For Rachie, as she loves the pairing oh so much
Seto was in a bad mood. He usually got to skip gym class, it was great running your own company; you could always use the 'business' excuse. But, here he was in shorts and a t-shirt standing in front of an unsanitary looking rope that he was supposed to climb. But that wasn't the worst thing, oh no, Jou would be watching. Seto hated the thought of Jou being able to have an ample excuse to start and argument, Seto always got to open with an insult and he wasn't about to give that liberty to the mutt.
So, he took a deep breath and started to climb that rope. He could hardly heat the jeers due to concentration but one shout penetrated his mental block "Come on moneybags! Show us what you've got!"
"Damn mutt" He mumbled. Seto was inches away from the top, all he had to do was reach out and touch the bell attached to the ceiling but then he slipped…
The CEO landed with a thud on the mat, he knew he'd be hearing that laughter way into next week. He could see the notes scrawled on his locker in his head 'CEO lands on rear end' speaking of his rear end, it really hurt.
He was still dazed when he tried to stand up but just before he slipped again he felt a pair of strong arms pull him to his feet. He looked up and saw familiar brown eyes but they didn't have the usual provoked anger in them "Mutt?"
"Call me that again and next time I'll let you land on your butt"
"Charming" Seto brushed himself off and started to head to the changing rooms "Kaiba Seto!" Seto turned around to find the large nose of their gym teacher uncomfortably close to his own "Class isn't over yet"
"What am I supposed to do? I already fell off the dumb rope"
"Twenty push-ups and after that fifteen laps around the gym"
"But-"
"Get to it!"
Half an hour later Seto was on his eighth lap around the gym when he was joined by an unwanted running buddy "What are you doing here mutt?"
"I called the coach a dumbass so I got ten laps"
"TEN! You insult him and get ten whereas I land on my ass and get fifteen PLUS push-ups!"
"Coach ain't fair"
"You're telling me"
"And he doesn't like you"
"Why am I not surprised?"
"I think it's 'cause all the other teachers love you, the whole child genius thing don't help you in gym"
"Doesn't"
"What?"
"It doesn't help me in gym"
"So now you're correcting my grammar!"
Seto smirked; he could feel a fight coming on "If you talked properly then I wouldn't have to correct you now would I?"
Unfortunately for Jou the madder he became the worse his grammar got so Seto had plenty to work with. But unbeknownst to the two teens, while they were arguing they'd done twenty extra laps.
"Ow, the pain!" Jou slammed his locker shut and slung his book bag over his shoulder
"You shouldn't have been doing laps for over an hour" Yugi half scolded
"Well if Moneybags hadn't started an argument I wouldn't have lost count!" They headed out of the school gates
"Look at it this way Jou, you're in pain and you do laps every other day. Imagine how Seto's feeling"
Jou grinned "Heh heh, yeah" So they walked to Yugi's, Jou feeling a whole lot more light-hearted than he did ten minutes ago.
Meanwhile, at the Kaiba mansion….
"Ow, the pain!"
Seto had collapsed on a sofa and literally couldn't move, even if he tried to scratch his nose his muscles screamed in agony. "Mokuba! Where are the painkillers?"
"In the first aid cupboard!" came the reply from somewhere in the house. Seto tried to get up and immediately regretted it. He lay back down with a grimace "Can you bring them to me?"
The next day at school Seto Kaiba was nowhere to be seen. But, just as Seto had thought, the memory of his little escapade with gravity hadn't been forgotten. Jou walked to his locker and saw that Seto's was covered with graffiti and sticky notes saying things such as 'Kaiba can't cut it' and 'money obviously can't make you fly' Jou also saw that one note had been stuck on the wrong locker, it read 'Ha ha, Kaiba sucks, HH' Jou figured he should really teach Honda not to sign his insults, and to stick them in the right place.
Whilst walking to biology Jou wondered why Seto wasn't in school, even if he were in intense agony he would have attended. It was probably business or something, he'll be planning to sue the coach, or the rope, or even gravity. This caused Jou to laugh while he was sitting down in his place next to Otogi (he was the only other one out of the gang who took biology) "What's so funny?"
"Just thinking about who or what Kaiba could sue for his little tumble yesterday"
"I heard about that, I wish I could have seen it!"
"It really wasn't that funny. If it had been any other guy falling off the rope it wouldn't be such a big deal"
"Since when are you so nice to Mr. Perfect?"
Jou's eyes widened "I don't know, maybe I hit my head" He grabbed Otogi's hand and put it on his forehead "Do I have a fever? Are my pupils dilated? Quick somebody call a doctor I'm dying!"
It was at that moment, when Jounouchi was screaming of his death, that their professor chose to walk in "Mr Jounouchi I'm sure you're fine but if you actually listened in this class you'd be able to tell for yourself whether or not you are dying now can we please get on with the class."
Otogi leaned over to Jou and said, "Who stuck the rocket up his ass?"
"Mr Jounouchi! Will you stop laughing!"
At lunch Jou sat with Yugi and the rest of his friends. "Hey Yug, why doesn't Yami come to school?"
Yugi bit into his sandwich and thought, "Well, I guess it's since he grew up so long ago, he doesn't need re-educating"
"Yeah, but he needs to know about modern day stuff. Remember the talking alarm clock incident?" Honda said with his mouth full of pasta
Jou pulls a face "Honda! Close your mouth!"
"Bakura feels the same way, but I don't dare to bring him to school. If he ever got a detention then he'd send the teacher to the shadow realm" Ryou said, sitting down to join them
"Has anyone seen Seto today?"
"Why do you ask Jou?"
"I was just wondering, you know, with yesterday and all"
"Aw! Isn't that cute! The puppy's worried about his master!" Honda started to hum 'Seto and Jounouchi sitting in a tree' and promptly received a punch in the face from said puppy.
"Boys! Stop fighting!" Anzu scolded
"Yeah guys, Mother's here. Better be good" Otogi almost received a punch in the face but this time it was from Anzu, I say 'almost' as she swung, missed and fell flat on her ass.
Jou and Honda forgot about fighting and started laughing. When everyone had calmed down again conversation returned to the Yamis.
"So Ryou, how long have you and Bakura been together now?" Otogi asked
"Erm… I'd say it was about five months"
"And how about you and Yami, Yugi?"
"About four months"
"Have either of you… you know…"
"Otogi!" The two hikaris said in unison, they both blushed; Yugi's from innocence and Ryou's from guilt.
"What? Inquiring minds want to know!"
"Inquiring minds are going to have to wait, there's the bell" Jou grabbed Otogi's collar and dragged him off as they had English together next.
Okay! Chapter one! If anyone is wondering what the alarm clock incident was I might do a side fic of it. As I said before, this is for Rachie as she ADORES this pairing. So, please review and I shall write more. Love you all!
