Chapter Two - Dance Floor Dream

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Would you like to dance, Jou?” asks Seto holding out his hand towards the blond haired boy.

“I would love to dance with you, Kaiba,” says Katsuya taking Seto's hand and allowing the taller boy to lead him out onto the dance floor. He glances down at his attire once before starting the slow dance at an arm's length from the brunette. He notices that he wears his school uniform, not a very romantic choice of attire for his dance with Seto, but when he looks into Seto's cerulean blue eyes, his clothes no longer seem to have any importance.

“Are you enjoying yourself?” asks Seto leading Katsuya through the moves of the classic waltz.

Katsuya blushes. “Yeah. You?”

“Very much so,” says Seto smiling broadly.

Katsuya's heart pounds in his chest as he smiles.

Seto pulls Katsuya's body up closer to his own so that their clothing brushes against each others as they dance.

The rhythm of the music gets stronger as the two boys dance together, trying to entice each other with their sexual movements and purposely unintentional grinding. They dance like this for several more songs, never noticing when the music transforms into a soft, romantic ballad.

Katsuya wraps his arms around Seto's back.

Seto wraps his arms around Katsuya, with one hand cupping the side of the blond boy's face. He licks his lips as he leans in towards Katsuya's lips.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Katsuya groans as his alarm clock jars him from his erotic sensual dream. He pounds on the snooze button. “Damn clock! It was just getting good.”

Katsuya rolls over and closes his eyes, desperate to fall back into the dream, but nine minutes later when his clock beeps again, he finds himself still remarkably awake and thoroughly aroused by that last image he had gotten in his dream… the image of his secret crush, Seto Kaiba, leaning in to kiss him.

 

Last night I had a dream about you

In this dream I'm dancing right beside you

And it looked like everyone was having fun

The kind of feeling I've waited so long…

 

Katsuya resets his alarm so it'll wake him up the next day in time for school. He jumps into the shower and lets the cool water wash away his arousal and any sleep left in his body. Then he hurries to get dressed and after a quick breakfast of frozen waffles, he heads out for the day. He hurries to Seto's mansion and rings the buzzer by the front gate.

<<Who's there?>> comes a man's voice through the speakers of the intercom.

“Katsuya Jonouchi. I have an appointment with Seto Kaiba.”

<<Come in.>>

The gate swings open.

Katsuya hurries through the gate and walks up to the front door. He's not even surprised when the door opens before he gets to it. He sees the butler standing there in a crisp business suit.

“Mr. Kaiba is waiting for you in the den,” says the butler, “I will show you the way.”

“Thanks,” says Katsuya following the butler up a long staircase and into a giant room that looks a bit more like a library than a den.

“Mr. Kaiba, young Jonouchi is here to see you,” says the butler bowing out of the room.

“It's about time, mutt!” exclaims Seto looking up at Katsuya angrily, “I didn't see you at the club last night! Did you back down and get scared?”

“I was there, Kaiba! I saw you! I saw a lot of you! Who's the chick you were clinging to all night?” asks Katsuya, “All I could find out was that some jerk thought her name was Katherine.”

“All I know is her name is Kat, short for something, but she won't tell me what. She is how I won our bet!” exclaims Seto, “I'm assuming you're here because Ryou told you that I won!”

“Yeah, he told me!” exclaims Katsuya, “That chick was pretty hot. Not as hot as the person I was with, but it just took me a little more time to snag mine!”

Seto scoffs. “Your date couldn't have been better than mine!”

“Yeah well… mine asked to see me again next Saturday!” exclaims Katsuya.

“And I'm seeing Kat again next Saturday as well,” says Seto, “but that's not important, mutt! It's time for me to put you to work!”

Katsuya swallows hard.

“You have to clean my entire mansion, top to bottom, including both sides of the windows,” says Seto, “Then when you're done that come back to me for more work!”

“Yes, Kaiba!” exclaims Katsuya, “Anything else right away?”

“Not at the moment,” says Seto.

Katsuya turns and leaves the den. He hurries to find the butler to ask him where he can get the cleaning supplies, and after the butler shows him the closet where all the cleaning supplies are, he grabs what he needs and heads up to start cleaning in the attic.

Late that night, Katsuya puts the cleaning supplies away and stretches his stiff muscles. He heads into Seto's den once again and stands before the chair where Seto rests with his eyes closed, the laptop he had been working on still resting on his lap. “Hey… uh… Kaiba?”

Seto jerks and opens his eyes. He looks slightly frightened for a fraction of an instant before his gaze on Katsuya turns cold. “What do you want?”

“It's eleven o'clock, and I've finished cleaning the entire house, Kaiba. And before you ask, yes, I did clean both sides of the windows,” says Katsuya.

“Did you clean the chimney in the living room as well?” asks Seto smirking.

Katsuya nods his head.

“Fine,” says Seto, “You said it is eleven o'clock. That should give you time to clean the pool before lunch.”

“Kaiba… it's eleven p.m. Lunch was hours ago. Have you been sleeping all this time?” asks Katsuya.

Seto grabs his laptop and stands up abruptly. “Eleven at night?”

Katsuya nods.

“It took you that long to finish the cleaning?” asks Seto narrowing his eyes at Katsuya.

“Hey! It's not my fault you have this huge ass house, Kaiba! And did you know that you don't even have scaffolding for cleaning the outsides of the windows here? I almost died trying to clean them!” shouts Katsuya.

Seto drops his laptop in his chair and steps towards Katsuya angrily. “Remember your place, mutt!”

“I know my place, Kaiba!” exclaims Katsuya glaring back at Seto as he steps even closer.

Seto stops moving and clenches his fists.

 

Don't stop come a little closer…

 

Katsuya's heart pounds in his chest, and his cheeks redden.

Seto notices the change in color on Katsuya's visage, but he thinks it's solely from anger. He frowns at the thought. “Get out of my sight, mutt!”

“I'm not a mutt, Set!” hisses Katsuya.

Seto's eyes widen. “What did you call me?”

Katsuya smirks. “Set? Don't you like it, Kaiba? I think the nickname fits you well. Established, hard, unyielding, inflexible… And we can't forget the blatant references to chess and tennis. So I think the nickname Set suits you well. I think I'll call you that from now on.”

“You will do no such thing, mutt!” yells Seto.

“Okay, Set. You quit calling me mutt and I'll quit calling you Set,” says Katsuya confidently, “Now, you told me to leave so I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow!” He turns quickly and leaves the den before Seto even has a chance to respond.

“Damn that puppy's quick on his feet!” exclaims Seto shaking his head as he looks to where Katsuya had been just a few feet from him a moment before. He lifts his laptop and sits down again. He whispers to himself, “What can I make that puppy do tomorrow? And for the rest of the week?”

Katsuya steps into the classroom with Yugi and Ryou and looks around. He smiles when he sees Seto sitting in his usual desk. “Just a minute, guys…”

“What is it, Jou?” asks Yugi looking to where Katsuya's eyes rest, “Oh, no… Jou! Don't fight with Kaiba again? Please?”

“I'm not going to fight with him,” says Katsuya. He whispers, “I hope.”

Yugi sighs and looks at Katsuya with slight apprehension. He knows that Katsuya and Seto love to fight each other and will usually seek each other out to do just that.

“Don't worry so much, Yugi,” whispers Ryou into Yugi's ear, “It's just a little dance for them. They need it.”

 

As we jam the rhythm gets stronger…

 

Yugi looks at Ryou with questioning eyes and whispers back, “Why?”

“Because… they care for each other and this is the only way to express it to each other,” whispers Ryou, “but don't let Jou know that I told you.”

Katsuya walks over to Seto and sits down in the desk in front of him so that he faces the stubborn CEO. “Good morning, Set!”

Seto looks up from his book and glares at Katsuya. “Mutt!”

“What you reading?” asks Katsuya.

“None of your business,” says Seto turning his eyes to his book again.

 

There's nothing wrong with just a little, little fun…

 

Katsuya smirks. “Fine, Set. Be that way.”

“Mutt,” replies Seto as Katsuya stands and heads over to sit on top of Yugi's desk.

“So… how was your day yesterday, Jou?” asks Ryou, “You and Kaiba all alone?”

“I barely saw him,” says Katsuya with a gentle sigh, “He had me clean his entire house from top to bottom!” He leans closer to Yugi and Ryou and whispers, “I don't even think he realizes just how much I like him.”

“Jou… if you love him so much, why don't you stop fighting with him and tell him,” whispers Yugi smiling, “I think the way he acts around you is his way of saying he loves you too.”

Katsuya's eyes widen and he glances over his shoulder at Seto. He turns back towards Yugi and Ryou. “I need to talk to you both at lunch, okay… and I mean completely alone, just us three. I don't even want Honda or Anzu there. There's something I really need your help with.”

“Why don't we meet at the front gate then?” asks Yugi, “Hardly no one is there at lunch time.”

Ryou nods. “Good idea, Yugi!”

Katsuya smiles.

Seto glances over at the three friends before the rest of their classmates start to file into the room.

Later that day, Katsuya, Yugi, and Ryou meet at the front gates of the school and lean against the stone wall.

“Now, Jou, what is so important that you couldn't talk to anyone but us?” asks Yugi.

“Well, Yugi. On Saturday, Ryou and I went to the new gay and cross-dresser's bar, On the Verge,” says Katsuya, “and well… I sort of agreed to let Ryou dress me up as a girl too, just for that one time! But I met Kaiba there, and he picked me up! Out of all the people there, he was attracted to me dressed like a chick!”

“You were dressed like a girl?” asks Yugi with wide eyes. He pouts slightly. “Why didn't you tell me you were going there? I've been wanting to go to that nightclub too! I just didn't think it would be safe to go alone, and I didn't think any of you would want to go with me. Yami thinks it's too dangerous a place for me so he won't let me go! Next time, can I go with you?”

“Yugi?” Ryou and Katsuya both look at Yugi with shock-filled eyes.

Yugi blushes. “Yami and I have been dating for a couple of weeks now. We hadn't figured out how to announce it yet.”

“Um… wow!” exclaims Katsuya smiling, “Well… we're going this Saturday too. Try to talk Yami into coming with you as your date!”

Yugi nods and giggles slightly. “Maybe I could dress up like a girl too this time!”

“Perfect!” exclaims Ryou smiling.

“Now… about you and Kaiba,” says Yugi suddenly remembering why they were there to begin with, “What happened between you two?”

“We were having so much fun!” exclaims Katsuya.

 

We were dancing all night long…

 

“They were dancing together most of the night!” exclaims Ryou.

Katsuya blushes. “He's a good dancer. He took me to my apartment building, but I didn't let him come up, so he doesn't know which apartment is mine. Okay, the thing is… he thinks I'm a girl. I'm supposed to meet him at the club on Saturday, and I told him if he asked me nicely I would tell him my last name. I told him to call me `Kat' short for some name, but he only has three guesses to figure it out, and he's used up one guess. So… if I tell him that my last name is Jonouchi, he's going to freak out and know it's me. So what do I tell him is my last name when he asks me again?”

“Hmm. Risky but I think…” Yugi bites his lower lip.

“What?” asks Katsuya hopefully.

“How about we just mix up the letters in your last name?” asks Yugi, “Instead of Jonouchi, we make it Chinou?”

“Kat Chinou?” asks Ryou, “What do you think, Jou?”

“Well… I don't know if I could remember that. It's a nice suggestion, Yugi, but you know my memory.”

“What about simply Chi then?” asks Ryou, “Kat Chi?”

 

The time is right to put my arms around you…

 

“Sounds Chinese! Perfect!” exclaims Katsuya pulling Yugi and Ryou into his embrace, “Thanks guys! Now let's go eat!”

“We've got fifteen minutes left!” exclaims Ryou pulling the other two towards the cafeteria to get a quick bite to eat before their next class.

Katsuya spends the entire afternoon in the hot sun re-planting all the flowers that Seto's gardener had placed in the ground that morning. He mumbles as he works because it seems Seto didn't like where the pink tulips were located and wanted them over where the white lilies were located. He notices the lights turn on as the sun descends past the horizon. He continues to switch the plants around and works until late into the night. He finally finishes as the crescent moon rises. He stands up and watches the moon rising. He sighs contentedly. “Beautiful.”

“What are you muttering about, you stupid mutt?” asks Seto walking up behind Katsuya.

“Look at the moon, Set. You can't tell me that you don't think the moon rising isn't beautiful,” says Katsuya still staring at the moon, “I've only witnessed the full moon rising once, but it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Seeing the moon come up just reminded me of that.”

“There is nothing beautiful about the moon,” says Seto a little gruffer than he had intended.

Katsuya slumps his shoulders. “Well… I've finished the gardening. Now what?”

“I'll see you tomorrow,” says Seto.

Katsuya glances at his watch. “It's only nine.”

“So? Get out of here!” exclaims Seto, “I don't want to see you anymore, mutt! You're filthy and you smell like shit!”

“You mean fertilizer, but with the stuff your gardener uses, it might as well be shit,” says Katsuya. He turns to look at Seto and smiles. “Good night, Set. Have pleasant dreams tonight, okay?”

“I'll see you in school tomorrow,” says Seto.

“Okay… and I'll be back here tomorrow afternoon to continue working,” says Katsuya.

“Be warned… tomorrow, you belong to Mokuba,” says Seto smirking evilly.

Katsuya's eyes widen in shock. “I'm going to…”

“Deal with my energetic brother for the entire night!”

“Man, that's worse than torture! Your brother's great, but he's too hyper!” exclaims Katsuya, “I swear you must feed him nothing but sugar and caffeine!”

Seto laughs. “It wouldn't surprise me if that is what he eats! But he does get something nutritious though. I insist that he eat a healthy meal before he can have dessert! He doesn't like the idea, but he complies!”

Katsuya smiles. “Are you sure you don't need me to do anything else?”

 

You're feeling right…

 

Seto looks at Katsuya. He looks hesitant for a moment. “Go on. You'll need your strength for tomorrow.”

“Okay,” says Katsuya stretching his arms over his head.

Seto turns his eyes away to avoid looking at the firm stomach that is revealed when the shirt rides up. “Good night, puppy.”

“You too, Set. And I'm not a puppy,” says Katsuya starting to walk away.

Seto turns to watch the blond go before he heads into the house for a cold shower.

 

* * *

 

The week doesn't go very well for Katsuya. Just like Seto had said during their date at the nightclub, it becomes the week from hell.

Mokuba does a wonderful job of wearing out Katsuya by forcing him to play games and video games and go swimming. Luckily for Katsuya, he finds Mokuba quite willing to stop for a sugary snack, which unfortunately makes him even more hyper and excitable than normal.

The following days go just as bad as Mokuba and Seto take up Katsuya's time by demanding he do everything at once.

Saturday comes all too quickly and finds Yugi, Ryou, and Katsuya in Ryou's house getting ready.

“Did you convince Yami to come with us?” asks Ryou.

“I told him we were going dancing,” says Yugi, “but I didn't say where, and of course, I did not tell him that I'm dressing up!” He blushes slightly.

“So, Ryou… do you have a different outfit I could wear or will I have to go in the same set-up?” asks Katsuya looking through Ryou's closet while Ryou waxes Yugi's back.

“Actually, I think you should go for the navy blue silk blouse and the black denim skirt this time,” says Ryou finishing up with Yugi. He looks back at Katsuya to see him pulling the clothes from the closet.

Katsuya smiles. “Nice!”

Ryou moves over to the closet and quickly picks out an outfit for Yugi and tosses the clothing to him. “Yami meeting us here?”

“Yes. He's going to head to the club with us. What about Bakura? Is he coming too?” asks Yugi.

“He'll be escorting us today as well. We can't go into the club with Kat though,” says Ryou, “since she can't be seen with us! We're too embarrassing!”

“You're not embarrassing, but if Seto sees me with you then he'll know that I'm Katsuya,” says the honey-brown eyed boy, “and although I want him to love me, I don't want him to think I'm a cross dresser! I wasn't before this whole mess started, but I guess I am now!”

“You make a sexy girl,” says Bakura smirking as he appears in the room and leans against the doorframe.

“Shove it, Bakura!” snaps Katsuya.

Bakura grunts and looks at Yugi. “You going drag too?”

Yugi blushes and nods his head.

“Try to do something with those spikes so they fall down, Ryou,” says Bakura licking his lips, “Slick them back and down or whatever it is you do. He won't look like a girl with that spike-job of his.”

Yugi's violet eyes widen. “Are you trying to help me, Bakura?”

“I'm helping Ryou, you Pharaoh wanna-be!” Bakura glares at Yugi before turning and walking out of the room.

“That's his way of saying `yes',” says Ryou with a sigh, “Okay, let's get you two into your clothes so we can start on your hair!”

Katsuya and Yugi both nod and start to shed their clothing into fairly neat piles on Ryou's bed while they adorn themselves with the more seductive apparel of the feminine variety.

 

* * *

 

Katsuya is the first person through the doors of On the Verge when the club opens at eight o'clock. He looks around and quickly makes his way to the empty bar, slightly surprised that he doesn't see Seto already sitting there. He doesn't even sit there for five minutes before he hears a familiar voice behind him.

“Waiting for someone?” asks Seto stepping up behind Katsuya wearing a pair of tattered blue jeans and a skin-tight black muscle shirt that shows off his well-muscled torso. He smiles when Katsuya turns around to face him.

“Actually I am.” The burgundy-painted lips curl up in a pleasant smile. Two honey-colored eyes look into Seto's cerulean blue orbs. The emerald eyeliner and sparkling gold eye shadow really draw attention to their natural beauty.

Seto licks his lips and lets his eyes roam across the luscious body of the woman before him.

Blond hair, falling gently around his face, held down by too much moose and hair gel yet still remarkably soft-looking. Silver sparkles adorn Katsuya's face drawing attention to the gold around and within his eyes and the sparkling gloss covering the burgundy lipstick. The navy blue silk blouse has a low oval neckline to reveal some of the smooth flesh beneath but not enough to reveal the breasts or lack there of, and the shirt itself is gathered and tied around the ribs to leave much of the smooth stomach open for inspection. The black denim of the thigh-length skirt hangs about the slender hips, slightly exposing the top of the thong hidden beneath to discreetly entice all who would set eyes on the fair beauty. The thigh-high nylons that bar viewing and caressing the seemingly soft flesh only hinder the long, slender legs, and the legs end with a pair of black, calf-high boots with silver trim.

“Can I get you something to drink?” asks the bartender snapping both Seto and Katsuya out of their evaluation of each other.

Seto raises an eyebrow at Katsuya. “Would you like something, Kat, or would you rather dance?”

Katsuya hears the way Seto stresses the word dance. She stands up. “I would love to dance!”

Seto offers his arm to Katsuya and smiles when she takes it and blushes. He leads her onto the dance floor just as a slow song begins.

Katsuya wraps his arms around Seto's neck and stays at a respectable distance.

 

You wrap your arms around too…

 

Seto wraps his arms around Katsuya's waist and pulls him close so that their bodies almost touch. He inhales the fragrant scent of her strong perfume. `She looks so much like the mutt… if only she smelled like sunshine the way he does… then I could lose myself in her and maybe forget for a moment that I'm the gay CEO of Kaiba Corp. What would happen to Kaiba Corp if anyone ever found out I was gay?'

“What are you thinking about?” asks Katsuya looking through his eyelashes at Seto.

“You smell very nice,” says Seto into Katsuya's ear.

Katsuya chuckles. “Thanks! So do you? What cologne is that?”

“Tommy… my little brother bought it for me for my birthday. I'm not too fond of it, but he thinks it's nice so I wear it to please him,” says Seto. `Why am I telling her that? She doesn't need to know about Mokuba!'

“You must love your brother very much. I wish I had a little brother, but I have a little sister instead. She's very sweet, but she keeps trying to steal my clothes!” exclaims Katsuya. `Hey, it's true! She loves that blue and white t-shirt to death. Maybe I should give it to her since she likes it so much!'

“I wouldn't mind having a little sister,” says Seto pulling Katsuya even closer as a second slow song starts.

“Would you like to trade?” Katsuya's eyes twinkle mischievously.

Seto laughs. “I'm sure they would be thrilled to death about that!”

Katsuya laughs. “I like your laugh. It sounds so nice! You should do it more often, Seto!”

Seto nuzzles his head into Katsuya's neck and lets his hands slide down to rest on two firm butt cheeks.

Katsuya tenses for a moment before relaxing in Seto's arms again.

 

But suddenly I feel the shining sun…

 

The strobe light suddenly flicks on to highlight Seto and Katsuya in a brilliant yellow light for a moment before it starts its cycle of flashing various colored lights throughout the room.

Seto and Katsuya reluctantly move away from each other as the beat of the music picks up to a fast and furious pace. They dance for each other with wild, seductive movements, their hands caressing their own bodies in silent pleas.

“So… do you come here often?” asks Katsuya.

“Not really. Only been here twice. What about you?” asks Seto.

“Same…” Katsuya blushes.

“Did your friends come with you again this time?” asks Seto grabbing Katsuya's exposed waist and pulling him closer to dirty dance with him.

Katsuya spins around quickly with widening eyes. He presses his back up against Seto's and takes Seto's hands to rest on his stomach as he begins to sway in a very erogenous manner to the music. “They didn't come with me this time, but they will be here. More of my friends are coming this time to secretly keep a watch on me!”

“They don't need to protect you. I can do that!” Seto rests his head on Katsuya's shoulder and smiles at her as they dance.

“They think you're the one I need protection from!” exclaims Katsuya chuckling lightly and rubbing Seto's hands with his own.

Bakura and Yami walk into the club and look around, easily spotting Seto and Katsuya dancing together on the dance floor. They both wear very similar black leather pants with near matching leather tops, except that Bakura's shirt is solid black with leather lashings binding it closed and Yami's rich purple shirt buckles up to keep it closed.

“I still can't believe you all talked me into allowing this!” exclaims Yami.

“But Yami… I really wanted to come!” whines Yugi stepping in behind Yami and taking the older spirit's hand.

Yami blushes as he looks at Yugi. His cheeks suddenly seem to match his red eyes as well as the crimson in his red, black, and blond spiky hair. “And I can't believe you're wearing that!”

Ryou walks into the club and steps up on Bakura's other side. He has his white hair pulled into a high ponytail. His leather shirt clings to his chest, and his loose blue denim skirt flutters around his legs. His brown eyes look around the room as he taps his foot on the ground so that his black pumps click on the tile floor. “I think Yugi looks really sexy like that! So if you don't like it, Yami, I'm sure Bakura and I wouldn't mind taking your lover off your hands.”

Yami growls and pulls Yugi close to him. “Mine!”

Yugi blushes and tries to pull down the hem of his really short black leather skirt. His white silk halter-top hugs his body and reveals the soft skin in all the right places. His hair, brushed flat and held with a few hairpins and some moose, caresses his bared shoulders. His feet are encased in black, heel-less boots since he kept tripping with all the other boots Ryou had, and the white thigh-high nylons compliments his already pale skin. He wears bright lavender lipstick with simple black kohl eyeliner and lavender eye shadow, which brings out the full color of his innocent amethyst eyes. He looks around the club. “Oh, Ra! Is that Kaiba and J… uh… Kat dirty dancing?”

Ryou looks in the direction Yugi stares. His eyes widen as he sees Katsuya using his firm derriere to rub up Seto's leg while Seto's hands caress the blonde's arms. “That is Kat and Kaiba!”

“Let's go interrupt, Ryou!” exclaims Bakura, “I'll steal Kat away from Kaiba so you can dance with him!”

“I don't want to dance with Kaiba,” says Ryou blinking at Bakura.

“Then I will steal you away from Kaiba,” says Yami, “That is if you wouldn't mind one dance with him, Yugi.”

“I don't mind,” says Yugi, “So we'll go out and start dancing with our partner, then Bakura and Ryou will try to separate Kat and Kaiba, then Yami and I will separate Kaiba and Ryou. Right?”

“Right!” Bakura drags Ryou onto the dance floor and starts to spin the feminine boy around the floor.

Yami and Yugi hurry out to dance as well.

The song switches to a slightly slower song, but still with a good hip-hop beat.

Bakura and Ryou dance up beside Seto and Katsuya.

 

Before I knew it this dream was all gone…

 

“Cutting in, Kaiba!” exclaims Bakura grabbing Katsuya's waist and pulling him out of Seto's arms and spinning him in a circle away from the now angry brunette.

However, before Seto has a chance to chase after Bakura, Ryou quickly takes the empty place in his arms. “Are you enjoying yourself tonight, Kaiba?”

“I was. What is Bakura doing to my date?” asks Seto trying to locate where the white-haired thief had taken his dance partner.

Ryou shrugs his shoulders. “I don't know. Maybe he's giving Kat tips on how to sexually please your lover. And I don't mean by first-hand experience. Bakura knows better than to cheat on me. He wouldn't live through it.”

“Nice to see you out and about, Kaiba,” says Yami dancing up beside them with Yugi, “I hope you don't mind me cutting in with Ryou here!”

Yugi and Ryou trade places in an instant and Yami leads Ryou away.

Seto blinks as he looks at the much shorter teen in his arms. “You look familiar… Do I know you?”

“You should, Kaiba! We go to school together every day!” exclaims Yugi giggling rather girlishly.

Seto's eyes widen. “Yu-Yu-Yugi?”

Yugi blushes. He nods his head briskly. “How do I look? Ryou and Bakura said they'd try to steal me away from Yami because I look so good!”

“You're… you're…” Seto looks around quickly trying to find something to help him out of this current situation. After all, it isn't everyday he's dancing with his greatest rival and enjoying it. “Nice… Nice… Not as pretty as Kat, but no one here is.”

“A compliment from the great Seto Kaiba? I must be the luckiest person here!” Yugi smiles. “Can I meet this Kat?”

Seto nods and continues to look around. “If I can find her… Bakura stole her away from me.”

“Well… Ryou should be able to find Bakura, and since he's with Yami, I can find him easily enough,” says Yugi closing his eyes.

Seto looks back at Yugi and blushes slightly. `He really does make an attractive woman… Stop thinking that! Yugi is my rival! I don't like him as much as that stupid mutt… Besides I'm here with Kat!'

“I asked Yami to bring Ryou to meet us at the bar,” says Yugi.

“Did the mutt come with you tonight?” asks Seto hopefully.

“Jou said he had a date, and he wouldn't like you calling him a mutt, Kaiba,” says Yugi as they stop dancing and start to make their way up to the bar where they quickly find Ryou and Yami.

“Ryou, where is Kat?” asks Seto as Yugi sits down on a barstool beside Yami.

“I don't know…”

“Don't give me that. You can talk to him the same way Yugi can talk to Yami,” says Seto, “Now make him bring Kat here!”

Ryou sighs and closes his eyes. “Okay. He's on his way, but he sounds angry.”

After a few moments, Bakura brings Katsuya over, forcing Katsuya to walk backwards as they continue to dance.

`That butt looks rather familiar… just like my mutt's. And I would know about that! I spend so much time staring at it!' thinks Seto as Bakura and Katsuya finally reach them.

 

Oh I don't know what to do

About this dream and you…

 

Seto grabs Katsuya from Bakura's arms and pulls the struggling blonde onto his lap. “Did he try to hurt you, Kat?”

“No,” says Katsuya leaning back in Seto's arms, “He was actually very gentle.”

Bakura blushes as Yami snickers. He steps up to Ryou and wraps his arms around his lover, burying his face in the crook of his neck as he does so.

“Okay… stop picking on Bakura, please,” says Ryou.

“Thank you, Ryou,” whispers Bakura so quietly that only the white-haired teen hears it, “I'll give you a special treat tonight in bed.”

Ryou blushes, but he nods his head vigorously. He always does like Bakura's special treats.

“Would you like a drink, Kat? Since we're at the bar anyway?” asks Seto.

“Yes,” says Katsuya smiling.

Seto waves down the bartender. “A round of cokes here!”

“Thanks, Kaiba!” exclaims Yugi once the bartender sets out six cold cans. He grabs his quickly and opens it.

“So… Seto… who're your friends? That spiky haired one is sort of cute,” says Katsuya eyeing Yami.

Seto growls slightly and wraps his arms tighter around Katsuya. “The girl impersonator is Yugi.”

“Yugi Motou! Nice to meet you!” exclaims Yugi offering his hand to Katsuya after taking a drink of his soda.

“My name is Kat,” says Katsuya glancing sideways at Seto as he takes Yugi's hand and shakes it. Then he takes his soda from the bar and opens it to take a quick drink.

“The other is Yami,” says Seto.

“Yami Motou,” says Yami smiling.

“Oh, you're brothers?” asks Katsuya, “There is a striking family resemblance!”

“We're not brothers,” says Yami, “We're… actually intended to be married, which is why we share a last name already…”

“Intended to be married? Is that anything like a betrothal? Where your families decided shortly after your birth that you two were going to marry each other when you came of age?” asks Katsuya.

Yami blinks in shock, obviously surprised that Katsuya knew about arranged marriages.

Bakura snickers.

“Yes… actually it was something very much like that,” says Yami. He smiles and pulls Yugi's stool closer to his own.

“Doesn't explain the resemblance though,” says Katsuya, “You're not really clones, are you? Or maybe the doctors were genetically altering fetuses or something, and you two were the result!”

“You're daft!” exclaims Ryou.

Katsuya laughs and takes another drink from the can. “Hey, it'll happen someday. They've already cloned a sheep. It's only a matter of time before humans get cloned too. Okay, this is a freaky subject.”

“You started it,” says Bakura.

“Which is why I'm changing it!” exclaims Katsuya, “Do you all go to the same school as Seto? How do you know him?”

“Yugi and I go to school with Kaiba,” says Ryou, “but Bakura and Yami don't. Bakura dropped out, and Yami graduated last year.”

Bakura nips Ryou's neck before quickly draining his soda can.

“I'm glad Bakura dropped out of school. He pays more attention to me this way!” exclaims Ryou blushing.

Katsuya nods.

Everyone sits in silence for a moment while they all drink from their respective cans.

“Yami! Let's dance now!” exclaims Yugi excitedly after finishing his drink. He quickly pulls Yami out onto the dance floor.

“Me too?” pleads Ryou nuzzling Bakura.

Katsuya rests his head against Seto's shoulder.

Bakura lifts Ryou and carries him out onto the dance floor.

“Your friends are nice,” says Katsuya.

“They aren't my friends,” says Seto setting down his empty can.

“Oh really? You sure act like they are.”

Seto cuddles up to Katsuya for a moment more before he speaks directly into his ear, “Would you like to dance with me, Kat?”

“Only if you hold me,” says Katsuya quickly.

“I don't plan on letting you go,” says Seto.

 

I wish this dream comes true…

 

Katsuya climbs off Seto's lap, being careful not to let the skirt ride up and show anything he doesn't want seen.

Seto stands and escorts Katsuya out onto the dance floor again.

The music moves the bodies across the floor; no one really caring about anything other than the person in their arms and the beat filling their souls.

Much later, Katsuya and Seto step off the dance floor and happen to catch sight of Yami and Yugi making out at a table with Ryou riding Bakura right across from them.

“It's getting hot in here,” says Katsuya, nearly shouting to be heard over the insanely loud music and other chatter.

“Let's step outside,” says Seto guiding Katsuya towards the exit. They walk out together and relax against the cool wall.

“I didn't realize how stuffy it was in there. There were so many people, I don't know if I could hear myself think!” exclaims Katsuya. He yawns, trying to hide it behind his hand.

“Are you tired?” asks Seto catching sight of the yawn.

“A little… I had a very long week at work, and I'm still trying to recover from it,” says Katsuya, “but I was just having so much fun in there I forgot about it until we came out here!”

“I could drive you home,” says Seto.

“Oh, I don't want to ruin your night!” exclaims Katsuya.

“I don't mind. I'm rather tired as well,” says Seto, “Besides, we could always make up for it next Saturday.”

“Are you asking me out again?” asks Katsuya with wide eyes.

“Of course. You intrigue me,” says Seto smiling. He pushes himself off his section of wall and moves to brace himself against the section where Katsuya stands effectively trapping his date in place. “Would you like to meet me here next Saturday? At the bar at eight o'clock?”

 

Oh I don't know what to do…

 

Katsuya stares into the cerulean eyes. “I like you…”

Seto smiles even wider as he begins to close in the distance between their bodies. “Is that a yes?”

 

About this dream and you…

 

`Is he going to kiss me? Is this a dream? Is this real?' thinks Katsuya.

“I'm waiting.”

“Yes… next Saturday… On the Verge… at the bar… eight o'clock sharp!” exclaims Katsuya smiling.

“Good. Now… you said if I asked nicely you would tell me your last name. Is this nice enough?” Seto closes the distance between them in a heartbeat and presses his lips against Katsuya's.

`Oh Ra! Oh Ra! Oh Ra! He's kissing me!' thinks Katsuya grabbing Seto's neck as they kiss. His eyes close automatically.

 

We'll make this dream come true…

 

Seto allows his eyelids to slide closed. He moves his lips gently, uncertainly against Katsuya's. He smirks to himself when he feels the other respond and kiss him back just as nervously. His eyes shoot open when he feels a wet tongue tentatively brush against his lips. His entire body tenses.

 

Why don't you play the game?

 

`Whoa! Too fast! He doesn't want this! He doesn't want me! He just wants Kat, not Katsuya! He's regretting kissing me!' Katsuya pulls away immediately and turns her eyes from Seto with brightly blushing cheeks. “Chi.”

Seto blinks. He uses his hand to bring Katsuya's face towards his again, and he gazes into those eyes of caramelized honey. A look of confusion darts across his face. “What?”

“My last name is Chi.”

“Lovely… Kat Chi,” whispers Seto, “Come on… I'll take you home, and I'll meet you here next Saturday.”

Katsuya and Seto walk down to Seto's car, and they make the trip to Katsuya's apartment building in silence.

“Is something wrong? You're being rather quiet,” says Seto, “You're usually so bold and brazen.” He smiles. `Just like a certain mutt I know.'

“I'm sorry. I'm just thinking,” says Katsuya, “You've been quiet too.”

“I've been thinking as well,” says Seto stopping the car in front of the building and putting it in park.

“About what?” asks Katsuya.

“About that kiss…”

“And?” Katsuya's heart skips a beat.

“It ended too soon for my liking,” says Seto leaning towards Katsuya again.

Katsuya blushes as he moves to meet Seto halfway. This time, he's the one who tenses when he feels the tongue brushing against his lips after a minute of simple kisses, but he slowly parts his lips to let the questioning tongue into his mouth.

Seto's tongue quickly fills the other's mouth and tastes the sweetness within. He uncertainly darts around secretly wondering where he might be able to get a book explaining the rules of French kissing.

 

Why don't you play the game?

 

After a moment, Katsuya's tongue starts pressing against Seto's, testing it to see what it will do when challenged, and a war of tongues ensues, which Seto surprisingly loses when his tongue is forced back into his mouth. The winning tongue however enters Seto's mouth and immediately begins to explore it thoroughly.

When they finally break for air, Seto sighs and says, “You should probably go now before we do anything else.”

“Such a gentleman! Aren't you even going to try to guess my first name again?”

“Not this time, Kat. Maybe next week.”

Katsuya smiles as he gets out of the car and heads into the building, turning around once he's in to watch Seto starting to drive away.

 

Last night I had a dream about you

In this dream I'm dancing right beside you

And it looked like everyone was having fun

The kind of feeling I've waited so long…
