It was a hot summer day in Domino city as everyone's favorite blond lay down on the park ground sleeping. Though anyone would look like he was peaceful and serene they could not be more wrong.

Joey had various bruises and broken bones thanks to his dad latest beating which led to him being kicked out and was only there to rest up and go to the train station. He hoped that the gang could at least know he was leaving but they were all out in a vacation trip and with no phone he could not tell them when they came back they would never see him again.

Joey was deep in though and did not hear when Seto Kaiba walked up to him from behind and crouched down, and if he had he would have been able to avoid the water being poured down to his face by Seto's water bottle.

Joey choked on the water since it was poured to his mouth and quickly lean forward which cause a sharp pain in his abdomen to flare up though he with all his experience in hiding pain hide it from the person who poured water on him.

Joey turned back to see who it was and it was Seto Kaiba who is crouching down and looking at him at eye level and Joey calmed down seeing it was only him.

Seto Kaiba smiled as he put his arms around the blonde's chest and pulled him close to him.

"Hello puppy what brings you here?" Kaiba whispered to his secret lover's ear.

Joey looked worse than usual. Kaiba had mastered to identify all of Joeys faces no matter the smallest change he always knew if something was wrong or if he was lying or anything. Kaiba kissed his cheek and looked at him in the eye. Joey only looked away with sorrowful eyes.

"Um Kaiba I, um I need to leave and I don't mean from the park I mean this town I'm sorry." Joey looked away from Kaiba's hurt face and as Kaiba held him tighter and held the tear from falling down.

"Why? Tell me why are you leaving?" Kaiba asked heartbroken and about to burst into tears.

Joey did not respond he only looked down but knowing Kaiba will not let him go until he answered.

"It's my dad he beat me up and threw me out and I got nowhere to live I'm hoping if I beg my mom she'll let me stay there at least."

Kaiba did not like it. Not one bit, his puppy leaving and begging for a place to stay? Not on his watch and what is this about his dad beating and throwing him out. Kaiba was growling at this point and not letting go of Joey.

"Never. Why did you not come to me? Why did you not tell me that your dad beats you up?" Kaiba was seething with fury at the information he received and he held Joey close to him like a possessive monster that kills all who approaches his property.

"You are staying with me got that! I will not let my puppy leave got it! And why didn't you tell me so I could help? Don't you trust me?" Joey at this point was in shock and wide eyed and he looked away after a while.

"Well I didn't want you to kill my dad I mean he abuses me but he is still my dad I always pray that one day he would actually go back to the nice guy he use to be before he divorced my mom. And I didn't want your help cause I didn't want to look like I was using you."At this point Joey was crying into Kaiba's chest as Kaiba held him and comforted him. Kaiba then took Joey to his home to get him checked up by his private doctor and made him rest. Though it filled him with hatred he decided not to call the police to arrest Joey's dad and instead took care of the hurt puppy for as long as needed.
