Judgment

Seto snarled as he was shoved down onto his knees in front of the large golden throne, tail lashing out and smacking the nearest guard. He smirked as he heard a yowl of pain, but the smirk was wiped off his face when one of the other guards punched him in the back of the head.

"We found him stealing food from the storehouses," one of the guards spat.

"Is that so…?"

Seto blinked in surprise and lifted his head to look up at the man on the throne. When he saw the blond sitting in it, he snarled again. "YOU!"

Joey grinned a grin that showed off all of his teeth. "Me!"

"You bastard, you selfish little—NNGAH!" The brunet yelped as one of the guards hit him again.

Joey frowned, then schooled his face into a neutral expression. "Leave us."

The guards frowned, obviously hesitant to follow orders. "But sir…"

"He's already proven to be quite dangerous-!"

"We shouldn't be—"

The blond closed his eyes and sighed in irritation, eyebrow twitching slightly as he gripped his hands into fists. "I protected myself very well before I ascended to the throne. I don't need a bunch of self-important guards hanging around when they're piss-poor at fighting and have already been injured by one measly prisoner. Get the fuck out of my sight. I'll speak with you later about how you've been abusing the prisoners." His eyes hardened. "Especially certain female prisoners."

Each guard paled and scattered. The door to the throne room slammed shut quite loudly.

Joey pursed his lips and sighed, then rolled his eyes as he stood. "They're startin' t' get outta hand." When the brunet didn't reply, instead setting his jaw stubbornly, he sighed again. "So now I hafta pass judgment on ya. Why ya gotta put me through this shit?"

Seto lashed his tail around the blond's waist and jerked him closer, unable to help a smirk when the black-scaled dragon yelped. Nuzzling into the younger boy's hip, he growled before twisting his tail around to force his knees to buckle.

"Ow-!" Joey squeaked nervously as the brunet crawled on top of him and flinched a little when the older dragon bared his teeth angrily. "Set-!"

"You're lucky my hands are tied behind my back, otherwise I would have torn your clothes off and claimed you like I should have claimed you years ago," he growled. "Pass judgment on me? Why don't you pass judgment on yourself, you fickle little hussy!"

Joey scowled and jerked his head away. "I haven't slept with anyone else, asshole."

"Is that because you haven't wanted to or because you're just too damn busy to stop your work long enough to get a good fuck?" Seto bristled a little when the blond flinched and stood, twisting the end of his tail through his shackles and then straightening it abruptly. He'd have some dark bruises on his wrists for a few weeks, but as the smaller dragon flinched and stared at the broken links of chain, he couldn't help the satisfaction he felt. "I was putting some food in the storehouse, not stealing it, and if this is how I'm going to be treated for bringing extra food for the less fortunate, they can starve."

"I-!" Joey flinched as the brunet immediately launched himself at one of the higher windows and flew through it, shattering the glass. "…Seto…" He bit his bottom lip, then ducked his head in shame. He'd made a decision between his lover and his job, and it appeared as if he'd made the wrong one.

.-.-.-.-.-.

"Seto, someone's at the door," Mokuba informed him, poking his head into the brunet's study. "Something about restitution."

Seto immediately bristled. 'I pissed him off so he's ordering me to pay restitution? I will murder this moron if it's the last thing I do.'

He stormed to the door, ready to rip off the head of whatever lackey dared to even think of ordering him to pay restitution. Opening the door swiftly, he snarled, lifting his hand to jam his claws into the interloper's throat, but paused when the blond flinched backward, clutching the small reed basket to his chest in terror. "…You."

Joey nodded slightly. "M-me. Um… Here's the restitution for your unlawful detainment," he whispered, holding out the basket to him nervously. "I had the storehouses inventoried and it was proved that you were bringin' more food, not stealin' it, so… The guards that arrested ya have been fired and replaced, and I've left someone else in charge of that stuff so it won't happen again. …I… I'd really like it if ya didn't let the poor starve." When the brunet didn't take the basket, he hesitantly set it at his feet and took a few steps backward. "If… if ya don't think that's enough, I… you'll hafta talk t' the new magistrate. We thought it would be enough, but the guards had been unnecessarily rough with ya, and—"

"New magistrate?" Seto tilted his head, unable to help the frown of confusion forming on his face. "You stepped down?"

"Yeah. I didn't like that job anyway," Joey mumbled, turning his gaze on his feet. He crossed his arms for a minute, then shrugged, instead clasping his hands in front of him and wringing them nervously. "I thought about what ya said, about passin' judgment on myself. …I… I didn't like what I found. So I thought I'd… I'd go away. See if I could make myself better somehow. Become the kind of dragon someone might like to mate with." He flinched as he heard the brunet take a sharp intake of breath and bit his bottom lip. "I know I'm not worth much right now, but I could earn some money while I'm away."

Seto scowled and walked down the steps to grab the blond's arms, ignoring the way he flinched and drawing the smaller dragon toward him. "You're not going anywhere."

"Ouch-!" Joey squirmed and tried to pull away. "Please let me go! I'm not trespassin' I was just deliverin' somethin' ya have no right t' hurt me for doin' that!"

The brunet rumbled quietly and released him in favor of sliding his arms around his waist. "I'm keeping you here so I can claim you, not so I can hurt you."

"Huh-?" The blond looked up at him in surprise, brows furrowing together in confusion. "You… Ya still want me?"

"I've always wanted you," Seto spat, scowling. "You're the one that left. What, was the sex not good enough for you? Were you hoping to find a richer man to mate with?"

"…Everyone said I was just a replacement, since your last mate died." Joey turned his gaze away, frowning. "I didn't wanna be a replacement. I thought, if I left, maybe we could both find someone different, someone that could fit our own needs. But I guess that didn't work, huh?"

Seto felt his ire begin to fade as he frowned. Mokuba had told him about the rumors of Joey just being his replacement, but he'd known it wasn't true, so he hadn't paid any attention to them. Apparently, the same couldn't be said for Joey, who was unused to being the topic of discussion.

"…You are not a replacement," Seto stated quietly, sliding his hands up to cup the blond's cheeks and force him to meet his eyes. "If I wanted a replacement, I would have chosen someone at least a little like her. You are nothing like her. …But you still draw out feelings in me that I thought only she could." He leaned in to kiss him lightly. "If I'd known you'd felt that way, I would have put you at ease. I'm sorry that I didn't reassure you then. I should have seen how uncomfortable you were getting."

He whined quietly as the tears forming in the blond's eyes rolled down his cheeks. "I should have seen how antsy you were getting, should have seen how distant you were becoming. I should have stopped you when you said you were leaving to be the magistrate. …I should have claimed you as my mate," he whispered. "I don't even remember why I hadn't claimed you before. Some stupid reason, I'm sure. I've never felt worse about anything in my life. You deserved a mate, not a sex-partner."

Joey sniffled awkwardly even as more tears coursed down his cheeks. "You have no idea how long I've waited t' hear that. I just didn't wanna get my hopes up."

Seto leaned down to kiss him gently. "I'm sorry."
