Joey remained in the hospital for the entire week. The doctors had decided it would be best to hold him there and watch him while he recovered to his fullest. They also wanted to be sure there wouldn't be a repeat visit later. The blonde was more than happy to comply. He didn't really want to come back either. Though he didn't mind since he had a pretty nurse tending to his every need, all the free food he could eat, and he didn't have to be in school. Thoughts of homework didn't plague him as of yet.
The blonde's appetite returned to him, and he'd actually started to crave food even more than he used to. He ate every meal with vigor and always begged for seconds. It seemed as if his life was really improving. He was due to be released that Saturday if he could keep it up.
On that Saturday morning, the nurse who had cared for him brought him a wonderful breakfast as a good-bye gift from the staff. He thanked her enthusiastically and drooled over the tray. "Donuts, pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, and a glass of orange juice! It all looks so good! I'm not sure where to start!" He grinned and wrung his hands. He grabbed his fork and knife and dove right in, starting with the pancakes.
After consuming every single crumb, he was freed from all of the machines, wires, and tubes. He was then given his clothing so he could change out of that gaudy hospital gown. He quickly changed and sat back down on the bed to wait for the nurse to return. He kicked his legs and heaved a happy sigh. For once in his life he felt better than words could describe. He felt fresh and brand new, as if someone had put him through the drier with some Bounce dryer sheets and set it to fluff.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"Come on in!" Joey replied.
"Joey!" The nurse came in smiling. "Your ride home is here."
Joey looked puzzled. Originally he had planned to take the bus home. "Ride?" He inquired. The little nurse nodded.
Joey nodded as well and looked at the nurse with a little child-like smile, with big shiny eyes. "Hey, um…can I ride in a wheelchair down to the parkin' lot?"
His nurse giggled and nodded again. "I don't see why not." She brought Joey a wheelchair and sat him down in it. They turned out into the hallway and she pushed him quickly down the hallway. Joey wailed as they zoomed past the many doors. He put his hands in the air as if he were on a roller coaster.
"Woo hoo!" He shrieked as they rounded the corner and came to the elevator.
They stepped on and went down one floor. She pushed him off and they strolled past the front desk, and out the front doors. Parked just outside was a blue sports vehicle with a familiar brunette leaning back against it. Joey blushed brightly and hurriedly stood out of the wheel chair. "K-Kaiba!? What're you doing here?"
Seto cocked his sunglasses up on top his head and smiled. "I'm picking you up of course."
Joey looked the CEO over. He was wearing a white button down shirt with a few buttons at the top undone, which was tucked into a pair of dark wash jeans with a brown belt. He wore white tennis shoes. He was also wearing black sunglasses. It was different from anything Joey had seen him wearing before.
"What the hell you wearin'?" He inquired rudely.
Kaiba arched his brow and crossed his arms. "Nice to see you too. And its called clothing, Neanderthal. Where have you been?" Kaiba retorted.
"Yeah, but ya look…NORMAL." Joey said, ignoring Kaiba's name-calling.
"Just get your skinny ass in the car." He said and got in on the driver's side.
Joey turned to the nurse and thanked her and gave her a huge hug. He ran over to the CEO's car and got in on the passenger's side. The little nurse smiled and waved as they pulled away.
Joey quietly sat in his seat and fidgeted with his safety belt. He was slightly bored with the silence in the vehicle and was tempted to turn on the radio; but then again this was Kaiba's car, so he didn't want to get in trouble with him.
"We're lovers."
Those words came to mind. Joey pondered a moment. If we're lovers…then it should be okay. I mean, its like friends with benefits, only better, right? Joey obviously didn't understand what 'friends with benefits' really meant. He warily looked over at Seto before slowly reaching for the radio. He pointed his finger forward to press the power button. His eyes shifted between the button and Kaiba. He eased towards the button and was about to press it. I'm almost there. Gonna make it…gonna make it!
"Hey, Joey."
Joey drew his finger away immediately and sat up in his chair, his back stiff as a board. He awaited Kaiba's insults and punishing words. He had an awkward look on his face that Seto wasn't sure about, but he pressed forward anyway.
"I was thinking that maybe you should come back to my house with me, instead of going to your apartment."
Joey loosened up a bit after Kaiba had said his piece. He looked over at Seto. "Whaddya mean?"
"I mean, more as a permanent thing."
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?"
Joey's loud noise surprised Seto and he jerked the steering wheel to the right. The car moved slightly to the right into the oncoming lane. A car was coming towards them and their horn furiously. Kaiba jerked the car back into the correct lane just in time. He pulled over against the curb immediately and sat there gripping the wheel. Even he felt like having a heart attack. Joey was gripping his seat firmly and blinking repeatedly.
"Don't do that, stupid!" He yelled at Joey and glared at him.
"W-Well excuse me for bein' surprised! Askin' me to just move in with you like its nothin'."
"We're lovers aren't we? It only seems right." Kaiba growled and moved the car back onto the road to keep driving. "Now shut up and sit there."
There were those words again. 'We're lovers'… Joey found himself blushing. No matter how many times it was said, it never sounded natural to him. Kaiba said it with such ease. The CEO had already accepted the idea when it wasn't even his idea to begin with, the feelings started as Joey's and he'd had them for years. So why then, did it feel so uncomfortable?
The two drove up to Seto's mansion and the car was parked near the front doors. Kaiba got out first and went to unlock the front door. Joey followed him a few seconds later and they went into the house together. The brunette stepped into the kitchen to grab a drink, while Joey meandered around the living room.
"Want something?" He called from the kitchen.
"Naw, I'm good." He replied and walked over to the fireplace. There were pictures with Seto and Mokuba in them. One from when they were only little, one that was probably taken a few years back, and a more recent looking one. He picked up one of the frames and looked at the two of them together. They seemed really happy. "Where's your brother?"
"In Paris with a friend of his and the family. He was invited, so who am I to say no? He'll be able to make up any work he misses." Kaiba walked out with a glass of juice in his hand and saw Joey looking at the pictures.
Joey quickly set it back down and looked back at Kaiba. "You sure I can move in? Won't your brother have somethin' to say?"
"Perhaps." Kaiba stood next to Joey and picked up the frame Joey had. "He shouldn't be opposed though. He'd been bothering me to find a girlfriend."
Joey looked down. "A girlfriend, eh?" A girlfriend…makes sense. He's too good for me. He needs a pretty girl. "Then why me?"
Kaiba set down the picture and his juice and turned to Joey. He put both hands on the sides of Joey's face. He leaned close and whispered into Joey's ear softly. "Because you're more interesting." He kissed Joey deeply.
The blonde nearly melted. He felt his knees start to go after about thirty seconds. He gripped Kaiba's shirtsleeves and tried to keep from falling over and embarrassing himself. Kaiba stroked Joey's cheek and smiled against his lips. "C'mon." He said and took Joey's hand. They started towards the stairs.
Joey put his hand over his mouth and blushed terribly. He followed Kaiba up stair after stair. He then started to think about where they could possibly be going. He'd seen this in a movie before. The teenage guy would lead his cheerleader girlfriend upstairs at a party and they'd go to a room, and… O' shit…
I leave you there with Joey's last thought. "O' shit." Ha ha. Thought it was a great place to make you wait XD I'll try to be more thoughtful about posting. That was mean of me to take so long. See ya later!
