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…

Summary – Kaiba finds out the next two things that Joey thinks are good about him.

Seto Kaiba's POV

OK, so admittedly, I was thankful for what Joey was doing. It killed me to no extreme to confess that, but it's the way it was working it seemed. Joey and I would not utter a civil word to one another, and any effect the other had on one was to be discussed privately, like our agreement presently. It was mutual, or so I had hoped until recently, I mean, what did he mean? He loved me? He couldn't. Not because of gender, I'm no stranger to my sexuality, it's just no one ever admitted to loving me before. Seto Kaiba had meaningless flings, it pleased his image, he didn't have people falling in love with him!

But there was no time to contemplate my current dilemma, it was lunchtime and I would sit alone, work and maybe eat. Alone. And that didn't bother me one bit. Not. At. All. Well…not until I reached my tree, yes my tree, and saw the sight. At first it was hideous, and then it was beautiful and touching, well to others maybe but not me. Sloppily scratched into the tree with a worn down penknife were the words:

Seto Kaiba is intelligent.

It was another good thing and it was beautiful. I knew I would question it, but I was happy enough for the moment. But why was my intelligence a good thing? Everyone knew I was intelligent, I knew I was, it wasn't secret information, it didn't have the same 'wow!' factor as the 'talented' notes, it was just a fact. But then Wheeler was always one to state the fucking obvious. I was angry now. He had defaced my tree just to state a fact? What was he playing at? I didn't know, so I pushed it away from my mind, opened my laptop and tried to work without this nagging at me.

But five minutes later and a whole three sentences later on the report I was reading, it was still there. Maybe I wasn't supposed to see it as a fact, maybe it was a good thing, maybe he meant intelligent more than intellectual. I mean, being intelligent I should have thought of this sooner! I always knew how to outsmart the idiot, I could get myself out of any situation that didn't include supernatural issues, that was Yugi's department. I ran a company, which required more than just intellect. I cared for Mokuba and could read people like books. I guess I was intelligent, and I guess it was a good thing.

I'd be lying if I claimed that I wasn't astonished by this. It would appear Wheeler's plan was working, with each little message he was forcing me to think, making me reflect on myself and accept the good things. However, I wasn't just ready to accept that yet, I'd have to wait for the next five to fully understand, I don't know why I thought that but I did. It was what made sense.

It was then that the bell rang to signal the end of lunch. I cursed to myself and at Joey mentally, my lunch hour was wasted. I had planned to get so much work done, sort out my finances and set up meetings with bank managers. This week was the week that I had set aside purely for finance to save my company from going into recession. The last thing I needed served up with Wheeler's games was an economical crisis. The company wasn't struggling, in fact it was better than ever, but I had learned that chances were not to be taken so for one week every three months I devoted myself wholly to finances. I had made the mistake in keeping the Big Five in employment and they screwed with my company. I vowed that that would be the first and last time Kaiba Corporation found itself in recession. It had taken me years to get it back to the standard it was today but I still needed it in check, if not only to settle my paranoia, something I had never been able to conquer. This was where it hurt the most, that something I had spent so long building from nothing, I was willing to protect at no cost, hence my employees getting a hard time and why getting a job was nearly impossible. I never got a good reception from the public and I never expected to, but there were so many reasons, not excuses, but reasons why I had turned into who I am today, aside from the politics of business, there were more personal issues that had changed me, such as Wheeler and Yugi. They push me to my extreme, Yugi bettering me in Duel Monsters and Wheeler not exactly bettering me, but rivalling me in day to day life, on a mutual level.

But it all came down to the fact that no matter how many 'reasons' there were for my behaviour, I would never change and no one would ever know why, hence my astonishment as I walked into English, took my seat as usual and as I glanced at the board my eyes widened in amazement. Maybe Wheeler knew me better than I thought, maybe I wasn't so opaque.

For bordering the chalkboard, repeatedly, was the phrase:

Seto Kaiba is a mystery.

Damn, the kid worked fast. It was an almost too perfect situation, and just to top it off, there was Wheeler next to me, grinning like a bloody Cheshire cat. I knew that on my exterior I was looking pissed off to no extent, but inside I was grinning just as he was, I was immensely happy, something I had never felt before, or at least not something I could recall feeling so clearly. I didn't like the effect Wheeler was having on me though, I mean, this was supposed to fix everything I was feeling, it was my idea for him to do this after all so why wasn't it working? It seemed that the feelings has grown, expanded and were playing away at me even more than before when it was just a subtle whisper.

I didn't know what was going on, or what Wheeler was playing at with his methods, but I was content, even if my mind was trying to contradict the emotion.

But I would find out what was going on. Just straight after I found out the other good things.

A/N: Oh my…this is really, really late and it isn't even that good! I'm v.sorry for not updating sooner, I really wish I had, but there have been personal issues to deal with and I haven't found the time. Also if I'm completely honest with everything going on I've had a total lack of inspiration, hence why this chapter is a tad crappy! But everything shall be back to normal soon! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed since, cheered me up a lot! And I'm all better to all who said to feel better soon, thanks:D Next chapter up in the next few days. L. xx
