I suppose, you guessed by now where this is going, ne?
Yup, we finally get to learn what made Jou snap and force himself on Seto. A little angst, a little sadness, but nothing too sensational-still, enjoy!^^
Ja ne!

70. Brightest darkness

It was exactly six thirty am.
He knew, because the old clock on the cupboard always ran two minutes early, never mind how often he set and reset it. As he entered, it read precisely 06.32, which meant he had one hour to shower, eat, finish his homework and get ready for school.
Despite the fact that he was entirely exhausted.
Doing triple shifts as delivery boy was a very demanding job.
With a sigh, Katsuya slipped out of his shoes and walked into the dim-lit living room-
His father was waiting for him.
And the way his old man smiled, set off every single alarm inside Katsuya's brain.
Wariliy, he stepped closer and asked:
"What?"
The elder Jounouchi's smile widenend, and despite-or actually, because- it being a honest smile, Katsuya felt his stomach plummet to his knees. His father reeked of alcohol, but was surprisingly sober, when he stretched his arms out and exclaimed:
"I got a job!"
Jou forgot all weariness at this news.
"Ho-honto de? Oh my gods, chichi*, that-that's great! I mean, you- and we- and- you- and-"
The elder Jounouchi stopped his son's exited babbling and cheering with both hands raised.
"Easy there, Katsuya, no need to get too wound up about this; it's just a part-time job at the Seiza Construction Group. They needed some strong men who would take over the night shift, so I went over and they hired me right away."
Katsuya's mind was still reeling with the news; perhaps, finally, after all these years, things would turn out for the better...
The wistless sigh escaping his father's mouth made the blond frown.
"Is there a catch to it?" he asked, the feeling of impending doom returning with a vengeance.
His father shook his head, then gave an embarassed chuckle, which made Katsuya's hair stand on its ends.
"Unluckily, as I celebrated my new employment, I guessI had one drink too many. I tripped on the sidewalk and sprained my ankle,"
Katsuya's eyes dropped to his father's jean-clad legs and found the right foot
heavily bandaged,
"so I'm afraid I won't be able to show up the next couple of nights, leave alone tonight. Unless of course," he turned his head, mud-brown eyes shifting to meet amber ones,
"I can find a-replacement?"
Jou narrowed his eyes.
"If you're asking me to jump in for you, my answer is no. I'm already working my ass off enough as it is, in case you happened to forget."
His father sighed.
"Yes well, but you see, there's your sister's allowance-"
"which I come up for!"
"-and the school fees..."
"Which I'm takin' care of!"
"Not to mention the inflation rate, which makes living even more expensive than it already is."
"So there'll only be twenty beers a night for you instead of thirty. Big deal."
He knew he was threading on thin ice, but his mood was bad enough as it was, without his father unnecessarily adding to his misery.
Inwardly, he already steeled himself for the inevitable beating, but was positively-or rather, negatively-surprised.
Again, a dishearted sigh, as Jounouchi senior nestled about in his pockets, mumbling:
"Besides, I dont think, your precious little friend would be too happy if the two of you would be forced to..disbond."
A chill ran up Katsuyas back. Precious little friend?!?
Balling his fists, the blond teen growled:
"Dont you dare to touch Yuu-"
Golden eyes widenend in disbelief, when he recognized the object his father balanced between two fingers.
His Red Eyes Black Dragon!
From far away, he could hear his fathers voice, musing:
"This is a very dangerous area, you know? With an extremely high crime rate. I'd be more careful than to let my most prized posessions lie around unattended-"
"You broke into my DuelCask."
It was a statement, not a question, and the elder Jounouchi drew back, as if struck. Gripping the shirt above his heart, he gasped in mock indignation:
"How can you even think I would do something this-immoral? I was merely searching for the first aid kit, when my sight fell on the box. Curious as I am, I wanted to get a closer look, but alas, clumsy
me, I dropped it on the floor and it broke."
He gave an apologizing grin that never reached his eyes.
"Im so sorry."
Katsuya crossed his arms before his chest.
"Whatever. I'm not doing it."
His father cocked a brow.
"Are you certain?"
The blond merely huffed. Jounouchi senior gave a cold smirk.
"And you're certain, I can't make you reconsideryour decision?" purred his father, as he drew a second card from the backpocket of his jeans.
Or so Katsuya thought it was.
His breath caught in his throat, when he got a closer look at the object:
Shizukas picture!
The one he had taken right after Battle City!
Shaken to the core, Katsuya stared at the brilliant smile and sparkling eyes of his imoto banned on the glossy surface, his fathers snarl gnawing itself into his conciousness.
"Six o'clock. The Matsuoka Building down Kaikoroku Road. Don't be late."
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Katsuya sighed.
"You can't imagine, how I felt- my own father had blackmailed me into taking his job! And he didn't even shy from using what he knew were my most precious belongings, just to reach his goal. I-I cant
remember if I was disappointed or sad or..all I felt was this boiling rage inside me, this anger...I felt like walking in a blood-red haze; nothing made sense and all I wanted to do was to destroy someone or something.
And Seto just- happened to get in my way."
He shot a cautious glance to his husband, who replied with a grim nod.
Katsuya swallowed hard, then locked eyes with Mokuba.
"Last chance to drop out. This is where it gets ugly."
The dark-haired teen gulped, then rasped:
"I-I can take it."
