When it rains: Chapter 3
"Katsuya." - Aoi felt distant as she looked at the horizon drawing Jounouchi's attention.
"Hn?" - the blond looked at his friend.
"Do you like Seto?" - she asked not quite giving away any emotion.
The brown eyed man looked astonished at her as he started panicking - "What? Of course not! I hate him!" - he felt a pang in his chest and a lump on his throat.
"Hm..." - she hummed - "What if I marry him?" - she looked hopefully at him - "Won't you like him even a bit?"
This felt like a spear piercing through his heart.
"I..." - he stuttered - "I would try if it's just a bit." - he made his best effort not to frown.
"Really?" - she looked at him smiling brightly - "Thank you!"
And Jounouchi knew, deep down, that the worst was to come.
#4 years later
"Kaiba Seto, would you take Yamamoto Aoi as your wife?" - the damned priest Aoi chose asked in a disgusting voice.
The blue eyed vice-champion swallowed hard.
"Yes." - he said with no emotion in his voice, keeping the memory of Katsuya's smile in his mind while looking at the blond.
The rest of the ceremony was muted in his head, he simply followed the protocol. The kiss he gave Aoi was tasteless, like all those kisses they shared those four years, all his smiles were dry, almost painful, it they weren't directed at Katsuya. All those "I love you" he said were meant only for the blond, not her.
"Katsuya, we have wonderful news for you!" - Aoi was so excited and Jounouchi knew it was going to break his heart.
"What is it?" - he asked forcing a smile on his lips.
"I'm pregnant!" - she said jumping up and down - "We're having a kid!" - she grabbed his hands in between hers - "Isn't it wonderful?"
"Yeah." - he smiled falsely as he felt his heart break a little more.
Seto just watched without moving.
"Katsuya..." - Seto hit the blond sweet stop one last time making the blond tremble into completion has he climaxed deep inside of him - "I love you." - he whispered in his lover ear.
As they cuddled Jounouchi whispered brokenly - "Seto, I can't do this anymore."
Seto sat up startled by the sudden statement - "What? Why?" - Seto perfect face was frowning and Jounouchi was bleeding inside - "What are you saying?" - the blue eyed man tried to swallow the lump in his throat.
"I love you too much to keep up with this." - said getting up and off the bed picking his clothes up putting them on.
"What are you saying? If you love me don't leave me!" - Seto pleaded broken and Jounouchi fell into deep sadness trying to get away from the man's grip.
"I'm sorry." - was the last thing he said to Seto before he ran through the door leaving the man he loved behind.
#1 year later
There was a knocking on the door. A blond man made his way to open it, his thin body didn't resemble the toughness of before, there was no define muscle and you could practically see his bones.
As he opened the door the cold air got in and so did the sound of the heavy rain pouring down outside.
"Seto..." - the brunet was holding a baby against him inside his coat. Jounouchi's heart broke a little more - "Come in." - he said stepping aside from entryway for Seto to get in.
When Seto finished drying himself he went to check on his son that was sleeping in the guests room. Ever since he set foot in the house the two adults didn't share a word.
The brown eyed man was sitting on the couch watching the flames turn the wood into ash, hearing it break. The CEO made his way to the living room to watch the man he loved. He walked silently without a word sitting on the wood carved center table in front of the blond, he looked into those brown eyes, those rich chocolate eyes he fell in love with. Seto moved his hand and touched the other's face making him close his eyes in response. After a few seconds Jounouchi opened them a bit looking at Seto through half-lidded eyes, the CEO moved closer, feeling that anxiety and sweetness rush pumping through his veins like all those times before.
Seto kissed Jounouchi softly, too lightly, too innocently, too slowly, almost painful. He moved away oh so slowly. Their eyes locked. And they kissed again with so much intensity and love and despair.
Their clothes dropped to the floor one by one. Jounouchi found himself laid on his back with Seto in between his legs. The rest of the world was just a buzz in his ears, what mattered to him was Kaiba entering him in the dim light provided by the flames. The way his face contorted in pleasure and the way he felt inside Jounouchi. How the blond trembled and squirmed and whined and moaned. How they didn't need to share any words, how they knew exactly what the other was feeling, how they loved each other.
They climaxed together sharing a kiss.
Seto let himself fall on Jounouchi letting his head rest on the blond's chest feeling his hair being caressed by his lover fingers.
"Seto," - the blond murmured, finally breaking the silence pact - "what happened?"
"She's gone." - the blue eyed man answered kissing Jounouchi's wrist.
"What?" - Jounouchi sounded shocked and Seto was sure he was frowning.
Seto sighed and sat up dragging the blond up with him sitting him on his lap resting his chin on Jounouchi's head.
"I couldn't stand her, I couldn't bear touching her and kissing her if I couldn't be with you." - his arms tightened around the blond - "Since we got married she turned into this selfish, self-centered and she's always trying to argue!" - his breath turned uneven - "She would push my brother away and demand me to look after her wherever and whenever she went because she was pregnant and she would ramble around saying I was hers and no one else and she was the only person that could have me." - he finished in a very deep quivered breath - "She's not who you think she is."
"I know, she told me that herself." - the blond admitted.
"What do you mean?" - the brunet pushed the blond softly from his chest so he could look at Jounouchi's face.
"She told me that if I didn't step away and leave you for once she was going to kill the baby." - his brown eyes tear up a little and he trembled almost unnoticeably.
"Then that's why..." - Seto was at a loss of words - "You shouldn't have believed her." - he frowned worriedly
"Yes, I didn't believe her, she was capable of everything, she wanted you all to herself and I couldn't let her kill an innocent being." - he answered finally letting some tears fall.
"Look at you now. I should have been here to take care of you." - the CEO reached up and cupped the blond's face with one hand.
"You couldn't." - Jounouchi grimaced bitterly - "She knew it all along, since that day in the place. She was just waiting for the right moment to strike."
"Why? How?" - Seto let the obviousness of their situation sink in, she was a witch after all.
"Seto," - Jounouchi reached up and cupped the brunet's face - "You know why and how, you said it yourself," - Jounouchi looked deeply into those blue eyes - "she wants revenge because she never got to have you. Not then not now."
They fell silent and the air was heavy, Jounouchi rested his head against Seto's chest again letting the brunet place his face in his head smelling the familiarity of the blond's smell.
"Tell me what happened, Seto." - Jounouchi finally managed to ask.
"She..." - he swallowed hard and corrected himself - "we argued this morning and..." - he paused a little to find the right words.
"And?" - Jounouchi was growing impatient.
"It's complicated..." - he sighed sadly.
Jounouchi pulled himself from Seto's arms and made his best effort not to shout - "What is? Just say it."
"She said she would kill herself if I didn't say I loved her and made love to her." - he admitted grimacing from the memory.
"And?" - Jounouchi asked brokenly.
"I didn't do it," - he said furiously - "I thought she was bluffing."
"Where is she now?" - the blond finally understood what was really happening.
"I don't know," - his eyes shifted from Jounouchi's whole face to just his eyes - "she left a little before I came here..."
There was silence again.
"Do you know how to prepare baby milk?" - Seto asked trying to avoid further questions.
"Yes, I do. Do you think the baby needs to eat already?" - Jounouchi started getting up and dressed him boxers throwing Seto's at the brunet - "He's still sleeping. But I don't have any baby bottles around here."
"Don't worry about that." - the brunet walked towards the bag he brought on his shoulder - "I have everything he needs here, the only problem is that I'm no expert when it comes to babies..." - Seto looked embarrassed.
Jounouchi smiled softly and walked towards Seto wrapping his arms on the brunet waist - "I'll teach you." - he said getting on the tip of his toes to kiss Seto's cheek.
"I love you." - the CEO mumbled still embarrassed kissing the blond's forehead.
"I know." - Jounouchi smiled brightly.
In that moment the baby starts crying and Seto rushes into the room while Jounouchi prepares the milk. And everything was calm and the baby was eating the blond actually managed to get a look of the baby. His whole face softened when he looked at him. He's so cute, was what the blond thought.
He didn't resemble Aoi at all, he was just like Seto, blue eyes and brown hair, even thought the baby's hair were damp-sand like.
"Do you remember the day we ran to Yuugi's house?" - Jounouchi asked feeling nostalgic.
"Yes. It was honestly amusing." - Seto smiled softly.
"Yuugi's face was priceless." - the blonde chuckled - "He thought Atem was joking."
"Indeed." - Seto looked at his son checking the bottle - "I think someone slept on the couch that night." - this comment made both men fall into laughter and the baby smiled excitedly as well.
"He doesn't look like Aoi at all. His eyes are just like yours and his hair too. His features are different." - Jounouchi looked amused at the little being - "He's totally different from her."
"He looks like you." - the brunet said has he placed the empty bottle in a drawer next to the bed the baby was in and started playing with him.
"How's that even possible?" - the blond laughed.
"I think that fate finally smiled at us." - he said with a mysterious look.
"Oh, really?" - Jounouchi suppressed his laughter - "How's that even possible?"
"I'm telling you, just believe me." - he arched his eyebrows.
"I just wonder why now." - Jounouchi caressed the baby that looked curiously at him.
"I just rather live it than question it." - Seto smiled softly and looked at his son - "Yuuki, this is your real mommy. Say hello to Katsuya."
As if waiting for the cue the child eyes grew wide in surprise and smiled brightly reaching his arms towards Jounouchi and asking to be held and the blond promptly did.
"Hey little guy." - he looked adoringly at the child - "I just met you and I love you so much already, Yuuki." - the blond held the baby close hugging him softly and kissing the top of his head - "From now on I'm going to be your dad, okay? I love you a lot." - he smiled softly.
"No, Katsuya, you are his mommy, I gave the sperm." - Seto said jokingly.
"I didn't give the eggs." - he glared at his lover.
"No, but you're going to give him the unconditional love he needs and act like a mother-hen." - the CEO smirked deviously and Jounouchi simply gritted his teeth shooting the death glare.
#Some months later
"The whereabouts of Yamamoto Aoi are still unknown, all that is known is what caused her disappearance, she and her husband, Kaiba Seto, the CEO of Kaiba Corp., had, according to anonymous witnesses, a minimal argument caused by the incompatibilities of ideas of the couple; they argued about their son's future, Aoi imposed her ideas over Seto's, she wanted their child to take over the corporation, and Seto disagreed profusely saying that Yuuki, their son, has and will always have all the right to choose and do whatever he wants to on his own; soon the argument turned into accusations from the wife. Not long after that Aoi leaves the house, at approximately 16:30, followed by her husband, who left with the baby to a old friend house apartment. It was also said that Kaiba Seto asked her for the divorce not so long ago and she refused to accept it. That's all for today, keep with us for more news-"
Jounouchi turned the television off and sat on a chair frowning trying to maintain himself calm - "Show offs."
"Indeed." - Yuugi nodded in agreement with a sad look on his face.
"Seto," - the blond called while drew intricate invisible patterns on Seto's chest - "what did really happen to Aoi?"
The brunet sighed - "I don't know, Katsuya." - he kissed the top of his lovers head - "I wish I knew, but I don't know." - he held Jounouchi tighter.
"Do you think Atem knows?" - the blond what troubled and drowning in sorrow and guilt.
"Maybe." - Seto whispered - "But why all this now?"
"It's just a strange feeling." - he said not quite understanding himself.
"Katsuya." - a well know female voice called him, the blond and his lover were taking a walk, Mokuba insisted to stay with the baby at Yuugi's shop.
Jounouchi stops on his track and turns around facing the woman - "Aoi." - he whispered almost incredulously but a little happy.
"You stole everything from me." - she shouted. The look in her eyes were scary, it felt like she was mad - "You took everything from me again!" - in that moment rain started to pour and it was so loud it muffled almost every sound.
"Wait, no!" - Jounouchi tried to talk to her - "I never intended to!" - he tried to explain.
"Shut up!" - she screamed covering her ears and closing her eyes - "You always get to be happy!" - she shook her head no like she was crazy - "You always have everything!" - she stopped shaking her head - "You always get to live." - she uncovered her ears and opened her eyes looking completely insane - "But not this time." - she smiled eerily sending unpleasant shivers down the blonds spine - "This time is my turn." - her voice lowered to an almost normal volume.
"Wait!" - Seto shouted at her - "Aoi, what are you doing?" - he looked wide eyed at her as she searched for something in her purse.
"Can't you see, my love?" - her voice was sickeningly sweet - "I'll obliterate him so we can be happy, my love." - her voice was supposed to be loving and sweet but it only made Seto nauseated - "Oh, here." - she said happily taking a gun out of her purse letting it fall from her arm to the floor while she admired the revolver, she slowly pointed it at Seto and the at Jounouchi.
"Quit fucking around!" - the brunet growled - "Stop this madness!"
"Too late." - she smiled as she pulled the trigger.
#Several days later
Where am I?
A brown haired man looked around not quite recognizing where he was, his head hurt like hell and his left eyes was covered. He slid his only uncovered eye shut, everything was still too blurry. After a few moments he tried again and it was better.
The room was mainly white and it did stink of hospital, the he remembered. Aoi tried to kill Jounouchi, but the CEO jumped in front of him and saved the blond, and then the bullet traveled to an unknown target that turned to be a glass wall, it shattered and one of those particles destroyed his left eye. Seto sighted, he could imagine Katsuya teasing him about that later, and he smirked at the thought.
Seto turned his head to face a sitting body, the blond had his face stained with tears. His beautiful hair messier than usual. He certainly could eat Katsuya here and now if it wasn't for his leg. He doesn't really know what happened to his leg but blames the glass anyway.
He stretches his arm and touches Jounouchi's face.
"Katsuya." - the CEO calls.
The blond wakes up startled - "Seto!" - he jumped off the chair and onto the bed - "Are you okay?" - he looks the the brunet that just nods chuckling - "I was so worried!" - he hugged Seto really tight - "I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." - he babbled.
"Hey! Easy." - the CEO laughed softly not yet used to it yet - "I'm not dead nor was I close to it, was I?"
"You were asleep for 6 fucking days!" - the blond growled - "Don't you dare do that again!" - he ended up whining and crying while hugging Seto again.
Seto actually laughed whole heartily this time and Jounouchi just kept on babbling.
"Don't you do that again! Do you hear me you soon of a bitch?!" - the blond sobbed - "I don't even know how she managed to shot that second time!" - he cupped the CEO's face - "Does your leg hurt?" - he asked worriedly.
"A bit," - he kissed the blond - "but not much." - the look in his eyes changed to a mischievous glint - "You know," - his wrapped his arms around the blonds waist tracing Jounouchi's spine with his fingers making him shiver - "my muscles need some stretching..." - he whispered in his lover ear biting it softly.
Jounouchi swallowed hard - "Yeah," - he pushed away getting on his feet - "and your kid needs a hug from his father." - the blond said obnoxiously with an arched brow.
"How is he?" - he asked worried, Aoi was still out there after all.
"He's fine." - Jounouchi smiled softly - "He's right outside with Mokuba. I'll be right back." - he said has he left the room.
Some minutes later the blond comes in the room again, this time with Yuuki in his arms.
"Hey baby." - he greeted his son looking adoringly at him - "How are you doing?" - he asks as Jounouchi places the baby sitting on Seto's chest who held the baby hands to give him balance - "Dad's doing great, don't you think?" - he smiles softly at the curiosity in his son's eyes.
The baby didn't quite answer, he preferred to move to Seto's pillow and sat there. Seto helped him keeping him steady and secure, the baby touched curiously the eye-patch on his father's face, still sporting a poker face he kissed it and then giggled clapping his hands excitedly. Neither men understood very well what the baby wanted to say but they were happy he wasn't scared by the changes in his father, which made them both melt inside.
"You're so lucky." - Jounouchi said softly.
"We." - he made sure the word went through - "We are very lucky."
"We are." - the blond replied holding Seto's hand as their fingers intertwined.
This is it, now there's only the other stuff I wrote to complete this work, but all in all is done. Thank you all who read this. :3
