So this is chapter four of Joey's secret. I hope everyone likes it. Sorry it took so long for an update but I had a lot of tests.

Now go on with the story.

Seto's POV

I looked through class trying to find Joey. But he wasn't here. That was odd because he was always early. His friends came inside. Yugi saw me and walked to me.

"Hey, Kaiba! Where is Joey?"

I looked at him confused. "I thought he would be with you?"

"Why should he be? He was staying over at your house, wasn't he?"

"Yes, but his dad called and he had to go home, so I thought he was with you?"

"That sounds logical but I didn't see him. I wonder where he is?"

"Mr. Kaiba and Mr. Moto, would you sit down? The class is about to start."

I sat down looking at the door hoping Joey would rush inside. But Joey didn't show up…nor in the next class, or the break. We were halfway through our final class when Joey showed up. His hair was hanging in front of his face. He gave a note to the teacher, who looked at it and nodded. Joey sat down, not looking at anybody.

"Hey, Joey," Tristan whispered softly. Joey didn't answer. "Is something wrong?"

"Mr. Taylor, leave Mr. Wheeler alone or I will send you to the principal."

Tristan sat back, but I couldn't stop staring at Joey's sad form. During the next break Joey exused himself to go to the bathroom. I was curious and followed him. He was standing in front of the sink, his hand resting on it. His arm was shaking. I still couldn't see his face, but I saw some water dripping down his chin.

"Joey?" His head shot up and he stared in the mirror. I walked up beside him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Looking…so what's wrong?"

"Go away," he said softly.

I took a step so I stood behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him close. For the first time that day I saw his face. His eyes were red, like he had been crying. They were filled with anger, sadness, and disbelief.

He didn't look at me. I slowly turned him around so he was facing me. He didn't want to look at me, so I cupped his chin and made him look at me. "Were you crying?" I asked, my voice the softest I could muster. I saw beside his eye a blue bruise, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Before I knew it, Joey launched himself forward and buried his head in the crook of my neck, then started to shake. "J-Joey?" I asked, surprised.

"No, don't ask-I will lie, and I don't want to lie to you."

I sighed anxiously. I knew that I could trust him completely, but I wanted him to tell me what was really wrong.

"Joey," I said holding him closer, while kissing his neck. I felt him cry against my shoulder. I heard the bell for the next class, but Joey was still crying. I moved a little so no one would see us. I let him do what ever he wanted to calm down.

After a few minutes he stopped crying. And in that moment, Tristan came inside and found us. He didn't seem surprised to find us together.

Joey looked around. "Hi, Tristan," he mumbled, his arms still around me.

"Joey, was that note what I think it was?"

Joey nodded and Tristan sighed. "Tristan, don't!" Joey said with a little panic in his voice.

"I know, I know," Tristan said, raising his hands in defence. "I promised I wouldn't, but maybe you should go to the park to clear you mind. The teachers won't bother you today."

"Yeah, maybe I should," Joey said.

I didn't know what was going on, but I noticed that Joey had calmed down with that idea. Tristan turned his attention to me. "Sorry, Kaiba, but we have to go back to class."

I was about to protest when Joey whispered in my ear, "Go with him. I will wait for you at the park after school." I nodded and let Joey go. Tristan walked out, and I was about to follow him when Joey pulled me back and kissed me quickly on the mouth and then pushed me out the door.

Tristan stood against a locker. "Before we go to class, I have to talk to you. Follow me, please." I did what I was asked. He brought me to an empty classroom. "Kaiba, you know Joey has a secret, right?" he asked. I nodded. "Well, it so happens that I know about his secret, but I promised Joey that I wouldn't tell anyone. But I believe that you're the only one who can help him."

I stared at him. "And how am I supposed to do that?"

Tristan gave me a school book. "Here, this is Joey's book. When he goes home, go after him and say that he forget it…or something. And make sure you get into the house-it explains itself when you go in there."

I nodded that I understood his plan.

.

Tristan nodded too. "Good." Then he walked to the door, but stood still before it. "Oh, and Kaiba?"

"Yes?"

"If you hurt Joey, I will make doubly sure that you regret it." And with that he walked out the door.

Joey's POV

I sat on a bench. I felt so much better than I did at school. I stared over the lake and waited for Seto. School is out, so he will be here any minute now. Suddenly it went dark before my eyes. I wanted to scream when I heard someone whisper in my ear, "Guess who?" I grabbed the hands in front of my eyes, pulled them away, stood up and turned around to see Seto standing behind the bench. He had placed his suitcase next to my bag.

He smiled. "Feeling better?"

"Yes, much thanks for caring," I said with a smile. "And I'm sorry to say, Seto, but I only have an hour. If I come home late my father will be angry."

I hadn't noticed, but Seto had come closer to me. "Well, let's have some fun then, shall we?" He said before locking his lips with mine. I smiled happily during the kiss-it was just a simple one. I guess it was because we were in public, but I couldn't care less.

He let me go. "Well, that was some good fun."

"Indeed, it was," I said. "Could we have some more?"

"Yes," he whispered, coming closer again.

I grinned. "Come and get it," I said playfully as I slipped out of his arms and started running.

I saw Seto standing still, surprised for a moment before he started chasing after me. "Joey! Come back here!" He screamed after me.

I laughed at this-it was so not his still. "Never!"

He quickly caught up with me, and he tried to catch me, but failed. We both fell to the ground. I looked up at his face and laughed. "Get off me!"

"No," he said very simply. I grabbed his hips and pushed him sideways, moving him off me.

*Splash*

I turned to see that I had pushed Seto into the deep lake. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Why you-!" he growled. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the lake also. "That was for laughing at me, pup," he said.

I stood up and splashed Seto. "Do you really think I care if I get wet?"

"No, but it is fun to see." We both laughed and Seto stood up holding his hand out to me, which I gladly took. He lifted me up and pulled 'a little' too hard, so I fell against him and he kissed me once again. After he let go, he said, "Let's dry up, shall we?"

First, we walked first back to the bench and grabbed our bags, then we went up the hill. Seto pulled his shirt off, revealing his chest. I stared at him. Seto noticed this and said, "See something you like?"

I blushed and nodded. When he moved a little closer to me, I blushed even more. He stared at me. I didn't know what he wanted. I sighed softly and pulled my own shirt off, too. It felt a lot better to sit there in the sun. I turned my head to find Seto staring at me this time. I smiled at him and sat a bit closer to him, noting that Seto was also blushing. He grabbed me and pulled me into his lap. I loved the feel from the friction of skin to skin. I was sure I was as red as a tomato right now.

He rested his chin on my shoulder and my smile brightened when I saw that Seto's face was very red as well. I cuddled up to him, enjoying the feeling of his skin and heartbeat. He gave me little kisses on my cheek. I saw he looked a bit dreamy. I smiled and turned around, kissing him on the mouth. Everything felt so perfect right like now. It was like nothing could hurt us or break this moment.

Seto's POV

I could see that Joey was happy. His eyes where filled with love, joy and passion. It was so different from when we were at school. I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist and held him close. I almost didn't notice that we didn't have our shirts on.

*Beep Beep Beep*

A stupid sound sliced through our beautiful atmosphere. Joey sighed and slipped out of my arms for the second time that day. "I have to go home now," he said, looking at me with a sad smile. I nodded and reached out for his shirt and hand it over to him. "Better put this on."

Joey laughed and grabbed my shirt, "Same goes for you."

We exchanged shirts and put them on. Mine was still a little damp but it wasn't too bad. We stood up and Joey gave me a quick hug and a kiss. He grabbed his bag then turned to run down the hill. When he was at the bottom he turned and screamed, "SEE YOU TOMORROW!" He waved, as did I, and then he ran off.

I sat down again. I will wait 10 minutes and then go after him, doing what Tristan told me to do. After some time, I realized that I didn't know where Joey lived. I grabbed my suitcase and pulled Joey's book out, and opened it. There was a note in the front cover. I grabbed it, seeing it was from Tristan and had directions to Joey's house. I put the note in my pocket and got up. It is time to go.

So, yeah, I wanted to do some fluffy stuff. And you guys will get surprised in the next chapter, for sure. That is all I have to say. Oh yeah, please review.
