Chapter
3 – Getting to know you

Seto couldn't
remember falling asleep, but since he woke up as the first rays of
the sun started warming his face he assumed that he had managed to
sleep. Slowly opening his eyes the reality crashed back into his
perception. He was lost in the woods together with the mutt, whom he
greatly disliked and who was currently curled up in his arms.

'What the fuck?'
The last memory he had of the last evening was the two of them
sitting next to each other. Jounouchi had already been asleep, while
he himself had been busy staring at the flames and thinking about
their unfortunate situation.

Deciding to not
think about the embarrassing situation in which he had woken; Seto
carefully entangled his body from the blond. He completely ignored
how good it felt to have the other teen pressed against him. And he
didn't think that Jounouchi looked cute as he tried to snuggle closer
to the warmth that had just been taken from him.

Their fire had
already burned down, but since the sun shone into the small clearing,
it wasn't cold anymore. Stretching his body, that was stiff from
sleeping on the cold floor, Seto explored the area. He had no idea,
where they were or in which direction they had to go. 'And the mutt
won't be much help either.' Maybe it would be the best if they tried
to go back the way they came. Deciding to wake up the blond, Seto
returned to the middle of the clearing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just when Seto
was about to shake him awake Jou opened his eyes to find his secret
crush hovering closely over his face. Shocked and embarrassed he
scrambled backwards, when he remembered the dream he had had the
previous night. He had dreamed that they were lost in the woods and
he had slept in Seto's arms, but that was ridiculously impossible.
'What the hell is he doing in my room?'

The reality of
his dream became clear to him, when Seto straightened up and he saw
the blue sky overhead. 'Dammit. It wasn't a dream?' Wondering if he
had really slept in the brunet's arms, he got up, but quickly
dismissed that thought as he saw the CEO's scowling face. Must have
been a dream.

He could see
Seto rummaging through their backpacks when his stomach gave a hungry
growl. “Oi, money bags. You got something to eat?” The
frown on the other teen's face was answer enough. Great. Now they
were lost in the woods without a single scrap of food.

Walking around
the clearing Jou tried to find something edible. His dad had taught
him, which plants could be used as food and which were poisonous.
Maybe if he found something, he could not only quell his own hunger,
but impress his crush too. 'Yeah and then there remains only the
small matter of him being straight. Stop deluding yourself idiot.'
Lost in his own thoughts he had wandered to the farthest end of the
clearing.

There were a
couple of bushes that were full of dark berries. Crouching down,
Jounouchi picked one of them up, trying to remember its name and
whether it was edible. 'Blackberries.' Finally recognizing the edible
fruits, he hungrily plopped them into his mouth, while plucking more.

“What the
hell are you doing, mutt?”

“Eating.”
Extending his hand, Jounouchi offered some of the berries to Seto,
who regarded them with a skeptic look. Slightly angered by the
brunet's mistrust, Jou snapped: “Those are blackberries you
idiot and they aren't poisonous. But you don't have to eat them if
you don't believe me.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wondering how
the teen he had always assumed to be stupid since he wasn't so good
at school, knew all these things, Seto experimentally put one into
his mouth. Not the greatest taste in the world, but food
none-the-less. Picking more of the dark berries, he hungrily filled
his stomach, before plucking some that he put into his backpack.

Jounouchi had
already returned to the clearing and was looking up at the sun,
obviously deep it thought. That the blond teen had not only found the
black berries, but also known them to be edible had interested him.
Maybe there was more to the loudmouthed mutt, than he had originally
thought. 'Obviously he knows more about survival in the woods, than
me. I have to stick to him until we get rescued.'

He didn't doubt,
that probably half an army of people were already looking for them.
Not so much for the mutt, but at least for him. As CEO of Kaiba
Corporation he was important enough to warrant a huge search. This
was entirely stupid teacher's fault. 'As soon as I get home, that
idiot is getting fired.'

Joining Jou in
the middle of the clearing, Seto watched with interest as the blond,
looked at his watch and then at the sun, before changing his
direction slightly. He was completely emerged in his task and almost
jumped in surprise, when the brunet addressed him.

“Do you
know which direction we have to go, mutt?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I have a
name, you know. But if you are so high and mighty, I should maybe
leave you to yourself.”

It irked Jou
endlessly that Seto always insisted of calling him 'mutt'. True that
he usually retaliated with name calling, but that was in defense,
rather than from choice. Earlier he had hoped that their situation
would maybe give them a chance to get to know each other, but
obviously Kaiba wasn't willing to even give him a chance.

Shouldering his
backpack, he walked into the direction, he had estimated to be north.
They had been walking south, when they were still with the group, so
going north should theoretically lead them back to civilization.
Hoping that he was right, Jou left the clearing.

At first he
thought that Seto had stayed behind, until the brunet appeared next
to him. The CEO was chewing his lip, an unconscious gesture that Jou
had often seen him do, when he thought about something. 'Probably
thinking up new insults for me.' Sighing, the blond pulled his gaze
away from the lush bottom lip.

He had to quit
thinking about how much he wanted to take the lip between his teeth,
since he could already feel the first slivers of arousal coiling in
his belly. But the more he tried to keep his mind off the brunet, the
more he actually thought about him.

Kaiba was now
walking slightly in front of him, giving Jou a perfect view of his
ass. Stumbling due to his inattentiveness, he almost crashed into the
brunet. When their eyes met, he couldn't keep the blush from creeping
over his face, but the other teen obviously hadn't spotted it in the
shadowy wood. Obviously having come to a decision, Kaiba let his lip
slip from between his teeth, before speaking.

“So,
Jounouchi, how is it that you know all these things about surviving
in the woods?” Surprised by the genuine interest he could hear
in the others voice and by the use of his name instead of an insult,
Jou started to talk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was already
getting dark and they hadn't found the trail yet. But Seto had found
that the mutt, Jounouchi, he mentally corrected himself, was not only
far more intelligent than he led on, but also an interesting partner
for a conversation. They had spent the day talking about anything
that sprang to their minds, finding that their interests were quite
similar.

Seto would have
laughed at anybody, who would have insisted that he could like the
mutt, two days ago, but now he had found that he really was a great
person to be around. Definitely a lot more fun, than the managers or
business men, he usually spent his time with.

The sun was
slowly sinking lower, illuminating the blonde’s face with a
fiery glow. 'Beautiful.' Startling at his own thoughts, Seto looked
at the teen again. He really was handsome in his own chaotic way.
Although he had never thought about Jounouchi before, Seto had been
well aware of the fact, that he preferred men. Maybe he had just
never looked at the blond closely enough. Shaking these thoughts off
for the moment, he continued their conversation.

“You
aren't as stupid as I had thought. Why are you that abysmal at
school?”

“I got
ADD. So I just can't concentrate at school.” Nodding in
understanding, Seto fell silent. That also explained, why Jou had
always seemed to look sad, when he was accused of being inattentive.

“You know
that there is medicine for that, right? Why aren't you getting it?”

“My father
can't afford it. I think we should camp here, it's almost too dark to
find the right direction.” Jou seemed very eager to get away
from the subject of his family, so Seto refrained from asking further
questions. But he decided, that he would make sure, that the blond
would get medication, when they returned to civilization.

During one day,
the blond had already become something of a friend to him. Seto had
to admit, that it was a nice experience, because except for Mokuba,
there was nobody, he could really call a friend. And he was feeling a
growing attraction towards Jou, but that was something he wasn't
ready to acknowledge yet.
