-The End-

Joey was painting a picture at his studio just like every day. He is an artist and a very successful one; he uses the name of Osada as a pen name just in case for his safety. His in America right now and it has been like two years after he last saw Kaiba.

'Alright!' Joey says happily. 'It's finish.'

He had just finished painting a face of a man that was requested by his customer. It was tiring to paint different things everyday but that's his job. If it isn't for his ability to paint, he would end up as a beggar. He remembers his sweet life in the expensive apartment when he is working for Marik. Before Marik death, he never tells Marik how he grateful for him to help him but now….

Joey look at his watch, he quickly ran out from his studio.

'I can't be late, I got another job.'

Joey ran to the location where he supposes to go. He was hired to paint a picture of a new chairman for a certain company. He arrives at the building and walks inside with his other supplies.

'I'm Osada, I was request to come here by the chairman.' Joey said at the counter.

'He is waiting for you at the 30th floor.'

Joey was about to walk toward the lift until the women at the counter stop him.

'Are you dating someone? Want to date me? Please don't tell me you had a girlfriend?'

Joey just laugh, this had been like more than a hundred times that people confess since he got in America. He follows Kaiba advice to eat right and now he's more handsome than he ever remember.

'Sorry, I had feelings for someone else.'

The girl look disappointed as Joey walk away leaving her from her sight. Joey enters the lift. He stand in the lift, it takes a long time since he's going to the 30th floor. Suddenly the lift stop as it reaches halfway to Joey destination.

'Why does it have to happen to me?'

Joey presses the emergency button.

'How may I be able to help you?'

'I'm trap in the lift at 16th floor. Can you get me out from here?'

'We will come to rescue you immediately. Right now, please stay calm.'

Joey sits down waiting for help to come.

'Sorry Kaiba.' Joey says it softly. 'I still got trouble in my new life.'

Kaiba was walking toward his office, until he suddenly find some of his workers walking in pack toward the lift.

'What's going on?' Kaiba ask to one of his workers.

'There's someone trap in the lift so we getting him out.'

'Something like this happen on my first week here.' Kaiba walk toward where the accident happens. 'As an owner to this place it's polite for me to send my apologies.'

The door open, Kaiba was ready to say usual words from his mouth. Instead his eyes were wide open and he froze.

'You….' He says in shock.

Joey pointed at Kaiba face even though it's not polite but he did it.

'Kaiba! What are you doing here?' Joey says in shock. People are looking at both of them in curiosity and suspicious feeling.

Kaiba laugh, he never laughs so hard since Joey gone.

'I'm the chairman; I'm the one who should ask what you're doing here.'

Joey was stunned.

'You're the chairman that hire me.'

Kaiba pull Joey back to the lift, Joey stuttered. As the door was close, Kaiba hold both of Joey shoulder so Joey can't run.

'Hey, didn't we agree to become strangers.' Joey blushes; they're so close to each other.

'I'm Kaiba, nice to be meeting you.' Kaiba introduce himself, Joey blink a few times.

'I already knew you….'

Kaiba just smiles.

'It's nice to know that I'm popular, what's your name?'

Joey chuckle, he realized what Kaiba is doing.

'I'm Osada, the person you hire to draw you. Well Osada is just a pen name.'

Kaiba lips touches Joey lips. He kisses him.

'I feel in love in first sight.'

Joey hugs Kaiba tightly, missing the warmth. 'Me too.' He said as he kisses Kaiba back. 'I love you.'

Kaiba and Joey walk out as they arrive at Kaiba office, they both sited down at the couch. Kaiba office is way too big, it's bigger than Joey living room.

'We're no longer stranger right?' Joey asks.

Kaiba put his right hand around Joey, while Joey lean onto his shoulder. It was a very odd silent.

'Joey, how's your new life. Are you happy?' Kaiba ask breaking the silent.

'Yes.'

'You eat right?'

'Yes.'

'Are you still single?'

'Yes and why are you asking me yes and no question?'

'It's been a long time since I haven't seen you. So I should take this opportunity to know you better.'

'Well, I also want to know you better too.'

'Find out yourself. I won't tell you anything.'

'You're mean.'

Kaiba jump on top of Joey, Joey was surprise as Kaiba was on top of him again.

'What are you doing?' Joey asks.

'You're very slow for a former dealer. I thought you will know right away if we're in this position.'

Joey sighs.

'I think began to regret something but I can't put it in words.'

'I think it will be too late once you said it.'

They both laugh, and then kiss but this time this kiss is from people who knew that their love won't be apart from each other. Their love is stronger than ever and this time there's no curse created from the dead. Their love grown every second, every hour and forever until death separate them.

This is the end for the story of Joey and Kaiba love.
