. The bubbly suds coating his anus and perineum were rinsed away while Kaiba's fingers groped and massaged the soft muscles gripped in his hands.
"Mnn... I-idiot...!" Jounouchi grumbled irritably, though his body responded differently.
The hot hard-on pushing against Kaiba's thigh was throbbing, and as he moved his right hand in while keeping one cheek pulled aside with his left, the puckered anus twitched upon feeling his finger brush over it. It was somewhat puffy on the outer rim and tracing it with his middle finger drew a low groan from Jounouchi.
"Hm, it's already started to get soft down here," Kaiba murmured sensually. "Did it feel good, playing with yourself? Or were you lonely?"
Jounouchi grit his teeth and pressed his red hot face firmly against Kaiba's collar bone so the other boy couldn't see it.
"Sh-shut up, stupid!" he answered back in embarrassment. "I was just-ahn!"
A sharp, wet smacking sound accompanied by a stinging sensation on his ass cut Jounouchi's sentence short. He lifted his face to look at Kaiba with an angered, bewildered expression.
"W-what the hell?!"
Kaiba grinned down at Jounouchi while massaging the cheek he slapped. "You're being too cranky," he chastised. "If you behave nicely, I'll thoroughly satisfy all your cravings..."
Even though he always hated the condescending way Kaiba looked down on him and spoke to him like he was some kind of inferior pet, Jounouchi was feeling a rush of excitement now that made him even more turned on. Maybe it was just the drug, but he was so damn horny that even 'pet play' offered a thrill. Plus it seemed as though Kaiba was being less unpleasant than normal.
"F-fine..." Jounouchi relented in a meager voice, his cheeks taking on a more crimson hue. "P-play with me..."
The adorably helpless, lust-filled face and desirous gaze directed at him as Jounouchi pleaded had a greater impact on Kaiba than he was expecting, catching the young man off guard. A warmth spread through his chest and rose all the way to his face.
"You're...really cute, Jounouchi..." he murmured in an affectionate tone before covering Jounouchi's lips with his own.
While hungrily kissing and licking Jounouchi's lips and tongue, Kaiba's hand moved between the blonde youth's cheeks to rub his perineal area up to his anus, then down again. Jounouchi's throat and chest hummed with trapped moans, while his hips rocked to rub his dick on Kaiba.
Parting their lips to gasp for air while their tongues continued to entangle with each other, Kaiba's fingers pressed and massaged the mass of nerves between Jounouchi's asshole and sack, once again creating strange contracting tingles that made his insides and erection throb. Jounouchi swirled his tongue with Kaiba's between their open mouths and huffed for breath while immersed in his lust-drunk state. Then, a sudden jolt like electricity shooting straight up his spine to his brain caused the young man to gasp in surprise.
When Jounouchi's eyes opened wide from the shock, he met Kaiba's piercing gaze, a gleam of playful mischief glinting in them as he pressed through the wall of muscle and nerves again, rubbing Jounouchi's prostate on the other side.
"Ah! Ahhn!"
Moaning and gasping from the erotic massage he was receiving from his partner, Jounouchi leaned his head back while his hands clutched Kaiba's shoulders tightly. The weird sensations continued to throb in his entire groin area and made his legs tremble to the point they almost gave out, but Kaiba used his left arm to hold Jounouchi against him more firmly. His thigh came up higher between the moaning boy's legs to support him from beneath, and the feeling of it touching his aching, hot dick caused Jounouchi to start grinding against his partner while the other young man continued to pleasure him in the back.
Feeling Jounouchi eagerly rubbing and thrusting against him while he teased the other boy's backside made Kaiba's dick feel like it was going to blow. The dizzyingly aroused youth's breath quickened with his overwhelming excitement as he trailed his fingers up to Jounouchi's asshole and pushed two of them inside the soft, tight hole. Once again, the other boy thrust his hips in response as Kaiba reached as deeply as he could inside of him.
"Kaiba..." the lustful blonde moaned with a whimper.
Jounouchi nuzzled his face against Kaiba's neck and began rocking his hips more aggressively, creating stimulation to his back and front using Kaiba's body for pleasure. Rocking his hips forward caused his swollen erection to rub and slide against his partner's hard upper thigh and hip while pushing back pushed Kaiba's fingers deeply into his twitching hole.
Even Kaiba's own manhood was hot and solid when touching Jounouchi's lower body each time the horny young man thrust his hips forward. The other boy was huffing and panting in his ear before tilting his head to kiss and suck the side of Jounouchi's neck. His lips felt almost searing hot on the young man's flesh and created pleasurable sensations running up and down the length of his neck.
Soon, even Kaiba's hips were beginning to move in rhythm with Jounouchi's while his fingers continued to plunge deep inside him. The constant stimulation to both ends was driving Jounouchi closer and closer to the peak of orgasmic heights. The two fingers stroking his insides rubbed against his sweet spot with each thrust and sent shocks of pleasure spreading through Jounouchi's lower body.
At this rate, he would come from humping somebody's leg - just like a dog. The irony wasn't lost on Jounouchi in the least, but all that mattered to him right now was achieving his desperately needed release.
"Ahh, coming...!"
Kaiba licked the other boy's wet flesh up to his ear and nibbled on the lobe. "Come as much as you want," he whispered, working his fingers harder. "I'll make you climax until there's nothing left..."
With pleasure building up in his groin to the point of bursting, Jounouchi's arms wrapped around Kaiba's neck as he lost control of himself in his heightened arousal, crying out loudly upon reaching orgasmic ecstasy. His swollen, throbbing erection pumped out a load of hot cum that spilled over the head and glans then ran down Kaiba's leg and was rinsed away. The contracting muscles in his ass greedily squeezed the other young man's probing fingers before he pulled them out slowly with a wet, slurping sound.
Jounouchi shuddered and groaned in Kaiba's embrace, still riding his orgasmic high while Kaiba's own dick throbbed painfully in disappointment over its lack of satisfaction. However, he endured quietly while taking deep breaths to calm himself, waiting for Jounouchi to recover first while resisting his own carnal instinct. It was more difficult than he thought to not act on his overwhelming desire and lust.
In his distraction, Kaiba didn't notice Jounouchi's movements until a hand suddenly grabbed his pulsing dick, drawing a sharp groan mixed with a growl from the startled young man.
"Nn...!"
Jounouchi's hand glided up and down the thick, hot shaft a few times, then he rubbed his thumb around on the wet head and glans. Without even being directed or asked, Jounouchi backed Kaiba against the wall and went down on his knees. Too dumbfounded by the voluntary behavior on Jounouchi's part, Kaiba simply stared in amazement as the other boy licked and kissed Kaiba's dribbling dick without the usual reluctance or vibes of resentment. The stunned young man gulped audibly and stood completely still, as if any bit of movement might snap Jounouchi out of his reverie and turn him back to normal.
Kaiba's pulsing manhood stood fully erect and dripping precum, looking like it'd blow any second if it wasn't relieved. Jounouchi took hold of the base and gave the shaft a slow, tantalizing lick, gathering the spilled fluid on his tongue before flicking it off the head. He then delved into the urethra and drew a sharp inhale from the other boy while he teased it with the tip of the tongue. Jounouchi stroked his hand up and down the solid shaft while wrapping his lips around the head.
The hot tongue dancing around his tip and rubbing on the glans made Kaiba shudder with a low moan and he had to restrain himself from grabbing Jounouchi's head and pulling him further down on his dick. He pressed his hands against the wall and tensed his fingers until the tips were digging in. Kaiba closed his eyes and rested the back of his head on the ceramic surface behind him, submerging himself in the feeling of Jounouchi's touch as the other boy continued stroking his hot dick while sucking and licking the top.
Just as he was reaching the numbed mind state, an abrupt, tight squeeze on the shaft jolted Kaiba back to awareness with a sharp gasp and caused him to grab Jounouchi's head out of reflex. When he jerked his head down to look at the other boy, he locked eyes with Jounouchi, whose face was more visible now with his hair and fringe pushed out of the way.
The sharp, long eyebrows narrowed while a playfully wicked look flashed in his eyes. His wet lips seemed to tighten with a semblance of an impish smirk, and once again Kaiba was left baffled by his partner's behavior.
Was Jounouchi...teasing him?
Before he could finish fully processing that thought, Jounouchi's attention was returned to Kaiba's dick and he began slowly going down further on Kaiba's shaft, keeping a tight grip with his lips and his tongue pressed firmly to the underside. Kaiba let out a low, tortured moan as Jounouchi drew out his descent at an unbearable pace.
"Ah, ahhn..."
The sound of Kaiba's troubled voice heightened Jounouchi's sexual thrill, and he felt a bit smug in reversing their places for once. Now he understood why Kaiba enjoyed being so dominant and having his partner at his mercy.
While keeping his thumb and index finger gripping the base with the other three fingers remaining raised, Jounouchi slowly slid Kaiba's hard dick into his mouth until nearly the whole length was in. It was hot and pulsing against his tongue, and the precum it produced smeared all the way to the back of his throat, the taste already spreading through his mouth. While his tongue and throat muscles flexed and provided mild stimulation, Kaiba's fingers pushed through his hair and gripped tightly, another anguished groan rumbling in his throat.
"Jounouchi..." he whispered in a strained voice.
It was like sweet agony the way Jounouchi taunted the struggling Kaiba with light strokes along his length, using only two fingers instead of his whole hand, and languidly suckled his suffering manhood playfully. Kaiba's breathing became ragged with the exertion of enduring the mild stimulation, while his muscles trembled from the force of restraining himself.
On the one hand, Kaiba was incredibly tempted to just yank the blonde mane in his grip and pull Jounouchi all the way down on his dick then violate his mouth, but at the same time, watching the other boy play with him so willingly and mischievously was an incredible turn on.
Though it was nearly unbearable, Kaiba decided to let Jounouchi be in control this time.
The rush of exhilaration Jounouchi felt as he made Kaiba squirm left the young man intoxicated with the thrill of being in control over the other boy's pleasure and orgasm. The blonde youth lifted his eyes, wanting to see Kaiba's expression in his current condition. The sight of the other boy's flushed, feverish-looking face, intense expression of desperate need, and moist irises quivering like rippling blue pools was so incredibly erotic it took Jounouchi by surprise.
"Jou...nouchi..." Kaiba rasped in tortured ecstasy.
Jounouchi's sexual excitement was suddenly sent into overdrive. An unexpected surge of pleasure in his groin caught the young man off guard and he gasped sharply through his nose. An abrupt moan rose to Jounouchi's throat and vibrated in his mouth around Kaiba's dick, while his free hand grasped his twitching dick, squirting a couple of low-pressure shots of cum and leaking heavily.
"Mmm! Mnn...!"
In the midst of Jounouchi's teasing blowjob, the other young man had glanced up at Kaiba then suddenly looked highly aroused before unexpectedly moaning in ecstasy around his dick. Now Jounouchi was crouched with his eyes shut, body shuddering, and hand grasping his erection. Low groans continued to hum around Kaiba's own member, and he stared down at Jounouchi for a moment in silence.
"...did you just come without being touched...?" he mumbled questioningly in disbelief.
When the dazed blonde lifted his unfocused eyes to Kaiba once again, the startled young man nearly lost control of himself at the attractive, dreamy look of sexual bliss on Jounouchi's face while still descending from his orgasmic high. Kaiba's heart started thudding harder in his chest while a rush of adrenaline drove him to thrust his hips into Jounouchi's mouth hard, making him swallow his aching, throbbing dick with a muffled grunt.
"H-hurry..." Kaiba groaned hoarsely, nearly begging now.
Too eager for the next stage to draw out his sexual torture any longer, Jounouchi pulled his head back before roughly going down on the rock-hard erection again.
Kaiba grit his teeth with a sharp groan while clutching the wet, blonde locks tightly in his fingers. Jounouchi drew back again with increased suction and tight lips, resulting in a strong pulling feeling that elicited a deep, shuddering moan from Kaiba. He kept his back pressed against the wall with his hips pushed out as Jounouchi continued his erotic 'playtime'.
The way Kaiba squirmed and moaned for him made Jounouchi feel overwhelmed by the sexual high as he continued to slurp and suck the firm, swollen rod with vigor. The taste of seminal fluid was growing stronger as Kaiba's cum continued to leak out in excess while approaching the verge. Kaiba had already been close to the edge earlier, when Jounouchi was achieving his own orgasm using the other boy's leg, now he was relishing Kaiba's reactions while building him up again.
Soon Jounouchi could sense that his skillful stimulation was gradually pulling Kaiba closer to the peak once more as his dick swelled to the point of being practically engorged.
The feeling of Jounouchi's hot mouth sent tremors of pleasure through Kaiba's lower body each time he went down on him. The soft, wet tongue caressed the underside of his shaft, while the heat inside of Jounouchi's mouth felt like it was spreading through his entire groin and igniting his core. It wasn't long before Kaiba could barely contain his voice or lower body as he started moving his hips with the blonde boy's head, watching the lewd scene while fully enraptured with the sight.
As Jounouchi began taking Kaiba's dick in deeper while thrusting almost aggressively, Kaiba could feel the head repeatedly hitting the back of the other boy's throat. His moans began to flow like a stream as his pleasure rose higher and higher, his deep voice seeming to resonate in the cramped space loudly. The intense feeling of pressure building in his crotch until it felt like it would erupt from his dick made his stomach muscles clench tightly. Kaiba hunched over while gripping Jounouchi's head as he was seized by orgasmic euphoria.
"Jounouchi, I'm-ahh!"
Finally reaching his desperately desired climax drew a loud moan from Kaiba while his cum spilled forth from his rapidly pulsing dick and was gulped down Jounouchi's throat. Kaiba gasped and moaned breathlessly while tilting his head back as his mind went blank in the height of sexual bliss, leaving him lightheaded and disoriented. The orgasming young man's body trembled from the waves of pleasure coursing through his groin and lower body, while his hips spasmed a couple more times involuntarily.
As Kaiba's body gradually calmed after the impressive climax, Jounouchi released the twitching dick from his mouth, giving it a few more pumps to catch a final dribbling of cum in his open mouth on his tongue. By now, Jounouchi's own erection had fully recovered from its previous orgasm and was dripping with more cum than before, the remains of his last climax mingling with new precum to run down the length of his shaft and drip from his balls. He used his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth slowly while half-lidded, glazed eyes continued to stare at Kaiba's thick, sizeable dick.
The inside of Jounouchi's ass was throbbing and aching with the need to have something stuffed inside the tight space. Fingers had sufficed for foreplay, but now Jounouchi wanted to be filled with a hot, solid dick pounding his guts and emptying all of its contents inside of him until his tunnel was flooded and overflowing.
...he really hoped he was still high on sex drugs right now.
Jounouchi was then suddenly snatched from his state of deep concern for himself and pulled to his feet by his arm without warning. He was immediately turned around and pushed up against the glass door, his hands and the front of his body squeaking against the steamed-up surface. A hard body - and erection - were firmly pressed into him from behind as his hands were pinned by another pair on top of them.
"Cheeky little bastard..." a low, sonorous growl rumbled in his ear.
It wasn't exactly angry or threatening, more like extremely aroused, like a sexual beast, and also extremely arousing. A nip on the ear that had been filled by that seductive growl turned into tickling licks and kisses along the rim, making Jounouchi moan lightly with a shudder.
"Did you have fun 'playing', my naughty, little pet?" Kaiba questioned in a deep, alluring voice.
With the side of his face against the glass, Jounouchi's ear was entirely open to attack, and Kaiba was taking full advantage of it. The hard, hot dick pressing between his cheeks rubbed slowly in the crack and sent a jolt of excitement through Jounouchi's groin. A leg slipped between his own to push one to the side and make him spread his legs wider, causing his ass to spread as well and open up his buttocks.
Kaiba's hands which had been pressing Jounouchi's against the door glided down his partner's arms then along his waist to his hips, pulling them back a bit to make Jounouchi's ass poke out. His erection fit comfortably and snugly between the two cheeks, and the shaft passed over the twitching, puckered anus, drawing light groans from Jounouchi's lips.
"Ah..."
Hearing the other boy respond to him so sweetly brought shivers that made Kaiba's body shudder. His arms encircled Jounouchi's narrow waist and one hand reached down to grasp the young man's wet, sticky dick. Jounouchi let out a sharp moan as Kaiba slowly stroked the shaft, smearing the fluid coating the throbbing member.
"What do you want, Jounouchi?" Kaiba asked in a breathy voice. "Whatever it is, I'll give it to you..."
The flutter in Jounouchi's chest occurred once more, fanning the flames that created a comforting warmth he hadn't felt with Kaiba before. Though his damp body had started to cool with the moisture on his skin, Kaiba's touch was almost burning hot as his lips caressed Jounouchi's shoulder with a couple of kisses, and his body fit perfectly with Jounouchi's, their contours matching and connecting like puzzle pieces.
Jounouchi cast a sidelong glance at Kaiba from the corner of his eye, a lovely shade of pink creeping up in his cheeks.
"I can't wait anymore..." he murmured in a lustful voice. "I need you inside me."
Kaiba was taken aback by how readily and honestly the other boy answered. The overwhelming desire for him in Jounouchi's eye sent Kaiba's composure out the window and he could no longer restrain himself. Hurriedly taking hold of his pulsing erection with his messy hand, Kaiba smeared the cum from Jounouchi's dick on the shaft before pressing the head to his partner's leaking anus, then drove it in deeply.
The force from Kaiba's push drove Jounouchi's hips forward and his body was pressed flat against the glass door. The blonde youth let out a gasping moan as he was struck deep within, and shock waves of pleasure spread through his groin and lower body. Kaiba was now pressed firmly against his body, buried deep inside him to the hilt. Jounouchi could hear his deep breaths and feel the hot air beat against his skin. Kaiba's fingers were tightly gripping Jounouchi's hips, but he didn't make a move after entering him, simply remaining still as though savoring simply being joined with him.
Feeling impatient the longer the seconds ticked by, Jounouchi opened his mouth to say something, but his words were cut off by a quick, startled shout as Kaiba unexpectedly gave a rough thrust, sending a shock like a bolt of lightning racing up his spine to his brain.
"Ah!"
Before Jounouchi could recover from the initial shock, Kaiba gave another rough thrust into his ass, and then another. Gripping his partner's hips tightly, Kaiba began pounding Jounouchi into the door, causing the blonde to throw his head back and cry out between gasps, his hands clawing down the glass and leaving streaks on the steamed-up surface.
"Ahh! Ahn! Kai-ba-ahh!"
As if a beast had been riled up inside him, Kaiba undulated his hips with swift, powerful movements, stroking Jounouchi's soft, tight insides that squeezed and sucked his dick greedily and hungrily. Jounouchi's head was tilted back and his slender neck exposed, spurring Kaiba to latch his lips on the side and begin sucking the surface vigorously. With Jounouchi's body pressed against a solid surface and preventing his waist from giving way, Kaiba was able to drive himself into the deepest depths of the other boy while angling his hips to hit his partner's sweet spot over and over.
There was barely time to breathe as Jounouchi moaned and cried in ecstasy from Kaiba's fluid lower body movements creating repeated shocks of pleasure to his system. Even though he was being kind of aggressive, Jounouchi could feel Kaiba purposely aiming for his weak point, drowning his senses in exquisite pleasure until all he could process was mind-numbing euphoria. It became so effective that Jounouchi's entire body seemed to be feeling it, and his legs trembled as though they had turned to jelly, and if it wasn't for Kaiba pinning him against the door he'd collapse.
"Kaiba... So good...!" Jounouchi moaned with breathless intensity. "I only want it...with you!"
Kaiba grit his teeth and seethed through them, fighting to maintain control. "Just how much do you want to rile me up?"
Encircling Jounouchi's hips and abdomen with his arms and bending forward behind him, Kaiba quickly pulled the other boy's waist back until it was only Jounouchi's hands and face pressed against the glass. Upon repositioning their stance, Kaiba began immediately pounding into Jounouchi's tender insides once more, groaning as each thrust caused the tight, soft insides to coil and squeeze his dick. The heat of the cramped cavern felt like it could melt him, and each time his lower body area came into contact with Jounouchi's ass it resulted in a wet, slapping sound.
Moaning, gasping, crying, smacking, and wet suction noises filled the small shower space as Kaiba and Jounouchi abandoned themselves to carnal desire and mutual lust for each other. Kaiba's hips rocked and thrust in a swift, powerful rhythm while his hold on Jounouchi was the only thing keeping the other young man's legs from giving out beneath him. The merciless attack on his pleasure senses had Jounouchi's erection leaking like a faucet with precum as he edged closer and closer to the height of orgasmic bliss.
"K-Kaiba, I can't..." the shuddering young man struggled between gasps. "Already... Gonna come...!"
Kaiba's tongue licked the corner of his smirking lips and he leaned forward to speak in Jounouchi's ear, "That's it... Come for me, Jounouchi..."
It was more than the overly excited young man could bear. Kaiba's sensual voice and lewd command seemed to resonate in Jounouchi's mind, the vibrations humming pleasantly in the hazy space and finally sending him over the edge as he reached his orgasm.
Blinding pleasure lit up Jounouchi's senses and his moans spilled out while his twitching, throbbing erection unleashed a load of cum that spurted out to splatter on the glass door, leaving it running down the surface in rivulets of slimy, white fluid. His entire body trembled with shuddering spasms while his inner muscles quivered and contracted around Kaiba's manhood, which gradually slowed to a stop inside his partner's ass.
Even though he hadn't achieved his own climax, Kaiba came to a stop without pulling out of Jounouchi, feeling the other boy's weight pulling as his body grew weak and tired from the orgasm. Kaiba lowered into a crouch while embracing the other young man and sat back with Jounouchi lightly spasming in his lap. He nuzzled the side of Jounouchi's head leaning back to rest on his shoulder and let out a breathy chuckle.
"You always look so adorably erotic when you come, Jounouchi..."
Expecting an angry retort or some stubborn embarrassment, Kaiba waited for Jounouchi's response.
"You didn't do it..." a voice murmured so quietly Kaiba almost didn't hear it over the running water.
It took him a brief second to realize Jounouchi was referring to his climax. Kaiba's wildly pulsing manhood was still nestled deep inside the hot, tight cavern and being squeezed with soft, wet inner muscles. Kaiba looked at Jounouchi, but with the long fringes in the way, he couldn't see the other young man's face. However, the ear poking out through the golden strands was bright red from Jounouchi's excessive blushing.
His hunger stirring again at just how deliciously adorable his partner was, Kaiba leaned in to caress Jounouchi's neck with a tender, suckling kiss.
An involuntary moan from Jounouchi slipped out as Kaiba's soft lips sent tingles spreading through the length of his neck. The other boy's hot, wet tongue then slid up and down the sensitive flesh sensually, sending ripples of excitement spreading through Jounouchi's groin and causing him to shiver and tense in response.
A low moan suddenly hummed right behind his head, and hot breath spilled on his skin as Kaiba let out a sonorous chuckle.
"Mmm... Your insides squeeze me so nicely when I tease you," he remarked lasciviously, giving Jounouchi's ear a flick of his tongue.
The hot body in his arms shuddered with a sweet sigh. Kaiba couldn't stop his hands or lips as his fingers trailed along the damp torso, creating quivers like ripples in the blonde youth's muscles, while his lips kissed and lightly sucked Jounouchi's neck. His right hand found an erect nipple and began rubbing the pink little nub around in circles, while his left hand glided down to the still wet, messy dick between Jounouchi's legs.
Every touch elicited an audible and physical response from Jounouchi as he gasped and moaned while writhing in Kaiba's lap, each adjustment of his lower body causing the insides firmly gripping Kaiba's erection to rub and massage the throbbing mass.
Suddenly, Jounouchi grasped both of Kaiba's hands and halted his groping.
"Wait."
Kaiba froze in anxiety, worried the effects of the drug had finally worn off and Jounouchi was now opposed to his touch. After all, it wasn't possible Jounouchi would want him so completely and eagerly if it wasn't for the influence of an aphrodisiac. Even if it killed him - or his stiff, swollen dick, rather - Kaiba wouldn't push or force the other boy anymore.
Slightly turning his head, Jounouchi had a solemn look on his face, though there was a hint of bashfulness.
"Let me...do it to you..."
For a second Kaiba thought he smelled copper and feared a nosebleed was coming.
All at once, Jounouchi's presence left the disoriented brunette as the other young man lifted himself to turn around and face him. The sharp look in Jounouchi's brown eyes looked strangely clear compared to their earlier glassy, clouded appearance from the sexual high caused by the drug.
"Jounouchi... Could it be...you're not-?"
Kaiba's words were cut short as he was suddenly pulled aside then pushed down and topped by Jounouchi beneath the shower. The blonde youth hovered over him on all fours, shielding Kaiba from the falling water while getting drenched himself. His thick hair hung down partly concealing his face, but Kaiba glimpsed a somewhat troubled, uncertain expression.
Staring at Kaiba with eyes that seemed to be searching for an answer, Jounouchi slowly lowered his upper body to bring their faces and lips together for a deep, languid kiss. After a moment, he lowered his hips into Kaiba's to lie on top of him. Kaiba closed his eyes while his hands took hold of Jounouchi's waist and reveled in the hot, moist kiss the two of them were shared in earnest.
The water was starting to feel cool in comparison to the heat of desire raging in Kaiba's belly and loins, but Jounouchi's body, lips, and tongue were hotter still as the two made out eagerly while their wet bodies slipped and rubbed against each other. Soon Kaiba's hips were moving on their own to grind against Jounouchi as the ache only the other boy could soothe became almost too much to bear.
As if sensing Kaiba's agony, Jounouchi slowly pulled their lips apart then held Kaiba's gaze while drawing back to sit up some.
"I think...I really wanna do it with you..." Jounouchi absentmindedly murmured to himself, as if coming to some conclusion.
Startled and confused at the random statement, Kaiba opened his mouth to speak but wasn't sure what to say. After all, the blood to his brain was currently flowing south, making it difficult to think very clearly. All Kaiba knew right now was that he wanted Jounouchi so badly he couldn't stand to wait any longer.
"I want you, Jounouchi..."
Letting out a shuddering, lustful sigh and seeming unable to wait any longer as well, Jounouchi lifted himself to position his ass over the other boy's stiff erection. Kaiba immediately placed one hand on Jounouchi's hip and took hold of his member with the other, then guided Jounouchi down slowly. The head of his dick pressed into the other boy's wet, leaking anus then smoothly slid in. A low groan escaped Kaiba's lips as Jounouchi lowered himself onto his erection inch-by-inch until it was all the way inside.
The strong suction of the tight insides pulled on Kaiba's dick while swallowing it whole. The aching member throbbed hard and wildly as if excited to be back inside the soft, wet contracting muscles after not receiving its own satisfaction earlier. Jounouchi's hands rested on Kaiba's stomach as he began rocking his hips back and forth steadily while gyrating his lower body as well, stirring up his insides and rubbing his partner's solid erection all around. The wanton body stimulating and riling up his senses while teasing him at the same time made Kaiba feel as if he were about to lose his mind.
"Nn, Jounouchi..."
The deep voice speaking his name with such desperate longing, and the hot, desirous gaze inflaming his passion urged Jounouchi to take action and quench the thirst they were both feeling for pleasure and release. Leaning back and putting his hands behind him on Kaiba's legs while spreading his own with his feet planted, Jounouchi raised his hips then dropped them again, striking himself deep and drawing simultaneous moans from both of them. Another lift then drop of his hips lit up the nerves in Jounouchi's anal cavity for another shock of pleasure racing through his lower body.
Though the water was pelting them both, Kaiba was far back enough that his head and face were safe from the onslaught, leaving him with a clear view of Jounouchi's provocative performance.
Water continually spilled and trickled down the erotic young man's toned body while his hips shook and bounced in the steady, rhythmic motion he used to plunge Kaiba's wet, throbbing dick deep inside him over and over again. Kaiba watched his manhood disappear repeatedly while Jounouchi's shapely ass slapped down, devouring the solid shaft of meat with vigor and making loud, wet, slurping noises. The lewd voice moaning beautifully and delectable expressions of sexual intoxication the blonde boy displayed had Kaiba's blood and adrenaline racing at full speed.
Waves of extreme pleasure coursed throughout Jounouchi's being as his current position caused Kaiba's stiff dick to stroke and rub his prostate with each downward thrust. Once again, he was swept up in the high of ecstasy only Kaiba could make him feel, and increased the speed and force of his movements while arching his back and gripping Kaiba's thighs behind him more firmly.
Each time his erection was buried inside Jounouchi, the hot muscles and tight anus squeezed Kaiba's wildly pulsing member as if not wanting to let go. He was grasping Jounouchi beneath the knees and made the other young man spread his legs wider for a better view of the action. Kaiba's eyes wandered his partner's sexy body from top to bottom, delighting in the immensely arousing scene. Jounouchi's head was hung and his eyes closed, and the expression on his face was one of being completely absorbed in a sexual euphoria.
The pressure gathering in Kaiba's groin and lower body was steadily growing in strength, indicating his orgasm was close at hand. However, Kaiba struggled to delay its arrival, not wanting to come before Jounouchi. While he was focusing on holding back, his eyes ended up landing on Jounouchi's nether region again.
A sly smirk suddenly formed on Kaiba's face and his tongue curled at the corner of his lips as a naughty idea came to mind.
Sliding his right hand down Jounouchi's inner thigh and toward his crotch, Kaiba suddenly pressed his thumb hard into Jounouchi's perineum, once again touching his prostate through the wall of soft muscle and nerves to stimulate the sweet spot. However, this time when he pressed it, he pushed it into his dick inside of the other boy's ass, pinning it between the two firm surfaces of his thumb and shaft and squeezing the swollen gland.
Jounouchi was unprepared for Kaiba's underhanded sexual attack to his weakest point, and his jaw dropped while his eyes snapped open wide in shock. His head flew back with a loud, startled cry of pleasure, and his back arched sharply in response to the sudden sensation of his prostate trapped against Kaiba's dick and thumb. Though the surprise caused Jounouchi to falter and cease moving his hips, Kaiba immediately picked up where the other young man left off and began driving his dick upwards with powerful thrusts. Now his prostate was being rubbed and pressed against more firmly and intensely than before, blinding Jounouchi's senses with overwhelming pleasure that had him gasping and moaning uncontrollably.
"Ahn! Ah! Ka-ahh! K-Kaiba! It's too much! I'm gonna cum!"
Sharp moans and groans of pleasure rumbled in Kaiba's throat as he pounded his dick into the other boy's tight ass while his own orgasm began approaching more rapidly.
"Mmn! Me too... Jounouchi...!" he moaned in a deep, hoarse voice, already unable to hold back anymore.
Upon reaching his limit and breaching climactic heights, Jounouchi's mind went blank while jolts of exquisite, blinding pleasure raced to his brain and erupted like fireworks, summoning a loud, drawn cry from the spasming young man.
Feeling Jounouchi coming around his dick and reaching his own orgasmic euphoria at the same time as his partner, Kaiba's voice joined in with Jounouchi's as the shuddering body dropped onto his crotch one last time before Kaiba's swollen, throbbing dick released a heavy load of hot, thick cum, the contracting inner muscles sucking and milking out every last drop.
A wave of weariness washed over Jounouchi's weakened body, and he swayed slightly before Kaiba caught him and lowered the spent young man onto his body and into his embrace, his hand resting on the side of Jounouchi's head while the other boy's face nestled in the crook of his neck. They both lay gasping and groaning in satisfaction in the blissful afterglow as the last remnants of their powerful, simultaneous orgasms lingered a few moments more before gradually fading away.
Though the traces of sex were erased from their bodies by the still running water raining down upon them, feelings and thoughts that had begun to surface and grow throughout the whole ordeal still remained. It would be a long road moving on from all the unfortunate events and regrettable moments they had shared since the beginning, but the future and what it would bring would have to wait.
For now, they wanted to spend just a little more time together in the present meant for just the two of them.
Epilogue
After taking yet another shower in which he ended up clean this time, Jounouchi stood before a mirror buttoning up the white shirt Kaiba had lent him, a small, crooked frown of displeasure on his face. The crisp, dark blue slacks and neat dress shirt were nothing like his own style and made him feel foolish-looking.
However, after examining his reflection a bit then running his fingers back through his hair, setting it neatly on either side of his head instead of hanging in his face, Jounouchi turned himself from one side to the other while checking himself out. A smug smile of approval appeared on his face then as he held his chin while regarding his reflection thoughtfully.
"Not bad..." he murmured under his breath.
Jounouchi tugged up the collar up and began making pouty, flirty faces at the mirror, acting like a model posing for pictures.
"As I thought, you do clean up fairly well. However, I'm not sure it's quite to modeling standards."
Startled out of his self-admiration by the sudden voice coming from behind him, Jounouchi whirled around to face the bathroom doorway where Kaiba stood leaning against the frame with his arms folded. He had already gone to his wardrobe and changed into a long-sleeved, black turtle neck with black pants, and was watching Jounouchi with his mouth pulled up at one corner in a highly amused smirk.
Embarrassed at being caught ogling his own reflection, Jounouchi quickly ruffled his hair to make it fall back in place, trying to hide his pink cheeks.
"I-I was doing it ironically!" he insisted indignantly. "I was just thinking how lame this style looks, is all!"
Giving a short huff of a chuckle, Kaiba then cast his eyes downward and the smirk on his lips slowly faded away. The flush on Jounouchi's face did the same as they both fell into a somber silence. It was time to stop putting matters off and finally settle things between them.
Pushing off the frame and taking a few steps forward while his eyes remained downcast, Kaiba took a deep breath before speaking.
"I'm...going to destroy the blackmail evidence I have against you," he announced while rubbing the back of his neck with a guilty expression. "The money I've given you is yours, and I'll keep my word about getting Kazama Sensei to do your sister's surgery. There's no need for you to be bound to me anymore..."
When Kaiba finally lifted his eyes, there was a hint of sadness in them. "You're free now, Jounouchi."
Jounouchi's mouth and throat suddenly felt too dry for him to speak, and his chest felt as though a knot of tension was growing bigger and bigger inside it until it became difficult to breathe.
This was all he had wanted for weeks. He'd gone through so much because of Kaiba's screwed up personality that it had made Jounouchi sick. Being nothing but a plaything for Kaiba's personal use had only increased the resentment he'd harbored toward the other boy since they first knew each other. At this despicable guy's hands, Jounouchi had suffered physically, emotionally, and mentally.
But now, Jounouchi couldn't bring himself to hate the frustrating, enigmatic jerk like he had before. After all they had gone through, everything he had learned about Kaiba's past, the brief glimpses he'd gotten beneath his surface, and all the times he'd sensed feelings Kaiba kept hidden out of fear of being hurt, Jounouchi had developed a different view of his most detested nemesis.
Where once he saw an arrogant, cynical, hardhearted brute willing to hurt others in order to get what he wanted, he now saw a deeply hurt, lonely boy broken by heartless cruelty at a young age and twisted into someone who didn't know kindness, warmth, and love anymore. All he knew now was a fear of weakness, betrayal, and the misguided belief taught to him by a sick man that only the strong and superior had the right to live. Because of this, Kaiba had built a wall of ice around his heart to numb it for the sake of being immune to the emotions that would make him weak.
But even though Kaiba had tried to keep him out, Jounouchi watched the wall melt gradually the more they were together. The more he learned, the better he understood the difficult to figure out young man. Now Kaiba stood before him baring his feelings for Jounouchi to see, and it made his heart feel warm.
Feeling a bit self-conscious and awkward over the unfamiliar emotions and atmosphere between them at the moment, Jounouchi cleared his throat lightly and pretended to focus on fixing his hair and collar in the mirror.
"You're not very good at being honest, you know," he remarked casually, eyes briefly flickering to Kaiba's reflection in the mirror then away again.
Confused by such a flippant, and odd response to his announcement, Kaiba tilted his head with his brows furrowed. "What do you mean?"
Jounouchi took a deep, quiet breath then turned to face Kaiba. "If you want me to stay by your side, just come out and say it already!"
Kaiba was about to flat out deny the statement but found himself remembering all the problems his stubborn denial and bluffing had caused before. There had been enough animosity, misunderstandings, and bad blood between the two of them, all because they couldn't be more open about how they felt and thought. Something was different now, and part of Kaiba really didn't want to be so alone anymore.
But could he really change who and how he was so easily?
Letting out a quiet sigh of resignation, Kaiba glanced away, unable to look directly at Jounouchi with all the guilt and shame he felt.
"I...don't deserve it," he admitted, a cold, hollow sensation filling his chest. "Everything I've done to you until now is simply unforgivable, and I don't expect forgiveness at all. So, it's fine for you to leave me."
The deep blue orbs lowered their gaze to the ground as Kaiba murmured, "I've always been alone anyway."
Swallowing the lump forming in his throat, Jounouchi felt his heart growing heavy as he stared at the forlorn Kaiba, who suddenly looked so lonely and fragile all of a sudden. It was nothing like the proud, powerful figure he presented to the world, and it made Jounouchi feel conflicted inside. The other boy's actions over the past few weeks were deplorable, but the way the normally prideful, arrogant young man was allowing Jounouchi to see his vulnerable, unguarded side right now caused the other boy's heart to stir, resulting in a small struggle with his feelings.
"You're right," Jounouchi finally spoke up in a flat voice. "It was pretty unforgivable. Even now, I'm not sure I can let it all go so easily..."
Flinching slightly, Kaiba slowly closed his eyes, having already resigned himself to his fate.
"So you had better work pretty damn hard to make it up to me."
Startled by those unexpected words, Kaiba's eyes opened wide and his head jerked up. "What?"
There was a small smile working its way onto Jounouchi's face as he took a couple of steps closer. "It's only fair to make up for everything you did, right? It was a lot, so I may have to stick around for a while. "
The look of shock and bewilderment on Kaiba's face lifted Jounouchi's heavy heart a bit more, and his smile grew bigger. "You already made a little progress saving me from those Yakuza who were looking for my old man, and by offering to help get that surgeon. But the money you paid me so far - I don't think I can use it with a clear conscience to pay for Shizuka's surgery."
Now Kaiba was even more startled than before, Jounouchi had done and been through so much to earn that money, how could he refuse to use it now?
"Why would you not use the money for the surgery? You almost have enough!" Kaiba exclaimed.
Jounouchi's face became more serious, and there was a determined look in his eyes. "I...can't bring myself to use such dirty money," he explained in a low voice. "I want to earn it in a more honest way, one that wouldn't make Shizuka cry if she knew how I got it."
A small, affectionate smile spread on Jounouchi's lips then. "When she can see again, I want to be able to look her in the eyes and feel proud about what I did as her big brother, not shame for how I earned the money to do it."
Then, a confident, cocky grin lit up Jounouchi's face as he brought a fist to his chest and pressed his thumb into the center of it.
"I'll definitely find a way to do it, just watch me!" he declared proudly. "You'll be so impressed that you'll have no choice but to acknowledge how cool I am!"
At first, Kaiba's face went slack and he stared blankly at Jounouchi, seeming unsure of how to even respond to the boastful, positive statement.
Then, unexpectedly, the corners of his pursed lips pulled up on either side while a snort rose to his throat.
"Pff, pfft!"
Kaiba suddenly let out a burst of laughter that completely transformed his face - one reminiscent of the happily smiling boy from the picture Mokuba carried in his locket. Now it was Jounouchi's turn to stare in slack-jawed shock as the young man who hadn't smiled in a decade now laughed freely in front of him.
When Kaiba ceased laughing, he smiled at Jounouchi with gentle affection. "Your certainty makes me want to believe you," he admitted. "I'll be waiting for the day it comes true."
Despite himself, Jounouchi found himself being charmed by the handsome, smiling face, and couldn't help returning the smile with a nod, taking one of Kaiba's hands in his own.
They stepped closer to each other and brought their lips together for a brief but sweet kiss. The two boys slowly pulled back while staring into each other's eyes, then Jounouchi flashed a cheerful, carefree smile at Kaiba, making the other boy's heart skip a beat. Such a bright and brilliant smile from Jounouchi had never been meant for him before, and Kaiba practically melted at the beautiful sight.
"By the way, I'm starving!" Jounouchi suddenly announced while moving past Kaiba to open the door. "Let's go grab something to eat!"
Jerked out of his dream-like state by the sudden change in mood, Kaiba quickly spun around to face Jounouchi with a startled look of confusion.
"Wait, what?"
Jounouchi turned back to Kaiba while smiling impishly. "You heard me! And I don't mean an izakaya or ramen shop, I'm talking about one of them fancy restaurants only loaded people like you can afford."
Kaiba blinked while shaking his head, still trying to catch up to his partner's pace. "Huh?"
Jounouchi flashed Kaiba a wide, playful grin. "That's right! It's gonna be your treat, Sugar Daddy!"
