Hopelessly Violet

Part 2- Acceptance

That same day, Joey closed the door and started taking off his clothes, leaving only his boxers on. He cuddled up under the warm covers and next thing he knew, he drifted off into a restful sleep. Amid dreaming, he found himself standing in the same forest that had been created by Seto, but something was, of course, different. He could not smell anything, he could not feel anything, but he could see the surrounding trees and hear the animals, "Ay, I'm back." He said as he walked deeper into the peaceful forest until, standing off into the close distance, he saw a figure of a man. Joey couldn't make out who it was until he walked closer, then he saw that it was Seto standing there, looking back at him. What had startled him was not Seto's presence, but it was that he had been smiling. 

"Kaiba? W-what are ya doin'? Stop smilin'. You're startin' to scare me, man." Instead of responding, Seto walked closer to Joey and grabbed his face. He kissed Joey lovingly on the lips, causing Joey to wrap his arms around Seto lovingly. Passion encompassed their bodies, and the forest which surrounded them disappeared, it was only them holding each other close as they made love to one another. Joey began blushing as their lips gently touched and his body relaxed into Seto's firm yet gentle embrace. 

But then, the calm terrain had soon turned into harsh winds as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon soared the sky. The next thing Joey knew, he was lying on his back with Seto on top kissing him as they rode on the back of the Dragon. Seto's lips were so soft, yet firm, as their bodies rubbed up against one another. Seto, continuing to smile, looked down at Joey, "I don't really hate you, Wheeler. I have to confess that I laughed on the inside when I saw you make a complete fool of yourself, but the constant stress of running a multi-billion dollar company, on top of maintaining my image, forced me to hide my smile-- to hide my laughter. I also found your confidence to be...sexy." Seto confessed. Joey lied there looking back up at Seto not saying a word, for at that moment he felt a loss for words, but that didn't insinuate discomfort, it insinuated bliss. This was the first time ever feeling completely comfortable in the presence of Seto Kaiba-- the prick. Seto continued, "Joey, will you be mine? Together, we can run Kaiba Corp. during the day and make love at night. What do you say?" Joey blinked a couple of times. This time he was shocked, "Uhm, sure Kaiba, why not?" Thrilled to bits, Seto grabbed Joey's face, "Good, I'm glad." They kissed once more before the great dragon took a sharp turn and they both fell off it's back, forcing Joey to wake up from his dream with a jump.

"Wha-what just happened? Did I really just? Nah!" Joey turned to look at the clock resting on his nightstand next to his bed, it was 7:30 in the morning--he was late for work. In a panic, he jumped out of bed and saw wetness on his boxers along with a throbbing erection, "Ah geez, I can't work with dis stickin' out! Did my dream cause dis?" Joey closed his eyes tight, clenching his whole body as he tried to think about an old lady in a bikini. Fortunately, it worked and his erection calmed down as it turned flaccid.

Joey walked downstairs to an almost empty store, the only one there was Yugi who was organizing the trap card displays, "You're late, Joey. Is everything okay?" Yugi asked. Joey laughed awkwardly, caressing the back of his head with one hand, "Uh, yeah. Just slept in, is all. But I'm ready to work! What'da got for me today, Yug?" Yugi looked around, "How about you help me organize the normal monster cardcase? That hasn't been touched in a while. It's funny, now that there are so many effect monsters, people don't seem to touch the normals very often anymore." Joey nodded and walked over to the card case. As Joey organized the case, he couldn't help but remember his dream from that night and how beautiful Seto looked as they kissed. He thought about what Seto said to him about being in a relationship and running Kaiba Corp. as lovers. Of course, Joey tried everything in his power to distract himself from his invading thoughts, he even went as far as to stop and read a few cards, but as they were normal monsters, there was not much to read, "I think I'm goin' crazy or somethin'. I'd never kiss Kaiba even if someone paid me money! I think my boredom and loneliness is finally catchin' up to me." Joey's thoughts were quickly overshadowed by the memory of Mai Valentine leaning on her car as she lovingly looked at him, "Hey, Joey. I think you're a pretty cool guy, I hope you know that." Joey remembered her tender voice as if she had just spoken to him the day before, "Yeah, I know I'm a pretty cool gu-" before Joey could finish his sentence, Mai grabbed him by the collar and kissed him.
