When Jou didn't respond to Seto's kiss he pulled away disappointed. Jou stood up as Seto tried to get up. Seto went to go to his room when a hand on his sleeve stopped him. He turned around to face a blushing Jou who couldn't seem to form a sentence. Seto was about to leave when Jou hadn't said anything but finally Jou managed to say, "You just kissed me!" Seto rolled his eyes.

"Yes…" Seto mumbled.

"But why?" Jou asked confused.

"Because I think you're cute, okay?" Seto said getting irritated.

"That was my first kiss…" Jou whispered blushing. Seto looked back at Jou to see if he heard right. He had just taken Jou's first kiss?

"You mean you've never in your whole life kissed someone before?" Seto asked shocked. Jou's blush darkened.

"No…" he whispered his reply. "Do you want me to leave now?" Jou asked when Seto sat back down on the couch with his head in his hands.

"Why would I want you to leave?" Seto asked looking up slightly.

"Because I upset you…You must be mad at me…" Jou replied looking like a kicked puppy.

"It's not like that," Seto assured him. Jou's head perked up and he looked at Seto. "Well you never really kissed back so I figured you don't like me. Which is okay…" Seto elaborated looking sad. Tilting his head in confusion Jou stated, "I like you." Seto blushed.

"There's a difference between liking someone and really liking someone," Seto explained. Jou tilted his head to the side again. "You haven't had that much experience with people, have you?" Seto asked. Jou shook his head no. Sighing lightly Seto explained, "When you really like someone you feel happy near them, and want to protect them, and do anything for them."

"I'm happy when I'm with you," Jou stated easily. Seto was pretty sure he didn't get it.

"Do you really understand?" Seto asked.

"What's not to get?" Jou asked pouting. Blushing he said, "Besides I liked when you kissed me…" that made Seto whip his head to face Jou. Before Seto could ask or say anything Jou pressed his lips to Seto's in a sweet chaste kiss.

"Then why did you not kiss me back?" Seto asked curious as he fought off a blush. Jou got embarrassed and whispered something but Seto couldn't hear. "I didn't catch that could you say it again?" he asked.

"I didn't know what to do," Jou said louder this time blushing. Seto blinked but then again he realized that was Jou's first kiss…They sat there in an awkward silence. Finally Jou got up and snuggled with Seto. "Is this okay?" Jou asked resting his head on Seto's chest.

"More than okay," Seto replied. It took awhile but Seto taught Jou more about being with humans and how to act.

This had all happened a few months ago and Jou was waiting for Seto to get home from work like usual. Mokuba had been informed and was glad that his niisama had finally found someone. Seto blushed embarrassed at that comment. However it wasn't all good. After Seto took a week off he had loads of work to catch up and Jou was left worrying at home about him. He still was a puppy during the day which didn't give him much to do. When he heard the click of the door he perked up and went running to the door. Seto stood in the hallway taking off his coat and shoes. Jou smiled happily and jumped on Seto knocking both of them down and giving him a kiss hello. "Well isn't someone happy to see me," Seto remarked smiling. This was how they always greeted each other when one of them was gone.

"Of course I missed you!" Jou replied smiling. If he was in his puppy form you would have been able to see his tail wagging rapidly. "I was getting bored waiting for you to get home…"

"I know you were but I have work…" Seto told him.

"And I understand that but I wish there was just something I could do during the day…" Jou said.

"Do you want to come with me to the office tomorrow?" Seto inquired. Jou sat up now only straddling Seto instead of being fully on top of him.

"Really? Can I?" Jou asked overjoyed.

"Yes," Seto told him.

"But I'll be a puppy…" Jou pouted.

"So? It's my company if they have a problem with it I can always fire them," Seto stated.

"I don't want anyone fired because I come!" Jou exclaimed wide eyed.

"Look I was kidding, okay?" Seto assured him but in his mind he thought, 'but I could…' Jou calmed down when he heard that. Getting off of Seto he pulled him to the kitchen. "You made dinner for us again didn't you?" Seto replied as Jou tugged him toward the kitchen.

"Of course! I wanted to eat with you and I've waited all night just for you to come home," Jou replied smiling. Seto felt guilty for making Jou wait so long but work had been hectic lately, but he was especially guilty since Jou was always there waiting for him. Jou had so many puppy like qualities it wasn't funny. He was loyal, friendly, affectionate, and liked him despite the fact he was always letting him down. When they reached the kitchen an assortment of cupcakes were on the table right next to a prime rib eye steak, baked potatoes, and steamed carrots. It was one of Seto's favorite meals. Looking at it he wondered what was so special about today since he had no idea.

"What's the occasion?" Seto asked confused.

"Don't tell me you don't know what day it is?!" Jou asked shocked. That got Seto worried. 'Did I forget something like an anniversary? But their one year anniversary would be on March 23… (National Puppy Day ^-~)Then what could it be? What day was it…?' Seto wondered.

"October 24th?" Seto said unsurely. Jou hit his forehead.

"No! It's the 25th!" Jou exclaimed and then sighed. 'Oh it's the 25th. Wait…' Seto thought.

"You mean this is for my birthday?" he questioned.

"Mokuba told me that today was your birthday so I thought I would do something special," Jou informed him.

"You didn't have to," Seto told him.

"But I wanted to! This is my first time celebrating your birthday and I wanted to make it special!" Jou exclaimed.

"Thanks," Seto said giving him a smile. Seto ate dinner savoring the taste because even if it wasn't top quality Jou had spent who knows how long making it just for him. When he was done with his plate Jou left the room and came back holding some candles and matches. Setting one candle in each cup cake Jou got the matches prepared Jou nearly burned his fingers as he lit the candles.

"Make a wish!" Jou exclaimed as he lit the last candle. Mokuba had told him about birthdays and how they were normally celebrated. Seto raised an eyebrow at such a childish thing but since it was Jou who asked he complied. Blowing out all the candles on the cupcakes Seto wished for one thing and when Jou asked what he wished for he replied, "If I told you then it wouldn't come true." Jou pouted cutely.

"Aww but I really want to know!" Jou whined. Seto smirked and pulled Jou closer to him.

"I'll tell you if it comes true," Seto promised.

"But then it could be days, months, or years until it comes true and you could forget!" Jou pouted.

"Trust me this is a wish I'll never forget," Seto guaranteed.

"If you say so…" Jou said still pouting. After that they ate the cupcakes leaving a couple for a quick morning snack. Just when Seto had finished the last cupcake Jou handed him a card. He raised an eyebrow but read it anyways. It said: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! This is my first time actually wishing someone a happy birthday…Anyways I hope today is special for you and you enjoy the present I give you! Love, Jou

"Birthday gift?" Seto questioned after he read the card. 'Dinner and the card had been enough…' he thought to himself. Jou nodded and handed him a CD. Seto looked at the CD and realized it was a burned disk with all of his favorite songs.

"Mokuba helped me make it," Jou explained.

"Thanks I love it," Seto told him setting it down carefully. Jou smiled and hugged him before cleaning up the kitchen. When Seto tried to help Jou shooed him away telling him he was the birthday boy and shouldn't be helping him. Finally it got late and both were getting tired.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Jou asked as they headed up the stairs. Seto blushed and when Jou saw his face he quickly corrected himself, "I didn't mean like that! I mean…Could I maybe just go to bed snuggled up to you?"

"I don't mind," Seto replied. Jou jumped for joy and raced to his room to grab his pajamas. When he reached Seto's room Seto had just started to put his shirt on. Jou stared at Seto's stomach until it was concealed underneath Seto's silky blue pajama shirt. Seto stared at him and raised an eyebrow. "Like what you see?" he teased causing Jou to blush.

"Yes…" He answered truthfully. "But I'm not ready for that sort of thing…"

"I know and I understand I was just teasing," Seto told him. Jou playfully hit him as they crawled into bed. As soon as Seto got comfortable Jou snuggled up to his side and wrapped an arm around Seto's stomach leaning his head on Seto's chest. "Comfortable?" Seto questioned as Jou finally stopped adjusting.

"I'm always comfortable when I snuggle up to you," Jou replied. Seto smiled. Both drifted into sleep happily curled up together.
