OW: Doesn't really matter; just have fun ;)

DH: Anyway, thanks so much to Daughter-OfPoseidon for helping us with this story.

OW: We really couldn't have done it without you!

Joey Wheeler trudged into school, his bag hanging loosely on his shoulder. His head was hanging so that his honey-coloured bangs hid his muddy brown eyes from view.

Valentine's Day.

His lip curled. He hated it. Not only was it a day that his father came home even later and even drunker, but it was the day that his mother took Serenity away from him.

His stomach churned at the sight of the balloons, posters and streamers around the school.

My insides all turned to ash. So slow.

Please just let me have a good day today, he pleaded to whatever deity was listening. He wasn't that picky.

His shoes dragged on the ground as he made his way through the crowds of students in the hallway. Under normal circumstances, he would have stood out like coal in snow. But it wasn't normal circumstances.

Not that day.

However, with his head down, he ended up crashing into someone and falling backwards. "Sor-" He began to apologise only to scowl when he realised who he had crashed into. "Kaiba!"

And blew away as I collapsed. So cold.

"Mutt," Seto Kaiba huffed in his usual rude tone.

Joey growled. "Why don't ya watch where yer goin'?"

"You were the one that crashed into me," Seto retorted, his tone cold.

"Whatever, Kaiba." Joey muttered standing back up and brushing invisible dust off his pants. Seto raised an eyebrow. This was unusual for the mutt.

Joey walked past the tall CEO and kept his head down and out of sight.

A black wind took them away from sight.

Seto watched him leave for a moment before shaking his head. Why should he care why the mutt was acting weird?

Cause you like him~ A small voice sang from in Seto’s head.

Seto scowled and slammed his locker door shut. No, I don't!

Yes you do; why else would you call him mutt all the time? You think he's as cute as a puppy, the voice replied.

I call him mutt because he's no better than a dog, so shut up. Seto growled, stalking towards his next class. As though sensing his bad mood, the crowd parted to avoid him.
