Well, it's not as long as I wish it was but oh well. I got to see Yu-Gi-Oh the movie! To anyone else who saw it did Seto's voice sound kind of different? And I'll try to update more regularly now that I'm back in school. Also, is it just me or are all chaffeurs called James?
- Chapter 11 -
"Need a ride?" Seto and Joey walked out of the arcade. It was late and Tristan and Yugi had just said good-bye and left.
"Yeah," Joey accepted the offer. They sat in the limo in silence for a few moments.
"You beat Yugi?" Joey suddenly asked. Seto look confused, then realized that Joey was talking about the racing game.
"No..." Seto grimaced. "Racing games were always my weak point." Joey raised his eyebrows, surprised.
"The Seto Kaiba has a weak point?" Joey questioned. "I'm sure many would be surprised to hear that." Seto smiled, laughing at Joey's antics.
"Guess it just shows I'm human after all..." Seto replied smirking playfully.
"You, human? And all these years I've always thought you were an android." Before Seto could provide a comeback the limo stopped abruptly.
"We're not there yet." Joey pointed out, looking out the window. Seto frowned.
"James, why are we stopping?" He asked his chauffeur.
"The road is blocked. There seems there had been an accident. I think a truck and an SJ40 collided and now there are pieces-" Seto interrupted James description.
"Is there any way around it?"
"No, sir." James replied.
"You can just drop me off here, I can walk." Joey said, not wishing to cause any problems.
"No, it's too late to have you walking alone. You can just stay at my house." Seto told Joey much to his objections that he had no problem walking. But Seto ignored him.
"Home, James."
"Here's your room. My room's just down the hall..." Seto pointed to the left. "Just ask if you need anything."
"Thanks, night." Joey said as he started to open the door. Seto started walking down the hall to the right, in the opposite direction of where his room was.
"Hey, wait. Where you going? Didn't you just say your room's that way?" Joey asked. Seto looked at Joey as if the answer was obvious.
"I have some work to do..." He started. Joey just shook his head, Seto was completely hopeless.
"Work? It's Saturday, you know, a weekend."
"I know what a weekend is, mutt." Seto retorted.
"Well, you're not supposed to work on the weekend." Joey said, sure that Seto was indeed missing a few brain cells.
"Says who?" Seto asked, bored already of Joey's argument. He had heard it many times before from Mokuba – that never stopped him from working.
"I do." Joey said proudly.
"I don't have time for this." Seto turned to go walk down the hall but Joey stepped in front of him.
"You're not going to work now." Joey stated confidently.
"Why not?" Seto raised his eyebrows – this was amusing him. Joey paused to think of a reason.
"Because... we're going to watch a movie."
"We? I thought you were going to sleep." Seto replied.
"I'm not tired." Joey shrugged. "So why not?" Joey looked at Seto questioningly, hoping that Seto would just give in for once. Seto thought for a moment.
"No." He pushed past Joey and walked a few paces down the hall.
"Yes, you are." Joey caught up with him and grabbed his wrist, stopping him from moving any further.
"I'd like to see you make me." Seto started; sure that Joey was going to give up eventually. Unfortunately he did not know that dogs were very stubborn – and that Joey was the worst of the lot.
"I can't believe you just did that!" Seto said shocked. He was sitting down on the couch in front of a giant TV screen. Joey was busy looking around for a DVD or a tape that was at least bearable to watch – meaning anything rated R.
"Well, you did say you'd like to see me try..." Joey murmured.
"Do you normally tie people up?" Seto was astonished. Joey had just caught him by surprise, tied his hands together with his belt, and then tied his shoelaces together. The most surprising thing was that he couldn't move – well, at least not well enough to walk to his office without falling at least a dozen times and perhaps breaking a thing or two. Hell, he fell twice walking here and that was with Joey's help.
"Maybe," Joey smirked. It was so fun to catch Seto off guard.
"Hey, what about this movie? Scary Movie 2," Joey showed Seto the DVD.
"Okay, it's probably one of Mokuba's-wait I TOLD MOKUBA HE COULDN'T WATCH THAT!" Seto's eyes went wide in horror.
"So that's why it was hidden in the very back..." Joey muttered absentmindedly while Seto still yelled at...well himself technically since Joey wasn't listening.
"Chill Seto, he's 13. This movie isn't that bad..." Joey tried to calm Seto down.
"He's 12..." Seto grumbled, now realizing why Mokuba hadn't gotten mad when Seto had told him that he couldn't watch it. But even so he became quiet and Joey joined him on the couch.
"So you think you could untie me now?" Seto asked just as the movie started.
"No." Joey said. "I'm not going to fall for that." Joey stared at him suspiciously.
"Could you at least loosen-" Joey cut him off.
"Shhh, the movies started." Seto just frowned and tried to move his hands to a position that was at least relatively comfortable. No such luck.
"C'mon Joey. I won't leave." Right, of course he wouldn't...
"Yeah right. You're probably thinking about how the moment I untie you you'll run out and lock me in here so I can't go after you." Joey said psychically. Seto scowled, knowing that it was going to be a long, long night.
"I didn't think about locking you in here..." Seto said jokingly. "Good idea though," Joey just rolled his eyes.
"You're pathetic." He commented.
"Couldn't you at least loosen them up? They hurt." Seto gave Joey a feeble look.
"Awww, poor baby. You gonna cry now?" Joey teased him. Seto frowned.
"I thought you were my friend." Seto pretended to pout and stuck out his tongue. Joey stared, and then started – to Seto's surprise – to howl with laughter.
Seto pouting, it was priceless. Seto never did anything like that; it was just un-Setoish. It was fun to see him actually act human and well, like a teenager would. A normal teenager. But then it also helped that he looked kind of cute when he pouted...
Joey opened his eyes tiredly and shut them again quickly.
"It's too early..." He mumbled to himself as he tried to go back to sleep. This, alas, was not entirely possible for whatever he had been using as a pillow wasn't exactly soft. He moved, trying to get comfortable.
"Ouch, mutt that was my stomach." Joey opened his eyes suddenly and blinked, trying to orientate himself. He and Seto were both sprawled out on the couch. They must have fallen asleep while watching the movie. Seto tried to push Joey off of him – well, as well as he could seeing he was still tied up – and ended up pushing him of the couch.
"Hey, that hurt." Joey complained.
"You should talk. I'm the one who had to sleep tied up." Seto retorted. Joey snickered.
"Oh yeah, forgot about that...sit up, I'll untie you now – you've been tortured enough."
"You think?" Seto glared at him. Seto sat up though and Joey got back onto the couch so he could try to untie Seto's hands...
"Oh Seto, there you are...uhh..." Mokuba walked into the room and was obviously confused by the scene.
"Joey, what are you doing here...and why are you tied up Seto?"
