When you Play with Fire

Chapter 4: A Lesson in Love

Joey moaned as the passion from that accidental kiss began to take over him. The scent of cinnamon and coffee began to fill his nostrils as he inhaled the other's scent. The blond rested his hands on the brunet's chest and clutched his shirt tightly as the taller dominated his mouth.

Kaiba loved kissing his puppy very much. He's been waiting to do this for who knows how long. Joey's lips tasted of pure, sweet honey that satisfied his taste buds. Then he moved his hand to his puppy's blond hair which was soft and silky as he imagined. What he loved even more was the scent of apples coming from those blond tresses as ran his fingers through it.

When the taller pulled away, he noticed that Joey's face was flushed with his eyes as wide as dinner plates. Kaiba grinned at his puppy's confused yet adorable face, "Well, that's not exactly how I wanted to kiss you but that was rather nice."

Joey couldn't believe what he was hearing, "I dunno why you're not shocked at what just happened but…wait did you just say that you wanted to kiss me?"

"Yes, I do believe I did."

"Okay I don't…" Joey noticed that his hands were still on the other's chest and scrambled to get off of him, "I don't get it, why are you actin' like this all of a sudden?"

Kaiba sat up and ran his fingers through his puppy's golden locks, "I thought I'd covered that earlier, pup."

The amber eyed teen blushed slightly as he scooted away from the brunet, "Okay um…are you, oh I dunno, high?"

"Of course not, Wheeler; I've had these feelings for you for a long time. Why do you think I always tease you all the time?"

The blond pondered, "That's just it, I thought you hated me! If you really like me, why didn't you give me a sign or something?"

"I gave you plenty of signs, you just didn't notice." The sapphire eyed teen leaned in closer to the other gazing into those amber eyes he loved so much, "I always gazed at you when you weren't looking."

"Wait that was you...and Yug thought I was paranoid, Tch."

"So what do you say, pup?"

Joey turned to the taller with a confused look, "Bout what?"

"About you and I being a couple, you silly puppy."

"Whoa there, big boy! Um, in a weird way I'm flattered that ya don't have bad taste but don't ya think you're rushin' it a bit?"

Kaiba took the blond's hands in his and stared into his crush's eyes. Joey blushed at the sensitive, longing look the young CEO was giving him; he had never seen that side of the brunet before. "Look Joey, I've been deeply falling for you, everyday for the past three years and you honestly don't feel anything for me at all, honestly?"

The blond couldn't believe what was spewing out of his supposed-to-be rival's mouth. He turned his head to the side and lowered it to where his blond bangs covered his eyes, "Honestly, I've never really thought about it. I mean, we always…I'm not sure right now, okay?"

Then the puppy felt two hands hold his face and turn his head to the other, "Look me in the eye and tell me, what you really feel about me."

Joey blushed as he stammered, "Well, I…I…uh…well that is; uh…oh I dunno!"

"I see." Then a lustful look arose in the brunet's blue eyes. The amber eyed teen stared at the other with a weird look, "Uh, I know I'm gonna regret asking this, but why are you lookin at me like dat?"

Instead of getting an answer, Joey felt hot lips trail from his jaw down to his neck. The blond shivered at the other's touch. He moaned as he felt Kaiba nip at his neck, "Ugn, K-K-Kaiba, what are you…ah…doin?"

The young CEO pulled away from the other and gave a small smirk, "I guess I have to show how much I love my little puppy."

"N-n-n-n-n-no, that's not necessary!" the blond cried giving a nervous smile.

"Oh no puppy, I think it is." the brunet said seductively as he lightly pushed the blond.

Joey plopped on the bed then glared, "Hey, whatcha push me for ya big…!" Joey was silenced by a lean finger pressed against his lips, "Um, rich boy?" he muttered against it.

"Please don't taunt me right now, puppy. I've been turned on enough already." Kaiba said with those lust filled sapphire eyes.

"Who's tauntin'?" the amber eyed puppy asked. When the other moved his finger and captured Joey's lips with his again. 'No, not again; I can't take it! He's such a good kisser!" Then the blond's eyelids began to droop as he wrapped his arms around the brunet's neck. 'What the hell am I doin? Oh God, he's overpowering me!'

Kaiba smirked in the kiss as his tongue explored every inch of his puppy's sweet mouth. Joey was finally succumbing to him and he couldn't be happier. The brunet moved his hand under the blond's shirt caressing his chest.

Joey gasped as he pulled out of that hot kiss. The sapphire eyed teen looked at the smaller and asked, "What's wrong, puppy?"

"Your hand is cold." the amber eyed teen replied with a shy look and a slight blush across his face.

Kaiba stared for a brief second then smiled as he whispered in the puppy's ear in a hushed tone, "Then I'll just warm it up with your body."

Then he noticed Joey quiver in delight at his words. The young CEO began to play with his puppy's nipple with his lingering finger. The blond moaned softly as Kaiba ran his finger over his hardened nipple. More of those passionate moans escaped Joey's lips, "Ugn…ah…K-K-Kaiba…!"

"You're enjoying your master's touches aren't you, puppy?"

"You…ah…w-w-wish."

"Now don't be like that, puppy. You're completely aroused by these simple touches."

"You m-must…ugn…feel s-o-o-o p-p-proud."

"Yes, actually and I fell happy that you're here with me. Even if you rejected me now, it wouldn't matter at all."

Joey gave the other a surprised look. "Lemme guess, you're one of those guys that don't let go are ya?" he asked bluntly.

"When it comes to a cute puppy like yourself, yes."

The blond pouted his lips, "Okay buddy let's just get one thing straight, I'm not cute, I'm hot." There was brief silence till a soft chuckle echoed through the room. Joey turned to the other, who was laughing whole heartedly, "What, its da truth."

"I'm laughing because I thought I was the only one who thought that." the young CEO said between laughs.

Amber eyes stared at the other aimlessly as he heard the brunet laugh. He never witnessed Kaiba laughing like he was enjoying himself. 'I've never thought I'd see rich boy laugh like dat. Maybe Yug was right, he is human.'

The sapphire eyed teen ceased with his laughter and stared lovingly at his prize, "Do you know what I love about you, puppy?"

"No, but I got funny feelin you're about to tell me."

"And you'd be right." Then Kaiba ran his long, slender fingers through those golden tresses, "I love your blond hair and how soft it is at my touch."

Joey mewled in comfort at the other's actions. Then he felt those fingers move from his hair to grazing his cheek, "That creamy skin that is just waiting to be touched."

The blond blushed at the brunet's words. This was the first time he ever talked to Kaiba without trying to kill him. "I love you're fiery personality and how you're able to be yourself without ego getting in the way, your adorable laugh, those beautiful, golden amber eyes that melt my very soul." Then the sapphire eyed teen lightly grabbed his puppy's chin and stared into his puppy's eyes, "and I love those soft, honey tasting lips of yours that taunt me every time I gaze upon them."

After hearing the young CEO's true feelings, the puppy just gazed at the other till a voice interrupted his thoughts, "Well puppy, what do you say?"

At that moment, Kaiba felt soft lips press against his in a chaste kiss. As the blond pulled away, the brunet stared in slight shock, "Puppy?"

"I gotta admit I never knew ya liked me that much." Joey said as his eyes looked at the bed as his cheeks grew deep crimson. He played with the tail of his shirt as he continued, "Even though there were times we fought and I'd get annoyed with you, I couldn't bring myself ta really hate ya."

The brunet stared at his crush for a brief second then smiled as his puppy continued, "Little by little (even when I tried to deny it) I've grown ta…like ya. I mean you're hot and all but you're smart and you care for and protect Mokuba no matter what. So because of those feelings, I was kind jealous of you."

Sapphire eyes widened, "Of me? That's funny, I've always been a little jealous of you puppy."

"Really?" the blond asked.

"Yes and that's because you're so free; you're never afraid to express yourself no matter what."

"You're expressing yourself right now." Joey began, "Regardless of what we've been through, you told me how you felt about me; that took guts. Let's be honest, it would've taken me forever to."

Kaiba chuckled lightly, then asked again, "Be mine, puppy?"

"You bet." Joey said as he and his new lover sealed it with a kiss.

(Later on that day…)

"Seto, can I ask ya somethin?" Joey asked as he was laying his head on the other's lap.

"Sure pup, what is it?" the brunet asked as he ran his fingers through his love's hair.

"Besides get your suit ruined, was there another reason as to why you wanted me ta wear this outfit?"

"There are a lot of reasons as to why I wanted you to wear it, but it was mostly because I knew you'd look really sexy in it."

The blond shot up from his recent position and asked, "So that's why ya couldn't keep your hands off me or starin at me like you were gonna jump me."

"Well, I wouldn't say that I'd jump you, but yes."

Joey rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Tch…you are so full of it, you know that?"

"You know you love it." the brunet said lovingly as he placed a chaste kiss against his puppy's lips making the other giggle.

"I saw that you two." The two teens looked up and saw Mokuba standing in the doorway grinning wildly.

"Oh hello Mokuba." Kaiba said smiling innocently.

Joey began to panic, "M-M-Mokuba hey look I can explain; ya see…!"

"It's okay, Joey I already know that you and Seto are together now. I heard everything you've said." the young black haired teen said.

The blond stared at Mokuba in shock as he stuttered, "E-e-e-everythin?"

"Well, what you've said just now anyway."

As the blond blew a quick sigh of relief, Kaiba turned to him with a sly smile, "And what if he heard everything, pup?"

Amber eyes stared at the other in disbelief, "As an older brother, you should know that's too much stimulus for a kid his age!"

"He's thirteen years old, pup."

"So that don't mean anythin; it's better for him to remain innocent while still young!"

"Oh and I'm not innocent?"

"What do you think, man?"

Then they heard onyx eyed boy laugh, "You guys are so good together. You know Joey, if you didn't get together with Seto soon, I was gonna try to get you with him myself."

The blond stared blankly at the younger Kaiba, "HEH?"

The brunet smirked at his sibling, "Oh is that a fact?"

"Yeah, but I'm glad it won't have to come to that; congrats you two! Now I'll leave you two lovebirds alone so you can go on about your business." Mokuba said as he closed the door but then reopened it, "But don't be too loud, because I'm doing homework."

When the younger sibling left, Joey stared blankly, "Why do I get the feelin that he's smarter than he looks?"

"Well he is my brother after all."

Joey pursed his lips together, "...True."

Then a loving smirk came across the young CEO's face, "Now that were alone, why don't we continue where we left off." the brunet said trailing his fingers up Joey's arm.

"Geez Seto, how turned on can you get?"

"Puppy, take a moment to look at what you're wearing right now."

"Wha…" the blond looked down and blushed in embarrassment when he saw that he was still in the puppy outfit. He narrowed his eyes, "Oh right."

Then Joey felt those hot talented lips grazed up and down his neck. The blond puppy shivered in delight at the intensity of those kisses and those large warm hands caress his skin, "Ugn…oh, Seto…w-w-wait a sec…ah!"

"I can't wait any longer, Joey." Kaiba whispered in his ear in a lustful tone, "I'm about to lose control."

The blond felt the other's hot tongue lick the inside of his ear. Joey could feel his cheeks grow bright read at his love's touch. The sapphire eyed teen felt his puppy quiver at his touches. He smiled softly as he trailed kisses down the smaller's jaw, "Mm…don't be so tense puppy…mhm…I'll be really gentle."

Joey felt his shirt tail slide up his chest and up over his head knocking off the fake dog ears. His eyelids drooped as the taller's hot lips grazed his lean chest. Then he moaned in sweet ecstasy as his dragon licked his hardened nipples, "Oh…ah Seto…that feels so good!"

"I aim to please my little puppy." the young CEO said with a hint of lust in his voice. Then he felt Joey clutch his shirt and smirked, "Does my little puppy what to see more of me?"

The puppy nodded timidly at his love, "Uh-huh."

Without another word, Kaiba sat up and pulled off his black sweater. Joey stared aimlessly at how well-toned his dragon's chest was. He was so overwhelmed that he grabbed a nearby pillow and covered his face with it. Sapphire eyes widened at the blond's sudden action but softened as the he tried to get his puppy to let go of the pillow yet to no avail, "Come now puppy, don't be like that."

"I can't help it; it's just…just…"

"It's just what?"

"Y-y-you just look so gorgeous that its blinding." the embarrassed teen mumbled through the pillow.

There was a brief silence till a gentle chuckle interrupted it, "Why puppy, I'm flattered."

"Okay, you're seriously too full of yourself!"

Then Joey felt the pillow being pried from his face. Sweet amber met passionate sapphire as the brunet leaned in with a loving smile, "You'll get used to it."

A small smile grazed Joey's kiss swollen lips, "Well since I'm your puppy now, I might as well."

"I was hoping you'd say that." Kaiba replied as he and his puppy sealed it with a loving kiss.

(The next day at Domino High…)

As Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Bakura, Duke and Tristan were talking in the hallway by the lockers, they heard someone call out, "Hey guys!"

The group turned and their eyes widened as they saw Joey unharmed and smiling, "Not that I care but if Blondie was as miserable as you said Yugi, then why is he all giddy?" the former tomb robber asked.

"I was wondering the same thing." Yami added.

When Joey got closer to his friends, he noticed the strange looks they were giving him, "Um, is there a problem guys?"

"Well the fact that you're at school and not miserable or about to punch something shocked us." Duke said as the other's nodded in agreement.

"Oh yeah that, well it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be."

"Well I just hope you learned your lesson, Joey." Yugi said to his friend.

"Oh don't worry Yug, I did."

"Really?" Ryou asked.

"Yep because Seto said if I tried that again, I won't be able to walk for the next two days."

Joey's friends stood there with shocked expressions trying to take in what the blond just said, "Well I better get going before Seto has a fit trying to find me, later guys!"

When the amber eyed teen left, Tristan turned to the others, "Maybe I'm going crazy here, but did he just say what I think he did and not to mention saying Kaiba's first name and his in the same sentence…more than once?"

Duke nodded with widened emerald eyes, "Uh-huh, I think he did."

"Oh my God, my cousin turned Joey!" the crimson eyed teen added.

"It's about time." Bakura said.

"Hallelujah!" Yugi and Ryou cheered as the others stared at them blankly.

As Joey and Kaiba were making out under the stairwell, the blond thought he heard a faint cheer. "Did you hear somethin, Seto?" the puppy asked the other.

"No." the brunet said since he ignored it. Joey pondered on it a bit then shrugged it off. Then he went back to passionately kissing his dragon unaware that the first bell rung…not like he cared.
