Kaijou + things you said when you thought I was asleep

send me a ship and one of these and I’ll write a mini fic!

With a startled jolt, Jounouchi opened his eyes and woke from his slumber. Whatever dream—or nightmare he had was long forgotten the moment he sat up in an unfamiliar bed. Never in a million years did Jounouchi believe he’d ever find himself tangled in soft satin sheets of the highest quality—let alone those of whom belonged to a certain blue eyed CEO.  When he looked to the other beside him, back turned to him, fast asleep, the blonde’s face burned red as he recalled what happened only moments ago. One thing lead to another and before he knew it…they really did it. They crossed a line.

A pained groan escaped Jounouchi as he slipped back under the sheets. Right…Kaiba did a number on him. There was no way he’d be able to make a sneaky escape with the condition his body was left in. An irritated click of his tongue and Jounouchi glared daggers in the brunette’s direction.

“You rough bastard.” Can’t you do anything in moderation? Dark brows furrow at the thought of all the bruises marked all over him and the stinging sensation they brought each time he grazed against a sore spot. How was he to hide all the evidence from everyone? The embarrassment alone would eat him alive if they ever found out about this…encounter!

Propping himself up with an arm, Jounouchi turned on his side, brown hues watching the slow rise and fall of the other’s body to make sure he didn’t stir from his slumber. Amazing, the man actually did sleep. Sure Seto Kaiba was just as human as he but somehow it felt unnatural—or perhaps cursed to see him in such a vulnerable state. A part of him wanted to reach around and sneak a peek at Kaiba’s face, however the fear of icy blue eyes staring back at him kept him from doing so.

“—Oi, Kaiba.” He spoke in a hushed voice just in case. No response. It seemed like the CEO was down for the count. What an opportunity life had bestowed upon him. Being able to vocally air his grievances at Kaiba and not have to suffer the consequences of that mouth of his—what more could Jounouchi ask for? “You’re really not awake over there?” He asked quietly for good measure. When there was no change in Kaiba’s breathing, Jounouchi took that as a sign to continue.

“Well do you finally notice me, jerk?” Maybe there was a tad bit of malice behind those words, but that wasn’t all he had to say. “You spent all these years obsessing over the other Yugi—no Atem, that I wondered if you ever had any space left for me in that head of yours.” A sigh and Jounouchi turned on his back to stare up at the ceiling of Kaiba’s room.

“Sometimes I wish you were obsessed with me too, y’know…” There was some relief once those words passed his lips. Finally speaking the truth was pretty cathartic as it turns out, but like hell he’d actually voice those very words in front of a conscious Seto Kaiba. It didn’t take long for Jounouchi to be lulled back to sleep as soon as he shut his eyes.

Little did he know, on the other side of the bed, Kaiba was awake.

send me a ship and one of these and I’ll write a mini fic!: things you said when we were on top of the world

Things were looking up for Otogi and Jounouchi within the year. Industrial Illusions offered to expand their reach with DDM in other countries to which Otogi happily agreed to. His dream was slowly getting the recognition he deemed it deserved. Jounouchi on the other hand was sweeping the dueling world by storm with a surprising win streak with each tournament he entered. Small gigs here and there none as big or important as the one he was currently dueling in. Standing before him was his greatest hurdle to becoming a true duelist—Seto Kaiba as his opponent for the finals.

If he could beat the CEO in his own tournament, not only would that be satisfying in itself—the grand prize was even better. A shot for the title of “King of Games”, a match with Yugi fair and square. Scouts were viewing the tournament from the stadium or from its broadcast with the potential promises of scouting him for the pro leagues. It was far more imperative to Jounouchi that his dream finally came true.

As always, going up against Kaiba was no walk in the park. It didn’t take long for the situation to turn dicey and the blonde found himself cornered with little options to counterattack. Still he didn’t back down in the slightest. He’d keep fighting until his LP hit 0.

For a brief moment Jounouchi looked to the crowd where he knew his friends sat, seeing their smiles and hearing their supportive cheers. They didn’t go unappreciated and helped to ease his nerves. When he made eye contact with Otogi he was offered a soft smile as he mouthed the words “You’ve got this” and wink to top it all off.

Bringing his attention back to the duel at hand he had a newfound confidence inside him. Putting all his hope into his next draw, it was what he needed to turn the tides in his favor. Lady luck managed to stay on his side for the remainder of the duel and someway somehow…he’d won? He’d actually beaten Kaiba?

“I…I did it!?” Jounouchi was almost in much disbelief as his opponent had been. If looks could kill he was sure that icy glare would’ve withered him to dust.

As the gang all bum rushed the stage to congratulate Jounouchi in his shock, Honda was quick to trap him into a headlock with tears rolling down his cheeks all the while the others and Shizuka praised her brother for his win. With a sheepish grin he’d accept every congratulations he received from each of his friends—then his eyes met with Otogi’s once more. Somehow it made the DDM master bashful as his boyfriend slipped out of Honda’s grasps to make a straight beeline towards him.

“Congrats, Jounouchi!“

Otogi was fully prepared to give Jounouchi a quick embrace, so when either side of his face was cradled in the other’s hands and lips pressed against his, his body grew tense with shock. It seemed he wasn’t the only one surprised as he could hear the audible gasps, whispers, and cheers coming from the stadium. It was no secret between their friend group that they were dating however kissing in front a crowd and on national TV was another thing entirely. Still this did nothing to deter Otogi from relaxing into Jounouchi and returning the kiss.

When their lips part chestnut hues gaze into emeralds and a big sheepish grin worked on the ends of Jounouchi’s lips. “You were right, I did have it.”

It wasn’t until the image of himself blown up on the screen above came into view, and all the cameras surrounding them, did Jounouchi jump back to separate himself from Otogi as if his skin had been electrified to the touch.

“—Oh fuck!”

Reality was starting to settle in. He just kissed his boyfriend in front of EVERYONE. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to—er of course I meant to but—I got so caught up in the moment I didn’t think!” What if this impulsive stunt put Otogi in a tough spot now? Couldn’t Industrial Illusions rescind their offer after all of this? Never mind all the potential sponsorships he ruined for himself. His mind only had room to worry about his boyfriend’s career rather than his own.

From the panicked look on Jounouchi’s face, it was a no brainer that his boyfriend was freaking out about the situation. “Jounouchi, hey it’s okay—“

“Crap! I don’t want Pegasus to fire ya ‘cause of me!” The idea of tarnishing Otogi’s reputation loomed over him so that he couldn’t bear to face him anymore, turning his back to the other.

“—Jounouchi!” Otogi tried again only to be ignored once more.

“Your dreams were taking off! I just messed them all up!” This had been the final straw for Otogi. This was a moment to celebrate a milestone that Jounouchi finally surpassed—not to sulk over ‘messed up dreams’. As he grabbed the blonde by the arm, Otogi flipped him back around so they were forced to face each other again.

With a free hand, Otogi hooked an arm around Jounouchi’s neck pulling him into another kiss. This time it was the blonde’s turn to be too stunned to react. Once more a mixture of sounds came roaring from the crowd as Otogi pulled away just enough so they could peer into each other’s eyes.

“Katsuya, relax. Whatever happens we’ll see it through, together.” He offered as consolation before carrying on. “Besides you just kicked Kaiba’s ass we have to celebrate that!” They shared a laugh and then a grin bloomed over Jounouchi’s face.

“Right, right sorry celebration mode is on!”

Otogi nodded with a smile—one that made Jounouchi lean in for one last kiss before it was interrupted by the clearing of a throat. Isono stood beside them, dabbing the sweat from his brow with a handkerchief—the poor man’s collar was drenched.

“—Excuse me but I need to officially crown you as the w-winner of this tournament.” He sounded nervous. Was it due to the fact that his boss lost in front of the world or that Jounouchi was smooching his boyfriend? Probably both.

“Oh yeah gimmie a sec!” Before he’d go off to follow Isono to the center stage, the blonde took his boyfriend’s hands in his own, giving them a light squeeze. “Whatever happens we’ll see it through…together.” He stated once more.

“Absolutely, babe.”
