Disclaimer: I don't own it, I don't wanna.... I do however own this plot. It's all mine so no touchie.
A/N: I guess you get two for the price of one today... Lucky you! I don't know I started and couldn't stop... Well let me know how it's going!
It pissed Joey off to no end when he woke up at five am and could not get back to sleep. 'It's all Seto's fault.' He thought hugging his plushie of Red Eyes. He vaguely wondered what Seto thought when he woke up at this ungodly hour in the mornings. 'I bet he gets up like it's nothing.'
Meanwhile Seto was indeed waking up and he was also holding a plushie, though it was Blue Eyes and for some reason he had a feeling he had a package coming that day. If the feeling was right it would be of the opposite dragon his current snuggle buddy. Looking at the time he somehow found himself wondering how Joey would do waking at this hour.
Joey was just getting in the shower when his phone rang from his bedroom. It was Seto's cell's ring tone so he rushed to answer it but didn't make it in time and got a voicemail. Listening to it quickly he hoped it wasn't him being yelled at it was still too early for being scolded.
"Joey don't forget we have that meeting today. We'll leave school about twenty minutes into our last class. Don't be late." There was a slight pause and Joey thought the message was over and was about to delete it when he heard the last part. "Pleasant dreams." And he almost melted at the fact Seto had thought he was still asleep and was wishing him pleasant dreams.
'Too bad I'm awake.' Joey thought as he saved the message before getting back to getting ready for school. It was around his usual time when he entered the building. The classroom for once was empty and he set about doing his homework when he heard the door open. He didn't bother to look up as he heard the greeting.
"Morning Joey." Duke smiled happy to see that Seto was not in the room. Taking his seat beside the blonde he frowned. "You seem down today are you ok?"
"I'm fine." Joey smiled sleepily. "I just don't look forward to the meeting I'll be attending after school."
"Do you want a few tips?" Duke offered.
"Sure… Maybe you have some better ones than Seto."
"Set…?" Duke gave Joey a quizzical look. "Did he give you permission to use his name?"
"Oh um yeah he did." Joey smiled happily at the memory and of Seto now calling him Joey, though he would not expect it at school and he should probably not be saying it too much at school either.
"…." Duke gave him an odd look before smiling softly. "He'll remember Joey."
Just then the door opened and in walked Seto and a tailor holding a suit. "Joey I'm glad you're here." He didn't mention the he knew he would be but he did. "I need you to try this on." He had the tailor show him the suit it was a dark green with black threading. "I think it will suit you nicely." Seto smiled as Joey stood approaching them then nodded to Duke to let him know that he knew he was there.
"I'll just go try it on." Joey smiled and lead the tailor to an empty classroom across the hall and got the suit fitted before returning. "So how do I look?" Joey asked slightly stiff in the suit as he returned to show them. "Does it suit me as you said Seto?"
"It does." Seto smirked and it did. The design was not too stuffy nor was it too tight or loose and looked like it was made just for Joey which of course it was.
"It looks good Joey." Duke piped up feeling almost like he was in the middle of a drama with the awkward way they were talking.
"Well that will do Joey." Seto smirked and gave the tailor orders as Joey left the room.
"So do you plan to call him that during school?" Duke asked from his desk.
"I do." Seto smirked he did not like how buddy-buddy the dice master was acting towards 'his' Mutt. Though he did not know why he was thinking like that it made perfect sense in some ways.
When Joey returned Seto was at his desk typing away and looked up to meet him before smiling just slightly and going back to work. Returning to his seat Joey smiled softly to himself and finished up his work while Duke's moody vibes enveloped the room. It was some time later that the rest of the gang arrived and the meeting between Yugi and Téa after the 'confession' was hilarious. 'So far not a bad day.' Joey thought hoping it would last to the meeting. He knew that Seto had never before brought anyone other than Mokuba with him to meetings and he was not looking forward to the unwelcome welcome he would receive. Regardless of that fact school passed by quickly and without incident and it was five til his last class.
"Don't forget we need to leave twenty minutes in." Seto reminded him on the way to class. He was in a business stance when he announced to the teacher that Joey and himself would be leaving early and it took at least ten minutes of convincing for the teacher to even believe that Joey worked for Kaiba Corp.
"Don't be so nervous." Seto smirked at Joey from across the limo. "I informed the board members I hired you."
"That's not why I'm nervous." Joey admitted. "I don't think I'm cut out for meetings." 'I'm extremely nervous you'll kill if I make a mistake as well.'
"I didn't think I was either." Seto smirked. "I just hate those old geezers that sit there and go on and on about things I could have explained in five minutes. And don't worry if you mess up with conduct. I do not expect a Mutt to be well trained on such things." He smirked but somewhere inside it no longer felt right to insult him like that. "Just relax and do what you can." He had never expected himself to be so comforting to anyone besides Mokuba but it did not feel wrong and it did not hurt business to make sure his new assistant was ready for meetings and able to handle himself around the board. "We're here."
I'll start up from the meeting next time!! I know this is short but school and meeting in one day? Why focus on school?
