Jou's been having a blast with the festival games. Yugi had opted to stay home, citing a migraine, but he practically shoved Kaiba out the door along with the rest of them, so he gingerly follows Jou around. He's been a surprisingly good sport about the whole affair, competing against Jou in the multiplayer games and even some of the singleplayer ones, and Jou finds that he doesn't actually mind spending time with Kaiba like this.
Kaiba lands another throw at one of the rigged booths, and he lights up like a little kid. Jou can't help it- he's staring a little bit, but how could he not? It's not often that Kaiba's not being an asshole for no reason. "Bet I could make that shot with my eyes closed," he taunts.
"In your dreams," Kaiba says back, but he's smiling with that competitive spirit in his eyes and Jou feels his face turn hot. He quickly drags his eyes toward the game before he can get carried away and sets about chucking the weighted balls at the targets, missing plenty of them in his rush. Kaiba snorts, then covers his mouth and turns away as the game host declares a loss. "What was that about a bet?"
"Joke's on you, I didn't bet nothing!"
"Double negative. I want something."
"Huh?" Jou pats his pockets, coming up empty. "I mean, I could give you a kiss," he jokes.
"Alright," Kaiba says unflinchingly.
"Wha- huh-" Jou doesn't get a chance to dwell on that as he hears Mokuba shouting from nearby. Kaiba turns his head to look as well, his relaxed demeanor slipping back into his usual rigid self.
