Kaiba woke up feeling like someone had hit him over the head with a frying pan. He groaned and brought his hand to his head. 'Wait, my hand?' He checked again and found that he was human once more. All of his moving around had awakened Joey. "Seto?" Joey opened his eyes and blinked. "Kaiba!?" He backed up and fell off the bed.

"Joey? Are you okay?" Kaiba moved to the edge of the bed and looked down at Joey.

"K-Kaiba, why are you here?" Joey looked at him with false anger in his eyes.

"I was the dog." Kaiba was hurt by the anger in Joey's eyes, even if it was false.

"You were the dog? But then..." Joey began to cry.

Kaiba slid off the bed and sat down, pulling Joey close. He then did the thing he would have done as a dog: he licked off Joey's tears.

Joey looked at him, shocked. "Kaiba? Is that really you?"

Kaiba stopped and looked at himself. "I think so. Why?"

Joey looked away. "You're always mean to me. Now you're being really nice."

Kaiba smiled. "That's because I learned something from my time as a dog. I learned that when I called you a dog, I was really complementing you. I learned that you make great eggs. I learned that playing Frisbee is fun. But most important, I learned that I love you."

Joey was shocked. He looked up at Kaiba's face and saw that he was being sincere. Smiling happily, he began to cry.

"Joey? What's wrong?" Kaiba hoped he hadn't said something wrong.

"Nothing's wrong. I'm crying because I'm happy." Joey gave Kaiba a big grin.

Kaiba smiled back and licked the tears off, making Joey laugh. "I'm glad that you're happy. You're all that matters to me. I'll always be there to help you when you need me."

Joey smiled again. "You've always been the only thing that mattered to me, and you still are. I love you, Kaiba."

"Call me Seto." Kaiba leaned down a bit so that his face was only centimeters away from Joey's. "I love you too, Joey," Kaiba whispered right before pressing his lips against Joey's. Joey was a bit shocked, but it didn't take long for him to respond.

When they finally had to come up for air, Joey looked at the clock. "I'm sorry, Seto, but I think I need to go back to bed. I'll be tired when I go to school tomorrow if I don't." He smiled at Kaiba mischievously. "We could always go to your mansion after school and continue this."

Kaiba smiled and shook his head. "I don't know what to do with you, Joey. But, if you're going to bed, I'd better get back to my mansion. See you later, Joey!"

Joey watched Kaiba leave. "See you later!" He got back into his bed and went back to sleep.

Kaiba arrived at school early the next day, hoping to catch Joey when he arrived. As he waited, he saw a lot of kids stare at him. He ignored them and watched leaves from the trees fall instead. One kid came up to him. When he looked to see who it was, he sighed inwardly. "Hey, Aska. What do you want?"

Aska smiled. "I want to know what you learned about dogs."

Kaiba sighed. "Dogs are amazing. There's only one thing wrong with them."

"What's that?"

"They can't glare." Kaiba gave Aska the best glare he could. It didn't really work, though, because instead of glaring he only looked slightly angry. "See?"

"I think that's a good thing." Aska smirked at him. "Well, I guess I'd better get back to all of the important things I'm supposed to be doing. See you later, Kaiba."

Kaiba shook his head. He would never understand that girl, nor would he want to. Just thinking about her gave him goosebumps. He looked around, trying to find something to keep his mind off Aska. He noticed Joey walking toward the school. He almost raced over to meet him, but he held himself back. Instead, he waited until Joey came up to him. "Hey, Joey."

Joey smiled. "Hey, Seto."

Kaiba would have talked to Joey, but just then Joey's friend Tristan came over.

"Hey Joey, is Kaiba giving you grief?" Tristan glared at Kaiba, much to Kaiba's amusement.

"No. But, you remember when I invited you over to see the dog? Well, he's gone." Joey glanced at Kaiba when he said this, giving him an apologetic smile.

"Really? What happened to it?"

"Well, he was Aska's dog to begin with. She did something with him, go ask her if you want to know." Joey was trying to get rid of Tristan.

"I guess I will. You sure you don't need help with..." Tristan pointed at Kaiba. "Him?"

"Nope. I've got it covered. Thanks anyway man."

Tristan got the hint and walked off, glancing back at the two.

"You've got a good friend there, Joey." Kaiba smiled.

"Yeah, I guess I do. He needs to learn when he's not wanted though." Joey smiled back.

"I was going to say that, but I didn't want to insult your friend without your permission."

"You don't need my permission to have opinions, Seto."

"I guess not." Kaiba laughed.

"You have a nice laugh, you know that? I've never heard you laugh before now. You need to laugh more often." Joey laughed himself.

Before Kaiba could respond, the bell rung. He didn't realize that talking to Joey took up that much time. He had to race to get to class on time. Kaiba couldn't wait until lunch so that he could be by Joey again.

After school, Kaiba walked over to where Joey was talking to his friends. "Hey Joey." Joey looked up and smiled. His friends just stared at him.

"Hey! I didn't see you at lunch. Was everything okay?" Yugi, Tristan, Bakura, and Atem stared at Joey like he had suddenly grown another head. Aska just grinned.

Kaiba smiled at Joey. "Nothing was wrong, I just couldn't reach your table."

Joey's friends stared at Kaiba, and Yugi fainted. Aska went over to his side with Atem and tried to revive him.

"That's new. You could't just glare your way through like normal?" Joey seemed not to notice the confusion of his friends behind him.

"Not after... what happened. I can't glare anymore." Kaiba 'glared' at Joey, if you could call it that.

Joey raised his eyebrow at Kaiba. "Wow, you really can't glare." He smiled.

Kaiba smiled back. "I guess I'll have to find some other way to make people scared of me."

"I guess so. Maybe you could pretend to kiss them, that would scare them off pretty fast!"

Kaiba laughed. "I know someone who wouldn't be scared."

Joey pretended not to know. "And who might that be?"

Kaiba leaned in towards Joey, but kept his face a foot away from Joey's. "Guess."

Joey leaned in little bit closer. "Hmm, I think I might need a hint. Is the person a blond?"

"Yes." Kaiba grinned.

"Is this person tall?"

"Tall enough."

"This is tough. Maybe this person is me?"

"You got me." Kaiba leaned in until their faces were only a few centimeters apart. "The person is you."

Aska cleared her throat. "Hey, you two. You might want to take this somewhere else." Kaiba and Joey looked at her. "A bunch of reporters are coming this way. Unless you want to be caught on camera and put on the front page of the newspaper like that, I suggest you move."

Kaiba sighed. "She's right. Come on, we'll take my limo."

"Where to?"

Kaiba chuckled. "To my mansion, of course. Come on. The reporters will be here any minute." Kaiba grabbed Joey's hand and drug him to the sleek black limo waiting in front of the school. Kaiba had just shoved Joey in and was getting in himself when there was a blinding flash of light and a hundred voices started asking questions at once. He quickly shut the door behind him and ordered the driver to go. One brave reporter stood in the way, but Kaiba had the driver go anyway. The reporter realized that the limo wasn't going to stop and dove out of the way. Joey just stared.

Kaiba sighed. "I hate the press. Hopefully they didn't get a good look at you, otherwise you'll be swarmed by millions of reporters."

Joey didn't know what to say, so he just snuggled up next to Kaiba. Kaiba put his arm around Joey and pulled him onto his lap. Joey blushed, but put his arms around Kaiba's waist and hugged him. Kaiba wrapped both of his arms around Joey and buried his face in Joey's hair.

Joey felt Kaiba wrap his arms around him then lay his head on Joeys, and Joey felt like he was in heaven. Then he felt his head get wet, and moved his head so that he was looking Kaiba in the eyes. Joey saw that Kaiba was crying. Not knowing what else to do, he kissed him. It was simple and quick, and when Joey pulled away he saw that Kaiba was crying even harder.

"Kaiba? What's wrong?"

Kaiba shook his head. "Nothing at all. I... I just... it's because..." Kaiba gave up on trying to talk and pulled Joey in for another kiss.

The limo arrived at the mansion and the driver told the two that they had arrived. Hearing no response, he looked back. The driver's face got really red and he left the limo, leaving the two in the back alone.

Rosefeather: I hope you liked this one! It's completely done!

Aska: Yep! Just so you know, the driver saw them kissing. Both of them still had all of their clothes on.

RF: Anyway, please tell me what you think! I'm looking forward to hearing from you in your reviews! Thanks for reading!
