By the time he sat down and took out his pen, the English teacher walked in. Noticing the blond's fluster, he grinned.
'Mr Wheeler.' Mr Brannon walked towards the desk. 'You will be handing in your presentation first.'
'Ummm…'
'And.' He paused. 'I want you to read it out loud.'
'Nice going Mutt.' Kaiba glared from across the room. The boys stood up and walked to the front of the class, throwing menacing glances to each other all the way.
'Um, our project is on…War poetry.' Joey bit his lip. Kaiba shook his head and glared.
'The mutt and I, mainly I, compared the similarities and differences between 4 popular war poets from British history as well as the context that it what written in.' Kaiba passed Joey a sheet of paper,
'Um, we looked Anthem for Doomed Youth, Wilfred Owen, Family Secret by Vernon Scannell, The Soldier, Rupert Brooke and Suicide in the Trenched by Siegfried Sassoon.' He shot a look to Kaiba who simply nodded. Joey began reading from the paper Seto had given him, stumbling over a few words. After around 5 minuets Mr Brannon looked at the blond.
'You can sit down now, boys.' He looked rather disappointed, having expected a bitter failure from the pair.
He took the sheets from them and collected the papers from everyone else, and began to mark, setting the class an evaluation task. The class was rather uneventful aside from the start, and the end couldn't have come soon enough.
The boys ignored each other successfully for the rest of the day with the exception of their usual arguments and glares. By the time the final bell went, Joey was exhausted.
As he left he felt a tug on his arm.
'Joey!' Duke smiled. 'So, tomorrow night?'
'Um…'
'And just what is happening tomorrow night?' a dark, velvet voice brushed their ears.
'Oh, Kaiba. It's only you.'
'Only me? Watch your tongue, dice boy.'
'Ah whatever. I'm having a conversation with Joey. You aren't involved.'
'No?'
'No. Now get lost. You probably have work to do.' The green eyed man stared.
'You want to tell me what you are doing tomorrow night, Mutt?' Seto glared icily.
'Uh, well…'
'He's spending it with me you ass, now get lost. This doesn't concern you.' Kaiba narrowed his eyes dangerously, who the fuck was this guy talking to.
'It does now. The mutt actually has plans that night.'
'Oh and how do you know that?'
'That,' he glared, 'does not concern you, Devlin.'
'I think it does, when you're making plans for my date.'
'Your date?' Joey looked around frantically. Not that he minded having two beautiful rich guys fighting over him…he just felt awkward having already slept with the one who had recently become his boyfriend. And no one could know. So eventually he'd have to decide. And he didn't want to wait around for that.
'Well.' Duke smirked. 'Why don't we just let Joey decide.' Too late.
'Um.' Joey scratched his head and grinned. 'Maybe I'll just spend the night alone with a stack of pizza?' He smiled nervously, waiting for the moment to pass.
'LIKE HELL YOU WILL!' both the CEOs shouted before continuing their rant. Joey had had enough and decided to leave. As he did, Duke caught his arm and pulled him into a deep kiss. Joey's eyes widened, his body tensed and his heart froze. This, was not going to be pretty. He felt the black haired boy smirk across his lips, before pulling him closer. No sooner had he done that were the lips pulled away. Joey stood, wide eyed, as Kaiba threw Duke to the ground.
'What the fuck, man?' Duke got to his feet. 'What is your problem?' his eyes narrowed against Kaiba's. 'Do you fancy him or something?' a flash of hatred span through Seto's eyes.
'No. I do not fancy the mutt. I don't even like him. I just hate to see disgusting displays of affection.'
'What, displays like this?' Duke again pulled the blond in, the time kissing close to his lips, and groping the blond's ass. Joey quickly pushed him off.
'Duke…people are watching…' Joey whispered.
'Like hell they are. Let them see.' He leant back in. Joey, unsure of what to do, just stood there. He wasn't about to hit one of his friends for no reason, so he put his hands in his pockets, and tried his best to look nonchalant. As the scene progressed, Kaiba had already neared in on the boys.
'Have you finished, Devlin?'
'Mmm?' with that, the brunet hit the green eyed boy.
'Don't fucking try to piss me off, Devlin. You will regret it.' The tall boy turned on his heels and walked to the limo. Joey stood frozen to his spot as Duke got up rubbing his head.
'That guy is a massive ass. I feel sorry for whoever has to deal with him.' Joey's heart sank.
'He's a bastard, but I guess he can't be all bad.'
'I think you guessed wrong, Joey.' Duke squeezed the blond's shoulder. 'I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6.' He smiled before sauntering off.
Joey raced home. He had to see Kaiba. He suddenly felt bad for the days events after how nice the brunet had been that morning. After he got home, he slung on his ripped jeans and a white shirt before dashing over to Kaiba Mansion, hopefully unseen by anyone.
Upon arriving, Mokuba opened the door.
'He's upstairs, Joey.' Mokuba frowned. 'He seems pretty pissed off though, so watch your back.' The blond nodded thanks before heading to the blue eyed boy's room. Upon arriving at the doors he heard smashing and crashes from outside the door. Nervously, he knocked.
'WHAT?' Came the yell from inside. Had Kaiba lost it?
'Uh, It's me…Joey.'
'Fuck off.' Joey was taken back.
'Yeah well tough.' The blond pushed the door open to see glass shattered on the floor along with papers, files and anything else breakable. 'Woah…time of the month or somethin' Kaiba?'
'I told you to fuck off, Mutt. I don't want to see you.'
'Geez, what's your problem?'
'You. You're a fucking bastard. Now get out of my room and off my property before I phone someone.'
'Me? What the fuck have I done!'
'You kissed HIM.'
'Duke?' Joey looked puzzled.
'Yes, you stupid mutt. Now get out. I don't have time to deal with low lives like you.'
'He kissed me!'
'And YOU didn't stop him. Did you?' Kaiba's voice grew louder, 'DID YOU?'
'WELL WHAT THE FUCK AM I SPOSED TO DO KAIBA? OH SORRY DUKE, DON'T KISS ME, I'M WITH KAIBA?'
'NO BUT YOU COULD PUSH HIM OFF, SOMETHING! WE'RE MEANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP!'
'SOME FUCKING RELATIONSHIP IF WE CAN'T TELL PEOPLE!'
'THERE'S A GOOD FUCKING REASON!' Kaiba took deep breaths, his face red with anger, the blond in similar state.
'Nothing would happen. What's the worst?'
'I could loose my company and everything I worked for. Have you done?'
'Well, I'm sorry moneybags, but I don't see it logical to push the guy who I asked out off me for no reason. I didn't kiss back.'
'But you let him kiss you.'
'If I did anything else it would look weird.'
'You really are stupid.' Kaiba ran his hands through his hair, his heart beat slowly returning to normal. Just then Mokuba came bounding through the doors, he paused slightly at the mess before running over to the TV.
'Seto!' The raven-haired boy looked afraid. 'You need to see this.' Seto walked around the TV. There on the main news channel was a picture of himself, and an image of Joey running into the mansion.
'Executive lover of CEO?' was the headline. Kaiba's blood pressure shot up as he ripped the TV down and threw it against the wall.
'GET OUT!' he screamed at the blond.
'What the fuck? I didn't do anything!'
'You fucking told them. Get out.'
'Kaiba...I…'
'OUT!' Joey glared at Kaiba one last time, shielding tears as he stormed out of the mansion, slamming the door.
'Mokuba, my lawyers. On the phone now.'
Hey everyone
Sorry I meant to post more today, but it's been a disaster and I have an interview tomorrow. I'll try my best though! My stats are broken too. It's not telling me how many people have been on. Highly upset at this!
Anyway I hope you like it, the story is coming to an end!
R&R
Much love
