Sweet Dreams Never LastChapter 10
A Bit Of Fluff And A Sweet Confession
Stepping into the shower once he had shed his clothing and bandages, Joey allowed the warm water to cascade down his lithe frame.
He sighed in complete content, letting all of his tired muscles relax.
- - - Seto - - -
'I hope he's okay on his own. He still seams really weak.' Seto thought worriedly while pacing.
'I can't hear him making any movements.' He continued to worry.
He decided to knock on the door to see if Joey was still okay.
'Knock, Knock.'
"Yeah?" Joey asked.
Seto sighed in relief before answering.
"Are you okay Joey?" Seto asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Joey answered again.
Now that he was sure Joey was okay, Seto sat down on the unmade bed and waited for Joey's re-appearance.
- - - Joey - - -
Once Joey had finished washing the conditioner out of his hair, he let himself relax a bit more.
After a while, Joey started to feel a little light-headed from the heat and steam in the room and before he knew what had happened, he found himself sat down with his back and head against the wall behind him.
Joey sat there for a few minutes, not able to find his voice or get up for that matter.
Because, he couldn't reach to turn off the shower, he was getting worse as the warm water continued to cascade over his weak being.
Joey was just about to let himself go into unconsciousness when he heard the bathroom door open. Then all went black.
- - - Seto - - -
'Joey is taking a really long time! I hope he's still okay. It's not good for him in this state to stay under warm water.' He thought worriedly.
He decided to knock on the door again even if it might annoy Joey but he was worried.
'Knock, knock.' Seto tried but got no answer.
"Joey?" he called, but still no response.
'Should I go in? What if he's fine and then I really embarrass us both?' He thought getting anxious.
'I'll go in. Something could be wrong.' He concluded.
He opened the door only a bit and watched as steam rushed through the small gap.
"Joey?" He called again, but still nothing.
Opening the door more and letting out a lot more steam, Seto moved swiftly through the door and closed it behind him before heading towards the blue tinted shower glass door.
Opening it slowly, Seto's eyes widened dramatically.
There in front of him was Joey slumped on the floor of the shower, his back against the wall behind him and his eyes closed.
Seto cursed under his breath and quickly turned off the shower, getting soaked in the process.
He positioned himself next to Joey and knelt down to his level.
Picking him up bridal style and getting even wetter, Seto brought Joey back into his bedroom and placed him onto his bed.
He then ran into the bathroom and grabbed the towel that he had set there before.
He quickly made his way back to Joey and picked him up again, wrapping the towel around him.
Seto sighed and sat back down on the wet bed, rocking Joey gently back and forth in his lap.
After a few minutes, which seemed like hours to Seto, Joey came back into consciousness.
With a quiet groan, his honey eyes fluttered open and slowly adjusted to the light.
Looking up slightly, he saw Seto's worried crystal blue coloured orbs worriedly looking back at him.
"What happened?" Joey asked slightly groggily.
"You passed out by the looks of it. I told you to call me if you felt you were about to pass out." Seto said almost cross but mostly worried.
"Sorry Seto, I didn't even know it was coming." Joey explained.
'He actually would have come if I called?' Joey thought quite surprised.
Seto sighed and did an act so unlike him. He wrapped his arms around Joey tighter and laid Joey's head on his well toned chest, hugging him closely.
Joey's eyes went wide he was utterly shocked. He was in heaven.
'He cares! He actually cares!' Joey thought as fresh tears made their way down his soft rosy cheeks.
After a long contented hug, Seto laid Joey back down into his lap and gazed at his face to see Joey's tear streaked cheeks.
"Why are you crying Joey?" Seto asked kindly.
"Because you care! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to care." Joey explained softly as more tears were released.
"Joey, I have always cared about you, whether I showed it or not and its because I…" Seto stopped himself, thinking this confession through before saying it out loud.
Joey listened carefully, really confused as to what Seto was trying to say. But also hoping it was the confession he had always hoped for.
Seto sighed after thinking it through.
"Because I love you Joey." Seto finally said although quietly.
Joey was shocked. He couldn't believe his ears. It was too good to be true.
"What did you say?" Joey asked quietly, hoping he had heard correctly, his eyes still wide.
"I said I love you Joey." Seto repeated, confidence slipping away.
More tears started to swell up in Joey's eyes. His ears weren't lying to him! Seto really loved him!
There was silence for a few moments as Seto watched Joey's face, looking for rejection until he saw Joey's eyes water and tears started to make their way down his face once again.
"Do you really mean that Seto?" Joey asked quietly.
"Of course I do Joey. I love everything about you! Well… all except you're um… habit." Seto softly explained.
Joey then smiled a true smile. He unwrapped the towel enough to free his scarred arms and reached up to wrap around Seto's neck slightly timidly.
Smile still present, Joey brought Seto closer and held him in a more than loving embrace.
When the hug ended, Joey looked into Seto's deep blue orbs and sighed contently.
"I love you too Seto. I have for such a long time." Joey confessed.
Leaning up again, Joey captured Seto's soft lips with his own.
It wasn't rushed but it was loving, a truly enjoyable moment.
The sensual kiss lasted a couple of moments but they both realised their need for oxygen, so the kiss was broken for now.
Joey unwrapped his arms from Seto's neck and re-wrapped the towel around his chest.
After a while of just gazing into each other's eyes, Joey started to shiver violently.
'Crap! I forgot he needed to keep warm.' Seto mentally smacked himself.
"Joey, I'm going to leave you on the bed for a sec. I'm just going to get the clothes I set out for you." Seto explained.
Once Joey had nodded his head in agreement, Seto stood up and placed Joey lying down on the bed still wrapped in the towel and shaking.
Seto retrieved the clothes and walked back to Joey.
"Do you need any help Joey?" Seto asked.
"Yes please." Joey answered slightly pleading.
Seto nodded and picked Joey up.
Placing his feet on the floor, Seto let the blond teen lean on him for support as he helped Joey get into the pyjamas.
Once fully dressed, Seto set Joey down on the bed but sitting up with his feet on the floor.
"Wait here a sec, I just need to get another towel to help dry your hair." Seto explained.
"Okay. But please hurry up I'm freezing." Joey almost whimpered his answer.
Seto nodded and got a fresh white fluffy towel from the bathroom.
He then gently rubbed Joey's wet blond locks with it to dry his wet mop of hair.
Once it was almost dry, Seto moved Joey over to the armchair so he could change the wet sheets.
Eventually, Joey found himself in Seto's nice and dry bed as Seto himself was walking back out of the bathroom with the first aid kit in hand.
Seto quickly re-bandaged Joey's arms before getting undressed himself out of his wet clothes.
When Seto was fully dressed, he walked over to the bed and sat down softly as to not disturb Joey.
"Seto?" Joey asked.
"Yeah?" Seto replied quietly.
"I'm cold!" Joey explained in the tone of a five year old.
Seto didn't reply but instead took off his t-shirt. He then pulled back the covers and helped Joey to sit up.
Once Joey's nightshirt was removed, Seto climbed into bed next to him and pulled the covers over them both.
They cuddled for a long while with Joey's head resting on Seto's chest while he was slipping in and out of sleep.
The comforting silence was soon broken as they heard a soft knock on the door.
"Come in." Seto said tiredly.
The door opened quietly and Yugi popped his head through the door.
"Um… Hi guys. Would it be okay if we spoke with Joey before we have to go?" Yugi asked timidly.
Seto sat up and removed himself from the confines of his bed. He nodded his approval and began to put on the same black t-shirt that he had removed earlier.
He then manoeuvred himself so that he was at the foot of the bed next to where Yami was standing and giving him a knowing smirk.
Seto ignored it and watched Joey talk with Yugi.
Now that Seto wasn't in the way, Yugi sat down on the edge of the bed so that he could see a half asleep Joey.
"Hey Joey. How are you feeling?" Yugi asked quietly.
"Tired but other then that, great!" Joey answered exhausted.
"We have to go now Joey but maybe we will you see around soon." Yugi hoped.
"Yeah sure, you can count on it." Joey replied with a real smile.
'He's actually smiling!' Yugi thought getting teary eyed.
Although still half asleep, he noticed the small crystalline tears that were forming in Yugi's big bright amethyst eyes.
"What's wrong Yuge?" Joey asked getting worried.
"Its nothing Joey." Yugi sniffled quietly.
"Okay Yuge. If you're sure." Joey finally said.
They were talking about random things for a few moments until Joey started to get tired and Yugi along with Yami had to leave.
"Bye Joey! I hope you feel better soon. And thanks for letting us stay over for the night Kaiba." Yugi said gratefully when he turned to face Seto.
Joey said his thanks and goodbyes to his two friends as Seto led them to the main entrance to the mansion.
Once they all had their outdoor coats and shoes on, Seto led them to his garage.
When Seto opened the large door, a lush black Mercedes was revealed.
"Hop in, I will give you a lift home." Seto offered feeling in a rather good mood.
"Really? Thanks Kaiba" Yugi said surprised.
Seto unlocked the car and they all hopped in. Seto behind the wheel, Yami in the front passenger seat and Yugi in the back seat.
The car revved up and they were soon driving away from the mansion.
- - - Joey - - -
Joey was practically asleep when the door opened again.
Opening his honey coloured orbs tiredly, Joey saw Mokuba and Serenity entering quietly.
"Hey guys." Joey yawned.
"Hey Joey. Are you feeling better? You look better then you did this morning." Serenity said caringly.
"Yeah, I feel better thanks sis." Joey smiled back.
"Okay, we will let you sleep now, you look tired." Serenity kissed his cheek before walking back over to Mokuba.
Joey nodded and smiled kindly as they walked back out of the room swiftly, shutting the door quietly behind them.
Mokuba and serenity walked to the game room for a re-match at DDR since Serenity won last night.
In Seto's room, Joey was thinking to himself.
'I hope he gets home soon, I don't feel too good.' He thought.
He soon started to doze off with a headache as he started to shiver coldly.
