Chapter Four

Seto called home and told Marie who was the housekeeper and the woman who was more like a mother to him and Mokie that he wouldn't be home and told her why. Marie told Seto "take care of your friend and I'll make sure that Mokuba understands why you're not here.

Everyone else had gone home but said that they'd all return tomorrow. Solomon noticed that Seto was still there and went over and sat down beside him and asked "son are you alright?"

Seto turned to him and started crying "he has to be alright, I can't lose the only real friend that I have."

Just then the doctor came and told Solomon "that he could go and sit with Mr. Wheeler if he wanted to." Solomon asked "can Seto come too?"

The doctor said "it would be alright, but not to expect a miracle just yet, he still is in critical condition."

As they entered the room, there laid Joey with tubes and wires all over his body. The only sound was the machine doing his breathing for him and Seto went over and stood beside the bed and as tears ran down his face he whispered "listen to me, I need you and so does your sister and all your friends so please get better and come back to us."

They stayed there all night long and when the Nurse came in to check on how Joey was doing she got quiet a surprise, his eyes were open and he tried to speak but he couldn't because of the breathing tube in his throat. "stay still" she said as she hurried out of the room to get the doctor.

Seto opened his eyes and he smiled and touched Solomon's arm and motioned towards Joey. "He's awake" Seto said. Seto stood up and Joey looked at him and he reached out and Seto took his hand. "welcome back" Seto said. Solomon touched Joey's face and said "it's good to see your back with us."

Just then the doctor came into the room and after examining Joey he said that the breathing tube could be removed but as he told Joey "you won't be able to talk for a couple of days because your throat is still swollen, so take it easy."

Solomon said "I'm going to call Yami and have him tell Yugi and Serenity that you're awake" and he kissed Joey's forehead and left the room. Seto had a tears in his eyes as he said "I thought that I lost you."

Joey touched Seto's face and Seto leaned down and he kissed Joey's mouth. Then Seto said "when you're better we need to talk about us, alright?"

Joey nodded his head that he understood. Seto stayed there and he talked to Joey about things and if anyone had heard him would of thought, this isn't the same man who runs a multi-million dollar business is it?

As the days passed, Joey got stronger and soon he was allowed to get out of bed. Seto had given his assistant the authority to handle things at Kaiba Corp and for him to be notified if anything really important would come up. Seto wanted to spend as much time as he could with Joey, you see Seto had fallen in love with Joey and Joey felt the same about him.

Since their father was in jail awaiting trial, Serenity had been living with the Motou's and when Joey got released he would be staying there too. Joey and Yugi were more like brothers and one day while Yugi was visiting Joey and Seto was at Kaiba Corp taking care of some business, Joey told Yugi "can you keep a secret? I'm in love with Seto and he loves me."

Yugi was so happy for his friend and when he asked "have you told the others?"

Joey said "no, I'm not sure how they'd take the news."

Yugi then told Joey "if you care for him then who he hells what the others think or care."

"Your right" Joey said and then he smiled and Yugi said "thinking about him?"

Joey then asked "Yugi, you and Yami love each other right? What is it like to love someone?"

Yugi then smiled at his friend and he said "it's like waking up from a wonderful dream and knowing that it isn't a dream it's real and that you never want it to ever end."

Just then the door opened and in walked Seto and when Yugi looked at Joey, Joey turned beet red and Yugi laughed and said "see you both later" and left the room.

Seto then asked "what was that all about?" Joey just laid there looking at the Seto and then he said "I love you." Seto leaned over and kissed Joey and said "I love you too."
