On The Edge (ygo Puppyshipping)

"Under that paper is a business proposal I wrote up for you. The years are growing more tiring for me." Business proposal? Joey's fingers only lingered a little more on the paper before sliding it off the desk and reading what was under it. He skipped some lines, just skimming over it lightly before his eyes settled on something.

'Upon the terms and conditions of this contract, Kichirou Tsuda places upon the responsibility of Joseph Wheeler to take ownership of the company, Tsuda Steel and Construction.'

For a moment, time stood still. Everything in the universe halted, even Joey's breathing. His eyes kept its stare at the paper, reading over the line again and again.

----

6 years after graduating from Domino Highschool, Joey found himself working under a construction company. His dueling career had a crash landing a year after graduation thanks to Seto Kaiba. Tournaments had started rolling out new ranking systems for duelists to enter into higher ranked ones, the ones where money and fame was on the line. Kaiba of course, had always led these tournaments and had made sure Joey's was ranked lower to keep his filthy paws off the market. After a year, he gives up, working under a construction company to keep his hands busy in the meantime. Finding a new hobby and passion, he's content with his life and motorcycle to keep him sane. Although, one day his boss brings him in for something important, finding out he wants to hand the company down to Joey. What he doesn't know though is that Joey's employer has a contract with Kaiba Corporation.

(Really wish now I would have use the JP name for jou 😞)
