Jounouchi must think he's funny! Honda thought, Boy, I got him good though! The look on his face!

He sped through the city, on his way to Kaiba Corp. to see Kaiba and find out just how far this joke was going to be carried. He had a hard time believing someone like Kaiba would be so bored he would go in on a joke with Jounouchi for a laugh - at his exspense! The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He gripped the gas tight and revved it heading straight for the door, screeching to a hault narrowly missing the guard who had been watching the crazy young man speeding right for him. Honda jumped off and made a run for it.

"Hey! Wait! You can't leave this here!"

"Then move it!" he called back, tossing his keys at the guard who started chasing after him until they were both stopped by the receptionist.

"What is going on?! Oh! Are you Honda Hiroto-san?"

...?!

"Top floor, sir." she pressed a button and pointed the way.

"Y-yes. Thank you...", I think.. He straightened up, made a triumphant face at the bewildered guard and marched toward the elevators.

The guard shot daggers the receptionist, then leaned on her desk coming eye to eye with her.

"Why wasn't I informed?" he asked bitterly. She smacked his elbows off her desk and returned the daggers. It was no secret these two were not eachothers biggest fans.

"Back off! A young man called saying a Honda Hiroto-san might be stopping by, he didn't seem sure. So I called Kaiba-sama and he said and I quote, 'If he does come, he is to be shown the way; no questions, no trouble. Understood?', I said I und..."

"You forgot to tell me?! I chased him..." he squeaked.

"Ooooohh, I won't tell..." she said in a cool voice, then pointed to a camera as she added, "I won't have to."

*Sweat Drop*, "Damn it! I'm a dead man."


Honda burst through the office door to find Kaiba standing in front of a monitor, snickering.

"Kaiba! I want to..."

"You know, Honda-kun; those two have no idea how they amuse me." He looked back over his shouler at Honda and smiled. "I apologize for my guard chasing you. Jounouchi called, it looks as though my receptionist failed to tell him, so he didn't know of my orders..."

"Your orders?"

"To let you in."

"Wow, you and Jounouchi are really going all out on this aren't you?"

"All out on what?" To Honda's surprise, Kaiba seemed genuiley confused, but then, Jounouchi did a pretty good job of it as well.

"On this joke! You in love..."

"A joke?! Is that what Jounouchi told you?!" Now he seemed genuinley angry. Honda stepped back and studied his reaction carefully; he was grinding his teeth and balling his fists. His eyes almost seemed like they were on fire.

"Shit! I should have known that cur would be the wrong p-person to go to!" he said through his teeth, then turned back to the monitor, were it seemed the receptionis and guard were still arguing. "He took me for a fool!" he cried as he put his fist right into the screen.

Honda jumped back and watched in horror. This meant one of two things; they really were going all out, or Kaiba really was in love.

Damn it! What do I do?!, "K-Kaiba, no, that's not... it's just... it's Jounouchi! What am I supposed to think?!" he stepped back again to make sure of Kaiba's reaction. Kaiba seemed to accept this and calmed down.

"Sorry, Honda-kun. You're right." he said softly.

"You mean... this is a..."

"No...!"

"This isn't a..."

"No it isn't." he slowly approached Honda. Cautiously he reached for his cheek and gently stroked it, "Who did this to you?"

Honda had almost forgotten about Jounouchi's right hook from earlier, Yea, tell him Jounouchi did this he'll probably have him killed!, "It was an accident. My own fault." he lied. It took a second or two before he realized Kaiba hadn't backed off; instead he was closer. His hand had moved from his cheek to the back of his neck, the other hand around his waist. Before he could protest, Kaiba pulled him into a deep kiss.

His eyes shot wide open. He felt as though his entire body had locked up.

I-I can't... I can't fight... I can't be...

To his own shock and amazement, he couldn't tell if he couldn't move, or didn't want to. Kaiba knew what he was doing; his tongue was powerful, his lips soft and sweet to the taste. Honda could feel himself being pulled in closer. Something felt wrong, or no, it felt right but... the closer he was being pulled in, the more he could feel them becoming aroused against eachothers' thighs. His senses suddenly snapped back and he was able to push Kaiba away.

"I-I'm sorry! Kaiba, I... I can't!"

"I see..." though he was dissapointed, he didn't seem too surprised, "I don't want to make you uncomfortable..."

"Could have fooled me!"

"I'm sorry." he said softly, and bowed.

Honda wasn't too sure what to make of this, but he was, indeed, uncomfortable.

"I have to go." he said sharply and headed for the door. Kaiba ran to stop him and took him by the shoulder.

"Honda, please, before you go..." he tried to turn Honda gently around to face him, but he resisted. "Alright. I understand, but, please think about this; I could never nor would ever hurt you..."

"Sorry, Kaiba." he removed Kaiba's hand and left... or at least, stepped outside the office door.

What's wrong with me?! I enjoyed that!

He tried to leave, but just the thought of the kiss locked his body up again. He lightly touched his tongue to his lips; Kaiba was still there. Tasting him again only seemed to make him want more.

He quickly turned on his heels and burst through the door. Kaiba was sitting on the edge of his desk, sipping what must have been the culprit for his sweet lips.

"Back so soon?" he asked coldly, swirling the last bit of wine in his glass before shooting it down, "Back to twist the knife?"

Honda ignored the last question and calmly walked toward him. He jumped from the desk and stood tall, readying himself for anything. Honda noticed the glass still in Kaiba's hand and snatched it.

"Got any more of that?" he asked as he pretended to examine the glass.

"Of course..." Kaiba went to reach for the bottle when Honda grabbed his wrist with one hand and dropped the glass from the other taking Kaiba around from behind his neck to pull him into another kiss.

This time, instead of locking up, he felt himself melt right into Kaiba's arms. Kaiba held him tightly and moved the kiss from his lips to his neck then stopped to just hold him.

"Kaiba?"

"Hm?" he let go enough to be able to look Honda in the eye. Deep down he wanted an explination for his sudden change of heart, instead, Honda let a deep sigh and decided to let his new lover in on a little secret.

"Promise not to laugh?" he seemed to be having a hard time not laughing himself.

"I promise."

"Y-your... my first kiss. I guess it just freaked me out a little..."

"I'm flattered. I also would have never guessed..."

...?! Honda blushed and Kaiba began to laugh.

"Hey! You promised...!"

"I'm not laughing at you having never kissed, it's just...well... you're awful cute when you blush." Honda dove into Kaiba's chest to hide and they both began to laugh as they hit the floor with a thud.

Kaiba really isn't so bad! I would almost bet anything he would probably treat me better than any girl would! He's so... so genuine and... and... he looked up into Kaiba's eyes then ran a finger down his cheek all the way to his belt buckle, following it with his eyes, so beautiful...

There were other things going through his mind that he wanted very much to ignore, but couldn't seem to fight the urge to ask. He looked back up into his lover's eyes and became serious.

"Something wrong, Hiroto-chan?" Kaiba had noticed the sudden change in mood. Now Honda really couldn't get out of asking.

"No, I just... there's a few things I want to know..."

"You may ask me anything. I knew you would have questions. I've been questioning myself since Battle City..."

"Batt... that was almost a year ago! Kai..."

"What is it you want to know?"

"Ok, what's in it for Jounouchi? What could you have possibly promised him he would... well..."

"Hook you, his best friend up with Kaiba Seto?" Kaiba moved away and turned his back. What so few, well, only ojiisan knew, was people thinking this way really did bother him.

"Yea, what did you promise him, Kaiba?" he asked sternly. Kaiba seemed impressed and turned back to find Honda's expression was almost as hard as his own. There weren't many people who had the guts to use this tone with him, except maybe the "other-Yugi" and ojiisan.

"Hiroto-chan, all Jounouchi asked of me was to stop calling him a dog..."

"And you said...?"

"I made a promise and I intened to keep it..."

This struck Honda as odd; Jounouchi, hard up for financial help and most of the time a place to live, would only ask one of the richest men in the city, or most of Japan for that matter, to stop calling him names?

"Honestly?! That's all he asked?!"

"I was a little surprised myself, but, that is all he asked." Kaiba still had the words "few things" ringing in his ears. Hesitantly, he asked Honda to go ahead with his other questions.

"I-I'm obviously not your first kiss..." he asked shyly.

"No, you're not..." Kaiba chuckled.

"I guess I probably won't be your first..." Honda had returned to the sharp tone from earlier. Kaiba decided to match it.

"If you are asking if I'm a virgin, I'm not."

"Ok..." this seemed to intrigue Honda, and so long as Kaiba stayed cool, he was going to go ahead and ask, "Has it always been with..."

"Men?"

"Uh, well...I..." Honda's face went bright red again. Kaiba's expression softened and he smiled, trying to assure Honda it was alright.

"No, it hasn't always been with men..." this didn't seem to set well with Honda. If it hasn't always been with men, it meant Kaiba had "been around". He wasn't so sure he wanted to end up just another notch in Kaiba's belt having never been with anyone himself. He flopped into Kaiba's chair - again, Kaiba was impressed; Honda was bold. Not even Mokuba ever attempted to sit in his chair - and sighed heavily, deep in thought. Kaiba sat on the desk in front of him, but Honda couldn't bring himself to look at him.

"What are you thinking? Did I do something wrong?"

"Have you been with a lot of people?", Geez, Honda! What the hell?!, he couldn't believe himself, What a thing to ask!, He covered his face, making feeble attempts not to look up.

Kaiba moved to the window. Wathcing the people below, he tried to figure out a way to answer this honestly without scaring the only person he had ever loved.

That was it! He wasn't in love with any of those people! All he had to do now was convince Honda.

"Hiroto-chan, ever hear the saying 'Wine them , dine them...'..."

"Yea! Please don't finish it!" He jumped from the chair and backed away from Kaiba toward the door. Kaiba found himself again trying to run for him to stop.

"Please, Hiroto-chan! It was all business, nothing more..." he said desparately.

"Did you... you didn't even like these people?!" now he was just appauled.

Shit! Now you've done it, Seto!, "Please, understand..."

"Understand what? You're a corporate slut!"

"Corporate sl... interesting phrase..."

"Kaiba! I can't...unless... do you still?" Honda fell to his knees, his voice cracking. He didn't want to blow this anymore than Kaiba.

"I'm sorry, Hiroto-chan, but, it is just business..." he joined Honda on the floor and wrapped his arms around him. Honda couldn't stand it; the thought of other people enjoying this warm embrace that should only be his.

"STOP IT!" he cried out. To Kaiba's reliefe, he wasn't pushed away, yet to his dismay, it was sounding like he was going to have to give up a huge part of business negotiations he knew worked.

He stood and quietly walked away. Honda stayed put, his face burried in his hands, What's he doing? What's he going to do? Kick me out..., Honda listened closely to what was going on behind him; he could hear the small squeak of the chair, then a buzzer from the phone, He's going to have me kicked out!

"Sakura-san..."

"Yes, Kaiba-sama?" it was the small, cute voice of the receptionist, sounding like she and the guard had finally stopped fighting.

"I have an eight-thirty..."

"Yes..."

"Cancel it."

Honda couldn't believe his ears. Obviously neither could Sakura, she began to protest, "But, Kaib..."

"Don't question me! Do it!" he demanded in the voice Honda - and everyone else - was more familiar with; cold, hard and very threatening.

"Y-yes..." she answered sheepishly and hung up.

"K-Kaiba... you... you mean this?", Honda finally stood, but was still facing the door, "You'll give up..."

"Negotiations?" Kaiba wasn't so sure he was all that impressed with the corporate slut remark, "Yes. I mean it."

Honda turned to face him again. He was sitting with his elbows resting on the desk and his hands folded in front of his face. All Honda could see were his peircing blue eyes.

"I... do have to go..." his voice was shaking. He really didn't want to go.

"You aren't leaving mad, are you?" Kaiba stayed hidden, except for his eyes which Honda noticed were welling up. He couldn't take it and marched back to Kaiba's desk. Forcefully he grabbed him up by the collar and kissed him hard.

"No, I'm not mad. I do have to go though. My parents were expecting me home after school, but, I came straight here..."

"I understand. So long as you're not in too much trouble, since I... canceled that... meeting... I will be home early... I'd love for you to..." Honda placed a finger over his lips to hush him.

"Shhh..."

"What...?!"

"Shhh. I'll be there."
