'It's because what?' Kaiba looked at the blond, who was fast clamming up. Joey's palms began to itch, and beads of sweat were forming on his head. His throat went dry and he bit his lips.

'Look, Kaiba…' He started, but the icy glaze was freezing him. 'I didn't mean it like that, it was a reaction, I didn't mean to say it, I didn't even mean it.' He looked to the brunet, who was carefully studying the blushing face.

'How many people have you kissed before.'

'None…no men.'

'None, or not men.'

'No men. Defiantly no men. You weren't my first kiss if that's what you was insinuating.'

'Sure about that?' The blue eyed boy brought his face dangerously close to Joey's, making him sweat even more, and visibly swallow.

'I…I'm sure.' Kaiba's eyes narrowed.

'I'm not so sure. Who did you kiss?'

'Er, just some girl?' Joey sounded as if he was trying to convince himself more.

'Her name?'

'S..Seto, I can't remember.' He faltered slightly.

'You're nervous.'

'No, you're just putting pressure on me.' The brunet brought his face closer and tilted his head to stop their noses banging.

'Would you like it if I put pressure on you?' he almost whispered, his eyes looking deeply into the blond's.

'I…I…I…'

' Tell me puppy, who did you kiss?'

'Um…' With that Seto closed the tiny gap, pushing their lips together for a long moment before pulling apart. Joey hadn't moved, and all the air in his lungs was sucked out.

'Feel familiar?' Seto grinned, keeping the gap small. Joey, shocked, just nodded, raising his fingertips to his mouth again.

'I…I…I have to go.' Joey whirled around and ran to the door, straight to the entrance and out of the mansion. He ran all the way home, the sun fading fast in the twilight sky. He never stopped running for air or from the pain in his legs and chest. His heart had been beating manically since the kiss, and it began to seize in his chest, tightening and crippling. He felt sick in his stomach and when he finally reached his door, he flung it open and slammed in behind him, sinking against it. His cheeks were damp with salted water, something that had not happened in a long while. His throat was rasp and his lips still tingled from that kiss. Kaiba had took not only his first kiss the other day, but everything else too. But he'd be damned to let the brunet find out. Tears steamed more and more and he pulled his knees to his face, holding them tightly for comfort, praying the shame would end. He didn't even like men.

Seto had chased Joey to the door in the living room, before giving in, knowing it was pointless trying to catch up with the blond. Even though he was taller, Joey was a fast runner and built with more muscle. Trying to catch up would be fruitless, especially as he didn't know where he lived. It would be a cat and mouse race that he couldn't win. The time had been moving slowly, and Kaiba wasn't sure what to do. For the first time in ages, he'd cancelled all of his appointments giving the entire night free to the blond, who he was starting to think about more and more. One option, he thought, would be to do the paper work that he told the blond he had. Of course he had no intention of taking legal action, he knew the boy wasn't so reckless. It was a reason to invite him over, to get to know him more, but that hadn't exactly gone to plan. He was usually much better at getting what he wanted out of people, so to find out that something went wrong…it was infuriating. He needed to think of a way to get the blond into his bed again. He didn't like men, but he wasn't massively fond of women.

He never had time for relationships, or ever found one worth finding time for. He had publicity stunts, but it never meant anything. He'd never kissed anyone, but no one needed to know that. He was hot, sexy and rich, if it got out, no one would believe it anyway, hell he was Seto Kaiba.

He picked up a small bell and rang it twice, the maid from before came in, and bowed.

'Take all of this away, I will be retiring to my office for the night. Please bring me some coffee. Thank you.' With that, he stood up, took his jacket and left to wander the dark halls of Kaiba Mansion. Every step reminded him of his past. His parents, Gozaburo, Mokuba who he fought so hard for. The card tournaments that he had ultimately lost, the many times he had had his heart broken before it could even thrive. The business deals, the arguments, the fights, the accidents, everything flooded to him as he walked to his office. He was a bastard, he knew it was true, but with a past like his, who could blame the man? He worked hard for everything he had, and even harder for his brother. Despite been rich and famous, the most admired man in Domino, something was still missing. He didn't know what it was, but there was something captivating about Joey that seemed to fill it. He didn't know how, and he didn't know why, but he was sure if he could see the blond again, he would be able to work it out, after all, that's what Kaiba's are good at.
