Science Fiction (Rated T)

"Why won't ya tell me what we're doin' here?" whined Joey as he dragged his feet while following Seto deep inside Kaiba Corp.

"I already told you. It's a surprise. Now shut the hell up already," snapped the brunet.

"Hey! Ya can't talk to me like that on our anniversary!"

"I can talk to you however I very damn well please," replied Seto, growing tired of the blond's incessant nagging. Couldn't he just be patient? Was that so hard? Looking back at Joey—and noticing that he was sighing in boredom—he figured it was.

"Seto—"

"Just give me five more fucking minutes! Is that so much to ask?"

Joey crossed his arms and pouted. "Whatever. Ya probably forgot about our anniversary anyway and now you're stallin' for time."

Seto had to resist the urge to throttle his lover. But with what was in store…it would be a bad idea. A very bad idea.

Taking a deep breath, he punched in a code that unlocked a door to their left. Joey jumped when the door suddenly popped open, revealing what looked like a laboratory.

"Uh…what is this place?"

It was the brunet's turn to sigh. "This is Kaiba Corp.'s laboratory. We do a number of experiments down here."

"What kind of experiments?' asked the blond as he peeked inside. Seto shoved him in.

"You'll see."

"You're not gonna experiment on me are ya?" Seto just stared at him. "ARE YA?"

"Just shut up and follow me," the brunet replied as he marched down the brightly lit hallway.

"That's not an answer!" Joey yelled after him, but he followed anyway.

As they proceeded down the hall, the blond couldn't help but peer into the windows of closed doors, hoping to catch a glimpse of some so-called experiments. Even with his face pressed up against the glass, he really couldn't make out much.

"We're here," Seto announced. And was he…smiling? Yes, he was.

"And what's here?" inquired Joey.

"My surprise for you."

"And that would be?"

"Let's just say we'll be making a couple additions to our household."

"…"

"Live additions."

"No!" Joey screamed, waving an accusing finger at his lover. "No way in hell!"

Seto frowned, confused. "No what?"

"That's what ya meant by experiments! And ya know what? Ya can count me out!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're gonna try to impregnate me!" the blond declared as he backed away from his lover.

Seto opened his mouth before closing it again. After a while, his wits returned. "Where the hell did you get that idea from?"

"Um…live additions?"

"I am only saying this once, Joey," the brunet started, feeling a headache coming on. "I am not impregnating you."

"Okay," the blond replied in embarrassment. "…are ya sure?"

"Joey—"

"Okay! I got it! You're not knockin' me up!"

"Good. Now get in here," he said as he shoved Joey into the room. The both paused in their steps when someone—who looked like a doctor—approached them.

"You're here just in time!" the man squealed, which only served to unnerve Joey. "The hatching will begin shortly!"

"Hatchin'?" the blond echoed, his eyes shooting to the brunet.

"We've been…experimenting on creating new life forms. By manipulating the DNA of current existing organisms, we've been able to create a new species of animal," explained Seto.

Joey froze. What the hell had his lover created? Would it grow to be enormous and devour them? Would it destroy the world or civilization as they knew it? Hadn't Seto seen movies like this?

"What did ya create?" the blond asked hesitantly.

"Dragons," Seto replied excitedly.

"…dragons?" Joey's eyes widened.

"Yes. Full grown, they shouldn't be any bigger than a medium-sized dog. And we currently have two eggs ready to hatch."

"How'd ya do this?"

"Well, we constructed the DNA for the dragons using a variety of components from the DNA of existing reptiles. After that had been accomplished, we created the embryos and implanted them in an animal that would be able to develop the eggs to their appropriate sizes," elaborated the brunet.

"What kinda animal did ya use?"

"…I can't be sure about that. I just know we have two eggs that are ready to hatch."

"Are these dragons gonna be able to fly?" Joey asked. The dragons he knew of could fly.

"I don't know."

"What the hell do ya know then?"

"That once the dragon eggs hatch, we'll be taking the dragonlings home and caring for them."

"…dragonlings?"

"Shut up. That's what I'm calling them," the brunet snapped.

"Okay…" trailed off Joey. "So…this is the surprise? Baby dragons?"

"Yes," Seto replied unsurely. "Are you…unhappy with that?"

"No! I love it! It's just…"

"Just what?"

"I just can't really see ya takin' care of a baby anythin'."

The brunet stared at him.

"What?"

And he continued to stare.

"Would ya stop lookin' at me like that?"

"MR. KAIBA, THEY'RE HATCHING!" screeched the doctor-looking man.

Seto nearly trampled Joey over on his way to the eggs that were beginning to tremble. The brunet had been right in describing their size. They were about the size of an ostrich egg, except they looked leathery and were a dark brown.

Suddenly, a little crack started to form near the top of one of the eggs.

"They're hatchin'," Joey whispered. Seto put his arm around the blond and smiled.

When the dragon in the first egg finally managed to make it out, the blond gasped in surprise. The dragonling had pitch-black scales and ruby-red eyes; it looked like a miniature version of his Red-Eyes Black Dragon. And when it called to him, Joey's heart melted.

"Since this one seems to have imprinted on you, let's have you clean him off, hm?" said the man next to him.

"Okay," the blond replied in awe. "Wait. How do ya know it's a him?"

"We genetically modified these dragons. This one was to be male and the other one female."

"Oh," he replied, looking back at the dragon.

"Here. Clean him off with this."

Joey took the towel that was handed to him and approached the baby dragon. It looked up at him adorably as he took the towel and began cleaning him off.

"You're so cute, I could eat ya up!" he said. "Wait. What's he supposed to eat?"

No answer.

"Seto?" Joey turned to look at his lover and ask again, but paused when he saw that the other egg had hatched. This dragonling was the purest white he had ever seen as well as startling blue eyes. She was beautiful.

"Ya made sure they looked like our dragons…huh?"

The brunet smiled and nodded as he, too, began cleaning off the new baby dragon. "Yes. They sure are precious."

"Yeah."

"OW!"

"What happened?" Joey exclaimed, alarmed.

"She bit me!" Seto accused, glaring at the little dragon.

"Hm…I guess she's hungry. Do dragons drink milk?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know?"

"Fine! Let's just take them home and keep givin' them stuff until we find somethin' they like!"

They liked meat. Raw meat. Lots of raw meat. Joey didn't know something about the size of a kitten could eat so much. Where the hell was all that meat going?

"What're we gonna name them?" the blond asked as his little black dragonling chewed on a raw steak.

"I was thinking of naming her Aoi because of her eyes," Seto commented as he wiggled a piece of steak in front of said dragonling. She kept snapping at it and missing.

"Okay. Then I'll name him Akai," he said with a grin. "And ya shouldn't tease her like that."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because—"

"OW! SHE BIT ME AGAIN!"

"…I told ya not to tease her."

"Shut up!"

"Where the hell is he?" Seto growled as he searched high and low for Akai. He was nowhere to be seen.

When they'd gotten up that morning, Aoi was nestled up between him and Joey in their bed…but Akai was gone.

Crunch!

Seto stopped and listened.

Crunch! Crack!

The sound was coming from his study. Bracing himself, the brunet pushed open the door…and nearly screamed.

Sitting on his desk was Akai.

And he was gnawing on his laptop!

"No! Bad Akai!" Seto roared as he threw himself at the dragonling.

Akai squawked and jumped to the ground before scurrying out the door. Turning to face his mangled laptop, the brunet realized that there was no saving it.

Spinning on his heel, he marched out of the room and into the bedroom where Joey sat with both Aoi and Akai. The black dragonling squawked again once he spotted Seto.

"What did ya do?" Joey accused, glaring at the brunet.

"What did I do? He's the one you should be accusing! He destroyed my laptop!"

"Seto, he's just a baby! He didn't know any better! And he probably got hungry while we were sleepin'!"

"So he ate my laptop?"

"Okay, so maybe I don't have an explanation for that. And maybe ya should lock your study from now on. And maybe we need to…dragonling proof the mansion. But ya can't really blame him. He didn't know any better."

Seto frowned, knowing when he'd lost an argument. He looked at Akai, who'd rolled over onto his back, looking up at him with what could only be described as puppy-eyes. And how could he stay mad at a face that looked like that?

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he rubbed Akai's belly and smiled. Suddenly the dragonling's stomach rumbled and out came a very loud belch…accompanied with flames.

Joey quietly picked up Akai in one arm as he grabbed Aoi with the other. He slowly backed out of the room, trying not to look at Seto's singed face.

"I'm gonna…go get them somethin' to eat," he said as he left the room. By the time he made to the kitchen, Seto let out a roar that told everyone that—even the dragonlings—that there was a papa dragon who wasn't pleased with having his face singed with a fire burp.

Or having his laptop eaten.

Or having his shoes used as a dragon potty.

But Seto would find that out later.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY SHOES?"

Okay, so maybe it was sooner rather than later.
