Duke answered his phone quickly.

'Yes?' He looked around him.

'Uh, Hey Duke, It's, Um, Joey.' Confused the black haired boy began to speak

'Joey? Are you ok? You don't usually call me…'

'Oh, I know, I'm sorry, but I was kinda wonderin' sometin.'

'Oh?' The black haired boy raised an eyebrow, wondering what the honey eyed boy could possibly need from him.

'Um, do you want to...erm…go on...a…you know…a date…with me.' He added the last part a little quieter than the rest. Silence fell on the phone line. 'I mean…you don't have ta or anythin'. It's just a suggestion n stuff I won't be offended and I really don't wanna pressure you and…'

'…I'll pick you up at 8.' The phone went dead. Joey let go of a breath he didn't know he was holding. His heart was racing. He had a date…with Duke Devlin. After school had finished, he was ready to race home, get ready and go out with the black haired beauty. Then it stuck him. He had just turned down a night with Yugi to see Kaiba tonight. Now he had made plans with Duke…what was the blond to do now. He flopped into his history seat as the other class members arrived.

At the end of the day, Joey caught a glimpse of Kaiba leaving the school through the gates. He raced to catch up with the brunet, stumbling a few times as he did so.

'Kaiba!' He yelled but to no avail. 'Kaiba ya bastard look at me when I'm fuckin' yellin' at ya!' The brunet paused in his footsteps and turned around on his heels to look at the messy blond. 'I can't be at yours tonight.' He panted through breaths. 'I have to see someone…' He looked around, before glaring up into the big pools above him.

'That's not an option, puppy. I'm sorry, you'll need to come with me.'

'No, ya see…' Joey felt a hand snake around his waist, he looked up to see Duke standing next to him, his eyes narrowed at Kaiba.

'Kaiba. He's with me tonight. He can't come and do your dirty work, besides you have a company to run, I'm sure that's more important to you.'

'I believe you have a company too.'

'Yeah well, I can trust my staff enough to take a night off, you on the other hand…'

'Wheeler is coming with me. That is final. He has some important…paperwork to do.'

'Paperwork? God you're exciting Seto.' Kaiba's eyes narrowed at the familiar term.

'I never said you could call me that.' He glared at the cocky boy.

'And I never said you could steal my date.'

'Your what?'

'Date Kaiba. Look it up, maybe if you wasn't such a giant ass, you'd get one.' Duke raised an eyebrow and Joey looked at the lightening cracking between the two boy's eyes.

'Er, Guys?' He tried to make sense of what was happening, but it was no use. The two were locked down in a staring contest. Both were powerful…sexy…men. Joey felt himself swallow as he glanced between the two.

'Well.' Kaiba finally said, looking at Joey. 'If the mutt thinks hanging out with some androgynous cat is more important than passing school, I perfectly understand. Hell, I know dogs love to chase after cats.' He looked to Duke. 'They play with them a long time before they tear them apart.' Duke's eyes narrowed toward Kaiba.

'Oh I get it.' The green eyed boy smiled. 'You're jealous. You want Joey all to yourself and now you're pissed because he asked me out.'

'He asked you out? I find that hard to believe.'

'It's true Kaiba. I phoned him after lunch.' Joey looked around nervously and Duke pulled him closer, not taking his eyes of Kaiba. Some sort of emotion flashed across Kaiba's eyes. It went unnoticed by everyone but Joey. The blue eyed boy felt a burning sensation in his stomach, but chose to ignore it. It was likely the lack of food from the previous few days.

'And just why would you do that mutt.'

'Maybe I like him?' Joey cocked his head.

'I thought you were straight.'

'So that means I can't like Duke?'

'He's a man, you know that, right?'

'Hey, it's not my fault I'm hot.' Duke cut in, and Kaiba rolled his eyes before staring at him.

'You're not. The mutt just has bad taste.'

'Hm. Is that what you call it?' Joey looked at Kaiba. 'I happen to think Duke is extremely good looking, and I think we could have a lot of…fun…together.' Duke gave a wicked smile while Kaiba's eyes shot open.

'Do what you want, mutt, but I warn you. This project will be done by Friday, and you will participate. The paperwork, will be done tomorrow, and you will not stop me.' Kaiba turned and strode off towards his limo, and Joey let out a sigh.

'Jeez, what an ass.' Duke said. 'Telling you what you can and can't do, what is he, your mother?' He took Joey by the hand. 'I'll drive you home so you can get ready. We'll start our date early.' He squeezed the blond's hand and led him to the car. Joey felt his heart sink slightly after thinking about Kaiba. He was supposed to feel better that he was with Duke. Duke was still an ass but he was a damn sight nicer than Kaiba. Hell, the green eyed guy could almost rival Kaiba's looks. Almost. So why did he feel so empty inside? So lonely. He should be exciting, waiting to have the time of his life, but he wasn't. A lump came to his throat and his eyes began to burn.

'We're here.' Joey looked at Duke, who gave his a light kiss on the cheek. 'I'll pick you back up in an hour.' He smiled as Joey got out the car, gave a quick wave, and drove off.

Joey put his hand to his cheek where Duke had kissed him. Nothing. It didn't tingle. It felt hollow and guilty. Joey turned his back to the road and walked towards his apartment. He felt a warm sensation touch his cheek. Maybe he was wrong about Duke. He raised his finger tips to touch it, to discover the wetness. His eyes leaked more at the realisation. He took a few shaky breaths and closed his door behind him. He ran to his bed and buried his head in his pillow before the tears fell freely. He cried for 20 minuets, fisting and tearing at his pillow, before he noticed the time and knew Duke would be back soon. He swallowed hard, collected a large towel, and walked to the bathroom. He turned on the shower and stood under the weak flowing water. The water had no temperature, it just fell, giving him almost no sensation. He stood under it, gently rubbing his skin with his hands, the touch tingling lightly. Thoughts of Kaiba crept into his head. Images of the brunet touching him in the shower built up. Joey moved his hands to his fantasy, gently running them along his cheek, his jaw, his chest and finally his dick. Slowly, he took a hold of it, and stroked slowly, allowing his head to loll back.

'Kaiba…' He whispered quietly, only the fantasy in his mind could hear him. He began to pump faster and faster, his grip tightening. He bit his lip, becoming breathless at the mental image of the soaked brunet in his shower, touching him, caressing him. He felt the touch get faster on his hardened member before gasping out as he finished. He opened his hazy eyes to watch the remainder of his efforts wash away. He slicked his hair back under the water, before coming to a slow realisation of his fantasy. His chest tightened. He didn't like Kaiba. And he defiantly didn't like him that much. He pulled the towel from the rack and began to dry off. He gently ran his fingers through his hair as he dried it, taking no special care to brush it. Unsure of what to wear, he pulled on some ripped jeans and a dress shirt. Looking in the mirror, he smiled. Maybe Kaiba would think he looked good. He bit his lip. It wasn't Kaiba who was coming to see him. He pulled on his shoes and headed for the door and out into the street where Duke was waiting to take him away.
