A/N – This is a Seto/Joey yaoi fan fiction. If you don't like, don't read. The title of the fic and ideas are from the song 'Fix You' by Coldplay, seeing as from day one of listening to it, I found it to be so inspiring and made it easy to write a story. So have a read, maybe review! Positive and negative reviews are welcome, always open to a bit of constructive criticism. But no flames because of the pairings or just because the idea of it doesn't take to your liking, thankyou.
Disclaimer – I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, any of the characters or the song 'Fix You'. Hell if I did, I'd be rich! But I don't…Nor do I own any references to Romeo and Juliet, or any similar ideas…Mr Shakespeare does…but then his copyright may have run out by now…
Reviews – Thankingyou for all the updates! I definitely wasn't expecting 7 so early on!
Iridescent Vie – Thankyou for the advice! I've been pulled up on it many times before, but once I get writing it's in one ear and out the other! But thanks for pointing it out and hopefully I can check it all carefully before I post it up:D
Summary – Seto Kaiba wants answers. But if Joey couldn't give them, maybe he should've just said.
Domino High
Seto Kaiba's POV
I swiftly made my way to the trees where I had agreed to meet Wheeler. I was beginning to regret it now, but I wouldn't back out of anything. I decided to give him five minutes, so naturally I wasn't surprised in the least to see him sprinting towards me four minutes and thirty-eight seconds later. I put it down to him excusing himself from the geek-squad.
I was intrigued by his sudden change, it was unnerving and I didn't like the way it felt. It was hardly ever that anyone would consider being civil to me. I mean, sure, my employees were great at being nice, but it was false and they were only sucking up to me anyway. No, there was definitely something up with Wheeler, something odd and I was determined to find out.
"Wheeler." I greeted him, in the civil manner he seemed to have adopted. It only seemed fair.
"Hello. What's this about, Kaiba? I'm hungry!" He answered me, almost whining like the old Joey.
"I want to know what's going on. You have been nothing but civil to me since we came back to school. And to be quite honest, I don't like it. And don't you even think about bullshitting me, Wheeler. I want answers." I frowned at him, but loosened up in shock when I swore I had seen a smirk after that. I was well and truly baffled, I had to admit.
It soon became obvious that he was stalling for time by imitating the very same smirk I often flashed at him.
"Wheeler, I don't have all day." I said, after a few minutes of silence. I wasn't being impatient at all, but I didn't like thinking about…well what I was thinking about. It wasn't me.
"Ahh I dunno, Kaiba! You've been standing here long enough waiting for my answer, which by the way I haven't thought of yet." He said, flashing a small, daring grin at me.
"I just want to know what is going on. In case you didn't notice, I am an organised and exact person and when something in my life changes without an explanation I can't let it lie. So would hurry up because, like I said, I don't have all day." I responded, calmly and slowly. I was laughing in my mind at the look on Joey's face. It was a picture. Obviously shocked at how I could do 'civil' too. Even if it made me want to rip my tongue out.
"Why do you want to know so bad? I understand all that 'life out of order' crap, but why should I bother you? You still pick on me same as always!" He asked. A good question. I had even asked myself that numerous times already today. But I, like he, had no answer.
"I can, and I will, but you aren't biting. That's not normal. Did something happen?" I asked, trying to lure him in, maybe with some compassion.
"Are you saying I'm not normal? Gee, that hurt Kaiba!" He sniggered, while clutching at his chest like a man having a heart attack.
That was it. The final straw. He had pushed me to my limit, forced me to crack and by god he would pay!
"I just want to know what's going on with you, Joey! It's not normal, it doesn't fit my routine! And you wanna know the worst thing? I don't like how it's making me feel, so why don't you damn well sort it!" I practically screamed at him. Oh, I was ashamed at making such a scene. Even more ashamed of calling him 'Joey'. But I felt sick at confessing that he was making me feel different to usual.
"Gee, Kaiba. Didn't know it got to you that bad. Are you OK?" Joey asked, giving me time to calm down. I was surprised. He hadn't snapped back, screamed at me for screaming at him. Instead he was looking at me with intrigue, wondering what was going on, and probably trying to make sense of what I had just told him. Well someone with a brain the size of his would naturally take a little longer than the normal person.
"You're useless, Joey Wheeler. Really useless. Seriously, if you couldn't grasp the fact that you had to answer a question…I clearly gave you more credit than I should have." I smirked. Satisfied that I had regained some of my usual composure, I walked away, leaving Wheeler behind. For once I couldn't predict his reaction, and that worried me slightly. But nevertheless, I would find out. Just one approach at a time.
A/N – Still a little short me thinks? Maybe longer that the others. Sorry for the delay, I've been so tied up with coursework and other problems that I've been drained of inspiration and now I've finished this one I'm raring to go on the next chapter! Again, please review – good/bad!
