Finally I have the time to post this! I'm uploading these every Wednesday all throughout September. There are only four, for now, and I'm starting with the winner, 1st runner up, 2nd, then 3rd.

To be honest, I actually enjoyed this idea and had fun typing it! :D Here you all go! And it's a long one! :)


One-Shot Number 1: Puppyshipping (was given to Willowsnake)

PLOT: Joey suddenly has the ability to read minds. What kind of thoughts will he come across from his friends? And what kind of thoughts will he come across when he decides to read Kaiba's mind?

RATING: M for language, sex (a lemon my peeps!), and some sexual thoughts ;) (FYI-Marik is the Yami, Malik is the Hikari)


Joey sat down on the school's stairs just before the tardy bell would ring. He rubbed his eyes for the umpteenth time that morning, trying to get the sleep out of his eyes. He barely got some sleep last night. He pulled his math book out and tried to finish some of the problems that he didn't finish.

Where did I put my backpack?

Joey looked up and saw Yugi down the hallway, looking in his own locker. "Did Yugi ask me dat?"

Darn it! Did Bakura and Marik take it?

"Hey, Yugi!" Joey called out as Yugi turned to face him. "What's wrong?"

"I think my backpack got stolen."

Huh? Joey seemed a little confused.

"Do ya think ya know who took it?"

Yugi shrugged. "I think it was Bakura and/or Marik. You know how those two are."

"Yugi!" Yugi turned to see Yami walking towards him. "Did you find your backpack?"

He shook his head and sighed. "I'm sure you will find it." Yami assured as he rubbed Yugi's head.

And I'll start with finding Bakura first.

Joey blinked as he stared at the two of them. Do I have dat good of hearin'? He continued to stare until the bell starting to ring.

"We better get to class." Yugi mentioned as Yami and Joey nodded and walked into the first class, which was English.

Yugi and Yami moved to the other side of the room, deep in a conversation, as Joey sat close to the door. "I need ta get my homework done... How do I do dis, again?" He looked down at a problem and sighed.

Wow... Yami's looking good today.

Joey shot his head up and saw Tea in the doorway, walking towards the front of the room. "What?" He whispered as she smiled and sat down in her desk.

The way he walks, the way he talks, heck, even the way he takes care of Yugi: It makes me love him even more!

"What da hell is goin' on?" Joey talked to himself.

Why does Bakura have an evil look on his face? "Dat's Ryou," Joey turned to see Ryou and Bakura walking in, "and Bakura..."

If Yami comes to me first, I swear that Marik owes me twenty bucks. That will be enough money to take Ryou out on a date. Bakura blushed as he sat behind Ryou. But, I bet he doesn't even know that I love him... Maybe I should be more nicer to his friends... ...Yeah, no.

Am I goin' crazy or what?

Joey silently thought as he saw Marik, Malik, Duke, and Tristan walking in altogether, which was really unusual.

I bet Marik fifty dollars that Duke will confess his love to me today! God, I hope I don't lose that bet.

Dat's Tristan...

I smell fifty bucks in my pocket!

Dat's Marik, of course...

Why does Tristan have this look of greed on his face? Wished he shaved his chin...

Joey smacked his hand with his forehead. Duke. No question 'bout dat. But, why am I hearin' what dey are sayin'-

He then looked up at Marik as they made eye contact. That is never a good sign when you make contact with someone who has evil long ago and still can possibly be evil.

Damn it. I'm fucking late!

Joey's eyes shot to the doorway as Seto paced to his desk picking up speed.

"You're not late, Kaiba." Joey pointed out as he pointed to the clock. Seto turned his face towards the blond.

"I don't need comments from the peanut gallery." Seto called out as he sat in the corner of the room, very far away from the teacher's desk and the door itself. Joey put his math book away the moment the bell rang.

"Geez, what crawled up his ass and died?" Joey murmured as he rubbed his forehead. And, why da hell can I read everyone's mind? I'm gettin' one hell of a headache!

I wonder... Should I use the pink pen, or the blue one? Tea.

I had important stuff in that backpack, like my homework and lunch money...

Bakura's going to die. Also, I wonder what Yugi would like to have for dinner... Food, or me?

Duke needs to cut down on the eye-liner.

Tristan's giving me a look down. Is he hitting on me?

Did Malik finish that Psychology assignment? I didn't understand it one bit!

Marik is giving off an aura... I can't tell if it's good or bad...

Bakura... Why do you always have to be mean? Why pick on little Yugi? Ryou, for sure...

Damn it! Why won't Ryou look at me? I did get a haircut and a new jacket to show off my muscles! Bakura.

If I made Mokuba late, and those teachers say he was tardy... I'll make sure they are fired.

Joey sweatdropped at a few of the comments, especially Ryou's, Tristan's, and Seto's, to an extent. He put his head down on the desk and tried to eliminate everyone's thoughts, which was a difficult challenge.

"Mr. Wheeler," The teacher called to him as he looked up at the female teacher, Mrs. Ernst, "can you please tell the class what you did your paper on?"

Paper? Oh, right.

I bet he didn't even do it. I'm not surprised. The kid's like his father.

Joey got up from his seat, with his paper, and shoved it in the teacher's face. "Listen, Mrs. Ernst. I actually did my paper, I'm not like my father, and I think ya need ta retire."

Mrs. Ernst was wide-eyed. "Ah, uh, well, you don't need to read your paper today." She said with a smile as Joey turned back to his seat.

Did the mutt have a flea bath today? Probably why he's so pissed at the teacher.

Kaiba... Joey shook his head as the teacher called on other students to read their own paper.


"Joey!" Yugi called out as he caught up with the blond.

He slowly turned around. "What's up?"

"What's up? What was that?"

"Oh, dat little argument with da teacher? Well, she does need ta be fired. She is so old, she's taught my dad..." Joey murmured as Yugi nodded and helped Joey with his books.

"I agree, that she needs to retire," Yugi pointed out, "but you need to relax."

"You're right." Joey started to look around the hallway. "Do ya know where Malik or Marik is?"

Yugi nodded. "They should be down the hallway. Yami figured that Bakura took my backpack, which he did, and now he's confronting him. I'm sure one of them will be there."

"Thanks. I'll see you in Psychology." Joey waved bye as Yugi waved back. Walking down the hallway, he saw Yami confronting Bakura and Malik. He stopped suddenly when he saw Seto walking towards his way. He normally walked passed Seto as nothing was said between the two.

What the hell is he looking at?

Good ta know he's thinkin' 'bout me.

Joey didn't see that his shoelaces were untied, and fell five feet in front of Seto.

...Did he just tripped in front of me? Joey got up and wiped some dust off of his pants. I guess it's true what Duke said about him-

God, what doesn't Duke say behind my back?

-he does have a cute little ass.

Joey turned around to face the CEO as he walked passed the blond. "Watch where you're going, mutt. I don't want to pay for a broken paw."

Joey's mouth dropped a few inches as he couldn't believe what Seto just thought about him! Joey was still blinking and bent down to tie his shoelace.

What da hell? What da hell? What da hell was dat all 'bout? Joey started to think as his heart was beating rapidly. Did he just say, er, thought I had a cute ass?

"Now, I know you have Yugi's backpack. Just give it to me and no one gets hurt."

Joey walked towards the sound of Yami's voice as Bakura shrugged. "I did. It's in his next class. Ryou was begging me to be nice."

Yami raised an eyebrow. "Sure, and I'm straight."

"Are you playing with me?"

"Am I?"

"Damn it! Just give it a break. Can't I try to be nice?"

"Hey, Bakura!" Joey stomped into the scene as Bakura crossed his arms.

"What now?"

"What did ya do ta me?"

Bakura, this time, was raising an eyebrow himself. "What do you mean?"

"I can hear dese voices in my head! I can hear people thinkin'! It's fuckin' messed up!" Joey complained as Yami blinked.

"You...can hear...what we are thinking?"

Joey nodded as Yami put his head down, blushing profusely.

"So, you heard what I said in English?"

Joey nodded again. "I thought dat was kinda cute. Ask Yugi what he thinks." Yami glared up at Joey as he shielded himself with his books. "Sorry, I'll drop it."

"Listen," Malik walked up to Joey, "I told Marik it was a bad idea, and I mean a BAD idea."

"Was it some sorta spell?"

Malik nodded. "In a way. He was experimenting on some spells. A certain white haired albino-"

"HEY!"

"-gave him a book for his birthday. He just now decided to read it. So, while he was chanting this spell, I read the book while he was distracted. It said that the most popular super power people would like to have is to read minds. And well, he was bored, picked a person, and picked you. Now, you sort of have a super power.

"You can read minds-like your friends, family, etc.-and Marik is the only one who can get rid of it."

Joey grabbed Malik by his shirt. "GET RID OF IT!"

"Really? I thought that would be the coolest thing ever!"

"Malik..."

"Okay. I will try to talk to him and see if he will. If not...then you're screwed."

Joey glared Malik down hard. "Listen, I just heard dat Duke has a crush on Tristan, Yami wants Yugi ta devour him, and I heard Kaiba think I have a cute ass!"

Bakura crossed his arms. "Well...you do."

"Fuck ya all!" Joey threw Malik up at the lockers and went down the hallway, far away from the three of them. "I don't need 'em. I'll just go and confront da asshole myself!"

Joey, however, would have to wait until during lunchtime.


He grinned when he saw Marik walk into the hallway next to the Gym and the Cafeteria. "Perfect." Joey ran towards the yami and called out his name. "Hey, Marik!"

Marik turned around, with an apple in his hand, and stopped. "What do you want, Joey?"

Joey caught up to him and grabbed his shirt. "Listen, fix me!"

"I don't know. The blond hair is kind of cute, and I love how you get so flustered all the time."

"Dammit! I mean, make it where I can't hear people's thoughts anymore!"

Who told him?

"Malik. Besides, it wouldn't've been hard ta figure dat out. It would have been ya, or Bakura."

Marik shrugged as Joey gripped his shirt and pushed him towards a wall, right next to some stairs.

"What if I don't want to? What if I want you to suffer?"

Joey gulped. "Den I would beat ya ta a senseless pulp until ya did fix me."

Marik sighed and grinned without Joey knowing.

Who's bothering me? I'm trying to fix my computer and don't need this-

The thought stopped short. Joey blinked when he turned around to see Seto down the stairs, facing him.

"What are you both arguing about? Marik, did you not feed the mutt his bone?"

"Dammit Kaiba! Shut your damn mouth up!" Marik grabbed Joey's shirt, being distracted by Seto, and pushed him up against the wall. "Ah-"

"Now, I know that you heard Kaiba think something so embarrassing that you blushed." Marik grinned as Joey started to blush again.

"No, I didn't."

"Please. Your face says it all."

Seto crossed his arms. "What are you both talking about?"

Marik turned to the brunet. "I made blondie here be able to read minds all day today! He heard what you said about him, how you agree with Duke, that he has a cute ass."

Seto's eyes widen as Joey turned his head away from them both.

"Also, I made it where I can read yours and Joey's mind only."

Joey looked at Marik. "You've read our minds?"

Marik laughed. "Yes, and I loved the little arguments you had inside your head. It makes you even more cuter." He put his hand on Joey's cheek as Seto walked up one stair on the long staircase. "Let's see, in your Spanish class, you and I heard Seto think, I wonder...What would happen if I gave the mutt a bone? Would he kill me? And you thought, Yes."

Joey turned his head away from Marik and Seto, again.

"Oh, yes, in your Psychology class, Seto was thinking, I want to slap that mutt's ass so hard that he will want more! And you, Joey, were thinking, The only thing he'll be slapping is the hard floor. Am I right, or am I right?"

"Shut it, Marik!" Joey yelled as his heart was beating fast once again.

"Oh, but now, I just love how you are thinking, What is Marik going to do to me? Why is Seto here? Wait, why did I call him Seto? Do I lo-"

"Shut your damn mouth!" Joey yelled as Seto walked a little closer to them.

"And I just love Seto's thoughts coming in right now," Marik laughed uncontrollably, "Was he going to say love? My mutt...loves me? And after all that shit I've said and done to him." Marik smiled as he turned to Seto. "What would you do if I happen-" Marik turned to Joey and leaned his face closer to his, "-to kiss him?"

Joey was paralyzed, for the first time in his life, in front of Seto, as Seto dropped his briefcase on the stairs and was only a couple feet away from them.

"If you kiss him, I swear that I will kill you." Seto threatened, his eyes blazing with fire.

"Oh? I would like to see you try." Marik quickly threw his lips upon Joey's. Joey's eyes grew and he closed his eyes. He wished this was really a dream, that Marik wasn't the one kissing him, but that Seto was. He didn't care what Seto thought about him, just that this was all a dream.

Marik pushed Joey's head to the wall roughly and then watched his lithe body fall to the ground. Marik laughed harder and louder so that everyone could hear him. Seto ran up to the psycho and threw a punch at him, right in the stomach. Marik was bent over, clenching onto the railing for support.

"Damn...it."

Seto leaned down to Joey's body, seeing his eyes were closed and tears were falling down. "Wheeler?"

He didn't respond but let even more tears fall down. Seto turned his eyes to Marik and threw a nasty punch right on his cheek. Marik fell onto the stairs, clenching his side. Within seconds, everyone, excluding Tea, Tristan, Duke, and Ryou, were right next to Seto's briefcase.

"Joey! Kaiba!" Yugi called out as he ran up to his friend. "What happened?"

Seto turned to Malik and stared hard at him. "You psycho boyfriend just kissed Joey and I punched him. I hope you punish him, cruelly."

Yami walked up the stairs, looking at Joey's body. Bakura and Malik walked up to Marik, and Seto stopped at Joey's body.

"What's wrong with him, Yami?" Yugi asked softly.

Yami tried to open Joey's eyes, but nothing. "Hmm... He might be in shock... Or probably just sustained a slight concussion. I have no idea. He might need to go to the nurse's station..."

Seto grabbed Joey and was now in Seto's arms, in a bridal position. Seto turned back to Yami and Yugi with Joey's head in the nook of his shoulder.

"Yugi, take my briefcase to Mokuba. He's in the computer lab, for the middle schoolers." Yugi nodded and went to picked up the light briefcase. "Yami-"

"Yeah, I know." He walked up to them and smiled. "You better do what's right."

Seto nodded and walked down the staircase and far away from the nurse's station, even though Joey was bleeding a little. He grabbed his cell phone and called for someone. "It's me. I need to be picked up. I have a certain someone with me..."


Joey slowly opened his eyes, his eyes feeling like they were dead weights. He blinked several times and noticed he was in a very dark blue room.

"Where da hell am I?"

"In my room."

Joey turned to see Seto leaning against the wall, like he was Leon from Kingdom Hearts, which he wasn't, as he walked towards Joey. He sat up and instantly his hand shot up to his head.

Joey gasped. "A bandage?"

"Yes. A certain psycho from Egypt knocked your head pretty hard against the wall."

Joey closed his eyes, slowly remembering everything that had happen today. Seto just looked at Joey who suddenly put his head down.

"I'm sorry..."

"For what?"

"Dat ya had ta take me here, ta your place, in your bedroom, nonetheless."

Seto shrugged. "I just didn't want your sister or Yugi to freak out when they saw the blood. Besides," Seto sat down on the edge of the bed and grinned, "I'm happy that you didn't get to read everything in my head."

Joey frowned as he tried to listen to Seto's thoughts.

I...to touch...and see...he'll...when I...him...

"I'm barely gettin' anythin'." Joey announced as Seto grabbed his hand and gripped it.

"Wonderful."

Within seconds, Joey was on his back, again, as Seto was on top of him.

"What are-?"

"You know that comment Duke said about you, and how I agreed?" Joey nodded. "I also think that you have the most...naive personality in the world, next to Yugi. I want to be able to get rid of that naiveness inside of you..."

"Kaiba-"

"I hate that name. Just...call me Seto..." He leaned his lips towards the blond's own soft ones. Joey's heart was beating a million times faster than before. Now, I must be dreamin'.

Slowly and steadily, Joey closed his eyes, embracing for the impact. However, when he didn't feel any contact, he opened his eyes. "S-seto?"

"Your head."

Joey shook his head. "It's okay! We'll nurse it back ta perfect condition! Just a quick kiss on my forehead and da pain'll-" Joey covered his mouth with his hands as Seto smiled.

"I love it when you blurt out the words that make me want you even more..."

LEMON

Joey raised an eyebrow as Seto tilt his head towards the blond, once again, and planted his lips upon the blond's. Joey's eyes slowly closed, his hands on Seto's back. Seto pushed his tongue through Joey's lips and started to explore the wonders of that cavern. Joey let out a soft moan in the process as Seto-in a millisecond-removed Joey's shirt and was thrown to the ground. Joey shivered at the temperature in the room. Seto grinned and kissed every goose-bump that showed on the blond's neck, chest, shoulders, arms, you name it.

"It's too cold in here... And your hands don't help either." Joey pointed out. Seto played with Joey's neck, leaving a nice, but small hickey, proclaiming that he was his.

"Then melt the cold with your body's heat." Seto whispered seductively to the blond as he landed a fast one on Joey's lips again.

Joey was in an everlasting bliss, nirvana perhaps. While floating between reality and the dream world, Seto easily removed Joey's garments-pants, shoes, socks (not in that order)-and Seto removed his own as well. They were both left in their boxers, and Seto stopped kissing Joey to bring him back to this world. Joey's face was as red as a rose, Seto was just as cool as a cucumber.

"Seto..." Joey called out as he reached for him. Seto grabbed his hand and kissed every knuckle upon that hand.

"I want to make you mine. I want to undo the pain that has been inflicted on you." Seto murmured as he lowered his face towards the red boxers that belong to Joey. "I want you to be able to feel what I feel every time I see you."

I...tell...I...you...

Joey closed his eyes as he tried to focus on Seto's mind. Nothing was working, and with Seto removing the only garment on the blond, nothing was going to work. Joey's erection was straight up, facing Seto. His lips turned from a frown to a grin without Joey even knowing.

I'm going to make you come.

Joey opened his eyes the moment Seto started to rub up and down on his shaft. Over and over, Joey was moaning Seto's name in the moonlit room.

"S-seto... Feels...good..." He moaned as Seto started to pick up the speed, and then slowed down once again. And repeating that two more times. Joey was getting furious. "Either ya let me come or-"

Joey's breath caught in his throat when Seto put his mouth over the heated member. Seto was giving him a blowjob, and an amazing one. Joey gripped the sheets, calling out Seto's name over and over. "Keep goin'...Feels-AH!" Within seconds, Joey came within Seto's mouth. Seto swallowed every drop and licked his lips. He looked like he was ready to eat Joey whole.

"Your voice... It makes me want to come..." Seto admitted as he took off his own boxers. Now, both men were exposed, naked, and horny. "Let me take you, Joey."

He said...my real name. No nickname, no last name, just my first name.

Joey closed his eyes, trying not to cry himself, as Seto grabbed something from his nightstand and rubbed it on his fingers. "Turn on your stomach."

Joey nodded and obeyed Seto's order. Seto kissed Joey's back, almost every single place, as he stopped at the rear. "Are you ready?" Joey nodded. Taking a deep breath, Seto put one finger in. As he predicted, Joey was already in pain. He yelled into a pillow, trying to not scream or anything else. Without a warning, Seto placed a second one in. Joey gripped the sheets, again, as Seto thought, to himself and Joey, I won't hurt you. Tell me when to stop.

Joey shook his head. "I...It feels...wonderful...amazin'... Don't stop 'cause...of me..."

Seto nodded and slowly inserted a third finger. Joey gulped and moaned in sheer ecstasy. Seto looked at Joey, his eyes closed and his face a light shade of red this time. Seto removed the fingers as Joey grabbed Seto's hand and nodded.

"Do it."

Seto instinctively turned red at those two words. "Really?"

"Seto, if ya don't, I'll go ta someone else-"

Seto kissed Joey's lips, one more time, and smiled. "I love you, and no one else is going to touch you. I promise."

It was Joey's turn to blush red. Joey smiled, and with a tear falling from his face, he simply said, "I love you, too. Go ahead."

Seto nodded and got in front of Joey's entrance. Seto gulped as he looked at Joey. I love you. He entered Joey and within seconds, Joey was moaning. Seto didn't know if it was in pain, ecstasy, or both, but he was seriously turned on.

"Seto... Do it... I-I'm not... in pain."

Seto started going in and out slowly. He wanted the first time to be slow, easy, and safe. As Joey was moaning Seto's name, Seto was moaning Joey's name once or twice.

"You are so...damn...tight, puppy!"

Joey grunted an "I know" as Seto gripped Joey's hips.

"Go faster... God, Seto!"

Seto obeyed the one he loved and did as he was told. He picked the pace up. Joey was grunting out Seto's name.

"J-joey... Oh, God, puppy!" Seto yelled as he picked the pace to max. Joey was seeing stars every time Seto touched the right spot.

"I-I'm gonna come, Seto!" Joey called out. Seto grunted as he kept the pace up and kept hiding Joey's prostrate over and over. "Seto, ah-Gonna come-"

"Me too, puppy-"

"AH!" Joey came all over the sheets below him, and not a few seconds later-

"Ugh!" Seto came inside of Joey, his seed all over them both. Joey collapsed on the sheets and pillows in front of him, and Seto pulled himself out. He laid next to his puppy and put his arms over the blond's body.

"Dat...was da most...amazin' thing next ta..."

"Next to what, Joey?" Seto asked as Joey turned around to face the brunet.

"Next ta ya bein' born, Seto." Joey winked as Seto put his head down and started to blush a deep red.

"God, do you know how sexy you can be with just saying a few words?"

Joey smiled and nodded. "I know. Dat's why ya find me irresistible."

"Right, right." Seto pulled Joey into a strong embrace.

"So," Joey pulled Seto's bedsheets over them (somehow), "do ya think dis power will be gone?"

"You reading minds?" Joey nodded. "Honestly, I hope not. I would like it if you could read my mind." Seto leaned towards Joey's face. "You would know what I need and want at any given time."

I want you, Joey.

"Damn it, Seto! Don't use my powers like dat!"

Oh, I also want a sandwich. Can you go get the mayo?

Joey raised an eyebrow. "Why mayo?"

So I can eat you all up. Screw the bread and the turkey, I have you.

"SETO!" Joey groaned as he tried to get out of the bed, but the brunet wouldn't have it.

"Listen, you are going to be one sore puppy in the morning. If I was you, you better relax now, or take a bath now." Seto explained as Joey blushed.

"Fine. I'll relax in your arms."

"See? I knew you would listen to me."

"Yeah, whatever." Joey murmured as Seto closed his eyes, and Joey did, too.

Within minutes, both of them were asleep. Joey was dreaming about food and Seto while Seto was dreaming about Joey and Mokuba. That maybe, for once in his life, he'll actually be happy. He might have to thank Marik once all this drama was over.

That is, IF he ever forgives me. I probably broke his nose... Seto thought as Joey snuggled up to his dragon and fell into a deep sleep. Seto watched his puppy sleeping as he smiled.

That morning, Joey suddenly lost his power. He couldn't hear what Seto, nor anyone else, was thinking. Seto was disappointed, but Joey was thanking God (or Marik) for reversing this ordeal. But, even though he had the power, it felt like Seto was the hero, that he was the one who was able to protect him from anything evil.

Joey smiled and grabbed Seto's hand as they walked into school the next morning. Perhaps, Joey thought, Seto protects me from anythin', and everythin', in our way. A guardian, in simplest terms, was what Joey concluded about Seto in one word. That, and also a wonderful lover in bed.


I thought the last paragraph was cute. But that might be just me. And that part in the middle...very weird, eh? I think that Marik was just a little on the cuckoo side. (Probably made him that way since I saw Cuckoo's Nest... -_-)

Anyways, next week is PUZZLESHIPPING, and I've started on it.

Please review and maybe after this is all over, I might even do more one-shots. :)
