Anyways, here is the next chapter! :)


Chapter 11

Walking through the doors to her high school, Serenity sighed as she rubbed her feet on the rug the school had by the entrance. It suddenly had rain out of nowhere and she was a little drenched. A hand shot up to her head as she saw Mokuba right beside her.

"Mokuba…"

"You just got to love those sudden downpours." He grinned as she shrugged.

"I didn't even bring a small jacket. I wished I listen to mom."

"Well, your hair will dry within minutes, so don't worry. But, I might have a towel in my locker…"

Serenity raised an eyebrow. "Why would you have a towel in your locker?"

"Seto said to be prepared. I didn't understand why, but now I know why." He smiled and went to unlock his locker.

"Serenity!" A girl around Serenity's age came up to her. "How is everything?"

"Good. Mokuba and I are dating." She leaned down to kiss his cheek. Mokuba blushed.

"Aww! About time you two! Anyways, did you finish the Calculus homework?"

Serenity and Mokuba look at each other as they gasped. Mokuba handed her the small towel. "Oh, no. I forgot all about that!"

"I did too! Do you think we could finish it in first period?" Serenity pointed out as Mokuba shrugged.

"I have no idea… Who knows what Mrs. Sakamoto has in store for us…" Mokuba murmured as the girl shrugged and smiled.

"I'm sure you two will be okay. Sorry, but I skipped breakfast. I'll talk to you later, Serenity!" She waved back to her as Serenity dried herself off. She gave Mokuba the towel back as he simply threw it back in without a care.

"Do you think the teacher would understand?"

"Huh?"

Serenity looked down at Mokuba who was grabbing his ACT prep test book and a notebook. "Do you Mrs. Sakamoto will let us off with a warning?"

"I…don't know. The last time someone did homework in her class, she flipped out and had the homework assignment ripped in half." Serenity remembered as Mokuba shut his locker door.

Serenity went down to her own locker, about a good thirty or so away from Mokuba's own, as she grabbed what she needed to get and sighed, again.

"Mokuba…"

"Hmm?"

She turned around and faced him. She gripped his hand tightly in the process. "Why is everyone staring at us?"

Mokuba looked and saw a few students, and teachers, looking at them. "Do you think," Mokuba started to say as they walked down some stairs, "this is what our brothers will go through?"

"I think so."

They walked into the class, hand in hand, as Mrs. Sakamoto walked towards them. Putting their books down, she asked for them. Mokuba and Serenity looked at each other, and followed the teacher outside into the semi-crowded hallway.

"Mrs. Sakamoto, we need to talk to you." Mokuba began as she nodded.

"I heard about your brother, Serenity." She turned to her as she nodded. "I hope he's doing well."

"He is. Seto's there with him, making sure he doesn't leave his sights."

Mrs. Sakamoto grinned. "So, Seto's making a move, eh? I was hoping it would have happened years ago!"

Is this teacher…a fangirl? Eww… Didn't need to know that…

Mokuba thought as he crossed his arms. "Is that why everyone is looking at us? Or is it because we're dating?"

"You know, I have no idea. It could be both, but ignore those that are jealous."

Serenity smiled. "Thank you. I'll tell my brother that you asked about him."

"Oh, and we need to ask you something."

"Yes? What is it?" Mrs. Sakamoto smiled as Mokuba nodded.

"We were caring for Joey over the weekend, and we didn't get anything done for school… And we need to use this period to get most of our homework done… May Serenity and I do this?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Well," Serenity spoke, "the last time that happened, you ripped up a student's homework assignment."

She started to laugh. "Sorry. But I've hated that student since the beginning of the school year. He sleeps in my class, then one day expects everything is cool and he can do his homework. Yeah, right."

"Oh… I should have known."

"I won't hurt your homework in anyway. I promise. Just, keep me updated with your brother and we're even."

Mokuba and Serenity smiled, the latter nodding. "Of course! Thank you!" Both sprinted to their lockers, grabbed their Calculus book, and got back to first period before the bell could ring. Catching their breath, Mokuba and Serenity walked to their seats and began their math homework.


On the other side of Domino City, a certain blond was wide awake, eating breakfast, while the CEO was still dead asleep. Joey sighed and continued to nibble on his bacon.

"Hospital food is nasty…" He murmured to himself as Seto didn't even wake up with the smell of breakfast in the room. "It would be great if a certain brunet could wake up and get his buddy da best breakfast in da world!"

Nothing. Damn. How can you wake up Seto Kaiba without him killing you? Joey raised an eyebrow and grabbed a piece of bacon. "Here, Seto… A nice, juicy, piece of baco~n." He moved the bacon around his nose and gave up.

The usual nurse came in to check up on Joey. "How do you feel?"

"I feel dat da food here needs ta be ramped up. It's not da best."

"Tell me. I'm lucky I can stomach that crap." She pointed out as Joey finished his milk up in seconds. The nurse looked at his plate and raised an eyebrow. "I thought that food wasn't the best."

"It isn't!"

"But, you ate everything on your plate."

Joey grinned as the nurse sighed. "Where do you put the food?"

"Who knows? My friends ta dis day can't figure dat out." Joey laughed as the nurse rubbed her forehead. He then looked down at Seto, wondering if he's hungry.

"Don't worry about your friend. He can go get something to eat later this morning. That is, if he wakes up."

"How," Joey turned to face the female nurse, "would ya wake up da CEO of Kaiba Corporation?"

The nurse crossed her arms, thinking, as she shrugged. "Say that his company is bankrupt?"

"I tried dat. Twice."

"Huh. Well, how about you…try to feed him breakfast?"

"Didn't work. I won't blame him, though."

"I'm sure something will work. You know…" She shook her head and departed the room.

"Yeah, end on a cliffhanger. As if I know what ya were tryin' to say…" Joey blinked as he figured out what she was trying to say. "Kiss him… Now dat, I didn't even try!"

He grinned as he saw Seto's face, turning towards him. Perfect timing. Joey started to blush, thinking how he would kiss him. Seto was the one who did most of the kissing, usually. Joey gulped as he leaned down to Seto's face. His eyes closed and lips pouting-in a way-as he was inches away, now centimeters away-

"AHH!" Joey cried out as Seto jumped up on the bed and claimed Joey's lips in a kiss. Breaking away, Joey stared at him. "What da hell was dat for? Ya scared da crap outta me!"

"So? I think it was cute that you were trying to kiss me."

Joey blushed, again. "Wait. Ya were fake sleepin'? I was tryin' ta make ya eat breakfast, ya idiot! Ya have ta be hungry."

"If I need something to eat, I'll just eat you up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And, even for dessert…" He whispered in Joey's ear as he shoved Seto off of him.

"Well… I hate ya." Joey crossed his arms as Seto sighed.

"Sure you do." Joey was avoiding Seto's piercing eyes as Seto was waiting for Joey to turn his head. "Fine… If you want to play stubborn, I'll make a deal with you."

Now Joey turned his head back to Seto. "What sorta deal?"

"I will go get something to eat, only if you make out with me."

"What? Heck no! Dat's not playin' fair!"

Seto slowly got off the bed. "Oh, I guess you didn't want to finish what you wanted to start this morning, eh?"

Joey grabbed Seto's arm and sighed.

"I just…I just don't want ya in dis hospital for starvin' ta death… Fine... You win… Just brin' somethin' back for me…"

"No problem, Joey." Seto smirked as he got back onto the bed and leaned over his puppy.

Joey blinked for a second as Seto claimed Joey's lips in a passionate kiss. Joey put his hands upon Seto's cheeks, deepening the kiss even further. Seto's tongue was waiting the moment when Joey would need to breathe. Within seconds of thinking that, Joey opened his mouth, to breathe, and Seto's tongue darted into Joey's mouth, absorbing every little spot in the blond's mouth. Joey's head leaned back onto the pillow, both of their tongues in a fight over dominance. Seto's hands cradled Joey's face as Seto's eyes slowly opened. Joey's eyes were still closed, and Seto was just absorbing the beauty of Joey's face. Seto was even daring enough to pick his puppy up and lay him on his lap. But his thoughts stopped the moment Joey's hospital phone was ringing.

"Who…is so daring…to interrupt…us…" Seto murmured as he was starting to kiss Joey's neck.

"Seto… I still have ta…answer it. I can't…be rude…" Joey said, trying to catch his own breath.

"Dammit. I will kill…that person…"

"…Thank ya…" Seto got off of Joey as he reached for the phone. He had to cough for a second as he regained his focus. "Hello?"

"Joey! I finally got you!"

"M-matt? Why are ya callin' me?"

"I would like that answer, too!" Seto called out as Joey covered the bottom part with his hand.

"Well, I heard about your condition, and wanted to see how you were doing."

"I'm doing well, but I am startin' rehab tomorrow, which is wonderful."

"Great! Oh, well I need to come over and talk to both you and Seto."

Joey looked over at Seto as he was fixing his shirt and pants. "Umm… Why?"

"We need to file a police report. We found out that the guy who you killed was on the run for a couple years. We just need to get the accident on record, so that if you want to sue the family or-"

"I can't do dat! It's not da family's fault…dat he turned out like dat…" He put his head down as Seto turned around to face Joey.

"I agree, but we need to get the accident on record, like I said. When will be a good time for me to come around?"

"Ah. Let me think…" Joey turned to Seto, his icy eyes piercing Joey's heart. He covered the bottom part of the phone as he sighed. "Do ya still want ta make out with me?"

"I don't know. That Matt guy ruined the mood."

"He needs ta come over here ta file a police report. Would ya rather make out with me now, or later? I sense dat ya still want more."

Seto turned around, fixing his collar, as Joey grinned. Point one ta me!

Joey uncovered the bottom part and grinned. "How about ya come over around noon? And, if ya do, bring me a Subway?"

"Okay, I can do that. And you want the usual?"

"Mm-hm." He replied as he still looked at Seto's back.

"That's fine. I'll be over around noon. See you then."

"Same here." Joey hung the phone up as he sighed. "Now, I know dat ya wanna devour me, but don't forget dat we are in a hospital-"

"So?" Seto turned back to the blond as he sighed.

"I'm waiting for ya ta devour me!" Joey held his arms wide up as Seto smirked and smiled.

"Hope you can last."

"I think I will. I did last time…"


Matt came at noon, and with a delicious Subway hidden underneath his jacket, as he watch Joey and Seto devour it within minutes.

"Man, you guys devour that within minutes." Matt pointed out as Seto belted a laugh as Joey simply blushed. "Inside joke?"

"Yeah." Joey blurted as he made Seto throw away the trash. "Now, let's get ta business. Give me da report and I'll fill it out within minutes."

Matt pulled the report out of his pocket as Joey looked to Seto. "I need a pen."

"And you figured that I would have one?" Joey nodded as Seto groaned and grabbed a pen from his trench-coat pocket.

"Thanks." Joey grinned and scanned down the page. "Let's see… Date of incident: October 12th, 2011… People involved: Seto Kaiba…Joey Wheeler…" Joey said what he wrote as Seto just watched him. "What was the outcome? Officer…Wheeler was…" Joey stopped writing as he looked down at his legs, unconsciously.

"Joey?"

He turned to Seto and gave him the pen. "Will ya fill out da rest? I can't…"

Seto nodded. "I can." Seto wrote down the rest of what Joey couldn't:involved in a gun shootout by Mr. Kidman that caused Officer Wheeler to become paralyzed from the waist down. Mr. Kidman was killed in the process with a bullet to the head.

"…Anything else?" Seto asked as Joey looked down at the paper, Matt did as well.

"I'm sure that's it. The rest can be filled out at the police station." Matt assured as Joey breathed a sigh of relieve as Matt put the paper in his pocket. "So, how is everything?"

"Good. Decent. If da food was better, I might like spendin' my days here." Joey explained as Matt nodded.

"When is hospital food ever good?" Matt pointed out as Joey started to smile. Seto got up and crossed his arms.

"Is there anything else you need?"

Why is Seto bein' so defensive? I mean, when he's around me, he's cute, and blushes a lot. But, when someone is talkin' ta me, someone he doesn't like, he's super, ultra, mega defensive!

"Matt, I hope dat ya can come back someday soon. Maybe not for da next few weeks, since rehab's gonna start."

He nodded. "Okay. I'll just give you a call, if it's okay with your bodyguard here." Matt pointed to Seto as Seto shrugged.

"I'm sure he won't mind." Joey grinned as Matt said his goodbyes, and left the room. Joey turned to Seto and glared at him. "Why are ya so mean ta someone ya don't even know?"

Seto rubbed his arm. "I just don't want anything to hurt you…" He whispered as Joey rubbed the back of his head and sighed.

"Come here." Joey commanded as Seto walked over to the blond. "Listen, I only have my eyes for ya, so quit bein' a stubborn guy. Ya don't have ta worry. I'm not gonna fall for someone else."

Seto smiled, a small one though, and hugged Joey.

"Thanks. Maybe, that's all I needed to hear."

"Yeah. Besides," Joey grinned as he sniffed his nose, "when can ya go home? Ya need a shower, and badly."

Seto sniffed himself as he frowned. "It's just perspiration from earlier. Nothing else."

"But, I would like ya ta smell like ya usually do, not like a wet dog."

"I'll shower here…"

"No, ya won't. Go ta my house and shower dere. For me?" Joey pouted as Seto nodded.

"But I will when Mokuba and Serenity get here."

"Ya don't want anyone ta leave my sight, right?"

Seto smirked. "You know me far too well."

"Yeah, well, your ego is so big dat I'm gettin' a good view of it." Seto glared at Joey. "I'm kiddin'! But, your ego is huge. I hope dat ya will control it someday."

Seto pinched his nose as Joey let out a laugh and Seto did too. Maybe a good laugh was what they really needed to feel at ease again.
