We Love In Vain

Chapter VI: This Is Only A Game

A/N: Uuumm I dunno what to even say. Thanks for the support so far though, it really means a lot, I hope you’re liking it.

Sleep was torn away from a very tired Joey Wheeler at two minutes past ten o'clock the next morning. "Shit," He mumbled into his pillow, realising he had been meant to go to wake up for school but had slept through his alarm. Louder, "SHIT," as he realised he was also meant to be meeting Kaiba today. He sat up quickly, rubbing sleep from his eyes.

Kaiba...Well that would explain the two loud beeps he had heard from the road. He went to the window and looked out from his apartment window, down to where a red car was parked on the road. A Maserati. Wow. No prizes for guessing who owned that. Joey looked back to his bed, noticing that his phone was lighting up.

PRICK: Get yourself down here this instance. I am not coming up to your kennel, Mutt.

Joey actually laughed a little at that.

Puppy: Shower. Be down in 5.

PRICK: You better be.

A few minutes later, Joey, in jeans and a t-shirt (a blue one, not the Scape Goat one, although annoying Kaiba by wearing it again had been tempting) ran out of his apartment and down the stairs to the street to get into the car.

Seto leaned from his seat to quickly kiss Joey on the lips and pull the seatbelt across him. He clicked it into the buckle and started the car.

"Wow, ain't this car a bit much?" Joey asked, looking around at the interior, it was matte black and bright white, and there were red lights on the dash and around the sound system.

Kaiba stroked the dashboard fondly with one hand, looking out at the road, "I happen to love it." he moved his hand across and put his fingers through Joey's. The blond didn't speak, but looked at his hand in Kaiba's and smiled slightly.

"Yeah well, if ya gonna be drivin' me 'round in it, I guess it needs to be first class," Joey said, and grinned at Seto.

Kaiba ignored Joey’s remark, but squeezed his hand slightly and kept driving. He needed to get his car out of this area fast...this whole neighbourhood was...creeping him out.

"Today is going to be excellent, Puppy," Seto said, as they arrived at his mansion.

"Ya pretty confident huh?" Joey stuck out his tongue at Kaiba, then looked out of his window at the expansive home before him. It impressed him every time, honestly. It was so beautiful. Everything about it was representative of Kaiba and Joey loved it. Even if it was over the top, because really, that was just Kaiba anyway.

As they walked inside, Joey stretched his arms up and yawned, "So what's on the schedule today?"

"Come into the lounge and find out," Kaiba took Joey's hand again.

"How many do ya have anyway? Like five hundred? Which one do ya mean?" Joey asked, and went with Kaiba, across the floor of the spacious entry room.

"I mean the same one that I was in last time we were in a lounge room. It happens to be my favourite." Seto rolled his eyes, “They’re all different anyway, they have different purposes.”

" Ya kiddin', there ain’t nothing in there but that one couch and some tables. Ya so boring Kaiba."

"First of all, it's a sofa not a couch, and secondly if you're bored when you get in there you're free to leave," Seto shrugged and pulled Joey into the room.

The blond gasped a little, "Woah."

The blue sofa had been pulled back, and the wall opposite it had been slid away to reveal the flat screen television and an open cabinet built into the wall and filled with games. Below that one of the low white tables had been placed and several gaming systems were plugged in; glowing and blinking at Joey, waiting to be played with controllers in front of each of them.
