Well, this is quite the awkward moment isn't it? Joey's finally made it into Kaiba's house and he didn't even have to try! How's that for lucky? So, other than feeling frightened, why does he seem stoned out? Let's find out! Race ya to 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! And violence, can't forget the violence.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Yugioh in any way, shape, or form. I just write based on characters and the setting.
Kaiba stared awkwardly at Joey. He wasn't sure what he had done wrong. All he did was grab Joey's shirt and try to draw him back from his absentmindedness. Maybe he had been too forward when he had demanded he pay attention. It was rather sudden.
He sighed and knelt down on one knee front of Joey and ruffled his hair. "Calm down, Wheeler." He said in a more gentle voice.
Joey peeked at him through his arms and slowly lowered his defenses. He calmed down a bit and was seemingly easier to talk to now. "Kaiba, I-"
"Just shut up and be a good mutt." Kaiba shook his head and walked towards the grand staircase that led to the second floor. It was made of marble and had silver handrails that followed it to the top. "Follow me, Wheeler." Kaiba ordered.
Joey curiously got up off of the floor and followed the CEO upstairs. They walked down a winding hallway off to the right, passing several closed doors as they went. Kaiba opened two large doors to a room and allowed Joey to enter first. He flicked on the lights to reveal a gorgeous bedroom.
The colors were of course different colors of blue with white mixed in. There was a king-sized bed, a white dresser off against the opposite wall. Across from the door was a glass door that opened to let you out onto the balcony. The bedroom was connected to the bathroom, which housed a large Jacuzzi tub and a counter with dual sinks and a large mirror. The toilet was even decorated and had one of those ridiculous fuzzy tops tied to the lid. Joey always did find them kind of awkward to have on something you went to the bathroom in.
"Uh, nice room, Kaiba…" Joey said sheepishly. He wasn't sure why Kaiba was showing him this. Maybe he was just rubbing it in his face. "This yours?"
"No, this is the guest room. My room is two doors down. You'll be staying here. There's a change of pajamas in the top drawer of the dresser that I keep for guests. You can borrow them for tonight. If you want to take a bath, ask me first. I don't want my home flooded."
Joey was in shock. Had Kaiba just invited him to stay at his house…? He wasn't quite sure what to say or what to do. He lowered his head a bit and nodded. Kaiba cocked his head to the side and watched him curiously. "Something wrong?"
"Huh?" Joey looked back up. "Uh, its nothing. Th-Thanks..." He said softly and shuffled over to the dresser and opened the top drawer.
Kaiba crossed his arms. Even though he was being nice to Joey it didn't seem like he was doing enough. He might have been expecting too much from Joey though. It seemed like he didn't want much, which baffled Kaiba terribly. He only knew people to be greedy when given the chance.
"Can I ask you something, Wheeler?"
"Sure, I guess so."
"Isn't there something you want? Anything at all?" Now it was starting to bug him.
Joey shrugged and looked back at Kaiba. "Not that I can think of." At least…nothing you can give me. Joey set the pajamas back down in the drawer and closed it, then turning to Kaiba and giving him a long hard look. "I can't accept this! I can't!" Joey ran out past Kaiba and disappeared down the hallway.
Kaiba was shocked at Joey's little outburst. It took him a moment to process all that just happened before he took off after the honey blonde. "Hold on! Wait!" He called after him.
Joey wiped a few tears from his eyes as he ran out the door. He was surprised when a soft rain fell against him. He had completely forgotten about the storm while in his dream-like state of mind. He continued to run down the driveway anyway. He couldn't stop, couldn't go back to that mansion. He didn't belong in such a rich place, it wasn't something destined for Joey Wheeler—a penny-less guy that shared an apartment with a drunken son of a bitch he called father.
Kaiba stopped short of the steps and growled. He was trying to hospitable to the guy and what does he do? He runs! He whipped around and grabbed his jacket and car keys then ran out to his car to follow after Joey. He wasn't going to get away without a fight.
Joey found his way to the closed gate at the base of the long driveway. He looked back and saw Kaiba's headlights so he quickly scaled the fence and hopped over to the other side. He bolted off as soon as he hit the ground. Joey ran across the street and ducked behind a house and continued running.
I'm leaving it there for this chapter! Well? How was that for a chapter? I love Joey, so selfless. The next chapter will be posted soon! See ya then!
