"I'm Here"

A/N: Someone told me to write about a different Seto/Joey? Here you are! ^- ^ I have no prob if you want me to write a different story about it, just as long as you people are happy, that's all that matters to me! ^.^x And...how about this? Usually it's Seto who comforts his tiny puppy...but what if the puppy has to comfort his master now? xD Seto doesn't want to open himself fully to Joey, so he and Joey constantly fight. It takes his little brother, a lot of guts and a lot of love to let Seto understand...Joey would never leave him. Insecure Seto~~~~!

Flame Box: *points to Anzu* If you really love that girl you will leave me alone. No flames.

"Sometimes I don't even know why I try to understand you!" Joey's voice cried out into the still air. "You always want to hide so many things from me!"

Seto cried, "You just wouldn't understand!"

"HOW CAN I IF YOU WON'T TELL ME?!"

Mokuba sighed as he heard the front door slamming shut again. /Oniisama and Joey must have had another fight.../ He hugged his Blue Eyes plushie to his chest and snuggled deeper into the covers of his warm bed.

Ever since Joey and his brother had gotten together, their love was just a huge roller coaster ride...and most of the time, there were loops more than smooth rides. This time, Seto was accusing Joey of cheating on him...

~ But you and Seto did see Joey with Mai in a club. ~ Mokuba's inner voice told him softly. Tears threatened to spill down Mokuba's eyes.

/But that doesn't prove anything.../ he tried to reason. Joey had told Seto that he was just talking with her...then Seto had shot back, 'Then why didn't you tell me?'

Joey was silent; then Seto had sped off into his car, and had shut the door.

SLAM!

SLAM!

SLAM!

/Three slams...that's worse than last night....it must've been really bad./ Mokuba guessed. He meekly stepped out of the covers, his plushie in tow. Couldn't they just be happy for once?

He stepped into his brother's room, and said softly, "Oniisama? Daijobu desu?"

Seto nodded and said bluntly, "I'm fine."

Mokuba knew he wasn't. "Can't you be honest?"

"I am."

Mokuba sighed and said softly, "Don't you care that I feel horrible every single night...? You always fight with Joey...and yet you always say you love him...I--"

He was pulled into his brother's comforting embrace, and Seto muttered, "I just...am afraid, I guess..."

Mokuba murmured, "About what?"

Seto patted Mokuba's hair absently. "About...what if he doesn't accept me? What if he cheats on me? ...I'm insecure, Mokuba. You know that."

Mokuba whispered, "Then why are you telling me this? He's supposed to be the one who's hearing it."

Seto murmured quietly, "Because he wouldn't understand."

Another voice joined their conversation. "Then try and tell me."

"Joey!" Mokuba said happily, running towards him. Joey smiled. "Hey, Mokuba...why don't you go on and sleep? We'll take care of things."

"Hai! Oyasumi nasai!" He said, as he trotted to his room, his plushie holding onto his small fingers.

Seto walked up towards Joey and whispered, "I...I'm afraid."

Joey softly whispered, "I know...I know." Simply, he led Seto to his own bed and just held him. "It's okay."

Seto murmured, "I...I don't know..."

Joey replied, "Now you're honest...anyway, don't worry so much. I'll be here. I'll always be here. Always."

Seto said softly, "How ironic...being comforted by my own puppy."

Joey smiled. "Sometimes, you forget one thing about puppies."

"What?"

Joey replied, "They're very loyal. Once you earn their--or my-- trust...you're stuck with me for life. I love you. Why would I leave?"

Seto was content in Joey's arms, and snuggled closer to his arms, resting his head under the crook of Joey's neck. Joey chuckled when he heard Seto purr out his answer. "I love you. Sorry I never trusted you...I'll try to."

Joey entangled his free hand onto Seto's, and replied, pressing a kiss to Seto's lips, "Then I'm glad. I'll try to be more open too."

Seto nodded, and said softly, "Stay with me tonight?"

Joey nodded, and they lay down together, Seto leaning onto the big pillows, Joey sprawled on his lithe body. Seto then decided to have a make-out session before sleeping. Slowly, Seto neared his lips onto Joey's, and pressed softly.

Joey smiled and whispered against Seto's lips, "want a good night kiss?"

Seto replied by carefully sweeping his tongue over Joey's bottom lip, again marvelling at how much sweeter it tasted every time he and Joey kissed. Joey opened his mouth, and Seto's questing tongue pressed into every crevice, every single opening...until it met Joey's tongue.

They battled fiercely, but as always, Seto won. As they pulled apart, Seto smiled when Joey pressed his body to his, wrapping his arms around Seto's neck. Seto said softly, "Good night, koi."

Somewhere in the Computer Room, Mokuba snickered as he pulled out the tape. "Thank kami-sama Seto put that camera into his room."

He pressed a cell phone close to his ear and said, "Yugi? Ryou? Yep, I made the copies...but why? ...send them to you? Sure."
