Chapter Two

Yugi was worried about Joey and when he told Yami about it, Yami told him that he would contact Seto and find out exactly what was going on. When Yami talked to Seto, "Seto admitted that he knew where Joey was and that he had been hurt by his father and was at his home where he could be guarded in case his father tried to hurt him again." Yami then asked "could Yugi and the others be told as a precaution, in case his father tries to get them to tell him where Joey was?" Seto thought for a minute and then he told Yami "go ahead and let them know, but tell them that if his father should ask they are to tell him that they don't know."

Yami went home and told Yugi about what happened to Joey and Yugi started to cry because his friend had been hurt and was afraid to say anything to any of them. Yami held his abiou and whispered "we will have to be strong and tell the others so that they can help keep Joey safe." Yugi wiped his face and then he started calling the others. When he was through everyone of Joey's friends had been told and they all were outraged about what happened to him and they all vowed to protect him.

Seto told Joey about his friends knowing what happened and at first Joey was angry, but as Seto told him "they needed to know, they're your friends and they wouldn't of stopped till they found out. Yami and Yugi are telling them so they too can keep an eye out for anything suspicious and they can call and let me know or call the Police." Joey then smiled and thanked Seto for all that he had done, and in the back of his mind Joey wanted to tell Seto exactly how he felt, but he was still to afraid to.

The next day at school, all of Joey's friends were telling him how glad they were that he was alright and they thanked Seto for all that he had done for him. Seto wasn't use to anyone thanking him and it kind of embarrassed him but he just nodded that the understood. Yami smile to himself as he watched how Seto looked at Joey and visa versa and he knew then that they liked each other and he couldn't wait to tell Yugi.

Things seemed to have settled down since Joey's father was given the paper that Seto had delivered to him. At first Mr. Wheeler was ready to storm in and take his son by force then he decided to wait and when their guard was down he would strike. Joey was on edge because he knew that his father wouldn't stop till he got him back and Joey was so afraid for all of his friends because he knew what kind of a bastard his father really was. Joey knew that anytime his father would get even and take him back and that he wouldn't live very long after his father was through with him.

It has been one month since Seto took Joey and brought him to his house and things between them was a little shaky at first. Seto wanted to tell Joey how he felt but then he was afraid to, not knowing if Joey felt the same about him. Poor Mokuba was caught in the middle and was about to start screaming at them when fate intervened. One afternoon while Seto was in his Office attending to business, Joey was wandering around the house and he accidentally stumbled into Seto's bedroom and as he looked around he noticed what looked like a diary and it was open and he walked over and started reading, what he read made him blush but gave him hope too.

Dear Diary:

Joey is so damn handsome and I'm having trouble not touching him. I want to take him into my arms and tell him how I really feel and the I want to kiss him and tell him that he doesn't ever have to be afraid again. Do I have the courage to do it? Maybe I'll tell him tonight. It was dated today.

Joey put it back and hurried out of the room, but he didn't know that Mokuba had seen him and he too had read the diary and he smiled to himself and the he thought, I will be the one to put this plan together and tonight after dinner it will all come to be. Mokuba laughed to himself and ran off to plan exactly what he was going to do.

Seto got home around five that evening and he got changed and noticed that he had left his diary open and closed and put it away and hoped that no one had read it. Then he went downstairs and found Joey and Mokie playing some video game and as he sat down he couldn't take his eyes off Joey. Mokie saw his brother from the corner of his eye and he nearly laughed out loud. Seto looked like a love sick fool. Bridget the head housekeeper came and announced that "dinner was ready" and they all got up and walked to the dining room and sat down.

After dinner, Seto was about to say something, when Mokie spoke up "Joey, Tristan and Duke called today to see how you were and they really sounded like they really liked you." Joey looked at Mokie and didn't understand what he meant and he said "sure they like me I'm their friend." Then Seto got worried and he then said "Joey could I please speak to you in private?" Mokuba excused himself and as he walked out into the hall, he started to laugh and he listened to what his brother wanted to say to Joey.

Seto cleared his throat and as Joey looked at him, Seto said "Joey I like you." Joey blinked and thought he couldn't of said that in front of Mokie. Then Seto restated "I really like you, oh, I don't know how else to say it so here goes, I like you more then a friend." Joey then got what he was saying and he then told Seto "I like you more then a friend too. Where does that leave us?"

Seto then got up and walked over to Joey who had stood up too and Seto took him into his arms and kissed him. Then from behind them they heard "it's about time, now maybe all this insanity can stop and we can get some sleep around here!" Seto and Joey held each other and they started laughing and then Seto said "Mokie you have one minute to get out of here or I swear when I get my hands on you, I will tickle the living daylights out of you!" Mokie started laughing as he ran to his room and they heard "I'm not afraid of you!"
