May as well type chapter four while I'm at it! Yay for double updates!

Chapter four:

Malik sat in the shadow realm in utter boredom. Curse the pharaoh's hikari. Curse Marik for being in love with the bastard, if you could call his sadistic perverseness love. Curse the pharaoh for banishing Marik in the first place. Curse Joey for stealing Kaiba and causing Malik to run to Marik for revenge.

Malik sat in the shadow realm mentally cursing everyone he knew. Eventually he fell asleep.

Joey sat on Kaiba's bed as the brunet did some work on his laptop. Yami was in the guest bedroom, presumably asleep. They were all still shocked by Yugi's betrayal. Joey's fist still throbbed from where he had punched Marik. He cursed the asshole.

He leaned back on the bed, his eyelids half closed over his soft honey irises. Kaiba turned away from the computer and came over to the bed. He leaned down and gently placed a kiss on Joey's lips. Joey opened his eyes and wrapped his arms around Kaiba, pulling him down on top of him. He felt himself getting hard as Kaiba's crotch rubbed against his own. His fingers deftly undid Kaiba's shirt buttons.

"Are you sure?" Kaiba whispered. Joey didn't answer. He wrapped his legs around Kaiba's waist and pulled him even closer. Kaiba's heart was racing with nervous excitement. Joey twisted his leg under Kaiba's a flipped them over so that he was on top.

"If you are," He responded, stroking Kaiba's stomach.

Kaiba gazed into Joey's eyes, their deep chocolate pools reflecting his own fear. Kaiba blinked and tried to gain his composure. Was he ready to do this? Was he ready to do what he'd dreamed of doing for so long? He'd imagined it so many times in his head that this barely felt real now.

Joey reached out and cupped Kaiba's cheek with his had reassuringly. Kaiba wrapped his muscular arms around Joey.

"Should we really be doing this now?" Kaiba asked quietly, his voice hoarse. "I mean," he cleared his throat, "Isn't it kind of disrespectful to Yami?"

"Yugi and him aren't our problem, Seto," Joey breathed, "Everything will be fine."
Kaiba couldn't think of anything else that could stop them now. He pulled Joey closer.

"I'm ready," he whispered.

Joey gently slipped the shirt off Kaiba's shoulders, tracing the line of the brunet's muscled chest with his fingertips. Although not a virgin like Kaiba, this was a new experience for Joey too. Not only had he never been the dominate one in a relationship, but he had never truly cared about the person he was having sex with. He recalled his first time—It was two years ago, when he'd first begun to have strange feelings whenever he saw shirtless boys. He'd been confused at first, but then Duke came out and told everyone that he was gay and things started to make sense.

It started out as just kissing. But kissing Duke felt to Joey just like every other kiss he'd had with girls. One day while Joey was at Duke's house, it had happened. It was mostly a blur in Joey's memory, the next thing that he recalled clearly was waking up in Duke's bed exhausted, having just had the most pleasurable experience in is life. Of course neither Joey nor Duke were really attracted to each other so they both went their separate ways.

Then Tristan came out, closely followed by Yugi, who revealed that he and yami had admitted their feelings for each other quite a while ago. At first Joey had thought it strange that all his friends were gay, but as he thought about it, that's probably why they were friends in the first place. And he was also really glad about it; no matter how much he was ridiculed by others at school, he always had his friends.

Joey's thoughts returned to Kaiba, as his fingers slid under the band of his pants to unzip them.

"I love you Seto," he half whispered to the boy below him. Seto's eyelids fluttered shut as Joey ran his had along his cock.

"Do you mean that?" The brunet whispered back, thinking about what Yugi had done to Yami."

Joey's had stopped and Seto regretted having asked.

Joey leaned down to whisper in Seto's ear. "You're the only person I've ever said that to."

Later that night, the two boys woke up to a frantic knock on the door.

"What?" Kaiba muttered.

"Yami's gone," Mokuba said, opening the door. He quickly shut it, mumbling apologies, when he saw that his brother and Joey weren't dressed.

"Fuck" Kaiba said.

Joey trailed his finger down Kaiba's stomach, leaning in to kiss him.

"You know," he said, "I'm sure Yami's just fine; and it's not really our problem anyway, so we don't have to do anything. Unless you want to, that is."

Kaiba responded by pulling Joey back down on the bed, holding him tightly.

"If I never have to get out of this bed again, I'd be the happiest man alive." he said, pressing his lips to Joey's neck.

"That's fine by me," Joey replied happily, kissing Kaiba's forehead.
