Hi all. Yes, I am starting another new one, but the deifference with this one is...well, there is no difference, except for the fact that I have written most of it, therefore it's not likely to take years for me to upload each chapter.

This one has been playing on my mind for a very long ime. It's based on the movie 'Indecent Proposal'...you know, where the guy offers the husband a million dollars to sleep with his wife? I can't remember the movie too well, so really, the only similarity to the movie is the title and the idea behind it. Any further similarity is purely coincidental.

Anyway, the pairings are Jou/Yami and Seto/Yami.

Oh, btw, I know that in the Jap version of the anime, Jounouchi is his surname and Katsuya is his first name, but the purposes of this fic, it will be the other way around...if that's okay with all of you? If it's not, well, you can flame me and I'll change it...

I am also aware that at some stage I stopped using double quotes and reverted back to singles, so please, no need to point it out. Ta.

Warnings: Mature content, sex, swearing, some mild violence. Oh, and the guys might be a bit OOC. Yami is very much like a tough Yugi, Kaiba is more like a mild Bakura, and Jou is...well, Jou will probably be in character, but more...responsible and smart (ish).

I don't own Yu-gi-oh.

Onwards!

INDECENT PROPOSAL

5 Years Ago

Yami grunted as he was pushed against the wall of the alley behind the school with unnecessary force by the taller male. "Kaiba, what are you doing? Let me go!"

The brunette smirked, but did not back off. "You're so stubborn." He caressed Yami's shoulders in a mock gesture of comfort. "Why don't you just relax and let me love you?"

Yami struggled, but the other boy's grip hardened. "You don't love me, Kaiba. You just want sex." The grip tightened and he winced. "You're hurting me."

"Let me make you feel better then," Seto said leaning down to kiss him, his voice dripping with lust. Yami lifted an arm to slap him away as hard as he could, but the other anticipated it and caught the limb by the thin wrist. In a swift movement, Seto slammed the trapped hand against the wall causing Yami to cry out in pain. Seto took this opportunity to kiss him hard, pushing his tongue between the open lips and delving deep. Yami tried to bite him, but could not get the right purchase with Seto sliding his tongue all over the place. Eventually, Seto pulled away and grinned at the panting boy. When Yami recovered, he glared deeply into the icy blue eyes that belonged to the upper class president.

Seto growled and ground his evident hard-on against Yami's pelvis. "This could be easier on you if you just relaxed and let me do what we both want me to do." His free hand slid up and down Yami's arm before beginning to unbutton the blue jacket that was part of the school uniform at Domino High.

"I keep telling you, I don't want anything from you, Seto Kaiba!" Yami spat trying to bat the roaming hand away with his free hand. "I just want to get through one day without you making a play for me when I have no desire to be with you!"

Seto grabbed Yami's other wrist and brought both together in one large hand and pinned them above the spiky-haired boy's head before using the other hand to grab some of the multi-coloured locks to keep his head still. "I will have you, whether you like it or not!"

Yami's eyes widened as Seto went in for another kiss, letting go of his hands and wrestling with his jacket. The jacket came off followed closely by the white uniform shirt. Underneath, Yami wore a black tank top. Hands then roamed underneath that to seek out his nipples, which, once found, were pinched to hardness.

Yami grunted and managed to pull his head from the bruising kiss. "Stop!" he shouted. "I don't want this!"

Yami abruptly found himself facing the wall, right cheek pressed into it harshly. He braced his hands against the wall to try and push away. Seto had fisted a hand in his hair and was pushing against him. The other hand was unbuttoning his trousers. Soon, the hand found its way inside and teased Yami's cock through his boxers. Yami wiggled to try and get away from the obtrusive appendage.

After a few minutes, Seto gave up trying to bring Yami to hardness and was getting sick of his wriggling. He shifted slightly and pulled his hand from the front of Yami's trousers before pushing it inside his boxers at the back. Yami froze when Seto's long fingers found his entrance and pushed one inside. He cried out as it went deeper and Seto added a second, probing him deeply.

"I am going to fuck you so hard into this wall, there's probably going to be a Yami-indentation against it," Seto whispered against his ear.

"Hey, what's goin' on there?"

Seto quickly turned to look at the source of the voice, removing his fingers from within Yami at the same time. At the mouth of the alley was Yami's classmate, Jounouchi Katsuya. He had his school bag slung over one shoulder, his other hand buried in his pocket; his typical tough, confident stance.

"Jou," Yami wheezed as Seto pressed against him hard squeezing the air from his lungs. "Please help me!" He pleaded quickly seeing his only chance at getting away from this encounter without being raped. This earned him a hard tug on his hair. His cheek scraped against the wall and he whinced.

"Mind your own business, Katsuya," Seto said indignantly. This boy was nothing but a pest to him, but could cause trouble, and his lust was abating at the interruption.

"This is my business, Kaiba," Jounouchi said taking his hand out of his pocket ready for action. "When a friend asks for my help, especially Yami, I know he needs help, and I am gonna give him all the help he needs."

Seto growled and let go of Yami's hair. He didn't really need this, not when he was now, on the last day of school before the summer holidays, only a year away from graduation. Dealing with just Yami all this time had been easy, his actions being mild; the odd touch, a stolen kiss here and there in the toilets, and Yami had threatened to go to the authorities, but had yet to do so. If both Katsuya and Yami went to complain to the Headmaster about his actions, he could be taken off the committee, and that would look bad on his file, and potentially harm his future.

He stepped away from Yami and the other gasped for air. He straightened his jacket, even though it was impeccable, ran his fingers through his hair and turned towards the blonde. Without a word, he stalked passed him, but paused before he turned the corner. "I will have you, Yami. One day." And then he disappeared from sight.

Shaking, Yami slowly pushed away from the wall. He shuddered as the feeling of Kaiba with his fingers deep within him still lingered. Shaking it off as best he could, he quickly did up his trousers before stepping completely away from the damp wall and dusted himself off. He then smiled at his friend. "Thanks, Jou," he said picking up his discarded shirt and jacket, and his bag.

"That guy's a real jackass," Jounouchi said leading Yami out of the alley and into the brilliant sunshine. "You need to report him...oh, hey! You're bleedin'!"

Yami put a hand to his right cheek and the fingers came away with spots of blood. "It's only superficial," he assured his friend. "A scratch. If you hadn't shown up when you did..."

Jou put his hands on Yami's shoulders. "Don't worry about it, man. I'm just sorry I wasn't there to stop it from happening in the first place. The bastard."

Yami realised he was crying. He quickly wiped away the tears. "Only one more school year to go, and then he'll graduate and be out of our lives for good," Yami said, although his voice held no conviction. He wasn't sure how adamant Seto Kaiba was that he would have him, and what Seto Kaiba wanted, Seto Kaiba tended to get, one way or another. He was safe for now during the summer holidays, but when school started again...

Jou picked up on his doubts. "Don't worry, Yami," he said patting him on the shoulder making a smile come to the other's face. "I'll look out for you."

1 Year later

Yami sighed with relief as he watched the ceremony from a safe distance. Seto Kaiba had just been given his pass certificate and it would be the last he would ever see of that man. Although they were the same age, Kaiba's step-father had skipped him ahead by one year due to his excellent intellect. "Too bad his personality has no reflection on his intelligence," he said out loud to no-one in particular.

"Ahh, he's just a rich snob who thinks everyone should bow down before his massive ego," Jou said from next to him. "But, enough about that; we've got a great long summer ahead of us and then it's our last year. And now, you won't have to worry about money-bags over there."

Yami thought about all the times throughout his school life with Kaiba and the amount of times he'd been harassed by him. It had started as gentle teasing, escalating into the 'attempted rape'. Luckily, since that day Jou stepped in, he'd had nothing more than glared at him or followed him, maybe with the intention of doing something. But Jou had been true to his word to look out for Yami, and when the blonde was present, which was most of the time, Seto Kaiba stuck his nose in the air and just walked away.

Yami smiled genuinely. 'You're right, Jou. This is a day to celebrate. I am going to enjoy this summer and the next school year, because Seto Kaiba is out of my life for good!' He stuck his hand up for a high-five, and his friend happily obliged.

6 Months Later

'Did you hear that Seto Kaiba inherited his step-father's entire fortune and company when the old man threw himself out of the top-storey window of Kaiba Corp.?'

'No way! That means he's mega-rich!'

'I wonder if he has a girlfriend...'

'Probably hundreds, the player!'

The whispered comments were coming in too thick and fast for Yami's taste. He snorted at the wonderment in the boys' voices at how lucky Seto Kaiba was and how he could get anyone he wanted and probably did, and the girls that swooned over his pictures in the paper and vowed to try and see him to become his naughty secretary at some point.

'I'll bet he pushed his step-dad out the window,' Jou said looking at his copy of the paper. 'Guy strikes me as being the type.'

Yami chuckled. 'I wouldn't put it passed him.' He pulled the paper from Jou's hands. 'Anyway, we've got more important things to think about, like that mock test coming up.'

Jounouchi grimaced. 'God, yeah. I forgot about that. I'm never going to get good enough grades to get into a college.' He looked at his friend. 'You, on the other hand, are storming your way through the tests! You're definitely going to get into the university of your dreams.'

Yami shrugged. 'It's the only way I'll get into the one here in town. Otherwise I'd have to go to Tokyo, and I don't want that.

Jou smiled. 'Well that's good, because I'm not goin' anywhere and it means we can still hang out together.'

Yami smiled and blushed a little at the implications in his mind. Since the day Jou had 'saved' him from being raped, Yami had developed a mild crush on the blonde, but had never said anything, and probably never would. When he'd found out that the local University offered the same course as the one in Tokyo, he'd vowed to get into that place so he could stay with Jou.

'What's that smile?" Jou asked.

'Oh, nothing. Just...enjoying this Seto-free time, and looking to the future.'

Another 6 Months Later

'Yami Mutou!'

A cheer went up from the crowd, and with a huge smile, Yami stepped up onto the stage and headed to the podium to collect his certificate. He'd done it; he'd finally done it. This certificate meant he could go to Domino University after the summer, and it meant he would get an outstanding education and still be able to see his friend as often as they did now.

He stepped off the podium and suddenly Jou's arms were around him, swinging him round and round with glee. He laughed and begged Jou verbally to stop otherwise he might be sick, but internally, he was begging Jou to never let him go.

'Ya did it!' Jou exclaimed as he put the slightly dizzy smaller male down. 'C'mon, I wanna show ya somethin'.'

Yami was still reeling from the hug when Jou took one of his hands and lead him round the corner to the back of the school where the teachers and lucky students with cars parked. He stumbled with the quick pace, but managed to keep upright. He bumped into Jou when the blonde suddenly stopped. 'Ta da!'

Yami peered round Jou's form and saw a gleaming motorbike. 'Wow,' he breathed. It was the one he and Jou had gawped ages ago. 'What's this?'

'Duh, it's a motorbike,' Jou laughed.

'Yes, I can see that, but what's it doing here?' He looked at Jou. 'Is...is it yours?'

Jounouchi beamed. 'Yep. All mine...sort of. I've been saving for the deposit for over a year! I got it this morning.'

Yami laughed and ran his fingers lightly over the chrome and plastic.'It's gorgeous up close and personal.'

He felt fingers on his shoulders and he let them turn him round. Jou placed his other hand on his other shoulder too. 'Yami, I...' He paused, dropping his head.

'What is it, Jou?' Yami asked suddenly concerned, a million negative thoughts running through his mind in a split second, one being foremost. He's moving away...oh god, I haven't told him...

Jou sighed and lifted his head again. 'I...need to tell you that...that...I have feelings for you.'

Yami's jaw dropped open. 'Wh...wha...?'

'I'm in love with you. Have been for a very long time now.'

Yami was speechless but he tried to say something anyway. 'I...I...'

He was interrupted his stuttering by Jou placing his lips against his and kissing him softly. His eyes widened momentarily, then slid closed as he began to respond. He felt Jou lift one hand from his shoulder and place it lightly against his cheek and gently caressed the tender spot along his jaw and up to his ear. He shivered as the hand shifted to the back of his neck and pulled him ever so slightly more into the kiss and closer into an embrace.

Jou's tongue begged for entrance, and Yami gladly gave it, their tongues entwining until neither could breathe, but both unwilling to break the kiss. Eventually, Jou pulled away and the two panted whilst looking at each other.

'You...return those feelings?' Jou asked hesitantly, as if the kiss had been an illusion.

Yami threw himself into Jou's arms and hugged him tightly, tears forming in his eyes. 'Yes,' he sniffed. 'Yes, I love you too. I wanted to say something, but...but I was too scared...' Jou stroked Yami's back and shushed him softly. They broke apart, but still held hands. 'How long have you...?'

'Truth be told, since I met ya.' Jou laughed. 'I thought I was going crazy thinkin' you were a god with your lithe body, weird hair and perfect skin. Up until then, I thought I was straight.' They both chuckled. 'But, I thought it was just a brief attraction, and as I got to know ya, I started to want to spend more and more time together.' His face grew serious. 'Whenever that arrogant excuse for a human, Kaiba, would make advances on ya, I got mad, like jealous. And when I found out you spurned him, I was so happy. And that day that he...well, let's just say I wanted to protect you from then on, for always.'

Yami smiled. 'You stopped him, Jou, and that meant the world to me, that it was you. I...my crush on you has grown ever since.'

Jou smiled broadly and hugged him again. 'So, you wanna take a ride on this bad boy?' When Yami's face went bright red, he groaned. 'Not like that, you pervert! You wanna ride on the bike?'

Yami laughed with relief. 'Oh! Oh, yeah, sure!'

Jou got on the bike and Yami slid on behind him. He leaned forwards and wrapped his arms around Jou's waist. 'Jou?'

'Yeah?'

'So, are we...?'

Jou knew what Yami was asking. 'Yeah, we are.'

Yami blushed again and gave his boyfriend a squeeze.

3 Years Later...Almost Present Day

Jou sighed dejectedly as he sat in the dim lamplight in the lounge. His hot chocolate was not helping him to sleep at all. He so wanted to go back to bed, but his tossing and turning was disturbing Yami, and his boyfriend needed his sleep for concentration at University tomorrow.

A soft sound from the doorway of the bedroom indicated that his initial tossing and turning and probably his tinkering in the open plan kitchen had woken Yami anyway. He turned and watched Yami sleepily shuffle over to where he sat, rubbing his eyes. 'Hey,' he whispered.

'Hey,' Jou responded, also whispering, as if talking in normal voices would wake someone else up, but it felt right for 3am.

Yami yawned. 'The bed's cold without you.'

Jou's heart soared. In the 2 years they'd been officially together, his love for the diminutive teen had only grown, and statements like the one just said made him feel wanted.

Yami sat down next to him on the brown leather sofa and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. 'What's wrong? You don't normally have trouble sleeping.'

'Oh, it's nothing.'

Yami pulled away slightly and raised an eyebrow. 'Jou, I can tell something is wrong. I've known you for too long to not tell when something is bothering you. You can tell me.'

Jou kissed him on the forehead and Yami put his head on his shoulder. It was his way of giving in. He always gave in to Yami, but because Yami never demanded something he wouldn't willingly give him. 'I got fired today.'

'Fired?' Yami asked lifting his head. 'But why?'

Jou shrugged. 'I don't really know, except that the company came under new management last week, and we were told there would be cut backs. I guess because I haven't been there for long...'

'You've been there fore nearly a year,' Yami stated, voice still hushed. 'Not that I would wish it on anyone else, but wasn't there that girl who joined only a few months ago?'

'Yeah, but she's got more experience than me from a previous job.'

'But you have experience within the role.'

Jou laughed without humour. 'I know, it sucks. I tried speaking to my manager, but he said it was out of his control and he had fought for me to stay, but the new CEO was hearin' none of it.'

They sat in silence contemplating this new problem. 'It's okay,' Jou said. 'I'll just got get another job, no problem. It's just that my paycheck will be slim next month. We'll have to cut down on some things.'

Yami kissed Jou softly on the lips. 'Yes, you will get another job, no problem,' he said mimicking his other half. 'And we've got some savings. That'll see us through briefly.' They smiled at each other. Yami detached himself from Jou reluctantly and stood up taking one of his hands. 'Now, come to bed?'

Jou nodded. He gulped down the last of his chocolate drink and let Yami lead him to their room and into bed.

2 Months Later...Present Day

Jou looked at the unopened pink letters. The requests for money were becoming more demanding, less friendly. The one he'd just opened told him that if he didn't make payment on his bike soon, they would repossess it. The other's were likely from the gas and electric companies telling them they would turn of their supply soon.

He'd had no luck at any job interview, which he did not understand. It seemed like he got the interviews easily enough, and most times he made the interview and all seemed well, but then he'd get a call to say the position was not available any more. On a couple of occasions, they'd cancelled the interviews telling him he was not experienced enough. He'd even gone so far as to apply to restaurants for jobs as waiter and even dishwasher, just to bring in something to ease the debt collectors a bit. But to no avail.

Frustrated, he threw himself on the couch. He was putting so much effort each day into trying to find a job, that he felt like that was his job, but he wasn't getting paid for it. He opened the other letters and, as he suspected, they were final warnings before action.

He looked up when keys in the door alerted him to the fact that Yami was home from Uni. He smiled as best he could. 'Hey, Babe!' he said a little too enthusiastically. He quickly hid the letters behind his back.

Yami dropped his keys in the fruit bowl by the door and smiled back at him. 'Hi! How was job hunting?' Jou's smile faded and he looked utterly dejected. 'Oh, that bad, huh?'

'Ya could say that. It's almost as if the whole city has a 'Don't hire Jounouchi' policy.'

Yami came up to him and leaned in for a kiss, which was happily given. He hugged him as well. 'Uh, Jou?'

'Yeah?'

Yami pulled away and Jou groaned when he saw Yami had the letters in his hand. 'What's this?'

The blonde rubbed the back of him neck. 'Those? Oh, well, we're...not doing so well.'

Yami sat heavily next to and read the letters. He looked up. 'Don't worry!' He smiled. 'I spoke to Mr. Takahashi and he said that we could defer another rent payment for another month or so. So, we can use the rent money to pay these bills.' He quickly worked it out in his head. 'Oh, but...' He looked solemnly at his boyfriend. '...there won't be enough for food and your bike payment.'

Jou's bottom lips quivered. 'Dat's okay,' he choked out. 'It had a good run, and food is that much more important.' He stood up. 'I'll call the company and tell them I can't pay.'

'Jou, there is one other thing we can do to get money to pay the bills...'

'No way!' Jou said. 'You are not going to drop out and get a job. Your degree is too important in the long run, Yami. I'll hear none of that! You've worked too hard to just throw it all away.'

'But...'

'No!'

Yami wasn't annoyed with Jou's argument, in fact, he was proud of Jou for trying so hard. He stood up and grinned. 'Come on.' He grabbed Jou's arm and dragged him towards the door, grabbing the other's coat on the way.

'Wait, where are we goin'?' Jou enquired.

'Pizza.'

Jou watched helplessly as Yami closed the door behind them and locked it. 'But, what about the money situation?'

Yami turned, smiled and hooked his arm around Jou's and began walking. 'So, we'll buy a few of the cheaper food items when we go shopping next. Tonight is about us just being together, eating out rather than one of us cooking.'

Jou conceded, and let Yami lead them towards their favourite pizzaria.

Seto picked up the phone. 'Yes?'

'Their situation is reaching critical,' the voice on the other side advised. 'They have one more month at the most.'

'Good. Where are they now?'

'Heading towards that pizza place the blonde one likes. They'll be there in a few minutes.'

'Excellent work. Pay their bill and give them the letter and wait for an answer. Report back to me when they do.' He put the phone down and laced his fingers together, placing elbows on the desk and rested his chin on the bridge they made. 'Soon, Yami. Soon.'

Well, what do you think so far? Nothing too exciting has happened. Needed to get a few things out of the way before getting to 'Present Day'. R&R, please?
