I DON'T OWN Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did there would be more Puppyshipping
Warnings: shounen-ai, swearing, slight OOCness
The blond boy stood up and looked around at his setting. He had been surprised when Seto had decided to take him home and keep him as a pet, but he wasn't going to complain. Going around the mansion he continued to explore his new environment more thoroughly. Finding a cleaning closet the boy got a sudden idea and smiled.
As he passed by a mirror you could faintly see his tan skin and honey eyes in the dim light. He smiled to himself and whispered, "Well Jou looks like you have some work to do." Grabbing the cleaning supplies he went to the bathroom where Seto had given him a bath. Trying to hide the blush at the memory he began scrubbing out the tub, toilet, sink, and mopped the floor. When he was done it was so clean it looked brand new. Proud of his work he decided to clean the kitchen and any other rooms he came upon.
The house was at least decent when he got there but it was obvious Seto lived alone and only used a few rooms to reduce creating a mess. Spraying the counters and appliances Jou waited for it to settle in a little before scrubbing them all down. This took longer than the bathroom since it was bigger and had many more crevices than the bathroom. Eventually it was clean though and he moved to do all of the first floor.
Hoping to be there for awhile he decided to do the second floor tomorrow and the third floor after that. Jou could only do so much before the sun rose and he would be a puppy again, that and he did need to sleep. After finishing the last room that he planned to do that night he looked at a nearby clock. It was coming close to dawn and his eyes widened in surprise. Running all the way back to the cleaning closet he quickly shoved everything in and went to the couch to go to bed for a few hours. It didn't take him long to fall asleep and if you listened you would have heard another POP! as he changed back into a puppy.
In Seto's room he was just waking up as the sun hit his face through the slit in the curtains. Groaning lightly he turned over and got up and went to take a shower. Even if he was on vacation his body just couldn't seem to sleep in. Then again it could have something to do with the dream he had…Seto had been walking through a maze of mirrors when all of a sudden something pulled on his hand. Looking over he noticed it was Jou (human) pulling his arm excitedly. "Come on before we're late!" Jou exclaimed excitedly.
"Late for what?" he asked confused.
"You'll see just come on!" Jou said pulling harder. They continued to run down the maze of mirrors until a light blinded Seto. Putting a hand over his eyes he was surprised to feel himself falling. Opening his eyes he found Jou smiling at him reassuringly and he felt himself hit something soft and fluffy. Looking down he saw marshmallows. Before he could question why there were marshmallows Jou was pulling him again. The sky turned magenta as they continued and the grass was dark blue and for some reason musical notes were floating by. Soon after he saw the musical notes he could hear the same airy music from the park Jou and him had visited a few days ago.
"It's beautiful," he found himself saying.
"Not as beautiful as you," Jou whispered nuzzling his chest. Seto blushed as Jou leaned up and kissed his lips softly…and that's about when he woke up unhappy. Taking a lukewarm shower Seto couldn't help but think that was one of his weirdest dreams yet. He did understand why he had the dream…because he already knew he was attracted to Jou, but everything else just didn't make sense. Of course he couldn't be sure if Jou even thought about him like that or not but he hoped so…Turning off the shower he dried off and went to look for the puppy 'Jou'.
He found 'Jou' on the couch sleeping peacefully probably dreaming of whatever dogs' dream of. Going into the kitchen Seto was surprised to find it completely cleaned up. It was professionally done cleaning and he knew he hadn't hired any maids to come clean his house. Now that he thought about it the living room had been clean also…Going around he found the whole first floor to be completely cleaned up. Nothing had been taken which confused Seto. 'Someone must have broken in and cleaned my house…But who? And why?' he thought looking around. Checking all the locks in his house he didn't find a single marking to indicate someone breaking in. 'Either they are really good or I don't know what…' Seto thought to himself.
Around this time 'Jou' woke up and was running all over looking for him. "Did you see anyone come into the house yesterday?" Seto asked ruffling his fur. 'Jou' shook his head and ran for the kitchen. Seto followed soon after since he was slightly hungry to because he had skipped dinner. Today Seto gave 'Jou' the dog food which the puppy begrudgingly ate preferring the lunch meat.
"Now what should we do today?" Seto wondered aloud. The puppy heard this and quickly scarped down his food. When he was done he ran into the living room. Right behind him Seto followed curiously at what had gotten into his puppy.
'Jou' picked up a flyer that he had found while cleaning about a local dog fair and another about tubing. Seto reached down and grabbed the two fliers from his mouth. "We could do both since you can go tubing at any time and the local dog fair ends at five o'clock…" Seto muttered aloud. 'Jou' barked happily and spun around in a circle. Reaching down Seto patted his head smiling. Looking at his watch he noticed it was about eight o'clock. "We have some time to kill so how about we rest a little before going?" Seto asked looking at 'Jou' who barked in agreement. Picking up a book Seto sat on the couch with 'Jou' on his lap. Both were comfortable and nearly fell asleep but Seto was watching the time and around noon he woke 'Jou' up. The puppy blinked its eyes open and lazily got up off of Seto. Grabbing one of his lighter jackets Seto left with 'Jou' trailing right behind him.
First they went to the dog fair which was a town over. You could find dogs off all sorts and sizes but you could tell some of them weren't happy to be dressed up the way they were. They had a few contests but mostly it was the really snobby pure bred owners. Other than the contests they had fun activities you could enjoy with your dog. 'Jou' looked around wanting to do either the fetch contest or trick contest. Seto raised an eyebrow but entered him in the tricks contest since he didn't exactly want to throw a Frisbee around. 'Jou' bounced up and down excitedly, since this was most likely his first dog fair. When it was their turn 'Jou' ran to the stage waiting for Seto to follow. Reluctantly Seto followed since normally this wasn't his sort of thing but he couldn't say no to his brother's puppy eyes nor this puppy's eyes.
They started out doing simple tricks like sit and lie down but as the contest progressed so did the tricks. Seto hadn't even known if the dog would listen to him since he wasn't sure if 'Jou' was trained but he listened to everything Seto said. Even when they started to get to the harder commands (for dogs) like play dead, or balance something on their nose 'Jou' listened. While Seto had never owned a dog before he was sure normally dogs wouldn't be able to do that. In the end Jou won first for the tricks contest leaving many owners unhappy since they had trained their dogs hard for a long time just for the contest.
It was getting late in the day since when they won the contest 'Jou' could get free dog items at a local pet store. Not wanting to just come again on a different day 'Jou' and him decided to just shop around now. They got some more chew toys and a few dog treats that looked like real food. Seto decided they should skip tubing and it wasn't like he was all that excited about doing it anyway. When they got home it was around eight and the sun would be setting in about an hour.
Seto set 'Jou' in the study so he could check his emails that weren't related to Kaiba Corp. Mokuba had left a message earlier so he checked it. Basically it just told him about what Mokuba had been up to and how he missed Seto. Smiling slightly Seto told him how he decided to take a short vacation that the stress was getting to him and about how he found a puppy. He thought about telling him about Jou the boy he had met in the park but decided not to. Sending the message he leaned back into his seat. It was strange that he hadn't seen 'Jou' for awhile since usually the puppy was right by his side.
When he found 'Jou' he was by the cleaning closet. As he was about to call out to his puppy he heard a loud POP! noise and instead of the playful puppy he found a human boy. When the smoke cleared around him he saw that it was Jou. Jou looked at him and said, "Hi Seto!" before realizing his situation. Seto stared at him shocked then passed out.
TBC!
