Chapter 2 Puppy Found

Joey gave a weak half-smile. "Nice to know my killer, eh?" he whispered. Seto laughed in response, shaking his head.

"Nah, you´re not going to die." A confused expression crossed Joeys' face. "I think I´ll keep you for a bit," Seto smirked, licking his lips. His eyes lost their red glow and went deep brown again.

"Oh…Great," Joey managed to say before passing out. Seto sighed, gently setting Joey down.

"After tasting him, I´ll never let him go. Good thing I know where he lives," he grumbled. He slung Joeys backpack over his shoulder and picked Joey up bridal style. Man, he wanted to drink from him again. Seto shook his head and studied the blonde. He was about mid 20´s, dirty blonde hair, with honey brown eyes. Seto licked his lips yet again and headed off towards Joeys apartment. Instead of running and jumping like any other vampire, he walked there, savoring Joeys' body touching his.

Maybe he´ll play with this one. He's never played with a male meal, but there´s always a first for everything. Plus, he couldn´t seem to stay away from Joey for very long. He has been following Joey for a month or so. It´s kind of like when Yami had stalked his mate Yugi… Seto stopped dead. It´s exactly like that. Is Joey, his mate? Yami and Yugi are both males, too…

Seto cursed and continued walking. To think he´s gay! He´s never felt anything for the males, but he was, too, attracted to this one. He´d call his cousin, Yami, when he reached Joeys apartment. If Joey is truly his mate, he´d have to turn him or something. Yami never explained what he and Yugi did. Probably cause it was kinky or of the like.

Crossing the next street, he pondered over how he would break it down to Joey. Seto didn´t find it much of a problem to have a male mate. Yami made his work, even to where he got Yugi prego somehow! Of course, there was a problem. Love.

Seto doesn´t "Love" Joey as far as he knows, or vice versa, but he was always told to never let your mate pass you by, by his mother. Maybe something will spark? But that´s in movies. Seto sighed, if Joey was a female, this would be so much easier. Even the prostitutes Seto fed on seemed to fall for him. He´d pay them like any other person, fuck 'em, pleasure and all, and feed. Seto erased their memories of the feed part, but he knew they loved his pleasure the most. Especially when they completely forget about having to paid, but of course he paid them. He didn´t deny them money he had no use for.

It´s pretty strange to think that he's gay after all this time. Of course he had always wondered how being gay worked, so he asked the only person he knew that could tell him. Yami tried to explain gay sex to him, but Seto ran out before he could finish. It was too kinky, even for him. His cousin had laughed at him and told him to be more open-minded, never know who your mate could be. His cousin's such an asshole.

He looked down at the blonde and brushed his cheek with his thumb. Joeys' mouth twitched and Seto chuckled. He was cute. Seto brushed his lips across the blondes' forehead, causing a sleepy smile to cross Joeys' face. The brunette shook his head as he reached the apartment, opening the locked door with the extra key he had stolen a week ago.

After locking it behind him he went to Joeys' bedroom and laid the man down. Seto questioned on how to treat the blonde. He put the back of his hand on Joeys' forehead, his cold hand meeting hot skin. Joeys' eyebrows furrowed and Seto pulled away.

"How do I cool him down?" he asked thin air. Thinking back to when his mother taught him about humans, he remembered fevers. He stood and went to the bathroom next door and searched for something useful. He found a bucket next to the shower and a small towel on the sink. Putting cold water in the bucket from the faucet, he soaked the towel and went back to Joeys' side. Placing the bucket on the floor next to him, he fished out the towel and wringed it out before placing it on Joeys' forehead.

Setos' brow furrowed and he stood, "I never did understand how humans' health worked." Glancing at the clock that was on the side table, he pulled out his phone, walking back into the living room.

"Cousin?" a drowsy voice had answered the phone after 3 rings. Seto rolled his eyes.

"Yeah. So you know when you told me about how I'd find my mate?... I did," he muttered, throwing himself on the small couch.

"Really?" Yamis' voice began to clear. "Yugi! Seto found his mate!" Seto heard Yugi laughing in the background. "So, who's the lucky feller?" Yami asked, mischief in his tone of voice.

"This guy I´ve been following, Joey Wheeler…Wait! How´d you know it was a male?!" Seto half shouted, remember the sleeping body in the next room. His cousin chuckled.

"Heh…Well, I can't brag but I do have an amazing mate."

Seto sighed and felt a vein around his forehead pulse. Yugi had somehow got a future seeing power, but it was completely random and not very clear.

"That's bragging, you asshole," Seto growled.

"Huh? Oh, I guess it is. Anyway! What´s happened?" Yami asked.

Seto looked through the doorway to the bedroom and saw Joey still asleep. Grabbing the coaster off the coffee table in front of him, he fiddled with it as he told the nights' events. When he finished he tossed the coaster in the air and caught it. He continued to do this as he heard Yamis' voice.

"Ah, I see. Well, when he accepts you I´ll tell you everything you need to know, but 'til then you need to get to know him better, cousin," Yami said. "I told you to listen to me when I was-."

"Yeah, yeah! Gay sex, blah blah blah! I've got it, Yami. Shouldn't be that different from straight sex…" he grumbled, but he knew that he had no idea what he was saying. He could practically see Yami grinning.

"Don´t kid yourself. It´s better than you think. Have fun! Bring him over when you've explained it to him!" Yami exclaimed as Seto heard another body moving in the background. "I've got a mate over here that needs tending to." Seto heard boyish giggling and then the call ended. Shaking his head, he set the coaster back in its' place and stood. He could see Yami smiling and saying, "Don´t knock it 'til you try it!" He shook the image from his mind, bothered by his asshole cousins' smartass-self.

Putting his phone back in his pocket, he made his way back to the bed where his sleeping human laid. "He's like a buff chick with male body parts?" he thought aloud. "Eh, he looks cute anyway." Rolling his eyes, he found himself wondering what the man looked like under those clothes. The brunette shook his head at his dumb thoughts. It was way too early for thoughts concerning raping his mate. Not to add that he had never raped/fucked a male in his entire lifetime.

But it sure sounded like fun. Joey stirring dragged him out of his mind and he reached out and caressed Joeys' cheek with his thumb. Joey smiled in his sleep and his head leaned towards Setos' hand.

'It's like petting a puppy.'
