Chapter Eleven

Joey and Serenity started dinner and they were laughing about how Bubba scared that guy and he almost shit his pants. "Are you really alright?" She asked him.

Joey kissed her cheek and then he told her "listen since I've decided to come out as they say, I'm going to have people say things about me and all I can do is to let it fall off my shoulders."

They had dinner ready when Frank came home. He went to clean up and then they sat down and ate dinner. Afterwards when Joey and Serenity had dishes done, Frank asked her if he could talk to Joey in private and she went to her room. Joey thought he knew what his father wanted to talk about.

Frank cleared his throat and then he asked "are you going to practice safe sex?" Poor Frank had turned red after he asked his son that question, and it was all Joey could do not to laugh.

Joey then told his father "we haven't gotten that far, but if and when we decide to have sex, yes we will be using condoms." Frank couldn't believe how his son could talk about something that personal with out being embarrassed. Joey then smiled and asked "did granddad ever talk to you about sex?"

Frank really turned beet red and he said "hell no! when I was your age that wasn't something that was talked about." Joey had a questioned look on his face and Frank went on to tell him "yes, I learned everything that I know from friends that I grew up with."

Joey went over and gave his father a hug and told him "thanks for wanting to talk to me about something that really made you embarrassed. I love you so very much" and then he kissed his father's cheek and went to his room.

Frank sat there not believing that he had just talked to his son about something that was very personal, but he was damn glad that he did because he found out that his son was going to be a responsible adult. He closed his eyes and he thought about his wife and smiled because he knew that she was very proud of him for making sure that their children were alright.

The next day at school both Seto and Joey told each other about what their fathers had talked to them about and they both smiled and then they laughed because they both knew that it took a lot for their fathers to even bring up the subject let alone talk to them about it. Then Seto asked Joey if he wanted to go out this week-end?"

Joey smiled an evil smile and then he asked "where are you taking me?"

Seto laughed out loud and then he told Joey "wouldn't you like to know?" Joey then gave Seto a hug and they went off to their classes. Yugi was sitting there waiting to ask Joey how it went with Seto. When Joey sat down he raised his eyebrows and that made Yugi smile.

That afternoon while Joey was in Gym, he went to the Coach and asked "if he could talk to him about something important?"

Coach then sat down at his desk and Joey stood there and he told him "you probably have been hearing rumors about me and Seto Kaiba, well they are true and I wanted to give you the opportunity to decide if I am to remain on the team or do you want me to leave."

Coach then smiled at Joey and he said "listen, I know all about what is going on and as far as I'm concerned you are on this team and will remain on this team till you decide to leave." They shook hands and then Joey went to get ready for practice.

When they were on their way home Tristan, Duke, Tea, and Yugi stopped them and Yugi asked if they would come to a Party that he and Yami were going to have Sunday?"

Seto smiled at Joey and then he said "we'd be happy to come and thanks for asking us." What Seto was silently telling them was he was thanking them for including him in their little circle.
