Chapter Five
Jounouchi
flops into his desk chair at school with a yawn. He blinks in confusion when a
newspaper section slides in front of him. “What’s this?”“It looks
like a newspaper, puppy. But shouldn’t you have been the one to fetch it?” asks
Seto as he walks past Jounouchi to reach his seat.“Shut up,
Kaiba!” exclaims Jounouchi.“Ignore
him, Jounouchi,” says Honda tapping his fingers on the paper he placed in front
of the blond, “Take a look at this!”Jounouchi
looks at the newspaper, and his eyes widen when he sees the picture on the
front page. The picture is one of himself, dressed as Suya, with Seto at the
science museum. He quickly reads the caption ‘Kaiba Seto, CEO of Kaiba Corps,
with friend visit the new space exhibit at the Domino Science Museum.’ He
swallows hard as he reads the headline of the accompanying article ‘Kaiba no
longer available?’ He takes a deep breath. “So? What do I care about Kaiba’s
love life?”Seto looks
towards Jounouchi when he hears his name.“Isn’t that
just like the boring bastard? Taking his date to a science exhibit! Talk about
a stiff!” exclaims Honda laughing, “And take a look at the girl he’s with! He
probably paid her to go with him!”Jounouchi
clenches his fists under his desk. “Shut up, Honda.”Honda only
laughs more.“What’s so
funny?” asks Yugi stepping up to the pair with their British friend, Ryou Bakura,
at his side.Honda pats
the newspaper, and Yugi pulls it from Jounouchi’s desk so both he and Ryou can
read it.Ryou gasps
when he sees the picture, and he blushes slightly.Yugi’s eyes
widen.“I thought
I told you to shut up, Honda!” exclaims Jounouchi standing up and slapping his
hand on his desk.Honda stops
laughing and looks at his apparently crazy best friend. “What’s up, Jounouchi?
I thought you would think this is funny too.”“I work for
Kaiba now… watching his brother while he’s out on his dates with that girl! And
for your information, Honda, I’ve met Kat-chan! And Kaiba couldn’t pay her
enough to go out with him!” exclaims Jounouchi, “He actually likes her! And as
much as it surprises even me, she likes him back! And I’m sure going to the
museum was probably her idea since Kaiba already went to it at the exhibit
opening, which you would know if only you’d read the sections of the newspaper
that don’t have pictures!”“I think
she’s kind of cute, actually,” says Yugi eyeing up Jounouchi before turning
towards Seto and holding up the newspaper, “Kaiba? Is this your new girlfriend?
She looks lovely.”“She is my
girlfriend, and she is lovely,” says Seto simply.“She looks
a lot like Jounouchi though,” says Ryou glancing at Jounouchi skeptically,
“Probably a coincidence.”“Completely
a coincidence,” says Seto rising from his seat to walk up and take the paper,
“I hope they didn’t write anything bad about her. She’s rather self
conscience.”“And her
name is Kat-chan?” asks Yugi.Seto nods as
he speed-reads the article. “Suya Kat. Did she give you permission to call her
Kat-chan, puppy?”Jounouchi
sticks out his tongue. “Yes, she did! Just because she insists you call her
Suya doesn’t mean she won’t allow me to call her by her first name!”Seto glares
at Jounouchi.“She won’t
let you call her Kat?” Honda laughs again.Jounouchi
grabs the collar of his friend’s uniform jacket and shakes him roughly. “No one
calls her ‘Kat’! Quit disrespecting her! You don’t even know her!”“Well,
apparently neither does Kaiba!” exclaims Honda chuckling. He sneers at Seto.“I can
handle my own fights, pup,” says Seto pulling Jounouchi’s hand away from
Honda’s collar.Jounouchi
bows his head as he steps back.“It is out
of respect for Suya that I do not call her by her first name,” says Seto
glaring fiercely at Honda, “My social standing has placed me in the same
category as a certain group of ruthless, idiotic womanizers. Until she trusts
my intentions towards her, I show her the respect she deserves. I demand that
you do the same!”“If she’s
going out with you, she doesn’t deserve any respect!” exclaims Honda.Seto
clenches his fist and prepares to swing, but a smaller fist strikes Honda’s
cheek first.“Yugi!”
exclaims Ryou fussing over the smaller boy, “Are you okay? You didn’t hurt your
hand did you?”Jounouchi
blushes slightly and smiles at Yugi.“Dammit,
Yugi! What the hell did you hit me for?” asks Honda with wide eyes as he
rubs his cheek.“I figured
I wouldn’t kill you with a single punch,” says Yugi, “but Kaiba might. Now you
will apologize to him for that remark about Suya!”“Like
hell!” exclaims Honda turning and walking away.Yugi turns
towards Seto. “I’m very sorry about that.”Seto
scoffs. He looks at Yugi and says quietly, “You called her Suya.”“Well, I
haven’t met her, so I’m not exactly a friend of hers. Until she gives me
permission to call her Kat-chan, then I will call her Suya, as you do,” says
Yugi, “I hope you’re happy with her.”Seto turns
away, but he shares a meaningful glance with Jounouchi before he resumes his
seat.“Well, it’s
nice to know you’re having fun watching Mokuba,” says Ryou as he and Yugi take
their seats.“I am
enjoying it,” says Jounouchi sitting down again.“I’m happy
for you,” whispers Yugi with a smile.Jounouchi
smiles back, but the teacher’s entrance prevents him from speaking.Ryou and
Yugi look at each other with quaint smiles before turning their attention to
the teacher who starts immediately into the day’s lecture.* * *
Jounouchi
steps into the dining room that night, and he smiles at Mokuba as he moves to
his seat across from the small brunet. “Hi, Mokuba! Did you see the picture of
me and your brother in the newspaper today?”“You two
were caught? Already?” asks Mokuba with wide eyes.“It would
seem so,” says Seto lifting his water glass to his lips.Jounouchi
pulls a folded up piece of paper from his pants pocket, and he unfolds it
before passing it to Mokuba.“You cut
out the picture from the newspaper?” asks Mokuba smiling as he looks at the
picture. “It’s not a very good angle to see who you are, but it does give you a
great view of how tightly Seto’s holding you to him!”Jounouchi
blushes and takes his picture back. He folds it and puts it back in his pocket.
“He wasn’t holding me that tight!”“Oh, I
think I was,” says Seto smiling.“Oh, fine!
Gang up on me!” exclaims Jounouchi sitting down beside Seto.“Well, you
do make it so easy,” says Mokuba.“And will
you be staying for dinner?” asks Seto.Jounouchi
blushes. “If you don’t mind…”“Actually,
I was going to call you. I spoke to an associate of mine, and there’s something
new in your closet for you to try on,” says Seto.Jounouchi
smiles happily. “You got me a new dress?”Seto looks
down at the empty plate in front of him. “No.”“Huh?”
“The
associate of mine is named Giorgio Armani,” says Seto.“Oh!”
Jounouchi’s eyes widen. “You mean you got the Armani suit for me straight from
Armani himself?”“Of course.
It has to be an original,” says Seto, “I won’t see you wearing anything less
than the best!”“I’ll try
it on after dinner,” says Jounouchi blushing.Yukia
wheels the cart containing the night’s dinner into the room. She smiles at
Jounouchi, knowing the boy before her to be the woman she’s met before. She
takes a moment to set out a place setting before the blond. “From now on I will
set a place for you automatically so I only have to do it once.”“I’m sorry.
I should have called to tell you I was coming,” says Jounouchi looking
embarrassed.“Nonsense,
sweetheart! I should have known that you would be here,” says Yukia, “After
all, you do have a voracious appetite, and I doubt you could eat your fill
anywhere but here. It must cost a fortune to feed you all the time.”Jounouchi
lowers his eyes as Yukia starts to place the covered trays onto the table.“But as
long as you enjoy my food, I don’t mind you coming here every day. I realize
that I always make too much food anyway. I never have quite gotten used to
feeding only two when my family was so much larger. I still make enough food
for a family of ten,” says Yukia pouring up the juice into everyone’s wine
glass, “And I do so miss the sound of happy children frolicking about the
house. So come by whenever you’re hungry, and I’ll make you something special.”“Thank you,
Yukia,” says Jounouchi quietly.“Besides,
with you around here so often, I never have to worry about putting leftovers
into the refrigerator! I was running out of places to put them before you
started coming to eat here.” Yukia smiles before finishing her duty and heading
out of the dining room.“She didn’t
mean to upset you,” says Seto quietly, “She only wanted you to feel at home
here.”“I do,”
whispers Jounouchi resting his head on Seto’s shoulder, “I think I feel more at
home here than I do where I live.”“Then
you’re welcome to live here as long as you want,” whispers Seto placing a small
kiss to Jounouchi’s temple.“I can’t do
that. My neighbor lady would call the cops if I never went home,” whispers
Jounouchi, “but I wouldn’t mind hanging out here if you don’t object.”“Let’s
watch a movie after dinner then,” whispers Seto, “and if you want, I could
drive you home after.”Jounouchi
smiles. “Sounds great!”“Now, would
you like to serve us, puppy?” asks Seto.Jounouchi
throws a mock glare at Seto as he stands and starts to fill both of their
plates with the wonderful smelling food.Mokuba
fills his own plate. “It’s time to eat now.”“It’s time
to eat now,” say Seto and Jounouchi as one.Mokuba
starts to talk about his day at school while they all eat and enjoy each
other’s company.After
dinner, they all move into the living room to watch a movie that Mokuba
selects.Jounouchi
cuddles up beside Seto and drifts off to sleep while the romantic movie plays
in the background.* * *
Jounouchi
wakes up in a panic and looks around him desperately for a familiar sign to
indicate his location. He sighs when he realizes that he’s in his bedroom at
the Kaiba Mansion. He looks to the nightstand, to the alarm clock placed there
for his convenience, and he sees the time is almost two-thirty in the morning.
He climbs from bed, grabs his nightgown and robe from the closet, and heads
into the bathroom to change and prepare for bed. Once he’s finished brushing
his teeth and using the toilet, he wraps the robe around his gown clad body and
leaves not only the bathroom, but his bedroom as well.Jounouchi
slips silently into Seto’s room, and he sees the brunet sleeping in the center
of the bed. He removes the robe from his body and places it over the footboard
before he moves up the side of the bed and crawls in beside Seto.Seto winds
his arms around Jounouchi and pulls him closer to his nude body. “Have problems
sleeping, Suya?”“The bed
was too lonely,” whispers Jounouchi resting his head on Seto’s shoulder and
closing his eyes, “Good night.”Seto
doesn’t respond for sleep claims its hold on him again.* * *
Every
evening that first week of October, Jounouchi has dinner with Seto and Mokuba.
Some nights, Seto drives him home so that he can sleep in his own bed, but
sometimes Jounouchi stays and sleeps in Seto’s room with him. Friday proves to
be the one exception.Yugi drops
a note on Seto’s desk as he heads out of the classroom to go to lunch. He turns
back to look at Jounouchi who still sits at his desk packing up his books. “Are
you coming to lunch, Jounouchi?”“I’ll be
there in a minute,” says Jounouchi.Seto
unfolds the note and reads the words… ‘Kaiba, if you don’t have previous
plans, you and Mokuba are more than welcome at the game shop tonight. We’re
going to order takeout and watch a movie. Please come. Suya is welcome as
well.’Jounouchi
swipes the note from Seto’s hand and reads it quickly. He smiles as he passes
it back. “Please come.”“I’ll see
what I can do,” says Seto with a small smile.“I’ll be
waiting to see you then,” says Jounouchi before heading out to go to the
cafeteria for lunch.Seto leans
back in his chair and pulls out his cell phone. He dials a number he knows by
heart, and he leaves a voice mail message, “Mokuba, I think we’ll join the
puppy and his friends for movie night this evening, so don’t eat any junk food
when you get home. We’ll have dinner with them.”As an
afterthought, Seto calls home to speak to Yukia, informing her that no one will
be home for dinner so she needn’t prepare anything. Then he relaxes and
proceeds to eat the small fruit salad he brought for his lunch and review a
contract for Kaiba Corp.Jounouchi
slips into the room a few minutes before the bell to signal the end of lunch
break, and he takes the seat in front of Seto. He smiles. “Please come…”Seto raises
an inquisitorial eyebrow. “Will I get a kiss if I show up?”Jounouchi
looks around quickly for any signs of anyone else before he gives Seto a kiss
on the cheek.“I’ll come,
but only because you said please,” says Seto, “That wasn’t too bad of a kiss
either. I’ll have to get you to give me one on the lips sometime.”Jounouchi
blushes and moves to his seat. “When I’m ready, you just might get that wish.”Yugi enters
the room with Ryou and their female companion, Anzu. He hops up to Seto’s desk.
“Do you think you and Mokuba can come?”“What movie
will you be watching?” asks Seto, “Mokuba is very impressionable you know.”“We haven’t
decided on a movie yet,” says Yugi, “We usually walk down to the shop near my
home and pick one out together.”“I’ll bring
a movie then, something suitable for a twelve year old to watch,” says Seto.“So you’re
coming?” asks Yugi with a huge smile.“Yes, we’ll
be there,” says Seto.“You know,
I’ve always wanted to watch The Little Mermaid!” exclaims
Jounouchi giggling.Ryou
chuckles. “Yeah, well… this is Finding Nemo.”“Oh, well
that sounds good too! Let’s watch that instead!” exclaims Jounouchi.Seto raises
an eyebrow.“It’s from
the DVD menu of the movie Finding Nemo,” says Yugi, “Jounouchi
thinks that’s the best part of the movie. I think he’s been looking for a
reason to use that quote all year.”“So, puppy,
would you like me to bring The Little Mermaid to Movie Night?”
asks Seto.Jounouchi
turns towards Seto. “You have it?”Seto nods.
Jounouchi’s
eyes light up with happiness. “I haven’t seen that movie in years! My
grandmother was American, and I went to visit her once… with Shizuka. She owned
the video, and we all watched it together!”“Would you
like me to bring it?” asks Seto.Jounouchi
nods quickly. “Yes!”“I’m okay
with it,” says Ryou, “I’ve never seen it before, but I’ve read the Hans
Christian Anderson tale.”“Okay, it’s
settled! We’ll watch The Little Mermaid tonight!” exclaims Anzu
taking her seat.Jounouchi
smiles and blushes as he looks at Seto.The other
students start to file into the room, and Jounouchi turns towards the front of
the room as the teacher enters and begins talking.* * *
Jounouchi
steps out of his house after changing out of his school uniform, and he gasps
at the sight he sees before him.“Come on.
Get in, puppy!” exclaims Seto as he leans against the passenger door of his
silver corvette, “We’ve come to give you a ride to the get-together!”“I wasn’t
expecting this!” exclaims Jounouchi hurrying towards them, “Does this mean I’ll
get a ride home too?”“Of
course!” exclaims Seto smiling.Jounouchi
blushes slightly and whispers, “You are a great boyfriend.”“Yes, now
get in the car,” says Seto opening the passenger door.Jounouchi
slides into the seat and looks back at Mokuba in the small backseat. “How was
your day, Mokuba?”“Boring,
but at least it’s looking up,” says Mokuba as Seto closes the door and moves
around to the driver’s seat. “It’s the weekend!”Seto starts
the engine and pulls away from the curb. “Puppy, you mentioned your grandmother
earlier today.”“Yeah,”
says Jounouchi, “She was American, but her husband was Japanese. They met when
she was an exchange student here, and they fell in love. They were never
formally married, and since her son was born here in Japan… there was a bit of
controversy with their families, and she left her son here. That was my dad.”“I didn’t
know you were part American,” says Mokuba.“I don’t
broadcast it,” says Jounouchi.“How many
times have you seen your grandmother?” asks Seto.“Only the
once,” says Jounouchi sadly, “Shizuka and I went to visit her in America. We
went to the San Francisco Zoo together. She died not even four months after we
returned to Japan. I barely even knew her, but I still cried when I heard the
news.”“I’m
sorry,” says Seto parking the car outside the Kame Game Shop.Jounouchi
shakes his head. “Don’t be! It was a long time ago! I’m over it!”“You’re
sure?” asks Seto.“It’s okay.
Sometimes things happen,” says Jounouchi, “Sometimes people die, and all the
rest of us can do is move on. I’ve moved on. Don’t worry about it.”Everyone
climbs from the car, and Mokuba carries the DVD into the shop as they all enter
together.Jounouchi
leads them through the back door, past a small supply room, and into the
kitchen before they go up the stairs into the living room. “Hey, guys! Guess
who I found?”All eyes
turn to the stairs.“Kaiba!
Mokuba! Great to see you!” exclaims Yugi, “Welcome to my home!”“Thank you
for inviting us,” says Mokuba formally.“You’re
welcome. Thank you for coming,” says Yugi.“We were
just trying to decide what kind of food we wanted for dinner,” says Ryou
sifting through a small handful of take-out menus, “Is there anything you’re
hungry for?”Honda
glares at Seto.Mokuba
walks over to Ryou and flops down on the sofa beside him so that he can see the
menus as well. “Big brother, could we have Chinese?”Seto
glances at Jounouchi and sees the blond licking his lips at the idea. “That
sounds nice to me. Any objections?”“Since when
do you just march in here and automatically rule everything?” asks Honda
snapping at Seto.“He’s not
taking charge, Honda!” exclaims Jounouchi, “And he was invited to come here,
you know!”“Not by
me!” exclaims Honda.“It’s my
home,” says Yugi narrowing his eyes at Honda, “and I invited him and you. Do
you have a problem with Kaiba being here?”Honda turns
away and clenches his jaw tight.“Chinese
sounds fine with me!” exclaims Anzu.“Great!”
exclaims Yugi grabbing a notepad and passing it to Ryou, “Place your order and
then I’ll call it in!”“Don’t
bother,” says Seto pulling out his cell phone. He takes the menu from Ryou and
dials the phone number. After a moment, he begins speaking in Chinese. Then he
shuts his phone.Mokuba
smiles at Seto. “So, how long do we have to wait for them to deliver their
entire stock of food?”“It is not
their entire stock of food,” says Seto, “I only ordered two of everything on
the menu. If I’d ordered seven of everything on the menu it would probably be
their entire stock of food.” He smirks slightly when he sees the wide eyes
looking at him. “And they said they’ll have the food here in forty-five
minutes. It’s a large order after all.”“I
certainly don’t have enough money to pay a sixth of that,” says Yugi.“I didn’t
say you needed to pay. I’ve already paid for it,” says Seto.“Yeah. He
gave them his credit card number over the phone,” says Mokuba.“You didn’t
have to pay for everyone, Kaiba,” says Yugi.“We
normally split the cost of dinner,” says Ryou.Seto waves
them off. “I have more than enough money to pay for a few measly meals.”“Where’s
Suya? Couldn’t she come with you?” asks Anzu changing the subject away from the
fact that a billionaire stands in the room with them, “I was sort of looking
forward to meeting her.”“She
couldn’t come. I believe she said she has to baby-sit her little sibling,” says
Seto.“She has a
younger brother too, doesn’t she?” asks Jounouchi catching Seto’s eye.Seto nods.
“Yes. A brother. I think she has a sister too… or else that was a cousin, I
don’t remember what exactly her words were.”“She could
have brought them along,” says Yugi, “We would have welcomed them.”Honda
scoffs.“I’m not so
sure all of you would have,” says Seto glaring at Honda.“Honda,
quit being a prick!” exclaims Anzu noticing Seto’s glance.“Should we
put in the movie now?” asks Mokuba.“We usually
play a game until the food arrives and then watch the movie while we eat,” says
Ryou.“Okay,”
says Mokuba, “What game should we play?”Yugi sits
down beside Ryou. “Any suggestions?”“Truth or
dare,” says Honda.“Go fish,”
says Jounouchi.“You know
where the cards are, Jounouchi,” says Yugi wrapping his arm around Ryou.Jounouchi
hurries to the curio cabinet to pull out the deck of cards while Seto sits down
in the only available chair, Honda having already taken up the other one while
Anzu sits on a cushion on the floor. He returns to the group while shuffling
the cards, and he sits down in front of Seto’s chair. “Everyone in?”“Yep!”
exclaims Anzu.Jounouchi
starts to deal out the cards.“We should
call out the person who we want to get cards from,” says Yugi, “To prolong the
game until dinner gets here, and the person who has the most matches when
dinner gets here is automatically the winner!”Everyone
nods.Jounouchi
passes the hand of cards to Seto before taking his own hand.“And we
should go clockwise, starting with the youngest,” says Ryou, “Mokuba, you’re up
first.”Everyone
lifts their hands and looks at them.“Okay,
Anzu, do you have any threes?” asks Mokuba.“Go fish,
Mokuba,” says the brown-haired girl.Mokuba
reaches out to the center of the table and draws a card to put into his hand.“Anzu, do
you have any Queens?” asks Ryou.“Yep,” says
Anzu passing a card to Ryou.“Thank
you,” says Ryou, “Kaiba, do you have any sixes?”Seto
blushes slightly when he hears the British accent sound more like ‘sex’ than
‘six’. “Sorry… no.”Ryou draws
a card and places it in his hand.“Mokuba, do
you have any threes?” asks Yugi smiling.“Drat!”
exclaims Mokuba passing a card to Yugi.“Thank
you,” says Yugi, “Honda, do you have any threes?”“Go fish,”
says Honda.Yugi draws
a card to go into his hand.“Jounouchi,
do you have any nines?” asks Seto.“You’re not
looking at my cards, are you?” replies Jounouchi turning back to look at Seto.Seto
smirks. “Do you think I would cheat?”Jounouchi
pulls two cards from his hand and passes them to Seto. “Yeah. I think if you
believed it was the only way to win, you would cheat.”“I’m not
looking at your hand,” says Seto, “Ryou, do you have any nines?”Ryou pulls
a card from his hand and passes it to Seto. “There you go.”Seto places
the three cards together with the one he already had in his hand. “Anzu, do you
have any Jacks?”Anzu shakes
her head. “Go fish.”“Puppy,
will you pass me a card?” asks Seto.Jounouchi
lifts a card from the deck and passes it to Seto.“Thank you,
puppy,” says Seto.“Okay,
Mokuba, do you have any twos?” asks Jounouchi.“Go fish!”
exclaims Mokuba smiling.Jounouchi
draws a card, and his cheeks tint red when he sees it’s the Queen of Hearts. He
tucks it into his hand and uses his other cards to cover it.“Yugi, do
you have any tens?” asks Anzu.Yugi passes
a card to Anzu. “Here you go.”“Okay,
Honda, do you have any tens?” asks Anzu.“Go fish,”
says Honda.Anzu draws
a card and places it in her hand.Honda
glares at Seto. “Kaiba, do you have any Aces?”Seto glares
in return. “Go fish.”Honda draws
a card.“Okay,
Seto, do you have any sevens?” asks Mokuba.Seto pulls
a card from his hand and passes it to his younger brother.“Jounouchi,”
says Mokuba with a mischievous smirk.“Yes,
Mokuba?” asks Jounouchi shifting nervously.“Do you
have sex?” asks Mokuba.Seto’s eyes
widen when he hears the words come from Mokuba’s mouth.“Dammit,
how did you know I drew a six? Were you peeking?” asks Jounouchi grabbing a
card and passing it over to Mokuba. He blushes.Mokuba frowns
when he looks at the card to find it’s a four instead of a six. “Ryou, do you
have a six?”Ryou passes
a card to Mokuba.“Okay,
Yugi, do you have a six?”“Sorry,
Mokuba. Go fish,” says Yugi.Mokuba
draws a card.“Anzu, do
you have any eights?” asks Ryou.“Go fish.”
Anzu smiles sweetly.Ryou draws
a card.“Mokuba, do
you have any fives?” asks Yugi.“Go fish,”
says Mokuba, and Yugi draws a card.“Honda, do
you have any Kings?” asks Seto.Honda looks
at his cards for several long seconds, which turn quickly into a minute before
he glares at Seto. “Go fish.”“Puppy, a
card please?” asks Seto.Jounouchi
draws a card and passes it to Seto who places it in his hand.“Honda, do
you have any Kings?” asks Jounouchi quickly.“For you,
yes,” says Honda passing a card to the blond.“Hey!
That’s cheating!” exclaims Mokuba.“Whatever,”
says Honda glaring at Seto.“Honda!
That is no way to treat a friend!” exclaims Anzu.“Kaiba
isn’t exactly a friend of ours though, is he?” asks Honda, “He’s just here
because his brother is our friend!”“That’s not
true!” exclaims Yugi.“Here,
Kaiba,” says Jounouchi passing three cards to Seto, “These would have been
yours if he wasn’t being biased.”“Puppy…
these are yours,” says Seto.“You’re my
friend,” says Jounouchi, “Take the cards.”“Thank
you,” says Seto taking the cards. He spreads them apart to see the King of
Diamonds, the King of Hearts, and the Queen of Hearts nestled in between the
two Kings. He raises an eyebrow at Jounouchi. “Puppy?”“Um… I
think it’s still my turn,” says Jounouchi, “if you guys would all stop
fighting.”Ryou, Anzu,
Mokuba, and Yugi quit yelling at Honda and turn towards Jounouchi blushing
slightly. They mumble a quiet apology.Jounouchi
looks at the single card in his hand. “Does anybody have a two?”Seto
immediately draws one from his hand and passes it to Jounouchi.Jounouchi
smiles at Seto. “Thank you.”Yugi shrugs
his shoulders. “Go fish?”When no one
else offers up any cards, Jounouchi draws a card and tucks it with his pair of
twos.Anzu chews
on her lip while she shuffles the cards in her hands. She jumps up happily and
drops her cards when she hears the doorbell ring. “Dinner’s here! Game’s over!
I’ll go tip the delivery boy!”Seto pulls
out his wallet and removes a bill that he passes to Anzu. “You’ll need that.”“Thanks!”
exclaims Anzu running down the stairs with a call of “I’m coming” to the
delivery boy.Mokuba
shows everyone his pair of sixes and his pair of sevensRyou
reveals his pair of Queens.Everyone lays
down their hands to see that Seto is the clear winner with not only a trio of
Kings, but also a complete set of nines.“Congratulations,
jerk!” exclaims Honda getting up and heading out of the room.“I’m so
sorry!” exclaims Yugi, “I had no idea he would be this way towards you! I don’t
know what’s wrong with him!”“It’s okay,
Yugi,” says Seto.“No, it’s
not,” says Yugi looking in the direction Honda went in.“Let’s not
let this ruin the evening,” says Seto, “In a minute, Anzu will be back with our
dinner, and we’ll put in the movie. We’ll just eat and watch the movie in
silence, and when it’s over, Mokuba and I will leave and go home. I’m sure that
will at least make someone here happy.”“Not me,”
mumbles Jounouchi.Ryou and
Yugi share a glance.“You
shouldn’t have to leave just because one person doesn’t want you to be where
you are,” says Ryou, “If Yugi and I did that, we’d never have a date.”Seto raises
an eyebrow. “You two are dating?”Yugi’s eyes
widen.“You didn’t
know that?” asks Ryou aghast.Yugi slips
into Ryou’s arms. “It doesn’t bother you, does it?”“I actually
would have pictured you with the puppy before Ryou, but to each his own,” says
Seto.Yugi’s jaw
drops. “You’re not surprised about us being gay, but you’re surprised about our
choice of boyfriends?”“With the
number of men and women coming out of the closet these days, your preferences
don’t surprise me,” says Seto, “but I figured Jounouchi would be your first
choice for a date. You’re already so close as it is.”Yugi blushes,
and Ryou squeezes him tighter.Jounouchi
blushes and buries his head in his hands.“I love
Jounouchi as a best friend, but he’s just not what I look for in a boyfriend,”
says Yugi.“Hey!”
exclaims Jounouchi sending a mock glare at Yugi.Yugi ignores
his best friend and meets Seto’s gaze. “Jounouchi’s strong and tough, but I
prefer a boyfriend to be sweet and gentle.”“Ah,” says
Seto.“I’m going
to go see what’s taking Anzu so long with the food!” exclaims Mokuba getting up
and heading down the stairs.“I know
it’s really none of our business,” says Ryou, “but is there something going on
between you two?”“Huh?” asks
Jounouchi raising his head to look at his two friends with wide eyes.“Maybe it’s
nothing, but you’re being… out of character for yourselves. I hope the change
I’m seeing is just because you two are becoming friends, but I’m just
wondering… is there something more to your relationship?”“You’re
imagining things. I’m dating Suya. I’m not about to risk my relationship with
her by pursuing someone else,” says Seto, “I don’t want to lose her. She’s
certainly something special.”“You really
care about her, don’t you?” asks Jounouchi turning to look at Seto.Seto smiles
slightly. “I do.”Jounouchi
blushes.“Hey,
dinner is here!” exclaims Mokuba walking up with Anzu and several bags of
takeout food.Honda comes
back into the room with the accompanying sound of a toilet flushing. He takes
his seat again and stares blatantly at the floor.- 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.
