A Reflection of Truth

@-->-->----
The moment Joey woke, he knew he was in for an interesting morning. While he had slept, his wrists had been bound together. He tested the give in the fabric bindings and frowned slightly when his wrists barely moved apart. The bonds weren't tight enough to hurt, but he couldn't get out of them.

He looked around. "Kaiba? You here?"

Although he was still naked, he was now alone in the large bed. When he'd closed his eyes, Kaiba had been lying next to him. No... Joey mentally corrected himself. Kaiba hadn't just been lying next to him. He'd collapsed next to him. Joey grinned as he remembered how Kaiba had pulled him into the curve of his body with the last of his strength before exhaustion had claimed them both. It had been quite a night.

"I'm here." The low voice came from somewhere behind him and Joey rolled over onto his back, feeling a little ridiculous when his tied hands stuck straight up in the air, along with another part of his anatomy.

"Is there a reason why I'm trussed up like a turkey?" Joey eyed the older boy curiously as he approached. "And why are you all wet?" Kaiba's hair was damp and droplets of water ran off him and onto the carpet as he strode across the room to the bed.

"I had a quick shower. After last night I was somewhat... sticky." The two boys traded smirks, both remembering how that had happened.

"So... this?" Joey waved his bound hands slightly, "'Cause I gotta tell you, Kaiba, I'm not really into... that sort of thing. 'Sides, I kinda need to pee," he added, heat rising into his cheeks. They heated further as Kaiba laughed.

"Don't worry, it's not what you think. I have something in mind but I need you... compliant." Kaiba leaned over and brushed the hair out of Joey's eyes, the light touch easing the unease that the words had caused. "But first..." He trailed off.

Joey shifted uncomfortably on the bed, his brown eyes wide and pleading. "Kaiba... it hurts," he admitted softly. "Can you untie me so I can...?" He gestured helplessly with his bound hands.

Kaiba smirked and Joey's unease returned at full strength. "After all the trouble I went to? I don't think so. I will help you up though."

"That's not the problem," Joey muttered. He glared at Kaiba as the older boy dared to laugh. "Fine! I'll do it myself then!" He started struggling to move to the edge of the bed so he could stand up.

Kaiba caught him just as Joey started to roll off the bed, then steadied him so he could get to his feet. Joey started to stalk to the bathroom, but paused when Kaiba touched his arm. "Huh? What?" Turning, his anger faded as he noticed the heat in the older boy's eyes.

"I said I wouldn't untie you. I never said you had to do it yourself." Joey was still trying to work out what that meant when Kaiba slipped an arm around his waist and started guiding him into the bathroom. As his brain finally clicked into gear, Joey froze.

"Oh no. You're not thinking of...?" One look at the gleaming sapphire eyes confirmed his guess. "No way Kaiba!" He tried to pull away, but the older boy held him close and refused to let go. Joey would have continued to struggle... if Kaiba hadn't started to laugh. "What? What's so funny?" Joey glared at him until the laughter stopped.

In one smooth motion, Kaiba hugged him closer while his other hand moved up and lightly cupped Joey's cheek. Their eyes locked. "Wheeler... You're in my bedroom. You woke in my bed. Naked. When I bound your hands, you didn't stir because you were exhausted from last night. Because last night I made you come until your cock was so sore that you whimpered when I pulled the sheet up over us. In the past four months, I've handled your cock, and done more to it, than I've ever done to my own. So how can you possibly be shy about something like this?"

Joey blinked. "Well... when you put it that way..."

He allowed himself to be led into the bathroom, but he balked again when Kaiba moved him into position. "Just relax." Kaiba moved behind him and Joey swallowed hard as he felt the older boy's hand slide around his waist and gently take hold of his not-quite-limp cock. There was a long moment of silence.

"Wheeler... this won't work unless you concentrate on what you're supposed to be doing rather than what my hand is doing."

"Oh... Right..."

@-->-->----

Joey could still feel the heat in his cheeks as Kaiba started the shower running. He tried to wipe the memories from his mind, but it was no use. In his mind, he could still feel Kaiba's hand on his shaft.

"Right, in you get." Kaiba's voice jolted Joey out of his daze. He blinked and nodded, but hesitated as he eyed the shower, then Kaiba, with sudden wariness.

"Uh... aren't you gonna untie me first?" Joey winced as Kaiba's reply came in the form of a smirk. "Stupid question." With a resigned sigh, Joey stepped into the shower with Kaiba close behind him.

Joey closed his eyes, fully expecting this to be what Kaiba had planned. The touch of soap-slick hands on his back still surprised him though. He and Kaiba didn't usually shower together, but there had been one time... Joey opened his eyes, the memory stirring emotions in him that he wasn't sure Kaiba would appreciate if he revealed them. He'd enjoyed that time, but apparently Kaiba hadn't since they'd never repeated it. The thought nagged at him.

"Hey Kaiba, how come we don't do this more often?" Kaiba was silent for a moment and Joey felt the slick hands running over his ass hesitate. Apparently his question had surprised the older boy.

"Turn around." It was Joey's turn to be surprised. When he turned, he found himself staring into wary sapphire eyes for a moment before Kaiba looked away. The older boy soaped up his hands again and started working on Joey's chest as the hot water washed the soap off Joey's back.

"Timing. We usually don't have long so we get straight into it. We make each other come, then you have a quick shower and go. When we do have more time, we're usually too busy to think about showering until you have to leave. Or we're too tired to do anything more than sleep." Kaiba didn't look up once as he spoke and Joey had the strongest feeling that it wasn't the whole truth. There was some other reason, but apparently it wasn't something that Kaiba wanted to admit to. Joey decided to push a little.

"Maybe we could make time once in a while. I kinda like this." He smirked to himself as Kaiba's hands paused for a moment before continuing to rub soapily over his abdomen. He'd surprised the older boy. Score one for him! But as Kaiba remained silent, Joey began to wonder if he'd said the wrong thing.

"Kaiba? You okay?" he asked quietly. Kaiba didn't reply, but his nod reassured Joey a little. Then his soapy hands started running over Joey's cock and all coherent thought vanished from Joey's mind.

A moment later, he groaned when Kaiba suddenly removed his hands. "What? Kaiba, you're killing me here!" He glared at the older boy and resisted when Kaiba tried to turn him around. "No way! It was just getting interesting!"

Kaiba finally met Joey's eyes. The heat he saw there startled the younger boy. "I know. That's why I stopped. I don't want you to come. Not yet." Joey hesitated for a moment, searching Kaiba's eyes as he debated with himself. Finally, he nodded and silently turned around. He'd give Kaiba a chance.

@-->-->----

When the soap was all rinsed away, Kaiba turned off the water and pulled back the shower curtain. Joey stepped out and turned towards the towels but the older boy shook his head. "Not yet. What I have planned works better if we're wet."

Joey blinked. "Kaiba... it's cold." He shivered as their eyes met, but it wasn't from the cool air. There was something in Kaiba's eyes that he couldn't quite make out, but it was starting to make him very nervous. "What's going on?"

"We'll warm up soon enough. Come over here." Kaiba was standing in front of the vanity, which ran along one wall of the ensuite bathroom. Joey raised an eyebrow but didn't complain or hesitate before joining him. Kaiba looked consideringly at him, then at the benchtop and a shiver of unease ran down Joey's spine.

"Kaiba... what are you thinking?"

The older boy turned to Joey, his movements oddly hesitant. "Do you trust me?" His sapphire gaze was intent, but Joey noticed the uncertainly in Kaiba's voice. He thought for a moment, then decided to tell the truth.

"In general, yeah. Even though you're a self-centred ass sometimes, at least you're honest about it. You've never pretended to be someone you're not. If you're talking about the sex stuff though... not as far as I could throw you. I never know where I stand with you in that. One minute we'll seem like equals and then you'll take control and expect me to follow your lead. Like now."

He fixed Kaiba with a serious look, noting the sudden discomfort in the older boy's eyes. "I don't like not knowing what's going on. I also don't like being tied up with you giving orders. It doesn't feel right. I put up with the other stuff, but now... You're starting to scare me, Kaiba," he admitted softly.

Kaiba sighed and looked away, apparently finding the floor suddenly fascinating. "Yeah. That's what I thought." He hesitated and then sighed again. "I know I'm doing this all wrong. But... I can't... It's the only way I could think of..." He trailed off, apparently lost for the right words.

Joey studied Kaiba for a moment, then sighed. It was no use. He couldn't stand seeing the other boy so uncomfortable. "Will you untie me as soon as we're done?"

Kaiba's eyes snapped to Joey's, wide with shock. "You mean...?" Their gazes locked and an unspoken message passed between them. Kaiba relaxed and nodded. "Deal."

"I'd better like this." Joey rolled his eyes as Kaiba chuckled. Apparently his agreement had restored the older boy's normal confidence. "I mean it Kaiba! If I don't, you're in big trouble! So, what do I have to do?"

"It's a little complicated. First of all, you need to get up on the bench. In front of the basin." Joey frowned and looked down at his hands. "Before you say it, no, I'm not going to untie you. But I will help you up."

Joey glared at him. "Gee. Thanks." He turned around and sat down on the edge of the bench, on the narrow strip running along the front of the basin. He immediately jumped off again. "Yeow! That's cold!" Catching Kaiba's eye, he sighed. "Okay, okay, I'll give it another go. But you're gonna owe me!"

When Joey was finally sitting up on the bench, shivering slightly from the cold seeping from the marble bench into his bare cheeks, Kaiba moved closer. "Now lift your right leg onto the bench and turn a little." He helped Joey into position, then kept moving him until the younger boy was finally turned completely around.

Joey shifted unhappily on the cold marble. By now, his uneasiness had upgraded itself to a state of extreme edginess. He had a feeling he knew where this was leading. He hoped he was wrong. "You know Kaiba, I've seen myself naked in the mirror thousands of times. It's no big deal. Okay, I admit I'm not usually this close and I don't normally have my legs on either side of a basin, or my cock dangling over the edge of it for that matter, but it's not arousing. Just really uncomfortable." He tried to peer at Kaiba over his shoulder but couldn't turn around enough. "Just so you know, I'm too cold to get it up, let alone come. So, how about we chalk this up as being a really bad idea and I get down now?"

"Nice try Wheeler, but I have something else in mind." The smirk in his voice was all too clear.

"That's what I'm afraid of," Joey muttered. He felt Kaiba move closer, the older boy's body providing a welcome warmth at Joey's back that caused him to immediately lean into it and sigh. "Well, this ain't so bad..."

"It will get better." Kaiba's voice was a low purr in Joey's ear that made the younger boy both tense and grin in anticipation. "Just relax and leave everything to me."

"There's not much else I can do, my hands being tied and... Oh!" Joey gasped as Kaiba wrapped his arms firmly around Joey's waist and tugged him back a bit. "Hey! Watch it! You're gonna pull me off!" He instinctively tried to struggle, but his bound hands made it impossible for him to do anything more than a slight wriggle.

Joey blinked as Kaiba stopped pulling him. He was suddenly extremely aware of his position. Kaiba was leaning against his back, his arms still wrapped around his waist. Joey's legs were spread open on either side of the basin. But now his bare ass was hanging slightly over the edge of the bench. It was a delicate balancing act. The only thing stopping Joey from falling was Kaiba's position behind him. Suddenly, everything snapped into place.

"This is why you tied me up, isn't it? So I wouldn't struggle and fall?" Joey's voice was quiet but Kaiba's reply was even more so.

"Yes."

Some of Joey's unease slipped from him at the soft confirmation. The bonds were just to keep him safe. They weren't about control or power, like he'd thought. He smiled slightly and allowed himself to relax a little. He was still worried about the position he was in, and what Kaiba had planned for him, but his major source of concern was now explained.

Kaiba slid one hand away from Joey's body entirely, but the boy barely noticed. He was more interested in the path that the other hand was taking. Much to his disappointment, it only brushed his cock on its journey from his waist over his left thigh and underneath his leg. Joey had to admit that there was something very arousing about feeling the touch and following the movement in the large mirror on the wall in front of him at the same time. His eyes never left the mirror as Kaiba's hand slipped under his leg and then up again, until Kaiba was holding him. When the hand pulled slightly though, Joey came out of his daze and frowned slightly.

"What? I can't... Oh, all right. I'll try." He reluctantly obeyed and spread his legs wider, wincing slightly in discomfort. "Kaiba, I swear, if this isn't really good, you are going to be very sorry."

Kaiba hummed softly in response, his breath blowing lightly against Joey's left ear. Much to the younger boy's surprise, he suddenly felt Kaiba's tongue lightly trace his earlobe. The feeling caused a very pleasant tingling sensation to run down Joey's spine. He was still catching his breath from that when Kaiba pulled the earlobe into his mouth and began sucking on it.

Joey gasped and jerked so hard he almost lost his balance. "Kaiba!" His breath hissed out between his clenched teeth. The only reply he got was a low chuckle and a gentle bite that made Joey close his eyes and moan softly in pleasure.

When nothing more happened after a few moments, a thought intruded into Joey's pleasure-filled mind. Surely Kaiba hadn't gone through all this just so he could do something that he could have done just as easily anywhere else. He had to have something more in mind. So why wasn't he doing it? "Kaiba... what are you up to?"

Joey really didn't want to interrupt him. Especially when Kaiba's mouth was so thoroughly occupied. But he was starting to feel uneasy again. Not to mention cold and uncomfortable. The jolt of all-encompassing pleasure he'd received from the initial onslaught on his ear was beginning to fade and Joey was noticing his surroundings again.

Kaiba gave Joey's earlobe one last suck and then trailed his tongue over it for a moment before answering. "I'm almost ready. Just a few more seconds."

For some reason, Joey didn't find that answer to be at all reassuring.

Moving his attention to the rest of Joey's ear, Kaiba began licking along the top of it. The change made Joey lose himself in the pleasure again. Until he felt something... wrong.

Joey's eyes snapped open as he felt it again. Something hard was pressing into his ass. He smirked as he realised what it must be. Kaiba was apparently getting excited. He'd better be careful though or else... Joey's smirk faded into wide-eyed shock as he suddenly felt it again. This time though, it was not only stronger, but he could feel Kaiba's hand guiding it! Joey began to shake. "K... Kaiba?"

"Just relax." Kaiba started to lick and suck on Joey's ear more intently. As he did so, the pressure against Joey's ass also began to increase.

Joey bit his lip nervously. He wasn't sure if he liked the feeling, but at the same time he wasn't unwilling to let Kaiba have his way. The truth was, he'd been wondering if the older boy would ever be willing to go this far with him. Now... he had his answer. Trust Kaiba to pick the most dramatic way of doing it that he could think of, though!

His eyes locked on the mirror and the image reflected there. The two boys in the mirror looked like lovers having some fun with each other. Joey was struck by how much truth there was in that, although he was sure that Kaiba would never admit to even thinking about that particular word in relation to the two of them. Lovers. It seemed right, but at the same time it didn't seem enough to describe the intensity of their relationship. Intense... yeah... that word was definitely right. Especially just then!

Closing his eyes, Joey tried to relax, but not even Kaiba's pleasuring of his ear could block out what was happening. Or rather, what wasn't happening. Kaiba seemed to be having a bit of trouble getting his cock to go where he wanted it. With every push, Joey had to force himself not to groan. He definitely didn't like the feeling. When Kaiba paused for a moment, Joey sighed with relief. A second later, he tensed and gasped as Kaiba's cock was suddenly rammed forcefully into his ass!

"Ow!" Joey couldn't keep from crying out at the pain as the invading shaft spread his virgin ass too wide, too fast. "Kaiba! That hurt," he finished with a low moan.

"Just... a little... more..." Kaiba panted in his ear.

"No! No more!" But Joey knew that Kaiba hadn't heard him. He could hear the older boy panting hard, although his mouth was still sucking at his ear. But the sucking was no longer sensual. It was more automatic, as though Kaiba's mind was no longer paying attention to it and his body was just keeping on going. Kaiba's hand on his leg was now grasping him harder too, trying to spread Joey's legs even wider than they already were. Joey winced at the pain. He'd have a bruise on his thigh from this.

Kaiba suddenly pushed into him again. Hard. Pain tore through Joey as he was filled completely. His scream echoed through the room.

The cry was still ringing in Joey's ears, as he became aware that the boy behind him had gone completely still. Joey turned his head slightly. He could feel Kaiba's cock inside him. Filling him. Stretching him. Hurting him. "Kaiba..." His voice was little more than a whisper.

"I..." Kaiba's voice was so faint, Joey could hardly hear it. "I'm sorry..."

Kaiba moved and Joey cried out again as the older boy tugged his cock out of its tight sheath. Then Kaiba's arms wrapped around Joey's waist and his husky voice whispered in Joey's ear. "I'm going to help you down."

@-->-->----

Joey shivered and groaned softly as the movement caused a twinge of pain in his lower body. He groaned again as a warm wet cloth tentatively rubbed his ass. Although the warmth was soothing, the touch still hurt. At his groan though, the movement ceased. Puzzled, Joey turned his head slightly so he could see what was going on.

Kaiba was sitting on the side of the bed, the cloth in his hands and his head hanging down. He was naked, damp and shaking. Joey frowned slightly. He'd been in too much pain to really notice anything earlier, but now it occurred to him that something was dreadfully wrong. "Kaiba? You okay?" Slowly, the older boy turned his head. His sapphire eyes were so miserable that Joey immediately started to reach out for him. But Kaiba jumped up and backed away, shaking his head.

"No! How can you still...? I... I hurt you! How can you... care about me after that? I don't deserve... I should be... I tied you up! I hurt you! I made you... scream..." Kaiba's voice broke and he turned and started for the door. He was gone before Joey could do more than blink, so he didn't hear the younger boy's surprised response.

"Well... yeah... but it's not like you haven't done all that before..."

Joey ached. He was also cold. At least Kaiba had dried him off, so he was no longer wet. He had untied him too. It was really good to have his hands free again. He would have liked to have stayed put, but... Joey braced himself and took a deep breath before hauling himself off the bed. The mood that Kaiba was in, there was no telling what he was planning on doing. Joey had a bad feeling about it though. His instincts were screaming at him to go after the older boy. He always listened to his instincts. So, even though his ass felt like it was on fire and every movement made him grit his teeth against the pain, Joey went after Kaiba.

He was still making his way slowly down the upstairs corridor when he heard an agonised cry come from somewhere downstairs. Recognising Kaiba's voice, Joey hurried as fast as he could. Suddenly, his pain didn't seem as much of an obstacle. Not when it was compared to the awful fear that was filling Joey's heart.

By the time he reached the bottom of the stairs, Joey's fear had become panic. Kaiba's cry had stopped and there was no sign of him. "Kaiba! Kaiba, where are you?"

His eyes scanned the room anxiously, stopping almost immediately at the first door he saw. It was open. Joey knew it was the kitchen door. He was also sure that it had been closed the last time he'd seen it. He distinctly remembered Kaiba bumping it closed with a quick motion of his hip, since he was balancing a tray of cheese and crackers in one hand and strawberries and cream in the other at the time. Thanks to that hip motion, they hadn't gotten around to having their snack for another hour.

"Kitchen it is then."

Joey charged through the doorway into the kitchen. He glanced around, frowning when he didn't see Kaiba. "Hey Kaiba! You in here?" He was about to leave again when he heard a faint whimper. "Kaiba? That you?" Joey moved forward, until he could see around the large workbench sitting in the middle of the room. With a gasp, he hurried to the figure lying on the floor on the other side.

"Kaiba!" Joey dropped to his knees on the tiles, shivering as their coldness struck him. He ignored the discomfort though, his focus on the huddled form in front of him. "Oh... Kaiba..." Joey took one look at the wooden spoon sticking out of the older boy's ass and knew what had happened. "Why? Why did you do that to yourself?" He gently brushed the hair out of Kaiba's eyes, silently willing him to answer.

"Because..." Kaiba's voice was barely a whisper. He winced as he looked up at Joey with pain-dulled eyes. "Because I deserved it and... you wouldn't have done it."

Joey's eyes softened and he grasped the older boy, gently pulling him into his arms. "You know Kaiba, for a genius, you sure can be an idiot sometimes." He smiled sadly down into Kaiba's surprised face. "You're right. I wouldn't have done anything like this to you. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't have done something else. You didn't need to take revenge on yourself." Joey lightly hugged Kaiba for a moment. "Come on, let's get this out of you and then get back upstairs. Before we both freeze our sore asses off!"

@-->-->----

Half an hour later, Joey sighed in contentment as he snuggled into the warm cocoon that Kaiba's bed was slowly, but surely, becoming. He was still a bit sore, but it wasn't as bad as it had been, and now he was well on his way to becoming warm again. Things were looking up! Well... almost... Joey glanced over at the figure on the other side of the bed and sighed again, this time sadly.

Easing himself up on his elbow, Joey studied Kaiba for a long moment. The older boy's face was unusually pale and he was shivering badly despite being under the sheet and blanket. He was lying on his stomach, which wasn't surprising. But it was where he was lying that had Joey worried. Kaiba was so close to the far side of the bed that he was almost falling out! He'd made it clear that he was blaming himself for what had happened to Joey, but he was also trying to distance himself from the younger boy. That was something that Joey refused to allow Kaiba to do! He just had to work out how to handle the situation.

Never one for thinking situations through all that much, Joey decided to just go with his instincts. Shifting slightly towards the middle of the bed, he propped himself up on his elbow again. "Hey, Kaiba, I know you're not asleep. What I don't get is why you're all the way over there?"

When that met with no response, Joey went for plan B. "If you don't get over here in the next five seconds, I'm gonna call Yami and tell him that you've hurt yourself with a spoon."

Kaiba tensed. "You wouldn't..." he whispered in shock.

Joey rested his hand lightly on Kaiba's bare shoulder, wincing when he felt the older boy flinch at the touch. "Nah, of course not, but at least it got you to speak to me." He gave the shoulder a slight squeeze. "Look Kaiba, either you come here to me, or I'll move over there with you. Your choice."

Kaiba slowly turned his head, his disbelieving eyes locking with Joey's determined gaze. "After everything... you really feel up to...?"

Joey blinked. "What? Are you crazy? I'm way too cold to even think about that right now!" He frowned slightly as a thought occurred to him. "Although, I guess it would warm us up..." Joey shook his head, reluctantly chasing the images away. "Nah, we'd better not. We'd just get the sheets wet. Then we'd have to go to all the trouble of changing them 'cause it's too cold to sleep in wet sheets. I never thought I'd say this, but for once I think we'd better forget about sex and just sleep together." He blinked, then frowned as he thought that through. "I mean... Ah, never mind, just get over here!"

When Kaiba just stared at him and still didn't move, Joey sighed. It was obviously time for plan C. "Kaiba... I know you see this thing with you and me as being all about sex, and I'm fine with that. But I'm fine with it being about other stuff sometimes too. Like right now, we're both cold and tired and sore. Sex is... well, okay, maybe not the last thing on our minds, but it's not right up in the number one spot. What with everything that's happened, I just thought maybe you'd want to know that I'm still... willing."

Kaiba blinked and looked shocked for a moment. Then he started to splutter with laughter. "Willing? Willing! Wheeler... you sound like an eighteenth century virgin!"

Joey felt like he'd been punched in the stomach. Trying to hide his pain, he rolled over onto his other side, facing away from Kaiba. "Never mind."

Almost immediately, he felt a hand grasp his shoulder. He was tempted to ignore it, since Kaiba was still snickering, but he knew how rare it was for the older boy to laugh. Joey didn't resist as he was tugged over onto his back. He didn't feel like making it too easy for Kaiba though, so he glared at him. "What?"

With obvious effort, Kaiba managed to stop laughing. His sapphire eyes were still gleaming though as he locked gazes with Joey. "I'm not laughing at you. Or what you said. It was just... how you said it." He smirked and shook his head. "Only you would think of saying something like that." Suddenly, his eyes were gleaming with heat rather than amusement.

Joey smiled slowly, his pain fading as he noticed the change in Kaiba's attitude towards him and realised exactly what the older boy had said. "So... if you're not laughing at what I said... Does that mean you're gonna come over here now?"

Kaiba studied him for a long time, then slowly nodded. "If you're sure that you're... willing." He snickered, but this time Joey joined in.

"Oh man... you're right, it does sound off."

Kaiba was hesitant at first, but he moved willingly enough when Joey pulled him near. Joey ended up lying on his back with Kaiba lying face down and partly on top of him, his head resting on the younger boy's shoulder and one arm across Joey's waist. Their legs tangled and Joey slipped one arm around Kaiba's slender body. Joey's other hand ran lightly up and down the arm flung across him. He sighed contentedly and closed his eyes.

"I never meant to hurt you. I hope you know that."

Kaiba's low voice made Joey open his eyes again. He turned his head and grinned sleepily down at the boy lying in his loose embrace. "Yeah. I know." He blinked as he remembered something he'd wanted to know earlier. "Why did you do that anyway? I mean, it didn't seem quite... your style."

There was silence for a moment, then Kaiba's response came. It was so soft, Joey had to strain to hear it. "After last night, I wanted to do something... different. I..." Joey felt Kaiba take a deep breath, the older boy's body tensing up. This was obviously not something he really wanted to admit to. "That last party of Yugi's... the one where Tristan spiked the punch and Ryou ended up drunk and singing on top of the table..."

Joey smirked at the memory. Bakura had been surprised but enjoying the show... until his light had started to strip, then he hadn't been able to get him home fast enough! "What about it?"

"Did you notice how Marik and Malik vanished at one point?"

"Yeah. Isis was looking for them. She was more than a little tipsy." Joey enjoyed that memory too. It wasn't every day that Isis tried to hit on him.

"While you were... keeping her company..." Joey blinked and looked down at Kaiba, suddenly thoughtful. Had that been a note of jealousy in the other boy's voice just then? He shook off the thought as nothing more than wishful thinking as Kaiba continued in his usual even tone. "I went looking for the two psychos. I found them. In the bathroom."

Joey blinked. "Wait a sec. You don't mean they were... What you and I... Whoa!" He tried to get his mind around the thought and couldn't quite manage it. "Exactly what we were doing?"

"Yes. At least... I think so." Kaiba suddenly sounded rather uncomfortable. "That's what I don't understand. When they were doing it, they looked like they were..." he hesitated then admitted, "enjoying themselves. Immensely."

Suddenly, everything was clear in Joey's mind. "It was supposed to be a treat for us, wasn't it? Something to make our first time really special." He felt Kaiba's silent nod against his chest and a warm feeling filled his heart.

"But something went wrong. I don't understand it! I was sure it would work! We were wet and naked and that was more than they were! We were even facing the right way!" He shifted restlessly but Joey was suddenly more interested on the words than the movement of the body beside him.

"Hang on. Back up. What do you mean 'facing the right way'? Was the position the same as theirs or not?" Kaiba's uncomfortable silence answered the question. Joey groaned. He had a sudden feeling that he knew what had happened.

"Was Malik sitting up on the bathroom bench facing Marik, with Marik's cock in him?" Joey asked.

"Yes." Kaiba eased himself up just enough to see Joey's face. "Why?"

Joey entwined his fingers with Kaiba's. "As soon as you feel up to it, I'll show you," he promised with a slight smile. "So we'd better get some sleep. We're gonna need our strength." His eyes glittered as he hugged Kaiba closer, the older boy snuggling into him with only a little surprised hesitation.

For a few minutes they were still and silent, but there was a question running through Joey's mind that he couldn't ignore for any longer. He had to know...

"Hey Kaiba... how do you know how an eighteenth century virgin would talk, anyway?"

Kaiba snickered. "One of Mokuba's baby-sitters was highly fond of historical romances. She also had the extremely irritating habit of quoting from them. At every available opportunity. She was quite a good sitter, Mokuba liked her, but in the end I couldn't take being referred to as 'the cold-eyed duke'."

Both boys were still smiling as they slipped off to sleep in each other's arms.
