"I seriously don't see why you're so upset."

Seto was staring down at Jou, his face fixed in his usual scowl. "Upset? I'm not just upset, puppy. I'm pissed."

Frowning, Jou rolled his eyes and sighed. "Seto, I said I was sorry."

"Sorry doesn't fix my laptop, mutt."

Grinding his teeth, Jou fought the urge to deck his boyfriend in the face. Jou wasn't a violent person much anymore, but there were still some days when he just wanted to see Seto's perfect face with a black eye.

Only if he put it there, of course. No one else was allowed to touch his face.

The day had begun innocently enough. Bored out of his mind, Jou had decided to do some surfing the web with Seto's laptop.

Recently, Seto had been on edge. Snapping at the littlest things, and not even Mokuba was exempt from Seto's mood. Jou didn't know what was going on, and he felt like he was constantly walking on glass around the brunet.

Then, he suddenly had the bright idea to design for Seto a new background photo. Something cheerful, something that would hopefully cheer the CEO up or at least relax him a bit. Meticulously, Jou had spent hours taking different photos and piecing them together until they fit just the right way, and finally, after a few hours, he was finished.

Right before he was about to show Seto his newest creation, however, the CEO had stormed into the study, saw Jou on his laptop, and immediately exploded. Out of shock, Jou hit an unknown button on the laptop and suddenly the blue screen of death appeared.

No matter how Jou tried to fix it, it stayed that way. And thus, the aforementioned CEO was thoroughly pissed off.

"Seto, listen…"

Scowling, Seto cut him off without a second thought. "You know not to touch my laptop, especially not when you know how important it is to my work, you mutt."

Bristling with anger and hurt, Jou snapped back. "Damnit moneybags, will you let me speak!"

It really pained Jou to hear the name mutt escaping from Seto's lips. Ever since they had been dating, Seto hadn't called him that at all, knowing that it upset Jou deeply. He always called Jou his puppy, or just by his first name Katsuya.

"I don't need to hear you speak to know what you did wrong, mutt. You messed this up, and if I can't fix it, I'll be even more pissed." Seto added, his voice furious and laced with anger and annoyance.

Blinking back his tears, all the stress and exhaustion that had been building up the past few days caused something to spark inside him.

"You…YOU NICOMPOOP!"

"Dirty mutt."

"MORONIC BASTARD!"

"Idiot slowpoke."

"FART MONKEY!"

"Clueless twit."

"BUBBLEBUTT!"

"Uneducated fool."

"SLUT MONKEY!"

"Foot licker."

"STUPID HEAD!"

"ENOUGH!" Seto snarled. "If you have time to stand here and hurl ridiculous insults at me, then you have time to get the hell out of my face and let me try to recover whatever you messed up."

Hands shaking, Jou's fingers unconsciously clenched into a fist. Whirling around, he punched the wall, not even flinching when he felt the flesh on his skin cutting open.

"Fine." Jou said, his voice deadly quiet. "You can go and be a crusty-toed ass master for all I care."

Stopping in front of the door, Jou's voice grew slightly in volume, although his face was still turned away. "Stop pushing us away, Seto. Or you might just find yourself left with nothing."

Marching out of the room, Jou cradled his bloody fist towards his chest, the tears starting to flow from his eyes.

Seto Kaiba was exhausted. The confrontation he had with Jou didn't help his mood at all, as he growled and sank into his chair.

He wasn't exactly sure what had him so wound up. Normally he wouldn't have reacted this much over him using his laptop. But, he was stressed from work, even more than usual.

Kaiba Corp was trying to lock down an important business deal, and so far it wasn't going too smoothly. Seto had been working day and night, and admittedly he missed being able to spend time with his little brother and his lover.

It was amazing how understand the two of them were about his work. They never complained much, only worried about his health and sanity when it came to his workload. But recently he did notice he had been snapping at them more, yet he couldn't find it within himself to change.

Sighing, he stared down the laptop screen in front of him, trying to will away the blue screen.

Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to force the laptop to power down. Stabbing the power button with vengeance, he tapped his foot impatiently while waiting for the screen to load.

When he was finally able to log in and the background photo popped up, Seto gasped.

His normally blank and boring background was instead replaced with a colorful collage of pictures. There were pictures of him, Mokuba, and Jou-smiling, playing, and random pictures from the many places they had traveled to together.

There were pictures of the three of them hugging, there were pictures of them posing in funny positions (mainly Mokuba and Jou, Seto had just stared at them while rolling his eyes), Mokuba with Jou battling it out on a video game.

But, what drew Seto's eyes the most was the picture in the middle, of him and Jou sharing a sweet kiss. Both of them had their eyes closed, and their hands were gently brushing each other's cheek, with their fingers clasped tightly together.

All in all, it was an amazing photo. All throughout the collage, small, inspirational messages like "We love you, Seto!" and "One happy family!" were scattered around.

To the one that holds my heart, I hope you always know how loved you are. –Love, Katsuya

Seto's heart dropped to his feet as he read the line, over and over again.

"Oh god…I've made a terrible mistake…"

Cursing under his breath, Jou struggled to tie the bandage he was trying to wrap around his injured fist. Unfortunately, the wound was on his right hand so he was having much difficulty trying to get the bandage taut enough around the scratches.

Finally giving up after his fifth attempt, Jou gingerly prodded the torn skin around his knuckles, wincing when he touched a spot too roughly.

He hadn't intended to hurt himself so badly. But, with the way the tension was building up in the room, he knew that if he didn't leave like he did, his next target might have just been Seto's face.

A creak on the bed besides him made him jump, and he flinched away from Seto's gaze when he noticed the brunet. Attempting to hide his fist with his chest, Jou whispered, "What, Seto?"

The room was quiet for a few moments, and Seto hesitated before speaking. "…I'm sorry. I saw what you made for me…it was beautiful."

"I wanted to cheer you up…you don't know how it's been, with you around less and less these days." Jou responded, his voice quiet.

"I've just been stressed out lately-but its no reason for me to be so rude and on edge around you and Mokuba." Seto's voice was warmer, less distant than it hand been.

Using his long fingers, Seto pulled Jou's fist from his chest and frowned when he saw the bloodied mess. "You hurt yourself because of me."

Shrugging, Jou turned his face away. "It's no big deal. I've had worse."

"Somehow, hearing that doesn't make me feel much better." Seto muttered, before pulling the first aid kit that Jou had pushed away earlier towards himself. Uncapping a few bottles, he soaked a cotton ball with the liquid before gently applying it to Jou's wounds.

After a few flinches and some quiet hisses, Seto finished cleaning Jou's wound and tied a new, fresh bandage around it. Observing Seto's work quietly, Jou smiled slightly. "Thanks, Seto."

"It was my fault you were hurt in the first place."

Rolling his eyes, Jou punched Seto lightly in the shoulder-with his uninjured hand, of course. "Talk to us, Seto. Both Mokuba and I care about you so much. Let us handle some of the burden, too."

Kissing Jou's forehead, Seto pulled the blond into his chest and held him silently for a few moments. Suddenly, Seto pulled away with a confused look on his face. "I have to ask, however…where on earth did you get "crusty-toed ass master" as an insult?"

Smirking, Jou stuck his tongue out at Seto playfully. "What can I say? I'm Jounouchi Katsuya, the master of comebacks!"
