We Love In Vain

Chapter II: Get Your Arms Around Me, Now We're Goin' Down

A/N: Okay here we go. Not much to say this time, but yeah, smut duh.

The first person to speak to Joey at school the next day, was Seto.

A small part inside Joey had hoped that when Seto did talk to him it would have been something nice. After all, Joey figured that even if you didn't get along with someone, if that person let you put your dick in their arse, the least you could do was be polite.

Apparently, those rules didn't apply to Seto Kaiba, because when Joey arrived at the lockers to grab his stuff for first class, the two words Seto greeted him with were, "Nice limp."

"Fuck off," Joey replied immediately.

He turned and opened his locker, grabbing out his books and not looking at Kaiba. Yugi was with him, gathering things from his own locker beside Joey's. He was comfortably oblivious, and Joey really hoped he hadn't heard Kaiba's comment.

Despite Joey's ignoring Kaiba, the CEO wasn't leaving him alone.
"What happened? Get kicked like the stray dog you are?"

"Yeah, by a total freakin' asshole," Joey glared at Kaiba. He had thought maybe Kaiba's attitude would soften if he looked at him. Kaiba obviously liked him right? So maybe if Joey made eye contact, Kaiba would lay off.

Glaring right into his eyes, Kaiba laughed loudly, "Good." He walked away.

Shutting his locker, Joey's spiky haired friend looked up at him, "Wow, it always surprises me just how awful Kaiba is!"

Amazingly, Joey heard himself say, "He ain't that bad."

"Not that bad?" Yugi laughed, "Have you hit your head recently, Joey?"

Joey shook his head with a small laugh, "Don't worry about him, Yuge. C'mon we're gonna be late."

Joey closed his locker as well, and walked in the direction of their first, trying not to be angry that Kaiba had been so awful to him. It had never bothered him before...so it shouldn't bother him now, right?

"Wow, I hate to say it, but Kaiba was right," Yugi looked up at Joey.

"Eh?"

"You do have a limp."

At lunchtime, Yugi and Joey were the first to sit down, before Tea and Tristan got there.

As they grabbed their food out of their bags, Yugi curiously asked his friend, "You never told me, Joey. How did you get that limp?"

Joey laughed, "I didn't tell ya? Oops," He tapped his fingers on the lid of his lunchbox, trying to think of a way to explain the fact that he was having trouble walking totally normally, a way that didn't involve admitting that he'd spent yesterday getting ass-fucked by Seto Kaiba.

"What's wrong?" Yugi asked, sucking on the straw of his juice box, "I was just wondering...did someone hurt you? W-was it your dad, Joey?"

Joey's brown eyes widened, "Wha? No! Nah, nah, Yuge...it wasn't my dad. I was just uh, messing around with a soccer ball and I guess I musta pulled somethin'."

"Oh," Yugi nodded, "You never told me you played soccer."

"It's a recent occurrence," Joey pursed his lips.

By the end of the day, Joey had mostly walked the limp out. It still hurt like a bitch, though. He'd have to ask Kaiba to be more gentle next time. Not that he wanted there to be a next time. Ugh, who was he kidding? With or without the pain...sex with Kaiba had been pretty amazing.
