Whoever Said Life was Fair?
Chapter One
A loud smashing noise could be heard echoing around a small apartment. It lasted for a couple of minutes before it stopped and blonde haired blue eyes boy stumbled (more like thrown) out the door. He had a death grip on his black backpack and for a moment he was glad to see it was raining. It covered the tears. The walk to his high school would be long, but it would give him time to calm down and fix his 'mask'.
After a while of walking the boy had to stop for a moment and wrap his bleeding hand. It had been cut while he was still inside his 'home'. He pulled a few rolls of white bandage from his backpack after he had fund a dry spot to sit. He knew there was nothing he could about his face but lie. After his hand was bandaged he raked his fingers through his messy hair hoping it would look a little neater since he didn't have a hair brush on his and stood up. The rain was coming down harder now, in huge drops that almost hurt. The blonde pulled his measly green jacket around his form tighter, trying to block out some of the cold and he walked.
Tears were still flowing down his cheeks.
Flashback
"Get up!" Was the angered yell. Instantly, the blonde was up n his feet only to be hit back down. He was picked up again as he tried to catch his breath and thrown against the wall, his breath escaping him again. "You're getting married to Maximillion Pegasus! I knew you had some sort of use, you pathetic excuse for a person! With you gone my debt is, too. I'll finally be able to leave this rotten hell! It's all your fault she left!" The usual words and insults kept coming and coming, but the blonde just couldn't wrap his head around it.
'I'm getting married? To Pegasus?' The blonde thought as he was smashed against the counter, a glass breaking underneath the pressure and succeeding in cutting his hand. He didn't feel it. His mind had gone completely numb. He had now known his freedom would be gone. He felt like he had died on the inside.
"Mut! Get up, Mutt!" He was picked up again and punched square in the jaw. "You have a week before the marriage! Then he'll be taking you far, far away. So say goodbye to all your stupid little friends!" The sentence was sneered, and that's how the blonde boy was able to tell his father was completely sober. Then he felt a back pack being shoved into his arms and thrown out of the door and down the stairs. Only a few pained gasps left his mouth as he rolled down the hard wooden stairs, but when he stopped he let himself rest for a bit.
When he caught some of his breath he got to his feet and using the wall he made his way out the apartment complex. He was happy he slept with his clothes and shoes on. The only thing he had to worry about now was making sure his hand didn't get infected. Everything else could easily be lied abut since he got into fights all the time. A cover up. A good cover up.
End Flashback
Another shudder twisted through his body, but he kept walking. He was almost to his school now. There things would be a little easier. He would be able to feel as happy as he could, even though that wasn't much. He was going to make the best out his last week of freedom. Starting today, he would block out the pain and not give any hints to his friends would have to suffer would be less when he disappeared. He wouldn't tell them even if he could. Which he couldn't'. He only wanted to see them smile one last one time before he was gone. He smiled to himself for a brief second. Yes, maybe he could get Seto to smile as well. He would love to see his long time crush to smile.
He arrived at the school with that last thought, and pulling on his most obnoxious face he could manage, he burst through the doors and into his home rooms where all his friends would be waiting and he would try with all his might to make them smile. Yes, Seto included. He was glad his homeroom teacher never shoed up though, that would mean detention for him. Being late to classes does that.
"HEY GUYZ!" He said in his Brooklyn accent. (D.S.: I'm not very good with that, so, that'll be basically it for now. Just imagine he's speaking with his Brooklyn accent, K?") His friends Yuugi Mouto, Yami, Ryou, Bakura, Tea, Malik Ishtar and Marik, along with Tristan and Duke all answered back with warm smiles, mischievous glints, and maybe a few evil glints. Then he noticed what Yuugi was doing. The small tri-colored-haired boy was having a duel with him. He was dueling the blonde's long time crush, Seto Kaiba. Even though they always fought, the blonde couldn't deny his love for the cold heartless CEO.
"Well, mutt. What have you done today to have such a hefty bruise on your mussel?" Kaiba asked, glancing at the blonde before turning back to his duel.
"I'M NOT A DOG!" He automatically exploded, it made his friends laugh. "I got in a fight. Nothing big. Don't worry, Mr. CEO. I'm fine. No need to worry about me. It makes people thing you lo~ve me," Joey smart talked right back, making his laughing friends start laughing even harder. Bakura, Malik, and Marik were on the floor holding their stomachs. Ryou, Yuugi, Duke, and Tristan were trying to quell their laughter by covering their mouths with their hands, but alas, it didn't help. Kaiba stood up, and he looked… well he looked emotionless… as usual. 'Dammit! I was sure that would get under his skin!' The blonde thought for a split second before he was pinned against a wall, one of Kaiba's hands on either side of him and his legs positioned so he had virtually no escape.
"Now wouldn't you like that, Mutt?" Kaiba hissed in his ear, and it was clear that he actually had gotten under the CEO's skin. His ego bloated for minute before falling again. Kaiba shot him his coldest glare and then let him go. For a minute the blonde was shocked, and watched with a bewildered look as the brunette left the classroom.
"Joey! He left his computer!" And the minute Duke's voice met his ear he was at the desk, sitting down and thanking any and every god there was that Kaiba hadn't even logged out! This was great. With a simple twitch of his fingers Joey was reading the brunette's email. He noticed one that was from Mokuba, the youngest Kaiba. He clicked on it and was shocked to read what the little black haired not-so-sweet eleven year old had sent his older brother.
Big Brother,
Today's your day. Just ask him out on a date already and you'll both be happy! You know I like him, too. So don't let that be an excuse. If you guys start fighting just pick him up and kiss the daylights out of him! He is really girly after all!
Love
Mokuba~
P.S. If anything gets too hot make it to a closed room before attacking him. Please, I don't want to see my older brother making out with his rival on the news when I wake up tomorrow. That would be weird.
Then Joey read the reply back, and then he fell over laughing. He fell off the chair laughing just as hard as Duke and Tristan were. The others had started to look at them before Bakura, Yami, and Marik read through the email which was left open for all to see before they were on the ground laughing, too.
"Guys? What are you laughing at so hard?" Yuugi asked before Joey sat up, whipping a tear from his eye.
"Kaiba's crushing on someone!" He said, before going into another fit of giggles. When the three Hikari's asked who, all he could say was "A guy," and the laughing renewed amongst the group besides the Hikari's who were totally confused.
"Why is that such a bad thing? The three of us are all with our Yami's. Tristan and Duke like each other but haven't come out of the closet yet,' This caused the two aforementioned teens to look at each other and then look away blushing. 'And to top it all off you've admitted to liking a guy but haven't admitted t whom. I think he's embarrassed and is still coming out of the closet," Ryou said, making it seem like something a girl would say.
"I know. But it's Seto, Ryou!" Aww shit. Dammit, he accidentally said his first name. He was screwed.
"YOU LIKE KAIBA!?" This was yelled by all his friends in his ear all at the same time. Ouch.
"Yes," It came out as a mumbled reply. Then he stood up. "It makes since though right? I'm madly in love with someone who hates my very guts. I can't win," Joey let out a laughter, but it was so well done that he couldn't even tell it was faked. He was a little startled when a white haired boy pushed the silver laptop in his hands and then pushed him out the classroom door.
For a couple seconds Joey just stared at the Laptop that was safety wrapped in his arms. Then he muttered a string of curses and started walked around, in search for the CEO. This was making him even more depressed. At this rate, he might actually end up killing himself from all the shit he had to go through. First he finds out that he's being married off t some evil guy and then he finds out that his crush was gay but undoubtedly not with him. "Dammit." He cursed again.
"Puppy don't use such fowl language," Oh, speak of the devil. Joey turned around and then noticed how close the brunette was. Too close. Joey shoved the laptop into Kaiba's arms and then he walked away, not in the mood for insults anymore. "Oi. Puppy? Did you really just bring my laptop to me, which means not stealing it and then not attack me for calling you Puppy?" Set asked incredulous.
"Not in the mood," Was all Joey had to say. He didn't notice the loud clacking noise behind him of plastic covered metal hit plastic covered floor. He didn't notice that someone was running behind him and he certainly didn't notice being by any walls. A growl escaped him though, when he did notice Kaiba was pinning him against a wall. "What, not satisfied! Was that too boring for you! You ASSHOLE!" Joey screamed. He was pissed, frustrated, and more than a little depressed.
"You're right. I'm not satisfied. But this might do the trick," And with that Kaiba's mouth was smashed against the furious blonde's and Joey's mind turned off for a couple seconds. 'I--- am I being kissed by Seto Kaiba? Am I really being kissed by my three year-long crush? Naw. When did I get the time to kill myself. I didn't think I was that suicidal. At least not for the moment.' And then his thought process shut down when he felt a certain hardness rub against his thigh. 'Shit! I'm not dead! I don't think I'm dreaming either. He just wants a quick fuck.'
Joey started struggling and Kaiba had to break his more-than-magnificent kiss and he let a small smile seep onto his face.
"Puppy, shhh. Puppy, stop struggling. Did you read it?" Kaiba asked, licking Joey's ear lobe. It only took a few second for those words to hit Joey's brain before he got the true meaning.
"YOU PLANNED IT!" Joey started struggling more. 'Why the hell am I struggling? I want this.' Then the struggling stopped.
"I did. My little brother has some great ideas. Well, might as well tell you then," He gently nibbled on Joey's earlobe, earning a soft groan.
"T-tell me what?" Joey stuttered for a moment before mentally smacking himself.
"I love you, Joey. I want the world to know you're my puppy and my puppy only. Mine," With this, Kaiba started suckling on Joey's neck, leaving a purple and red hicky in it's wake. Joey's brain stopped functioning. 'When he tells me it's too late. When I finally get something great it's already to far gone for me to grasp. I have to push him away and never come back. I can't let myself hurt anymore than it already will.' And with that thought in the blonde's mind he pushed the older boy off of him, ran a couple steps, and then turned around one last time.
"I- I love you, too, Seto," And then ran off through the halls, leaving a stunned and shocked Kaiba standing in the same place he had, and he didn't move until school let out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------D.S.: Damn. I feel bad for writing that. It made me depressed. I hope it's long enough though? It's only going to be around 2346 words long when I finish this AN. Well, tell me What'cha think please!
