"Kaiba, Joey, are you guys – oh god I'm terribly sorry!" Yami shouted as he ran out of the room after he found Seto and Joey tied up in a very interesting situation. In their little adventure, Joey took the opportunity to tie his boyfriend to the hospital bed, and was quite busy pleasuring him orally. Yami hoped to forget the wanting, desperate look plastered on Seto's look very soon, but the teen was sure that he would have nightmares of that scenario for many nights to come. Joey Wheeler did not seem phased in the least. "Oh my god. Was that- "Kaiba squeaked in embarrassment.
Joey Wheeler chuckled. "Yup. Funny, right? I'm sure we'll give him nightmares for at least a month." "I'm sorry." Seto apologized, ashamed of himself. Joey reached up to cradle the brunette's head in his hands. "Hey, it's okay. Nothing to be ashamed about. But we do have to work on that confidence of yours. After the way you acted in the past, I never expected you to be so shy in bed." Seto sighed. "My insults were a mask, Joseph. I was- "he swallowed. "Jealous that I couldn't be more like you…" "What?! You jealous of me? Well, tell me more, tell me more."
"Of course, I was, everyone is. We all wanted to befriend you and the rest of your friends. It wasn't just about the fact that you all went on great adventures, but it was also about the bond that you shared." "But we tried to befriend you countless of times." Joey reminded. Seto nodded. "I know, but when someone actually takes interest in me, the only way I knew how to respond was to insult them and push them away. After everything that happened in my childhood, I figured that everyone out there was another carbon copy of Gozaburo, and that I was always in danger."
"That's not true!" The blonde defended. "I'm sure you know that now. I love you and I know that my friends think you're a great person." "I-do realize that now," Kaiba confessed. "And I really do thank you for that. I spent my whole life trying to forget about my step -father but I forgot to focus on the family that I do have, and I also forgot to focus on the future. It's awkward for me to admit, but it was you and your Scooby gang that made me see that I was the exact type of person I spent my life trying to avoid."
"Well, you're nothing like him." Joey assured. "Look at what you did today for me, and Rex, too. You took the punch for me all on your own without anyone asking you too, and you freed Rex from a horrible person. Not only did you do all that, but you also managed to find Weevil Underwood. How did you do that, by the way?" Seto smirked, and suddenly felt a wave of confidence wash over him. "I have my reinforcements."
"I do understand why you are worried about becoming like Gozaburo, after living with him for so long, but especially with your friends and your brother for support you never have to worry about that." "He was also the reason why I held the Battle City tournament, and why I blew up the island. It wasn't because I lost. Yes, I was upset about that, too. I just wanted to prove to myself that by winning, I could erase his memory forever." Joey held Seto into his arms tightly and gave him a comforting kiss. "You may not be able to completely erase his memory, but you still did yourself and your family justice, in the end."
"Mr. Kaiba, we are going to ask that you stay after school to make sure you do not have any internal bleeding or excessive bruises." The school nurse announced. "That's okay, I'll stay with him." Joey confirmed. Seto was shocked. "Really?" "Of course." His boyfriend replied with a thumb's up. "After all you did for me today, I'm not leaving you here alone." The nurse was not sure if guests were allowed to stay after school, but she replied with "I'm sure I can make an acception for that."
"Thank you." Seto replied with a smile. "Joey, do you think that Mokuba can stay with Yugi and the rest for a few hours, I hate leaving him alone for too long. I know that he's almost a teenager, now, but I hate having him think that I'm leaving him intentionally." "Not a problem." Joey said. "I'm sure Mokuba would keep the gang busy, and knowing them it's been a while since they've had much exercise, so they can have fun chasing little Mokuba around for a while." "Thanks. And don't think I'm going to skip out on our first date tomorrow, I wouldn't miss that for the world." Seto said with a smile.
A few hours later, both Seto and Joey woke up to the sound of silence. "Whoa! It's dark! It's dark and we're alone!" A frightened Joey Wheeler shouted. Seto calmly took in his surroundings. It was dark, peaceful, a little too peaceful and the clock on the wall that now glowed in the dark read 3:00am. "It's okay. Let's head for the front and everything will be alright." Although, Seto Kaiba wasn't even sure if he believed his own words of encouragement. The two left the nurses office and headed towards the front of the school building.
"It's locked! Somebody help me it's locked!" Joey cried as he sank himself low and pounded his head into the floor. 'Okay, it looks like I'm the calm, mature one here.' The CEO thought to himself. "Don't worry, we just have to spend the night here and we can get out of here by the time school starts tomorrow. They'll have to let us out sooner or later." Kaiba laid down on the floor next to Joey and took his boyfriend into his arms. "Joey, are you crying?" Seto asked, concerned. "No. Ain't me. Wait a minute! This school is friggen haunted!"
