Chapter 2 – His Problem

--

Wheeler was...the same as me.

--

By the time I had collected my thoughts, Wheeler had collapsed on the cold floor. I guess he was more beat up then I presumed. Who would have thought Joey Wheeler would have so many problems? How was anyone supposed to know when he acted so darn happy all the time! I grabbed my cell phone out of my jacket and rang my limo driver to come pick us up. Even though we were only a block away from my house. Looks like the stupid mutt will be crashing at my place tonight. What a pain...

At last, I was back, snug and sound inside my huge mansion. The only problem was. I had brought home a lost puppy and that puppy was none other than Joey Wheeler. I had commanded the nurse to fix the poor bastard up. The nurse agreed and I plopped down onto my cosy couch. I sighed putting my hand over my face. What the fuck had just happened?

After an hour or so passed I had heard a familiar voice.

I'd never thought id say this, Kaiba, but thank you' Joey declared. 'I guess you're not such an asshole after all'

'Shut your trap, Wheeler, I've had enough of you for one day, but there is one thing I want to ask you'

'I don't feel like answering any questions' Joey said shyly. I ignored him.

'Would you like to tell me, what the fuck is going on?' I looked at Joey who seemed pretty upset about the whole thing. But I continued anyway. 'What did you mean by this has been going on for your whole life'

'Just stop it already!' Joey shouted. 'Why the hell would I tell you, of all people?' Which was true, why would he want to tell his arch enemy about his problems? But even so, I knew how he felt. G used to do the same thing to me all the time. Maybe it was me who wanted to talk about my problems.

I snickered 'To think I was jealous of you, but yet, your life is just as messed up as mine' Joey raised his head in curiosity. Ha! I knew that would catch his attention. Even though I feel like a total douche admitting it.

'Jealous? Why would you be jealous of me? Especially since you live the high life' Joey asked with surprise.

'High life?' I grunted underneath my teeth. 'Yeah, I bet you think that. That's what everyone else thinks to. That my life is so fucking fantastic! Well guess what Mutt, my life sucks!' I wanted to punch Wheeler for the second time that night.

'Stop talking bullshit, Kaiba! You have everything you have ever wanted. Just look at this fucking house! It's as big as your ego!' Wheeler wined.

That last comment really struck my heart. It hurt. 'No' I said. 'I'd gladly trade it all for...' I stopped. What was I about to say?

'For?' Joey asked. I couldn't get the words out of my mouth. I felt like I was about to break in two. Yes I remember. What I wanted most in this world was for someone to love me, for someone who would want to get to know me. But that would never happen. I kept telling myself. And that was when...

Joey came closer towards me, he obviously knew he had upset me. 'Sorry' he whispered. 'Your right, I don't know anything about you, I would love to get to know the real you' He gave me a sweet smile.

How could Wheeler, the person I hated the most, say the one thing that would cheer me up. 'Enough with the friendship speeches already!' I couldn't help but smile back. 'Anyways, shouldn't you be heading home soon, it's already 6am'

'I'm not going back there' Joey said in a serious voice.

'What about your sister and you mother?'

'I don't live with them'

'So it's just you and your father?' I asked.

'Unfortunately' was the sad reply. 'My parents got devoiced when I was only a child. My sister went to live with my mother and I went to live with my father. I rarely get to see my sister and my mother. My father on the other hand, he would come home drunk mostly every night and beat the absolute shit out of me. I've had enough. I'm never going back'

I was shocked. I really felt for the guy. I knew exactly what he had been through. There's no way I could kick him out back onto the streets.

'I guess I have heaps of spare rooms, it wouldn't hurt for you to stay here' I suggested. 'But only for a little while'

'Wow, does that mean were frie-' I stopped him before he could finish.

'No!'

Just because I was in a good mood, which is extremely rare, doesn't mean I've gone completely delusional! There's no way I could ever befriend a fool like him. Even if he did say he wanted to get to know me better. I looked at my watch. 7 o'clock. Shit we had school in a hour!

'Come on Wheeler, we have school soon, ill let you borrow my uniform' I shivered. It looks like ill have to burn it afterwards.

'Ok' the mutt said 'By the way, don't mention anything about what has happened tonight'

I agreed 'And don't you dare say anything about you staying here, or trust me, you wont ever see the light of day again' I glared at him, although it didn't seem to have much effect.

'By the way, wouldn't it look suspicious if someone saw us going to school together?' Joey asked.

'Exactly why you will be walking' I smirked 'you better hurry up and get ready'

Its been thirty minutes since the dopy dog left my house. Luckily Mokuba didn't notice Joey staying here and Mokuba was going to be staying over at his friend's house for a couple of days. Thank god, otherwise if Mokuba found out, he wouldn't let me hear the end of it. I hugged the little devil goodbye.

'Bye big brother, ill miss you!' waved Mokuba.

Guess its time I left too. I jumped into my stylish limo and was off to suffer another pointless day of school. I hope the mutt didn't get lost on the way there. I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Dipshit.

I wandered into the classroom. The room was filled with laughter and joy. Oh great, I felt like I was going to throw up. I sat at the back of the room where I was left alone. I immediately noticed Joey and his band of freaky friends. I gave a quick sigh of relief. At least he made it alright. Wait, why the hell do I care? Because I defiantly don't.

'All right, all right class, get back to your seats' the teacher commanded. Oh great, here we go. I don't know if I can take another minute of her boring blabbering! Not to mention I haven't had much sleep after last nights adventures.

'Well, well, I never thought ill see the day when I caught Seto Kaiba sleeping in class!' I slowly opened my eyes. Shit, how long have I been asleep for? Thank god I wasn't having one of my usual nightmares. It's not my fault I was bored shitless.

'Not you too Joey!' the teacher shrieked. 'That's it, I'm fed up, both of you will stay behind after class'

Fuck this shit. That bitch can't make me stay. Who did she think she was talking to? I'm Seto Kaiba for Christ sake! I decided to fall back to sleep just to piss her off and the next thing I knew, I was stuck cleaning the board while Wheeler was sweeping the floor.

'Can you believe that bitch?' I complained.

'Doesn't really matter' Wheeler shrugged.

'Well I'm already behind on my work, this sucks'

'So after school you work? Man, do you ever have any fun?' I gave Wheeler the glare of death and he got his answer.

'We'll it looks like it's up to me to show you a good time' He winked.

'Don't get too friendly, mutt!' I growled.

We ended up going in the limo together since there was no one left at school to see us. When we got back to my house, I sat down and opened up my laptop.

'What'cha doing?' came a very annoying voice.

'Work, go away Wheeler!' I started to regret letting him stay at my house.

'Aw boring! Let's go have some fun!' He started pulling on my arm just like Mokuba does. 'Come on, let's go!' He gave my hand one last yank.

You would never have guessed what happened next. I fell. Yes that's right. Fell. I fell right on top of Wheeler. And that was how it all started...
