Found

Joey was lying in Seto's giant king sized bed. Technically it was his bed now too since he had moved into the mansion and was sharing the room and bed with his long time boyfriend. For over a year the two were dating and Tristan was upset that it was working so well, since he was sure that Seto was just playing with Joey and was certain that he would eventually break Joey's heart.

Joey didn't believe that. He was sure that Seto loved him probably even more than Joey loved him. Seto had done a lot to get them together he even had risked his own life causing Joey to get mad at him in the process.

Joey turned around in the giant bed that had a huge white canopy that was held by the four bedposts. But now Joey could feel that something was different while he turned in the bed. Happy that he had Saturdays off to spend with his boyfriend. Especially since Yami and Yugi were visiting from college and he could see them as well. They had arrived late the day before and so far he hadn't seen them.

With that thought he opened his eyes, ready to get up and go over to the game shop. But instead of sitting up he chuckled. Once he saw the mess he remembered what had happened the night before. His beloved boyfriend had tried to over power him again. This time by tying him to one of the bedposts with handcuffs. Unfortunately, Joey's training in Seto's fitness room had brought great results and now he had broken the bedpost and even with his hands tied together he had overpowered him and the movements from joey riding his dragon had than caused the canopy to come crushing down. The three remaining bedposts had been unable to hold it up any longer. But Joey's chuckle turned into a groan as he noticed that Seto hadn't removed the handcuffs before he had gone to work. He slowly crawled out of under the canopy.

He looked around the room still completely naked and not very happy about the handcuffs. He started to look through Seto's stuff hoping that he could find the key. He looked through the clothing that Seto had worn the previous day but it wasn't in any of the pockets. He then looked around the surfaces of the small tables and drawers in the hope that it would be somewhere there. Still he had no luck.

He started to look through the drawers on the side of the bed where he usually was. The wardrobe and drawers there were filled with Seto's stuff while the ones on the other side were filled with Joey's. Once more Joey could not find the key, but he found something else. He found a red little box in the shape of a heart. Joey's heart nearly stopped. Joey stared at it for a moment in shock before he took it carefully in one hand and after taking one deep breath he slowly opened it, hopping that it wasn't what it looked like. But unfortunately it was, in it was an engagement ring. And to his even greater shook Joey had seen the same ring before, on Seto's finger. Joey had noticed him wearing this ring 6 months ago and he knew that Seto was wearing it every single day. Joey stared at it for a long time before he put it away and sat down on the bed wondering what he should do next. He still needed the key for the handcuffs but didn't really want to look through any more of Seto's stuff out of fear about what he might find. He sat on the bed to think about it a bit but felt like running out of the house to talk to Yugi, but the fact that he was still naked kept him from it.

He thought about it a bit longer and then took a picture of the ring with his phone so he could show it to Yugi later and then he phoned his boyfriend to ask him where he might find the key. He took a few deep breaths before dialling the number in the hope of calming his nerves enough to ensure that Seto wouldn't notice that anything might be wrong.

While it was ringing Joey tried to distract his mind from what he had found by trying to count to ten in between the rings. It rang 6 times and Joey wondered if he would pick up at all. Usually Seto picked up faster unless he was in a meeting and then he wouldn't pick up at all. Joey let it ring through once and then sent a SMS. 'Where is the goddamn key?'

It took half an hour before Seto finally answered 'In my pocket.'

'Which one?' Joey asked, certain that it wasn't in any of the pocket of the pants Seto had on the previous night.

'The one I'm wearing.' Joey nearly screamed as he read it. Seto not only had forgotten to open the stupid handcuffs he had done this on purpose and taken the keys with him for whatever reason.

'Either you get me out of the goddamn handcuffs in the next 30 minutes or my dad will lose his freaking fitness room again and you gain some space in your room.' Joey threatened knowing that this was the best way. Seto would do nearly everything to keep him around. And as long as Joey didn't overuse this threat Seto did everything he wanted him to.

It worked like a charm this time as well. 'I'll be there in ten minutes' Was the answer he got seconds after Joey had sent the threat. And like always Seto was true to his word. He arrived nearly exactly ten minutes later to find Joey curled up with a blanket around him on a chair.

"Finally." Joey said as he saw Seto enter the bed room. "Are you crazy to just leave me tied up here?"

Seto grinned a little as he walked over to him to give him a kiss. He had planned this, wanting to have a break at home with his boyfriend and using this as the perfect excuse. He walked slowly to his boyfriend and said, "Is my little wolf mad at me?"

"Stupid question, of course I'm mad. First you handcuff me to the flipping bed just to have a bit of an advantage and then you leave me here like this." Joey held his handcuffed hands up to emphasis his point.

Seto just smiled and said, "I thought a wild little thing like you might like some kink." Seto pulled Joey up from the chair to sit there himself and pulled Joey on his lap. He smiled at him and added "And since I'm home now, I could try to use the unfair advantage that I still have again." Seto noticed already that Joeys behaviour was different, he had expected Joey to run around the room, his face red from anger but instead he was sitting there looking like a tame little pup. Seto knew that something was up but until he knew what exactly he had decided to behave like he hadn't noticed anything.

Joey smiled a little but his face turned a little red which was unusual for him in such a situation. "Seto, can't ya just untie me? Yug and Yami are in town and I'm already late. We wanted to meet up in the game shop and I´ll never make it there in time now."

Seto took a deep breath and worried slightly that Joey was mad at him about the handcuff thing but he hadn't looked mad the night before. Seto had been sure that Joey had enjoyed it as much as he had. And Joey was different when he was mad. Now he looked more confused or maybe scared. But the last was something Seto couldn't really believe. It wasn't like Joey to get scared.

As soon as Seto had opened Joey's handcuffs he was getting a shirt on and said, "I gotta run now, see ya."

"You'll be back tonight, won't you?" Seto asked sounding more unsure as he wanted to. He was worried about Joey's strange behaviour and knowing that he would see Tristan as well as Yugi and Yami didn't help. Tristan would find a way to blame whatever was wrong with Joey on him and to try and talk him into leaving him.

Joey heard the uncertainty that used to be in his boyfriends voice all the time but had gotten less often the longer they had been living together. Even before it was official he had hardly ever needed to ask that question and Joey knew that Seto must have noticed that he was nervous for some reason. He walked back to Seto and gave him one long and gentle kiss before he promised, "No matter what happens, I will always come back to my dragon." And with that he was gone.

Seto looked after him and hoped that it was true and that Tristan wasn't able to use what ever had his wolf so strange against him. But right now there was nothing he could do so he got up from the chair to get back to work as he noticed something. The bottom drawer that was next to his bed was all the way in. He always kept it a tiny bit open, not enough to look inside just half a centimeter not more. Just so he would see if someone had touched it. He walked over and opened it and noticed that the box also was in a slightly different position. He opened it and was relived to find the ring still inside but was nervous about his wolf. He was the only one in the room and it would definitely explain why he was acting so nervous. But since there still was noting he could do he took the box and went to work with it. Just to make sure that Joey wouldn't hide it to get around getting asked.

Seto hadn't intended to ask him anytime soon, he was sure that his wolf wasn't ready for that sort of commitment. He wasn't tame enough yet. He just had moved in officially and that alone had taken a long time. And Joey still only would say that he liked him. Seto was certain that if he asked his wolf before he got an "I love you" from him he would never get the answer he hoped for and only would risk their relationship. Seto gave a sigh and hoped that Yami and Yugi could calm him down enough for them to either talk or Joey to go back to normal and pretend nothing had happened for now. Either way Seto would be fine as long as Joey was still his boyfriend. He loved him so much by now that he couldn't imagine a life without him.

Joey was glad as he was out of the mansion and away from his dragon. He hadn't been sure what to say or do around him knowing that he wanted to marry him and he wasn't ready for that. Joey was even happier as he walked into the game shop a little while later and saw Yugi and Yami there. Tristan wasn't there yet. He was early rather than late after his escape from the mansion.

"Hey guys." He said as the two others looked at him.

"Hey, you're early." Yugi said sounding surprised.

"Yeah I know. I needed to get out of the house." Joey said wanting to get to the topic of the ring before Tristan would show up. He already knew what Tristan would say. Joey knew that Tristan would use every excuse to get him away from Seto Kaiba.

"Why? Are you two having a little fight?" Yugi said looking worried at his friend. Normally Joey would be late even when Seto was working having stopped by at the office or Seto having found an excuse to have a break at home.

"Not yet, but I fear we will soon." Joey said looking upset.

"Why what is wrong with you two?" Yami asked now not understanding what it was about.

"I found this." Joey said and got his phone out to show them the picture from the ring he took.

Yugi and Yami stared for a moment before Yami asked, "And where is the problem?"

"Where is the problem? Are you serious?" Joey asked. "I can't. I mean this is way too early, I just moved in with him a little while ago and now I find this and he is wearing the same ring for months already!"

"And yet he hasn't asked you. He knows you enough to know that you might still need some time and won't ask you until he has a reason to hope to get a positive answer. So there is no reason to worry." Yami said.

Yugi nodded. "I think so too. Seto loves you and he was patient enough with you moving in officially and I'm sure he will be with marriage as well. He won't pressure you and if he asks and you tell him that you need time I'm sure he'll wait till you're ready."

"What if not? I don't want to lose him." Joey said trying to imagine how it would be if Seto would kick him out if he said no to him. It was hard to imagine because somehow he couldn't imagine it happening. He couldn't see Seto kicking him out for that reason. But he still feared it happening because it would be the worst thing that could happen to him.

"If you worry so much, you could just say yes." Yami said and added after seeing Joey looking at him in shock, " I mean what would be so bad about it? You love him right and don't want to be without him, so where is the problem with marrying the guy?"

"Yes, I love him and want to be with him but I still think that it is too early to go and get married." Joey said with a blush.

"Why?" Yami asked.

Joey looked at him for a while unable to find a good explanation. It just felt strange to think about getting married to Seto. At least at the start. The longer he thought about it the less strange it seemed and the thought about losing Seto was much more frightening than the thought to get even closer to him this way.

Before they could talk about it some more Tristan showed up and Joey quickly changed the topic to his work and Yami and Yugi got the point that he didn't want to talk about it in front of Tristan who was against his relationship with Seto. But it was clear to Yami and Yugi that Joey kept thinking about it since he was rather quiet and distracted. So distracted that Tristan asked him after a while if he had some problems with Kaiba. Tristan sounded hopeful until Joey declined it and said that it couldn't be better with them.

Since Tristan didn't seem to believe him Joey left them early. He didn't want to hear Tristan's constant complain and bad talking about Seto. Joey knew that he used to be a jerk, or to be more honest still was a jerk, at least to most people. But that didn't change the fact that he had fallen for him head over heels and that he was sure that Seto felt at least as deeply for him, if not even more.

Joey went home early and kept thinking about how it might be to be married to Seto. Somehow it didn't seem so different from how it was now. Joey planned to pretend to be asleep when Seto came home and to get ready for bed early. But Seto was home much earlier than usually since he couldn't focus on anything after he had noticed what Joey had found.

Joey still let himself drop on the bed, that still had a broken canopy lying on top, and pretended to sleep on top of said canopy. Seto noticed immediately that he wasn't asleep because Joey's breathing was much too fast right now to be asleep. Seto watched him for a moment before he said, "I know that you're not asleep. How about we go into a guest room since this bed is broke and I need a new one and once there we can talk?"

Joey still pretended to be asleep hoping that Seto wasn't as sure as he sounded. But after a while Seto just picked him up and said, "Fine, then I'll carry you." Seto took him in his arms to carry him into another room. Joey kept his eyes close but his body was too stiff. It was prove of the fact that he was asleep. Once they were on the bed in the guest room next door Seto gave him a little kiss and then said, "I know that you are awake, so don't bother trying to pretend. You don't need to worry. I know what you found and I also know that you don't want the same thing I want at least not now and that is fine, so don't worry."

Joey slowly opened his eyes and looked into Seto's blue ones. "You really didn't plan to ask me?"

Seto was surprised that Joey nearly sounded disappointed. He looked at the blond lying next to him in a big and comfortable bed as he said, "Not until I have a good reason to think that you would say yes."

"What if I wouldn't say it? What if you only thought I would but won't?" Joey asked sounding worried again. A reaction Seto could understand more than the slight disappointment before and he wondered if he had imagined it before.

Seto put his arms around his beloved boyfriend and said, "Then I´ll accept your decision. I learned to wait with you. First for you to accept being together with me, and then the official move. I love you and the way it is now is enough. I would love more, but I'm happy as it is, with you in my arms."

Joey kept looking into those blue eyes that he had come to love. He had to think about what Yami and Yugi had said during the day and most of all about Yami's question about why it would be bad to marry Seto. Right now, while looking into those blue eyes, he wasn't able to even remember what he had answered, not to mention finding a answer to it now. Seto was the man of his dreams. They used to fight all the time in high school but now, ever since Seto had seen a different side of him and Joey had been forced to talk and get to know him better too, Seto had become the most important thing in his life. "How would you ask me?" Joey asked.

Seto stared at him for a moment. He had expected a lot but not that. "I'm not sure about that. I had thought about a lot of possibilities, like during a dinner the ring hidden in a drink or dessert. Or with flowers and candles and some romantic music in the background but that is all to sappy for you and most of all to cliche. I want something special for you. But didn't have the right idea yet."

Joey looked at him for a moment. Seto was right, his ideas were sappy and cliche, but romantic and right now, he doubted that he would be able to say no to any of his ideas. Right now while looking into Seto's eyes it was hard to understand himself why he didn't want to marry him. Sure it was scary to imagine to be tied to anyone for the rest of your life. But it wasn't just anyone, it was his dragon. And most of all, he liked the thought of having him for himself for ever.

The more Joey thought about it the more he wanted it and so he asked "If you had to ask me now, how would you do that?"

Seto looked confused at his boyfriend. He had thought that Joey would want to stop talking about it as soon as possible and might even pretend to sleep again just to get around it. And now he was asking all this strange questions. Seto thought about what to answer for a while before he said, "I don't know. I probably would just say that I love you so much that I don't want to live without you ever again and if you would make me to the happiest man alive by becoming Mr. Kaiba."

"Me a Kaiba? Why wouldn't you take my name?" Joey asked, upset that Seto was just assuming that he would take his name.

"I can't because of Kaiba Corp. silly." Seto simply stated.

"And what about both having different names, or making a double name?" Joey asked.

Seto looked at him in confusion once again. He was still asking all those questions and he simply didn't get why. Joey couldn't seriously consider to marry him anytime soon he hadn't even said "I love you" to him yet. "What double name? Kaiba-Wheeler or Wheeler-Kaiba? Because to be honest, both sounds rubbish. And if you really wouldn't want to take my name I would have to live with different ones but I would rather have that we have the same family name since we would be a family then."

Joey looked at him for a moment and then said, "Fine I think about it until the wedding is on but I want my ring now."

Seto stared now past confusion and utterly shocked.

"What?" Joey asked, "I thought you wanted to marry me and okay I know that asking a moment ago was more a how you would ask me but since I know that ya want to marry me I just take it as being asked and want my ring now."

Again Seto couldn't do anything but stare for a moment. It was hard for him to believe his ears. Joey wanted to actually marry him. "You mean it? You'll marry me?" Seto finally managed to ask.

"Sure, I love you." Joey said with a slight blush. He knew that it was the first time that he said it like this. But Seto had said that he knows that he loves him so often that he was sure that Seto knew that fact anyway.

Again Seto stared at his fiance. Joey had finally said the "L" word. And he had said yes, well not the actual word but close enough. Seto kissed him and while he did that he got the ring out of his pocket with one hand and put it on Joey's finger while he whispered, "I love you too."

Please Review

I'm writing one more one shot before the kids will show up. And I will close the poll when the next one shot is done.

I had hoped to start A twist in Time soon but my mother isn't well. She has some problems with her fingers and might need an operation and until her fingers are fixed I'm doing most of the work with caring for my sick dad so I can't do much writing for a bit longer than expected, sorry for that.

But I have an accound at deviantART under the same pen name because a friend has made a drawing of my OC's Seth and Joe-Joe from 'Dream Team' and I wanted to puplish them somewhere. Also TheRedLamp has made two drawings that are already online under

Feel free to have a look.

And before I forget it, I made a new video on my YouTube account (name: Lisburn86). You'll find a link to my account on my profile. The video is named 'Puppyshipping I'm already there' and is sort of part of my 'Dream Team' sequel 'Living the dream'.
I'm sorry to say that it can't be viewed in many countries but you can try and see if it workes in yours. America should work by the way, but in my own country it doesn't [apart from for me, since I made it I can watch it] sorry for everyone that can't view it, it's because of some damn rights on the song from BMG so I'm really sorry for that.
If you can watch it then please leave me a comment if possible. I would love to know what you think of it.
