Kaiba looked up as Joey burst through his office door. He was expecting the shorter boy, but he was still startled by the loud noise…not that it really showed on his face.
"Hola," He said smoothly.
"Say what?" Joey said, confused. He was pretty sure that it was Spanish, but he really couldn't remember what that meant.
Seto raised an eyebrow. "How can I help you, Joey?"
"Right! Hola means 'how may I help you'(1)" Joey told himself. "I just wanted to talk about what happened in the bathroom earlier."
"I figured as much."
"Um…" "Smart, he is going to think I'm completely retarded! What am I supposed to say?"
"Did I move too fast for you?"
"Well…no, not really, I guess. I just wanted to know what was up with us, ya know."
"What do you want?"
Joey sighed. "I want to talk about what happened, jeez."
The CEO's eye twitched. "I meant, what do you want to happen between the two of us."
"I do not want to be used with out getting something in return."
There was a long pause. Kaiba was obviously thinking to himself, but Joey's mind was completely blank. He really didn't know what to expect.
"I have no intention of using you Wheeler."
"Well, good."
"What else do you want? I must admit I am rather confused. You seem more hostile now than you did in your note."
"Well, I didn't know what I was saying earlier."
"I see. It is ok to be confused about your fe…" Kaiba seemed to have a small epiphany, and stopped. He looked completely crushed for a second, before he continued quietly. "You weren't confused about your feelings…you really have no idea what you said."
"Um…I know what I said now…I looked it up in the dictionary. But it isn't really a big deal. I know you don't really like me back."
Kaiba, who had his head in his hands, looked up again, "Oh really?"
"I know you saw that I liked you, and you just wanted to use me. And it is ok, because I don't mind, so long as I get something out of it. Let's face it, neither of us get much action. We could get together and…do stuff…if you want."
"You are an idiot. Do not assume you know anything about me or the way I think. You might have been too stupid to know what you were saying, but I knew what I was saying, and it was not a lie. I like you! There, I said it so you can know it for what it is…a fact." He sighed, and slumped in his chair, "Anyways, it is obvious that my feelings are not returned. I can't command you to keep this a secret, but it would be greatly appreciated. If you don't mind, I have work to do."
Kaiba turned back to his computer. He quickly re-read what he had been typing, and started working. He completely ignored Joey, even thought the boy had not left the room.
Joey stood still, in the same position he had been when the conversation started. He was absorbing everything Kaiba had said. Kaiba had been telling the truth. He liked Joey. Kaiba had kissed him, thinking it was real. Kaiba was crushed when he found out the truth. All of this slowly sank in, one fact at a time. Each time he fully realized one of them, his eyebrows would rise. By the end of his slow epiphany they had disappeared into his messy bangs.
Once everything sank in, Joey just stood there, staring at the taller teen. He let his mind wander. "Damn, he looks like he is really into his work. He types really fast, which probably means he is thinking even faster! I wish I could think fast. Then I would not be in this mess. Kaiba must think I'm the stupidest person on the planet! He is probably right."
After about 10 minutes of beating himself up over being an idiot, he started to really look at Kaiba. He began to notice small things about Kaiba. "He wears strange clothes. He got rid of that big trench coat last year, but his clothes are still weird. He is always wearing dark turtle-necks, even in the middle of summer. He also has long black pants to match. I wonder if he ever wears shorts…probably not. I bet he doesn't even own any since they would clash with his turtle-necks.
His hair is weird too. The color is normal, but the style is strange. Everyone always accuses me of having messy hair, but his is everyone, and no one seems to notice. From far away it looks normal, but standing here I can see that it definitely hasn't been brushed today."
With out noticing it, Joey suddenly blurted out, "You would look better if you brushed your hair." He instantly slapped his hand over his mouth, but the damage was done.
Kaiba's fingers stopped moving over the keyboard. He seemed confused to hear Joey's voice, he had assumed the teen had left by then. "Excuse me?"
"Well, I was just noticing your hair. It seems a little messy from here. You would look more professional if you brushed it…not to mention more attractive."
Kaiba stared at him for what seemed like hours, before going back to his work. "Hey! Did you even hear what I said?" But Kaiba didn't listen to him.
"Fine, be that way." Joey yelled, sticking out his tongue. He finally decided to leave Seto's office. As he walked out he saw one of Kaiba's employees brushing her hair. Joey had a brilliant idea.
He walked over to her, and, dropping his voice lower than normal, he asked, "Should you really be bothering with your hair when you have work to be doing?" He had decided that being nice would get him no where. He stuck out his hand, "Perhaps you would like to give that to me before Mr. Kaiba sees it."
He girl turned bright red and shoved the brush in his hand. "I'm sorry! Please don't tell Mr. Kaiba."
Joey didn't bother answering as he marched back into Kaiba's office.
Kaiba heard Joey come back in, but he decided to ignore him. It wasn't until he felt something touch his head that he spun around. Joey had walked behind him and attempted to brush his hair. Kaiba noted the pink brush before he glared at Joey.
"What are you doing?"
"I was going to brush your hair."
"Why? For the love of God!"
Joey decided to ignore the little outburst. Instead he took Kaiba's chair and spun him around so that he was facing his computer again. He started to run the brush through the boy's hair slowly. Seto was still for a few minutes, but eventually he relaxed and began to type again.
They stayed like that for a while. Joey continued to move the brush through the brunettes hair even after it was untangled. After a little over an hour, Kaiba spoke up.
"Is my hair really that tangled?"
"Um…no…sorry, I was having fun." Joey blushed, but Kaiba just looked at him like he was crazy.
"I have a meeting to go to. I really don't know why you have stayed here this long, so I don't know when you plan to leave. If you want to stay, you can play computer games or watch tv. I'll be back in two hours, but you really don't have to stay that long." Kaiba left after saying all of this.
At first Joey wanted to start heading home, but then he realized that he was in the biggest gaming company in the world, and the owner just offered to let him play on a computer. Joey jumped into the chair that Seto had just been in, and started to look at all of the programs he had. He ended up playing on one of Kaiba Corp's new games that wasn't even out in stores yet. They had only just started advertising it a few days ago.
The two hours passed quickly for Joey. He didn't notice Kaiba coming back into the room until he spoke.
"Are there any glitches?"
Joey jumped out of the chair in shock. "Jesus Christ, you scared the shit out of me!"
"Sorry."
"It's ok. What did you want?"
"Does the game have any glitches?"
"Not that I encountered. I think you made the monster on the second level too hard though."
Kaiba smirked, "Just because you can't get by it doesn't mean that its too hard, it just means you suck."
"Now, now dearest, you aren't ever going to get a boyfriend with that attitude."
There was an awkward pause, before Kaiba asked, "I am done with all of my work, do you want to come to my place for dinner?"
"Sure! Sounds a lot better than what ever Iwould have at my place"
So the two boys headed out of the building to head for the Kaiba mansion. Joey was imagining all of the wonderful things that they might be having for dinner. He just hoped that they didn't serve snails. He figured that Mokuba wouldn't allow such nasty-ness for dinner so he didn't worry too much.
Seto, on the other hand, was thinking about Joey. He had never considered trying to get Joey to like him. He had liked the boy for a long time, but he made sure to hide it. But since Joey had made his little comment, he thought about how he could try to get Joey to like him. As usual, Kaiba's brain was working over time to find the best possible way to get what he wanted.
