A few days later
It was Saturday and Joey and Kaiba were sleeping in. Suddenly an alarm clock went off and Joey groaned, putting the pillow over his head.
"Stupid alarm clock..." Joey groaned out. Kaiba yawned and leaned over Joey, hitting snooze on the alarm clock. Kaiba chuckled as he felt arms wrap around his waist.
"Awake?"
"Mm...nope. Wanna keep sleeping. Too tired." Joey yawned adorably and snuggled against Kaiba's chest as Kaiba laid back down on his back. Someone knocked on the door and Kaiba closed his eyes.
"Come in." He said tiredly as he slid his fingers up and down Joey's back. Mokuba poked his little black-haired head in and smiled.
"Hey, big brother." Kaiba yawned again.
"What is it, Mokuba?"
"Can I go over to a friend's house and spend the night?"
"Who's house?"
"Uh..um...Yugi'shouseandIpromiseI'llbegoodandwon'tgetinanytrouble!" Mokuba said quickly. Kaiba sighed and turned a bit, pulling Joey closer and burying his face in his hair a bit.
"Fine."
"Yes! Thank you, big brother!" Mokuba closed the door and left. Joey popped open an eye and yawned quietly, blinking open both eyes.
"Now I'm awake." Kaiba smiled and Joey looked up at him. "Can I ask you something?"
"Ask away, puppy." Kaiba kissed Joey's neck softly.
"How long..have we been together?" Kaiba stopped and looked at him.
"Hmm....a few months short of a year. Why?"
"Just wondering." Joey said softly.
"What's the matter, pup? You know I don't like seeing you sad." Kaiba stroked Joey's cheek. Joey looked up at him with tears in his eyes.
"You won't ever leave me, will you? Please don't leave me." Joey pleaded. Kaiba frowned and pulled Joey into a tight hug. Joey held onto Kaiba, crying. "I don't want to be alone. Not after I've been so happy." Kaiba ran his fingers through Joey's hair and rubbed his back.
"I won't leave you. Ever. I promise." Kaiba said quietly. Joey pulled away a bit and Kaiba kissed his forehead. "If I leave you, you can curse at me 'til your throat's dry, call me a jerk, slap me, and then run off." Joey smiled weakly and kissed him on the lips. Kaiba tangled his hands in Joey's soft blond locks and kissed him back.
A few weeks later
Joey panted heavily as he ran to the classroom. 'Why am I always late?!'
Kaiba drummed his fingers on his desk impatiently. He missed his little puppy. Joey had told him this morning he wanted to get something and for Kaiba to just go ahead to school without him. He suddenly grinned, remembering what he had bought Joey just a couple of days ago. Said puppy had just run in the door.
"You're late, Mr. Wheeler!"
"Close your mouth, Mrs. Shikoku." Kaiba snapped, glaring at the teacher. "He's not late." Joey grinned. He was going to have to make it up to Kaiba later. The teacher squeaked and quickly went back to teaching. Joey sighed and plopped into the seat next to Kaiba. "Where ya been, pup?"
"I do have a name, you know."
"Really? I didn't know." Kaiba replied sarcastically. Joey scowled and crossed his arms. "I got a present for you." Kaiba showed Joey the back and Joey was quickly excited.
"Ooh, ooh! What is it?" He whispered, fidgeting in his seat a bit and Kaiba smirked.
"You'll have to wait 'til later, mongrel." Joey pouted and Kaiba put a hand over his and Joey smiled, squeezing his hand gently.
"Okay, class. There will be a project." Mrs. Shikoku announced and most of the class groaned. Kaiba's left eye twitched angrily and Joey bit back the urge to giggle insanely. "And if you don't pass this project..." Mrs. Shikoku smiled suspiciously at Kaiba. "You'll fail this class."
"Ah! Damn, Kaiba! Loosen the grip a bit!" Kaiba's hand had practically crushed Joey's hand, but he soon calmed down. "Ow...Geez, you got a strong grip."
"I'd think you'd know that by now, dog." Joey visibly blushed about 30 shades of red.
"I'll pair you up myself." Kaiba narrowed his eyes dangerously. No one got his puppy but him. "Yugi and Tea. Tristan and Duke. Joey and...Alex." Kaiba growled. "And finally, Kaiba and Luke." Joey pouted angrily and leaned his head on Kaiba's shoulder.
"It's not fair."
"I know, pup. I know. I wanted you all to myself." Kaiba put an arm around his shoulders.
"You have me every damn day and night. Isn't that enough?" Kaiba shook his head and Joey made a face.
"Excuse me." Joey blinked up at the boy that supposed to work with Kaiba. "If you don't mind, I'd like to hurry up with the project. I'd rather not fail." Joey grumbled something under his breath and quickly kissed Kaiba on the cheek and got up, resisting the urge to hit the stupid boy. He plopped in the seat next to Alex who immediately stared at him.
"Got a staring problem, kid?"
"Nah. Ready to get started?" Alex grinned and Joey ignored it as he shot his eyes over to Kaiba, smiling inwardly, but keeping a scowl on the outside.
"Yeah, whatever." Good thing this project only lasted two days.
Two days later
Joey was officially creeped out! That guy, Alex, kept hitting on him and trying to touch him! Gah! He soon spotted Kaiba and ran over, almost glomping him to death.
"Ack! Joey! I have to breath!" Joey smiled sheepishly and let go. Kaiba gasped for air and coughed. "You tell me you don't want me to leave you, yet you try and choke me to death."
"Sorry. But that kid, Alex, is weird!" Joey shuddered and Kaiba put an arm around his puppy.
"Relax. I went through the same thing as you."
"Eh?"
"Luke hit on me, too."
"Gah! What?!" Joey got angry and Kaiba smiled, seeing that small red line that showed up on his nose whenever he got angry enough. "I can't believe you're actually calm about this! They're trying to split us up!"
"Get a hold of yourself, Joey! They can't and won't split us up!" Kaiba grabbed Joey's shoulders and Joey bit his lip. "Joey, look at me." Joey looked Kaiba in the eyes. "They can't take you away from me. And vice versa. Never. Okay?" Joey nodded and smiled, pecking Kaiba on the lips.
"So do I get my present from the other day?!" Kaiba chuckled.
"I didn't think you'd remember."
At the Kaiba mansion
"KAIBA!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Joey yelled angrily. Mokuba blinked and laughed as Joey came walking down the stairs while Kaiba walked behind him, holding a leash attached to a collar that was around Joey's neck. Joey crossed his arms and glared at Mokuba. "Laugh it up, kid." Kaiba smirked.
"Now everyone'll know you're my puppy."
"Joy."
"Don't make me put the muzzle back on." Joey whimpered and Kaiba tugged on the leash a bit. "Good dog."
"This is a new low for you, Kaiba."
"Hey. At least I can take you to work." Mokuba had to lean against the wall to stop from falling on the floor from laughing so hard.
At Kaiba Corp.
Joey scowled, sitting in a crouched position beside Kaiba's desk as Kaiba worked. With the collar still on. The leash still attached. Tied to Kaiba's desk to prevent him from getting anywhere.
"This is so...embarrassing." Joey grounded out. Kaiba leaned over and ruffled Joey's hair and Joey growled. "I can't believe you made me do this. All those people laughed and stared at me." Joey whined. Kaiba just smirked.
"At least you weren't naked."
"Gah!! Are you serious?!" Kaiba looked at Joey and he gulped, scooting away, but choked and fell back as the collar had kept him there. "Damn collar!" Joey tried to get it off, but Kaiba slapped his hands.
"Bad dog."
"Oh, you haven't seen "Bad Dog" yet. Wait 'til I get this damn thing off me." Joey snarled.
"I'd like to see you try."
A good hour later
Joey had his tongue poking out from his lips as he thought of a way to get the collar off. Kaiba was watching him and he had to resist the urge to just go and kiss the stupid mutt. Joey looked up at Kaiba, his tongue still poking slightly from his lips. Kaiba raised an eyebrow and Joey smirked.
"Like somethin' you see?"
"Maybe I do, Maybe I don't." Joey pouted at that.
A few weeks later
"Hey Kaiba!!!!"
"What?!" Kaiba said in an exasperated tone.
"Guess what?" Joey said, happily.
"What?" Kaiba raised his eyebrows and smirked. Joey pouted.
"You gotta guess."
"I don't like guessing. Just tell me."
"Oh, fine." Joey pulled something out from behind him and Kaiba's eyes widened. It was a BEWD plushie. He didn't normally like stuffed animals and plushies, but this one would be special.
"Joey...thank you." Joey beamed and Kaiba was glad he could make Joey happy. "I got something for you, too." Joey started jumping up and down.
"Ooh! What? What? What is it?" Kaiba chuckled.
"Sit, puppy. Calm down." Joey instantly sat down and Kaiba raised an eyebrow. Honestly, if Joey had a tail, it'd be wagging frantically right now. He smiled and handed the soft toy to Joey. Joey's eyes watered as he looked at the REBD plushie. He bit his lip and looked up at Kaiba. He saw Kaiba's eyes were glazed over and he was smiling sadly.
"Kaiba...what's wrong?" Joey stood up and went over, sitting in Kaiba's lap. Kaiba leaned his head on his shoulder and closed his eyes.
"I'm just really happy. For the first time in my life. I'm so happy, I could die." Kaiba whispered. (Is that OOC or what? blinks Lol ) Joey combed his fingers through Kaiba's hair and kissed the top of his head.
"I'm glad a dog like me could make ya happy." Kaiba laughed, actually laughed and smiled at Joey.
"Don't forget. You're my puppy and you only belong to me."
"Of course. How could I forget? You remind me every day of my life."
"Good.
Four months later
"Hey! Get offa me!" Joey hollered, trying to push Alex off of him.
"Why?"
"Because I don't like you! I'm in LOVE with SETO KAIBA! Not you!" Joey finally managed to push Alex away. But he pinned Joey back against the lockers and crushed his lips against Joey's. Unfortunately, Kaiba decided to walk down the hall just then. Kaiba froze, his eyes going wide. 'P-Puppy?!'
"Puppy?!?! What the hell is going on?!" Kaiba pushed Alex away and stood in front of Joey.
"Kaiba-koi! I swear! I didn't do anything!" Joey cried out, grabbing Kaiba's arms.
"Joey.." Kaiba didn't know whether or not to believe him.
"Please, Kaiba. I swore I would never to anything to hurt you." Joey wrapped his arms around Kaiba's waist and buried his face in his chest. Kaiba then realized just how much Joey loved him. Kaiba smiled warmly and wrapped his arms around Joey, surprising Joey a bit.
"I believe you, Joey."
"You do?" Joey looked up at Kaiba and he nodded. Joey smiled and hugged Kaiba. "Thanks, Kaiba-koi."
"Damn you, Kaiba!" Kaiba glared at Alex who seemed unfazed. "Joey'll be mine sooner or later." He then ran off. Kaiba smirked and hugged his puppy to him. His puppy. No one else's.
A year later
"Kaiba?" Joey asked as he sat in Kaiba's lap.
"Hn?" Kaiba wrapped his arms around Joey's waist and pulled him closer. "What is it?"
"Thank you."
"For what, pup?"
"For giving me the best two years of my life." Kaiba smiled.
"Anytime, puppy. Anytime." Joey grinned and kissed his koi on the lips and then ran off. Kaiba grinned and chased after him, pushing him into the pool. Joey screamed and came back up and spit water out. Joey had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he pulled Kaiba into the pool. Kaiba came up, coughing. "What'd you do that for?" Joey put that oh-so innocent puppy face on that Kaiba just couldn't resist and he caved in, smiling. Joey put his arms around Kaiba and Kaiba ran his hands through Joey's wet hair.
"I love you, Kaiba."
"I love you, too, Joey. I love you, too."
