Black out

Chapter 3

Joey walked into the office and heard the door close behind him, trapping him with the cold CEO he was apparently married to, not knowing what said CEO thought about it. Kaiba sat in his chair with the glass front of the room behind him. Joey wished he could just look at the nice view instead of the man in front of it. Kaiba just set there silently typing on his laptop like nothing was going on at all, a cup of steaming hot-and probably strong-coffee was standing next to the laptop and filling the room with it's intense scent.

"You know," Joey accused the CEO.

"I tend to know a lot," Kaiba said calmly. "But please enlighten me to what exactly you're referring to."

"To this," Joey answered and threw his passport in front of Kaiba, who up to now was still typing on the keys of his laptop without even looking at his visitor. He watched how Kaiba now opened the passport and took a closer look.

"You need a better photographer," he simply said, and Joey could've killed him in that moment. He wanted to have some answers and not some random comments on how bad the bloody picture was. He really didn't need Kaiba to tell him what he already knew.

"I didn't mean the picture. I meant the name!" Joey told him with a glare.

He saw Kaiba looking up into his face before he asked, "What about it?"

"What about it?" Joey asked. "Oh come on, why do ya think I'm here after getting that passport?"

"I don't know," Kaiba replied, sounding like he was explaining a simple task to an employee, "especially considering the date of issue you've had said passport for over two weeks and only show up now. So whatever the reason, it can't be too high on your priority list."

"Cut me some slack here," Joey mumbled. "I just found out that I married a jerk while I was totally wasted. I needed some time to think about what I'd do."

"And what was the result of those thoughts," Kaiba asked and looked surprised.

"I have no idea," Joey answered with a blush. There was no way in hell that he'd tell Kaiba that he wanted to give them a shot before he knew if Kaiba wanted the same. "There are a few things that I want to know before I decide that."

Kaiba was even more surprised by those words as he had been about the fact that Joey apparently wasn't just there to force Kaiba to sign some papers to get it annulled. He had assumed the blond to have them by now "And what would those things be?" he asked.

The surprised look on Kaiba's face came as a surprise to Joey. Kaiba always looked so sure of himself and so certain that he could calculate everything, almost like he could predict everything simply with good preparation, but he obviously hadn't been calculating this turn of events. Joey thought about what to ask first. He wanted to start off with something that wasn't too hard to answer but somehow couldn't think of an easy question and so he started with, "Since when did you know?"

It was quiet for a moment; not even the clicking from Kaiba's laptop keys were heard since both young men where simply staring at each other. "Don't you want to sit down first?" Kaiba offered after a moment since Joey still stood in front of his desk.

"I want an answer," Joey just replied and stayed glued to the spot where he was, just to make a point that he wouldn't let Kaiba distract him from answering.

Kaiba gave a sigh before he started to look at the screen of his laptop and started to type again. Joey watched for a moment and then decided to walk past him too look out of the window for a while to give Kaiba a moment to think about his answer, as well as himself to think about what he would ask him next. But Joey couldn't stay quiet for long.

"I'm not going to leave until I know," he informed Kaiba, hoping to get his answer sooner rather then later. The suspense was killing him!

Joey looked over his shoulder back to Kaiba, who by now was located a bit behind him. Joey could actually see the screen and noticed quickly that while typing on his laptop Kaiba had to delete everything over and over. He probably wasn't thinking about what he wrote at all.

"I knew from the start," Kaiba admitted after another moment of silence.

Joey watched him for a moment while something else came to his mind that would interest him greatly right now and that might be easier to answer and give Kaiba a moment to think about what he was willing to tell Joey, because this obviously wasn't as easy for him as he wanted Joey to believe. "Do you have a tattoo too?"

Joey was surprised to hear Kaiba laugh and see him turn the chair to look at him. "Yes, I do." Kaiba said after a bit of laughing and looked at Joey with a smug smile. "Do you want to see it?"

Joey watched Kaiba's smug smile and knew that it probably would be somewhere intimate, just to make sure that no one else got to see it. Joey wasn't sure if he would regret his next words. "Sure," he said, too curios to stop himself no matter the risk of getting aroused by seeing a more intimate part of Kaiba's body. Joey watched Seto rise from the chair and open the jacked from his white suite. For a moment he expected that the light blue tie would be the next to go but instead Kaiba opened the button of his pants and unzipped it. Joey watch him move much slower then necessary and could feel that it was already enough to arouse him a little bit, but not enough to be noticed by Kaiba…yet.

Joey just stood there silently fighting a blush and stopping himself from staring at Kaiba too lustfully, fighting to keep his cool. Once the pants where finally unzipped, Kaiba turned around and pulled them down a little. Joey swallowed a little after seeing the exposed tight fitting white underwear. Kaiba then slowly pulled them down too and Joey nearly held his breath feeling his arousal growing…at least until he saw the tattoo. "YOU GOT A FREAKING DOG?" Joey screamed at him after seeing the dog that looked like a street dog whose fur had about the same shade as Joey's hair. It was a piece of art all right. Seeing that it was really detailed with a black color with red stones and the red tongue of the dog hanging out of his mouth. The eyes of the dog had about the color of Joey's eyes and were huge and begging.

"Do you have a problem with that?" Kaiba asked, much too amused and Joey knew now that the smug smile had been because he had expected Joey's reaction. He was probably finding this whole thing hilarious and was just messing with him from the very start.

"Yes I do!" Joey still screamed. "I'm no freaking dog so why do ya have a dog while I got your stupid Kaiba Corp. logo on my back?"

"Easy," Kaiba answered, "because whether you like it or not you are a dog. You're wild like a little mutt from the street. You're always running around with your friends and do anything for them because you're just as loyal as a dog is. You don't even give a damn what someone does once you like them, like when Mai worked for Dartz, you just had to help her anyway. It's always the same. You fight anyone who threatens the persons you care for no matter how much stronger they are, just like a dog would-loyal to the point of stupidity and beyond."

"And why the hell do you think that's a bad thing?" Joey growled at him. "Friends are supposed to stick up for each other and help each other no matter what!"

"I never said it was bad," Kaiba answered. "And just for your information I used to want a dog when I was younger and the only reason I don't have one now is because I wouldn't have the time a dog would need me to have. It wouldn't be fair to have one if I can't take proper care of him, right?"

Joey stared at Kaiba for a moment "Then the dog comments…"

"Weren't supposed to be an insult," Kaiba finished his sentence.

"And the third rate duelist comments?" Joey asked now looking slightly confused and fought to still look angry.

"Stating a fact," Kaiba said, earning himself a death glare. "Yugi managed to even beat me and I was still able to beat you every time we dueled. So from the thousands of people that duel all over the world you're probably the third best."

"You do realize that if you say it that way," Joey wondered, "it could be considered a compliment…since I'm still better than most people."

"I don't need to realize that," Kaiba replied quietly while he sat back down with his pants back in place and looked to the screen of his laptop. "I always meant it that way."

Joey was quiet for a moment and thought about what else he could ask right now. It looked like Kaiba really did care for him. Maybe he even planned this all along, but how? "How did ya get me tattooed and all that anyway?" Joey asked after thinking about it for a moment "I mean Mai left me at my apartment block. How did I end up from there to that suite?"

"That was much easier as I thought," Kaiba answered with a smug smile, his eyes on the screen again. But to Joey, Kaiba didn't look like he really saw it anymore. He seemed to be in thought, probably remembering the night where he married Joey. "I had someone watching you."

"You where stalking me?" Joey interrupted him, outraged by that revelation.

"Don't be silly," Kaiba replied calmly. "Unfortunately I don't have the time to stalk anyone. I simply paid someone to keep you safe and to ensure that I would find out if you where in any sort of danger, like being out with someone who might use the fact that you where absolutely wasted. That way I was sure to find out if you ever happened to be drunk enough to be talked into something you might otherwise not do."

Joey stared at Kaiba. He really had planed it but Joey still couldn't think of a reason for him to go to such a measure. He could have talked to him couldn't he? "Please correct me if I got that wrong," Joey grumbled. "You paid someone to make sure that I don't get used by someone while I'm wasted and then you come along when I'm wasted and use me and even somehow get me tattooed and marry me while I'm clearly in no fit state to make such a decision."

"That pretty much sums it up," Kaiba answered calmly. "But if you try to sue me I'll deny it and trust me, I got the better lawyers and have enough people that will tell the judge that you seemed to be absolutely sober and there is no way to find any sort of personal gain for them by going through my financial transactions-I ensured that."

"And what did you do after you found out that I was drunk enough for your freaking plan?" Joey asked angrily.

"I waited for you at the apartment block," Kaiba started to explain the events of that night further. "I waited for you and watched you stumble up the stairs, or rather crawl up them considering that you were on your hand and knees like a dog." Kaiba grinned at the memory of Joey coming up the stairs like that and earned himself another death glare from Joey. "You tried to open the door but had a hard time getting the key in because you where so wasted. I walked up to you, already trying to think of a couple of ways to get you to marry me and sure that it would be really hard. But it turned out to be easy. I asked if I could help you and you said 'sure, jump off a cliff.' I mentioned that I was more thinking along the lines of offering you a hotel bed since you couldn't get into yours and you asked what you would have to do for that and I said 'marry me.'"

"And what did I say?" Joey asked certain that he wouldn't happily go off and marry someone just to have a bed for one lousy night.

"You said 'If I get a breakfast as well, sure'," Kaiba answered, still grinning.

"How did I end up with the tattoo?" Joey asked, mad at his own stomach.

"That is easily explained," Kaiba said, still looking like he was lost in his memories. "I always wanted you to have a tattoo, just to mark you as mine. So I asked if you would let me get you a tattoo if I gave you a second breakfast and you agreed."

Joey looked at Seto and quickly noticed that there was something off. He had three breakfasts the morning after that night. "What did I have to do for the third one?"

"How about I first tell you what you did to get me to get a tattoo," Kaiba mused. "I'll come to the other breakfast after that."

"Fine," Joey mumbled. "Just shoot."

"You agreed to take my name if I would get a tattoo that would always remind me of you." Kaiba informed him. "You didn't seem too keen to become a Kaiba so I had to persuade you a little. I knew I would have to persuade you, but I hadn't expected it to be so easy."

"And now tell me about the third breakfast," Joey ordered with a stern look on his face. He didn't like to hear that it was oh so easy to manipulate him and he really would have to make sure not to get THAT drunk again.

"We had a little problem deciding on the picture of your tattoo as well as the position," Kaiba looked much too smug to Joey while he told Joey, "so I offered you a third breakfast if you got both versions that were up for discussion."

Joey stared at Seto until he shouted at him, "I got another one?"

"Yes," Seto said. "But you lost the bandage during our love making and it is nearly as hard to see for yourself as the one on your back, so I'm not surprised that you didn't notice that one yet."

"What is it?" Joey asked, not bothering to point out that the so-called lovemaking was rape, considering that Joey couldn't really give his consent or even take it. He had been way too drunk and Seto had just used that fact. "And where is it?"

"You can see it," Kaiba informed him with a triumphant smile on his face. "At least most of it, if you know where it is."

"Then tell me!" Joey ordered.

"I can show you," Kaiba offered with a triumphant smile.

Joey wondered why he was grinning that way this time and decided that it might be safer to say, "I think it's enough if ya tell me."

"Scared?" Kaiba asked with a grin.

"Like hell!" Joey replied mad, but he still wasn't sure if that was a smart choice. He saw Seto rise from his chair again and walk closer to him.

"Relax," Kaiba whispered seductively once he was closer and pulled Joey closer to himself. Once Joey stood with his back to the desk Kaiba opened Joey's pants. Like with his own ones before he was teasingly slow with the zipper and Joey tried to think of something completely different to stop himself from getting aroused but it also stopped him from noticing that Kaiba moved his laptop further to the side to make some space.

Once Joey's pants where open Joey felt Seto pull them down followed by his boxer shorts. He bit the inside of his mouth trying to imagine himself in a completely different situation. Maybe a visit to the dentist or something along those lines might do the job. But it was hard to imagine himself in such a situation when Seto put one arm around him and pulled him up on his desk. Joey blushed a little and looked into the azure blue eyes of the brunet man. The color of those piercing blue eyes were nearly hypnotic, and Joey fought to keep his mind out of the gutter.

Joey was surprised to see a slightly surprised look on Kaiba's face while he pushed Joey back a little until he nearly lay on his desk. Joey put his arms back to keep himself a little up and mumbled, "I thought ya just wanted to show me my tattoo."

Kaiba smiled devilish and asked innocently, "What else do you think I'm doing?"

Joey looked into his hypnotic blue eyes and saw Seto lift his own right leg over his shoulder causing Joey to blush. He felt his member getting harder and blushed even more. Joey felt Seto's hand touch the inside of his leg and move it slowly higher up towards Joey's most private area while those hypnotic azure blue eyes held his own eyes captive.

Once Kaiba's hand was all the way up he moved his hand a little over the skin there, grinning. Joey looked down and whenever Kaiba moved his hand, he saw part of the tattoo. Not the whole one, just the head and part of the neck of Kaiba's freaking dragon. "Why isn't that dragon black?" Joey asked, still fighting to not get anymore aroused then he already was.

"Because it's mine," Kaiba answered proudly and still moved his hand over the tattoo, close to Joey's member…much too close for Joey's taste. He moved his hand further back and whispered seductively, "The dragon tattoo starts all the way back there." And his hand touched the skin right under Joey's butt and then moved slowly along the inside of his leg, much too close to Joey's already half erect member. Joey had to bite the inside of his cheeks again to stop himself from moaning. He could already taste the metallic flavor of his own blood. "You're enjoying this," Kaiba whispered seductively and sounded much too smug for Joey's taste.

"Just shut it," Joey mumbled and tried to push Kaiba away a little. "I want to know one more thing." Joey looked into Seto's eyes, which where still much too close to him to really feel comfortable. "I want to know why you did all that in the first place."

"Can't you figure that out by now?" Kaiba asked in a whispered voice that caused Joey's skin to get Goosebumps all over.

"I think I can," Joey answered, "but I still want to hear it from you."

Kaiba looked into Joey's slightly flushed face. "I didn't believe that there was another way to force you to give me a chance. I thought that if I offered to let you get it annulled you might be willing to go on a few dates with me first. I never knew that free food might work too."

Joey looked at the smug smile on Kaiba's face while he felt his hand move along his leg again, slowly moving closer to the dragon tattoo. Hard by now, Joey wanted more. He had dreamed about what it had been like during that first night. He had wondered a few times how big Kaiba might be and still had no idea since he had only seen Kaiba's backside when he had pulled down his own pants for a moment. Joey blushed a little more and mumbled, "It wouldn't have worked." He saw Seto look at him, slightly upset, but he still touched him the same way.

"Then why are you still letting me touch you now?" Kaiba asked.

Joey moved one arm around Kaiba's neck and pulled himself closer to the brunet CEO and whispered, "Because you were nice." Joey looked into the surprised face of Kaiba and chuckled at the look. Joey had never thought that it could be so easy for him to surprise him. "I mean you were mean to use the fact that I was totally wasted and seduce me while I was drunk, but you paid for the room much longer than you needed and I started thinking about you after finding the tattoo on my back and all." Joey watched Kaiba's surprised look and gave him a kiss before he whispered, "I want to be with you more often. I want to know what it's like to date you, so you get what ya want. But I also want to take it slow," Joey added and wanted to move Kaiba's hand away gently.

Joey didn't get around to even trying to push his hand away though. Kaiba's lips where touching his within less than a second after Joey said those words and Kaiba's hand moved from the tattoo to Joey's arousal, trying to coxing a moan from the blond who couldn't find the will to stop his new lover any longer. Seto's lips felt to good on his own and the hand around Joey's member soon caused him to moan in pleasure. Seto was quick to use that fact to plunder the blonds mouth with his tongue, coxing another pleasured moan from the blond who enjoyed the coffee taste of his lover's talented mouth. It didn't take long until Joey was so lost in the pleasure that he wouldn't have noticed if the world around him came to an end.

A little while later Joey sat slightly exhausted on Seto's lap on his big chair and looked into his blue eyes for a long time. "What are you thinking about?" Seto asked after awhile. His hands where still traveling over Joey's naked skin, touching the KC tattoo on his back over and over.

"I was just wondering about something," Joey mumbled with a slight blush. He wasn't sure if he should ask that question right now.

"And about what?" Kaiba asked curious while looking into the slightly flushed face of his beautiful, but unfortunately still slightly reluctant, husband.

"If you planned it all, I mean getting married and so on," Joey mumbled without looking into Kaiba's eyes for the moment. "How come I didn't have a ring when I woke up?"

Kaiba laughed a little and pulled Joey closer to himself. "You had one for a little while," he said, "but you nearly lost it a few times because your fingers are even more slender than I thought. You gave it back to me to have it adjusted in size."

Joey saw Kaiba lean to his desk and open a drawer while he said that, then he got out a little ring from it. Joey looked at Kaiba's hands and noticed just now that he was wearing a ring too, a silver ring with a small black line going around in the middle. There was also one blue stone on that line that was between two red ones. Kaiba moved the ring over Joey's finger and it fit perfectly. Joey looked at it for a moment but then he frowned and took it off again. "I said we take it slow okay." He put the ring in his pocket and planed to find some cord or something to wear it around his neck for now. He wanted to make it clear to Kaiba that he wouldn't behave like his husband right away, even though he would stay married to him, at least for now.

"What are you doing?" Kaiba asked clearly upset that Joey didn't keep the ring on his finger.

"I might be technically married to ya," Joey pointed out, "but I never really agreed to marry you, at least not while I was able to make such a decision."

Seto let out a deep sigh while Joey stood up from his lap and started to get dressed, clearly to the disappointment of the young CEO. But while Joey got dressed he saw Seto look at his watch and start to get dressed again himself with another sigh. He probably had a meeting or something. Once Joey was done he looked at Seto for a moment and said, "Well, I'll be off then. I'll see ya around."

"And when?" Kaiba asked, still looking upset.

"Don't know," Joey answered honestly-he hadn't thought about that yet.

"How about I invite you out for dinner?" Seto suggested with a smug grin. "Since you like free breakfast so much I assume that a free dinner might please you just as much."

Joey blushed a little but then he mumbled, "Fine, you know where I am so just pick me up. I'm too lazy to walk."

"I'll be at your place at around seven if that's okay with you," Seto suggested and still smiled his smug smile while he moved his arms around Joey's waist to give him a little kiss before he would have to let him leave.

"Okay," Joey mumbled after the kiss. "I'll be ready."

Next chapter Joey will talk to Mai about Seto's explanation and if you want to know how she'll react to that you'll only have to wait till tomorrow and then Seto will show up to pick Joey up for their date while Joey is still talking with Mai instead of being ready. Will Seto wait patiently for him to finish?
