The Jou Wars

by Igatona

Counterstrike

----------

We join Honda and Jou as they were expecting a new Takeshi Kitano movie. Only to realize they had been had, and it was only a showing of an old Kitano movie called "Getting Any!?" which was basically the tribulations of one Japanese guy trying to get laid in his car. Honda did not want to see that movie, as it was mostly not romantic, and it would have undermined his plans to get into Jou's pants at the end of the night. Never-you-mind that he still wasn't sure that Jou was actually gay. Jou had never seen it before, and heard it was weird, but strangely good, so Jou booked the two tickets before Honda could actually do something about it. He tired to pay for the tickets, but Jou immediately said it was on him. Not wanting to risk angering his hopefully lover, he shat up.

However, a small silhouette was following him, and while only catching glimpses of it, he could not identify who it was, although his hunch told him it was someone he most likely didn't want to see tonight.

In the actual theatre, Honda offered to pay for the snacks, and then realized what mistake he made. Jou was very ravenous, especially when it came to snacks. So, Honda parted with his money as Jou was busy buying pretty much everything he saw. Honda wasn't that much of a snack-eater though, but he was pretty thirsty.

So, when Honda came back into the screening room where Jou had camped out seats, it was no surprise that Jou looked at Honda's drink, and had two reactions. First, he was surprised that Honda would choose that, as no one ever managed to finish it, even by drinking it through the film. Especially since it was theatre-caliber, which didn't mean a high quality. The second reaction was far more interesting though, he immediately thought of berating Honda about a touchy subject for guys.

"So, Honda, compensating for something with that?" he asked, but it was barely audible, as he was laughing all the way through.

Hiroto Honda is not a very proud man. At least, he does not go out of his way to promote himself. However, there are two things of his you do not make fun of. His preference for italian motorcycles (he only bought a Japanese-made one because it was cheaper and supportive of the local economy) and...his size. Not that he was actually lacking down there, but it annoyed him that everyone thought because he had a big bike, and usually took things twice as large as others, it immediately meant he had a small appendage. He threw people through the school windows for less than that. However, he couldn't just DO that for Jounouchi, he was his best friend, and...he loved the bloke.

Jou was not taken aback at the glacial stare he got, as he pretty much deserved it. However, what DID surprise him was what Honda said.

"Do you want me to prove you wrong?"

It scared him. Did his best friend hit on him? Was the sacred bond of friendship, one that takes so hard to build up, been broken by one of them wanting to push it beyond simply friends and more towards love...and lust?

Jou thought about it, he thought about it very hard, so much people could see the smoke coming out of his ears, and the only concluding thought he could ever make about this was resumed in this simple sentence.

"Nah, couldn't be."

They went on to watch the movie.

* * *

Over the course of the movie, Katsuya Jounouchi was laughed out many times, under the satisfaction of Honda (who thought of his operation successful), and under the dissatisfaction of a certain someone, who had been shadowing Honda as of a few hours ago. That certain someone burned a hole through Honda's head with his eyes, and wished he had laser vision at that same moment. He quickly made it out of the room when the movie was over, as to not get spotted by either of the two, which would have jeopardized his covert ops mission.

After looking at the credits to see who made what, both of them went out and Jou kept on talking about the funnier stuff in the movie, like the main character that got shot by the policeman, and the ever-returning dying Yakuza member as Honda smiled and nodded. He had already seen the movie, so he knew what to expect. What he didn't expect at the moment was the huge sign his bladder was toting at his brain, said sign saying : "Dude, I'm gonna blow!"

So he rushed off to the bathrooms, took up an urinal and let go.

Jou followed suit, in the urinal next to him, and Honda breached another rule of masculinity in the night.

He glanced at Jou's member.

He was fortunate that Jou did not notice, as Jou would have grounds to kick his ass right then and there. However, there still was a problem with that short person who had been shadowing them. He couldn't quite pick out whom it was, but he had seen such shortness before...he just didn't know where! However, he did think it ugly for that person to have flat hai...

Wait a second.

Honda conjured up an image of Yugi, and superposed it up against the short person. A perfect match. Jou never really noticed, and went out, however, as the bathroom was emptying, two guys never actually walked out.

Honda, and Yugi.

* * *

Yugi looked at Honda, and realized that he had recognized him even with his clever disguise. As he saw Honda walking towards him, he feared the worst, he feared that Honda would take him, toss him around like absolutely nothing, and proceed to gut him like a fish.

But Honda did no such thing.

Instead, Honda looked at Yugi, and simply started to yell.

"What the FUCK are you doing shadowing me around!?"

"The same thing YOU did when you arrived at my grandpa's shop! I'm ruining your chances with Jou!"

"Well, you're making a poor thing of it because I've pretty much got him in the bag!"

"No you don't! Jou is mine!"

And they kept bickering like this for a long time. Outside, Jou was wondering what was keeping Honda so long. It couldn't be anything important, right? Nonchalently, Jou opened the door, and looked at his two best friends yelling at each other, and listened in on their little spat.

"Whore!"

"Slut!"

"You only want him because of his body!"

Jou was surprised, he didn't know Yugi was gay.

"And YOU only want him because of his schlong!"

...and Honda was, too!? There was something wrong with this picture, and he felt the gut instinct to not listen in on further, but there was something he needed to know first. Who were they talking about?

"Face it, Honda, I care more about him than you ever will. Jou is mine, Honda!"

The both of them didn't have the time to turn their heads before hearing a door slam, and someone running away. They could only guess it was the love of their life, Jounouchi.

"You made him run away, Yugi!"

"No, you did!"

And thus they continued on, however, let us follow Jounouchi.

* * *

After running for a few hundred meters, Jou had finally found a pay phone that was far enough from these two freaks to actually call someone. Who could he tell about this? Ryou? Nah, he probably knew anyway. Otogi? The last thing he needed was for the self-proclaimed dice master to make fun of him saying he should go for either of them. Shizuka? No, he couldn't simply just CALL Shizuka to explain that his two best friends fell in love with him. That's just not right, asking your sister to do this. So, he conjured up the only person he could remember that could actually listen to him and not panic.

He dialed Mai Kujaku's number.

"Hmm? Hello?" she answered, a bit sleepily.

"Mai! It's Jounouchi! Thank god you're there listen I've got to..."

"Jou...? Is that you? What happened hon?"

"Well it all started when Yugi invited me to the card shop and Honda came and we played duel monsters until it was dinner time and we ate dinner and Honda invited me to a movie but I didn't think much of it and then I..."

"Katsuya! Fucking breahe already! And get to the point, I've got some sleep to catch!"

That'S when Jounouchi, lovable goof and a staple for most self-esteem problems, broke the boiling point.

"MY TWO BEST FRIENDS ARE GAY!!!!!"

On the other side of the phone, Mai winced. She took the phone, and spoke frankly to Jounouchi.

"And what do you care?"

"Because they're both in love with me!"

Mai blinked, and laughed at Jou.

"You're kidding me, right!?"

"I shit you not, Mai, I'm seriously distressed here!"

She stopped laughing, and seriously said she would be on her way, he hoped it wouldn't take long.

* * *

Meanwhile, Yugi and Honda had been staring at each other the entire time they went out of the theatre, each of them hoping to make the other give up the staring and ultimately give up the ultimate prize - Katsuya Jounouchi. They had stopped insulting each other when Honda actually used : "son of a submariner" as an insult, which is about the time when they realized they had pretty muched used every insult in the dictionary, twice, without resorting to "Yo Mama".

They eventually sat down, and stopped glaring at each other. They were waiting. For what? Jou. Or something else. There was no way Jou was escaping tonight without choosing either one of them.

Jou thought it better to wait for Mai at the theatre, as she wouldn't know where he had called from, and he saw the two dumbasses in front of the theatre, sitting on the sidewalk, visibly not talking to each other. He wanted to slap each and every one of them silly, but he didn't know if they were going to like that, so he prefered not to. When Jou made his presence known, the both of them sprang up and simply declared the following.

"Jou! You've got to choose!"

Jou was taken aback by this sudden brashness over something they'd never tell him, ever. Or at least, before a couple of months.

"Jou, we've been through thick and thin before, pick me, you know I've got what you like." declared Honda

"No Jou, pick me, I care more about you and I honestly do want you." countered Yugi.

And this circus continued on until Jou could not take it anymore.

"STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!!!!"

Both of them stopped.

"Haven't you thought of something before trying to secude me, you dickwads!? I'M NOT GAY! I'm not interested in either of you. In fact, after what you guys did tonight, the last person I actually want to see is you two. I don't know about anything, but the only person I've ever wanted, sexually or not, is Mai!"

Mai overheard this, and smirked.

"And you kept this from me because?" she said to Jou, who was a bit blushing at the moment.

"Well, Mai, I've been meaning to tell you...hehehe."

Mai laughed.

"Well, big boy, I guess we've got some time to make up, right hon?"

Jou nodded and left with Mai, not before turning around, taunting the two left behind.

* * *

What else was there to do but talk? They both had lost what they wanted, and now, their life didn't really have a meaning, much like their hatred. They knew Jou not being gay was none of their fault. So, instead of going back home after this little fiasco, they thought it better to talk.

"So, Honda..."

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for shadowing you around..."

"And I'm sorry for threatening you and ruining your dueling date with Jou, not like we're ever going to have any now..."

"Yeah..."

They paused, lack of anything to say oblige.

"Honda?"

"Yeah?"

"You know, when Mai said 'Big boy', I thought of Jou, naked, and..."

Honda laughed.

"Big boy is right, y'know."

Yugi was surprised that Honda knew such a thing.

"Did you two ever...!?"

Honda interrupted him.

"No, I only know because I glanced at him when we were in the bathroom tonight."

Yugi sighed.

"Not like I'll ever know now anyway."

Honda sighed. It'd be tough going back home alone tonight. No one on the bike to grab at his waist in a hugging manner, no one to snuggle with, and he had made sure he'd unpacked the couch-bed for tonight so that they could sleep together.

Yugi thought the same, there would be something missing about tonight, and he knew exactly what that something was. He wanted love...and Honda wanted the same thing.

"Honda, since I was such a jerk tonight, let's go out to dinner, my treat."

With such a cute, innocent little smile, and genuine feelings of apology, how could Honda refuse? But he couldn't let him do all the work.

"Only if I can give you a lift back home afterwards."

"Okay."

Both of them smiled before heading towards the nearest fast food joint they could find...

...and before heading in that joint, Honda looked at Yugi and asked :

"So, is this a date, or not?"

Yugi simply smiled and held his hand. The both of them knew they weren't going to be alone...

...for tonight, at least.

This is the end...
Beautiful friend...
This is the end...
My only friend, the end...

And so on, and so forth. I can't be assed to type it up completely, and you get the point anyway. I had a blast writing The Jou Wars, and I'm hoping that ending, although rather clichéed, satisfied you. Know that I'm working on a lemon involving Yugi/Honda that happens right after this fic, so be on the lookout for that on adultfanfiction.net

Please, please, and I do mean please leave a review. I admit the ending was a bit abrupt, but I didn't want to drag this on for years on end, and all good, or bad, things have an end.

In any case, leave a review if possible, it's greatly appreciated.
