"He's perfect"…
"He truly loves you"…
"Aren't you excited?"…
Everyone thought that the man Joey Wheeler was engaged to was truly the one for him. The planning leading up to the wedding seemed too easy.
The day was sunny and perfect. The guest were all waiting in the church patiently for the grooms to walk down the aisle and make it official, after today Joey Wheeler would become Joey Princeton. He was going to marry Chazz Princeton, a young man that came from a very wealthy and known family.
While everyone was waiting for the wedding to begin Joey was in his suite with Chazz.
"YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT!" shouted Joey.
"Quiet down" stated Chazz.
I knock was heard on the door of the suite, "Joey is everything okay?" asked Mai, Joey's maid of honor.
"Yeah, everything's fine" shouted Joey.
"Ok, well you need to come down now because it looks like it's about to rain and the priest is getting impatient" said Mai.
"Ok, thanks Mai" shouted Joey.
Joey walked over and looked outside and saw that the climate had gone from nice and sunny to dark and cloudy.
"We can talk about this later" said Chazz as he put on his coat.
"When? After we get married…" hissed Joey with anger in his eyes.
Chazz didn't say a word.
"…I'm not doing this…" said Joey in a low voice, almost not believe the words he was saying.
"What are you talking about?" asked Chazz.
"…I am not marrying you" said Joey as he pushed past Chazz, this didn't settle well with Chazz. He pulled Joey's arm and threw him on the bed. He walked over to him and grasped his face.
"You will not humiliate me in front of everyone, in front of my family, in front of my business associates because if you do you will regret it" hissed Chazz.
"What...are you gonna hit me again" hissed Joey.
Chazz let go of Joey and walked over to the door.
"I better see you down there Joey or else" said Chazz.
Joey watched as Chazz walked out of the room. He look to see that everything in the room was broken or thrown on the ground. Joey grabbed his costumed designed suit jacket and put it on.
He walked out of the room and noticed that Mai was outside the door.
"What happened in there…you two couldn't wait for the honeymoon or what" said Mai with a chuckle but her smile quickly faded when she saw Joey's face.
"Joey what's wrong?" she asked.
"I…i…can't marry him Mai" he whispered.
"What…Why?!" she shouted.
"It doesn't matter…I just…I can't do this" said Joey as he started walking into the elevator that was to take them downstairs to where the wedding was being held inside Princeton Towers.
"Honey, it's a little to late for this" she said.
"Mai, please! I need to get out of here, as soon as this elevator doors open I'm gonna make a run for it and I need you to tell all the guest that I couldn't go thru with this" said Joey as a tear fell down his cheek.
"I just need to be alone Mai" said Joey.
The elevator doors opened and Mai nodded her head. While she made her way to the wedding hall Joey ran out of the hotel.
"Everyone!" said Mai, all the guest turned around to look at her standing in the middle of the aisle.
"I am sorry about this but Joey said he could not go thru with this…I'm sorry Chazz but he left" said Mai as she walked out of the aisle hoping to catch up to Joey. Yugi, Yami, Tristan, Bakura, Tea, Marik, and Duke looked at each other and decided to run after Mai.
Chazz stood there in disbelief. He could hear the whispered from all the guest. He looked over and saw his brothers shaking their head in disapproval.
Joey was running as fast as he could. It began to rain hard. A thunderstorm covered all of Domino City. Joey didn't care if he was getting soaked he just wanted to get as far away from Princeton Towers as he could. He ended up in the park in the middle of the town. He stopped and try to find somewhere where he would cover him from the rain. He found a tree on top of a small hill that had long enough branches that could keep him a little dry. He took of his suite jacket and placed it on his head to keep him dry. Leaning on the tree before falling down and sitting on the ground. He pulled his legs up to his chest and slowly tears started falling down his cheek.
"I'm an idiot" he said to himself.
"You sure are, didn't anyone ever tell you that it's bad to be under a tree when it's raining because you could get struck by lightning mutt" said a voice.
Joey's eyes opened wide when he realized whose voice it was.
"…Why are you here Kaiba" said Joey weakly, standing up and drying his tears with his long sleeve.
"I could ask you the same thing mutt?" asked Seto Kaiba.
Joey didn't speak he just stood quietly not even staring at Seto.
"You may speak mutt, your master is giving you permission" said Seto with a smirk.
"…I should be used to people talking to me like that, after all I am a worthless piece of shit" said Joey with a shrug.
Kaiba didn't say anything he was surprised by Joey's comment.
"What are you talking about mutt?" asked Seto.
"You were right, you've always been right. I am a useless pathetic mutt who will always live a miserable life" said Joey as tears began to form under his eyes.
Joey quickly tried to wipe them away but Seto saw them.
"Why aren't you in your home?" asked Seto.
"I don't have a home… anymore… I was supposed to get married today but my fiancé decided to cheat on me…and when I caught him he decided to blame it all on me… and beat me…" said Joey like if it was nothing.
Seto stayed quiet. He had learned that Joey was going to get married to a Princeton brother, it was all over the media but learning that he beat Joey, he couldn't believe it. Ever since he could remember Joey was always a fighter, he would never back down no matter how much bigger or stronger his opponent was. He was always strong so hearing Joey talk like this was shocking.
"Wheeler…"Seto was about to say.
"I know Kaiba, I know, I'm pathetic, I deserve it, that's what I get for being such an idiotic mutt. Your right…you've always been right…I mean how could a high society elite guy like Chazz Princeton become interested in a broke useless uneducated mutt like me" said Joey as he folded his arms and tried to keep warm, the wind was beginning to blow and it felt like the temperature was getting colder every minute.
Seto noticed that Joey was beginning to shiver. He walked over to Joey and covered him under his umbrella. Seto looked down and saw how crushed joey was in the inside.
"Where's the nerd heard?" asked Seto.
"Probably still in the wedding venue I left without telling anyone except Mai…I just wanted to be alone" said Joey.
Seto and Joey stayed in silence for a while just letting the rain fall under them and the wind hitting harder. Seto could see the suite jacket Joey had on the ground was soaking wet and Joey was shivering from the cold so he decided to wrap his free arm around him.
Joey was surprised when he felt Seto's arm around his waist pulling him closer. Seto's body heat radiating to him.
"…You're not useless" said Seto in a low voice.
Joey looked up at Seto when he heard him speak but didn't say a word.
"You're not useless and…you deserve someone to make you happy" said Seto.
Joey dried his tears with his sleeve and smiled at Seto.
"…Thanks" said Joey.
