A smile stole over the brunette's lips as he walked back into the bedroom, Jou was asleep on the bed, his chest rising and sinking. His smile left when he stared at his side of the bed, the gray and white kitten lay, stretched out.

"Damn cat, get off the furniture!" Seto picked it up by the back of the neck, tossing it on the floor. He climbed back in the bed, but clawing made him turn his head.

Flippy was climbing up his blankets, jumping on his legs, claws out, and climbed between Jou's legs, falling asleep.

Snorting, Seto kissed Jou, the blonde's eyes opened, turning to face the other. "I'm sorry, Seto. Please, don't make meh get rid of da cat, Flippy-"

"Why could you not go to Yugi's? Honda's? Hell, Anzu's?"

"Yugi went ta Egypt with Yami and his grandpa. Honda has family business ta attend to, aka he's gone off ta sleep with Otogi again, and thinks we don't know. And, did somebody hit ya in da head, ANZU?"

Seto smiled, capturing the blonde's lips, his fingers wrapped around the blonde coils, touching them lightly. "All right, go to sleep." He pulled the blonde close, hearing a faint hiss. "Shut up cat." He snarled.

Jou broke out laughing, rubbing the cat's head. "You'll like her, she's a nice cat."

"Screw it." Seto pulled towards his side, back facing the blonde. Jou sighed, laying back as well.

"G'night, Seto." He whispered.

Strained coughing woke Seto up, turning to face the pale blonde. He sat fully up, touched Jou's cheek, backing off at the heat on it. "Puppy, are you all right."

Coughing, the blonde didn't hear him, turning to his side, his eyes full of muck. Standing up, Seto walked towards the bathroom, turning on the water, he soaked a hand rag, walking back out.

Jou grunted, trying to get out of bed, his face turned a faint green; his eyes still didn't open as he keeled over, throwing up on the floor.

"Puppy." Seto ran to the blonde, picking the blonde up, carrying him towards the bathroom, he leaned the blonde up against the toilet, dapping the washcloth over the muck in his eyes. "Are you all right, puppy?"

"I-I feel awful." Jou muttered, hoarsely as well as reluctantly. "I'm sorry 'bout da carpet, I tried ta get out of bed."

Rubbing the tears out of the blonde's eyes, Seto touched the blonde's lips. "It's not your fault." He pulled his arm away as Jou hung his head over the toilet again.

Trying to stand up, Jou collapsed into the brunette's arms.

Cradling the blonde, Seto carried Jou to the bed, sitting him down carefully. Once the soft head hit the pillow, Jou fell asleep. Sure that the blonde would not wake up, he called the cleaning crew to clean the mess off his carpet as he walked downstairs.

Stepping into the kitchen, Seto's face turned red. The cat food bag was drug out across the floor; the kitten's head was in the bag, eating freely. Snarling, Seto picked up the food before walking towards the fridge.

::::::

Jou opened his sleepy eyes as a small weight was rested upon him, he stared down at the food tray containing two pieces of toast and orange juice.

"Don't need you to dehydrate." Seto whispered. Jou smiled, grateful, as he slowly sipped the orange juice.

Jou stared up, his eyes were soft, pained, his breathing shallow. "Did you feed Flippy?" He whispered.

"No, it feed itself." Seto grunted, sitting on the bed, his eyes darting on Jou, trying to get up. Picking the blonde up, he carried the boy to the bathroom, watching the orange juice come back up.

"Don't you," Jou wipped his lips, "need ta be at work?"

"Yes, but, you're more important then those old farts." Seto sat Jou on his knee, holding him close.

"No, go, I'll bring this trashcan," He picked up the trashcan that was near the toilet, "to bed with me, I can ask one of the maids about toast if I get hungry, but right now, I'm not hungry at all."

Sighing, Seto picked the blonde up, the trashcan in his other hand, bringing the boy into the room. Putting another cover on the boy, he left the room, going towards his limo.

::::::

A pink nose sniffed around as the gray and white kitten ran towards a silver briefcase on the floor. It was opened, and a whole lot of papers were in it. Hoping fully in the briefcase, the cat curled up in a bowl, going to sleep.

::::::

Seto picked up his briefcase, his icy mood back in as he walked towards his office. Was it him, or did his briefcase feel heavier then normal? Stepping into his office, he sat at his desk, staring at the screen, his thumb on his chin as he stared over the many numbers.

Jerking up, he stared at his briefcase, which had fallen over, a kitten tumbling out of it, face first. "YOU!" Seto growled, lunging for the cat.

The animal was quicker, running out of his hands and towards a potted plant, but the C.E.O. lunged for him once more, falling over, the plant tumbling on the ground. Growling, Seto sat up, growling angrily at the animal.

"This is all your fucking fault. If Jou hadn't found you, he wouldn't have stayed that long out in the rain, he wouldn't be sick, I wouldn't be worrying about him." He stood up, walking towards the desk, the cat following his shoestrings that had come apart as he tripped.

Picking up his phone, he called up his secretary to clean up the mess, and dispose of the animal in his office.

At the word 'cat' quirked Flippy to stare at him, jumping on his lap, claw aiming his groin, and on his desk. Once she reached the desk, all the papers fell off, and Flippy made herself at home.

::::::

The moonlight lit into the room as Seto walked in, the cat dangling from his hands. He was going to get rid of it, but once he picked up the phone to call animal control, the thought of Jou dumping him over the cat came to mind.

Touching the blonde's forehead, Seto backed off, the blonde was getting sicker by the minute. Putting the cat on the bed, he called up the doctor, demanding him to visit that hour.

Coughing, the blonde squeezed his eyes closed, turning over and whispering Seto's name, tears falling down his pale face.

When the doctor arrived, in slippers, he studied the blonde; Seto remained in the room, staring over the bed with great worry. He knew he shouldn't have left the blonde at home alone.

"Well, he has pneumonia, don't worry, he's not going to die or anything, just let him rest, drink fluids, and he'll be all right." He nodded, taking his leave.

Pulling up next to the blonde, Seto held him close, resting his head upon the blonde's, singing gently. Glowing golden eyes stared at the two from the dresser.
