Chapter 9c February 4 months to go

The next day Joey woke up with the alarm clock going off. He had not gotten much sleep so he rolled over and hit the snooze button. Seto was up and coming out of the shower when he heard the alarm go off and knew his pup wouldn't want to get up. Sure enough, when he came out of the room Joey was fast asleep after he hit the button. Seto just smiled at what he saw. Joey was laying diagonal across the bed on his stomach. He was laying on his left check so he can breathe and his left arm was bent up as he hand was under Seto's pillow. He other arm was hanging off the bed as if he just let it fall after hitting the button. Seto had to smile. It was always so hard to get him up but he knew how to.

Seto walked over to where Joey's face was. He got down on his knees and whispered in his ear one word. "Food." then back up. Joey shot up looking around for it then heard someone laugh and turned his head to see his lover laughing at him. "That works every time."

"Ya well one day it won't."

"Only the day you stop thinking with your stomach."

"I don't always think with my stomach."

"Ya reiiiight Joey. Just keep saying that and one day you might believe it." Seto said as he got up and started to get dressed. "Now get your lazy butt out of bed and get ready for school."

"Yes, dad." Joey said as he got up and went to take his shower.

A few minutes later, Seto and Joey showed up at school. Ever since Joey moved out and then back in with Seto he was on time and sometimes showed up before Yugi and the gang. He didn't mind it. It was more time for them to spend together without anyone interrupting them. Like today. Joey was sitting in Seto's lap at Seto's desk making out with him. After last night, Joey was glad to see that Seto was back to normal. Joey started to unbutton the button on Seto's jacket but Seto's stopped him. Grabbing Joey's hands Seto looked into his eyes. They were clouded over with lust and want for him. Seto knew his eyes were the same but he heard someone coming. "Not now pup. Someone's coming and you don't want them to see do you?"

"I guess not. It might be hard for you to perform if someone did walk in." Joey said with a smirk. "Me? I don't think so. I would be more like you pup." He said he pulled him back down by grabbing his collar that Joey was wearing.

Every since his birthday Joey was slowly getting used to it and was actually started to like it. It meant that he was Seto's and noone could take him away from Seto. And that was just fine with him. All too soon, Joey pulled away as he heard people start to come in and it was time for school to start.

after school

Seto and Joey where walking to the limo and saw Erin standing outside of it and this time she looked like she could kill whoever it was she was talking to. "I already said that Mr. Kaiba cannot come today. One he doesn't need to be there and two he has another appointment he cannot miss." There was a pause and Erin was counting backwards from 10 even if you couldn't hear her, you could see it. "How do I know this stuff? I'm his personal assistant that's how. And yes, I know what this meeting is about. Fine I'll let you talk to him. He is standing right here." There was a short pause on both ends, finally, Erin started to smile as she got her away again. "Ok then. Thanks for calling. Chow." and hung up. She looked up to see Seto and Joey starring at her. "What?" She said as her eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. She made no move to apologize for the way she acted on the phone. "It's nothing. I just like the way you handle yourself on the phone that's all."

"Well I'm glad you're happy, sir." Smiled at him. "Now we need to pick the kids up and then its off to the fitting and have Serenity's dress made. Oh by the way what colors did you guys want?"

"Colors?" Joey asks after they had gotten in and were heading to pick up the kids.

"Yes, colors. I know you're going to be wearing white." Erin said ass she pointed to Joey. "And you'll be wearing black tuxes just like Mokuba. But what about Serenity? What color do you want her dress to be?"

"Well, what color are you making your dress?" Seto asked.

"My dress?"

"Yes your dress. You are going to be in it."

"I am?" She asked with wide eyes. Seto just smiled and nodded his head.

"Well, I've always been told I look good in green so a soft green dress, I guess."

"Then little sis's dress will be the same color."

"But I didn't make the appointment for both of us, just her."

"So say that I just informed you about it today. I'm sure they will make sure to get you in as well as Serenity."

"I guess so." Erin said as the kids climbed in and they headed to the tailor's shop. "What were you guys talking about?" Serenity asked.

"About how I just got informed that I'll be in the wedding as well."

"Oh cool. So what colors are we wearing?"

"Is soft green ok with you?"

"Sure. I like green." Serenity said as she smiled up at Erin. She was between Erin and Mokuba and turned to the guys and saw them talking about the fitting and stuff.

4:30 and at the tailor shop

Seto, Joey, and Mokuba were in the tailor shop having a fitting done. The limo drove off with Serenity and Erin to pick out their dresses and, if needed, tailored to fit them better. A man in his late 30s came walking in from the back. "Aw. Mr. Kaiba. I'm so happy you decided to come here. I understand you three need tuxedos. If you three will step this way and we'll get you started." Seto and the other two followed the man into the back where they started measuring them. The guys stood around chatting about the wedding when Joey said, "Oh and Yugi wants to throw the bachelor party."

"Don't you mean Yami does pup?"

"No. I mean Yugi wants to."

"Yugi?" Both Kaiba brothers said as they turned and looked at him. "Ya I know little Yugi. But he wants to. He already started planning it." Joey started to laugh as he shook his head remembering when Yugi told him about it.

flashback earlier that week

Joey was spending some time with his friends, Yugi and Yami, at their house. They were sitting around chatting when Yugi brought it up. "Hey Joey what would you say if I threw you and Seto a bachelor party?" Joey looked at him with a shocked looked. "You want to throw a bachelor party for both of us?" Yugi just smiled as he nodded his head yes. "Well what do you plan on happening at this party?" Yugi told him it would be like all the other bachelor parties. Drinks, food and then he stuttered and blushed as he said the last part. "What was that?"

"Strippers."

"You are going to hire a stripper?"

"Yes. Is that hard to believe?"

"Well...ya it is." Yugi just glared at him when Joey said that. "Well anyway I want to throw you each one."

"You mean as in two different ones at two different times?"

"Yep but I don't think Kaiba will want one so don't tell him about his. Besides with the surprise he we have in store for him....well it just won't be right to tell him about it." Yugi said with a smile as he looked over at Yami who was also smiling.

end flashback

Seto was relieved when he found out it was for Joey. "You know if you want to come you can."

"No that's alright. I'm sure I can find something to do that night."

"Well what about me? Can I come?" Mokuba asked. Both guys turned and said "No!" at the same time in the same kind of voice. "Man. I was just asking." Seto just glared at him while Joey just shook his head. After a few more minutes they where all done and Seto had called Erin to see if they were done.

At the dress shop

Erin and Serenity were looking at dresses for both of them when someone came up to them to see if they needed any help. "Yes, we're here to look for dresses for a wedding. She's going to be in it as am I. I was thinking on the lines of something soft green."

"Oh yes you must be Serenity." taking her hand and shaking it. "But you said there was just going to be one person?" Looking over at Erin.

"Yes well Mr. Kaiba said that I going to be in as well. He just informed me today."

"Well in that case come this way and we'll see what we have." They followed the young sales woman around looking at different dresses and trying some on. After awhile they had picked out their dresses and had their measurements taken to alter them to make sure they fit just right. "They should be ready in time for the wedding."

"Thank you." Erin heard her cell phone go off. "Well we need to be going. Thank you once again." The store clerk smiled as she shook Erin's hand.

Outside and in the limo Erin answers the call. "Hello. This is Erin, Mr. Kaiba's assistant. How may I help you?"

"Wow that is a lot to say all at once."

"Mr. Kaiba. I take it you are all done?"

"Yes we are. Are you guys?"

"Yes in fact we are on our way to pick you up."

"Good see you then." They both hang up. "Well it looks like we got done just in time." Erin said to a smiling Serenity. "Yes it does. I'm so happy that Joey realized how much he loves Seto. For awhile I didn't think that they would ever see it."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I'm sure you heard how much they used to fight. It happened all the time, from what I heard and saw. Seto always calling Joey a dog or mutt and then Joey would say something with the name moneybag in it. Most of the time it was just words but sometimes they would use their fists as well. But now that they know how they feel I'm just so happy for him." Erin just watched Serenity as she told her some of their past. It was true that Erin had heard this stuff before but she didn't know how much of was true. It looked like it all was true. Seto was different and Erin could tell. She may not have worked for him long but from what she saw and heard this Seto was nicer than the old one and happier with his life.
