Oh. On with the fic!

START

Jou was sitting alone in his house. It was Christmas Eve. Everyone he called was busy. Yugi was with Yami, Tristan with Duke, Ryou with Bakura, and Anzu plotting or something to steal Yami. Even his own sister couldn't chill with him, she had a date or something. He sighed, and flipped on the television.

"Tonight, on ABC, is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, followed by the Grinch. Stay tuned." Not having anything better to do, he watched. Halfway through Rudolph, while he was crying, the phone rang.

"Hello?" He said into the phone.

"Hey puppy. Sounds like you've been crying."
"I haven't been crying moneybags. And since when do you call me puppy?" Seto laughed.

"Since now. I heard you have no one to hang out with, and I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me?"
"Don't you have Mokuba?"

"He's out a date with YOUR sister."
"WHAT?"
"She didn't tell you?"

"No. She didn't!"

"I can see why. Anyways, please? I'm bored and you're the only person available."

"You know what? Why the hell not! Am I going to your house or are you coming to mine?"
"I'll send a limo."
"Fine. Merry Christmas Eve, moneybags."
"Merry Christmas Eve to you too. See you soon." Jou hung the phone up. Then he picked it back up and dialed in his sisters cell phone.

"Hold on Mokie, I should answer this. Hi this is Ren. Merry Christmas!"

"YOU TOLD KAIBA TO INVITE ME OVER DIDN'T YOU?"
"How would I have been able to? I haven't talked to Kaiba since Battle City!"

"Oh take a hike, Ren! Kaiba told me your dating his brother. And if that hadn't clued me in, maybe all the talking to 'Mokie' on the phone would have! Why did you tell him to call me? I'm going to make a fool of myself by being mean to him! You KNOW how much I like him!"
"Well, he invited you over, didn't he? That's a REALLY good sign! Mokie says he likes you, too!"

"Fine, I'll go. But if this ends badly, I blame YOU!"
"It wont, so okay! I got to get back to my date. Merry Christmas, Jou. Love you!"
"Love you too." He hung up the phone and sighed. "I should get dressed, probably." He said aloud as he looked at his doggy pajamas.

Time for Christmas Eve to begin! And what a strange Christmas Eve it will be.

***

Jou bounded down the stairs. He had just finished changing into a green sweatshirt and red jeans. He pulled open the door to see Rowland standing there.
"Master Kaiba has requested your presence."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Let me grab something quick and we can go." Rowland nodded, and Jou went back into his house. "Gah. Present, present, PRESENT! What can I get him?" He thought for a minute. He ran back to the door. "Rowland, what does Kaiba want for Christmas?" Rowland thought for a moment.

"He wants you a lot."
"What????"

"He always talks about you. How cute you are, how sweet you are, how loyal, funny and nice you are."
"Oh. Wow." His face lit up. "IDEA! Thanks Rowland!" He ran back into the house for a minute, and came back holding a bow.

"Are you ready?"

"Yep, let's go." The two of them walked down to the limo. Rowland opened the door and Jou slid in. He peeled the wrapping off the bow and stuck it on his head. A few Christmas songs later, they arrived at the Kaiba mansion. Rowland opened his door. "Thanks Rowland. I know where to go." Rowland smiled and nodded.

"Merry Christmas."
"You too." Jou walked up to the door and rung he bell. It opened a few seconds later.

"Hey Jou." Seto said.

"Hey Seto."
"Why do you have a bow on your head?" Jou laughed.

"I'm your present, because I didn't have anything else." Seto laughed.

"Well, that is quite a good present. Come in." Seto beckoned Jou in, and he walked through the door.

"Holy mother of crap!" The entire inside of the house was covered in twinkling lights. Nothing particularly cheesy, just a million, billion, kajillion twinkling lights.

"You like?"

"Who put these up?" Jou exclaimed.

"I did." Jou turned to Seto.

"You. Did. This?"

"Yep, now come on! Let's watch a movie!"

"Which movie?"

"Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Is that okay?" Jou mentally swore. That movie always makes him cry!
"Sure, works for me." Seto lead him down a hallway, up a flight of stairs, down another hallway, and into a small room with a couch, a fireplace, and a large television over the fire.

"Shall we begin?"
"Sure…" Seto sat down and waved Jou over. He sat awkwardly on the opposite end of the couch. Seto frowned quickly, then turned to the television and hit the play button on his remote.

Please, please, please don't let me cry! Jou thought as the open credits began to roll.

***
Seto paused the movie.

"Puppy, are you crying?" Seto asked Jou. Jou wiped the tears out of his eyes and sniffled.

"No I'm not. I just have -sniff- something in my eyes."

"Aw, come here." Seto opened his arms up. Jou was a bit hesitant, but decided to go for it. He snuggled into Seto. "How's that?" Seto inquired.

"Much better." They both smiled, and Seto started the movie again.

***
"Jou." Seto whispered. "Jou? Are you awake?" The blonde haired boy just snuggled in closer next to the cobalt eyed teen. "Jou, you have to get up."
"Noooooo." He whined. "You're comfy!" Seto chuckled.

"Come on Jou. I need to pee!" Jou responded only with a light snore. Seto smiled, and softly pushed Jou off of him. Jou sat up groggily, half asleep.

"Ren said you love me." Seto twirled around to face him.

"She said what?"
"It's okay. I love you too." Jou fell over on the couch and started to snore again. Seto's mouth hung open, and he was having trouble shutting it. He shook his head and walked out to the bathroom. Jou rolled over and fell off of the couch. He groaned.

"Ow!" He sat up. "Oh. Shit. What did I say to him? UGH!" Seto walked back in.

"So, I hear you love me." He said. Jou groaned.

"You heard it from me so there's no denying it. Yes, I love you." Seto crossed the room quickly, leaned down and kissed Jou passionately. He pulled away.

"I love you too." He whispered. They began to kiss again.

***

Jou woke up lying in bed. Next to Seto Kaiba. The events of the night before came back to him and he blushed bright red.

"Why so red puppy?" Seto asked. Jou yelped. "What? What's wrong, puppy?"

"You scared me. I didn't know you were awake." Seto laughed his baritone laugh.

"Well, I hope you don't mind, but I ended up opening your Christmas present early." Jou blushed again. "Merry Christmas, puppy." Seto kissed him.

"Merry Christmas." They kissed for a few minutes, when suddenly Jou shot up. "Oh my god what time is it?" Seto sat up and looked at the clock.

"8:45."
"AH! I need to get to my house! Yugi will be coming by soon! Yami's Christmas present!" Seto and Jou both slapped their own heads at the same time.

"Let's go!" They both got out of bed and quickly dressed. They ran out and jumped into Kaiba's car. It was a silver Volvo. (A/N: I had to) He punched the gas and they flew to Jou's house, where Yami was standing outside. Jou jumped out of the car after giving Seto a quick kiss.

"For the love of Ra Jou! I've been out here for a half an hour! Where were you?"
"Kaiba's house." Seto waved at Yami through his Volvo's window.
"See you later Yami! Merry Christmas!!" The Volvo drove away.

"Must tell me about that later. Anyways, Merry Christmas, and here's the stuff." Yami handed Jou a small present and a blue envelope. "Oh, and here." He handed Jou another present. "For you. See you at the party!"

"Yeah, thanks. Bye! Merry Christmas!" He went into his house to be tackled by his sister.

"How'd it go?"
"We watched a movie, I confessed my love to him in my sleep, we kissed, then we had sex. I woke up next to him and remembered Yami's Christmas present to Yugi and had him drive me here. The end."
"Oh. My. God! Spill EVERYTHING!"
"I can't! I have to help Yami out! Go hang out with Mokuba, please? I need to do this for Yami. I'll tell you what happened later, 'kay? I'll call your cell."
"Fine. See you later big bro."
"See ya. Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas." She left. Jou opened his Christmas present from Yami. It was a collection of rare cards!
"Damn Yami! You rule!!" He picked up the phone.

"Moshi moshi Yugi Mouto."

"Hey Yuge. It's me, Jou."
