My Abused Puppy (Rewrite)

Chapter 4- Part 3

"How was I supposed to tell you about what was happening?" Joey asked his questioning friend.

"Joey, we have been friends since year one in high school, why did you never tell us about your past?" Tristen asks, betrayal evident on his face.

"Watch it, Honda. I will force you to leave," Kaiba said, a threatening atmosphere taking over the room.

"You stay out of this. This is between me and Joey, Kaiba," Tristen said, challenging the older Kaiba.

"I am much more involved than you think, you pompous ass," Kaiba said.

"What do you mean you're involved," Tea questioned, her frame shaking in horror as the idea of those evil people got a hold of their sweet friend.

Joey's eyes glazed over, his face becoming blank. This scared the group around the table, even Kaiba.

"That is enough for today," Kaiba said, his tone stating his no-nonsense attitude for Joey's well-being.

"May we return tomorrow?" Yugi asked, trying to keep a nervous Yami at bay.

"No," Kaiba responded, "Come back in a week or two, when Joey might feel up to talking about

his trauma."

Yugi nods and leaves with the rest of the group.

Kaiba sighs and returns to his puppy's side to offer any comfort or love.

Joey was smiling again, but Kaiba could see how false it was, how terrified Joey was about his past.

"Don't try to give me that fake smile, puppy," Kaiba whispered, a little hurt, "I am here for you. I have been and plan to always be here."

"What do you mean," Joey said, his eyes tearing up, "I am fine."

Joey releases a sob and runs into Kaiba's open arms.

"Shhh, I got you. I will never let them hurt you again," Kaiba said, holding his sobbing puppy close.

"They h-hurt me a-a-and I enjoyed it," Joey sobbed, "W-what is wrong with me?"

Kaiba whispered into his ear, "You have nothing wrong with you, puppy."

"R-really?"

"Yes, puppy. An orgasm does not mean you enjoy rape, or having another physical reation. It is a biological function of the human body, not even our emotions can stop it," Kaiba said, as he remembered reading that fact on a site.

( This is an actual site that I found)

"S-so, I am not a-alone," Joey whispered, his voice trembling.

"No, puppy. Many people think what you did, but it is not true, no matter who they are," Kaiba said, his voice firm.

"Thank you, Seto," Joey said, slowly falling asleep in Kaiba's arms as his stress and fear dissipate.

"Goodnight, my beloved puppy," Kaiba said, a light blush on his cheeks.

"It's been a week, Kaiba. I can talk with them again," Joey said, rolling his eyes at the overprotective Kaiba.

"Are you sure? I don't want you to experience anything you don't want to," Kaiba said, worried about his puppy.

"I am not sure about this Kaiba, but it is something I have to do," Joey whispered. He smiled to Kaiba and hugged him.

Kaiba sighed, "Alright, but don't over do yourself."

He embraced Joey and kissed his head, enjoying the momentary peace.
