Chapter 3 Easy love?

Seto laughed silently and pulled away. Maybe he should make Joey more comfortable? Without another thought, he removed Joeys' shoes and socks before setting them on the floor at the end of the bed. After putting the towel back into the bucket, he went to removing the rest of the clothing. When he lifted Joeys' shirt he saw the beginning of a six pack.

"A shaped mate. No wonder," Seto grinned. Continuing to remove the shirt, he tossed it on the dresser across the room and then began to unbutton the blondes' jeans. A strange urge to touch what he was not supposed to almost overpowered him, but he stopped himself. He was gay alright. In all his centuries, this in the first time he´s ever wanted to pleasure/fuck a male. Grumbling, he unbuttoned his own jeans a bit, before continuing to remove Joeys. The male sighed heavily as Seto slid the jeans down the boys hips and off his legs. Plain red boxers were left low on his hips.

Swallowing, Seto resisted the powerful urge to do something reckless. Putting the towel back on Joeys' forehead, he then removed his shoes, socks and shirt. Joey was much tanner than Seto, of course. Setos pale skin was more natural, not even because he was vampire, seeing as Yami's tanner than Seto, also.

His jeans still felt tight, so he removed them and sighed, dark blue boxers hiding his arousal. Without much thought, he sat down next to Joey in the bed. It felt odd being half naked with another male in the same bed, like they had gotten drunk off their asses during a party and had ended up here.

Pondering that thought he suddenly felt a hand touch his back. Seto stiffened at the warmth and turned to Joey. That same hand grabbed Setos' hand and pulled him closer, trying to hug him like a stuffed animal.

"Hhhm…" Joey whispered, pulling on Seto, causing the older man to chuckle. Seto wondered if he deserved to be lucky enough to have such a cute mate. Leaning against the headboard of the bed, he let Joeys' arms wrap around his waist. Joeys' warm skin sent bolts up Setos' spine. He passed his fingers through Joeys' dirty blonde hair and studied the male. Joey stretched and rubbed his head against Setos' torso, tickling the vampire. With a chuckle, Seto watched as Joey got comfortable.

He could get used to this.

"Mmh…" Joey moaned as he started to wake up. Seto blinked away his sleepiness and looked down to see Joeys' head lifting. 'Shit. This will be hard to explain,' he thought. "What a nice, strange, dream…" the blonde yawned. "Guess that night was a dream." Then Joey rubbed his neck, the side with the 2 dots, but he didn´t feel them. Shrugging, he sat up and then finally noticed the body next to him. Slowly, he turned towards the form, eyes widening.

"Hello, Puppy," Seto smiled rather cheerfully. Joey yelled and rolled out of the bed, hitting the ground with a thud. In a rush, he quickly stood up and stared at Seto, who was trying to hide his shaking shoulders from silent laughter. 'Boy, he´s going to feel that later.'

"What the fuck are you doing in my bed?!" the blonde shouted, his hand on the knee he had fallen on. Seto scratched his head, sitting up.

"Bet you don´t ask that every morning."

"But, how?! Did we…?" Joeys' eyes widened even more, his injury seeming to escape his mind. Seto tried not to laugh at the blondes' facial expression, he almost didn´t succeed.

"I brought you home. I've been following you for a while, and no, no we didn't," he answered, leaning back again and smiling. Joey was rather fun to tease and laugh at. Face glowing red, Joey tried to speak, but failed. He finally took a deep breath and looked to the man in his bed.

"Then…Then why are we both half naked?" Joey mumbled nervously, staring at Setos' body, cheeks aflame.

"I thought you'd be more comfortable. Did, by the way your face looked while you were sleeping, seem to be the right thing to do. You see, you´re my mate, but we haven't "mated" quiet yet," he said, making air quotes with his hands when he said mated. "By the way, I hope you know you´re gay, too. I was surprised to find out I am," the brunette sighed. He watched as Joey processed this. Grinning, he saw the boy quickly fix his boxers, which were still a bit low.

"Um, Okay. I know I´m gay, I've known since I was 15. Your mate? And that dream…actually happened? You´re a vampire…?" Joey asked quietly. Seto then noticed how he didn't seem uncomfortable being half-naked with him. Or he assumed, for Joey wasn´t rushing to put clothes on.

"Yep, and you ask too many questions. My turn. Do you remember my name?" Seto asked as he stood up and leaned against the wall. Joey frowned in thought. "Don´t tell me you forgot, puppy." Seto teased, a smirk on his face. Joey glared at him and then looked up at the ceiling in deep thought.

"Seto…Kaiba?" Seto nodded with a small smile. The blonde made an 'o' with his mouth, remembering part of what happened last night with a blush.

"The one and only."

"Wait. So we´re mates? You can´t possibly think I'd believe that," Joey scoffed, letting out a nervous laugh. Seto began to walk towards Joey, causing the blonde to back up, obviously afraid of what he was going to do. The brunette chuckled deeply and brushed his bangs back from his eyes.

"There's nothing to be scared of Joey," Seto whispered. One second he was 5 feet away from the boy and the next he had Joeys' back against the wall, holding the blondes' hands above their heads. Seto realized that their heights weren't too far apart.

Joey gasped when Seto pushed a leg between his and licked his ear. "Ahh..!" Joey gasped again as the brunettes' lips gently pushed against Joeys. Seto slide his cheek against Joeys, feeling hot breath touch his neck. Cool and warm skin met each other in an exciting moment.

"Do you feel it, Puppy?" Seto questioned seductively. Joey moaned when Seto pushed his chest against his own. Nodding, the blonde squirmed. His blood felt hot under his skin and his mind was completely clustered. Why did he feel so weird? This man was doing something to make him feel this way, right?

Seto began to get aroused as Joey continued to move under him. He smirked, and made his way down to Joeys' neck, leaving butterfly kisses along his way. The tan skin was hot and he could hear the blood rushing through Joeys' body, urging him even further. The brunette could practically taste the sweetness of the blood in his mouth already.

"Are you…going to do it again?" Joey squeaked. The brunette hummed against Joeys' throat in response, causing Joey to stretch his neck out from the odd feeling.

"Do you want me to?" he asked heatedly. Either way, yes or no, he was going to do it. The blonde tasted way too good to pass the opportunity. Joey nodded and breathed heavily, tilting his head for Seto. "You like it. You´re very accepting, Joey Wheeler," Seto commented, licking Joeys' neck.

"Mm! At least this won't be a one night stand like the others," Joey moaned.

Seto stopped dead; his canines not even an inch away from Joeys' skin.

"What?" he growled. Setos eyes hardened as he pulled away. "Does the term "mate" mean anything to you?" he asked, searching Joeys' eyes. Joey shivered, words struggling to be heard.

"I-I don't know how your kind works! But when I finally find someone, they're gone the next morning. They fuck and go!" Joey exclaimed, tears beginning to form around his eyes. Seto didn´t move, and only stared at Joey. The blonde let his head fall and Seto frowned angrily. Letting Joeys' hands go, he gently drew Joey close to him, hugging him. It was his fault.

He was stupid. He had been watching over Joey this whole time, and hadn't noticed shit. Those men that had been coming into the apartment for the past 2 months had played with Joey. Seto had thought that they were just friends coming over to have a drink, or play some game system.

"I'm sorry, Joey. I saw all of them walk into your apartment each weekend, and I didn´t figure it out. If I've had known, I would have stopped them. I would of ended your sadness earlier." He whispered, squeezing the blonde. Joeys' sobs retreated a bit and the younger man looked up at the man embracing him.

"So you really have been stalking me? But you didn't go as far as any other stalker would have…" Joey whispered, his eyes glossy. Seto shook his head, his own heart clenching at the sight. He wanted to find those men and kill them all. Without regret, he would do it.

"Don´t worry Joey. This is definitely not a one night stand," he assured him, his eyes locked onto Joeys. The blonde sniffed, mixed emotions clearly seen in his misty eyes. "And I´ll track them down and kill them if you wish it so," Seto said through gritted teeth, sure thoughts and images of the killings running through his mind. Joey let a small smile fall on his lips.

"No, don´t bother. It´s fine. Thanks for the offer though," he whispered, a laugh escaping his mouth. Seto smirked at the sight. There would be no problem with them being mates. He was falling. And he was about to hit the ground with this human with him.

"No promises," he replied, the urge to protect overcoming him. He wasn´t going to let this human out of his sight from now on. Gently, he kissed Joeys' shoulder and felt the boy shiver. When Seto lifted his head and stared into Joeys' eyes, the blondes widened.

"Why are your eyes blue, Kaiba?" Joey asked quietly. Seto smiled in response.

"I have no idea, but I believe we're on a first name basis, Puppy," he answered kissing Joeys' cheek, tasting the drying tears. A blush crawled over Joeys' cheeks.

"Puppy?" Joey smiled weakly. "That´s not my first name, Seto." Seto felt a tremor go through him when he heard his name. Joeys' voice made his name sound amazing.

"Mmhm, it should be then," Seto mumbled as he nipped at Joeys' neck. 'Maybe falling in love with each other was easier than I thought.'
