Falling To Pieces

"Well, here we are. Home sweet home... for now anyway..." Honda said as he led Miho in.

"Nice place! Must be Otogi-kun's..."

"How..."

"I've been to everyone elses, remember?" she laughed.

"Oh, right... want anyth..." he started to ask when she reached up and pulled him to the couch next to her, "Uh, "Ribbon"..." he tried to get away, but her grip was firm and determined.

"Something wrong?" she leaned in for a kiss when Honda managed to get away and stand, she landed on her face kissing the cushion, "Honda-kun?"

"I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, I-I just... I..."

"Oh, you've never been with a girl before have you?"

Ah shit!!, "Uh, well, girl... no..."

"??"

"I mean, no! I-I..."

"It's ok! You don't have to be embarassed, I understand..."

"You do...?"

"Yea, I think it's nice someone would want to save themselves..."

"Umm... sure. Yea! Uh, but...", Screw it and go for it you fool!

He took his place next to her and scooped her into his arms, leaning her back and taking her in for the deepest kiss she had ever expierenced.

She felt like jelly, This is a guy who's never been with a girl?!

Honda was so engrossed in kissing her, he hardly noticed her taking his hand. Gingerly she guided it up her top and under her bra.

At first he didn't think anything of it til he began to squeez. Once he realized what it was and what was going on, his eyes shot open and he stopped the kiss.

"Hmm...hmm?" Miho, still with a mouthfull, tried to snap him back.

He pulled his hand from her blouse and jumped back, "Oh gods! I-I can't..."

"Honda-kun, it's alright!" she assured him, "It's all part of the whole make-out thing, I promise!"

"No, no I just..."

"Afriad Otogi-kun will walk in on us?"

What?!, "Uh, yea, that's it..."

"Show me your room?" she stood and took his hand to pull him up, "I bet he wouldn't bother us there..."

Persistant! Geez... and I'm fighting this?! Moron!, "O-ok..."

He opened the door for her and flipped the switch.

"Here ya go..."

She walked passed him and headed right to the bed to have a seat.

"Come on..." she said as she patted the empty space next to her, "I promise I won't bite..."

Promises, promises..., "Look," he started, taking the seat next to her, "I want to, really, but... have you heard anything, well, weird in school..."

"Huh? About what?"

"Me... things... K... things..."

"No, I don't think so..."

"Just making sure... um, have you... well, ever been with anyone... oh, man I'm sorry! What a jerk asking you..."

"No, it's ok. I've only been with one. And he was such a jerk!"

"R-really?"

"Yea, big dumb American..." she sighed.

What is it with me attracting people who's first times sucked?!

"Honda-kun?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry..."

"If I didn't know any better I'd think there were two of you too..."

"Ha, yea! Sorry, I..." before he could finish, Miho had him pinned to the bed and decided to finish the kiss from earlier, Don't fight it! Don't fight it! he thought to himself, "Gods you're pushy!" Honda laughed.

"Yea, well, what did you expect...?!"

"?!"

"How long did you think I was going to wait?!" she giggled until she noticed Honda's smile and laughter had stopped, "You ok?"

"W-what did you say?"

"Honda-kun..."

Gods, that's what Kaiba said when he almost... NO! Forget it! That was months ago!, "I-I'm sorry..." he said, pulling her back down, "Where were we?"

"Right about here," she said, unsipping his pants as he unbuttoned her blouse, "Wow! You've been holding out on a lot of girls you selfish..."

"Huh?! Oh, shit, "Ribbon"!" he blushed and pulled her back down for another kiss, only instead of getting tongue, he got a mouthfull of breast.

Miho had positioned herself just right to land right into his mouth.

"Hmmm, oh yes..." she moaned, as Honda tried to at least pretend to know what he was doing with it.

He had practically the whole breast in his mouth; flicking his tongue around the nipple, firmly girpping it with one hand, massaging it as he sucked.

As one thing led to another, it was as if they couldn't control themselves, they became entwined under the sheets. Honda could only guess he was doing right by Miho's reactions.

"Are...you sure... you've... never... been... with a girl?" she panted as she came.

"Yea, pretty sure...", Kaiba may be very feminine, but he was definatly a "he"! he chuckled to himself.

"Well, I'm glad I'm your first! I missed you!" she snuggled into his chest and held him tight.

"Uh, yea... my first..." he tried to smile, but he couldn't. This should have been magical; his first time with a girl, but it wasn't. There was something missing. Something not right.

He tried to convince himself the feeling was of guilt for "lying" to Miho, but he wasn't lying; she asked if he had been with girls.

But her having been his first was a lie, Here I go again! Starting off a relationship with a lie! Wait! Relation... ship? No! I can't!

He rolled off the bed and hastily began to dress, I can't do this! I-I'm... NO!

"Honda-kun?! What's wrong?!" she asked with a face full of her clothes.

"I'm so so sorry, "Ribbon"! I just don't feel right!"

"What?! Honda-kun, it's alright! Relax! You were great! I still can't believe you've never been with..."

"Well, I read a lot..." he said sarcastically, though he didn't mean to.

"Fine! Just like that dumb American! I thought you'd be different!"

He stopped and took a deep breath. He really didn't want to hurt her, he did like her, just not the way she wanted him to; he missed Kaiba.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me!" he said, trying to play his attitude off as a nervous twitch, "Look, this was great and I'm... I'm glad it was... with you." he choked.

"Ok... you scared me there for a minute!" she exclaimed as she threw her sweater on and jumped into Honda's arms for a hug, "Oh, I did get a dress for the dance!"

"Oh... great...", Shit!

"I better go, it's getting near dinner and I didn't tell my parents I'd be out after school," she tiptoed up and planted a sweet kiss on his cheek, "Later!" she called as she bounded out the bedroom.

"Yea, later... SHIT!"

Otogi was just about finished making his dinner when the sound of thumping down his stairs startled him.

"What the... Miho?!"

"Oh! Otogi-kun! N-nice to see you..." she said nearly losing her balance on the last step.

Otogi quickly ran to catch her, "Careful... oh..."

"Oh? Um, what..."

"Your sweater..."

"Yea?"

"It's inside out." he quickly turned, thinking she would change it, instead she ran out the door to make it home on time.

"What's inside out?" Honda had snuck down the stairs, just missing Miho before she ran out.

"Geez! Wanna give me a heart attack, you dog!"

"Dog?!"

"Soooooo?"

"Soooooo?" he imitated.

"Her sweater..."

"What?"

"That's what was inside out!"

*sweat drop* "Oh..."

Kaiba stood outside his ojiisan's room, afraid of what he would find when he went in.

PLease, please! I never told you! I need a chance, please!

Reluctantly he turned the knob and let himself in.

His ojiisan was hooked to several machines, one helping him to breath.

Kaiba quickly shut his eyes; this was not how he wanted to remember his and Mokuba's only relative to give a damn about them.

Mokuba?! What will I tell Mokuba?!

"Wh-who's... there?" ojiisan asked weakly, "D-doc... docto..."

"N-no, it's me, ojiisan, Seto." he said, taking a seat next to the bed.

"Oh, S-S...Seto! H-hav... have a... sea..."

"I'm already sitting, ojiisan," he smiled, "The doctor's taking good care of you?"

"Y-yes... yes..."

It pained Kaiba to hear and see him struggle to speak and breath and he fought back the urge to cry, I need to stay strong for him... and Mokuba..., "Good. Maybe I'll be able to take you home in a few days?"

"Oh... oh, S-Set... Seto, I-I'm... not... coming... home..."

"Stop!" he finally burst. His speaking as though this were truely it unleashed Kaiba's emotions and he lost it, "This isn't it! You are not that old!"

"S-Seto... re-really... now..."

"Unless you were already, like, fifty when you had my father!"

"Y-yes... yes... I-I was..."

"?!?!"

"Th-the...there was a... good... fi-fifteen... years between y-your fa-father... and un-uncle..."

"What?! So you did know I knew?!"

"Y-yes..."

"Why didn't you say..."

"F-for the... same... reason you... ne-never said... any-anything..."

"I was trying to protect you. I was afraid someone would try and take you..."

"I-I... know..." he smiled.

Kaiba calmed down and took his seat. He clentched his ojiisan's hands in his own and rested his chin on them.

"I wanted to tell you, and Mokuba, for a long time. I'm sorry. Mokuba will probably never forgive me for not telling him..." Kaiba waited for a resopnse, when he wasn't getting one, he continued, "I should be used to people not forgiving me; I really messed things up with Hiroto, but I'm sure Mokuba already told you that..." he waited again.

Nothing

"You're gone, aren't you?" he said softly, "You're gone."

He rested the old man's hands on his chest and quietly turned to leave; unable to look back.

When he opened the door, the doctor was sitting on a bench outside the room waiting.

As he and Kaiba passed, Kaiba grabbed him aside.

"He better have been comfortable." he warned, the thought of how and what to tell Mokuba stinging him the whole way home.
