Chapter 13- the date…finally

After being reminded about their date, Joey quickly left Seto waiting in the living room to get dressed. About 10 minutes later and Joey was looking himself over, making sure he was presentable enough to go out in public. After giving himself a little advice of how to be a perfect gentleman, Joey decided it was time to go.

Seto had been waiting patiently for Joey for 10 minutes…well actually he was going around attempting to steel anything in the Jonouchi Household that would have been touched by his lover. So with pockets full of chopsticks and a few photos of Joey as a child, Seto turned around to greet his lover as he entered the room.

Seto’s mouth fell open as he took in the gorgeous sight in front of him, Joey was simply breathtaking. In black trousers, a red silk shirt and a black tie Joey looked fantastic and for a minute Seto forgot to breathe. Joey just gave Seto a huge smile and after firmly taking his hand, led the way out of the apartment and to the perfect date that he had planned, nothing could go wrong…

Seto Kaiba was the C.E.O of a major Corporation and being the most eligible bachelor in the Japan meant that he was well-known. So when Joey and Seto got on the bus to go to the Cinema, Seto was surrounded by people touching him and begging to marry them. Joey was furious, Seto was his, and only he was allowed to be this close to him. After shooting glares at everyone that had gotten too close to the C.E.O, Joey dragged Seto off the bus and decided to walk to the Cinema to avoid anymore hassle.

However there was a little flaw in Joey’s plan, that being that fans are very persistent. More that half of the bus emptied in order to follow the Kaiba, and the other half being to ring all their friends and give them the exact location of Seto Kaiba and to bring any inventions in the hope that the C.E.O would invest in them.

“You do know they are still following us” Said Seto to a still pissed off Joey walking (stomping) in front of him.

“Yes, I know that dragon, but if we ignore them then they would go away” Joey replied whilst Seto just shook his head at his lover’s naivety. Seto knew that Joey was going to take him on a casual date; this meant that there would be no bouncers to stop the paparazzi or the rabid fans. So deciding to once again take control (without Joey’s knowledge or consent) Seto rang for his personal bodyguards.

Joey was too busy being angry, for not realizing what would happen if Seto was in public, to notice that the C.E.O was on the phone.

“Where are we going on the date puppy?” Seto asked Joey and once getting the details of a still angry Joey relayed it back though the phone. After ending his call, Seto turned to sort out the remaining problem –one angry puppy. Smirking Seto simply picked up his pace and wrapped his arms around Joey bringing him into his own body. As soon as Joey was in his arms, Seto began stroking his stomach to calm his lover down.

After 5 minutes of simply being held by Seto, not only was Joey calm, but his bones began to lose all feeling leaving Seto holding most of Joey’s weight.

“Are you better now?”

“Yea…thanks dragon” Joey smiled up at Seto and after giving him an Eskimo kiss, took his hand and began to slowly walk towards the nearest bus stop. It was crazy to walk all the way to the cinema as it would have taken them at least 2 hours.

As the bus came, Joey got in and looked at the empty bus. ‘Lucky’ he thought and with a grin paid for his and Seto’s bus fare. But before Seto walked on, he couldn’t help but notice that the bus driver. The man was huge and seemed as though he should have been a body builder instead of a bus driver. He wore dark sunglasses which added to the mysterious aura surrounding him. Shrugging off the feeling of dread Joey pulled Seto along to sit in the back of the bus and leaned his head on Seto’s shoulder.

Seto after giving a small nod to one of his muscles, currently being the bus driver confidently settled back in the bus with Joey sitting next to him.

“So, what film do you want to see?” Joey asked casually to Seto

“I don’t really care what film we see puppy” and with that Seto remained silent. Joey tried to make conversation a couple more times but like the first answer, they were all passive and indifferent. Joey sighed, but what did he expect. Seto was not know for his great people skill and Joey knew he would have to get Seto to talk to him more if this relationship was going to work. But after looking once more at Seto’s profile Joey knew that it would be worth it.

Ringing the bell for their stop, Joey and Seto made there way into the empty cinema. It was really weird for Joey not to see anybody in the cinema and made him unconsciously move closer to Seto. Not because he was scared…but to protect Seto *cough*.

Walking up to the counter, Joey came face to chest of another huge man. He seemed to have the same aura as the bus driver and Joey could clearly recognise it now. This was the aura of a man who would kill in cold blood and not flinch when he heard the screams. He was dangerous and Joey knew that it would be best not to agitate him. Gathering all his wit, Joey asked for 2 tickets to the next film, not even looking at what film they would see. Quickly making his way to the confectionary counter after leaving Seto nearby Joey went to order a large popcorn from another man with the same sun glasses and deadly aura. This was not Joey’s day, usually the people working in the cinema were friendly people, most of them teenagers wanting to get some extra cash but now it seemed like all the most frightening men had gathered here. It didn’t help matters that Joey had yet to see another customer.

Joey after paying for the popcorn made his way to Seto all the while thinking of the situation they were in. Joey broke it down into bullet points:

• Seto and Joey were the only customers in a cinema in its peak time
• They were surrounded by extremely hench men with a dangerous aura
• Seto was worth billions of yen

And that’s when Joey understood. This was some sort of kidnapping trap and these men were gonna hurt his dragon. Joey would not stand for this and so decided that he would have to deal with this himself without letting his lover know that they were in danger. With his mind made up, Joey and Seto went into their screen and sat down in the ‘surprisingly’ empty cinema.

Now Seto Kaiba wasn’t blind, he could tell with Joey not attempting to make conversation with him for the last 15 minutes that his puppy was thinking. Seto knew that Joey was not stupid and probably noticed that it was odd that the cinema was empty but what Seto did not know was what Joey thought the reason could be. Seto was slightly worried, Joey was highly unpredictable so whatever plan Joey comes up with is going to end up with Seto somehow fixing his puppy’s mess. Seto had two options: he could tell Joey how he bought out the whole cinema and the fast food shot they would have dinner in later for the evening and have Joey mad at him or he could let him puppy sort out whatever problem he thought they were in like the macho man that he was and pretend to be a ‘damsel in distress’. Option one meant Seto won’t be getting laid tonight but option two meant he could reward his ‘knight in shinning armour’ and Seto really wanted Joey. So having decided Seto relaxed and decided to let Joey be his hero.

Joey finally began to pay attention to his date when Seto wrapped his arm around him. Joey was determined for this date to be a relaxing experience for Seto with Joey sorting out any problems that may rise.

“I need to go to the men’s room, I’ll be back soon” with that said Joey got up and prepared himself mentally to go deal with the ‘kidnappers’ and to get back before the movie started.
Joey walked back out of the cinema and saw that the mysterious men had all disappeared from the entrance of the cinema. Growling and changing his stance into that of a natural predator, Joey crept into the employee’s only room to see the 2 movie workers and the bus driver lounging around. The bus driver was on the phone talking to his “Boss” – the one Joey assumed was behind the kidnapping plot.

Joey was never one to assess a situation based on hard evidence, he went with gut instincts and he knew there was something going around and these men were in it. Joey had amazing skill with reading people, the only person he couldn’t was Seto but that was due to being blinded by love. So with an image of Seto in his mind, Joey burst in the room and before the muscle could react had punched the phoney bus driver unconscious. The 2 remaining ‘kidnappers’ turned to look at Joey, however they refused to attack there Boss’s lover knowing the consequences of Joey getting hurt would mean their heads.

Joey still in cool action hero mode, didn’t notice as he went to attack the kidnappers that they only defended themselves and gently pushed Joey into the sofa before grabbing their unconscious partner and running out of the cinema. Joey just stood there watching the men run away with a huge grin on his face, his ego inflating at the thought of having protected his lover against 3 men who were all clearly larger and stronger than himself. Joey flexed his muscles and after giving himself a pat on the back made his way to Seto.

As soon as Joey had left, Seto phoned his bodyguards and told them (threatened them to an inch of their lives) that not even a scratch should be upon Joey. After that he just laid back and let his lover be his hero. Seto found it unbelievably cute how Joey attempted to protect him and be a perfect gentleman but he knew that Joey shouldn’t treat him like a female or someone who was weak. Not that there was anything wrong in Joey wanting to pay for everything and opening doors for him, but Joey had to understand that Seto was strong too and could protect himself.

Seto smiled softly as he thought of how he was already planning for his and Joey’s future and actually thinking about talking to his love about their relationship instead of just thinking about sex. Seto was truly in love, not just in lust and that made him so happy that when Joey returned Seto just leaned over and gently kissed his check before grabbing his hand.

Together they both turned to watch the film on the screen only to realize that they had gone to see a French film…in French with no subtitles. Seto was already lost in the plot of the movie before Joey turned to ask to go. Signing Joey decided that if Seto wanted to watch this film then he may as well and attempted to follow the intricate plotline of love, betrayal and murder all in French.

“Joey…puppy…wake up …the film is over” Seto sighed as once again he was ignored by his sleeping lover. Seto just sighed, this was not going to work and Joey was so deep in sleep that he would probably not even wake up if Seto molested him. After Seto told himself for 5 minutes that molesting your lover while their asleep on your first date was a bad idea he decided on a more direct approach- he pushed Joey out of the chair.
Joey after failing to understand anything that was happening in the film fell asleep. He was fast asleep when he suddenly had a dream that he was falling…

“Owwwww…what the…oh” Joey got up from the floor and grinned at Seto.

“So, the film finished…let’s go eat” quickly changing the subject, Joey led Seto out and to Burger World.

As soon as Joey stepped into Burger World, he suppressed a groan. Like the cinema, there were no other customers and the servers were the same as the ones in the cinema. The bus driver wasn’t there but only as he was still most likely unconscious.

Squaring his shoulders, Joey once again gathered all his courage in order to protect the one he loved but before he could go over and punch one of those idiotic kidnappers, Seto pushed him into a seat.

Confidently working up to the counter, Seto and just before he could order their food, Joey came running up to the counter and threw himself at the server. Seto stood there smirking before he decided to help his bodyguard by pulling his enraged lover off him.

As soon as Seto had Joey of the bodyguard, he called his limo that was on-stand-by and dragged a still growling Joey outside and into it. With a sigh, Seto decided that he should probably come clean with his lover…
