Four
Seto Kaiba smirked as he saw the drink take affect slowly on Jounouchi. His temporary blue and red eyes were glazed over and it seemed like bright lights were blinding him and he preferred the dimness of the dance floor lights over the table lights. He slid off of the bar chair slowing his feet were trying to test the floor and it seemed like he couldn't tell if he could tell the heights of the platform of the bar floor and the dance floor. He stumbled and barely caught himself and he began dancing slowly as if trying to adjust his eyes. Kaiba took the opportunity to grab a hold of him at that moment.
"Is something wrong pup? You seem slow…" he taunted.
Jounouchi shivered under his touch as if he were hypersensitive. He glared up at him with his alcohol filled stare…
"Stop looking at me like that…" he slurred gently before grasping his head and groaning.
"Looking at you like what?" questioned Kaiba.
"That icy look you always give me. This is your fault….ugh…" Jounouchi stated.
Kaiba smiled. He looked insanely vulnerable. He debated whether to make the boy's humiliation short term or long term. He right then had the power to make a fool out of Katsuya Jounouchi right then and there but suddenly as Jounouchi collapsed on his body and Kaiba didn't have the heart to do it…
"Katsuya?" he asked. He was staring to get worried. Jounouchi was shivering even more as if he were freezing cold.
"Shut up…it's too loud…too dizzy…" Jounouchi softly cried out. His eyes were closed as if in pain and Kaiba suddenly felt awful. He never meant to physically harm Jounouchi; he had only meant to give him a buzz to where he would be clumsy or do something stupid… Kaiba sighed and decided to postpone his revenge, right now he needed to take responsibility for his mess.
"Do you feel sick?" Kaiba questioned.
Jounouchi shook his head.
"No, just sensitive…everything keeps moving too fast…can't keep up…" he answered.
Kaiba gently lead Jounouchi away from the dance floor and out of the club and into the stairway where Jounouchi slumped on him.
"Can you walk?" Kaiba questioned.
Jounouchi nodded as if determined.
"I don't need your help…bastard..." he hissed. His mood suddenly turned as if he realized just then who he was talking to. Jounouchi slowly placed a foot down but missed the step and fell forward. Kaiba quickly reached out for him and yanked him back into his arms.
"Baka…"
"I can make it!" Jounouchi protested violently trying to pull away.
"No you can't!" Kaiba snapped.
"I don't need you!" cried out Jounouchi.
"Mutt, shut the fuck up!"
"Make me prick!"
"As you wish!" hissed Kaiba before yanking the smaller male closer and just as violently as he had pulled away earlier kissed him. He didn't know why. He didn't know what he was thinking other than it being the perfect way to shut Jounouchi up. He tasted the alcohol on his tongue that moved forward to meet his own and realized just how strong that drink had been. No wonder Jounouchi was dazed and in pain…
Kaiba pulled away, his cheeks flushed pink not believing what he had just done. He had kissed Jounouchi…and Jounouchi had… But he was drunk.
'It was just to shut him up…nothing more…' he tried convinced himself.
Jounouchi looked at loss for words; his mouth was still parted as he slumped onto Kaiba clinging on him as if he were to fall down the stairs any minute.
"Katsuya…" Kaiba acknowledged him to break him from his trance, "I'm going to carry you."
Jounouchi slowly nodded, clinging onto Kaiba's designer shirt even when Kaiba lifted him and was proven once again that he had harmed the blonde. He was insanely light. Was it even normal for a boy his age to be that light? Didn't he eat like a pig? No matter, his weight gave away another hint that the alcohol hit his body hard and wasn't meant for someone so tiny…
"Why?" murmured Jounouchi his eyes finally closing out of pain and exhaustion-lights gave him a headache right now anyway.
"It's my fault," Kaiba admitted apologetically. Jounouchi lightly slapped him, his bracelets clattering as he made the sudden movement.
"Bastard…" he mouthed in a barely audible tone.
Kaiba noticed the silver bracelet on the blonde's wrist and suddenly was interested and amused.
"Isn't Tiffany's too expensive for a low class dog like you?" he questioned with a smirk.
"….From a girl when I first came….a gift…" he whispered, a slight smile grazing his lips.
"A girlfriend?" Kaiba asked.
"No…an admirer, she only came to me once though," Jounouchi explained.
"Do you receive gifts often?" Kaiba decided to keep up a conversation to one, make sure he hadn't given Jounouchi serious alcohol poisoning, he needed to stay up a couple hours just in case the alcohol was too much for his body, and two, to try to distract Jounouchi from the pain of moving and lights.
"Occasionally," he slurred with a giggle, something that was completely unlike the blonde idiot on a normal day.
Kaiba made his way down to his parked Ferrari, "I'm letting you go to unlock the door." He sat Jounouchi down and did so before guiding him in and buckling him up before getting into the other side. He pulled back the roof letting cool air hit their skin as he started up the car.
"Are you hot or cold?" Kaiba asked.
"You're hot…" Jounouchi said with a grin before laughing.
Kaiba blinked confusedly and then sighed, the alcohol was going to fry Jounouchi's brain if not Kaiba's, because obviously he was a bipolar drunk. He decided to judge for himself on his last question and placed a hand on Jounouchi's forehand to find he was flushed and burning up.
"Seto…touch me more…" whined Jounouchi.
"No," snapped Kaiba drawing his hand away.
"Please, touch me all over…please…" Jounouchi begged.
"Mutt, you are drunk and you will claim completely different once you're sane!" Kaiba hissed now getting rather annoyed. His body was reacting horribly to the begging. Thank god Jounouchi was too drunk to notice…
"But I love you," Jounouchi confessed, "I'm madly in love with you!"
Kaiba ignored him not sure where he was doing as he placed the car in reverse and drove out of the parking garage. He wasn't sure where to go… Jounouchi's drunken confession to him was distracting him horribly.
"Aw! Now Kaiba's ignoring me!" howled Jounouchi.
Great, now the idiot was talking to himself. The CEO vowed to never ever pull a stunt like this on Jounouchi ever again. At this rate things were going to be bad.
Kaiba once again was in debate with himself on where to go. He couldn't go to the Mansion. Jounouchi wasn't worthy of being there no matter how messed up he was. Then where would they stay? Kaiba had not even once thought of abandoning Jounouchi at a hotel….or anywhere else. He needed to be supervised until he was awake and sane.
"Ah, fuck it," murmured Kaiba, deciding to go through Ueno and Ginza. He knew where they were staying. If Kaiba was going to stay, then he was going to at least stay in luxury no matter how much the low life in the seat beside him didn't deserve it.
He then decided on the place, only the best. The Imperial Hotel* could suit him just fine just as long as he had a suite.
He parked his car deciding that this definitely needed a phone reservation before he at least passed Hibiya.
Kaiba reached for his phone noticing that Jounouchi had fallen asleep. It shouldn't hurt as long as he was breathing. It would only be for a couple of minutes, he needed him quiet anyway.
"Yes, I need a suite on the Imperial floor ready and to be booked within twenty minutes," Kaiba began. The person at the lobby began to argue that it was full.
"Excuse me, but this is Seto Kaiba that you are speaking to, just to point out and I'm willing to pay whatever price necessary to get a suite on that floor," Kaiba smiled, hearing the guy sputter in shock before telling him to hold on while he grabbed the "main guy". This should be fun. After a lot of talking and proving that he was indeed who he said he was, he finally got his way and warned that he would be there in twenty minutes.
The brunette drove off the night air feeling refreshing to his nervous body. He couldn't believe he had done what he had done. Not just the alcohol but the kiss…the taking Jounouchi to one of the best hotels in Tokyo. Why was he going all out all the sudden?
Twenty minutes seemed to fly by quickly. Kaiba debated whether he should carry Jounouchi in or wake him up…
"He can't sleep with those contacts in…" he murmured deciding to wake him up.
Kaiba leaned over gently blowing on Jounouchi's ear seeing if that would wake him up. He only stirred slightly.
"Katsuya…"
Jounouchi smiled drunkenly, "Hm?"
"We're here," Kaiba announced.
"Here where?" he asked his smile fading into a grimace as he obviously felt an apparent headache from being drugged.
"A hotel not far from my place," Kaiba explained.
"Why not your place or…mine?" Jounouchi questioned, he was confused and drunk and wanted answers.
"One mutt, I need to take care of you because I caused you to be this way. Two, you're not worthy of setting foot into my home," Kaiba snapped getting annoyed get again. He opened the door and escaped from the vehicle before opening the door for Jounouchi and letting him out.
"Fuck you…" Jounouchi murmured, "I deserve the best considering that I love you so much."
Kaiba rolled his eyes before grabbing hold of Jounouchi's hand before snapping at him, "If you love me, you'll shut the hell up and let me do this."
He led them out of the parking vicinity and into the lobby. Jounouchi would definitely be stunned when he would be out of his haze. This was something he could only wish for in his dreams. Kaiba couldn't help but smile as the male beside him grimaced at the bright lighting of the hotel lobby and yet was amazed.
"Damn lights…" he murmured.
The lobby consisted of shiny cream colored interior trimmed with gold. The lights were emitting from above the pillars as well as the large chandelier above them. The workers were all aligned and bowing at Kaiba's service near the two columned red velvet stairway.
"Welcome," one who was obviously the "main guy" on shift for this late at night.
"I'm taking it that we're ready?" Kaiba questioned. Jounouchi rested his head upon his shoulder, a definite headache emitting from the lighting and the taller male's demanding voice that echoed throughout the brightly lit lobby.
"Yes, but there is one slight problem that we cannot fix at this sudden rate of time and that you failed to mention to us on the phone Kaiba-sama," the man said.
"And that would be?" Kaiba asked.
"That you would be arriving with another guest in mind, we only have one bed prepared for your stay here. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience."
Kaiba sighed realizing that he did forget to mention that he would be arriving with another person. In any other situation he would have been infuriated beyond the point of tolerance and would have demanded their best room in the Royal Executive Suite but he didn't have the strength and just needed somewhere to take care of Jounouchi for now.
"Fine, lead the way. I'll pay when I depart tomorrow," Kaiba said. The staff looked relieved and was suddenly curious. Who was this male next to him? Was he important? Some of the girls tried very hard to remain civil. Seto Kaiba was not known to bring guests to hotels unless it was his younger sibling. Nor did he dress in what looked like club attire. Not to mention the male next to him looked very beautiful but nobody knew that Seto Kaiba swung that way.
As soon as they two men were lead upstairs the female staff squealed and began to chatter.
"Oh my god they were lovely!"
"I didn't know Seto Kaiba went for that type."
"I didn't know he went for any type of man or woman at all!"
The two males walked up and were let in. Kaiba received the key and the door shut behind them.
The room's lights were adjusted to a dim setting as Jounouchi collapsed onto a chair and examined the living space. The floor on one side was wood, the other ruby carpet with gold design, the walls were dark behind him, a flat screen TV was on that side, in front of him was a glass table, and further on beside him was a work desk which was near a window. Kaiba walked across the room and drew open the curtains revealing the cityscape. They were pretty high up…
"You need to stay up until some of that stuff wears off… I don't know if falling asleep will shut down your system, your alcohol intake right now is bad," Kaiba stated.
Jounouchi's headache was growing worse…
"B-But my head hurtsss…" he slurred barely able to get the words out. His stomach was hurting and his mouth was filling with saliva.
"You were burning up when I felt you and you probably won't feel well tomorrow," pointed out Kaiba.
"Wha-…what are you gonna do...about it though- i-it's your fault..."
Kaiba sighed rubbing his temples, "I'll see what I can do about medicine. For now please try to stay up."
Jounouchi felt his mouth watering more and felt even dizzier…
"Seto…w-where's the-"he placed his hand over his mouth. Kaiba paled pointing to where the blonde was asking without even knowing the end of the sentence. Jounouchi dashed away before throwing up in the toilet. It tasted awful and bitter…like what he drank. His stomach burned horribly and he shook. He had nothing to throw up except the alcohol. He hadn't eaten anything… Was that why there was red?
Jounouchi could not make his body stop shaking. He couldn't stand and was on his knees and wanted to lay or lean because he didn't have the strength support his body.
"Katsuya?" Kaiba's deep voice lulled him. Kaiba walked into the bathroom finding the small male to his knees quivering. There was blood… Why was there…?
Jounouchi did not respond.
"Katsuya!"
The boy gazed up at him, tearing running down his eyes from being so weak and his liner and make up trailed down his face.
"Have you eaten anything? Can you remember if you ate anything today?" Kaiba questioned.
The blonde shook his head and turned around to throw up again. Kaiba then, immensely hated himself. For once, he felt like what Jounouchi would sanely call him true… He was a first class asshole. How could he have done this? It was one thing to get revenge and humiliate but it was a completely different turn to fill a lithe body with alcohol-especially an inexperienced one.
"Katsuya…" Kaiba called out for the third time when Jounouchi was finished and flushed.
"Hm?"
"You have to stay up. We need to brush your teeth and get those contacts out of your eyes. Do you think you could do that?"
Jounouchi nodded, shakily standing up only to be lifted onto the bathroom counter next to the sink. He was given a toothbrush and was told to brush-Jounouchi did trying to get the bitter metallic taste out of his mouth. He spat and rinsed before leaning again tired.
"Contacts. Out. Now," Kaiba demanded. He was afraid. Jounouchi's hands were worse than natural tremors. He wasn't sure if the boy could do it and sighed. Kaiba washed his hands thoroughly and made sure there was no soap before getting close to Jounouchi.
"Fine, I'll take them out but you need to try to keep your eyes open," Kaiba said before taking one hand to force his eye open and slipped the contact out. He repeated the same routine and wasn't sure what to do with the contacts. There was no solution to put them in so he was forced to dispose of them and noted to replace them for Jounouchi later.
Kaiba noticed that Jounouchi was still burning up and sweaty. He would not feel good tomorrow and most likely would not want to be around him. He was being drunk and bipolar type of clingy but it was because nobody else but him was there.
Jounouchi felt lighter than he did and smiled...sliding off of the counter and into Seto Kaiba's arms.
"I love you Seto," he whispered nuzzling into his neck.
"You don't know what you're saying," Kaiba muttered looking away.
Jounouchi giggled, "You rich bastard…you don't even know what love is hm? I'll show you, I'll love you!"
"Stop," demanded Kaiba.
"Why?"
"Because you don't love me, and I certainly do not love you, mutt," Kaiba snapped before pushing him away.
Jounouchi smiled his brown orbs empty and hazed. He closed the space between Kaiba and him.
"I'm all yours."
"I don't want you. You don't love me," Kaiba repeated. Jounouchi was suddenly using a different voice, deep husky and seductive-sexy just like the grin on his face.
"Fine if you don't believe I love you, I'll prove it to you," Jounouchi murmured before sliding his body downward against Kaiba's until he was on his knees in the bathroom's marble floor. Kaiba was confused as Jounouchi looked up at him seductively and then his hands quickly moved toward the intercrossed belts on his pants and began to unfasten them hastily and made move to the front of his pants to undo it all…
"Katsuya, no! Stop!" Kaiba demanded before pushing him away.
Jounouchi suddenly looked disheartened and began to cry softly in heartbreak.
"I'm sorry…" he whispered between sobs.
Seto sighed and knelt down the floor before loosely embracing the male. He was feverish. He was still sick…and upset…
"Katsuya we can't…tomorrow you'll have regrets as will I," he explained gently.
Jounouchi shook his head no stating silently that he had no regrets, "I love you." was his only verbal reply.
"How can you say that?" Kaiba questioned confusedly.
"I just do…I know I do. The ways you make me feel…" murmured Katsuya. His face was streaked with tears from his emotional break down and Kaiba wasn't exactly sure what to do.
"You probably feel that way for someone else," he dismissed.
Jounouchi shook his head ashamed, looking at the ground, "I love only Seto Kaiba and if I can't love him then I'll be his instead. I belong to you."
Kaiba sighed feeling his forehead again for what seemed like the millionth time. He was sweaty…even some of the dye from his hair was leaving imprints on his skin and his make-up made him look even more broken. His extensions were matted as well. He suddenly had an idea but wondered how to go about it.
"Katsuya, you're going to get cleaned up. You're going to take a shower."
Jounouchi looked up and him and slowly nodded. Kaiba was hesitant and pulled him upward to stand. His hands shook… He first removed the extensions from Jounouchi's hair and disposed of them. Jounouchi himself did not seem to care and he was entranced with the mirror in front of him.
Kaiba was curious wondering what the smaller male was thinking about-and then it hit him as he gazed up. He then saw it. Standing together in that mirror was entrancing-even for Kaiba. He never realized how good they looked together. Is that why people stared last night when Kaiba danced with him? If it weren't for Jounouchi looking sick and his make-up and dye wanting to taint his face they would have been perfect…
The brunette smiled slightly amused. He was supposed to hate this low life mutt but that mirror showed otherwise-seeing him in such place standing next to him, Seto Kaiba saw potential he had never seen in Katsuya Jounouchi ever before. He was curious to see how a sober Jounouchi would be like if he were to love him and be pampered…
He placed a light kiss on the crook of Jounouchi's neck watching in the mirror as the blonde threw his head back onto Kaiba's shoulder exposing more of his neck. His eyes were begging him to kiss more to undress…to taint and take…
Jounouchi didn't realize his feelings but his drunken side did and it interested Kaiba to no end on seeing what could be a potential lover if he was honed and molded… But tonight was one night. One night that Seto Kaiba would later on realize as important because it would be the first time he realized that he was deeply in love with Katsuya Jounouchi and that tonight in the blonde youth's feelings would never ever be remembered.
Tomorrow would go on like normal. They'd bicker and argue…even hate each other but this time it would secretly be a one sided hate. The sapphire eyed CEO smiled, coming up with a divine plan to make Jounouchi his. He would mock and humiliate-seduce until he finally broke with want for him. He'd show him everything he could have but couldn't. And most of all-he would imply on what happened on this night and would never let the blonde forget it. Katsuya Jounouchi was with no doubt, already his. He belonged to Seto Kaiba. Nobody else. Tonight he would play and have fun-he would pleasure him and make this drunken but knowing side of his puppy be sated and fulfilled… Tomorrow he would show Katsuya Jounouchi what he; Seto Kaiba was capable of giving him.
(A/N: Whee! I have a surprise for you next chapter! It's gonna be some awesome sexy stuff man. *_* Are you all amused? I am! I didn't expect this story to turn out this way but –grins- I like how it's kind of just writing itself.
Thank you guys for all the interesting reviews! They all made me smile. Oh and to the reviewer who talked about the freeway systems just to relate, I live in California, I'm very well aware of the chaos that is LA traffic… XD I think with Tokyo it's because the shininess of buildings distracts me and knowing how Kaiba drives-freeways would be terrifying in that expensive beast of a car.
Oh and another interesting review to respond to-YES I agree completely. Kaiba's not stupid. It would take Jounouchi really changing his movements and personality to throw the guy off you know? ^_^ It only too Kaiba a vague moment of déjà-vu to figure out…however I think if Jounouchi tried something a little BIT more interesting then Kaiba would possibly be confused as hell because it would TOTALLY be throwing away his pride…(hint toward a later plot bunny in this XP)
Yay! Hope you guys enjoyed, I hope you all are looking forward to the next chapter! ^_~
*Imperial Hotel Tokyo-Yes it actually exists. It's a bitch trying to find pictures of the interior of the really nice rooms though. –flops- I'm trying to stay as accurate as possible so if you HAVE been there or have been to Japan and my stuff is off-I apologize. I've never been to Tokyo much less Japan-I just constantly study the maps and do research. One day I DO hope to go. For now, the closest thing I have is San Francisco's Japan Town, but that's better than nothing!)
