Full Description: Seto Kaiba, cold and ruthless but seems to be unable to escape the clutches of peer pressure to join his fellow CEO's when they hold "meetings" once a month at bars. During one particular night, the CEO's decide to help Kaiba release some stress by arranging for him to be onstage and get a special performance by a stripper who turns out to be Joey Wheeler. What will come of this encounter? What will Kaiba do with this new found knowledge?
Reviews would be wonderfully appreciated and might help give me the motivation to keep on trekking until the end of this fic.
Warning: Rated M for a reason, this is Yaoi (guy on guy).
Ring. Ring. Riiing.
Seto Kaiba let out a soft yet agitated sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyebrows furrowed down like he had the beginnings of a migraine settling in. Having an troubling premonition that he knew exactly who was on the other line and exactly what they wanted, those piecing cerulean orbs of his glared daggers at the phone sitting atop his desk as if his glare would make the ringing stop.
Ring. Ring. Riiing.
No. Such. Luck. With a growl, his hand shot out and he answered the damn phone.
"Kaiba speaking," the brunette snapped briefly, deciding at the last second not to just snap his usual "What?"
"Ah Seto Kaiba, charming as ever I see," Akisato Musashi purred, the most recent influential CEO in Japan, greeted in return from the other line, his tone as thick as honey. A voice which never failed to set Kaiba's nerves on edge. As far as the brunette was concerned, Akisato could be Pegasus' long lost brother with how similar their mannerisms were.
"What is it you called for?" Kaiba questioned curtly, cutting right to the chase as always.
"It's that time again, lovely Kaiba-sama. Time for us to go out and have a meeting at a new bar we discovered the other day. It's so great, it has-"
"Alright, give me the time and location and I'll be there," Kaiba snapped as he cut off the incessant ramblings of Akisato. He knew from previous experiences that he wouldn't be able to get out of joining the other CEO's on their monthly little "meetings" that were actually more like simply hanging out and getting drunk. He also knew from past conversations just how much Akisato loved to prattle on and on.
Akisato quickly related the time and location of the club and managed to get in a "Can't wait to see you tonight Kaiba-sa-" before the brunette quickly hung up on him. With a chuckle, Akisato mused on how fun that night was going to be.
Within a few hours since receiving that phone call from Akisato Musashi, Kaiba had completed his homework and a good portion of his work for the day from his office then headed home to get ready.
Upon shutting and locking the door behind him once the brunette was home, Kaiba was greeted by the sight of his little brother coming towards him from the living-room with a radiant smile plastered on his features.
"Seto, welcome home! How was your day?" Mokuba asked as he embraced his older brother around the waist and smiled wider when Seto returned the hug.
"Day was fine until Musashi called and told me we have a meeting tonight," Kaiba all but grumbled, a side he only revealed to his little brother on occasion.
"Oh fun, I know how much you love going to those meetings," Mokuba said sarcastically but the look in those big amethyst eyes as they gazed up at his brother was full of sympathy. "Wish you didn't have to go to those meetings. Then maybe we could spend some time together," he added quietly and was soothed by his brother's soft smile.
"I know Moky, I wish I didn't have to go either but then I would never hear the end of it. I'll make sure to take you out sometime this weekend and we can hang out then, alright?" Seto asked with another warm little smile and watched as Moky nodded excitedly. With that, Kaiba ate a quick snack with Mokuba while listening to what his little brother's day was like at school, then excused himself so he could take a shower and get ready.
An hour later, Kaiba was cleaned up and perfectly disguised like he always did every time he was coerced into frequenting bars once a month with the other CEO's. He didn't give a damn if the others didn't care about their reputations, but he desired to uphold his own rep with the utmost care. The brunette's rep already labeled him as a 'ruthless asshole', he didn't want to add 'drunken pervert' to that title.
Sporting a short black wig and green contacts, Kaiba wore his usual black leather pants and a short sleeved black shirt to match. Though during these bar meetings, the brunette avoided wearing any coats or jackets despite how naked it made him feel, since one of his big trademarks was his jackets. Gathering what he wanted to take with him for the night, Kaiba made his way downstairs and was once again greeted by Mokuba, who most likely wanted to see him out.
"Looking quite dashing Seto, the look really suits you," Moky complimented with a big smile. "I know you wouldn't get drunk, but you should try to cut loose every once in awhile and mingle. With your disguise it's not like anyone will recognize who you are, you could even have fun and pretend to be someone you're not for a night," Mokuba suggested brightly, obviously thinking his idea was brilliant.
"It is a good idea Mokuba, but there's one flaw and that's that there is going to be people there who I know, the CEO's. But even if I was to go out bar hopping by myself, I still don't think I can push back my pride and act like someone I'm not," Kaiba replied after thinking upon it momentarily.
Mokuba let out a little laugh. "So true. Well, at least try to have a little fun Seto. I'll be asleep by the time you get home but if anything happens and you need to talk about it, just wake me up, ok big brother?" Mokuba said intently as he peered up and met the brunette's eyes.
"Alright, Moky. Sweet dreams and I will see you in the morning," Seto agreed with a little smile and headed out the door.
"Stay safe, bro!" Moky called as he waved Seto off, watching the brunette get into his care and drive off.
Carefully following the directions that he received from Akisato, it wasn't long until Kaiba pulled into an area in downtown Domino, an area that was dangerously close to the Red Light District. 'What am I getting myself into?' Seto mentally chided himself as he got out and locked his car. Walking a few blocks into an even more risqué section of town, Kaiba finally located the name of the establishment that he was meeting everyone in and a deep frown settled across his features. It was more then just a bar, it was a ….. strip club.
Just as Seto Kaiba was turning around to leave, he bumped into Akisato, who wrapped an arm around his shoulders with a wide smile and dragged him into the club. There was no escaping this time around. As the brunette was led through the writhing crowd on the dance floor and to the booth near the far left side of the stage where all the other CEO's were seated, Kaiba silently swore that he was going to invest in new disguises so that even these guys he was trapped with wouldn't be able to recognize him so easily. 'Or here's an idea. Why don't I grow a pair and get them off my back for good about not dragging me along to these supposed meetings and wasting my time.'
Once they arrived to the group's table, Kaiba shrugged out of Akisato's clutches and sat down on his own accord at the end of the table, glowering at everyone with his icy stare of hatred.
"Come on, Kaiba-san, don't be like that. We do this for your own good! What better way to discuss business together than at such a glorious entertainment establishment where we can have a nice drink and blow off some steam," one of the members stated and gulped down the rest of the alcoholic contents of his glass before ordering another round.
"Which from how grumpy you've been lately, more so then usual anyways, I'd say you could blow off a lot of steam," another chimed in and the group laughed. All of them seemed to find this situation humorous except Seto Kaiba. Honestly, he wanted to turn tail and run but his pride wouldn't allow that, so the brunette stayed but refused to eat or drink anything.
Kaiba managed to get some coherent business talk from the group of already seriously tipsy CEO's but quickly gave up after the random case of ADD everyone seemed to develop when they had alcohol in their systems. So there Seto Kaiba continued to soberly sit and seethe, that is…until his growing sense of impending doom had finally arrived.
Kaiba remembered vaguely hearing the club's DJ announce that it was time for the show to begin and that's when Akisato and another CEO pounced on him, blind-folding him and tying his hands behind his back before the brunette even knew what was happening to him.
"You are going to be one of the stars of the show up onstage, Kaiba-sama. Beforehand we arranged it all with the club manager. We all agree that you need to blow off some steam and we're all kind enough to arrange it for you. All you need to do is sit there and go with the flow," Akisato purred into Kaiba's ear and then they led him up onstage and sat him down in a chair where they proceeded to tie his already tied wrists to the chair so he wouldn't be able to get up and walk away.
'I am going to fucking murder these bastards,' Kaiba growled mentally as he listened to them abandon him blindfolded and tied up onstage. The unfortunate CEO had no idea what was going to happen to him but he was fearing the worst, his breathing already speeding up to just about match the thrum of the melodic music that started to fill the club. Kaiba hated not being able to see what was happening but he had a feeling that the stripper had made his appearance onstage by the uproar the crowd made, all that hooting and clapping. Trying not to be overly obvious about his actions, Kaiba started attempting to free his wrists from their bonds but it seemed futile.
As Kaiba sat there, he felt the stripper's presence. He felt the heat of the person's body and heard the clinks from the outfit; the light steps of dancing and the other's breathing. It was getting hard to hear anything past the thumping music and his own pulse beating wildly in his chest. Even though the brunette knew it was coming, Kaiba still jumped when he felt the stripper touch him. Normally, he would snap at anyone who dared to touch him without permission but at the moment the brunette couldn't seem to find his voice. As the stripper proceeded to straddle his legs and dance against him, Kaiba's breathing sped up even more to where it seemed like he would hyperventilate.
How was he supposed to be enjoying this? If it wasn't for his pride, Kaiba might even admit to himself that it was…fear that he was feeling at the moment.
Seeming to realize that his customer was so panicked that he couldn't enjoy what was happening to him, the stripper took off the blindfold. The first thing Kaiba saw when the blindfold dropped was familiar warm, brown eyes then the familiar blond, messy hair. Cerulean eyes widened in shock as he realized the person grinding in his lap was none other then the mutt. Joey fucking Wheeler was a stripper. Kaiba was frozen in shock as he took in the sight before him. Wheeler had his hair brushed down and unstyled so unless you were as close to the blond as Kaiba currently was, you wouldn't really be able to tell exactly that it was Joey Wheeler.
Somewhere during the time that Kaiba was still blindfolded, Joey had taken off his shirt so as he danced in front of the brunette CEO, Kaiba could see every muscle ripple under Wheeler's tanned, taut skin. The way his stomach circled around and the way his hips undulated seemed to effect the brunette in a weird way. Kaiba felt his body start to heat up as he watched the mutt dance as if in heat. As Wheeler grinded down against Kaiba's crotch, the brunette took notice of how tight his pants felt and apparently Joey took notice as well, for he smirked and a lustful look entered those brown eyes.
As if the world narrowed down to just the two of them, feeling like they were alone in a bedroom and not in a club with people screaming in excitement, Joey took it to a level he almost never did with customers onstage. Continuing to grind his body to the beat, Joey stared down at Kaiba like he wanted to jump his bones right then and there, he sensually ran his hands along Kaiba's chest. Smiling as he felt just how rapid the brunette's pulse was, Joey scraped his nails over Kaiba's nipples and took pleasure in seeing the guy arch and let out a breathy gasp. Leaning forward Joey whispered into the brunette's ears so sensually, "You have quite a sensitive body, don't you?" then chuckled as he saw pink tint the cheeks of the person beneath him.
The screaming of the crowd's excitement became so loud that it seemed to snap Joey back to his senses and he got back to his strip show, still doing a lot of dancing and grinding against Kaiba but not as much touching. Finally, what seemed like an eternity, the song ended. As the curtains closed, Kaiba watched as Wheeler walked over to him and freed his wrists from the chair.
"Sorry about what happened onstage, I got a bit carried away," Joey said, scratching the back of his head and letting out a little nervous laugh.
"Don't worry about it," Kaiba said quietly, changing his voice slightly so Wheeler wouldn't recognize who he was. That was the last thing he wanted to happen after everything that went on tonight. So, without another word, Kaiba turned and started to head towards the exit.
"W-wait!" he heard Wheeler exclaim before a hand wrapped around his wrist and stopped him.
Kaiba turned around, forcing himself to slowly take his wrist back instead of yank it away like he instinctively wanted to do. "What is it?"
"D-do you think…..can I…can I maybe have your number?" Joey asked awkwardly, cheeks flushing a bright pink in embarrassment.
Kaiba thought about how he should respond before finally deciding on what he wanted to say. "I will come back to this club if I want to see you again."
And with that, Kaiba left out the back exit of the club, that way he could avoid the drunken bastards who dragged him into this whole mess, and headed back to his car. Trying his hardest to keep his mind blank for the while, Seto Kaiba started the car and drove straight home.
Later that night, Seto Kaiba lay wide awake in bed while staring up at the ceiling; deep in thought when he should have been focusing on trying to get to sleep since he had school early tomorrow. But how could he possibly fall asleep when his mind was still on overload from everything he'd just witnessed? Kaiba had soon come to realize that he had a few imposing things he needed to analyze about himself as well.
First off was the question he had as to why Wheeler had become a stripper. Was he that pressed for money? Had something bad happened to him recently? Did his friends know? Hmph. The brunette could probably answer that last question on his own with almost absolute certainty. Kaiba bet Wheeler was keeping it a secret so his friends wouldn't worry about him, because there was nothing they could do to help the mutt even if they Did know. Not that he cared about any of this, Kaiba was just merely curious as to why Joey was a stripper. Did Joey do more than just strip if the customer was willing to pay?
With that last question the brunette had thought of, images rushed unbidden through his mind of himself paying for Joey's services and it reminded him of just how painfully aroused his body still remained. Which brought him around to what he needed to analyze about himself. The first matter was the question about his sexuality: was he gay? And the second question was if he was attracted to the mangy blond. As much as he tried to rationalize it or to ignore it, his own body made it painfully obvious that whether he was gay or not…he held some sort of attraction for Joey. Even after finally admitting that fact to himself, the brunette was far from willing to admit it out loud or to anyone else, Especially to the blond in question.
Thinking that he would finally be able to get some sleep after calming his mind enough, Kaiba continued to toss and turn in bed for about twenty more minutes until he growled in agitation and he resigned to his fate. The brunette found it was impossible to ignore such a raging hard on and sleep. Letting out another irritated growl, Kaiba decided to take care of his problem in the shower, consciously giving himself permission to let his mind run wild just this once.
Thirty minutes later Kaiba was back in bed and finally starting to drift into slumber land. His last thoughts were along the lines of how good it felt to give in to his desires, but it was going to make his confrontation with Joey Wheeler all the more awkward tomorrow.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter :)
