Never letting go – Chapter nine "How much do you want?"

The dim lights flickered as the heavy body collided with the wall, making the table fall over. A loud grunt was heard as he swore over what stupid idiot had placed a table in the way. He pushed himself away from the wall and began to walk with wobbly steps towards the living room.

He smiled an emotionless smile, his mouth twisting into something that looked more like a canine showing off his fangs, and ran a hand through his short, dark hair. He wobbled over to the couch and braced himself, holding on to the backrest. "Ready for another go, son?" he asked, his voice thick and slurred, but laced with malice and lust.

He walked around the couch and looked down at the floor where he had left the blonde

before he stormed off to drive to the bar. "Hey, where are you, boy?" he said, looking around the room, thinking he had left the boy somewhere else. He began to walk towards the hallway again, but stopped when he saw a tall brunette standing in the way.

"What the hell are ya doin' in ma house, you bastard?" he said, eyeing the brunette suspiciously. "get th'ell out before I kick your ass, boy!"

The brunette's gaze turned towards the man, repulsion evident in the ice blue orbs. "What the hell did you do to Joey, you sick bastard?" he hissed, his voice low and menacing.

"Joey? Pff." The man said, "He got what he had commin' and deserved!" his unsteady gaze settled onto Seto and widened. "'Ey! You're that cocksucking... boyfriend... of his!" he spat the words out as if they were dirty, soiling him as he spoke them.

Seto glared at the man. "And what if I am?" he wondered coolly.

"You're the one who's been fucking my s... " he stopped himself and walked closer to Seto, his hands balled into fists. "I'm gonna kill you for turning him into a fucking fairy! You fagot's are all going to burn in hell! Me and my buddies are going to see to that!" he shouted as he lunged himself at Seto.

"The only one who has been fucking your son is you, asshole." Seto said as he ducked and punched the man in his stomach. The man's black eyes got large as he groaned, but he only turned around and threw his fist at Seto once more. This time Seto moved his head to the side, but the man's large hand still hit him on the cheek.

Seto snarled and lifted his right leg up and kicked the man in the chest. The older man went flying and landed heavily on the ground with a shout. Seto smiled maliciously as he stared at Wheeler Senior who lay sprawled out on the floor. He brought his hand up to touch his cheek where he had been hit and winced, the man could throw quite the punch while drunk.

The man grunted and got up again and walked over to Seto again, this time his walk didn't wobble, the hit to the floor seemed to have sobered him up a bit. "You fucking little shit, do you really believe that you can beat me?" he asked, grabbing a hold of Seto's shoulder he punched him right in the solar plexus. Seto gasped and wrenched his shoulder loose from the grip.

"I don't believe, I know." Hegrowled and straightened up. He lounged for the man, aiming to hit his face. A loud crunching noise was heard as Seto's fist collided with the man's face. He smiled when he heard the man howl in pain, his nose broken.

While the man clutched his bleeding nose Seto punched him in the stomach again. Now he man fell over, lying on his back he stared up at Seto with wide eyes full of fear and hate.

"I'll leave now, but I will take Joey with me!" he stated as he turned around.

"You can't! He's mine, and I will never let him go!" the man gasped out, trying to breathe through his broken nose.

Seto stopped and seemed to think about something before he turned his head around. "How much do you want?" he asked.

"What?" Wheeler Senior asked, staring at Seto with disbelieving eyes.

"How much do you want to get out of his life forever?" he asked again, watching for the man's reaction.

The man thought for a few seconds before he answered. "Twenty million yen." He said, smirking.

Seto nodded and reached into his pocket. He scribbled down the amount on a check and signed it before he threw it onto the floor. "You are never to meet Joey again. You are moving away from this city and you are never, and I mean never to say anything of this to him! Am I making myself clear on this?" he watched as the man nodded before he turned his back to the man and walked back to Joey's room.

The blonde had began to cry in his sleep, tears streamed down his pale cheeks and he whimpered gently. Seto gently caressed Joey's cheek with a long, slender finger and sat down on the bed besides Joey. He didn't think he should wake the sleeping blonde and he decided to take him away from there as soon as he could.

He got up and took the clothes from where he had thrown them when he heard the door. He walked back to the blonde. He gently began to dress the boy, careful not to hurt him. When he was done he wrapped Joey in a blanket and gathered him into his arms.

He quickly walked out of the apartment, not bothering to look at the man in the living room, and walked out to his car. He placed the sleeping blonde in the passenger seat and got into the drivers seat. He brought Joey to lie down with his head in Seto's lap before he started the car.

"Mokuba!" Seto shouted as he walked through the door, Joey in his arms.

"Yes?" the black haired boy answered as he walked towards his brother. "Seto, what are you... Joey!" he exclaimed as he saw what Seto was holding in his arms.

"Yes, it's Joey. Can you please call a doctor, 'Kuba? He's not feeling very well." He asked Mokuba who only nodded before rushing off to call the doctor.

Seto carefully walked up the stairs and placed him in one of the guestrooms. He removed the blanket from the blonde and walked out of the room. He came back a few moments later with a pair of blue silk pajama bottoms. He stripped Joey down to his boxers and put the silky pants on. He tried not to pay any attention to the blonde's slender body, trying not to become affected of the closeness of their bodies.

Seto shook his head. He had to focus, he can't sit here and fantasize about an unconscious boy who from the looks of it just had been raped. He stood to leave when a small whimper from the boy made him stop.

"P... please, S... Seto, stay..." his voice was hoarse and low, but Seto heard him as clear as if he had shouted in his ear.

The brunette turned around and looked into Joey's pain filled eyes, he nodded and sat down. "How are you feeling, pup?" he asked as he took one of Joey's hands in his, gently rubbing his thumb over the blonde's hand.

Joey closed his eyes and sniffed. "It hurts! Everywhere! Seto... please make me feel better..." he whimpered, clutching Seto's hand.

Seto smiled sadly and squeezed Joey's hand reassuringly. "The doctor is on his way, you'll get better soon, pup, I promise."
