I Could Learn

Bakura entered the Study and warmed his hands by the blazing fire. Seto looked up from his paperwork.

“How is Ryou?”

“Sleeping. Pathetic.”

Seto folded his hands on the desk. “Haven’t you learned anything from this whole situation, Bakura?”

Bakura rolled his eyes. “Hmm..let me think…thinking…thinking…thinking….NO!”

Joey folded the book he was reading. “Bakura, Ryou……loves you.”

Bakura collapsed on the Oriental carpet laughing and holding his sides. “Ryou? He loves me? That’s a good one, Wheeler! You’re a frigging riot!”

Joey narrowed his eyes. “He does, Bakura. One of these days, you’re going to find that out.”

Bakura regained his stance. “Let’s get this straight, Puppy-Boy. I do NOT love Ryou! Ryou is my property! My other half! He’s nothing but my puppet.”

“Are you sure of that?” Seto asked.

Bakura slowly advanced on the CEO and leaned over the desk, staring into his face.

“What are you looking at, Bakura?”

“I’m trying to find the psychologist diploma on your forehead, moneybags! Ryou will never be anything more to me than he is now….my….obedient….sex slave.”

Seto clenched his teeth and his fists at the spirit.
”I know you want to screw his brains out, too, Seto. I’ve always known you’ve always wanted to sleep with my Light. Well…now is your chance. Go on. Of course, I will have to charge you rent for his body by the hour. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve rented his body out for a friend’s pleasure. Just ask Marik….a satisfied customer.”

Seto’s body began to shake with suppressed rage. “You’re going to regret doing that to him, Bakura.”

Bakura pulled out his wallet and revealed hundreds of dollars. “I doubt it.”

“I don’t consider you my friend either, Bakura.”

Bakura pouted. “Aww…you don’t? Too bad.”

“I want Ryou to stay here tonight. I don’t give a flying hell what you do.”

Bakura smirked. “I’m not leaving my Light!”

“Fine! I’m tired! I’m going to bed!” Seto stood up and walked towards the door.

“Hey, moneybags!”

Seto turned around.

“If you change your mind, just come into Ryou’s room and we’ll discuss the ‘Terms and Conditions of Rent.’”

Seto narrowed his eyes. “Hey, Bakura. Let me see your finger.”

Bakura lifted his pointing finger. “Why?”

“Now, take that finger and go fuck yourself.”

Seto left Bakura with the spirit’s mouth opened wide.

Joey reshelved his book. “Bakura, I know Ryou loves you very much.”

“I can’t believe Seto Kaiba had the audacity to tell that to me! Who the hell does he think he is?!”

Joey put a hand on the spirit’s shoulder. “Some day, Bakura….you and Ryou will settle your differences.”

Bakura growled. “Maybe, but not today, mutt.” The spirit left the room with a snarl.

************************

Seto sat by Ryou sleeping in the bed. His white hair spread across his pillow as he laid on his back. His one arm laid beside him while his other rest on his stomach.

Seto stroked Ryou’s cheek. “I’m sorry you have to live with him, Ryou. I’m sorry from the depths of my heart, angel.”

The boy continued to sleep, his breathing slow and shallow.

“I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me, Ryou. Joey is my life. He is what I need.” Seto took Ryou’s limp hand and lifted it to his lips. “Before you came into my life, Ryou, I always had to pretend to be someone I’m not.” Seto wiped a tear away, ignorant of the door to the room opening slowly.

“My heart doesn’t belong to me anymore, Ryou. My heart belongs to Joey. But, Ryou, you will always be a special part of my life, even with Joey by my side. I don’t want to give you up, angel.”

“You don’t have to,” Joey said as he advanced on Seto and the sleeping boy in the bed. “I don’t want you to give up what you feel for him, Seto.”

Seto turned around as Joey stood between his spread legs. “You…..you don’t want me to? Why?”

Joey took the CEO’s shoulders and pulled him close to his body. “I don’t want you to pretend your feelings for Ryou don’t exist. If you pretend it doesn’t exist, it’s like me pretending that I’ll never have a problem with alcohol for the rest of my life. I can’t promise that. Ryou is a big part of your life…just like alcohol was to mine. I can’t pretend my alcohol problems didn’t exist… and that they were not my fault.”

Seto looked up into the brown eyes. “But, they weren’t your fault.”

“I should have been able to control it, Seto, but I wasn’t. I’m always going to have a problem resisting the urge to drown myself in the bottle. If I pretend my problems don’t exist, it’s like lying to myself…and I can’t do that.”

Seto sighed and rubbed his tears away with Joey’s shirt. “You honestly have no problem with my feelings….my love…for Ryou?”

Joey smiled and shook his head. “Whenever you want him over, just let me know and I’ll fix up the spare bedroom for myself for that night. It won’t be a big deal.”

Seto closed his eyes and planted a kiss on Joey’s belly. He turned around and kissed Ryou’s hand. “Goodnight, my angel.”

The CEO stood up and took Joey’s hand.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay with him tonight?” Joey asked.

Seto looked into the brown eyes, sparkling in the moonlight. “No. Tonight, I want to be with you, love. I need you, baby.”

Joey saw more than a request in those eyes. He saw a plea. A plea for love. A plea for compassion.

*******************************

Joey and Seto washed up for bed. Joey left the light on by the bed and watched his naked lover step out of the bathroom. Joey’s eyes scanned the other naked boy slowly as he slipped under the sheets.

Seto gathered Joey to his chest and ran his fingers through the golden strands.

“I love you, Joey.”

Joey’s POV

I smiled as my hand caressed Seto’s chest and abdomen. His skin feels so warm and soft against my cheek. His skin warmed under my caress. His body is so perfect….so beautiful. I missed touching him like this.

“I love you, too, Seto. I want to thank you for helping me with everything.”

Seto leaned down and kissed my lips gently. My body already started to react to his kiss, the scent of his cologne, the heat of his skin. His tongue slowly gained entrance between my lips. My own tongue explored him as I tasted him. My hand rubbed his lower belly, playing with the first patch of black curls that surrounded his member.

How did I come to deserve someone so beautiful after all I’ve done in my life? How did I come to deserve someone who loves me? Why? What mystical force brought him into my life?

Seto’s fingers traced the line of my jaw and slipped down to my shoulders. They trickled down and caressed my chest lovingly.

My wandering hand slipped below the base of his sex, cupping him in my hand. Rough hair and weeping flesh filled my hand. My beautiful lover.

Seto pulled back from me. “You don’t need to thank me, Joey. You never need to thank me. I just…I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I need you, Joey. I need you to stay with Mokuba and I. We’ll be one happy family.” Seto bit his lip. “We will be the family we never had. All three of us will be the happy family we never experienced.”

I snickered. “Okay, but I’m not filling in for the ‘mother’ role.”

Seto rolled his eyes. “You love ruining tender moments, don’t you, Wheeler?”

I brushed my fingers through Seto’s brown hair. “I had to say something.”

Seto’s eyes slowly closed as I started kneading him in my hand softly. His head moved back and I took the opportunity to lean over and begin sucking on his warm skin.

“My Joey,” he whispered.

My hand went to his length and I stroked him rhythmically. My lover moaned and clutched onto me tightly.

“It’s okay, baby. It’s only me,” I said in his ear quietly.

If I had Gozuboro here….and another window….I would shove him out of the window again for hurting Seto the way he did.

Now I had to focus my energies on keeping Seto with me.

“I know it’s you, Joey,” he managed to say through clenched teeth.

“Joey, can…can I touch you? Please?”
I shifted back slightly so Seto could face me. He shifted closer to me and we touched each other while kissing.

It wouldn’t be long before he was shifting into my hands, desperate for some contact.

His body started to weep more in my hands.

I closed my eyes and moaned Seto’s name as he stroked me. My body started to tremble with the anticipation of making love to Seto.

Wait…making love? Where are the toys? The cock ring? The whip? The vibrator?

Hmm…well, maybe I can try to make love tonight without them.

I can try, can’t I?

That’s all you can ask of me, isn’t it?

That I try.

I’ll try, reader. It won’t be easy. It never will be easy.

Sex will never be easy.

Making love will never be easy.

But, I can try.

I struggled to open my eyes and look through the fog of erotic desire towards my lover. I gently pushed Seto on his back and crawled on top of him.

The usual jolt of horror spread through Seto and then his body relaxed.

I leaned over, stroking his face. “Seto? Are you okay?”

Seto nodded. “Yeah. Fine.”

He reached up and brought me in for a deep kiss. My hands caressed his chest and shoulders again, familiarizing myself with his body once more. I think we both needed this. I needed to know I was with Seto. Seto needed to know he was with me.

Seto’s hands gripped my shoulders lightly and rubbed down my back until he grabbed my backside and I gave a little jump. I just wasn’t expecting something like that.

I reached over and grabbed a bottle of lube from the side drawer.

I pulled back. “When I went shopping again, I bought new stuff we could use.”

Seto looked at it and smirked. “Strawberry Oil?”

I shrugged and grinned. I flipped open the cap and poured some on his fingers. “Take a taste.”

Seto licked the tip of the finger suggestively. “Very good.”

I shifted forwards a little and poured some on my hands. I reached behind me and began stroking Seto with the oil. He took his hand and continued stroking me with his oil-covered fingers.

My body quivered as he touched me. This is all I’ve ever wanted. I took Seto’s fingers and started sucking on one of them. It tasted like strawberries, with a touch of my own taste on it from my weeping arousal.

Seto soon shifted below me, writhing and moaning. Seto took the strawberry oil and removed his finger from my mouth. He covered it with the oil and reached around me.

A moan escaped me and my senses fogged as I felt his slippery finger squeeze into my body slowly. My body gave a shudder at prior memories that have never died. Maybe they never will. But this is Seto. Not my asshole of a father.

I could feel him inside me, burying his digit inside of me as painlessly as he possibly could.

“I’m sorry, Joey, if I hurt you.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Seto slipped another finger into me and I shifted back to bring him into me deeper. His fingertips brushed against my prostate and I moaned loudly.

I hope Ryou didn’t hear that.

A devilish little grin crossed Seto’s face as he pulled back a little. “My Puppy likes that?”

“Do it again…please?”

Seto grinned. He has NO idea of the torture he is putting me through! He purposefully moved further out of my body to listen to me whimper.

“Please, Seto….I need it.”

I felt a drop of sweat slip down my spine at the glorious torture my lover was putting me through.

Seto moved his fingers completely into me again and I rocked back into them. I shifted back further each time, passion and lust surrounding me with a sweet strawberry vapor.

I almost screamed as he wiggled his fingers inside of me. It was quickly becoming too much.

Seto withdrew his fingers and I moved back, impaling myself on his slicked, weeping length.

Seto grabbed my hips and looked up at me through half-closed eyes glazed over with desire.

I remained still, feeling him throb inside me. He guided me as I rocked back and forth on him. He spread his legs a little, allowing us both some more support for our lovemaking.

I rode my lover slowly at first, letting him adjust to me on top of him. I had to give him time to do this. My slow motions on my lover made me covered in sweat. Sweat collected on my body and fell, the crystal beads forming and falling. Seto’s forehead glistened in the lamp light, diamonds of sweat slowly trickled from his hairline.

Seto’s hands left my hips and roamed around my body, touching me.

“Joey…so beautiful…”

I could feel a familiar knot become tighter. We both voiced our pleasure with loud moans. I reached down and let my hands drift over my own need.

“Come for me, baby,” Seto pleaded with me.

It was hard to understand why I was becoming aroused without using my new toys.

It felt good to not use the toys. I guess I could learn to make love to Seto without the toys.

I could learn how to do that. It might take months…even years, but I know I could do it.

I gave one final scream as Seto made one final collision into me. I threw my head back and I climaxed over Seto’s stomach and chest. Seto screamed with me, releasing his heat into my body at the same time. I fell forwards onto his chest, both of us sobbing. I heard him cry into my blond hair. I cried into his chest.

It was then that we came to the realization that we needed each other. Not only did we understand each other’s insecurities, we were there for mutual support and encouragement.

“My puppy….love you so much.”

“Never leave me, Seto.”

“I never will.”

We held each other all night long. I thought about making love to him tonight. I climaxed without using the toys.

I guess I could learn to make love to Seto without the toys.

I could learn to trust him……

I could learn to love him……

I could learn.

Can’t I?
