A Mutt and A Dragon

Surprisingly Kabia was the one to help Joey to the limo while his friends stood by worried. “Easy Mutt” Kabia muttered as he helped Joey into the back of the limo. Joey growled, “Stop calling me that money-bags!” Kabia smirked ‘at least he hasn’t lost any of his feistiness after all he’s been through.’ Kabia was about to enter the limo behind Joey but he felt someone tug on his jacket pulling him to the side. “What do you want Yami?” Yami spoke in a low tone to keep others from hearing, “You hurt him in anyway Kabia and your ass is mine got it?” Kabia responded with a nod and walked back over to the limo getting in. The gang watched as the limo pulled away with their friend. “I hope he’ll be okay,” Yugi said still upset. Yami responded, “So do I.”
The ride was quiet which surprised Kaiba to say the least Joey was usually very talkitive,’I guess its beginning to sink in a little about what happened to him.’ Kabia relaxed leaning back and closing his eyes just enjoying the quiet. Joey sat looking down at the floor wincing every time the limo drove over a bump. Joey sat shaking every so often obliviously he was nervous. “Mutt, stop being so nervous. There’s nothing to be nervous about.” Joey jumped slightly when Kaiba talked but then nodded his head in response but didn’t reply verbally. Seto sighed ‘He’s nit gonna calm down easily.’ Seto raised his hand to Joey’s back and began to rub it to make the boy feel better. “S-sorry Kaiba it’s just that being outside makes me feel like my d-dad is gonna pop out of nowhere.” Seto moved his hands upward into Joey’s hair and began to stoke his head to soothe the boy, “Nobody is gonna get you while your with me okay. Plus there’s a bodyguard up front with a gun if anybody tries anything.” Joey calmed a little and leaned back in his seat next to Kaiba.
They stared at one another for a minute before both boys snapped their heads away blushing. ‘Oh my god,’ Joey thought, ‘Why do I like this around Kaiba!’ Joeys mind was in distress and Kaiba’s mind wasn’t too far behind with similar thoughts of his own.
The boys were knocked out of their thoughts when the limo pulled up in front of the Kaiba mansion. The driver exited the vehicle and opened the door for Kaiba and Joey to exit. Kaiba got out first and proceeded to help Joey out of the limo. “Goodnight Sir” the driver said before he got back into the limo and drove away.
Joey looked up at the mansion and nearly fainted. ‘This place is frigging huge!’ Kaiba smirked at Joey’s reaction, “Stop drooling pup.” Joey blushed and looked down. Seto sighed ‘He can be so cute. . . . What the hell am I thinking?!’ Seto shook his head and began to walk up the steps to the front door leaving Joey behind. Joey stared at the stairs in front of him like they were Satan themselves. Sighing he grabbed the hand railing and slowly began to climb the first step. Seto unlocked the front door and turned to Joey, seeing him still at the bottom of the steps. This confused him slightly until he saw how Joey was struggling and wincing in pain, ‘Shit I forgot he can’t walk that well!’
Seto ran down the steps and picked Joey up bridal style. Joey blushed, “I can walk by myself.” Seto snorted, “Yeah right, like I didn’t just see you struggling up the steps just now.” Joey mumbled bastard as he was swiftly carried up the steps into the mansion. Joey was stricken with shock at how large the mansion was inside. “I take it that you like my home.” Seto said with a smirk on his face. Seto set Joey down so he could stand on his own and was immediately tackled to the floor by a mass of black hair.
“Big bro your home!” Joey tried hard not to laugh at the sight in front of him. Seto lay on the floor completely out of breath do to his little brother. “Mokuba please get off me.” Mokuba obeyed and helped his brother to his feet. “If you looked before you jumped you’d know that we have a guest.” Mokuba turned his attention to Joey standing beside them. “Joey!” Mokuba was about to tackle him too but Seto grabbed him before he could do so. “Mokuba I told you on the phone Joey is injured. If you jump him it will reopen his wounds.” Mokuba apologized to both Seto and Joey, “Can we take Joey on a tour of the mansion?” Mokuba asked excited. “No, it’s almost 4am and I’m sure that the mutt wants some rest.” Seto was right Joey felt extremely tired. He was so tired that he didn’t even argue when Seto called him a mutt.
“Okay, okay. Can I at least get to pick his room for him?” Mokuba asked with puppy dog eyes. Seto sighed there was no use to saying no to that, “Yeah go ahead.” Mokuba jumped for joy and rushed up the stairs to pick a room. Once again Joey stared at the stairs. ‘Damn I hate this.’ Noticing the look on Joey’s face, Seto understood and picked Joey up once again, “What?” Joey was surprised that Seto was helping him again. “Don’t complain you know you can’t walk climb the stairs since you can barely walk on your own.” Joey blushed but decided it was best not to argue.
Seto carried Joey up the stairs and down the hall to the guest bedroom next to Seto’s own bedroom. “Of course he chooses one of the largest bedrooms in the mansion besides his and mine.” Seto rolled his eyes and entered the unused room. “I’ll be staying here?!” Joey said upon seeing the green and black room that was huge. “Yes why don’t you lay down for a bit and I’ll call you when I have some food for you to eat is ready.” Seto left the room leaving Joey to admire his new living space for a while. ‘This rocks!’ Joey tried to sit on the bed but he winced and decided it’s better to stand. ‘My ass is killing me! Maybe a hot bath will help soothe it.’ Limping slightly he made his way to the bathroom and one again his jaw dropped at the elegance of the bathroom.
The walls were pure white tiles with a blue flower on each. The tub was huge and pure white in color. Even the sink and toilet were huge! The knobs on everything looked like they were made of gold and all of them were. “I love this place!” Joey said as he turned on the water in the tub making the temperature a nice luke-warm so it didn’t sting any of his cuts and bruises. While he waited for the tub to fill he limped back to the bedroom to look in the draws for clothes. Finding a pair of pajamas that Kaiba must have accidently left in the room one time. “HAHA they got blue eyes on them!”
Joey went back in the bathroom and began to undress carefully as to not reopen any of his injuries. He was about to step into the tub when all of a sudden the bathroom door swung open and there stood a panting, worried looking Seto Kaiba.
