The Night Innocence
Died
By Hideki LaShae
Chapter Five
The two
boys continue their game for hours.
“Blue Eyes,
I’m getting hungry. Can we stop?” asks Katsuya.
“If you
want, Honey,” says Seto, “You win.” He pulls his helmet off.
Katsuya
removes his helmet and shakes his head. “I only won because you let me!”
“I’ve never
let anyone win before now. I’ve also never taught a teaching game before,” says
Seto, “There have been a lot of firsts for me today,” He smiles at Katsuya.
‘And maybe tonight will be the night of my first kiss!’
Katsuya
smiles as Seto turns the computer off.
Seto opens
the door beneath the computer and places his helmet inside. He quickly removes
his gloves and boots and sets them inside. “Did you enjoy it?”
Katsuya
walks over to Seto and passes him the helmet. He removes his gloves and boots
while Seto puts the helmet away. “This was fun!”
“I’m glad
you enjoyed it,” says Seto putting the other items away. He looks at his watch.
“Yes… you should be hungry. It’s lunchtime now. You missed your mid-morning
snack.”
“Come on!
Let’s go have lunch!” exclaims Katsuya smiling.
Seto closes
the door and steps up beside Katsuya, placing his arm around the blond’s
shoulders as he moves. “I’ll lead the way.”
Katsuya and
Seto head down to the dining room where Mokuba sits enjoying his soup and
salad.
“Hey, big
brother! Jou! I tried to find you! Where were you?” asks Mokuba.
“We were
playing chess,” says Katsuya sitting down at the table, “Seto let me win!”
“He let you
win?” asks Mokuba in shock as Katsuya places some salad on his plate. He raises
his eyebrows at Seto. “Really?”
Seto sits
down after dishing himself a bowl of soup and one for Katsuya. “It was his
first time playing chess.”
Mokuba
smiles. “So… what are you going to be doing after lunch? We could go swimming
in the pool!”
“Shouldn’t
we wait an hour after eating?” asks Katsuya in between bites.
“Well…
yeah, but you could help me with my art project!” exclaims Mokuba slyly, “I
need a model!”
“Well… as
long as it’s not nude, I don’t mind,” says Katsuya. He lifts his bowl of soup
and drinks the broth before eating the noodles and vegetables.
“Fine,
we’ll model for your art project,” says Seto nodding as he eats.
“Great!
I’ll try to make it quick!” exclaims Mokuba. He hurries to finish his lunch.
“I’ll meet you by the pool!”
Katsuya
pushes his salad plate away as Mokuba leaves the dining room. “I have to take
my medicine before we meet Mokuba at the pool.”
“He is up
to something,” says Seto glancing at the door, “He’s never asked me to model
for him before.” He finishes his soup and helps himself to the last of
Katsuya’s salad.
“Does he
get good grades?” asks Katsuya.
“Mokuba’s
marks are just above average. He usually gets straight B’s,” says Seto, “except
he always aces art.”
Katsuya
stands up. “I’m going to go take my medicine.”
“I’m done.
I’ll go with you,” says Seto standing and setting his fork down, “I don’t want
you getting lost!” He holds out his hand towards Katsuya.
Katsuya
blushes as Seto leads him up to his room, and the brunet watches as Katsuya
takes his pill with water from a pitcher on the nightstand.
“Mokuba
won’t put us in some embarrassing pose, will he?” asks Katsuya moving back to
Seto’s side and blushing.
“He’d
better not,” says Seto, “If you feel uncomfortable with it, we can tell him
no.”
Katsuya
smiles and hugs Seto quickly. “Lead the way?”
“I should
get you a leash since I lead you everywhere, puppy,” says Seto chuckling as he
squeezes Katsuya close to him.
Katsuya
relaxes and rests his head against Seto’s shoulder.
‘We fit so
perfectly together. Can’t we stay like this forever?’ thinks Seto.
“Mokuba’s
waiting,” says Katsuya stepping away from Seto, “Let’s go.”
Seto leads
Katsuya down to the pool.
Mokuba sits
in a patio chair with his sketchpad. His art case lies open on the deck beside
him. He looks up when he hears Seto and Katsuya approach. “Great! You’re here!”
“Okay,
Mokie… Where do you want us?” asks Seto.
Mokuba sets
his sketchpad down and jumps up energetically. He smiles secretively.
“I do not
like that look,” says Seto.
“Seto, I
want you seated here,” says Mokuba moving to a lounge chair in the sunlight.
Seto walks
to the chair and sits down.
“Okay,
Jou,” says Mokuba waving the blond over.
Katsuya
swallows hard and walks over. “Now what?”
“Don’t
worry! I’ll move you into position,” says Mokuba smiling. He helps Katsuya sit
down on Seto’s lap and lean backwards so his back rests against Seto’s chest.
He moves Katsuya’s head so he looks up at Seto. “Okay, big brother, wrap your
arms around him and look down into his eyes!”
Seto looks
down into Katsuya’s eyes and wraps his arms around him. “Is everything okay,
Jou?”
“Uh-huh,”
says Katsuya sighing with content.
“Comfortable?”
asks Mokuba.
Katsuya and
Seto continue to stare into each other’s eyes. Neither one speaks, for at a
moment like this, words are not necessary.
Mokuba
walks beside them and moves their legs so that one of Katsuya’s legs rests in
between Seto’s and the other, bent at the knee, crosses over Seto’s leg on the
attached footrest. Then he takes Katsuya’s hands, placing the left one over
Seto’s right hand and his right hand on Seto’s hip. “Okay! Now can you two stay
like that for awhile?”
“Uh-huh,”
says Katsuya.
Seto
smiles.
“Perfect!”
exclaims Mokuba running back over to his chair, “Don’t move!” He lifts his
sketchpad into his lap and grabs his pencil from his art kit. He looks at Seto
and Katsuya and starts to draw the rough outline.
‘I could
kiss him right now. He looks like he would enjoy it, and Mokuba would probably
appreciate the different perspective for his drawing,’ thinks Seto.
‘I could
stay like this forever! I like it here… in his arms… staring into his eyes… He
smells so good! I love you, Seto!’ thinks Katsuya.
Mokuba’s
hands work as quickly as they can to create the portrait. He smiles. ‘They
didn’t object to this position so they must be dating! I never knew Seto was
gay! I wonder why he had that Playboy stuffed under his mattress then?’
Katsuya and
Seto relax in the sunlight and stare into each other’s eyes for hours.
“Okay! You
can move now!” exclaims Mokuba wiping his brow, “I finished except for adding
some color!” He sets down his pencil and lifts two different colored pencils.
He carefully adds the blue color to Seto’s eyes and the soft brown to Katsuya’s
eyes. He glances at the teenaged boys and notices that they still have yet to
move an inch. “Earth to Seto! I’m all done! You guys can move now!”
Katsuya
blinks and moves his head to break the gaze he shares with Seto.
Seto looks
up at Mokuba.
“What were
you two thinking about that got you so lost in each other’s eyes?” asks Mokuba
smiling, “You didn’t even hear me tell you I was done; you were so distracted!”
Katsuya
blushes. “I was thinking about…”
“Dinner
probably,” says Seto hearing Katsuya’s stomach growl.
“Yeah!”
exclaims Katsuya smiling, but he thinks, ‘So I was actually thinking about
Seto’s body, and a few things that I used to want to do with him. Part of me
still wants to feel him inside me, more than just his hand… but the rest of me
remembers him forcing me into that position. I’m so confused. Love-hate.
Desire-repulsion. There’s a fine line between them. They blur together to
become unrecognizable!’
“And you,
big brother?” asks Mokuba.
Seto
blushes. “I was mentally fixing a glitch in the new computer game I’m working
on.”
“Oh,” says
Katsuya with a disappointed sigh.
“Mokie will
never know what I was really thinking of,” whispers Seto.
Katsuya
slowly moves out of Seto’s arms and stands. He falls to his knees.
“Jou!”
exclaims Seto moving to his side quickly.
Katsuya
looks at Seto sheepishly. “My legs are asleep!”
Seto
laughs.
“Well, this
is your picture,” says Mokuba carrying his sketchpad over for them to see his
drawing.
“Um… wow!
That’s really great, Mokuba!” exclaims Katsuya looking wide-eyed at the drawing
which somehow seems to capture his love for Seto perfectly.
“That
really is beautiful,” says Seto, “Mokie… who exactly would be seeing this?”
“My entire
art class!” exclaims Mokuba smiling.
“No!”
exclaims Katsuya, “You can’t show them this! It makes me look gay!”
Seto hides
his smirk behind his hand.
“Oh… okay,”
says Mokuba, “I’ll draw something else for my class.”
“Thanks,
Mokuba,” says Katsuya.
Seto looks
at his watch. “We have plans this evening, Mokuba, so Jou and I will not be
having dinner with you.”
“I’m glad
to see you two are friends now,” says Mokuba, “Have fun tonight!” He starts
packing up his art supplies.
Seto stands
and helps Katsuya to his feet. “Are you okay, Jou?”
“Yes,
Seto,” says Katsuya.
“Let’s go
get something to eat,” says Seto helping Katsuya into the house, “Eat in or
dine out?”
“You
choose,” says Katsuya turning bright red.
“We’ll go
out then,” says Seto leading Katsuya to the coat closet near the front door. He
opens the closet and pulls out a light jacket, placing it over Katsuya’s
shoulders. “It’s supposed to be a warm night, but the weather is often
unpredictable.”
“Thank
you…”
Seto closes
the door without getting a jacket of his own.
“Don’t you
think you might get cold?” asks Katsuya.
“If I do,
you can keep me warm,” says Seto leading Katsuya out to his Jaguar. ‘I can’t
believe I just said that out loud!’
“What were
you thinking about out there by the pool?” asks Katsuya as Seto opens the
passenger door for him. He climbs in, and Seto closes the door.
‘You. It
was all you, puppy. Your eyes… your lips… a few other parts of your
anatomy… mingling with a few parts of mine, but just because I want to have sex
with you doesn’t mean I’m gay,’ thinks Seto moving around to the driver’s seat.
He climbs in and starts the engine. “I was thinking about you. Now please leave
it at that.”
“Good
enough,” says Katsuya.
Seto drives
them to a high-class restaurant. He glares at the valet as he climbs from the
car, but he allows the man to drive it away after Katsuya climbs from the
passenger seat. He opens the door for his unofficial date.
Katsuya
walks in and leads Seto up to the Maitre D’.
“Seto
Kaiba. Party of two,” says Seto glaring at the Maitre D’.
“Yes, of
course! We’ve been expecting you, Mr. Kaiba,” says the woman bowing, “Right
this way please!” She leads Seto and Katsuya to a quiet corner booth with an
excellent view of the ocean through its large windows. “Here you are, sir. Is
there anything I can get for you right away?”
“A bottle
of cider,” says Seto.
“Yes, sir,
Mr. Kaiba,” says the woman before heading off.
“Cider?”
asks Katsuya sitting down.
“Apple
cider. It’s just a sparkling apple juice,” says Seto sliding into a seat.
“This view
is amazing!” exclaims Katsuya looking out the window.
Seto smirks
as he looks over Katsuya’s body. “It certainly is!”
Katsuya
sits down close to Seto. “So… what’s good here?”
“Would you
like me to order for you?” asks Seto.
Katsuya
nods.
Seto
smiles.
* * *
The entire time
they sit in the movie theater watching the romantic comedy, Katsuya leans
against Seto, and Seto has his arm draped over Katsuya’s shoulders to keep him
warm in the chilled theater. Should anyone see them, they might think they were
just two lovers enjoying a peaceful date, and both boys wish that were the
case.
They head
home after the movie, stopping for ice cream on the way, and they talk as they
return to Katsuya’s bedroom.
“I had a
wonderful time, Seto,” says Katsuya, “Thank you!”
“We should
do this again, Jou. It was fun,” says Seto.
“What about
tomorrow?”
“I’ve been
neglecting my work. I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to spend much time with you
tomorrow,” says Seto hanging his head.
“I
understand. Kaiba Corp is your life,” says Katsuya with a sad sigh, “It’s much
more important than a worthless mutt like me!”
“You aren’t
worthless, Jou. You’ve never been worthless,” says Seto, “I don’t want to go to
work! I’d much rather spend the day with you, but I have to do this!”
Katsuya
walks up to the edge of his bed and sits down. He gets a pill from his medicine
bottle and swallows it with a cup of water.
“Get
undressed, and I’ll apply your ointment,” says Seto, “Puppy… are you upset that
I won’t be able to spend time with you tomorrow?”
“I’m not upset,
Seto! I really do understand that you have to work! It’s just that… I want to
see you tomorrow. Could you at least eat with me?” replies Katsuya.
Seto
smiles. “Of course!”
Katsuya
stands up and removes his shoes and pants.
Seto raises
an eyebrow at the black bikini briefs that make his puppy look so enticing. He
walks up to the nightstand and pulls out the ointment.
“No gloves
tonight?” asks Katsuya as he pulls off the briefs and lies down on his stomach
in bed.
“Just me
tonight,” says Seto starting to massage the ointment into Katsuya’s opening.
Katsuya
relaxes as Seto thrusts two of his fingers in and out of his body. He starts
moaning enjoyably and clinging to the sheets beneath him.
“Enjoy it
while you can. Soon I won’t need to do this anymore,” whispers Seto, “Your body
is healing nicely, but how about your heart?”
“My heart
will need help,” whispers Katsuya. He moans.
“I’m
willing to help you,” whispers Seto. He finally withdraws his fingers from
Katsuya’s body.
“I’m tired
now,” says Katsuya, “I’m going to get some sleep.”
“Good
night, Jou,” says Seto kissing his forehead, “I’ll see you in the morning for
breakfast. I really did have a good time with you today.”
Katsuya
smiles. “Good night, Seto.”
Seto puts
the ointment back in the nightstand drawer and heads out to his own room. He
enters the bathroom to wash off any remains of the medicine from his hands. He
looks at his reflection in the mirror. He’s surprised to see how happy he
looks. He walks out into his bedroom and sits down at his desk. He works for a
few hours and turns his computer off just after midnight. He stands and
stretches.
Seto pulls
off his clothing and dumps it into his laundry basket in the bathroom. He pulls
on his bathrobe over his boxer shorts and grabs a towel, heading out of his
room and down to the heated pool. He looks at the full moon as he drops his
towel on a patio chair. He removes his robe and boxers and sets them in the
chair with his towel. Then he moves to dive into the warm water of the pool. ‘I
wish I could get my puppy down here with me.’
Katsuya
walks out to the pool, shivering in his blue pajamas. He trembles as he looks
around. “Seto?”
Seto stops
his lap and treads water while he looks all around him. He sees the shaking
blond standing near the other end of the pool. “Jou?”
Katsuya
looks into the water and spots Seto. He falls to his knees crying. “Seto!”
Seto swims
as quickly as he can back towards Katsuya. He pulls himself from the water and
moves over to Katsuya pulling him into his arms as they kneel on the cool deck.
“Jou? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
“I had a
terrible nightmare!” exclaims Katsuya sobbing into Seto’s bare chest as he
wraps his arms around the wet waist before him.
“It’s okay,
Jou! It was just a dream. Calm down and tell me all about it,” says Seto
rubbing Katsuya’s back.
Katsuya
takes a deep breath, but he continues to shake in Seto’s arms. “We had a huge
fight, and you kicked me out! Then I went home, and my dad was drunk… He
attacked me and tried to rape me! Principal Xi-lang found out I wasn’t living
here anymore, and he expelled me! And I was starving again! I can’t afford to
be expelled! I’m not a genius like you, Seto! I need a good education if I even
want to stand a chance of improving my situation!”
“Oh, puppy…
don’t worry,” says Seto, “I won’t let anything like that happen to you. I’ll
protect you, and I would never kick you out. I couldn’t do that to you!” He
holds Katsuya tightly and caresses him soothingly.
“Uh, Seto…
do you realize you’re naked?” Katsuya blushes.
“Yes… I
have been swimming,” says Seto blushing. He feels Katsuya shiver. “Are you
cold?”
“It’s
chilly out here,” says Katsuya.
“The
water’s warm if you want to join me for a swim,” suggests Seto.
Katsuya
turns bright red, and he nods his head.
Seto pulls
away from Katsuya and pulls the button-up shirt over his head, dropping it
behind the blond.
Katsuya
stands up so he can remove his pants, but Seto’s hands slide the fabric down
his legs before he has the chance to remove them. He blushes when he sees the
man he loves kneeling in front of his nude body.
Seto licks
his lips as he looks at Katsuya’s body. He helps Katsuya’s feet out of the
pants before he stands up. “Come on… into the water where it’s warm.”
Katsuya
lets Seto guide him to the edge of the pool. “Seto…?”
“Yes, Jou?”
Seto descends the stairs into the pool and holds out his hand to help Katsuya
into the water.
Katsuya
takes Seto’s hand and walks into the warm water. He looks into Seto’s eyes as
they stand in the shallow end of the pool. “Have you ever been in love?”
Seto stares
back into Katsuya’s eyes. “Yes. I’m in love now.”
“Lucky
girl. You’re quite a catch… well, if you’re even half as nice to her as you
have been to me that is,” says Katsuya.
“Who said
it was a girl who stole my heart?”
“You mean…
you love a guy? I thought you were straight!” exclaims Katsuya with wide eyes.
Seto sits
down on the steps. “I will not admit to being gay.”
“If you
aren’t gay, why do you love a guy?”
“Perhaps
I’m bisexual,” says Seto seeing Katsuya rub his arms. He grabs Katsuya’s wrist
and pulls him into his lap.
Katsuya
blushes as the warm water engulfs him almost to his shoulders. “This water is
really warm.”
“What made
you think of that stupid questionnaire now?” asks Seto wrapping his arms around
Katsuya’s waist.
“My dream…
the argument we had… We were fighting because of the people we love,” says
Katsuya. ‘We were fighting because I told you how I feel about you.’
“We
wouldn’t fight about something like that,” says Seto smiling, “You have the
right to love anyone you want.”
“Could you
kiss me? I always feel better when you do,” whispers Katsuya.
“On the
lips?” asks Seto raising his eyebrows, “Are you asking for your first real
kiss?” His heart pounds hopefully.
Katsuya
blushes. “The cheek is fine.”
Seto kisses
Katsuya’s cheek.
“Thank
you,” says Katsuya leaning against Seto’s chest, “I feel better now.”
Seto
tightens his arms around Katsuya. “You’re welcome.”
“Seto… do
you realize that we’re both naked, and I’m sitting on your lap?” asks Katsuya.
“It doesn’t
bother me.”
“Okay.”
“Perhaps we
should go back inside to bed,” says Seto rubbing Katsuya’s skin, “Perhaps if I
sleep with you tonight, you won’t have any more nightmares.”
Katsuya
blushes. “Okay.”
Seto helps
Katsuya stand before he rises.
Both boys
climb from the pool.
Seto lifts
his towel and quickly dries Katsuya’s body before wrapping his warm bathrobe
around the blond’s exposed skin. He dries himself off and slips his boxers on.
He quickly lifts Katsuya’s clothing from the deck. “Let’s go in!”
Seto and
Katsuya head back inside and up to Katsuya’s room.
Seto dumps
Katsuya’s clothes and his towel into the basket in the bathroom.
Katsuya
removes the robe and lets it fall to the floor. He stands there for a moment,
wondering if he should put something on.
Seto
emerges from the bathroom, having left his boxers in the basket of laundry.
Katsuya
looks at Seto and blushes. He climbs into bed.
Seto turns
the lights off before he also climbs into the bed. He slides towards the middle
of the bed. “Come closer, Jou.”
Katsuya
slides up against Seto. He swallows hard. “What do you want now?”
‘I want to
make love to you, but you’re not emotionally ready for that,’ thinks Seto
wrapping his arms around Katsuya. “I’m not going to hurt you, puppy. Now let’s
just get comfortable and go to sleep.”
Katsuya
wraps his arms around Seto. “I thought you might have been trying to take
advantage of me.”
“I would
never force you to have sex with me,” says Seto as Katsuya rests his head on
his shoulder, “You mean too much to me.”
“What was
that?” asks Katsuya lifting his head to look at Seto’s face. He sees the closed
eyes and smiles as he sets his head back down. “Good night, Blue Eyes.”
“Good
night, Honey,” whispers Seto.
Katsuya closes
his eyes.
* * *
Seto wakes
up first, entangled in the arms and legs of the blond haired teen. He blushes
as he realizes Katsuya’s lying on top of him instead of beside him. He whispers
quietly, “I love you.”
Katsuya
shifts his position. He feels the warm body beneath him, and he snaps awake. He
looks down at Seto with wide eyes. “Seto? What happened last night?”
“We went
swimming and then came back here to sleep,” says Seto, “We didn’t do anything!”
Katsuya
blushes as he lifts himself off Seto and rolls to his side of the bed.
“How did
you get on top of me?” asks Seto sitting up.
Katsuya
shrugs. “Sorry. I’m sorry. I don’t remember moving.”
Seto
smiles. “Don’t worry about it.”
“We should
get dressed and go have breakfast,” says Katsuya.
“There’s
still the matter of your medication,” says Seto climbing from the bed. He walks
around and lifts his robe. He slips it on and closes it around himself.
Katsuya
rolls onto his stomach. “Let’s make it quick this morning. I’m hungry.”
Seto gets the
ointment out and he quickly massages it around and inside the opening.
Katsuya
sighs. “That’s enough… I don’t want to enjoy this too much. Soon you won’t need
to do it at all.”
“And you
don’t want to be addicted to the way it makes you feel. I understand,” says
Seto withdrawing his two fingers, “I’ll go get dressed and join you downstairs
for breakfast.”
Katsuya
nods.
Seto heads
to his room and hops into the shower. He lets the cold water run over his body
as he washes himself. He dries himself off as he leaves the bathroom, and he
gets dressed quickly in a pair of black dress pants and a black turtleneck. He
heads down to the dining room.
Katsuya
sits at the table in a pair of dark blue jeans and a laced-up black leather
vest. He smiles when he sees Seto. “So did you sleep well?”
“Very
well,” says Seto, “And you?” He sits down and takes a banana nut muffin. He
notices the mostly uneaten muffin on Katsuya’s plate.
“I’ve never
slept so well in my life,” says Katsuya looking down at his plate.
“Is something
wrong, Jou? You’re not eating,” says Seto.
“I’ve just
been thinking,” says Katsuya, “I’m alright.” He takes a bite of his muffin and
chews it up.
“What were
you thinking about?” asks Seto.
“My life,”
says Katsuya.
“I don’t
want you to leave,” says Seto taking a bite of his muffin.
“What?”
“After the
two weeks are over… I don’t want you to leave,” says Seto, “You can stay here
with Mokie and I.”
“Why would
you do that for me?” asks Katsuya.
“I want you
to be healthy and happy. I can’t ensure either if you’re not here with me,”
says Seto, “Agree to stay with me please. Let me help you to heal.”
“All
right,” says Katsuya, “I’ll stay.”
Seto smiles
and nods. “Thank you.”
Katsuya
tears into his muffin hungrily.
“So what do
you plan to do today?” asks Seto eating his own muffin.
“I was
going to head out to the arcade to hang with Yug’ and the gang. Do you mind if
Mokuba comes with me?” asks Katsuya.
“Not at
all. Have fun!” exclaims Seto.
Katsuya
smiles.
Seto and
Katsuya finish eating in silence and head off in separate directions.
* * *
“So I hear
Seto’s birthday is coming up soon,” says Katsuya as he sits in the limo with
Mokuba.
“Yeah! I
haven’t got him a present yet! He’s getting harder to shop for as he gets
older. I mean, if there’s something he wants, he usually gets it himself,” says
Mokuba, “Do you have any ideas?”
“Well… I do
have one, but I don’t know if you could do it,” says Katsuya.
“What is
it?” asks Mokuba happily.
“He told me
he’s in love. He wouldn’t say with who, just that… he’s bisexual and the person
he loves is a guy,” says Katsuya as Mokuba smiles in understanding, “Maybe if
you could find out who he’s in love with… if you think you could do it… maybe
you could make a painting of him and his love… if you could do it without
having Seto pose that is.”
“That
sounds like a wonderful idea!” exclaims Mokuba, “I’m sure I can get the
information out of him somehow!”
Katsuya
smiles. “I was also thinking we could get a nice frame for it and maybe have a
small party for him… or at least a special birthday dinner with a cake.”
“Seto
wouldn’t go for a party, but we could surprise him with a birthday dinner and a
cake!” exclaims Mokuba, “I think he’d enjoy that! Especially if you were
there!”
“I’ll be
there!” exclaims Katsuya.
“Great!
What are you planning on giving Seto?” asks Mokuba.
“I’m still
thinking. I have a few ideas, but I don’t know if they’re any good or not.
Maybe I’ll tell you later,” says Katsuya looking out the tinted window, “We’re
almost to the arcade!”
“Okay!
We’ll talk about the birthday dinner on the way home! I don’t even know what
Seto’s favorite cake is!” exclaims Mokuba, “We hardly ever have cake, and I
usually eat most of it!”
“Maybe a
Black Forest Cake then,” says Katsuya, “That’s my favorite! I love the
cherries!”
“Sounds
good enough for me!” exclaims Mokuba.
“Good,”
says Katsuya happily.
* * *
Seto and
Katsuya sit at the dinner table together, enjoying a pleasant silence as they
eat.
“I went by
to see Dr. Takanai after meeting everyone at the arcade,” says Katsuya quite
suddenly.
Seto’s
eyebrows raise and his eyes widen. “What did he say?”
“He gave me
a clean bill of health,” says Katsuya, “I don’t need any of the medicine
any more. He said I’m healed. It doesn’t feel that way.”
“Are you
still in pain?” asks Seto.
“Not
physical pain, but I have scars that may never heal,” says Katsuya.
“Would you
like to talk about it?” asks Seto, “About that night? We never really have, and
sometimes talking about something can shine a whole new light on it.”
“Not over
dinner,” says Katsuya sticking a bite of his chicken into his mouth.
“The rest
of my work can wait,” says Seto, “We could talk about it after dinner.”
“Let’s
finish the questionnaire tonight. We can talk tomorrow night,” says Katsuya.
“You don’t
want to talk about it at all, do you?” asks Seto with a sigh. He sets his fork
down and pushes his plate away.
“I’m just
so confused, Seto. Part of me knows that you are right and I do have to talk
about it and face what happened to me, but another part of me is scared that
this is all just a dream and I’ll wake up back with them!” exclaims
Katsuya, “We’ll talk… I promise! I’m just confused and scared! Maybe… maybe I’d
just be better off dead. No one wants me.”
“Don’t say
that! There are plenty of people who want you and love you!” exclaims Seto.
“Name
five!”
“Shizuka,
Yugi, Honda, your father,” says Seto, “and me.”
“You love
me?” asks Katsuya raising his eyebrows.
“Well…
maybe I do,” says Seto.
“Could we…
take the rest of dinner upstairs and watch some TV while we eat? Then we could
continue that assignment,” suggests Katsuya, “I don’t want to fight with you
but I… I don’t even know for certain who I am anymore. My life is a shambles!”
“Let me
help you, Jou! I can’t help you if you don’t talk to me!” exclaims Seto.
“Let’s go
to my room with dinner. We’ll talk there!” exclaims Katsuya smiling, “No one
would overhear us there!”
“All
right,” says Seto, “We’ll talk in your room, Jou. Let’s go.” He stands up.
Katsuya
stands.
Both boys
lift their plates and glasses and head upstairs to the blond’s bedroom. They
sit down on the bed and finish eating while watching a comedy on the TV. They
set their plates on the nightstand closest to Seto. Then they lie down beside
each other.
“Please,
Jou. Tell me everything you remember from that night,” says Seto.
“I
remember… a voice. I remember pain… and fear. I was afraid for my life, but
mostly, I remember a voice,” says Katsuya sitting up and turning away from
Seto.
Seto sits
up. “What did he say?”
“He said,
‘What are you doing, worthless mutt?’ It was the first time you’ve ever called
me worthless,” says Katsuya.
“I
wasn’t…!” Seto’s eyes widen.
“You’re
right, of course! I am worthless, just a mutt no one needs. Maybe I deserved
what happened. I know I certainly don’t deserve your love,” interrupts Katsuya,
“but I never thought… I still can’t believe you did it. Why did you?”
“Jou, I…”
“Don’t lie
to me, Seto! You were there in that alley, waiting for me to come by! You were
the one who grabbed me, weren’t you? You and your friends raped me! You stole
the only good thing about me!” exclaims Katsuya, “I loved you! I never told you
because I thought you were straight, but I’m in love with you! And you raped
me! You hurt me! You hurt me worse than anyone else in the world!” His body
racks with silent sobs. “Which were you? One, two, or three?”
“Jou, I
didn’t…” Seto reaches out a hand to rest on Katsuya’s shoulder.
“Don’t ever
touch me!” exclaims Katsuya, “I hate you, Seto Kaiba! I hate you!”
“I didn’t
rape you, Jou,” says Seto.
“I hate
you! I never want to see you again!” exclaims Katsuya.
Seto climbs
from the bed. “I wasn’t one of the three who raped you.”
“There were
only four of us there. Since you weren’t the victim, you had to be one of the
attackers! I recognized your voice! You were there!” exclaims Katsuya.
“I’m sorry,
Jou, but I’ll prove to you that I didn’t hurt you. I would never hurt
you like that!” exclaims Seto walking to the door and leaving the bedroom. He
hurries down to his car and climbs in. He sits behind the wheel for a moment as
he thinks about Katsuya’s words. ‘My puppy thinks I hurt him! He thinks I raped
him! I am the one he loved, and I might have lost him because of his false
memory! I won’t go down without a fight!’
Seto starts
the engine and drives away from the mansion as quickly as he can. He drives
first to the hospital and walks inside. He steps up to the desk of the head
nurse. “Hello. My name is Seto Kaiba. I was hoping you could help me.”
The
middle-aged woman smiles. “Hello, Mr. Kaiba. How can I help you?”
“I need a
copy of a medical file… for Katsuya Jounouchi,” says Seto.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that,
Mr. Kaiba,” says the nurse, “That file is confidential.”
“Is Dr.
Takanai here?”
“Yes. He’s
doing his rounds right now,” says the nurse.
“Get him
here… now!” exclaims Seto walking away to a nearby chair and sitting down. He
smirks when he hears the announcement over the intercom for Dr. Takanai to
report to the front desk. He waits only a matter of minutes before he sees Dr.
Takanai walk up. He rises from his seat and looks at the man.
“Hello, Mr.
Kaiba. Is something wrong with Jou?” asks Dr. Takanai.
“Just his
memory as far as I can tell,” says Seto, “He said he came to you today.”
“Yes, he
did. He’s getting better at a remarkable pace. His body is healed from his
attack and he’s starting to gain a little weight back,” says Dr. Takanai, “What
about his memory? He didn’t hit his head hard enough to have permanent damage!”
“But he did
fall unconscious, and that’s the problem. He doesn’t realize that I came by to
save him. He thinks I attacked him. I want a copy of his medical file to give
to him,” says Seto.
“I
shouldn’t give it to you, but… you have been taking good care of him. So I’ll
do it,” says Dr. Takanai walking over to the nurse, “I need the file on Katsuya
Jounouchi.”
The nurse
glances at Seto, but she still gets the file.
Dr. Takanai
quickly copies the file. He returns the original to the nurse and passes the
copy, in a manila envelope, to Seto.
“Thank you.
Maybe this will help me convince Jou that I didn’t hurt him,” says Seto. He
shakes Dr. Takanai’s hand and leaves the hospital. He climbs into his car and
dumps the envelope in the passenger seat. Then he drives to the police station.
He parks and heads inside. “I’m looking for Detective Shimura.”
“He’s
unavailable right now. If you’d like to wait, it should only be a half hour or
so,” says the receptionist.
Seto nods
and sits down. He sits there impatiently for over an hour before he sees
Detective Shimura walking towards him. He stands.
“Mr. Kaiba.
I’m sorry for the wait. I was interrogating a stalker. What can I help you
with?” asks Detective Shimura leading Seto to his desk.
“I need
your help,” says Seto sitting down.
“What is
it?”
“My…
friend… Katsuya Jounouchi. His memory of his attack is a little sporadic. He
thinks I was one of his attackers. I need your help to convince him I wasn’t
involved,” says Seto, “I want a copy of the police report.”
“The case
is closed. I can give you a copy of the file,” says Detective Shimura, “Do you
think that would be enough to prove your innocence?”
“With him?”
Seto sighs. “Probably not, but it’s all I can do. Any way you look at it, our
friendship is over. Maybe this will be enough to let us separate on civil
terms.”
“I hope it
works out,” says Detective Shimura, “I’ll copy the file for you.” He heads away
from his desk.
Seto
relaxes as much as he can in the uncomfortable chair. ‘I doubt Jou could forget
what he thinks happened, but we may be able to be friends after this. And
perhaps he won’t change his mind about staying to live with me. I should have
told him everything the very first day! I shouldn’t have taken him from the
hospital! Maybe I shouldn’t have let myself fall in love with him… that was not
my fault! He was the one who wouldn’t stop flirting and begging me to hold him
and kiss him! Wait… if he thought I had raped him, why would he be so keen to
be in my arms? Why would he have asked me to kiss him? He said he was confused.
Could he have meant that he loves and hates me simultaneously?’
Detective
Shimura walks back with a manila folder, and he passes it to Seto. “Put it to
good use, Mr. Kaiba.”
“I will.
Thank you,” says Seto standing.
“I hope
this works out between you and your friend,” says Detective Shimura.
“So do I.”
Seto turns and walks away. He returns to his Jaguar and drives slowly home,
thinking all the while about his puppy and getting more and more confused as he
remembers what Katsuya did and what Katsuya believes he remembers. He parks in
the garage and takes the two files up the stairs.
