I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I knew I must have been dreaming. I opened my eyes to see that I was in a rather large room. I couldn't make out the details in the moonlight though. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. It took me a while to realize I was dressed in silk black pajamas. It felt so good against my skin. I never wore silk before. I had to lay back down. The bed was the most comfortable bed I had ever slept in. I laid on my back and looked up at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened. The last thing I remembered was being in Kaiba's limo. I probably passed out from the blood loss. I held my arm up so the sleeve would fall down. There were bandages on all my cuts. I gulped. Who had cleaned and dressed me? Was it Kaiba? Or Mokuba? I didn't want them to see all my scars. My body was so hideous. I couldn't stand it. This would be one more thing for Kaiba to make fun of me about.
I eventually got out of the bed and looked around for the door. I found it and opened the door to reveal a long hallway. Damn Kaiba had a big house. I took a left and walked to the end of the hall. I stopped when I heard clicking. My curiosity got the best of me and I opened the door a little bit to peek inside. Kaiba was typing away on his computer. He was still wearing the clothes he wore earlier so I knew it was the same day at least. But he was wearing glasses. He looked pretty cute in glasses. What the fuck am I saying?! Kaiba isn't cute in any way! I watched him for a few seconds. It would have been longer but I slipped and stumbled into the room. I sat on the floor like an idiot, rubbing my head and looking up at the angry brunette sheepishly.
"Hey Kaiba…" I said, thinking that it sounded pretty stupid after I said it. Apparently Kaiba did too by the look he gave me. He stood up, slipping off his glasses and setting them down on the desk. After crossing his arms and glaring at me he spoke.
"Ever hear of knocking you mongrel?" He growled.
"Cant you give the insults a rest already?!"
"No." He says bluntly. "No one is allowed in my private office besides Mokuba. Get out." He said angrily. I got up.
"Jeez Kaiba, Its not really a big deal. I just want to know what's going on." I said. "And who dressed me…" I added. I looked off to the side. I'm sure my cheeks were stained red at the thought of Kaiba dressing me. I shook my head of those thoughts. I'm sure it wasn't him. But I had to know who saw my scars. Kaiba sighed.
"I had my doctors treat your wounds and dress you. You can keep the pajamas. I don't want them back. Now go back to bed or something, I don't have time to baby-sit." He said, returning to sit back at his desk. He put his glasses back on and looked at the computer.
"You look pretty good in glasses Kaiba." I said without thinking. My face turned red and I scratched the back of my head nervously. "W-Well incase you were w-wondering…eheh. I-I'm going to bed…." I said quickly and hurried out of the office and back to the room I had been staying in. I couldn't tell the difference between one room and the next. Luckily I had left the door open.
I crawled back into the soft bed and slid under the covers. What I would give to live like this. I got a chance to glance at the digital clock on the nightstand. It said 3:14 a.m. What was Kaiba doing up at 3 a.m. I laughed at the possibility that he was looking up porn or something like that on his laptop. I should have sneaked a peak while I was in there to see what he was up to. But I knew that he was probably just working on some Kaiba Corp business.
I experienced a series of dreams that night. Some about my friends, some about my father. I remember one. He was beating me again, telling me what a worthless fag I was and that he hoped I got some STD's and died. I tried to fight back but I was too weak. But instead of running I had someone there to protect me. It was… Kaiba?! He tackled my father away from me and then took me into his arms. The scenery disappeared, leaving only Kaiba and I. "Joey… I'll always protect you…" He had whispered in my ear. I had smiled and kissed him. "Seto…" I moaned into the kiss, feeling his hands rub my back. In a flash the scene changed and we were in that room at the Kaiba Mansion. We were panting, exploring each other's bodies in the dark. "S-Seto!"
I woke up to someone bouncing on my bed. I groaned and kicked them off without thinking, wanting to go back to my dream. I sat up quickly and looked at the little boy on the floor. "Sorry Mokuba." I said with a small laugh. He beamed a smile at me and got up.
"Don't worry about it Joey! Now wake up already! It's time for breakfast!" He said happily and tugged on my hand gently since he had hurt my wounds yesterday. I smiled and got up. I was starving!
"Sounds great Mokuba but uh I got to use the bathroom first." I said blushing. I hurried into the bathroom, not waiting for a response. After taking care of what my dream caused I followed him into the kitchen. I saw Kaiba at the stove cooking? Since when could he cook? I thought he had all those fancy chefs to cook for him. He was even wearing an apron! This was rich. I grinned and sat at the counter with Mokuba.
I started thinking about my dream. It couldn't mean anything right? I was just tiered and Kaiba was the last person I saw. That's all. But him in that apron, cooking, was a total turn on. Who could deny Seto Kaiba? Sure he was a jerk but he was a total hottie. I can't believe I'm thinking this.
"Seto makes the best pancakes!" Mokuba said. I thought I saw Kaiba smile a little but I couldn't tell since he wasn't facing towards me. He looked at us out of the corner of his eye.
"What are you looking at me like that for Wheeler?" He asked with a slight glare. I grinned even more. I wish I had a camera. Those pictures would definitely go on the Internet.
"I just never thought that you could cook." I lied.
"I just cook breakfast and deserts. That's it." Yum desert, we would definitely have to make some later.
"Well I'll take a whole stack of them pancakes! I'm starved!"
He snorts. "You pig." He mutters and sets a large plate of pancakes and sausage in front of us. I scoop most of it onto my plate. I practically shoveled the food down my throat.
"Slow down Joey! You're going to hurt yourself eating that fast!" Mokuba said. I ignored him and kept eating. Kaiba just watched me with a disgusted look on his face. I finished quickly and sat back with a content sigh.
"Go get dressed mutt. Then I'm bringing you home."
"…" I gulped. Home? "I… don't have a home…" I mumbled. I couldn't lie, I had nowhere else to go so lieing wouldn't help. I used to just have people drop me off at Yugi's but now he was gone and I had nowhere left to go.
"What do you mean you don't have a home mutt? Are you a stray?" Kaiba asks amused. He leaned his elbow on the counter, propped up and resting his chin on his palm. My hands clenched into fists and I shook with anger. I was homeless and he was fucking laughing at me?! I'll wipe that fucking smirk off his face. Damn rich punk! I would never treat anyone like that, even if I were a rich bastard like Kaiba. In a matter of seconds I had leapt across the counter and tackled Kaiba to the floor, pinning him down with his hands above his head as I straddled his waist.
"Shut the fuck up Kaiba! You don't know what hell I've been through! Not everyone is as successful as you ya know!" I yelled at him. I couldn't tell if I was crying or not but I was definitely about to if I wasn't already. My home life was always a touchy subject. He just stared at me with wide eyes; he seemed very surprised by my actions. But he soon narrowed his eyes into a glare. Mokuba ran around the counter and tried to pull me off of his brother. He was terrified that I would actually hurt Kaiba.
"Let him go Joey! Let my brother go now!" He yelled and I got up. I slid back against the counter and leaned my arms on my knees, burying my head in my sleeves. Mokuba helped his brother up and asked him if he was ok.
"I'm fine Mokuba…" He said and rubbed his wrists where I had been holding them together. He glared at me and stood up. "I don't know what has gotten into you Wheeler but if you ever assault me like that again I'll make sure your ass is thrown in jail or you're killed. Not that anyone would care." He said bitterly. I glared up at him with tears in my eyes. I was about to scream at him again. Tell him that he was the one that no body gave a shit about. But I couldn't. Not with Mokuba standing right there, hiding behind his brother. And… Part of me believed what he said. Who cared about me? Not my drunken father… not my mother who turned her back on me… not my friends who left me… No… that's not true. My friends cared a lot about me. I couldn't have been selfish and told them to stay.
"Your wrong Kaiba." Was all I could manage to get out of my mouth. Kaiba crossed his arms over his chest.
"I beg to differ…" He started. Kaiba begging? That sounded… dare I say hot? My mind was really messed up lately. I couldn't get it out of the gutter. And I didn't really mind it that much. Now I let myself look Kaiba over. I don't think he noticed my eyes traveling up and down his body. He had really long legs and small hips. And god did he look cute in that apron. He had a strong chest and arms and broad shoulders. His skin was so pale and it looked so soft. I bet a few hickies would stand out on his pale neck. I snickered at the thought. His face was a real prize though. He had a good jaw line and perfect lips. His blue eyes were amazing to stare into. They were like ice. People say that eyes are the window to the soul. But that ice shielded his emotions from everyone. I wondered what his eyes would look like lit up with joy. His soft brown hair was always perfectly combed. I imagined what it would be like to wake up in bed with Seto and see how he looked naturally. He always looked so perfect, so unreal. Now I'm going too far. I can't be thinking these things about Seto Kaiba. Didn't I hate him?! Well I am a gay teenage boy. It must be hormones. Wait is his mouth moving?
"Damn it Wheeler! Listen to me when I talk to you!" he yelled at me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"What?" I asked idiotically. He looked like he was about to explode.
"Get out of my fucking house Wheeler!" He yelled. I looked at him a little sadly and nodded. I wish I hadn't tackled him, and then he might have let me stay for another night.
"But Seto! He doesn't have a home!" Mokuba protested. He was such a sweet kid, he really was. I just attacked his brother and he still wanted to help me. I smiled sadly at him.
"Don't worry about me Mokuba, I'll be fine…"
"But Joey…- You're bleeding again!" Just great. I looked down at my side and sure enough the pajamas were soaked with blood.
"Damn…" I muttered. Mokuba grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the room I had been in. He called in the doctors to come in. I'll spare you the details, I'm glad I was asleep last time. It hurt like hell when they sprayed some de-bacterial shit on my cuts. I was cussing and yelling. I felt bad for Mokuba, but he left in the middle of it all to go talk to Kaiba or something. I should have behaved better for him. Well as soon as the doctors left Kaiba came in. He didn't look happy in the slightest. He stood at the end of the bed, looking at me with narrowed eyes.
"I've got a big offer for you mutt. So pay attention because I will not repeat myself. Mokuba is worried about you. He is very lonely and I can tell he is falling into a depression. He really doesn't have many friends and for some strange reason he considers you a friend. So I want to hire you to take care of him. Understand?" he placed his hands on the bed as if to intimidate me. That's when I noticed he had pretty large hands… bad thoughts bad thoughts. "You can stay here and I will pay you this." He continued, writing down something on a small piece of paper and handing it to me. Why did businessmen always have to write down the price and give it to you? Couldn't they just say it? I looked at the paper. Holy shit! That was a lot of money. I don't even think I had seen that many zeros before! I just looked awe struck, I couldn't even answer but how could I turn down that offer? I had nothing and this was a chance to have so much more! "I'll take that as a yes." Seto said and left. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all. Nah, Mokuba probably made him do it. Speaking of the little runt. Mokuba bounced in happily and set some new clothes on the bed.
"Here Joey! I got some of Seto's clothes for you to wear! We'll go shopping later." Seto must have already told him that I was going to be his new uh what did they call them? A nanny? That sounded weird. Anyway, he seemed really happy about it. I smiled.
"Thanks Mokuba." I said and grabbed the clothes. Mokuba left so I could change. When I was finished I looked in the mirror. I was wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans. The clothes were kind of tight and the pants were a little long but they would do for now. Mokuba reassured me that the boxers he gave me weren't worn yet. I walked out into the hallway to find Mokuba. He was leaning against the wall waiting patiently. "I'm ready." I said. He smiled up at me.
"Want to play some video games Joey?!" He asked, beaming with excitement.
"Sure." I said and smiled back. He led me to a room filled with all sorts of video games. We sat in two chairs that hung from the ceiling like a tire swing. The chairs looked like a ball cut in half, filled with comfortable padding on the inside. It was pretty cool if you ask me. But the best part was the huge TV! It took up almost the whole freaking wall! We played some random games for a few hours. Mokuba beat me at almost everything. After a while I was getting curious as to where Kaiba was. "Hey Mokuba? Where's your brother?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant. Mokuba shrugged.
"Probably in his office. Why?" He asked and looked at me.
"Well… I figured I should apologize about earlier." I said and stood up. "I'll be back in a few alright?" He nodded and turned the game on single player as I left the room.
Alright, there is chapter 2! Tell me if you like it! I was really appreciative of the positive reviews even if there weren't many. I'm already working on chapter 3 so I'll try and get it out this week.
