Jou walked through the crowded lunchroom to join his friends at their usual table. Yugi and Ryou were conversing animatedly about the latest duel monster cards; Honda and Otogi were making plans for the weekend that didn�t include any of the others. Not that any of them minded since they were all going to be busy with similar plans of their own. All except Jou of course. Ever since Honda finally had the nerve to tell Otogi how he felt, Jou had been at loose ends. Yami and Yugi had been together for ages but Ryou and Bakura had only recently become more intimate, so they were as wrapped up in their own little world as much as the two little minks at the end of the table.

Jou sat down at the table to find out that he was pretty much on his own for the coming weekend. Yami and Yugi were available to hang out Saturday evening but tonight was out, as was during the day Saturday and Sunday, well that was just too far away to plan for. Honda and Otogi were not planning on leaving the bedroom at all during the weekend. Their relationship was so new that they were forgiven for completely ignoring their friends. Or almost forgiven, Jou was happy for Honda, but he was a bit miffed with his friend for totally forgetting the plans that they had made weeks ago for tonight. He wouldn�t be so offended if Honda had mentioned the plans, and asked Jou if he would mind if they cancelled. But he hadn�t, he just made plans with Otogi and left Jou hanging. Jou was hurt and he wondered if he should say something to Honda, or just let it slide.

�So Jou, what are you doing this weekend� Yugi asked him.

�Oh I don�t know, there�s a special 10 year anniversary showing of Pulp Fiction [1], at the Town, tonight ...�

�Oh fuck, man, I totally forgot... jeez, you must think I�m a total asshole.� Honda cried.

�Nah, just semi, or, is that uke� Jou said with a grin, his friend completely forgiven now.

Honda turned crimson at that remark, and playfully attacked Jou. The two were having a friendly scuffle, when; Seto Kaiba came and sat down at the table. Lately he had begun to socialize a bit more with Yugi and fri friends. Not much but he would eat lunch with them, and very occasionally he would go out in the evening with them. This night was one of the ones he wanted to go out. Mokuba was going to be at friend�s overnight and he had no pressing matters at the office.

Seto asked Otogi if he was not worried about his little pet getting dog slobber all over himself, the way he was carrying on with the puppy. This just warranted him a growl from said puppy, but it also achieved his desired effect, which was to have Jou�s attention on him, and not on Honda. Yes, yes, our dear Seto has crush on Jou, has for some time now, which is the main reason that he started to hang out with these guys. Not that he was prepared to say anything to Jou, having been so mean to him in the past, he doubted the blonde would ever reciprocate his feelings. So he contented himself with being friendly and teasing him whenever he got the chance. This teasing though was friendlier, and Jou�s reaction to it was less violent, he seemed to understand that Kaiba really didn�t mean anything by it.

�Oh bite me Kaiba� //Please// Oh what is this?

�Not the one who�s a dog here� Would love to, starting at your delectable little ear, and then work my way down

�So I should bite you, is that what you want� Jou teased, then blushed five shades of red, when he realized the implications of what he just said.

Kaiba was momentarily flustered, then tried to cover, by asking what everyone was doing that night. He was overjoyed to learn that everyone had plans of their own, except for Jou, but then just as quickly that feeling dispersed as he assumed that Jou would probably not want to do anything with him alone.

At that moment Honda piped up �Hey Jou, you don�t have to go alone now, Kaiba can go with you.� He was feeling slightly guilty for leaving his friend hanging, besides he was the only one who knew about Jou�s feelings for Seto. They used to lament together over liking guys that would probably never like them back. He was sure that Kaiba liked his friend or maybe he was just seeing things in a romantic light, but whatever, he thought this would be a good opportunity for Jou. He could go out with Kaiba by himself, and not feel awkward about it, because it wasn�t really a date.
Kaiba perked up, it seemed like Honda wandinnding him opportunity on a silver platter, and then...
Jou stammered and scratched the back of his head, the heat intensifying in his face �Um I don�t think, that�s something he would like too much... I mean can you, see him there...� Jou was mortified, he couldn�t imagine taking Kaiba to the Town Theatre, or, the Mansion House [2], which was the other part of the evening�s plan. Both places were such dives, and he just couldn�t see Seto Kaiba there.
Seto was crestfallen, the puppy didn�t want to be alone with him, and he knew it. But he wouldn�t let this opportunity go by without at least trying.

�Please don�t talk about me like I�m not even here, and why don�t you tell me your plans before you make up my mind for me.�

Jou was chagrined �Honda and I had plans to see Pulp fiction at the Town theatre tonight, and to go to the Mansion House afterwards to see this blues band that�s there tonight. But now he has more intimate plans, that don�t include me, so I�m going on my own.�

�No you�re not...�

�Excuse me� Jou was getting riled, who was Kaiba to tell him what he could and couldn�t do.

�...Going alone, I�ll go with you, if you can stand my company�

�Um Kaiba, have you ever seen either of these two places, they are both rather grungy, and the people at the Mansion House are kind of rough?�

Kaiba brushed off Jou�s concern, and said he could handle just t ant anything.

�Oh I don�t know Kaiba, this is really low life.�

�Then why are you going�, Kaiba countered.

�First of all I am a low life remember� Jou teased (Kaiba cringed, as he remembered some of his nastier comments to the blond). Secondly to be able to see my favourite movie on the big screen, for the first time, and see one of my favourite bands live on the same night, I wouldn�t turn this opportunity down, even if I had to watch them in a garbage dump. Which both of these places pretty much are, you�ve been warned, but you�re welcome to accompany me if you want.�

�I want, but one thing, don�t you have to be 19[3] to get into a club, how are you going to manage that.�
�The lead singer of the band Doug, is a friend and mentor to me, as long as I promise not to drink and stay out of trouble, they let me in to watch. They usually let me play one or two songs with them, so you might be in for treat� Jou said sarcastically.
�Oh I didn�t know you played... what do you play by the way?� This was utter BS, Seto knew Jou played guitar, and he knew he played it well, having eavesdropped on him many times. Kaiba had overheard Jou playing in the music room after school one day and was completely blown away by how talented he was. It was then that his feelings for the blonde blossomed from a lusty crush, to something more. It was the first time that he realized that Jou was not the simpleton he allowed the world to think he was. He always knew the pup was loyal and that he had the tenacity of a pit bull, but he always thought that Jou lacked any real substance. Why that he was a talented guitarist changed his mind about Jou, Seto could not fully comprehend but he thought it had something to do with the fact he was often brought to tears standing outside of the music room listening to the blonde practice. Jou�s playing touched Seto�s soul. No, it caressed his soul, wrapped itself around him and cradled him lovingly in its embrace. Seto gave his head a mental shake, he was getting a bit too mushy for his liking.
�I play guitar. I�ve been learning since I was 9 years old and Doug is the one who taught me� Jou replied. �So you really want to come with me?� Jou asked suddenly very shy, pink tinting his cheeks.
This didn�t go by Seto unnoticed �I already said I did, didn�t I pup� Seto answered tickled that the pup really did want to go out with him �So what time should I pick you up?�
�Well the movie starts at 7:00 so why don�t we just meet at the theatre, you know where it is?� There was no way on God�s green earth that he was going to let Seto Kaiba anywhere near the rat hole that was his home, it was bad enough that he was going to the Town. �Oh, and if you�re going to be parking a car in that part of town it might be a good idea not to bring anything too flashy and expensive, unless you want it stripped or stolen.�
Seto said that he had an old sedan that his cook used for running errands in, he would use that. He didn�t want his night with Jou ruined because Jou was worried about his car. If something happened to that car it was no big deal, for that matter if something happened to his Porsche it wasn�t a biggie either. Seto assumed though that Jou would rather something not happen to his car because it was somewhere the blonde had taken him.
Jou nodded and suggested that they meet around 6:45 at the theatre.
With that Kaiba got up to go to his afternoon classes. Jou sat there lost in his own thoughts until he heard Honda snicker beside him. He looked over and saw that all of his friends were staring at him with stunned looks on their faces, except Honda of course, he just grinning like an idiot.
�Jou� Yugi asked �did you just accept to go on a date with Seto Kaiba?�
�Yeah I did Yug� Jou answered, his eyes dancing, and a brilliant smile gracing his face.
�I had no idea you liked him... but then again maybe all your quarrels were just a way to cover that fact hmm Jou? Yugi teased.
Jou just blushed, he seemed to being doing a lot of that this lunchtime, �Umm maybe Yug, maybe... Well I�ve got to get my books for this afternoon, see you in class. Jou gave his friends a wave and headed to his locker.
End chapter one.
[1] The tenth anniversary of Pulp fiction is actually next year... but what the hell, artistic license.
[2] The Town theatre and the Mansion House are both real places in the city where I live, and the descriptions of them that will be later in the story will be completely accurate.
