Pairing: Seto/Jou, OC/Seto
Beta: Jennie B - too good to be trueIt took time for the blond. In those two weeks that had passed, he had had to get used to this ‘new’ life and be strong for Seto. He had never imagined, in his wildest dreams, that he would be the main source of support for the young CEO.As it was, in the week following the rescue, Jou almost didn’t recognize the teen that he had known for years. Seto was silent, sad and scared. Whenever someone would touch him, even if was the doctor or one of the nurses, he would start screaming and throw the first thing he could get his hands on. But, strangely enough, the only touch he didn’t refuse was Jounouchi’s. In fact, he almost seemed to crave it, pleading for reassuring hugs and for his company almost every second.And that really scared the blond; more than he would ever admit. Seeing the brunette in that state only made his overactive imagination wonder just what the kidnappers had done to the teen to turn him like that.In the beginning of the second week, after seeing how traumatized Seto was, Jou tried to find out what had happened to the kidnappers after the police had rescued Seto from the warehouse where he had been held hostage. He discovered, with a little help from Honda who was studying to enter the force, that one of them had been shot and killed on the day of the rescue, and the other had escaped. The police were after him, but the search hadn’t given them any positive results yet. With that information in mind, he had started to formulate a little plan in his head; a plan that he hoped would not only help the brunette, but also ease some of the guilt he still felt.Honda had immediately agreed to help him as soon as he had heard Jounouchi’s idea. They had devised some strategies to achieve their goals, and when the blond had left to go to visit Seto, he already felt much better about himself. It was just a matter of time. And until then, he would be the support the other teen needed.
-----“So this means nii-sama will finally be able to go home?” asked Mokuba, glad to hear those words from the blond as they talked on the phone.“Yes, by the end of the afternoon, we will be there,” affirmed the blond, watching over the exams the doctor was performing on Seto. He seemed much calmer about letting the old man touch him.“I’ll tell to the maid to prepare your room,” exclaimed Mokuba happily. “Is he healed?”“He is going to be fully healed as soon as he can feel safe at his home again, so don’t worry little buddy,” Jou answered softly. “These things just take some time.”“And with your help, he’s gonna be just fine.”“I hope so,” the blond replied truthfully. He didn’t want to feel any guiltier.“I’ll be waiting. Bye, Jou.”“Bye Mokuba.” The teen hung up the phone and turned to the bed, seeing that the doctor had finished with his exams.The old man smiled lightly and patted the brunette on the shoulder. “Mr. Kaiba, I’m very happy to announce that you are ready to go home. I think that some rest in the comfort of your own house and some healthy meals will be the perfect medicine for you now.”“Thanks for all you attention,” the blond said as the doctor gathered his things and left. As soon as the door closed, he approached the bed and sat himself beside the brunette. “See? Now you can go home and stop making Mokuba so worried.”“Stop that.” The icy tone surprised him.“What are you talking about?”“The condescending tone!” Seto exclaimed, turning his head to him. He sighed deeply, “I know that I’ve behaved like an idiot over these past couple of weeks, but I’m fine now. So don’t treat me like I’m a terminal patient.”Jou smiled lightly. “Thank the fucking lord.”“What?”“I was stepping on eggshells with you, so to speak. I’m glad to hear that the old Seto Kaiba is back.”The young CEO smirked at the statement and leaned into him, intending to give the other a kiss. The blond, on instinct, drew back, and as soon as he had, he knew that it had been the wrong thing to do. The hurt look in those azure eyes made him curse all the gods above for his action.“I guess they were right then.”“They? Whom are you talking about?” Jou asked.Seto didn’t answer him. He just climbed out of the bed and looked for the clothes that Mokuba had brought for him the day before. Jou cursed again.-----It really surprised the blond how much the employees of Kaiba’s mansion had been worried about their young master, and just how well known he was to them. As soon as they arrived, the butler and the chef both went to the limousine so that they could help with anything that Seto needed. The brunette snorted at that and grumbled a curt ‘no, thanks’, which only made both employees laugh a little. Jou smiled through the entire scene, his heart a little relieved to see that he wouldn’t be alone in his task of helping the young CEO get back to normal.Mokuba was waiting for them in the dining room. The meal was already on the table, and it smelled really good. The brunette sighed happily, thankful to not be eating hospital food anymore. He seated himself in his chair with just a bit of difficulty, and Jou sat next to him. He smiled at the blond and rested his hand on top of his. To Seto’s delight, the blond didn’t pull back, but at the same time, the gesture confused him.Actually, the blond’s behaviour had been confusing him since he had been rescued. During that first horrendous week, he had been desperate for some kind of affection – Jou’s affection. Every time someone other than the blond would touch him, flashes of what had happened would come to him, and his mind would shut down against the trauma. In his desperation, he had done anything he could to get those strange hands off of him. After that, he couldn’t remember clearly what he had done, but when Mokuba told him, his embarrassment would reach new heights.When the initial shock had started to subside, he had noticed that Jou seemed distant. He had first noticed when he had smiled for the blond one day at the hospital, and the teen had looked away. The second time had been when he had tried to kiss him and the blond had drawn back. It felt like it had at the beginning of their relationship, when they were coping with the years of fighting and insults. Then, at other times, the words the kidnappers had said to him started to creep into his heart, even against his wishes. Could it be true that Jou was disgusted by him? By what they had done to him? The brunette really tried to force that thought out of his mind, but sometimes, it was too difficult. And then, when the blond acted like he always had, touching him and not rejecting him as he was now, the young CEO’s mind would become confused all over again. Seto sometimes thought he was starting to lose his mind.
-----“I’m thinking about hiring a psychiatrist.”“What? Why?”“I’m not helping him, Honda. And the nightmares about the other ‘memories’ are worse than ever.”“Does Seto know about this?”The blond sighed deeply, looking toward the closed office door, as if he could look through the wood and see the brunette inside. “No, he doesn’t know. And it’s not about him, anyway; it’s about me. If I can just be the person that was with him before the kidnapping, everything will be just fine.”“Whatever you think is best, Buddy.” Honda turned serious. “There’s another subject that I want to discuss with you.”“And what is it?”“My uncle found a clue about that guy that escaped.”Jou was suddenly all business. He leaned back on the chair and looked at his friend. “That uncle that works at the police station?”
“Yeah.” The brunette held out a brown envelope and smirked lightly. “You’re lucky my uncle is not a pain in the ass. Besides, since he is the one working on Seto’s case, it’s not that difficult for me to get this information.”“Thanks Honda,” Jou said with a smile. He opened the envelope and looked through the stack of papers. As he read it, his amber eyes widened. He look up at his friend. “He’s in Tokyo.”Honda smirked even more. “I knew you would figure out, just as I did.”“It’s one of Hirutani’s contacts.” Just saying that name sent shivers down his spine.“Yes, that’s right.” Honda’s expression turned deadly serious then. “Are you thinking the same thing I did?”The blond had been thinking the exact same thing since he had seen that name on the papers. And he knew exactly what to do. He got up from the chair and put everything back in the brown envelope again. Honda got up, as well.“Jou, don’t do anything stupid, okay?”“Why are you saying this?”“Because I know you.”The blond grinned and hugged him. “Smart ass.”Honda chuckled. “Look, I have to go now. Say hi to Seto for me, okay?”“Sure.” He walked with his friend to the door, and after he watched him leave the mansion, he sighed. He went into the brunet’s office and smiled as he saw Seto talking to someone from his corporation, the blue light from his laptop giving a faint glow to the pale face. He was still a little skinny from the ordeals of the previous month.“I told you, I will return next week. Period. Now do something right for once, and just take care of everything, will you?” It was strange to hear the important CEO speaking in that tired voice.“Everything will be just as you left it, Sir,” the metallic voice answered.“Good. Now get back to work.” The teen disconnected his call from his computer, and he smiled a little wider. “Come closer; I’m not going to bite.”Jou chuckled and approached. For a second, he hesitated, and then he made a decision. He turned away from the wooden desk and instead seated himself in the lap of the brunette. He smiled, ignoring the shocked face expression, even though he could only see the azure eyes. “It’s good to see that some things are still the same. Still giving some people nightmares, Seto?”The brunette put his arms around his slim waist, and rested his face on the other’s shoulder. “That’s not true Katsuya.”The blonde laughed, but didn’t say anything else. He remembered the reaction he had had when Seto had called him by his first name right after they had left the hospital. And then how he had hurt the other with his reaction. He hugged the brunet, feeling the heat of his body, and he felt silent, thinking about what he had discovered earlier, thanks to Honda.He had to make his move, but he had to do it without Seto knowing. He would reveal his plans to the brunette in due time.I have the perfect solution for both of us, Seto.TBCWhile AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
