Shopping, Sex and Fruitcake

Chapter 4

@-->-->----

Joey had been right about the Christmas shopping using up all their energy. By the time they got into the car for the drive home, Monday evening, Joey and Seto were both completely exhausted.

Their foray to several of the local candy shops and one of the minor shopping malls on Saturday hadn't even begun to prepare them for the crowds in the toys, games and electronic sections of the large department store that had been their target that afternoon. The crowds had been so bad, the boys had become separated eight times and they'd ended up searching for each other more than they'd searched for gifts for Mokuba.

Adding to their rapidly approaching Christmas Eve deadline problem, Joey had also learned it wasn't just Mokuba that Seto needed help to find gifts for.

"I still can't believe ya don't have any of your presents at all, yet. I was sure someone like you would have had it all sorted out back in August. Or at least a list of what ya were gettin' them, if not havin' it all ordered and stuff." Joey shook his head, still in shock that Kaiba could be so unprepared for such a major event. Especially one that came at the same time every year. He had no excuse not to have known that it was coming up!

"Someone like me? You mean organised?" Seto looked both tired and smug.

"Nah." Joey shifted over until he was cuddling into Kaiba's side. "I was thinkin' more along the lines of anal."

Seto sighed. "I walked right into that one." He rested his head against the back of the seat - too tired to even attempt to work up enough annoyance for a decent glare at the blonde teen.

Joey grinned and patted Kaiba's knee. "At least ya can still walk. My feet are so sore I don't think I'll ever walk again."

Seto nodded and somehow managed to gather enough energy to slip his arm around Wheeler's shoulders. "Oh, believe me, I am not much better. I had no idea it would be so busy. Monday must be the peak trading night." He sighed heavily.

Joey arched an eyebrow and eyed the brunette in bemusement. "Ya don't think the fact that it's so close to Christmas could have somethin' to do with it?"

"I am trying very hard to convince myself otherwise." Seto winced. "If it was so busy for that reason, that would mean the crowds will get worse, rather than better."

Joey winced as well. "Good point." He snuggled closer and rested his head on Kaiba's shoulder. "After all that... I lost track of how much we found for Mokuba." He lifted his head again so he could see Kaiba's face. "Any chance it was enough?" He tried not to sound too hopeful.

Seto closed his eyes and sighed even more heavily. "We wish." He opened his eyes again as he considered. "Perhaps enough for a stocking. A small stocking." He and Wheeler traded tired looks before the blonde groaned and dropped his head down onto Seto's shoulder again.

"We didn't even make it halfway around any of the departments we went to." Joey frowned. "If there weren't too many people to get in to see stuff, then there was other stuff stacked in the way."

"True. I must say I was rather appalled at how disorganised that store was." Seto tried not to get too distracted by the hand idly stroking his thigh. He wasn't entirely sure Wheeler was aware he was doing it and he didn't want to call his attention to it in case he stopped. "It looked as if half their stock was still in boxes in the aisles."

"Yeah. Maybe ya should write a letter of complaint to the manager. While you're at it... point out that it's a really bad idea to put stuffed toy sale bins right in front of where the toys everyone wants are. While I was tryin' to get a look at the remote controlled stuff, I got jabbed seventeen times with umbrellas by the little old ladies getting toys for their grandkids and great grandkids." Joey winced. "Not to mention all the elbows I got in the ribs. Those little old ladies are dangerous."

Seto arched an eyebrow. "Stuffed toys? Oh, was that what they were all after? I thought it might have been a yarn sale. I could have sworn I saw one of the women hold up a large ball of wool in triumph."

"Nah. That was one of those Woolies. Ya know, those little multicoloured plush sheep that are real popular right now with the under eights?" Joey closed his eyes and snuggled more firmly into Kaiba.

As he lightly stroked Wheeler's shoulder, Seto arched an eyebrow at the information. "I shall have to take your word for it, since I am not personally acquainted with anyone in that age bracket."

Joey chuckled. "Me neither. Yug's Gramps had me helpin' him with the stock orderin' yesterday. I tell ya, Kaiba, if ya ever want to know the latest hot toys and games... he's the guy to ask."

"I shall keep that in mind." Seto filed the information away for later consideration, then looked down at the blonde using him for a pillow. He smiled wryly. "Comfortable there, Wheeler?"

"Uh huh. Very. Although ya could use a bit more paddin' over your shoulders." Joey grinned.

"I shall be sure to pass your opinion on to my tailor." Seto smiled.

Joey sighed softly as he relaxed. "Seriously... don't be surprised if I'm asleep by the time we get back to your place. I'm worn out and we still have the rest of the week to get through."

"Perhaps we will find the presents for everyone before..." Seto trailed off as Wheeler lifted his head and arched an eyebrow at him. "No, good point, that would be stretching the boundaries of reality to impossible lengths."

"Yeah. It's definitely gonna take us until Saturday. Especially if we get as little done on the other trips as we did tonight. That was just insane." Joey groaned and dropped his head onto Kaiba's shoulder again. "I'm not sure I can handle five more nights of that."

Normally, Seto would have said something about Wheeler backing out of his promise to help him find Mokuba's presents - but it was the perfect opening for something else. "Do you suppose you could handle four more nights of that... and attending a Christmas play with me on the other night, instead?"

Joey lifted his head yet again and stared at Kaiba. "For real? A night off shoppin'? What's the catch? Oh never mind, it's a night off shoppin'. Count me in!"

Seto smiled wryly. "Good, but I feel it is only right to warn you that there is indeed a catch. It is the annual Christmas play put on by Mokuba's school."

"Cool. Mokuba gonna be in it?" Joey paused as he realised the full implications of what Kaiba was saying, and what he'd already agreed to. "Uh oh... When ya say a play... Are ya talkin' about a play sort of play with actors and stuff or one of those school recital type things where every class does somethin' and the place is packed full of proud parents and grandparents and all the kids sing off key?" He eyed Kaiba very warily.

For a second, Seto was surprised at how accurate Joey's description was. Then he remembered. "You have a younger sister."

Joey chuckled. "It's scarin' me how I'm not findin' that as a totally random comment."

"Well there are some things that are more or less universal when it comes to older siblings." Seto sighed. "School performances among them." He gently stroked Wheeler's shoulder. "To answer your question, however, in this case it is an actual play. Mokuba's school always puts on two shows at Christmas. One consisting of the whole school... for which Mokuba always has a signed letter stating that he will be unable to participate due to commitments at Kaiba Corp. and a play. I am reliably informed that this year's play even has a script." Seto looked at Wheeler and waited to see if he had the same reaction to that news as he had.

Joey arched an eyebrow. "So what did they have last year? The recipe off the back of a cereal box?"

Seto's lips twitched at the blonde's question. "I was too afraid to inquire. Feel free to ask him yourself."

"I think I'll survive somehow without knowin'." Joey winced and then grinned. "It sounds like fun though. So what night are we gettin' this reprieve from crazed grannies with umbrellas?"

Seto's lips twitched again at Wheeler's wording. "Saturday night."

Joey nodded. "So we'll have to finish your shoppin' by Friday."

"It should be possible." Seto thought about it for a minute. "If we prepare ourselves a little better than we have so far."

"What do ya have in mind?" Joey got comfortable again, his head on Kaiba's shoulder.

"So far our 'look around and see what Mokuba might like' approach has hit some stumbling blocks. It is also rather time consuming." Seto thought for a few minutes. "Perhaps we could streamline it by doing some research on what is out at the moment and highlighting possibilities." He smiled - his idea striking him as being particularly inspired. "That way, we would only need to look for those particular... Wheeler? Are you listening to me?" Seto arched an eyebrow at the blonde cuddled into him and sighed.

Joey Wheeler was sound asleep.

"Well I suppose it could have been worse. We could have been in the middle of something interesting." With a wry smile, Seto rested his head back against the seat and began to plan their next shopping trip with the same care and meticulous attention to detail as if it were a major corporate deal.

@-->-->----

Fortunately for Seto Kaiba and the shareholders in Kaiba Corp., he was far better at planning major corporate deals than he was at planning Christmas shopping trips.

The proof was in the Christmas pudding. Literally.

By the time Friday afternoon came around, Kaiba had a lot more pudding than presents for Mokuba, due to a successful deal he had brokered with an international pudding manufacturer.

It was the only thing that had gone the way he had planned all week. Both gift-wise and sex-wise.

Monday's shopping trip had resulted in little more than two tired and sore boys who had both been far too worn out to even think about being any naughtier than sharing the same bed that night. Falling asleep in each other's arms had been nice, but not exactly what either of them had expected.

Tuesday morning, Seto had learned that Mammoth Pudding Inc. were looking for a company to work with them on a lucrative marketing campaign involving a robotic dancing pudding. As it happened, Kaiba Corp.'s electronics division already had a design and working prototype for a small round robot that was rather good at wiggling, jiggling and did a pretty nice tango as well. It was a chance too good to miss - but pursuing it had required Seto to work all day and late into the night on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

Both nights, he'd returned to the mansion to find a certain blonde sound asleep in his bed. Both nights, Seto had been too tired to do anything more than crawl into bed with Wheeler and fall asleep snuggled against his back.

Knowing their time was quickly running out, Seto and Joey had spent Thursday lunchtime at school making plans for a serious onslaught of the major department stores that afternoon.

Unfortunately, seeing The Seto Kaiba being 'bothered' by He Who Isn't Worthy of Licking the Boots of The Seto Kaiba got Seto's fan club rather hot under the collar.

Joey was ambushed by a small horde of females - and quite a few males - just before he reached the safety of the front gate.

By the time Seto had learned which of the school's seventy-six broom closets held the bound and gagged blonde, they had already been two hours behind schedule and neither of them was in the mood for Christmas shopping. Instead, they had gone back to the mansion and spent the evening pretending that they didn't notice Mokuba's thinly disguised attempts at trying to find out what he was getting for Christmas.

That day had been a failure present-wise, but things had looked good for them being able to spend the night making wild whoopee and doing the rumpy pumpy and the widdle wiggle with an encore of hide the sausage - or salami, as Seto had taken to calling it.

They had played some games with Mokuba while casting 'I want you so bad' glances at each other and even managed a bit of discreet thigh rubbing as they'd watched a couple of movies with the younger boy. As soon as Mokuba had headed off to bed, Joey had pulled Seto against him and kissed him passionately. Seto had responded with every ounce of 'yes please take me now and show me the heights of pleasure' that he possessed. They had progressed to the bedroom and were lying in bed in the middle of one last kiss and hug before they began slowly stripping each other when the last thing either of them had expected had happened.

The estate's full Security detail had burst into the bedroom ordering them to 'Put 'em where we can see 'em!'

To say that Seto had not been pleased would have been an understatement - although he did later see the humour of it when Joey whispered to him that if they had put them where the Security men could have seen them, they probably would have had the better - and bigger - 'weapons'.

By the time Seto had sorted out what had happened - one of the men patrolling outside had seen his and Joey's shadows against the window as Joey had pushed Seto down onto the bed and had thoroughly mistaken the situation - the mood had been so completely broken that the two boys had just looked at each other, sighed and cuddled together until they fell asleep.

Friday morning - as Seto and Joey had been going to school together - Joey had sworn that nothing would stop them from doing the shopping that afternoon.

At lunchtime, a frantic Yugi pleaded with Joey for help with the shop that night, since Yami was out of commission with a fever and it was the store's busiest night of the year. Joey had stood firm - not even the Yugi Eyes (TM) or the Yugi Pout (TM) would make him change his mind. Sweat - yes - but not change his mind.

Fortunately, Téa had provided a solution before Yugi had upped the tear level on the Yugi Tearful Gaze (TM) - so Joey didn't have to test his willpower against his best buddy's ultimate attack.

Everything had been on track for their shopping trip... until the chauffeur had opened the car door for them and revealed Mokuba sitting in the back seat of the limo with the sweet smile of someone who wanted something and was willing to resort to blackmail to get it.

The blackmail being that Mokuba promised to tell their friends all about how the two boys had been spending every night that week sharing Seto's bed, unless Seto and Joey took him to the biggest department store in town to visit Santa.

So much for the Friday shopping trip... and any chance the two teens might have had to get together that night, as well. By the time they all got home, Mokuba was nearly asleep and Seto and Joey were both too exhausted to do anything more than shoo him off to bed and go to bed themselves.

As they lay cuddled up together, Joey sighed heavily and nuzzled his partner's neck. "I'm sorry, Kaiba. I wasn't any help at all to ya this week."

"Not true." Seto slowly stroked his hand over Wheeler's hip. "You were by my side on Monday when we faced the horrors of the Christmas Crowd. On Tuesday and Wednesday, it was the knowledge that you would be here, waiting for me in my bed, which made me work harder and faster than I ever have before. Because of you... I not only completed them ahead of the competition, but I also impressed the CEO of Mammoth Pudding Inc. with my 'diligence'. I believe that was among the reasons why he chose to make the deal with Kaiba Corp." Seto moved his head and softly kissed the spot where Wheeler's neck met his shoulder. "On Thursday... you scared me. When I could find no trace of you..." He paused to kiss the tender spot again. "I have not worried about anyone that way before, except for Mokuba. When I found you safe and sound... If the headmaster had not been there as well, I would have kissed you." He made up for that with a soft, lingering kiss that drew a moan from both of them.

"How about today?" Joey snuggled closer, his body lightly rubbing against Kaiba's.

"Today you proved to me that even when you have been standing in line for over an hour, while loud kids cry, yell, run, have accidents and scream around you and the same taped sounds that barely resemble anything even remotely musical play over and over in the background..."

Joey chuckled. "Yeah, the carols in Santa's Grotto were pretty bad."

"Quiet, Wheeler, I am right in the middle of complimenting you." Seto mock-glared at the blonde interruption.

"Sorry." Joey licked Kaiba's ear to make up for his rudeness.

"So you should be. Where was I?" Seto tilted his head to make it easier for Wheeler to reach his ear.

Joey obliged with a little earlobe suckling. "Today I'd proved to ya... then ya went on about the grotto visit."

Seto leaned into the suckling - a soft sound of pleasure rising from his throat. He stroked his hand down over his not-quite-lover's hip and then back up, slipping it beneath Wheeler's pajama top so he could stroke his soft, warm skin. "Ah yes. You proved to me that, no matter what is going on and how frustrating it is, you have the power to make me smile."

"I do? I did?" Joey arched into the touch. "How?"

An amused smile curved Seto's lips as he stroked Wheeler more firmly. "Your running commentary on what you thought every parent or older sibling waiting in line with us was wishing Santa would bring their child, or them, based on the child's behaviour. Or theirs."

Joey chuckled. "Yeah. That woman in the red dress was so obvious. Her little girl was all smiles. No way she was so 'nervous' that her mama had to sit beside Santa as well. I still think that woman probably has a thing for either beards or reindeer."

Seto nuzzled Wheeler's neck and chuckled softly as well. "Well right now... I have a 'thing', as you put it, for a certain blonde with a very naughty mind."

"Oh really?" Said blonde grinned and licked Kaiba's ear again before suckling it lightly. "I thought we'd agreed we were both too tired tonight?"

A heavy sigh came just before Joey found himself pushed onto his back - a very serious brunette leaning over him. "We did and we are. But that is not going to stop me from at least kissing you properly before we go to sleep."

Judging from his reaction, Wheeler was only too happy to help Kaiba with that plan.

When they finally came up for air a few minutes later, Joey snuggled contentedly into Kaiba's arms. "As much as I hate to remind ya... There are only two more days before Christmas."

"I know." Seto nuzzled into the other teen's neck. "But I may have come up with an idea about that."

"Oh?"

Seto eased back just enough to see his companion's face. "Do you have anything planned for Sunday morning?" He tried not to look overly anxious - or as if Mokuba's presents depended on the answer. He could always go and get them by himself... if he absolutely had to. It was just more fun when Wheeler was being tortured alongside of him.

"Sunday mornin'? Nah, I'm free all day. Don't forget Yug's party starts at five, though." Joey grinned.

Seto sighed. "How could I, when you have reminded me about it at least once a day since he invited us?" He frowned a little. "Is it still on? Yugi said Yami was ill."

"He is but it's just a chill with a bit of a fever. Yug said he got really cold Wednesday night, so by Sunday he'll have had three days to get over it. He's almost better now. Yug just didn't want him doin' too much at the store tonight. That's why he wanted me to help." Joey bit his lip and looked away.

"You had better not be feeling guilty over it. I heard Téa, so I know she, Tristan and Duke are helping Yugi tonight." Seto gently turned Wheeler's face back towards his, so he could softly kiss him.

Joey moaned into the kiss and managed a small nod. He eased back from the kiss and grinned at Kaiba. "Ya know... I really hate it when ya make sense like that."

Seto chuckled. "My apologies." He stroked his hand over Wheeler's hip and then reluctantly moved it to a relatively safe place on his back. "We should sleep. We have a full day again tomorrow."

"At least there's no shopping." Joey made a soft sound of pleasure as he snuggled into Kaiba.

It took Seto a second to be able to respond without moaning. "No. Instead we have another type of torment altogether."

"Ya think the play will be that bad huh?" Joey winced.

"Let me put it this way... I have seen Mokuba's costume." Seto sighed heavily. "It is going to be a very long night."

"Maybe. But I'm gonna hold on to the one thing I know for sure is good about it." Joey yawned, his tiredness already beginning to show the hold it had over him.

"Hmm? What is that?" Seto moved a little to get comfortable.

Joey smiled. "No matter what the play's like... there won't be any little old ladies with sharp umbrellas in it."
