Shades of the Past

Chapter Six

~*~

A few weeks later, Seto paced his large mansion, his hands in his pocket. He'd been thumbing a small box which presided in his left pocket for the past 3 or 4 days. He hadn't had the nerve to give it to Jounouchi just yet. And besides...tonight was there one month anniversary dating...it was the perfect time.


The door opened and closed, a pleased whistling sound floating through the area. "Seto, 'm home!" Jou called, smiling sunnily as he pulled off his jacket from coming home from working at Yugi's. He glanced around at the spacious mansion. Even if it was just him, Mokuba, Seto and the servants, he considered this place his home, now, and he loved it. He loved Seto and Mokuba even more, they were like the family he missed. Mokuba was like a little brother to him, and Seto...well, it wasn't any surprise that Sugoraku Mutoh had to hit him over the head with a broom several times to bring him out of his daydreams. He blushed. Dreaming about hot sex with Seto was NOT a good thing when you were on the job.

Seto sighed and walked out of the spacious living room toward the front door and ran up to his pup, wrapping his strong arms around him, "Welcome home pup, how was your day?"

Jou purred and nuzzled against him, wrapping his arms around his waist. "Was just fine...but now it's better with you.." he replied softly, smiling up at him.

Seto smiled, "It's going to get better. Con, ln, lets go to that little cafe you love for dinner...I have something I wanna ask--give you..."

Jou cocked his head curiously as his eyes brightened like a little boy that had been promised a treat. "Give me? Dunno what you can give me..but if it involves you and food, I'm there!"

Seto ushered Jounouchi out, wrapping a single arm around his waist.

Jou sighed, leaning against his shoulder as he followed him, his hand wrapping around Seto's as he walked. "The perfect way to end a day.." he murmured, smiling up at him. They turned a corner, and almost ran face first into the last thing he wanted to see. He scowled. "Well, it was.."

Otogi smirked. "Hello to you, too, mutt.." he drawled.

Seto scowled too, "Move." His voice was like ice, cutting through the city, echoing cold malice.


Otogi smirked and rocked on the balls of his feet casually. "No." he replied.

Jou growled. "Otogi, I'm sick of this...I don't *want* you around, can't you get that through your skull?!"

"You leave MY puppy alone, Otogi." Seto growled, nowh arh arms coming to rest around Jou.

"Your puppy?" Otogi snorted and rolled his eyes, dangling the dog tags necklace that he'd snatched from Jou's neck when they had their little session. "My puppy, Seto, and mine alone."

Jou shivered as he saw the dog tags, curling up against Seto. "I'm not yours...I'll never be yours, in ANY life.." he snarled.

"You just back off, Otogi..." Seto snarled, "We're not intimidated by you anymore, and, frankly, I never was."

Otogi snarled, flinging the dog tags at Jou's head, who ducked slightly and then caught them. "You think you always get your way, don't you, Seto? Not this time.."

Seto moved in front of Jou. But, he was at a loss for words. Was what Otogi said true? It did seem he always got what he wanted. And now he out of comebacks.

But Jou had had enough. He moved in front of Seto, growling as he poked a finger into Otogi's chest fiercely. "You listen to me, dice-for-brains.You're NOT gonna get your way, and you're not getting me! Not now, not ever! So stop harrassing me and Seto before I call the cops and tell them what a a*swell* guy the businessman for Dungeon Dice Monsters is."

Otogi paled. If he did that, all his hard work would go down the tubes. "You wouldn't dare. "

"Oh, no? Try me. Keep threatening me, and you'll find out just how serious I am. And another thing..." He fisted his hand and slugged him in the pretty-boy face, sending him staggering backwards. "This is just a little gift to remember to NEVER touch me again!"

Seto grinned at his lover. Quite a gut he'd developed. He wrapped an arm around Jou's waist, again, traveling toward the small cafe, but not before Seto made Otogi's feet slip out from under him.

Jou massaged his knuckles as Otogi yelped and crashed to the ground, nuzzling against Seto. "I feel better, now.." he murmured, smirking.

"Me too..." He steared Jou into the cafe and sat him down, "Okay..." He took a deep breath, his heart quickening andsweat beads beginning to trickle down his brow.

Jou blinked at him in concern as he noted his condition. "Seto, you feeling okay? You don't look so good..."

"Y-yes...fine..." Seto wiped his brow with his sleeve, "I know I've asked you this before...but I think it's time I did ioperoperly..." Seto knelt, on one knee, in front of Jou, receiving some confused stares, some disgusted stares, and some 'oh how cute!' stares. He pulled the box from his pocket.

Jou blinked in confusion at his words and movements, not quite understanding what was happening. However, when Seto went down on one knee, in the classic pose, he forgot to breathe as his heart stopped for a moment, then resumed pounding against his chest as dark eyes widened to saucers. "S...Seto...?!" he managed to squeak, staring. Was...was he doing what he thought he

was doing?! The pose, the box...either Jou was going to wake up from this shocking dream...or he was going to pass out.

Seto cleared his throat.

"Katsuya Jounouchi, I loved you 5000 years ago and I love you now, more then I've ever felt for anyone this way, and I do not want to lose you like I did, then...W-will you marry me?" He opened the box, revealing ring with a red garnet center, though it was not large gem, like most would have though coming from Seto Kaiba.

"I know how much you despise being spoiled with ostentatious things, so I thought..." Seto had a nervous smile on his face.

One small hand fluttered up to the blond's mouth in shock, his eyes looking far too large in his face. 'omigodshe'sproposingomigodshe'sproposingomigodshe'sproposing...' seemed to be the only words running around in his head, and he stared at the ring, then Seto, the ring, Seto, for a few beats of a heartbeat. He knew this would come in the future...but he didn't expect the NEAR future..he blushed furiously, absolutely speechless, then squeaked and dove for the brunette, wrapping his arms around his neck.

Seto blinked and wrapped his own arms around him. He was still nervous, but he considered this a very good sign.

"YesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesofcourseI'llmarryyouwhatkindaidiotdoyoutakemefor?!" Jou's words were at a fast clip, but he had to do that, for fear he would just plain burst into tears, hugging him tightly.

Seto laughed, his grip tightening on the boy, "I don't take you for an idiot, koinu, just the person who's made me the happiest man in the world."

"Seto..." At that, Jou did start to cry, happy tears dripping from shocked, pleased, overwhelmed eyes that gazed up at Seto adoringly. "Seto..." he whispered, his voice failing him as love enveloped him in warmth that coueep eep fires burning forever.

"Happy one month aniversary, pup..." Seto murmured, nuzzling the blonde hair.

He made a little sound of pleasure and hugged him again, nearly tackling him in his enthusiam as he held onto him as if he was afraid to let go, and all this would vanish."Aishteru.." he managed to whisper, closing his eyes again.

"Aishiteru..." Seto whispered back.

Jou drew back after a moment, wiping his eyes, then smacked Seto lightly on the arm. "What are ya waiting for, doofus, I wanna see the ring where it belongs..!" he teased, smiling.

Seto grinned, took the ring out of the box and placed it on his finger(I'm not sure which one XD), and suddenly, the whole cafe burst out in applause.

Jou jumped a little, having forgotten about the people around them, then blushed shyly, gazing down at the ring in awe before sniffling again and tackling him again with a kiss.

Seto kissed him back, a single tear falling from his own eyes.

He wound his arms around the brunette's neck, holding onto him tenderly as fingers twined into his hair. He felt as if he could float away, he was so happy, beyond happy as he cuddled against him.

Seto broke the kiss, taking his fiance's hands and pulling him up.

"Suddenly, I'm hungry...but not for food...let's go home..."

Jou blushed as he got the gist of what he meant, and smiled, nodding as he curled his hands in his. "Sounds like a plan.." he murmured.

Seto squeezed his hand, heading back toward the mansion with him.

He couldn't keep his gaze away from Seto, or the ring. He was still amazed...stupified, more likely. That had been the most romantic, wonderful thing that anyone had ever done for him, and he would make sure he would thank him in every way he could when they got home..he smiled to himself, then nuzzled against him. "Still hungry, though.." he murmured innocently enough."Did you have anything special planned?"

Seto laughed, "Just a casual dinner with my favorite pup..."

He nuzzled him, "But we can have desert first..." He grinned, nibbling on the blonde's earlobe.

"Mmm...." Jou purred, shivering as he leaned against him. His lips curled with a mischievious smile. "Do you still have that chocolate syrup that we had when me and Mokuba had that homemade ice cream sundae craving..?"

"I think so..." Seto murmured, seductively, "Hmm..what could my pup be planning..." His hand traveled downward, squeezing the hot butt his lover had.

Jou gasped lightly, his knees nearly buckling at the touch. He bit back a moan and smiled. "Oh, nothing much...just have a craving for chocolate-covered Seto with..." He grinned saliciously. "....nuts..."

"Mmm, Jou is thinking like a very bad doggy...I might have to punish him..."

Jou laughed softly. "Mmm, you promise?" he purred seductively, rubbing up against him slowly.

Seto gasped lightly, "Ohhh..yes.."

"Then what are we waiting for..?" Jou grinned, then grabbed his hand in his, making hot tracks to the mansion.

Seto followed him, laughing most of the way at his fiance's anticipation.

Once he'd gotten him into the door, closing it after him, Jou pressed him up lightly against the door and leaned up, kissing him fiercely as his hands slid up his chest slowly, purring against him.

Seto purred back, his hands snaking around him, kissing him back with as much force and passion.

Moaning quietly, Jou melted against him, letting the kiss deepen and their tonguesgle gle before pulling away reluctantly, panting lightly. He rose up on tiptoe to kiss his nose, then grinned, pulling him towards the kitchen to grab aforementioned chocolate syrup with a seductive lick of his lips and a sway of his hips. Tonight looked very, very promising..

Seto let his hands rest on his swaying hips, massaging the spot, realizing that Jou was very VERY ticklish there.

Jou squeaked and giggled, jerking in surprise as he leaned against him, pausing at the refrigerator to grab up the syrup--and take a naughty chance to press his backside up against him playfully as he bent slightly before the fridge door, giving a slow grind against him teasingly.

Seto gasped, before grabbing the naught boy by his naughty buttox and giving it a hard squeeze.

Jou moaned softly and arched his back, nearly dropping the bottle as he shuddered, kicked the door closed, and leaned into his hands with a purr.

Seto took the bottle from his hands, his lips traveling down his neck, "Come, love, let's go upstairs and celebrate our aniversary and engagement...properly."

"Mmm...read my mind.." Those dark eyes danced wickedly as he smiled back at him, leaning into his touch eagerly.

Seto pulled Jou up the stairs, setting the chocolate syrup on the bedside table, before kissing him hard, his hand working to get his clothing off.

The blond moaned again, kissing him back just as fiercely as he let the other's hands strip him, his own hands shedding Seto's clothing eagerly.

Seto finished taking Jounouchi's clothing off, depositing him on their bed, before getting on top of him, and kissing him again.

Jou shuddered at the feel of that long, lean body against his, wrapping his arms around his back and kissing him back as he arched slightly into him, feeling his heart race and thrill with pleasure.

Seto's lips found there way down the supple neck, his hands traveling the perfect bof hif his lover.

"Seto.." Jou whimpered softly, arching into each touch as his breath caught. Warmth curled around him, through him, kindled by the warm touch of his lover's lips and his talented hands.

"Mmm..." The brunette's lips traveled down his chest and latched onto a taut nipple.

A squeak left the blond, and he arched his back, leaning into his mouth as he moaned his name, throwing back his head as shudders wracked through his body.

Seto grinned, nibbling on the little nub.

"Oh gods...Seto..." Jou breathed, arching again and pulling him closer, his eyes closing. "Sooo...gooooood..." he moaned out, writhing lightly.

Seto ceased his nibbling, letting his tongue play with the little nub for a minute.

A shaky whimper left the blond, jerking as pleasure shot through him like a rocket, hands sliding up to clutch lightly at his hair.

Seto stopped, again, and moved to the other nub, giving it the same attentions.

Squirming slightly, Jou moaned again and arched, breathing Seto's name as his fingers tangled in his hair, feeling like little electric volts were shooting through his body. "Mmmm...think..you like to...torture me..." he murmured absently as he panted.

"Oh, but I do...my love...I do..." Seto teased, kissing down his stomach.

Jou cried out softly and arched his back. "I...thought so...!" he managed to say before writhing again.

Seto grinned, reaching down and running a single finger up his koinu's shaft.

A low moan rolled through him, and the blond's hips bucked into the touch, breathing his name. "Nnnn.."

"Well...maybe if you beg...like a good little puppy...I'll give you what you want." He loved tormenting his sweet k
J
Jou growled, then decided to turn the tables. A fairly evil smirk curled his lips. "Or maybe I should return the favor..." Using surprise to the best of his advantage, he twisted them around, landing Seto on bottom, himself on top as he grinned.

Seto gasped, and stared up at him, eyes wide in shock and surprise.

Jou beamed at him, then swiped at the bottle of chocolate syrup. "I think it's time for dessert, now.." he murmured, licking his lips.

Seto's eyes immediatly glazed over, "Mmm...sounds good..."

Jou grinned, wiggling his eyebrows as he straddled the brunette's waist, then uncapped the bottle and drizzled sweet chocolate on Seto from his neck to his groin, decorating him artistically. "Mmm...you look good enough to eat..literally.."

Seto's eyes had fallen half shut, but when the cold chocolate was poured on his sensative area, he gasped, bucking.

Jou laughed softly at his reaction, then set the bottle aside and arched his body agilely and started at his neck, laving his tongue along the slim column as he supported his weight with his hands on either side of Seto's body, making sure to not to smear his fun.

Seto moaned, arching his neck, giving him better access.

Jou purred and slid down the smooth skin, lapping the chocolate away and leaving a fiery trail in the process as he headed past his neck and collarbone down his chest with slow, smoothing strokes.

Seth mewled, his hands finding their way to the blonde tendrils, and burying them in it.

Jou shivered in delight at the touch, then trailed his tongue over the strong chest, tracing the muscles and planes before swirling around his nipples, suckling the chocolate and the small buds easily, grazing his tongue against him as he bent his head to pay special attention to those small pearly buds.

Seto whimpered the blonde's name, arching into him, his hands running through the blonde hair, and his head thrown back.

The blond moaned, gaining as much pleasure from this as he was giving to Seto. He teased the nubs of skin to attention, then trailed down his tongue and mouth, following the chocolate trail. He slid down his stomach, dipping his tongue in and out of the drizzled navel as he nipped and suckled at the soft skin, purring against him.

"J-Jou...oh g-gods..." Seto groaned, "P-Please...”

Jou grinned and continued his lazy path, moving slowly, inching his way past his stomach to the one place that had been cod wid with chocolate syrup.

Seto brought in a sharp breath, pleading, "Please...P-please!!"

Another inch..then more..and Jou decided to give Seto relief, sliding down to where he would want him most and taking a lazy lick against him as he savored the taste of chocolate and Seto, purring.

Seto bucked, "J-Jou...!" He writhed under the wonderful pleasure.

"Mmmm..." Jou purred again, his hands sliding down to hold him still as he swirled his tongue around him like a lollipop, suckling and taking him into his mouth easily.

"A-ahhh...!" Seto squeezed his eyes closed, "M-More...!"

Jou's cheeks indented slightly as he gave him what he wanted, his head bobbling slightly as he took in more, cleaning off all the chocolate that had been covering him, and tasting Seto intensely, suckling deep and hard upon him.

Seto's stomach clenched, as he cried out his name, his fingernails digging into his back.

Moaning softly, Jou gave his all to him, working him hard and fast, teeth grazing lightly against him as he nipped gently and dove his head to work him over the edge.

Seto gasped and cried out, being tugged so hard that he snapped, going over the edge in a heartbeat, and pouring everything into his lover's mouth.

Jou shuddered as Seto's sweet taste flooded his mouth, drinking it all down and cleaning him off and sitting back, licking his lips provacatively as he panted, gazing down im. im. "Yum..." he murmured, smiling.


"Wow..." Seto panted, his eyes still glazed in passion, and his mouth agape.

He smiled and leaned over him, pressing his lips to his and letting him taste the sweet mixture of chocolate and himself on his lips as his body rested against his.

Seto moaned, wrapping his arms around the blonde, "You're right...yum..."

Jou blushed lightly, nuzzling him. "Toldja that dessert would be good.." he replied with a wicked grinushiushing his body lightly against his.

"And you were right..." Seto yawned. He'd had such a busy day. Work, preparing, getting the ring, and now this. He just wanted to sleep...

Jou pouted lightly at the yawn. "Awwww....no more fun...?" he asked softly, puppy-dog eyes working full time as he gazed up at him.

"Mmm...as long as you do it...I'm to tired to move, pup, I did alot planning this day for you...”

"Sure I can't...convince you..?" Jou murmured, stroking his fingers along him. "I'm sure there would be a way you wouldn't have t' move..."

Seto 'mmm'ed, "I think....ooh..we can arrange...ah...something."

Jou grinned as he watched his lover rise back to life, literally. "Mmm, I was hoping you'd say that.." he purred, stroking him.

Seto moaned, and began to writhe again.

Jou smiled, then lifted his hand away, letting his body shift against him instead before sliding up and hovering his entrance over the arousal of his lover, smiling seductively down at him.

Seto, for the first time in a long time, looked a bit frightened, "Umm..."

"You didn't wanna move, ne?" Jou purred. He dipped his body to brush against him. "Ride 'em cowboy.." he murmured.

"Ahh..J-Jou..." Seto pushed himself against him.

Jou grinned, then arced his body, biting his lip at the tiny amount of pain that pushed at him as he impaled himself on him, pleasure mixed with him.

"A-ahh..be c-careful...l-love..." Seto, in a rush of pleasure, whispered to his slightly pained lover.

" 'm...okay..." Jou mred,red, arching his back lightly and shifting his body upon him and pressing down against him, taking him into him. His inner walls clenched, giving a soft cry as his head tilted back.

Seto gave a small cry, feeling his lover clench around him.

"Gods.." he whispered, then supported himself, rocking lightly up and down on him. "Seto.." he breathed.

"O..Jo..Jou...ahhh..." Seto couldn't help back rock back into him.

His back arched lightly in pleasure at the sensation, whispering Seto's name as he shivered and moved gracefully upon him, his strokes slow to give himself pleasure and clenching lightly onto the warm strength in him as he moaned.

Seto bit his lip, stifling a loud moan, and began to move in rhythm with the blonde, though he was tired.

"Ahh...!" Jou breathed, arching his back as he rocked back against him, establishing a rhythm of give and take between them as he rocked onto him, then receded. He squeaked when a certain part of was brushed inside him, closing his eyes as he trembled in reaction.

Seto grinned, wriggling his body so he was positioned over the certain spot and he rocked again, hitting it.

The blond cried out at that, rocking back against him as shivers settled over him, his body bucking slightly before he arched again, settling into a higher rhythm as heat tensed his way through his body.

Seto moan, a heat also rising in his own body, another tension growing in his stomach.

A whimper left parted lips as Jou arched sinuously, then began clenching his muscles in earnest around him as his skin flushed. He stammered Seto's name, throwing back his head as the intensity skyrocketed.

Seto quickened the pace, as best he could, seeing as his koinu was on top and hit the spot deep inside him, many more times over, fixed on bringing them both over the edge.

"Seto!!" Jou howled, then arched back against him, his body abruptly bouncing on him like riding a bucking bronco, rising and falling as his body tensed more and more. At one final thrust against that perfect spot, Jou cried out Seto's name and climaxed, releasing that tenseness over them as his inner walls slammed down on the brunette with mindless pleasure.

Seto cried too, being closed over with such force and wrougrought over the edge with the blonde, flooding his insides with his seed.

"Se-Seto.." Jou shuddered, moaning softly as his body slowly came down from its high and slumped against his, panting softly as he closed his eyes.

"Mmm...you are lovely, my future husband..." Seto murmured, his hands stroking his back, softly.

Jou blushed and nuzzled against him, watching the garnet ring glimmer in the light as he lay his hand against his chest. "So are you.." he breathed, pressing a kiss against his neck.

Seto smiled, and yawned again. His eyes drooped slightly, and soon enough, he was completely asleep.

Jou watched him sleep, smiling as he rested his arms against the other's chest, chin resting against them. Fiance..future husband...lover..gods, he was engaged to Seto Kaiba, the most popular and rich CEO in Japan. And he loved little ol' him. He beamed at the thought, wondering what karma had allowed him to love the most wonderful man in the world..twice..fate was good, he thought to himself as he cuddled against him, closing his eyes after a time as well.
