A/N: For my babe Lucy!

B for Breath

"Jounouchi focus!"

"Focus! Focus! I ain't a damn camera!"

"I will turn you into one if you don't start paying attention!"

"I AM paying attention! You are just losing it!"

"Mutt, don't argue with me!"

"Then you stop yelling at me!"

"This is not a game! Do you want to drown idiot?"

"If you let go of me I will!"

"Don't be so pathetic!"

"Why you snobby little-!"

The blond lunged at the brunette, successfully pushing him under the water. Seto made a disgruntled noise at being tackled, trying to kick and push the blond off of him.

Jounouchi panted hard, trying to keep Seto under the water as long as he could. It didn't go as the blond wanted though, since Seto stopped struggling and dived, disappearing from Jounouchi's grasp.

With a hiss, Jou grabbed for the edge of the pool, watching around the water warily for Seto. Who got a bright idea to get him learn to swim? Oh yes, teacher's and that field trip they are having to the beach in a week.

So his boyfriend agreed to teach him swim.

And that isn't going too well. Jounouchi wasn't able to hold breath under water for more than two seconds and wanted to drop it all together. Seto, on the other hand, didn't appreciate Jounouchi's request to stop.

And it led to previous argument and an attempt to drown the persistent boyfriend. And now Jounouchi didn't know what the other was up to. Clearly, it wasn't anything good. Or… maybe he really drowned. Jou blinked.

"Seto?"

Nothing. Not even a movement.

"S-Seto? Where are you?"

Silence.

"Stop scaring me! Come on out!"

A heartbeat.

And a quite undignified squeak from the blond, as he suddenly disappeared under the water. He trashed around and tried to kick the monster that grabbed his ankle. He KNEW that it was bad idea to try to learn to swim. And he was a fool to accept Seto to teach him. Now the monster got both of them!

Jou's trashing stilled for a moment as pair of arms encircled his waist and some force pulled him up and out of the water. The blond coughed violently and trashed some more.

"YOU MONSTER! *cough* LET GO! WHERE'S *cough* SETO! I'LL KILL YOU!"

The next thing blond knew was warm, wet lips against his own, silencing him up effectively. Jounouchi stilled completely, chest rising fast and heavy. So familiar, so soft and familiar…

"Breathe, Jounouchi…" a dark smirk entered Jou's vision as the warmth disappeared from his lips. His mouth opened to say something but nothing came out, leaving Seto with raised eyebrows.
He growled: "I hate you."

Seto chuckled: "Of course you do."
