Chapter Four:

The feeling of nervous excitement clouding over everything in the dingy living room. Scantily clad boys of different color moved idly around the small room, waiting for the rest to join them. No one looked up as Ryou walked carefully into the room and slowly set himself down on the arm of a chair. He didn't dare go all the way into the chair, he feared the pants would rip and he would be left exposed. But in the back of his mind, a little voice whispered:

"Maybe that wouldn't be so bad, you wouldn't have to get all the way undressed now would you?"

Ryou wished he could glare at the voice, but it being a voice inside his head he simply scowled. Ryou's eyes trailed slowly back and forth through the room, letting the excited energy fill him, making his troubled feelings slowly dissipate. An easy, slightly dangerous grin slid onto his lips. Adair was right, all he needed to do was find the joy in this night and he would make it through. `Speaking of Adair…' Ryou looked up into the stairway as Adair came bouncing down the stairs. The green eyed blond grinned at Ryou, spinning in a slow circle to show off his outfit. Ryou's grin widened as he let out a low whistle. Adair looked good. He looked more than good, he was… smokin'. Adair's lean form was clad in semi-Goth attire, with his long-sleeved fishnet shirt and his extra-wide black raver pants. Dark make-up made his green eyes light up like an ethereal fire, and even in the dim light of the room the chains that draped over his waist and the studs in his many bracelets glittered in the room. Adair flashed him a predatory smile, his white teeth glinting; only to then stick out his tongue playfully, showing his red-metal, vibrating tongue stud.

Adair gracelessly dropped himself into the chair that Ryou was perched on, giving the other boy's knee a sweet squeeze. "You ready for this?" Adair asked, playful in manner but Ryou knew he was concerned for his friend's emotional well-being. Ryou let a lopsided grin slide back onto his face, "I'm good `nd groovy, Adair. You worry too much!" Adair shook his head and mumbled something that sounded like, "I never worried enough." But Ryou just ignored the other boy's mumblings. Now he was ready to party. Ryou leaned back onto the chair and absently began to play with Adair's dreads. Adair leaned into Ryou's hand every time it brushed his scalp. "Alright boys!" Keith came thundering into the room, Ryou hastily jerked his hands from Adair hair, causing the other boy to let out a wail when Ryou almost took a lock with him.

"Now my pretties, the hour is upon us. I know you will make me proud, so get the fuck out of my house and make some money!" Keith grinned happily while he shoved the boys out the door. Ryou and Adair were the last to reach the door, before Ryou could go through Keith grabbed his arm. Adair shot Ryou a worried look but Ryou just waved him along. He'd catch up later. "What do you need Keith?"

"I don't need to tell you how important this is." Keith said as he let Ryou's arm drop. "I you fail, you're mine again." Keith slowly backed Ryou against the wall, letting his pungent breath to blow along Ryou's face. It took all Ryou's strength to not vomit all over the older man. Ryou straightened himself and pushed Keith away, "I understand." Ryou gave a cheeky smile and yelled; "Don't wait up!" before running from the house to catch up with Adair.

`Plain rides are so dull." Seto Kaiba thought to himself looking out the window of his jet. This weekend would be his annual Business Convention, and he wasn't nearly excited as he ever was. Not that he was ever excited about anything. This was just another opportunity for the people of the other companies he owned to kiss his ass and hope to gain special favor with him. He wondered when they would ever learn that, with him, special favor was as likely as a snowball in hell. `But then again,' he mused with a smile, `people are idiots. They are like common sheep, brainless and panicky.' Seto sighed once more, leaning his head against the jet windowpane. He didn't even get to bring his brother along this time. Mokuba hadn't wanted to miss any school just to come out for this one meeting. "Whatever." He mumbled to himself. He was almost always alone anyhow.

From a boring plane ride, Seto landed into an equally boring board meeting that seemed to last for hours. Seto had zoned out more than once and he could tell that the other members of the board were growing impatient with his lack of attention. That's the only real reason he was here, so they could find financers, business partners, or someone on the highest level to get their ideas heard. Like always, he was here as a title, not a person. `Oh well,' he thought `I guess it's time to deflate their heads a bit.' Seto stood from his chair at the head of the never-ending table. "I've had enough of this."

The older men at the table, as well as the speaker froze, and turned slowly to face Seto. The speaker cleared his throat, "M-Mr. Kaiba, the uh presentation is almost over. If you'll just give me a few more moments I-" "I don't think what ever your little ending is will save your presentation. You've droned on long enough." Seto said, crossing his arms. "But Mr. Kaiba!" The speaker desperately tried to save his plans. "Don't make me repeat myself." Seto said menacingly. The speaker hung his head the presentation was over.

"Mr. Kaiba, have you ever been to this lovely city before?" Jones asked as he followed Seto from the boardroom. "No, this is the first time I've been in this country, let alone this town." Jones wicked smile went unnoticed as Seto continued to storm back to his hotel room. He just wanted to sleep and get through this weekend as quickly as possible. "Well, I've been here a number of times, I could arrange for guided tour of the city, and all it's fabulous attractions if you'd like. The guides in this city are famous; I do believe you'll enjoy yourself." "What ever, send a quid to my room in a few hours." Seto grumbled, then stormed off to his room.

Throwing his trench coat over the queen-sized bed, Seto systematically stripped off his clothes and walked nude into the deluxe bathroom in the suite. He reached into bath and twisted the faucet until the water hit a mildly blistering temperature. Seto glanced over his shoulder and caught his reflection in the mirror. "Eep!" Seto did a little twitch-like dance and jumped quickly into the tub, forgetting to turn on the fan. `Seeing myself naked is always so disturbing. Stupid bag of bones!' He rapped his knuckles against his chest reprimanding. "Maybe I should start eating more?" Seto mused to himself. He let out a harsh laugh, like he had time to eat. Seto let his head fall back, allowing the scalding water to take him into another world.

* Dream World *

Warm hands trailed the bar of soap down Seto's chest. A gentle `hum' emitted low in Seto's throat as the hands worked a soapy lather over goose-pimpled flesh. "You're quiet good at that," Seto mumbled and he leaned back against his companion. "I'm good at many things, you should know that by now…" came the husky reply. Seto grinned, "Don't I know it." They shared mutual giggles before falling into comfortable silence. But Seto's good mood quickly dropped when he was struck by a realization. "You're going to leave aren't you?" A dejected sigh echoed across the bathroom from behind Seto. "I have to, you know that. I can't just stay with you. I told you I had to stay till dawn, and then I would have to go back…" Seto turned his head to nuzzled under the others neck, "You could stay with me, you don't have to go back… to that… I'll take care of you!" This time the sign that was emitted was irritated. Seto watched as the other evacuated the bath and reached for a towel. "You say that now, Seto. But eventually, you'll get sick of me and then what? Don't you remember? I told you, I've heard this speech before, and look where I ended up! I can't go through that again, and I wont put myself in that situation. I WONT!" Seto raced to catch up with his other who was speed walking into the sleeping quarter of the suite. "Please, please don't leave like this! I can't stand you to leave upset. Look there is still…" Seto glanced at his watch. "There's still three hours till dawn, let's go to sleep and then… then you can leave when the sun comes up." The others hand stilled in the process of dressing. A barely audible "Ok" was the reply. Seto grinned and walked over to re-undress the other and slowly pushed both of them into the bed. Seto pulled himself up behind the other and curled himself tightly against the other. The two drifted off to sleep, but only one would wake alone.

* End Dream World *

Seto woke with a start, alone and partially submerged in the now room-temperature bath. He shook his head to ride himself of the odd dream. He glanced at the clock, and choked back an obscenity. He'd been sleeping in the bath for over 3 hours! That guide would be here soon! Seto stood and turned on the shower to ride his body and hair of dried soap, then stepped out onto the cold tile floor and hopped from foot to foot as he searched for a towel. He smacked his fist into the wall next to him when he realized it was still on his bed. "OH BLOODY HELL!" He ran quickly, carefully keeping his gaze away from the mirror, into the bedchamber and was wrapping the towel around his waist when there was a knock on the door. Without even thinking Seto strode over and swung open to door to reveal a very scantily clad young boy.

"Well, I must say I like a man who's ready to get right to business!"

Well this was the longest chapter I've ever written. Five pages, About 2,200 words… I was very proud of myself. So hopefully my longish chapter was enough to appease you guys, and kinda thank you for waiting so long. Anyway, I don't know when my next update will be. I'm really gonna try for a bimonthly update, but because of school and trying to see my brother and my boyfriend, and the play and all that crap I don't know if the bimonthly thing is gonna work. But I have hope for myself! And you should TOO! ::pouty face:: Anyways… review if you want, or not. What eve you like, it's all groovy to me!
