Chapter 14

It was one day later.

Seto was sitting next to Joey's bed, with Mokuba close behind him; he had started to watch what Seto would do to the helpless and unconscious blond in the house. He had made a deal with Seto that he would see a psychiatrist as soon as Joey was better as long as Mokuba would help him with the police. Duke, Noah or one of the others must have actually called the police on Seto, worried that he might molest the helpless wounded boy that was under his care. Seto of course had talked his way out of it. Saying honestly that Joey had saved his life and lying that that was the only reason he had to help him at all. He even called Joey names a few times. The nurse hadn't seen Kaiba touch the blond, at least not yet and had only said that Mr. Kaiba was very good and watching over Joey most of the time to ensure that he was sleeping peacefully.

The police found no reason to believe what the others had claimed and left Joey under Seto's care since the father too had no objections. Assuming that Joey was safe with his friend who could afford to pay more for his medical treatment.

Mokuba also had to phone Joey's friends and calm them by promissing to watch over Joey and keep Seto in check as part of the deal to get Seto into therapy.

It was past noon as Joey finally opened his amber eyes. He looked around before mumbling, "Where da hell am I?"

"At my place." Seto said with amusement in his voice and a smug smile on his face. Joey looked at him for a moment before trying to get up. The wound at his side hurt and he let himself fall back. "And I guess you'll be staying for a while." Seto added, still with the smug smile on his face.

"How da hell did I end up here?" Joey asked looking confused.

Seto watched his face for a moment before saying, "You got wounded and I looked after you."

Joey looked around again, now a bit more aware than the time before. He saw Mokuba standing a little behind Seto and was glad that he wasn't alone with Seto. He started to remember what had happened before not only with the shot but also the forceful kiss and he didn't feel nearly strong enough to fight Seto's forceful advances off. He tried again to get up this time ignoring the pain, because he didn't want to stay there, Mokuba or not. But Seto pressed him back onto the bed by his shoulders and said, "You can't stand up at the moment, your wound might reopen."

"Get da hell off of me, I don't wanna stay with a jerk like ya. Let me da hell go!" Joey said loudly.

"Calm down, you can't even sit up without feeling pain how do you want to walk out on your own? You slept for about one day and now be good and stay, I'm not about to jump on you and rape you." Seto said hoping to calm Joey down, he didn't want him to reopen his healing wound. He had lost enough blood the day before and didn't need a repeat of that.

"Let me da hell go!" Joey simply repeated.

"I can't because you're wounded. Joey calm down." Seto tried again.

Mokuba walked up and said, "Let go of his shoulders Seto."

"But then he'll try to stand up again." Seto stated, secretly glad to have the excuse.

"Then I'll hold him down, he is weak enough at the moment." Mokuba explained and Seto didn't have a choice but to let go and Mokuba said to Joey, "Listen Joey, Seto is right that you are wounded too badly to move but I'm here too and I know know now what Seto has been doing and will keep an eye out for you I promise. And if this isn't working out at all I'll get you to the hospital where you're safe from Seto."

"I'm not scared of da idiot." Joey said with the tiniest bit of a blush and Seto wondered if he would have blushed more if it weren't for the blood lost the previous day.

"Then where is the problem? There is a nurse in the next room and if no one else is here she'll be with you so there is always someone to help you, whereas in a hospital you might have to wait at times. Trust me this is better." Mokuba said hoping to calm Joey further.

"Fine, but if da idiot tries any funny stuff I'm freaking killin' da jerk got it?" Joey said with a death glare to Kaiba.

"I'll be an angel I promise." Seto said with a wicked grin on his lips. He had won, Joey would stay.

"Yeah, more likely a demon." Joey mumbled.

Seto just watched his face as he gave a little pout and turned to look away and out of the window. The light was shining on his face and while looking at the peaceful scenery outside he started to smile a little. Seto smiled as he watched the blond teen on the bed smile and Mokuba just knew that he had been right. Seto didn't just want to get Joey laid, he wanted to be with him permanently, he was in love and just didn't know that feeling. Their parents had died when they had been young and Seto probably didn't remember that much about them either. He had never seen that many people being in love and definitely never experienced any kind of love other than his love for his brother. And the normal teenage hormones that made him get all hot for the one he loved must make it even harder for him to recognize his feelings for what they were.

Seto was upset that Mokuba wouldn't leave him alone with Joey, afraid of what Seto might try if he did. Didn't Mokuba trust his own brother at all? Seto hadn't raped Joey yet so why would he do that now? Just because the blond hot beauty was lying on his bed half naked and absolutely helpless. Maybe it wasn't so bad that Mokuba was around after all, Joey was awfully tempting. And Seto had decided to be nice and make Joey choose to let him have his way with his hot body. But he knew that wouldn't be easy and definitely impossible if Mokuba was around so much.

Mokuba was with Seto in Joey's room all day long and only went for his own bed after Seto had gone into his own room. Unfortunately for Mokuba, he didn't intend to stay there. He waited for some time hoping that Joey too would be asleep before he snuck in.

And the view that he had when he was in Joey's temporary room was reward enough, with the moonlight on his body, and the covers were a bit down and his chest was still bare apart from the bandage. Seto watched his body for a long time before slowly reaching for it with one hand. He let one finger touch the soft skin and moved it slowly and gently over Joey's chest.

But not for long, one of Joey's hands slapped his away and as Seto looked up to Joey's face he saw angry amber eyes looking into his. He gave a sigh and for now pulled his covers back up and sat on the edge of the bed trying to keep his poker face in place and not show how much he really wanted him. "Can I ask you something?" Seto asked in a quiet and calm voice. There were a few things he simply couldn't understand and needed to know.

"Shoot." Was all that came over those ruby lips and the amber eyes still looked angry as well as a bit suspicious, Joey clearly didn't trust Seto.

"Why did you jump in the way? I thought you hated me, so why save me?" Seto asked looking to the floor, it was easier to keep the poker face and not show his lust when he didn't see those amber eyes.

"I didn't save ya. I know da girl and knew dat if I got in da way she wouldn't shoot. Didn't think dat she wouldn't react fast enough. She was nice and I knew dat she had problems and ya really did deserve da get shot, but I didn't want her da get in trouble." Joey just explained. He really had liked her the most of all his recent flirtations. And Joey had known about the problems she had in school and with her dad.

Seto felt Joey's eyes on his face and tried to hide how much it hurt to hear him say those words, he really must hate him if he could just say that he deserved to get shot. That he deserved to get killed. And that he would rather save the murderer from getting in trouble than his life. "Do you love her?" Seto asked, he had assumed that it was Tristan but the way he talked now he wasn't sure.

"I like her, she was nice and funny and chatty, even with all da problems she had. But no, I wouldn't say dat I really love her." Joey said quietly.

"Do you love Tristan?" Seto asked, he wanted to know the truth, he needed to know.

"What makes ya think dat?" Joey asked back with a blush on his face and for Seto it was clear that he had been right with this guess.

"You said his name, just before your heart stopped you were whispering HIS name." Seto said unable to completely conceal the loathing he felt towards the other brunet in his voice or the pain at the knowledge that Joey didn't love him. And probably never would Why does it hurt so much? Seto kept asking himself. I don't love him either so why does it hurt that he doesn't love me? And for the first time a tiny part of him was wondering if Mokuba was right after all. If maybe he had some sort of feelings for the blond. No matter how different they were and how unreasonable such a love would be, after all did love really need a reason?

Seto took a few deep breaths hoping to get his composure back, he hated looking weak. He was the CEO of a major corporation, he needed to be strong and hard and ruthless, that's what he had learned to be and he could never show weakness, others could, but not him. It didn't take long for him to put his poker face back in place and to sit there relaxed, looking like it didn't matter what Joey had whispered for his last words before his heart had stopped.

"Sorry," Joey whispered quietly, even if Seto was hiding his pain again, it had been there for a moment and it hadn't gone by without being noticed by the blond. "I didn't mean da hurt ya."

"You couldn't hurt me if you wanted to." Seto said in a cold voice and forced a smile. He still stared at the floor.

"Don't tell anyone. I mean, dat I love Tristan. We're buds and I don't wanna lose dat." Joey said quietly.

Seto looked at him for a moment. Joey looked out of the window and his face was now sad. He knew that Tristan had feelings for Duke. Neither Duke nor Tristan had been very good at hiding them, unlike Joey. He was always just smiling and happy when he was around his friends. It was always the same, no matter if he was with Tristan or with all the seemed like he too had a bit of a poker face. Just that unlike Seto's, Joey's was happy instead of hard and emotionless.

Seto watched him for a moment longer and got an idea. "Fine, I'll keep it secret but then you owe me."

Joey looked at him again sceptically, "I saved ya freakin' life, if anythin' ya owe me!"

"No, you said yourself that your intention was not to save me, and on top of my silence you owe me the money for the medical treatments and then there is the fact that I saved your life." Seto said with a smug smile.

"When did ya save my life?" Joey asked.

"I did CPR after the shot otherwise you would be dead." Seto was still smug.

"I wouldn't have needed either CPR or da freakin' money if I hadn't saved ya fuckin' ass." Joey stated angrily.

"Maybe, but I wanted to save your life while you wanted to save the freak that wanted to kill me." Seto said still with his smug smile, "And on top of that you do still want me to stay quiet right?"

Joey growled but then asked, "What do ya want anyway?"

Seto leaned closer and put his hands next to his face, one on each side, he got close enough to feel Joey's breath on his own lips and knew that Joey must feel his too. "I want you! For one whole night I want to do whatever I want with you."

Please review.

I bet everyone knows how Joey is reacting...don't you?

And to Gi, sure there is worse but they would still have to look into every complain and social services usually try to get a lot of money by fundraisers and charity and need good publicity and it wouldn't exactly be good publicity if they not only ignored a teen without parents to go absolutly nuts but also to let said teen raise his kid brother.
