Chapter Twenty-four
Seto drops
a note on Yugi’s desk as he passes it on the way back to his own.Yugi opens
the note and reads the few words to himself. ‘Jounouchi doesn’t want a
party.’Seto reads
the response. ‘Why not? He’s always loved his birthday, and he’s always
wanted a huge party with everyone he loves there. With a little help from you,
this could be the first year he could actually get that.’‘I’m
afraid it’s entirely my fault. He’s going to hate me for what I’ve done.’‘Seto,
what did you do to him?’ Yugi hazards a glance at Seto.‘Remember
Genesis?’‘Of
course I do. Jounouchi was so happy that they were reuniting for a tour. He’d
never got to see them perform live before, so he saved up all his money, and we
went on a road trip to get the tickets… He was so depressed when we went to the
ticket booth and saw the sold out sign. I’ve never seen him cry like
that before. He even lost his appetite. I know he pigged out on chocolate that
night, but he hardly ate at all the next morning. I was worried about him.’‘The
tickets weren’t sold out.’‘What?’
Yugi glares at Seto.Seto
has the decency to look ashamed as he writes his response. ‘I said, the
tickets weren’t sold out. I had already made the arrangements for front row
seats. I managed to get the tickets in advance… for a price, but I was
perfectly willing to pay it for Jounouchi to have a wonderful birthday with all
his friends. And when Jou decided to go on the road trip to buy tickets, I had
actually wanted to go with you all. We would have found a ticket booth with the
sold out sign, because I had specifically called to have one of the booths shut
down. If you had gone to any other ticket booth, you could have bought the
tickets, but I had my driver take you the booth I had arranged to shut down. I
wanted to surprise him. I didn’t think he would get so depressed about it!’‘So why
didn’t you tell him about it when we got back? After you knew how hurt he was,
why did you stay silent?’‘Mokuba…
Mokuba told me that Jou had started a new project to keep his mind off the
concert, and he thought it would be valuable to Jou to complete the project. He
thought if I told Jou about the tickets that he would stop the project. My
Christmas present from Jou was a scrapbook of photos and newspaper clippings of
my real family. I don’t remember my parents much because of trauma-induced
amnesia, but he managed to track down my parents’ wedding picture. I think
Mokuba wanted Jou to complete that project because he doesn’t remember our real
parents at all.’‘Oh. I
can understand that. So, Jou doesn’t know that we have tickets to the Genesis
concert. He’s going to be pissed at you for not telling him sooner that you got
the tickets. He doesn’t want a birthday party. Am I missing anything?’‘He has
a birthday date with his boyfriend.’‘On
Thursday?’‘Yes,
and the concert is on Friday.’‘What
are we going to do?’‘I don’t
know. I tried to tell him the truth the other day, but he just kept
interrupting me and telling me not to throw him a party.’‘Well…
we need to tell him. Maybe it would be better coming from me though. I can try
to talk to him.’‘I
appreciate it. Thank you. I hope he listens to you.’Yugi sends
a reassuring smile Seto’s way and tucks the note into his pocket. He waits
until lunch to pull Jounouchi aside. “Jounouchi, can we talk alone?”“Sure,”
says Jounouchi, “The roof is usually quiet this time of year.”“Great,”
says Yugi.Jounouchi
leads the way up to the roof where they sit down on a bench and pull out their
lunches. “So, what’s up, Yugi?”“Seto tells
me that you don’t want a birthday party this year,” says Yugi.“No,
actually I don’t,” says Jounouchi, “I have a date on my actual birthday, and it
will probably run late into Friday. I’m probably going to miss school. If we
have sex, I’ll be too sore to get out of his bed. And I’m still rather bummed
about the concert, so I just don’t feel like celebrating.”“We already
have plans for your birthday though,” says Yugi, “You see…”“You’ll
have to cancel. I’m going to spend the entire weekend with my boyfriend,”
interrupts Jounouchi, “That’s all I want to do.”“Jou…”
“And I want
no further discussion about my birthday.”“Okay,”
says Yugi, “but please reconsider.”“I’ll let
you know if I change my mind,” says Jounouchi.Yugi sighs.
“I
appreciate everything you’ve done for me and tried to do for me, Yugi, but I
just don’t want help this time,” says Jounouchi.“You’re my
best friend, Jounouchi. I love you, and I just want you to have a happy
birthday,” says Yugi.* * *
“Jounouchi’s
living with you now. I’ll gather everyone up, and we’ll come over right after
school on Thursday,” says Yugi.“I’ve
spoken to Shizuka on the phone, and her plane will be arriving Thursday
afternoon as well. Could you stop by the airport to pick her up on your way?”
asks Seto.“Of course
we will. I’ll convince Otogi to give everyone a ride,” says Yugi, “You try to
give Jounouchi the tickets before we arrive.”“I’ll try,”
says Seto, “I can’t make any guarantees though. He’s going to be so pissed at
me.”“Maybe we
should tell him that you won them in a contest of some sort,” says Yugi, “I
know it’s a lie, but he won’t be pissed off about it. It will make him feel
better without him hating you. He doesn’t need to know that you hurt him when
you had no idea it would and no intention of doing so.”“Thank you
for your help, Yugi,” says Seto with a small smile, “I’ll see you in class… and
on Thursday.”Yugi nods
and watches as Seto leaves the game shop.* * *
“I’m going
to go take a really long bath before I start to get ready for our date,” says
Jounouchi pressing his chest up against Seto’s, “Please wear your white suit to
dinner tonight.” He places a quick kiss to Seto’s lips.“I’ll wear
it if you want me to. There’s some people going to be coming over in a little
bit to wish you a happy birthday,” says Seto.“The white
suit. Remember,” says Jounouchi spinning and running up the stairs to his room.
He starts the water running to fill his bath before he heads to his closet to
pick out his clothing for the evening and set it on the bed. He opens his
nightstand drawer and pulls out the book Seto gave him. He flips it open to the
section on preparation and lubrication as he heads back into the bathroom. He
turns the water off and sets the book on the counter to read as he removes his
school uniform. “So basically I just stick my fingers up my ass. Sounds simple
enough.”Jounouchi
slips into the water and lowers himself to be almost completely submerged. He
reaches one hand down between his legs and rubs himself for a moment before
finding his puckered entrance. He takes a deep breath before plunging his
finger inside. He winces in pain and removes his finger. “Damn! How could that
ever be pleasurable?”Jounouchi
leans back and grabs the soap to start scrubbing his skin. After rinsing off,
he quickly shampoos and conditions his hair before climbing out of the bath
refreshed. He dries himself and blow-dries his hair before slipping on his
white lace high-cut panties. He sits down on the toilet long enough to
carefully raise his thigh-high nylons up his lengthy legs. He carefully puts on
the white princess dress and tries his damnedest to get the zipper up all by himself.
After a few moments, and a few well-placed curse words, he succeeds. He looks
through his jewelry and decides to continue wearing his diamond earrings along
with his white gold necklace with the hanging pearl that he wraps around his
throat and clasps, the white rose pin that he decides to affix to his black fur
cowl, and the crystal tiara hair pin that he puts into the wig.Jounouchi
takes the time now to start to apply his make-up, going for gold and silver
tones to accentuate the dress. He applies his shimmering lip-gloss before
walking out to his bedroom carrying the wig in his hands, not yet sure which
hairstyle to wear it in. He puts on his clear crystal-sequined pumps, and he
slips on a pair of white gloves.“Jounouchi!”
shouts Shizuka from somewhere downstairs.Jounouchi’s
eyes widen, and his entire body stiffens. “Shizuka?”“Jounouchi!”
shouts Shizuka again, “Where are you?”“Shizuka!”
exclaims Jounouchi clutching his wig as he hurries out of his room and runs
down the stairs. He sees his sister in the entranceway first, and he smiles
happily.“Jounouchi?
Kat?” asks Malik staring at the blond with wide eyes.Seto sees
Jounouchi, and he rushes up the stairs to grab him in a tight embrace. His
voice echoes down to everyone in the entranceway, “Don’t look!”Jounouchi
stares into Seto’s chest. “You… the visitors… you mentioned visitors. I forgot.
My friends. My sister.”“I’m sorry.
I thought you’d know to come down as yourself,” whispers Seto.“I did come
down as myself, and I have no regrets. I was merely surprised.”“What?”
whispers Seto.“It’s
time,” whispers Jounouchi, “Let’s introduce my best friends… to my boyfriend.”“Are you
sure?”“I wanted
to do it soon anyway. I just thought I’d do it wearing pants, but I guess that
can’t be helped.” Jounouchi nods. He allows Seto to guide him down the rest of
the stairs where he curtseys to the assembled group. He wears a white
princess-style ball gown with a full-length, puffy circle skirt and formfitting
bodice with cap-sleeves and a square neckline. “Good afternoon, everyone. I am
Suya Kat, and this is my boyfriend, Kaiba Seto.”Yugi and
Ryou share a smile and a quick glance.“Jounouchi?
Is that really you in there?” asks Otogi.“Yes, of
course it is,” says Jounouchi. He looks around at all his friends to gauge
their reactions, and he sees their initially shocked faces turning into broad
smiles.“It’s about
time,” says Ryou, “Yugi and I were starting to wonder if you would ever tell us
the truth about your relationship with Seto.” He wraps his arms around Yugi and
pulls the shorter teen up against his chest.“Congratulations,
you two. I’m very happy for the both of you,” says Yugi with a huge smile.“I must say
I’m a bit surprised,” says Mai raising an eyebrow at Jounouchi, “that you would
even try to hide this from us in the first place.”“Yes, it’s
not like we have a problem with cross-dressers. Reila is proof of that,” says
Isis crossing her arms over her chest and pouting slightly.“I’ve had a
lot to come to terms with before I could tell you…”“We are
happy that you two are happy together,” says Rishid, “You make a very nice
couple. You fit.”Malik winks
at Jounouchi playfully and smiles. He reaches out and takes Otogi’s hand.“I must say
though. I actually didn’t see this one coming,” says Anzu, “You two announcing
you were having an affair, okay, but Jounouchi being Kat never occurred to me.
You make a very nice woman, Kat.”“Thank
you,” says Jounouchi, “I had help.”“There’s
one thing I don’t understand though,” says Otogi, “You said you were dating
Ishimaru.”“He didn’t
lie, if that’s what you’re implying,” says Seto, “My birth name was Ishimaru
Seto.”Mokuba’s
eyes widen slightly, but he doesn’t say anything.“So what
are you doing all dressed up, Kat?” asks Mai smiling.Jounouchi
blushes. “Seto and I have a dinner date. We’re going to La Gourmand. Oh, right!
Speaking of which… Anzu, Ryou, Mai, do you suppose I could get some help
styling my hair? I wasn’t sure quite how I wanted to wear it with this dress
tonight.”“Sure,”
says Ryou stepping up and taking the wig from Jounouchi’s hands. He returns to
Mai and Anzu, and they all start to whisper to each other about what they think
they should do to the long golden locks.“Kat, dear,
about that…”Jounouchi
turns to look at Seto with pain-filled eyes. “You’re not canceling on me, are
you?”“I asked
everyone to come over today to help me convince you to go to Tokyo for the
weekend. We’d be leaving tonight,” says Seto, “and going to the Genesis concert
tomorrow.”Jounouchi
turns away from Seto despondently. “But I didn’t get the tickets.”“I did,”
says Seto, “I have sources, you know.”Jounouchi
spins around quickly. His wide, hopeful amber eyes meet Seto’s concerned blue.
“You really have the tickets?”“Yes,” says
Seto.Jounouchi
squeals, “I love you” and throws his arms around Seto’s neck happily.“Now… you
need to pack clothes and get changed so we can go to Tokyo,” says Seto,
“Everyone else has already packed and they’re ready to go.”“Do you
think we could leave after dinner?” asks Jounouchi, “I was kind of
looking forward to a nice quiet dinner with my boyfriend. We can make it short
though, only seven courses!”“I can
certainly arrange it if that’s what you want,” says Seto.“I do.”
Jounouchi smiles before pulling Seto into a quick kiss.“Seto, why
don’t you two go out to dinner while Shizuka and I pack Jou’s clothes?” asks
Mokuba.“And I can
handle our travel arrangements,” says Otogi pulling out his cell phone, “I have
connections too, you know.”“Deal! Give
me five minutes to lay out the clothes I want to take!” exclaims Jounouchi
spinning around and running up the stairs again.“I’ll
help!” exclaims Shizuka running after Jounouchi. She follows her brother into
his room.“Shizuka,
did you bring clothes for Kashi?” asks Jounouchi opening the doors to his
closet and pulling out his luggage set.“Of course.
I brought the stuff I got from Shalara,” says Shizuka, “Why?”“I want to
be Kat all weekend, which means you’ll have to be Kashi all weekend and Mokuba
can be either Mokuba or Mari,” says Jounouchi pulling out articles of clothing
and tossing them onto the bed.“You’re
bringing only Kat’s clothes?” asks Mokuba stepping into the room.“Is there a
problem with that?” asks Jounouchi coming out of the closet with his last few
selections.“No. That
just means I have to add some clothes of mine to your luggage,” says Mokuba,
“If you’re done choosing outfits, you can go on down to Seto. We’ll pick your
shoes and accessories.”“You are
the best!” exclaims Jounouchi kissing Shizuka’s cheek quickly before placing a
kiss to Mokuba’s cheek. He gets his faux fur cowl and his faux fur muff from
his closet, and he attaches the white rose pin to the cowl. He carries them
with him as he runs out of his bedroom and heads back downstairs.“Okay,
we’ve got your hair done!” exclaims Anzu seeing Jounouchi approaching them.“Thank
you,” says Jounouchi taking the wig and putting it on so that the golden blond
tresses fall in their twists and braids from the bun on his head.“Beautiful
as always, Kat,” says Seto walking down the stairs wearing his black tuxedo
pants and his ivory double-breasted uniform-style jacket.“Thank you,
Seto,” says Jounouchi curtseying.Seto bows
to Jounouchi. “Are you ready to leave?”“Yes,” says
Jounouchi.Seto steps
up to Jounouchi and takes the black fake fur so that he can wrap it around his
boyfriend’s shoulders.Jounouchi
tucks his hands into his black muff.“Have a
good time,” says Isis.“All the
arrangements will be made by the time you get back so that we can head to
Tokyo,” says Otogi after pulling his phone away from his ear.“Thank
you,” says Seto with a simple nod of his head as he gets his coat from the
closet and slips it on, “Let’s go, Kat.”Jounouchi
steps out the door once Seto opens it for him, and he walks towards the waiting
car.Seto opens
the passenger door and helps Jounouchi into the front seat. Then he runs around
and climbs into the driver’s seat.“You are
the best boyfriend in the world,” says Jounouchi leaning over to give Seto a
kiss on the cheek.“I’m sorry
that I didn’t tell you about the Genesis tickets earlier, but every time I
tried to mention your birthday, you changed the subject,” says Seto starting
the engine. He shifts into gear and starts driving down the driveway.Jounouchi
looks down at his lap. “I apologize for that.”“You don’t
need to apologize. I understand. You were upset because you had wanted to go to
the concert so much and it looked as if you were going to miss it,” says Seto,
“So you wanted to forget about the day after your birthday by forgetting about
your birthday as well.”“I’m used
to being disappointed on my birthday,” says Jounouchi, “All growing up, my
birthday has been… shit. Before my parents’ divorced, I never got a birthday party.
Shizuka did. I always decorated the house for her party, and I would make
cupcakes and cookies for it. I stayed up all night with my EZ-Bake oven to do
it. The bitch wouldn’t make a cake for her. She let us have a party at our
house, but she wouldn’t do anything to help, just chaperone it. So I made the
snacks with my EZ-Bake oven… actually, I think it was Shizuka’s oven, but
that’s beside the point! I decorated. I made the invitations for Shizuka to
give to her classmates at school. I pretty much hosted the party, and Shizuka
got lots of nice presents from her friends, and one from our parents because a
child can’t have a birthday party without getting a present from the parents.
But I never had a party for my birthday.”“You threw
a party for Shizuka. Why didn’t she return the favor?” asks Seto stopping the
car at a red light.“She
suggested it to our mother once, but she said we couldn’t. The bitch wouldn’t
chaperone a party for me. She wouldn’t allow us to have it in her house. So I
never had one. I never got any presents from my family either. Shizuka made us
cupcakes with the EZ-Bake oven, and she’d always draw me a picture as a
present,” says Jounouchi with a sigh, “Every year, I would ask my parents to
give me a bicycle for my birthday or Christmas. I never got one. Shizuka got a
tricycle for her fourth birthday, and she got a bicycle for Christmas two years
before the divorce. She never wanted a bicycle, but they gave her one because I
wanted it, and they didn’t want me to have one. All my life, all they ever did
was show me how unwanted and unloved I was. Birthdays have never been a happy
time for me… not until I met… Honda, and then Yugi and everyone.”“Never
again, puppy,” says Seto, “Never again will I let you feel unloved or unwanted
on your birthday. You are wanted. You are loved.” He pulls the car to a stop
beside La Gourmand, and he looks towards Jounouchi. “From this day forward,
your birthdays will be a joyous occasion because there are so many people who
are thankful that you are alive.”Jounouchi
smiles and leans over to kiss Seto full on the mouth even as the valet opens
the passenger door. He whispers, “Thank you, Seto” before allowing the man to
help him from the passenger seat.Seto opens
his door and moves around to Jounouchi as a second valet takes the driver’s
seat. He takes Jounouchi’s arm lightly and escorts him up to the door and into
the restaurant. Their outer garments get checked in the coatroom, and they are
seated quickly.“Can we
share dinner again?” asks Jounouchi blushing slightly.Seto
smiles. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”“Monsieur
Kaiba, Mademoiselle Suya. Bonsoir,” says the waiter stepping up to their table
and smiling.“Bonsoir,”
says Seto before continuing to speak in French to the young man standing before
them. “C’est tout. Merci.”“I love it
when you speak French,” says Jounouchi, “It sounds so elegant coming from your
lips.”“Merci, mon
amour,” says Seto before pulling Jounouchi into a chaste kiss, “Would you like
to know what we’ll be eating?”“Yes. We’re
only having seven courses this time, right?” asks Jounouchi.Seto nods.
“I didn’t order the liver Pâté. I know you said you didn’t like it, so we’ll be
having ratatouille as our appetizer tonight. Ratatouille is similar to a
vegetable casserole, and it’s served with French bread. It will be followed by
the soup du jour, which is French onion. Our first entrée is Coq au Vin, rice
pilaf, and green beans with toasted pecans.”“Green
beans with pecans?” asks Jounouchi, “Wait a minute. Did you say Cocoa Van? What
is that?”“I said
Coq… au… Vin. It’s chicken,” says Seto. “Then we have a lime gelato, and the
second entrée is steak au Poivre with Dijon sauce, vegetables in garlic cream
sauce, and couscous… followed by a Niçoise salad. Our final course of the
evening will be a dessert platter.”“Mmm…
dessert.” Jounouchi leans against Seto.“Fruit,
cheese, bread, chocolate mousse, and a chocolate torte,” whispers Seto.The waiter
steps up to them with a bottle on the tray in his hand. “I have brought your
refreshment, sir.”“Merci,”
says Seto as the waiter removes the cork and fills the glasses with the
translucent liquid.“Your first
course will be out momentarily,” says the waiter placing the bottle in a bucket
of ice on Seto’s side of the table. He turns and walks away.“Is this
peach juice again?” asks Jounouchi lifting his glass and sniffing the liquid.“I decided
on something a little bolder since we’re having beef as our second course, but
since we’re having chicken for the first entrée we didn’t want anything too
bold, so this is red grapefruit juice,” says Seto.“Seto, can
I ask you something?”“Is it
embarrassing?”Jounouchi
blushes. “Maybe a little.”Seto
blushes slightly. “Go ahead.”“It’s just…
sometimes… I get the feeling that you…”The waiter
steps up at that moment and places the plate in front of the two. “Bon
appetite!”“Merci,”
says Seto waving the waiter away, “You were saying…?”Jounouchi
smiles slightly. “Never mind. You’ll answer my question on your own, sometime
when you’re ready.”“Then may I
ask you a question instead?” asks Seto as they start to eat the Ratatouille.“Go ahead.”
“When I
told you I had Genesis tickets, you said you love me. Was that just your
excitement speaking, or do you actually feel that way?” asks Seto staring into
the warm brown eyes hopefully.Jounouchi’s
entire face reddens. “I know I said it out of excitement. As for the second
half of your question, I don’t know yet. I like you. I care for you so much,
but I don’t know what love feels like. So I can’t answer that question yet.”“Acceptable,”
says Seto nodding his head, “I know that it can sometimes be difficult to
understand your own emotions, especially when it’s the first time you’ve
experienced them. I was in denial for a long time the first time I fell in
love.”“Was it
hard telling her? That you love her, I mean?” asks Jounouchi.“Yes. It’s
hard to find the right time, and it’s nerve-wracking because you don’t always
know if the other person feels the same. Then if the person doesn’t love you
back, there’s this… awkwardness you feel,” says Seto, “It’s really… something
else.”“You make
it sound like a nightmare,” says Jounouchi.“It’s worth
it though, if the person you say those words to says them back to you,” says
Seto with a smile.“Thank you,
Seto, for a wonderful birthday,” says Jounouchi kissing Seto’s cheek.“It’s not
over yet. When do you want your gifts? Your friends all have brought the
presents with them,” says Seto as their waiter comes out to bring them their
soup and take the empty plate away.“It will be
late by the time we get to Tokyo,” says Jounouchi, “so maybe we should do that
tomorrow… unless you have something planned for us for the daytime.”“No,
actually, I don’t have anything planned beside staying in a hotel for the
weekend and going to the concert tomorrow,” says Seto, “The rest of the
weekend’s activities are completely up for debate.”“Okay,
we’ll talk it over as a group later then,” says Jounouchi smiling, “Until then,
let’s just enjoy our evening.”Seto
smiles. “Absolutely.”* * *
Jounouchi
steps into the living room wearing his black crocheted sweater over the red
baby-doll tee that shows off his stomach. He wears a black leather skirt over
black Capri leggings. His red pumps don’t make a sound on the carpeted floor,
and he carries his black handbag. Wound about his neck, the gold and ruby
choker glistens in the pale light. His eyes immediately scan his group of
friends and lands on Seto sitting on the couch in a simple pair of blue jeans and
a long-sleeved white t-shirt. “Okay, are we ready to go?”“The
helicopter’s waiting for us outside,” says Otogi, “It’s already packed with
everyone’s bags.”“A
helicopter?” asks Jounouchi, “I didn’t know you had a helicopter, Otogi.”“As a
matter of fact, I do own a helicopter, but we’re also borrowing Kaiba’s. We all
wouldn’t fit in one,” says Otogi smiling, “So are you ready or what?”“I just
need to get my coat,” says Jounouchi opening the coat closet and pulling out
his long black trench coat.“Allow me,”
says Seto taking the coat and helping Jounouchi slip it on.“You two
look just lovely together,” says Mai smiling when Jounouchi blushes.“Get your
coats!” exclaims Mokuba grabbing his coat from the closet and pulling it on.Everyone
gets bundled up for the winter weather, and they approach the door.Seto opens
the door for Jounouchi a split second before the doorbell rings.Jounouchi’s
eyes widen, and he freezes in his tracks. He gasps, “Honda!”Yugi steps
up beside Jounouchi and grabs his arm for support.“What the
hell are you doing on my property?” snarls Seto.“I just
came to apologize and give my best friend a birthday present,” says Honda
holding out a small wrapped box.“I can’t
forgive you,” says Jounouchi as his eyes start to fill with tears, “You tried
to rape me… What the fuck? Why the hell would you come here now? Of all days,
why today?”“Because I
love you,” says Honda.Seto places
his hand on Jounouchi’s shoulder and pushes him back gently. He steps out the
door and closes it behind him. “If you love Jou, why did you try to rape him?”“Because he
was with you. I was distraught,” says Honda, “I was severely drunk and
depressed because he was with you. I was really messed up. I didn’t even know
what I was doing until it was over. I never meant to hurt him.”“Why are
you here now? You could have apologized to him the next day, or the week after,
or the week after that. It’s been over a month since that day. Why are you here
to apologize now?” asks Seto.“I didn’t
think it was appropriate for me to come apologize until I had come to terms
with his relationship with you,” says Honda sadly, “I know I don’t have a
chance with him anymore. I’ve come to accept that.”“So if you
accept that you can’t have him, why tell him you love him?”“Because I
want to be honest with him, like I should have been from the start. If I would
have told him that I loved him a year ago, none of this would have happened,”
says Honda, “But I didn’t know he was bisexual then. He only ever acted
completely straight.”“And what
of that gift you brought him? Is it going to hurt him again?” asks Seto.“I hope
not. It’s a pair of stuffed animals. The Red-Eyes Black Dragon and the
Blue-Eyes White Dragon,” says Honda, “To let him know that I’m letting him go.”“I’ll make
sure he gets it,” says Seto holding out his hand for the gift, “After I make
sure it is what you say it is.”“I
understand your trepidation,” says Honda handing over the present, “Treat him
well, okay?”“I always
do,” says Seto hiding the present in his coat.“Do you
love him?”“Very
much.”Honda nods
and turns away. He walks down to his motorcycle and climbs on before riding it
away.Seto opens
the door to see everyone huddled together. He smiles. “The trespasser has been
removed. It is safe to come out now.”Jounouchi
moves into Seto’s open arms. “Are you okay? Did he try to hurt you?”“He didn’t
try anything,” says Seto honestly, “We just talked. Are you ready to go to
Tokyo?”Jounouchi
kisses Seto quickly. “Thank you.”Everyone walks
down to the car garage and around behind it to the helicopter pad where two
helicopters are resting.“Shizuka,
Mokuba, you’ll be in the Kaiba Corp chopper with Kat and I,” says Seto.Mokuba and
Shizuka hold each other’s hand as they hurry towards the helicopter with the
Kaiba Corp logo on the side.“I’ll take
the Ishtars in my helicopter,” says Otogi squeezing Malik’s hand in his.“Mai?” asks
Isis, “Come with us.”“Of
course,” says Mai with a sexy smile towards Isis.Isis leads
the way for Mai and Rishid to get into the helicopter.“We can
take one more in ours,” says Otogi.Anzu looks
towards Ryou and Yugi. “I’ll join you, Otogi.”“That
leaves me and Yugi with you, Seto,” says Ryou.Everyone
heads to the right helicopter and climbs inside.The Black
Crown helicopter lifts off first and starts on the trip to Tokyo.Moments
later, the Kaiba Corp helicopter lifts off from the ground and follows the
other.“So how was
dinner?” asks Shizuka.“Wonderful!”
exclaims Jounouchi, “The food was so good! I’m beginning to really get a taste
for French cuisine.”“What did
you have?” asks Yugi.“We started
with Ratatouille, it’s this vegetable appetizer. I’ve never had anything like
it before, but I loved it!” says Jounouchi smiling, “And we had French Onion
soup. It was the best French onion soup I’ve ever tasted. You guys have got to
try it sometime.”“We could
all go out to dinner sometime,” says Seto, “I have more than enough money to
pay for us all to enjoy a lavish meal at La Gourmand. They have a private room
there that I normally reserve for business dinners. In fact, I think I could
write our dinner off as a business expense… for my game advisors.”“Game
advisors?” asks Mokuba smiling, “You mean…?”“What
better people to tell me how to improve my duel monster video games than the
duel monster champions?” asks Seto.“What else
did you eat?” asks Shizuka.“Our first
entrée was Coq au Vin with this rice thing…”“Rice
pilaf,” corrects Seto.“Yeah, and
green beans with toasted pecans,” says Jounouchi, “It sounds weird but it
tastes good. We didn’t have anything really that I didn’t like this time.”“Cocoa
what?” asks Yugi.“Coq au
Vin. It’s some chicken dish,” says Jounouchi.“After that
we had a lime gelato followed by our second entrée, steak au Poivre with Dijon
sauce,” says Seto, “served with couscous and vegetables in garlic cream sauce.”“Then we
had this salad. What did you call it?” asks Jounouchi leaning against Seto.“Niçoise
salad,” says Seto.“And
dessert?” asks Mokuba.“A dessert
platter. There was this chocolate cake thing…”“Chocolate
torte.”“A
chocolate pudding…”“Chocolate
mousse.”“Fruit,
bread, and these dessert cheeses,” says Jounouchi, “It filled me up nicely… not
quite so nice as the fourteen course meal, but good enough for the time
restraint.”“You can
order a midnight snack from room service after we check into the hotel,” says
Seto.“That all
sounds delicious,” says Ryou, “You had a good time then?”“This has
been the best birthday of my life!” exclaims Jounouchi happily.* * *
“Ryou,
Yugi, you have room 2103,” says Seto passing them the key.“Thank
you,” says Yugi taking the key from the brunet and smiling at his boyfriend.“We’ll just
be heading to bed then,” says Ryou taking his and Yugi’s bags from the cart
being wheeled around by the bellhop.“If you
need anything, ring the front desk,” says Seto, “and don’t worry about the
cost, so go ahead and order room service if you’re hungry.”“Thank
you,” says Ryou as Yugi opens the door to their room and enters before him. He
hurries in when he hears Yugi’s delighted squeal, “Wow! This is amazing, and
HUGE!”“Otogi,
your room is 2105,” says Seto passing him the key.“My room?”
asks Otogi taking the key.“There’s
plenty of room there for Malik if Isis and Rishid don’t mind him joining you,”
says Seto.“I don’t
care if they mind or not,” says Malik, “I’m sleeping with my boyfriend anyway!”
He grabs his bag and Otogi’s luggage.“I
understand,” says Isis, “Just don’t get pregnant.”Otogi opens
the door and takes a bag from Malik before they go inside and close the door
quickly behind them.“Isis,
Rishid, you are in 2107, it’s a three bedroom suite,” says Seto passing Isis
the key, “Anzu, Mai, you have 2109. Shizuka, Mokuba, Kat, and I will be in
2111. We also have a three bedroom suite.” He passes Anzu a key.“Are there
two bedrooms in our suite?” asks Mai as Anzu opens the door.“No,
ma’am,” says the bellhop removing Anzu’s bags from the pile on his trolley and
placing them in the room.“Anzu,
sweetie, why don’t you take the room, and I’ll take the spare bedroom from Isis
and Rishid’s suite,” says Mai.“If that’s
what you want,” says Isis smiling at Mai.“Fine by
me.” Anzu steps into her room with the bellhop following her.Rishid
takes his bag and Isis’s two bags and enters their room once his sister unlocks
the door.Isis helps
Mai grab her bags before stepping into the room with the blonde woman.The bellhop
returns and takes the rest of the luggage into the last room on the floor after
Seto opens the door.“Go ahead
and call room service, Kat,” says Seto, “I would like some warm milk and
cookies before bed.”Jounouchi
sits down beside the phone and lifts the receiver to his ear. He starts
ordering food once he gets someone on the other end of the line.“Kat and I
will be taking the largest room,” says Seto to the bellhop who nods and takes
the corresponding luggage into the room.Shizuka
looks into both the other rooms. “I think I like this one better than the
other.”“It’s yours
then,” says Mokuba taking Shizuka’s bags and carrying them into the room to set
them down.The bellhop
places Mokuba’s bags in his room before heading out.Jounouchi
places the receiver down. “You didn’t tip the man.”“I’ve
already made arrangements for his tips to be added to my bill,” says Seto,
“Everyone who assists us will get a hundred dollar bill for each trip to our
room that they make.”“Very
generous,” says Jounouchi smiling.- You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.
