Hi again! Woot woot! Another update! Three in a row! I'm on a roll! :D
I've been getting some awesome reviews from you guys. Oh, and don't worry, I don't speed this up, as far as I remember. By the way, this fic is about 7 chapters long.

Okay... please read, enjoy, and review! Thank you!

Chapter 3

Joey was late again to class as he ran into the quiet classroom and went straight to his seat. But there was a problem already.

"How nice of you to join us, Mr. Wheeler." The teacher said from her desk. Joey turned around to face him.

"S-Sorry... busy... time." He muttered and turned to face his desk again. "You're in my seat."

"I beg to differ. I am sitting here, therefore making it my seat." Kaiba responded.

"Joseph, you may take the seat behind Mr. Kaiba." The teacher supplied, "Now sit down and stop interrupting." The blond sighed, complied, and sat behind the 'angry jerk'.

10 minutes later, when class was over (yes, he was so late there were only ten minutes of class left), Joey attempted to sprint out the door, but was tripped by a familiar-looking black shoe.

"Oops." Kaiba said mockingly. He then smirked and left the classroom without another word.

"Kaiba," Joey warned, "I'm gonna get you back for this! Just you wait!"

After school, the blond decided to walk to the pier in order to forget his troubles. He'd been completely pissed by Kaiba all day long. First, the tripping him, then, he found his locker trashed and he knew Kaiba did it; next, somehow the school newspaper got hold of a baby picture of him naked in the bathtub with his rubber ducky. He wasn't sure how Kaiba would have gotten that but he knew he did it. Joey was so infuriated with him all day, even his friends annoyed him right now.

The sun was starting to set and he finally felt calm after hours of reminiscing and thinking about Serenity. He was happier now, so he went home.

Meanwhile, Kaiba was napping cozily in the unknowing blond's bed. But he wasn't just napping, he was dreaming:

It was dark outside but the moon was shining. Kaiba and Joey were sitting on the balcony, stargazing and cuddling.

"You mean a lot to me, Seto..."

In his sleep, Kaiba said "You mean a lot to me too, puppy."

"WHAT THE HELL?" Kaiba's eyes flew open immediately. "KAIBA? HOW—WHAT—WHY—?" Jou stuttered, confused.

"I—I—I have no reasonable explanation." Kaiba mustered.

"Well you better think fast before I call the police."

"I don't know what to tell you. I don't know what you want to hear." Kaiba said, still a bit sleepy as the former gangster motioned toward the phone. The brunet moved quickly toward the blond to stop him.

(Okay. Let's pause for a second.)

Right now, (remember the story is paused so their positions are paused too) Jou has his hand on top of the phone, but hasn't grabbed it just yet. Kaiba moved quickly and now his hand is on top of Jou's hand, which is touching the phone; meaning if their hands are touching, then obviously Kaiba is really close to the Joey at this point. Okay? Get it? Alright then, let's proceed...

As soon as the shorter boy realized their position, he looked straight into the other's eyes. He seemed entranced by them, as he saw different things flash through them. Five seconds later, however, they were still standing mindlessly, and mutely, staring into each other.

Another ten seconds later passed. Joey finally found himself and softly said, "Let me go." Kaiba moved his hand, allowing the blond to back away—from the phone—from the room—from Kaiba...

"I—I am sorry I fell asleep on your bed. I... thought I saw a... spider when I was passing by. And..." he invented wildly. "I'll... just leave." He stalked out of the room. Joey remained in the same spot, staring at the place Kaiba was two seconds ago. He heard his front door open and close, letting him know he was alone again. He sorted through his thoughts aloud.

"I've been running into Kaiba a lot lately. First was when I found him watching me sleep from behind that one tree, then he was in my seat at school...there was also that mysterious note that was left stuck to his locker that simply had the picture of a dog drawn on it. I wouldn't have thought it was him, but I think I just heard him say something about a puppy." He paused. "...but I really didn't expect to see him here...I mean, who would? And how'd he get in anyway?" He eyed his open bedroom window. "Is he serious? He climbed through my window?"

Meanwhile, Kaiba was once again standing close to his window, listening in with a frustrated look. Joey just couldn't put two and two together, and it drove Kaiba insane.

Alrighty. I hope you liked this chappie and I'm hoping to update either later on today or tomorrow. Oh! And please tell me if that author note was distracting or not and I'll delete it if that's the case. I just wanted to explain their positions at that moment. Anyway, please review! Have an awesome day!
