Teian no Kokoro: Chapter Five: Realization

'I had that dream again. You know, the one where I'm belted to the bed and making out with some strange guy I don't know? Yeah, THAT one. The same stuff happened, but with two differences. I could hear a storm going on outside, the thunder booming and rain hitting the roof and window. And it went further.

'After I licked my own cum off his hand, we started frenching again. He ran his fingertips all over me, sending chills down my spine. I... I didn't want him to stop... But, he did. He sat up, straddling me, before opening my legs. And I let him. It was then that lightning struck, the light coming in from a crack in the curtains. The brief light allowed me to glimpse at who I was about to have sex with. A glimpse was all I needed.

'It... It was him... Seto. Kaiba.'

One Week Later

Seto Kaiba heard the door open. He didn't even bother looking up from the glowing computer screen, typing stedily fast, actually faster than usual. "What is it?"

Mokuba walked up to the desk and wathed the words and figures appear on the screen. "You've been here since six this morning, Seto, and it's Sunday. You normally take Sundays off. What's the problem?"

Kaiba still didn't look away from his ministrations. "I've barely gotten anythig done, what with school and hanging out with Jo-... Mutt. I'm trying to get as much done as I can because I have somewhere to be today."

"Joey?" Mokuba guessed.

He nodded once. "I haven't really been with him the past two days, so I promised that we'd go somewhere today." He glimpsed at his younger brother. "And you know how I am with promises."

Mokuba nodded, looking at his brother. "Joey's really your friend now, isn't he?" He watched Kaiba's hesitant nod. "Oh, don't deny it. But anyway, I came because I wanted to ask you something..."

"The carnival?" Kaiba finished. "I'll take you tomorrow." He tore his eyes away from the keyboard to look into Mokuba's. "I promise."

His face lit up. "Sweet! Thanks, Seto!" He bowed his haed. "I'll let you work now so that you can have fun with Joey. Have fun!" With that, he ran out of the room.

Kaiba went back to typing, this time more slowly. '... I think he was hinting at something there... Must be my imagination.' He glimpsed at the clock in the lower right hand corner of the screen. 'Ten o' five. Not bad. I told Joey between eleven and twelve.' He clicked the save button and exited the program. He then opened a drawer in his desk and took out a notebook and a few loose papers. Taking the pen that was already on his desk and uncapping it, he opened the book to a page.

'...Kamisama, I don't want to do this...' He took a small pack out of the papers and put it in front of him. 'Let's see, I'll probably come home around midnight again, the carnival opens at noon tomorrow...' He sighed inwardly, seeing the list of things that he had yet to do. 'Tomorrow's going to be tiring, especially on a lack of sleep...' He began to work on the paper.

Fifteen minutes later, a woman began to talk on his desk intercom, snapping him from his train of thought. "Sir, you have a call on line one."

Kaiba set his pen down and pressed the now blinking number on his phone. "Kaiba here," he said, once picking the receiver up and putting it to his ear.

"Hey, Kaiba," said the voice of Joey on the other end, "Workin' hard?"

"Oh yes," said Kaiba sarcastically. "No, not really. I was just about to finish." He picked up the pen and signed the last page.

"How long have you been there?"

"Since six," he answered, starting to shove things back into the drawer.

"SIX!" Joey yelled. "Geez... and I thought nine was too early... Anyway, I called to see if you wanted to meet up earlier than planned coz I'm bored. That okay with you?"

"Yeah." He started to shut down the computer. "And what do you mean, 'Nine's early'? Just what time do you get up on weekends?"

"I just got up ten minutes ago."

Kaiba resisted the urge to slap his forehead. "Great. Mutt, Pig, Neanderthal, and now Snorlax. Anything else to add?"

"I'm NOT one of those Pokieman things!"

"Whatever. I'll see you later."

"'Kay."

Kaiba hung up the phone. 'Just why and how did he become my 'friend'...? Well... I can't replace him,though.' Smiling, he got up and headed towards the elevator.

"I... love... Bob," Joey giggled as he wrote it on a slide with a permanent marker.

Kaiba chuckled as his friend pranced about merrily. "There're no 'Bob's in our school, Joey," he pointed out.

Joey shrugged. "There is now!" He went over to a yellow ladder. "Now what shall I put here...?"

Both teens were at an elementary school playground that was right next to Domino High. Joey had brought a permanent marker with causing mischief in mind. As the blond put ridiculous things everywhere, Kaiba chose to sit on a swing and watch.

"Jimmy... fucked... George!" Joey said, laughing as he wrote the last word.

The Ice King cocked an eyebrow. "Don't tell me they're both of the same gender..."

Joey grinned. "Okay, I won't."

Kaiba got up and took the marker from the delinquent, a smirk on his face. "I have an idea..." He went over to the tunnel slide and began to write on it with his petite handwriting. "Mutt... fucked... Spikey..."

"KAIBA!" Joey yelled, snatching the marker back. Kaiba doubled over with laughter. "Not funny..." he pouted.

The brunette composed himself. "Fine. Put whatever you like about me. I don't care, we'll call it even."

Joey grinned evilly. "Okay..." He turned around and started doing something on the slide. Kaiba tried to peer over his shoulder, but he immediately covered it up before he could see it. "Ah-ah! No peeking!"

A minute later, Joey stood back, revealing what he had done. On the right to what Kaiba had put was a picture. He instantly recognized it to be his very own Blues Eyes White Dragon. Below it in Joey's scribble was 'I'm With Stupid'.

Kaiba nodded. "Clever... But mine was better." Joey beamed at the small comment.

Both teens felt the tiny pelts of water. They looked up, and confirmed it to be rain form the darkening grey skies and the quick moving clouds. "Well, hell..." said Joey, still looking upwards, "What now?"

"C'mon," said Kaiba, beginning to walk away. "They normally keep a door unlocked in our school. We can stay there for a while."

Joey floowed him to Domino High as it started to rain harder. The first one they tried was on the side of the school, and they found it to be unlocked. They both proceeded inside.

"I wonder if that stuff'll wash off..." said Joey as they walked down the empty hallway.

"I doubt it."

They went into an open classroom, which held many empty desks. The wall in front of them was primarily windows, which showed them the thuderstorm they were stuck in. The teacher's desk held a few stray papers and a jar of pencils, but was relatively empty. This was the class that both of them shared at the end of each day.

Joey sat on a desk right next to the window, head turning to look out it. "Looks like we'll be here a while."

Kaiba sat at the desk in front of Joey's, turned around to face him. "As soon as it lets up a little, we can leave. If it doesn't, I can easily call a limo to pick us up."

Joey's eyes glazed over as he continued to stare out the window. "All right, whatever."

'He sounds so distant all of a sudden...' Kaiba thought.

"Is something wrong?"

The blond shook his head, looking to his friend. "Nah. Just thinking. Why?"

"It's nothing."

'What was that look in his eyes...?'

"Are you sure, Joey?" asked Kaiba. Joey nodded silently, going back to watching the rain.

'Wait a minute... Since when have I called him by his name? I never realized that I started...' He watched the teen put an elbow on his knee, propping his head on his palm. 'It feels like I want to tell him something... But what?' Joey's eyes closed, and he felt his heart throb in his throat. 'Wha'? What's going on...? What the hell is this...?' He continued to stare at Joey, and he softly smiled. 'He looks so peaceful... And he's cute, too.'

Kaiba's eyes widened as they went to look at the floor. 'Where the hell did THAT come from!'

"Hey Seto..." said Joey, snapping him from his thoughts.

'He's never called me that...' "What?"

Joey's chocolate colored eyes opened again to watch the rain. "Have you ever felt... something, deep inside, but you couldn't figure out what it was?"

'Where's this coming from?' "I dunno..."

"Hm. Just wondering."

Kaiba stared at him. '...What's going on here! What the hell? When did I stop loathing him, calling him Mutt, jeering at him where ever I went? When did I change! I never realized it...' His eyes traced over the teen in front of him. 'Kamisama, I...'

He inwardly sighed. 'No way... It couldn't be what I'm thinking...'

Welp, I must be going now. And now, a quote from Gravitation's Shuichi Shindou (Manga 8): " No matter how much you think you're in love and that you'll be together forever and you feel like you'd die for that person... the truth is that everyone ends up ALONE! There's no such thing as a happy ending! Give all your love. Every ounce! Every breath! You can love him so much that you think of nothing else... But it will all be for nothing! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! It all falls apart and you end up dying by yourself for no one at all! Do you still think you can go through life with a laugh in your voice and a smile on your lips!" ... T-T It so flippin true...! Well, in my mind, it is... NEway, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review! I'll pay another million to those who do!
