KD: At long last, the final chapter! We debated on whether to split this last one up into two, but in the end decided to just keep it as one big chapter. So enjoy!

Chapter Thirty-Two: For Now

Song for chapter:

Dirty Little Thing- Adelitas Way

Joey sighed while he walked up the stairs of the Kaiba mansion; this was not part of his plan. He wanted to live on his own, be closer to his sister, not living in the Kaiba manor. This was a chance for him and Seto to grow more as a couple but at the same time it would test to see how much he could stand being around the guy without them breaking out into an argument. So far, this move in was starting off with fights. After the intense quarrel in the car, Joey truly wanted nothing to do with the CEO. He was pretty much forced to move out of his house, his entire life was ripped away from him with no remorse from the "loving boyfriend." This made Joey even more angry at Seto than he was before, it seemed as if he didn't care about Joey's opinions and feelings on the matter; only his own.

A few of the maids and Roland helped Joey bring his stuff up to his room no matter how much he protested. He didn't want to be spoiled, by the lifestyle Seto had, even if the workers were paid to do the work. The room was about the same size as his old apartment. There was a full sized bed in the left corner by the window, a walk in closet, a desk and a cabinet all of which were made of a crisp red cherry tree.

All of his duffel bags were brought into the room, he didn't have that much stuff to begin with, a few pairs of clothing, his school uniform, cards, several photos of his friends, and a few posters with Duel Monsters on it.

Joey had more room than what he knew to do with, as he tried to figure out where to put his stuff, he heard a soft knock on the door, and he didn't respond to it. He was fuming didn't want to be bothered at all and end up saying something he might regret.

"Joey?" Mokuba asked knocking on the locked door once more. "Joey it's me Mokuba. I noticed you and Seto were both not in the best of moods walking up to the house so I wanted to check up on you."

Joey stayed quiet, but he knew he couldn't be mad at the kid, it wasn't his fault, it was all on Seto. Joey walked to the door and unlocked it. "Hey Mokuba. You can come on in." Joey closed and locked the door behind him after Mokuba stepped into the room. Mokuba was quiet at first he was not sure what to or not say to Joey. "Mokuba you can talk to me, I'm not mad at you…" Joey began to trail off.

"So you are mad at Seto. What happened? I thought you would be relieved to be living with us." Mokuba said quietly with a bit of sorrow in his voice.

Joey sighed heavily, "it's not that I'm not happy to be living with you guys. It's just your brother cares more about his opinions on my life than my own. And I'm not mad at him. Just not thrilled with what he did and how he did it."

"What do you mean by that?" Mokuba questioned, not knowing what his older brother did.

"Well, I was happy living with my dad. I know he ain't father of the year, and I did all the work to support me and his habits. But I was happy there, and it was my home. And Kaiba entering my home unannounced, lecturing my dad, then having Roland force me out of my own house to come here…" Joey stopped, he really didn't want to say anything to make Mokuba mad at his brother. "It's just I wish Kaiba would listen to my opinions and let me make my own choices."

Mokuba interrupted Joey, "But Seto only had your best interest in mind. I know he was being tactless about it, but he really does care. It just doesn't come off that way…" Mokuba got quiet. "I'm sorry Joey. I understand where you're coming from, but why don't you look at this from Seto's point of view." Mokuba looked down at the floor, not wanting to see his friend's reaction to his opinion. "If I was Seto, I would have done the same thing too. I probably would not have forced you against your will to come, but I would have tried to get you out of there. Seto and I never had a great father figure either, but we turned out ok being on our own. Plus we have Roland looking after us. But doing everything on your own Joey. It's too much for you. I know this isn't what you wanna hear, but it's my two cents." Mokuba held back saying, that Seto might have not done it at all, had he not told his elder brother several days ago, he was being hesitant towards getting the truth out of Joey's family relations with his father. When Mokuba said that, he didn't expect his brother to jump to this extreme, but the younger Kaiba, was doing his best to be a fence sitter in this situation since there was no turning back now.

Joey rubbed the top of Mokuba's head, "Yah, Roland said something similar to me too. But I still don't agree with the methods your brother took. It was not respectful to me at all, and that's not something I can easily forgive right now. He needs to learn how to respect my opinions instead of me just following along with him. He's just too used to always being in charge."

"Ya he is, Seto likes being in control of his own future, and now that you are part of it, he only wants what he thinks is best for you." Mokuba got off Joey's bed. "Well I'll let you be then and finish unpacking. If you need anything just call for me." Mokuba left the room leaving Joey alone again.

A few hours passed and Joey got his room in order for the most part he sighed and laid on his bed staring at the ceiling. There was another knock on his door, and he knew it was not the light knock of Mokuba, but a harsh knock, which meant it was only one person, Seto. Joey was still mad at him, and unless it was an apology, he didn't want to hear it.

Seto knocked again, "If you don't open this door Joseph, I'll use the key and unlock it myself." Joey didn't reply to Seto's threat, "Listen Wheeler I want to…want to….want to talk." Seto stammered out. Joey knew how hard it was for Seto to say that, so he unlocked the door to let the angry brunette in.

"What do you want Kaiba?" Joey said as he opened the door. Seto grabbed Joey by the wrist, and dragged him out of his room. "What the hell?" Joey said pulling away, "You said you want to talk."

"I do Wheeler. We are going to talk in my room." Seto said harshly.

"And what's wrong with talking in my room?" Joey asked him turning around to head the other direction.

"Let's just go to my room to talk. It's more private." Seto said opening the door to his room.

Joey walked in with a huff, "See Kaiba, it's always your way." Joey said as Seto closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong with having things my way mutt?" Seto said staring down at the cold brown eyes that were usually so warm.

"Because you don't respect my opinions. It's always your way, and my feelings don't matter." Joey huffed back at the steely glare.

"My way is always right though. You needed out of that house…"

"It's not just about the house Kaiba, it's the trip to the festival, the parties…"Joey paused for a few moments not wanting to make it seem like he never had a good time doing those things, "It's not that I didn't enjoy going to them, but you just expected me to go without consulting me to see if I wanted to or have time." Seto didn't have anything to say to that which surprised Joey, both of them were stubborn, but Seto took the prize for being the worst usually. "What Kaiba got nothing to say back to me now?"

Seto just leaned into Joey and harshly kissed him. "What the hell?" Joey thought, but all his anger was soon turning into a heated sexual desire, as Seto's tongue started to play with his own. "Kaiba…" Joey started, he was still mad at him, but all of the anger was converting into a sexual tension that he never felt before, and he needed to get it out no matter what. Joey returned the kiss but with different type of passion to it. Their tongues were in a battle with one another making the kiss even more intense. Seto harshly pushed Joey down, back first on the bed, hovering over him, the kissing started again, but his lips soon moved to Joey's ear, delicately licking up and down the cartilage making Joey's body shiver and harshly biting the cartilage as if it were punishment for fighting back. Seto's hands moved up and down the side of Joey's body, his skin was smooth and warm against the touch of Seto's chilled hands.

Joey slapped away Seto's hand, he didn't want any of Seto's sexual fantasy fulfilled tonight. Joey wanted all of his desires, even if he had to fight Seto for them. Seto tried to put his hands under Joey's shirt away to take off the white fabric, but Joey swatted him away again. "NO Kaiba. If you want me you have to work harder than that. I'm not bending to your every will." Joey then grabbed Seto's shirt, and used all his strength to rip it off, causing the buttons to be torn off the shirt and fall onto the bed. Joey pulled Seto back towards him and began kissing him again, his hand rubbing up and down Seto's smooth back. Seto once again tried to take off Joey's shirt, but was denied by his resilient puppy. Joey's hands moved from Seto's back, to his chest, and he began to massage Seto's nipples and then pinched them tightly.

Joey thought the harsh touches would give Seto the message, but instead it turned Seto on even more, and Joey could see Seto's pants get tighter, causing the brunette to get more aggressive in his love making. Seto kissed Joey back and then forced the white shirt off the blond, "I don't care much for resilient mutts like this." Seto said before forcing his tongue back into Joey's mouth, and returning Joey the favor and massaging his nipples, and then squeezing them even harder than Joey did to him. Seto's mouth soon moved down to them, and began to softly lick them. Joey got even harder with the light touches of Seto, and knew that Seto was getting his revenge, and it would not be fun. Seto soon bit down on the light pink knobs, but not hard enough to draw blood. While nipping them, Seto's hand moved to Joey's crotch, "you must feel really tight now. If you were not being a bad dog, I would let all that pressure be relieved." He rubbed over Joey's pants even harder, "But bad dogs get punished by their masters." Seto grabbed harshly, then continued to suck and nibble at Joey. Joey wanted to fight back so hard, which made him even more mad at the brunette.

Joey tried to move his hands towards Seto's pants to take them off, but his hands were slapped away. Seto then used one of his hands and hold down Joey's above his head. He leaned in and began to kiss Joey's neck. "God you are such an ass right now," Joey said, and his pressure continued to build up within him making him want it even more. Both men were hot with pleasure, but Joey was showing it the most. The protuberance in his pants getting tighter and tighter with every tease Seto was giving him. "Take off my pants." Joey demanded. There was no question in his voice. Joey wanted to regain control in this, but knew with how annoyed Seto was that would not be an easy feat.

Seto lifted up his head and smirked, but moved back to Joey's nipples and began to fondle them. "I said take my pants off, Kaiba." Joey demanded once again; wanting to be free of them.

"Why should I reward my naughty mutt with such desires?" Seto asked harshly in Joey's ear and then started nibbling on it again. Joey finally got his hands free and quickly pulled down Kaiba's pants part of the way down. Much to his surprise and could feel Seto's protrusion against his body. "You really want it. Don't you?" Kaiba said pulling his pants off the rest of the way, "But you still have not given me a reason to give you such a reward?"

Joey's face was flushed with anger, and he began to zip his own pants down. He took out his manhood and began to rub it up and down himself. "If you don't please me Kaiba, I'll just have to do it myself then." Seto looked down and saw Joey pleasing himself which tempted the CEO very much.

Seto soon made fast for Joey's pants and took them off along with the boxers. Seto grabbed Joey's scrotum in his hands the very second the boxers were off. Joey let out a loud moan of pleasure. Seto turned around so his butt was facing Joey and began to lick the scrotum. Joey loved the coolness of Seto's tongue against his warm pouch.

However Joey soon realized that Seto's bottom was right in his face, he licked his index finger a few times, making it nice and lubricated and stuck it within Seto without a moments thought to how agonizing it could be for his lover. He thought he actually heard Seto moan in both pain and pleasure, so Joey continued moving in and out and in circles loosening it up. After he was sure Seto was loose enough, Joey stuck two fingers in, moving them around slowly not wanted to bring any pain to his partner this time. Joey was shocked when the CEO was just hunched over taking it, Joey was no longer receiving any pleasure, but was giving it to Seto. Joey could see Seto's manhood dangling as he was hunched over, it was thick and hard. Joey wanted to suck it so badly, but continued with the fingering making Seto nice and loose.

However Joey stopped as soon as he felt Seto's mouth on top of his. "No…fair….Kaiba…I wanna…too" Joey stammered between moans. Kaiba lowered his body and Joey immediately placed the brunette's warmth in his mouth as well. The two went up and down, as if it was a contest, trying to suck and please the other more. When Joey was about to reach his pinnacle, Seto stopped and forced himself out of Joey's mouth, taunting him.

"You didn't think I was going to let it end so soon, did you? You are still on a tight leash."

"I think you can be a bigger ass in bed then you are in the office" Joey grumbled as he pushed Seto down and kissed him hard, he didn't want to forgive his lover for pulling out when they were both so close, but it made the passion of the kiss even more intensified.

"Stand over me Wheeler." Seto commanded, and Joey listened, Seto moved Joey's hand over his own (Joey's) warmth and had him masturbate himself again, but this time over Seto mouth. Joey moved his hand faster and faster down his shaft, the pressure was once again at its pinnacle and he had to let it free. He's juices streamed into Seto's open mouth the white sweetness was welcomed greedily by Seto, consuming it all. Joey's body felt light now, but Seto was not done yet. He grabbed some lube from his nightstand and rubbed it all over his warmth and Joey knew what was coming. Joey bent over the bed knowing what to do. Seto stuck a few fingers inside the blond to make sure he was loose enough. He didn't want to cause any unnecessary pain to his lover, but enough pain to show that he was not off the hook. Seto then stuck his warmth inside Joey, rocking back and forth going a little harder with every thrust. Joey was panting and moaning from the pleasure, but having to hold back a few yelps each time Seto thrusted in harder and deeper. After a few quick thrusts of going in a deep as possible, Seto came inside his lover, all the pressure relieved. Joey collapsed on the bed, but quickly moved his entire body on top of it. Seto laid down next to him, not nearly as tired, "I'm sorry about earlier." He said quietly enough for Joey to barely hear him over his heavy breathing.

After the heated hate, make up sex, Joey finally took a chance to look around Seto's room as a breather. It was simplistic light blue room with no decorations on the walls. However, one of the walls was almost completely gone, being a large window with thick blue curtains that were the same shade of blue as the walls. The king sized bed in a few feet away from the window that was enveloped in black and silver sheets. The wood floor had rug in the middle of the floor, a blue a few shades darker than the walls. There was a small night stand next to the bed that had an alarm clock, and two framed photos beside the lubricant. One was a picture of Seto and Mokuba when they were kids at the orphanage and the other one of the two of them. Joey remembered when they took that picture. Joey wanted to test out his new camera and he put it in front of them, and just took one. Seto looked slightly annoyed and he had a cheesy grin on his face. "He actually framed it." Joey thought to himself looking at the photo a smile on his face.

"I guess I can forgive you…for now" Joey whispered back.

Joey wasn't sure where this relationship was going to take them, how far it would go, and if it would even last. For now, he figured he might as well enjoy it now and worry about the future later.

Beginning of senior year

"I thought I told you never to bother me at school." Bakura said to Malik. The two teens were on the roof of the school, during lunch break. Malik snuck into the school as usual to see his fluffy.

"But I brought a note." Malik said in protest, "It's for Joey. Can you give it to him for me?" Malik held out the carefully folded note, and Bakura snatched it out of his hands, not amused by the teen in front of him. "Now don't go reading it." Malik said as Bakura began walking away from him.

Bakura looked down at the note and debate whether he should even bother giving it to Joey or not. "I'll just have my vessel do it." Bakura soon vanished into Ryou as he walked down the stairwell from the roof. Ryou was now in control again and saw the letter in his hands, he looked down at it and in big red words it said 'To: Joey.'

Ryou looked at the paper confused, "I say what's this." Bakura never did explain the point of the note to him. "I guess I should just give it to Joey then." The young Brit headed to the classroom and saw the usual gang eating lunch together while playing a children's card game. It looks like Yugi was dueling against Tristan who was obviously loosing. Joey was standing over his buds, enjoying the match.

"Joey might I have a word?" Ryou asked as he approached the blond.

"Ya sure. What's up?" Joey followed Ryou into the quiet hallway.

"This letter is for you." Ryou held out the bright white paper with Joey's name on it. "Not sure who it's from mate. Sorry."

Joey had a strong inkling who it was from, after all who else would have Ryou give Joey a letter. "It's no problem. Thanks." Joey opened the letter and he only saw a brief statement on it.

Meet me at the coffee shop we first met at after school today.

There was no signature on it, but Joey was even more certain now who that letter was from.

"Joey I'm so glad you made it." Malik said getting out of the chair he was in. After school, Joey headed to the only coffee shop he ever met anybody at knowing in his mind who the letter was from. His hunch of it being Malik all along was right.

"Well what did you want to meet here for?" Joey asked as he sat down across the Egyptian teenager. Who was soon back to drinking his iced mocha with two pumps of caramel, one pump mint, and double whipped cream with both chocolate and caramel sauce on it.

"Oh I just wanted to talk." Malik said after he was done with his sip. "After all I do get bored being home all alone while you and Bakura are at school. And Bakura is not much for talk after school. So I thought it would be fun if you and I had a talk together." Malik went back to his drink and Joey began to gather his thoughts.

"Well is there anything specific you wanna talk bout? Joey asked, not sure what kind of conversation to have with the guy. They had only met a few times, so Joey didn't know what points of interest to bring up with him.

"Well, how are things going between you and Seto?" Malik asked casually.

"Better than before, I guess," Joey said with a shrug.

"Bakura tells me that you two are living together," Malik said looking positively giddy.

"Yeah… about that, please don't tell anyone," Joey said after glancing around to make sure no one was listening in on their conversation. "I'm not an expert on this kind of stuff, but I don't want to make things any more complicated."

"I understand," Malik said with a nod. "Don't worry, I won't tell another soul. After all, Bakura and I have kept our relationship a secret for this long."

"Just out of curiosity… how did you and Bakura end up living together?" Joey asked curiously.

Malik got a daydreaming look in his eyes, "well it all started when I got to fulfill my dream of riding a motorcycle for the first time. Ever since I was a boy I always thought that riding on a motorcycle would be cool…" Joey saw that Malik started to enter a daydream of the past, but he soon snapped out of it. "It was my first day riding in Domino City and I really didn't know where I was going. I was flying by, and a guy with white hair walked in front of me, I was going so fast so I couldn't stop, so I swerved off to the side, almost hitting him. As I flew past him, I saw that his beauty would complement mine. He was almost going to keep walking, not even checking to see if I was alright after I crashed. But as soon as a crashed I stood right up and headed straight towards him." Malik sighed, the image of that day fresh as rain in his mind. "I went straight up to him before he could escape me and I introduced myself. He introduced himself to me and continued on his way. I ended up following him home because I didn't have anywhere to go, especially since my bike was broken. And I have been living with him ever since."

Joey was confused by this story on so many levels, Bakura was not the type to just accept Malik with open arms, and there seemed to be a few plot holes in his story, but Joey knew he should just accept it and move on. If he ever wanted to know more, he knew Bakura would be a more reliable source than Malik any day.

They talked for a couple hours longer and it turned out that Malik was also a fan of video games which he had recently gotten into after seeing one displayed in a store window. They also talked about music and things they were good at. Malik was for some reason particularly interested in Joey's talents with a yo-yo. The topic both avoided was their precious home lives.

As the sun started to go down, Joey decided it was best if he returned home. "Well, it was great seeing ya again, Malik," Joey said extending his hand.

"The pleasure's all mine," Malik said. "Before you go, I wanted to ask you a favor. I think it would help us both out."

"Yeah? What's that?" Joey asked.

"What do you say we go on a double date?" Malik suggested.

"…Eh?"

THE END...NOT!
