Summary
Two years following their graduation, Jounouchi Katsuya is working night shift hours at a dead-end job when Kaiba Seto shows up and reminds him that people hardly ever change.
Like a cat toying with a mouse, watching it run in desperate circles, enjoying the show of anger and fear and insecurity until he finally decided he was bored and put it out of its misery. He watched the only set of headlights in the parking lot fade out of sight. And Jounouchi Katsuya promised himself, under the flickering lights of a Lawsons at 1:55 AM on a Thursday morning in December, that he wouldn’t be the mouse anymore.
OR
Post-canon slow burn, yearning, enemies to not-quite-friends to something lost in the in-between. Kaiba learns to accept himself after he comes to the realisation that he can no longer outrun the inevitable. Jounouchi learns to accept that maybe people do change, and that the vulnerability it takes to do so is often harder than it seems.

“What are you willing to do to secure this sponsorship?”
“Anything,” Jounouchi answered immediately, “I’d do anything.”
