-Split- Joey's dream

"Katsuya! I missed you so much," said a figure standing in front of Joey. Joey looked around himself wondering whom this stranger was talking to. Suddenly the unfamiliar person embraced him. Strangely enough Joey wasn't freaked out, in a weird way Joey felt as if he knew this person.

"Seth," Joey heard himself say. Joey got goose bumps and his heart beat faster. Joey was released from the strangers embrace but felt his lips connect with something warm and soft. He was being kissed by this somebody. Joey couldn't see the stranger's face properly because there was a shadow cast over it. All Joey knew considering the deepness of the person's voice was that he was kissing a guy! Still no matter who this guy was he was a great kisser. Joey felt himself give in and lean more into the kiss. When both of them pulled away Joey saw the stranger's face. 'KAIBA!?'

-Split- Kaiba's dream

Kaiba felt himself being lowered onto a silk covered bed. He couldn't see anything because he was blindfolded. But for some strange reason Kaiba didn't struggle or demand for the blindfold to be taken off. He felt safe…

"Now, let's see what I have in store for the almighty Seth." The voice came from on top of him. The person that belonged to the very familiar voice was lying between his legs and was half lying on his chest. Kaiba felt content and at ease, as if this always happened. The figure leaned forward so he was practically lying on Kaiba's chest. It felt so right. Kaiba's lips met the others in a gentle kiss and arms embraced the other in a gentle hug as if they had a mind of their own.

"I love you, Katsuya." Wondering who had said it Kaiba tried to sense an extra presence in the room. That's when he realised it came from him.

The figure on top of Kaiba chuckled lightly and untied the blindfold while saying, "How did you know it was me?" When the figure sat up straight, Kaiba's eyes widened in surprise. 'JOEY!?'

BEEP! BEEP!

Joey's eyes snapped open. He groaned and whacked his alarm clock attempting to turn it off. Joey rubbed his eyes, flashbacks of his dream reoccurring in his mind. 'What the hell kind of dream was that?' Joey pondered. 'Kaiba, Seto Kaiba, kissing me. Him and me? Kissing for goodness sake!' Joey touched his lips with his fingers, as if in a trance. He remembered how great Kaiba's lips had felt. 'I wonder if his lips feel that soft in real life,' Joey wondered. Being the daredevil he was, Joey decided to somehow kiss Kaiba today. Joey grinned sheepishly, 'I wonder if he'll kiss me back.' Shaking himself out of his trance Joey got ready for school. The strange thing was, the whole time he could still feel Kaiba's lips on his own. Joey couldn't stop blushing for the rest of the morning.

-Split-

Kaiba gently opened his eyes, but was blinded by the sun. Kaiba groaned and decided to go back to sleep. That's when he realised something was sitting on his chest. He snapped his eyes open and almost died of shock. Kaiba was face to face with his brother, Mokie. Mokuba's face was inches from his own and his black tresses were tickling his face. Kaiba bolted upright and in doing so Mokie fell backwards off the bed.

"Owww!" Kaiba quickly scrambled out of bed to help his brother. Mokie was sitting on the floor rubbing his sore bottom. Kaiba was trying not to laugh out loud at the hilarious scene. Mokuba meanwhile realised what he needed to tell Seto.

"You're going to be late for school. You slept in," Mokuba gasped out, before limping out of the room. Kaiba whipped his head around and looked at his clock. 8:20am. 'Oh shit,' Kaiba cursed.

-Split-

The homeroom teacher was gaping in surprise as both Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler burst through the classroom doors. The teacher cleared her throat and both students looked in her direction. Kaiba composed himself but was slightly surprised to see Joey staring at him as if in a trance.

"Would you both please give me very good reasons why you are late?" The teacher demanded. Kaiba rolled his eyes at the teacher.

"I saw Joey walking to school so I offered him a ride. On the way my car punctured a type so we had to run the rest of the way," Kaiba calmly explained. Joey's eyes were bulging out of his sockets and he was staring questionably at Kaiba. The teacher didn't believe any of the nonsense that Kaiba just said, but calling him a liar would be a huge mistake. She slumped back into her chair and waved them off. Kaiba smirked and walked to his desk at the back of the room.

-Split-

Joey wasn't up to answering his friends pestering questions about him and Kaiba so he sat at the back of the class right next to Kaiba. Kaiba glared at him but Joey just ignored it. He just got out some paper and starting doodling on it. Joey quickly glanced at Kaiba and was shocked to see him just staring at his blank paper, a glazed look on his eyes. 'This day's just getting freakier.'

Joey yawned and looked at the clock. 'Damn it! Still 15 minutes left until the bell rings.' He quickly glanced at Kaiba, who was still staring at his paper. Seeing as there was nothing better to do, Joey started to draw Kaiba. For some strange reason, Kaiba's face was extremely alluring. 'Not in a sexy way, but in an emotive perspective,' Joey thought. Though it was somewhat cute, with his lips open slightly and his uncharacteristically tousled hair. A light blush appeared on Joey's face and he even started to drool. Before anyone could notice Joey shoke his head and got back to drawing Kaiba.

-Split-

Kaiba kept replaying the dream over and over in his head. The one scene that was most confusing was the image of Joey or 'Katsuya' and the words, 'I love you, Katsuya' echoing in his mind. Out of the corner of his eye Kaiba could see Joey glancing at him before returning to his paper. Either Joey was trying to piss him off or he was…drawing him. Not wanting Joey to stop drawing if he moved, Kaiba silently watched Joey through the corner of his eyes, looking away whenever Joey glanced up.

-Split-

Joey put on the finishing touches and scrambled down a little note before signing his name. RING! RING! RING!

He gathered his stuff quickly before stopping in front of Kaiba's desk and placing the picture on top of Kaiba's belongings.

"See ya, Kaiba," Joey said before catching up with the group.

-Split-

Kaiba looked up when he saw Joey standing in front of his desk. Kaiba was speechless as Joey dropped a piece of paper on his books. Kaiba slowly picked up the paper and stared in awe at the drawing of him. It was captivating. Kaiba never knew how creative Joey was. The note at the bottom caught Kaiba's attention.

Kaiba,

Are you okay? You seem really out of it today. Got girl troubles or something? Just kidding. I've been spaced out too lately. This might sound really freaky but last night I had this really weird dream about you. Let me explain Kaiba so get your head out of the gutter. Anyway in this dream you called me 'Katsuya' and I called you 'Seth' or whatever. I'm probably just going crazy. I'm sure you're glad to hear that.

Laters,

Joey or 'Katsuya'

Kaiba couldn't believe what he was reading. 'What the hell?' Kaiba grabbed his stuff and ran in the direction Joey had headed. Kaiba had some questions he needed to ask Joey. When Kaiba finally spotted Joey he caught up to him and spun him around.

"What happened in the dream?" Kaiba asked, sounding slightly frantic. Joey looked surprised but not shocked.

"N…Nothing happened," Joey stuttered. Kaiba grabbed Joey by the arm and led him into a deserted corridor. Kaiba repeated the same question but this time he sounded calmer. Joey looked Kaiba in the eye. Strangely Kaiba could see a tint of pink on his cheeks.

"Nothing happened!" Joey exclaimed. Kaiba grabbed Joey by the collar and pushed him against the lockers.

"Tell me the truth! What happened?" Kaiba demanded. Anger flashed in Joey's eyes before he flipped them both so he was pushing Kaiba against the lockers.

"We kissed, okay!" Joey yelled. He spontaneously leaned forward and locked their lips together. It was only for a second but both boys were beet red. With a blush still evident on his face, Joey turned around to leave but was stopped when someone grabbed his arm. Kaiba's lips met Joey's a second time. Joey put his arms around Kaiba's neck, pulling him closer. Their kiss became passionate and heated. Joey felt Kaiba's tongue stroke his bottom lip and eagerly opened his mouth. Joey felt his back connect with a locker and Kaiba's leg pushed gently in between Joey's legs. Kaiba plunged his tongue into Joey's mouth over and over in a seductive manner. Joey tried to suppress a moan but failed miserably when Kaiba's hand roamed up under his shirt. 'Wait! I'm in school, in a corridor and making out with Kaiba.' Joey pushed Kaiba off him, restraining himself from going back to making out with the irresistibly sexy guy standing in front of him.

"I'm sorry," Joey whispered before briskly walking off. Kaiba was left in a daze and extremely flustered. Everything had happened so quickly and it was the spur of the moment. Kaiba smirked.

'So his lips–'

-Split-

'–are soft,' Joey thought. Not wanting to be caught by Kaiba, Joey dashed to the rooftop. He slumped against the wall, depressed that he'd been such an idiot to kiss Kaiba. He had to admit he wished he could kiss Kaiba again but considering the circumstances Joey highly doubted it. Joey decided to skip his last periods seeing as Kaiba was in his class. Though they did have PE, which could help him to forget about Kaiba seeing as he never showed up at class. Joey groaned when he realized he'd forgotten his uniform. 'Just great.' They had English last and Kaiba would definitely be there. Joey had already lost his dignity when he kissed Kaiba and he didn't want to throw away his pride if Kaiba saw him.

-Split-

"Yugi! Yo dude wait up!" Joey called. Yugi turned around and immediately found himself in a bear hug.

"Hey Joey. Where were you?" Yugi asked sounding concerned. Joey forced a sheepish grin.

"Sorry Yug, I forgot my uniform and didn't want to be busted by the teacher." Yugi lightly chuckled. His face changed as if he realised something.

"By the way, guess who was at PE?" Yugi asked. Joey shrugged, totally clueless.

"Kaiba," Yugi said.

"Kaiba? The Kaiba?" Joey questioned. Yugi nodded.

"He came in, looked around and then just walked off to the corner and opened his laptop. He seemed disappointed," Yugi stated. 'Could it be,' Joey thought, 'he was looking for me?' Joey shrugged it off as unimportant.

Joey stuffed his hands into his pockets and slowly made his way home. Hoping that his dad was asleep or out Joey slowly opened the apartment door. The smell of cigarettes and liquor hit his nose. As Joey spotted his dad chugging down a bottle of beer a wave of fear washed over him. 'Oh shit,' Joey thought. 'He's drunk.' He tried to sneak past his dad hoping he was too drunk to notice him.

"Thought you could sneak away from me, you useless piece of shit?" Joey froze as he heard his dad laugh. He turned around just as his dad smashed his beer bottle on the table bench. Joey quickly backed away from his dad, who was holding the end of the broken bottle. Joey was panicking inside, frantically searching the room to find something of use. He was about to grab a nearby vase when his dad whacked his hand away with the broken beer bottle. Shards of glass cut into Joey's skin. Joey cried out in pain as he clutched his bleeding hand. His dad laughed hysterically, hiccupping every now and then. Joey huddled into a ball waiting for the blow. Just then his dad swayed and collapsed onto the floor. Not wanting to be there when his dad woke up, Joey grabbed his jacket and scurried out the door.
