Well, what did you think of that last chapter? So far I'm liking how its developing, but that's just me. This is all off the top of my head, so if it does seem thrown together I'm sorry that I'm so rusty in story writing T-T

Warning: If you don't like yaoi then turn back now because this is a yaoi fanfic for Yugioh. Also the mature warning is because of Joey's habits and because in yaoi…"stuff" happens between guys, ya know? Also, there's swearing. You've been warned! And violence, can't forget the violence.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Yugioh in any way, shape, or form. I just write based on the characters and the setting.

Please…just go away! Joey begged in his own mind. Joey's feet gave out from under him and he fell forward onto the tiled floor. His father shoved the door open all the way and came in and stood over the curled up mass on the floor that was his son. He came down on the poor kid and held his limbs so he couldn't escape him. His lips gained forced access under Joey's collar on his sweatshirt.

"Hey, stop it!" Joey shrieked and squirmed in an attempt to get away from the perverted old man.

His father gave him no reply. A hand was felt wandering up Joey's shirt, stroking his soft skin roughly.

"I said stop!" Joey managed to get an arm free and punched his father in the face and tried to push him off. His father was shocked for only a few seconds before grabbing Joey around the neck and smacking the back of his head hard against the tile. Joey cried out in pain and held onto his father's arm tightly. His father began to squeeze his windpipe to the point of leaving Joey breathless. The teenager gasped for air and started to tear up. He struggled to make his father let go so he could breathe.

"Don't you do that again." His father ordered him continued to angrily choke him.

Help…me…

There was a loud knocking at the front door. Joey's father paused and looked back towards the door. There was another interrupting knock. The old man found it to be quite annoying. "Who's that?" He released Joey's neck from his grip and stood to answer it.

Joey coughed and gasped for air. He rolled onto his side as he drew in several big breaths and held his neck where his father had gripped him. His father opened the door a pinch and looked out to see Kaiba standing there looking in the other direction. "Yeah?" He growled in annoyance.

Kaiba turned his gaze back to the old man. "I'm here for Joey."

"A friend, right? One sec." He closed the door and walked back to Joey, who was still lying on the floor. He grabbed him up by the collar of his shirt and shoved him hard against the wall. "Don't be out too late. We've got plans later." With that he shoved Joey out of the bathroom towards the front door.

Joey fell against the door with a thud. Kaiba jumped slightly at the surprise noise and curiously stared at the door. The blonde teenager wiped at his eyes furiously to remove the tears that stained his eyes and cheeks. He then opened the door and walked out with his face turned away from Kaiba. Seto was the last person he wanted to see him like this. "Hey, great to see ya. C'mon, let's go. I'm starvin'." He said quickly and started down the shaky metal stairway.

Kaiba was concerned for Joey's safety. He was pretty sure that thud against the door was Joey's body, but he wasn't quite sure what was going on still. He followed behind Joey down to the parking lot. Joey was impatiently standing by the car and waiting to go.

Seto walked up behind Joey and put his hand on Joey's arm. Joey moved away from him as if it were a frightened reaction. "Eh? You scared me." Joey said to pass things off as if they were really okay.

"I'm sorry. You seem nervous. Are you all right?" He inquired of Joey.

"Yeah, I already told ya on the phone didn't I?" He smiled up at Kaiba, but you could tell it was false. It was just a front he was putting up for Seto.

Kaiba nodded and went to his side and got in, Joey did the same and buckled himself in. He kept his face turned to the window. He folded his arms and curled up slightly against the car door. Seto noticed his odd behavior.

"Did you still want to go somewhere?"

"Huh?" Joey looked over at him. "Yeah, 'course I do. Didn't I tell ya I was starvin'?"

Kaiba nodded. "Yes, its true that you did." Kaiba wanted to put his foot on the breaks right there and tell Joey that he knew he wasn't all right, but he felt like he couldn't. Joey was trying so hard to put on a happy face, and he knew that Joey wouldn't just give in and fall apart even if Kaiba did say something. He was as stubborn as ever.

The pair went to a small fast-food place to grab a quick meal. The parked in the parking lot there and ate their lunch in silence. Kaiba thought desperately what he could do or say, while Joey was trying to think of a way to get by without having to explain anything.

"Hey, Wheeler. Are you in a hurry to get home?" Kaiba inquired and looked over at him.

"Not at all." Joey replied and took another bite of his Cheeseburger.

"Would you like to come to my office with me for a while?"

Joey stopped and thought a moment. He really didn't want to go home, but he thought that Kaiba might have been inviting him out of pity. Well, it didn't matter. The invitation from Kaiba definitely outweighed what was waiting for him at home. "Sure."

After finishing with lunch they drove to Kaiba Corp. The blue sports car pulled into the company-parking garage and Kaiba parked in his marked spot. He turned off the car and sat there a moment. Joey stepped out of the car. Kaiba sighed and got out as well. They walked into the building and went upstairs by elevator to the floor where Kaiba's office was. They passed a bunch of employees on the way.

Upon coming to Kaiba's office they met up with Hisaya, who was at her desk typing up a few documents for Seto. "Mr. Kaiba! That sure was a long lunch—" she paused when she saw and Joey and stared at him a moment with her head tilted slight to the left. "Who's this?"

A sweat drop appeared on Joey's forehead and he laughed. "I'm Joey Wheeler." He shook her hand with a cheesy grin. Hisaya looked him over and then looked at Kaiba with one of those 'so this is him' looks.

"Nice to meet you, Joey Wheeler. I'm Hisaya Nakano. I'm Kaiba's secretary. Feel free to ask if you need anything at all." She said with a friendly smile. Joey nodded and thanked her before following Seto into his office.

Kaiba sat down to his desk and started surfing through files on his desktop for something. Joey wasn't quite sure what to do with himself so he sat down on the Italian leather couch and looked around his office. It was a very expensive looking one...that was for sure. There were little glass figures everywhere, shelves upon shelves stacked with books and binders that must have been filled with important things, and there was also a small fridge just off to the right of Seto's desk.

"Nice place ya got here." Joey spoke up as his eyes continued to wander.

"Yes, it is nice." Kaiba replied shortly. He turned away from his computer and stood up out of his chair. He came and stood in front of Joey, whose eyes turned up from the glass coffee table to meet Seto's.

"Kaiba…?"

"Explain it all. I want to know everything." Kaiba just came right out with it. He couldn't stand not saying anything.

"Huh? What's there to explain?" Joey attempted to act stupid like he didn't understand what Kaiba was talking about.

"What the hell is this about?" Kaiba pushed Joey's sweater collar out of the way and touched the bruising on his neck gently with is fingertips. Joey shoved his hand away and pulled his jacket tight up against his neck to hide it. Kaiba moved his suit from the dry cleaners out of the way and sat down next to Joey. He put his hands on Joey's to move them, but Joey silently refused. "Don't be stubborn, Wheeler."

"I'm not stubborn. And it's none of your business." Joey snapped at him.

"You made it my business when I saw you forcing yourself to purge in my house." Kaiba moved Joey's hands off of his collar and pushed it away again. Joey felt tears coming, but he didn't want them to. He wanted to be strong in front of Kaiba. He didn't want anyone to see him like this. Joey had always given off a tough, happy-go-lucky attitude that everyone admired in him despite his living conditions or his grades. No one had ever really seen him cry over much of anything.

Kaiba looked at him. Ever since I found that notebook…I can't get this kid out of my mind. And I can't stand to see him hurt. "Joey…it's okay." He pulled Joey tightly against him and held him. Joey was in utter shock at the close contact. It was something he thought he could never have.

"Kaiba…I…" Joey closed his eyes and tried still not to let those tears fall. If they did he would have lost to his father. He didn't like to give in just like that.

"Let me see." He leaned Joey back and started to lift his sweater. Joey blushed insanely and stopped him.

"What the hell are ya doin'!? Don't strip me down just like that!" He jumped up off of the couch and stepped away from Kaiba. His heart was beating so quickly.

A slight smile grew on Kaiba's face, which then turned into a grin and was followed with laughter. He couldn't help but laugh at how shy Joey really was. Joey glared at him for laughing. He didn't think it was funny at all.

Kaiba's laughter faded away to that smile again. He leaned back and stared at Joey. He suddenly had feelings that he'd never had before, and he was laughing at Joey because he was being cute, not just clumsy or dumb. As much as he'd always felt that you should only be with a girl because it was your obligation as a man…that all just seemed to wash away from his mind.

The CEO stood and approached Joey slowly. Joey saw him coming and started to back away until he was at the bookshelf and could go no further. Kaiba put his hands on the shelf and stood in front of Joey with a look of longing. Maybe…it wouldn't be that bad. He leaned in and kissed Joey's lips with his own soft pair.

Joey's heart nearly leapt from his chest and he stopped breathing for a few seconds. He felt Kaiba's lips against his own, and it felt like he was going to melt into a little puddle of Joey goo.

Kaiba slowly pulled back and stared at Joey's blissful expression. He smiled and leaned back in for another sweet kiss. Joey reached up his quivering hands and put them through Kaiba's hair shyly. The CEO pressed slightly harder against Joey's mouth. The little puppy moaned softly and gave the kiss a bit more passion.

Suddenly, the door to the office opened and Hisaya came walking in with files in her hands. She saw the two standing there by the shelves and dropped the files in surprise. Papers scattered every which way. Kaiba jumped and let go of Joey, they stood there staring at her and she was staring back at both of them.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Mr. Kaiba! I should have knocked! Oh, how rude of me." She hurried out of the office and shut the door. She didn't care about the files right about then.

Joey and Kaiba looked at each other for a moment and then started to laugh together. They were terribly embarrassed for being caught, but Hisaya's reaction was priceless. Her dropping those files was just a bonus, even if it had made a mess.

Well, there's a little fuel for all of you fangirls out there that were waiting for that moment. Honestly, I'm squealing like a fangirl myself, and I'm the one writing it! I always did like this pairing. That and Mariku/Bakura. Ja ne!
