Lesson

Joey ran his hand through his hair and whined in the back of his throat, brows furrowing together in frustration as he scribbled an answer across the thick parchment. He stared at his sloppy handwriting, grimaced, then bit his bottom lip as he checked and double-checked his answer carefully. Once he decided that he could do no more with it, he hesitantly slid the paper across the table.

A ruler immediately slapped over the back of his hand, making him yelp and draw it back to his chest quickly. "Ouch!"

"You do not slide paper," the tutor hissed, glaring at him in distaste. "Imagine what His Highness would say!"

Joey flinched, ears wilting as he imagined Seto looking at him with the same contempt and disgust. "You're right, sir."

"Of course I'm right! I know everything about His Highness!" the man snapped, reading through what the blond had written quickly. His ears pressed back irritably as he turned his gaze back on the dog demon. "This is absolutely abominable. How anyone would be able to read this, I don't know!

The blond snorted and grumbled, "You read it just fine." The ruler slapped over the backs of his hands again. "Ouch!"

"The king's bitch should never speak unless someone is expecting an answer and he or she should never speak with a snide or acerbic tone!"

Joey scowled. "I don't know why anyone thinks that these lessons will do me any good!"

"They don't," the tutor sniffed. "But we needed to do something to make people think we were actually trying to make you seem less like an uncouth street rat!"

"OOOO-KAY THEN!" the blond growled, standing swiftly. "I don't hafta take this shit from you!"

"Have to." The man pursed his lips. "If you don't learn to control that temper, you'll never be suitable enough to show off to visiting dignitaries. You're an embarrassment, really. The only reason His Highness mated with you is probably because you're a good fuck and nothing more. After all, he's too busy and level-headed to invest any emotions in a tramp like you."

Joey swallowed thickly, then snarled, turning to storm away from him. "Like you know anything!"

The tutor sneered after him. "His Highness made a mistake in mating with you!" He couldn't help a low chuckle when he saw the blond's black tail curl up between his legs.

.-.-.-.-.-.

Seto frowned as he smelled salty tears as soon as he stepped into the room and moved toward the bed, reaching out to gently rest his hand on the lump of trembling blankets that was his mate. "Lessons didn't go well today, either?"

"I don't wanna talk about it!" Joey hissed. "Just leave me alone!"

The brunet rolled his eyes and sighed quietly as he crawled onto the bed, then curled up against the dog's back, slowly and carefully curling his hand beneath the blankets. "Are you sure I can't help you relax?"

"Hhn…" The blond squirmed a little as the older boy's hand slid into his blanket cocoon and began petting his side and hip. "Nothin' in the world could get me in the mood right now, so—"

Seto pulled the blanket from his body and began kissing his neck and shoulder. "Nothing at all?"

"Ah…" Joey sniffled and brought a hand up to wipe his eyes. "Oh, this is hopeless, Seto. Why did I ever think this would work?"

"Hmm?" Sensing that this was a much bigger deal than he'd originally thought, the brunet sat up a little, frowning. "What are you talking about, Joey?"

"This. Thinkin' that I could be your mate. I'm never gonna be good enough for ya, so why do I even try?"

Seto scowled and leaned over him to be able to see his face. "And just what makes you think you're not good enough for me?"

"It's obvious every time I try t' do somethin' without ya around!" Joey huffed, tears forming in his eyes. "I don't walk tall enough, chickens could write better than I could, I have a temper, my hair's too long and too thick, I can't keep my clothes clean, sometimes I chew with my mouth open, I talk with food in my mouth, and I don't know which soaps to use in your humongous bathroom!"

Seto stared, mouth falling open in both shock and confusion. "…What?"

"I can't keep my back straight and my tutors keep smacking my ass and thighs t' keep me from slouchin' when I walk," the blond explained, ears wilting sadly. "I didn't know how t' read when I came here, and I'm learnin', but my writin' looks like crap. It doesn't even deserve bein' called chicken scratch. And I get mad way too easily. My tutors are always tellin' me t' bite my tongue or keep my mouth shut 'cause no one wants t' hear me or what I have t' say."

"…Go on," the wolf demon ordered after a moment, crossing his arms.

Joey swallowed the lump forming in his throat. "The servants ya have help me get ready in the morning tell me that my hair is ugly especially for someone with black ears and tail, that it's too thick t' deal with. 'nd I'm bad at keepin' my clothes clean because I've never had to wear fancy clothes, so I forget I need t' watch out for 'em. I'm so used to eatin' what I can, when I can, that I don't even think about swallowin' before I talk." He looked up at the brunet and whimpered. "And when I get out of the bathroom the servants tell me I've used all the wrong soaps."

"…I'll speak with your tutors," Seto stated after a moment, scowling. "I may not like you slouching, but part of me is always happy, because it means you're not a threat to me or my brother. No one should be spanking you but me." He reached out to cup the blond's cheek and leaned in to gently nip his bottom lip. "Your writing will get better with practice, so just be patient."

Joey laid his head on the brunet's shoulder and sighed quietly. "…Seto…"

"I like your temper. It keeps things interesting, and the make-up sex is excellent. And the foreign diplomats are so used to docile mates that they're amused and surprised by you. They like you." The brunet nuzzled the younger boy's cheek. "Your hair isn't weird. And even if it is, it's no weirder than Mokuba's, black hair with white ears and tail." He smiled slightly when the blond giggled. "I don't care about whether your clothes get dirty. The servants' job is to clean them, so they shouldn't say anything about them. And it's amusing to me to see the expressions of shock from other people when you talk with your mouth full."

He pressed his forehead against the blond's and purred. "And I don't care what soap you use in the bathroom, because as long as you smell like me, I'm happy."

Joey's eyes fluttered shut as he was pulled into a soft kiss. "Seto…"

Seto nipped his bottom lip again, then leaned over to kiss his neck. "I'll… see about… your tutors… okay?"

"Mn…" Joey tilted his head back and moaned quietly as the brunet closed his teeth on his throat. "Ooh… Seto…"

"I'll fix everything," Seto assured, kissing down his chest. He reached up to cup the blond's cheek again and kissed him lightly. "We'll get this straightened out. You shouldn't feel this badly after lessons."

"… He called me your bitch, not your mate," the blond muttered after a moment, pulling away from him and looking down at his lap in embarrassment. "'nd he said I'm an embarrassment. He said I wasn't worth your emotional investment, whatever that is."

The wolf stiffened, eyes shining angry blue-black. "Did he?"

"Yeah." He bit his bottom lip and ducked his head. "And I couldn't help but start thinkin' maybe he was right."

"No, he was not," Seto snapped, growling. "You are my mate, not my bitch, and nothing you could do could embarrass me. And I have certainly invested emotionally in you." When the blond blushed and giggled nervously, he licked his throat gently. "You're mine. If he says anything like that to you again, hit him."

Joey giggled again. "He'd flip his shit if I did."

"Good. Flip it all over the place. I will never be embarrassed because of something you did," the brunet purred.

The blond tilted his head. "Nothing at all?"

"Nothing at all," the wolf confirmed. "Never."

Joey smiled and nuzzled against his chest. "I like that. You're sexy when you're confident."

Seto's tail began to wag, and he blushed lightly when the younger boy peered up at him with more affection than even his brother had given him. That did embarrass him a little, but only because he was so unused to people liking him for himself instead of as a king.

He wouldn't tell Joey that, though, because he really hated the thought that this embarrassed him rather than anything else.
