True to their word it was only a few days had passed before they came for Joey. Standing in the front room Joey clutched Seto's arm with one hand and his suitcase with the other. Fear was etched into his face as they waited. Seto hadn't said a thing about what was going to happen, causing Joey to grow worried.
"Seto." Joey uttered quietly as they heard a car pull up in front of the mansion.
"What is it Pup?" Seto answered calmly.
Joey felt a sinking feeling in his stomach when he heard Seto's tone. Mentally shaking of the nagging feeling in his mind he spoke again.
"What's going to happen to me?"
"Nothing's going to happen to you. You're going to go with them for now," the door opened. "And then I'm going to bring you back."
Joey smiled and quickly kissed Seto before two men, one sporting a black eye, walked in.
The other man seemed friendly when Joey first saw him. He looked young, probably a little over twenty, with light blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. Joey instantly trusted him. The other…not as much. He recognized him as the man Seto hit. His hair was dark messy compared to the first time he saw him. The black eye was clearly visible even though it was clear that the man had tried to cover it up.
"Hello my name is Len and I would appreciate if you called me Lenny." The first, friendly man, said. "This is my partner, Duke."
The other man didn't say anything; Joey noticed that Duke was glaring at Seto. Part of him wanted to laugh because Seto was actually glaring back. Len noticed this and in an effort to regain their attention cleared his thought.
"Well of course you both," He turned his blue eyes to Joey showing he hadn't forgotten he was there. "Know why we're here."
Seto nodded briskly.
"I know exactly why you're here." Seto's glare in tensed and he moved his arm protectively around Joey's waist. "And I won't let you take him from me for long."
"You don't have a say you low life…" Duke snarled before Len placed a hand on his shoulder in warning.
"Keep it professional Duke."
Duke stepped back but continued his glare. Seto's arm tightened around Joey slightly before he turned Joey around to face him, completely blocking out Len and Duke from the conversation.
"Listen to me Joey." Joey nodded giving Seto his full attention. "I want you to go with them," Joey was about to argue before Seto cut him off. "But I will come for you. They won't take you away from me without a fight. We will be together and we will get married. Just hold on and don't do anything reckless."
Joey didn't like it but nodded. He grabbed his suitcase tightly and slowly stepped out of Seto's arms, instantly feeling colder. All he wanted was to do was throw his suitcase at those damn social workers, mostly Duke, and run back into Seto's arms. A small lump formed in his thought, because he knew he couldn't do that, if he did he might never see Seto again. They would take him far away and Seto would forget him. He had to play it safe and stay as close to Seto as possible. If not… Joey felt the bottle of pills in his pocket feeling heavy the more he walked away.
Closing his eyes tightly he felt a warm hand on his shoulder and he opened his eyes to see the smiling face of Len. Len leaned down and whispered in Joey's ear causing Seto to growl protectively but Joey paid no mind to it.
"Don't cry Joey. Stay strong for Seto no matter what." Len smiled knowingly then turned to walk out the door.
"Come on you two we need to get Joey to his foster home before it gets to dark."
Duke motioned for Joey to go first and with every step he took he felt a sharp pain through his heart and tears in his eyes. When they got to the car and Joey looked back he sobbed when he saw Seto standing in the door frame with tears in his eyes as well. Trying to wipe away his tears he was forced, by Duke, into the back seat of the car. Never taking his eyes off of Seto and Seto never taking his eyes off of Joey, they drove away. Feeling broken and defeated Joey turned to face the front when the mansion was finally out of view.
"You know," Len began looking at Joey through the review mirror. "The foster family is really nice. And they have kids; one I think is about your age."
Joey didn't respond forcing Len to give up on the small talk and focus on the road. Joey stared out the window at the passing scenery. His tears where dry and his body felt cold. He wished that Seto was here to warm him up.
'But he's not here.' His inner mind shouted.
'Shut up!' Joey shot back.
'Get over it! Seto wouldn't want you to be giving up! At least not this soon.'
' ….'
'Exactly now toughen up and stick it out!'
Making up his mind Joey held his head up high. He wasn't going to give up so soon, Seto would never forgive him if he did. Joey looked back at the passing scenery.
'I'll be waiting for you Seto, don't leave me behind!'
