Summary: One Kaiba Seto learns that just like money, neither happiness nor Christmas miracles grow on trees It’s actually more in the form of a mischievous blond name Jounouchi Katsuya.
A huge yawn passed through lips that had been previously curved in a frown as doleful violet eyes drooped shut. A green shovel was suddenly shoved against the weary small body, jolting the owner awake.
“Here Yug! Just dig up a pile of snow fer me ta use!” Jou gave his biggest trademark grin, his hand still on the wooden handle of the garden tool. “Da snow plows did most of da work for ya so it should be easy.”
“Jou-kun…please, please tell me….” the tri-haired colored teen paused to yawn once more. “Why are we in front of Kaiba Corp at two in the morning…” Another yawn passed through his lips. “Building a snowman?”
“Not just any snowman, Yug! A snow Kaiba!” The blond dumped a black garbage bag onto the snow-covered concrete. “I’m gonna put mah artistic skills to use and build a life-sized sex god right here in this parking lot.”
The sleepy teen took a moment to look around in the large, empty parking lot that they were in, taking note of the lone security guard, asleep, in his booth at the entrance.
Lucky bastard.
“But why?” the smaller of the two irritably asked.
“Because Yug, on Christmas, everyone is supposed ta feel appreciated and loved.” Jou picked up another shovel, a red one, and thrust it deeply into the snow. “Seto, more than deserves ta feel da same way and I’m more than happy ta oblige.” Then he added with a sheepish grin, “And I appreciate ya coming ta help, buddy…”
Yugi snorted silently as he also drove his tool into the man-made piles of snow. “Not as much as I appreciate myself for being talked into doing this bullshit…”
“What was that, Yug?” Curious golden eyes looked over a broad shoulder in anticipation.
“Um, um, I said…bullshit, my shovel got stuck in the snow, and I don’t appreciate it.”
The blond gave a hearty laugh, scooped up another pile and placed it behind him. “Well do da best ya can, I know strength is not a factor for ya.”
“Just as intelligence is not a factor for you; building snow Kaibas at two in the fucking morning…”
“What?”
“Gosh, Kaiba sure is intelligent.”
Jou immediately stopped his labor and he looked up to the stars, dreamily. “Yea, he sure is Yug, he sure is and beautiful too.”
The tri-colored haired teen gave a sigh but he couldn’t help but smile. Truthfully, he would do anything to see the blond happy, even if it meant constructing a Kaiba shrine out of snow at an ungodly hour.
“So, Jou-kun, what’s in the bag?”
“….accessories…” the hazel-eyed teen replied nonchalantly, hesitating as he dropped his shovel, and stooped over.
Yugi furrowed his brows in confusion and curiosity. “Uh, what kind of…accessories?”
“Accessories for a snow Kaiba.” Skillful bronzed hands began to shape and mold the beginnings of a boot
“Well I pretty much figured that out. But what did you get him, exactly?” The little Motou gently cocked his head to the side as he once again saw that familiar blush from earlier.
“Umm…Atrenchcoatandadueldisk…” Jou said in a rushed, low voice while taking out a small tool to carve and form a shoe buckle.
“A what and a what?”
“A trench. Coat. And. A. Duel. Disk…” came the harsh reply through clenched teeth.
“From where?”
“Gee, aren’t ya an inquisitive little midget.” the blushing blond retorted with a growl while he began to work on an identical boot out of another small lump of snow.
“Excuse me?” Yugi gazed down at his brooding friend.
“I said all da questions are makin’ me fidget.” Jou sighed heavily as he came out with the somewhat embarrassing explanation. “Remember dat blimp we were on?”
“Umm, h-hai.”
“Yea so, I got lost findin’ the bathroom and accidentally stumbled inta Kaiba’s dressin’room instead.”
Violet eyes widened in shock. “Ok, let me get this straight, you stole a trench coat and duel disk from Kaiba when we were on the Battle City blimp.”
“W-well it had his scent and…it makes a…a great sleep aid…heh heh..” The blond cursed silently as his trembling hands made him chip off too much from the forming calf muscle.
“What about the duel disk?”
“It sorta had his scent too…”
“Now that’s just disturbing.”
“Keep shoveling, half pint.”
Yugi gave a roguish grin before picking up where he had left off from his task. “So what’s next after you build that thing?”
“Well, ya could go on home and get some sleep if ya want, as for me…” the blond got up and stretched his aching legs, “I’m gonna sit right here and wait fer him to show up. He usually arrives here around five and I’ll be just about finishin’.”
“And how do you know that he clocks in to work around five?”
And there was that blush again.
The violet-eyed teen couldn’t help but laugh as he snuggled into his purple parka. He would have never pegged his goofy friend to be some sort of lovesick stalker. “Well?” he then asked in a teasing tone, “Have you been living up to those dog names all this time, after all?”
“Up yours, shrimp! I just so happen ta have been in dis particular area one night while I was on da way ta grab something from da convenience store, when I noticed da limo…” Jou gathered up a mound of snow and began to carefully add it to the rather impressive pair of ice boots.
“Okay but you do realize why they call it a convenience store right?”
“Uhh…”
“You don’t have to go cross town to get a case of beer or a pack of chips since they are conveniently placed within the neighborhood area.” Yugi raised his eyebrows, trying not to laugh aloud at the fumbling, cursing blond, who had just once again accidentally disfigured the elegant leg of snow Kaiba.
“And you live right beside o—“
“DAMMIT, YUGI PICK UP DAT SHOVEL AND PILE UP SOME SNOW, OR I WILL USE IT TA PILE UP SOME BRAINS!”
The smaller teen laughed in glee as he too finally realized that it was damned fun to tease the blond. Such anger was addictive and was meant to be seen over and over again. Well…until you got punched in the eye or something.
But of course, the small teen vowed that it would never come to that with him.
“S-sorry, Yug I didn’t mean ta…” Jou mumbled in guilt as he mistook the sudden silence for sadness and hurt feelings.
“No, don’t apologize, it was my fault Jou-kun, I was the one who provoked you.” The tri-colored haired teen picked up the shovel once more and began to thrust it into the mounds. “I’ll want bother you anymore.”
The blond chuckled as he gazed at the forming bottom half of his obsession. It unnerved him just a little that he’s able to construct the brunet so precisely, but then again when one gazed upon such a living artwork day and sleepless nights, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise.
“So what should I say?”
“About what?” Yugi looked quizzically at the working blond.
“About him, I want ta leave a nice heartfelt phrase at da bottom of dis.”
The little Motou shrugged, having absolutely no clue. “I guess it’s whatever you have in your heart to say, Jou-kun.”
The blond sighed. That was indeed the problem. He had so much in his heart that he wanted to say, how could he possibly put it into one measly phrase?
Suddenly eyes began to sparkle in delight as Jou immediately scrambled to his feet; he excitedly revealed his ingenious phrase through the use of his hands. “How about ‘Because My Love For You, I Can’t Simply Wrap With A Bow Merry Christmas, Kaiba Seto’”
“And you’re going to let him see you with that written?” Yugi frowned in worry. It was obviously a fact that Jounouchi had intense feelings for Kaiba, but no one had said anything about the feelings of said brunet.
The blond faltered as he had never really thought about it. “Well, I uh…could...ah, to hell with it, Yug’! I’m tired of sitting around doing nothin’! Either way, at least I would be able ta stop wastin’ mah time wonderin’ of what could’ve been. I WANT him ta see me.”
The smaller teen nodded in understanding, as it would definitely bring some closure. He then turned to inspect the almost finished lower half of his friend’s pleasure and pain. “Heh, it’s not like you didn’t mind wondering, considering that you’ve put A LOT of emphasis on his behind. Are you sure that’s anatomically correct?”
Blushing and somewhat sputtering, Jou whirled back around to face his work. “Pfft yea, it’s whatever-ya- jus-said correct! I’ve looked dere more than any otha body part, his face is only second.”
“Oh? And what about below the KC-initialed belt?”
The blond snickered in response while completely surprised that he was even having this type of conversation with Yugi, of all people.
“While I’m quite certain dat I won’t be disappointed, I can’t exactly say anythin’ about somethin’ I’ve never seen before er, yet.”
Both boys broke out in heartfelt laughter, just realizing that the true miracle would actually be getting into the cranky CEO’s pants.
Gasping for air, the hazel-eyed teen turned back to his project yet again. “C’mon, Yug’ and let’s finish dis up. I hate for him to pull up and the only thing I have to show for is his sculpted ass.”
The little Motou giggled as he picked up his shovel, no longer feeling tired or irritable. In fact, he was thrilled, and thought he just might camp out with his blond friend.
Seeing a certain brunet’s face in the morning would absolutely be priceless.
* * *
“There’s been a bad accident at the intersection of Oodokoro and Satoku Avenue, and it looks like traffic will be backed up for miles, Kaiba-sama.”
“Well take the back road on your left at the Kani Sushi Bar, it’ll take a bit longer to get to the office but at least we won’t be sitting around like the rest of these idiots.”
“H-hai, Kaiba-sama…” The chauffeur quickly turned on his left turn signal and veered off in that direction still confused for not being yelled at. Usually every traffic accident in a twenty-five mile radius was his fault, and his alone. “With this route, we should be there in about a half a hour.”
“Mochiron” The brunet replied in agreement as he bent over to take up his briefcase. Then with a push of a black button upon the door on his right, the tinted window that’s between him and his young driver rose up. Sighing now, the blue-eyed genius opened the briefcase and gently took out a familiar opened red envelope, proceeding to remove the painfully adorable card that was inside.
“Dammit, Kaiba. It’s just an invitation, probably from one of those orphanage workers, who just so happened to have remembered you.”
Somehow though, he knew it was from someone more specific but who? No one had ever cared enough to have thought of him on Christmas before.
Jounouchi…
The CEO stiffened a bit at the subtle whisper of the blond’s name in his subconscious mind. It caused him to nearly laugh aloud.
Now where did he get such a ridiculous idea?
Idly, azure eyes looked at the playful Red Eyes playing leap frog over his seemingly irritable Blue Eyes on the invitation cover. Then with a snort, Kaiba huffily returned the card back into the envelope. Having the inu’s trademark dragon on the cover didn’t mean a damn thing, and besides he’s not one for such sentimental bullshit…
So why did he find himself secretly hoping that such sentimental bullshit was indeed from the idiot?
Oh yeah, because he had just recently developed a schoolgirl crush on the insufferable blond and it had certainly done nothing to help his holiday blues.
Maybe that’s why he’d been acting so… female as of late?
The sudden loud ringtone had the pondering teen jumping slightly as he promptly flipped it open and brought it to his left ear.
“Kaiba.”
A hesitant, nervous voice began to speak.
“I’m about five minutes or so away from the office, why?”
Upon hearing the news, the brunet slowly sat up in the leather seat of the limo.
“There’s a what in the parking lot?”
The voice calmly, but just as nervously repeated the line.
“I’m sorry I must be having a stupid moment because I could have sworn that you just said –“
“And it has a—“
A smirk then came across the teen billionaire’s face as he couldn’t help but feel flattered. He just had to ask…
“Hmm, so how big?”
* * *
Glass doors immediately slid open with a whoosh as white sneakers slightly squeak upon the beige linoleum floor
“Jou!” Jou!”
The aforementioned blond mumbled something along the lines of Seto serving him a pepperoni pizza in a mini skirt as he simply turned over and buried his face in the soft cushion of the green couch of the Kaiba Corp. lobby.
“Jou-kuuun! Wake up! There’s something seriously wrong with snow Kaiba!” Yugi desperately tugged at the big green bubble coat. “And I’m afraid if Kaiba sees it, he’ll get the wrong idea! Jou-kun, please!”
“Wha—What? Wha is it about Kaiba? Do I do I have ta beat someone’s ass?” The blond sits up wobbly, rubbing his eyes.
The violet-eyed teen growled as he tried hard to not rip one of his triangular locks from his head.
“No! well yes actually someone ruined, err more like – enhanced - snow Kaiba, and its creating quite a stir.”
“What ya takin’ bout Yug?” Before the smaller teen could open his mouth to explain, two giggling women walked in with blushes deeply staining their cheeks.
“Oh my and they say rich men buy big things to compensate.” the blond woman in the brown fur coat shook her head, giggling some more.
The other random woman with black hair in a green business suit chimed in, “Maybe Kaiba buys big things to make himself seem smaller but then again, only a horse can swing like that.”
“Well Kaiba certainly means seahorse as in, see the horse I got stuffed in my business slacks,” The other woman responded back with a smirk. The female associates of Kaiba Corp then cackled like hyenas before they disappeared into the elevator.
“Girl, you really need to lay off the Folgers…”
Jou took one fleeting look at his small companion before he made a mad dash out into the parking lot. At first he couldn’t really see his beautiful creation since there was a huge crowd encircling it. Voices of humor, anguish, and shock reached the blond’s ears, as he pushed his way through the crowd.
“Who would do such a thing?”
“Who dares mock Kaiba-sama in this way?”
“Mockery? I say it’s a Christmas blessing…”
“A love that simply can’t be wrapped with a bow, huh?”
“Shit, that thing can’t simply be wrapped with a condom!”
What in the hell had happened while he was asleep?
Finally getting into the center of where all the attention was being generated, Jou’s jaws promptly dropped as he looked at the addition to his precious snow god.
“What da fuck? Who would put a third leg on mah statue?!”
Yugi, who had finally caught up to the frantic teen, rolled his eyes in slight annoyance. “Um, Jou-kun, maybe you need to wipe the sleep from your eyes, that’s not a leg…”
“It’s not?! Then what...holy shit dat’s a penis!” The blond nearly fainted on the spot as he realized that his snow Kaiba was now equipped with a wand to perform miracles.
Whoever was responsible was just as good with his/her hands as Jounouchi. The leather pants had been sculpted to look unzipped with the appendage spilling over like a waterfall. It really didn’t help the matter any that the snowman had been previously designed with his hands proudly on the hips, sporting an arrogant smirk on the handsome face.
“OH KAMI, WHAT IF KAIBA SEES DIS?!”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell—“ the little Motou tried to reason but was effectively cut off when he witnessed a blond blur racing up to the statue.
“I-I gotta fix dis!” Jou firmly placed his hand upon the ‘treasure,’ ignoring the snickers rippling throughout the crowd. “I gotta fix dis befo—“
“Well, well, well. And this is what happens when you give a dog a bone…”
The blond froze.
Before he turned around, he prayed to every deity he could think of that the person who sounded a lot like Kaiba wasn’t Kaiba. He then turned around and stared straight into laughing blue eyes.
“What? I would ask if the cat got your tongue but obviously a kitty is certainly not what you’re interested in.”
Jou slowly turned back and let his head fall heavily upon the snow rod. “Oh…gah…dammit.”
“Get these imbeciles out of here.” Kaiba sneered irritably.
“Alright break it up, break it up. There’s nothing more to see here, you have your work so get to it!” Roland bellowed out, as he and his crew started escorting people away.
Yugi gazed toward his distressed friend before turning back to the smug brunet. “Kaiba-san, please don’t be so hard on Jounouchi-kun, he worked really hard to build this for you. It’s jus--”
“The mutt did this?” The brunet stared in amazement at the eerie resemblance of himself, finding it even more breathtaking now that he knew who the artist was. “Hmmm, never thought that you would think so highly of me, inu…I’m kind of…flattered.”
Kaiba cursed silently to himself, hoping that the blond didn’t pick up on the truth hidden in that sentence. Did he even smirk when he said that? Shit he didn’t remember… He then gave a calculated smirk to be on the safe side and for good measure.
The blond whirled back around in absolute shock as he hesitantly asked. “Ya-Ya not mad? Ya don’t think I’ve crossed the line?”
The blue-eyed genius crossed his arms in an arrogant manner. “Mad? Why would I be mad at your wild imagination of what’s below my belt? The only thing that I’m even remotely perturbed about is that now I know the culprit who shanghaied me for my trench coat and duel disk.”
Jou growled, as the anger began to mount. Of course, the snob bastard would get an ego boost from this! What the hell was he thinking?! “Don’t go tooting ya own horn, ya prick. I didn’t sculpt THAT part; someone else did as some sort of sick prank. I just wanted—,”
“To do something special for your master?” the CEO blurted out before he had time to realize the mistake in those words.
“Ya know what? Go ta hell, ya bastard! Here I am tryna do something nice fer ya, even though I should’ve seen dat ya wouldn’t appreciate it. Let’s go, Yug.” the blond tried to rush past the confused brunet only to be stayed by a firm grip to his bicep.
“If you knew I wouldn’t appreciate it, then why did you waste your time?” Kaiba asked with urgency. He tightened his hold in need, a need that he desperately wanted to cater to.
“Because I thought dat even someone like you should be happy fah Christmas, but I guess I was wrong.” Jou didn’t bother to snatch his arm away, the thought that the brunet was holding on to him renewed his hope just a bit. “What would make ya happy, Kaiba?”
The question completely threw the usually calm teen off; he was not at all expecting it.
You…
You were all I ever could hope to have.
“How about a dog with reindeer antlers delivered to me in a green basket.” Kaiba retorted bitterly as he turned back towards the handmade image of himself. It was then he realized the inscription at the bottom.
Sighing, Jou gave the brooding brunet one last look before taking his leave.
“Jou-kun…”
“Let’s jus go Yug’. I tried.”
The little Motou stared in shock before he ran a bit to catch up with the retreating form. “That’s it? You’re going to give up just like that?”
The hazel-eyed teen shrugged, but said nothing as he continued to walk forward.
Yugi stared downcast to the snow and therefore he completely missed the insightful grin on the blond's face.
"I think I might need ta make a few errands before going home."
This time the smaller teen caught the grin, and thus conjured up one of his own.
As the voices began to fade, the brunet immediately fell to his hands and knees, tears of remorse and regret quietly running from widened blue eyes, and then down reddened cheeks.
So he completely screwed up the one chance at being truly happy.
Like he give a shit.
And he’d just have to continue to tell himself that until this horrid holiday is over.
But then there was always next Christmas...
Pale hands fisted through auburn locks, as the tormented brunet let out a painful wail.
To Be Continued
Items Used:
A well sculpted, over endowed, anatomically correct blue eyed snowman, wearing one of Seto's old trench coats and duel disks.

“No, don’t apologize, it was my fault Jou-kun, I was the one who provoked you.” The tri-colored haired teen picked up the shovel once more and began to thrust it into the mounds. “I’ll want bother you anymore.”
The blond chuckled as he gazed at the forming bottom half of his obsession. It unnerved him just a little that he’s able to construct the brunet so precisely, but then again when one gazed upon such a living artwork day and sleepless nights, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise.
“So what should I say?”
“About what?” Yugi looked quizzically at the working blond.
“About him, I want ta leave a nice heartfelt phrase at da bottom of dis.”
The little Motou shrugged, having absolutely no clue. “I guess it’s whatever you have in your heart to say, Jou-kun.”
The blond sighed. That was indeed the problem. He had so much in his heart that he wanted to say, how could he possibly put it into one measly phrase?
Suddenly eyes began to sparkle in delight as Jou immediately scrambled to his feet; he excitedly revealed his ingenious phrase through the use of his hands. “How about ‘Because My Love For You, I Can’t Simply Wrap With A Bow Merry Christmas, Kaiba Seto’”
“And you’re going to let him see you with that written?” Yugi frowned in worry. It was obviously a fact that Jounouchi had intense feelings for Kaiba, but no one had said anything about the feelings of said brunet.
The blond faltered as he had never really thought about it. “Well, I uh…could...ah, to hell with it, Yug’! I’m tired of sitting around doing nothin’! Either way, at least I would be able ta stop wastin’ mah time wonderin’ of what could’ve been. I WANT him ta see me.”
The smaller teen nodded in understanding, as it would definitely bring some closure. He then turned to inspect the almost finished lower half of his friend’s pleasure and pain. “Heh, it’s not like you didn’t mind wondering, considering that you’ve put A LOT of emphasis on his behind. Are you sure that’s anatomically correct?”
Blushing and somewhat sputtering, Jou whirled back around to face his work. “Pfft yea, it’s whatever-ya- jus-said correct! I’ve looked dere more than any otha body part, his face is only second.”
“Oh? And what about below the KC-initialed belt?”
The blond snickered in response while completely surprised that he was even having this type of conversation with Yugi, of all people.
“While I’m quite certain dat I won’t be disappointed, I can’t exactly say anythin’ about somethin’ I’ve never seen before er, yet.”
Both boys broke out in heartfelt laughter, just realizing that the true miracle would actually be getting into the cranky CEO’s pants.
Gasping for air, the hazel-eyed teen turned back to his project yet again. “C’mon, Yug’ and let’s finish dis up. I hate for him to pull up and the only thing I have to show for is his sculpted ass.”
The little Motou giggled as he picked up his shovel, no longer feeling tired or irritable. In fact, he was thrilled, and thought he just might camp out with his blond friend.
Seeing a certain brunet’s face in the morning would absolutely be priceless.

“There’s been a bad accident at the intersection of Oodokoro and Satoku Avenue, and it looks like traffic will be backed up for miles, Kaiba-sama.”
“Well take the back road on your left at the Kani Sushi Bar, it’ll take a bit longer to get to the office but at least we won’t be sitting around like the rest of these idiots.”
“H-hai, Kaiba-sama…” The chauffeur quickly turned on his left turn signal and veered off in that direction still confused for not being yelled at. Usually every traffic accident in a twenty-five mile radius was his fault, and his alone. “With this route, we should be there in about a half a hour.”
“Mochiron” The brunet replied in agreement as he bent over to take up his briefcase. Then with a push of a black button upon the door on his right, the tinted window that’s between him and his young driver rose up. Sighing now, the blue-eyed genius opened the briefcase and gently took out a familiar opened red envelope, proceeding to remove the painfully adorable card that was inside.
“Dammit, Kaiba. It’s just an invitation, probably from one of those orphanage workers, who just so happened to have remembered you.”
Somehow though, he knew it was from someone more specific but who? No one had ever cared enough to have thought of him on Christmas before.
Jounouchi…
The CEO stiffened a bit at the subtle whisper of the blond’s name in his subconscious mind. It caused him to nearly laugh aloud.
Now where did he get such a ridiculous idea?
Idly, azure eyes looked at the playful Red Eyes playing leap frog over his seemingly irritable Blue Eyes on the invitation cover. Then with a snort, Kaiba huffily returned the card back into the envelope. Having the inu’s trademark dragon on the cover didn’t mean a damn thing, and besides he’s not one for such sentimental bullshit…
So why did he find himself secretly hoping that such sentimental bullshit was indeed from the idiot?
Oh yeah, because he had just recently developed a schoolgirl crush on the insufferable blond and it had certainly done nothing to help his holiday blues.
Maybe that’s why he’d been acting so… female as of late?
The sudden loud ringtone had the pondering teen jumping slightly as he promptly flipped it open and brought it to his left ear.
“Kaiba.”
A hesitant, nervous voice began to speak.
“I’m about five minutes or so away from the office, why?”
Upon hearing the news, the brunet slowly sat up in the leather seat of the limo.
“There’s a what in the parking lot?”
The voice calmly, but just as nervously repeated the line.
“I’m sorry I must be having a stupid moment because I could have sworn that you just said –“
“And it has a—“
A smirk then came across the teen billionaire’s face as he couldn’t help but feel flattered. He just had to ask…
“Hmm, so how big?”
* * *
Glass doors immediately slid open with a whoosh as white sneakers slightly squeak upon the beige linoleum floor
“Jou!” Jou!”
The aforementioned blond mumbled something along the lines of Seto serving him a pepperoni pizza in a mini skirt as he simply turned over and buried his face in the soft cushion of the green couch of the Kaiba Corp. lobby.
“Jou-kuuun! Wake up! There’s something seriously wrong with snow Kaiba!” Yugi desperately tugged at the big green bubble coat. “And I’m afraid if Kaiba sees it, he’ll get the wrong idea! Jou-kun, please!”
“Wha—What? Wha is it about Kaiba? Do I do I have ta beat someone’s ass?” The blond sits up wobbly, rubbing his eyes.
The violet-eyed teen growled as he tried hard to not rip one of his triangular locks from his head.
“No! well yes actually someone ruined, err more like – enhanced - snow Kaiba, and its creating quite a stir.”
“What ya takin’ bout Yug?” Before the smaller teen could open his mouth to explain, two giggling women walked in with blushes deeply staining their cheeks.
“Oh my and they say rich men buy big things to compensate.” the blond woman in the brown fur coat shook her head, giggling some more.
The other random woman with black hair in a green business suit chimed in, “Maybe Kaiba buys big things to make himself seem smaller but then again, only a horse can swing like that.”
“Well Kaiba certainly means seahorse as in, see the horse I got stuffed in my business slacks,” The other woman responded back with a smirk. The female associates of Kaiba Corp then cackled like hyenas before they disappeared into the elevator.
“Girl, you really need to lay off the Folgers…”
Jou took one fleeting look at his small companion before he made a mad dash out into the parking lot. At first he couldn’t really see his beautiful creation since there was a huge crowd encircling it. Voices of humor, anguish, and shock reached the blond’s ears, as he pushed his way through the crowd.
“Who would do such a thing?”
“Who dares mock Kaiba-sama in this way?”
“Mockery? I say it’s a Christmas blessing…”
“A love that simply can’t be wrapped with a bow, huh?”
“Shit, that thing can’t simply be wrapped with a condom!”
What in the hell had happened while he was asleep?
Finally getting into the center of where all the attention was being generated, Jou’s jaws promptly dropped as he looked at the addition to his precious snow god.
“What da fuck? Who would put a third leg on mah statue?!”
Yugi, who had finally caught up to the frantic teen, rolled his eyes in slight annoyance. “Um, Jou-kun, maybe you need to wipe the sleep from your eyes, that’s not a leg…”
“It’s not?! Then what...holy shit dat’s a penis!” The blond nearly fainted on the spot as he realized that his snow Kaiba was now equipped with a wand to perform miracles.
Whoever was responsible was just as good with his/her hands as Jounouchi. The leather pants had been sculpted to look unzipped with the appendage spilling over like a waterfall. It really didn’t help the matter any that the snowman had been previously designed with his hands proudly on the hips, sporting an arrogant smirk on the handsome face.
“OH KAMI, WHAT IF KAIBA SEES DIS?!”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell—“ the little Motou tried to reason but was effectively cut off when he witnessed a blond blur racing up to the statue.
“I-I gotta fix dis!” Jou firmly placed his hand upon the ‘treasure,’ ignoring the snickers rippling throughout the crowd. “I gotta fix dis befo—“
“Well, well, well. And this is what happens when you give a dog a bone…”
The blond froze.
Before he turned around, he prayed to every deity he could think of that the person who sounded a lot like Kaiba wasn’t Kaiba. He then turned around and stared straight into laughing blue eyes.
“What? I would ask if the cat got your tongue but obviously a kitty is certainly not what you’re interested in.”
Jou slowly turned back and let his head fall heavily upon the snow rod. “Oh…gah…dammit.”
“Get these imbeciles out of here.” Kaiba sneered irritably.
“Alright break it up, break it up. There’s nothing more to see here, you have your work so get to it!” Roland bellowed out, as he and his crew started escorting people away.
Yugi gazed toward his distressed friend before turning back to the smug brunet. “Kaiba-san, please don’t be so hard on Jounouchi-kun, he worked really hard to build this for you. It’s jus--”
“The mutt did this?” The brunet stared in amazement at the eerie resemblance of himself, finding it even more breathtaking now that he knew who the artist was. “Hmmm, never thought that you would think so highly of me, inu…I’m kind of…flattered.”
Kaiba cursed silently to himself, hoping that the blond didn’t pick up on the truth hidden in that sentence. Did he even smirk when he said that? Shit he didn’t remember… He then gave a calculated smirk to be on the safe side and for good measure.
The blond whirled back around in absolute shock as he hesitantly asked. “Ya-Ya not mad? Ya don’t think I’ve crossed the line?”
The blue-eyed genius crossed his arms in an arrogant manner. “Mad? Why would I be mad at your wild imagination of what’s below my belt? The only thing that I’m even remotely perturbed about is that now I know the culprit who shanghaied me for my trench coat and duel disk.”
Jou growled, as the anger began to mount. Of course, the snob bastard would get an ego boost from this! What the hell was he thinking?! “Don’t go tooting ya own horn, ya prick. I didn’t sculpt THAT part; someone else did as some sort of sick prank. I just wanted—,”
“To do something special for your master?” the CEO blurted out before he had time to realize the mistake in those words.
“Ya know what? Go ta hell, ya bastard! Here I am tryna do something nice fer ya, even though I should’ve seen dat ya wouldn’t appreciate it. Let’s go, Yug.” the blond tried to rush past the confused brunet only to be stayed by a firm grip to his bicep.
“If you knew I wouldn’t appreciate it, then why did you waste your time?” Kaiba asked with urgency. He tightened his hold in need, a need that he desperately wanted to cater to.
“Because I thought dat even someone like you should be happy fah Christmas, but I guess I was wrong.” Jou didn’t bother to snatch his arm away, the thought that the brunet was holding on to him renewed his hope just a bit. “What would make ya happy, Kaiba?”
The question completely threw the usually calm teen off; he was not at all expecting it.
You…
You were all I ever could hope to have.
“How about a dog with reindeer antlers delivered to me in a green basket.” Kaiba retorted bitterly as he turned back towards the handmade image of himself. It was then he realized the inscription at the bottom.
Sighing, Jou gave the brooding brunet one last look before taking his leave.
“Jou-kun…”
“Let’s jus go Yug’. I tried.”
The little Motou stared in shock before he ran a bit to catch up with the retreating form. “That’s it? You’re going to give up just like that?”
The hazel-eyed teen shrugged, but said nothing as he continued to walk forward.
Yugi stared downcast to the snow and therefore he completely missed the insightful grin on the blond's face.
"I think I might need ta make a few errands before going home."
This time the smaller teen caught the grin, and thus conjured up one of his own.
As the voices began to fade, the brunet immediately fell to his hands and knees, tears of remorse and regret quietly running from widened blue eyes, and then down reddened cheeks.
So he completely screwed up the one chance at being truly happy.
Like he give a shit.
And he’d just have to continue to tell himself that until this horrid holiday is over.
But then there was always next Christmas...
Pale hands fisted through auburn locks, as the tormented brunet let out a painful wail.
To Be Continued

A well sculpted, over endowed, anatomically correct blue eyed snowman, wearing one of Seto's old trench coats and duel disks.
