Pairing: Seto/Jou, Yami+Yugi
Beta: JennieB. - Too good to be true.
Chapter sixHe finished signing all the memos his assistant had given to him and and then leaned back against his leather chair with a sigh. His employees really were lost causes without him; it was ridiculous! He watched Jou leave the room with all those memos, and then turned his chair to look at the view his window gave him.
Two days ago, they had been ‘rescued’ after their little problem with his jet. Looking back on it, he had all the reasons in the world to be really pissed about what had happened. But instead of that, he had let it pass; an action that had surprised a lot of people – but not one person.
“Mr. Kaiba, the memos have been delivered,” said a voice as its owner entered the office.
He turned his chair from the window to look at the person in front of him. “Good. Do we have anything else to take care of?”
“From work? Everything is done for the day,” answered the blond.
“Good,” Seto said as he got up from his chair and went to the other, hugging him and then kissing the blond deeply.
Jou responded with equal fervor, gluing his body against the other and feeling deliriously happy. They parted after a few minutes, and the blond giggled. “You will get us in trouble if someone walks through the door.”
“As you said, we are done for the day,” Seto said arrogantly. “What do I do in my free time is none of their concern.”
“This is so typically you,” said Jou, the smile never leaving his face.
“Well, what can I say?” said Seto with a shrug. “It's not something that I can change all that easily.”
“And I don’t want you to,” Jou replied firmly as he caressed through the auburn locks.
They kissed again, melding their bodies together, yet knowing that they weren’t going to take things any further – not in the office, anyway. Still, both appreciated the touches. After some minutes, they drew apart, breathing heavily.
“So…you said you were taking me somewhere today. Where are we going?” Jou asked as he tilted his head in curiosity.
“I heard from a reliable source that, contrary to public belief, you like jazz music,” the young CEO began as they left the office and entered the elevator.
“Yugi was the one who told you, wasn't it?” laughed Jou. “Yeah, I’m an eclectic guy. Why; are we going to some jazz club?”
Seto smiled and pulled out a pair of tickets from the inside pocket of his coat. He waved them in front of the blond before he gave them to him. “Norah Jones is performing tonight in a very private outdoor cafe.”
“Oh my God, you didn’t…” gasped Jou as he held the tickets. “You did! How can I ever thank you Seto?”
“I can think of a few ways…” answered the young CEO with a wink.
The blond smirked and pressed him against the wall, but only after he had pushed the ‘stop’ button.

He was in heaven. What he had done for God to grant him such a gift, he didn’t know, but he wasn’t going to complain. Not for a moment. It was eleven o’clock, and the show was about to start. The brunette had surprised him in many different ways over the course of the night. First, he had picked him up at his apartment in his white limo, which had then taken them to the ‘Soul and Blues’ cafe. They had reservations at one of the tables on the patio, very close to the stage where the singer would perform. They had shared a delicious meal together, sitting with their chairs very close to one another. But what had most surprised the blond was that Seto was displaying his affection for him in public. The brunette had hugged him the whole night, and once in a while, he would steal a kiss – some of them long and deep. The blond knew that everybody had recognized the young CEO from the moment they had entered the cafe. But Seto didn’t seem to care that the world knew what was happening between them, and that filled him with happiness.
The singer came on stage and they stood up to applaud her, as did everyone else. Seto hugged him from behind, and kissed his ear lovingly, before he whispered, “I want this night to be very special.”
“Even more than it is?” the blond replied with a smile.
“Yeah. This is nothing if it isn't for the person I love.”
Jou froze on the spot. Love? Did that mean that the young CEO loved him? Things had happened so fast that they hadn't really had the time to discuss their new relationship as of yet.
“Jou, what’s wrong?”
The blond awoke from his stupor and noticed that he was now facing the brunette instead of the stage. The mellow sound filled the air, mixing with the warm summer wind and enveloping them both. He smiled and stood on his tiptoes to kiss the brunette. “Seto…I love you too.”
The young CEO blinked at both the kiss and the confession. After a few seconds, he smiled the brilliant smile that until then only Mokuba had witnessed. It was the true smile of Seto Kaiba. He hugged the blond around the waist and whispered confidentially, “Do you want to dance with me?”
Jou only nodded, his words failing him. The brunette led him to an open area of the café where other couples were already dancing. Their bodies started to swing gently to the rhythm of the singer’s voice. The blond sighed and rested his head against Seto’s shoulder. He couldn’t ask for anything else. His life now was truly perfect.

He looked down at the watch on his wrist. It was almost midnight. He just hoped that the other would show up like they had agreed. He looked up at the sky; it was clear and full of stars. He liked summer nights; they were the best to fly, in his opinion.
“Freddie?”
The redhead looked over at the newcomer, obviously startled. He put a hand on his heart out of reflex, as if checking his pulse. “Jesus, you almost gave me a heart attack!”
“Sorry,” the person said, staying in the shadows.
“You are very punctual. Midnight sharp.”
“I was raised like that. Let’s get over with, shall we?”
“Sure,” the redhead shrugged. He opened his bag and the newcomer dropped a package inside of it. He looked at the other and raised his eyebrow.
“You want to count it? There is five hundred there, just like I promised.”
“I believe you. It’s just…” Freddie closed his bag. “Why did you ask me to sabotage your brother’s jet? You didn’t intend to kill him, did you?”
Mokuba smirked the trademark ‘Kaiba’ smirk. “No, I knew that my brother would be able to get out of that situation. All you need to know is that my plan worked just the way I had imagined it. Thanks for your help.”
“Well…I’m going. See ya, Mokie,” Freddie said as he waved goodbye to him before disappearing into the shadows of the place.
The younger Kaiba waved goodbye, and he thought about the constant smile that now graced his brother’s face. It was all thanks to a call he had received from Yami, and their plan for getting Seto and Jou alone. Maybe it hadn't happened in the normal way, but when it came to his brother and the blond, something original was required.
And that was Mokuba’s speciality.
