Um, this is my first time writing something like this. I had a dream about it so I decided to make it a story. Please be gentle and remember it's my first time with this kind of story.

There will be minor character death, major bullying, rape, depression, and mpreg.

All he could do was smile weakly at the little bundle in his arms as he took in the newborn's appearance: a few brown locks of hair sticking up from his head; honey-brown eyes; small button nose; a diamond shaped face; and a tiny pink tongue that popped out once in awhile, causing his mother to laugh lightly.

He was surprised that after months of depression while pregnant, the baby still came out healthy. When he first saw his son, he immediately began crying, immediately changing his mind to giving him up for adoption. "There's no way I can give you up now… even if your daddy did this to me. I'll protect you from him and anyone else who might try hurting you." He could feel tears run down his cheeks as the memory of being hurt – physically, mentally and emotionally – came back, filling his head with fear.

1 ½ years earlier

It was near the end of August when Joey, only 16, was finally free of his abusive father. The usually drunken man died of alcohol poisoning. His friends seemed a tad sad for him but the blonde was happy his old man was gone. It meant no more beatings, no more bottles thrown at him and no more venomous words being tossed his way. At least that's what he thought until Monday came around and a stuck up CEO crossed his path.

"Watch it mutt!" Seto Kaiba frowned as Joey accidentally bumped into him.

Joey glared at him, his teeth grit. 'I forgot there was one other person who also degraded me.' "It's not like I wanted to run into you! And I'm not a mutt, you filthy bastard!"

Smirking, Seto replied with "I take that as a compliment." He walked off with a smug look on his perfect face.

Growling, Joey was about to run after him but was immediately pulled back by his blue uniform. "God dammit Atem!" he swung around towards the tri-colored hair teen. "Why do you and the others stop me from pummeling him?"

Atem sighed and looked away as his boyfriend of two years spoke up. "We all know how much you hate Kaiba but you keep letting him get to you." Yugi calmly said, his large violet eyes filled with worry. Yugi nearly looked exactly like Atem but there were a few differences in their appearances. Yugi had large eyes and was much shorter while Atem had smaller yet somewhat narrowed eyes and was nearly a foot taller. Their attitudes were different as well: Yugi was calm and happy most of the time while his boyfriend seemed… dangerous at times but held back due to Yugi's comforting and sometimes cruel antics.

"Whatever…" Joey mumbled as Tea, Tristan and Duke finally arrived. "Let's just get to class so I can get the day over with."

The brunette sat at his desk, typing furiously on his laptop as he ran his company and ignored what the teacher was talking about. He didn't know why he had bothered to go to high school. It was a waste of his time. He paused for a moment and carefully looked back a few seats in the row next to him. 'Figures Wheeler would be sleeping. But that's what dogs do.' He held back a laugh just as the bell rang, signaling the end of third period. The brunette stood, not closing his laptop, and dodged anyone who would want to bump him on his way out the front door. He had a company to run and didn't need the last three classes. Hell, he didn't even need his first three! But then again, if he didn't go to any of his classes, he'd be removed from the only job that supported him and Mokuba.

The next four months passed by like usual and it was finally December: Joey trying to start fights with Kaiba, the teachers yelling at the blonde and giving him detention and him laughing and playing around with his friends. But something decided to ruin everything.

He'd received a call telling him his little sister and mother had died in a car accident. They had been hit by a driver that had been high and drinking. Joey's whole life came crashing down on him at the news. He broke down crying, unable to answer the caller. 'I can't believe it. I lost the last of my family.'

The next few weeks were torture. Joey had to take care of his mother's and Serenity's funeral. He ended up deciding it was cheaper just to have their ashes instead of burying them. He'd feel close to them if their ashes were with him but it still wouldn't be the same. On top of that, the bastard CEO was even crueler to him than normal yet the blonde didn't argue or fight back. He was too depressed to do anything. He missed school constantly, his once honey-brown eyes were dull and lifeless, and he barely hung out with his friends.

Whenever he did attend school, he could see how pissed Seto was but he didn't think about it. In fact, he barely thought about anything anymore. It was only then after a month of receiving his family's ashes did Seto do something…

Joey had finally finished cleaning up his dinner when someone knocked on the apartment door. Slowly, he answered it, thinking it was one of his friends again. Oh, how wrong he was. He had only opened the door a few inches when it was bust open, knocking him on to his back.

"Stand up!" A cruel voice made the blonde sit up. He was staring at Seto Kaiba who was glaring down at him with that same pissed off look.

"Why?" Joey's eyes were still glazed over with depression.

He didn't know why he was so pissed off at the blonde but just seeing him sitting there with those eyes staring into his made him even angrier. Seto did the next thing he thought of: he stormed up to the teen and yanked him to his feet, dragging him into the living room and throwing him onto the couch.

"What do you want? I'm too tired to argue. I'm tired of everything." Joey whispered before a fist collided with his face. He felt the pain but didn't do anything. 'Do I deserve this? Probably.' Another blow landed on his cheek but again he didn't do anything. He could hear Seto breathing heavily as he continued punching the blonde. 'How many times has he punched me now? I wasn't counting but I don't really care.'

The brunette finally stopped. He was here to snap the blonde out of his depression but beating him up had done nothing. "Worthless, pathetic mutt!" he muttered as he looked over the other's face. Blood poured from his nose and bruises started forming all over. 'He's going to be here for awhile.' "I better see you without that depressed look when you return to school."

Joey carefully stood and looked out the window at the lightly falling snow. "Why do you care?"

Seto growled angrily. "I never cared and I never will! Just seeing that look pisses me off! When the hell will you finally move on?"

The blonde shrugged only for him to be grabbed once again by his dirty white shirt. "They're never coming back! So just get over them already!" The CEO yelled but still no reaction. Sighing, he released the other. "I mean it though Wheeler. You better look fine when school starts back up." He headed out the door, slamming it in the process.

He continued staring out the window, trying to think. "Just two weeks until it's back to hell."

Those two weeks flew by and Joey returned like everyone else did. This time he made sure to act like he was doing a little better. His friends were glad to see him a little better but they hadn't been able to see through his mask. He gave a fake laugh here and there and spoke more but Seto Kaiba saw through it all.

'When I get my hands on him after school…' his thoughts were interrupted by his phone going off. He checked the caller ID to see that his secretary was calling. Angry that he was interrupted, he stormed out the room, answering it the moment he stepped in the hall. "What is it?" he took a deep breath.

"Your 11 o'clock appointment with the salesman is in 15 minutes, sir." The woman said cautiously.

"Fine." Seto looked back into the room before dismissing himself to head to his meeting.

I know… Seto's being a total ass and bastard to poor Joey for practically no real reason other than the blonde being so depressed for five months now. He even beat him yet nothing. I wonder how long Seto would be depressed for if he lost Mokuba?

I've already got chapter 2 figured out.
