Snow Day

Kaiba's POV

Of all the days it decided to snow, it had to be today. I sat in my office, confused as to how Joey had made it in my assistant couldn't. They lived together for goodness sakes. I sat up straight as a knock came from the door. "Come in."

Joey came in, his h ad hanging slightly low as he placed the reports on my desk. "You okay?" He asked moving the other side towards me. I could see the slight blush on his face.

"Yes but I'm a bit lost without my assistant," I couldn't believe I admitted that. Sure she was annoying but Emi got the work done for me. "Where is she?"

"She did email you," joey lifted his head in confusion. Then his look turned stern. Why do I feel scared? "Check your junk box."

I did as I was ordered to do. Huh, never saw this day coming, me being ordered around by my puppy. I looked in my junk box and there is was. The email saying she had been vomiting all night and couldn't risk the journey in with her stomach. Shoot! "You still haven't added our emails huh?" Joey giggled. I felt his lips kiss my cheek. "You have friends now, remember?"

I let out a small grunt. In a way, I guess I do have friends. I took a look outside, the snow had started to come down heavier then before. "Look," joey started. "It's not my place to stay but maybe you should send people home. The snow is getting heavy and some might struggle with the commute." 

My puppy has a point. I'd already heard from Mokuba that school let him leave early too. I sighed as I started up my emails, as my assistant isn't here I'll have to send out the mass email myself. I heard Joey let out a slight laugh in the small victory. "I'm going to check the trains to make sure they are running," he said hoping from the desk while I completed the email. I can hear the rumours now about how maybe I've been hacked and it's all a joke. "Damnit!"

"What's wrong pup?" I asked As Joey sat defeated on the couch.

"Looks like I'm walking home," he sighed. "Local transport looks like it's at a halt."

"My place is closer. Mokuba wouldn't mind seeing you," I said, giving him a mischievous smile. I watched as he blushed deeply, how cute. He gave a small nod before turning and leaving to go and get his belongings.

I guess a snow day isn't the worse thing that could happen. Joey was very, unJoey like when we entered the mansion. This is his first visit so I imagine he would be nervous. "Big bro you're home," we looked to see Mokuba covered head to to in snow. "Hey Joey."

"Hey kiddo," Joey said patting Mokuba on the head. "How's school going?"

"Boooring!" He moaned. "Hey come out back and play in the snow with me!"

"Join us?" Joey asked shyly.

I sighed. "I can't right now." They both gave me a pleading look. "Once I make this call I will be out, okay?"

I grinned as they high fived each other before dashing into our garden. Sometimes I forget who I fell for. I placed my suitcase on the table as I continued to dial the number I needed. "Hello," I heard the cough on the other end.

"Nice for you to show up to work," I said with a sarcastic tone.

"Bite me!" Emi responded. "I emailed you!"

"Yes Joey pointed out I never actually saved your email." I laughed lightly. "You okay?"

"Do I sound it?" With that I heard more coughing. "What you want?"

"You can stay home the rest of the week," I said bluntly. "I don't need someone infecting my work force."

"That's nice of you," I could hear the sarcasm. "As nice as you letting people have a snow day."

"Joey tell you?"

"He lives here he has to." I looked outside to see Mokuba and Joey happily making a snowman. "So hang up this phone and enjoy your snow day with him."

With that I did. Not even saying goodbye. One of the maids brought me my winter coat I took off the suit jacket and wrapped myself up in the coat. I think this is the first time I've had a use for this. I stepped outside to be greeted by Joey's large grin. I love that smile. My puppy's smile. He ran up to me his arms over my shoulders. As our noses touched the snow began to fall more slowly. "I love you," I whispered as I kissed him.
