The Prince and His Pauper
Part 5

~*~*~*~

Jounouchi can’t say he’s surprised when Seto shows up to work an hour early. The brunet is always in class before everyone else, so it only stands to follow. The blond has to keep himself from drooling in the other’s teen’s presence. He’s wearing that Italian suit again and it’s doing all kinds of things to Jounouchi’s libido.

The young corporate owner shows his classmate around the labs he will be working in and introduces him as the head R&D guy in a branch company to the rest of the team working on the holo-system. The brunet greets them with a smooth, cool tone. He knew it was too much to hope for Seto to be warm and sociable.

“Kaiba-san has graciously agreed to assist us in getting the system out ahead of schedule and will be here for a month. I want everyone to get along and concentrate fully on the project. For now, I’m going to catch Kaiba-san up on what we have so far, so you guys can get back to doing what you were doing.”

Seto takes note that the atmosphere is relaxed while holding onto its professionalism. He figures it has to do with the blond’s own relaxed nature. As long as everyone does his or her job and stays out of his way, he doesn’t really care. He follows Jounouchi to the lab’s office where he pulls out various blueprints and schematics. “You came up with all of these?”
“More or less.”
“Impressive. I didn’t think you were that intelligent.”
“Geez, everyone says that.” Jounouchi sulks a bit and takes a seat behind his desk on a plush chair.
“It’s your own fault,” Seto says while looking everything over in detail.
“How do you figure that?”
“It’s your attitude, how you hold yourself, your speech patterns. They all point to,” he paused, trying to think of a diplomatic term he could use. The blond IS his boss for the time being. “Not in the upper echelon.” Jounouchi huffs and sinks into his chair.

“So what do you think so far?”
“Ingenious on the rudimentary levels, but I can see where all of the flaws are.” Golden-brown eyes open wide.
“You can? You’re not pulling my leg?” Seto snorts.
“Why would I bother doing that? Show me to one of the units you have and I’ll demonstrate what it is I mean. Then I need the programming you’ve been developing.”
“Shit, you really are a genius!”
“So I’ve been told. Come on, mutt, we don’t have all day. We still have to go to school.”
“You’ve got to be joking!” But one glance into artic blues tells him otherwise. “You’re totally serious about still going to school... You are insane.” Jounouchi sighs and uses the intercom to order that his uniform be brought down to the lab.

“Okay, Seto, before I let you start the real work there’s one thing I need from you.” Seto raises one perfect brow.
“And that would be?”
“To stop calling me mutt or mongrel, and anything else derogatory. I promise to do the same for you, alright?”
“I suppose I can hold to that.” The blond smiles.
“I’m glad we understand each other!”
“Let’s stop wasting time, pup.”
“Dammit, Seto!”

“Morning, guys!” Jounouchi greets his friends as he enters the classroom with Seto. The brunet goes straight to his seat and gets out his first period book.
“Jou-kun, we didn’t expect to see you,” Yugi says in pleasant surprise. The blond takes his usual seat in the middle of his friends.
“Yeah, well, Seto said we had no excuse to miss it.”

“What’s it like working with him?” Miho asks.
“Not too bad. He’s somewhat a control freak, but I’ve dealt with worse. And, well, I hate to admit it, but he wasn’t kidding about being some kind of super genius. He could probably build the holo-system in a garage.”
“Seriously? Then why the hell is he still here?” questions Honda.
“He can’t afford any other schooling. He has to take care of his brother, remember?”

“Are you going to hire him?”
“Huh?” Jounouchi stares at his diminutive friend.
“He’s really smart, right? And you’re the boss, so you can hire whoever you want, regardless of schooling achievements.” For several moments Jounouchi wonders if Yugi is also a genius.
“I don’t know if he would go for it...but I could breach the topic once the month is up.” Yugi smiles.
“Good. I bet it would be nice having someone around your own age at work.”

The school bell rings, forcing everyone to hurry to their seats. Jounouchi groans as he realizes he’s going to have to take that test after all.

Seto meets back up with Jounouchi at Katsuya Corps. after he stops off at his house to take care of Mokuba. The boy knows how to self-medicate, but it’s easier when Seto does it for him. The brunet gets back to work right where he stopped that morning like he had never left. Jounouchi finds it amazing how Seto can write in code like it’s his first language.

“Are you just going to watch?” Seto’s words break the blond out of his trance.
“Sorry. Even the guys here who have been working code for twenty years don’t do it that fast.”
“I have a knack for it,” Seto said like it wasn’t anything special.

Jounouchi goes back to Seto-watching, admiring how the lab coat looks on the teen. Of course, a burlap sack would probably look good on him too. Hell, even a golfing outfit would look good on him and those things are hideous! Seto pauses in his programming and glances over his shoulder at his ‘boss’. He releases a short sigh and walks over to him. Jounouchi’s sure that the brunet is about to give him a yelling, and he will deserve it for slacking off. But instead, Seto lowers down to his knees and unzips Jounouchi’s pants.

“Seto?!” The blond bites his lip as his cock is freed and firmly stroked.
“This is what you want, isn’t it? It’s already hard.” Seto sucks on the side of the shaft, making Jounouchi quiver.
“God...” The blond buries his hands in Seto’s hair, face flushed. They’re alone in this section of the lab, but if one of the others comes looking for him, the eyeful that person will get!

Seto pulls his full length into his throat, sucking and humming, trying to get him off quick. Jounouchi lifts away one hand to bite his palm in order to keep quiet. Seto works him harder.
Soon enough, the brunet is swallowing the blond’s cum, not missing a drop.

Jounouchi pants and wipes sweat and hair from his eyes. “You didn’t have to do that...” Seto stands and brushes off his pants.
“I wanted to.” He returns to the computer, back to writing code once again.


By the end of the first week, they are able to see the vast improvements in the first testing stage for the holo-system. The creatures are just stick figures, but they move and react like they are supposed to. They jump and block, dodge and attack, they wave their wings, tails, and other things. Next they have to work out the glitches in the second stage where basic skins and weapon models are added in.

“Good job, everyone!” Jounouchi is always sure to congratulate his workers on a job well done. He even gives surprise bonuses when he thinks they’re deserved. The lab team members praise and pat each other on the back. A few are even brave enough to approach Seto, the one they know is who made all of the difference. Seto manages a few polite thank yous, which is a lot for him.

Jounouchi glances to his expensive name brand watch. “It’s already getting late, so how about everybody take the rest of the night off and we’ll start fresh in the morning?” He grins at the positive reactions of calling it an early evening and bids his employees goodnight. “Ready to go, Seto? I’ll drop you off at your place if you didn’t come by car. Huh? What is it?” It seems he caught the brunet staring. Seto looks away like it was nothing.
“You’re a good puppy.” Jounouchi scowls.
“Will you stop calling me that?”
“I think it suits you.” And that’s the end of the matter as far as the brunet is concerned. “Don’t worry about me, I’ll walk home.” He hangs up his lab coat in his designated locker and slips on his suit jacket.
“I’m not letting you walk home at this hour, Seto.”
“It’s not like I haven’t done it millions of times before. Go home to your family and gets some sleep.”

Jounouchi is already angry from the continuing dog jokes, as ‘soft’ as they’ve gotten, but he can’t in good conscious let the other teen walk home after dark. Seto has to pass through the red-light district to get home, so anything can happen between here and there! He lets Seto get a head start on him then follows the other male in his car with the lights off.

~*~*~*~

Seto takes deep breaths of the cool air. It’s been a while since he’s been able to walk alone like this and he’s found that he’s missed it. There’s something to be said for late night walks under the moon and stars. He snorts to himself. “When did I become a romantic?” He chalks it up to being tired and quickens his step.

Up ahead he notices a familiar silhouette, but can’t place who it is at the moment. “Ah, Seth. There you are.”
“I’m not working tonight, Goro.” Goro was one of his regulars when he walked the street. In fact, it was a session with Goro where Jounouchi interrupted and took him home instead.
“Come on, Seth,” the man manages to urge without begging, his tone smooth as a rose petal. He pulls Seto close to him when the brunet is close enough. His breath is sweet from wine. “I’ve been looking for you all night. Ten-thousand for a quickie, okay?” The man cups Seto’s balls through his suit pants, wringing a small gasp from the teen.

Then bright lights flood the area, blinding them both for a few seconds. “Get the fuck off him,” Jounouchi growls. Goro scowls.
“Is that where you’ve been, Seth? Did you get a sugar daddy?” Seto releases an annoyed breath.
“Apparently.”

“I said get the fuck off him!” Jounouchi orders once more. “Don’t make me come over there to kick your ass!” Goro bares his teeth and glares at the blond.
“Go the hell away, you little brat. We’re performing a business transaction here.”

Jounouchi really does look like he’s going to jump out of the car to take the bigger man on. Seto mentally curses at himself and places his body between the two. “Mutt, stay where you are. Goro, follow me.” Without waiting for a reply from either, he pulls Goro deeper into the alley where the light doesn’t reach.

The blond rolls up the windows and grips the steering wheel so hard he thinks he hears it cracking. He can imagine what Seto is doing with that no good jerk! The brunet is probably on his knees right now, sucking him off just as he had done for him not long ago.

By the time Seto comes back, the blond is seething. Steam can almost be seen coming from his head. Seto sighs and climbs into the car, resting an arm on the window frame. “There’s no point getting jealous over me. I don’t belong to anyone.”
“Dammit! Why do you treat yourself like that?!”
“Be—oof!” The blond lunges from his seat and right onto Seto, catching the brunet by surprise. “Jounouchi?!” In one motion, Jounouchi pulls the seat adjuster and pins Seto on his back. Jealous passion fuels the blond’s kiss, stealing Seto’s breath and strength.

The blond opens Seto’s shirt, biting and sucking on the exposed flesh, leaving his mark as much as he can. Seto’s breath hitches as he arches under him. He’s never seen Jounouchi this aggressive even in a fistfight; it’s a side of the blond that’s he’s never been privy to. He feels his pants become unfasten before they’re jerked down. He hears a faint rip as the expensive material is torn. But he doesn’t have time to complain before Jounouchi is assaulting him with his tongue again, then the fair teen is shifting around until his own pants are open and he’s between Seto’s legs.

Seto doesn’t try to stop Jounouchi’s madness. He’s pre-lubricated so isn’t worried about tearing like his poor pants, and his own dick is throbbing with need now. He raises his hips, making it easier for the other when Jounouchi slams into him. The blond’s cock penetrates deep inside, forcing a cry to escape Seto’s throat.

Jounouchi takes him hard and fast, his shaft touching everywhere within the blue-eyed teen. Seto grabs fistfuls of Jounouchi’s trench coat, holding on tight as he’s fucked like a wild animal. The heat from their bodies fogs up the car windows, the whole frame shakes with every powerful buck of the angry blond’s hips.

Finally the dam inside of Seto snaps and he cums with a hoarse shout. “Ahn!” He arches tight like a bow and sprays his seed between them, painting his chest and stomach white.
“Seto!” Jounouchi climaxes right behind him, sinking himself in deep when he does, coating Seto’s insides with a hot wave of his seed.

The teens collapse, panting and gasping for air. After several minutes, Jounouchi lifts himself off and sits back in the driver’s seat. He’s silent as Seto cleans himself up with a box of tissues that his mother insists he keep in the car. The brunet doesn’t say anything when Jounouchi drives him back to his house.

“Oh God, I’m sorry,” Jounouchi croaks out. He doesn’t see Seto raise a brow in question because his head is bowed against the steering wheel. “I can’t believe I—What have I done?”
“You didn’t do anything wrong, except sex in a public area.”
“What the fuck?! But I—”
“It wasn’t rape. I let you do it.” Jounouchi looks up at him, eyes brimming with tears of shame and regret.
“Why?” Seto reaches over and wipes a tear from the blond’s eye with his thumb.
“I wanted to.” Seto slides out of the car and goes inside. He’s glad that Mokuba would have gone to bed long ago. He heads straight to his shower, but the warmth in the water can’t compare to the odd warmth in his chest. He’s never had anyone jealous over him before. It’s strange how appealing it is.

Jounouchi manages to recompose himself enough to drive back to the manor. He’s still horrified at his inexcusable actions, but relieved that Seto had for some reason wanted the advances. “God I’m a lucky asshole. I should burn in hell.” He glances down then to the passenger side and realizes he will, without doubt, see hell in the morning when the maid finds out what he did to his clothes let alone the car seat.
