Your MY Mutt

Joey lay at the end of Seto’s bed in his own little bed pillow. He usually slept with Seto, but the other had stayed up most of the night working again so Joey lay buried in blankets upon the pillow.

Seto walked into the room to grab a few things out of a dresser drawer, it was to late to go to sleep now and he had a meeting in a few hours so he was planning on taking a shower, "Jojo. Come on I want you to join me!" He called to the blonde that was hiding under the covers.

A soft rustle was heard, but other then that little was seen from the mass of blankets. It was a wonder he could even breath in there... if he could even do that.

"Come on Jojo. I really want you to come along. There will be a treat in it for you." He said heading across the room, "Course there is punishment in it too if you don’t come along."
mas mass of blankets lurched, and a golden tail could be seen at one end as the clump wondered towards the door.

Seto smiled then knelt down and unburied Joey. He put a hand under the blonde's chin and lifted it up so that he could brush his lips over Joey's, "Good boy. Come on lets get a shower/"

Joey just closed his eyes not wanting to take the risk of lights being on, and just stood up some leaning against his master.

Seto tilted his head, "What’s wrong pup? Open your eyes." He said kissing his nose.

"nope.. to light out there... hell the birds aren’t even awake.." to this though he was graced with a larks song.

Seto patted his head, "Come on." He said as he headed for his private bathroom.

Joey walked along clinging to the boys arm for support. "So... what’s the meeting over this time?"

"Normal stuff that I don’t really care about but I have to listen to them complain about not being paid enough despite having the best salaries for the people in their fields."

"So... let me handle them.. I could always put them in place..." Joey said grinning, "I could make them cry for you Seto-kun."

He walked over to the shower turning on the several nozzles that controlled the many heads in the stall. He looked over at Joey, "Take off anything that your wearing and get in." he said as he started to strip down.

Joey undid his tail, and took off the dog feet like shoes upon him before stepping into the shower.

Seto went in after him and then looked at Joey as he closed the door and the hot water started to steam up the stall. He let out a sigh. It felt good he had a bit of time to relax.

A soft snore came from Joey as the boy actually fell asleep under the hot water that poured upon him.

Seto sighed then gathered him close sot hat Joey's back to his front and pet him lightly.

A soft whimper came from him as his head fell back, and rested upon Seto's. Joey was always like then if he was awakened by someone. Dead to everything about him.

Seto's hand stroked back and forth over his navel playfully his mouth one his neck.

"To early Seto-kun..." he muttered opening a eye slowly to see where in the hell he was.

"It's never to early my pretty pup." He said.

"This pup has teeth besides you don’t want to be late do you?" he muttered.

"I have a few hours." He murmured his hand stroking a little lower.

"You have been warned master... this puppy is not in a playful mood this morning..." he said as he turned his head to nibble on Seto's neck.

Seto made a little sound then swatted him on the vulnerable area between his navel and groin, "You have to a good puppy and that means no biting."

"I wasn’t... I was nibbling. Puppies do that for fun." he said moving away from his master to begin to wash himself after that cruel swat.

"Joey. Come back here." He said pointing to the floor in front of him.

"You swatted me... Pups do fear the hands that beat them."

Seto sighed then left the shower no longer in the mood for one. He had barely hit him. He got a towel and started to dry himself off.

Joey finished cleaning himself, and then stepped out shaking himself dry for the most part though casting water droplets everywhere before he dawned the tail, and his feet which seto had bought for him.

"I wont be back until late." He said, "So try to behave."
:
"I thought I was coming with?" Joey said feeling left out suddenly.

"You will be fine staying here. I don’t know if you should be seen as you are. Your completely untrained."

"Its the masters job to train his dog." Joey said tailing behind Seto. "So.. what’s for breakfast."

"Hmm. I guess we see when we get there, as for training I doubt it will happen if you act like the world is ending because of one swat."

"that is a very tender spot Seto... no one would hit there dog there unless they where a truly mean master."

Seto said nothing as he headed for the kitchen. He didn’t have time to argue with a mutt oveat hat he was doing right or wrong. Joey should be thankful he was here instead of where he was or dead. He didn’t have time to teach him to sit.

Joey sighed, and headed into the kitchen behind Seto. Laying upon the ground he sat before his food dish, and bit upon the rim of it awaiting his meal.

Seto made them some breakfast then looked down at his dog, "Come on we are going to try a few tricks in the living room."

Joey gave him a odd look but held the bowl between his teeth, and followed the food.

Seto sat down then pointed to the ground at his feet, "Sit."

Joey did so but didn’t take his eyes off his food.

"Good." Seto took some and held it out to Joey.

Joey dropped the bowl, and swiftly ate the morsel from his masters fingers almost taking one with him.

Seto flicked his nose, "No. Now try again." He said holding a little more out to him.

Joey took it more easy this time, but Seto was left with a slobbered hand.

Seto smiled then pet the top of Joey's head, "Good boy. Now. Can you lay down for me."

Joey got up, and started off towards the hallway leading to the bedrooms.

"Joey?"

"I am going to lay down.. that’s what you asked for."

"I meant here." He said crossing his arms.

Joey walked back, and then laid on top of Seto. smiling up at him sweetly.

Seto stroked him gently, easily, then picked up some more food holding it out to him.

Joey just opened his mouth under the hand that held the food.

He put it in his mouth then scratched him under his chin, "Good boy, very good."

Joey smiled, and then nuzzled Seto's stomach though all at once cleaning his face to.

Seto pinched his side lightly, "Sit up now."

Joey sat up, and playfully nipped at Seto’s chin.

Seto caught the boy's chin then joined their mouths in a deep kiss.

Joey deepened the kiss some, and pushed at the others lips with his tongue.

Seto parted hiss sos so that the kiss could go deeper his hand reaching up to tangle in Joey's golden hair.

Joey moaned softly, and a playful hand went to a certain spot upon the CEO's stomach that seemed to be the others only ticklish spot.

Seto let out a gasping sound tossing his head back some.

Joey grinned, and pulled back sneaking another bite of the food.

"I saw that."

Joey putt on his best puppy expression as he emptied the food into his dish, and then dashed off with it.

Seto rolled his eyes then relaxed some. He had gotten a nice kiss and the boy had participated in it so it wasn’t a waste.

Joey hid a few feet away eating his pilfered meal, and smiled happily once the had licked the plate clean. Replacing his dish where it needed to go he went back up to Seto to nuzzle upon him more so he could clean his face.

Seto sighed a little then let his eyes sink shut. He was to sleepy to care right now.

*****

"Twenty minutes until your meeting Seto-kun." Joey said suddenly once his nuzzling/face cleaning was done upon Seto’s shirt.

"I don’t wanna... call me in sick Mokuba..." He murmured in his sleep.

Joey grinned at his master, and then suddenly shoved his nose into his masters crotch giving it a good lick to awaken him.

Seto moaned in his sleep spreading his legs shuddering.

Joey then softly nipped upon the bulge.

Seto's moan became a cry as his back arched a little, "Ah! Yes... Joey..."

"Your meeting Seto... your going to be late.." Joey said with a faint grin for having awoken him after Seto had done the same to him.

Seto whimpered, he didn’t want to go now.

"How would it look for Seto the CEO to miss a meeting when you have hardly missed one before just because your to tired after waking us both so early to go to it." the pup said with a wide smile, "Besides I want my treat for going."

Seto stuck his tongue out then ran upstairs to get ready.

*****

Joey just smiled some, and slipped into the laundry room to put on a pair of pants taking in mind to just tuck the tail between his legs, and to wear his dog paws as shoes since they where very durable, and comfortable. Now dawned with his old clothing... or most of it save the shoes, and the ears he still wore he waited by the door.

Seto came down and looked him over then smiled a little, "You are acute pet. I will admit to that." He said, "Come on so we aren’t late."

"Decided not to sleep in hum? Oh and can we stop by the game shop on the way home.. I want to pick up a couple new boosters... maybe then I can beat you."

"I doubt it. But I will get you some cars if you are good." He said.

Joey smiled. "I am always good Seto-kun." he told his mate, "Just other times I am a different kind of good."

"Hmmm." Was all that Seto got as he headed for the limo. He got in and told them where they were to go, it was a near hour drive but it was alright he had scheduled the meeting so that he would get there with seconds to spare. His driver only had to speed.

Joey lay in his masters lap, and thought about his friends. "So.. how do you think the others will take this change?"

"They cant say a damn thing about it."

"Why not Seto??"

"Those little assholes let you get into a situation where you wanted to kill yourself, they didnt care enough to help you so if they say anything to me when I did help you I will knock their heads together." He pulled Joey to him for a long kiss, "You mine I wont let them take you away from me."

"What about Yugi... Yugi tried to always cheer me up... but he just didn’t know what was wrong. I.. I.. couldn’t tell him...that my dad was raping me... and beating me..." Joey said in what could only be described as a croaking whimper.

"Yugi doesn’t matter either. I am your master, your owner, your savior, I am all that matters."

Joey moved from his masters lap, and laid by a door head perched looking out but his mood took a sudden turn just like he was before Kaiba took him in.

"Joey."

Joey didn’t reply he just watched the window drenched in silence his very mood could easily chill the air.

"Joey! Look at me."

Joey turned slightly shifting his face so he could gaze at the other.

Seto reached over petting his cheek, "Don’t be like that."

Joey shied away from the touch as if it had come as a swing blow to his very face.

"Joey!"

Joey lowered his eyes whimpering some fearing a true blow would land as he retracted into himself trying to make himself a smaller target like he had done when his father had beaten upon him.

Seto snarled then went to looking out the window.

Joey whimpered more, and his whole body was shaking now out of fear. It was happening again.. his father wanted to lock him away too. Keeping him from his friends, and everyone else he didn’t want Seto to be like that yet... there is was showing upon him.. those first signs...

*****

Joey lay down under the table of the meeting room. He stayed in place like a good puppy should fearing what Kaiba would do to him now that he was showing this side of himself. He prayed he was just being possessive, and wouldn’t start hurting him over the simplest of things, but just thinking he might scared him more then anything he could even think of.

"Come on. Everyone is gone and I want to go home for a nap."

"Wh..what about the game shop?" he asked softly.

"What about it? I’m dropping you off so you can do whatever."

Joey whimpered softly, and cowered beside the other.

Seto gritted his teeth then headed for his car as a brisk pace.

Joey kept up easily, but still he looked as if he was ordered to meet the reaper of the cards.

Seto got into the car then sat down on the seat letting his eyes close so that he wouldn’t have to look at his dog.

Joey whimpered some, and laid his head upon Seto's knee daring not to go any further.

Seto's hand stroked at his hair but said nothing.

Joey whimpered softly. "S..s..seto ar..are you going to start beat...beating me now..?" said a very shaking voice that remembered the past oh so well.

Seto let out a growling sound his stroking stilling.

Joey quickly backed off huddling into a ball.

"You can stay there tonight. I don’t want you coming back home."

Tears fell down his face as he trembled. "Se..set..seto?" Joey was so very confused by now.

"I don’t want you to bother to stay with me. You think that I am some kind of monster and Yugi is a saint! I could have had you so many times already and you couldn’t have fought back but I didn’t!:

"I..I never said that... you... you just reminded me of him.. you .. you wanted to lock me away from everyone.." he said in a sniffle. "I..I don’t want to lose my master though."

"..."

Joey turned his eyes away as he whimpered some more. "I.. i don’t want to lose you Seto.. or my friends."

"I never said that you had to lose them."

"You.. you didn’t want me to see them... said I only need you."

"Exactly, I said you only need worry about me, not about what they think of us."

Joey shook his head he was so confused.

"You asked me what I thought they would think of us. I don’t care about it. I care only for you and your safety."

Joey smiled some, and nuzzled him. "But.. you sounded so much like him."

Seto sighed lying back on the seat then let himself sink down onto his back.

Joey just climbed into his lap laying his head upon the others chest.

Seto opened his eyes to gaze up at him then stretched his hands up to him but didn’t touch him, "I don’t want to hurt you."

Joey smiled, and then nipped the others stomach.

Seto gave a shiver his hands falling so that they were above his head leaving him open and vulnerable to his dog's whims.

Joey just nuzzled his head under Seto's shirt, and left it there lightly licking at the others navel.

Seto made a small sound his eyes closing.
