Your thoughts on Joukai teenage pregnancy (we ignore the logistics, could be one of them fem or some ABO rule or just whatever) like when they are still in high school.
Paired with a sprinkle of Jou and Kaiba are secretly dating and them just doing a whoopsie daisy, because stupid teenagers with bad parenting and issues.
And what do you think each of their reaction would be (so either Kaiba or Jou being pregnant)
I think Jou would react worse/panic more than Kaiba, regardless of who's the one pregnant. An accidental teenage pregnancy would hit too close to home for him and the way people have viewed and treated him. Plus, his financial situation would make having a kid so much more dire for him.
Kaiba, for better or for worse, is shielded by his money and power and privilege. At least his canon self would be. He doesn't have to worry as much about the impact to his image or his life because he is financially stable. Hell, he could probably hide the pregnancy more easily by flying whoever is pregnant somewhere out of public view (or for an abortion if you want to go that route).
omg i ended up crashing out this weekend so i didn't get a chance to look at this again but let's go
here's what i know to be facts about the characters
Kaiba is more excited than anything to have children. He plans on adopting kids at some point (and Jou has to negotiate him down from 10)
Jounouchi is trans masc. There are a lot of different experiences there, but I generally write him as a) fine for the most part with penis-in-vagina sex (he just wants to get off) and b) not interested in or not able to afford any kind of gender affirmation surgery. I actually love when people draw him without top surgery, and it needs to be done more.
Kaiba does not like condoms, and Jou thinks the pull out method counts as safe sex. You see where this goes.
I’ve been pregnant twice and have three kids and pregnancy is the last thing I want to ever think about again lol. That being said, I do tend to have an easier time accepting Jou as the pregnant one. Kaiba is too much of a control freak. Even in a planned pregnancy there’s too many things outside your control (My own example trying for one more and getting twins!) Gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, emergency c-sections…the possibility of any of those things would drive him nuts and are basically just things that happen and not really preventable. I can see him wanting kids when he’s older but definitely think a teen oopsy would end in an abortion for him.
Jou I see freaking out but embracing it at any stage of life. Sure he’s a little rough around the edges but he would want to be a good parent and to do the “right” thing. As a teen it would be a huge emotional struggle, especially the financial aspect and the lack of decent parenting in his life. Would probably lead to some dependency on Kaiba to do the right thing and take care of him. Which with their various possible dynamics could go either really well or really bad. Personally I prefer to write a healthy dynamic for them but I have no problem reading the unhealthy or toxic ones either.
Not a topic I plan to write a story for but I do enjoy seeing what others come up with! I’ve read some really good fics featuring them and pregnancy.
