The CEO, The Priest and The Helpless Puppy

Seto Effing Kaiba

"Well?" The brunet asked in annoyance. Joey could do nothing but stare at him intensely, he didn't want to see Seto at the moment, he didn't want to see him at all. He wanted Seth. It was strange admitting it but at the moment he didn't care, he really missed the priest who was so kind to him throughout these past few months. Now, Joey was standing in front of Seth's look-alike, Seto Kaiba, getting glared and yelled at. It made the blonde's heartbreak because he resembled the kind priest so much.

He knew the two were not the same, but it still hurt.

Before either of the two could say anything, the guard cleared his throat, re-capturing Joey's attention. The two turned towards him as the guard pointed to a random direction, possibly the direction towards the palace, where the Pharaoh and Seth were at. Joey nodded, understanding what the guard was trying to tell him and the two began walking away. Looking back at Seto from over his shoulder, he waved for the taller male to follow him. Not once caring if the cruel CEO would or not, Joey just kept following the guard.

He just wanted to get back to the palace and see the others, he was not up for the emotional pain and verbal abuse the CEO usually puts him though, perhaps Egypt had made him grow soft...

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

It was odd, the mutt usually growled or yelled back at him, he didn't just stare, looking all pained and disappointed. Watching the other made him feel a pang of guilt like he always did after he would spout out a cruel comment at the other, but he just pushed the emotion away as always and followed the blond. Who knows, maybe he knows where the midget was so that the three could somehow get the hell out of there and pretend that this never happened. Maybe he'd even get to punish his pup when they return; after all, it was the blond who destroyed a multi-million dollar machine.

The three soon walked throughout the market, and Seto noticed they were getting closer to the palace of the Pharaoh. As they walked on he noticed people staring at them, and most of the men were staring at Joey. It was then that Seto noticed the looks of lust in their eyes as they eyed the blond. This made him angry as he growled at them all, he didn't like the way they stared at Joey. Although it's true he'll admit that he, in fact, held some sort of infatuation towards Joey.

But that must only be just his hormones or infatuation, nothing more nothing less.

Seto let his own eyes linger towards the blonde's body and now that he looked at him properly, he saw that the blond was wearing a tunic, with a gold belt around his waist that the royals used. The tunic itself was above his knees and clung to his body, showing off his rather nice curves and the sway of his hips was intoxicating. Seto allowed his eyes to linger to Joey's upper torso and he noticed the blond was shirtless, allowing the world to check out his nicely toned and slightly tanned torso. The blond was also wearing a gold necklace; it sort of looked like a collar on him, as if to say 'Taken'.

At this, he frowned, who was the one that got the blond into a collar anyways? The bastard will pay for taking what belonged to him.

Wait, Joey didn't belong to him.

He didn't want Joey!

Why would he want a mutt? Does he want Joey? As these thoughts ran through his mind, he failed to take in that they had already arrived at the Palace.

"Joey!"

A voice similar to his own, yet much lighter, laced with affection and worry called out, taking Seto out of his own thoughts. The brunet turned his attention to Joey, only to see him in a tight embrace, with a brunet that resembled himself only with slightly longer hair, softer blue eyes and tan. Seto growled, he didn't like what he was seeing. The brunet was holding Joey tightly in his arms, his face twisted into that of worry, but that wasn't what made Seto snap, what made Seto snap was the sight of Joey actually returning the embrace. The two held each other for a little while as Seto watched in rage and utter shock, as the two parted the Seto look-alike cupped Joey's cheeks and rubbed them with his thumbs affectionately, looking deeply into Joey's eyes and smiling lovingly at him. Joey smiled back and giggled, literally giggled, as he stared into the look-alike's eyes.
