I've Always Loved Puppies
A/N: Ohhh, back by popular demand... ANOTHER CHAPTER OF I'VE ALWAYS LOVED PUPPIES! Be happy people! I hope you like this chapter. I admit there's gonna be some OOCness within the chapter. Okay, now I've gotta go find me a Duel Monster to announce my disclaimer since I don't feel like it, and cause I don't wanna go give away the whole chapter.
"Yeah, it's me here. The Red-Eyes Black Dragon... again. Apparently, I am the only moster Lisa could find to disclaim for her. So... Lisa, Comic Relief, does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! But she really wants to own Joey and Seto because she thinks they're cute!"
"YOU'RE ON TIME, BOY! RIGHT ON THE DOT! Errr... but YOU DIDN'T DO WHAT I TOL' YA TO DO!!!" exclaimed Pops Wheeler.
"Wha?... Wha... what didn't I do?" Joey asked his father, sounding frightened.
"You dud no' do your rum," drunkly answered Joey's so called father.
"I did, too... not to argue with ya.. heh... but it was spotless before I left."
Seto just stood there, blank staring at the father and son's little conversation...
"No you hev not," claimed Pops Wheeler. "I found dese in a caze lyin' on your fuhloor. THAT'S NOT WHERE TOYS GO!" Joey's dad held up Joey's dueling deck. He drew a card from the deck. "Dis one looks dangerous an' struh-ong. It has big numbers." He grabbed a lighter from his pocket, with a drunken and devilish smirk on his face. He flipped the card so that it would be facing Joey.
"MY RED-EYES!" exclaimed Joey. The card was indeed the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. He looked very angry and upset about now. He knew what his father was going to do to his whole deck.
Joey's dad let out a drunken, hysteric laugh as he lit the lighter. He slowly moved the lighter to the Red-Eye's card.
"Leave the card and deck alone," loudly, but coldly shouted Seto, clearly adressing Pops.
"Oh, so you're talkin' to me, punk?" inquired Joey's dad.
"Mmmhmm," Seto casually replied.
"Wouldcha liketa use your fishts ta consult muh wiff your isshue?" inquired the drunk man.
"If I have to, I will."
Pops Wheeler gulped down a bottle of beer within a matter of seconds. A whole beer. The man threw his lighter, away into the grass. Luckily, the flame going out from the lighter before hitting the wild, unkempt grass. He dropped the Red-Eyes to the hazardous sidewalk below him. Joey's deck was dropped, too, but behind the man. He then bent over and slapped the bottom of the beer bottle ontop of the Red-Eyes card. Some of drips of beer left over dripped immediately on the card. The bottle has fractured, which carved many sharp points on the bottle. "Come 'ere, den."
"I don't wanna give you the pleasure."
"'Fraidy kitty."
BARK... BARK... BARK... RUFF... RUFF... RUFF...
A stray puppy comes running down into the Wheeler residence.The puppy was a young, light grey greyhound. He was running in the glass, but he wasn't stabbed from it.
"Freeakin' dawg!" exclaimed Pops. "Get the hewl outta my lawn!"
"Kaiba, run. This is our chance," Joey informed. Joey bolted and collected the cards of his deck while his father was chasing the dog from his lawn to the people who lived 7 doors down to the right. Joey gathered every last one of his cards.
"If you wanna run away, you better hurry up, puppy!"
"I'm commin'!" exclaimed Joey as he botled from his home and down the opposite side of the street. "This is my life, if you wanted to know. Living with my drunken father, running away every other day; and of those days needing to find somebody to house me for the night."
Seto ran and followed him. He really had no idea why he would follow Joey. Last time he did, though, he wanted a rematch. But Seto forgot all about his wanted rematch to the pinball game.
"Kaiba! Don't think I'm suckin' up to you or anything, but can I spend the night at your house?" desperately asked Joey. He needed a place to stay if he was going to get away from his crazed father.
"Ummm... fine," Seto accepted. Well, I've got to hand it to the puppy, he can hold his own against his insane father.
1 hour later...
Joey sat on Seto's couch, indian style. He was practically shivering now. He was thinking about how many bruises and how much blood shed he would have if that cute little grayhound didn't come into the picture and distract his father. His honey-brown eyes watered a little at those thoughts. He kept strong and dared not weep, though.
Seto sat there next to him. Look at the kid. He's sad... wow, I cannot believe I'm feeling for this kid. Seto thought to himself. Joey looked into Seto's eyes. The watery brown of his eyes made Joey appear needy.
...Straight out of no where, Joey laid his head on Seto's shoulder. Joey didn't even know he did that. It was unconcious. "Hey, do you wanna hear the story about my life?. I mean, you hadda go follow me around al day, can't I just tell ya and get it over with?"
"I won't neccesarily you'll get it over with but you can tell me," Seto said, not even sounding the least bit interested, but honestly he really was.
"Okay, so currently my insane father has been... well... beating me. So every other night I'd run over to Yugi's to escape. Just so I can get away for a night, and be not afraid of waking up to my father beating me if I wake up a minute late or hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. Basically, I'm with the people who care about me most of the time. Every day would be fine until this, that, and the other happens regarding my dad. That's my life, basically. Running away and being with my friends and going to school and dueling and just doing what I do whenever I can," Joey fessed up. Why did I just tell Kaiba all of that? I don't know... but hopefully I won't regret it.
Seto looked into the blonde's honey-brown eyes and saw truth and sincerety in what was just admitted. He pretty much felt sorry for the one he teased all the time for being just like a puppy. Though he showed no expression and his face stayed emotionless, it was pretty obvious that he felt sorry for the guy. To much of anybody's surprise, Seto inched in toward the sad teen, and kissed him. A soft, gentle kiss it was. The kiss was just something that came from sorrow. The kiss deepened, even though none of the two forced it to.
What the hell am I doing?! Kaiba shouted to himself, mentally.
The two pulled away, both looking wide-eyed and shocked.
