Where Will You Go

Joey woke slowly leaning closer to the warmth against his back, the arms around his waist tightened and a moan like sigh greeted his ears.

"Morning pup." Joey blushed, the low voice bringing back memories of the previous night's activities.

"Good morning Seto." Kaiba smirked; he could almost hear the blush in Joey's soft voice. Kaiba shifted noticing three things. One; he was naked, two; he needed a shower and three; Joey was in the same exact predicament. With a quiet laugh he rolled a willing Joey over to face him a dark red blush stained his cheeks, but he meet Kaiba's eyes.

"We need to take a shower." Kaiba said softly Joey nodded and Kaiba kissed him softly on the forehead before slipping out from the warmth of the covers and walking across the room unashamed of his naked state. Joey watched Kaiba's white butt disappear into the bathroom and he sat up with a sigh. The covers fell around him and he scowled darkly at them.

"What's taking so long…?" Kaiba trailed off when he saw Joey's face swallowing a quickly rising panic he walked back over to the bed with a dark towel around his wait. Sitting on the corner of the bed he looked at Joey a rare concern in his eyes. "Joey is something wrong?" He asked cautiously, the blonde looked up almost startled to hear the question; he sighed and decided on the truth.

"It's just that all of this seems so unreal." Joey said averting his eyes again to the blue blankets. "I just keep expecting to wake up one day and find that all of this has been a dream." He plucked at an invisible hair on the blanket. "Sometimes I think that this is too good to be true and something is going to take it away at any second."

"But it's not a dream," Kaiba said softly a small smile turned towards the blonde. "And no one is going to take anything away from you… I won't let them!" Joey sighed turning thoughtful eyes towards the brunette.

"You won't let them," Joey repeated slowly as if tasting the words with his tongue. "A month ago you would have been mocking me and baiting me into fights I had no hope of winning. Why… how… what changed?"

"Life changed," Kaiba said softly. "I only started those fights with you because I was confused, it was hard enough to come to terms with myself that I was gay, but when I found out the object of my desires was my rival's best friend that confused me even more." Kaiba let out an uncharacteristic sigh and ran a hand through his hair. "That night I found you, I don't know what I was thinking bringing you here. I could just have made everything worse between us, but I guess fate was on my side when I found out that you might have held something besides hate for me." Kaiba missed the surprised look that was plastered on Joey's face since he was concentrating on the comforter and its invisible patterns.

"I regret nothing that happened between us that night, I believe that even that all that happened was you got pissed with me and punched my lights out I still wouldn't regret showing you kindness at least once." Kaiba looked up strength in his sapphire eyes and took Joey's chin in his hand. "Joey what is between us is real and no one can take it away, no matter how hard they try! It's not a dream nor is it a false reality. I, the one and only Seto Kaiba love you Joey Wheeler, I think I always have and I know I always will!" Kaiba took Joey's lips into a chaste kiss at Joey's pleasant squeak of surprise Kaiba smirked and pulled away. "Got it pup?" At Joey's speechless nod Kaiba once again kissed him deeply this time and stood up pulling Joey along with him.

"W-where are we going?" Joey asked confusion tinting his voice.

"My bathroom so we can take a shower." Kaiba replied pulling him into that said room. That was adorned nicely with blue towels, white marble and silver furnishings.

"Together?" Joey questioned his brow raised.

"We just slept together Joey, what's so surprising about taking a shower?" Joey blinked thoughtfully for a moment.

"Eh, nothing I guess." He admitted slowly, Kaiba smirked turning on the water and letting his towel fall to the floor. Joey swallowed quickly and turned away making Kaiba smirk once again.

"In case you forgot you're nude to puppy." Kaiba said humor shining in his eyes. "That's usually how one goes about showering!"

"I know that!" Joey said with a glare realizing too late that Kaiba was baiting him on purpose again; he sighed and shook his head mentally slapping himself for being distracted so easily. Kaiba chuckled softly earning himself another glare this time only a half hearted one

"Come on pup, waters a wasting!" Joey raised an eyebrow.

"Since when do you talk like that?" He asked cautiously. "You're not on uppers are you?" He continued leaning forward dramatically, Kaiba's eye twitched and he frowned.

"No, no uppers sorry, all the Viagra was sold out!" Joey paused and goggled at Kaiba who was smirking again.

"You just made a joke." Joey said slowly as if not believing it. "I think that was the first time I ever heard you say something that could be taken as humor." Kaiba sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Joey were standing naked in a bathroom with hot water ready and waiting for us. Could we please discuss my sense of humor later?" Joey laughed yet again.

"And you just said please! My, my if getting laid was all it took for this to happen I would have offered years ago!"

"Joey…" Kaiba said his voice dangerously low. "Get your ass in the shower… now!" Joey smirked making Kaiba slap his head.

"Ha! Got ya back!" Kaiba reached for Joey who squeaked and jumped in the shower, Kaiba and followed. With a quick grin he pulled Joey against his chest hugging him tightly, Joey laughed letting his head fall back on Kaiba's shoulder.

"Joey, how have I lived this long without you?"

"I don't know, but it must have been a very dull life indeed." Joey closed his eyes letting the water flow over him and smiled in the general direction of Kaiba. "Glad ya found me, eh?"

"We just went over that." Joey grinned again and Kaiba reached for the shampoo.

"I know I just like hearing you say it!" Kaiba squeezed a small amount of the shampoo into his hand and worked it into Joey's hair.

"Well then, I love you pup and I'm very glad I found you." Joey hummed contentedly and turned around soap suds still dripping from his wed hair. Leaning up he touched Kaiba's lips quickly with his own and grinned happily.

"Like I said, I never get tired of hearing you say that." Joey said turning back around to let Kaiba rinse the shampoo out of his hair. "Hey Set."

"Hmm?"

"Guess what!"

"What?" Kaiba asked rinsing the last of the shampoo out of his hair.

"I love you too!" Kaiba's hands paused their ministrations and he smiled widely behind the blonde, Joey sensing that Kaiba had finished with his hair grabbed the shampoo, put some in his hand and turned around to return the favor.

"You don't have to do that." Kaiba pointed out making Joey roll his eyes.

"I want to, now shut up and turn around!" His eyebrow rose but he followed the instructions and felt Joey's hands lightly trailing through his hair. He sighed and leaned back closer to the touch, Joey snickered making Kaiba open his eyes and glare back at him.

"What?" He demanded.

"Nothing, I'm just guessing that I'm the first person who has done this right?" Kaiba closed his eyes and turned back around.

"Mmm-hmm…" He agreed slowly when Joey's hands started up again. "I don't trust people touching me, especially on the head. That is why I cut my own hair." He continued slowly enjoying the feel of the impromptu massage.

Joey grinned, even if Kaiba never said 'I love you' his simple actions spoke louder than a hundred words, he never need those three words to be spoken he just loved hearing them from the person everyone though was the King of Ice.

Trailing his hands lightly through Kaiba's hair again he made sure no soap was left before he kissed his neck and tossed him a washcloth grabbing one for himself. They proceeded to wash in relative silence stealing small kisses and teasing touches when the other wasn't looking.

A few minutes later they climbed out and started to dry off with the fluffy blue towels, that done Kaiba led Joey out of the bathroom and over the his closet. Taking a few minutes to look through the available items he pulled a couple things out and handed them to Joey before going back to select something for himself.

Both teenagers got dressed in a comfortable silence and then met Mokuba in the dining room for breakfast. Mokuba greeted them with a yawn and sleepy 'good mornings' then went back to his half eaten plate.

Joey and Kaiba joined him filling the plates at their seats and eating the contents in a matter of minutes. Mokuba watched with a raised eyebrow and a small smirk.

"It seems like you two worked up quite an appetite last night." Joey choked on his coffee and looked up at Kaiba who was pointedly staring at his plate and wearing a small blush.

"What do ya mean 'Mo?"

"Well Joey, you see when two people really love each other they…" Mokuba paused flashing an innocent smile. "Never mind, I'll tell you when you're older!" Joey's mouth dropped and Kaiba suppressed a laugh behind a cough, making Mokuba snicker, Joey groaned not getting support from either party. Once finished they piled up their plates for one of the maids to take and headed off to the limo and school.

The drive was quite and uneventful, that was until Mokuba was dropped off and they got stuck in traffic. After a few minutes Joey sighed from boredom and moved into his favorite spot, Kaiba's lap. Two arms circled his waist and he started humming quietly, a few moments later Kaiba poked him lightly in the stomach.

"What are you humming and where have I heard it before?" He asked a thoughtful note in his voice; Joey laughed and swatted his hand away.

"The title of the song is what you asked me just over a month ago, right after you helped me offa my ass." Kaiba raised and eyebrow thinking back on that day.

"I said a lot of things that night."

"You said it twice." Joey hinted Kaiba smirked; now he knew exactly what Joey was talking about, even though those words seemed like forever ago.

"Where will you go, yes I remember clearly now."

"Yupperz and I listen to it all the time… Evanescence is the name of the group by the way."

"How can I forget?" Kaiba mumbled. "You have probably worn that damn CD out a hundred times over!" Joey laughed softly and gave Kaiba an impish grin.

"Yeah, but I know something else I'd like to wear out even more than that CD… and yes that was an innuendo!" Kaiba frowned and blushed at the same time poking Joey again.

"I happen to know very well what you meant by that puppy… and that is most defiantly something I'm going to hold you to!"

"Fine by me!" Joey said humor lacing his voice. A few silent minutes passed the limo barely moving through the traffic. "Hey Seto… can I ask you an odd question?" Kaiba lifted his head from its position on Joey's shoulder and gave him a thoughtful frown he couldn't see.

"If you want to, it's fine by me." He agreed resting his forehead back on Joey's shoulder.

"How did you first know you were gay and who was the one who did it for you?"

"Mmm, that’s two questions." He mumbled, but moved back resettling Joey on his lap so they faced each other. He thought for a moment before answering. "I think I always knew that I was gay, but the one who made me accept it was this one guy at school I have P.E with and sadly I had to undress in the same room every day for the past few years, until a little while ago I was stuck watching him from afar never thinking for one moment I could have him." Joey's eyes turned sad for a moment.

"Who is this guy?" Kaiba's eye almost twitched, Joey was smart but sometimes he could be an idiot.

"Pup, what two classes do we have together?" He asked slowly.

"Science and P.E." Joey answered automatically.

"Right… now, who shares the locker next to mine?"

"Um, I do." Kaiba nodded in satisfaction.

"Now, who do you think it is?" Joey blinked in though for a moment.

"Eh, I don't know! That guy with the long brunette hair that's good at soccer?" Kaiba slapped his head sapphire eyes narrowing.

"You my dear puppy are an idiot! I was talking about you!" A look of totally surprise settled over Joey's features.

"B-but, we still hated each other then! You couldn't have liked me!" Kaiba smiled wryly and shook his head.

"I never hated you love, I told you before I was just confused. I couldn't admit it to myself let alone you!" Joey smiled grinning up at Kaiba.

"I have a confession to make… I lied to you once." Kaiba's brow rose but he said nothing letting Joey continue. "Duke wasn't the one who helped me realize I was gay…" Joey paused running a hand through his hair and looking at the leather seats. "Remember that time we were dueling at Pegasus' castle?" Joey didn't need to see Kaiba's nod before he continued. "When you dueled Pegasus and he cheated making you lose… he took your soul and I didn't know if Yugi could win the duel against Pegasus because of his cheating ability. I was pissed but I knew I couldn't do anything about it, and then I got to thinking why I was so angry and the only logical conclusion only made me more confused… I woke up that morning to the simple fact that I loved you." Kaiba smiled and hugged Joey closer.

"So how does Duke fit into all this?" Kaiba couldn't help but ask as curiosity got the better of him.

"It was actually because of you." Joey admitted. "That afternoon at school you weren’t being such a prick to me… so I though what the hell, I'm going to tell him today! What could go wrong?" Joey sighed blowing the bangs out of his eyes. "Well you had just gotten off the phone when I came up to you and obviously it wasn't a pleasant call since when I got within five feet of you, you turned around with a snarl and told me to 'Get the fucking hell away from me, this day doesn't need to get any worse!'." Joey sighed and Kaiba pulled him closer. "So… well what happens when you get turned down by your biggest crush, let alone someone you think you love? You accept an invitation to a party, get shit faced and drown you sorrows down the throat of the nearest cute boy… it just happened to be Duke."

"Joey… I don't think a simple 'I'm sorry' is going to make up for all the horrible things I said to you… I just wish I could make it up to you." Joey leaned forward resting his head in the crook of Kaiba's neck kissing it gently he smiled and wrapped his arms around him returning the comforting gesture.

"Set, there's nothing you have to do… I love you and I finally know you love me. Everyone is allowed to be confused and I don't blame you for anything, you didn't hold a gun to my head and tell me to get drunk and make out with Duke! I just wanted to tell you the truth about me… I didn't want you to go on thinking it was Duke who turned me when I know it was you. I couldn't be happier about the way things worked out!" Kaiba smiled again, surprised at the effect Joey had on him. When everyone else said he was a cold hearted prick and he knew it was true, something about Joey made him want to be different to prove that he wasn't a prick to everyone.

"May I ask you a question?"

"Of course ya can!"

"Why did you leave you dueling deck on your desk that day?"

"I didn't mean to, I was distracted that day." Joey said with a sigh.

"You, distracted, no!" Joey rolled his and looked up at Kaiba with a mock glare.

"Oh ha, ha… you're so funny I forgot to laugh… no wait! I just gave a mocking laugh." Kaiba's eyebrow rose and he suppressed the urge to laugh.

"Why were you distracted?"

"Serenity called that morning to tell me our mother was getting remarried, she was upset because my mother didn't want me there for the wedding. Serenity liked the guy, but she didn't want our mother to marry him if it would make her not want me around." Joey sighed again and leaned against Kaiba's chest. "I knew the reason mom didn't want me there was because then my father would have come and ruined everything for them, but… I just couldn't tell Serenity that she would have been worried about me. So I just told her I wasn't mad since I couldn't make it anyways."

"I see… fate has an odd way of throwing people together." Kaiba said slowly, Joey nodded. "Joey?"

"Hmm?"

"Why did your father throw you out?"

"I told you before! He found out that I was gay and he said that he wouldn't tolerate it." Joey sighed again and tried to move closer to Kaiba but found it impossible since his back was already flat against his chest.

"Yes, but how did he find out that small fact? You didn't have gay porn under your bed did you?" Joey snorted and Kaiba smiled softly.

"Can you keep a secret?"

"Yes." Kaiba replied slowly.

"I was on the phone with Duke-"

"Duke again?" Kaiba asked his voice annoyed.

"Yeah, but it's not what you think!" Joey assured him quickly. "See… I told you Duke didn't remember the make out session the next morning, but he did remember it a few days later… he called me to tell me that he was sorry, but it meant nothing to him. See… he isn't straight either."

"Is everybody gay?" Joey laughed softly and continued his story.

"Here is the part you have to keep secret… Duke likes Tristan and he told me that. I rushed to assure him that the make-out meant nothing to me either and that he had my approval if he wanted to do something with Tristan. Well my father had come home and I didn't hear him so he heard a good part of the conversation and as they say 'the shit hit the fan' and you know the rest."

"And so the plot thickens." Kaiba said dramatically. "Anything else you want to tell me?"

"No… that’s it, I have been completely honest with everything else." Joey said seriously.

"And why are you coming clean with all of this?" Kaiba asked curiously.

"I didn't want to keep it from you any longer and it seemed like a good time to tell you." Joey admitted with a small blush.

"Yes, but why tell me now?"

"I would have told you that night, but…"

"But…" Kaiba insisted.

"But it took me a while to convince myself that you really loved me and you weren’t in it just for a quick lay." Kaiba sighed leaning down to kiss Joey's neck.

"You're incorrigible you know that right?" He said his warm breath washing over Joey's skin.

"Yeah I know, but you love me anyways!" Kaiba laughed and kissed Joey's cheek before he saw the small clock, his eyes widened slightly they had been stuck in traffic for almost two hours and still had made little progress. With a sigh Kaiba knocked on the glass that separated them from the driver, it opened silently.

"At the next turn off take us back to the house!" The driver nodded and the window closed again, Joey looked up a question in his eyes. "We're already late for school and judging by the speed of this traffic and the distance we have to cover it would be useless to show up at school with only one or two classes left." Joey nodded in understanding and turned around to straddle Kaiba's lap.

"I like the way you think, Set." He whispered huskily before licking a trail up his neck and nibbling his ear. Kaiba moaned his arms moving to wrap around Joey's back hands slid down to rub his butt through the leather pants.

"You just like the fact we're not going to school!" With an annoyed grunt Joey pushed Kaiba's jacket off his shoulders and partially unbuttoned his shirt moving it aside to reveal the pale flesh.

"Don't be a dick!" Joey said with a small glare.

"Bite me!" Kaiba retorted with a smirk, Joey's eyebrow lifted quickly before he shrugged and lowered his head again. Bringing his lips to where Kaiba's neck met his shoulder he erased the small space and softly bit down, Kaiba made a small sound of surprise and squirmed slightly.

"I d-didn’t mean that l-literally." He felt Joey smirk against his skin and bring his tongue out to soothe the mark before gently sucking and licking it again.

"You shouldn't have said it then!" Joey said not bothering to lift his head.

"Don't talk with your mouth full!" Kaiba chastised making Joey pull back to look at him, a humored smile was on the brunettes lips and Joey shook his head disbelievingly.

"Two jokes in one day… I'm scared… you're not an alien are you? If you are I want my Seto back!" Joey stuck out his bottom lip in a pout and Kaiba rolled his eyes.

"I am your Seto puppy!" Kaiba said with a smirk before bringing his mouth to Joey's taking advantage of his pouting lip by grabbing it lightly in his teeth and giving a small tug before letting it go again and capturing his mouth exploring it with his soft tongue. Joey pulled back looking slightly dazed.

"Mmm, well you do taste like my Seto." He smirked licking his lips and noticed that the limo had turned around and was now going at an acceptable speed back to the mansion.

"Oh? I'm so very glad."

"You know…" Joey began taping a thoughtful finger lightly to his lips. "Sarcasm is punishable!"

"What's the punishment for sarcasm?" Kaiba asked curiously, Joey's grin was almost feral before he swooped down for another deep kiss.

"You get to be Uke again!"

"That isn't a punishment!" Kaiba pointed out.

"Hush now Setty, we'll just pretend it is!" They both grinned as their lips once again connected. That is how the rest of the drive went, both teenagers plastering hungry kisses along whatever patches of skin were showing at the moment.

They broke apart ten minutes later when the limo pulled to a stop in front of the mansion. Quickly resettling their clothes into something that resembled order they got out when the driver opened the door. Joey had to give him credit, other than slightly red cheeks he gave no outward sign that two teenagers had been making out and groping for the past fifteen minutes…. or two hours if you counted what happened before the make out session.

Quickly walking up the steps Kaiba quickly opened the door and they both walked through. Kaiba turned around and gave the driver a quick order to pick Mokuba up; Joey rolled his eyes and pulled him into the mansion shutting the door with his foot. Joey kicked off his boots setting them by the door, slowly Kaiba followed suit and bent down to place them neatly by Joey's, Joey impatiently pulled Kaiba up by his shirt making his boots fall and land forgotten. Smirking Kaiba put his hands on Joey's hips squeezing once before kissing him lightly on the head.

"Sorry pup, but since we don't have school I should get to work." Kaiba smirked and kissed his forehead again before pulling away from the stunned blonde and walking away. He made it to the bottom of the stairs before Joey turned him around pressing his back against the wall.

"I don’t think so; you'll finish what you started!" Joey growled pressing his hips against Kaiba, who couldn't help but moan softly.

"Y-you're to easy pup… I wasn't going to leave you hanging." Joey frowned at Kaiba who tilted up his chin and softly kissed him, Joey sighed and made proper use of his hands by taking Kaiba's jacket off and letting it fall to the floor. Kaiba broke away for much needed and unwanted air, smirking Joey pulled away from him and started walking up the stairs. Kaiba caught up to him and lightly tugged at his jacket trying to pull him back, Joey twisted letting the jacket fall into his hands.

Joey laughed and stuck out his tongue taking the last few steps before quickly making his way to Kaiba's room, pausing for a moment he noticed that while they were gone the maids had come in and cleaned the bed. He was about to take a step forward when Kaiba's arms caught him around the waist.

"You're mine now!" Kaiba said into his ear, Joey smiled and tilted his back when he felt Kaiba's warm tongue on his neck. His hands didn't stay idle for long instead they moved down to the front of Joey's pants and unzipped them, putting his thumbs through the belt loop he pulled them making them come loose and fall around his ankles. Joey kicked the pants away and turned around; laying his hands on Kaiba's hips he kissed his lips gently before running his hands under Kaiba's shirt and pulling it over his head.

Joey took his opening and brought his mouth down to Kaiba's hard nipple, his hiss of pleasure made Joey move his hands to Kaiba's pants, undoing the buckle he unzipped them and slowly slip them down his hips.

Kaiba couldn't help another moan escaping as Joey switched his attentions to the other nipple and brought his hands up to undo the buttons of Joey's shirt he tugged once and Joey let his arms drop and the shirt fall off. Both teenagers were now standing in nothing but their respective boxers, Kaiba's dark blue and Joey's a blood red.

Kaiba pulled gently on the back of Joey's hair and he looked up in question, with a smirk Kaiba leaned down gently brushing his tongue over Joey's Carmel nipples making him shiver moment's later Joey stepped away with a sly smile. Kaiba frowned the loss of his warm body and before he knew it Joey had pulled his boxers down and fled to the other side of the room that held the bed.

Laughing softly he could only follow his hormones and chase the blonde who had already shed his boxers and was standing there patiently waiting for him. Kaiba took a moment to admire the teen before him; his pale skin was shining slightly with sweat as he stood there in nothing but the red and black collar that he had given him. His hair was falling down into his eyes and he noticed that Joey had been letting it grow; his erection stood proudly glistening with pre-cum. Kaiba smirked continuing his slow walk over to the bed.

Joey almost started drooling when Kaiba had started stalking over to the bed, his alabaster skin glowing softly in the small amount of light that the closed curtains let in. For once his hair wasn't neat like he had always kept it, it fell into his eyes and he tossed his head slightly to keep them away. His manhood stood proud and ready as he calmly walked across the room, it took all Joey's willpower to not jump him right there.

Joey almost sighed in relief when Kaiba stopped in front of him bringing his lips down to his for a demanding kiss; Joey turned Kaiba with his body and pushed him gently onto the bed they landed bouncing once as their lips came apart.

Joey smirked before reaching over to Kaiba's night stand and opening the drawer, taking out the small clear bottle he was looking for he went back to kissing at trail down Kaiba's chest to his navel, stopping for a quick dip of his tongue he moved lower.

"Ah, Joey!" Kaiba cried when he unexpectedly took his shaft into his mouth, smirking around his mouthful Joey spread Kaiba legs and squeezed some lube onto his fingers before softly prodding the tight ring of muscle. Pushing in carefully Kaiba started moaning and doing his best not to squirm, Joey knew he was being gently so there was no pain; he added a finger and grinned. Kaiba wasn't in pain he was in pleasure, the double assault he had going he noticed smugly was the cause.

Carefully inserting another finger and scissoring them his mouth eased up not wanting Kaiba to cum just yet. Seconds later Joey pulled away from both the long shaft and the tight ring of muscle, Kaiba whimpered both losses but was hushed when Joey's mouth came up to cover his.

Joey knelt between Kaiba's legs and he spread them further allowing Joey full access. Smiling into the kiss he pulled away and gave the tip of Kaiba's nose a small lick.

"My, my you're eager aren't you?" Kaiba glared up at Joey and growled earning himself a chuckle in return.

"Don't worry I'll give you what you want!" Joey said positioning himself at Kaiba's entrance. Kaiba sat up on his elbows and brought Joey down for a heated kiss.

"I already have what I want! Give me what I need!" Kaiba panted after letting go of Joey's chin. Pushing down on Joey's ready shaft Kaiba impaled himself with a cry of pleasure that mixed with Joey's.

"Oh god…" Joey panted getting control of himself.

"Not… quite… god..." Kaiba said with a smile, he rolled his eyes and rocked his hips forward causing Kaiba to cry out again and forget anything else he would have said. Moving back and forth a few times he built a steady rhythm before angling upwards to hit Kaiba's sweet spot.

White stars danced in front of Kaiba's eyes as sounds of pleasure tore from his throat, sounds that even if he wanted to he couldn't stop. Joey thrust in again and again repeatedly hitting that spot, his voice mixing with Kaiba's in a wordless song.

Joey's hand moved to Kaiba's shaft reducing him to soundless screams, Joey let out cries of pleasure feeling Kaiba's walls stroking him before they tightened and Kaiba came in white jets of creamy liquid. Joey cried out following Kaiba into bliss as he spilled himself into the brunette.

Coming down from his high Joey pulled gently out of Kaiba and collapsed onto his chest, two strong arms caught him and pulled him closer kissing the top of his head. Joey let Kaiba pull him into the warm blankets before he snuggled closer and laid his head on Kaiba's shoulder.

"Joey, I don't believe words can describe how much I love you." Kaiba said softly, Joey smiled and kissed his neck softly.

"Maybe not, but they don't have to do they?"

No, no they don't have to." Kaiba agreed and followed Joey into slumber.

Kaiba didn't know how long it had been since he had fallen asleep with Joey nor did he know what had woken him up. Blinking twice to wake himself he looked up to see his door opening and Mokuba coming silently into the room. Kaiba locked eyes with his brother who frowned screwing his face into something that resembled annoyance though his eyes held humor. Tossing the two jackets into a pile that was already on the floor he put his hands on his hips.

"Why do you get to stay home from school and have sex when I have to go to school?" Kaiba blinked once and blushed, that wasn't what he had expected, Joey's small chuckle made him look down at the blonde, Joey sat up onto his elbows and smiled at Mokuba.

"We tried to go to school, but there was an accident or something and we weren’t able to get through the traffic." Joey yawned and gave Mokuba a lopsided grin. "Tell ya what… when you're seventeen and have a girlfriend… or boyfriend I'll make Seto let you take a day off and you can have all the sex you want." Mokuba opened his mouth to say something but blushed instead.

"That sounds great Joey!" Mokuba said slowly. "But I was really only picking on you guys… I don't mind… not like I want to be present for your… uh, escapades." Joey laughed and let himself fall back onto the pillow; Mokuba grinned at his brother and shook his head leaving the room.

"Hey Set," Joey started; Kaiba pulled the covers back over himself and snuggled closer to Joey.

"Hmm?"

"Can we stay home from school tomorrow?" Kaiba laughed softly and kissed Joey's cheek.

"No I don't think we should… we actually should show our faces, I don't want them to think I'm backing down after that incident with Tea!"

"Mmm, I see your point…" Joey yawned again and wrapped his arms around Kaiba's waist. "Don't mean I'm happy about it though!" Kaiba smiled and set his head onto Joey's chest eyelids dropping softly.

"N-not," Kaiba was interrupted by a yawn before he finished. "Not like I want to go to that hell hole, plus we have work!"

"Mmm, hmm… yeah I know…." Joey trailed off sleep already taking his hold on the young blonde, Kaiba put a hand under his head bringing the other one to lay on Joey's stomach he followed Joey into sleep for the second time.

Kaiba walked down the hallways of the school the next day, holding a briefcase in one hand he was reading a file in another. Joey followed close behind writing something down on a notepad he held loosely, his bag thrown quickly over his shoulder bounced with every step he took. He sighed and blew his bangs out of his eyes.

"Ok, so the four o' clock meeting has been canceled because the guy who was flying in had plane troubles, they rescheduled his flight for day after tomorrow so the meeting has been moved down a few days." Joey paused to write something else down and looked up again. "The new Duel Disks are ready to be tested… there is a small glitch in them but nothing that can't be easily fixed when the new soft ware is installed."

"What's the problem?" Kaiba asked stopping outside his class room.

"The holo-images," Joey replied without skipping a beat or looking at his notes. "They are having a problem keeping the monsters solid during the duel."

"You're right, that is easy to fix." Kaiba nodded absently. "Why don't you have the-" Kaiba was cut off by a loud voice calling for both him and Joey. They both looked up to see Tea running towards them, they exchanged frowned and went to leave.

"Joey, Kaiba please don't go!" Tea begged stopping in front of them to catch her breath. Joey paused and gave Kaiba a look asking him to stay, Kaiba frowned and stood by Joey.

"What do you want?" Kaiba questioned looking down icily at the girl. Tea bit her lip and visibly swallowed.

"I wanted to apologize." She said softly. Kaiba frowned minutely his eyes staying cold.

"Isn't it a little late for that?" His cold voice made her wince slightly; Joey frowned and laid a gentle hand on Kaiba's arm.

"Yes… its way beyond late, but I am still asking for forgiveness. What I did was cruel and hypocritical; I should have never gone that far! I know you were only looking out for Yugi, but I panicked and ended up doing something stupid hurting you both in the process." Kaiba's glare intensified and he snapped his file shut.

"Save your breath Gardner!" Turning to Joey he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "Forgive her if you want, but I can't! I'll see you after school pup." Without a backward glance at Tea Kaiba entered his class leaving the two behind. Joey shifted slightly and looked at Tea who had tears shining in her eyes.

"Joey I-" Joey cut her off holding up his hand.

"I forgive you Tea," Joey said slowly making Tea smile. "But don't think this means we are on friendly terms." Joey's ruby eyes narrowed in a way that would have made Kaiba proud. "You almost ruined my relationship with Seto; you're just lucky that he doesn't 'panic' and listened to reason. I have to admit though, that little stunt you pulled just made us closer." Tea's eyes watered again as she found a sudden interest in the floor. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, you should have thought about your actions… that might have saved you quite a few friendships." Joey sighed and turned around to head to his last class. "Good-bye Tea!"

"So?" Kaiba asked softly when Joey met him in the limo after school.

"So what? I could have lost you, I wasn't going to forgive and forget!" Joey placed himself on Kaiba's lap resting his head on his shoulder.

"But you did forgive her."

"Yes."

"Did it make you feel better?" Joey sighed and sat up with a small smile on his lips.

"Yes, it did." Joey kissed Kaiba softly on the lips and hugged him tightly. "Now lets get to work I have some ideas for the HTML that your new program needs!" Kaiba smiled and pulled Joey closer.

"Whatever you want pup!"

"I want you…"Joey grinned feraly leaning forward, Kaiba laughed and kissed him thoroughly.

"Work first, play later!"

"Party popper!"

"You're insatiable!"

"If you weren't so hot I wouldn’t be!" Kaiba laughed again making Joey smile widely. Kaiba watched Joey's face for a moment and kissed him again.

"God I'm glad I found you!"

"You're not the only one who's glad." Joey agreed laying his head on Kaiba's shoulder. "So now that everything has worked out, we can call this a happy ending right?"

"Not really." Kaiba said slowly.

"Why not?" Joey asked sitting up again to look into serious sapphire eyes.

"Because nothing is ending… it's all beginning. So it would have to be a happy beginning!"

"I wouldn't mind if it ended like this!" Joey said setting his head back on Kaiba's shoulder.

"I wouldn't either!" Kaiba agreed tightening his arms possessively around Joey's waist.

I would like to thank everyone I made wait so long for this last chapter. I'm not usually one to make excuses, but my mother needed to have a surgery and then I got sick again… I haven't had much time to just sit and write. But I did manage to finish writing this story and I wanted to say sorry that it took me so long to get it out!
