Bonding

Seto x Joey

XoXoXoXoXoXoX

Once everyone was out of the room, Joey sighed quietly, still trying not to cry. "This is embarrassing," Kaiba hissed. "Your friends have a sick sense of humor, Wheeler."

Joey nodded and tightened his grip on Kaiba's arm, letting out a soft whimper. Kaiba looked up at him to see tears falling down his cheeks. As soon as Joey knew he saw him crying, the blonde turned his head and tried to wipe them away quickly. "This sucks," he grunted as he wiped his tears away.

Kaiba remained quiet as he thought about his options. Since everyone was gone and not watching them, they could do whatever they wanted, right? He did a quick survey of the room to see if there were any phones or cameras that could possibly be recording them. When he saw that there weren't, he looked up at Joey. "Mutt," he called, breaking the man from his current state. "There are no cameras watching us. You can get up."

Joey frowned at that. "You're just saying that so you'll win. I'm not stupid," he hissed back at him.

The brunette sighed and shook his head. He lifted Joey and set him off to the side as he stood up. "If there are cameras, they'll show that I did it and not you, if winning is so important to you," he said as he walked into the kitchen. He came back a few moments later with a few more beers and sat back in the same spot as before. He handed Joey a drink and opened one himself. "This was a stupid contest."

The blonde frowned as he drank another one. "Why're you bein' so nice?"

"What?"

Joey frowned again as he played with the beer in his hand. "You're not usually this nice to me. Actually, ya hate me. So... I don't get it."

Kaiba scoffed as he took another sip of his drink. "You're not the only one embarrassed, Wheeler."

"Tch. That's all you ever care about is your pride," he snapped at him as he finished the rest of his drink.

The brunette remained silent as he quietly finished his drink and got another one without another thought, tossing the other to Joey. "Ya know... if ya actually cared about another person for once, ya might actually be a decent person," Joey continued as he opened another drink.

Having quite enough of Joey's insolence, Kaiba stood up and glared at him. "I don't only care about myself, Wheeler. I have a little brother to take care of. That company is our livelihood. If that picture gets out, it will ruin the integrity of KaibaCorp."

"How!? Because if word gets out you're gay, they won't want your products!?" Joey scoffed as he stood up as well, glaring at Kaiba. "That's a load of shit and you know it!"

Kaiba frowned as he glared harshly at Joey. "What do you know!? You don't know a damn thing about the business industry, let alone KaibaCorp."

Joey then gave him a small smirk. "Really? I know that your sales have been steadily increasing over the past few years by at least 10%. I also know that your sales would be even higher if you'd advertise more. But ya don't wanna pay out more money. You're greedy. You're self-centered. And your work is more important than your little brother," he hissed.

Kaiba glared at him, fist shaking at his side. "At least I have a family, Wheeler. At least I get to see my little brother. Why was it again that you can't see Serenity? Oh, right. You're a failure. You're an embarrassment. A stray mutt with nowhere to go. If you spent more time putting your determination towards your livelihood, maybe you wouldn't be such a failure," he hissed back at him, looking down his nose at the mutt.

Having quite enough of the arrogant man's tone, Joey punched him in the face, sending him stumbling back a few feet and dropping his beer. He wiped his lip and grunted as he tasted blood. "You have no idea what it's like, Kaiba!" he hissed as he came at him again, wrapping his hands up in the man's shirt and pinning him against the wall. "Ya don't know what it's like to be without cuz you've always had everythin' handed to ya on a fuckin' platinum platter!"

"I've worked for everything I have!" he hissed as he pushed Joey off of him. "I've never accepted hand outs! I have what I have because I worked for it! Something you don't know the meaning of!"

Joey came at Kaiba again, pinning him against the wall again and getting in his face. "Ya know what, Kaiba? You'll never have a family, a real family. Or friends, because you'll never let anyone in. You're gonna die a lonely, bitter old man because ya refuse to open up to anyone, including your own brother! Mokuba's gonna end up resentin' ya if you keep doin' what you're doin'!"

"What does it matter to you?! You have no place involving yourself in my personal life, mutt!"

"You're such a fuckin' idiot!" Joey screamed as he pushed Kaiba against the wall harder. "Maybe if ya actually open your fuckin' eyes, you'd see that some people actually do care about ya!"

"Yeah? Who cares about me? I hate each and every one of you, so why would that warrant anyone's affections? Since you know so much, who cares about me besides Mokuba?" Kaiba countered, not even bothering to struggle against Joey.

Joey looked at him and loosened his grip on Kaiba's shirt. Tears started to fall from his honey eyes again. "Idiot..." he whispered as he leaned his forehead against Kaiba's chest, sobbing quietly.

The young CEO just looked down at Joey as he cried against him. Not knowing what else to do, he stood there quietly. He didn't understand. Maybe it was the booze. Maybe he'd had too much. Maybe Joey was just speaking through the booze. That had to be it. "What are you saying, Wheeler? Think carefully before you answer. I will not accept a boozed up answer."

The blonde hiccupped as he lifted his head, tears still leaking from his eyes and down his cheeks. The sight almost broke Seto's heart, if he didn't have it encased in ice. "I-"

"We're back!" Tristan called as he stepped through the door.

Kaiba and Joey looked at each other before Joey pushed the brunette to the couch, taking a seat in his lap and wrapping his arms around him, as if they never moved. "No, that didn't look suspicious at all," Kaiba mumbled.

"Sh-shut up," he said as he pouted a little.

Tristan walked through the door and saw the two, but noticed a change. He quirked a brow. "You two moved."

Joey's eyes widened. "We've been sittin' here all this time!"

Kaiba remained silent. "You moved."

"What proof do ya got?"

"Broken beer bottle way out of your reach. Kaiba has a bruise on his jaw. And there's a dent in Yugi's wall," Tristan said as he crossed his arms.

Joey blushed and crossed his arms. "Fine..."

"As punishment... you guys need to spend the night together in the same room and in the same bed."

"What!?" Joey screamed.

"Fine," Kaiba said as he lifted Joey up and stood without a sound. "Let's get this over with, mutt," he said as he looked down at Joey.

Joey blushed heavily and growled as he stood and crossed his arms. "I hate you, Tristan," he hissed as he grabbed Kaiba by the wrist and started to walk away.

"Wait, wait, wait. We're not done yet!" Tristan snickered.

Joey stopped mid-step, grip tightening on Kaiba's wrist in fear. Noticing this, Kaiba turned to glare at the mutt's supposed friend. "Enough. We are not a source for your sick enjoyment. We've had quite enough of your antics."

Tristan looked taken aback. "Then... how will we determine a winner?"

Kaiba glared at him. "Joey wins. I forfeit." Tristan's mouth dropped open. "Mokuba, you can stay the night if you want. We're leaving. Now, if you'll excuse us... we have one last dare to fulfill," he growled as he dragged Joey away and out the door, making his way to his car. He opened the door for Joey before getting in on the other side, slamming the door silently and starting the engine.

Once Joey was situated, he hung his head silently. He didn't know what to say. He glanced over at Kaiba and saw his hand on the shifter, looking stonefaced as usual. He studied the brunette's face more carefully, noticing no twitch at all and his face looking really aggravated. Or at least, he thought he saw aggravation. Maybe it was just him. He gave the brunette a small smile and set his hand over Kaiba's over the shifter, looking out the window of the passenger seat.

Kaiba glanced over at him and then at their hands before turning his sight back to the road. His hand twitched for a brief moment before locking their fingers together as he drove. "Are ya all right to drive?" Joey asked through the comfortable silence.

"If I wasn't, do you really think I'd risk my life and the life of another?" he countered as he turned down the street slowly.

"No... you're too careful for that," the puppy said softly. "Are you still..."

Kaiba scoffed. "Drunk? No. I sobered up when your friend wanted to treat us as a sideshow spectacle."

"Sorry about that..."

"Don't apologize for him," Kaiba said sternly. He felt Joey flinch at his harsh words. "You should stop apologizing for other people. Especially when it's not your place to," he added in a quieter, calmer tone.

Before they knew it, they pulled down the long stretch of driveway to the Kaiba mansion. He went to the garage and parked quietly, shutting the car off and just sitting there. "Before your friend showed up... what were you going to say?" Kaiba asked, not even looking at Joey as the blonde took his hand back and put his hands in his lap, fidgeting with his fingers, head slumped over.

"I... I don't remember."

"That's a lie and you know it."

Joey looked at the brunette in the driver's seat. "You wouldn't believe me if I told ya."

"Try me," Kaiba said as he turned his head to look at Joey.

The blonde pressed his lips together tightly before biting his cheek. "I need more to drink before I can tell ya what I need to," he said before he got out of the car.

Kaiba followed suit and sighed softly as he opened the door to his mansion. He led Joey through the house, to the kitchen and sat him at the bar. He reached into his fridge and started making a mixed drink. Once he was finished, he poured some glasses for them both and sat at the bar quietly. "I thought ya didn't drink, moneybags," the mutt grinned.

The brunette shrugged. "Chef likes to keep it around for cooking." He sipped his drink quietly, tasting that he put a wee bit too much in his.

Joey sipped his drink and smirked at him. After a few moments, he was done with it and looking as buzzed as he was before. Kaiba had only taken a few sips out of his drink and was already feeling it again. He topped off the last of his and looked at Joey to see him eying the rest of the drink in the mixer. Kaiba set it in front of him without difficulty.

After a few more sips, Joey set his glass down. "Why don't ya ever get close to anyone?"

"I don't see a need to," Kaiba said bluntly.

"That's sad..." Joey said softly.

"Why do you care about my choices? Don't tell me you actually care."

Joey blushed softly. "Ya don't know the half'f it."

Joey glanced up at the man, seeing a look of confusion plastered on his pale skin. The younger chuckled and sighed as he got up, wobbling over to Kaiba. He wrapped his arms around the elder's neck and pressed his chest against Kaiba's back, nuzzling his face into the strong neck of the young CEO. Kaiba remained still in his arms, not really sure what to make of the blonde's sudden behavior. "Mutt-"

The blonde gently shushed him as he placed a kiss to Kaiba's neck. He stiffened in the man's hold before turning in his chair to look at Joey, wanting an answer as to why he was acting this way. But what he got instead, was Joey's lips pressed against Kaiba's, as if uncertain of his current action. The brunette pulled away. "Mutt, you're drunk-"

"Yeah, but if I wasn't, I wouldn't be able to tell ya what I need to tell ya," he said as he looked at Kaiba innocently.

"And what would that be?" Kaiba asked as he stood, Joey's arms still around the man's neck. The brunette kept his hands to himself, looking down at Joey for a moment.

Joey's brows pulled together in his drunken stupor. "Ya haven't noticed yet?"

Kaiba frowned then as he shook his head and untangled Joey's arms from him. "Enough. You're drunk. If it's so important, it can wait until you're sober." With that, he turned on his heel and started to walk to the living room.

The blonde quickly followed after him and tackled him to the couch, landing atop him with Kaiba on his back and Joey straddling him. "I can't wait til the morning! I won't be able to tell ya then! This ain't the alcohol talkin', Kaiba! I'm aware of what I need'a say!"

"Then spit it out already, mutt!" he hissed from beneath Joey, sitting up on his elbows to get more comfortable.

"I love ya, ok!?" Kaiba's eyes widened at the confession. "I jus' didn't wanna admit it... but when I kissed you tonight..." Joey blushed as he looked away from him. "When I kissed you... it felt right."

"If that's true, you should be able to tell me when you're sober."

"I can't!"

"Why not?" he asked with a challenge shining in his eyes.

"Because... you'll humiliate me..."

"I'm not doing that now, am I?" Kaiba shot back.

Joey blushed and shook his head. "Not yet."

"Are you going to give me a chance to? Or are you going to act on those feelings?" Kaiba asked nonchalantly.

The puppy looked down at the CEO beneath him and stared for a few moments, as if trying to decide if he were joking. When he realized Kaiba wasn't joking, he gave him a small uncertain smile. "You... really don't have an issue with this?"

Kaiba only rolled his eyes and flipped their positions, pushing Joey on his back and hovering above him, one arm beside his head and the other on the arm of the couch. "Only if you want me to," he said as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against Joey's. The younger gasped, inadvertently opening his mouth for Kaiba to explore. The blonde wrapped his arms around Kaiba's neck hesitantly, partly wondering if this was a dream.

The brunette's tongue played gracefully with Joey's, eliciting a moan from the younger of the two. Removing the hand that was planted on the couch next to Joey's head, he gripped the man's curves, sliding his shirt up to expose his skin with ease. He broke the kiss after a moment and latched onto Joey's neck, nipping and sucking the tender flesh and earning a louder moan from Joey.

The eager pup pushed Kaiba's shirt up, his hand running over hard stomach, feeling the muscles flex under his fingers. The elder growled in pleasure just as his hand came into contact with Joey's nipple, feeling the pert nub get harder under his touch. The pup arched under his touch as he tweaked it a few times. Seto sat up and removed Joey's shirt, tossing it aside without difficulty. Joey sat up and snatched Kaiba's shirt off, too, tossing it aside and staring at the man's naked torso. The CEO let Joey run his hands up his stomach and to his hairless chest, feeling the smooth skin under his calloused hands.

Seto shuddered briefly just prior to pushing Joey back and attacking his mouth with his own, earning a loud needy moan from the boy beneath him. Lithe fingers made quick work to work Joey over and get his pants nice and tight. When Kaiba broke the kiss again to kiss his way down Joey's chest, the blonde squirmed, as if trying to alleviate some of the uncomfortable feeling in his pants. "Seto," he whined as he bucked his hips against Kaiba's body.

The elder simply smirked against his skin and left heated kisses down Joey's body till he reached his pants. He sat up just a little and unbuttoned the man's jeans, sliding them down his hips, down his thighs, and off of the puppy. When he looked back down at the man, he quirked a brow. "No boxers? Bad puppy," he teased, making the blonde look away shyly. The brunette smirked as he placed a kiss on Joey's cheek, making him look at him shyly. "Teasing," he said with a small smirk, earning a shy smile in return.

The CEO kissed his way back down Joey's body till he got to the man's hardened member. He hooked his arms under his thighs and gently licked up the shaft to the head, drawing a loud, drawn out moan from Joey. Deciding he liked the noise, Seto smirked and nipped delicately at the head, precum smearing over his lips. He licked his lips and took the head in his mouth, sucking to get more of his liquid. Of course, the action made him moan louder and arch into him, his arms above his head and holding tightly to the couch arm. After a few seconds of teasing him like this, Kaiba took Joey into his mouth and dipped his head down, growling at the taste.

"Seto!" Joey moaned as he spread his legs wider and started to pant heavily. When Kaiba cast a glance up at Joey's face, he saw the most blissful look on his face, making him increase his efforts to see what his completion face looked like. He removed his mouth for a brief second and slicked his fingers with his spit before going back down on Joey and doubling his efforts to try to bring him over the edge. The blonde started to moan and whimper with need as he humped his hips against Kaiba's face, arching his back and lolling his head back in utter pleasure.

A scream erupted from Joey when a finger was slipped inside his tight crevice, causing Seto to look up at the man. He noticed a thin sheen of sweat covering his lithe form, knowing he was getting close. He kept his sight on Joey's face as he slipped another finger inside of him, scissoring him to make sure he would be ready for him. This only managed to excite Joey further, one hand working its way into Kaiba's hair, grabbing at it desperately and arching his back again as another spark was sent through him. "S-Set-to... I'm... clo-ose," he moaned as the man started sucking again, collapsing his cheeks, as if to try to push him over the edge faster.

It was when Seto slipped his third and final finger in that Joey gave a loud scream of his name, arching his back to an almost painful position as he came in Kaiba's mouth. The elder swallowed all that he was given before licking the residue off of Joey's cock. When he sat up, he looked down at the moaning mess of puppy goo beneath him and couldn't help but smirk in satisfaction. He leaned forward and kissed his cheek, then his neck, and then his lips, mingling their tastes and exciting Joey all over again, a pleasured blush on his tanned cheeks. Kaiba was getting lost in the kiss until he felt Joey's hands working at his pants, making him snicker softly. "Eager pup," he teased as he sat up.

Joey sat up with him and started working on the man's pants again. As he did so, he planted kisses and nips along the perfect skin of Seto, the latter tangling his fingers in his hair and pulling him closer against him as he purred at the attention. The blonde finally got the pants down and pushed Seto backwards as he yanked the things off of him. The brunette smirked at him as Joey pouted at the blue boxers that easily showed his excitement. "Ya should go without boxers every once in a while," he mumbled before snatching them down and off.

"You're only saying that because you're impatient," he said as he snickered at the eager pup, letting himself be nude in front of Joey. He watched as the blonde looked over his nude form, as if he adored his body. "See something you like, pup?"

The blonde smirked up at him and shrugged as he crawled over him seductively. "Maybe," he said as he kissed Kaiba's lips, his cheeks burning with excitement. He felt arms wrap around him, pulling his small form against Kaiba's slightly bigger frame. The brunette's hand slid down his back and to his ass, giving it a small squeeze, making Joey shudder with need. "Not yet," he whispered as he kissed his way down the elder's body. He nipped the base of Kaiba's dick and slid his tongue up the shaft and to the head, earning a small sigh of pleasure from Kaiba.

Deciding he liked the sound, Joey took his dragon into his mouth and deep-throated him with little difficulty. He started to bob, finding that he really liked the taste of Kaiba, more than he thought he would. Hell, he never thought he'd ever go down on him, but now that he was... he found his taste intoxicating. He felt Kaiba's hand tangle in his messy hair, just settling there to have something to have onto. He let out a soft moan, gently bucking his hips against Joey prior to snatching him up by his hair and smashing their lips together as he helped Joey straddle him.

Joey moaned into his mouth, a deep blush coming over him. Kaiba broke the kiss and looked up at Joey for a long moment as he brought both hands to rest on his hips. He guided him to where he was right there at his hole, keeping his sight up at Joey to see uncertainty flash in the blonde's eyes. "Are you scared?"

Joey hesitantly nodded as he averted his sight to the floor. Kaiba smirked and looked up at him as he cupped his cheek. "Come with me," he said as he sat up and helped Joey up. Joey skittishly followed after Kaiba as he led him through the house, up the stairs, and down the hall to his bedroom. When they were in his room, Joey didn't look around. He kept his sight glued to the floor in embarrassment. Arms wrapped around Joey's middle, pulling him against the form he wanted to remember for quite some time to come. "Get on the bed."

The blonde looked behind him shyly at his soon-to-be-lover. He pressed his lips together quietly and looked at the big, luxurious bed. This was far too expensive for him. Nonetheless, he walked up to it and sat on the fluffy thing, eyes widening at how comfortable it was. Kaiba stalked closer to him with a smirk, leaning over him, making Joey back up onto the pillows with a small smile. When he was on his back, he wrapped his arms around the brunette's neck, pulling him closer. "I wanna see this Kaiba more often," he teased with a smirk.

Kaiba snickered. "Don't get used to it, mutt," he said as he kissed his lips roughly, dominating the kiss with ease and effectively turning his puppy into goo. He reached between them and grabbed hold of Joey's still-hard cock and stroked it, dragging a moan from the younger man.

The elder broke the kiss to suck on the pulse point at Joey's neck, dragging a breathless moan from him. "Please..." he whispered breathlessly. "I need you, Seto."

With a momentary shiver, the elder of the two, reached the side table and got the bottle of lube out, squirting some in his hand and coating himself with it. He positioned himself at Joey's entrance, glancing down at him to make sure. Seeing the need shine in Joey's eyes was plenty for him to shove into him and bury himself to the hilt, groaning at the tight heat that now encased him. Joey's eyes squeezed shut in pain as tears leaked out, his thighs quivering from the need and pain coursing through him. When his dick was stroked again, he started to relax more, but it still wasn't enough. Realizing this, Seto leaned down and placed kisses along the man's jaw and neck as Joey clung to him tightly. "Relax," he gently coaxed.

"I would if ya weren't so fuckin' big!" he hissed through gritted teeth. Kaiba snickered and shook his head against Joey's collarbone. After a few breaths, Joey bucked his hips against Kaiba's, showing he was ready. The young CEO slowly pulled out and pushed back in, getting Joey used to the movements as he continued to stroke him to keep his mind off of the pain. "Faster," he whispered as the pain finally faded and was replaced with utter pleasure.

Not wanting to deprive his pup the pleasure, Kaiba pulled out and slammed back in, Joey screaming out in pleasure as his prostate was assaulted. Kaiba continued, seeing Joey was really getting into it as he let out whimper and whine and cry of pleasure, as well as broken syllables of the CEO's name. The brunette wrapped his arms around Joey's lithe form and dragged him up with him to where he was sitting in his lap. He helped lift him and slam him back down by his hips, making Joey cry out with unbridled pleasure. He started to take over himself, lifting and slamming back down, a thin sheen of sweat reclaiming his body. "Seto!" he moaned as he was given a particularly hard shove against his sweet spot.

The elder felt his release coming faster the more Joey called his name and panted so heavily against him. Oh, but then their positions changed again once his pup gained more confidence. He pushed the CEO onto his back, still straddling him as he rode him like a pro, moaning and arching in the right ways that drove Kaiba wild. He moaned Joey's name as the tight walls started to constrict with each thrust. He then grabbed hold of Joey's cock and stroked it faster, trying to get him to cum quickly because he knew he wouldn't last much longer. And then, as if it were meant to be, Kaiba came with a roar of Joey's name, spitting his essence into the younger, thinner man, at the same time Joey called out Seto's name and came between them.

The blonde collapsed atop Kaiba, both panting breathlessly as they rode out their high together. The alcohol had long worn off for the both of them. Both lay in a sweaty, pleasured mess, the elder wrapping his arms around the lithe man atop him and kissing his temple delicately. "Ya know... for an arrogant jerk, ya sure are good at what ya do," he teased as he sat up on his elbows and gently ran his thumb over the paler man's cheek.

"For a mutt, you're pretty good, too. I think I may keep you around for a while," the elder said with a small twitch of the lips.

Joey blushed fiercely, his cheek stroking ceasing and faltering in shock. "W-what?" he breathed quietly.

Kaiba's lips twitched into a rarely-seen smile. "I love you, too, mutt."

Tears started to fall down the tanner man's cheeks as he gave him a wide smile and kissed him as if his life depended on it. Kaiba snickered as he kissed him back and held him against him. Once Joey was done kissing him, he pulled back with a warm smile he rarely showed. "Get some sleep, pup," Kaiba said with a small smirk as he adjusted them so they were lying on the pillows.

Joey snuggled up against Kaiba and sighed in contentment, sleepy and exhausted now after his buzz completely wore off. Once the pup was settled in, the brunette yawned softly and fell asleep along with him. Good things came of Tristan's botched up competition, he had to admit.
