Sort of got the idea from the song Died in Your Arms Tonight. Such a great song :)
The gang was tired of Kaiba and their friend insulting each other every time they saw one another. It was annoying and Joey would never ignore the CEO no matter what they did to persuade him. Sighing, the smallest of the group, Yugi, decided to finally leave the two and walked away. 'Let's hope Joey doesn't do something he might regret.' The others were close behind as the yelling got quieter.
"I'm glad it's quiet but do you think it's okay to just walk away and not stop them?" Tristan spoke up, his eyes filled with concern as he looked back over his shoulder at the fading young men.
"We've seen them argue so many times it's obvious how it's going to go down: they'll continue throwing insults at each other then Joey gets angry and tries to punch Kaiba only to be beaten to it first. Finally, Joey will lay there growling as Kaiba mocks him one more time and walks away." Tea smirked at her two male friends. The boys just looked at each other, unsure if that was really going to be what happened this time. A loud crack rang in the sky, forcing the three to look up into the now cloudy sky.
"Great… It's about to rain." Tristan muttered, shoving his hands in his pockets before making a run for it towards his house. "I'll see you guys tomorrow! I've got homework to do!" he waved back to them just as the rain came pouring down.
Yugi and Tea stood there, shielding themselves as best they could before finally going their separate ways. "See ya, Tea!"
"Listen," the CEO began turning "I don't have time to stand here all day and insult you. I would love to but I can't afford to get sick." He could hear the mutt mumble something angrily towards him. "What was that, mutt?" Kaiba swiftly turned.
Soaking wet, Joey trembled in anger, his blonde hair sticking to his forehead, nearly covering his amber eyes. "I said… I – I won't let you get away."
The brunette saw something in the blonde's eyes that he couldn't pinpoint. He tilt his head to the right slightly, causing the rain to drip from his hair. With his hands in his trench coat, he took a hesitant step forward. "What are you talking about?"
"Fuck." Joey collapsed to his knees, grinning as he tried covering his face with a hand. "Why do you care? You'll just laugh it off!"
"Probably. But I'd still like to know so we can get out of the rain."
The blonde's head shot up, his eyes bright as he stood. "Fine. I'll show you instead just so I can piss you off!" he saw the confusion on Kaiba's face but stormed up to the brunette anyway.
He froze as Joey took him by his face, noting how soft the blonde's hands were. 'What is he doing?' Kaiba couldn't move the moment he felt lips on his. He couldn't even think properly as rough lips softly took his first kiss. It felt like it had lasted an eternity but in reality had actually lasted a few seconds. He wanted to be angry but he couldn't. He wanted more. He wanted to have more of those amazing lips but all he could do was stare. "S – Seto?" That sweet Brooklyn accent broke him from his trance quickly.
Joey didn't have time to react before the CEO jumped him, pulling him in for another kiss. "I need more…" he breathed in the blonde's left ear, forcing him to moan softly. 'I should walk away but he's so god damn hot - .' The blonde was completely lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice he was being dragged back to the Kaiba mansion until they had entered the main hall.
"Nothing on your end either?" Yugi asked worriedly.
"No. Maybe his phone got wet?" Tristan replied, trying to answer a math question.
"Didn't it ring though?" the violet eyed boy responded thoughtfully. "And if it got wet, it wouldn't be working properly."
"Well we can't go check on him. His dad is a major drunk and doesn't allow any of us over." Tristan sighed in defeat. "We'll just have to wait until tomorrow. And besides, the rain isn't letting up anytime soon."
Yugi nodded unconsciously before hanging up and continuing to think about the well being of his best friend. 'Please be okay, Joey.'
Gripping Seto's shoulders tightly, he gasped lightly as he felt a hand quickly unbutton his jeans. "Oh God…" he whispered as they were forcefully tugged off, one of his hands held above his head before he switched their positions. "My turn." He slid a hand up Kaiba's shirt, running it up his smooth chest as he arched his back.
The brunette weakly pulled his shirt off with the help of the blonde. 'Why? Why am I doing this?' He watched as Joey took the last of his clothing off before asking him permission to kiss him. "You don't need to ask." Seto breathed.
Kissing the brunette's lips gently, Joey took off the other's pants and underwear, knowing Kaiba didn't care the same way he did. 'I'm just torturing myself…' but he couldn't stop. He had loved Seto Kaiba for a few years and it hurt whenever they argued or when Kaiba called him names. He always felt like crying in front of him.
His breathing became labored as the blonde above him kissed him feverishly. He moaned loudly, begging Joey to finally penetrate him.
He felt… groggy as he carefully opened his eyes to the sound of his phone going off nearby. He felt someone move next to him and he quickly sat up, his heart beating out of his chest as he looked around the room. 'Shit!' His amber eyes took in the two pairs of clothes lying on the floor, the familiar trench coat bringing back memories from the night before. Joey felt tears run down his cheeks but wiped them away when his phone went off again. Leaning over the edge, he reached for his jeans to grab his phone from his pocket.
"Do you know what time it is, Tristan?" he whispered harshly.
"Geez, bro, we were worried about you." Tristan surrendered. "And what's up with the whispering? Did your dad punish you for being late?"
"No…" Joey looked over towards Seto with a small smile. "But I'm gonna have to deal with him when I do get home. He's going to kill me for sure but I don't mind."
"Joey, you're freaking me out bud. Why do you sound so happy? We left you alone with Kaiba yesterday and you weren't happy at all."
"I have to go." Joey quickly hung up before sitting back on the bed. "Shit… what the hell do I do now?" He turned when he felt Seto shift again, just in time to see him roll off the bed.
"What happened?" the brunette looked around, his blue eyes landing on the blonde.
"You fell off… that's it." Joey bit his bottom lip slightly, trying his hardest not to kiss him as he got back on the bed. "I knew I should've walked away." He muttered.
For the second time, Seto tilt his head, looking absolutely adorable. "Why is that?" He didn't regret last night's activities. Was Wheeler regretting all of it?
"How much do you care about me?" Tears once again fell from Joey's eyes. "I didn't want any of this if you don't care at all; if you just used me for pleasure! I was hurting myself the entire time if you were so I need to know so I can get over you!" he yelled.
Forcing the blonde against the wall, Kaiba smiled. "I'm glad to finally know my feelings are returned." His voice was soft and kind as a few tears rolled down his face.
A knock came at Seto's bedroom door, interrupting Joey. "Who is it?" Kaiba demanded lightly.
"A Mr. Yugi Mutou and Mr. Tristan Taylor with Ms. Tea Gardner are waiting for you in the living room. They are here for Mr. Wheeler, sir." The butler responded.
Joey sighed annoyingly while slipping his pants on. "I'll be right down." He stretched before looking over at Kaiba. "What?" the brunette's bed head and slumped shoulders nearly made Joey laugh. "You look like a kicked puppy. Don't worry," he smiled. "I'm not leaving yet. I promise."
"Good." Seto whispered before slipping his pants on as well and heading downstairs.
"So what happened to your shirts and you want to explain why you weren't answering your phone last night, Joey?" Tristan started to interrogate.
"Maybe we should have worn our shirts down…" Seto whispered to Joey who just nodded nervously before responding. "I didn't know you called. Sorry. I would've answered but I was thinking on my way here."
"Since when do you think? And why the hell did you even stay here? We thought you hated each other!" Tea demanded, glaring at Kaiba who didn't look her way.
"Calm down Tea," Yugi faced her. "The storm was pretty bad last night and Kaiba's place was closer than Joey's was so Seto was just being nice."
Joey took a step back as a blush formed which didn't go unnoticed by Tristan. "Then explain why he's blushing!"
Joey grabbed Seto's hand and pulled him into the kitchen. "Seto, how the heck do we tell them?" He placed his head into his hands. "They might laugh or hate us!"
The brunette smiled at the use of his first name and removed his lover's hands. "They could never hate or laugh at you. They might hate me except Yugi but I'm used to it."
"But I don't want them to hate you anymore! Sure, you were kind of a jerk but so was I! I used to bully Yugi all the time until he stood up for me, calling me his friend. After that, I decided to change and start acting like one! It wasn't easy but I learned quickly thanks to him. I'm sure he can help you out too. I'll be there every step of the way as well." Joey grinned before kissing a shocked Seto's cheek.
"So how's school been going, Mokuba?" Tea asked calmly as she and the others sat patiently on the couch with the preteen.
"It's going. Nothing new. Hey, did you guys eat yet?" the raven haired boy asked tiredly, receiving a 'no' before standing and heading to the kitchen.
"We were worried about Joey that - ." Tristan froze as did the other three hungry people.
"I was feeling so upset earlier that I forgot to ask how your ass was feeling… I mean I wasn't exactly gentle last night. It was your first time though so I should've been careful…" Joey whispered loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
The brunette leaned in, whispering "Are you saying you aren't a virgin?"
The blonde's face burned bright red as he swallowed. "Course I am! I was kinda forced to learn. I'll explain some day. I promise." Like last night, he grabbed Seto's face and kissed him softly, both their eyes closing this time.
"Ahem!" Tea cleared her throat, forcing the two love birds apart.
The two turned their heads towards the interruption. Joey scratched the back of his head nervously while kicking the tile floor and Seto glared straight at Tristan who glared back. "Do you two have something to tell us?" the brown spike haired teen grit.
Joey's face turned even redder as he didn't look at anyone and played with his hands nervously. "I – It's not like it's been going on for awhile." He mumbled. "It actually started last night."
"If you have a problem with it, you can speak to me about it. Leave Joey out of it." Seto spoke protectively.
"Just calm down, both of you!" Yugi almost yelled. "There's no reason to be angry!"
"Yugi's right." Mokuba stepped up.
But Tristan ignored them. He wanted to know how his friend and enemy could argue one day and end up together the next. It didn't make sense. "Explain how you, Joey, who always complained about him and called him names would end up with him. Just tell me, please?"
Carefully picking his words, the blonde opened his mouth. "Well, to be honest, I've never actually hated Seto. It's really the opposite." He stepped back again when he saw Tristan's pissed off face. "I've only been mean to him because I never thought he'd… love me… back. But last night I sort of wouldn't let him leave and then I…" Joey didn't dare grab Kaiba's hand, no matter how much he wanted to. He didn't want to piss off Tristan any further "kissed him and soon found myself back here. At first I thought I was hurting myself but turns out he cares about me just as much as I care about him." He smiled, glad to have someone that loved him, but it was quickly wiped away when a punch landed on his cheek, knocking him back into his lover's arms.
"So you pretty much lied to us since we first met him!?" Tristan was now being held by Yugi and Mokuba who were struggling.
Seto, shaking with rage, helped Joey stand up. "It's not like he could exactly tell you. Would you laugh at him if he did?" The only reason he hadn't beaten Tristan was because he was tending to the blonde's forming bruise.
"It is kind of funny that you are together and I suppose I would have laughed hearing him say he loved you if he told us three years ago. But it's not completely funny now. It makes me even more pissed off that he kept it from us." Tristan calmed down.
'So much for breakfast.' Joey winced at the light pressure on his face. Looking up at Seto, he smiled softly. 'Maybe breakfast isn't ruined… I know one 'meal' I can still have.' He giggled, gaining everyone's attention.
Seto grinned. "And what's so funny?"
"Just a thought about breakfast that only you're allowed to know." The blonde devilishly smiled back.
It was completely silent in the kitchen, signaling for the two to continue. "And would you like to tell me what's for breakfast?"
Joey slammed the CEO on the counter. "I think I'd rather show you." His hands slid up the other's sides carefully, forcing a small hiss from the brunette.
"Bedroom?" "Bedroom." Joey quickly responded, forgetting his friends were still somewhere in the house.
"Remind me when we get back to your place Yugi to clean my eyes out with soap." Tea shivered.
"You and Tristan are so negative towards those two today…" Yugi stated, standing in Mokuba's room near the kitchen.
"Think about it." Tea angrily said. "Your best friend kept something from us, making us believe he actually hated Kaiba when he really loves him. Aren't you mad?"
"No." Yugi smiled at Tristan and Tea. "I'm happy for them. Plus we don't have to deal with their arguing. It's like Kaiba said, Joey didn't tell us because he didn't want us laughing at him."
"I read my brother's journal and I was surprised to find it was filled with his and Joey's fights. He sometimes wrote how he hated arguing with him and said he just wanted to get along. I figured he wanted to be friends but I never expected this. I was shocked last night when Seto brought Joey here, holding his hand, but I didn't ask about it. He said that the storm was bad so he made Joey come here." Mokuba sat on his king sized bed.
"Whatever." Tristan finally spoke up. "Since they're together now, I can't wait to see how Kaiba's fan girls will react at school." He grinned causing Yugi to worry.
'He has a point. They'll go after Joey for 'taking' Seto from them. I should go warn them now so they can figure out what to do when Monday arrives.' Yugi left the room in search of the two teens.
His father's ringtone went off again but he ignored it again. Joey was to caught up in the blue eyes staring into his to bother answering it. He knew he was in trouble when his father called.
'Who keeps calling him?' The CEO ran his fingers through the blonde's hair. "You gonna answer that?" Joey shook his head no.
"It's just my dad. He's gonna yell at me like he always does but I think this time it's going to be worth it." He smiled before capturing the brunette's lips in a sloppy kiss.
Yugi took light breaths as he made his way to Seto Kaiba's room, having to ask for directions from a maid on his way to the stairs. 'The third door on the left. Should I be straightforward about it?' He ascended the marble stairs slowly, gripping the railing tightly. 'I know I can't apologize for Tristan's actions earlier but I can at least tell them what Tea and Tristan said and definitely warn them about Kaiba's fan girls.' He stopped at the top of the steps. "I'll obviously knock first and say it's me. Then I'll wait until someone answers the door." He whispered to himself as a butler passed him.
"It wouldn't be wise to interrupt them now, sir." Yugi turned his head to see the butler looking at him. "The Master advised all of the staff last night to leave him and Mr. Wheeler alone until he said so. Your friends wouldn't shut up so I told Mr. Kaiba you were all here." Yugi whispered a small 'sorry' before the old servant continued on his way.
He could hear something as he continued slowly walking down the hall, the sound getting louder. He shivered as a loud groan reached his ears. 'I should head back and wait…' Yugi heard a cry and covered his ears. 'Yeah, I'm definitely going back downstairs.' He turned on his heel and ran down the stairs as fast as his short legs would carry him.
Joey decided that since he had been on top last night, that Seto should top this time. And he had made the right decision. The blonde had never expected the CEO to be amazing on his first try. Well, truth be told, last night had also been Joey's first but he only knew what to do from his father forcing him to watch. He could barely breathe as Seto hit his sweet spot continuously; the brunette's blue eyes bright with passion. He could tell by the hot, short breath on his collarbone that Seto was either reaching his end or he was exhausted. Both most likely as Joey dug into the sheets as he finally came after one last hit to his spot. It wasn't long after that his lover followed. "I'm tired again…"
Kaiba grinned happily as he moved the blonde's bangs from drooping eyes. "Then go to sleep. I'll still be here when you wake up." He watched as Joey finally closed his amber eyes before moving off the bed, his face set into a frown and eyes determined.
"Love you." Joey whispered, knowing Kaiba had climbed off the bed before he fell into a deep sleep.
The CEO simpered at the words before proceeding to dress. "Love you too." He wore a simple blue t-shirt and light blue jeans. Looking back once more at his sleeping puppy, he exited the room and strolled down the hallway in quick strides. 'Those two are getting a major talking to when I get down there.' He nearly ran down the steps as his anger was getting the best of him.
Yugi had been standing near the stairs, trying desperately to get the sounds out of his head, when someone nearly ran passed him in a blur. He looked up to see Kaiba, obviously angry, speed walking towards the kitchen before pausing in midstep. "Um, Kaiba?"
The brunette spun around to see Joey's best friend staring at him. "Where are those two friends of yours?" he demanded, trying to calm down somewhat. Joey wouldn't like it if he yelled at the only friend who didn't mind them being together.
"Mokuba's room… but before you go yell at them, I have to warn you now." He noticed he had gained Kaiba's full attention. "Your fans might attack Joey for stealing you from them. So how are you guys going to tell everyone? And also, Tristan and Tea are still mad that Joey didn't tell us how he really felt about you." Yugi spoke as calmly as he could though his body was slightly shaking.
"We haven't talked about it. In fact, it didn't even cross my mind. But thanks for telling me." The CEO said softly before making his way to his brother's room.
"You don't have to be so cruel to them!" Mokuba shouted angrily at the two.
"I don't care what you say or do! Joey's a good for nothing bastard!" Tristan yelled back, not noticing Tea slightly flinch.
"I'm curious to know how he's a good for nothing." A cold and sharp voice cut in.
Tea froze while Tristan gave the brunette a black look. "If he's gonna keep secrets from us, then he's a good for nothing!" the pointed brunette grit.
Kaiba glared back at him. "Doesn't everyone have the right to keep secrets? I'm sure you have secrets of your own." His little brother silently walked out of the room and shut the door. "If you can't accept the fact that we're together, then either stay out of his life or explain the real reason you're so angry."
"We don't want him to get hurt!" Tea blurt out, receiving a hard look from her friend and an unbelieving stare from the CEO.
"What makes you think I'd hurt him?"
"We have a hard time believing that you actually love him. You two have fought constantly. He'd always be pissed off for about an hour after you would call him a mutt or punch him when he'd annoy you. Plus, you would always tell him he was nothing or a third rate duelist that had no chance of beating him." Tristan sighed, his eyes focused on the carpeted floor.
Seto felt his anger deflate as regret over took him. "You have a point. But I never intended to be so mean. I had always carefully picked my words but instead hateful and cruel words came out. I suppose I never tried hard enough to say what I wanted but pain seemed to always fill my head when I saw him. I haven't even apologized to him yet for everything I did."
Tea visibly relaxed. "We'll apologize to Joey later today."
Seto just nodded before leaving the room to head back up to Joey. 'I know he won't forgive me immediately. I might have to earn it but I'll do whatever it takes.'
Joey sat up slowly, the sound of his father's ringtone constantly annoying him. He knew he hadn't been asleep for long; Seto's side of the bed was still warm. Grumbling as he grabbed his phone off the floor, he hissed a bit as his ass immediately felt like it was on fire. 'I don't think I'll be able to walk for a couple days.' He grinned before answering the phone. "Hello?"
It was silent for a second before his old man began yelling in his ear. "Where the hell are you, you little shit?! I've called you repeatedly and you didn't answer once!"
Glaring hatefully at the gray carpet, Joey said "I stayed the night with someone. I'm sorry for not picking up."
"Just you wait! When you get back here you're in for the beating of a lifetime!" he hung up, leaving Joey to continue sitting there, clenching his phone. 'I won't give that monster the pleasure of seeing my pain! I don't care what he does to me! All of it will be worth it!' He stood, picking up his shirt angrily and throwing it on.
"Joey?" the blonde looked up, relaxing a bit at seeing Kaiba's face. "Are you mad that I didn't keep my promise?"
Sighing heavily, Joey looked down. "No. I'm not mad at you. I'm just angry at my father. I have to go home but I'll try to be back in a few days. I know I'll see you at school but my dad's not very happy with me right now." He felt gentle arms wrap around his waist, pulling him in to the other's chest.
"I see…" Seto breathed in Joey's calming scent and said quietly "I'm sorry… for being so mean to you."
Joey's amber eyes widened before turning. "Don't sweat it. And besides I was also mean to you so I guess we're even." He gave a sad smile. "No matter how much I want to stay, I have to get going." He leaned in and gave his lover a deep and passionate kiss. "I'll see you most likely on Tuesday." He headed to the bedroom before stopping and looking back. He memorized every part of the room, staring into Seto's blue eyes a moment longer. He saw the love that the CEO held for him before finally walking out the door.
