Kiss Kiss
"…What is this?" Joey asked after a moment, poking at the large, pink box sitting on the counter next to the cash register.
"You're late! I thought you'd never get here!" Yugi exclaimed, throwing his arms around his waist. "Do you know how many people have come in to buy cards or toys and have giggled at me?! They think it's for me!"
"…So it's for me?" the blond asked, poking it again. "…Who is it from?"
The smaller boy sighed and rolled his eyes. "It's from Kaiba."
Joey looked back at him in surprise. "What if it's a bomb?!"
"…Then we shall both haunt him in the after life just OPEN IT!" Yugi roared. "And get it off the counter!"
The blond hurried to lift it off the counter only to grunt and knock himself off balance. Luckily, he didn't fall, because the gift kept him anchored. "Oh my Gawd. How did this get here?!"
"He came in, set it on the counter, and said 'this is for the puppy. Don't open it.' And then he left!" Yugi explained. "Like it didn't weigh a ton!"
Joey scowled, then ripped the pink paper off and grabbed a pen to cut through the tape keeping the box closed. "Bastard—he's not even here and he's showin' me up!"
"…I thought you were worried about it being a bomb," the smaller boy deadpanned, then went on his toes and peered over the edge of the box. "What is it?"
The blond blinked, then pulled the tissue paper away to show a large stuffed animal. It was a puppy. It was holding a heart. The heart had 'Be Mine' embroidered on it and was bordered with lace. Attached was a note that read, "There will be a press conference on Saturday announcing our new relationship. Be at Kaiba Corp. at ten AM."
Yugi blinked, then looked down at the bottom of the box. It was filled with bars of chocolate. No wonder it was so heavy! Glancing up at his friend, he flinched, then grabbed the box and, with a momentous shove, pushed it over the counter and onto the floor. "Woops! Look at that! I'll just clean this up while you're gone, okay!?"
"I'm gonna KILL HIM!" Joey roared, as the smaller boy dove back behind the counter. "I'll make up my hours tomorrow—Kaiba needs t' die NOW!"
.-.-.-.-.-.
Seto blinked as he heard someone pounding on the door to his office, then lifted his head. "Yes?"
At that, the door burst open, and he was allowed an eyeful of angry blond before something was thrown at him. He blinked as the stuffed dog bounced off his head, then frowned. "I take it you found my gift."
"It practically attacked me when I walked in the door! Ya didn't hafta get me such a big present! In fact, ya didn't hafta get me a present at all!" Joey shouted, stomping into the room and slamming the door. "Jerk! Ya can't just send me this and expect me t' fall in love with ya! I don't even like ya!"
"Do you think I'm attractive, puppy?" Seto cut in, before he could get even more worked up.
Joey frowned. "…Well, I guess so, but—"
"Do you think I'm intelligent?"
"Sure, I guess—"
"Do you think I'd be good to my lover?"
"…I suppose, but—"
"Do you think you'd like to be treated like my lover?"
"I dunno—STOP IT!" Joey roared. "I'm tryin' t' be mad at ya! Now let me pound your face in and I'll be on my way!" he added as the brunet stood and began toward him.
Seto stopped in front of him and raised an eyebrow. "You think I'm attractive, intelligent, and would be a good lover. What's stopping you from saying yes?"
"Your bastardiness, that's what—" the blond began angrily. "How do I know ya won't just do me and leave?! Ya probably don't even know how t' treat a lover, anyway!"
"So why don't you teach me? I'm sure you of all people would know—" he began, lifting a hand to stroke the younger boy's cheek.
Joey slapped it away quickly. "That would be like havin' the blind leadin' the blind! I've never had a lover before!"
"Good. Then you'll be able to teach me to be the way you want to have a lover, not how everyone else does." Seto smirked. "Just give it a chance, puppy."
"…I hate ya!" the blond spat, turning to leave, only to yelp as the older boy caught his wrist and slammed him against the door. "Ah!" He mewled as the brunet crushed his mouth with his own and grabbed his shoulders to try and push him away. "Nn!"
The brunet broke the kiss a moment later and smirked again. "Well? Have I changed your mind?"
"…I HOPE YA GET EATEN BY A RABID WEASEL AND PUKED INTO THE OCEAN!" Joey shouted, blushing, before he turned and stormed out of the office.
Once he was in the safety of the elevator, however, he paused to trace his lips with his fingertips. It hadn't been a very long kiss, but… it was enough for him to tell that Seto was an awesome kisser. Covering his still warm cheeks with his hands, he sighed and sank to the ground. …Seto wasn't unattractive…
.-.-.-.-.-.
Seto smirked and laced his fingers together smugly as he watched the blond on his computer screen slowly tracing his lips. His puppy would give in. It was only a matter of time. And then he'd have his puppy forever.
