Chapter 5 Getting to know him
They slept for a while, spooning in Joeys' bed. Seto could barely keep his eyes shut though, for far too many thoughts ran through his mind. 'Has he officially accepted me? I should ask when he wakes up. But isn't that odd to ask? Do I take him out on a date or something? Like what humans do?' His head was killing him. His mother hadn´t informed him about this topic before she died. 'I´ll just ask Yami then,' he decided.
Careful not to wake up his mate, he got up, still naked, and found his jeans. He looked for his boxers and clothed the bottom half of himself. Buttoning his jeans, he walked back to the bed and kissed Joeys' cheek, watching as a content smile crossed the blondes' face. "Cute mates make everything worthwhile, I think," he said quietly, grinning.
Grabbing the cover that was at the end on the bed on the floor, he covered Joey, worried for his health. 'I need to find those books mother gave me…' he thought with a furrowed brow. Walking out of the room, he passed through the living room to the kitchen.
"Humans need food. Food is like blood for vampires, but for humans," he said, repeating words that his mother had told him. He walked through the door and looked around. A fridge, 2 cabinets, a sink, a stove with an oven and a counter. Making his way to the sink, he cleaned himself up and dried off with the small dish towel that was on the counter. Seto frowned when he went to set the towel back, for he saw a trail of ants crawling over the counter, up the wall and to the first cabinet. Opening the cabinet to see its' contents, he met a strange sight.
Cheese balls.
Cheese balls covered in ants, actually. Seto facepalmed and then picked up the half eaten bag. Looking for the trash can, he felt some of the ants crawl onto his hand and he switched the bag to his other hand, shaking the hand covered in ants. Finding the bin, he tossed the bag into the bag of trash and turned to the fridge.
Opening the small fridge, he saw some paper bags, most from fast food restaurants, a ketchup bottle, store bought sushi, a carton of eggs and a 3 liter bottle of soda. The brunette sighed and scratched his head. "Well…He's a junk food eater…with a six pack. The luck?" he said aloud, closing the fridge. When the outside of the door came into view his eyes widened. There was a picture frame magnet on the fridge. The image contained Joey, in a high school uniform, with 2 other people. Joey looked about in his 2nd year of high school. Taking the frame off the fridge, Seto stared at the boy standing next to Joey. Amethyst eyes, purple, black and gold colored hair, tiny body and chubby cheeked. Yugi was next to Joey.
'Yugi knows Joey? Joey knows Yugi? What?!'
Shaking his head, he put it back on the fridge, completely ignoring the chick that was in the picture. Before he could forget, he dug in his pocket for his phone and pulled it out, walking out of the kitchen, and back into the living room. He had to talk to Yami and Yugi, Seto had more than just a few questions in mind. Calling Yamis' cell, he waited in the living room, studying the floor design.
"Hello?" a young voice answered.
"Yugi, where´s Yami?" Seto asked, not bothering to greet him.
"He's napping, but I'll go get him, Seto," Yugi replied, and Seto heard Yugi set the phone down and run off. The brunette sighed, 'Since when do vampires take cat naps?' Tapping his foot quietly, not wanting to wake Joey, a long silence passed.
"Seto! How'd it go?" a voice said suddenly. Seto rolled his eyes.
"It went fine. I've got some questions for you though," he replied, sitting down on the couch.
"Alright, shoot 'em."
"You already knew who Joey was, right?" Seto started, leaving the phone on his shoulder, so his hand was free.
"If I said yes, you would kill me, so I´m going to say no," Yami replied, clearly grinning. Closing his eyes with a sigh, Seto leaned his head back.
"I´m guessing you already knew it was Joey from Yugi, correct?"
"As I said, I have an amazing mate," he replied with a chuckle. "Alright cousin, Joey and Yugi went to high school together. When Yugi had told me his vision, he said that you were standing with Joey, but there wasn´t a background. He said it was pretty clear that you guys were together, so there´s your mate Seto," Yami explained. Seto nodded to himself.
"Okay. Well. I believe he accepted me. Kinda," he began, glancing at the bedroom door. He suddenly felt the urge to be next to Joey.
"Kinda? As in he said yes and no, or what?" Yami tried to get him to simplify.
"Kinda as in, we…played around," he finished, flinching when he heard Yami break out in laughter. He had seen it coming, but it´s not like he could have done anything about it…
"I get it! So no mating just yet, but you guys are getting there, huh? I´m going to take a wild guess and say that you really enjoyed it more than you had thought, hm?" Yami said, beginning to get on Setos' nerves.
"…Yes…But I still need to know-," he didn't get to finish because Yami was yelling at Yugi.
"Yug', Seto likes being gay! I win!" Yami shouted, his voice filled with glee. "I won, so let's make those cookies!"
"Fine, fine, Yami," Seto heard Yugi say.
Cookies. The only human food that most vampires love.
"Hey, leave some for me, asshole," Seto said, a fan of Yugis' baking. Yami snorted.
"I was going to, but since you said it that way I won't."
"Immature," Seto replied rolling his eyes.
"Look who's talking," Yami replied with a laugh. "Of course there will be some when you get here. So any more questions? I´m sure Joey's waiting for you."
"He's sleeping right now. Yeah, what's the best restaurant you know?" he asked picking the phone up off his shoulder and holding it to his ear.
"Hmm, a date restaurant, huh... I´ll send you a text with the directions," Yami said in a rush before hanging up.
"Hey!" Seto half shouted, but the phone fell silent. "Fucker wanted cookies." Getting up, he put away his phone and went back to the bedroom. Joey was still asleep, but was hugging a pillow now. The brunette smiled, and went over to sit next to Joey. Brushing his hand across Joeys' forehead, the blonde stirred. Seto slipped inside the covers next to the blonde and sighed. He had a feeling that Yami wasn't going to send those directions.
"Seto…" Joey mumbled. Seto drew closer to Joey and kissed his lips.
"I´m here, Puppy," he whispered against pink lips. Joey snuggled closer to him, a serene smile on his face. Hugging his mate, Seto closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep, his mind going back to problems he hadn´t thought off earlier. Problems that Joey would get sucked into. He could only hope that his past wouldn´t come back for him and his cousin.
