Closer Than You Think – Chapter Six
Joey watched Seto as he sat at his computer, apparently fascinated with whatever was on the screen. Yawning disinterestedly he curled up at his feet and promptly began snoring, in a doggy kind of way.
“Do you mind mutt, I’m trying to concentrate.”
‘Don’t call me a mutt!’ Joey yelled mentally, glaring at Seto.
“Why not? The name has never been more accurate.” The CEO replied.
‘Did he just read my mind!’
“No I did not. It’s pretty obvious what you were thinking. You say the same thing everytime.” Seto said nonchalantly, turing back to the screen.

A few hours later Joey was shaken roughly awake by a rather disheveled looking Seto.
“Come here mutt.” He snapped, picking the tired puppy up and dumping it on his desk.
Joey whined as a heavy, metal device was placed on his tiny head. Growling at the unknown object he tried to swat it off with his paws.
“Be careful stupid dog, that thing took ages to make.” Seto turned the thing on and it whirred to life.
Joey sat still for what seemed like, to him, an eternity before he suddenly found himself back in his human body.
“You did it Set!” He yelled, throwing himself at his boyfriend (or was it ex-boyfriend), only to go right through him.
“Stupid, you’re a hologram projection.” He pointed over to where the puppy sat on his desk, apparently in some kind of trance.
“Oh.” Joey looked disappointed.
“Oh? How about a thank you?”
“Sorry Set. I am grateful, but… ya know. I’m still a dog.”
Seto sighed, “At least you can speak now. And I don’t have to walk around talking to a dog like some kind of lunatic.”
Joey grinned, but his smile faded quickly, “Um, I know that there’s a lot going on right now… but I think we need to talk Seto.”
“I figured as much.”
“I’m sorry.” They both said at the same time.
“What are you sorry for puppy?” Seto asked incredulously, “I’m the one who was an ass.”
“I shouldn’t have pressured you. And I shouldn’t have walked out like that.”
“No, you were completely within your rights to do so. I should never have asked you to lie to your friends in the first place.”
“But I completely understand where you were coming from Seto. I should’ve been more supportive.” He hesitated, “I’d like to give it another try, If you’ll still have me?”
“Still have you. Stupid dog, of course I will. You never really left as far as I’m concerned.”
Forgetting that he was only a hologram Joey once again lunged at Seto, only to go right through him.
“Oh, right. I forgot about that.”
Seto laughed at his puppy, “Don’t worry, you can hug me all you want tonight.”
“Oh Seto, I plan on doing more than hugging you.”
Joey watched Seto as he sat at his computer, apparently fascinated with whatever was on the screen. Yawning disinterestedly he curled up at his feet and promptly began snoring, in a doggy kind of way.
