Chapter Six
“Great! I’m
starving!” exclaims Jounouchi, “I’ll put the movie in!” He grabs the DVD case
from the table and moves over to the DVD player. He puts it in and turns on the
TV while Mokuba and Anzu start pulling out boxes.Mokuba
reads the Chinese symbols, and he quickly translates them to the actual name of
the food, which he says aloud.“Oh, that
sounds yummy! Do you want to split it with me, Yugi?” asks Ryou.“Yeah!”
exclaims Yugi cuddling closer to Ryou.“Do you
want forks or chopsticks?” Mokuba passes the carton to Yugi.“Chopsticks,”
says Yugi smiling when Mokuba passes them to him. He turns to Ryou. “Don’t
worry. I’ll feed you!”Ryou
blushes. “You’d think I could have figured out the use of chopsticks by now!”“Yeah,
well, you’re lucky,” says Jounouchi, “I still can’t figure out which fork to
use at a restaurant.”“When in
doubt, follow the lead of the other people at the table,” says Seto before
adding something in Chinese to Mokuba.“Sure
thing, big brother.” Mokuba finishes pulling the boxes from his bag before
turning to the ones from Anzu’s and passing Seto two cartons and two packs of
chopsticks.Seto passes
a set to Jounouchi when the blond sits down in front of him again with the DVD
remote. “Try this, puppy. You’ll love it.”“Okay, if
you’re sure,” says Jounouchi.Mokuba
passes out boxes to everyone else, and they all get situated to eat.“Okay,
everyone! Prepare to watch The Little Mermaid!” exclaims
Jounouchi with a smile as he hits the play button on the DVD remote. He leans
backwards so that his back rests against Seto’s legs, and he opens his takeout
box.Everyone
sits quietly and eats while the movie starts to play.Seto
watches Jounouchi become so entranced in the movie that it takes him almost the
full movie just to eat his one box of food.Jounouchi
wipes the tears from his eyes as the newly wedded Ariel hugs her father.“Are you
all right, puppy?” whispers Seto leaning closer so that no one else will hear
him speak.Jounouchi
shakes his head and stops the DVD. He sniffles once. “I think I need to go home
now, guys.”“Are you
okay, Jounouchi?” asks Honda.“Mokuba,
let’s get ready to go. We’ll take Jounouchi home on our way,” says Seto
standing up.“Okay! Are
we leaving the food here?” asks Mokuba.“Uh… maybe
you should take it with you. I’m sure Jounouchi will eat it tomorrow when he’s
babysitting you, Mokuba,” says Yugi, “Besides. I doubt I have room in the
fridge to hold it all!”Mokuba nods
and starts placing all the food boxes back into the bags.Seto moves
to take the DVD from the player and place it back into the case. Then he turns
off the player and the TV. “Thank you for inviting us, Yugi. Perhaps we will do
this again sometime.”Yugi nods.
“Yeah, sure!”“Okay, all
set!” exclaims Mokuba, “I’ll take the food down to the car! You grab
Jounouchi!” He hurries down the stairs with the takeout.Seto holds
out his hand towards Jounouchi, and the blond slowly reaches up for it. He
pulls Jounouchi to his feet, but then he quickly lifts him up bridal style so Jounouchi
can hide his face in his neck. “We’ll see you on Monday. Have a nice weekend.”“I’ll help
you get the doors,” says Anzu walking down the stairs before Seto who moves
down them slowly to try to maintain his balance with the bundle in his arms.The sounds
of Yugi and Ryou yelling at Honda still echo in their ears as Seto places
Jounouchi into the passenger seat.“I’m sorry
if tonight hasn’t been much fun,” says Anzu, “Most of us really did want you
and Mokuba here tonight, Kaiba.”“I know,”
says Seto placing the movie in Jounouchi’s lap before closing the door. He
turns to face Anzu. “I’m not blaming all of you because Honda hates me so
much.”“Hopefully
Ryou and Yugi can talk some sense into him. If not… maybe next time we invite
you, we won’t invite him,” says Anzu, “I’m not usually one to walk away from a
friend so easily, but his actions tonight were totally uncalled for.”“Good
night,” says Seto, “I should get Jounouchi home and into bed. This movie
probably wasn’t the best idea, but he seemed so keen on watching it.”“Take good
care of him, Kaiba,” says Anzu turning to return to the house above the game
shop.Seto moves
around and climbs into the driver’s seat. He starts the engine.“I want to
sleep with you,” whispers Jounouchi wiping his eyes again.“We’ll go
back to the mansion then,” says Seto, “and if you need more to eat before bed,
we still have plenty of food.”“Thanks,”
whispers Jounouchi.“Are you
okay?” asks Mokuba.Jounouchi
shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders simultaneously.“I’ll take
that as a you’ll be fine in a day or so,” says Mokuba.Seto backs
out of his parking spot and drives as quickly as he dare towards the mansion.
Once there, he parks the car in front of the main door.Everyone
climbs from the car, and they carry the bags of food and the movie inside.“Are you
still hungry, Jounouchi?” asks Mokuba.“Yeah, but
I don’t know if I really feel like eating,” says Jounouchi.“Do me a
favor,” says Seto pressing his chest up against the blond’s back, “Sit down in
here and eat a bit more. I’ll go make up some bathwater for you, and when
you’re done eating you can come upstairs and take a bath to relax. Then we can
go to bed.”“Can we
watch the movie again tonight?” whispers Jounouchi relaxing in Seto’s arms.“Is that a
good idea?” asks Seto with raised eyebrows.“Please? I
want to.” Jounouchi turns in Seto’s embrace and gives him a cute puppy dog
pout.“After you
eat and take a bath, we’ll curl up in my bed, and we’ll watch it again,” says
Seto, “but then we’re going to sleep. Okay?”Jounouchi
nods and smiles. He gives Seto a quick kiss on the cheek. He slips from Seto’s
arms and grabs a takeout box and a set of chopsticks. He sits down at the
breakfast bar and starts to eat the slightly cool food from the container.Mokuba
helps Seto place the rest of the boxes into the refrigerator. “I’m going to
bed, Seto. Good night, brother. Sleep well, Jounouchi.”“Eat as
much as you want, puppy,” says Seto, “I’ll go make your bath.”“Thank
you!”Mokuba and
Seto head out of the kitchen and upstairs together.“Is
Jounouchi okay?” asks Mokuba.“I hope
so,” says Seto, “I think he just misses his grandmother, and all the time they
never had together.”“Like how I
feel about Mom,” says Mokuba, “I understand. Hold him tight tonight, okay? He’s
going to need it.”Seto grabs
Mokuba’s arm and pulls his brother into a tight embrace. “I’m sorry you never
knew her. I’m sorry I don’t remember more about her.”“It’s
okay,” says Mokuba, “We have a good life with each other. I’m going to bed, and
you have to take care of Jounouchi. I’m okay. I don’t need comfort tonight, but
your boyfriend does.”“Good
night,” says Seto releasing his hold on Mokuba so the boy can enter his
bedroom. He walks into Jounouchi’s bedroom and steps into the bathroom to start
the bathwater and set out a clean towel and washcloth. He makes the water a
little on the warm side, unsure of how long it will take Jounouchi to arrive,
and he adds some bath salts and bubble bath to soothe tired muscles and add a gentle
scent to the water. He leaves the bathroom after turning the water off, and he
heads from this bedroom into his own to begin his own preparations for bed.* * *
“Kaiba?”
asks Jounouchi softly as he enters Seto’s bedroom clutching the movie to his
chest.Seto steps
out of his bathroom wearing a fleece bathrobe and toweling his hair dry. He
smiles when he sees Jounouchi standing in the doorway wearing the black robe.
“How do you feel now?”“Well, you
have a lot less leftovers now than when we got home,” says Jounouchi blushing,
“so my stomach at least feels a lot better.”“Good to
hear,” says Seto tossing the towel back into his bathroom, “I see you brought
the movie. Should I put it on?”Jounouchi
nods. “Yes, please…”Seto walks
up to Jounouchi and takes the DVD case. He heads over to his TV and sticks the
movie into the DVD player. “Go ahead and lie down. I’ll join you in bed in a
second.”“I have one
request though,” says Jounouchi blushing scarlet.Seto turns
towards Jounouchi with the DVD remote in hand. “What is it, Suya?”“At the end
of the movie… when Prince Eric kisses Ariel… will you kiss me?”“On the
cheek?”“Like he
kisses her.”“On the
lips.”Jounouchi
nods, and his blush deepens.“I would
love to,” says Seto walking towards the bed.Jounouchi
removes his robe and drapes it over the footboard before pulling back the
blankets and climbing into the bed to be joined within seconds by Seto after
the brunet places his own robe on the footboard. He cuddles up to his boyfriend
as Seto hits the button to ‘Play Movie’.Seto gently
strokes Jounouchi’s hair as he watches the movie, waiting rather impatiently
for the scene that will grant him his first real kiss with the blond. As the
moment nears, he looks at his bedmate and asks, “Suya, are you sure you want
this?”A soft
snore is his only response.Seto groans
as he realizes that Jounouchi fell asleep before he could give him the kiss. He
sighs and kisses Jounouchi’s forehead before stopping the movie, turning off
the TV and DVD player, and reaching over to flip the switch on the bedside
lamp. He wraps both his arms around Jounouchi and closes his eyes to let sleep
claim him.* * *
Seto opens
his eyes slowly and feels around the bed. He lifts his head and looks around the
room. “Suya?”A folded
piece of paper on Jounouchi’s pillow catches Seto’s eye, and he lifts it. He
unfolds it and reads the simple print: ‘I.O.U. – One kiss on the lips.’
He smiles and folds the paper again before he climbs from the bed. He puts the
promissory note into his nightstand before going into his closet to pick out
his clothes for the day. He hears the bedroom door open, and someone enter.“Kaiba?”
calls Jounouchi.“I’m in the
closet,” says Seto grabbing out a pair of pants and looking through his shirts,
“What do you think? White or blue?”“I’m
partial to blue,” says Jounouchi.Seto pulls
out a blue polo shirt and carries his clothing out into the bedroom, but he
drops them unceremoniously when he sees Jounouchi standing beside his bed in a
maid’s uniform and holding a breakfast tray. His cock twitches from the visual
stimulus.Jounouchi
blushes. “Did you want to dress before breakfast? Or do you just want to crawl
back into bed?”“I should
probably dress,” says Seto bending down to lift his clothes, “Climbing back in
bed with you would be too tempting.” He stops at his dresser for a pair of
boxer shorts before heading into the bathroom. “I thought you didn’t like the
maid’s dress.”“I like
it,” says Jounouchi, “I just… I wanted to apologize for falling asleep on you
last night.”Seto
emerges from the bathroom wearing a pair of black jeans and his blue polo
shirt. He smiles. “You fall asleep on me every time you share my bed. You’ve
never apologized before, and I’ve never asked you to. You’re not that heavy.”“That’s not
what I meant!” exclaims Jounouchi sitting down on the bed with the tray in his
lap. “I meant… I’m sorry for falling asleep before the movie ended.”“Oh…”
“You missed
your kiss,” whispers Jounouchi.“And so did
you,” says Seto, “but we could change that right now.”Jounouchi
looks away from Seto. “I’m sorry…”“You’re not
ready for me to kiss you,” says Seto understandingly, “Then why did you ask me
to kiss you last night?”“It’s
amazing how much the darkness changes things,” says Jounouchi, “but when you
look at them in the light of day, you can’t see what you thought you did in the
dark.”“Let’s eat
before breakfast gets cold,” says Seto moving to sit beside Jounouchi, “How did
you manage to wake up so early anyway?”“The
problem with Chinese food is you’re hungry again after an hour,” says Jounouchi
as his stomach rumbles loudly.“Oh, your
stomach woke you,” says Seto, “Then let’s feed it!”“I brought
pancakes,” says Jounouchi.Seto smiles
as they start to eat.“I’m all
right now. Thank you for your concern last night,” says Jounouchi, “What are
our plans for tonight?”“How would
you like to go to La Gourmand?” asks Seto.Jounouchi’s
eyes widen. “La Gourmand? Fine food, fancy dress? I would love it!”“Good. I
have reservations for us at seven,” says Seto, “And I want you to look good
enough to eat when I take you there.”“I will!”
exclaims Jounouchi, “I’ll wear that blue dress!”“You look
beautiful in that dress,” says Seto.“You will
try not to get a nosebleed this time though, right?”“That all
depends on you and how absolutely beautiful you are,” says Seto, “So you might
want to have tissues handy.”Jounouchi
blushes. “So what are you and Mokuba going to do today?”“We haven’t
decided yet, but we can figure out what we’ll all be doing after we finish
breakfast…” Seto pauses unsurely. “Unless that was your way of telling me you
have plans with your friends today.”“After last
night…” Jounouchi sighs and continues, “I don’t want to be around Honda right now.
The way he treated you last night… Did I ever hate you that much?”Seto
brushes a strand of blond hair away from Jounouchi’s eyes. “No, Suya. You never
did act as if you hated me that much, and even if you did have the feelings of
such a deep hatred for me, I don’t think you would have ever intentionally
cheated to try to beat me. You have too much pride in your skill and too much
honor to fight unfairly.”“I can’t
believe he did that!” exclaims Jounouchi, “And he didn’t even try to hide it!”“By the
way, why did you give me the Queen of Hearts?” asks Seto.“There’s
this old song, I think it was American, that the card always reminds me of,”
says Jounouchi, “and I wanted to give it to you because of that.”“A song.
Sing it for me, please.”“I barely
remember it, and it’s choppy at best,” says Jounouchi blushing, “but I’ll sing
what I can remember for you.”Seto moves
their now empty breakfast tray away from them.“Playing
with the Queen of Hearts,” sings Jounouchi before humming a few bars, “And the
Joker is the only fool who will do anything for you.”“You really
don’t remember much of that do you?” asks Seto smirking.“Hey! I was
young when I first heard it, and I’ve never heard it again!” exclaims
Jounouchi.“I’m sorry.
I’m just teasing you,” says Seto.Jounouchi
leans into Seto. “I know.”“Although I
wouldn’t mind spending all day like this with you, I think you’d get tired of
just holding each other soon enough. Should we go see what Mokuba would like to
do today?” asks Seto.Jounouchi kisses
Seto’s cheek before jumping off the bed and running from the room.“Hey! You
call that a kiss?” exclaims Seto racing after the blond.Jounouchi
runs downstairs and bursts into the dining room.“Hi,
Kat-chan!” exclaims Mokuba after finishing his bite of pancake, “Why are you in
a maid’s dress?”“Role-play
for romance,” says Jounouchi blushing as he takes a seat beside Mokuba.Seto runs
through the doorway and glares at Jounouchi. “How dare you run off like that!”Jounouchi
simply smiles.“What are
you two doing today?” asks Mokuba.“Do you
want to get rid of us? Or do you want to do something with us, because we
thought we’d do something with you today, so long as we’re home in time for
Suya to get ready for dinner. She and I have reservations at La Gourmand,” says
Seto, “So it’s up to you.”Mokuba
nibbles on his lower lip apprehensively. He sighs and finally opens his mouth
to speak what’s on his mind, “Do you think that you two could take Mari to the
video arcade? You could always claim she’s Kat-chan’s little sister. Suya Mari
has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?”“Ask Suya
if she will allow you to be her little sister,” says Seto, “I have no problems
with the deceit if she doesn’t either.”Mokuba
turns pleading puppy-dog eyes to Jounouchi. “Please? Will you be my big
sister?”Jounouchi
pulls Mokuba into a teary-eyed embrace. “Of course!”“We’ll go
the arcade,” says Seto smiling, “Now go change, both of you! Mari isn’t going
out dressed like a boy, and you, Suya, are not going out in a maid’s uniform!”“Thank
you!” exclaims Mokuba tearing away from Jounouchi to hug Seto before running
upstairs to change.“We’ve
certainly made her happy,” says Jounouchi, “Is there a reason you’ve never
taken her out before?”“I can’t
just be seen with a young teenage girl,” says Seto, “People might start to
think I’m having inappropriate relations with a minor.”“Oh… so
you’re not embarrassed by her,” says Jounouchi sashaying his hips as he walks
out of the room.Seto smiles
as he watches Jounouchi leave.* * *
“Thank you
for bringing us,” says Mokuba squeezing Seto’s hand and smiling up at his
brother. He wears a baby blue sundress with matching pumps and a white shrug
covering his shoulders and arms.“Yes, thank
you very much, Kaiba-kun,” says Jounouchi holding Seto’s other hand. He opted
to wear his wig braided in the same style of Mokuba’s hair, and his body is
adorned with a gold tank top, a green shrug, and a knee-length, green skirt.
The heels of his gold pumps click on the tile floor as he walks into the arcade
with the others.“You’re
welcome. Now can I have a hand back so I can buy us some tokens to play with?”
asks Seto.Jounouchi
blushes and releases Seto’s hand.Mokuba
quickly lets go as well and moves to take Jounouchi’s hand instead.Seto
removes his wallet and moves up to the counter to buy game tokens from the
clerk. He steps back over to the pair and passes each one a small tub of tiny
gold coins. “Now, what would you like to play?”Mokuba
smirks. “Let’s check out your competitors!”Seto and
Jounouchi follow Mokuba into the back of the arcade.“Kaiba? Is
that you?”Three sets
of eyes turn towards the sound of the voice.“Good
morning, Kaiba,” says Yugi approaching the tall brunet.“Yugi,”
says Seto simply, “This is my girlfriend, Suya Kat, and her little sister,
Mari.”“A pleasure
to meet you. I’m Motou Yugi. Kaiba and I are classmates,” says Yugi, “and
friends.” He holds out his hand for Jounouchi to shake.“Nice to
meet you, Motou-kun.” Jounouchi slowly extends his hand and barely touches
Yugi’s when they shake.“Please,
call me Yugi!” exclaims the short boy blushing. He turns to shake Mokuba’s
hand. “Did you come here to play games?”“Yes! We’re
checking out the competition for Kaiba Corp games!” exclaims Mokuba excitedly.“Then you
definitely have to try Speed Racer,” says Yugi, “Quality wise it definitely
compares to Kaiba’s standards.”“Thank you.
We will,” says Seto.“Have a
nice day, Suya, Mari…”“You can
call me Kat-chan, if you want!” interjects Jounouchi quickly.Yugi
smiles. “Thank you, Kat-chan.”“What are
you doing here, Yugi?” asks Seto.Yugi
blushes. “I’m on a date, and I really should get back to my table before my
date gets back from the bathroom. Enjoy your time together.”“Wait,
Yugi,” says Seto grabbing Yugi’s wrist before the small boy can escape, “About
last night. Will those events be repeated in the future?”“I can’t
say,” says Yugi hanging his head, “We all had a long discussion after you left,
and we’ve decided as a group to give him one more chance. But if it happens
again, I don’t see how our friendship would survive it. We’ll talk later.”“We will,”
says Seto nodding.Yugi
hurries off and disappears into the crowd.“I can’t
believe it,” whispers Jounouchi, “That they’d be so willing to throw away a
friendship that we’ve maintained for so long.”“That’s why
they’re giving Honda a second chance,” whispers Mokuba pulling Jounouchi and
Seto towards the Speed Racer game.“I know…
and I know what Honda did was really bad, unforgivable maybe, but… what
happened to the guy I used to call my best bud?” whispers Jounouchi.“Sometimes
people change. Sometimes the people stay the same but everything else around
them changes. Sometimes there’s no way to make it right,” says Seto.“Yeah. Let’s
just enjoy today, and we’ll worry about tomorrow when it comes!” exclaims
Jounouchi sitting down in the seat and grabbing the steering wheel, “So, Mari!
Want to see who can get the best score?”“You’re on,
Kat!” exclaims Mokuba as Jounouchi puts in the required number of tokens.Seto places
a hand on Jounouchi’s shoulder and watches the game screen as the blond starts
to race around the countryside. He smiles when Jounouchi climbs from the seat
and leans up against him while Mokuba takes his turn at the wheel.Several
hours later, Mokuba and Jounouchi play a shooting game together, opting to be
partners in the cop vs. criminal video game.“Big
sister, I’m hungry. Can we get something to eat?” asks Mokuba turning to look
at both Seto and Jounouchi.Jounouchi
blushes and looks to Seto. “I am kind of hungry too. What do you think about
grabbing some lunch?”Seto
smiles. “Of course, Suya. Where would you like to go?”“Do you
think we can go… there?” asks Mokuba slowly, looking directly into Seto’s eyes when
he pauses.Seto looks
up and down Jounouchi’s body. He nods his head. “Yes, I think we can.”Mokuba
blushes.“Where are
we going?” asks Jounouchi, “What am I missing?”“You’ll
see,” says Seto setting his right arm over Jounouchi’s shoulders and taking
Mokuba’s hand with his left, “We’re going someplace very special for lunch.”“Well, as
long as the food’s plentiful,” says Jounouchi snuggling into Seto’s side as the
brunet starts to guide their little group out of the arcade.“It always
is,” says Mokuba smiling, “but we might have to help with the dishes.”Jounouchi
blinks repeatedly. “Huh?”“Just get
in the car,” says Seto as the limo pulls up in front of the arcade.Jounouchi
opens the back door and slides into the seat.Mokuba hops
into the back seat before Seto gets in and sits beside Jounouchi.Seto pulls
the door closed and pushes the button for the intercom. “Please take us to
Kiyoko’s.”“Yes, sir,”
says the driver, and the limo starts to move.“Kiyoko’s?
I’ve never heard of that,” says Jounouchi.“Not many
people have,” says Seto, “although we wish more people would visit.”“Maybe
Kiyoko’s needs a better publicist,” says Jounouchi thinking.The limo
pulls to a stop in front of a small building with a wire fence around it, and
the driver moves quickly to open the door for the three passengers.As they
climb out from the back, Jounouchi sees the old playground equipment nestled in
the trees behind the building. “What kind of place is this?”Mokuba
points to the faded wood sign hanging on the gate.“Kiyoko’s
Home for Orphaned Angels… This is the orphanage where you grew up?” Jounouchi’s
eyes widen, and he turns to stare at Seto.“Yes,” says
Seto, “We grew up here. Kiyoko still runs the place, and we come back to visit
when we can. I’ve offered her money to help spruce up the place and get toys
and things for the orphans, but she always refuses my help. She’ll only accept
money when we come to eat with her and the children, and then she’ll only
accept the amount she spent on that day’s food. I wish I could do more for her,
but she won’t let me.”“This
Kiyoko woman… she’s the one who raised you?” asks Jounouchi slowly.“She’s the
closest thing we’ve had to a mother since our own passed away,” says Mokuba,
“And she knows about our secrets, so she won’t be surprised to see me like
this.”“Thank
you,” says Jounouchi taking Seto’s hand, “Thank you for showing me such an
important piece of your past.”Seto
squeezes Jounouchi’s hand and pulls him up to the front door with Mokuba
trailing just a step behind the pair. He pushes the button to ring the
doorbell, but when he hears no sound, he knocks briskly on the door.After a
moment, the door opens to reveal an elderly woman, probably in her late
fifties, but possibly older than that. She smiles. “Seto!”Seto gives
the woman a one-armed hug, refusing to release Jounouchi’s hand to hug her
properly. “Hello, Kiyoko. How are you doing?”“Oh, I’m
doing fine, Seto, but you already knew that I’m sure,” says the woman noticing
Seto and Jounouchi’s clasped hands. She gives Jounouchi an appraising eye
before turning to Seto. “I like this one. Will he be joining us frequently?”“What?”
gasps Jounouchi with wide eyes.“Oh, I’m
sorry. I suppose I should refer to you as female while you’re dressed like that.
I forget sometimes. Old age, you see,” says the woman offering her hand to
Jounouchi, “I am Hana Kiyoko, but you may call me Kiyoko.”Jounouchi
shakes the woman’s hand. “I’m Suya Kat.”“Jounouchi
Katsuya,” whispers Seto, “and you already know Suya Mari.”Kiyoko’s
eyes widen and she looks at the clasped hands before turning a questioning gaze
to Seto.“Oh, don’t
worry about that. She’s mine,” says Seto, “Mari just decided to adopt the last
name so she can come out in public with us.”“Okay, what
am I missing?” asks Jounouchi looking back and forth between the three people
around him.“Shall we
explain over lunch?” asks Kiyoko, “You’ve come just in time. We’re having
mashed potatoes with hamburger gravy.”Seto smiles
broadly. “We picked the perfect day to come here then!”Kiyoko
steps aside so that the three young men can enter, and she closes the door
after them.“Your
doorbell is broken,” says Seto, “Would you like me to fix it later?”“That would
be nice. Thank you, Seto,” says Kiyoko leading the way into the back where the
dining room is located. She grabs three more plates and silverware to set at
the table before sitting down at the table with the children.Seto,
Mokuba, and Jounouchi take the empty seats on either side of Kiyoko.Kiyoko closes
her eyes and clasps her hands together. “May the future be bright and bring
good homes to many children. It’s time to eat now.”“It’s time
to eat now,” chime the children before they start to pass the dishes of food
around the table.Seto takes
a bowl of mashed potatoes from a nearly toothless girl and he places large
helpings on both his plate and Jounouchi’s.“So, our
Seto has never brought a visitor here before,” says Kiyoko, “You must be
something special to him.”“Are you
his girlfriend?” asks a young blond boy.Jounouchi
blushes and nods.“Don’t get
pregnant, okay? There are enough kids like us in the world as it is,” says the
boy.“I won’t,”
says Jounouchi.Seto scoops
some gravy onto his and Jounouchi’s plates. “Can you two quit trying to make my
girlfriend blush? I know she’s cute that way, but I don’t want her to die from
embarrassment.”“Now, Kat,
I’m sure you know that this is where your beloved Seto grew up,” says Kiyoko
filling her own plate.“Yes,” says
Jounouchi, “I knew he was raised in an orphanage, but I didn’t know it was this
one until earlier. He said you were like a mother to him.”“I treat
all my orphans like my children,” says Kiyoko smiling.“But you
refuse to accept help from him,” says Jounouchi, “He’s in a position now that
he can help you and the children… buy clothing and food, fix up the house, get
new playground equipment and toys… He tells me you always refuse his offer of
help.”“He has
made his way in the world, and I do not feel it right to accept his money,”
says Kiyoko, “He has earned it justly…”“But you
were a mother to him when he had none, and it is the way of the world for a
mother to tend to her child, but then when she is no longer able to do so, the
child moves on and in return tends to her needs,” says Jounouchi, “He only
wants to take as good of care of you as you took of him.”Kiyoko
smiles. “You make a valid point, Kat. The next time he offers, I won’t refuse.”“I’m
offering now then,” says Seto, “As much money as you need.”“It isn’t
fair to gang up on an old lady, Seto. You brought Kat here for that purpose,
didn’t you?” asks Kiyoko.Seto looks
at Jounouchi as the blond starts to take small bites of the gravy covered
mashed potatoes. “Suya and I came here today for lunch, and so that I could
show her where I grew up. I hadn’t known that she would try to spend my entire
fortune here, although I appreciate her efforts to do so.”“We want to
help you, Kiyoko,” says Mokuba, “You didn’t allow us to be separated, and now
we can repay you. We can’t take any more children off your hands, but we can
help you provide a good life for them here until they can find nice parents who
will love them.”“The three
of you…” Kiyoko sighs. “We’ll discuss this after lunch in the office, Seto.”“Sure,”
says Seto after swallowing a bite of food, “and then I’ll fix your doorbell.
Mari can show Suya around.”Mokuba
nods.“Now, Kat,
how long have you and Seto been dating?” asks Kiyoko.“It hasn’t
even been a full two weeks yet,” says Jounouchi blushing slightly.“Really
now?” Kiyoko leans closer to Jounouchi and whispers, “And have you kissed yet?”Jounouchi
lowers his eyes and blushes even more. He shakes his head.“So I take
it then that you haven’t gone further?”Jounouchi
shakes his head rapidly.“Good,”
says Kiyoko leaning back in her seat, “I hope you will take good care of Seto
when the time comes to that.”“I’ll do my
best,” says Jounouchi smiling.“Good. He
deserves to be happy after all,” says Kiyoko, “and I think you could grant him
that.”Seto
smiles.- 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.
