The Rave

Chapter 3

As Jou finished his classes, he remembered the look on the CEO's face that morning. He still couldn't exactly place what that look was, or why he was in such a daze. Then again it was not as if he knew anything about the elusive CEO. Seto confused him. He always had. When he was in high school, he had never started any of the fights between them, it had always been Seto, but he always finished them as well, usually with himself pinned to the floor with the brunet above him, his eyes blazing. Like now, he could not understand the feeling that he was getting from him, but it did remind him of those time. He was missing something and he did not like being in the dark like that.


Coming down the stairs of the building he could hear a voice call out to him. It got steadily closer and he wondered if maybe he should stop and actually talk to him, or ignore him like he did every day. He did not understand why this guy kept pursuing him. He told him he wasn't interested. Wasn't interested in anything. But this guy kept bothering him and had been for the nearly 4 years that he spent at Moriyaki University that had it's medical campus just in the heart of Domino. It was a shoot of Todai University so the degree would actually be from Tokyo University which made it even more prestigious. He could never figure out how Otogi did it, but he didn't question it either. His figuring was that it was the only gift from Tristan and Otogi that he would accept as he made them stop paying for his education, and had been paying for it himself for the last two years.


Though remembering that, he wondered what he was going to do with Ben tonight. Tonight was his night at the club he worked for and was not really in the mood for it. But it paid extraordinarily well, especially the private dances.


God he hated them, it made him feel like a stripper, but at 250.00 a DANCE, he could never turn it down. And since the policy was No Touching, and he was watched for protection, he didn't feel as bad.


With that thought, he could remember a night where he hadn't had at least three dances per night since he started. A secret that so far, he had managed to keep from Tristan and Otogi. 'Cause if they knew what he was doing, they would have forced the issue, and then he REALLY would have felt kept. Ben was now at an age where he understood a bit more, and had been fine with it. He felt the same way that Jou felt. As long as they didn't touch him nor did he take any of his clothes off, it wasn't so bad.


For the most part he had been lucky. It had been mostly woman that had wanted him to give a 'personal' dance, and it hadn't been any guys. That being said, he always found it strange that women, while nice to look at, did nothing for him. He had come to some sort of conclusion that because of Ben, when he had been at the height of his sexual awareness, had come into his life, and overnight everything had revolved around him, leaving him asexual. He couldn't even remember the last time he had even thought about Jou Jr. But when he did, it was a phantom. Someone that when that person touched him, sent lightning through his body and always made him come. That had been a long time ago, at the very least a year since he had even had a sexual thought, so involved in school and work and Ben.


Ben was now at an age where he had once been, and had chosen the gang life. Fortunately, none of his old contacts had come near him or Tristan, so Ben hadn't been lured into it. Besides, the kid was way too smart.


Unfortunately the buzz behind him was getting louder and more annoying...


"Yo! Jounouchi! Wait up!!" the voice screamed behind him named Kanaye Ito was gaining on him, and he didn't think he would be able to avoid him for much longer. The guy was completely gay and would not get it through his head that he was NOT INTERESTED. Ito's philosophy was 'Can't knock it till ya try it' and he had been getting him to try for the entire 4 years there.


"Ito, for Ra's sake, leave me the fuck alone." Jou finally said acknowledging his stalker


"Ra? Wrong god. That's Egyptian." Ito said, clueless as ever


"Fuck OFF!" Jou said, using harsher language then he had used in a long time. Ben was too much of a mimic.


"Ooooh, you like it dirty. Are you a dirty boy? Can I clean you up, dirty boy?" Ito said trying to be seductive.


It didn't work as Jou looked at him in horror and disgust.


"You sick bastard! I'm 6 years older then you. And I don't LIKE MEN! Fuck OFF!" and with that Jou sped up his walking in the attempt to outrun the man that had decided he wanted to try him out.


"Oh no dirty boy, you are going to be mine. And I can't wait to taste that delicious golden body of yours." he said watching Jou as he strode away still furious at him.


---------------------------

While Jou was in his morning classes, Seto was still at the cafe, reeling from the bleach blonde's revelation.


His puppy....had....procreated....


He had given himself to someone else.....


He wasn't his first....


He wasn't pure anymore....


And he didn't know how to handle that. He wanted to always be first with his puppy. He felt he deserved this. His golden puppy shining as he slowly entered him, filling him so slowly, as he could feel every inch of his glorious self as he broke his virginity and claimed him for all time as his.


And only his.


Now, he wasn't. He had been with someone. And that person had cared enough to give him the ultimate prize. Immortality through procreation.


And he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who was this child, the one that had been born of love from his puppy and the mystery woman. Did he love her? Were they married? Did they have other children?


These were questions that were asked as he sat away the afternoon, ignoring his phone that was ringing off the hook. It was unimportant. Nothing was more important then finding out who this boy was, and seeing the results of his love.


The comings and goings of the patron did not bother him, though the blonde could see that what she had said to him had upset him. Not sure how, as Ben was as sweet as could be, but she did keep coffee going to him. Then they had gotten a call from Kaiba Corp and she had then realized WHO it was who was sitting there. She had told them that he was here, but he wasn't to be disturbed. They had said to keep him happy and send the bill to Mokuba Kaiba and he would take care of it in the morning. And at that the call ended and in the corner was the storm brewed Seto Kaiba.


The day's sun had risen already and it was well past mid-day when the bell chimed again and in bounced Ben. Getting to be nearly as tall as his father, he was a sight to see. He had never had his hair cut, wanting to see if he could rival his 'Papa' the term he used with Otogi so with him at eleven, having nearly ass long hair and his height of nearly 5'8 he was a sight to behold. As well as he had inherited Jou's body so he literally looked like Jou did when he was that age, his hair only being more reddish then his uncle's.


Coming deeper inside he could see that his favourite sitting place was taken, and not by a chipper person. He didn't like unhappy people. He felt that there was always a brighter side to things and being glum about it wasn't going to change it. With that thought he went over to the manager and asked for his mint hot chocolate that they would make for him. He also asked for a second for the 'glum' man. She was initially not sure of who he was talking about until Ben pointed at the corner of oversized couches and saw Kaiba curled into one of the sofas, cradling a long cold cup of the apple cider they had fed him.


"Benoit, I don't think that is a good idea. He has been here since your Daddy left this morning." she said


"Who is he? And how does he know Daddy?" Ben asked as he leaned over the counter and grabbed one of the muffins that they always saved for him. The blond named Hanna, had long ago given up scolding him for doing so and since the owner loved him quite a bit as well, they all had no problem saving one of the double fudge brownie muffins that were made each morning. It also helped that Otogi used them for all his caterings, so making his step-son happy was also in their best interests. No one there had thought it at all strange that the child referred to Jou as 'Daddy' instead of Uncle Katsuya, though there were occasions where Uncle Kat would slip out, but most of the time he referred to him as Daddy.


"Don't know, but he bought your Uncle coffee and cake which he snitched on the man. So not sure if he has eaten." Hanna said to him as she saw the devious glint in his eyes. After knowing him for so long, she knew that it did not bode well for the CEO.


"Daddy always does that to people that don't pay attention." Ben said and with that placed his muffin on one of the plates and then grabbed one of the trays and put the hot chocolates on there as well.


"Wish me luck!" Ben said and with that headed over to the corner, his treasures in hand.

---------------------------

In the corner, he was internalizing what was going on in his mind. Most of it, he had thought of nothing, just letting his mind go blank for a while. He had noticed that an apple cider had been placed into his hands, though not sure where it came from, it was not an unwelcome drink. Sipping it again, he noticed it had gone cold, and the cinnamon had turned slightly syrupy.


Putting it down on the side he closed his eyes and let his head fall back, imagining his puppy again. One of his fondest memories had been when they had a class trip to the beach. He had seen his puppy nearly naked, his hair flowing around him making him shine. Just seeing that others were seeing that gorgeous chest of his made him madder then he had ever been. And unfortunately he had taken it out on the one person that he didn't want to, making Jou madder then he had ever seen him. And he was glorious.


It was still one of his fondest memories.


Thinking about it, he became aware of someone near him. Lifting back up his head he opened his eyes and became startled as he saw a younger version of the boy that he had been thinking about in front of him.


That was when it hit him.


He was looking at Jou's son.


"I'm Ben. Who are you Mister Glum Man?" Ben said in his child-like voice. One he used to get a handle on people.


"Not a glum man." Seto automatically answered and then saw him furrow his eyebrows like he had seen Jou do when he was in deep thought


"Yes you are. You are sad about something. Hanna said you hadn't eaten anything since Daddy scarffed your cake. Here, you can have some of my muffin." Ben said as he offered his half of the muffin. "I also got you one of Hanna's delicious hot chocolates." he added as Seto looked at him strangely


"You are really the Puppy's son?" Seto said in wonderment, not realizing his pet name for him slipped out. But Ben was very perceptive and caught it.


"Who is the Puppy?" Ben answered, not sure if he wanted to correct it. Most people were confused enough about the fact that he looked too much like his uncle, and looked nothing like his father, only having his height.


"Nothing...sorry, I am usually a bit more awake. I'm Seto, Ben. Your father was telling me a bit about you this morning." Seto said trying to bring himself out of the stupor he had been in most of the day and focus on learning what he could about this boy.


"Ahhh...now I understand. You called Daddy mutt in high school. Now I get it." Ben said still focused on this man. He had remembered some of the stories that Jou had said about their past adventures and Seto's role in it. Atemu had always given him some great stories about his life as Pharaoh when he had met them a few years ago. Both him and Yugi were now living in Egypt, with a sect that still followed the old ways. There he had been working with Isis and Solomon doing translations for them.

"He...told you about that?" Seto said startled that he would have mentioned him to his son.


"Sure, you were Daddy's only source of amusement. He loved your fights. Daddy didn't really have time for much, as he worked a lot to save money. Then when I came along, he didn't have time for anything. I am so glad that Father and Papa made him go back to school." Ben said and then with a calculated look on his face watched the confusion appear on Seto's face. Oh...was he going to have some fun with this one.


"Father? Papa?" Seto said confused as to who he was talking about.


"You know them as Tristan and Otogi. My Father and Papa. They have been a couple since I was born and the four of us all live together in Papa's house upstairs. Papa bought it to be close to Daddy's campus cause Daddy has a hard time getting out of bed and Papa was tired of sending cars to get him to school." Ben said and then internally began to gleefully laugh as he could see him get more confused. Ben was a happy child but he loved making adults confused out of their minds. Some people liked to play ball, or play games like his god-father Yugi, but Ben liked to make people confused. Only his Papa knew he did that and encouraged him every chance he got. He couldn't wait till Ben could help him at the headquarters, but both Tristan and Jou had told him he was still too young.


"So you guys live upstairs?" Seto said doing his own calculations about a Puppy kidnapping. What he wouldn't give to see Jou asleep, his golden hair strewn all over him.


"Yeah, you should come visit sometime" Ben threw out, just to test a theory he had. He had been very concerned about his uncle. From everything he had learned about him, only this guy in front of him had made his uncle passionate. He knew his uncle had never dated anyone, as with the gang, and then the adventures they had, and then him, his uncle never had time for a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. He knew his uncle preferred guys as well, though he actually suspected something even more fantastic. That his uncle only preferred one guy. This one. This Seto guy. His uncle talked about him way too much for it to be a coincidence, and from his probing of his Father, he never had an real attraction to his Aunt Mai. She did, but his uncle never saw her. At least not in the way that most men would see his Aunt Mai. He knew she was gorgeous, but his uncle didn't see her in that light. So while he could see the various emotions flitting on this Seto guy he could see that this one, would be the one to make his uncle happy.


"Perhaps I will." Seto said with a grin that if anyone else had seen it, it would have sent shivers down their spine. On Ben, he smiled. Oh, yeah. This guy had it bad for his uncle.



Gods, was he going to have some fun.
