Note: I'm gonna try to make these next few chapters a little sweet. :)

Seto was determined. He knew that his heart longed for his Puppy and if he had to be one of those over the top romantics, he would do everything. Even if it meant going to extreme levels. He wanted to show Joey that he changed and became a better person day by day.

"So, where is this art show slash jazz festival? " Seto asked.

"It's downtown. So you wanna go? " Joey asked.

"Of course, I wanna go. " Seto said cheerfully.

"Let's go! " Joey said.

They walked around. Downtown was a short distance. Seto could've easily called his driver, but he wanted to spend that time with Joey.

They walked downtown. They saw a gelato shop. He noticed that Joey kept staring at the gelatos.

Seto smiled and took Joey inside the shop.

"So, Puppy... What's your favorite flavor?" Seto crooned.

"Why don't we get a Strawberry Champagne flavored gelato to celebrate that our reunion?" Joey said cheerfully.

"You've read my mind, Puppy." Seto said.

They both got a Strawberry Champagne gelato and made their way into the art show/jazz festival.

It was night time, and the place was decorated with Christmas lights and chained light bulbs. There was a jazz band playing outside.

Seto and Joey were admiring the art.

"I can tell that this artist used pastels, watercolor, and gritty gesso for this piece." Joey said.

Seto was impressed.

{Flashback}

Joey was very talented. He was a great musician, singer, artist, dancer, actor, and he even did a little bit of modeling back in high school. Art and music have always been his passion, though. Joey played the guitar and the violin very well. Seto was teaching him how to play the piano in high school, but he forgot a lot of what he learned. Joey was a great painter. He could paint portraits of people and they would look like a picture taking by a professional. He also drew very well. He once mad a sketch of Yugi dueling against Marik. Yugi and Marik's faces were perfect, and the details on the monsters were precise. And he always drew Seto. Especially in Math class. Joey sat on the table next to him and he would always be sketching him. He was surprised that he even passed his math class because he would spend the whole lecture sketching Seto. At home, he would sketch Seto wearing different clothes every day. Serenity even stumbled upon the sketchbook and found a sketch that Joey made of him. Unfortunately for Joey, and for Serenity, Seto was naked in the sketch. Serenity would always blush and giggle.

"I see you have a thing for Kaiba!" She would often giggle while flipping the pages of Joey's sketchbook.

"Hey! Give it back, will ya?!" Joey would shout

"I wanna see! Do you have any of Tristan?" Serenity giggled more while moving away from Joey so he wouldn't take the sketchbook away from her.

"Gib' it back and go look at my paintings, man!" Joey said.

Serenity ran into Joey's room to go see his paintings.

He unveiled a painting of Tristan (Don't worry... He was fully clothed.) and gave it to her.

"Here... I know ya got a crush on him." He said. He had also given her a small sketch of Mokuba. Serenity and Mokuba dated when Seto and Joey started to get along (They would go on double dates), but broke up later because they both decided that they were better off as friends. It was a painful breakup for both of them, but their friendship healed the wounds. Serenity remained as Mokuba's best female friend. And Mokuba was Serenity's best male friend.

"By the way... How did you get Kaiba to get naked for you?" Serenity asked.

"Uh... It's a long story..." Joey said sheepishly.

"Uh-huh... Are you sure you two didn't have sex?" She asked.

"Serenity!" Joey shouted and blushed.

"Bingo!" She shouted.

"Shhhhhhh!" Joey said.

"How was he?" Serenity asked him playfully.

"Why do ya wanna know if I did it or not?" Joey asked. "Plus, you're not 18 yet!"

"Joey, we know you like Kaiba. The whole fucking school does! Mokuba and I know! And Yugi caught you two once and cried for three days straight because he was traumatized. He saw Kaiba caressing your left nipple while he fucked you and it scared the living shit out of Yugi." She said.

Joey blushed.

"He must've been dreamin'!" Joey said quickly.

Serenity gave him the "You can't fool me" face.

"Ya know I don't like dat language. Wait till ya'r 18 to drop F bombs, will ya?" Joey continued.

Serenity laughed.

"Ok big brother..." Serenity said. "Was his size-?"

"Tisa'a busat" Joey said. (Means nine inches in Arabic)

Serenity raised her eyebrows. "Oh shit!" She thought.

"Fuck... She understood!" He thought.

"I don't blame you, Kaiba is pretty hot. Mokuba too. But Kaiba is an asshole. " She said.

"Yeah... Well, I can't say anything about Moke because he's not 18 yet. But Kaiba... Yeah! But that's not why I like him... " Joey said.

{End flashback}

Joey giggled after he told Seto the story.

"Baaaaad Puppy... " Seto said as he smirked.

"How'd you even pass math? " Seto asked.

"Yugi did my homework for me. As long as I drew him some naked girls and made sure dat Tea didn't find out. " Joey said.

Seto raised an eyebrow.

"Don't worry... I didn't get a rise out of them... " Joey concluded.

"Ok... So that's why you and Mokuba were watching the bikini women's channel that one time! " Seto giggled.

"Yup. Just so I could draw shit for Yugi and babysit Mokuba to make sure he wasn't doing anything he shouldn't have done. "

Seto was relieved that his puppy wasn't going to replace him with a woman.

"So, how long are you gonna be in town? " Seto asked.

"Maybe two months and then I might go back. " Joey said.

"Oh... " Seto said with a sad overtone.

Joey faced Seto.

"Seto, I've missed you so much. I'm having a great time with you. I would like for us to spend some time together... If you want... " Joey said.

"Of course, Puppy!" He said cheerfully.

He wanted to kiss Joey, but had to fight the urge. He remembered that he and Joey weren't together, and he really didn't want to scare him away.

"I'll use this time that he's here to see if I can reignite the spark and hopefully be in a relationship with him again. " Seto thought.

Joey kept glancing at Seto's eyes. He would turn his attention to something else as soon as Seto would face him.

"If only those eyes could speak... Those beautiful sapphire blue eyes that I fell in love with in high school. I can't believe that I still love Seto. " Joey thought.

"So Joey..." Seto said in a loving tone.

Joey turned to him as he caught his attention.

"That song that you sang at the coffee shop... Did you write it? " Seto asked.

Joey smiled.

"I've gotta tell you, Pup. It was a very beautiful song. And your voice carried very well. You are very talented. " Seto said (in a very sweet voice)

Joey tried to hide the fact that he was blushing and that he was getting a little teary eyed.

"If only you knew Seto... I wrote that song just for you. " He thought.

"Did you write it? " Seto asked.

"Yeah. I wrote it and composed it. My guitar and I went everywhere in my mission trip. " Joey smiled.

Joey and Seto had a great time. Seto called his driver when it was time for them to go.

Seto wanted to invite Joey to the mansion.

Joey got a phone call.

"Hey Serenity!" He shouted cheerfully.

"Hey Joey!" She said. "Where are you? "

"Oh, I went out. " Joey said.

"With Kaiba, huh? " She sneered.

"Yeah, I'm with Seto. We hung out. " he said.

"Tell him I said hi. I ran into Mokie and Bakura and they were on their way to some concert. But hey, mom is waiting for you. We made dinner. Mom made dolmas. " She said.

"Ok. I'll be right there. " He said.

"Take some selfies with Seto and send them to me. " She said.

"Ok. Will do. " He giggled.

"Ana Bhebak. I'll see you, Joey" She said (Ana Bhebak means I love you in Arabic)

"Byyyyyyyeeeeeee" Joey said and hung up.

"Serenity? " Seto asked.

"Yup. She says hi.

"Tell her I said what up. " Seto said.

"So, I'm gonna have to go home, Seto. My mom is waiting for me. "

"No problem, Pup. " Seto said. He gave his driver directions to go to Joey's house.

Seto and Joey decided to take some selfies together (apart from the ones that they had taken during the festival.

They took a special one for Serenity. They both leaned into eachother, stuck out their tongues and pulled down their bottom eyelids together. The decided to send it to Mokuba too. They also sent random pictures of trees to Bakura. Why? They felt like messing around.

Seto decided to troll Mokuba and Bakura a bit. He and Joey took a selfie together and captioned it "We're gonna go see Cannibal Corpse with you! Save us a spot! :P"

He then got an angry text from Mokuba...

"Nii-sama, leave us alone! Don't you have anything better to do?"

"Damn! He took after you!" Joey laughed.

They have arrived at Joey's house.

"Joey, I had such an amazing time with you. Can we do this again?" Seto asked.

"Of course." Joey said.

"Are you free tomorrow night at around 6 o'clock?" Seto asked.

"Yeah. I'm free." Joey said.

"Would you like to go out with me at that time?" Seto asked.

"Absolutely, Seto Kaiba." Joey answered back.

Seto smiled.

"Ok. I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6." He said.

They gave eachother a hug.

"See you tomorrow, Joey. Have a great night."

"You too, Seto. Thank you." Joey said.

Seto really wanted to kiss him so bad, but he restrained himself as he did not want to lose Joey.

Joey walked in his house and Seto's limo left.

"Hey!" Joey greeted cheerfully.

"Assalamu Alaikum, Joseph!" His mother greeted him and gave him two kisses on each cheek.

"Salam, Ummi." He greeted back.

"Hey, Joey!" Serenity said.

"Hey Serenity!" Joey replied back.

Joey went to his room and got his guitar.

He took the guitar to the living room and started to play.

"You drive me crazy with that look in your eyes..." He sings

{Seto's music room}

Seto is also playing the guitar and singing.

"My stomach feels like it's full of butterflies.." He sings.

They were both singing the song that Joey sang at the coffee shop. Seto remembered it very well and could remember in what key it was played.

{Joey's house}

Joey finished his song and his mother approached him.

"That was a nice song. Did you write it?" She asked.

"I sure did!" Joey said cheerfully.

"You're talented!" She said.

"Thank you!" he answered back.

{Seto's house}

Mokuba and Bakura came back from the concert. Bakura was a little drunk and he was trying to sing the songs.

Bakura noticed that Seto was on the couch reading a book.

"Oh look, Crumpet! Seto is home early!" Bakura said with a slurred speech.

"You're back early, Nii-sama." Mokuba said. "Why?"

"Joey had to go with his family for dinner." Seto said.

Bakura giggled, and giggled, and burst into a loud laughter.

"So, are you meeting Joey tomorrow?" Mokuba asked.

"Of course." Seto crooned.

"Did you two kiss?" Mokuba asked.

"No. I think it would be too soon." Seto said.

"Did you two have sex?" Bakura asked.

Seto looked at Bakura funny and tried not to laugh.

"What's up with him?" Seto asked.

"One beer." Mokuba said.

"That's sad!" Seto said as he burst in laughter.

"He never drinks." Mokuba said.

"Oh..." Seto mumbled

"I want to bring him tomorrow." He continued.

"Isn't that a little too far?" Mokuba asked.

"Not really." He said.

Seto got his guitar and resumed playing Joey's song.

Mokuba and Bakura watched and learned.

"I think I'll write him a song!" Seto exclaimed.

The next morning came...

Seto pulled out his phone and immediately texted Joey.

"Good Morning! :)" The text read.

Seto went into the kitchen and found Mokuba and Bakura on the table.

Bakura's head was down. He looked very sick.

Seto made a face and pointed at Bakura as if he were asking what was wrong with him.

"He's hungover." Mokuba mouthed out.

"Oh!" Seto smirked.

Bakura moaned.

Seto had to run to laugh somewhere.

"Bloody hell... Babe, I'm not drinking any more beer ever again." Bakura whined.

Mokuba nodded.

"How many did I have?" Bakura asked.

"You had one at the concert, and then we both had about 6 here at the mansion." Mokuba said informatively.

"Ugh..." Bakura cried.

"It's ok, Kura." Mokuba said.

"You're not legal to drink yet, hon." Bakura said

"I don't care. I like to drink!" Mokuba smirked.

"How cute! You smirked just like Seto!" Bakura said.

"But my smirk is better!" Mokuba said.

Seto heard that and went back to the kitchen.

"No, mine is!" Seto smirked.

Seto's phone went off.

Joey texted him back.

"Good Morning, Seto! :)" the text read.

Joey attached a selfie of himself on his bed.

"How cute!" Seto crooned and blushed.

Seto took a selfie as well. He made the "cute" sign with his fingers, and Mokuba and Bakura photobombed it. Seto couldn't control the shutter and the selfie was taken.

He sent it to Joey.

"Bakura and Mokuba say 'hi'" He texted.

"I got this feeling inside my bones.." Seto sang out loud.

Mokuba and Bakura looked at Seto funny.

"I've got an idea." Seto said.

He ran to the music room and started to play his piano. He was playing (you guessed it...) Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake.

He sang it too.

Bakura was in the bathroom throwing up and Mokuba was dancing and giggling.

It was 4pm. Seto was in his room looking over what he was gonna wear.

Mokuba and Bakura barged in and sat on Seto's bed.

"We're gonna hang out with you, Seto." Bakura said. Mokuba was bopping his head to the music that was playing in his earphones.

"Mothafucka cuz the devil is a lie" Mokuba rapped.

Seto and Bakura looked at eachother and giggled. Mokuba can't rap for shit.

"You guys need to help me with my wardrobe! What shall I wear?" Seto said.

Bakura pulled out the earbuds from Mokuba and dragged Mokuba inside Seto's closet to look for clothes.

Seto pulled out a pair of skinny jeans and a black tank top.

"You guys don't mind if I change in front of you, right?" he asked.

"Nope. " Bakura and Mokuba said.

He wore what he pulled out.

"Keep the jeans. " Mokuba said.

"I'd pair that with a sweater and a scarf. Or something a little more form fitting." Bakura said.

Mokuba pulled out a ribbed white sweater and Bakura threw in a green scarf.

"Looking good!" Mokuba shouted.

Bakura smiled.

Seto finished getting dressed and ready.

"Ok guys. I am gonna go pick him up" Seto said.

"Good luck, tiger! " Bakura and Mokuba said.

Seto left.

"Oh man. I really hope that he and Joey get back together. Seto is almost at the age where he is going to have to settle down, get married and have children. That's his dream. He really wants a family. He's been talking about babies alot. " Mokuba said.

Bakura laughed sheepishly.

"When are we gonna get married and have babies or adopt babies, Mokie? I'm getting desperate here! " Bakura thought.

He stared at his ring finger and frowned at the sight of no ring on it.

"So, where do you want to go? " he asked Bakura.

"Anywhere as long as it's with you, honey. " Bakura said in a sweet voice.

"Ok. Let's go get dinner. We'll go in my Ferrari. Maybe take a little roadtrip and afterwards, we should have an adventure. " Mokuba said.

"In bed... " He continued as he crooned and winked.

"I like that! " Bakura said.

Seto was driving a nice purple Lamborghini (not like the Rick Ross song. Lol) to Joey's house. He was trying to think of things to do with him. He brought his guitar just in case. He also bought a rose for Joey.

He parked in front of Joey's house. He decided to get the rose and bring it with him.

He knocked.

Serenity answered.

"Oh, hey what up, Kaiba! I see you're here for Joey! " she said cheerfully.

"Hey Serenity. I sure am!" Seto said.

Serenity let him in. Are was listening to loud rap music. Seto tried not to giggle as he saw his prospective sister in law wearing a Biggie shirt that was 3 times her size, baggy pants, a chain and a big baseball cap with a sticker on it. It also had little marijuana leaf patterns.

Seto sat down and waited for his Puppy.

Joey came to the living room. He looked stunning.

He brushed his hair nicely, wore black jeans, a black tank top with a white overshirt and some black boots. He also wore a dog tag.

Seto stared at him. He liked what he saw.

"Oh man... "

"Damn, Joey! " Serenity said.

Joey took Serenity's chain.

"I'm borrowing it. " he said.

Serenity grabbed her chain back.

"No way!" She said.

Joey walked up to Seto.

"You look great, Joey. " Seto said.

"Thank you, Seto! You're looking great too. " Joey said.

Seto and Joey's instincts made them hold hands for a brief second but immediately let go when they heard footsteps.

Joey's mother came into the living room.

Joey stepped back.

"Hello. " She said.

Serenity leaped back.

"You remember Seto, right mom? " Joey asked.

"Yes, I do. Hello Seto. " She said.

"Hello M-" Seto said as Joey's mom interrupted.

{Scary! You be continued... }
