Kaiba sat nervously on the end of the bed.

'Why do you want to know?' he kept his gaze away from the blond. He didn't want him to know.

'Well, you know about me, so it's only fair, really'

'I guess so. I just don't think it's important.'

'I do. I'm curious.'

'That's not always a good thing you know, curiosity can be painful.' Joey crawled over to Kaiba, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

'What are you hiding?' He glared at the boy, determined to get an answer. 'I won't leave you alone until you do.'

'Fine. But only because I have things to be doing.'

'Other than me?'

'Shut up, Mutt.' Joey raised his hands in defence.

'Fine. I went to America to open a new HQ, it took a little longer than I thought and I…got involved with some people that I maybe shouldn't have.'

'People you shouldn't have?' Joey looked confused. Seeing the expression on his face, Kaiba rubbed at his temples.

'I was fucking some guy named James most nights, but as far as the press knew I was dating some woman…Kelly or something. I don't remember.'

'Why would you do a publicity stunt like that?'

'I'm opening a family business, they want to see a family man, so I did what they wanted and paid some broad to pose. As far as they know I'm over here picking up some plans, while she's playing mummy at home. In about 2 months we'll announce she's pregnant and carry on from there.'

'Is she?'

'Yes.'

'Is it…'

'No, it's not mine. It's her husbands.'

'Isn't that a flawed man, you know, when people see her with someone else?'

'No, she's a model. She wears a wig, loads of makeup, dresses differently.'

'I see. So you're gonna be over there a lot so it looks good on the company?'

'I guess so.' Joey felt his heart sink, he really thought he had something special with Kaiba before, maybe he had been wrong.

'So, tell me about James?' the words came out icy, stinging his lips with every movement. Seto flinched.

'What do you want to know?' Joey's eyes narrowed.

'Everything.' The brunet took a deep breath,

'Well, we met when…' just then, Mokuba came bounding in. Seto took a sigh of relief. His brother was always there when he needed him. The black haired teen took one look at the naked Joey and half naked Seto and began to smile.

'Sorry, did I just ruin something?' He grinned widely. Joey was about to answer when Seto shook his head.

'Not at all. What's wrong?'

'Some guys are on the phone from America, they want to speak with you about the company and publicity.' Seto nodded, before pulling on a shirt and taking his leave. Joey flopped backwards on to the bed, a little annoyed at the teen to say the least.

'Sorry, looking forward to something?' Mokuba perched on the end of the bed.

'A little…' Joey sighed and Mokuba grinned.

'I'll be amazed if you get him into bed, he's such a prude.'

'Oh, I already did that. I wanted to know what happened in America.'

'Why?'

'I dunno, Moki, I guess I've missed him and I want to know what he's been doing.' Mokuba nodded.

'If I had the choice, I wouldn't choose to know, Joey.' Mokuba frowned slightly.

'You mean you know?' Joey stared at Mokuba, wide eyed.

'Yeah, but I won't tell you. It's not a nice story, Joey. You really don't want to know it. Take it from me.' He smiled lightly and placed his hand on the blond's shoulder.

'You're only making me more determined.'

'Joey, trust me.' Mokuba smiled and nodded to the blond as he left. Joey took a deep breath before heading to the shower. He was going to know what happened in America, he was sure of that.
