Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh Chapter 11

Yami pulled up to the front gates of the Kaiba mansion, it really was the most beautiful house in Domino. Joey hesitated, having second thoughts, he knew he had to go in there and say everything, but what if? All the blond boy could think about was what if? Yami sensed his friend's apprehension.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to Joey. If you're not ready for it don't go through with it," the pharaoh said. Joey looked into the eyes of his best friend's yami. He had to do this, there was no going back now. Joey couldn't bring himself to turn back now. He needed to say what had to be said.

"Don't worry bout me Yami, I'll be alright. I have to do this, or I'll never get a decent nights rest until I do," Joey said, opening the door to the car and sliding out. He took one last look at his worried friend.

"Wish me luck!" he said with a nervous smile as he made his way to the intercom.

"Go get'm," Yami yelled out the window as he drove away. The blond teenager waved one last time to his friend before he pressed the intercom button.

"Welcome to Kaiba Manor, Mr. Seto Kaiba is presently preoccupied with an important board of directors meeting. Please state your name and purpose and someone will be out to assist you momentarily," a cheery voice said from the other side. Joey wondered if she was always there just waiting for someone to ring the intercom button so she could say that.

"My name is Joey Wheeler, and I need to speak with money I mean Mr. Kaiba immediately, it is urgent," Joey answered. There was a pause and then the cheery female voice broke over the intercom box. "I'm sorry Mr. Wheeler but Mr. Seto Kaiba is otherwise prioritized as of this moment, can I take a message?" she asked. Joey felt a stab of impatience but kept his tone friendly. He couldn't take out his anxiety on this poor innocent house maid, she was only doing her job.

"Please miss, this is very important, I would really appreciate it if you allowed me into the house," the blond answered nicely. This time the pause was longer.

"I sincerely apologize sir, but I do not have the authority to permit your admittance into this house," she said, and she sounded genuinely upset about it. Joey sighed, maybe it wasn't meant to be, maybe he should just go home. One last try, he thought.

"I'm sorry to make your job harder for you but as I said, this is urgent, and it can not wait. I need to tell that jer I mean Mr. Kaiba something extremely important. I need to tell him I love him," Joey said before he could stop himself. He heard the girl gasp. There was a long uncomfortable silence in which Joey was contemplating a way to just disappear without a trace. Finally the girl spoke again.

"Mr. Wheeler, I wish I could let you into this house, because above all things in this world I am a hopeless romantic. I wish I could allow you to enter, because I now know what has been eating away at my boss. We've all been very worried, and more than anything I want you to come in here and profess your love to him, because out of everyone in the entire world, he needs it. He's such a lonely man and every one of us, young Kaiba included, just want him to be happy," she paused for a moment, sniffling quietly, " but I can not allow you into this house without clearance." She sounded so upset about it too.

"Please try, because…saying it, just now, made me realize how much I really do, and always have. I really need to get in and speak with him," the blond said softly. The girl took a few deep breaths.

"One moment please," she said. One moment felt like a lifetime. The blond teenager stood outside the grand gates of the opulent Kaiba estate, hoping that luck would be on his side that time. He ran over the ways to say what he had to say, each one sounding more corny than the last. Hey Kaiba, just came to say I luv ya! No….that's all wrong. Money bags, I just need to tell you that I'm in love with you….no…no…god! I'm such a dork. Joey got more and more nervous with every second that passed. Finally the woman's voice returned.

"Mr. Wheeler, please follow the path up to the front door. When you've reached it ring the bell and someone will let you in momentarily. Good luck," she said, sounding happy that she helped. Joey excitedly thanked her and rushed down the path once the gates were opened. He rang the bell and was met at the door by Mokuba.

"Hey Joey, it's nice to see you again. Come on in," the little boy said. Joey entered the large house. In the main entrance hall there was a black marble floor. It had a tall dome ceiling with beautifully done art work painted across it. Finally it had a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the center. Mokuba led the blond teen up a couple of flights of stairs and stopped in front of a pair of dark mahogany doors, marked 'Board Room'. The short messy haired boy turned to face Joey.

"Seto is in here with the Board of Directors from Kaiba Corp. They're discussing a huge deal which could further our company beyond our late stepfather's imagination. It means more than anything in the world to Seto, except one thing. That one thing that he needs most above anything else. Now you go in there and show him what's really important," Mokuba said, and ran off before Joey could answer. The blond boy stood in front of the large wooden doors arguing with himself on whether to just bust in there or wait till it was done. Mokuba had told him to 'show him what's really important'. Mean while, in the bored room, security paged Seto.

"What is it?" the cold businessman asked rudely. "There's a blond man standing outside the door to the room who looks confused and lost. Does this have anything to do with you?" Raul, head of security, asked. Seto grimaced.

"Don't be ridiculous, why would it have anything to do with m…." SLAM! The door was thrashed open and Joey Wheeler entered looking nervous, confused, but confident all at the same time. Seto blushed a deep crimson color. "I guess it does have something to do with me," he choked out. The blond's honey brown eyes darted around the room before finally resting on Seto's wide blue ones. The boys felt themselves melting into each other, but Joey then remember what he had to say.

"Listen Seto….Kaiba…whateva ya want me to call ya. I need tah tell ya something and I ain't havin no interruptions," the nervous blond proclaimed, managing to send a steely glare around the room. Seto stared at the rash blond in disbelief.

"Can't this wait Jo…Wheeler, this is a very important meeting. This needs to come first right now," the millionaire said. Joey thrashed his forefinger in Kaiba's direction.

"No! This can't wait….I'm tired of coming second. Your precious rep, your precious company, what about my precious innocence that you took away from me last weekend. What about that Kaiba? 'This needs to come first'…well hell if it does. What about the promises ya made to me huh! Do ya know how much I've been killin myself ova this lately? I've been feelin real dumb for sleepin wit ya, ya know?" Joey said stopping to catch his breath. Seto took his chance.

"Please Wheeler not now, stop now please…

"I'm Wheeler now huh, what eva happened to Joey. Now that you're in front of these rich big shot jerks I'm Wheeler. Well they're not what's important in the world. Ya don't need anymore money, what you need is love rich boy….and I luv ya Seto. I luv ya more than anyone could eva love another person. I want ya to look into my eyes and tell me that what happened last weekend meant nothing to you. If so, I'll leave and neva come back. You'll neva hear from me again, but I have a feeling that's not the outcome of this," the blond finished. Seto's gorgeous blue eyes widened in shock. He loves me? I beat, and picked on him since like seventh grade. I took away his virginity and then pretended it never happened. I'm the most self absorbed, greedy, jerk on the face of the planet in his book, and he loves me? How can I tell him he means nothing to me, when he looked past so many of my most obnoxious faults? How can I say that I don't love the only person who has ever changed even one aspect of my being? I do love him…the mutt…the second rate duelist, and that's how I'll take him.

"Joey, if I said that what happened last weekend didn't mean one thing to me," Seto began while Joey prepared for the worst. "I'd be the most terrible liar on the face of the planet," honey brown eyes snapped up to lock with navy blue.

"I thought the reason I was ignoring you was because I regretted what happened. In actuality it was my own stupid fear. Fear that I might be going soft, letting my guards down. Now I realize, I don't need to guard myself with you. You think of me as a cocky, selfish, asshole, but yet you still admit your love for me. Joey, I love you, and I think I've always loved you. Since the first time you ever cracked my composure," Seto finished. The blond boy smiled happily from ear to ear. His honey brown eyes warmed with love as he stared into the dark sea like color of Seto's eyes.

The taller boy cupped the blonde's cheek and brought his lips down on the other's. Joey was instantly melted by the kiss he so eagerly wanted. It was a tender, sensitive kiss, which made the blond feel as if he were floating on cloud nine. Seto lavished affection as he slowly, and softly pushed his tongue into the familiar warmth of Joey's mouth. The brown eyed boy snaked his arms around the brunette's waist and laid his head on the hard, warm chest. Seto wrapped his arms around the shorter teen and held him, leaning his head on the top of the other's. The boys stayed cuddled in each other's arms for a few moments before one of the board members cleared out his throat. Seto's eyes flew open in the direction of the CEO of the company they were about to strike a deal with. He did not, however let go of Joey.

"Mr. Kaiba I see no reason why we should prolong this meeting. You obviously have some important matters to discuss with this boy. I will call you tomorrow to tell you the decision we come to….good luck" he added awkwardly at the end.

After all the members cleared out, the lovers broke apart. Seto sat in his chair while Joey fiddled with his thumbs in another. It was an awkward silence, each boy sat wondering whether they'd done the right thing. Finally, Seto broke the tense quiet. He turned to Joey with a serious, but sad look in his eyes. Completely caught off guard by the intense sorrow in the deep blue eyes, Joey drew back a little.

"Joey, is it true? Do you really love me? Please don't toy with me. I've been hurt enough, please don't play with me," the blue eyed boy said in an uncharacteristically pleading tone. Joey glared at Kaiba as if he were an imbecile. The blue eyed boy's eyes glazed with tears, afraid he might have done something wrong, and made Joey change his mind. Immediately the blond softened his look, glad to see relief sweep over the brunette's face.

"Listen Seto…I don't say things like that unless I mean them. I luv ya Seto, and I think I always have. Ever since that first time you ever called me a mutt. I've had it bad for you since Duelist Kingdom, I was just too blind to see it," Joey said, reaching out and lacing his fingers in Kaiba's long slender ones. Amber brown locked on navy blue and held.

"I let fear get in the way of what I really felt, but now I know. I know dat I can't live with outcha. This week was horrible. There wasn't one moment I wasn thinkinn bout ya. No matta what I did, somehow my thoughts ended up on ya. I needya so bad, I luv ya so much, lately I been wishin I realized it soona," the blond boy explained. The dark blue eyes seemed to light up with joy, but Joey wasn't finished yet.
"I luv your eyes, your hair, I luv your cute round ears. I love your dimples, and your smile. I even love your smirk. Ya have so many different smirks it's insane. Ya have that one when ya want people to feel lower than you. Then the one when ya know you're betta than that person. The confident smirk, and then the sly smirk when ya got sumthin up yer sleeve. Then ya got that one that ya do when you know sumthin every one else doesn't. Then, when ya smile, which is so rare. I saw your smile the first time last weekend, and I almost crumbled, my knees were so weak. I luv everythin aboutcha Seto. Ya havin money don't mean shit to me, honestly I'd rather ya didn't. Ya wouldn't be so damn cocky," Joey finished. Kaiba couldn't help but lean over and kiss the boy again. Joey really did love him for everything else but his money. He'd never dated anyone who'd rather he didn't have money.

"I love you to Joey, and I'm sorry I ignored you. I just wasn't sure about my feelings, and I didn't want to do something stupid. I can't list all of the reasons I love you for right now though, I feel a little light headed," Seto said, staring into the wide, shocked eyes of his puppy. After a few moments of drinking in the love that he knew would be forever his, he dazzled the young man with a gorgeous smile. The sapphire pools of his eyes shimmered with warmth and compassion. Joey couldn't help but smile back, he thought he might pass out. Seto truly did make him feel weak.

"So what do we do now?" the brunette asked the blond. Joey put his finger up to his chin and a thoughtful expression graced his features. Finally he sent his lover a wicked smile.

"Truth or dare?" he asked, and Kaiba smiled. He slithered his hand to the small of Joey's back and pulled him tightly against himself.

"Dare," the CEO said in a seductive voice.
