Chapter 11 April 2 months to go

It was now April and two months to go until the wedding. But it was also the start of the spring season and as the saying goes, love was in the air. And the students were waiting for school to end. That was about a month away. As Joey sat in his last class of the day, he looked out the window and smiled. Seto would normally be sitting next to him but today he was home sick. That wasn't why he was smiling, it was because of the way Seto put up a fuss this morning.

flashback

Joey woke up to hear his love coughing and sneezing. He looked over at him and saw he looked pale and just looked sick. Joey reached over and felt his forehead and move his hand away like Seto was on fire. "Seto, you're sick." Seto just looked at him like with a 'no duh' look as he started to sneeze again.

Seto started to get up but was pushed back down by Joey. "Oh no you don't. You staying put."

"What about school? And I can't miss a day at work. Who knows what would happen…"

"What would happen? The business will go on just fine without you for a day." Joey said as he interrupted his lover. "Seto, you're sick and you can take a sick day. I mean you own the darn company and I'm sure it will be there tomorrow. Now rest. I have to go to school but I'll make sure there is someone to see to you unit I get back." Joey said as he got up and went to take a shower. Then he got dressed and walked over to Seto and kissed him on the forehead, he wasn't going to kiss him on the lips and get sick himself, and walked out of the room.

Around lunchtime, he called the house and a maid answered. "Hello Kaiba residence. How may I help you?"

"It's me Joey. How is Seto doing?"

"Oh Mr. Joey. Mr. Kaiba is…well…"

"Being a pain the butt." Joey finished for her with a laugh.

"Well yes sir he his. But it's only because he's sick."

"No, it because he's Seto. I just called to make sure he was doing ok and the house was still there along with all of you. Also tell him that if he thinks of firing anyone he'll have to deal with me." The maid started to giggle a little at that as Joey start to chuckle with her. The bell sounded and Joey said he had to go and would be right home after school.

end flashback

Joey was now in his last class of the day and couldn't wait to get home to take care of Seto. It was only right after all the things Seto had done for him. Saving him from his dad then from his now ex-friends. Yes, it was only right to repay him. Joey really didn't see it as repay him but taking care of someone he loved. He just sat there thinking about Seto and wasn't paying attention in class. That itself wasn't anything new but it still didn't mean that the teacher liked it. The teacher walked up to him and slammed a book on his desk to get his attention. "Mr. Wheeler, will you please tell me the answer to the question?"

"Um..um"

"Maybe sometime in detention this afternoon will make you pay attention next time." He said as he walked off. Joey just sat there glaring at him. He told Seto he would be home right after school now he had detention.

after detention

Joey was in the limo on his way home. He had called to let Seto know he had some detention and would be home late. He didn't sound too happy or that might have been the cold talking. As the car stopped and the butler opened the door. Joey stepped out and walked inside. He saw Mokuba walking downstairs and looked a little mad. "Um, how is he doing?"

"The same as he always is when he's sick. A pain in the butt." Joey just smiled at him as he walked upstairs and to their room. He knocked as he walked in. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm sick. How do you think I feel and on top of that you won't let me do anything?" Seto sounded and looked pissed. "It's for your own good love. I don't want you to stay sick and the best thing for it is some bed rest." Joey said with a smile. He sat down next him after putting his book bag on the desk that's next to the door. Seto just glared at him as he crossed his arms over his chest then started to cough again. Joey reached over grab a glass of water and handed it to him. After Seto drank some, Joey helped him to lie back down. "Sleep. That's an order mister."

"Yes doctor." Seto said sacristy as he lay down and started to drift back off. Joey looked at him as he slept and once again was amazed at how far they both come and where they were going. He just smiled as he pushed some hair off his forehead and kissed him on the forehead. "Sleep well Seto." He whispered as he walked out and softly closed the door.

Later that night Joey was downstairs finishing up on some of his homework when he felt someone put there arms around his neck. "I throught I said to stay in bed Seto." The arms just tighten there hold on his neck. "Seto..what…" Joey started to pass out and heard someone whisper in his ear. "I'm not Seto but Seto does know me." He wasn't sure what that was supposed to mean but he didn't care. He started to fight back and claw the other guy's arms off him. "I…don't …know…who …" was all he was able to choke out before the hold on him tightened. All of sudden the hold loosened, and then the man let go. As Joey turned around he say a maid there with a frying pan in her hands. The maid was 5'8" and had red hair and brown eyes. She wears a normal maid's outfit with a thin waist. She wasn't bad looking. "Oh I didn't mean to kill him just knock him out." She said as she looked down at him. Joey had to laugh at how she sounded somewhat scared and yet not sure what she did. "I'm sure his fine. Just need to call the police and have them come and pick him up."

By the time the police came, the guy was gone. The maid was somewhat glad that she hadn't killed the guy but at the same time was upset that the guy got away. When they asked, what he looked like Joey said he wasn't sure because he wore a ski mask.

Seto heard some noise downstairs and wondered what was going on. Throwing on a robe, he walked downstairs to see his house full of cops and his guards. "What's going on here?" He asked as he kept looking around. Joey looked up from the cop he was talking to and looked at him. He walked over to him and stood next to him as he talked to him. "Nothing to worry about Seto. Just go back upstairs and lay down." Joey didn't want him to worry about it. He was sick and this would only make it worse. Seto just glared at him. "This doesn't look like nothing. Now what is going on?"

"Well we had a brake in…" Seto could tell by the way Joey was acting and how he wouldn't look at him. "What else?"

"….someone tried to kill me…" Joey said softly as he looked away. "If it wasn't for Erica I…I don't know. He was trying to strangle me." Seto was silent then walked past him as he went to the guards. He started barking at them asking how someone could have gotten past his security cameras, alarms and the guards he has around the place. Joey had to calmly walk him away before he ended up passing out for all the energy he was putting out yelling at everyone. "Come Seto. Let's get you back to bed then I'll finish up here and be up shortly." Seto just kept on glaring at him as Joey talked to him as if he was a little kid of five or something and waking him to his room. "I know where the room is and I don't like be talked down to."

"Yes I know and I'm sorry I didn't know I was doing that to you. I'll try not to from now on." Seto just glared as Joey had him by this time they were in there room and lying down.

About 2 hours later

Joey gave a yawn as he open the door to their room and walked in. He went to the bathroom, took a shower, put some pjs on, and crawled into bed. Seto was sound asleep and Joey didn't want to get sick so stayed on his side of the bed. Every now and then, he would hear Seto coughing or whizzing and would help him. It was going to be a long night for both of them.

By morning, Seto was feeling better but not great and Joey was too tired to go to school. Or so he thought. Seto made him go. "If I have to stay home another day then you're going so I can get the assignments." Seto pushed Joey out of bed and he landed with a thud. Seto looked down at him and saw his puppy still sleeping. "Joey the world ran out of food." That did it. Joey's eyes shot open and he looked around then heard snirking and looked at Seto. "That was mean Seto. Real mean. Scaring me a wake like that. Saying the worlds out of food. That's mean even for you Seto." He said as he just pouted. "I couldn't help it. You won't wake up." Joey sighed as he got up and took a shower. Once he was done, he came out and got dressed. He turned to Seto and smiled as he walked over to him and kissed his forehead. "I'll be back as soon as school lets out. Sleep and rest. It's Friday and I want to have fun this weekend. Oh and no firing of the staff." Seto just grunted and wave bye as Joey walked out of the room. Seto got out of bed and watch as his pup, his sister and brother got in the limo and went to school. He started to think of Serenity as his sister and why not she would be soon.

They never knew that the guy that tried to kill Joey last night hadn't left. He was still in the house and was just looking and waiting for the next time, he could strike. And he would soon.
