Chapter 7: You wouldn't…would you?

Joey sighed as he rounded another corner. He was still thinking of what happened today. He had to admit…he was happy that Seto and him have become friends but he couldn't help thinking that he wanted it to be more. Of course he would wait to see how just being friend with him ended up first.

He stopped and looked around trying to remember the way to Seto's house. Hmm…I think if I take a short cut down the alley I will be close by, Joey thought as he turned down the alley.

As Joey was walking he thought he heard some foot steps. He turned but saw nothing there. He shrugged it off and started walking again. He then started to here the foot steps again but there was more this time. He started walking faster but the steps seemed to be doing the same. Then he went into a full out run, trying t get out of the alley as fast as he could. He was close to the end when a person stepped out in front of him knocking Joey on his back.

"Well, well, well…look who it is" the person said

Joey gasped as he looked up "Dad"

The person stepped into the light so you could see a men no older the 45 wearing baggy close and he looked like he hadn't showered in weeks.

"Yes Joey…it's your dear old dad. So how is that rich guy treating you?"

"Fine…what do you want anyway basterd" Joey said as he stood up

"Tsk tsk tsk….what a way to talk to your father" Joeys dad said as he put a hand on Joeys shoulder. Joey slapped it off

"You…are NOT….my father" Joey said as he tried to get past

One of hid dad's goons soon grabbed him and put both of his hands behind his back, putting an arm around Joey's neck.

"Now come on Joey, be nice. Would you do your dear old dad a favor and steal some money from that rich guy"

"Never"

"If that's the way you want it Joey, fine. But don't forget what happened last time you where this close to someone. He could do the same thing to you that that other boy did. Think about it" Joeys dad said as he walked away

Joey was about to say something when he got hit on the head and blacked out.

Seto had been riding in his car for sometime not seeing his blonde friend anywhere. 'Maybe he went back to my house and I am just worrying' Seto thought as he told his driver to head home.

He was driving past an alley when he saw someone with blond hair laying at the opening.

"Wait driver, stop" Seto said as he soon got out of the car when the driver stopped.

He ran to the person hoping that it wasn't who he thought it was. He kneeled down next to them and turned them over. He gasped as he saw that it was Joey. He had many cuts and bruises all over him and his clothes were ripped and slashed.

"Joey….JOEY" Seto said as he shook Joey seeing if he could wake him up. He got no reply. He felt around for a pulse and sighed when he found one. He picked him up bridal style and carried him back to his car.

Uh…..were am I

Joey felt someone's hand brushing a bang off his face and a wet cloth being out on his fore head. Joey opened his eyes to see that he was in a well light room lying on a bed. He turned to see Seto wrapping up one of his wounds.

"S-Seto"

Seto looked up and smiled as he finished tying the bandage and sat on the side of the bed. "Ha, how are you feeling?"

Joey sighed as he closed his eyes "Everything hurts"

"Well, luckily the bump on your head isn't that big and your cuts stopped bleeding so you have no serious wounds" Seto said as he ruffled Joeys hair. Seto wanted to ask Joey what happened to him but thought he could leave it until Joey got better. Seto got up and walked to the door about to leave when he heard Joey call his name.

"Seto"

"Yes" Seto said as he turned his head

"Um…never mind"

"Ok, but if you need anything to hesitate to ask" Seto said as he continued to walk to the door. He was about to leave when he heard a sob. He turned to see a tear run down Joey's cheek. Seto ran to him and sat down next to him.

"Joey, what's wrong" Seto said as he wiped the tear off Joeys cheek. He was surprised when Joey jumped up and hugged him, crying into his shoulder. Seto soon got over his surprise and put his arms around Joey, rubbing his back. "Shhhh…its ok Joey. What's wrong"

Joey continued to cry and pushed his face more into Seto's shoulder. "Seto…you…..you wouldn't do anything bad to me…like rape me or something like that…would you"

Seto gasped as he was surprised by the question. "Why would you think I would do anything like that to you"

"Because…I ran into my father in the ally way...he asked me to steal some stuff from you. I said no. He then told me what happened last time I was this close to someone…saying that it may happen again if I stayed with you"

Seto looked down at Joey, who was still crying and was now shacking. He held Joey closer rubbing his nose in Joey's hair, whispering soothing words in his ear.

Once Joey calmed down, Seto pulled away from him and put his hand under Joeys chin, holding Joeys face up to look at him. "Joey, I would never, not even in a million years, not even for a billion dollars, do anything to hurt you. Ok"

Joey nodded as he once again laid his head on Seto's shoulder; closing is eyes as he sighed. Seto was surprised, but he didn't mind. Maybe he just needs a shoulder to cry on, Seto thought as he rubbed Joeys back. When he was sure that Joey was asleep, he laid Joey down, moving a bang off of his face. He bent down and kissed Joey's head, pulling the covers up on Joey. He then got up to leave, making sure Joey was comfortable.

"Seto"

"Hmm" Seto said as he turned to see Joey looking at him.

Joey smiled. "Thank you" Joey said as he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Seto smiled too. "You're welcome Joey" Seto said as he closed the door behind him and walked back to his room to get some sleep.

An: YAAAAAAAAAA…I actually wrote a chapter….I got off my last ass and wrote a chapter. I really hope you like it. And yes, I know they are supposed to be friends and stuff but think of everything in a friendly manner, not in an 'I love you' manner. I really hoped you liked this chapter. Know all you have to do is push that purple button and review. Thanks .
