Work Text:
Christmas night that year was colder than normal. Jonouchi Katsuya was glad that the heat was working. All his gifts for his friends were wrapped and lined the wall for their party tomorrow. For once, the blond duelist decided to go to sleep early to make it to Yuugi's place as soon as he could as everyone was going to be there, even Mokuba.
Just thinking about the younger Kaiba reminded Jonouchi of his monthly dream. The blond wondered why Kaiba must torment him even while he was asleep. It was even worse in his dreams because the brunet CEO would do things that would make Jonouchi feel loved. The blond wished that the real Kaiba would show some other feelings besides hatred towards him.
Just as he was about to enter the world of dreams, there was a knock from the front door. Jonouchi knew it couldn't be his father since he usually went bar hopping until after midnight. Even then, he would probably pass out at the front door if he couldn't get it open. Whoever was at the door wasn't about to leave without a reply by how the person kept knocking in intervals.
"I'm coming!" Jonouchi yelled as he walked to the door. "Geez, some people are trying to sleep!" He was going to yell some more before he saw who was at the door. Before him on the other side of the door was a smirking Kaiba. The teen CEO wore a simple brown leather jacket that matched his hair perfectly and black leather pants. He had to admit, Kaiba still looked great without his trench coat, maybe even better since certain assets wouldn't be hidden.
"You're drooling," Kaiba said, smirking even more. Jonouchi promptly wiped said drool off his face, giving a glare in return.
"What are you doing here?" Jonouchi growled.
"Get dressed," Kaiba said as he turned around to leave. "We're going for a ride."
Jonouchi blinked as there was no way this was the real Kaiba. In fact, this was how some of his dreams started out. Kaiba would come and take him somewhere special where it would only be the two of them. He doubted that the real Kaiba knew where he lived. The only one explanation was that this was a dream and he did fall asleep.
The blond rushed to change into the warmest clothes he had. He might as well go along with this dream. Where dream Kaiba was going to take him this time didn't really matter. As long as Jonouchi had his dreams, having Kaiba being a jerk in real life was bearable.
As soon as Jonouchi finished changing, he rushed out the door. He was so excited he forgot to lock the door, though it didn't matter since this was just a dream. All that was on his mind was the sexy Dream Kaiba downstairs waiting for him. Just thinking about the brunet made Jonouchi drool again.
Kaiba smirked when Jonouchi was in his sight. Jonouchi always loved the way Dream Kaiba smirked. It wasn't the same as the real Kaiba's evil smirk or his better-than-thou smirk. It was the kind of smirk that one would do just to be sexy because they knew how good they looked. Dream Kaiba could pull that smirk off so well it always made the blond melt.
"Good thing I got you this," Kaiba said, holding up a black leather jacket. "Thought it would be nice if we took my motorcycle. You would freeze if you wore you're current jacket."
"Geez, do you think of everything?" Jonouchi laughed. "Hold on. Let me just run back up to put my jacket away."
Ten minutes later, both teens had their helmets on and were on the road. Jonouchi couldn't help but keep a smile on his face as he griped on to Kaiba by his waist. It didn't help that the air was freezing cold, making him hold on even more. Jonouchi was clinging to Kaiba so hard that it was practically a hug. That was the other bright side of Dream Kaiba: he didn't mind that the blond hugging him at all.
The buildings of Domino City flew by as trees soon replaced buildings. It even started to snow at one point, making the whole scene feel like the dream was more impossible to happen. Everything was just perfect that the last thing on Jonouchi's mind was waking up.
They went off the main road and on to one that would take them deep into the forest. Jonouchi's curiosity grew as this kind of thing never happened in his past dreams. When it was a motorcycle one, all they did was ride around the city until Jonouchi woke up.
"Hey, Kaiba," Jonouchi shouted. "Where are we going?"
"You'll see," Kaiba replied. Jonouchi could hear the smirk in his voice, annoying him a little.
A few minutes later Kaiba stopped in a parking area near a clearing. A frozen lake was in the middle with a few benches surrounding it. Jonouchi got off the motorcycle to stare at the sight not noticing Kaiba walking the motorcycle towards one of the benches.
"You going to stay up there all day or what?" Kaiba shouted. Jonouchi snapped out of his trance and ran over towards Kaiba, only noticing the two boxes on the bench. Kaiba handed over one of the boxes to Jonouchi, who opened it promptly. Inside was a pair of ice skates, ones that were exactly his size based off the tag.
"Uh, Kaiba," Jonouchi said. "I can't skate." Kaiba started to laugh. It wasn't his normal evil laugh but a true, honest laugh. The brunet had a smile that was of pure happiness instead of the usual malice. Jonouchi had mixed feelings about Kaiba laughing at what he had just said. On one hand, he was happy to see Kaiba finally smiled even in his dreams. Yet, he was still angry that the other found it funny he couldn't skate.
"I'll just have to fix that little problem," Kaiba said, putting on his skates. "It's fairly simple. Just put yours on and I'll show you. You'll be skating before you know it."
Just like Kaiba said, Jonouchi was skating after a half an hour and a few falls. The two teens ended up racing and playing tag. It was the best dream Jonouchi has had yet. Jonouchi wished the dream would never end, one that grew every passing second. The problem was that he knew that the wish wouldn't come true.
"Having fun?" Kaiba asked as he wrapped his arms around Jonouchi from behind.
"A wonderful time," Jonouchi muttered. "I wish this dream would never end." There was silence between the two. It didn't matter to Jonouchi, he was happy with how things where.
"I still have to give you two more presents," Kaiba whispered as he let go of the blond. Jonouchi could feel something being placed around his neck. A silver chain was around his neck with a pendant at the end. The pendant had a tear drop shaped ruby with a black dragon wrapped around the top having its mouth clasped on the chain.
"Wow," Jonouchi whispered as he got a better look at the necklace. "I don't know what to say."
"Thank you would be a good start," Kaiba said. He turned Jonouchi's head to face him. "Now for your second gift, and I saved the best for last."
Jonouchi blinked in confusion. What could be better than all that Kaiba has done for him so far? He got his answer soon enough when Kaiba closed the gap between their lips. Kaiba Seto was kissing him.
Jonouchi woke up later than he wanted to, upset his dream ended sooner than he wanted to. Last thing he remembered was Kaiba and him riding back to his apartment. He was so exhausted that Kaiba had to carry him up to his room. A smile formed on Jonouchi's lips.
"That's one dream to remember," Jonouchi muttered. A knock came from his front door, interrupting his thoughts.
"Hey, Jonouchi!" Mokuba's voice echoed through the apartment. "I let myself in since the front door was unlocked! Hope you and Nii-sama had fun last night! Just want to let you know I'll be waiting for you guys downstairs!"
"Wait, last night?" Jonouchi said out loud. "That means…"
"It wasn't a dream," Kaiba whispered in Jonouchi's ear as he wrapped his arms around said blond from behind. "Hope you don't mind me staying the night. You were pleading for me to stay."
"I was? Man, that's embarrassing."
"No worries. I won't tell anyone."
"Thanks."
Jonouchi smiled as he leaned back into Kaiba's embrace. Maybe Christmas wishes do come true.
