Tamagotchi

Joey tilted his head innocently, blinking, when he found his boyfriend staring at him. This happened sometimes, but usually because the other boy wasn't aware of it, thinking about something going on at the company. However, this time, he was looking straight at him, and appeared completely aware of what he was doing.

"…Seto?"

The brunet blinked for a moment before lifting his gaze to meet the younger boy's eyes. "Hmm?"

Joey frowned in concern. "…What are you thinking about?"

"…Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve you," Seto replied, sighing, before he reached out to brush the blond's hair out of his eyes.

Blushing, the younger boy scowled. "Oh? Am I really that bad of a—"

"I'm thinking the opposite, sweetie. You're so bright, and happy, and loveable, and I'm just… not." Seto frowned. "Do you remember how long it took me to learn how to cuddle you? To kiss you without the intention of having sex? …To even come out to the public?"

Joey smiled in confusion and tilted his head. "Well, Seto, I know ya weren't cuddled much as a kid, so ya obviously wouldn't know how. And ya don't really talk much, so ya show how much ya care through touch. And you were worried about the company's successfulness. Besides, if you'll remember, I didn't really wanna be in the limelight as Seto Kaiba's boyfriend either. …Some of your fan girls might 've killed me."

"Why do you make excuses for me?" the brunet sighed, rubbing his eyes tiredly. "You've been doing that since a few months after we started dating. I know you're defensive about your choices, but you don't have to defend me to yourself."

The younger boy's smile faded in both concern and even more confusion. "…Seto? What are ya talkin' about?"

"I know I hurt you, and you have to defend your decision to date me to your friends, but do you really have to make it okay in front of me? Get angry, yell at me, something!" Seto exclaimed, then sighed in frustration and buried his face in his hands. No, he was not angry. He just didn't like his puppy lying to himself.

"…I have no idea what you're talkin' about," Joey stated bluntly, then looked back down at his handheld digital pet. "You think too much. And even if you don't deserve me, you're stuck with me now, so get used to it."

Seto looked back up at him and sighed, then shook his head. "Oh, God, puppy, you're impossible."

"And that's why you love me. Damn it! I said eat! This'll be the second time you've died this week!"

"…You're completely unconcerned with this, aren't you?"

"Of course I am. I said eat, you bastard!"

The brunet couldn't help a wry smile. "…Puppy, forget everything I said. I deserve everything I get and more from you."

"Of course you do. No, no no no! No, eat-! Fuck!" Snarling angrily, the blond threw the hand-held game and crossed his arms, huffing as he sank into his seat with a pout. "See if I ever bring you back to life!"

Seto chuckled and leaned in to give him a chaste kiss. "You're so sweet, puppy."

"You don't even care if my pet died—"

"You don't even care if your lover is feeling insecure. You care more about your digital pet. I could design a better one," the brunet mumbled, before sliding a hand up the younger boy's thigh. "What's that stupid pet got… that I don't have…?"

Joey mewled and leaned into the CEO's kisses, wrapping his arms around his neck gently. "Mm… Tamagotchi… are awesome… and ancient…"

Seto pulled the blond into his lap and slid his hand around to cup his ass. "If it's ancient, let me design a new game for you…"

"But it's a collector's item!" the blond exclaimed, before letting out a yip as the older boy pressed him back onto the couch. "Nuu! S-Seto!"

"Well, keep it in a glass case where it belongs then. I'll make you a better pet that won't die."

"S-Seto! L-like my Tamagotchi! Ooh!"

There was a beep as the forgotten pet woke from its nap. Twenty minutes later, it beeped its death.
