Joey attentively entered the enormous mansion. Seto gave his hand a reassuring squeeze, and then slowing guided Joey around the spacious rooms and hallways. Joey gasped when he entered his temporary new room. It was huge and it had its own ensuite and balcony. It was located across the hall from Seto and Mokuba's room. Joey's stomach grumbled and he blushed slightly as he looked at the time. '5:30 p.m. already!' Seto lightly chuckled.
"I'll ask my chef to prepare our dinner," he said. Seto left Joey to unpack his stuff while he got everything ready.
Dinner and time went by so quickly that with a blink of the eye, Joey was in his king size bed thinking about Seto. 'Is it all a dream? It feels too good to be true.'
--
Seto silently watched Joey sleep. He couldn't comprehend how any of this had led to him but he wasn't complaining because Joey was his now. 'I'm not going to give you up to anyone, puppy.' His eyes shifted from Joey's angelic face to his golden hair. Wondering whether it was as soft as it looked, Seto gently walked over to Joey's bed.
-- Joey's dream/previous event
Joey arrived late at night after the beer bottle accident, hoping his dad was still passed out. As soon as he'd entered the living room, Joey was thrown into the room and there his father was, standing over him with a knife.
"Dad, stop it! I'll be good, just don't hurt me!" Joey cried, backing away from his father. His dad was holding a knife in his hand and had a murderous look in his eyes.
"It's all your fault my wife left me. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Joey's father screamed. He brought the knife down on Joey, stabbing him repeatedly, his hands gripping Joey's arms in a painful grip. Screams echoed through the isolated room. Soon, the sound subsided and the figure moved away from the lifeless Joey…
-- End of Joey's dream
Joey started to toss and turn in bed so Seto rushed over to his side to comfort him. Soon the tossing became more rapid and violent. Seto embraced Joey, trying to bring him out of his nightmare. Tears streaked down Joey's cheeks and an agonizing scream emitted from Joey's lips. Joey's body became limp in Seto's arms. His breathing was shallowbut it seemed Joey was fine. 'That was a little painful.' Quickly glancing over at Joey, Seto decided to stay with him for the night, just in case he had another nightmare.
--
Joey woke with a start. He was a bit dazed and confused, not remembering the previous events. That was until he spotted Seto sprawled on a nearby chair. The past events flooded back into his mind. Joey blushed when he recalled how safe he felt in Seto's arms and the warmth of his hands. Afraid that this was all a dream, Joey pinched himself.
"Ouch!"
"Joey, what are you doing?" A half asleep Seto questioned, bewilderment evident on his face. In seeing Joey blush Seto's face softened and he let out a light chuckle. Seto walked over to the bed and sat down next to Joey. He entwined their hands together and inched closer to him. Their lips were almost touching when Seto pulled back slightly and covered Joey's mouth with his hand. With his hand still in place Seto leaned closely to Joey's ear and whispered, "You have doggy breath!" In hearing the remark, though slightly blushing at the close contact, Joey pouted at Seto. He grabbed the nearest pillow and whacked Seto on the head.
"Don't be such a tease!" With that Joey got up from the bed whilst Seto drooled over the sight of Joey clad only in boxers. Unfortunately Seto was deprived of his daydreams/trance when Joey put on a T-shirt and baggy pants, teasingly giving Seto a fantastic view of his nice ass as he pulled up his pants. Still annoyed at Seto's doggy remark Joey left the room in a huff, leaving behind a very disappointed Seto. No less than a second later, Joey stuck his head back into the room, looking a bit lost.
"Where's the kitchen?" Joey asked. Seto chuckled as he got up from the bed and headed in the direction of the kitchen with a hungry pup following behind.
As soon as they entered the kitchen Joey was glomped by a very cheerful and hyper Mokuba.
"Hey big brother, hey Joey!" Seto smiled as Joey attempted to detach Mokie from his leg. When Mokie was finally pried off Joey's legs he turned toward Seto.
"So this was your 'friend' you were talking about," Mokie said. Joey's attention had left the conversation and was glued to the food on the table.
"I'm glad to see you're getting along," Mokuba whispered, he winked at his big brother before seating himself next to Joey. Seto just stood there pondering what Mokie was trying to imply. 'Did he mean as in friends getting along or…'
"It's not like that," Seto mumbled. Not knowing if his brother had heard him Seto glanced at Mokie. Mokuba's eyebrow was raised and he had a smirk gracing his features. The look on his face could be easily read; 'we'll see about that.' Seto inwardly groaned. 'Children these days are too observant for their own good.' Seto's thoughts were interrupted when he was poked in the ribs.
"Seto? What are you staring off into space about…?" Joey inquired. Joey leaned closer to Seto when he heard him mutter something incoherent about Mokuba. Too bothered to wait for Seto to repeat himself, Joey continued eating his breakfast. Seto flicked through the mail letters once he was sitting down at the table. A huge parcel caught Seto's attention as he was rummaging through the junk mail and bills. His mouth became dry when he recognized the hospital stamp in the corner of the parcel. Seto prayed it wasn't something urgent, hopefully just the x-rays. When he finally opened the parcel Seto noted that there were no x-rays, just papers. He held his breath as he read the files enclosed. 'How am I going to tell Joey? This will save him from his tormented future but what if Joey doesn't go ahead with it.' Seto needed to tell Joey as soon as possible but he needed Joey to feel safe and secure knowing he wouldn't be alone afterwards. Setting down his spoon, Seto faced Joey with a serene smile.
"Joey and Mokie, how about we all go to the park this afternoon for a picnic? Just the three of us." Seto was immediately tackled into fierce hugs from the two who were vigorously nodding.

You are the latest contender
You are the one to remember
You are the villain who sends a
Line of dark fantastic passion
Joey and Seto were gingerly eating their lunch. Both boys glancing up at the other every now and then, blushing when they were caught. Seto seemed to be preoccupied, his eyes glazing over, refocusing whenever he'd check up on Mokie or Joey. On the other hand Joey was in bliss. He wanted to savor every moment just in case he woke up and it was all a dream.
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion
Will have fantastic passion
"Joey?" Seto said. Joey looked up and locked eyes with Seto's. "There's something really important I need to discuss with you." Joey's eyes narrowed when he heard the sternness and anxiety in Seto's voice. 'I need to calm down. Don't jump to conclusions. It's not what you think. Seto's not going to-'
"HEADS UP!" Seto and Joey spun their heads in the direction of the voice when a ball whacked Seto on the head. They heard a soft giggle that turned into fits of laughter.
"Sorry Seto," Mokuba apologized, clutching his stomach from laughing so hard. A very angry Seto stood up and towered menacingly over Mokie.
"You are so going to pay for that," threatened Seto, a smile starting to twitch at the corners of his mouth.
You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes undress your eyes
Words of love and words are leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Die and so you die
Seto grabbed Mokuba around the waist and hoisted Mokie over his shoulders. Mokuba was laughing and trying to grab the ball from Seto's hand. 'This is the side of Seto that no one sees.' Joey's eyelids were getting heavy so he decided to rest a while, knowing that Seto was nearby.
You are the latest adventurer
You're an emotion avenger
You are the devil that sells a
Line of dark fantastic pleasure
Joey awoke to the sound of shoes padding in his direction. He leisurely opened one eye peering up through the gaps in his hair. Seto was slowly making his way over to him, puffing slightly and carrying the ball. Seto sat slumped against the tree so Joey scooted closer to him, resting his head on Seto's shoulder.
"I gave Mokuba some money to buy himself an ice cream so we could have some alone time." Joey grinned. 'That's the other thing about Seto. He can say a simple sentence and my heart beat quickens.'
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion
Will have fantastic passion
Seto entwined their hands and his thumb tenderly traced circles on Joey's hand.
"Are you okay?" Seto asked. Joey nodded and stifled a yawn.
"Just tired." Leaves floated down from the tree, swirling and dancing in the tender breeze before one rested on Joey's head. Seto reached out to pick the leaf from Joey's head but his hand ended up stroking Joey's soft blond locks. His hand trailed over his cheeks and traced Joey's jaw line. Seto's thumb brushed Joey's bottom lip.
You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes undress your eyes
Skin can feel my lips they tingle
Tense anticipation
The moment was too enticing that Seto leaned in and their lips met. When they broke away, they leaned in again and Joey threaded one hand through Seto's hair and the other around his neck. Seto ran his tongue along Joey's bottom lip and Joey opened his mouth slightly. Seto's tongue darted into Joey's mouth and both tongues stroked against each other, fighting for dominance. Both Seto and Joey explored each other's mouths, moans escaping their lips. Seto moved from Joey's mouth to his neck, placing light kisses on Joey's skin.
This one is an easy one
Feel the word and melt upon it
Words of love and words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Die, so you die
The couple was interrupted from their intimate session when someone cleared their throat. Mokuba was standing there licking his ice cream. Amusement spread all over his face. Both Seto and Joey blushed ten shades of red.
"I was going to ask you guys if you wanted some ice cream but you seem to be pretty occupied. " Mokuba said as he lightly chuckled. "Though it would be better if you were occupied at home and not in the park where children can see you."
--
They were all seated in the limo, driving back to the mansion. Joey was still blushing, Mokuba had a playful smile on his lips and Seto wasn't sure what to make of the situation. 'I'm happy I kissed Joey and that Mokuba wasn't disgusted about Joey and I being together. But Mokie did see me sticking my tongue down Joey's throat and Joey hasn't said a single word since Mokie interrupted us.'
