Life isn't always roses

Birds twittered in surprise and flew from the trees surrounding the large manor as a loud and angry shout resounded from the premises.

"For hell sakes! Can't you see I'm working!"

"You're always working! You never have time for me any more!"

"I try, Joey! But I need to get this deal signed!"

"You don't try to do anything except ignore me!"

"Yeah, I know I try to do that! And if I could we wouldn't be having this argument!"

"And why would that be?"

"If I could ignore you, I would have got this done yesterday! Now get out!"

"Fine, I'll go then! Hopefully you'll be better off without me!"

"I won't know 'til you go! So get out!" There was a loud clattering, a few more shouts, and then the front door of the Kaiba manor opened and a very angry brunette pushed a blond boy out of it and yelled that if he didn't hurry up and go, he would call the guards to escort him off the premises. The brunette then slammed the door, which the blond then turned around and began to hammer on with his fists.

"Let me back in you basted! I need to get my things!"

"Do without them!" the brunette yelled, sticking his head out of an upstairs window. At this point, two burly guards grabbed the struggling blond by his upper arms and threw him out of the large, iron double gates, where he landed on...

"Joey?" the figure questioned, helping the blond to his feet.

"What happened to you?"

"That basted just threw me out!"

"Well, Joey, if you need a place to stay, me and Yami wouldn't mind sharing"

"Thanks Yug."

Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba had been seeing each other for one year now, to the day. But about a month ago, it had all started to go wrong. It started to seem to Joey, that Seto cared more about his work that his puppy, to whom he had sworn eternal love. Today was the pair's first anniversary of the day they had got together, it was also the day when they both snapped. There had been a growing tension between the two, and Seto's ever busy and ever-growing schedule had finally gotten to the pair.

As Yugi walked through the door to the game shop he lived in with his yami, and love, and his grandpa, two girls and three boys jumped out from behind shelves and the counter.

"It's ok guys, no need, Yami, can you go and set up the spare room?" Yugi said as he started to clean up the streamers and take down the banners.

"What happened bud?" Tristen, one of the boys, and Joey's second best friend said.

"Let's just say Kaiba doesn't have a very good idea of what a good anniversary present should be." Yugi said from his place behind the counter where he was picking up streamers. Joey didn't seem to notice that his friend hadn't realized what had happened as he walked into the living room and slumped down on the couch.

Back at the Kaiba mansion, Seto pulled a small, black, velvet box out of his trench coat pocket and opened it to examine the fine gold ring inside. As he ran his finger over the band, made of the finest gold and embedded with rubies, sapphires, fine Amber jewels and diamonds. The rubies for Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon, the sapphires, of two shades, for Seto's eyes and his Blue Eyes White Dragon, the gold gems for Joey's eyes, and the diamond being the traditional stone for weddings. He quickly snapped the box shut and tossed it towards the trashcan.

"He wouldn't have said yes anyway." Seto muttered to himself by way of self re-assurance, before continuing with his work.
