Joey stirred slightly, his eyes coming into focus. He could hear a light beeping sound. Gently opening his eyes he could see a bright light…fuck, had he died? As his vision focussed he could see Seto and Mokuba staring down at him. He tried to muster a confused expression, but it just hurt. Everything hurt. He turned his head slowly to see a blood bag, IV and everything else. Hospital. Second time in 2 weeks. Oh fuck.
'How're you feeling?' Seto looked down, biting his lip.
'Um, fuzzy? Which hospital is this?'
'It's Kaiba Castle private one.'
'Good.' The brown eyes lolled backwards, the lids closing over them. Joey took a few long breaths of relief. Eyes still closed, Joey muttered, 'What happened?'
OoOoOoOoOo Flash Back oOoOoOoOoOo
Mokuba darted through the front door,
'Seto! Seto!' He screamed through the house, searching for his brother. He saw a silhouette appear on the balcony, staring down.
'What's wrong?'
'It's Joey!' The younger called, before the elder Kaiba sprinted down the stairs, grabbing the keys.
'What's happened, where is he?' Mokuba started running to the car, explaining to his brother,
'We we're eating icecream, then this guy came who claimed to be his dad and then he started yelling and Joey told me to leave and…'
'Fuck.' Seto slammed the door, belting in, before whacking his foot on the accelerator. By the time they reached the park, it was too late. They had arrived moments after the blond had passed out, and there was no one to be seen. Not his dad, not a witness. Seto had immediately called for his own doctor and ambulance, and the blond was carried away from him. Mokuba had initially cried upon seeing the blood drained face, and the leaking red liquid over the grass. Seto himself had gone rigid from the bruises and cuts…who could do this to their own son? He himself had never suffered anything this bad. A small tear graced the corner of his eyes. But it wouldn't fall. He would be strong, because right now, Joey couldn't be.
It had been hours since Joey was in the operating room. Seto had paced around for the full 3, while Mokuba sat crying. Nothing cheered the kid up, not sweets or toys or anything.
'Seto, will he be ok?' The question caught the elder of guard. He nodded slowly, before taking his brother into his arms.
'I hope so, Moki, I really do.' He squeezed the younger, just as the doctor came in to announce the operations a success. He said that the blond would live, though he was very lucky from the blood loss and trauma.
As soon as they could the boys had rushed into see Joey. It hadn't been long before he had awoke, which was a massive relief.
oOoOoOoOoOo End Flashback oOoOoOoOoOo
Kaiba watched Joey's expressions as he finished explaining.
'So…you know then.' The blond exhaled.
'Know what?' Kaiba's voice echoed in the room,
'About my dad?'
'I always did. I tried to tell you. Now, what I do about it, is up to you. What do you want to do?' Joey's breathing stopped, what did he want to do?
