Jounouchi Katsuya was pathetically grumbling into the cushion of his couch. One could so easily think he was sulking over the fight last night, but he would quickly come back saying sulking was beneath hi. No Jounouchi sulked over such pointless and mind-numbing issues. But then why was it he had been moping around the apartment since he arrived late last night? Kaiba couldn't make him feel this depressed. Yet, why was he drowning his head into the pillow with hopes of disappearing before he had to go to school tomorrow. He already ditched the gang once to go with Kaiba, and now he was too gloomy to answer any phone calls. So far Yugi had called three times, leaving a message begging Jou to come to the movies with them today.

Though Jou had been kindly complimented by some rich weirdo, he didn't feel any better than he did bear. He had been frustrated enough to decide he wouldn't forgive Kaiba even if the jerk came crawling on his knees in a maid's outfit. Though imagining such a thing only made Jou miss Kaiba more; his soft features and strong body. No matter what the other male wore, Jou was sure it would look great on him. So much for trying to forget the bastard and cheer up.

Just as Jou was getting use to his sorry condition, the door bell rung, sending the most irritating of sounds echoing throughout the apartment. Naturally Jou would have rushed o the door, looking forward to seeing on of his friends. But he was hardly up for their complaining about his absence. Jou simply groaned into the fluffy cushions of the couch and turned over so his back was to the entrance. The bell rung persistently after that, never ceasing when the teen thought it would finally end.

"Katsuya! Get your lazy ass off the couch and answer the fucking door!" His father yelled the next moment. If only the old buzzard had went out drinking our something, Jou could enjoy his peace and ignore the guest, perhaps make them think he wasn't here. But thanks to his father's loud demanded, it was obvious that he was in fact home and able enough to answer the door.

With an annoyed look on his face, Jou rolled off the couch and stumbled over to the door. He threw it open without a second thought. But merely catching a glimpse of the determined soul standing at the door, Jou quickly slammed it shut. He leaned his back against the door, his heart suddenly pounding in his chest. Hell no, he did not just see 'him' at the door. It couldn't be. Why the hell would the Seto Kaiba be at his door?

"Jou open the door!" Came the familiar booming voice from other side. Kaiba was not in the mood for Jou's stupidity. His head was throbbing with a growing ach and his brow was twitching in annoyance. He had to admit that even he wasn't scary enough to make Jou recoil like that.

Despite himself, Kaiba had really come here to apologize, not that it made much of a difference now that the door was once again in his face. But if he was going to take care of things with Otogi, he was going to need to handle Jou first. Just like Mokuba had said, the honey haired male was bound to be more unforgiving the longer he waited. And with Jou's natural jinx syndrome, Kaiba wouldn't be surprised if Katsuya was in a full body cast by the time he came to him again. The punk was just prone to accidents and mishaps, ones in which Kaiba was the only one who could fix them.

The door remained closed for another minute or two. Kaiba figured either Jou was gathering what little courage he had to face him or was simply waiting for him to leave. And since Kaiba had no intention of leaving, Jou would just have to be a man about the situation. Finally the woodened entrance creaked open as Jou pushed it just a crack. Glistening honey eyes glowered at the brunet, making Kaiba more disappointed with himself.

"What do you want Kaiba? I thought you got out everything you wanted to say yesterday." Jou nearly hissed, his eyes narrow with what appeared to be never ending hatred.

Kaiba sighed dramatically and stepped forward. Just before Jounouchi had a chance to slam the door in his face again, the brunet violently shoved the door in, knocking Jou further inside. Kaiba let himself in, staring seriously at the sandy blond that gave him chills with the vicious look in his once kind, loving eyes. "It seems I wasn't able to get everything off my chest." Kaiba confessed.

"Oh, and I suppose you want to tell me to leave the country or something because my simply being here is causing you trouble and misfortune?" Katsuya snarled.

"Hardy idiot." Kaiba grunted. "I came to say I'm sorry." The malicious expression almost instantly left the other's face. Jou stared dumbfound at the CEO, simply trying to recap what had just been said. "Yes punk, you heard me right. I'm sorry for how I acted last night." Kaiba growled, crossing his arms. He looked off to the side, feeling somewhat awkward with Jou's bewildered yet adorable expression. "I was just frustrated about something that happened at the office. And I shouldn't have took my anger out on you."

"But-but...I thought you were mad about what happened with Mokuba?" Katsuya questioned in a nervous stutter. What about Kaiba apologizing was so damn attractive? How about everything? Jou had to admit he didn't even know Kaiba was ever man enough to be the one for apologies, but it looks like he did misjudge the brunet once again.

"Are you stupid? That is hardly something to get worked up about." Kaiba countered with his normally cool voice. "I knew it was bound to happen with how much time those two spend together. And having a brother like me around, isn't very well giving him a good reason not to." The CEO huffed distastefully after having looked over Jou's home for quite some time. With such thorough examination, Kaiba had already decided he didn't like being here or Katsuya living here for that matter. "So do you forgive me or not? It doesn’t really matter though because you are still my boyfriend," Kaiba pointed out nonchalantly.

"That wasn't a break up?" Jou asked with astonishment. If that wasn't a plea for space then he didn't know what was. Then again they never did say they were really over.

For the first time in a long while, Kaiba chuckle amusingly at Jou's question. "If I didn't still want you, I wouldn't be here trying to get you back, now would I?" He teased, his intimidating aroma not as strong as it had been when he first arrived. "The only question here is, do you want me back?" He asked with a knowing smirk. Kaiba knew he was the most desirable male in all of Domino City, so not even Jou would dare deny him.

But as if to prove Kaiba wrong, Jou glared at him skeptically. "I don't know. An ass like you isn't quite worth my time." Katsuya stated, sticking his nose up in the air. "After all the trouble you caused me, I'm not sure I want you back. You have a short temper, prissy attitude and you're so high maintenance." The teen listed off snoopily.

Kaiba didn't find Jou's little game of pretend to be entertaining at all. "Is that so? So you can't find even one reason to want me back?" The brunet smirked defiantly and forcefully pushed against Katsuya, connecting their lips the next second. Jou had naturally tried to step back from the suddenness of it all, but he found it impossible when Kaiba's arm was snaked around his waist.

A defiant mewl emitted from the pursed lips as Jou tried to push away. He didn't want to give so easily after what Kaiba had done, but this kiss wasn't helping him in the least. In fact, Jou could barely keep himself from not kissing back or taking the time to enjoy the pleasurable contact. As much as Jou hated to admit, Kaiba was the best kisser he had ever known, well the only person he had ever really kissed. So it was only natural he became submissive near the controlling male.

And just as Kaiba had wanted, Jou slowly fell into his arms, letting their lips linger against each other in a gentle kiss. Jou had nearly completely forgot his father was just in the other room and probably wanting to know who the house guest was. Luckily the dazed teen had managed to pull away from Kaiba when the brunet least expected him to. As if supporting that thought, Kaiba growled in disappointment.

"Stop being such a know it all ass." Katsuya pouted, crossing his arms again. So maybe he would miss Kaiba's kisses, though they had only shared a few in such a short relationship. "But seeing as how desperate you are to get me back...I think I can over look your short temper." He teased with a short smile. Kaiba seemed irritated with Jou's statement, though it was true he was somewhat desperate to have Jou back. Not that Kaiba would ever admit that out loud though.

"Good, now how about we get out of here?" Kaiba suggested. Though it was Jou's home, he didn't feel any more comfortable in this homely looking place. "Perhaps I can take you out on a real date?" Kaiba smirked, his brow quirking up in interest.

"Maybe later. I actually have to make it up to my friends. They probably are worried sick about me lately, so it's only fair I hang out with them today." The teen explained with a laid back smile. "Of course, you being my boyfriend and all, are welcome to come. I've been meaning to show you off to everyone. Especially Honda, that guy doesn't think I can make any good catches." Jou laughed so freely that Kaiba was curious if being with his friends usually made Jounouchi this happy.

"I guess I could come," he sighed. If luck was kind with him this time, maybe Otogi wouldn't be with the rest of Jou's friends. But if his so called 'boyfriend' was there, then most likely Otogi would be there too. Kaiba was startled from his thoughts when one ecstatic teen suddenly clung to his arm anxiously and dragged him out of the apartment. The CEO couldn't help but take pleasure in how happy Jou was about getting to show him off to his friends. In fact, Kaiba was looking forward to meeting the people who knew more about Jou than he himself did.

As much as Kaiba would have liked to meet Katsuya's friends, he was angrily going against the thought. It had barely been a second since Jou lead him to the front door of the theaters, which Kaiba thought was great since he wouldn't have to see Otogi if the jerk was really there. Sadly, it seemed the self righteous teen was there, and was happily conversing with a group of other teens at a table by the snack counter.

Kaiba only managed to glare resentfully at the black haired male that was so easily talking to a group of friends Kaiba had never known he had. His eyes narrowed furiously when he saw the teen burst into friendly later and slip his arm around the brunet beside him. How could Kaiba not be so hating when his boyfriend was cheating on him in broad day light. And as far he knew, the others would think it was him Otogi was cheating with.

Jou didn't seem to notice his boyfriend's dark aroma, he was just to excited to introduce the guys. He anxiously slipped his hand into Kaiba's, making the brunet snap out of his fit of rage and stare dumbfound at the palm in his, and pulled the CEO over to the table of friends. Jou's smile never dwindled in how vivid and bright it was as he finally stood before his best friends.

As expected, Yugi was the first one to notice the sandy blond heading over towards them. He shot up eagerly out of his seat and raced over to trap Jou in his loving embrace. "Jou! You decided to come after all, this is great!" He exclaimed, looking up to his friend with an affectionate smile. Kaiba personally didn't like this boy already by how familiar and comfortable he was being with his boyfriend. Then again, Kaiba had never really had any of his own friends so he wouldn't know this was a normal occurrence between them.

The reason of the teams attention averted to Katsuya and the surprisingly handsome stud beside him. Being that Anzu was the only girl among them, her attention wasn't quite as respectful when it can to ogling. Honda just stared peculiarly at the man, trying figure out why he was hanging out with his best friend. And why he hadn't found out about this earlier. Otogi on the other hand was grinning like Hyena, proud and strong. He only like the situation more because Kaiba had been kind enough to actually show him what he was working up against. Considering it was Katsuya, not much.

After a moment longer of Yugi's admirable praise for Jou's arrival, Jou was finally able to sneak a word in. "You guys I want you to meet Seto Kaiba, my boyfriend." He added the last part with the most genuine of smiles. But the blond had been the only one smiling. The others held a look more of bewilderment and an ounce of disgust from Anzu and Otogi.

"So you are the one Jou was talking about," Yugi suddenly broke the silence, grinning widely. "He's so good looking Jou, and Honda said you had no taste." The smaller boy teased, which seemed to make Jou all the more happy that at least his number one best friend accepted this. But that was only because he had mentioned it to him earlier.

"Well he is good looking, I'll admit that much," Honda said with a hidden jealousy. "But he is nothing compared to my man!" He exclaimed with a reckless smile as he hugged Otogi around the neck. "Isn't that right Ryuuji?!" He nuzzled his cheek lovingly into Otogi, ignoring the sick look on Kaiba's face as he watched.

Otogi had a dangerous glint in his eyes as he smirked to Kaiba. "Of course it is doll face." And as if to further annoy Kaiba, he slipped his arms around the other's waist, drawing the male closer to him. "But Jou you better watch out, I hear the tall quite type are always the creepy ones." He joked, only making everyone else laugh except Kaiba.

"Don't be so tense Seto. You got to loosen up around them, they are only joking." Katsuya insisted. He pulled out an empty seat, dragging it over to the table and forcing Kaiba to sit down in it. But just as the teen was going to get his own chair, Kaiba suddenly grabbed him by the waist and pulled him down into his lap. "Seto," Jou whined.

"Oh, now who's the one who needs to loosen up," Kaiba countered with a grim smirk. "I do believe if you are comfortable enough to tell your friends about me, then you should be comfortable enough to be around me as well." The CEO pointed out proudly. Of course he loved being able to touch Jou, but it was even better when he could make Otogi suffer at the same time.

"Aww Jou, why didn't you tell us you had a man?" Anzu asked in a pouted voice. She crossed her arms is disappointment. Now she was officially the only one in the group without a man. She didn't believe for a moment that Yugi wasn't seeing someone behind their back. Way to often the boy happened to come to school with a hidden hickey or he seemed to be more cheerful than usual, for even him. And the way Anzu sees him polishing the Egyptian puzzle with such care, its not hard to find out he has someone special on his mind.

"Because I knew you would bitch about it to me," Jou laughed freely when he saw the girl stick out her tongue. Kaiba felt his chest tighten at the sound of Katsuya's easy laughter. Though it was not the first time he had heard his beloved laugh, he was certain it hadn't been this cheerful and comfortable. "Plus I didn't want to make you feel bad about your man-less situation." The teen mocked with a deviant grin.

"Yeah Anzu, I feel really bad for you." Honda chuckled, squeezing Otogi around the nick again. "You have no one to cuddle at night."

"Or to take you out for just a little youthful fun." Otogi added in.

"Or to protect you and cheer you up," Katsuya mentioned with a vibrant smile. Not even Kaiba could help from at least showing a little blush from Jou's statement. It made him warm all over to know that Jou appreciated that about him.

"Or anyone to talk to you anytime and sometimes just about nothing." Yugi pointed out with a giggle. Of course his addition to the list had only earned him a suspicious glare from Anzu, which he quickly countered with a smile that made her calm down. Damn his lovable personally.

"And you certainly don't have someone to kiss and hug when you please." Honda finished, giving Otogi a chaste kiss on the lips to support his statement.

"Oh honey, you know we do a whole lot more than kiss." Otogi threw in with a wide smirk, watching for Kaiba's reaction in the counter of his eye as he kissed Honda more seriously. And just as Otogi suspected, Kaiba did look infuriated as he saw a decent amount of tongue slip past the barrier of lips. But he didn't let it show much, thankfully Jou was on top of him, keeping him form jumping up and straggling Otogi right now.

Jou watched with wide eyes as the two males exchanged an unbelievable amount tongue and saliva. Despite the fact he and Kaiba tended to do the same thing, it was never the same watching someone else do it. Yugi noticed Jou's pale expression and only giggled audibly. "Are you two ever like that? Are you skill respectful since you are a new couple?" Yugi asked with an amusing tone in his voice. If Yugi would have known about Jou's preferences earlier and if he hadn't been currently 'with' Yami, he would have certainly went to his best friend for a relationship. But it seems destiny had it planned out another way.

Everyone laughed when they saw how red Jou's face got after the question. "Well sorta..." He answered nervously. How could Otogi and Honda be so comfortable sharing their relationship with the world? Jou personally wasn't keen with the idea of everyone knowing, reason why he was only telling his best friends and not even his father. His old man would kill him if he knew he rolled that way.

Otogi smirked at Jou and then to Kaiba, giving the brunet a 'I know what you are up to' kind of look. As he thought, Kaiba wasn't getting very far with Jou. he knew his friend enough to know the blond was jumpy and nervous about such situations as intimacy. But he couldn't help feel sorry for Jou since he was only in this because Kaiba was trying to get back at him. It would be a shame to have Kaiba steal his virginity and ditch him like year old bread.

"Make sure to rub it in all our faces when you finally get him laid Kaiba," Otogi chuckled. Only a few short laughs are exchanged, since no one really knew if Otogi was being serious or just taunting the new couple. Kaiba on the other hand knew exactly what Otogi meant by it, and he was not in the least bit impressed with how casually Otogi was trying to turn him in.

"Of don't worry, I will." Kaiba said in a dangerously malicious voice. "But don't be surprised if I don't give you any tips or advice, being that I'm an expert." Kaiba smirked. "I'm sure Honda must be tired having amateurs screw him." The brunet mocked openly to Otogi. Yugi was the only one who managed to sense the anger and resentment between the two and he wasn't about to let it destroy the evening.

"Alright you guys, the movie will be starting in a few minutes. We better get our seats." Yugi suggested, sighing in relief when everyone stood and started to head over to their theater.

Everyone found their seats. Otogi of course sat beside Honda and the same when for Kaiba with Jou. Luckily, Yugi and Anzu had decided to sit in-between the two couples. Though they wouldn't be able to enjoy the movie much with the boys casually making out. Well Otogi and Honda were sure to do that, but Kaiba and Jou, they were not so sure.

Just as the movie previews were beginning, Jou leaned over and asked Kaiba to go get some snacks since they had been too late to eat with the rest of the gang. With a rude grunt, Kaiba got up and left to do as was asked of him. Otogi, seeing this, excused himself for the bathroom and hurriedly followed after the brunet.

He grinned devilishly when he found the CEO standing at the snack counter, ordering a bunch of crap for Jou. That blond was garbage disposal, Kaiba knew that much. Especially if Jou actually act his own cooking regularly. Sadly, Kaiba couldn't enjoy his amusing thoughts of Jou gagging on that toxic poison he called soup, when Otogi came over and leaned graciously against the counter beside him. Kaiba pretended not to notice the jerk, but it was hard when he was still so angry with him.

"You sure do have a lot of nerve using Jou like that. You know better than I the gullible ass will fall for anything." Otogi replied stoically with a smirk. He loved Kaiba's immediate reaction of stiffening. It showed at least he wasn't being ignored. And we all know how much Otogi loved the sound of his own voice.

Kaiba grabbed the snacks once they were ready and headed back for the theater. "Unlike you, I take my friendships and relationships seriously." Kaiba answered back coldly. He gave his signature mean glare when Otogi stepped in front of him, preventing him from getting back to the movie.

"Don't kid yourself Kaiba. We both know you have no real friends. And as far as this relationship, you are only doing it to get back at me." Otogi stated knowingly. He smirked more when the statement seemed to faze Kaiba greatly.

Jou, who had been waiting patiently for his snacks inside the theater, was growing more anxious and curious when Kaiba had yet to come back. He also noticed Otogi was missing. The sandy blond teen quickly got up from his seat and headed for the lobby. He hoped Kaiba hadn't order so much food that he couldn't even carry it to the theater. Though Jou was actually more concerned about Kaiba having to leave some of the food behind to bring the rest here. But this was Jounouchi, he always thought about his stomach.

He was baffled when he came out of the theater and spotted Kaiba talking with Otogi. The first moment he thought it was so cool that the two were trying to get along after what seemed to be a rough start. Jou really wanted them to get along since Otogi was his friend. But as he came closer he realized their conversation wasn't that of one you have with someone you just met.

"At first, I thought sure why not. Jou means nothing to me, why not use him to get back at you." Kaiba admitted harshly, his eyes narrowing at the raven haired teen. "But that is hardly the case now. More importantly, I think you are in no position to talk. Aren't you the one cheating on me?" Kaiba asked with sarcasm.

Otogi only laughed fully and prideful. "If you considered what we had to actually a relationship, than sure. But how I see it is, we were nothing more than friends with benefits. And to tell the truth, I always did hate being topped by you." Otogi confessed with a self righteous smile.

"You could have at least told me, you bastard! If I knew we were in an open relationship, I wouldn't be here wasting my fucking time with your so called friend." Kaiba hissed.

Hearing this, Jou stiffened. He shied away from greeting the two males and slipped away behind a stone column. He wasn't hearing this right! Seto and Ryuuji, together?! And did Kaiba really say he was trying to get back at Ryuuji for being with Honda? That very thought made Jou sick to his stomach. This wasn't happening, it couldn't be. Just this morning Kaiba was begging to get him back. But for what? To rub it in Ryuuji's face?

"Hell yes." Otogi snapped back. "As if I would actually waste my time being with only you. You are hardly worth it Kaiba. But as long as you are with Jou, I might as well congratulate you. Go ahead and screw my friends, it means nothing to me. It's about time Jou got laid anyway. Then he came leave me and Honda alone for awhile. The stupid ass always follows after us like some love sick puppy." Otogi snarled loudly.

The pain! Jou clapped his hand over his chest, clinched his shirt tightly in hand. Otogi fucking hated him?! Since when? He was suppose to be his friend, him and Honda. He only hung out with them because they both were his friends. Never once did they really tell him he was intruding, so he thought it was okay. It only made since that they hated him though...after how often they ditched him.

This continuous pain in his chest was killing him. Jou couldn't take much more of it. Wincing as a flood of memories of his so called friends and boyfriend, Jou forced the thoughts away. He painfully ran off, heading for the bathroom. He couldn't dare go back to the gang the way he was right now. With tears staining his eyes.

"My Kami Otogi! You have no loyalty for your men or your friends. I sucking glad I don't have to make time for your lazy ass anyway. Screw all your friends over for all I care. I don't think a sick bastard like you deserves a good friend like Katsuya." With that, Kaiba stormed off with the snacks in hand and headed back to his seat. The night couldn't get any more worse. Then again, when he returned to his seat he found out Jou wasn't not there.
