Seto had a long day filled with loads of stress. Everyone in his company just had to come to him with every one of their small problems. They were paid to fix it themselves not come to him with every little error! He ran a hand through his brown hair. Not only that, it seemed that some fools messed up and crashed the whole system. It took hours just to fix everything! He fired them for their incompetence and now he has to look for people to replace them. 'God this just isn't my day,' Seto thought as he walked out of the building early. Seto couldn't take listening to all of their complaints so he decided to leave early and finish working at home. It was about almost nine o'clock and he was dead tired.

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw a familiar mop of blond hair however when he went to check it out nothing was there. Going a little further in that direction he was surprised when something tackled him. Looking up he saw the familiar mop of blond hair. "Jou?" he questioned surprised.

"The one and only!" Jou answered happily.

"Can you please let me up?" Seto questioned while raising an eyebrow. Jou blushed and got off of Seto stretching out his hand. Seto took it and brushed off the dirt that had gotten on his coat.

"I'm sorry about that," Jou said sheepishly. "When I saw you walking I just wanted to show you my appreciation for the meal, and since I'm broke…well you get my drift."

"It's okay," Seto sighed tiredly.

"Are you okay?" Jou asked worriedly at Seto's expression.

"Yeah, I just had a tiring day at work," Seto replied.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Jou asked curiously eyes getting big as he gave a puppyish look. He tilted his head to the side curiously looking very adorable.

"No it's okay," Seto told him shrugging it off. Jou didn't believe him so he grabbed Seto's wrist and lead him further into the park. "Wha-? Where are we going?" Seto questioned as Jou pulled him. Nothing came out of Jou's mouth as he continued to lead Seto. Music could be heard playing as they came closer to what appeared to be a pavilion. The music was light and airy having a calming feeling to it. Seto relaxed as he listened to the music. Standing there together they let the music flow around them.

"Do you like it?" Jou questioned shyly giving Seto a big smile.

"Yes it's perfect," Seto replied. "How did you know about this concert?"

"I usually come to the park often and one day I heard them playing. It was a few weeks until I realized that they played every Friday night," Jou answered truthfully.

"Well I'm glad you discovered this. I find it relaxing after the day I had," Seto complimented. Jou blushed and quieted down as they continued to listen to the music. Most of the songs seemed to be based off of nature's natural music.

After the concert Seto and Jou decided to just walk around the park together. "Thank you again for taking me to see that small concert," Seto said as they walked.

"Don't worry about it! You treated me to dinner it's only fair that I repay you," Jou said shrugging off the gratitude. "Besides I'm just glad you enjoyed it, you don't need to thank me."

"What's your phone number?" Seto asked suddenly.

"I don't have one…" Jou whispered with his eyes downcast.

"Why?" Seto inquired curiously.

"Because I can't afford one…" Jou replied softly. Seto stared at him shocked. For him it was hard to understand not being able to afford something. Most of his life he had enough money to buy anything. Yes, he worked for the money but it was always there for him.

"What about your last job?" Seto asked trying to help.

"I was fired because I tripped and broke too many dishes," Jou answered avoiding eye contact.

"Where do you live? Have you been evicted yet?" Seto asked hoping Jou at least had a roof over his head.

"Don't worry I do have a place to stay that's really cheap and affordable and I should be able to get another job soon," Jou told him smiling slightly. Seto's worries didn't fade though.

"Can you afford food?" Seto asked.

"Yes, don't worry I eat at least two meals a day," Jou answered. They walked in silence for awhile. Finally Seto pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Jou. It was a piece of paper. Jou became curious and looked to find an address, and phone number.

"That's Kaiba Corp's address so if you need anything don't hesitate to come and find me," Seto explained. Jou smiled at him and tackled him into a hug.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!" Jou exclaimed excitedly.

"You really don't have to thank me," Seto told him blushing as Jou nuzzled his chest.

"But you're being nice to me! Of course I have to thank you!" Jou replied enthusiastically. When Jou looked at Seto's face he noticed he was blushing. "Your face is red are you okay?" Jou asked naively. Putting a hand to Seto's forehead he checked his temperature. "Your forehead is a little hot…" Jou said as he checked.

"Don't worry I'm fine," Seto told him but Jou wasn't convinced.

"Are you sick?" Jou asked looking at him with big eyes.

"No, it's nothing…" Seto replied. "Um…could you get off me, it's hard to get up with you sitting on me." Jou finally realized he was still on top of Seto jumped up.

"Sorry," Jou said rubbing the back of his head.

"Don't worry its okay," Seto assured him. They walked together for awhile before Seto got tired and decided he needed to go home and rest. "See you again sometime?" Seto asked unsurely.

"Yup!" Jou replied waving goodbye. Seto smiled and gave a short wave. He walked home thinking about Jou and how affectionate he was. Walking into his house he couldn't help but feel that it was colder than usual. Shrugging off his coat he hung it up and walked down the empty halls. No one lived with him anymore ever since his brother decided to go to college in the States early. Mokuba wanted to get a business degree so that he could help his brother out with Kaiba Corp. Walking up his stares he glanced over the pictures of Mokuba throughout the years that he had hung up. They still kept in contact but it wasn't like he could see him often. He missed coming home to have Mokuba tackle him in a hug…Letting his thoughts go he got into bed and dreamt of memories of his brother.

The next day wasn't so great, as he hadn't finished any of the work he needed to get done the day before since he had been with Jou. "Great…" he mumbled to himself. Slumping out of bed Seto got ready to face the day by brewing some coffee and making toast. 'I need a vacation…' he thought as he looked over the documents he was supposed to do yesterday. It was for a merger he was considering doing with another company. A ping of the toaster brought him out of his reading for only a few minutes before he resumed.

Somewhere an alarm went out signaling it was time for Seto to go to work. Sighing heavily Seto packed up his briefcase and got into his car. Driving to work was a hassle with all of the traffic, but it was a big city. He always tried to leave before the big morning traffic but no matter what time he got up it always was crowded. Seto was thankful he had finally made it to work when he got out of the car. Stretching his aching muscles he began to walk into the building from the parking lot.

Yip!

Looking for the noise Seto turned around but couldn't see anything.

Yip!

When he looked down he saw a golden retriever puppy with honey colored eyes that was about up to his knee in height. It wagged its tail and jumped on his pant leg. Picking it up, he recalled Jou. They did look similar with their golden colored hair and honey colored eyes and Jou did act like a puppy at times. Petting the puppy's head he smiled softly when it nuzzled his hand. Looking around for a collar he found none. "Who could leave a puppy like you out on the streets?" Seto puzzled looking the dog over. It didn't appear to have any sort of health problems and was extremely affectionate. For some reason Seto just wanted to keep it. 'I did say I needed a break…' Seto thought to himself as he turned back around and went into his car.

Calling up his secretary he told her he would be taking the next couple of days off and if anyone needed him then they could go to hell. For once in his life Seto felt content about leaving work. 'Maybe I can relax before going back…' he thought while driving away. The puppy seemed to agree with him because it nuzzled him again and started yipping happily.
