Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Crazy Little Thing Called Love ❯ A day in the life of the Kaiba's ( Chapter 3 )

~Chapter 3~

Jou sat at the kitchen table, Mokuba sat across from him and Kaiba just slightly to the right, Jou spun his pasta onto his spoon and then crammed it in his mouth and chewed. He swallowed and Kaiba cleared his throat, "pass the pepper Mokuba." It was slid along the table and there was a long pause, then Jou looked up at Mokuba,

"you got anything to drink?" Mokuba nodded, standing,

"yeah, uh, milk, water, orange juice, tea and soda." Jou paused.

"milk, please." Mokuba faced Seto,

"want anything big brother?"

"No, I'm fine." Jou returned to his meal, then glanced up as a glass of milk was placed in front of him, he smiled and sipped it, then his gaze flickered to the elder Kaiba.

Seto was chewing slowly and mopping up the sauce with a piece of bread, he was breaking it apart and then eating it. Jou turned back to his meal, then returned to eating. It was so quiet, the occasional fork scraping or a glass being placed down, but that was it. He finished and Mokuba stood, "done?" He nodded,

"need help?" Mokuba shook his head,

"nah, finished Seto?" Jou stood and yawned,

"so, where am I bunking?" Kaiba's eyes leveled to his, he found himself staring into the endless blue depths and he cleared his throat, "never mind." He turned his head to the side and hoped his face wasn't red, Kaiba sighed,

"wanna watch a movie?" Jou glanced up,

"what?" Kaiba rolled his eyes at Jou's stupid question.

"Want. To. Watch. A. Movie?" Jou shrugged,

"sure, got Lord of the Rings?"

Jou tried to smother a yawn and he glanced at his watch, nearly eleven, he stood, "uh, can I get a room now?" Kaiba stood,

"come puppy." Jou rolled his eyes then followed Kaiba up the stairs, down a hall to a room, Kaiba opened a door, then flicked on a light. "Here, my room's across the hall, there's a shower attached, feel free to use it, I'll leave a set of pajamas on the bed." Jou shut the door and tugged off the over

shirt tossing it onto the floor, he threw his tee on top and yanked off his socks, dropping them onto the floor he tossed his pants onto the pile and walked into the washroom, he shut the door half way and shed his boxers, then stepped into the shower. He turned the taps to hot and flicked the shower on he felt his muscles relax and he searched for the shampoo.

Seto walked into the room to hear the shower running, Jou's clothes lay in a heap on the floor and he shook his head. Placing the pajamas on the bed he picked up the jeans and folded them, he placed them on the dresser, then the socks. Jou was humming softly in the shower, he knew the song, but couldn't remember the name. The humming was slightly off pitch and there was a dull thud and a

muttering that sounded something like, 'damn soap, why's it gotta be so slippery.' He chuckled and finished folding, and stood as the water stopped running, he exited the room and shut the door with a soft click as Jou emerged from the shower wrapped in a bathrobe. He was toweling his hair and he glanced at the folded clothes and smiled, he grabbed the pajamas and tugged on the pants, he tugged on the top and inhaled, it smelt like Kaiba. Like vanilla and cinnimon and fresh laundry, he smiled

and crawled into the bed and buried his head in the pillow and tugged the blanket over his head.

Kaiba opened the door to the bedroom, it was past eight, but school was closed, Jou lay, entangled in the sheets. He must've ditched the shirt, as it now lay on the floor and he lay bare chested and dozing peacefully, he murmured something and Kaiba crept in. He smiled softly, he was falling for the boy, he knew it, but he knew Jou would never like him back. He gently tugged the covers back over Jou and smiled, "such a cutie puppy." He straightened, then brushed a strand of hair out of Jou's

face and Jou smiled in his sleep, which made Seto smile, he walked to the door, then sighed, "if only he knew how much I liked him." He shook his head, then shut the door behind him, Jou turned over in his sleep and mumbled something indistinct, he tossed and turned and then fell calm. He sighed softly and fell into a deeper more peaceful sleep.

Yugi, Yami, Honda and Anzu walked towards Kaiba's house, Yami was bundled up to a tee, mittens, earmuffs, a big parka, a scarf and he was still freezing. Yugi laughed at him, "come on Yami, it's not so bad." Yami glanced at him, nose and cheeks rosy,

"we never had snow in Egypt, we didn't need it either, it's freezing!" He mumbled a few words in Egyptian and Yugi hugged his side,

"not much further."

"I could have stayed in the Puzzle you know." Yugi smiled,

"I know, but it would have been colder, ah, here we are." He pressed the buzzer and Mokuba's voice came over the intercom,

"who is it?" Yugi sighed,

"it's us, we're looking for Jou, can we come in?"

"Sure, I have cocoa ready, come in, just get the snow off your shoes."

The four stepped into the Kaiba mansion and Mokuba frowned, "hey, who's he, he looks like you Yugi." Yugi smiled,

"his name's Yami, he was a Pharoh in Egypt, he's helping us, with saving the world." Mokuba smiled,

"cool, he looks cold." Yami smirked,

"I am very cold Mokuba, this is my first encounter with snow." Seto entered the foyer,

"The puppy's still asleep, but you can stay." Yugi smiled,

"thanks, so, Mokuba, where's that cocoa?" They all stepped out of their winter wear and Yami rubbed his hands together, Yugi rolled his eyes, "come on, quit whining it's not that cold." Yami glared at his aibou,

"yes it is."

Jou wandered into the living room, still dressed in the pajamas, his hair was mussed and he was still half asleep, "time s'it?" Honda glanced at his watch,

"nearly ten thirty." Jou sighed, "uh-huh, be back in a few minutes." He walked away and Yugi shook his head Yami was sipping his cocoa and smiling, he faced Yugi and leaned back in his chair, he tapped into the telepathic link between him and Yugi.

//Yugi?//

/Yes?/

//I think Jou likes Kaiba.// Yugi faced him, then frowned,

/Why?/ Yami chuckled,

//he keeps looking at him, then looking away, it's obvious.//

/I'll look when he comes back down, maybe we should set them up./

Jou walked into the main room, yawning, he was back in the clothes he wore the day before and he smiled, "hey, many people, where's food?" Mokuba grabbed his hand,

"come on, I made pancakes." Jou followed Mokuba and very subltly he flickered his gaze to Kaiba who was smirking in amuzment. Jou walked into the kitchen and Yugi faced Yami,

/How did you know?/

//I told you, stolen glances, that's how I knew you liked me.// Yugi rolled his large purple eyes,

/no, you read my thoughts./ Yami smiled and kissed the top of Yugi's head,

//I was ever greatful I did, if I did not we might never have become a couple.//

/I can't imagine that./

Yugi smiled as Jou walked back into the main room, "hey, Jou, why don't we go outside and play?" Yami stared at Yugi as if he were crazy,

"no, stay inside, where it is warm, and not covered in snow." Yugi smiled, "fine, Yami, you can stay inside, come on Jou, what about you Mokuba?" Mokuba shrugged,

"sure, Seto wanna join us?" Kaiba looked up, then flickered his gaze to Jou, he nodded,

"alright." Yami frowned.

"well, what do you plan to do?" Yugi shrugged,

"build a snowman, make snow angels." Yami contemplated this,

"and it's fun?" Yugi nodded,

"yeah, come on Yami, it'll be fun, if you get cold you can come back in."

Jou was building a masterpiece, a Red Eyes Black Dragon out of snow, Yugi was working on a snowman with Yami and Mokuba, Yami would glance over at him occasionally and then continue working. Jou felt eyes on him and he turned his head, "Kaiba, what?"

"Blue Eyes?" Jou shook his head,

"nah, Red Eyes." Kaiba frowned,

"it looks too much like a Blue Eyes, the mouth should be more angular, but it's too rounded, here, can I fix it, m-maybe help you?" Jou nodded,

"sure." He forwned, did Kaiba just stutter, Kaiba never stuttered, never, never, never. EVER. While lately he's been kinda nervous around Kaiba, could Kaiba like him, no, he was just cold. Then Jou noticed Yugi patting down a snowball, he aimed, right at Kaiba and threw it hard.

Jou tackled Kaiba and they rolled on the ground, somehow they landed in a strange and compromising postion, Kaiba over him, lips just inches from his own. He smiled, "snowball, sorry." Kaiba scrambled up and Jou rolled his eyes and grit his teeth, he was such an idiot, he returned to his dragon and began working the eyes. He smiled, today was supposed to be last day before Christmas, but instead break started early. Yugi walked over, he smiled,

"I like your sculpture, very, detailed." Jou smiled and continued his work, he sighed, the air billowing above his head in a small white cloud, he sniffled and smiled, it was looking good. Something hit the side of his head and he raised a hand, contacting snow he frowned,

"okay, who threw snow at me?!" Honda smiled, tossing a ball in his hand,

"sorry." Jou stooped down, making one of his own,

"you will be!"

Before he could throw it Yugi stood between the two, "okay, no, no, let Jou work on his dragon, Mokuba, it needs to be a bit bigger." Mokuba nodded and began rolling the snowball once more, Jou turned back to his masterpiece and he gasped as he was tackled and he hit the ground. He looked up, into deep blue eyes, Kaiba sighed,

"snowball." Jou nodded mutely, unable to speak and prayed he didn't look like an idiot, he heard Yugi shouting,

"JOU, WE'RE GONNA GO INSIDE!" Jou nodded once more, alone, with Kaiba, this was gonna be strange,

"move." Kaiba just stared, "move Seto." Kaiba sat back,

"what did you call me?" Jou sat up,

"S-Seto, uh, I, uh, forget it." He stood and was tugged back to the ground and he landed on top of Seto this time, he blinked, then without thinking he brushed his lips against Kaiba's. He knew instantly he had made a mistake, he pulled back and crawled backwards, "uh, I, umm, bye." He scrambled up and ran off, leaving Kaiba alone, the CEO stood,

"damnit, puppy, wait!"
