Chapter Thirteen

When Joey finally got to go home, he went to live at the Manor and after he had been there for a little over a month, he asked Seto a question that threw him, "Joey wanted to know who found him?"

Seto then told Joey the truth and he sat there for a moment and then he said "please ask all of them to come over, I have to thank them." Seto called Ishizu who was so glad that Joey was doing better and when Seto asked her "please ask everyone who helped in bringing Joey home to come over to the Manor, Joey wants to talk to them."

Ishizu talked to all of them and they agreed to go and see Joey, but one thing kind of bothered Yami, would he have to tell Joey about everything? There was a knock on the door and when Mokie opened it he smiled and gave everyone a big hug. "There in the den." Mokie told them.

The door opened and there stood Ishizu, Odeon, Shadi, Marik, Bakura and Yami. Joey stood up and approached them and when he looked Yami in the eye, Joey started shaking and then he collapsed in Yami's arms and said "please forgive me whatever I might have done. I didn't know what the hell I was doing." Yami picked Joey up and carried him to the couch and sat him down and sat beside him and then Yami said "listen to me, you didn't do a damn thing. Before you or that other young man could do a thing you both were put under a binding spell and that put both of you to sleep while Bakura and the rest of us went after Diablo."

Joey then looked at Bakura who bowed his head and then Joey said "if it weren't for all of you I would be dead by now. I have to say that I love all of you and thanks from the bottom of my heart." Bakura walked over and knelt down beside Joey and he said "we did what we'd do for any of our friends. And we are so grateful that you are getting better." That's when Seto stood up and said "in three weeks from today, the other young men have agreed to come and talk to Joey and I want all of you to be here too." Marik then said "we'll be here, you can count on us."

Joey then said to Bakura "do you believe if a person has faith that he can over come any obstacle that stands in his way?" Bakura then said "that is exactly what I believe, but where you believe in God well we believe in Ra and as far as we are all concerned he is the same thing. Just keep you faith and there isn't anything that you can't accomplish." Then Joey gave Bakura a hug and he went around the room and hugged everyone and he even gave Ishizu a kiss. Marik then spoke up and said "why is she so lucky to get a kiss and we don't?" Then to everyone's amazement, Joey went around and kissed each of them. Then the room exploded into laughter and that's when Joey said "it feels good to be able to laugh again.

As he began to settle into living here, Joey wanted to do more things and soon he was strong enough to go for walks with Seto. They began to get closer, but still Joey was a little standoffish and Seto understood and he never pushed him. Seto then told him, "when you're ready for something else all you have to do it tell me and until then, lets get to know each other and just hold hands or we can put our arms around each other."

In the morning the other young men were going to be arriving and they called it an early night. Joey shared a bed with Seto because he was still afraid to be alone. As he laid in Seto's arms he began to feel safe and he closed his eyes and went to sleep. The next morning, Mary came to tell them that breakfast was ready and when Roland let her into the room, they both smiled at what they saw. Laying in bed, Joey's head was the foot of the bed and Seto was hanging onto the side of the bed to keep from falling off. Mary went over and said "Joey, time to wake up now." Joey opened his eyes and there stood him mom and Roland and they were both smiling about something. When he sat up he started laughing and touched Seto's arm and he jumped and fell out of bed with a thud. Getting up Seto saw that they and company and well lets say that he was kind of erect and that embarrassed him and he walked to the bathroom very carefully to take care of his problem. Mary then said "don't be late or no breakfast and she and Roland left. Joey knew what Seto's problem was because he was having the same problem because he thought about Seto. Well now both young men had a problem and they both took care of it and went downstairs to breakfast.

Three hours later the limo pulled up out front and the five young men got out and couldn't believe that they were going to be staying in such a beautiful place. Seto opened the door and welcomed them to his home and as they went inside he asked them to follow him to the den and as he opened the door, there stood Joey and when the young men's eyes met there were tears and hugs. They were all crying for what hell they all had to go through and then they cried for the two young men who didn't make it. Kenneth Nelson and Thomas Rutledge were there too in case any of them might need to talk about things that they really don't understand. Seto and Mary stood at the back of the room and they wiped tears from their faces as they watched the young men talk and cry. "You are doing a great thing letting this happen here in your home." Mary told Seto, then she gave him a big kiss and hugged him.
