Kaiba had to figure this out. As he sat in behind his desk in his personal study, the thoughts of what had happened between him and Joey flooded his mind. He had almost lost himself. Kaiba shook his head, how could he let his guard down so fast? He was angry with himself, but on the other hand he was filled with a feeling he had so long forgotten about.

Kaiba got up from his chair and walked over to the window. It was evening and snow was again starting to fall. He stared out, past his reflection, into the darkness. In the reflection of the window, Kaiba saw glimpses of Joey's face when he had uttered those two words just that afternoon.

I promise.

Not quite the confession Kaiba was looking for, but it was enough for Kaiba to hope. He closed his eyes, yes; this was what he would believe in. Somehow Kaiba would eventually get his feelings across to Joey. And hopefully someday Joey would realize his own feelings for Kaiba.

"Master Kaiba?" crackled the intercom.

Kaiba walked over to his desk and pressed the reply button, "Yes?"

"There's someone here to see you. He says his name is Joey Wheeler."

Kaiba's heart leapt, "Send him up," he instantly replied.

Kaiba straightened. He wasn't expecting this, at least not this fast. But then the thought of why else Joey would come to Kaiba entered his mind and he again felt that feeling of fear. He quickly rushed towards the door, just as the doorknob turned. He froze and backed away as the door opened.

There Joey stood, breathing hard. He stared at Kaiba.

"Joey?" said Kaiba slowly, "W-what are you doing here? Did something happen?"

"Ah, I can't explain it Kaiba," Joey shouted out, he clutched his fist, "Why do I feel this way about you?"

Kaiba was so taken back he just gaped at the frustrated blonde. Joey's face was firm and his eyes were searching Kaiba's.

Finaly Kaiba was able to think straight and he took action. He grabbed Joey by the collar and pulled him into the study. He closed the door and Joey let himself be slammed against the door. Kaiba kept a firm grip on Joey's collar and now pulled his face towards his own. Joey swallowed but before he could protest Kaiba overtook his mouth. Joey closed his eyes and could taste the savage, yet suprisingly sweet taste of Kaiba's lips.

Kaiba was being driven by a passion and the love he knew he felt for the man he was now tasting. Wanting more he gently bite Joey's bottom lip. Surprised Joey pulled back; Kaiba did the same, afraid he had asked too much of Joey. He looked at Joey and saw nothing but the need for more as well.

"I- I don't understand this," said Joey, panting. He lowered his head and placed his hands on Kaiba's chest.

Kaiba tilitled Joey's head up by the chin, "You don't have to," he whispered.

Quickly Joey kissed Kaiba, wrapping his arms around his neck. Kaiba almost fell over but was able to take a step backwards. He tilted his head so he could access Joey's mouth better. Willingly Joey let Kaiba's tongue penetrate and explore his mouth, while he in turn did his own exploring.

Kaiba stepped forward, pushing Joey into the door and leaning closer to him. Joey moaned, which made Kaiba's head whirl. He had never felt this way about anything before and he never wanted it to end.

He pulled apart from Joey, "Joey, I love you."

There he had said it. He tried to calm down his breathing, never taken his eyes from Joey's.

Joey smiled, "Kaiba, you must know. I-"

There was a knock at the door.

"Seto, are you busy?" said a small voice.

Kaiba smiled, of course Mokuba. He let go of Joey and Joey stepped to the side.

He opened the door and Mokuba looked up at him.

"What do you..." he cleared his voice, "want Mokuba?"

Joey came into view and much to his surpise Kaiba put his arm around him. Joey blushed.

Mokuba's eyes widened, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Obviously I was interupting something."

Kaiba nodded at his younger brother. "It's okay Mokuba, Wheeler here was just keeping me company."

Mokuba laughed nervously. "Great to hear that Seto, uh, I'm gonna go and.... "

"Uh, well, I should get going," grinned Joey, slowly escaping Kaiba's arm. He started to head down the hallway, but looked back at Kaiba, "Cya 'round Kaiba."

"See ya," and as Joey was just about to go down the stairs, he said, "come back soon Joey."

Joey blushed and promised he would.

"What was that about?" asked Mokuba.

"Nothing too much," a phone behind Kaiba rang.

"Looks like you have another business call, Seto" said Mokuba, sadly.

"Well, I do run a multi-dollar company," sighed Kaiba.

"I guess so," and Mokuba slumped away.

As Kaiba looked after Mokuba, and then back towards the study, he started to feel like he was about to do the wrong thing. Something in his heart changed, he was beginning to realize what was really important in this world. Sure, Joey hadn't said the same thing Kaiba did, but there was plenty of time for that. So that night Kaiba he did something he usually wouldn't do. He let the phone ring. Smiling to himself he rushed after Mokuba.

"Say Mokuba," he said as he caught up to the small boy, "What do you want to do this evening?"

Mokuba smiled. It felt good to have his brother back. Kaiba smiled back at him, it felt good to feel human once more.
