Last Time:
He heard the grunts of pain and seen the tears of misery but ignored them, the only person the man had had left had just ultimately betrayed him. That was the final straw to Jounouchi(-san), he had lost everything. Everything in this world that he cared for had been ripped away. He didn't understand or fully know what he was doing, but he knew he was tired, beaten.
He couldn't stand to loose the last person he had…he needed him.
Long slim fingers trailed through now darkened to chocolate wet hair, once icy emotionless sapphire eyes now hot and raw with obvious emotion and confusion. He stared unseeingly at the wall directly in front of him, thoughts swirling in his mind and playing with his emotions. He didn't like this, but at the same time it was thrilling, new, refreshing to play a different part a while.
For so long he had played the part as the stoic heartless bastard and now he played the part as the hurt emotional…victim? If that was what he was…
So many things had changed and part of him couldn't help the feeling of relief for that, feeling a bit excited that maybe his life would be more than work. He felt gratitude for the wake up call from Jou, but he was angry, he had been used hadn't he? All to simply get his attention? What was that to tell him?
Jou wanted his attention, he wanted to prove himself?
Why?
-Seto's Flashback-
"Hell no!" Kaiba nearly yelled. His eyes narrowed as he glared heatedly at the other.
Jou stared, large honey pools swimming with confusion and alarm. "Huh?" was the most intelligent thing he could muster at the moment.
The brunet stood and grabbed his disregarded clothes from the ground then stormed over to his limo, that still remained motionless where they had left it, pulling the uniform jacket tighter around him he slipped into the open door. That left the blond to stare after him, curious as to what exactly that was. Though he didn't say anything.
A few minutes passed and nothing else was said or done, Jou simply stared at the limo. That was a, yes, he wanted to go back to before and forget what had happened between them? But hadn't he said 'Hell no!'?
As if to answer the unasked question Seto's head appeared in the limo's open door way, "Mutt, get your ass in here!"
Jou stared, obvious to even Seto, that he was wondering something along the lines of 'What the hell?'. The blonde's eyebrows knit themselves together as he remained motionless for another moment, contemplating his options. "Kaiba…" he ground out, standing.
He received no answer.
"Kaiba!" he snarled and stomped over to the limo.
Again he got no answer, but his eyes found the brunet who had found refuge at the other side of the wide seat, furthest from the open door. His body shook slightly and he now wore pants. His face was directed away from him so the blond couldn't see his expression.
With a soft sigh Katsuya climbed into the limo, he slumped against the soft seat heavily and closed the door himself. Neither bothered to speak for the time being.
Kaiba reached forward and pressed the intercom switch, Katsuya remembered vaguely seeing him do the same earlier, with a short bark "Drive." That left Katsuya to wonder if the driver even knew where they were driving to. Which then lead him to the thought about how Kaiba had had this whole expedition planned out, he had planned on taking him here to where ever the hell it was and fuck him senseless!
Which Katsuya had managed to turn around.
He couldn't help the light smirk that adorned his features at the thought. Shaking those thoughts from his mind and the smug smirk from his lips he glanced over to the brunet. He nearly 'eeped' at the site that greeted him.
Icy sapphire eyes locked securely onto his on warm caramel eyes, he'd probably been watching him for a while now. Watching the different display of emotion flitter across his features. The thought of that really irritated him, Kaiba seeing all his emotions and thoughts clearly displaying themselves on his face.
"Ya know…" the blond finally started, not too sure what he would say just knowing it had to be something for the silence was driving him mad. "It's not really fair for ya ta blame me for all of this…" he stated looking down to the floorboard.
He received no answer.
"After all, ya did da same thing…"
Again he got no answer from the other teen, so his eyes found the cold sapphire orbs still watching him silently. "Kaiba…" he hesitated, what was it that was next? "What…" he just left it off after that for a bit.
Waiting for some indication from the older teen, rather he was listening or preparing to speak. Nothing followed though.
"What do ya expect?"
No answer.
"I did have my reasons…"
The brunet remained silent still.
"Even if it was wrong," he didn't bother waiting for a reply this time. "an ya don't get it. I did have my reasons for all of 'is and though…" he paused concentrating on what he was saying. "I am sorry if I hurt ya, or if…ya know wounded yer pride or whatever."
The older male still made no indication he had heard the other, apology or not.
"Will ya talk ta me?" Katsuya asked, his voice rose a bit.
Seto hadn't looked away since before Jou had noticed the eerie sapphire gaze , he still held the same cold emotionless unwavering expression. He still refused to answer Katsuya as well. He simply sat there staring.
"I don' even know why I did tat anymore…" he gave a sigh of exhaustion.
"I'm not sorry for what I did, just tat it screwed so many things up…" he was at this point looking out the window at the trees and bushes that were pushed from view as the limo was in the process of pulling away from the park that they had been in. "It wasn't all about sex." he muttered, not intending for audience of any kind to ever hear those words.
"What about my feelings for…" he cut himself off, feeling that he had better shut up or chance that Kaiba hear his semi-confession.
Jou glanced at him as if to make sure he wasn't heard. Feeling slightly relieved and shocked at once when finally taking in the site of the older teen, head gently lent onto the window next to him. He almost looked like he was sleeping.
He wasn't.
"That place was special to me, don't go back there. Ever." Kaiba muttered in a not so Kaiba-like-fashion though his voice still remained distant and cold.
"What ever." Katsuya replied back just as cold.
From that point on the ride to their homes, Jou's in a neighborhood that Kaiba if he weren't in the state he was in would have made many snide remarks on and refuse to enter without ten plus hired body guards and his lawyer and Kaiba's huge completely opposite of Jou's run down apartment mansion that of course was in the best of neighborhoods but laid miles from anyone due to the miles of owned Kaiba land that surrounded his home, was a uneventful quiet one. They were both silently thankful as well as regretful for the chances and words they ignored.
Though Jou had tried.
-End Seto's Flashback-
The words Jou had used then, 'It wasn't all about sex', and at the end of his monologue 'What about my feelings for…' still rang loud in Seto's mind. Reminding him repeatedly of the ride to Katsuya's home then to his own. He had wanted to talk, had tried, but Seto had shot down every one of his attempts ignoring him completely. Or so Jou thought, since he had actually been listening very carefully. He had heard and listened, remembering it in detail, everything he had said.
Though Seto hadn't responded to him then.
He had probably screwed up there himself. It wouldn't have hurt him too much to answer the boy, would it have?
Jou had went out on a limb and tried to salvage whatever was left, just to simply be shot back down by Kaiba himself. The blond wanted to amend his mistake but Kaiba refused to let him.
What was left now?
Since everything that had happened, what were they to do?
No one could expect him to really just go back to the way things were before, not so simply, even if he was Kaiba. Even if he was supposed to be stoic and uncaring, if everyone thought he didn't care for anything and that such a simple act would leave him unaffected in the least. Even if everyone though he was unbreakable, unable to be hurt or feel pain, even if the current believe was that Kaiba Seto truly had no heart - was truly a robot of sorts and would not bleed when cut, would not bruise when hit, would not cry when hurt emotionally, and wouldn't break when stretched beyond his limits.
Truth was Kaiba Seto was human.
He would bleed if he was cut, he would bruise if hit, he would cry if hurt emotionally, and would break if stretched beyond his limits.
He had proven that and so much more to Jou, but still he hadn't wanted that, not the pain. He didn't want Jou to know he was in fact human and even worst witness his tears and break down. But fact was Jou had seen them and worst yet he had caused them, that couldn't be changed now though and he didn't plan to dwell on those thoughts for long.
His hand combed through his darkened chocolate hair then slid down his face, his eyes closed lightly as he titled his head back so the steamy water could fully shower his face with. Pale crimson lips curled down into a frown as he remembered how it had felt when he had been with his disobedient puppy. So good. His eyelids fluttered slightly before relaxing into the hum of the hot water that showered down on them, his dark nearly black lashes caressing into the curve of his crimson dusted cheeks. His usually scowling knitted brows now void of tension as the steaming hot water did it's job and washed away some of his worries, if only for the moment, and relaxed him.
He released a heavy breath and ran his fingers over his neck gently touching his red heated skin with light feather like touches. His hands trailed down his shoulders, caressing the curves of his body. He remembered the touches of Jou, not nearly as gentle, but he longed for that now…
No, that wasn't right, he didn't feel like that toward that stupid Mutt!
"Hmm, then your demanding it then? or rather..." he stated also not missing a beat.
Jounouchi tripped, figuratively, taking the necessary time to understand what exactly that meant. It didn't take him long, "Hell no!! Kuso...I meant..er..I..um.." Kuso-kuso-kuso-kuso!! He didn't know what to say to that, he was thinking so hard on it his head hurt now. That was it, this wasn't working.
Time to go back and rely on gut instinct, "Why d'a hell wou' I wan' ta?!"
The blonde's face started heating up as the next words sprouted out of his mouth on their own, "Ya know-ya need a good fuck!! Kaiba, maybe then ya won't be such an ass all d'a time!! Seriously man, get laid..."
Silence fallowed those words. Yugi stood staring, open mouthed at his blond friend. Anzu, stared as well, her jaw slacked at the words her friend had nearly yelled. Honda gaped, though he was the quickest to recover, smirking at Jou's use of vulgar words. The blond, that was so well known as a total moron, was deserving of a pat on the back. Honda saw this, he'd put Kaiba into a corner, with no escape. Jounouchi had finally done it.
"Perhaps..." was the blue eyed dragon, known as Kaiba Seto's, only answer. Coming so quiet few, if anyone heard. A smirk then graced his features, that wasn't the end of that. Oh not by a long shot.
Kaiba hadn't always secretly loved Jou or anything of that sort, not like in those cheesy romances anyways. No he had never held such affection for him, though admittedly he did find him amusing at times. He liked to piss him of and see how he would react to his insults and put downs. He always reacted so well where as most others would simply cower in fear of the great CEO of Kaiba Corp. and even resort to ass kissing.
So boring.
Jou was different, but that didn't mean Kaiba was in love with him or anything of the sort. Hell, he wasn't even fond of the idiot!
But since they had sex…
Seto's hands trailed further down, caressing his chest gently, gliding over the soft reddened skin in a sensual gesture that would leave most any man bloody nosed and with a serious hard on and any woman simply passed out. But his mind wasn't on his own body at the moment…
"Pup, Jounouchi…"
Pain, it was something he knew very well. It's what he felt so often, almost none stopping. Something he had came to not understand but just tolerate. Though he hated it he knew it was endless.
Heavy eyelids fluttered open to reveal dark caramel orbs blurred by pain and many other emotions. They stared into no exact direction, simply staring ahead of him. If he were alert enough he would of by now noticed that his sight wasn't simply obscured by pain and the fog of just becoming conscious once more but was slowly fading away. Had he been fully awake he would have noticed his body refused to obey any simple commands like 'move', 'stand', 'get up', 'do something'. If he had been fully aware of his surroundings he would have noticed his body's horrible condition, blood flowed heavily from open untreated wounds that now cascaded his body and bruises the size of a man's hand.
His consciousness was wavering but he could clearly feel the pains and neglected cries of his beaten body.
He had survived?
Again?
Was that fair, to leave him with the small shreds' of life he had left? Leave him cold, alone and so filled with pain?
Apparently fair didn't matter.
His eyelids fluttered closed once more, tears gathering and sliding from the closed eyes. Mixing with the blood that continued to increase in volume on the floor beneath him.
He was too tired for this now…
"Whatever! I don't really care anymore we just gotta help Jounouchi, I don't care how! Just help him! Damn it!" Honda sighed growing pissed, they had been sitting there in Kaiba's home for far to long just talking! They needed to shut up and do something, before it was too late and nothing could be done.
He was getting a bad feeling, the type that someone in a cheesy movie would often get when something bad was either happening or about to. When the main plot was starting in some horror flicks.
He didn't like those thoughts and wanted to get a move on.
Problem was that they didn't know what to do, they couldn't leave things but yet their meddling was sure to back fire if they weren't careful.
Damn Kaiba!
"I know, Honda-kun but…" Yugi started but he was clueless how to continue that thought.
"We're not getting anywhere just sitting here! We're wasting time, it's been too long." he fought the urge to pout, and the strange urge to see Otogi accompanied that. He wasn't sure why though. But maybe it would have been wise to include him on this meeting? He was devious enough for it.
"It hasn't even been thirty minutes!" Anzu hissed, irritated as well.
"Hm, that isn't really true…" Ryou muttered softly looking at the clock.
More like an hour.
Mokuba offered the group's argument a sigh and looked over to the stairs, they weren't getting anywhere.
"Damn it, it's Kaiba's fault so lets just go beat him till he apologizes! Ne?!" Honda growled.
"For the last time-" Anzu started but was cut of by a sudden silence that fell over the room as all eyes fell onto the current subject of the argument. As if on queue, Seto entered the room from the stairs Mokuba had watching half expecting to see his older brother descending them to tell the group to 'shut the hell up'. But upon actually seeing his brother descend them he nearly screamed in shock.
Freaky?
In an overly cliché moment everyone held their breath, shocked to see Kaiba Seto standing at the foot of the stairs simply glaring back at them. No one moved.
"Niisama…"(Older brother) Mokuba whispered, his eyes wide. He wasn't too sure how to address the situation.
"Don't let them wreak the place, bed by ten, I'll be back in a bit…" was the harshly toned answer and with that Seto left.
"But Seto…" Mokuba nearly whined, "It's not even a school night!" he finished more quietly.
TBC…
