Dealing with Adulthood

Prologue.

True to Kaiba's words, he took full advantage of Joey all week….literally. Joey was not allowed to go home, not allowed to call or talk to his friends. He was only allowed out to go to school, then come home once again being forced back into the maid outfit. Joey was the first one Kaiba accepted having 'male' sex with, and any concerns about doing it in the past were now blown to the wind.

Mokuba had hid about as much as he could that week, avoiding wanting to see any of his brother's twisted fantasies about Joey.

Joey was literally Kaiba's plaything all week long, and was even forced to have pictures taken of him....many in very inappropriate poses. But he had a reason for that then merely for memorabilia. Now when the end of the week finally came, Kaiba made a new demand.

From the very beginning of accepting this deal, Joey had pleaded to Kaiba not to tell his friends about anything he had to wear or do, and Kaiba had no intention on wanting to simply let his new plaything go.

He not only planned on 'not' agreeing to that request, but also threatened he would send the provocative pictures of Joey on the internet and into the personal emails of all his friends. They would all see what he was dressed like all this time....unless Joey agreed to his new terms.

Kaiba's new demand was that every weekend Joey would still be his to do as he wanted. As humiliating as it was, Joey agreed as long as Kaiba promised never to show them those pictures. He would never be able to live it down, if his friends knew the truth.

It had become a game....a very twisted game that both would have in fact willingly done without the blackmail. But this way, it made them both feel that they weren't doing it out of personal interest....it was because of another underlying reason.

Joey only let Kaiba have his way because of the blackmail, not because he actually liked it or wanted this. Kaiba only did it to torture the puppy and humiliated him, not because he was actually getting off on it.

Ignorance was bliss, and just as strong as their denial. But atleast they were happy….for now.

END

One of the things I did in this fic that was different than any of my other J/K type fics is how I made Joey compliment Kaiba. I'm not sure if anyone caught it, but anytime in the story Kaiba did something where he might not have been seen as perfect in the public eye, Joey was quick to say or do something to either lower himself more or prop Kaiba up even higher. Like when Kaiba started to stare weird at him, he never had to worry about Joey making him feel awkward. When Martin jumped forward and practically announced that those two were going together, Joey said something to make it sound totally innocent in a sense protecting Kaiba's reputation. And it gets to the point that even Joey starts to finally realize what he's doing and not know why he's doing it….but he keeps doing it anyway.

But I felt this attitude Joey has compliments each other well. In a sense, it coincides with Kaiba's relationship with Mokuba. In the public eye, it's like Kaiba uses his own domination to hide Mokuba from being noticed. Then when the brothers are in a situation where Kaiba wouldn't be comfortable, Mokuba is always the eager one to jump in. They protect each other. And in this story, he and Joey seem to mesh that way as well. The only difference is Kaiba doesn't do much for protecting Joey, except maybe let him stay in his simple denial state. ;p

I didn't exactly end this one as 'they fall in love and live happily ever after'. The main reason is because this story is 'Dealing with Adulthood'. Kaiba was having sudden hormonal 'needs' and was out looking to take care of it. This story isn't about what possibly happens to them a year or two from now, or how their bond gets closer together….it's about them getting together. That doesn't mean 'happily ever after' can't happen…it just means this story isn't about that particular thing.

I hope you all enjoyed the story. It's been fun. (Hopefully) I'll see you all in the next fic!
