Secrets

Disclaimer-I own nothing

Author's Note: Warning-mentions of abuse and rape

Its the 1st day of school after Yami left. Seto arrives early, as usual, to find Joey sleeping on a bench. Seto walks over and shakes Joey awake.

When Joey opens his eyes, Seto asks, "Why are you here so early?"

Joey says, "I'll tell ya once the rest of my friends are here."

A short while later, Yugi, Tea, and Tristan arrive.

Yugi asks, "Joey, why are you here so early?"

Joey says, "Its time I told a secret I've been keeping for years.

My dad abuses me when he feels like it.

I decided, if Yami had the guts to leave, so do I.

Last night, I packed all my stuff and spent the night on this bench."

Tea asks, "That's all you own?"

Joey only has a backpack and a gym bag.

Seto says, "You're not spending another night on a bench.

You can stay in a guest room in my mansion.

You can play with Mokuba and get paid for it."

Joey says, "Thanks, Seto!"

A month passes. Joey hasn't been this happy in a long time.

Neither has Mokuba or Seto, although Seto hides it.

Then, during homeroom, Joey is called to the principal's office.

The teachers and principal have noticed improvements in Joey's grades and his attendance. He's also sleeping less in class.

One morning, a police officer walks into the principal's office.

The principal asks, "What is your name?"

The police officer says, "My name is Detective Wheeler. I'm here to take my son home."

The principal says, "I have tried contacting you for years about parent/teacher conferences."

Detective Wheeler says, "I don't care about those. Don't know why he even comes to school. He's too stupid to graduate. I'm just here to punish my brat for not coming home for a while."

The principal says, "You can't take your son out of class unless its a family emergency. You can come back at the end of the school day."

Detective Wheeler says, "My shift starts in an hour and doesn't end until 5. Tell that worthless mutt, if he's not home when I get home, I'm coming to school tomorrow morning and dragging his ass home."

The principal says, "I can't allow that."

Detective Wheeler says, "I'm a cop. You can't stop me." Then he walks out.

The principal, unfortunately, knows this type of person. They use their authority to bully others.

The principal goes to Joey's homeroom.

The principal interrupts homeroom and says, "Mr. Wheeler, I need you to come to my office."

Joey, surprised, follows the principal to his office.

Joey says, "I didn't do nothing."

The principal says, "You didn't do anything. Your father came to my office this morning. He said you haven't been home in a while."

Joey says, "I've been staying with a friend."

The principal asks, "Joey, does your dad hit you?"

Joey says, "You saw he's a cop. Wouldn't do me any good to tell on him. A cop would never arrest another cop for disciplining his son."

The principal says, "Its not discipline when it leaves marks."

Joey asks, "Can I go back to class?"

The principal says, "You can."

Joey returns to class right before the bell rings.

Yugi asks, "Why did you have to go to the principal's office? You haven't done anything wrong."

Joey says, "My dad came to school. Finally noticed I haven't been home. He'll prob'ly be waiting for me when school gets out."

Seto says, "I won't let him lay a finger on you."

Tristan says, "None of us will."

Joey says, "Thanks, guys, but ya can't do anything."

Seto says, "Don't underestimate the power of money." 'Also, I always have a back-up plan.'

Seto says, "Joey, meet me on the roof during lunch."

Joey says, "All right."

Lunch time...

Joey and Seto meet on the roof.

Joey asks, "What did you want to talk about?"

Seto pulls a button off his collar and gives it to Joey.

Joey asks, "What's this?"

Seto says, "Its a one-way radio. Press it if you're in danger and Roland will hear what's being said." He doesn't mention that, thanks to his earbud, which he doesn't give Joey, so will he.

Joey suddenly presses his mouth against Seto's. After the initial surprise, Seto starts kissing him back. Joey breaks the kiss.

Joey says, "Thanks. Been wantin' t' do that for a while." Joey takes off. Seto follows at a slower pace.

After school...

Joey takes his time packing up. Seto and Joey walk out of the school together with Yugi, Tea, and Tristan hanging back.

Seto asks, "Where's your dad?"

Joey points at the police cruiser parked in front of the school.

Joey says, "That's his and his partner's car."

Tea asks, "Your dad's a cop?!"

Tristan asks, "Wasn't there a cop that arrested you all the time when you were in the gang?"

Joey says, "He claimed he was arresting me. He'd take me home and beat the shit out of me."

Seto says, "I can take care of this easily." Seto pulls out his cell phone and dials a number.

When the call is answered, Seto says, "Police Chief Sato, I need you to fire and have one of your officers arrested. A Detective Wheeler. His cruiser is currently parked outside Domino High."

Joey says, "His partner, too."

Seto says, "His partner, as well."

Police Chief Sato says, "Yes, sir."

While they are waiting for the other cops, Detective Wheeler walks up to them.

Detective Wheeler says, "Worthless mutt, so this is how you've avoided coming home the past couple weeks. You've been whoring yourself out to Kaiba's stepson, Kaiba Jr. Kaiba, you want to keep using him, you're going to have to start paying me for the privilege. Is he still tight or have you loosened him up?"

Joey is looking at the ground. Seto thinks, 'I'm never calling him a mutt again.'

Seto asks, "You rape your own son?"

Detective Wheeler says, "Not just me. Half the force of Domino has paid me to let them use his mouth or ass."

Seto asks, "Joey, is he telling the truth?"

Joey says, "I don't know. He'd drug me so I was out of it when others raped me. The only ones I know for sure are him and his partner."

Seto says, "Every word you said has been recorded. You and all the other cops that have raped Joey will pay for hurting him."

In a few minutes, the cruiser is surrounded by other cruisers. Detective Wheeler and his partner are arrested, put in the back of another cruiser, and driven off.

Seto says, "Like I said, don't underestimate the power of money."

Seto has Roland give all the police officers on Domino's force a lie detector test. Several other cops are forced to admit having raped Joey, although actually is less than a quarter of the force. All are fired, then arrested. By the time of the trial, all the cops are too scared of Seto to testify not guilty, except Joey's dad. Joey's dad gets shanked by another inmate and dies in prison before the trial. Seto tells Joey Gozaburo raped him and admits he has been seeing a therapist to deal with it. He offers to pay for Joey to talk to the same grades continue improving and he starts working part time at Kaiba Corp. He starts gaining confidence.

Joey admits, although he was raped many times, none of the guys kissed him, petted his hair, stroked his cock, or did any foreplay. They just raped his mouth or ass until they came.

Joey tells Seto he wants Seto to be his boyfriend. He wants Seto to kiss him, pet him, and make him cum. So Seto starts doing all those things Joey's rapists never did. It starts with just kisses and petting, then moves on to foreplay, then making Joey cum. Weeks pass before they actually have sex for the first time. The first time, Seto rides Joey until Joey cums. Months pass before Joey tries to ride Seto for the first time. Even longer before Joey tries giving Seto a blowjob.

On graduation day, Joey asks Seto to be his husband. Seto says yes. They live happily ever after.

THE END
