Joey the cleaner

(A/N): Another short chapter… I promise the next one will be longer again! So from who did Joey get a phone call…?? Read and find out! ^_^

Summary: After graduation, Joey has never found a proper job. So to make sure he can stay in his flat and doesn’t have to live on the streets and to be able to pay all his bills, he took a job as a cleaner (and in the weekends, he works at the local snack bar). But he’s ashamed of his job and doesn’t tell his friends. So what will happen when he has to clean at Kaibacorp…and Seto Kaiba discovers his little secret?

Warnings: swearing, yaoi!! The entire story is from Joey’s pov.
Pairing: Seto/Joey


I gulped and took a deep breath as I stood in front of Seto’s office door. I hadn’t dressed up this time, just a simple sweater and a pair of faded jeans. I felt a pit in my stomach. How was I going to explain this to him? And was I willing to lose my job over Seto? I mean, I loved him, but I didn’t even know if he felt the same for me. Was it worth it?
I raised my hand and knocked on the door, barely audible. I waited for the usual “come in,” but instead the door suddenly swung open and I was pulled inside. Before I could react I was shoved against the wall and 2 lips roughly pressed on mine. My eyes widened dramatically as I recognized Seto, but then closed them and started to return the kiss. I tangled my fingers into his hair and pulled him closer. Obviously he had been waiting for me. Made me wonder for a moment if he had been waiting all day, longing for me.
I moaned into his mouth as Seto slid his hand under my sweater and began flicking my nipples. He left my lips and kissed his way to my jaw and earlobe. His hands traveled down my chest as I felt his tongue ran over my skin. He started to unbutton my pants when suddenly…
Common sense kicked in. My eyes shot open as I realized what we were doing and I pushed Seto away abruptly. He stumbled backwards in surprise and stared dumbfounded at me.
“What the hell?!” he yelled.
“Seto…we can’t do this.” I was breathing hard by now.
“What do you mean?” He narrowed his eyes. “You’re not having regrets, are you?”
I gasped and quickly shook my head.
“N-No, I don’t! B-but I….I…”
Oh god, how was I going to tell him this? Suddenly shy, I stared at the floor. Hey, there was a spot there! I’d have to remember to clean that.
Seto slid his fingers under my chin and forced me to look up to him. I blushed fiercely as I stared into his deep blues. He frowned.
“What is it?”
“I-I…you…” I stammered. I smacked myself mentally for stammering like that, I must’ve looked like an idiot.
“Spit it out already!” he said, losing his patience.
“The…the cleaning company called this afternoon.”
“And?”
“Well, they…they saw me leaving early yesterday,” I spoke softly. “Apparently someone of the cleaning company was in the hall yesterday and saw me leaving.”
I took a deep breath and continued:
“They are watching me closely now. I-if I make one more mistake, they’ll fire me…”
The last part came out in a near whisper.
I carefully glanced up at Seto to see his reaction. He didn’t look too pleased.
“I’m sorry, Seto, but if they discover what we’re doing up here I’m done for. I have a huge bill and my rent to pay, I can’t afford to lose my job,” I explained, hoping he’d understand and would spare me.
Seto stared intensely at me, then turned around and stomped off to his desk. He collapsed down on his chair and sighed, closing his eyes. He waved his hand nonchalantly at me.
“Go do your job.”
I bit my bottom lip and did as told. While I moped the floor I stole a glance of Seto once in a while. I felt guilty, he didn’t look very happy. And that was all my fault…no, no, I couldn’t think like that !The cleaning company was at fault, not me!
I sighed deeply, moping the floor, wondering what would happen now.idn’idn’t dare to ask the brunette to meet me after work, maybe in the weekend. I was too afraid for rejection. But on the other hand, I didn’t want it to end like this! We were just getting started!
Suddenly Seto’s eyes shot open he bhe began typing on his laptop frantically, mumbling to himself. I jumped and glared at him, did he have to move so abruptly?
I wondered what he was doing. He had this…determined look in his eyes. Would I dare to ask? Nah…better not disturb him now and keep my curiosity under control.
“I’ve got it!” Seto suddenly yelled. I almost fell over in surprise.
“What?” I asked, a little irritated because I just bumped my leg painfully on the bucket because of his little outburst.
“I’ve solved your problem.”
I hiked an eyebrow. Had he gone nuts?
“What are you babbling about, Kaiba?”
The CEO looked up at me, his eyes glimmering.
“Joey, that huge bill you were talking about…was that an electricity bill of $300?”
I stared at him in disbelieve.
“How do you…”
“I just paid it.”
I blinked. My mind hadn’t really registered yet what he was saying.
“What?” I asked confused.
“I also paid your rent for the next 3 months,” Seto added.
I think my jaw dropped to the floor at that moment. It took a while before it dawned on me what he was saying. He just solved my financial problems for the next 3 months!
I dropped the mop on the floor, ran at Seto and threw my arms around him, pouncing on him. I certainly took him by surprise.
“Thank yoooooooooooouuuuuuuuuu!!!!!”
My day just turned from bad to the best ever!
“Hey! Get off of me!”
Seto tried pushing me away. I blushed and quickly let him out of my death grip hug. I smiled, feeling really happy.
“Thank you so much!”
I couldn’t believe he had done that for me.
“Before you go bouncing around, pup, there’s another thing I have to do,” Seto said. I looked curiously as he began typing on his laptop again. I frowned as I saw he had looked up the phone number of the cleaning company.
“What are you going to do?”
“You’ll see,” the brunette answered mysteriously. He pulled me on his lap and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He dialed the number, then put the phone on the speakers so I could hear it too.
“Cleaning company Spiffy, Bill Duck speaking.” (A/N: lame names, I know! :P)
“This is Seto Kaiba.”
“What? Seto Kaiba? You mean, THE Seto Kaiba?”
Seto sighed annoyed. I giggled softly.
“Yes, THE Seto Kaiba.”
“What can I do for you, sir?” that so called Bill asked, his voice suddenly all too sweet.
“I’m calling about one of your cleaners, Joey Wheeler.”
I frowned, suddenly becoming a little nervous. I didn’t entirely trust Seto yet, and hoped he wasn’t planning on pulling some sick trick again.
“What is it with him, sir? If he did something wrong, then I’ll…”
“He didn’t do anything wrong,” Seto cut in rudely. “But I believe there was a misunderstanding between him and your company this afternoon.”
It was silent on the other side for a moment.
“Excuse me, sir?” Bill then asked, sounding utterly confused.
“You see, mister Duck, mister Wheeler told me he got accused of leaving work too early yesterday. But in fact he worked overtime, because I asked him to clean my house and he did so till late in the evening. And he didn’t even ask you for more wages for it.”
“But he has no proof he cleaned your house last evening, sir,” the other protested.
“Are you doubting my words?” Seto said, making his voice grumble low in the back of his throat.
“N-no, sir!” Bill said terrified. I tried hard to suppress my laughter.
“Good. Now I suggest you offer mister Wheeler your apologies and give him a rise.”
“I will do that immediately, sir. I’m terribly sorry for this misunderstanding.”
“Whatever,” the CEO simply said, then hung up. Then he turned to me and looked expectantly.
“I can’t believe you just did that,” I said. He frowned.
“What, you don’t like it? I can turn it all back now if you want.”
I shrugged and smiled.
“It’s not that I don’t like it, I just don’t need you to do this all for me. I can perfectly manage on my own, you now!”
Seto smirked.
“Yes, but if I had let you handle this situation I couldn’t fuck you tonight because you would be afraid to get caught.”
I snickered and shook my head. That guy was unsurpassable! Leave it to him to state bluntly what he wants!
Seto closed his face in on me and spoke in a low, seductive tone:
“And I always get what I want, puppy.”
Then he pressed his lips on mine, kissing me hard and passionately. I deepened the kiss and let him take full control, giving into him completely. The heat was rising quickly and his hands were soon working with the buttons of my pants again. I pulled away for a moment and grinned.
“You know, it would’ve been cheaper to just get a whore.”
Seto chuckled and pulled me to his chest.
“But then I would have to wait longer, wouldn’t I?” he said while he started to kiss my neck. I tilted my head back to give him more space.
“Aren’t you impatient tonight.”
He buckled his hips up to prove his obvious impatience, making me moan softly. But before things would get out of control I pushed him away gently again, letting my hands rest on his shoulder. I gazed deep into his eyes.
“Seriously, Seto, I don’t need your money.”
Seto sighed.
“Will you accept it already?! I thought you’d be happy to be out of your financial problems for a while!”
I swear, he was pouting.
I smiled and wiped a few strands of hair out of his face so I could see his eyes better.
“Of course I’m happy! But I’m also an adult now, I can’t always depend on somebody else’s money.”
It was obvious the brunette was getting annoyed. Well, sorry, but I just didn’t want him to think I couldn’t handle my own business.
“I know you’re independent, so cut it out already. I don’t want to discuss this.”
I grinned, finding his irritation somewhat amusing. I winked and said:
“Just for this time, I’ll accept your gift, but next time I’ll return it to you!”
Then I kissed him at my best to show him I was grateful. I planned on rewarding him tonight…
We pulled apart for the much needed oxygen and I stared into his eyes, admiring their beauty.
“Seto,” I whined playfully, “I bumped my leg on the bucket and now I can’t walk! Will you bring me home?”
I looked at him with my infamous puppy dog eyes and pouted.
“Pwease???”
Seto rolled his eyes.
“Which leg, puppy?”
I ignored his nickname for me and sniffled.
“Sniff. The left.”
I held up my left leg and he shove up the leg of my pants, revealing a blue bruise on my shin. He bent forwards and kissed the bruise gently. He pressed his lips featherlight on my skin several times. I moaned softly as he flicked out his tongue while he ran his hand up to my thigh, missing my sex on purpose. He chuckled and sat straight again, keeping his hand near mrdenrdening member.
“You’re a little moaner.”
I buckled my hips up, begging silently for him to touch me.
“Do you mind?” I asked.
“No.”
“Then stop complaining.”
Seto smirked and kissed my throat, nibbling on my earlobe. I shivered as he ran his hand up and down between my legs slowly to tease me.
“Oh no, puppy, I won’t,” he whispered huskily in my ear. “Because I want to hear you scream.”
I gasped as he groped me and I let out a loud moan.
“Then let’s…get out of here,” I panted. I was incredibly turned on and didn’t think I could wait any longer for my release. So Seto quickly packed everything and we raced to my house. He pushed me against the front door of my apartment, getting impatient himself. I managed to open the door as soon as possible with a sexy CEO licking and touching me.
We stumbled inside. We didn’t even bother to go to the bedroom, we quickly discarded ourselves of our clothes and banged against the wall, on the ground and on the couch till we were completely exhausted. I was sure my ass would hurt like hell tomorrow, but it was damn well worth it.
Seto collapsed on top of me, totally spent. It was already far past midnight. Though I loved the sex, I needed my rest, so it was time to sleep now.
“Seto, let’s call it a day, alright? I’m exhausted,” I said, the fatigue clearly audible in my voice. He nodded slightly and dragged himself to his feet. I got up also and we stumbled to my bedroom. No words were spoken as we crawled into bed and snuggled up against each other. I mumbled a quick “goodnight” before I was fast asleep.
