/ Chapter 6:
Persistent Brunettes /
"Jounouchi, wake up. Time for school..." Seto prodded the sleeping blonde in the side, holding over his free arm a set of clothes, the traditional school outfit. Grumbling incoherently under his breath, Joey just groaned out loud at being poked and just moved slightly on the bed. Seto frowned and poked the blonde once again earning the same exact reaction from before. Growling quietly, Seto promptly put down the outfit and on a random count of numbers in his head, jumped onto the bed and pounced on the sleeping boy.
Yelping in utter surprise, Joey flailed promptly at the assault, only to stop once again after seeing who it was. Grumbling something incoherently under his breath, Joey looked up at Seto. Taking a deep breath, Joey immediately grabbed Seto's arm, clinging like a child to his arm.
"I though you were some'ne else." Joey mumbled quietly under his breath. Frowning, Seto tousled the golden hair with his hands lovingly. Kissing the blondes forehead briefly, Seto leaned over the bed and picked up the set of clothes. With a mysterious glint, Seto put the clothing before Joey and immediately got off the bed, eyeing Joey light heartedly.
Joey blinked, obviously confused and coked his head to the side, picking up the neatly folded clothes in his hands. Withou warning, the rather unusually happy Seto walked out of the room, giving a brief wave before leaving all together.
Blinking blankly, Joey cocked his head to the side once more, utterly confused by Seto's happy attitude all of the sudden. Shaking his head, Joey promptly dismissed Seto's previous actions and quietly got out of the bed, slipping out of the comfortable set of clothes Seto had lent him. Looking at the school outfit Joey couldn't help but give a quiet whine.
"All that damned homework is there and I gotta go make up all dat stuff too." Frowning, Joey slipped into the school outfit that was actually the exact size...for him... Seto must have got it for him! For his clothes were much bigger than him due to the fact Seto was taller. Shaking his head, Joey walked out of the room, with socks on...but no shoes.
"'ey, Seto! Where'd ya put my shoes?" Joey whined loudly as walked about the house. Grunting quietly as he searched the lower level of the mansion, a small boy creeped up on the unsuspecting blonde. With quiet moves, Mokuba giggled and without warning tackled the older boy from behind playfully. Yelping, Joey fell forwards, landing flat on his face, cussing vividly under his breath.
"Here you go Joey. Seto told me to give these to you." Mokuba grinned widely as he leaned into Joey's shoulder, laying the pair of shoes before the blonde's head. Getting off Joey, Mokuba quickly took hold of his hand and immediately helped pull him off the ground. Frowning slightly, Joey rubbed his face before eyeing the shoes. Looking around, he quickly slipped into the shoes, not bothering to untie the laces and so forth.
"Seto also said to go meet him downstairs in the living room so that you two could go to school." Smiling widely, Mokuba handed the dumfounded boy his backpack, that which he had also with him. Musing with Mokuba's raven locks, he quickly slung the backpack over his shoulder, walking down the length of the hall offering Mokuba a quiet "Thank you." for delivering his stuff to him.
After what seemed like eyons, Joey finally managed to find himself in the living room taking note quickly that Seto sat quietly on the couch with a book in hand. Written all in Kanji, from what Joey could see, he barely made out any of the words. Snickering, Joey silently tiptoed behind the CEO, his arms raised in an attempt to pounce immediately on the CEO but before he could do anything Seto had moved from where he sat and turned around, facing Joey.
"Took you long enough mutt." With a casual smile, Seto walked on the other side of the couch, stepping up beside Joey. Grabbing hold of his jacket, he gestured for him to follow before stopping immediately the typical stern face now plastered on facial features.
"What happened here this week is not to leave this place, understand?" With a rather serious tone, Joey was taken aback by the quick swing of moods. Looking slightly saddened Joey nodded reluctantly, whining quietly as Seto hugged him tightly. Letting go, Seto quickly pulled Joey along, leading him outside to the limo that awaited out front. Grunting angrily between his teeth, Joey made sure to keep his temper in check, it wasn't his fault Seto didn't see how he felt...well, he saw it but like usual thought it best to be kept quiet.
"If dis keeps up, I'll probably be fightin' with 'im in the halls like usual." Joey muttered quietly under his breath as he slid into the limo with Seto. The tension in the limo was unusually irking...maybe Seto was mad at him for something? No that couldn't be it...Shaking his head, Joey stole a quick glance to his secret idol, admiring the perfect features in him...Seto was perfect and everything Joey wanted...minus the fact he could be an asshole part. Snickering quietly, Joey realized that the limo had pulled up behind the school instead of infront...That immediately killed his mood.
Narrowing his brown irises, he growled and opened the door without a second thought and slid out, slamming the door behind him abruptly. Stomping up the steps behind the school, Joey dared not to steal a glance behind him...Seto would make his facial features falter immediately...because whenever he looked at the one who he so secretly admired, he could not help but feel slightly giddy..Damn.
"Jounouchi!!! Buddy! Where have you been!?" A quick slap on Joey's back sent him stumbling forwards, knowing that the person behind him could be no other than; Tristan. Turning around, Joey quickly turned to his formal self, swiftly punching Tristan in the shoulder playfully as he began laughing.
"I was out sick." Joey grinned, seeing Tristan wince slightly as he hit him. Stepping forward, Tristan promptly grabbed Joey by the neck and in seconds held the blonde in a headlock. Rubbing his knuckles into the silky smooth blonde hair, Tristan burst into laughter as Joey began complaining loudly at the playful act.
"'ey!! Get off the hair! It took me 10 minutes to get it like that!" Joey laughed, grabbing Tristan's wrist and with a few twists with his hands, managed to slip from the headlock. Hooking his right arm around Tristan's throat and using his other hand to hold both of Tristan's hands, he couldn't help but laugh at his friend's predicament. Snickering, Joey pulled tighter on Tristan's wrists, earning a faint laugh yelp from the brunette.
"HEY HEY!! If you don't let go of me...I'll be forced to...forced to kiss you!!!" Tristan said threateningly but in a very obvious sarcastic tone. Grinning, Joey made a "Nyah" noise and continued to hold the brunette in his place.
"Yeah right, you try it. I dare ya!" Joey snorted but before long, the brunette gave an abrupt jerk of his arms, completely shocking the blonde. Blinking blankly Joey was still trying to comprehend what had happened. Shaking his head, it was already to late. Tristan turned around and immediately grabbed him by the shoulder's pushing him back against the wall, pinning him in place. Yelping out in surprise, Joey gave a few attempts at a struggle but Tristan proved to be the stronger one.
"You dared me." Smirking, Tristan leaned in and immediately Joey froze. Feeling the brunette's warm lips against his own, Joey wasn't exactly sure what to do. Muffling something into the kiss, his eyes immediately widened...There he stood, Seto, his mouth agap and his eyes wide with sadness and the painful feeling of betrayal. Narrowing his eyes, Seto turned, glaring one final time over his shoulder at Joey.
"Se-," Joey attempted to say, immediately pulling his head back to break the kiss with Tristan. "SETO! Wa-wait!" Joey violently attempted to break himself free of the brunette, but it was a failed attempt.
"Ge-get off me!" Whimpering quietly, Joey continued to struggle and before long, did manage to break free of the brunette. Ducking down low, he quickly dashed away from the brunette after the CEO...
Baffled at Joey's abrupt actions, Tristan frowned, pressing his fingers to his lips. Even more so, why was Joey so worried about Seto? Of course he had taken notice of the duelist but he didn't care...but Joey did seem to care...something had gone on between the two. Immediately Tristan curled his fist, glaring at the spot in which Seto once stood.
"What did you do to my Joey, Seto?" Taking a few steps forward, he growled quietly, looking around in hopes to come up with a good conclusion as to why Joey was so interested in Seto but he got nothing.
"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 growled, licking his lips at the brief memory that loomed into his head. He had thought Joey...Joey actually had liked him...that he did care but he was wrong. No one would ever love someone as cold as he was no matter how much money he had. Spending those days with Joey though...he began to think perhaps he was different, that he actually saw him as a being as someone like everyone else...but he was wrong.
"I can't believe it. That mutt...after all I went through..." Seto bawled his fists, his knuckles immediately turning white and his face contorting to anger. Taking a deep breath, Seto eased himself to a calm state, uncurling his fists and leaving a weary expression of sadness and despair on his face. Why did he have to have feelings for the mutt? Of all people...
"Joey..." Seto winced, he even hurt just thinking of the mutt and what he had seen. Striding quickly down the halls the bell rang to his liking...today he had no classes with Joey, that was good.Turning down the left hand hallway, a voice behind him caught his ear; Joey?
"Se-Seto! Wait! Please! Let m-let me explain myself!" Catching up to Seto, Joey slowed down more or less feeling the anger emitting from the CEO. "It's not what you think..." Joey said quietly, pleading to Seto as he stepped forward once, the hard cold glare not stopping him.
"Your right, it's not. I was a fool, and you alone are one Joey Wheeler. I thought you would have been different but it appears I am highly mistaken." Seto snarled angrily as Joey stepped forwards. "Don't come near me outside of school, ever." With that, Seto turned on his heels abruptly and walked off, leaving Joey stunned. Tears swelled in his eyes, but he did nothing more than shake his head slowly and sink to his knees, letting the tears paint glistening trails along his cheeks.
