RIP Takahashi Kazuki.

It didn't take very long for them to reach the outskirts of the city. Kaiba was speeding and darting between lanes like a maniac, and Jonouchi held his breath all along the way there. He actually didn't know how to drive. He'd never bothered to learn since he really had no way to. It wasn't like he could afford lessons, and Jonouchi couldn't afford a car either. It seemed unnecessary, considering where he lived. Jonouchi could remember Kaiba back in high school being chauffeured but apparently he'd bothered to get his driver's license since graduating. Maybe Jonouchi would too someday, when he could afford a car of his own.

Which wasn't going to happen anytime soon, unfortunately.

When they arrived at the mansion, Jonouchi got a text from Honda asking where he was and if he was even alive anymore after ignoring him all day. Jonouchi responded to him, saying he was visiting his 'girlfriend', which resulted in a little nagging about not communicating but little else. When Jonouchi returned home, he'd probably hear about it.

For the moment, though, Jonouchi was more concerned about Kaiba, who had just closed his bedroom door behind them. Jonouchi immediately approached, feeling hopeful, and he simply grinned when he was given a questioning look before grabbing the front of Kaiba's shirt and pulling him into a kiss. He'd waited patiently for several hours to do that. Surely he was entitled to being a little more forward than usual.

When he wasn't met with immediate resistance, Jonouchi directed Kaiba towards the bed. He'd ended up sitting rather unceremoniously on top of the mattress after tripping into it, and Jonouchi enthusiastically straddled him. Kaiba looked a little indignant about it but he wasn't trying to kick him off.

"You look so annoyed," Jonouchi snickered, resting his arms on Kaiba's shoulders.

"I'm not."

Jonouchi heard Kaiba snort as he pushed his shoulders down until Kaiba was lying flat on the bed. Then he watched him close his eyes as Jonouchi worked on loosening his belt. He liked it when his touch made Kaiba shudder, and when he pulled Kaiba's shirt over his chest, Kaiba inhaled a little before relaxing back down. It was enjoyable to Jonouchi because Kaiba was so sensitive, and he entertained himself by leaving light kisses all over his abdomen before unbuttoning Kaiba's pants.

Jonouchi liked foreplay, the teasing aspect especially. It was better when he could take his time and really lose himself in it. He felt his mouth breaking into a smile as he continued fooling around, touching as much skin as possible with his lips before putting one hand down Kaiba's crotch. He reached under the tight material of his jeans before being able to touch him. It wasn't enough to really do anything though, and Jonouchi used his free fingers to pull the zipper down before the pressure was released. Then he heard Kaiba sigh, his body lying back down deeper against the bed before his eyes finally opened again.

"How would you feel about me doing it to you for once?" Kaiba asked lazily. "I've never tried it before, but I'm a quick study."

"Oh really?"

Jonouchi raised his eyebrows as he looked toward Kaiba's face.

"I didn't think you would be interested in that."

Kaiba sat up. Jonouchi was going to continue to ask about it, but instead he ended up just following as Kaiba helped him adjust onto his back.

"You were being serious?" he asked hesitantly before feeling Kaiba's fingers slipped under his shirt.

They'd just done it the night before, but it still felt good to feel wanted. It always felt like it had been days or weeks ago.

"When am I not serious?" asked Kaiba as he took Jonouchi's shirt off.

He tossed it onto the floor before unzipping Jonouchi's pants and pulling down his underwear past his hips. Feeling slightly nervous, Jonouchi bit the bottom of his lip. He was already aroused, but this whole dynamic was new. Even if he'd been blown before, he had a feeling this experience would be much different from his first and only. He hoped that nothing he did would embarrass himself. The last thing Jonouchi wanted to do was make a stupid noise or dumb face and throw Kaiba off.

Once Kaiba pulled his boxer briefs down past his hips, Jonouchi's semi-erect dick came into view and Jonouchi shuddered slightly from the chilliness of the room. Kaiba was not shy, and he grabbed it with a fist before taking the cherry flavored lube Jonouchi had spilled on the bed and using it all over his shaft.

He opened the cap and dabbed a bit onto a finger, sucking it off with a grin on his face while Jonouchi stared down at him with an embarrassed expression. He could feel his entire face noticeably burning up while Kaiba moved closer to his pelvic region.

"It really does taste like fruit."

Jonouchi scoffed. He forgot how to look Kaiba in the eyes at that moment, he could feel his skin burning all the way down to his chest. Kaiba was now moving so he was on his elbows. Feeling stupidly shy, Jonouchi looked away before closing his eyes. It felt like time had slowed down, and the pit of his stomach was coiling tightly. At first, Jonouchi could control his breathing easily; Kaiba was just giving a very slow, sensual hand job but then the sensation changed and Jonouchi could feel Kaiba's tongue suddenly sliding it under the head of his dick.

Almost immediately he started to tremble. Jonouchi was more sensitive than he liked to let on, and when Kaiba used his free hand to touch the underside of his testicles, his breath began to hitch before Kaiba's mouth even had a chance to engulf him.

This was way more aggressive and intense than the pitiful performance Kitamura had given him in the past. Jonouchi couldn't help but wonder if Kaiba had done this before, because he seemed to know exactly what he was doing and had a purposeful technique of sorts. Kaiba was blessed at being good at nearly everything he attempted. Although he still had to stop to breathe, Kaiba was able to have Jonouchi moaning within seconds of starting. He wasn't shy about sucking hard, and he wasn't timid about messing with the rest of Jonouchi's genitals either.

Kaiba must have done a lot of self-study. Jonouchi had watched his fair share of porn before ever considering sex with another person. Maybe he and Kaiba weren't so different after all, if that was even the reason for Kaiba's talent.

Kaiba had placed his elbow down on Jonouchi's hip before licking his shaft one last time. Jonouchi awkwardly opened his eyes just as he saw Kaiba wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, smearing the red lubrication off his lips.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Kaiba asked.

He started pulling down his pants before Jonouchi could respond.

"I've been thinking about sex since I woke up," Jonouchi replied with a laugh.

He motioned Kaiba towards himself as soon as he was undressed. It just came as a little surprise when Kaiba grabbed his hip but Jonouchi certainly wasn't bothered by the direction he was being given. Kaiba was actually equally excited, or it seemed he was, and Jonouchi wasn't going to complain about enthusiasm for once. Happily flipping over, Jonouchi got on his stomach while he waited for Kaiba to grab the lubricant. He could smell the cherry lube while he was being fingered, and he let his head fall onto the pillow as Kaiba slid his fingers in and out of him slowly. He slipped two in easily right from the beginning; Jonouchi felt very relaxed, especially since they'd only had sex the night before.

"Do you have a preference?" asked Kaiba.

He stopped the foreplay and actually began lubricating himself while Jonouchi watched.

"I'm not against suggestions."

Jonouchi bit his lip, feeling sort of unsure of himself. He probably looked funny on his elbows and knees with his ass sticking out, and he tried not to think about it too hard. Kaiba at least wasn't laughing at him.

He really shouldn't have been into doggy so much, it had seemed like the most humiliating thing imaginable to Jonouchi when he was a teenager, but maybe he liked that about it? He definitely had a masochism streak. When it came to positions, this was probably one of the most submissive things a person could do, but Jonouchi also thought it felt the most intense to receive, and that's what he really cared about the most. How it felt, not how it looked.

Kaiba stood on his own knees before moving right behind Jonouchi's backside, gently rubbing his back and shoulders while waiting for an answer.

"We don't need to do it that way unless that's what you actually prefer," said Kaiba.

"I do prefer it," Jonouchi blurted before feeling embarrassment.

It helped that Kaiba's hands were rubbing his back. It made him feel less scrutinized.

"And if you want to please me, you're going to have to be a little less polite."

Jonouchi rocked back and pressed himself against Kaiba's pelvis, feeling the length of Kaiba's erection against his ass. He closed his eyes and released a shaky breath when he did it. Jonouchi was surprised he'd waited this long, he was so excited, and he hoped that Kaiba wouldn't take too much time getting rough once it started.

"Why don't you try putting me in my place?" Jonouchi said with a smirk.

He was unsurprised by how Kaiba's eyebrows rose at the suggestion. Jonouchi had never said anything like that before, but he hoped Kaiba would play along with it. Jonouchi knew what he wanted. Kaiba was also aroused, and despite how controlled he could be at times, Jonouchi knew Kaiba had a wild streak somewhere deep inside just waiting to come out. It would just have to be coaxed.

Kaiba laughed.

"And where is your place, pray tell?"

"Under you, if you can actually keep me there," Jonouchi challenged flirtatiously.

Kaiba had to lose his self-control eventually.

"I'm not going to complain if you play a little rough with me."

Kaiba snorted but went along with Jonouchi's request. He grabbed Jonouchi's shoulder and pushed him down against the bed assertively before musing his hair with his fingers. It wasn't as gentle as the times he'd done it before, but even with the fistful of hair in his hand, Kaiba rubbed Jonouchi's side gently while holding him down against the bed. Even though it felt rough, there was also a kind of tenderness there too that Jonouchi could sense.

"Are you positive you want that?" Kaiba asked again, "Like you said this morning, I'm a beast, and I want to be sure that you're man enough to handle that."

"Don't flatter yourself," Jonouchi taunted, "I can handle anything you could dish out, Kaiba. I'm not gonna break."

"I guess we'll see."

He grabbed Jonouchi's hips with both of his hands suddenly and pulled him back. It took Jonouchi by surprise, since he was in complete downward dog and Kaiba didn't take so long trying to penetrate him for once, but there were no complaints. Just the sound of Jonouchi's breath catching and the strange feeling of his heart beating hard in his chest before Kaiba clutched his hair firmly and started thrusting into him.

There was no hesitation this time around on Kaiba's part. When Jonouchi tried hitting back into him harder, Kaiba just shoved him back into the bed, speeding up his momentum while Jonouchi's legs began shaking. He felt almost overstimulated; his back was becoming damp with sweat and his voice strained from pressure until he bit down on the pillow to relieve himself. He had to grab onto the sheets with his hands to keep from grabbing at his own hair, and several times he gasped before collapsing his head on the pillow.

Kaiba wrapped his free hand around his erection, jerking him off a few times until Jonouchi couldn't stop himself from climaxing. The pleasure kept rising and rising until it felt like Jonouchi couldn't hold it back any longer, and then he violently shuddered, crying out loudly as he felt a hit of endorphins overload his brain. He was able to choke back some of the noise, but not all of it. Jonouchi knew he had cried loudly into the pillow and Kaiba had probably heard him do it. By that point though, he was far too satisfied to feel all embarrassed over it, and it wasn't like Kaiba was perfectly quiet, either.

Kaiba grabbed Jonouchi's hip again, more aggressively this time, and gave a few last frantic thrusts. The way he held Jonouchi's backside made the penetration feel even more full than before, and Jonouchi still moaned from the pleasurable feeling of fullness before feeling Kaiba's erection begin to twitch. It was strange, feeling Kaiba's orgasm coming, and it came as no surprise when he finally gasped loudly and ejaculated into him. Jonouchi could feel Kaiba's tension leaving his body before he collapsed onto Jonouchi's back, still rocking his hips into him slowly and hiding his face in Jonouchi's hair until there was nothing left. Then, getting up, Kaiba stroked Jonouchi's hair a few times, his eyes on him until they'd both caught their breaths.

Jonouchi was glad that Kaiba got up to get wipes; as soon as he moved his backside, he could feel semen trickling down his cheeks. If he wasn't so tired, Jonouchi would take a shower. There wasn't much he could do about ejaculate now after the fact.

He was so tired. Jonouchi watched Kaiba clean himself before taking a wipe for himself, cleaning off his backside as much as he could while also maintaining some dignity. Then when finished, he threw the wipe into the nearby trash can before laying face down on the bed, eyes closed and hair still a mess. Kaiba wiped the semen off from Jonouchi's hip where he had been grasping him before throwing it away and returning to bed.

"Still alive?"

Jonouchi shook his head, and he turned it to show a wide grin before wiping his hair back.

"That was incredible," he sighed, letting himself sink deeper into the mattress.

It had been quick, but also immensely satisfying, in his opinion. He'd never had that kind of fun, raw sex he'd always fantasized about. Now he was essentially paralyzed for the moment. For once, he wasn't already planning to try something again in the near future.

He lay motionless as Kaiba moved closer to him. Jonouchi wanted to also move closer, but he was simply too exhausted to do so.

"What gave you the idea?" asked Kaiba.

"Uh, I don't know. It's not bad to have it rough once in a while," Jonouchi reflected, sighing to himself before closing his eyes again.

He wasn't sure what made him want it, he simply did.

"I haven't thought much about it, I just know I liked it."

"Were you into this sort of thing before?" asked Kaiba.

"Yeah," Jonouchi nodded, "For as long as I've been having sex. Even before I did anything, I would think about it... I was always into a certain type of porn, I guess."

"So you like being dominated?"

"It wasn't something I realized until recently," Jonouchi admitted, "Don't get any weird ideas, Kaiba. It's just a kink."

Kaiba snorted in reply, sitting up against the bed's headboard while playing with Jonouchi's hair. Jonouchi sighed, closing his eyes and enjoying the feeling of Kaiba's fingers running through his hair. For a moment, Jonouchi almost felt like he was drifting. His second wind hadn't returned yet to his surprise. Probably for the best. Kaiba was always tired (if not asleep) after sex, and Jonouchi knew being wound up again would just put him off.

"I'm a little surprised you played along though," Jonouchi yawned, crossing his arms on his pillow and turning his head to the side so he could look up at Kaiba with one eye. "I thought you might not go for it."

"You said you could handle me.

"Besides, I've always liked asserting myself. You just haven't been a fan of my methods in the past," teased Kaiba, smirking and roughing up Jonouchi's hair a little. "I didn't think you'd want that sort of thing with me considering our history."

"Well, you are a bit of an uppity prick," Jonouchi muttered. "You've been an asshole in the past, but so have I... and you're also still one of the greatest people I know," he continued, scooting closer to Kaiba. "I'm just happy things are finally working out."

Jonouchi boldly moved his head onto Kaiba's thigh, moving over the sheets to make himself more comfortable. He didn't hear any complaints or snarky comments about it, so he settled in and enjoyed the feeling of Kaiba's slender fingers combing through his hair.

"One of the greatest people you've known, huh? And here I thought you only liked me for my body."

"Shuddup," Jonouchi snorted. "You know how I feel about you, Kaiba. I'm fine with you being a little rough with me, it's not like you're really trying to hurt me or some shit. I'd trust you to ease up if I asked you to."

"What about when we have sex that's romantic and gentle?" asked Kaiba with a smirk, "You enjoy that too?"

"Of course," Jonouchi opened his eyes briefly, "You're amazing no matter what we do. I just sometimes like certain things. I didn't really expect the way you did it the first time... I'd never had sex like that before..."

He closed his eyes and sighed. That confession had sounded less horrible in his head. But he couldn't really take it back now.

"I wish that had been my first experience..."

Jonouchi attempted to stop talking, but words continued to fall out of his mouth, and he gave up.

"Every time I look back, I can't believe how much I fucked up."

"You are way too hard on yourself."

Kaiba peered down at his face, but didn't stop stroking his hair. Jonouchi could feel his gaze on him now.

"What happened wasn't your fault, Jonouchi. You didn't know about Kitamura. You can't blame yourself for something you didn't ask for."

"Maybe it wasn't completely my fault what happened," Jonouchi replied, "But afterwards, I was trying so hard not to think I'd been raped, and I let him manipulate me so easily."

He grumbled, pressing his face against Kaiba's leg as his hair fell over his face. It was difficult to talk about, but at least Kaiba already knew what had happened, so he didn't have to deal with shock. Or disgust.

"I brought that shit on myself," reasoned Jonouchi, "I shouldn't have let it happen. I shouldn't have let him into the hotel room."

"Kitamura's a manipulator with a lot of experience. What could you have done to prevent it from happening?" asked Kaiba. "He knows how to take what he wants from people. You're too hard on yourself."

Scooting down, Kaiba leaned back and moved a pillow behind him, until he was almost lying instead of sitting up with Jonouchi in his lap.

"Besides, he's gone now. You don't need to waste any more time thinking about it since it won't change anything. There's only the future now to look forward to."

Jonouchi snorted.

"I guess that's a consolation. It's just hard trying to deal with all the shit I did now that I really understand what was going on."

As opposed to when he was in denial and could act like things weren't as bad as they were. He wasn't sure if it was due to his stupidity, or Kitamura's skill at manipulation, that things went on for as long as they did. Maybe it was both. How could someone just not be aware that they were being raped, repeatedly? Still, now Jonouchi had to deal with everything he'd done in the past several months.

"Thanks for listening to me, anyway," said Jonouchi, "I don't really like talking about it, but I know eventually I have to face what happened."

Jonouchi went silent for a few seconds as he got lost in his thoughts. It didn't really matter if Kaiba told him not to worry about it or blame himself for being victimized, Jonouchi still felt at fault to some degree. He'd always been a bit of a fool. It was like he could sense people's bad intentions around him, but Jonouchi lacked the ability to keep them at bay. When he'd been younger, Jonouchi had assumed the worst out of people and didn't hesitate to act out in violence whenever he felt threatened by someone. Now though, after having spent so much time around his friends and the influence of Yugi, he'd become very soft. It was like he'd lost his ability to protect himself, and Jonouchi wasn't sure just how to feel about that.

"We should do that again sometime, too, you know," Kaiba smirked, instantly breaking Jonouchi away from his thoughts, "Maybe with handcuffs if you're feeling up to it."

"What's this?" Jonouchi grinned, feeling giddy at the mention of Kaiba's interest.

He allowed himself to get swept up in the lighter mood Kaiba had developed. The last thing he wanted after such a good fuck was to sink into troubling thoughts again.

"Finally turning to the dark side?" joked Jonouchi, "How sturdy is this headboard, anyways?"

"It's oak, so I'm going to make an educated guess and say it's sturdy enough. What are you planning to do exactly?" laughed Kaiba, "Slam your body into it repeatedly?"

"Not on purpose," Jonouchi snickered, "But if you looped the handcuffs through the gaps at the top, they'd be very effective."

"How much thought have you given this?" Kaiba asked in surprise.

"Just enough."

The fact that Jonouchi had plotted out just what he wanted to do revealed just how into it he was. Kaiba wasn't freaked out yet, so it had to be okay to share things like that with him. Besides, who else could Jonouchi talk about it with? Maybe Mai, but Jonouchi didn't really want to discuss those kinds of kinky details with anyone else.

"I just can't believe I'm so tired," Jonouchi said as he stretched contentedly, "You really wore me out this time. I really believed I was going to die."

"It's not even that late yet," replied Kaiba back as he stretched his own legs. "Also, you owe me a massage."

"A massage?" Jonouchi snorted. "Right after all of that?"

"I bought you really nice shoes," reasoned Kaiba. "Besides, I said I'd give you one back this morning. Don't complain."

"Well fuck-" Jonouchi blurted out, contemplating the terms of the deal and wondering if he was being robbed or not. "Once I can move again, I'll give you your silly massage."
