Confessions of the Heart

Chapter 2

(Kaiba POV)

It's strange; one minute I'm feeling cold and distant from the world, then the next I feel a warm presence next to me. At first I thought I was just imagining things but then I felt warm fingers run through my hair.

I began to feel at ease and warm. As I began to open my eyes, I noticed a little light in the room and a silhouette. As my eyes opened fully, they widened at who I saw. "Puppy, what are you doing here?"

Joey scooted away from me as I sat up, not taking my eyes off him. "Hey how's it goin! Kaiba look, I know you probably don't want me here but…"

"It's alright pup, relax." The blond took a deep breath of relief then I said, "Now, why are you here?"

"Uh…you see uh…Mokuba called me to ask if I could help you out with your problem. I mean the poor kid has been really worried about you man; you should've heard how upset he was when he called."

I turned my face from Joey, "I didn't realize I worried him so much."

"Yeah I mean you can't blame him he's your brother; he can't help but worry. You also kinda had me worried about ya too."

I couldn't believe what I just heard. I turned my head back to the blond who was blushing slightly. He looked so adorable, "You were worried about me?"

"Well yeah, you haven't been around lately and I guess I couldn't help but worry too."

I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed the other teen and pulled him close to my chest in a never ending embrace. I rested my chin in his soft, sweet smelling hair. My eyes ventured downward and I noticed my puppy blushing even more. I smiled softly at how cute he looked.

(Joey POV)

Oh my God, the Seto Kaiba was hugging me! I mean literally hugging me...to no end. I felt my cheeks grow even redder at his touch. This must be a dream, it has to be but by the look of it…it wasn't.

I felt really comfortable in the other's embrace but despite how I was feeling, I had to speak up. "Um Kaiba, why are you hugging me?"

He answered in a calming tone, "Joey listen, there's something I have to confess."

"Uh sure…what is it?" I asked.

"Look pup, despite what I've put you through I have been attracted to you for some time."

My eyes widened at those words, "What you're sayin' is that you…you know…like me?"

"Like, love is more like it. But I was…afraid to tell you because I thought if I did tell you, you'd reject me and that's why I haven't been to school lately." Then he released me from his embrace and stared at me with a longing look in those blue eyes. "It's because I couldn't bear the sight of seeing you another day without you by my side."

A million words couldn't explain how the brunet's words were making me feel. I stared down at the bed sadly, "I never knew I was making you feel that way; I'm sorry."

Kaiba shook his head at me, "Don't be, it's my fault for not telling it to you straight."

I looked up at him with a small smile on my face, "I'm really flattered you like me so much." Then my smile turned into a grin, "I thought you probably hated me."

The CEO gave me a loving smirk and gently tapped my nose, "How could I hate a sweet and cute puppy like you?"

I pouted cutely at him, "I'm not a puppy." Then I heard the brunet laugh. It was a nice, heartwarming laugh that made me feel warm inside so I laughed along with him.

When the laughing stopped, Kaiba reached for my hand and held it in his. I felt myself blushing again as I looked into his eyes as he asked, "So Joey what do you say; will you be with me?"

I smiled warmly at him as I wrapped my arms around him, "Of course I will." Then I felt his arms embrace me as well and I knew there was a smile on his face. Then I asked, "Could you promise me something, Kai…err Seto?"

"Anything, puppy." he said as he rested his head in my blond hair.

"Never do something like this again, promise?"

"I promise I won't, as long as you're with me."

I came out of the embrace and gazed at Seto's face. It wasn't filled with sadness anymore but with happiness that I accepted his love for me. He looked so handsome with that plesant face. Those beautiful sapphire orbs bored into my soul. Maybe Ryou was right, I am crushing on him. After gazing at Seto for which seemed like forever, he leaned into me and captured my lips in a soft loving kiss.

(Normal POV)

The two teens' kiss felt like an eternity to them. Joey clutched the other's shirt as Seto deepened the kiss. The brunet wrapped one of his arms around the blond's waist, pulling him closer to him.

Joey tasted like heaven to the young CEO. The puppy's taste was a mixture of honey and apples. Then he brought his free hand up and placed it on the blond's soft cheek.

As for our puppy, he was in pure heaven as well. Seto's lips felt so soft against his. The CEO tasted like warm cinnamon to him. Joey felt so safe and warm in the other's arms.

When Seto pulled away from the flustered blond, he marveled at how angelic his puppy looked. He was blown away by those hazy but warm amber eyes and that blush on the blond's face. The brunet smiled lovingly at the other, "You are such a beautiful puppy."

Joey's blush grew deeper at the comment. They way the CEO was making him feel was amazing. "Thanks but I wouldn't go dat far; even though it's true."

Seto shook his head amusingly, "Sometimes you are too full of yourself and yet it entices me."

"Um yeah enticing…that's a good thing right?"

"In your case," the brunet moved in closer to the blond's ear and whispered seductively, "it's really good."

Then Joey felt warm lips kiss his earlobe. The puppy moaned in pleasure as Seto continued those sultry kisses from his ear, to his jaw line, to his neck. The blond felt like he would melt into a puddle at the other's touch. "Well you sure are frisky today."

Then the brunet rested his head on Joey's shoulder, "You have no idea, I've waited so long to do that."

"Aww…well I think its time for me to get you some grub so you won't die from hunger on me or somethin'."

Seto wrapped his arm around Joey's waist and kissed the puppy's cheek as he playfully whined, "Aww, but I don't want my puppy to leave yet."

"You are so sweet, but I'll be right back." Joey said sweetly as he tapped the brunet's nose and got off the bed to walk to the door.

"Don't be long, puppy." the CEO said as he winked at his puppy."

"I won't, Seto." Joey said as he opened the door and steeped out.

Mokuba was on his way to his brother's room when he saw Joey run down the stairs happily. The curious preteen went to his brother's room and peered inside, "Um Seto?"

"Come on in, Mokie."

Mokuba walked in and sat next to his brother and he noticed something different about him. He noticed that Seto was happier and wholesome again. "Um, Seto are you okay now?"

"I've never been better."

"So I take it that Joey helped you through everything."

"You could say that and we're together."

The ebony haired kid widened his silver eyes, "Together, as in a couple together?"

"Yes."

"How did that happen; where was I?" But Mokuba came out of his stupor quickly and hugged his brother happily, "I'm so happy for you two. So I guess you should be thanking me."

"I guess I should seeing as though you brought him here; so thanks little bro."

"No problem; um Seto just so were clear on this, you won't go through this 'depression' thing again right?"

"Yes we're clear, Mokie and that's a promise I intend to keep for my two favorite people."
