Rex was dragged inside the Kaiba mansion by Duke and Joey. "Hate to do this to ya, but you've done the crime." The boy had been strapped down to a kitchen chair. He began to perspire, but he was determined to see this through. Duke Develin reached into Rex's pocket to retrieve his deck. "Okay. This is going to be simple. You tell us who put you up to this, and we'll let you go and give you your deck back." "Well, maybe don't scare him too much." Joey added. Duke rolled his eyes. "He had it coming." "Wait! I need those cards to get my cash!" Rex begged.

Seto was uncomfortable with the situation, now that he was a more mature duelist, he would never put someone else's cards at stake. In order to avoid watching the boy squirm, the CEO turned away to face a wall. "K-Kaiba. You'll get me out of this, right?" The dino duelist whined. Seto sighed, and still refused to face him. "Let's start with Razor Lizard first." Duke whistled as he tore the card in half. Rex flinched, but remained focused on Develin. "That's nothing…plenty more where that came from." Joey shook his head. "Duke, there might be a better way to deal with him."

"Oops. There goes Cyber Dino." Duke sang as another card was ripped in his hands. "Okay, you're really playing with my heart here." Rex cried. I'd tell you if I could, but I can't! The guy paid me a grand to spray paint the place, I couldn't turn down an offer like that." Joey sighed. "No, Rex. You chose to accept the offer, and you chose to deface the mansion all on your own." "Aw, quit being my mother, Wheeler." This time, Joey took a card from Rex's pocket. "Well, well. If it ain't Tyrant Dragon himself." "Okay! I'll talk!"

"All right. What I didn't get was why one of your friends wanted to pay me. The moment you started to date Kaiba, he got really jealous. He found me wandering around Domino City one day, noticed my – condition and offered to pay me if I followed Kaiba around and made his life miserable. That's why you saw me at your appointment a few days ago, and that's why I didn't want you to get a good look at me. I knew what I was assigned to do and making small talk with you would have ruined everything."

"I am sorry about this, Kaiba. I really didn't want to hurt anyone, and I'll do what I can to make up for it." Seto nodded. "All right. You can start off by washing the side of my house. I'll let you go with no charges pressed, but if I hear you've been accepting money to deface property or hurt someone again, then I will." "Thank you, sir." Rex replied, and bowed his head. "I'll drive you home after you've cleaned my house." The brunette added. "By the way, where exactly are you living these days?" Joey asked.

"Well, it's not exactly a house. I live with – my boss." The group raised their eyebrows. "Anyways, don't waste your time driving me back there, I'll walk." Joey began by untying Rex from the chair. "By the way, when you said my friend paid you, what do you mean by friend?" "It was Tristan." Rex sighed. "That lousy snake!" Joey snapped. "I am never forgiving him for this!" Seto ran up to embrace Joey from behind. "It's okay, we're all fine. Don't get angry over this. I know he was one of your best friends, but by the way he's been treating you he isn't worth getting upset over."

"It's worth getting upset over when my former best friend calls my boyfriend a fag." As he listened to that sentence, Seto Kaiba heard Joey Wheeler officially call him his boyfriend. "He's gonna get his tomorrow at school." Everyone knew that once Joey had a plan, nothing was going to stop him from carrying it out. "I don't mean to upset you, but," Seto began, referring to Rex. "Your clothes looked like they've seen better days. We could wash them for you." "Yes," Joey added. "And take a bath. Lord, when was the last time ya had one?"

Before Rex knew it, his clothes were torn off from his body and he was left in his boxers. Then, he was dragged upstairs to the tub where he reluctantly got inside a tub filled with bubbles. "Actually, I think I'll make Tristan clean that paint off." The blonde finished. "I don't care how angry he is with me; all of this is his fault." He rambled as he forcefully ran his fingers through Rex's tangled hair. "Hey! I can wash myself!" He spat. "So, did you… mean what you said?" Seto asked.

"Oh, about what?" Joey asked awkwardly as he brushed the back of his head with his hand. Seto gazed down at his feet. "About me… being your boyfriend?" "Oh! Well, I mean I did have sex with you quite a few times and all, and I really did enjoy it. So, I thought, why not keep you around a bit more and make you my boyfriend?" He winked. And, on that rare moment, Seto Kaiba genuinely smiled. Joey Wheeler's face froze. "D-did you just?" Seto cleared his throat. "Let's just agree to never mention this again."

"Hey guys, hate to break the moment but let's not pretend that this is a really bad high school romance fanfiction for one second and let me wash my fucking hair in peace?" Rex complained as he splashed water towards Joey and Kaiba. "What do you mean by fanfiction?" The brunette asked. "Eh, who knows what kind of drugs kids these days are on." Joey replied. "Anyways, let's listen to the guy and give him some peace and quiet for a minute." He closed the door behind him. "What do you think he meant when he said that he lives with his boss?" Kaiba asked. Joey shrugged. "I don't know, but how about we both keep an eye on him for a while?"
