Just Roll With It
Tristan's P.O.V.
Eighteen Years Ago…
"Joey, you are really good at this game, I can never beat you." I said smiling at my best friend.
"Well I told you to get Yugi's grandpa to train you, then you may actually stand a chance against me." Once it sunk in that we had gotten back on the topic we were trying to avoid, we both looked at each other. I figured I would be the man and start the conversation.
"Has he talked to you about losing his parents? Or how it is living with his grandpa?" Joey quietly shook his head. "Well it cannot be as awesome as living with his dad's best friend. If he was living with him, he would know more about what is dad was really like." I said and Joey smiled at me.
"I guess you are right; you do know more about me then my parents do." A great idea popped into my head and I grinned.
"We should make a pact, if either of us dies and leaves kids behind, the other has to take care of them. It is just what besties do right?" Joey smiled at me and we shook on it.
"It is a promise buddy." Joey said with a grin.
Present Day…
"I cannot believe you got married without me being there, it is bad enough that you did not even mention you were dating Kaiba!" I know I was over reacting but the guy was my best friend, and I really wanted to be at his wedding.
"I know I am sorry, Seto is way pushier then I thought. I mean I did start dating him, get engaged, and marry the guy within one week. Plus, you were with Duke…in Europe. I did not want to disturb you." I face palmed at Joey's ability to undermine anything big that happens to him.
"Really Joey? A business trip to Europe is more important than your wedding? We have been best friends for twenty-one years; I thought you would have learned by now." He was so rolling his eyes right now. "So, when does Kaiba want us to come out there to discuss adding Dungeon Dice Monsters to the curriculum?" Never thought I would see the day when I would be in business with Seto Kaiba.
"Well he wants to have the meeting at the end of the week, we are on 'vacation' right now. But, Tristan there is something else we need to talk about." Okay, by the sound of Joey's voice this was not going to be good.
"Great, you know how much I love that tone of voice." At least that got him to lightly chuckle.
"Well Seto wanted us to get all of the legal crap out-of-the-way now that we are married, and well…he wants Mokuba and Noah to take care of Mattie if anything happens to us." Oh hell no!
"Please tell me you told him no. Matt totally loves me more than Mokuba. I have known him since the day he was born, I am the obvious choice." There is no way Joey agreed to this.
"That is what I said, but Mattie has grown attached to Mokuba and Noah. Seto thinks that since there going to get married when their finished high school, that it would be better if he was with a married couple. So we finally agreed to let Mattie choose, and well he could not pick one of you over the other. So me and Seto made a deal, if you can get a boyfriend by the end of the week and show us that you guys are serious, then we will put off the choice." Wow, are you fucking kidding me!
"What! But I am not even seeing anyone." He could not be doing what I think he is.
"Well, maybe it is time to try it with Duke." Really he had to go there.
"You know Duke never goes for anything serious, plus, we work and live together. If things do not work out he could fire me, or worse, kick me out of his life." Crap I cannot believe this is happening…stupid Kaiba.
"I have total faith in my bestie, now I have a class to teach. Good luck. Miss you." I sighed.
"Miss you too, see you at the end of the week." I hung up the phone and paced the room for a moment. Then I sighed and took a deep breath before knocking on Duke's door.
"Hey can I come in? I need to talk to you about something." Please let him agree to help me.
"Yeah come in, doors unlocked." I walked into the room and he was lying on his bed shirtless, I felt my pants tighten.
"I need you to marry me." I said feeling my face get warm.
Duke's P.O.V.
"It is time for you to grow some balls and just take what you want already. That is what I did, and look how it turned out for me." I rolled my eyes.
"Do I need to remind you that I helped you 'adopt' that Puppy you love so much Seto? And I do not see you running to help me!" The knock on my door interrupted my usual bitch-fit. "Hey Tristan needs me, so I will see you at the end of the week." I ignored my best friends "like a kitten with yarn" remark and hung up the phone.
I tried to make myself look sexy…it was not hard, and then told him to come in. But his question broke my focus. "Huh?" I was not sure if I should run into his arms and confess my feeling, or make an appointment to get my ears checked.
"Well, Kaiba is making Joey name Mokuba and Noah as Matt's guardians if anything happens to them, and that is supposed to be my position. So, they agreed that if I have a stable boyfriend when I come to see them at the end of the week, then they will put the decision off. But I figured if we go there married, then they will pick us and put it in the will. Then we can get the marriage nulled, and they will be so sorry about the breakup that they will not both to change it." Just like that my hopes were crushed, then my phone buzzed and I looked down at my text.
Hope you like my 'thank you' gift ;) I got you started. Now turn into the wild kitten I know you want to be, and go get your yarn so I do not have to listen to you bitch anymore.
PS. You can thank me for my help later.
I do not know if I should kill him or thank him? "Of course I will marry you Tristan, but you know we should practice being more intimate with each other? You know, so they do not figure us out." Damn I am good.
"What do you me-." I pressed my lips to his and damn I enjoy playing with my string.
Tristan's P.O.V.
Hands down the best idea I have ever had. I wrapped my arms around Duke and enjoyed playing with my Kitten…wait Kitten? Fuck I am turning into Kaiba! When we pulled apart I was not sure what I should do. "So umm, should we go get rings?" Duke smiled at me which encouraged mini-me to keep 'rising the roof'.
"Sounds like a great idea, so when should we make you Mr. Devlin?" His smile turned into a smirk and mini-me was loving that even more.
"Why do I have to change my name?" I was really trying hard not to love the idea, but it if this were real I would be topping.
"Because my names the face of our business." Damn he had a good point…well I guess I will let him have this win.
"Fine, I will be Tristan Devlin." Duke smiled again and my heart constricted when I realized he was not really mine.
I sucked it up and left Duke alone to get dressed. Once both of us were ready we left to go ring shopping. If I had to pick the most girly thing about Duke it would be how much the man loves to shop, yet it only makes me love my Kitten more…damn I am getting attached. "What do you think?"
Duke's question got me out my own world. Suddenly, he was pointing at one simple silver band and a matching emerald engagement ring. Without thinking I picked the emerald ring up in one hand and gently slid it on my Kitten's finger.
Duke's P.O.V.
This has to be a dream. I cannot remember how many times I have wished he would put a ring on my finger. I seriously need to come up with a way to make this more permanent. "It is perfect for you. It matches your eyes perfectly." Tristen said with a warm smile.
All I could do was smile back. "Thanks Tristan, if there is one thing I know how to do, its shop."
Damn that was lame. While I was internally beating myself up for forgetting all of my moves, I noticed Tristan paying for the rings. I was about to intervene, since this ring looked like it cost a fortune, but he put his finger on my lips before I could open them. "Don't worry about it, Kitten. I would be a shitty fiancé if I did not buy my future husband his engagement ring."
"Kay." That's all I could say. Not only did he unleash a swarm of butterflies in my stomach but he called me Kitten, and I love it…Seto can never know. Before I could regain my mental stability, Tristan grabbed my hand and we walked to the car…it took everything I had not to kiss him.
Tristan's P.O.V.
It was dark by the time we got home. When we pulled into the garage I turned to look at my Kitten and he was asleep. I felt my heart constrict, I know this is a good plan but I underestimated how hard it would be on me. Putting that ring on his finger made the pain dull for a few minutes, just knowing that as long as he wore that ring, he is mine.
I decided to milk the situation for everything I could get, I cradled my new kitten in my arms and began to walk into the house. Once I had a good grip on him, he decided to snuggle into me and that is when I truly understood the phrase life sucks. It was more difficult than I anticipated carrying him to his bed, not because he was heavy, but because he was just so damn cute I wanted to bring him to mine.
Once I left Duke sleeping soundly in his bed, the pain hit me tenfold. Was I really doing this for Matt? Or was this some quick way to be with Duke? These questions kept swimming around in my head all night.
The Next Morning…
The loud pounding on the door woke me up. I was ready to kill someone, until I saw Duke with his bedhead, and then my grumpiness just melted away. "Are you expecting someone?" Duke shook his head. I opened the door and was met with my very pissed off best friend, and his irritated new husband.
"Hey Joey…and Kaiba. Why are you here so early? I thought you were on vacation?" Joey grabbed Kaiba by the hand and dragged him into the house.
"We are here because Seto got bored, and since he thought that the way we got together was so much fun, he figured he would test it on you guys." Me and Duke looked at Joey with confused faces.
Joey gave Seto a glare and whispered something in his ear that made Kaiba's eyes widen. Then finally he talked. "I was using the whole will thing to get you guys to date. After Joey told me that Tristan liked you Duke, I knew it would take push for you to make a move. So I got bored, because apparently eight times a day is to much, and decided to do some…charity work." I could not decide if I wanted to kill or thank him.
Joey face palmed and then told Seto to wait in the car. "So the good news is that because he was bad, I get to pick Mattie's guardian, and obviously the Job is yours." He said smiling. "I will talk to the lawyer and get the documents ready for tonight." Joey gave me a hug and whispered "Go get him" in my ear. He smiled and me, gave Duke a quick hug, and left.
I did not know what to say. I was too afraid that if I said the wrong thing I would lose him forever. "I guess my plans for tonight are set, the lawyer is going to need my signature." Damn I am so bad at this.
"And mine…that is, if you still want me? Because I have always wanted you and that is never going to change, I love you Tristan." I did not think, I was tired of thinking, I just pulled him into my arms, and kissed him like I would never get to again.
"Kitten, you are all I have ever wanted and I love you more than anything. I always have and I always will." I took his hand and got down on one knee "Duke Devlin, will you do me the honor of being my husband?" He quickly nodded and he was back once again where he belonged, in my arms.
"So Kitten, when would you like to get married?" I whispered in his ear.
He looked at me and smiled. "I have the perfect date." He said as he pulled me in for a kiss.
The Next Day…
Duke's P.O.V.
"Hello Duke, finally get you yarn?" Seto said chuckling over the phone.
"Aww Seto, worried I am better at getting my man then you are?" I said rolling my eyes.
"You wish, like I have said got my puppy in a week. There is no way in hell your beating that!" Seto said with an annoying amount of pride in his voice.
"Well Mr. Grow-A-Pair, I got my yarn in three days. You are starting to lose your touch." I began to laugh my ass off.
"You mean Tristan got you in three days. You are his kitten remember." Damn…
