Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ It Started With Snow ❯ Part 3 ( Chapter 3 )

It Started With Snow

Wow, another chapter. I'm glad to see this fic's starting to get some reviews. I just got done watching Lord of the Rings again and have an idea for that series as well. But, you guys have been great and I wanted to get this out for you all.

Legalities: Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! I do however own Viggo Mortenson and Orlando Bloom…oh wait…no I don't. Darn hallucinogenic mushrooms…=) Anyway, nothing is mine, except for the plot, or lack thereof.

~Previous Chapter~

Picking up the nearest phone, Kaiba handed it to the blonde. "Dial it, or I'll get the number for myself and call your father. Either way you're staying."

Jou took the phone, called his house and got the answering machine. Leaving a message for his dad, he hung up. "There, happy now?"

Before he could think, Kaiba answered, "Yes, very much so." then flushed as his words caught up with him. In a pathetic attempt to cover his mistake, he added, "Let's go find you something you like.

~Chapter 3~

Upstairs in Kaiba's room, Jou was going through some of the CEO's extra night clothes. He'd already picked out a few things and was beginning to give up when Kaiba came in to check on the blonde.

"Find something you like?" Kaiba said honestly hoping that his Puppy had picked something to match his beautiful amber eyes. "I'm doing it again…"he thought. "If I keep thinking like that, I'm not going to last the night without having him next to me."

Turning to face Kaiba, Jounouchi replied shyly, "I think. Umm…Kaiba?"

"Yes?"

Jou blushed furiously, "Where can I get dressed?" he asked looking around.

"Oh god…he SO did not ask me that." Kaiba thought to himself. To Jou, he answered, "In here if you want. I'll just go check on Mokuba. He never seems to figure out that when I tell him lights out, that it means games off…"Kaiba trailed.

"Oh, okay." Jou sighed. "I was kind of hoping he'd stay. I don't feel so out of place when he's around" he thought to himself.

"What? Did you want me to stay while you changed?" Kaiba said with a hint of amusement in his voice. As he turned to tease the blonde teen further, all Kaiba saw was Jou. Naked from the waist up, and to Kaiba, it was the most beautiful sight. "Damn!" He whispered his approval of Jou's toned back.

Jou spun around, not expecting to see ice blue eyes inspecting him. His face flushed a bright crimson at the close scrutiny. "How…what…you…" were all the words the blonde teen's brain could muster.

"You're beautiful Jounouchi." Kaiba admired. Suddenly his eyes dropped and the midnight blue bedspread became very interesting. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." Kaiba apologized.

"Kaiba…you're…gay?" Jou couldn't believe what his mind was telling him.

Kaiba simply asked, "Is that a crime?"

"No…not at all…but, there must be tons of girls who'd love to go out with you."

"True, but none of them has ever enthralled me so much as one special person." Kaiba admitted, sitting on the bed beside Jou who looked like he'd just heard the world was being taken over by camels.

"Damn," Jou thought. "I find out the one person I've been hoping would be gay is, and I can't go after him because he's already found someone. "He's a lucky guy." Jounouchi said to the brunette beside him as he sat down on the bed.

Smiling slightly, Kaiba looked right at Jou. "You're right. However, I doubt if he'd return my feelings. I've been anything but nice to him. Since the day we met, I've done nothing but insult him, call him names, and put him down for his dueling ability."

"Sounds familiar." Jou chided. "Seems like that's all you do…to…me…" He looked at Kaiba and just stared into alluring blue eyes. "No way! This can't be real…you never even hinted that you liked me till today!"

Watching his Pup process the information he was just given, Kaiba reached out and took hold of Jou's hand. "I assure you, it's all true. I've been taken with you since I saw you in Yugi's grandfather's shop. Jou, I'm sorry. I understand if you think I'm a real ass for how I've treated you."

Finding his voice after the shock of hearing Kaiba apologize for the past, "I never thought of you as anything like that." Jou put his head down, not able to look into those eyes again. "I know I'm a nuisance to everyone."

"Jounouchi Katsuya! If you EVER speak that way about yourself again in my presence, I will personally see to it to change that thinking." Kaiba said angrily. After a minute, he said more gently, "It's just that, to me, you're perfect as you are. Jou, please…would you do something for me?"

"Umm…I guess." Jou answered, wondering what he'd have to do.

"Jounouchi, would you want to have a relationship with an ass?" Kaiba proposed seriously.

"Me…you…us…"Jou stammered, again his brain ceasing to function properly.

"Should I take that as a yes?" Kaiba smirked.

"Yes! Oh god yes. I never thought this would happen…" Jou impulsively wrapped his arms around the CEO's neck

"Hmm…been around Yugi too long already." Kaiba laughed, returning the embrace. "Come on, Pup, it's getting late and you need to finish getting ready for bed."

Looking at Kaiba, who was still dressed in jeans and a shirt, "I think you need to change too. Unless you sleep fully clothed."

"And what if I do?" challenged the taller teen.

Jou ran his hands over Kaiba's chest and started to untuck the shirt. "Then I'm going to have to help you change to something more appropriate." Jou answered as he began to remove the offending shirt.

Minutes later, Kaiba was waiting on his blonde Puppy to come back into the bedroom. "You sure do take forever to get ready for bed. I'm going to have to remember that." Kaiba noted as Jou came back and settled beside him on the edge of the bed.

"Are you sure you're okay with this? The sleeping arrangements, I mean." Jounouchi asked suddenly.

Pulling Jou in close, Kaiba whispered in his ear, "I am if you are. Besides, I don't need you getting cold or lost in the middle of the night."

"I don't get cold." Jou stated indignantly. Then, his eyes fixed on something on the wall across from the bed. It was another drawing done by Kaiba. This one was of Jou just after summoning a Red-Eyes. "Kaiba…"

"Rule number one. If we're going to go anywhere in this relationship, you won't be calling me something everyone else does." Kaiba warned. "You're allowed to call me Seto." Seeing Jou eye him cautiously, he added, "I'm not going to yell at you or anything. Trust me. Now, what were you so amazed with, Love?"

Jou pointed to the picture, "It's amazing!" He turned to look at his love. "When did you do it and for that matter, when were you interested in art?"

"When I did it was during the first few days of Battle City. When I was interested in art was always. But that's another story." Kaiba confirmed with a yawn.

Jou took the cue to move closer to Kaiba. "Kai…Seto, I…love you." The words felt strange coming from him, but felt right too.

"Pup, I've loved you since that first day." Kaiba wrapped an arm protectively around Jou. "Tomorrow if you want, we can take a short tour of this place if you want."

"Sounds nice." Jou mumbled sleepily. "How come you still get to call me names?" Jou asked.

"I didn't." Kaiba answered a little confused, then as it hit him, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you that. I've just always called you that as a pet name. I'm sorry."

Jou turned to face Kaiba. "I don't want you to. I was just kidding you, Dragon."

"Dragon is it? I like that. Now, go to sleep, Mutt before I decide to toast your hide." Giving Jou a final kiss, both boys drifted off into a contented sleep.

As always, comments and the like are welcome. I enjoy reading what you have to say, and try listening to you. Bear with me on this story as it's going to be my longest one, and possibly the first lemon one (no promises, though).

Flames will be recycled so I can buy myself a muse. If anyone knows of where to get one cheap, please let me know.

Now for the fun stuffs:

Thanks goes to:

Star Light Shadow: If you want to see more reviews, tell some friends. I don't mind, really! =) Thanks for the wonderful comments on the story, and I hope I made at least making a decent attempt at the Seto x Jou for you.

Lady Asia00: I'm working on the "good" stuff! Really, I am. I'm just not much of a lemon writer. Hang with me, I'll get there. Besides, anticipation's half the fun. =) Thanks for reviewing!

*Elisabeth *Marie *Rose*: Thank you for the kind words on the chapter. It's appreciated. Also, I never thought of Seto as an artist, either. It just kind of fell in there and sounded good. Now, however, I think I could see him drawing. Especially if he thought nobody was watching, or would ever see it. =)

Thanks to all of you. You're all wonderful, and I'm glad you took the time to review. If you like what you've read, check out my other stories. Most of the ratings are on the "safe" side.

Till next chapter! Ja ne!
