What am I going to do?! How... why?!

Honda couldn't help feeling sick. He enjoyed everything about the night before. He didn't want to, but he couldn't help it. He had never felt so good, so alive.

All he just let Kaiba, Kaiba Seto, do to him should have felt like total violation and invasion.

But it didn't.

Why?! Why?! kept spinning in his head as he splashed water into his face while trying to slap sense into himself.

"Hiroto? You alright?" His mother's voice broke the chain of thought, just making him sicker.

He told her! I know he did! Shit, dad!

"Hiroto, please? Are you..." he threw the door open and slipped quickly passed her toward his room.

"I'm fine now, mom. Really. I just need to rest." he said as he shut the door before she could make it to him.

"Your father told me..." she called through the door, "It's ok ,really! You don't have to be ashamed!"

"...?!"

"Hiroto? Plea..."

"Ashamed?!" he called back, I'm mortified! But... I think I...I...

"It's ok. Please come out! Talk to us?"

"No!" came out a little sharper than he meant for it to, but he really just wanted to be left alone.

"Ok. You know where to find us..." his sharp tone had thrown her off, so she decided it best to just leave him be, He still has being grounded on his mind too. That can't be helping any either.

She was just about to walk away when the door slowly opened.

"Sorry. I didn't mean... sorry."

"We're fine, honey. Really. You just rest up."

"Thank you." he said as he hugged her then slumped back into his room.


"Nii-sama! Going to see Honda?"

"No. Going to the office. I have catching up to do..."

"Seeing him later?"

"I doubt it... why so anxious all of the sudden anyway?"

"You wanted me to appologize to him, right?"

"Right. Nice gesture, but I think the only way I will be seeing him for a while will be in school..."

"Why's that?"

"He was already in trouble before. He broke curfew lastnight. I admit, I have no clue, but I have a feeling it isn't a good thing to do."

"How are you going to do this anyway?"

"Do what?"

"School! I mean, how are you going to get around Yugi, Jounouchi and..."

"Damn it!!" he hadn't thought about school. Jounouchi was enough, as far as Honda was concerned for now. Of course, would Jounouchi have already said anything to the others by now?

"What's wrong? You look sick!"

"Jounouchi knows..."

"That's right! You said you asked his..."

*sweat drop* "Please don't remind me!"

"I'm sorry..."

"Hiroto isn't ready for anyone else to know, and I will have to respect that I guess."

"So you're just going to ignore him?"

"I'll worry about it when the time comes." he said quickly as he rushed out.


The time came quickly.

He didn't want to ignore Honda for fear of loosing his interest.

He'll understand. He's the one who said Jounouchi is enough. If I pay any sort of attention to him... get it together Seto! Just go!

It was difficult; seeing Honda with the others playing it cool like nothing had happened, not even looking in Kaiba's direction.

Or so that's what Honda wanted people to think.

He kept his eyes on Kaiba the whole time while trying to look interested in whatever Anzu was going on about at the moment.

"Honda-kun? Are you okay?"

"Wh-what?" He wasn't expecting to be "quized" on what she had just said either, "Anzu asked you a question, Honda-kun."

"Uh, yea, sorry, I guess I was just..." he glanced at her ever present annoyed look. Shit! She can be a pain!

"Honda here just isn't feeling like himself right now, are ya buddy?" Jounouchi jumped in. Honda wasn't sure if he wanted to thank him or deck him.

"Right, not feeling too good..."

"Goes and gets himself grounded! And right before a da..." Honda quickly grabbed him by the collar and, bringing his bewildered friend face to face.

"We already established I'm not feeling well..." he groweled through his teeth, "Icsne on the atene!"

"Atene?" Anzu's ears perked up, "Honda! You had a date?!"

"Shit!! Yea! I did! Okay!? And how did you know about it anyway, Jounouchi?!"

*Blank stares/blink blink*

"Uh, I called you to make sure..." judging from Honda's reaction, he already knew why Jounouchi may have called, "Hey! Didn't you say you weren't feeling well? Maybe you ought to go to the bathroom or classroom or something to relax?" he said, pointing in the direction Kaiba had gone.

For once he's right! Why didn't Kaiba say anything to me? Or even Yugi? He didn't even... damn it!

"Honda-kun? You really do look sick..."

"Later!" he called over his shoulder, taking off before Yugi could even finish his sentence.

"So what about this date, Jounouchi-kun?"

"Yea, Jounouchi! Who was it with?!"

*Sweat drop* For the love of the Gods! Me and my big mouth! Get me outta here!


There was still roughly fifteen minutes left before class. Enough time to find Kaiba.

Where does he go? Library? Caffet... no way he would go there! Library it is!

He made it just half way when a familiar voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Looking for me I hope."

"Yea. Why didn't you..."

"You said Jounouchi knowing is enough, so I thought it would be for the best if I just walked by."

"I did say that, didn't I?"

"It wasn't easy I'll have you know." The hallway was deserted and it was becoming too much for Kaiba to take that they were still ten feet apart.

He rushed in for a hug then qickly let go and walked away just as other students entered.

"Set... Kaiba! Wait!" he called after him. Looking around, it didn't seem as if anyone cared the two talked, even though the rumors of Jounouchi being with Kaiba were still strong.

"What? Class is going to..."

"Well, I at least wanted to let you know I am grounded..."

"...?"

"Two weeks. I-I guess that means this will be the only time we will be seeing eachother for a while and..."

"I didn't see your bike."

"Yea, my dad took the keys. Mai and Jounouchi brought me."

"May I take you home?"

"T-that would be... well... I..."

"You don't like limos, do you?"

"Well, my first experience with one, well, it was a funeral and I guess..." Kaiba leaned in, almost as if for a kiss. Honda tried to jump back, but was stopped by the lockers.

"This ride will be no funeral, Hiroto-chan." he whispered.

"W-what will I tell Mai...?"

"Anything you want." he said as he walked away, then added just before entering his class, "See you at three then?"

"Y-yea.", He obviously doesn't care who knows! So then why should I? For the Gods sake my parents know! Besides, this could be the perfect way to get Jounouchi!, "Yea, Seto-chan. See you at three."


Honda tried to ignore Jounouchi, but he made it as difficult as possible.

He sat right next to Honda with his elbow on his desk. Resting his chin in his hand and just smiling.

"Got a problem, Jou?"

"No. Why?"

"Hurt much?"

"Hurt?" before Jounouchi could move, Honda swiftly smacked his elbow off his desk sending his friend's chin to meet it.

"What the hell was that for?!"

"I thought it would be funny." Honda answered cooly.

"And?!"

"It was hilarious. I know you want to ask me about the date so just ask!"

"Well, ok... details!" he sat up and clapped his hands like a little school girl, or he was mocking Anzu and Mai.

*Sweat drop* "You really don't want details."

"Oh? OH! No... NO!"

"Yup."

"NNOOO! Not possible!!!"

"Very possible."

"Uh, sensei! I feel sick! I need to..."

"Go Katsuya! Go!" the teacher cried, not wanting to have to clean up a possible mess.

Dumbass! Told you you didn't want to know!


After school Honda met everyone in the usual place for Mai to pick them up.

Play it cool and just wait! he thought to himself.

"You know something? You got this evil look in your eye! What's on your mind?" Jounouchi asked, still a little miffed about the "Chin, meet Desk" thing.

"Ah! Just wait!"

At just about the same time Mai pulled up, so did the Kaiba Corp limo. As the others boared Mai's car, Honda smoothly made his way toward the limo.

"Honda-kun?! Matte!"

"Honda?! What are you doing?! Get back here!" Anzu pleaded.

Jounouchi was at a loss, Damn it! I know what he's doing! You bastard, Honda!, the others must have noticed his look of guilt, anger and disgust. Not to mention, now he had no choice but to explain why Kaiba was being nice to him.

Just as Honda was about to enter the limo, his hand graciously taken by Kaiba Seto himself, he called back, "No worries! Jounouchi will explain everything! Won't ya, pal?"

"Shit! You asshole! Honda!!" he tried to make a run for the limo as it pulled away, instead he found himself thrown into the backseat and nailed to it by curious and confused glares. Kill me now!


"That wasn't very nice leaving him like that was it?" Kaiba asked, looking out the back window toward all the scuffling as Jounouchi tried to escape everyones wrath of "Whys?" and "How could yous?"

"D-do y-you... do you care?" he choked through his laughter.

"No. Not at all really."

"Ok, so you said this ride would be no fun..." he found himself pleasenlty interrupted as Kaiba scooped him up into his arms and kissed him hard.

He's so... good... his lips weren't quite as sweet this time, but Honda only guessed it was because Kaiba wasn't going to drink wine before school. That didn't matter though. It was still just as powerful and breath taking as the day before.

"I'm sorry..." Kaiba said softly as he let go.

"Why? Why would you be..."

"I just felt robbed I guess."

"Robbed? Of what?"

"Our good night kiss."

"Oh, right. Mokuba. How did it go with him anyway?"

"He's fine. He just wanted to make sure what he was seeing was real. And that I'm happy."

"So it was just a test?"

"Yes. He wants to appologize..."

"He doesn't have to. I understand. All he's ever wanted was for you to be happy."

"...!"

"Don't look all surprised at me like that! We all could see it! And he's told us..."

"Told you what? When?"

"How you're not such a bad guy. That all he wants is his nii-sama back and for every one to see what he sees in you. And as for when; every chance he got."

"I... I know... he's told me too. I wish... I..." he turned away to look out the window. He knew all this, and he wished he could change it all and take everything back.

Honda took him by the shoulder and pulled him in to hold him, "It's ok if you cry, ya know."

"Thank you. I'm sorry..."

"Hey, here's to hoping these next two weeks go by quick!"

"Go by too quickly, you get your bike back and..."

"And I'll still let you take me home, and think about it, these next two weeks go by, and we'll be able to see eachother more than these ten minute rides to my house!"

"You do have a good point there!"

"Yea, and we're here. Guess I'll be seeing you around sch..." again he found himself wrapped in his lover's arms for another deep kiss.

"I refuse to be robbed of anymore "good night" or "good bye" kisses from now on!"

"Y-y-yea! L-later!" he could barely stand as he watched the limo pull away. How does he do it?!
