Living to Die

By Hideki LaShae

Chapter Two � To Live Safe in Your Arms

�� So�
where�s my room?� asks Joey.
�� Your
room?�
�� Yeah� if
I�m going to be staying here forever, I should have a place to sleep. Do you
want me to stay in your room with you? Because if you don�t, or if you�re not
ready for a commitment like that, then I�ll need my own room to stay in,� says
Joey.
�� You stay
with me?�
�� Okay! I�ll
stay in your room. Which way? I�d like to take a bath before bed, and I think
you should too!� exclaims Joey, �It�ll help you to relax, and you could use
some time to relax! Especially after a big meal like that one!�
�� I have a
rather large bathtub in my private bathroom,� says Seto.
�� Great!�
exclaims Joey grabbing Seto�s hand, �Lead the way!�
�� Seto smiles
at the hand clasping his, and he leads Joey up the stairs and to his room.
�� Joey
whistles when he sees the Queen-sized bed with the canopy overhead. He tries
not to step on any of the clothes that clutter the floor as he looks around
him. �You really do have a nice house, Seto.�
�� But it�s
too quiet� too lonely,� says Seto releasing Joey�s hand and walking over to his
dresser. He opens a drawer and starts shuffling through its contents. �And it�s
not my house� It�s our house, Joey� yours, Mokuba�s, and mine. As long as you
live here with Mokuba and I, this will be your home.�
�� So� uh� is
this what your room normally looks like? Or could this be caused by your
depression?� asks Joey moving around the clutter.
�� Well�
normally my room is spotless,� says Seto with a sigh as he turns to look around
the room. �But� I haven�t been myself recently.�
�� Don�t
worry! We�ll get you back to acting the way you always did!� exclaims Joey,
�And I don�t mean just acting! I�ve played the role of the happy teen that�s
really totally heartbroken inside! It�s not a pretty sight!� He walks over to
Seto and wraps his arm around his shoulders. He looks into the dresser drawer
and raises an eyebrow at the assortment of boxer shorts contained within.
�� Seto
swallows hard. �So, Joey� who gets the tub first?�
�� No way,
Seto! I�m not letting you out of my sight! Not until I know for certain that
you�re not going to do something to hurt yourself. I�m not letting you drown
yourself! No one dies on Joey Wheeler�s watch!� exclaims Joey.
�� So� you�re
going to be watching me take a bath?� asks Seto blushing.
�� Well� I
could, but I�d rather take a bath with you,� says Joey grabbing Seto�s hand and
pulling him towards a door along the right-hand wall. �Come on, I�ll wash your
back!�
�� Joey��
�� No
complaints, Seto,� says Joey opening the door and pulling Seto into the
darkness. He closes the door as Seto reaches for the light switch.
�� Uh� Joey�
why are we in the closet?�
�� It�s your
fault for having a walk-in closet,� says Joey opening the door again and
pulling Seto out of the closet. He pulls Seto over to the other wall and
through the door on that side.
�� Seto turns
on the lights.
�� Your
bathroom is bigger than my bedroom�� Joey glares at the icy blue tiles on the
walls. He quickly unbuttons his uniform shirt while he walks to the side of the
tub. He pulls his shirt off and drops it to the floor behind him. Then he turns
the water on and starts to run a piping hot bath.
�� Why am I
letting you do all this?� asks Seto.
�� Joey shrugs
his shoulders and turns to look at Seto. �I don�t know. But just maybe, this is
what you need. Maybe you need someone to take control for a little while. I�m
sure that after you�ve recovered, you�ll drop me back into my place.�
�� Then I
hope I never recover. I want you in my life. I want you in my arms,� says Seto,
�right now.�
�� Joey stands
up and walks over to Seto. He stands just inches in front of the other boy.
�� Seto runs
his hands along Joey�s bare arms and pulls him into a long embrace. �I don�t
want to let you go.�
�� Seto, if
you don�t let go soon, we�ll flood the bathroom,� says Joey.
�� Seto slowly
releases Joey, and Joey turns back to shut the water off.
�� Seto lets
his eyes trail along Joey�s exposed flesh, watching how the muscles contract
beneath his chest, and he longs to touch the skin to see if it feels as soft as
it looks.
�� Seto� are
you a virgin?� asks Joey, �Do you feel comfortable undressing around me?�
�� We�re just
a couple of guys,� says Seto blushing, �Why would it matter?�
�� Because
we�re sort of in love,� says Joey, �and I don�t know how ready you are to be
involved like this. If you don�t feel comfortable being naked around me, I
suppose I could step into the bedroom while you get into the tub.�
�� I�m okay,
Joey. Yes, this all does seem rather sudden, and I am self-conscious about
revealing myself to you, but I don�t want you to leave either,� says Seto, �I
want you to stay with me. And yes, I am still a virgin.� He starts to slowly
unbutton his shirt.
�� Joey moves
over and starts from the bottom of Seto�s shirt, helping him with the buttons.
Once the buttons are all loosened, he pushes the shirt off Seto�s shoulders and
down to the floor.
�� Seto
unbuttons his pants and lowers the zipper. He pushes them down his legs to
reveal his plain black boxers. He pulls his shoes and socks off quickly while
he finishes pulling his pants off.
�� Joey kicks
his shoes off and removes his socks. Then he removes his own pants and drops
them to the floor.
�� You can
borrow some of my clothes until you have the chance to bring your things back
here,� says Seto. He stares at Joey�s boxers with their pink heart-shapes
spread out across the surface. He chuckles. �Nice boxers!�
�� Hey!� Joey
blushes.
�� Seto
reaches out his hand towards Joey�s waist, but at the last second, he shifts his
hand down and runs his fingers along the other�s cock before grabbing the
material in front of it and yanking it down to the owner�s ankles, kneeling as
he does so.
�� Joey steps
out of his boxers blushing even redder at the sight of Seto on his knees in front
of him and his own emerging arousal.
�� Seto stands
up staring at Joey�s manhood. �Tell me that you were able to satisfy Mai.�
�� Too well,
I�m afraid,� says Joey chuckling.
�� Seto pushes
his boxers down and steps out of them. Considering his height and physical
stature, one would think that he would be more endowed than the shorter boy he
loves, but they would be wrong. The first thing he actually notices is how
their pride and joys are the same length and nearly the same width.
�� Joey steps
into the bathtub. �Come on in, Seto.�
�� Seto steps
into the bathtub and into Joey�s open arms.
�� Joey helps
lower them both into the extremely warm water. He wraps both his arms and his
legs around his new boyfriend. He kisses Seto�s forehead. �I love you, Seto.�
�� Seto caresses
Joey�s chest and listens to the heartbeat within. �I know, Joey. I love you in
return!�
�� Joey grabs
a bar of soap and starts to massage Seto�s chest with the bar of soap in his
hands.
�� You said
Yugi�s birthday is Sunday,� says Seto.
�� Yes it
is,� says Joey nodding, �You can go in on the present I got him. He�ll never
notice.�
�� What did
you get him?� asks Seto.
�� Yugi and I
have this sort of arrangement,� says Joey, �Each year, I get him a new game,
and we always play it together on his birthday. This year I got him a game from
America. It�s a word game called Scrabble. He�ll really enjoy it. Maybe more
than some of the other gifts I�ve heard he�s getting!�
�� What gifts
would those be?� asks Seto resting his head against Joey and closing his eyes.
�� Well, you
know he�s dating T�a, right?� asks Joey, and when he feels the nod against his
chest, he continues, �Bakura decided to get him something intimate for them. He
mentioned maybe some lotions that are specifically designed as sexual
lubricants or maybe even handcuffs so that Yugi could get some rest from T�a
occasionally. She�s pretty wild in the sack from what I hear, and Yugi�s always
so tired because she just wears him out. I think she would probably think the
handcuffs were kinky or something!�
�� I don�t
think I needed that visual image in my mind,� says Seto.
�� Joey
chuckles. �There were times when I actually tried to visualize some of the
things I heard she�d do with Yugi. I used that as a way of disgusting myself so
that I wouldn�t get an erection at the wrong time. Of course, it was always
after I had seen you do something and gotten totally turned on.�
�� I turn you
on?�
�� Like a
light bulb!�
�� Good.�
Seto inhales Joey�s sweet scent. �Yugi was limping these past few days, wasn�t
he?�
�� You�re observant!
Yeah, he was. It was all T�a�s fault of course! I don�t know how she did it,
and I dare not ask, but she really hurt Yugi during sex last weekend,� says
Joey, �So all week, he hasn�t been able to get an erection! Not like he wants
to at the moment� It hurts him to even take a piss!�
�� I never
imagined T�a being wild in bed. She always seems so reserved,� says Seto, �I
thought she would want to be married before having sex.� He chuckles.
�� Apparently
not,� says Joey. He slides his hands down from Seto�s chest over to his
stomach, and he continues to knead the soap into Seto�s skin.
�� Would he
be upset if I came to his party?� asks Seto.
�� I don�t
see why he would be. He invited you,� says Joey, �I know. I mailed your
invitation personally. Didn�t you get it?�
�� Mokuba has
been reading all of my mail,� says Seto, �I just couldn�t be bothered.�
�� I bet he�s
been really worried about you,� says Joey, �Watching you get this way and not
being able to help you. You should see a doctor. They have medicine for
depression now you know. I don�t know if it would help you, but it certainly
couldn�t hurt� unless you try to O.D. on it.�
�� I will see
a doctor, for you, Joey,� says Seto, �but you need to come with me.�
�� I won�t
leave your side for a minute!� exclaims Joey happily. He kisses Seto�s ear to
make him squirm. Then he slides his soapy hands even further down Seto�s body
until they wrap around his shaft.
�� Seto gasps
quietly, and his eyes widen.
�� I�m
sorry,� says Joey releasing Seto. He blushes. �I was just trying to get you
washed up and ready for bed.�
�� No� Don�t
stop, Joey,� says Seto as his manhood awakens.
�� Just this
once,� whispers Joey, �as sort of a promise between men� a promise that I won�t
stop loving you no matter what. But the next time I do this, it had better be
with the self-confidant, devoted Seto Kaiba that I fell in love with first.�
�� Anything
you say, puppy,� says Seto.
�� Joey
returns his hands to Seto�s penis and starts to run his hands along the length,
first slowly with light touches that barely put any of the soap upon the skin,
but then his grip tightens, and he moves faster and faster. He feels his own
body trying to awaken, but he wills it to remain asleep.
�� Seto
reaches behind him to grasp onto Joey�s shoulders, and he arches his back as
the ultimate pleasure embraces him. He moans loudly.
�� You sound
like you enjoyed that,� whispers Joey into Seto�s ear.
�� Seto rolls
over in Joey�s arms and wraps his arms tightly around his chest. He rests his
head against Joey�s neck and starts to kiss it lightly. �I did enjoy that. You
must get a lot of practice with that. You�re quite good.�
�� Well� I
can�t say that I haven�t had dreams about times like this� with you,� says
Joey, �and each time after I had one, I would take a cold shower. When that
wouldn�t work to satisfy my hunger for you, I would practice.�
�� I�ve had
dreams of you too,� says Seto, �Most of which involve you wearing dog ears and
a collar, and giving me a hand-job while you bang me senseless.�
�� I wouldn�t
mind wearing a collar for you, Seto,� says Joey.
�� That can
be arranged, Joey. The water is starting to cool down,� says Seto, �We should
finish our bath and go to bed. Do you normally sleep naked?�
�� I wear
boxers,� says Joey.
�� Me too.
You can borrow some of mine.�
�� Joey nods and
continues his work to scrub every inch of Seto�s body. He even washes and
conditions Seto�s hair for him, and he insists on drying his love after they
both get out of the bathtub.
�� The two
boys pause only long enough to slip on clean boxers before they climb into the
bed together and cuddle close to each other to fall asleep.

�� *�� *�� *

�� Seto
snuggles closer to the warm body beside him, and he breathes in the familiar
scent. For a moment, he doesn�t realize where he is. He recognizes the scent,
but he doesn�t remember where it comes from. He thinks about opening his eyes
to see the source of that wonderful scent, but he sets his mind against that
idea. He�d much rather remain ignorant and safe in this person�s arms than find
out he�s in bed with a monster, but things like that only happen in nightmares.
Still� he decides to play it safe. He slides his hand along the bare chest
beneath his fingertips. He hears a quiet chuckle beneath him and the body
squirms lightly.
�� A pair of
strong arms wraps tightly around Seto�s shoulders, and a more than familiar
voice speaks quietly, �Are you awake, Seto?�
�� Puppy�
Joey?� asks Seto blinking his eyes open. He lifts his head and looks into
Joey�s honey-brown eyes. He smiles as all the events from the night before suddenly
rush through his mind.
�� Hey, Seto.
How did you sleep?� asks Joey.
�� Better
than I ever have in my entire life,� says Seto with a gentle sigh, �I�ve never
had this good a night�s sleep, and it�s all because of you.� He moves to kiss
Joey, half on the cheek and half on the lips. �Thank you.�
�� Not that I
really want to move,� says Joey slowly, �but my body�s telling me I need to go,
so maybe we should get up.�
�� Seto rolls
over onto his back away from Joey.
�� Your bed
is so comfortable!� exclaims Joey sitting up and stretching his arms and
shoulders.
�� Our bed,�
corrects Seto.
�� Joey
chuckles. �Yeah. Our bed is so comfortable!�
�� Seto
watches Joey as the blond haired boy stands up and stretches again on his way
to the bathroom.
�� Joey!
That�s the closet again!� exclaims Seto chuckling.
�� Joey walks
out of the closet blushing a deep red. �You should label these doors, Seto!�
�� Yes,
puppy, whatever you say!� exclaims Seto sitting up in bed.
�� Whatever I
say?� asks Joey smiling evilly.
�� Yes�
you�re my puppy, and if it will make you happy, I�d do anything,� says Seto
with an honest and sincere smile.
�� Joey moves
back over to the bed and crawls into it on all fours like a dog would do. He
cocks his head to the side as he looks at Seto with the puppy-dog eyes that
almost always get him anything from his friends and his little sister,
Serenity. �Puppy wants master to be happy too. That would make puppy happy.�
�� Seto�s eyes
widen. �Master?�
�� Joey nods
as he crawls up so that he�s straddling Seto. �Every puppy needs a master. If
I�m your puppy, then you must be my master.�
�� Seto
swallows hard and falls backwards to lie on the bed again.
�� I love
you, Seto, and I would do anything to make you happy. I�m yours,� says Joey,
�your boyfriend, your puppy� I want you to be mine, my boyfriend, but if I�m a
puppy, then I want you to be my master too.�
�� I can�t
take care of you like a master should. I can�t even take care of myself,� says
Seto.
�� You don�t
need to take care of me to be my master. You just have to love me like you�ve
never loved anyone before! You�re the only person I�ve ever really loved, Seto,
and if you just love me the way I love you, then you�ll be my master,� says
Joey looking into the cerulean blue eyes.
�� I never
have loved anyone before! And I think I do love you the way you love me, just
as greatly, just as deeply. I love you, Joey! You�re my puppy, and I�ll be your
master!� Seto grabs Joey quickly and pulls him down on top of him. He kisses
Joey and nips at his lips.
�� Joey opens
his mouth as Seto kisses him.
�� Seto
plunges his tongue into Joey�s mouth and fights the tongue within for
dominance.
�� Joey sucks
on Seto�s tongue for a moment as he runs his fingers through his lover�s hair.
�� Seto moans
happily. He places one hand on Joey�s tight butt and pulls him down harder so
that their groins grind into each other.
�� Joey takes
advantage of this moment to force his tongue into Seto�s mouth. He pulls out of
the kiss after several long minutes. �Now I really need to go to the bathroom,
but I�ll be back in a minute so we can continue this!�
�� Seto groans
as Joey climbs off him, breaking the intimate contact that their bodies had
just a few moments before.
�� Joey walks
into the bathroom this time. He lifts the toilet seat and stands in front of
it.
�� Seto walks
into the bathroom behind Joey and wraps his arms around his love�s waist.
�� Come on,
Seto! I�m trying to take a leak here!� exclaims Joey.
�� Don�t
puppies usually hike their legs and mark their territory?� asks Seto.
�� Yeah��
�� Why
haven�t you marked your territory?�
�� Uh� what
territory is that?� asks Joey.
�� Me��
�� How do you
want me to mark you?� asks Joey blushing a deep burgundy, �You want me to take
a leak on your leg or something?�
�� Seto
laughs. It�s a genuine laugh, and it doesn�t sound hollow like he thinks it
should. He finds it odd how just a few moments with this boy can break him free
from his depression so easily, maybe not for long, but for the moment he is
genuinely happy.
�� Joey
finishes watering the toilet bowl and flushes it. He steps away from Seto to
the sink and washes his hands. He turns back towards Seto as he dries them.
�So� how do you want me to mark you?�
�� Seto
smiles. �Any way you want!�
�� I�ll need
to think about that. I mean, I could bite you, but that would hurt you, and I
don�t want to do that, so I have to think of something that won�t hurt you, but
will still tell people that you belong to Joey Wheeler!� Joey moves back over
to Seto and kisses his lips. �You have to mark me as your property too you
know.�
�� I already
have the perfect thing in mind for my puppy. A pretty blue dog collar with tags
that say you belong to me,� says Seto, �but if you get to be too disobedient,
I�ll have to get a leash for you.�
�� I�ll obey
you,� whispers Joey.
�� Then go
back into the bedroom and wait for me on the bed,� says Seto, �I�ll just be a
few minutes.�
�� Joey bites
his lower lip uncertainly. �You promise you won�t try to hurt yourself while
I�m gone?�
�� I swear on
your life� as long as you live, so will I,� says Seto.
�� Joey nods.
�I�ll be waiting.�
�� Seto smiles
as Joey steps out of the bathroom. He turns towards the toilet and quickly
relieves himself. He flushes and washes his hands and face before he heads back
out to Joey. He lies down in the bed beside Joey and stares at the wild blond
hair and brown eyes. �I love you.�
�� Joey
smiles. �I love you.�
�� Seto
nestles up against Joey. �What should we do today? Yugi�s party isn�t until
tomorrow.�
�� Let�s see�
first, we get dressed� maybe not completely, but I�m not going to cook in my
boxers� well, your boxers. Then we�ll go downstairs and I�ll make us some
breakfast,� says Joey, �and maybe we�ll head out to buy me that collar.�
�� We�ll stop
by your house to pick up your things as well,� says Seto, �Since you�ll be
staying here with me from now on.�
�� Joey nods.
�After that, we�ll find something to do.�
�� Seto nods.
�I�ll leave you alone for awhile when you�re making dinner. I have to see if
Mokuba�s made a mess of my corporation.�
�� Don�t you
have a laptop?� asks Joey.
�� Yes��
�� Then you
can do your work in the kitchen with me,� says Joey smiling.
�� Seto
smiles, and he nods his head.
�� How do you
feel?�
�� A million
times better than I did walking home alone yesterday afternoon,� says Seto,
�I�m glad I dropped those books.�
�� I�m glad I
was there to help pick you back up.�
�� Seto climbs
off the bed and walks into the closet. After a few moments of silence, he walks
out with two sets of clothes. He tosses a pair of black leather pants and a
cerulean blue mesh tank top over Joey�s head before he sets his own chosen
clothes on the side of the bed.
�� Joey gets
up and looks at the clothes. �So� you want me to wear this, huh?�
�� Is
something wrong with it?� asks Seto.
�� Nope� just
curious if there was a specific reason for these clothes,� says Joey raising
his eyebrows as he pulls the tank top on. He notices how it is slightly loose
on his body, but not nearly big enough to be loose on Seto were he wearing it
instead.
�� I thought
it would look rather� um� hot� on you,� mumbles Seto. He pulls on a pair of
tight blue jeans and fastens them up.
�� Joey smiles
as he slips the leather pants on and smoothes out his boxer shorts beneath the
binding leather fabric before zipping them up and fastening the button.
�� Seto pulls
a long sleeved, cream-colored Henley shirt over his head and smoothes it out.
�Your hair�s a mess, Joey. Let me fix it for you.�
�� Um...
okay,� says Joey as Seto opens a drawer on his nightstand and pulls out his
hairbrush.
�� Seto walks
over to Joey and quickly brushes the blond hairs into place. Then he brushes his
own hair and replaces the brush in the nightstand. �I�ll clean my room today
too. Everything just needs to go to the laundry room anyway.�
�� But we
will go buy something for me to make for dinner, right?� asks Joey smiling, �I
have this great recipe I want to make for you, but I noticed yesterday that you
don�t have half of the ingredients!�
�� Yes! We�ll
go shopping!� exclaims Seto smiling, �You�ll get your own credit card later,
but until then I can let you borrow mine!�
�� Joey pulls
Seto into a quick kiss. �Great! Now I�m ready for breakfast! What do you like?�
�� I don�t
normally eat breakfast,� says Seto.
�� You�re
going to start!� exclaims Joey grabbing Seto�s hand and pulling him from their
bedroom.
�� Seto pulls
Joey down to the kitchen.
�� Do you
like waffles?� asks Joey as he searches through the cabinets.
�� On
occasion,� says Seto.
�� Joey pulls
out an electric waffle iron. He hurries to get down some ingredients, and he
starts to make up the mix in a large bowl. �There are some strawberries in the
fridge if you want to have some of them on your waffles. There�s whipped cream
in the freezer too!�
�� Seto opens
the freezer and finds the container of whipped cream. He pulls it out and sets
it on the counter. He blushes as he looks at Joey for a second before opening
the refrigerator and looking for the strawberries. He pulls open a drawer in
the bottom and sees the package of strawberries. He grabs it and pulls it out
to set beside the whipped cream. Then he closes the door.
�� So� does
Mokuba know you�re gay?� asks Joey. He plugs the waffle iron in so that it can
start preheating. He pulls two plates down from the cabinet and sets them on
the counter. Then he returns to mixing the batter.
�� No� does
Serenity?�
�� No. And
she�s still not talking to me,� says Joey, �So I guess our relationship
wouldn�t matter to her. She didn�t even call me when she heard that I�d tried
to kill myself.�
�� So you
don�t know what�s been happening with her recently?� asks Seto.
�� Not a
clue. Mom�s not talking to me either,� says Joey stirring the waffle batter,
�She�s upset because I upset Serenity, but she doesn�t know what I did.�
�� Serenity
has become close to Mokuba,� says Seto, �They aren�t dating as far as I know.
They�re just really close friends. So you might see her here.�
�� I wonder
if she would keep coming if she knew I live here now,� says Joey.
�� I don�t
know,� says Seto opening the package of strawberries and the whipped cream. He
lifts a strawberry and scoops some of the cream onto it. He steps up beside
Joey and holds up the tempting treat. �Here, puppy.�
�� Joey raises
his eyebrows and looks at Seto.
�� Go on and
take it,� says Seto.
�� Joey opens
his mouth and takes the strawberry into it, but a little of the whipped cream
remains on his lips. �Yummy.�
�� Seto slides
closer to Joey and licks the whipped cream from his lover�s lips. He smiles.
�Very yummy.�
�� Joey
giggles rather girlishly.
�� Seto moves
back over to the strawberries and cream. �I hope Mokuba doesn�t mind you coming
to live with us.�
�� Do you
think he would?� Joey pours some of the batter onto the waffle iron to cook,
and he closes the lid.
�� I don�t
know, but I think he might decide he wants Serenity to move in after he finds
out you�re living here,� says Seto, �He mentioned something to me about being
worried about her. I was too far in my own world to understand what he was
talking about though.�
�� I hope
nothing�s wrong with Serenity!� exclaims Joey with widening eyes.
�� Maybe you
should call your mom and ask her,� suggests Seto, �The phone�s right over there
on the wall.�
�� Joey checks
on the waffle before going over to grab the cordless phone. He takes a deep
breath as he dials his mom�s number.
�� <<Hello,
Wheeler residence!>> comes a familiar voice.
�� Hey, mom.
It�s Joey.�
�� <<Joey!
Where the hell have you been? Your father has been calling here every hour to
find out where you are! What the hell are you thinking running away from home
like that?>> screeches his mom.
�� Mom! Calm
down! Everything�s okay! I�m staying with a friend, and who said I ran away
from home? I went directly from school to my friend�s house!� exclaims Joey, �I
didn�t run away from home!�
�� <<Well,
your father sure thinks you did! He�s worried sick! Did you tell him that you
were going to be spending the night with this friend?>>
�� Well� no.
It was a sudden decision,� says Joey, �I needed the company.�
�� <<Were
you thinking about killing yourself again? Oh, Joey, I wish you could confide
in me and tell me what�s so wrong that you think death is the only way
out!>>
�� Well,
yeah� there was a lot of talk of death last night, Mom, but no one�s going to
die. We�ve both decided that there are a lot of things worth living for,� says
Joey with a smile to Seto. He checks the waffle again and takes it up from the
waffle iron. He pours some more batter in to cook. �I�m not going to kill
myself.�
�� <<You
should call your father. He�s worried sick!>>
�� Yeah. I�ll
call Dad,� says Joey, �Sorry, I didn�t mean to worry you both. But I didn�t
call just to check in.�
�� <<What
is it, Joey? What�s wrong?>>
�� Well�
Serenity isn�t talking to me anymore, and I�ve been hearing some things about
her. I�m worried for her. Is she okay?� asks Joey with a sigh.
�� <<I
really don�t know, Joey. She�s not telling me anything either,>> says his
mother, <<I wish she would at least talk to you. Please� can you try to
talk to her again? She used to always tell you everything, but now� she doesn�t
want to talk to anyone!>>
�� Is she
there now, Mom?�
�� <<No�
she went over to a friend�s house for the weekend.>>
�� Okay� but
give me a call when she gets back,� says Joey, �I�ll give you the number. You
ready?�
�� <<Yes�
I have my pen right here, Joey.>>
�� Joey looks
at Seto questioningly.
�� 590-3786,�
says Seto.
�� 590-3786,�
says Joey into the phone.
�� <<Okay,
Joey, I�ll call you when she gets back so you can talk to her.>>
�� Well� I�m
making breakfast right now, Mom, so I have to go. I�ll talk to Serenity later
and see if her big brother can find out anything,� says Joey, �Bye, Mom.�
�� <<Bye,
Joey�>>
�� Joey
presses the button to turn the phone off and hangs it back on the charger. Then
he checks the waffle and takes it up. �Mom doesn�t know what�s wrong with
Serenity. She�s not talking to her either. She wants me to talk to her when she
gets home from her weekend at a friend�s place.�
�� Seto
watches Joey for a moment.
�� You can
start eating,� says Joey passing the plate with the two waffles on it to Seto.
He puts on some more batter to cook and adds, �What do we want to tell people�
about us?�
�� So that�s
why you didn�t tell your mom you were staying with your boyfriend?� asks Seto
with a relieved sigh.
�� Joey nods.
�We hadn�t discussed it yet, so I didn�t know how we wanted to handle it.�
�� We tell
the truth. You�re my boyfriend now,� says Seto.
�� So we tell
my dad, I�m moving in with the guy I started dating last night. He�ll be really
pleased!� exclaims Joey chuckling.
�� Well� so
maybe we won�t tell him the part about us just starting to date,� says Seto
setting his plate down. He lifts another strawberry and scoops some whipped
cream onto it. He holds it out for Joey. �Here��
�� Joey
smiles. �I think I like being your puppy!�
�� Seto
smiles. �Good. I like you being my puppy!�
�� Joey takes
the strawberry and eats it.
�� I�ll wait
until you�re ready to sit down and eat,� says Seto gently caressing Joey�s
cheek.
�� Okay,�
says Joey. He grabs a strawberry and dips it into the cream before holding it
up in front of Seto�s mouth. �Here, master, master, master!�
�� Seto
blushes at his new pet name as he takes the strawberry into his mouth and eats
it. �Have you thought about how you�re going to mark me as your property?�
�� I�ve been
trying, but nothing seems appropriate,� says Joey, �Do you have any ideas?�
�� Seto
smiles. �Maybe something will come to us while we�re shopping. I can�t wait to
see you in your new collar.�
�� The guys
are going to die when they see me in a collar with your name listed as owner!�
exclaims Joey chuckling.
�� Would they
be upset about us?�
�� Hey, I
don�t care! I know Yugi wouldn�t care either,� says Joey, �He�s a great friend.
He�ll be happy for me no matter who I�m with. It�s the others who might
disapprove of us, but I don�t really care! They�re not the ones dating you! I
am! As long as I�m happy, what does it matter what anyone else thinks? And I�m
happy with you, Seto! I�d ditch my friends for you� if they decided to make me
choose. I don�t think they would though.�
�� Would you
really?� Seto�s eyes widen as he looks at Joey. �You would really ditch them
for me?�
�� Joey pulls
Seto into a quick kiss before he takes the next waffle up and puts on some more
batter. �You bet I would! My friends are great! But so are you!�
�� Seto takes
a deep breath as he contemplates the true meaning of those words. �You love me
that much?�
�� Joey turns
towards Seto and catches the cerulean eyes with his own honey-brown. He smiles
happily. �Didn�t I tell you that I love you more than anyone else in the
world?�
�� Not quite
like that��
�� Well, I
do� I love you more than anyone else in the world could possibly love you.
There�s no one else that I could love more than I love you. There is someone
for every person, and you are my one. My one true love. My great love. My only
love.�
�� Seto moves
to Joey and rests his head on his lover�s shoulder. �I know how you feel. You
are my one, Joey Wheeler. I love you too� with all my heart and soul.�
�� Joey kisses
Seto�s forehead. �Hey, do you want to get us something to drink? Breakfast is
almost ready.�
�� Seto nods
but doesn�t move away from Joey.
�� Joey wraps
his arms around Seto and holds him close. �Are you okay?�
�� I�m okay.
I just don�t want to leave your arms,� whispers Seto.
�� We can
cuddle after breakfast,� says Joey, �I promise!�
�� Seto moves
away from Joey. He gets some orange juice and some milk from the refrigerator
and pours up two glasses of each to have with the waffles. Then he replaces the
cartons into the refrigerator.
�� Joey takes
up the last waffle and unplugs the waffle iron. He sets the two plates down on
the breakfast bar. He grabs the strawberries and whipped cream and brings it to
the breakfast bar. �Do you want strawberries and cream on your waffles?�
�� Seto
blushes as he thinks about the sweet food and something else he would rather
have it on. He nods.
�� Joey cuts
up a few strawberries and split them on the two plates. Then he places big
dollops of whipped cream on top. �Let�s eat!�
�� We can
finish the strawberries and cream on the couch after breakfast,� says Seto
moving them away as he sits down beside Joey, �and maybe we�ll watch Lady and
the Tramp.�
�� Joey smiles
and nods his head.
�� Joey and
Seto sit down together and eat their breakfast while they talk about various
subjects; mostly about how Joey�s friends are going to freak out when they see
him in the collar he�s going to get that day. After breakfast, they carry the
strawberries and cream, as well as two glasses of strawberry milk, into the
living room so that they can feed each other and make out on the couch.
