If Jou had been drinking, he would have done a spit take. Was Mokuba really asking him to make all his own dreams come true? The only response he could make to the younger boys request was to gawk with an open mouth.
"I know it sounds weird, and you two are constantly at each others throats, but I know that he likes you. Well, he tolerates you more then anyone. Oh, this is coming out all wrong." Mokuba took a deep breath and decided to try again. "I'm going away on a school trip for the weekend and I'd really appreciate it if you'd stay at my house while I'm gone."
This explanation did nothing to stop Jou's confusion. Why on earth did Mokuba leaving get him an invite to sleep over at the Kaiba mansion? The confusion must have shown on his face because Mokuba continued.
"See, Seto trusts you. I know it doesn't seem that way, but his emotions have kind of been buried pretty deep. But that's not the point; the point is that Seto hasn't been sleeping well lately. He never does at this time of year; it brings back bad memories. Although he can forget about them during the day by occupying his mind with other things, he can't escape that way at night. He has terrible nightmares. A lot of the time, he can't wake up from them, but a familiar voice and unthreatening presence seem to help. Normally I'd be there to calm him down, but like I said, school trip. I told him I'd stay home, but he insisted he was over it and I deserved to go have some fun. I know it's just his pride talking and he's not really over anything. That's where you come in. You'll be the one to calm him down in my place.
Jou had been quietly listening up until this point, but he had a question that needed to be answered. "Mokuba, what makes you think Kaiba will let me near your house, let alone inside for a sleepover?"
The smaller boy turned bright red at this comment. "Uh… well… ya see… if all goes to plan, Seto wouldn't even know you were there till one night had passed." With a guilty grin he continued "See, I'd let you in tomorrow morning and you'd stay in our house all day. Of course, you would have to skip school for the day, but Seto won't be home until after ten at the earliest, so you can explore and then sleep in my room until he has his nightmare. It's perfect! Please do it." With the added puppy dog eyes Mokuba was giving, even Seto himself couldn't resist the request.
Jou had to admit; he was quite excited by the idea. He had been to the Kaiba mansion once before to work on a school project. The older Kaiba had been forced into a group with Jou and Yugi and insisted that they work in a "Civilized environment" where he wouldn't get any unpleasant surprises. They had been forced to work diligently for hours so Kaiba wouldn't need to disinfect the room twice. The only upside to getting the thing done that quickly was they didn't have work to do in class for the rest of the week, so Jou could sleep with no interruptions. The idea of being alone and able to explore the giant house sent shivers of delight up his spine.
"Ok Mokuba, I did promise." He said with his trademark grin.
"Oh Jou! Thank you so much!" And suddenly the younger Kaiba was attached to Jou's waist, squeezing in happiness. "Don't worry, it won't be too bad. You can play my video games and Chef will make you anything you want. The whole staff will know you're there. I'm sure you'll have a great time."
Jou smiled and suddenly noticed they were outside the gates of the Kaiba mansion. "Ok, well, Seto's waiting for me inside so the driver will take you home. Be here around eight tomorrow morning. Seto will have left by then." And with a wave, Mokuba ran into the looming mansion.
Needless to say, Jou found it hard to concentrate on his work that night. He was too distracted by what the next day would bring. For six until midnight, her served drinks and processed orders quickly as he could so he would have more time to think by himself.
The one thought he was having the most trouble with was the fact that Kaiba had nightmares. The man was practically untouchable; it must be something terrible to give him nightmare. Jou couldn't even fathom a monster scary enough to give the CEO chills. One thing was for sure; he never wanted to dream about anything that scary.
When Jou got home that night, his father was already asleep. He tiptoed into his bedroom and wrote a note telling his dad he wouldn't be home that weekend. As long as his father knew he wouldn't be home for the weekend, he didn't get too upset or worried. Jou knew if he had to be at the Kaiba mansion by eight, he'd be gone before his dad was even awake.
Jou packed an overnight bag with clothes for the weekend and his toothbrush and then laid out his clothes for the next day. He knew if he had to wake up early, he'd want to stay in bed for as long as he possibly could. Finally, he set hi alarm clock and settled down to sleep.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ok, did I trick anyone? Don't you think it'd be weird if Mokuba had been asking Jou to have sex with his brother? I mean, I know they're close and everything, but that's just a little too close.
So, if you feel like it, review, if not, I'll update anyway, because I like it enough to figure out what's gonna happen. That's right, I don't have an ending yet! AHAHAHA. Next chapter is longer; I'm not done typing it.
