Kaiba soon found the air stifling and excused himself from the meeting by making up some lie about how he had important matters to attend to. Truth was this meeting was all he had scheduled for the day simply because he knew how long it would take. The prideful male suddenly gave a formidable smirk as he closed the meeting room door behind him. It seems like he has some free time on his hands, though it wasn't until recently that he first found a use for his spare time.
A convention called for a gathering of all the game companies in the area. It was there that Kaiba ran into the creature of Dungeon Dice. He found out he had many things in common with the infamous Otogi. They had often planned little gathering between the two of them simply to talk about business until they had no choice but to speak of each other's life, eventually leading to the two of them dating. Though Kaiba found the man to be one of the very few people he could stand period, he knew they shared no other connection than the fact they both owned their own industries. At least the brunet no longer had to worry about Otogi going after his money simply because he had enough of his own.
Undisturbed in his thoughts, Kaiba strolled to the front entrance after telling the secretary he would be gone for the remainder of the evening. And as usual, the moment he stepped outside, his limousine was awaiting his arrival patiently at the edge of the street. His driver quickly shuffled out of his seat and rushed to open the door for his employer as the CEO slid in across the leather seats. Climbing back into the front seat, the man politely asked where he should go. He was given the same response he normally got on days like this, to the Kaiba mansion of course.
Kaiba's attention dwindled back to the raven haired companion he had been thinking about quite often it seemed. Whether it was just one his naturally correct intuition or a sudden change in though, the young male felt as though Otogi was losing his interest. The CEO no longer felt the spark that had previously been there, for it seemed the other was avoiding him more frequently. Lately he had been denying all of Kaiba's offers to dinner or any other couple-like gatherings.
But surely it hadn't meant anything. Maybe it was only his timing that conflicted with Otogi's schedule, Kaiba would assure himself. So he would try yet again to plan a evening with his boyfriend. Slightly on edge, Kaiba pulled out his cell phone. It was unfortunate that he had now resorted to wishing himself luck this time, and if it failed he would not be so surprised. Dialing Otogi's number, Kaiba impatiently glared out the window, watching the world fly past him. It rang several times and yet still no answer, it wasn't until what seemed to be three minutes later that the call was finally answered.
"Oh, hey Seto." Came the unusually cheerful voice of Otogi.
It sounded almost too suspicious to Kaiba, though yet again he told himself he was paranoid. And he was never one to want to believe he was growing a soft spot for his friend simply because it would make him weak in business. Why should he care if all of a sudden Otogi became overflowed with so much work they rarely spoke or met?
"Otogi, are you busy this afternoon?" He asked with annoyance and frustrate laced in his tone. Of course Otogi wasn't able to tell the difference in tone since they were on phones. The brunet had unconsciously bit his lower lip in anticipation, a habit not even he was aware of.
"Sorry Seto, I loaded with work today, maybe another time." Otogi replied, sounding a little more concern than usual. Kaiba had been too disappointed to take notice to the quite mutterings just in the background. Though even if he had heard them, he would have suspected Otogi to be in his office at the moment with an employee speaking with him. "I should be free this weekend. Well, I have to go now, bye." The boy announced hurriedly before hanging up.
Kaiba instinctively growled now that things weren't going his way as he was use to. He tried to convince himself this happened to everyone, but even that argument was a failed attempt. He roughly turned off his cell phone before shoving it back into his pocket and letting out an anger huff. Crossing his arms and legs, his blue eyes drifted back to the window as he simply stared quietly.
Domino city was simply beautiful at this time of year, but the CEO was too caught up in his own problems to appreciate the brief pleasures nature had to offer. Even the sight of small children happily running around in laughter was not enough to bring him out of his dismal state. Surely his soft spot for his brother Mokuba, back at home, would cheer him up. Though there was a fear not even that could please him at the moment.
He sneered resentfully at the couples walking down the sidewalks and out of shops hand in hand. Their very presence made him sick with envy. Surely he wasn't that bad with finding someone worth his time. Being that he was as rich as he was and as charming, he had never had trouble before finding beautiful young ladies to date. But merely within the first date he had discovered they either had no personality or will of their own, or that they were only interested in his money. He had went out on a limb when he decided to date Otogi, simply because the press would have a field day if they discovered he had taken an interest in males as well as females. Lucky for them both, they had the money to pay off the paparazzi.
Suddenly, like a loud gong being banged in his head, he heard obnoxious laughter just from outside. He shook his head quickly, bring himself back to reality as he finally realized the vehicle had stopped at a red light. Turning back to the side to see where that horridly offensive laughter was coming from, Kaiba sneered in displeasure. Just walking out of a card shop was a rowdy, sandy blonde yelling at a brunet boy about how he was an excellent duelist. But his apparent friend was only laughing at his unconvincing argument. They both seemed to be complete idiots by how they yelled so freely around town. And the shorter boy with them just seemed to be enjoying his friends bickering for he had the most innocent smile on his face. A taller girl was with them, apparently sharing Kaiba's irritation for she had budded in with her own mindless yelling over the matter. Kaiba found them all to be very annoying simply because they were inferior to him.
Great relief flowed over Kaiba as the car went into motion again and the group of teens quickly faded into the distance. It hadn't taken him much longer to reach home, and he couldn't have been happier for that fact. The moment Kaiba stepped in through the doorway, he heard a loud squeal.
"Seto!" The next thing he knew, he was on the floor with a hyperactive Mokuba sitting on his lap and smothering him in a bear hug. "You came home early!" He exclaimed excitedly. For a brief moment, Kaiba had felt regret, for he had only been considering spending time with Otogi this evening when it was his brother that rarely saw him.
A sincere smile graced his normally snarling lips as he patted the boy's unruly hair. "Sorry I've been busy lately Mokuba." Kaiba apologized. He leaned forward and softly pressed his lips against his younger brother's forehead after brushing back the thick black bangs. "How about I take you out tonight?" He offered, seeing as how he had no one better to spend his evening with. And certainly Mokuba was a better companion than any other person he knew.
Mokuba smiled happily as his brother always seemed to let down his protective barrier around him. He knew for a fact, he was the only person to see the real sweet side to Seto, which made him both proud and sad. He wanted his brother to be able to find someone other than him to love and yet he still wanted to have something only Seto shared with him. "Actually Seto...Noah was going to come over and play with me today." The small boy replied humbly, his eyes falling to the floor as he knew it would disappoint his older brother.
"That's alright, we have plenty of time to go out later." Kaiba replied calmly a fresh smile still present though he was hardly in the mood for it. Recently Mokuba had been playing around with that Noah kid and he was suspicious of the boy. He often got the feeling Noah was trying to steal his brother away all together, but he knew they were simply good friends. And Kaiba believed it was good his brother had finally found a friend, since he was often criticized and picked on at school for his wealth.
Kaiba stood up, lifting the boy up off of him and setting him back onto the floor. "You don't have to stay home just because of me Seto, you need time to yourself sometimes. Maybe go out for a night on the town." The black haired boy laughed, waving to his brother before rushing off to prepare for his little play date with Noah.
"I think you are right Mokuba." Kaiba sighed to himself. It was about time he went out just for the fun of it, though it was rare he found going out around Domino city fun. After all he would be stooped to being around rude, unsociable citizens, but that was better than no body, at least he would like to think so.
Finally the limousine came to a steady halt before one of the most popular clubs in town; The Sapphire Dragon. Kaiba had taken specially liking to the place simply because the name reminded him of his favorite duel monster, the Blue eyes White Dragon. He stepped out of the car, immediately grabbing the eyes of many for his attractive appearance. He was among very few that could work a silk, purple dress shirt to the right extinct and tight, black, leather pants and hugged him in all the right places. He simply strode into the building, ignoring the gawking expressions of both women and men.
It didn't surprise him none that he had yet again brought the room into an 'aw' with his presence, all because he was that noticeable and stuck out of the crowd. Kaiba made his way through the maze of people with incredible fluidity, not having bumped or touched anyone as he passed by. His lovely blue eyes cast boring glances toward the dance floor where what appeared to be beginners all dancing freely with each other. He decided he would only will himself over to the dance floor if he found someone worth dancing with, and he was sure that was a slim chance here.
As Kaiba approached the bar he noticed a small gathering of males in one particular area. Curiosity got the best of him and he walked over to see what had grabbed their attention and his own. He managed to look over a few people and could see two young males sitting at a wooden, round table, small glass shorts scattered across the scratchy surface. There was soft cheers and chants as the two boys competed in a drinking contest. A disappointed sigh escaped the brunet's lips as he knew such challengers were beneath him and immature, considering one of the boys at the table didn't look quite old enough to drink.
But his eyes glittered intriguingly as he suddenly recognized the younger looking boy. His short cut sandy blonde hair that nicely framed his perfectly sculpted face, were almost unforgettable. And such beautiful, child-like honey colored eyes that had nearly cast a spell on the young CEO from the close glance. Kaiba would not deny the boy was quite a looker and yet he there were several flaws he had taken notice to right off the bat. For one thing, his loud, uncontrollable yelling and objecting was all too familiar from earlier this morning on Kaiba's way home. And the way he spoke was all but sophisticated in anyway, he was definitely a street punk. It just so happened chance had brought him here to the very same place Kaiba was again.
Surprisingly enough, Kaiba could not force himself to look away from the spectacle the two males were making of themselves. The captivating blonde had already reached his twentieth shot before Kaiba realized how intensely he had been staring and finally stepped away. Instinctively, he began to rub the bridge of his nose. "What's gotten into me?" He asked himself, surely he hadn't found any attraction to the spontaneous boy still racing to drink his entire weight in alcohol. Sensing he needed to capture his thoughts again, Kaiba headed for the bathroom.
Barely a foot past the wooden doors, Kaiba was already disgusted by the position of the unsanitary restrooms. He would later have to make a complaint about it to the managed and surely they would do something about it just for him. He walked over to the sink, switching on the cold water and quickly splashing a decent amount into his face before letting out an exhausted sigh.
"S-stop...we can't do this here..." Came a soft chuckling whispered from the back stall that suddenly sent a startling shiver down Kaiba's spine.
Without really noticing, Kaiba's left eyebrow twitched irritably. He simply hated public sex. They were always in the worst and most nasty places, not to mention it sickened him to know other people's life styles. So hearing the rattling and giggling erupting from the last stall was not at all pleasing to Kaiba. He would have eagerly kicked the door down and gave the couple a sever lashing but something within him kept him from doing so as he heard the other's voice.
"Come on Honda....this is nothing new..." Came the raspy voice between rough kisses or so it sounded. But Kaiba was sure he had heard that voice before. The name of the person was on the tip of his tongue as he tried to recall, his eyes furrowing as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
Surely no one he knew would be so bold as to engage in such activities in a club bathroom. But his heart suddenly stopped and his face went pale as he remembered exactly who that voice belonged to.
"Stop...Otogi...not there..." Begged the giddy male properly getting a thorough dose of affection from none other than Kaiba's very own boyfriend.
The brunet had been too much in a shock to say anything, when normally he would have came in yelling and cussing the cheat out. But something within him had felt physically betrayed and he hadn't the will to do such a thing. A moment longer of listening to the two's muffled whispers and moans had sent Kaiba over the edge and he stumped out of the bathroom, slinging the door roughly behind him. Such a fearsome look was in his eyes that those before him cleared out the way.
"That asshole, I knew there was something up. How could I be so stupid as to trust that bastard?" Kaiba scolded himself and his own weak feelings for allowing themselves to be controlled and toyed with by the lecherous mastermind. Kaiba angrily plopped down on one of the stools at the bar stand, not paying attention to who he had sat beside. He was simply too infuriated to care. "Give me your strongest drink!" He demanded of the bartender, his hand clutching into a fist and his glowered at the table. "I'll fucking kill him before the night is through." He hissed.
It wasn't until a soft almost adorable giggle passed through the lips of someone beside him that Kaiba's anger dwindled and he turned to his side. Immediately his snarling expression faded beneath what appeared to be surprise as he blinked in confusion. The very blonde he had been flaunting over moments before was having a giggling fit beside him, his head laying carelessly on the bar counter, his hair curly and shining with sweat. His goofy smile was both uplifting and annoying for a giddy chuckle escaped him.
Large blue eyes were simply transfixed on the hazy honey orbs staring back at him with such curiosity and happiness. There was no doubt the boy had drank more that his fill of liquor and he probably couldn't differentiate up from down. Kaiba himself was in a silent stupor as the teen continued to laugh at him for no apparent reason. Finally Kaiba was graced with the voice of the intoxicated angel. "Either ya just had a seriously painful dump or ya just caught ya man sleep'in with a skank." Can the hysterical snickering of the fallible male. His words were the last thing Kaiba had suspected and he was quite disappointed to have such wisdom placed down before him in such a lovely being.
He couldn't help but give the boy a disdaining look a he retorted, "actually I caught him with a man-whore, not like that's anything your drunk ass can comprehend." Kaiba replied coolly, his equanimity returning to him quicker than he thought.
"I'm not wasted!" Came the defiant slur of the blonde. Kaiba sighed, shaking his head. Why did such an appealing guy have to be so drunk he couldn't even tell? "I'll even prove it!" The boy exclaimed with a gleeful smile as he struggled to his feet. He grabbed hold of the counter and steadied himself, as if this wasn't proof enough he was too intoxicated to even walk. He tried to take one step forward but ended up stumbling and nearly falling on his face if not for Kaiba's strong arms catching him the very next moment. "Hey! Who ask for ya help moneybags!" He yelled out, trying to swipe away Kaiba's hands so he could escape, but the other male kept a tight grip on him.
"Luck here, you are too drunk to drive home much less even walk straight!" Kaiba explained, his patience fading as the teen still tried to force his way out of his arms. If he had to, Kaiba would have knocked the male out, but he didn't think the moment called for such extremes. "I'll drive you home." He insisted quickly, which surprised the boy enough he had stopped his fidgeting.
"Why the hell would I let ya do dhat?" The blonde slurred again, his vision already unfocused and whimsical.
"Because you are going to end up dead in an alleyway if I let you leave here now alone." Kaiba said sternly. He knew the chances of drunk teenagers were getting kidnapped or raped and eventually killed, and he was sure this boy would be a prime target being that the entire club had witnessed his intoxication. Kaiba's declaration seemed to be unheard to the boy, until finally he nodded slowly, his expression not as uplifting as it was before.
Kaiba was some what relieved the boy was allowing him to drive him home. "Good, now where do you live?" He asked seriously, straightening the boy up before draping his arm around his neck. He slowly helped the woozy teen to the door using himself as support. Oddly enough, this was the very last thing he saw himself doing by the end of the evening, showing pity to some drunk punk.
The limousine pulled up just before the two males, though surprising the blonde. "Ya got one sweet ride herya, moneybags." The boy replied with his careless grinning as he was carried over to the door and helped into the back seat. Kaiba slid in close beside him, his worry raising as the boy seemed to not deal well with the motion of the car.
He had yet to get an address from the blonde yet, but he would not rush him simply because he knew it might frustrate the teen if he could not remember. Though there was one thing Kaiba could not excuse without knowing. "What's your name?" He asked, his stare intense with calamity and protectiveness. Though this seemed to comfort the teen little as he tossed his head back against the seat and closed his eyes. Surely he was developing a massive headache and could not cope well with the questions and movement.
"It's....Katsuya...Jounouchi..." He finally managed to say between slow and stead breaths. Kaiba found himself subconsciously gulping as he had been staring at how the teen's luscious lips looked so inviting and moist as they parted to speak his name. Even his delicate throat was taunting with his head thrown back and his breathing uneasy. How could one person manage to look so attractive accidentally? Kaiba cursed himself for these suddenly uncontrollable urges. Surely he was not this weak in the knees whenever he made out with Otogi. There had always been a physical attraction between them, but now that he thought about it, there was no other spark they shared. At the moment Kaiba felt something more than desire. "So what's ya name moneybags, or ya too good to tell meh?" Jounouchi asked with a short chuckle that caused his stomach to move some.
Kaiba found himself once again flaunting over the boy's looks and how the acute amount of blush complemented his cheeks. It took a moment to comprehend the question and finally he answered. "My name is Seto Kaiba." He retorted. At least he didn't have to worry about this boy remembering any of this in the morning. He couldn't have his reputation jeopardized just because some guy knew he actually 'had' a boyfriend who cheated on him. But for the moment Kaiba was more worried about another matter. "Why were you at the club alone?" He asked urgently. "If you were going to drink, why didn't you have a designated driver?" Kaiba questioned, his expression that of a parent warning their teens of the dangers in life.
Though that lock dissipated as a soft chuckle broke out into the car from the smiling blonde. "Wow Seto, you must drive your siblings crazy." He teased, brushing back his sandy locks. Kaiba's own face had a tinge of pink, had he really sounded so parental? And more important, Katsuya sounded incredibly sexy saying his name like that. It was rare Kaiba allowed anyone to call him by his first name. So to have this helpless sap call him that so freely made Kaiba nervous, which even frightened him. The boy's smile alone had melted his strong barriers and reduced him to a puddle. "Actually I have a younger sister, s I got ya." He giggled uncontrollably, his head falling into his cupped palms. "If ya wanta know though, I came with two of meh friends, but..." Such a heedless smile sunk beneath a depressed frown. "They ditched me in there. So I figured, what the hell why not go against some guy that challenged meh." Jou confessed, his eyes solemn with remembrance. In a way Kaiba truly felt sorry for the blonde. Jounouchi suddenly winced as the car came over a bump road, Kaiba apparently thought nothing of the reaction.
Kaiba was now more insistent that he get the boy home, but he had yet to get any address from the blonde and by the lucks of it he would be getting it soon. The young brunet’s ears suddenly tingled as the back seat filled with the sound of the blonde angel's moaning. "Are you alright Katsuya?" He asked worried, his hand finding it's way to the teen's shoulder. Never before had he showed so much concern for anyone other than his brother, Kaiba was beginning to think all this had to be a dream. Otogi cheating on him seemed so unreal and now finding an incredibly drop dead gorgeous drunk at the club. "Katsuya?" He questioned again, tugging on the shoulders in order to get the boy to look at him.
Almost too quick for Kaiba to recognize, Jounouchi's face turned a sickly green and his head came jerking down as his form pulled out from Kaiba's grip. The unpleasant sound of chucking was the only thing to be heard for nearly a whole minute as the blonde had quickly emptied out all of his contents right onto the appalled CEO's lap. "What the hell?!" Kaiba yelled, his eyes widened with disgust and terror as he suddenly found himself covered in some rather fowl smelling substance.
Kaiba managed to jerked Jounouchi back up as the flow came to an unexpected halt. Of course the only thing going through his mind now was how to kill the blonde and whether or not he get him to pay the dry cleaning bill and the damage to the inside of his limousine. But even his furious thoughts evaporated as the boy quickly fell unconscious in his arms. "Crap." Kaiba growled, looking down at his garments and then at the sleeping blonde now heavily leaning on his shoulder.
Before this evening he didn't think he deserved any of this. Since when had he so much bad luck in the course of nine hours. Yes, he now believed luck was the only thing that could turn his life upside down so quickly. His face twisted into an enraged glare as the driver lightly tossed a glance his way through the revere mirror, causing the man to yelp and quickly return his eyes back on the road. "Uh...where to Master K-Kaiba?" He stuttered cowardly.
The brunet sighed finally, there was only one place to go, home. Since the blonde had be courteous enough to throw up on him and pass out all for telling him where he lived. Plus, Kaiba wanted to get cleaned up as soon as possible. "Back to the mansion." He order, leaning back more into his seat, tossing his own head back. "At least it can't get any worse than this." He replied with a depressed whimper. He knew the moment he got back home, he would be in for a chorus of laughter from Mokuba. He almost regretted having a little brother at this moment.

01. When Things Fall Apart
As history has presented many times before, Mondays would naturally be unlucky. But of course one young, egotistical CEO named Seto Kaiba, didn't believe in such a thing as luck. After all he simply didn't stumble across his great wealth and good fortune by sheer luck; he had worked his way up to the top. And it was not luck that had kept him and his brother together all this time. Being the highly educated man he was, Kaiba justified life through logic and science, not magic and luck. Though at this very moment he believed it to be a miracle he hadn't fallen asleep yet. This very important cooperate meeting simply bored Kaiba. It was only a gathering of old men complaining that their own companies were not getting their fair share of the profit for their contribution in production. Such matters seemed unimportant to the young, aggravated CEO.Kaiba soon found the air stifling and excused himself from the meeting by making up some lie about how he had important matters to attend to. Truth was this meeting was all he had scheduled for the day simply because he knew how long it would take. The prideful male suddenly gave a formidable smirk as he closed the meeting room door behind him. It seems like he has some free time on his hands, though it wasn't until recently that he first found a use for his spare time.

A sincere smile graced his normally snarling lips as he patted the boy's unruly hair. "Sorry I've been busy lately Mokuba." Kaiba apologized.

He offered, seeing as how he had no one better to spend his evening with. And certainly Mokuba was a better companion than any other person he knew.
Mokuba smiled happily as his brother always seemed to let down his protective barrier around him. He knew for a fact, he was the only person to see the real sweet side to Seto, which made him both proud and sad. He wanted his brother to be able to find someone other than him to love and yet he still wanted to have something only Seto shared with him. "Actually Seto...Noah was going to come over and play with me today." The small boy replied humbly, his eyes falling to the floor as he knew it would disappoint his older brother.
"That's alright, we have plenty of time to go out later." Kaiba replied calmly a fresh smile still present though he was hardly in the mood for it. Recently Mokuba had been playing around with that Noah kid and he was suspicious of the boy. He often got the feeling Noah was trying to steal his brother away all together, but he knew they were simply good friends. And Kaiba believed it was good his brother had finally found a friend, since he was often criticized and picked on at school for his wealth.
Kaiba stood up, lifting the boy up off of him and setting him back onto the floor. "You don't have to stay home just because of me Seto, you need time to yourself sometimes. Maybe go out for a night on the town." The black haired boy laughed, waving to his brother before rushing off to prepare for his little play date with Noah.
"I think you are right Mokuba." Kaiba sighed to himself. It was about time he went out just for the fun of it, though it was rare he found going out around Domino city fun. After all he would be stooped to being around rude, unsociable citizens, but that was better than no body, at least he would like to think so.
~.:Xx...X...xX:.~
The night time streets were filled with the constant hustle and bustle of rambunctious teens and young adults all collecting out onto the sidewalks to seek some perfect evening fun. Kaiba, sadly enough, was among them, of course he was not as excited for his ride had to occasionally stop to allow civilians to cross the street and they were getting nowhere. He already regretted his thoughts of having came out here and dressed for the occasion as well. It was foolish of him to think he would find any place or person to distract him from his busy life and job.Finally the limousine came to a steady halt before one of the most popular clubs in town; The Sapphire Dragon. Kaiba had taken specially liking to the place simply because the name reminded him of his favorite duel monster, the Blue eyes White Dragon. He stepped out of the car, immediately grabbing the eyes of many for his attractive appearance. He was among very few that could work a silk, purple dress shirt to the right extinct and tight, black, leather pants and hugged him in all the right places. He simply strode into the building, ignoring the gawking expressions of both women and men.
It didn't surprise him none that he had yet again brought the room into an 'aw' with his presence, all because he was that noticeable and stuck out of the crowd. Kaiba made his way through the maze of people with incredible fluidity, not having bumped or touched anyone as he passed by. His lovely blue eyes cast boring glances toward the dance floor where what appeared to be beginners all dancing freely with each other. He decided he would only will himself over to the dance floor if he found someone worth dancing with, and he was sure that was a slim chance here.
As Kaiba approached the bar he noticed a small gathering of males in one particular area. Curiosity got the best of him and he walked over to see what had grabbed their attention and his own. He managed to look over a few people and could see two young males sitting at a wooden, round table, small glass shorts scattered across the scratchy surface. There was soft cheers and chants as the two boys competed in a drinking contest. A disappointed sigh escaped the brunet's lips as he knew such challengers were beneath him and immature, considering one of the boys at the table didn't look quite old enough to drink.
But his eyes glittered intriguingly as he suddenly recognized the younger looking boy. His short cut sandy blonde hair that nicely framed his perfectly sculpted face, were almost unforgettable. And such beautiful, child-like honey colored eyes that had nearly cast a spell on the young CEO from the close glance. Kaiba would not deny the boy was quite a looker and yet he there were several flaws he had taken notice to right off the bat. For one thing, his loud, uncontrollable yelling and objecting was all too familiar from earlier this morning on Kaiba's way home. And the way he spoke was all but sophisticated in anyway, he was definitely a street punk. It just so happened chance had brought him here to the very same place Kaiba was again.
Surprisingly enough, Kaiba could not force himself to look away from the spectacle the two males were making of themselves. The captivating blonde had already reached his twentieth shot before Kaiba realized how intensely he had been staring and finally stepped away. Instinctively, he began to rub the bridge of his nose. "What's gotten into me?" He asked himself, surely he hadn't found any attraction to the spontaneous boy still racing to drink his entire weight in alcohol. Sensing he needed to capture his thoughts again, Kaiba headed for the bathroom.
Barely a foot past the wooden doors, Kaiba was already disgusted by the position of the unsanitary restrooms. He would later have to make a complaint about it to the managed and surely they would do something about it just for him. He walked over to the sink, switching on the cold water and quickly splashing a decent amount into his face before letting out an exhausted sigh.
"S-stop...we can't do this here..." Came a soft chuckling whispered from the back stall that suddenly sent a startling shiver down Kaiba's spine.
Without really noticing, Kaiba's left eyebrow twitched irritably. He simply hated public sex. They were always in the worst and most nasty places, not to mention it sickened him to know other people's life styles. So hearing the rattling and giggling erupting from the last stall was not at all pleasing to Kaiba. He would have eagerly kicked the door down and gave the couple a sever lashing but something within him kept him from doing so as he heard the other's voice.
"Come on Honda....this is nothing new..." Came the raspy voice between rough kisses or so it sounded. But Kaiba was sure he had heard that voice before. The name of the person was on the tip of his tongue as he tried to recall, his eyes furrowing as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
Surely no one he knew would be so bold as to engage in such activities in a club bathroom. But his heart suddenly stopped and his face went pale as he remembered exactly who that voice belonged to.
"Stop...Otogi...not there..." Begged the giddy male properly getting a thorough dose of affection from none other than Kaiba's very own boyfriend.
The brunet had been too much in a shock to say anything, when normally he would have came in yelling and cussing the cheat out. But something within him had felt physically betrayed and he hadn't the will to do such a thing. A moment longer of listening to the two's muffled whispers and moans had sent Kaiba over the edge and he stumped out of the bathroom, slinging the door roughly behind him. Such a fearsome look was in his eyes that those before him cleared out the way.
"That asshole, I knew there was something up. How could I be so stupid as to trust that bastard?" Kaiba scolded himself and his own weak feelings for allowing themselves to be controlled and toyed with by the lecherous mastermind. Kaiba angrily plopped down on one of the stools at the bar stand, not paying attention to who he had sat beside. He was simply too infuriated to care. "Give me your strongest drink!" He demanded of the bartender, his hand clutching into a fist and his glowered at the table. "I'll fucking kill him before the night is through." He hissed.
It wasn't until a soft almost adorable giggle passed through the lips of someone beside him that Kaiba's anger dwindled and he turned to his side. Immediately his snarling expression faded beneath what appeared to be surprise as he blinked in confusion. The very blonde he had been flaunting over moments before was having a giggling fit beside him, his head laying carelessly on the bar counter, his hair curly and shining with sweat. His goofy smile was both uplifting and annoying for a giddy chuckle escaped him.
Large blue eyes were simply transfixed on the hazy honey orbs staring back at him with such curiosity and happiness. There was no doubt the boy had drank more that his fill of liquor and he probably couldn't differentiate up from down. Kaiba himself was in a silent stupor as the teen continued to laugh at him for no apparent reason. Finally Kaiba was graced with the voice of the intoxicated angel. "Either ya just had a seriously painful dump or ya just caught ya man sleep'in with a skank." Can the hysterical snickering of the fallible male. His words were the last thing Kaiba had suspected and he was quite disappointed to have such wisdom placed down before him in such a lovely being.
He couldn't help but give the boy a disdaining look a he retorted, "actually I caught him with a man-whore, not like that's anything your drunk ass can comprehend." Kaiba replied coolly, his equanimity returning to him quicker than he thought.
"I'm not wasted!" Came the defiant slur of the blonde. Kaiba sighed, shaking his head. Why did such an appealing guy have to be so drunk he couldn't even tell? "I'll even prove it!" The boy exclaimed with a gleeful smile as he struggled to his feet. He grabbed hold of the counter and steadied himself, as if this wasn't proof enough he was too intoxicated to even walk. He tried to take one step forward but ended up stumbling and nearly falling on his face if not for Kaiba's strong arms catching him the very next moment. "Hey! Who ask for ya help moneybags!" He yelled out, trying to swipe away Kaiba's hands so he could escape, but the other male kept a tight grip on him.
"Luck here, you are too drunk to drive home much less even walk straight!" Kaiba explained, his patience fading as the teen still tried to force his way out of his arms. If he had to, Kaiba would have knocked the male out, but he didn't think the moment called for such extremes. "I'll drive you home." He insisted quickly, which surprised the boy enough he had stopped his fidgeting.
"Why the hell would I let ya do dhat?" The blonde slurred again, his vision already unfocused and whimsical.
"Because you are going to end up dead in an alleyway if I let you leave here now alone." Kaiba said sternly. He knew the chances of drunk teenagers were getting kidnapped or raped and eventually killed, and he was sure this boy would be a prime target being that the entire club had witnessed his intoxication. Kaiba's declaration seemed to be unheard to the boy, until finally he nodded slowly, his expression not as uplifting as it was before.
Kaiba was some what relieved the boy was allowing him to drive him home. "Good, now where do you live?" He asked seriously, straightening the boy up before draping his arm around his neck. He slowly helped the woozy teen to the door using himself as support. Oddly enough, this was the very last thing he saw himself doing by the end of the evening, showing pity to some drunk punk.
The limousine pulled up just before the two males, though surprising the blonde. "Ya got one sweet ride herya, moneybags." The boy replied with his careless grinning as he was carried over to the door and helped into the back seat. Kaiba slid in close beside him, his worry raising as the boy seemed to not deal well with the motion of the car.
He had yet to get an address from the blonde yet, but he would not rush him simply because he knew it might frustrate the teen if he could not remember. Though there was one thing Kaiba could not excuse without knowing. "What's your name?" He asked, his stare intense with calamity and protectiveness. Though this seemed to comfort the teen little as he tossed his head back against the seat and closed his eyes. Surely he was developing a massive headache and could not cope well with the questions and movement.
"It's....Katsuya...Jounouchi..." He finally managed to say between slow and stead breaths. Kaiba found himself subconsciously gulping as he had been staring at how the teen's luscious lips looked so inviting and moist as they parted to speak his name. Even his delicate throat was taunting with his head thrown back and his breathing uneasy. How could one person manage to look so attractive accidentally? Kaiba cursed himself for these suddenly uncontrollable urges. Surely he was not this weak in the knees whenever he made out with Otogi. There had always been a physical attraction between them, but now that he thought about it, there was no other spark they shared. At the moment Kaiba felt something more than desire. "So what's ya name moneybags, or ya too good to tell meh?" Jounouchi asked with a short chuckle that caused his stomach to move some.
Kaiba found himself once again flaunting over the boy's looks and how the acute amount of blush complemented his cheeks. It took a moment to comprehend the question and finally he answered. "My name is Seto Kaiba." He retorted. At least he didn't have to worry about this boy remembering any of this in the morning. He couldn't have his reputation jeopardized just because some guy knew he actually 'had' a boyfriend who cheated on him. But for the moment Kaiba was more worried about another matter. "Why were you at the club alone?" He asked urgently. "If you were going to drink, why didn't you have a designated driver?" Kaiba questioned, his expression that of a parent warning their teens of the dangers in life.
Though that lock dissipated as a soft chuckle broke out into the car from the smiling blonde. "Wow Seto, you must drive your siblings crazy." He teased, brushing back his sandy locks. Kaiba's own face had a tinge of pink, had he really sounded so parental? And more important, Katsuya sounded incredibly sexy saying his name like that. It was rare Kaiba allowed anyone to call him by his first name. So to have this helpless sap call him that so freely made Kaiba nervous, which even frightened him. The boy's smile alone had melted his strong barriers and reduced him to a puddle. "Actually I have a younger sister, s I got ya." He giggled uncontrollably, his head falling into his cupped palms. "If ya wanta know though, I came with two of meh friends, but..." Such a heedless smile sunk beneath a depressed frown. "They ditched me in there. So I figured, what the hell why not go against some guy that challenged meh." Jou confessed, his eyes solemn with remembrance. In a way Kaiba truly felt sorry for the blonde. Jounouchi suddenly winced as the car came over a bump road, Kaiba apparently thought nothing of the reaction.
Kaiba was now more insistent that he get the boy home, but he had yet to get any address from the blonde and by the lucks of it he would be getting it soon. The young brunet’s ears suddenly tingled as the back seat filled with the sound of the blonde angel's moaning. "Are you alright Katsuya?" He asked worried, his hand finding it's way to the teen's shoulder. Never before had he showed so much concern for anyone other than his brother, Kaiba was beginning to think all this had to be a dream. Otogi cheating on him seemed so unreal and now finding an incredibly drop dead gorgeous drunk at the club. "Katsuya?" He questioned again, tugging on the shoulders in order to get the boy to look at him.
Almost too quick for Kaiba to recognize, Jounouchi's face turned a sickly green and his head came jerking down as his form pulled out from Kaiba's grip. The unpleasant sound of chucking was the only thing to be heard for nearly a whole minute as the blonde had quickly emptied out all of his contents right onto the appalled CEO's lap. "What the hell?!" Kaiba yelled, his eyes widened with disgust and terror as he suddenly found himself covered in some rather fowl smelling substance.
Kaiba managed to jerked Jounouchi back up as the flow came to an unexpected halt. Of course the only thing going through his mind now was how to kill the blonde and whether or not he get him to pay the dry cleaning bill and the damage to the inside of his limousine. But even his furious thoughts evaporated as the boy quickly fell unconscious in his arms. "Crap." Kaiba growled, looking down at his garments and then at the sleeping blonde now heavily leaning on his shoulder.
Before this evening he didn't think he deserved any of this. Since when had he so much bad luck in the course of nine hours. Yes, he now believed luck was the only thing that could turn his life upside down so quickly. His face twisted into an enraged glare as the driver lightly tossed a glance his way through the revere mirror, causing the man to yelp and quickly return his eyes back on the road. "Uh...where to Master K-Kaiba?" He stuttered cowardly.
The brunet sighed finally, there was only one place to go, home. Since the blonde had be courteous enough to throw up on him and pass out all for telling him where he lived. Plus, Kaiba wanted to get cleaned up as soon as possible. "Back to the mansion." He order, leaning back more into his seat, tossing his own head back. "At least it can't get any worse than this." He replied with a depressed whimper. He knew the moment he got back home, he would be in for a chorus of laughter from Mokuba. He almost regretted having a little brother at this moment.
