Seto Kaiba's life was getting worse by the minute. First, his company was almost bought out by another company. Then his younger brother relieved him of the position of CEO of Kaiba Corporation and kicked him out of the house. There was no way things could get any worse, right? Wrong…

After Mokuba had almost literally thrown Seto out on the street, Yugi found him. Yes, Yugi Mutou, his all time biggest rival had found him sitting in front of 'his' house with a suitcase. Of course Yugi, being the nice guy he is, offered Seto help, which Seto grudgingly accepted.

Yugi brought Seto to his apartment, and offered him a place to stay. Once again Seto grudgingly accepted. Later that night Yugi finally got the chance to ask the question that he'd wanted to ask since he had found Kaiba.

"Why did you get kicked out of your house, Kaiba?"

"Mokuba took over the company; he said I wasn't fit to lead the company anymore. Then he kicked me out of the house, because it was his authority to do so. My own brother kicked me out into the street," answered Seto sounding unbelieving of what he was saying.

"Well, I suppose you could stay here until you get back up on your feet. I've come into a lot of money recently, so I have no problems helping you out," suggested Yugi.

Seto thought about it for a moment, he had basically two choices. Go live out on the street or let Yugi help him. Seto decided to ignore the question for the moment.

"What do you mean you came into a lot of money recently?" asked Seto.

"Well, I got a new job," answered Yugi.

"Doing what?"

"Look it's not like I'm selling drugs on the street, okay? So, stop pressing me or I won't let you stay here," said Yugi clearly annoyed.

"Okay, I'm sorry," replied Seto, "and thanks for letting me stay here for a while, until I can pick up my life."

"It's no problem," said Yugi, walking towards his bedroom yawning, "I'm going to bed. There's an extra room that you can stay in, G'night."

"Night," mumbled Seto.

Seto picked up his bag and briefcase and went into the extra room. He sat down on the bed, thinking about how big Yugi's apartment turned out to be. There was a big kitchen, a living room, two bathrooms, three bedrooms (one had been turned into a study), and a huge balcony.

Seto stared at the blank wall in front of him, thinking about what had happened that day, and wondering how Yugi could afford this huge apartment when he was only twenty-two or twenty-three years old. Seto couldn't figure out what kind of job would pay a good amount of money to someone just over twenty.

Seto shook his head and decided to go to sleep; he turned off the lights and lay back onto the bed. After a few moments he drifted off to sleep.

Seto woke the next morning to find that Yugi had already left for work, or so the note said.

Yugi entered the rather large break room of the building where he worked. He was greeted by almost everyone he walked past, he didn't stop to chat but instead he walked to the back of the room, where a blond and a brunet were sitting.

"Hey, Yugi."

"Joey, Tristan, you're both here a bit early aren't you?" asked Yugi.

"Yeah, 'Kura's got us doing some big shoot this morning," said Tristan as Yugi sat down.

"Yug, did you hear that Mokuba took over Kaiba corp. and booted 'rich boy' out? It was all over the news this morning," said Joey.

"Yeah, I found him and he is currently staying at my apartment, until he can get back on his feet," replied Yugi.

"Heh, don't let 'Kura hear you say that," said Tristan.

"Why?"

"'Kura's been wanting Kaiba to model for him ever since he had this idea in high school, and now that he's out of a job…" Tristan trailed off.

"Bakura wants 'rich boy' to work here?" asked Joey surprised, "Like that'll ever happen."

"Joey and Tristan, please come to Studio 1-B. Joey and Tristan to Studio 1-B…"

"Sorry, gotta go, Yug," said Joey leaving the table.

"Mention working here to Kaiba, 'Kura would be thrilled if he came," said Tristan following Joey.

"Kaiba working here? A snowball would have a better chance of surviving in hell then I would have trying to get Kaiba to work here," Yugi muttered to himself, still thinking about mentioning it to him.

"Pharaoh, please come to Mr. Ishtar's office please. Pharaoh to Mr. Ishtar's office…"

"What could he possibly want?" Yugi asked himself nonplussed, getting up to leave the break room.

A few minutes later Yugi entered Malik Ishtar's office. Malik was on the phone, so Yugi sat in the chair across from him and waited. After a few moments Malik hung up the phone and rubbed his temples while staring at his desk.

"You wanted to see me?" asked Yugi, making Malik jump, he hadn't known that Yugi had entered his office.

"Yes, I did," said Malik smiling while getting up and walking around his desk. Yugi watched him wondering what the blonde was thinking.

"I noticed that you used my shoot name to call me," said Yugi.

"I did," replied Malik, resting both of his hands on Yugi's knees. He leaned forward and kissed Yugi's neck, running his hands up the insides of Yugi's thighs, eliciting a soft moan from the boy beneath him.

"Bakura will get mad if we do this, Malik," said Yugi.

"Let him get mad," growled Malik biting Yugi's earlobe.

"I could loose my job," replied Yugi.

"I'll just rehire you, besides you make us too much money. There's no way Bakura would fire you," said Malik meeting Yugi's eyes, "Any other reasons?"

Yugi kissed Malik hard, biting his lower lip. Malik moaned giving Yugi a chance to deepen the kiss. After a moment or two, they finally broke apart to breathe.

"I guess not," said Malik.

Seto flipped through the channels on the T.V lazily, day time T.V sucked. After a few minutes he gave up shutting the T.V off. He glanced at the clock; it was almost four, in another few minutes Yugi would be home. Not that Seto was excited about it, it was just boring sitting by himself all day.

Seto had wasted most of the afternoon reading through the 'classifieds,' looking for a job. Most of the "jobs" that being offered right now, he was over qualified for, and there was no way that he could take orders from some idiot boss. He had been the boss, his whole life. There was no way he could work for someone else now. Seto heard the door open.

"Hey, I'm home," called Yugi.

"Don't expect me to freak out about it, Yugi," muttered Seto, getting up from the couch and walking to the kitchen. Yugi was taking off his jacket.

"Seto, have you ever heard of 'Explicit?'" asked Yugi.

"Uh…no, why?" replied Seto, pretending he hadn't.

Yugi gave Seto a look that plainly stated that he did not believe whet the X-CEO had just said, "I'm not stupid, so don't think you can lie to me about something like that."

"Okay, yes, I have heard of it. I know that it is one of the few pornography magazines that have different types of issues for different people. I even have a few issues, happy now?"

"Ecstatic, what do you think of it?" asked Yugi.

"What is this twenty questions…Why are you asking me these questions?" responded Seto sound extremely suspicious.

"Remember yesterday, when you asked me where I worked?"

"Yes," said Seto slowly, suddenly his eyes widened, he had figured it out, "Do you work for 'Explicit?'"

"Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I can get you a job there," replied Yugi.

"What are you the editor or something?" asked Seto unbelieving.

"No, I'm a model, though you wouldn't know unless you looked at the homosexual addition," said Yugi giving Kaiba a look, which earned him a glare from the X-CEO, "Anyway, I think I can get you a job modeling as well."

Seto started to laugh nervously, "You're joking, right?"

"No, according to Tristan, Bakura really wants you to model for 'Explicit.'"

"Tristan and Bakura work there too?" asked Seto, his eyes widening slightly. He started to hope that this was all a crazy dream.

"Well, yeah. Tristan is a model and Bakura co-owns the whole magazine," explained Yugi completely calm, acting like nobody would think it was weird that Bakura owned 'Explicit' magazine and that Tristan and himself worked there.

"Who else works there that I know?" asked Seto, even though he was afraid of what the answer would be.

"Well, Malik owns the other half of the 'zine, and Joey is a model too."

"And you're saying that I could…uh…model for 'Explicit' too?" asked Seto, his voice carrying a slightly hysterical edge.

"Well, you'd have to go to an interview with Bakura, but it's only a suggestion, you could get a different job," said Yugi quickly, worried the Seto might faint or something.

"Okay, I'm going to bed now," said Seto turning. Yugi noticed that Seto's voice had gone up a few octaves.

"But its four o'clock in the afternoon," replied Yugi, surprise was evident in his voice.

"I know." Seto continued to walk towards the room he was currently staying in. He shut the door behind him, when he entered the room.

"Wow, I hope I didn't scare him or anything," Yugi said to himself.

Seto layed on the bed staring at the ceiling, thinking about what Yugi had just said. What would happen if he went and became a porn model? Seto could already see the headlines, "Seto Kaiba, recently replaced CEO of Kaiba corp, becomes a model for 'Explicit' magazine." It would be embarrassing, but it would be more embarrassing Kaiba corp, then it would be for him.

"So what? I'm going to become a porn-star just to get back at my younger brother?" Seto asked himself out loud. He thought about the question for a while, then thought, 'Hell, why not.'

Seto told Yugi that he'd go to an interview with Bakura. So, Yugi called 'Explicit' and set up an interview for the following morning.

The next morning Yugi woke Seto up at seven in the morning. Seto took a shower and got dressed, and then they left for the 'Explicit' building. Yugi lead Seto to Bakura's office, they both took a seat outside the door.

"Yugi, please come to Mr. Ishtar's office, Yugi, to Mr. Ishtar's office…"

"Damn, how does he even know I'm here," questioned Yugi sounding rather confused, as he looked up at the ceiling. He got up to leave, "I'll be back." Yugi walked away, leaving Seto to wait alone.

After a few moments the secretary said that he could go in. Seto entered Bakura's office, his heart pounding in his chest. Surprisingly, he was nervous, which was completely out of character for him, still he didn't let it show on his face. Bakura looked up from the papers on his desk, he was surprised, but happy to see him.

"I never thought that there'd be a chance that one day you'd apply to work for me, Seto," said Bakura, looking the brunet up and down.

"It's killing me too, Ryou," retorted Seto.

"I never understood why you were always so hostile," said Bakura getting up from behind his desk.

"That was sarcasm not hostility," replied Seto rolling his eyes.

"I suppose it was," said Bakura with a slight smirk, walking around to the front of his desk and leaning against it, "I heard your company was almost bought out. So which one was it? Industrial Illusions?"

"Yeah, right. He wishes," retorted Seto.

"Shroder corp?"

"No."

"Paradias?"

"They went out of business two years ago."

"Hmm," Bakura looked into Seto's eyes, "I give up, what company almost bought you out?"

"What does this have to do with the interview?" asked Seto getting annoyed.

"Nothing really, I was just trying to make conversation but if you just want to skip to the interview, then," Bakura leaned back over his desk and picked up a packet of papers, "Here's the contract, everything will be explained in it. All you have to do is read and sign. Of course you don't even have to read it, I would never put you in a situation you wouldn't like."

"Yeah, nice try, I'm reading it," replied Seto not believing a word that Bakura had just said.

"Your no fun," pouted Bakura.

Seto rolled his eyes and started to read the contract. He had experience reading these while his ran Kaiba corp, he had even written a few. He knew that skimming though the long paragraphs was not an option. Most people hid things in the long paragraphs by using large words and technical terms, and there was no way that Seto was going to put himself in an awkward position.

After three hours had past Bakura started to get impatient, he knew that Seto was reading and rereading each paragraph at least twice. He started to pace his office, after a few minutes he turned to Seto.

"Are you going to sign that or just keep reading?" asked Bakura rather annoyed, "I'm sure you've read at least twice now."

"Getting impatient now, are we?" said Seto calmly not looking up from the contract.

"Yes, what do you think? It normally takes less then an hour for normal people to sign a contract," said Bakura moving from annoyed to irritated.

"Well, that'll be the first thing you learn about me. I'm not normal," replied Seto, still reading the contract for the third time. Bakura gave a small growl and sat down behind his desk staring at Seto.

A few minutes later there was a knock on Bakura's door.

"Yes, what is it?" called Bakura from his desk still watching Seto re-read the contract, he still sounded rather irritable.

The door opened and Malik walked in, holding a picture. He glanced over at Seto and cocked an eyebrow at the X-CEO; he shrugged and walked in front of Bakura's desk, blocking Seto from his view.

"What do you want, Malik?" asked Bakura with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"I thought you might want to see this," said Malik holding up the picture.

"Where the hell did you get that?" asked Bakura trying to remain calm.

"Oh, just this morning," answered Malik waving the picture back and forth.

"I said where not when, and what do you want from me?" replied Bakura, loosing some of his cool.

"I can't tell you where I got it, and all I want is you autograph," said Malik playing coy trying to make Bakura mad.

"Well, your not getting it, get out," snapped Bakura.

"Why must you be so difficult?" pouted Malik.

"Out, Malik, out," hissed Bakura in a lethal whisper.

Malik looked back at Seto out of the corner of his eye, Seto was still re-reading the contract, but Malik could tell that he wasn't really paying attention to what he was reading.

"Fine, I don't need your autograph, but you don't mind if I show this picture to Kaiba, he looks awfully curious," said Malik with a smirk.

"Malik, get the hell out before I throw you out!" yelled Bakura glaring daggers at blond Egyptian.

"Hay, I own half of this building you can't throw me out," retorted Malik trying to act shocked and hurt that Bakura would consider such a thing, but it didn't carry right and he sounded more defiant then anything.

"That maybe true, but I can't still throw you out of my half of the building, which means I can throw you out of my office," replied Bakura sounding slightly hysterical.

Malik smirked and turned to leave Bakura's office, pocketing the picture. He winked at Seto, and then left the office. Seto stared at the door, completely forgetting the contract. Then he looked over at Bakura, who looked like he wanted to bang his head on his desk or at least bash Malik's head into a wall.

Seto got up and walked behind Bakura, he used the wall to sign the contract, before setting the contract on Bakura's desk, "So what was the picture of?"

Bakura jumped, he had almost forgotten the Seto was still there, and the fact the Seto was leaning over him had shocked him as well. He didn't respond, causing Seto to smirk. He walked away and sat down in the chair across from Bakura. Bakura just sat there staring at him.

After a few minutes, "I didn't sign the contract, I've decided that I don't want work here," lied Seto, sounding serious.

"What?" Bakura snapped back to reality and looked at the contract sitting next to him on his desk.

"I didn't sign it," said Seto getting up to leave.

"Why?" asked Bakura, half-angry, half-disappointed.

Seto opened the door, "I don't agree to the terms, on the last page." Seto walked out of Bakura's office shutting the door behind him.

Bakura starred at the door for a few minutes, then looked at the contract. 'Wait…there aren't any terms on the last page.' He picked it up a flipped to the last page and scanned down the page. Reaching the bottom he saw written on the line for a signature, SetoKaiba.

"That bastard," muttered Bakura glaring absently as if he could still see the X-CEO.
