Kaiba woke up to nerf guns and screaming. More specifically, a screaming Mokuba and a laughing Joey. It had taken three seconds for him to go from passed out to awake and alarmed, which in his opinion was too abrupt.

"Wakeeeee upppp big brother!"

Mokubas voice was hardly distinguishable in his groggy state. His alertness was tested by an array or nerf darts to the head, followed by a large weight on his chest. He groaned loudly and opened his eyes, coming face to face with a grinning Joey.

"Good mornin' sleeping beauty!"

his rival teased, breaking his personal space boundries by quite a bit. The blonde was practically on top of him. He then felt one more foam dart hit his butt, and then groaned again when Mokuba jumped on top of them both, giggling.

"We're gonna be late!"

This roused Kaiba quite effectively and he shot up, looking at the alarm clock and causing his brother to fall on the floor. 7:25.

"Shit-Fuck."

The CEO cursed, and then covered his mouth when his baby brother laughed and Joey smacked him in the arm. He was just now becoming aware of how close the duelist was to him- their legs were intertwined with only sheets separating them and Joey was leaning back on his bare shoulder.

"Get off of me, mutt…I'm up"

He grumbled, pushing the boy off of him. Once they left the room laughing, Kaiba quickly burrowed back under his sheets and began to doze off. He was hungover off of sleeping pills, and was not ready to face the world right now. As his head sunk into his fluffy pillow, he finally felt at peace again and intended on relaxing. He had almost fell asleep again when Joey and Mokuba strutted in and started jabbing him.

"Bigg brotherrrrrr"

Mokuba whined

"You're gonna make us late"

Kaiba groaned and threw a pillow at him.

"I'm not going to school."

Mokuba set his backpack down and looked concerned- Kaiba didn't miss school. He was rigid about his schedule and made sure his brother was too.

"Does this means we don't have to either?!"

The long haired boy exclaimed, practically shaking with excitement. Kaiba fell silent for a few seconds and rolled over

"Sure. I don't care. "

They definitely didn't get the hint to leave. Instead, his little bro was on a hyper rampage and his nemesis was shooting the kid with the nerf gun. This of course broke out into an all out wrestling match. After a few minutes of their squabbling, Kaiba had enough and shooed them out

" 16 rooms in the house and you choose to mess around in mine?"

Mokuba trotted off, but Joey just sat down beside him on the bed. He felt a hand brush his cheek, and then he opened his eyes and looked at the blonde demanding an answer

"eh, you had a hair on your cheek"

He said sheepishly, scratching his head. The CEO grunted and closed his eyes, he was beginning to get used to being touched. Joey was touchier than most people he knew- not necessarily in a romantic way, it was just how he communicated. He noticed that Joey did the same with Mokuba and surprisingly, actually didn't mind being touched by the blonde. He maybe even enjoyed it.

"Hey, I just wanted to thank ya for lettin' me stay. It was real nice of ya"

Kaiba opened his eyes at the sincerity he heard in Joeys voice and smiled slightly. He had always been grateful.

"It's nothing."

Joey cleared his throat and began to fiddle with his shirt, looking down at his his feet

"Uh..I have a question.."

His voice sounded uncertain and a bit shaky. The CEO followed up with a "yes?" after looking at him expectedly and receiving no question. Joey took a deep breath and a tinge of pink lit up his cheeks.

"Do you wanna go to dinner with me tonight?"

He blurted suddenly. Kaiba was absolutely shocked- was this a date? Was he looking into it too much? What guy invites another guy to dinner if it's not a date? What was he gonna wear? Where were they going to go? He tried to stop his racing mind for a second and replied with a single word

"Yes."

Joeys eyes opened a bit wider

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"I said Yes."

His roommate looked more shocked than he was, and got a dopey grin on his face before getting up and leaving without another word. As Kaiba laid their underneath his ivory sheets, he could hear footsteps trailing towards the hall, followed by the closing of the door and

"sweet dreams."

There was a million things running through Seto Kaibas mind at that moment, but sleep definitely wasn't one of them. A feeling of warmth spread across his stomach and he closed his eyes to savor it- he finally knew what that feeling was. He liked Joey Wheeler, and when he was around the brunette felt like he meant something. Not because of his money- Joey just wanted to be around him. Kaiba felt his stomach do summersaults, followed the feeling of a nerf dart hitting him square in the forehead. Somethings probably wouldn't change- but he was okay with that. He'd get him back later.
