Chapter 8

AN: So are we all ready for some romance? I know I am! ^_^

Seto and Joey slept soundly through the night for the first time in what felt like forever. Joey had had a hard life and had not slept soundly in years and Seto had not been sleeping at all since WilaMina announced Joey was gonna die a week ago. The first one to wake up at 11am in fact was Joey Wheeler. They had went to bed at Midnight and woken up at 11am. 11 hours of sleep felt great. Stretching and Yawning, Joey turned his head to stare at his lover. Seto's mouth was open and drool was dripping down his face. He looked rather adorable and all innocent that way in fact.

Letting Seto sleep for a while longer, Joey found himself walking down the hallway to check on Mokuba. Mokuba was fast asleep as well. Sighing in defeat, Joey trudged into the kitchen to fix everyone some breakfast. Joey was gonna cook scrambled eggs, bacon, ham and toast for everyone. Within 10 minutes, the kitchen was filled with a beautiful aroma that could melt even the great Seto Kaiba.

At 11:30, everything was prepared beautifully. Orange juice and coffee was poured and 3 plates of food was filled to the top. Now all that was missing was his gorgeous lover.

The smell of bacon was what awoken him. Seto loved bacon. Rolling over to see if Joey was still next to him, Seto realized it must indeed ne Joey cooking for him then.

Stretcing and yawning, Seto padded his way down the hall in just his boxers. Making his way down the stairs, Seto was greeted by a pair of warm lips at the last stair. "Well good morning to you too dear" Seto said with a wry grin in place.

"Good morning babe. I missed you" Joey said back, his lips back on Seto's quickly. Joey was quite hungry you see, but it wasnt for food right now. Riught now all that mattered was Seto's lips on his and the raw passion, passion that he felt only for Seto Kaiba.

That same passion was being awoken inside Seto himself. The feel of Joey's tongue on his. The way their bodies were pressed together. Their hands feeling each others bare chests. The moans and the groans. Seto all but forgot his meal that was waiting for him. That is, Until...

'SETO" Came the roar of a small child bouynding his way down the stairs. Mokuba was wide awake and hungry.

Upon seeing what was happening on the bottom step, Mokuba froze. "Oh. Ew." Mokuba exclaimed, a wide grin in place on his face. Mokuba was very happy for his brother you see. After Wilma harsly dumped him, Mokuba didnt think Seto would fall in love ever again. Seto's heart had hardened and froze over, because Wilma was the girl he proposed to and wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Then Seto met Joey and the smiles were back as well as the happiness. Mokuba couldn't be more happier for both men.

Joey grinned at Mokuba and ruffled his hair. "Well who asked you to eavesdrop?" Seto only watched them silently, a grin still in place. They really were the best things in his life and way more than he deserved.

Seto could blame it all on WilaMona, but that would be a big lie. Seto had always been cold and emotionless, and yes Mokuba would say otherwise, but Seto knew better. Seto was so heartless, that Wilma had once asked him how could he love her when he didnt love himself. That was why Wilma left him. His answer had been he could never love her.

Feeling someone take his hand, Seto looked down at the joined hands. It was Joeys hand curled around his. Joey's hand in his felt so warm and pleasant, that it warmed his heart. It wasn't often that Seto felt warm and happy and so content, but he definitely did right about now.

Love coursed through him in fact. Love so great, it went straight through his heart. Letting Joey guide him to the table with a wide grin on his face, Seto wondered what he had done to deserve such a wonderful life lately.

All three boys took a seat and proceeded to eat their breakfast. Everyone was talking lightly and lauging together. They felt like a happy family in fact. All negatives were out of their lives. WilaMona was gone and no longer a factor and today was gonna be te day Seto asked Joey to move in with him and Mokuba.

Seto knew what a huge step this was for not only him, but for Joey as well. His father abused him wen he was only 6. His mother took away his sister and his best friend when he was only 8, and his best guy friend used him and raped him.

Joey had more trust issues than Seto could ever imagine. Seto himself had had a hard life as well. His parents died when he was 5. His stepfather abused him and god knows what the orphans had done to him as well.

Watching Joey eat in peace, Seto pondered just exactly how to go about asking him. Seto was terrified of rejection you see, and Seto didnt know how he would handle it if Joey did indeed say no. As if Joey sensed that Seto wanted to ask him something, Joey grinned and said "Whats on your mind Blue eyes?"

Seto watched Mokuba go outside to play kissing Seto and Joey on the cheek each to buy himself some time. Flushing and trying to avoid Joey, Seto said Nothing. Joeys hand reached under his chin and forced Seto to stare at him directly. "Oh fine! I had a question for you" Seto admitted reluctantly.

"Im all ears" Joey replied kindly, smiling at his lover with reassurance and love.

"Iwantyoutolivewithme" Seto mumbled very fast and quietly.

"Im sorry? I didnt quite catch that" Joey said, confused.

"I want you to live with me" Seto said more clearly, but still very quietly.

"Is that what's got you so nervous?" Joey demanded.

When Seto could only nod, Joey looked serious again. Living with Seto would be wonderful, but Joey couldnt help but wonder if things were moving way too fast. They had only been together for a month, after all right?

Opening his mouth to give his answer, Joey noticed that Seto wasn't even staring at him or watching him. Seto was staring at the place Mokuba had been eating at. Running to the window, Seto could see no sign of him anywhere. Looking back at the seat, there was a note there instead.

Picking up the note, Joey read it to Seto who froze on the spot. "If you ever wanna see little Mokie again, You best listen to me. Tomorrow, Ill send another note. Dont worry, Mokie will be safe. Have a nice day, WilaMina."

Joey said "Well mother fucker."

And all Seto could do was stare blankly at the note and feel like his entire world was crashing down around him.

AN: Well you had some romance right? I hope that was enough *grins* Time for Wilma to come back! Dont worry, Mokuba will be fine:)

Wondering if you like my twisted mind, KLD:P
