Prologue -- so bare with me, I'm just trying to set it up ^^


-------------------------------------------------------------

The lover's settled into their hotel in the last city of their tour of Europe, Paris.

Honda dropped his bags and headed right for the balcony, which had become a ritual with him.

"Wow! Rome, London, Athens, Madrid, yet none of them compare to this!"

"Yes, Paris is very nice. Also the most romantic city in the world."

Honda wrapped his arms around Kaiba from behind and rested his head on his shoulder as they looked out over the city.

"So that's the Eiffel tower?"

"Yes, and if you think this view is nice, wait til you see it from up there..."

"Can't wait! But," he yawned, "I'm exausted from the trip..."

He flopped back on the huge, soft bed and stretched out.

Kaiba was in agreement, but wasn't about to give up their first night in the most romantic city to sleep just yet.

Just as Honda shut his eyes, Kaiba made a running jump, landing right on top of him.

He sat up and strattled across Honda's torso.

"S-Seto! N-not now! Please!"

"I'm not about to waste our first night here by sleeping," he said as he fought with a stubborn belt, "If I have to take you..."

Having let his guard down while concentrating on the belt, Honda reached around his waist and threw him to the side.

Before Kaiba could even blink, Honda had managed to reverse the roles.

He was incharge now.

He took Kaiba by the chin to be eye to eye and leaned in.

"You listen to me, Kaiba Seto," he said coldly, yet with some play in his tone, "It's late and the trip from London was exausting..."

"If you're trying to intimidate me," he interrupted, "It worked. But you also managed to do something else..." he pushed him back enough he could feel what he was talking about, "You only turned me on more, my master."

"Calling me master will get you everywhere, but you know that too well already..."

Kaiba grinned and nodded.

"You're so cute when you get all intimidated... damn it! I'm not getting any sleep tonight, am I?"

Again, Kaiba grinned and shook his head.

Honda answered the grin with a warm kiss as he slowly and deliberatly undressed him.

"Alright, love, you win."

"Where do you think they are now?" Yugi asked.

"They'll be back in a week, so by now they should be in Paris." Otogi answered.

"So romantic!" Anzu sighed.

"Do you think he, well, I mean the plan..." Shizuka wondered.

"They probably just got there," Jounouchi said, "So I doubt it."

"Yea, Kaiba-kun's probably planned it in some fancy restaraunt..."

"Or the Eiffel tower..." Mai said.

"So romantic!" the girls gasped together.

"Yea, I just can't wait to see Honda's face when they get back..." Jounouchi said.

"That should be something! He's going to freak!" Mai exclaimed.

"I bet he doesn't accept it..." Otogi dared.

"I bet he does! And gladdly!" Jounouchi declared.

"You two morons should know better than to bet like this!" Anzu reminded.

"No, no!" Jounouchi said, "Because this time I'm ganna win fair and square!"

"Ugh, whatever." She muttered.

"It's a shame they can't really, you know..." Shizuka said, "It would be so sweet!"

"Yea, just so long as everyone remember what they are supposed to do..." Yugi said.

"Yea, just play along! This should be fun!" she exclaimed.

"Alright, everyone," Otogi said, "We got one week to get our game faces on, right?"

"Right!"

"Whoa..." Honda mumbled, clinging to the railing from the top of the tower, "Th-this is a little... high..." he gulped.

"Please, you did fine on the Duel Tower..."

"I seem to recall having other issuses on my mind at the time..."

"You mean you had other things scaring you!" he laughed.

"Yea, laugh it up, but the Duel Tower wasn't nearly this high, admit it."

"You're right..."

Kaiba leaned against Honda a bit and placed his hand on his.

Honda couldn't help a few quick side glances around them. It seemed no one noticed or cared these two 'guys' were so 'friendly', so gladly returned to affection by taking him around the waist.

"It is neat up here. You can see everything... Seto?"

Kaiba slipped from his embrace to move for a different view, knowing Honda would follow.

"Seto? Something wrong?"

Still with no response, Kaiba kept moving.

Honda was getting concerned. He knew he hadn't said or done anything; even for the entire three weeks they had been together, not one fight.

So why now act all funny on me unless I did something?!, "Seto, please..."

"Hiroto," he suddenly interrupted, causing Honda to jump out of his skin and worry even more, "I just wanted a different view. Look." he said pointing out over the city.

"Oh, gods," he sighed, gripping his chest, "You scared me there for a minute..." he said looking in the direction of Kaiba's guesture, "Yea, I see what you mean... Seto?!"

When he had looked over, Kaiba had seemed to dissapear again.

A young woman was nodding and looking down at his feet.

He looked down to find, grinning from ear to ear, on one knee, holding a shiny white gold ring, Kaiba; with a hint of sweat.

"I-I know it can never be real, but..."

"Seto?! Are you..." he was suddenly distracted by the roaring applause around them. Cheers and urges in several languages.

"Oui! Oui!"

"Ja!"

"Sí! Opinión sí!"

What in the hell is happening here?!, "I... Seto..."

"I know we could never do this 'legally', but, I would be honored if you would allow me to call you my husband."

The cheers and applause stopped and everyone around them was now leaning in, wanting to get a clear view and hear exactly what Honda would say; not that many would understand everything being said, but a smile and nod were universal, and when Honda did both, the cheers and applause resumed.

"Seto, I have nothing..." Kaiba rached into his pocket to pull out a matching ring, "... for you. You thought of everything, didn't you?" he dropped to one knee and placed the ring on his finger.

"Of course! Besides, you think I would 'tag' you without a way to show I'm yours?"

"Right, but what's with..." he looked around at all the fellow tourists, "I mean, we're..."

"Please, this is Paris! This is why it's the most romantic city! No one cares!" with that, he took him in for a sweet kiss.

The cheers got louder as the kiss went on. Once they had ceased, the cheering began to die down as the crowd dispersed.

Some even wishing them well and congratulating them as they passed.

Each one a different language, so it was left to Kaiba to thank them, and Honda to guess.

"Not one person seemed negative about this..."

"Not one. So want to grab a bite to eat, or ready to head back to the hotel?"

"I'm a little hungry." Kaiba side glanced him, "Ok, I'm starved!"

"This is killing me!" Anzu exclaimed, "He has to have done it by now!"

"I know, and there's no way to call them..." Shizuka said, dissapointed.

"Yea, they left their cell phones with Mokuba..." Mai said.

"We can always call Mokuba." Jounouchi said.

Before he had even finished his sentence, Mai and Anzu were clammering for the phone.

"Hey,hey!" Otogi said, grabbing the phone from their reach, "He could be busy!"

Oh, please don't fight over the phone again! Yugi worried.

Is everyone really for this, Aibou?

Where have you been, Pharaoh?

Thinking. This doesn't seem right...

They aren't going to for real, they can't...

??

How did Kaiba-kun put it? 'It will be in title only. Nothing binding.'

Sounds like Kaiba.

I truely believe they love eachother...

*cringe*

I know, but Honda-kun's our friend, and he's happy...

Alright, Aibou. I trust you.

"Come on, Otogi!" the girls cired, trying to take the phone back, "You want to know just as much as we do!"

"Yea, but Kaiba left Mokuba incharge of Kaiba Corp, so he's probably busy and doesn't need little busy-body school girls bugging him!"

He held the phone up as high as he could, especially with Mai being as tall as him, if not a bit taller.

"Give us the ph..."

"Kaiba Mokuba, please. It's Jounouchi..." haulted the keep-away game, "What?" he answered the confused looks, "Didn't know I had a cell phone too, huh?" he grinned.

"Jounouchi-kun?!"

"Hey, Mokuba! Any word?"

The gang sat back in silence watching Jounouchi's expressions.

"Guess we just have to wait then. Thanks."

"Nothing?" Mai asked.

"Nah, they're coming home in a few days. We'll just have to wait."

Yugi looked paniked at Otogi and the girls; Otogi still had the phone up with Mai dangling from it.

"C-could you all, um, please?"

"Right, sorry Yugi!" Otogi said, haning it up, "Almost forgot..."

He hadn't yet taken his hand off when it rang sending a jolt through him.

"Ah! Gods that scared me! Hello?"

As with Jounouchi, all sat back and watched.

"It's Kaiba!" he said, covering the reciever, "Honda said yes!"

"I knew he'd have to tell us!" Jounouchi said, "This way we can be ready with the surprise when they get back!"

"Yea, don't know why I thought he'd keep us guessing when he wanted our help!" Anzu said, relieved.

"Because we're anxious.", Shizuka said, "We weren't thinking clearly..."

"No problem, Kaiba, we'll have it all set up! See you in a few days!"

"Now I'm getting even more anxious!" Anzu exclaimed.

"I still don't think he'll go for this..." Otogi said.

"Why not, Otogi-chan?! So negative..."

"Because, you know how Honda is, it's a huge expensive gift and Honda's always telling Kaiba not to..."

"I still think he'll accept this!" Jounouchi said, rubbing his hands together in anticipation for his pay off from Otogi, "This is his dream! He'll have to take it!"

Otogi thought about that for a moment, almost ready to take back the bet.

"No, bet's still on!" he said.

*sweat drop* "You idiots."
