A/N: Hey, all! I'm back! Although, probably not in the way you were all hoping. I'm still stuck in a rut with Dreams, Dread, and Puppies. But don't worry; I have not given up hope! I've actually wanted to try my hand at a drabble for a few months. Now I actually was able to come up with a topic! I hope at least someone out there is as excited as I am. Anyway, like any other of my stories, I'm not promising fast postings. Especially with this one. This is a series of one-shots, as you might have guessed, so they'll only be appearing when/if I get an idea. If anyone ever gets any ideas or requests or anything like that, drop me a line and let me know. The pairings I mainly do are Seto/Jou and Yami/Yugi. However, I really like the pairings of Bakura/Ryou and Marik/Malik, although I don't know their characters very well. I'd be willing to give it a shot. Well, I think that's it, so here's my very first shot at a drabble. Let me know if I did it right, please! Thank you and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I'm deeply touched if you think that I'm talented enough to come up with something as cool as…well, any type of anime series, actually. Yes, deeply touched and ready to have you committed.

Warning: Includes shounen-ai (boy/boy), although it's mainly implied…or something. No yaoi action, let's just put it that way.

Rating: K

Paring: Seto/Jou

Morning Surprises

Blue eyes slowly blinked open, not quite ready to release the fuzzy sort of warmth that sleep provided. Although, as the owner of said blue eyes awoke further, he realized that sleep was not the only thing giving off warmth. With that realization memories of the previous night came flooding back into his mind.

The puppy had come home with him after school and was easily convinced to spend the night. The two teens had spent the afternoon playing with Mokuba, much to the child's delight. After dinner and a movie they sent Mokuba to his room to sleep and the two hormone-ridden boys made their way to Seto's room for some fun late-night activities.

While Seto didn't join in many of the games that Jou and Mokuba played, he found great enjoyment and satisfaction in just watching them. For the first time in a long time he felt complete. Happy. He couldn't remember the last time he had just let go and allowed himself to be free. But with the pup around, he found that it was bound to happen more and more.

Throughout the evening he found himself noticing things about the pup he couldn't believe he didn't see before. He finally noticed how much a genuine smile lit up the puppy's face. He finally noticed how the puppy's eyes sparkled when he was laughing. He finally noticed how cute the puppy was when he was concentrating on something important, like beating Mokuba. But above all, he finally noticed that he wanted to do everything he could to keep the puppy from ever losing his light, his sparkle, his determination.

After a few hours of fun late-night activities Seto was tired, but not tired enough to keep thoughts from entering his mind. He had been asked why, out of all the people he'd had relationships with, he had stuck with Jou. Usually his relationships ended from anywhere between two weeks to a month. But Jou…he'd been with the pup for about two months, now. What made him different?

At the time when he'd been asked, Seto didn't have an answer. He'd thought and thought, but an answer refused to surface. However, he hadn't been thinking about that lately, so it surprised him when the question popped back into his head as he was falling asleep. When the dreams finally overtook him he still had no answer, only another question. Why was he thinking about this now?

Hoping to find at least one answer, the brunette rolled over to face his sleeping companion. As he brushed blonde hair from his puppy's eyes something hit him. Hard. As he realize what that something was, he couldn't have been more surprised if Pegasus suddenly handed over his company and Yugi gave him the title of 'King of Games.'

Blinking, Seto realized he finally found the answer to one of his questions, automatically answering the second, as well.

The answer to his second question was just that—an answer. He thought of the question after a long period of time because he just figured out the answer.

As to the first question, well…he was in love.

Maybe he shouldn't have been surprised, after all.

A/N: Well, that's it. Now that I look at it, this might be too long to be considered a drabble. Drabble or no, this is the shortest thing I've ever written. What's the definition of a drabble, anyway? Oh well. Let me know if you enjoyed it! Thankies!
