100 Puppies and Dragons

Fork in the Road

Seto glanced at the blond bouncing beside him, then back at the signs, sighing quietly through his nose. "Which way is it, then?"

Joey looked up at him in surprise, then smiled brightly and shrugged. "Don't know!"

The brunet barely kept from throttling him. "You said you'd memorized the directions!"

"…I don't remember there bein' a fork in the road in the directions I was given," Joey murmured, scratching his head.

Seto roared in frustration. "I'm beginning to believe that you don't really want me to get married to this witch, Joey, which makes no sense to me considering the lengths you went to just to get me to agree to this!"

The blond looked down at his feet and pulled at his shirt nervously. "Well, I had t' pretend t' want ya t' come because she sent her crows t' watch me. I know they're gone now." He looked up at the brunet and frowned. "She plans t' kill ya and steal your powers. I only followed her orders because she… she's got her crows on my sister. If I didn't bring ya back, she was gonna have them peck my sister's eyes out. The healer just fixed him, and she was so happy t' get her sight back, I didn't want that t' happen."

"…So you were going to sacrifice me to save your sister?" Seto asked thoughtfully. "I should kill you for that, but now I'm intrigued. Well—"

Joey squeaked as the older boy grabbed his hair and yanked his head back. "Eek!"

"—If you're so worried about your sister, lead me to this witch. Now that I know what this woman plans on doing, I can be prepared and kill her instead and take her powers for my own. If you'd be so kind as to show me the way, please," the brunet suggested, smiling in a way that dripped poison.

The younger boy swallowed nervously. "Y-you're kinda scarin' me-!"

Seto's smile didn't move an inch. "Good. Now, which way?"

Joey swallowed again, then hesitantly pointed down the left fork. "That way."

"Hmm, thank you, Joey," the brunet replied, patting him on the head, before he began walking down the left fork. "Come on. You're the one that knows the way, not me."

The younger boy whimpered but followed him down the dirt road. Suddenly, he regretted telling the brunet anything about the witch.

She wasn't nearly as scary as this guy was and he'd already been told by him point blank at the beginning that he'd rather fuck him than fuck the witch. Ever.

And when Seto looked back at him and smirked, licking his lips, Joey whimpered again, because he was kind of sexy when he did that.
