Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own any anime or charactersused in this story….sometimes life can be unfair….
Everybody has a curious side, but Joey's side of curiosity can reach another level.
(Sorry, I don't know his name in Japanese too well, because if I did, I would use it.)
The last time it was raining, I remembered not to leave my keys at school, Joey thought.
Looking up, he thought to himself: hey that fluffy stuff ain't rain…..
Just his luck! School, the place where Joey left his keys is closed for winter break, his dad, who had the other set of keys, went to pay Shizuka a visit, and Joey didn't want to go, and all his other friends went away too.
He sat down in front of the house.
He closed his eyes.
He dreamt of Yugi and the others.
He woke up to see….Santa Claus? Wait a minute, why is he so short?
"If you're Santa, then where are all your elves?" he asked. Santa hit him on the head with his candy cane.
"I'm Mokuba, not Santa! I'm just dressed like him." Mokuba proceeded to smile.
"No wonder he's so short….."
"Hey!"
"S-sorry…."
"Anyway we found you sleeping in front of your house. I figured you'd been there a while, since you were kinda pale, and it was getting real late. I begged Seto not to leave you there."
Joey made a face. "You had to beg…..?"
"Come on, Joey, you know Seto hates you."Mokuba remarked.
"You say it like that's a good thing…."
"Anyway, Seto finally decided to give in when I pouted, and he got Roland to lift you into the limo."
"So I'm at your house." Joey mumbled "Yay, I'm so incredibly happy."
"You don't sound happy."Mokuba remarked.
"I'm not, Mokuba."Joey replied. "I left my house keys in a place that's closed for a whole week, my dads away, and so are Yugi and the others, which leaves me no place to stay, so you might as well have left me on my doorstep."
Mokuba smiled. "You can stay here as long as you need to."
"I knew you'd say that…."
"What's wrong, Joey?"
"You try living with rich boy!"
"I do."
"You know what I mean, you said it yourself. He hates me, Mokuba. I'll never hear the end of him for a whole week. I don't care that he teases me. I just want him to shut up for a change. Every time he sees me, it's always 'you 3rd rate duelist, and 'you dirty puppy, or something close to that." Joey almost couldn't stop himself.
"By the way, what time is it anyway?" Joey yawned. It was almost four when he fell asleep, and he was hungry.
"It's almost midnight. I was setting up the tree with Roland, since Seto fell asleep on the couch. I should go finish up." Mokuba said.
"Ain't you a little young to be stayin' up so late for a Christmas tree?" Joey asked. "You even said rich boy….."
Joey trailed off as he slid open the living room door, and witnessed Seto Kaiba in a state that only Mokuba and Roland have ever seen him in.
The boy was in pajamas a shade of midnight blue, and covered in decorations ranging from pure white angels, to silver bells and from cute chibi reindeer to multi-colored candy canes.
Joey noticed that his own clothes had been changed from his snow-covered and soaked school uniform to a pair of pajamas with crescent moons on them. He was dry, too. He remembered ordering the snow to fall somewhere else before he fell asleep.
"This belongs to rich boy, doesn't it, Mokuba?" Joey asked.
"Sure does! By the way, are you sure you can't get in your house?"
"Even if I could, I need my keys in case I have to leave it."
"Good point." Mokuba said. Joey started to pull off the pajama shirt." I can't wear this….." he said, and then remembered that he had no other clothes, so he had to wear these pajamas.
"Let's get a snack, Joey."Mokuba said. "Come on."
My first fic, so flames are welome . It should help. Anyway, if you do review be sure to suggest if you like, I may need it someday.
