The Battle the Morning Coffee Loses

Seto took a long sip of his morning coffee, turning the page in the Sunday paper then set his cup down. His eyes glided up to see Mokuba impatiently waiting for the toaster to release his bagel at the counter.

"Mokuba, where's the dog?" Seto asked casually as he let his eyes fall down to the headlines of the business section, 'KAIBA CORP. HAS OUTDONE ITSELF WITH THEIR NEW DUELING EQUIPMENT'. Of course I have.

"Hmm?" Mokuba looked over his shoulder to his brother. He knew the codewords 'dog', 'mutt' and 'puppy' (which was used when Seto was in a glorious mood), were all used for the only blonde living in their house. Joey. "He's probably upstairs still."

"Right. Thanks." Seto pushed up from his seat, leaving his half full, black coffee next to the paper with the article about his company.

Mokuba looked to it and seemed so surprised that for a moment, he didn't even notice when his bagel jumped up out of the toaster. Seto never leaves his coffee unfinished.

He'd already looked into the guest room where he could occasionally find Joey lounging about and Seto had glanced into his own room where he had insisted Joey sleep but the blonde was in neither places. Not that there weren't traces and small messes that gave way where Joey had been.

As he sighed, frustrated, the brunette heard Joey's voice from the far bathroom down the hall.

"Lookin' good, mhmm!"

Seto put his hands on his hips and raised an eyebrow. What IS he doing? As the CEO stepped towards the door in a silent manor Joey cooed, "Never better."

Although he did enjoy embarrassing the blonde and making things a hassle for him, Seto couldn't help but think his puppy was too cute for his own good sometimes.

Joey was posing in the mirror, smirking cockily, thinking he was looking pretty tough. His nose scrunched slightly with the intensity of revealing his muscles. "Yeah, thas' it!" He flexed both his arms before they were pinned to his small body by even stronger arms of another man. This only made him squeak in surprise, which came out very unmanly. This little girly cry basically and harshly, Joey might add, contradicted anything he'd been bragging about earlier.

"Seto, what are ya doin'?" A sheepish half smile crept upon the brown eyed captive. His eyes flicked around, all across the mirror and yet nowhere near Seto in sheer and complete embarrassment. Getting caught posing in the mirror while cooing sexily at oneself is not something one wants to happen regularly, or at all for that matter.

But Seto only murmured to the top of Joey's head, his eyes glimmering with the amusement of his lover's silly antics,"You're right, you are looking good," Seto smirked, shifting around which only squeezed Joey a bit tighter. It was enough to make the blonde grunt then close his right eye when Seto planted a kiss on the cheek under it, "Enough to make me leave my coffee."

Surprise fell into the air, softening all the noise into silence before Joey finally registered the massive accomplishment he'd just achieved. So he decided to just make sure.

"Unfinished?"

"Unfinished."

Joey blinked, his eyes wide and surprised and looked back to the mirror, that good huh?
