Summary: Seto believes Jounouchi left him for someone else. But he
discovers he was wrong.


****

Jounouchi looked up as Seto carefully laid him on what was now their
bed and sat beside him. "Seto, I know we agreed not ta discuss it
until later, but it is later. What do ya think happened today?" He
was curious about Seto's take on the events even though he already
knew the answer.

"I don't know. Someone took control of the computer and locked us
out. I will find out more."

A smug smile lit Jounouchi's golden eyes. "Yer gonna look for
a `rational' explanation ain't ya?"

"What other kind is there?" The question was edged with impatience
but he could see uncomfortable knowledge swirling in Seto's blue
eyes. His love knew that there was no truly rational explanation he
was simply too practical to accept it. Maybe he could save them time
until Seto could accept the truth.

"One from love? I dunno how but I knew that guy. I mean, I know him
but I don't know his name. Seto I think he was someone who helped me
get through all the bull shit in the sanitarium. I'm sure he helped
me and told me to hang on." He mussed his blond hair with restless
hands. "And somethin' about Rebecca knowing him was strange, like
he'd been helping her too. I don't think you need to look into it
anymore `cause I don't think you'll find anythin'. I don't think
that you'll ever find him by lookin' for a hacker. I think he's
probably way beyond us right now. Ya gotta admit what he did with
Joseph was perfect. What could be worse? He can't control a damn
thing and all he can do is watch and feel what's going on around
him. Worse for him is that Becca hates him. He can feel her hate
and he knows she is gonna enjoy torturing him. I almost feel bad for
the doc but I know he will enjoy torturing him as much as she will
and he'll get laid in the deal." Jou wrapped his arms around Seto's
neck and looked up pleadingly. "Let it go? Don't waste time on it?
Especially if that time could be with me? We have months ta make up
for."

Relieved to have a reason not to find and confront the stranger Seto
nodded. "All right. I'll let it go."

Golden eyes beamed with gratitude and affection. "Thanks. Now, as I
remember, ya promised me a reward if I kept all my food down today."
A playfully wicked look replaced the gratitude. "Time ta pay up."
Eagerly he stripped off the silk pajama pants he'd donned after his
shower.

Seto's eyes raked down the body that had haunted his nightly in his
dreams. His mouth watered and heart skipped several beats. "Hmmm…
I'm a bit hard-up right now." He bent and pressed a teasing kiss to
the corner of his love's mouth. "Will you accept small installments?"

"No. I want it all, payment in full with interest due `cause of time
lost." Abruptly Jounouchi let go and sprawled back on the
pillows. "So get to work 'cause it's gonna take quite a bit of
payin' ta make up for all that time." He arched up offering his
whole body. "Quit teasin' and get started or yer gonna hafta pay a
late fee."

"Late? I can't have payment coming in late. It would ruin my
reputation." Teasingly he ran his tongue across Jounouchi's lips.

"Not to mention givin' ya a hell of a case a blue ball." The blond
smirked and cupped the imperiled balls, squeezing lightly and
kneading gently.

Seto closed his eyes and arched into the warm massage. He'd missed
the sexy teasing of his lover so much that he felt like his body was
going to explode from that simple touch. "Kami…you feel fantastic…"
Heat and need rose sharply in his body making his arousal thicken and
lengthen. Jounouchi's own eyes darkened and became heavy with
passion at his response.

A knock at the door brought Seto down with a thump. "Damn." Taking
a breath he stood and moved to the door while Jounouchi pulled a
blanket up to his waist. "Come in."

The doctor stepped in and smiled when he saw the frustration on both
of their faces. He had a good idea of the scene he'd broken up, both
young men having sought him out for permission for sexual activity.
He'd been glad to give it. He considered the return of sexual
activity a sign of good health for both Seto and Jounouchi. "Sorry
for the interruption. I had to check on you before retiring for the
night."

He automatically crossed to his patient and picked up his
wrist. "Hmmm…a little fast, but I think I understand. I will leave
the sleeping pills on the nightstand just in case but I don't think
you will need them." The doctor turned to leave, and then hesitated
at the threshold. "I hate to ask, but would you happen to have any
lube? Becca's room doesn't have any and I stopped carrying mine when
my lover died."

Jounouchi choked and Seto chuckled as he crossed the room and opened
a small drawer in the nightstand. He pulled out a new bottle and
handed it to the doctor. "Be my guest."

Jounouchi gathered enough breath to ask, "Aren't ya movin' kinda
fast? I mean…"

The doctor gave a smile that would have made a horny tomcat
proud. "His body is sexy and we're both attracted. She says she's
always been curious about an A-gasm. We both want the fucker to
suffer. So yeah, we're good. We don't love each other but we have
the same goals and we respect each other. This is going to be the
beginning of a long and hot relationship." A wistful smile crossed
his lips. "We know love and we know pain. That's a start. Who
knows where it will lead in the future?"

Seto nodded but his smile faded at the doctor's words. Jounouchi
mumbled an embarrassed goodnight. The doctor chuckled and slipped
out the door, closing it quietly behind him.

The blond eyed his lover standing frozen by the night table. "Seto?
What's wrong?"

"Hnnn…he's right Jounouchi." Seto's eyes were dark with pain as he
turned to look at his love. Jounouchi sprawled across his bed was a
sight he'd never expected to see again. He could only thank Kami
that he was given another chance. "We don't know the future. Before
you disappeared I was afraid of how I felt and I didn't tell you a
lot things, didn't do some things. I put them off because I didn't
want to give up control." He smiled bitterly. "I regretted those
things most when I thought you'd left me." Slipping off his clothes,
reveling in the wide golden eyes devouring his body, he unashamedly
showed his pleasure at his lover's admiration. He didn't try to
control the flush coloring his skin, his escalating breathing or
stirring sex. He wanted Jounouchi to see his responses and know how
excited he was by their shared passion.

To please his audience he swayed gracefully across the floor
deliberately adding a small roll to his hips to emphasize his growing
arousal. "Tonight I'm going to do and tell you everything I should
have before. I never want to regret like that again." He took a
deep breath and opened his heart, painfully removing the barriers of
a lifetime. "The most important thing is to tell you that I…cherish
you. I love and adore you but I also cherish you. You hold more
value to me than almost anything else in heaven and earth. Jounouchi
tonight let me show you I mean it." Kneeling on the bed at his
lover's feet he pleaded "Please."

Jounouchi choked back a sob and tears clouded his eyes. For some
reason - probably lost in his memory - he knew this was something
he'd longed for. It was as if a great weight he hadn't been aware of
was lifting from his heart. Unsteadily he whispered "I think I been
needin' ta hear that for a long time. I'm tryin' ta fly because ya
said that. But Seto ya been cherishin' me since ya rescued me."

"I've been caring for my partner. Now I want to cherish my lover.
Let me? Please?"

Tears under control, Jounouchi laughed. "Yeah. I've been tryin' ta
get ya inta bed for a while now." Exuberantly he threw off the
blanket and sprawled back in invitation, more than willing for
the `cherishing.'

Seto smiled gently and crawled up next to his love. Jounouchi didn't
understand but he would soon. Tenderly he threaded a hand into the
golden hair and began to nuzzle the scented locks. "Your hair is
beautiful. It's so soft and smells like sunshine and my favorite
scent - you. It's short right now but when it grows out it will be
like silk running through my hands. It's one of the most beautiful
things I've ever touched."

"hmmm…"the blond purred and shifted closer eager for more stroking.

The warm hand left his hair to trace around first one ear, then the
other. Both of Seto and Jounouchi shivered. Then Seto's lips teased
the lobe. "You are so sensitive here. It makes me incredibly hot to
know that I can make you come just by nibbling and sucking here. You
respond so openly. I know you don't remember but sometimes when we
went to dull business parties I'd deliberately tease you by
whispering and blowing in your ear. It always made the tedious
bearable. I loved to watch you turn pink and stutter and even when I
protested. I knew I was feeding your fire. I loved it when you'd
drag me into some corner or room and insist on loving me. I never
told you that I wanted you just as much. Now you will always know
that as much as you want me I want you more. I need you and your
needing me makes it stronger." His kisses shifted and he began to
nibble on his love's delicate jaw line. "The more you want and need
me the more I want and need you."

Jounouchi didn't see how that was possible. Seto was still makin'
sense while he was already losing his grip. "Nyah…Seto…ya…yer gonna
talk me inta comin'."

"So go ahead. I've told you, your pleasure increases mine. And when
you come." The brunet's voice faltered for a second then came back
in a husky purr rumbled directly against his ear. "I want to see you
do it over and over again. I want to feel the cream of your come on
my skin, I want to taste it, and I want to feel its heat deep inside
me. And then when you're done I want to make you do it all over
again."

"Ah fuck!" The pictures Seto was painting in his mind were enough to
make his aroused cock flow with the seed his lover wanted so badly.
Pleasurable pain twisted through him making him writhe. "Seto …"

Smiling knowingly with passionate eyes he slid down and took the
flowing cock head between his lips. He lapped to savor his delicious
cream then sucked hard and deep. In less than a second Jounouchi was
arching and screaming as his release spurted down Seto's throat.

While his lover caught his breath Seto rolled over and pulled a small
bottle of lotion out of the bedside drawer. He knelt beside
Jounouchi and warmed the lotion in his hands.

Regaining his senses the relaxed blond chuckled. "In a hurry?"

"Not at all, I still have a lot about you to cherish. I've barely
started." Maintaining his tender look he coated his fingertips with
the warmed lotion and began to rub it lightly into Jounouchi's
face. "You're face is almost girlish when you relax. If you grew
your hair long and dressed in drag you'd pass for a hot woman. But
when you are awake there is no mistaking you for a girl. You radiate
masculinity. I can't stand girly-men and sometimes I used to provoke
you a lot because I love to see your temper flare. Women pout and
cry, you rage like a wildfire. When you are angry you have an
indomitable spirit that makes my heart race from the warmth. It
makes me want to get burned. You are all man and I love it." Slick
fingers slipped down to caress and explore the tendons and hollows of
his throat. "The contradiction of your almost fragile looks and your
masculine heat draws me like nothing else ever has." Lovingly he
cupped his beloved's face. "I love you."

Strong hands slipped lower exploring broad shoulders. "Here you show
your strength. Slim and strong with toned and cut muscles, you could
be a model for masculine beauty." Fingers skinned the definitions,
smoothing the last of the lotion into soft skin. "You used to want
to bulk up. If it makes you happy then do it, because that's most
important. But don't think you have to do it for me. You're perfect
just the way you are."

"Little skinny now though…" Jounouchi couldn't help pointing out.
But he couldn't barely form a sentence. Despite coming just a few
minutes before Seto's touches and words were driving him out of his
mind. His body was hardening as if he hadn't come in months instead
of minutes.

"Not by choice and that will change. But it's not just your body;
it's your heart and soul that I cherish too. And there is nothing
skinny about either of those. I love you completely and if you were
a ninety-pound weakling or a muscle-bound Mr. Universe I'd still love
you."

"Awww…Seto, ya already made me come with just talkin'. Yer gonna
break my heart if ya keep it up." His voice was breathless and
slightly choked. This was so incredible. He knew Seto loved him,
cared for him, but it was like his lover was pulling their hearts out
trying to merge them together. Jounouchi felt like he was melting,
dissolving, merging into a mass of love and desire and Seto was right
there with him.

"Break it? Or mend it? I'm mending mine and I hope to never break
yours." He ran his hands down the too-slim muscular chest, pausing
to feel the strong heartbeat before moving on to stroke the hardened
little points he knew would arouse Jounouchi again. Sadly he
confided, "I almost envy your amnesia. You didn't remember me but I
lived alone every day with your memory. I believed I'd driven you
away by not giving you what you needed." He scattered kisses
randomly across the strong shoulders and chest.

Surprisingly strong hands gripped his face and pulled him up for to
meet golden eyes shining with passion and pain. "That ain't true. I
may not have known yer face or where ya were but I knew ya were out
there. I've known for sure since Christmas. No matter what drugs
they gave me or what they tried to say I knew ya were with me." He
took a shuddering breath. "They called me down ta their little party
and somethin' maybe th' fire, th' snow, I dunno but I saw a place I
knew was home decked out for Christmas with wreaths and mistletoe
everywhere. I could feel ya touchin' me. Ya kissed my neck and
whispered ya loved me, then I could feel ya movin' inside me like ya
was part of my blood. That love was too real to be a delusion. Th'
memory of that helped me ta fight and then when Becca told me about
th' pills, th' courage ta try. Then when I met ya I felt love
again. I didn't know ya were my memory, but I knew th' love was
there. Ya weren't alone Seto. My heart was always with ya just like
yours was with me."

Seto smiled as he warmed more lotion in his hand, this time stroking
it down the flat plane of his love's stomach. "I know that now." He
nibbled on the prominent hip bone. "Thank you." He cradled the hard
manhood, stroking the lotion along the shaft and down to the
responsive sac. "You are beautiful here. I have thought it many
times but I've never told you. Not too big and not too small and
your coloring is perfect... dusky pink that darkens, as you get
hotter. And when you come you look almost pearlescent. I love it.
Like most guys you want to be bigger but to me you are perfect."
Worshipfully he bent and laid kisses from tip to base licking the
spots he knew were most sensitive. He could feel the burn of tears
in the back of his eyes as Jounouchi gripped his hair and arched
eagerly into is lips. He'd missed driving his love into frenzy. The
slightly painful pull on his hair was as dear and familiar as the
taste of lover's honey that pearled on his lips.

Regretfully he pulled away and moved down, all the while stroking the
lotion into the supple skin. "Your legs are long and strong. I love
it when you wrap them around my waist, my shoulders, or my neck. All
of you is sexy but your legs are my second favorite part. I'm a leg
man." Smiling up at the golden eyes that looked as if they were
about to roll into the back of Jounouchi's head he sat up and urged
his lover to roll over. "You know I love your hair and your
shoulders. Your back is strong and straight but flexible. I envy
your flexibility. You can move in ways that I've never seen or would
attempt. When you move and arch, bow, and twist, it's the most
incredible thing I've ever seen and when you do it while I'm inside
you it's all I can do to keep from coming." Keeping his touch
loving, but adding purpose he slid his hands down to cup the perfect
ass. "This...this is my favorite part of your body. Round and firm,
heart-shaped and full, it's the hottest ass I've ever seen."

He feathered kisses down the strong back and placed deep open kisses
on each firm globe. With a delicate touch he parted thet cleft and
exposed the softer-than-silk pink skin surrounding the puckered
opening. "Beautiful." A light press on the pink opening made his
lover stiffen slightly and then upwards with invitation. Seto
accepted with alacrity by shifting his kisses, lightly rimming the
portal with his tongue until it relaxed enough to admit his probing
tongue-thrust. At first his love went rigid and shook his head,
making an instinctive sound of protest. Seto reassured him with
circular strokes on his back and truth. "Sh... I love you and this
is part of you. You just showered and are clean. I want to cherish
everything about you. This place is no less deserving of
treasuring. You give me so much when you allow me to take you here.
There is nothing wrong with my loving you like this" His touches and
words, not to mention the pleasure Seto knew was shooting through
Jounouchi at his tongue's ministrations, convinced the blond to relax
and enjoy. Eagerly he applied his agile tongue to giving Jounouchi
more pleasure, more proof of his love.

A soft whimper and low moan of his name told him that Jounouchi was
reaching his limit. With one last deep kiss he levered onto his
knees and coated his erection with the remaining lotion. "Come up on
your knees, Puppy." He may have ordered it to move but his strong
hands supported and guided Jounouchi's trembling form, moving him
into position. With as much care as he'd shown since the start he
pressed his arousal past the softened ring of muscle and deep into
his lover. "Katsuya..." He breathed the seldom used name as he bent
low and buried his face into Jounouchi's neck. He felt complete and
alive for the first time in months. The aching void in him
disappeared, filled by the heat and love of Jounouchi surrounding
him. He closed his eyes and absorbed the feeling, letting it settle
into his heart and soul.

Jounouchi had had enough. He was losing his mind. He needed Seto
desperately. With a groan he pressed back and gasped "Seto...Kami,
Ya ain't cherishin' ya torturin' me. I've come and I still want
more. I love ya...I forgive ya...I need ya...now do it already and
let me feel ya inside me."

The hard upward thrust of Jounouchi reminded Seto that he'd been too
long without relief. Abruptly his determination to cherish his lover
faded, replaced with the drive for completion. With a low hum of
agreement the brunet thrust deep, trying to strike just the right
spot. A few hard pumps and Jounouchi's cry of ecstasy told him he'd
found it. With each inward plunge he could feel the temperature of
the body gripping him raise. It was everything he remembered and
more - more because he'd learn the true value of loving and losing.
And he would never ignore or take this feeling of love and passion
for granted again.

Seto groaned low when Jounouchi, using that amazing flexibility,
shifted and arched upwards with his whole body, pressing tightly and
wrapping his arms up and around to clasp tightly, bringing his lips
into the curve of his neck. "Ah...yes...Katsuya." The position gave
him complete access to every part of his lover's body. Greedily he
sent one to toy with the tightened buds on Jounouchi's chest while
the other dropped down to grip his cock. "You may not remember but
you know what I need." Nipping and sucking a sensitive earlobe Seto
deliberately added to the sensations his lover was feeling, pushing
him higher, wanting to feel the tight contractions of completion
around his cock as he reached his climax. In just a few seconds the
incredible flexing of Jounouchi's body was milking him of his seed
even as Jounouchi's spurted from his body.

"Ah...Katsuaya...yes..."

"Seto...." Jounouchi managed to gasp before collapsing on the bed.

When Jounouchi woke from his haze Seto was curled around him holding
him tight. "Unnngg...ya killed me."

"La Petite Mortre...the little death is what the French call it."

Jounouchi sat up as if shot. He had a clear image of Seto saying
that exact thing to him in the past. "You've said that to me
before. It was at Christmas." Unconsciously he lifted his hand to
his neck searching for something that he only just realized was
missing.

A smile that radiated love beamed across Seto's face. "Christmas was
special for us. I gave you a necklace with an eternity clasp.
Platinum and white gold twined together in a pattern that had no end
and no beginning. It was supposed to be a promise between us - a
promise of forever. We became formal life partners that night. When
the political situation eases we will marry." Regret dimmed the
smile. "Joseph has a lot to answer for."

Jounouchi was already in motion, sliding out from under his lover and
grabbing the pajama bottoms he'd discarded earlier. He tossed Seto
his pants and motioned "Well hurry up. We're gonna go get my
necklace."

"Jou, come back to bed, I'm not done yet. Your grandfather probably
had it destroyed or sold."

"No, no, he didn't. He gave it to himself as a Christmas present.
At the time it pissed me off and I didn't know why so I trashed the
tree and the mistletoe. Now I know and I wish I'da trashed him too.
I want it back." Giving his lover a fierce look he growled, "He's
taken enough! I want it back now Seto." Pain and rage battled in
the golden eyes for a moment. "I can't have my memories now and I
may never get them back, but I can get this now." Rage lost to
pain. "Please?"

With a rueful grimace down at his still hard cock Seto nodded and,
ignoring the trousers, slipped his robe on. It was long, loose and
it would conceal his erection - he hoped. He trusted Jounouchi would
remember or that he - they were never satisfied with just one
session. If not he'd just have to remind his love.

The determined blond didn't bother with a light rap on the door. He
pounded a rapid beat that shook the sturdy wood in its frame. With
only a heartbeat of pause he slammed his fist into it again. "Doc
open up, Becca's got somethin' of mine I want back right now!" He
yelled through the door "I…" He faltered and the door opened to
reveal a very disheveled and flushed, robe clad doctor.

"Jounouchi! Kaiba! What…" But his blond patient pushed past him
roughly. Joseph…or Becca rather…was sitting in the middle of the big
bed with a sheet gripped tightly against his chest in the classic
pose of corrupted feminine modesty. Jounouchi didn't even notice.
His gaze locked on the gleam of metal around the older man's neck.
Furious, he snarled, "Gimme my necklace. Seto gave it to me when we
became life partners. It's like an engagement and wedding ring ta
us."

"Necklace?" Becca looked blank for a moment then brown flickered in
the green eyes. "I see. Fucking bastard." It was obvious the nude
man was not talking to anyone they could see. With hands faintly
shaking with rage Becca removed the glimmering necklace and handed to
Jou. "I didn't know until just now." The gold faded from her eyes
and the green hardened to cold emeralds. "He's laughing at your
pain. And he says thanks for interrupting." Resolve and something
like dark satisfaction flashed in the green depths. "Let's see how
funny he finds it when I turn Wheeler's over to you as an apology."
A malicious smile crossed her lips. "My granddaughter has plenty of
her own money and I don't want her around anything of his." She
waved them away. "Go on now." With an inviting glance at her almost-
lover she said softly. "We were interrupted at an interesting point."

Jounouchi nodded and spun out of the room. With his free hand he
grabbed Seto and pulled him along. As the door closed they heard
Becca say reflectively. "So you mentioned sounding. I think I'd
like to give it a try and there is something I've always wanted
to...."

Once in their room the blond turned to Seto and handed him the
necklace. "Put it on for me like before?"

"I should wash it…it…"

"No. He can't taint it. Please." He tilted his head forward as the
chain slid around his neck. A soft kiss on the clasp told him Seto
had fastened it back where it belonged. "Thanks."

"Always and forever Jounouchi Katsuya. I love you." Vibrated
against his ear and he began to melt. "Seto…"

Quick hands sent his pajama bottoms to the floor. "Now get on the
bed - I wasn't finished cherishing you."

He scrambled back into the bed and lay back. "I hope you never
finish."

"I won't." It was a vow he kept all of their long life together and
into the next several – ah but that's a different story isn't it?

Owari...probably.
