So? Did you give it any guesses what Joey might have on this page? If not it, doesn't matter because you're about to find out! Thanks for any reviews I've gotten/will receive. I always love to hear what people think about the story or about me. It's just nice to know that people actually read what I've taken the time to write. Anyway, see ya at the bottom!
Warning: If you don't like yaoi then turn back now because this is a yaoi fanfic for Yugioh. Also the mature warning is because of Joey's habits and because in yaoi…"stuff" happens between guys, ya know? Also, there's swearing. You've been warned! (There's also possible violence and drug/other content now that I think of it.)
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Yugioh in any way, shape, or form. I just write based on characters and the setting.
Kaiba was shocked to find his name written in large print right in the middle of page. Around it Joey had written little sayings like what he thought of Kaiba or something about his features that he just couldn't get over.
A few things written on the page that caught Seto's eye were:
Kaiba's got a nice set of blue eyes.
I…actually don't mind it when he calls me mutt.
He's got awesome hair.
That one made Kaiba laugh.
It's weird, but I think that I really like Kaiba.
Scratch that, I love him.
Kaiba dropped the book back on his desk as if it were on fire and pushed his chair away from the desk, arms in the air and eyes wide. He had just remembered whose notebook this was. "Wheeler? Is in love with me?" Kaiba couldn't quite grasp the concept of it. The thought of Joey liking him was almost repulsive, but in a way it was kind of flattering. A slight blush tinted Kaiba's cheeks.
He snapped himself out of it and coughed and tried to get the thought out of mind. Kaiba quickly closed the cover of the notebook and set it back down on his desk and stared at it. "No way. It's unnatural for men to have these feelings for other men. It has to be a joke at my own expense!" Kaiba pushed the notebook aside and turned on his computer to try and get some work done.
An hour later, Ms. Nakano knocked on the giant office doors and poked her head in slowly. "Mr. Kaiba?" Seto looked up at her from his computer. "The meeting was cancelled due to the storm, sir. I just received the call." She explained.
"Thank you. Is that all?"
"Yes, sir." She said and left and closed the door behind her.
Seto sighed. "And I got all dressed up for those clowns too. How sad." Kaiba said. His attention was diverted to the storm outside his office. Behind his desk was a large wall made entirely out of glass. It gave him the best view of the city, even if it was a grave looking view today. He took a moment to enjoy the rain and thunder. It was quite calming to watch a storm.
While he stared out into the rain the first thing he thought of was Joey for some reason. He growled and glanced back at the notebook. "Damn you, Wheeler. That page in your notebook had better be some kind of joke." Kaiba grabbed it and got away from his desk.
He walked out of his office and walked right by Ms. Nakano. She jumped up from her desk. "Mr. Kaiba? Where are you going?" She hurried after him.
"I have to leave for a while to take care of some business." He stopped in his tracks, just now remembering that he had no idea where Joey lived. "Ms. Nakano. Would you please look up the address for Joey Wheeler?"
His young secretary ran back to her desk and hurried to look up the address in the local pages. She scratched it down for him on paper and handed it to him. "Is it a friend from school? It seems unusual for you to have a friend. You always keep people at such a distance-"
"It's nothing like that. I was merely asked to return something to him." He took the paper with him and left the office.
It was down pouring outside. The streets seemed deserted because no one dared to walk or drive in this weather. However, Kaiba was determined to get this notebook back to Joey and ask his questions that had come up after reading that one last page.
He pulled into the parking lot of the apartments. He parked his car and stared at the grotesque building out his window. "How can anyone live here? It's disgusting." Kaiba was absolutely appalled by the condition of this place. He had never seen anything this troubling anywhere before.
He put his disgusted feelings aside and got out of his car and ran to the shaky metal staircase. As he scaled the stairs looking for Joey's apartment he held on for dear life. He was afraid of the metal giving way from under him so he stayed near the handrail.
"Oh my god. This place is a disaster." He growled. He looked for apartment number thirteen and finally came to its platform. "How befitting." He stated at first glance. Thirteen was an unlucky number after all. He hesitated for a moment to knock. If he didn't he could walk away right now and forget all of this, but then again that wouldn't solve anything or get the notebook out of his way any faster so he knocked.
He waited a moment before knocking again, then heard the sounds of bolts and locks being undone. A small crack was made in the doorway and light brown eyes looked out at their visitor. "K-Kaiba?" The door was slammed in Kaiba's face.
It was Joey that had answered the door and he was shocked to see Seto Kaiba standing at his door. He can't believe he had actually come to a place like this! There was another knock at the door. Joey hurried to straighten himself up and look somewhat presentable, then opened the door again and stepped out quickly so his dad wouldn't wake up.
Kaiba was surprised with the way Joey looked. He looked frail and had bruises where visible. "You look like crap." He said bluntly.
Joey leaned back against the door and looked away from Seto. "What are you doing here…?" He was embarrassed that Kaiba had seen where he lived, and that he had seen Joey like this after his father had just finished with him. His eyes were red from the tears and his voice was soft because his throat hurt.
Kaiba held out Joey's notebook. It shocked the honey blonde that Kaiba had gotten a hold of it and he jerked it away from him. "Where did you get this?"
"I was told to bring it to you." Kaiba simply answered. He stared at Joey hard. It was startling and almost upsetting to see him looking like he did. Even if he hated him most of the time, this was just sad. "Go grab your jacket."
"What?" Joey looked up at him surprised.
"I said go get your jacket." Kaiba reiterated for him.
Joey hurried back into the apartment and grabbed his jacket from his room. He ran to the bathroom to wet down his hair and try to do something with it. He washed his face too. Kaiba waited impatiently for him out on the platform. Joey walked out shyly and tapped him on the shoulder. Kaiba said nothing and turned to walk down the stairs. He again held tightly to the handrail for safety's sake and walked down to his car with Joey trailing behind him.
I think I'll cut off there for now. I bet you're wondering where they're going! You'll find out in the next chapter. Hope you liked this one and the others. Come back later and there'll be more! See ya then! Bai bai.
