Thursday soon arrive, and Seto gets to the hair shop at 5pm. Joey is there as promised. "Are you gonna set my hair?" Seto asks.
"I have to. All the others are too scared to do it." Joey answers and starts setting Seto's hair. Seto closes his eyes and enjoys the feeling of Joey's hands slightly touching his neck and face.
"Hey, Joey, can you set my hair next week again?" Seto asks. Joey answers, "Sure. What's the occasion? Seeing someone special?"
"You can say that." Seto replies.
Another week comes, and Seto asks Joey to set his hair again. Joey smiles and says, "seeing someone special again?"
"Yes." Seto says. Week after week, Seto ask Joey to go to the hair shop and set or trim his hair. After about a month, Joey starts to get curious. "Hey, Kaiba, seeing that special someone again?" Joey asks when cutting Seto's hair.
"Yes." Seto answers.
"You're getting serious. You see her all the time. Say, do I know her?"
"It's him; I am serious about him, I love him very much and yes, you do know him."
Joey wants to ask Seto who it is, but that really is none of Joey's business and Joey hates to be too nosy. (Shouldn't be asking Seto about his love life to begin with.) Joey thinks. The blonde finishes cutting Seto's hair and blows the hair off Seto's neck. "There, all done." Joey says.
"Thank you." Seto stands up and leaves. Joey gathers up his things and gets on his motorcycle. "Bye." Joey bids his farewell and heads on home.
Joey gets on his motorcycle and starts the engine. Not too far away, a group of car racers speed their cars down the street. Joey doesn't know the racers are coming and gets onto the road.
A car speeds pass Joey's motorcycle at high speed. Joey's bike almost crushes. Two more cars race pass the blonde, making him wobbling dangerously. Joey almost gets his balance back when three more cars speed pass him. Joey lost control of his bike and heads toward a light post.
The blond can sees his life flashing in front of his eyes. He jumps out of the motorcycle right before it collides with the light post. A Limo speeds down the road and stops next to the blonde.
"Are you alright?" Seto runs out of the limo. He saw what happened to Joey and comes to help the blonde.
"Kaiba?" Joey is still dizzy and he can't really get up.
"Don't try to get up. The police and the ambulance are coming." Seto says. The taller boy takes off his jacket and covers the smaller one with it.
The police catches the racers and the paramedic checks Joey. "He is fine. He can go home if he wants, unless he want us to take him to the hospital for a checkup." The paramedic says.
"It's okay. I have been hurt worse. I hate hospital and I just want to go home." Joey answers.
"You want us to give you a ride home, son?" The police asks. Joey is about to say 'yes' when he feels Seto's hand on his shoulder. The BEWD master is holding the REBD master in his arms.
"I'll send him home." Seto says.
"But what about your date? I made you late already!" Joey says.
"I have no date. I am not late for anything. I'm heading home anyway."
"What about your lover, the guy you're seeing? Your someone special?"
"Already seen him." Seto answers.
Joey blinks, "You did? When?"
"He was cutting my hair."
"huh?"
"You and your puppy brain. As dense as ever. You're that special someone, I go to the hair shop to see you, Joey Wheeler. I love you." Seto says.
Joey stands there quietly. The blonde is too shock to say anything. Seto laughs, "you really look like a puppy with your mouth opens like that."
Seto kisses Joey's forehead and says, "you scared the hell out of me tonight. My heart almost jumps out of my chest when I see your bike crushing to the light post."
"Kaiba? Hmm…I love you too. I was jealous when you told me you found someone special." Joey says. Seto smiles and holds Joey in his arms.
"Let's go home, puppy."
