Chapter I - It Starts Here

Seto stood up and walked to the room down the hall to see the young blonde sound a sleep in his bed. It was kind of relaxing to see how peaceful, and quite he was, though it was much differnt than his useuall self. On his way to the bathroom he stoped by Mokuba's room to see that he was sound a sleep as well. The house was always quite at night but it was never this peaceful. Seto quickly washed his face and changed into something more comferable to sleep in even though he knew he wouldnt get much of it anyways. He always had to up eary for work. He quitly walked back into his room were the blonde was sleeping, he climbed into bed, and gave the blond a kiss on the head befor he fell asleep next to him.

Seto was up at 5:30 like he always did so he could leave a list of chorse for his brother to do when he got home from school, and made a cute lunch bento for Joey to take with him to his next tournament with a note atached to it. After he was done with everything that needed to done so eary in the morining he went out the door, and drove off in his limo. Being the President of Kaiba Corp wasn't all that grate anymore beacause Seto never gets to see Mokie, or Joey anymore, he's been thinking of just shutting Kaiba Corp down so he could spend more time with his friends, and family, but there is too much to risk if he did. Kaiba finally arived at the tall buliding located in the middle of Damino city it was only 6:25, and he already had to go to a metting in five minutes to talk to everyone about the new hallagraphics for his latest dule disk, which is still being tested.

Back at the mansion Joey woke up at his useuall time, and took a quick shower before Mokuba woke up. After his shower he hurryed downstairs, and made sure Mokie had his lunch, and was all ready to get on the bus. Joey had always been a big help around the house since he moved in, and Mokuba wasn't really trouble by it either. He gave him a huged, and Joey handed Mokuba his lunch, and watched as he got on the bus. After the bus had left the mansion, Joey pulled out his cell phone, and called Yugi to come pick him up. Once he got off the phone he saw he had a message from Seto saying "I made you a vary spical lunch its in the fridge and has a note on it" Joey smiled and went back inside to go get it. The note read...

"Joey i know we have only been together for a week now and i know im very busy but im planing on taking a few days off so we can all have fun together, like a family. Good Luck on your Dule tournament today, and i will try to be home early today ~Love Seto"

This left the tall blond smiling as he left the house with his friends and his bento.

"So Joey, are you ready for the tournament today?" asked Yugi cheerfuly.

"Yeah Yug, Im so pumped im not going to loss to you" he said in a joking maner.

They laughed as they drove off to the stadium. When they arived there were so many dulist already inline for there passes but luckily Joey and Yugi already had thiers. So they walked into the stadium and saw the lines up for the first dules and it was deja vu alovers again, Rex Raptor vs Joey Wheeler, and Yugi Moto vs Wheevil Underwood.

"This is almost like the time at dulest kingdom huh Yug, except this time we won't be able to cheer eachother on." Joey seemed a little up set about the fact his best friend wouldn't be right there next to him as he duled against the dino brain Rex Raptor.

"I know, but even though I won't be next to you physicaly ill still be routing for you all the way" Yugi said as he walked to his scection of the stadium.

This was Joeys frist time duleing without any of his friends watching from the sideline, and he knew this was going to be aired all over Damino so he hoped for not only Yugi to be cheering him on in spirit but for his sister, Seto and Mokuba to be watching when they got home.

The day was almost over, and so was the tournament. It was down to the final dule Yugi against Joey. They knew it would come down to this again, but they didnt mine only because its happend before.

"May the best man win" Joey said in a calm but intimadating voice

Yugi nodded as they both shouted "DULE!"

It was intence, just like the last time, but they always promised each other to go all out everytime they dule against eachother, and no matter who wins they were still going to be the best of friends.

Back at Seto's mansion Mokuba finished his daily chorse, and was already sitting infron of the t.v watching Joey and Yugi face off in the finnal dule of the tournament. Seto was also finnally getting home and insted of doing the uesual rest of his work when he gets home he went and sat with his brother to watched the rest of the dule.

"who's winning so far?" Seto asked as if he were conncernd

"Yugi is, but what else is new" replied Mokuba

Seto just laughed at his comment, and continued to watch the dule. It was comming close yugi was down to 600LP and his dark magican with a couple of face down cards, while Joey only had 50LP and his thounsand dragon left, but he didnt plan on giving up so easily. Seto saw the fire in the young blond's eyes, it was the exact same look he use to get everytime they would dule. Seto realized that he actuly like Joey this way. It always gave him the extra motivation to push it to the limit no matter what situation he was in.

"And the winner is Yugi Moto!" souted the announcer

"I knew Yugi would win, he always does" Mokuba really wasn't surpised by the out come of the dule.

"Good game Yug. Ive havent been that fired up in a while" exclamed Joey

Yugi laughed and shooked hands with his best friend Joey. It was one of the best dules they've had in a while and they both enjoyed it, even though one of then could of won. The Damino city clock stuck 7:00 pm and Joey realized he needed to get back home to Seto and Mokuba and start cooking dinner.

"Hey yug want to go back to the masion and eat dinner with us?" Joey asked

"Sure thing Joey"

"Okay, Let me call kaiba to let him know."

Seto felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. "Hello" he awnserd. Seto felt his heart skip a beat as Joey said Seto's name on the the other line. Seto wasn't known for getting worked up over just his name being called but something about Joey's voice always left him seawing in his own skin. Back than kaiba would always act so cool and tough around Joey, but now that he is actually living with him, he feels more vulnerable, almost like he's falling for him more than he though he would.

"don't worrie about cooking I order take out for us" Seto said camily.

"awesome your the best, I'll be home in a little bit" said Joey

Yugi, and Joey took off back to the mansion. It didnt seem like much of a car ride, maybe because Joey was so excitied to be back with his the one he loves. When they got there the food was ready to be served. It was the frist time in awhile seto got to eat with his younger brother, Joey, and not to menchen someone he can now call his friend.

After dinner Yugi had to go back home to Grandpa. Mokuba was in the shower and of course Kiba had work to do so the young blond cleand up the kitchen. It was late but he didn't mind as long as he was doing it for the one he liked. It was spotless just like how he left it this morning. Joey looked over at the clock and it read five minutes to eleven. He didn't think it would be this late already but he was happy he was able to spend the day with his best friend and his lover but one thing keep poping up in his mind. He wanted to know why now? How come Seto has been so nice to him after all the trouble they caused eachother? He started to walk up the stares and he heard Seto in his office he though about surpising him but he seemed way to busy so the insted he just went into the bed room and get ready for bed. Seto was sitting in his office was hoping for a destation but it just didnt seem to happen.

There was just one more page to fill out but it was going to have to wait for the morning, besides Seto didnt have to go in till noon anyways so this gave him a little bit of free time to spend with Joey. As he walked towreds his room he though of how he would spend the day with him while his brother was off at school. Once he got to his room were the bloned was already fast asleep he sat at the edge of the bed and let just let his mind wounder a bit not knowing that Joey woke up unexpectitly.

Seto mutterd under his breath "I wish i was nicer to you back when we were younger..."
