Chapter 16

Joey was nervous as he reached the dragon's lair as he now called it. It looked old fashioned enough that much was sure and since Seto Kaiba aka his dragon lived there it was a good nickname for the place in his opinion. And at least as dangerous as a real dragon's lair might be. At least for him. It was only the second day of this one month test run and he was starting to go from not caring about the jerk to maybe giving him a chance since he felt some funny feelings towards him. If his dragon kept up with the speed that he was going at in their relationship, then he would have him wrapped around his little finger by the end of the week rather than the end of the month.

He hadn't connected Seto yet since he was worried about him really cutting down on work for his sake. He hoped that Mokuba would be home if the dragon was out and he could play a few video games with the kiddo to pass the time till he came home.

A maid opened the door and he asked her if one of the brothers was home since Seto was expecting him but not this early. It was just about 6 in the evening and he had left to make his extra protection in the evening look more convincing.

"Master Kaiba is still at work at this time but the young master is at home." She said letting him in. Everyone in the mansion had seen the blond with the master of the house the day before and had also heard by now that they had spend some time in the master's bedroom alone. No one knew for sure what they had done since there was the master's new gaming system that was coming out, but still rumors inside of the house were spreading. But no one dared to talk about it, as they would lose their job as soon as their boss found out. He hated rumors in his house but if they were to ever reach someone outside it, it would mean the loss of their job and he would usually make sure that they never found another.

Once inside she asked him to wait a moment while she announced his arrival to the young master and left him standing in the entrance hall once again wondering how someone could live like this. After a short while Mokuba came running towards him hugging him and saying, "Seto mentioned that you might come sometime tonight but I didn't think it would be this early, I'll phone Seto and tell him to come home."

"Don't kiddo, I'd rather wait and play with you until he is done with his work, I don't want to be a distraction for him." Joey said quickly before Mokuba had a chance to even pull his mobile phone out.

Now the younger man looked at him thinking about it but then he said with a smile, "Fine but only if you tell him that you told me not to phone because otherwise he's going to kill me and second you have to play some games with me, because he also would kill me if I'd let you get bored."

Joey smiled and said, "Don't worry I won't let him get mad at you because of me and you know me and games so show me what you got, I bet you own every new game there is right?"

"Hey with my big bro it would be a shame if I didn't have them." The young boy grinned and went to his room with the older, asking the maid to inform his brother that Joey was with him as soon as he walked in.

But by that time Mokuba was asleep and Joey was reading some books in the library he had found. It was past 11 at night when Seto walked in looking pissed and he complained, "Why didn't you phone me like we had agreed upon?"

Joey looked up at his angry looking dragon but just smiled and said, "Because you said that you'd make time for me and since I didn't want that I waited here without telling you and played with Mokuba, by the way he wanted to phone you but I told him not to do so."

"Why can't you give me a real chance? Because this isn't a chance if I only get to spend time with you when we're asleep!" Seto complained hoping that he didn't sound whiny to the other. But he had agreed to give him a chance and he would make dame sure to get a real chance at catching him and not let him slip through a bloody hole in the net.

"I do, but I don't want you to spend less time at work because of me. And to prove that I'm giving you a chance I can offer to come here every night during this month. My dad will be covered. He thinks that Mokuba's worried for you and is begging me to spend some private time here to keep an eye on you." Joey said to stop his ranting.

But Seto didn't really look pleased. He liked that Joey would stay every night of course as he had already hoped to get him to that point but not had dared to ask it flat out in advance yet and rather wanted to ask for one night after the other. But he really didn't like that Joey hadn't told his father like he had first said he would. His father seemed to know the most about the blond teen since he was the only one to know about the bodyguard thing. But he had gotten around telling even him and if he broke up after this month no one would know they'd ever been dating at all and that thoroughly pissed the CEO off. It would make a break up too easy for the blond.

"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" Seto demanded to know.

"Oh right cause it's so easy to do 'Hey dad listen I'm going to spend a few nights with my arch rival because I got talked into dating him before I could dump him again so I let him try to fuck enough brains out of me to stay with him,' sure he'll let me walk right into your bed." Joey said earning an even worse death glare for the way that he had put their relationship.

Still there wasn't much that he could do about it now so he just grumbled, "And you call it a chance when that's what you think about what's going on?" Seto asked .

He only earned a, "Sure since I STILL came even after what I think, to give you a chance to prove me wrong." from the blond. And he had to admit that he had a point in that. Most wouldn't give him a chance if that was how they thought and Seto hoped that he didn't really believe it to be like that. After all he would blush so often and smile and grin at their fights, especially when he was winning and pissing him off by that.

Seto gave another sigh. He would have to get him on a date out in the open, and since that had been one of his distractions during his work day he already had a plan. He took the book the blond was still holding to see what he was reading about and noticed that it was a book about the history of classical music. Seto was more then just a little surprised at seeing it in the blond's hands.

"Classical music?" He asked "I thought you were the night club kind of guy."

"Sure am but I went to so many concerts for work related reasons that I sort of noticed that I do like piano and violin music a little." Joey said with another blush on his face. It was something that he had never told anyone, not even his father. He secretly hoped to one day learn how to play one of the instruments but even so he feared that since he wasn't a kid anymore he would never get past average standards at the most.

"If you like this sort of thing how about I take you to a concert?" Seto asked earning a stern look from the blond.

"You can't and you know why." The little blond reminded his dragon.

"Oh I can I just would have to call your boss and ask for Katsuya's attendance to a classical concert that might be raised as a topic at a business dinner that is to come and that might get canceled last minute so I might decide to go alone. Of course I would like to get your permission to take Katsuya on a date with me." Seto grinned, he had him now and he knew it.

Joey looked at him for a moment before saying, "Fine like I said whereever whenever as long as no one finds out I'm doing it for this month." And he couldn't fight the smile that was blooming on his face. He was looking forward to the concert but still added, "Still don't decide how I have to dress apart from girly, I'd rather choose if it's hot or not."

"Deal." Seto said grinning. He had gotten him on a real date and on top of that he would have him with him every single night for the whole month. How could it be better in consideration of taming the wild wolf? He had named him and gotten a name from him, and he had him coming home to him at the end of every day and would get to 'play' with him in the form of dates on some days as well. And all that for a whole month. One month to prove that he didn't just want to fuck his brains out to get him, one month to show him how it was to be with the wealthy CEO that could go with him whereever he wanted and give him everything he could wish for. The only thing missing was that he still couldn't tell anyone about it and to make a break up harder by the end of the month it would be so much better if some people knew about it. So far it was only Mokuba if you didn't count the rumors that were now sure to get even worse with the blond spending every night at his dragon's lair. And for the first time he regretted to always have been so tough on the rumor punishment, because if someone would let this one slip it might help him since it would be out by someone else and so he couldn't be blamed.

But then again, the month had just started so he would have plenty of time later in the month and he already had some private detectives on the case to find the man behind the killer. And once that was out of the way he would get rid of the bodyguard arrangement and find a way to let Joey's friends find out, by accident of course.

For now he took the blond's hand and walked with him towards his room, intending to not let it go too far to prove that he didn't want sex all the time. Even so it would be hard to keep his hands off of his perfect body, that unfortunately was dressed in the typical outfit. Nothing different or special about it, he hadn't dressed up for him, at least not yet.

Once they had reached the bedroom Joey asked, "By the way, how come I didn't get in trouble for skipping yesterday?" He hadn't even noticed how Seto had kept this part of the deal but he obviously had.

"Easy, I'm Seto Kaiba, I ask I get. I just phoned our teacher after you left yesterday and told her that I was apologizing for not getting around to inform her in advance but I had need of a reasonable good duelist but not a perfect one, to test the new gaming system. I also said that the one assigned to test the system had been indisposed, so I had to use you as a step in and it had taken all day so we both had been absent that day. It was fine since I needed it for my company." Seto explained offhandedly and Joey just thought, no wonder he's THAT spoiled. If eventhe teachers are kissing the fucking floor he walks on.
