Chapter 4:

Love, it's unconditional,

Time, it's something to cherish.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



It was a endless moment, drenched with sweet, hands gently holding the sides of the one before hims face. Honey brown orbs sparkled with the radiance of freshly cut diamond. A smile had effortlessly made it's way onto the blonde's lips as he looked over the one before him. Basically his alter ego. Eyes a magnificent ice blue that he didn't mind drowning in, losing himself in waking thought. Soft chestnut brown hair that felt like silk when he ran his hands through his hair. His hands pulled in his face and gently he kissed him, he had kissed Seto. Did he want to? Yes, he so very much did.

The feel sent aching shivers down his back, he would have responded had the shock not taken over his body. His fingers twitched lightly as Joey continued to press his lips gently against his own. What was he to do? Here he was, being kissed, by the hypnotizing Joey Wheeler and he could do nothing. Or maybe there was a reason he couldn't do anything.

Seto realized that finally the mutt had pulled away, tears covering his flushed cheeks. He was looking for something, something in Seto's eyes. ANYTHING! What was he looking for? Pity? He had given Joey enough. What was the blonde looking for? Was it hate in his eyes? Or was it a sincere look that told him it was alright to kiss him? Was it a need for some sort of reaction? He shivered.

It was odd. Knowing Joey was staring at him wasn't what was odd, but the fact was, he felt that Joey's eyes almost burned inside him, looking into his soul. It was a scary thing to think of, it was like eyes searching him over and over, trying to find something, and if found would leave satisfied. What more could the mutt want? Wait-shit.

~~~~~~

Seto's eyes fluttered open and he looked around immediately. Beads of sweat were making their way down his forehead and along the sides of his face. Seto cussed, and he cussed loudly, and angrily, very angrily.

"Why the hell did I just have a dream about Wheeler!?"He hissed quietly as he got out of his bed. Quietly he exited his room and tiptoed across the hall, then slipped down the hall a few doors before he was infront of Joey's door. Silently he opened the door and looked in, Joey was asleep on the bed, sleeping much like a baby.

Seto smiled slightly and walked into the room, closing the door behind him, he was making a lot of visits to the blonde at night now. He didn't know why, but he still felt the need to protect the blonde. Or maybe he, maybe that knot in his stomach that appeared whenever he saw Joey forced him to check on the mutt.

Reluctantly he sat on the edge of the bed, cupping his chin, glancing arouns the room. He was searching now, his eyes were searching, was it for something? His shoulders slumped and he sighed heavily, interlocking his fingers and putting his hands on his knee.

Silence was such a lovely thing. It let him think. He needed to think, and a lot. He mused over the past events, this was Joey's 4th day here, and sadly, ever since Kaiba found Joey out he remained in an unconscious state. He stirred occasionally, murmured something quietly, but his eyes didn't open.

Seto turned slightly to stair at the blonde. Lightly he placed his hand on his forehead. Joey's breath stopped momentarily, before he began breathing evenly once again. His forehead was cool, but still slightly warm, he was obviously getting better with this rest.

Joey grunted in his sleep and Seto quickly felt some relief lift. The blondes eye lids fluttered open slowly. 'Heh heh, atleast now I had a reason to be by his side.'

"Glad to you've come back to reality, mutt. Seems your hibernation has brought your fever down."Seto said sarcastically. Joey looked over at Seto, glared and tossed the sheets over his head, turning away from the stubborn CEO. Seto starred, befuddled as to why Joey had down that, HE HAD BEEN nice to the mutt this whole time. Technically he had too, but really, he did it more without thought.

Really, Joey wasn't a bad kid, really, he was just a lost little puppy. A cute puppy at that, Seto thought as he rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands. Silently he grabbed the sheets, gave a soft tug, hearing the mutt hiss warningly. He smirked slyly and gave another tug, Joey hissed again.Obviously, he was enjoying himself, annoying the mutt was fun. He tugged again and without warning was tackled by a maddened mutt.



Joey hissed, grabbed both of Seto's wrists with his hands and pinned his hands above his head. He pressed his shins down on Seto's knee caps, basically keeping him in a pin that was a lot harder to get out than you would think. Seto fidgeted slightly before just laying on the ground rolling his eyes at Joey.

"My Gawd. You even get pms-y like a girl. Hmm, atleast, because of that motion, I know your better. Ehh, don't you dare go thinking though that I was worried about you!"Seto immediately added the ending sentence, seeing the look that glistened in the honey brown orbs. He closed his eyes and laid his cheek against the floor.

"Why were you in here?"Joey asked quietly, glaring down at the CEO. Seto looked up, thought about the answer and gave a tiny smile.

"I was waiting for you to get better. I need my guests room back anyway, this is where I spend a majority of my time. Oh and as far as I am concerned, this IS my house too, so I have every right to be in here."

"Yeah, but what if I was awake, and err..unclothed? Hmm? What then?" Joey retorted.

"I'd have to leave as to not burden my eyes with the horrible sight of seeing Joey Wheeler naked."Seto teased.

"Oh, that's mean, very.."

"I know, that's pretty much why I said it mutt."



"DAMMIT WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME MUTT! My name is JOEY!! J-O-E-Y!"

"I'm pretty much aware of what your name is and how to spell it Wheeler. I do not need to be reminded, unlike you who has no right to bark back at the Master of this house!"



"Fine, then I'll bark outside!" Joey hissed back and let go of Seto. He stood up, backed away and turned away. Seto, angered, jumped to his feet, grabbed Joey and whirled him around, immediately pressing him against the wall.

"1.Despite the fact I dislike having you in this house, You will stay. Your health is getting better and I don't want to find that when I let Wheeler out he got raped then killed because he was to weak to defend himself. 2. Since you WILL and SHALL remain under this roof, I demand some respect. 3. Let's atleast TRY to get onto an even scale here and not fight. Just ignore the conflict we have, please. That would it would make it easier on the both of us!"

" HMM?! Why should I?! Your not my mother! I haven't had a mother ever since I was 6, and I'm pretty damn sure I DON'T need one now!"



"Dammit Joey stop being so stubborn!"

"BAH! I'm allowed too! No one owns me!"Joey snapped back but he was a little bit surprised Seto had used his actual name for once. To bad he was yelling at Joey.



"That's it! I've had enough Wheeler!" Seto immediately did the unthinkable. 'Aww fuck!' Seto thought as soon as he had connected his lips with the now befuddled and wide eyed mutt's. It was only a moment long yet it seemed like an endless eternity between the two. Seto breathed lightly then pressed his forehead to Joey's.

Joey fidgeted, he, no, he, he didn't like men, he didn't, he didn't. Ok so MAYBE he thought once or twice about being with Tristan. Ok three times but that didn't prove anything. Yet, here he was with a stubborn CEO that had stolen his first kiss and sadly he realized it.



Admitting the truth was a pain in the arse to do. But, despite all the things that had happened, Joey knew, he knew that Seto was capturing his heart. He was taking something slyly away from him and he had noticed it but was hopeless. How much he hated this now. He tried his hardest, his hardest to hate Seto, to hate him for everything he was worth. But he couldn't.



Now, now it was true, his heart belonged to Seto Kaiba. He had to hate Seto though, he had too! Joey was fighting himself internally, trying his best to win but he failed in the end and closed his eyes in defeat.

Seto on the other hand was feeling similar, although, a variety of his thoughts were probably nasty comments and cusses towards himself. He was annoyed at what he had done but was still awaiting any reaction from the mutt. That's when he noticed Joey had closed his eyes slowly, it seemed water was building up in his eyes, for a tear slid down Joey's cheek.



"Joey..."Seto spook quietly, almost feeling that his voice had been disabled. Joey opened his eyes slightly, looking at the CEO through half closed eyes. His vision had blurred due to the tears that filled his eyes. Seto reached up and cleared away the tears that had fled from Joey's eyes. What had happened? How did this happen? Why was Joey crying? Had he done something so wrong it had made him cry? Or-



"Jo-" Seto was cut off. Joey had quickly brought his hands to the side of his face, pressing his lips to his. It was a short kiss, and Seto, immediately went wide eyed. This had happened just like it had in his dream, it was like experiencing the dream at first hand though. 'Deja Vu.' Joey pulled away slowly, Seto still gawking slightly, tears burned at Joey's eyes and Seto's heart seemed to stop just for that second.

Joey let go of Seto's face and walked over to the bed quietly. He pulled the covers back and slipped underneath the warm wool and cotton sheets, leaving Seto alone in his state of deja vu. Joey looked somberly at Seto over his shoulder before sleeping with his back towards Seto. He buried his face into the fluffed pillow and with a slight wave of his hand meant for Seto to leave.

Seto, whom was brought back from reality, turned towards the door and grabbed hold of the cold brass knob. He gave a tug and turned the brass knob towards the right, and gave another tug, letting the door creak open. His gaze traveled over to the back of the one whom had just kissed him, yet he was still facing away from him. Why? He shook his head in disbelief then exited the guest's room, traveling back down the hall to his own room. Did something get Joey upset? Very upset?
