A Duelists Love Triangle

Chapter 18

Kaiba's POV

I can't believe I actually forgot my documents! This is exactly what I get for being so easily aroused by the puppy in the morning...

I brashly open the door to my house and dash up the stairs to see me door slightly open. Hm, that's odd. I know Joey is still recovering, so he couldn't have properly opened it... Mabye Mokuba went upstairs to chat with Joey?

Worried, I quicken my pace and open the door saying:

"Hey Joey, sorry I forgot to pick up... My docu...ments."

I was absolutely flabbergasted from what I had seen... So many unknown emotions were over throwing my common sense. I saw Yugi straddled over Joey kissing him. Kissing my puppy. MINE. I look at my puppy to see a shocked and confused look on his face... I suppose the feeling isn't mutual. I saw Joey had his trousers undone? And his hand was covered in some thick white liquid...

Yugi stops kissing Joey and looks up at me with not even a hint of guilt. That just pissed me off more than usual. I furrow my brow with my arms crossed trying to keep as calm as possible.

"What do you think you are doing to Joey?" I spoke with a hint of sharpness.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm taking him back. It's not healthy for him to be looked after by someone who's barely at home." Yugi said staying straddled over Joey. This price of trash thinks he can fool me? That's cute. That's real cute.

"Oh? Where would you even take him back to hm? Your run down game shop? I'm quite positive you already have to look after your grandpa, never mind Joey who's already I'm my care." I said smugly with a smirk on my face to hide my rage from surfacing.

"Kaiba. My family has nothing to do with this! Joey is mine, and I won't let you have him!" Yugi nearly shouted as he got off of Joey and walked towards me.

"Your wrong Yugi. You've been the worst influence I've ever seen! Joey won't allow me to go out with him, because of your stupid lies!" I raise my voice as I grip Yugi by the jacket and shove him backwards, enough so that he loses a bit of balance.

"Lies? Yuge, what's Seto on about? Seto, I'm sorry but I can't really believe dat Yuge would lie ta me..." Joey whispered still in shock. He grabbed the bed cover and put it over him to make himself more decent.

"Joey... I'm sorry. I did lie to you, but for your benefit! I said I liked Kaiba, whom you disliked, because I was hoping you'd get jealous of him and return my feelings. But it turned out both Kaiba and I love you." Yugi turned to face Joey as he spoke looking at him with some guilt in his face. Serves him damn right!

"Yugi... I can't believe ya did dat... I..." Joey started speaking with a quiver in his voice. Tears started streaming down his cheeks. I was surprised by this reaction. My poor puppy...

"I can't believe dat ya lied to me like dat! I loved Seto for YEARS and then you said you liked him... So I decided to let you have 'im and hid my feelings... All for you!" Joey couldn't hold back his tears at all. He buried his face in the bed covers to try and keep strong.

Yugi was in shock, and as was I. Joey finally admitted his feelings for me. However not in the way I wanted him to...

"Joey... I didn't know you felt that way... Why didn't you tell me? I thought we were friends... Don't you love me?" Yugi said heart broken.

"I can't..." Joey whispered quietly.

"You can't what Joey?" Yugi asked as I observed.

"I can't love either of you, I don't want te get hit!!! Don't touch me..." Joey started at the ceiling, and started freaking out. What happened to him???

"Argh! Ahhh!!! It hurts... Stop it! I don't want to cause trouble... My dad will kill me... KILL ME! PLEASE STOP ARGUING!" Joey screamed in agony, while throwing his arms around and kicking at Yugi and I.

Shit. We need to do something fast, I think our argument triggered an unwanted flash back...

I ran over to Joey and hugged him tightly. I stroked his hair and began whispering to him despite how much he was hurting me. It's all worth it if Joey gets better.

"Shhhh puppy... Nobody is going to hurt you when I'm around... It's ok to love it's not causing anyone any trouble..." I spoke gently to him attempting to calm him down. He finally stopped flailing and got heavier all of a sudden.

"Joey? Joey are you okay?" I asked him with no response. I then realised he had fallen unconscious into my arms. He must have been extremely stressed out from today... It makes sense.

Yugi slowly walks towards Joey and I in terror. He stares blankly at the pained puppy on the bed...

"I'm sorry. Kaiba I had it all wrong... I wouldn't have been able to deal with that. I'll go back to being his friend when he recovers, as it's clear he love you and only you..." Yugi said apologetically. He was clearly ashamed of himself.

"Get out of my sight." I said sternly. I didn't look at him but I heard him running out of my bedroom.

Looks like I'll have to cancel the meeting and work to take care of him for the day.

Yugi's POV

Joey rejected me... I'm not surprised. He felt that way about Kaiba yet he never told me because of what I said... I'm so stupid!

"Yes, yes you are." A certain voice in my head said softly. It can't be... Yami!?

"Yami... Where have you been? I Missed you..." I said upset, to Yami.

"Yugi... You hurt me. You didn't tell me that you liked Joey and lied to me about having feelings for Kaiba." Yami spoke as if he had been betrayed. I don't understand why he is this hurt though.

"I'm sorry Yami, it wasn't intention. But why are you still mad? Any other friend would probably be fine by now..." I said holding my chin, pondering the reasons why Yami may act this way.

"Yugi. I'm angry because I love you more than anything this world has to offer. Yet you loved someone else. You understand that feeling right?" Yami said in a hurt tone...
