Flawed Perfection

Flawed Perfection.

Joey walked home from school, he took the longer way because it cut through the park he loved. He had always loved parks because that's where he had his first everything. Friend, kiss, everything but his first time.

Sighing to himself he sat on the swing set. All the while thinking about the first boy he ever kissed , Seto Kaiba. Kicking his feet back and forth he started swinging and laughing to himself.

-Flashback-

"HIGHER SETO HIGHER!" The little blonde boy giggled as his friend and crush pushed him on the swing.

"Any higher and you might fall off the swing!" He laughed and pushed him higher. Joey fell off and landed face first in the dirt. All of his 'friends' like Tristan and Yami laughed at him.

"Hey! Leave my puppy alone!" Kaiba yelled and helped Joey get up; "everyone has flaws and messes up sometimes so go somewhere else before I hurt you.." He threatened and took Joey to a picnic table and cleaned him up.

Joey was crying hard and rubbed his eyes. "P-people are so mean...." He cried harder and Kaiba; being his first kiss, kissed him to make him stop crying.

Joey pulled back in shock and blushed deeply and Kaiba wiped the little boy's face and dusted off the blue long sleeve shirt he wore. "Feel better puppy?" He asked.

Joey kept blushing and nodded, smiling at Kaiba. "I love you Dragon!" He hugged Kaiba.

"I love you too Puppy." He hugged him back.

-End Flashback-

It had started raining and quickly turned to night, Joey was still sitting on the swing; motionless as silent tears ran down his face. He stood up and made his way back to his house.

He went to his room through the fire escape, not feeling up to taking a beating from his father. He changed out of his soaked clothes to an oversized black sweater, laying on his bed with soaked hair tied with a towel.

The next morning it was Saturday, he woke up and looked around the room to see Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Marik, and Mokuba all standing there. "SUPRISE!" They yelled.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" He yelled out of his accent. "What do you people want it's 8:00 in the morning!" He yelled again. They laughed as they heard him with his accent.

"Joey, you sound like a rich kid." Yami mocked and Yugi hit his arm. "Anyways happy birthday pal, we're taking you out.

"Out where?" He asked still not using his accent. "It's to early...." He rubbed his honey coloured eyes and took the towel off his hair.

"To see someone; they really love you a lot." Ryou smiled and Marik smiled as well. "He was your best friend as a child!" Marik added.

"You found my flawed perfection?" Joey asked and stood up.

"Your what?" Mokuba asked.

"My flawed perfection was everything I was as a child. My parents called me perfect but I was always a flaw to everyone else. So that's my flawed perfection." He told them and pulled the blanket over his head.

"Come on! Stop being lazy!" Yugi yelled and pulled the blanket off him.

"I don't want to! Leave me alone!" He yelled and glared until he saw the door was opened. His father stood there with a fiery glare.

"Joey, your friends need to leave. Now." He told the blonde and they all walked out, "he'll be out later...." He told them and they nodded as he closed the door to the apartment.
