Chapter 07: Feeling It Out

When Mokuba entered the Mutou's living room with Kaiba in tow, Yami's heart immediately began to race. It had been three days since their date and Yami hadn't been able to quit thinking about it since. Still, he did his best to seem unaffected as he casually greeted them both.

As Mokuba sat down and jumped right into the conversation between the rest of the Yuugi-tachi, Kaiba remained standing as he addressed Yami, "May I have a word with you in private?"

"Sure," Yami consented, doing his best to ignore his friends' reactions. Debating whether to go outside or up to his room, Yami settled for the true privacy of his room.

When Kaiba shut the door behind him, Yami swallowed hard as nervousness his him full force. "You wanted to talk?' Yami asked as he faced Kaiba.

"I came to listen," Kaiba corrected him as he approached Yami and invaded his personal space.

"Who did you get your experience from?" Yami blurted out, the question that had been bothering him since the beginning. "It's not fair that you know who I've been with and I know nothing about your past."

"Fair enough," Kaiba conceded. "I dabbled with a senior vice president at a microchip company that we use."

It took a moment for the information to process before Yami could ask, "Were you serious with him?"

"It was an arrangement of convenience to keep me occupied while you were otherwise engaged," Kaiba explained.

"So you're saying it's my fault you had to date someone else?" Yami demanded, not liking the accusation. Something inside of him burned at the idea of Kaiba being with some unknown businessman and it felt a lot like jealousy, but that couldn't be right. There was no real reason for Yami to feel that way.

"No, I am merely saying that I had to content myself with other options because you were unavailable," Kaiba denied. "There's no blame there."

Although part of him thought it was a bad idea, Yami asked, "What was his name?"

"Nakamuro Genjiro," Kaiba informed him. "Planning on looking him up?"

Turning his nose up at the idea, Yami icily denied, "No."

Narrowing the distance between them, Kaiba murmured, "You just want to know the name I used to moan while thinking about being with you?"

Yami's overactive imagination supplied him with an image that was vivid enough to make him blush. "That's…" Yami tried to say, but the words wouldn't come to him.

Reaching out and caressing Yami's cheek, Kaiba softly reassured him, "He meant nothing."

"Isn't that sad?" Yami asked, even as he leaned into the touch.

"No more so than what you had with Otogi," Kaiba replied with a shrug. "It was never supposed to be anything."

It felt hypocritical to be upset about Kaiba doing the same thing as him, but it still didn't sit well with Yami. "Why did you break up?" Yami wanted to know.

"He was forced into an arranged engagement by family," Kaiba answered. "I wasn't willing to continue once a fiancé was involved."

"Oh," was all Yami could think of to say. "Do you still see him?"

"Only on a professional level," Kaiba stated. "You have nothing to fear from him. You're all that I have ever wanted."

The sincere way Kaiba was looking at him made part of Yami melt a little and he struggled to stay in control of the situation. "What if this doesn't work out?" Yami questioned.

"As if I would let you go so easily," Kaiba scoffed before kissing Yami gently, almost teasingly. It drew Yami into it against his better judgment and he braced one hand against Kaiba's chest to balance himself. It encouraged Kaiba and he delved deeper to explore the warmth of Yami's willing mouth. It left Yami breathless when they parted. "What do I have to do to convince you that I'm serious about you?"

"I know you're serious," Yami stated, having no doubts about that. "I'm just…worried."

"About what?" Kaiba wanted to know so he could lay those fears to rest.

"If it all goes wrong, what then?" Yami started. "You like me more seriously than I do you and—"

"It won't go wrong," Kaiba said with firm conviction. "And the feelings will eventually even out as we date. I don't expect our feelings to be at the level at this point."

"Isn't that unfair to you?" Yami questioned.

"I am willing to wait," Kaiba told Yami before kissing him again.

Forcing himself to quietly admit, "I mean, I like you. But I'm not in love with you or anything."

"Yet," Kaiba added with a smirk. "Give it time."

"Okay," Yami hesitantly agreed, watching with fascination as Kaiba's expression brightened considerably.

"Are you saying…?" Kaiba asked with the slightest hint of hope in his voice.

Shyly looking up at Kaiba, Yami confirmed, "Yes, I will…accept your advances, as you said."

Kaiba kissed Yami with the full force of his feelings and it was overwhelming for the former pharaoh. Although there was a lingering sense of nervousness, Yami gave himself over to Kaiba's passions, entwining his fingers in brunette hair to ground himself.

Kaiba moved on to Yami's neck, lavishing attention on it. It felt far too good for the simple sensation that it was, but Yami felt hypersensitive as Kaiba's fingers slipped under his shirt and caressed his skin. He was starting to become aroused and it made Yami protest, "Wait, we can't—we're not having sex."

"Who said anything about sex?" Kaiba retorted with a rude snort. "My brother is downstairs."

"Then what are you doing?" Yami hissed as he tried and failed to stop Kaiba from undoing the button on his jeans.

"It doesn't mean we can't do other things," Kaiba said with a wicked grin as he dropped to his knees, causing Yami to grow fully hard.

When Kaiba pulled down his pants and briefs, Yami softly exclaimed, "But my friends are downstairs! And your brother!"

Looking up at Yami with a devastatingly sexy look, Kaiba murmured, "Then I suggest you stay quiet," before taking the erect member into his mouth.

It caused Yami to gasp, "Kaiba," as he grabbed hold of the brunette's should to steady himself.

The sound of his name said in such a way made Kaiba moan softly and Yami shuddered in response. "Kaiba, we can't," Yami protested before he was too far along to want to.

Kaiba responded by swallowing around the member in his mouth and Yami made an interesting noise in response. Kaiba continued enthusiastically working Yami's length, caressing it with his tongue while he moved his head. Yami's protests were quickly forgotten as Kaiba expertly went down on him, making him feel weak in the knees. Yami had to remind himself not to thrust into that wet warmth that was driving him wild. It had just been so long since he had experienced such a thing and he softly keened in pleasure as he neared his climax. "So good," Yami moaned, "so damn good!"

Unable to say anything in response, Kaiba stepped up his efforts as he lightly started to tease Yami's entrance with his finger. It caused Yami to make a needy noise as he ached with a need to be filled by Kaiba, but too soon the finger was moved away. It made Yami sigh, "Kaiba," again with a lust filled tone and it made Kaiba want to do so much more than they were allowed to do at the moment.

Yami knew he couldn't hold out much longer and he tried to warn Kaiba, but it didn't dissuade him from finishing properly. He wanted to make Yami cum and Kaiba teased the head of the cock in his mouth with his tongue. It caused Yami to cum and his whole body reacted to the feeling as the climax crashed over him. He shivered when Kaiba swallowed his released and wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb when he pulled back and freed the spent member. Kaiba looked smug, but Yami couldn't reprimand him after that experience.

"What about you?" Yami asked as he pulled up his pants and briefs and adjusted himself.

Even though it displeased him, Kaiba pointed out, "If we stay up here any longer, they'll become suspicious."

"Like you walking down there with a hard on won't be suspicious?" Yami scoffed.

Smirking at that, Kaiba said, "I'm more than well-versed in hiding it, thanks."

Yami started to protest again, but he knew that Kaiba had a point. If they took much longer, either Jounouchi or Mokuba would come upstairs looking for them. Still, he just didn't feel right about finding release while Kaiba suffered.

Standing up and pressing a gentle kiss on the soft skin by his ear, Kaiba murmured, "You can make it up to me later if you want."

The sound of Kaiba's voice so close to his ear made Yami shiver with want and he bit back a moan when the brunette nipped at his ear. "When?" Yami asked, a hint of need in his voice.

Kissing his way down Yami's neck, Kaiba said in between kisses, "Whenever you want."

"Aren't you a busy CEO with lots of important stuff to do?" Yami questioned as he tilted his head with a sigh. "I would think it's whenever you have a free moment."

"I will always find a way to make time for you," Kaiba promised, knowing that if he could do it for Mokuba, he could for Yami.

It surprised Yami to hear and he had to stop Kaiba from continuing further. "That means a lot coming from you," Yami commented, touched by the sentiment. "But we seriously need to go downstairs."

"Before you lose all will to resist me?" Kaiba teased.

"Very funny," Yami sarcastically shot back, although it was closer to the truth that he wanted to admit.

Chuckling to himself, Kaiba allowed Yami to lead them out of the bedroom and back downstairs to where the friends were waiting their return, although he took a moment on the stairs to readjust him to be presentable.

"Kaiba-kun, would you like to join us for dinner?" Yuugi offered as they each took a separate seat.

Kaiba shocked them all when he agreed, "Yes, actually. I have something I've been meaning to discuss with you."

"You do?" Yuugi asked uncertainly, wondering if it was related to wanting to date Yami.

"Ooh, you're in trouble now," Jounouchi playfully joked with a laugh.

"It involves you, too," Kaiba told Jounouchi with a smirk.

"I think the world may be coming to an end," Jounouchi said, laughing again. "You actually want to talk to me? An honest to god conversation? I think I might actually die of shock. Honda, even after I'm dead, you still can't date my sister!"

Everyone laughed at Jounouchi's antics and Kaiba responded, "You can die after I'm done with you."

"Nice to know everything is back to normal," Jounouchi said with a wink in Kaiba's direction. "You had me worried there for a moment that you had become a decent human being."

Anzu started to reprimand Jounouchi, but all Kaiba responded with was a, "Hn," since he wasn't the least bit bothered by such comments. Normally he would have lobbed at least one more insult at Jounouchi, but Kaiba needed him to agree to cooperate with his plan. Besides, he was in too good of a mood to be bothered by such things. The only thing that mattered at the moment was Yami and Kaiba had all that he wanted.

A/N: I really like this Jounouchi and I kind of wish he had popped up in a different story where we saw more of him. Banter is fun~.

NEXT CHAPTER:

"I figured you and Kaiba-kun would want your privacy," Yuugi teased, causing Yami to blush.

The next and final chapter will be posted on Sunday, December 21st, which is hard to believe that it's already ending. In some ways I feel like I just started this. Thank you so much for your continued support!
