Chapter 2:

RosalindHawkins, here you go. You asked for more and I'm giving it. I mostly don't write this ship but you like it so I will give.

By the time the night of love shared between the two had ended Ryou was wrapped up in Joey's arms on the small bed they had shared. They had awoken after an hour of sleep. Ryou smiled at Joey who was on top of him and he returned the smile.

"You have a hickey on you." Joey said sitting up. He looked towering to Ryou whom was laying on the bed.

Ryou's wide brown eyes became wider.

"I do?" He ask his voice shacking slightly. Joey nodded and kissed Ryou's nose.

"Seto won't mind about this. He has to sleep with some of his business partners kids to get better equipment. He won't mind our night. Tho he might want one with all of us together." Joey winked and walked to the bathroom coming back with makeup. "I learned how to cover the hickey's he got so I'm sure I can cover yours. Besides its very small."

Joey smiled at Ryou and sat on his hips and smirked at the blush the small boy gave. They where both naked nothing separating them from touching skin the way they had last night but a small blanket.

Joey put the small amount of makeup on the small boy smiling at his work before handing a hand held mirror to his new found lover.

Ryou's eyes widened he couldn't tell where the love mark had been.

"I wanted to be a makeup artist." Joey said getting up fro his position over Ryou and stretching. "I'm gonna get dressed and make some supper. It's 6. What did you tell Bakura that made him let you stay?"

"I told him I was doing a project with you for astronomy. I told him we would sleep in the day and work at night with the stars." Ryou said picking up a hair tie from the beside table and pulling his hair up and beginning to tie it.

"Ryou." Joey started. "How long has he been abusing you?"

Ryou's arms stopped doing what they where doing and slowly fell from their height above his head. "All my life. Before we dated he said he would stop if I let him have me. I did. That was 3 years ago." Ryou's once wide eyes now where half their size. The eyelids dropped and tears pilled up in the eyes of the white haired man behind Joey. Joey turned to face Ryou.

"If I could help you get out of the relationship and into mine and Seto's would you do it? I love you. Not like I love Seto. With Seto I love fighting him. The angry love he gives is amazing. But you. Your small and soft and I want what we had a few hours ago again."

Ryou's wet eyes looked at Joey with love and surprise. "I want it again too. Help me get him away from me and I'm yours."

Joey smiled and kissed his new secret lover. "I'll talk to Seto and he'll help us. Get dressed I'll cook and then we should probably do our homework we have school tomorrow."

Ryou sat up in the bed and finished his hair before pulling on his clothes from last night. How lucky he was Joey was a soft lover a harsh one like Bakura whom ripped and pulled clothing off of his skin. Ryou dressed and so started smelling food coming from the kitchen and walked down the hall to the kitchen to see Joey cooking and hearing Seto'd voice on speaker phone.

"Puppy where are you?"
"My apartment. I'm here with Ryou." Joey turned to see Ryou behind him. "Say hi Ryou."

"Hello, Seto,"

"Evening Ryou."

"Seto be nice to my cream puff." Joey said giving Ryou a wink.

Seto huffed on the phone.

"Seto I think I want Ryou in our group. But the thing is he's in a bad relationship now, could you help us?"

The silence on the other end of the phone made Ryou frown. What if Seto didn't want him with them? What if seto told Bakura and Bakura hit him.

"Cream Puff do you want to join us?"

Ryou nodded and in a meek voice spoke. "Yes."

"Then I'll have it fixed. I'll make sure Bakura leaves you alone."

"Thank you Babe!" Joey yelled in the kitchen.

"Seto…can we call me something else? Bakura called me that."

"Then you are now a kitten." Joey exclaimed.

Seto laughed. "I'm a zookeeper. A Puppy and a Kitten and a god knows what else Mokibua drags home."

"Well we gotta go eat Seto bye."

"Bye bye Kitten. Bye bye Puppy." The phone hung up and Ryou let out a breath he forgot he was holding in.
