Chapter Thirteen - Pride, Pain, and Pleasure
Kaiba hung up his office phone for the fifth time that hour, furious that he could not find which hotel Jou was staying at. He had searched every hotel and motel in the area, but nothing came up. Maybe Jounouchi hadn't used his name when he had made his reservation. Blue eyes narrowed as this new realization dawned on him. Someone else had to have come to America with the blonde. In his state, Jou could not have made the long trip alone, especially going through airport security. Now the hard part was figuring out who. It would be either Honda, Yugi, or that annoying, brunette girl, Anzu.
"It had to have been Yugi…no, it was Yami!" Kaiba remembered that the spirit had more of a connection between he and Jou than anyone else did. Most did not know what had really happened, or just how intimate the once rivals had become. But the pharaoh knew everything - which was entirely too much in Seto's opinion. And, as soon as Kaiba realized how his long time infatuation had run to Yami for help, a pang of jealousy ripped through his gut. He had to get Jounouchi back as soon as possible. "I have waited long enough."
Yami, the once great Pharaoh of Egypt, had been sitting for nearly an hour as his best friend had dryly sobbed about the events that had transpired with his old love. He felt sorry for the blonde, and at the same time, he wanted to go to Kaiba's penthouse and knock the shit out of him.
Yami looked at Jou, and tried to reason that Seto hadn't said those things to be mean. He had said them for his own reasons, which he had thought were right. Jou shook his head, not believing a word the spirit said.
"You weren't there; you didn't hear them come from his mouth. And ya didn't see her, either. She was beautiful."
"Snap out of it, Jou!" Yami shook the other by his shoulders lightly. "If you give up now and go back to Domino, that's it; you'll have failed and Kaiba will marry that woman. Is that what you want?" Yami's eyebrows dropped as he saw a tear form beneath Jou's closed eyes.
"No, but that's what Seto wants."
A knock on the door interrupted them. Jou sighed, rolling his chair away from Yami and over to the window with his back to the door. The spirit scoffed at the blonde's attitude, hurrying to answer the door for whoever was knocking.
"Hello?" Yami said as he opened the door to reveal Seto Kaiba standing at the entrance.
"Yami," Kaiba seethed, his jealousy springing back with full force. The rivals just looked at one another, and Yami decided not to let Katsuya know of their new visitor until he had spoken with Kaiba personally.
Slowly, Yami closed the door behind him and gazed intensely at the brunette. "Why are you here, Kaiba?"
Seto crossed his long arms, scoffing at the spirit. "I need to speak to Jou."
"You seriously hurt him, and I don't think this is a good time to ask him for forgiveness." Nevertheless, Yami stepped aside as Kaiba walked into the room, closing the door behind him. He approached slowly, not wanting to startle the blonde while he was in such a vulnerable state. From around the corner, he could see Jou staring out the window.
"Who was it, Yami?" Jounouchi asked, oblivious to the actual man standing right behind him.
Seto shuddered, unsure of how to tell Jou that it was actually him, and not the spirit, without getting the blonde even more upset than before. He did not want to deceive his love anymore, even for something so small. So gently, Kaiba leaned over the wheelchair, placing his long arms on top of Jou's shoulders as he enveloped his body in a firm hug. "I'm sorry," Blue eyes admitted, hoping the blonde would accept his apology. He could feel the body beneath him stiffen and then hold still. This had to work; if it didn't…they would be over for good. "Katsuya?" Kaiba tried again.
"Get offa me, Moneybags." Jou lowered his head, turning it away from the CEO.
"Jou, don't make the same mistake I did. I want to make it up to you; please let me do that." Kaiba suddenly felt Jounouchi's shoulders shiver under his touch.
"You wanna make it up ta me? So you think buyin' me things will make up for the humiliation and pain you caused?"
Kaiba grunted as he stood up. "No, I said nothing like that."
"Well, then...I don't think there would be anything else you could do ta 'make it up to me'." Jou spat vividly.
Kaiba stepped back as his anger rose ten-fold. How could this low-class mutt refuse him? He was one of the most powerful CEO's in the world; no one could do that - not to Seto Kaiba. "If you truly think I have nothing more to offer you than money, I see my coming here WAS a mistake!" Blue eyes looked one last time at Jounouchi, and then he walked to the door. "Oh, and just so you know, Bakura has been dealt with," Kaiba scoffed, "Like you care." With that, the CEO shut the door with his pride still intact. But with that pride came a pain that he felt deep within his chest.
"You are an idiot," Yami mocked, blocking Kaiba's way to the elevator.
"What do you know? I-" Yami interrupted the raging CEO, handing Kaiba a small piece of paper. Blue eyes opened wide as they realized the spirit's intention. "This is…"
"Your last chance, Kaiba."
Jounouchi was not in the best of moods. The airport had been crowded with tourists who wanted to visit the Big Apple. And ironically, Yami had decided to leave him alone so he could use the restroom while Jou could 'sit' in line. 'This is just perfect; we are about to board, and Yami is still taking a shit!' he thought sourly. Just then, two flight attendants came to the blonde's side, asking him to follow. "Damn!" Jounouchi had little choice but to board the plane since he was receiving special help for his condition.
After ten minutes, Jou and his wheelchair were finally situated, which allowed the rest of the passengers to board. But there was still no sign of Yami anywhere. 'He'll make it,' Jounouchi kept telling himself. After his ordeal with Kaiba yesterday, the blonde didn't want to be alone on the flight back to Japan; the CEO was supposed to have been with him. 'But I ruined all that, and it serves him right.'
Katsuya's mood turned lifted slightly once he realized that the stewardess was giving out free bags of pretzels and pop. Quickly grabbing his share, Jou began devouring the contents so fast; he was almost to the point of choking on the dry pretzels. If it hadn't been for the cool liquid, he would have surely been a goner. "Ahhhhh, that was good!"
"Glad you liked it," Kaiba's deep voice echoed from beside Jounouchi.
"Seto!" The blonde cursed himself for using the CEO's first name. "I mean, Kaiba."
The brunette sat himself in the seat next to Jounouchi's wheelchair. "No, it's fine."
"That's for Yami; you can't be here!" Jou protested, realizing that his friend should be flying back to Domino with him. "What did you do to Yami!"
Kaiba narrowed his eyes, upset by the fact that Jounouchi was still very hostile towards him.
People around them were staring at the pair, but at this point, Seto did not care. They could ogle all they wanted; that wouldn't change Kaiba's plans. Soon after, the pilot announced the flight and destination, and thanked them for flying with the airline company. The stewardesses showed everyone how to buckle their seat belts, put their trays up, and outlined the procedure for wearing the oxygen masks, should the cabin's pressure suddenly decline. "I did nothing to Yami," Kaiba said, fastening his seatbelt into place. Luckily, the blonde had already been taken care of.
Jou simply stayed silent, not wanting to argue with Kaiba. The plane suddenly roared to life, jolting both teens out of their daze. Blue eyes looked to the side to see a very sad puppy eyeing the scenery through the small window. "Yami gave me the plane ticket. He said he would stay to help Adriana."
"What?" Jou was baffled, his surprise slowly turning to frustration. "I thought I could trust him…I guess not."
"It was my idea," Kaiba lied. "Don't blame this on him. That is why I am here - so you can blame me." Jou scoffed at the CEO. "And then, forgive me."
"I don't havta listen to this." The blonde turned his head away from Seto, looking down at the empty bag of pretzels sitting on his lap.
"I don't think you have much of a choice, considering where we are," Kaiba stated. "Please, Jou." The brunette leaned over, whispering into his love's ear, "Don't make me beg."
The tender words were so quiet, Jounouchi was about to ask Seto to repeat them. The airplane seemed eerily silent - the only sounds were those of the stewardesses walking up and down the aisles. Jou's seat, located right behind first class, was actually very secluded. The only people who could even see him were sitting to his left, on the other side of the plane. But of course, Kaiba was blocking their view, since Jou had a window seat.
He didn't know what to say, or even if he should forgive Seto. 'He never even told me that he loved me, even though I know that he di-does. I just want ta forget everything that has happened. But, what if history repeats itself? People who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it in the future,' the blonde said to himself, remembering the adage from numerous history lectures. Jou sighed, once again repeating those words, and he turned to look Kaiba directly in the eye. "How do I know you won't do this to me again?"
"I know I screwed up, and I also know that I will make mistakes. But Jounouchi, I am a smart businessman. Do you really think I would make the same mistake twice?"
Jou's eyes widened as Kaiba's words rang true. Seto saw the blonde's realization, and he smiled. A long arm was draped over Jou's shoulders, drawing his body to a much larger and harder chest. "I am so glad you understand." Kaiba's chin laid atop the blonde mop of hair as the two rested for the remainder of the flight.
"Me too."
It has been four weeks - a month to the day since that one encounter which changed everything. I may not have become a member of the Mile High Club, but I got something much more special than that. Cliché as it sounds, I gained a life partner.
Seto was right; he has learned from his mistakes. He's been by my side for every physical therapy session. Now, I can walk. But I have ta go slow, and can only manage to stand for a minute or two before my legs get weak. But, Set is always there ta grab me if I fall - very sweet for a guy who is not supposed to have a heart. Actually, he is a bit overprotective now. Whenever I try to walk, he just watches me like a mother hen or yells at me wheneva he thinks I am overexerting myself. Seto was so worried that he actually made me move in with him. My father didn't mind, knowing I would be in better hands than what he could afford.
For four weeks, Set and I haven't had sex. We both are just concentrating on my legs, getting the muscles strong again. But, that isn't to say we haven't had our share of fun. I only regret my condition because I cannot pleasure my lover as he does me almost every night. It's starting to create a tear in our relationship. But that will be repaired as soon as I can walk – or at least kneel.
For the past two weeks, I have slept in Seto's large bed. He was worried about my condition at night, so much that he couldn't fall asleep. And there was always that little fear in the back of our minds that the dream might return. Bakura was supposedly 'taken care of'. But I don't know the extent of that. Maybe I should ask Seto one day?
We have a ritual every night, too. Set carries me inta bed, and every time, he carefully takes off my pants. Then, I work to spread my legs, but usually he does it for me. It's rather embarrassin' because I could do this myself - but Seto insists that he massage my legs so he knows that a thorough job is bein' done. By now, I am getting sick of the vanilla scented lotion; soon it'll be time for a change. It does help to ease the muscle tension and flow of blood, though. But sometimes the blood gets flowin' a bit too much, leading to our sexual frustration. Seto says it doesn't bother him, but I know otherwise. I can hear him at night when he dreams. Sometimes, I worry that it is the erotic nightmare – but when Seto wakes up and walks to the bathroom, I know it was just me.
Things are gonna change. I have been testin' my endurance while Set is at work. Mokuba helps when he can, but there is only so much the little guy can do. I have had a few scary moments, 'specially the time I thought walking up the stairs would be good exercise. I fell pretty hard, but luckily my arms had gained enough strength ta stop my fall. I was just thankful that Mokuba came home before Set did that day.
But tonight…tonight will be different from the rest. Seto will not just rub my legs, kiss me, and go to bed sexually frustrated. Damn it, I will please my man – that I promise!
The day grew weary as the sun set over the horizon, signaling to Seto Kaiba that more than a full day's worth of work had been put in. He had come in extra early so he could get off at a decent time. He would come home at six, just like every other man would. Kaiba liked the normality, excluding the whole 'coming home to your mansion and waiting boyfriend' part.
Not soon after, Kaiba was walking into the foyer of his home, looking around for any signs of life. "Mokuba? Jou?" he called.
"Mokuba's not here," echoed a sultry, deep voice from the top of the stairs. Kaiba looked up to find Jounouchi leaning over the balcony as if his legs weren't bothering him at all.
"Jou!" Kaiba rushed up the stairs, fearful for his handicapped lover. The blonde chuckled as the CEO reached the top of the stairs. He then turned to run and jump into Seto's arms. Kaiba was taken by surprise at this, causing both teens to tumble to the ground with Jounouchi's whole body on top of the brunette.
"Surprise!" he teased, rubbing his hardening crotch against the other.
Kaiba groaned, becoming furious and horny all at once. This, for Jou, was not a good combination. "What the hell were you thinking? You could have fallen, broken a bone! Then what? All of that therapy and training for nothing?" He wanted to push Jou off of him, but as soon as Seto saw the hurt look in the blonde's face, he didn't have the heart to do so.
Unknown to Kaiba, Jou had expected this kind of reaction. For a month, the brunette had been watching over him like a mother would. It wasn't surprising to him at all that the CEO would be a little hesitant to trust Jou's muscles just yet. So, to play off of this expected corollary, his brown eyes softened, melting that ice cold heart known as Seto Kaiba.
"Jou…" The blonde looked down so Kaiba could only see the top of his head. But soon, Jou's intentions became all too clear as he continued his thrustings against the confining pants of the brunette. Instantly, Kaiba became aroused, blood flowing straight to his burgeoning erection. "Oh shit," he breathed heavily. In response, Jou simply looked up at him with a smirk on his lips and a gleam in his eye.
"There we go. I was wonderin' if ya had turned asexual on me."
Kaiba laughed, "Never." Taking his hands, the brunette rubbed up and down the blonde's sides, eventually traveling to his lower back. "Are you sure you are all right?"
"Watch me work, Set. I'm gonna rock your world tonight."
Blue eyes narrowed as a lusty growl echoed from deep within Kaiba's throat. "What about Mokuba?"
"Taken care of - it's the weekend. Do ya think he would really stay home, anyway?"
Kaiba chuckled, gently rolling Jou to the side and standing. "Come," the CEO requested, holding his hand out for the blonde to grab. As soon as Katsuya was standing, Seto swiftly lifted him from the ground to take him into their very empty, and very spacious, bed.
"Ya know, I can walk."
"Yes, but knowing you, it will take forever. And right now, I am not a very patient man," Kaiba said, plopping the skinny teen onto his bed. Instantly, the CEO worked off his tie, pulling at the knot to loosen the material until his was off his neck and on the floor. Next went the jacket, easily tossed to the other side of the room. Jou watched, amazed by his lover's precision. The blonde knew if it was him, he would be fumbling at every attempt, getting more and more frustrated as time went on. Of course, Kaiba knew this, too.
"Seto, you're makin' me drool here."
Kaiba smiled, thinking of Jou's lack of forethought, as he had left himself wide open for a canine comment. But, he was not going to risk anything tonight. Now, Kaiba worked on the very top button of his shirt, then the next one down, until half of his smooth, hard chest was revealed. As the last button was undone, Seto simply let the white material slide from his shoulders and to the floor. This slow strip tease was enough to drive Jounouchi mad. First, Kaiba had said he was impatient about having sex. Now he was taking his time undressing?
"I thought you were in a hurry?"
"When it comes to teasing you, never," Blue eyes admitted, his hands traveling past his stomach to the black, leather belt. With a vice-like grip, the taller man pulled out the strap from the buckle, unbuttoning his pants, and then lowering the zipper. Jou could see Kaiba's hard length protruding from over the pants that were set low on his hips. It was unfortunate that the black underwear shielded his view of such a wondrous object. "What do you want me to take off next?"
Jou swallowed hard, sitting up on the bed with his legs dangling over the edge. "Pants, definitely."
Chuckling, Seto bent down, untying each shoe bit by bit, and then slowly taking them off. Socks followed soon after. As the blonde began to protest, Kaiba pulled Jou's t-shirt off, and then pushed him back into a laying position. With that, the brunette quickly pulled down the draw-string pants, leaving Katsuya completely naked and vulnerable. "No underwear?"
"Eh, who needs 'em when yer just gonna take them off, anyway?"
"Point taken," Kaiba answered as he examined every inch of Jounouchi's body. His favorite part was Jou's toned stomach and lithe hips. It was something the brunette had always found erotic - a body part not exposed by men, even with their shirts off. 'He is so handsome…gorgeous,' Seto thought, leaning down to lick at his lover's belly button. 'And yummy.'
Jou moaned in response, arching his hips up as his protruding cock poked at Kaiba's chest. The CEO got up, resting himself on all fours above Jounouchi, who still had his legs dangling over the bed's edge. They both paused as Jou released the breath he didn't know he had been holding. Suddenly, looking down out of curiosity, the blonde witnessed one of the most erotic things he had ever seen. Kaiba, hard from the strip tease and foreplay, was stroking his length, which now hung outside of his pants and in plain sight. The pink tip contrasted with the deep, navy color of his pants, creating a sensual euphoria in him as Jou came to recognize the small beads of white dripping from the hard cock. Seto's hand seemed to move so slow and tortuously, Katsuya didn't think he could last much longer, even by just watching!
"Like what you see?" Kaiba asked, tilting his head to him with an adoring look on his face.
The other nodded enthusiastically. "Yes…this is wonderful, too good ta be true. It's like it's our first time all over again, ya know?" The CEO nodded, leaning down for a leisurely, soft kiss.
"Whoa!" Once more, Jounouchi felt himself being lifted and placed in the middle of the large bed, and then he felt the weight of his lover above him. A snapping sound alerted Jou to Kaiba's sudden nudity, and to the shiny wetness of his fingers. "What's that?"
"Lube; you should be quite familiar with it by now." Katsuya blushed at the remark. "Now, spread your legs." Jounouchi did so, looking away from those deep, blue eyes. It didn't matter if they did this fifty times, Jou was still nervous at such an intimate act. "Wider…" Kaiba instructed, prying the limbs further apart.
Now, fully exposed, the blonde laid still and quiet as he tried not to tense up at the intrusion of his lover. "Ouch…" Instantly Jou regretted letting that word slip from his lips - albeit, Seto knew exactly how to remedy his pain.
Katsuya suddenly felt the most wonderful warmth enveloping his cock. Looking down, he saw Seto Kaiba's mouth taking in every inch of his length. Everything he was experiencing tonight seemed to be much more intense than their last. Neither teen was complaining; both knew that this night would be special. And something so special should be taken slow so as to savor the experience. There would be other opportunities for sex, but this was their true first time together – without deadly interruption.
Kaiba continued to suck as he stretched Jounouchi's opening thoroughly. Finally, enough time had passed; the CEO could not wait any longer.
Releasing the cock from his mouth, Seto topped his blonde lover, lifting his hips for an easier entrance. They didn't need verification that everything was all right; they already knew that this had been long overdue. But Kaiba wanted all doubts out of Jounouchi's mind for good. "This will not change anything. I will still love you in the morning."
Jou gasped at Seto Kaiba's emotional admission, and at the feeling of intrusion as the large cock entered his well-lubed entrance. No pain was felt, only a slight pressure that turned instantly to pleasure. "I love you so much, you have no idea," the blonde breathed heavily as his body was being thrust up almost to the headboard from the force of Kaiba's hips.
The friction around his cock felt too good to be true. Never had anything come close to the pleasure Kaiba was receiving and giving at the moment. He never wanted the moment to end, but the tingly feeling in the pit of his stomach said otherwise as he felt his approaching orgasm. "Katsuya…pup. I need you to…ugh, come soon," the CEO tried to say.
Jou only nodded, reaching his hand down to grasp his own cock, which had been already well lubricated with precum and saliva. "Oh, fuck!" His back arched, his breathing hitched, and white liquid poured onto his chest, leaving him to bask in a calm afterglow. Jou could still feel Kaiba thrusting his cock inside of him, grunting as his orgasm peaked and then subsided. The brunette remained still, looking down at the half dazed figure beneath him. Katsuya did the same, mesmerized by those deep, blue eyes of Kaiba's.
Suddenly, Kaiba's body spasmed for a moment, almost as if he was shivering uncontrollably from the cold. But Jounouchi felt very warm; not cold at all. "What was that?"
"Cum chill, or at least that's what I call it." They both laughed while the brunette grabbed a tissue from his nightstand, wiping down both their bodies. After the mess had been cleaned, Seto spooned with his lover, breathing in the musky scent of sex from their bodies and shampoo from Jounouchi's hair. "I meant what I said, Jou. I do care for you more than anything. I believe it's love, but I am not quite sure. It's the same feeling I have for Mokuba, except for the lust part. If I am wrong, all I can do is apologize, and try to keep you with me for as long as I can.'
"I understand, Set. I am just glad tonight didn't end up like that nightmare. That started all of this, you know?"
Kaiba kissed the top of Jou's forehead. "No, Bakura did. And we changed our fate from what he wrote, even creating what he tried to end. Yami says it's a type of soul bond. But…I believe this feeling is much too deep to be said in any vernacular. It transcends all that, do you understand?"
"I feel the same way you do, Seto. I just wish we hadn't had to go through all that pain before," Jou sighed, pressing his back against Kaiba's chest.
The brunette chuckled, rubbing his hand up and down Katsuya's arm. "You never appreciate anything you have until you've lost it. You can't know what pleasure is without pain. We've both experienced a lot more pain than most people, so that just means we can be even happier now than the rest."
"Promise? No more nightmares?"
"Now that's a promise I can keep."
End
