Set Me Free - Chapter 5
This is the second to last chapter, the story has gone weird from here I think, so depending on how I feel and how you all feel about this chapter and the last I might edit the ending or add an alternative ending, but we'll see. I have a lot of other stories to be working on as well. So anyhow I hope you enjoy this chapter.
---Story---
Jou was silent for a short while but then asked the same question again "Why are you doing this to us? Why? I haven't even met you until you turned up out of no-where, why are you putting us through all this pain?"
"Why?" Seraphis said, his tone dripping with anger, and slight pain.
"I've been watching you for a while, and I've been watching the interactions between you two, both pretending to hate each other to hide your longing for each other? You two refuse to acknowledge it, and I find it infuriating. So I attempted to infiltrate your lives, by taking you away from him then maybe he can acknowledge what he feels for you"
"So you don't, you know feel anything for me?" Jou asked nervously.
Seraphis looked away whilst speaking for the first time since Jou had met him in a small quiet lost voice "My heart already belongs to someone else"
Jou sighed with barely hidden relief that Seraphis wasn't after him, but frowned when he remembered the tone he had spoken in. "Who does your heart belong to" Jou asked, hoping not to strike the others anger again.
"His name is Lucas, but since he is in heaven I can't see him, I haven't seen him since I was banished from heaven"
Jou could feel the pain from the other just by his voice but a new voice cut in before Jou could voice his thoughts.
"You came and messed our lives since you can't see this Lucas? How pathetic and bothersome can you be?" Kaiba growled from the floor, his head was splitting, and he was furious.
"SHUT UP! You don't know anything" Seraphis shrieked ready to attack Kaiba again but Jou stopped him when he said "Will Lucas be proud of you if he discovers what you have been doing?"
"Are you threatening me?" Seraphis growled out.
"No, I'm just saying, will Lucas like it if he found out about what you had done?" Jou asked no ill intention in his words, just truth.
"I know how painful it is to be separated from loved ones, but the longer you wait the more the heart grows fonder" Jou grinned whilst speaking.
"Where did you get those cheesy lines, puppy?" Kaiba asked, amusement shining in sapphire eyes.
Jou dropped down to sitting on the ground with Kaiba before he said "It's the truth, and I'm not a puppy"
Kaiba smirked before pulling his puppy into an embrace, Jou sighed whilst wrapping his arms around Kaiba.
Seraphis watched the sweet affection between Kaiba and Jou and just wished that Lucas could be there to share it with him, he sighed before muttering "you're free to go"
Jou looked up from the ground "You mean it? All of us?" He asked, trying to not get too excited.
"Yes, now get out" Seraphis replied as he looked up at the roof of the place.
"We would, but we err don't know how to get out" Jou said scratching his head.
Sighing in irritation, Seraphis said "My minions will take you to the beginning of hell there you will find a gateway back to your world"
They all nodded, Mokuba walked forward to help Kaiba up with Jou, Kaiba stood shakily and unsteadily, but nearly lost his balance when Mokuba hugged him tightly. Once Kaiba regained balance and was let go by Mokuba, Kaiba walked to Seraphis and asked "are you going to come back into our lives to mess it again? Or will you leave Jou alone now?"
Growling Seraphis replied "I'll leave you alone, if you finally both confess how you feel about each other"
Kaiba raised an eyebrow whilst Jou blushed crimson, sucking in a breath Jou started to say "Kaiba I-I have liked you for a while, I may even lo-" but Jou couldn't continue since Kaiba had taken the opportunity to shut Jou up by kissing him, now that they could enjoy the kiss, they were relaxed and at ease, though Jou was slightly sloppy, unsure and all over the place to start off but Kaiba guided him. Kaiba licked and nibbled along Jou's bottom lip causing a quiet moan to erupt from Jou, Kaiba was pleased with the moan Jou had given and that Jou's mouth opened for him to explore, Kaiba was already hooked on Jou's taste, and didn't want to break the kiss but losing breath very quickly, they broke apart and gazed into each others eyes. Kaiba could say without a doubt he loved the pure happiness wrote all over Jou's flushed face.
"Finally" Seraphis muttered, slightly happy on the inside that they had finally confessed to each other after all the years of nasty name calling.
Just as they were ready to leave, Jou walked up to Seraphis and said "I hope you will be happy with Lucas, Lucifer"
Seraphis could feel a smile starting to break on his face, but kept a neutral look on his face as he watched Kaiba, Mokuba and Jou walk away back to their realm. Silence stretched between all three of them as they walked to the gateway, not once looking back from where they'd walked.
They continued to walk until they returned to the living room inside the Kaiba mansion. Mokuba at once hugged Seto and then Jou before he left both boys alone and chose to play some video games in the game room.
"Don't ever do something that stupid again, puppy" Kaiba sighed out as he sat down in an armchair.
"Ehh? What did I do?" Jou asked thoroughly confused.
Kaiba felt his eye twitch slightly at the blondness of his puppy. "Don't do something as reckless as agreeing to be someone's to save me"
Jou smiled and walked over to Kaiba and sat down on the arm of the chair and whispered "I'd do anything for you. Your life was much more important than mine so I had to do it"
"So...you never did tell me how you felt about me" Jou carried onto say, hoping he hadn't stuck a foot in his mouth.
"Hmm... you'll just have to wait and see" Kaiba replied whilst smirking at a now pouting Jou.
Kaiba chuckled before pulling Jou from the arm and into Kaiba's lap, much to Jou's embarrassment. He wrapped his arms around his puppy's waist tightly and ran his fingers through Jou's blond hair. Jou could feel himself relax in Kaiba's grip, and sighed in content.
"So what happens now then?" Jou asked facing Kaiba's chest.
"What do you want to happen now?" Kaiba asked in a monotone voice.
"Can we just forget it all and have a fresh start?" Jou asked, nervous of Kaiba's answer.
Kaiba felt hurt that his puppy wanted to return to the days they insulted each other and hated each other. He had kind of hoped that something could happen between the both of them but maybe he had been wrong.
"Kaiba?" Jou said quietly looking up into the far away gaze of Kaiba's. "Kaiba?" Jou said louder."
"Hn"
"What's wrong? Did you hear me?"
"Yes I heard you. Let me get this straight you want to return to the time where we hated each other and insulted each other on a daily basis?" Kaiba asked, the hurt and confusion clear in his voice.
Jou tilted his head before letting out a small chuckle "What are you on about? Why would I want to do that? I just wanted to see what could happen between us, and if we could leave everything that had happened with Seraphis behind"
Kaiba felt stupid, jumping to conclusions. He pulled Jou closer to his body and tilted his head backwards so he could lean down and kiss him. Jou immediately melted into the kiss and started to return the kiss. After a few seconds they broke apart and Jou felt his stomach flutter when he saw the small smile Kaiba was directing at him.
"So are you ready for a new beginning, Seto?" Jou asked whilst gazing into happy sapphire eyes.
"I am Katsuya" Seto replied before sealing Jou's lips with his own.
Mokuba chuckled watching the romantic scene unfold in his living room. He was glad that his big brother was finally happy. He felt quite stupid for not figuring out both of their feelings though. He smiled at the scene before returning to playing his video games, giving his brother and his new boyfriend some privacy.
