100 Puppies and Dragons

Author's Note: I've always imagined Joey to be bad at computers. I've also always imagined that Seto would be impatient whenever he tried to explain them.

Gateway

"…I still don't get it."

Seto made a noise that was a cross between a growl of annoyance and a sigh of desperation. "I don't know how to make it any easier for you to understand! It's just software or hardware that links two computer networks! It doesn't get any simpler!"

Joey stared at the computer screen for a few moments before turning toward him with pursed lips, ready to accuse him of getting upset too easily, but when he saw that the brunet was literally ready to rip his hair out in frustration, he changed his mind. "So… a gateway links two networks?"

The brunet sighed in relief. "Yes, that's exactly what it is."

"…Um…"

Seto's eye twitched. "Do you know what I mean by network, Joey?"

Joey opened his mouth to reply that no, he didn't, but when he saw the vein in his lover's temple begin to pulse, he thought better of it. "Of course I know what a network is, Seto."

"Explain to me what a network is then, Joey," the brunet hissed, scowling at him.

"It's… er… a thing where…" The younger boy squeaked nervously as he watched the brunet's hands grip into fists so tight his knuckles turned white. He flinched. "Er… Seto?"

"What?" Seto's eyes were nearly wild with his irritation.

"…Um… Ya want me t' blow ya?"

The brunet made a noise that would have been funny if Joey hadn't been afraid he was about to be murdered. "You waste my time for an hour and a half, make me so frustrated I want to scream, and your solution is to—to give me a blow job, as if that will make up for all of the frustration you've put me through?" he hissed, glaring at him.

"…So sex instead?"

Seto threw his hands up and let loose a roar that would have made his dragons proud. "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!"

"…It's a kinda long list," Joey mumbled, frowning. "If ya give me a couple minutes, I could write it out for ya."

"IT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION UGH!"

Joey stood nervously and watched as the older boy sagged into his vacated chair, looking exhausted and still annoyed. "…Ya sure ya don't wanna blow job?"

He watched the brunet tense up for a moment and wondered whether he should run the fuck away, but then he sagged in exhaustion. "I guess."

The blond was immediately disgruntled. "Well, ya don't hafta be so put-out about it."

"Just… go away…" Seto sighed, turning toward his computer. "Please, direct all of your computer questions to Mokuba from now on."

Joey scowled, then got on his hands and knees and promptly crawled under the desk. "Asshole, I wasn't offerin' because I thought ya needed it, I was offerin' 'cause I wanted t' give ya one."

"Well then next time just say you want to give me a blow job," Seto grouched.

Joey answered, but it was muffled, and Seto was too distracted to listen properly.
