RECAP

~Yup, Admission of three parties into the Cecelia ball for the rarely diseased, Seth thought looking at his brother he asked “Do we go?”~

STORY START

“Are you gonna go?” Joey asked looking over at Yugi who looked very tired and the spiky haired boy nodded as he yawned “Yah, Gramps said I could, I even get to make a donation, though it won't be as big as some of the others going, I bet they'll all be major big wigs.”

“Yah, I wounder if Kaiba got an invite,” Joey said then frowned trying to envision moneybags at a party, drinking, seducing some lucky woman. Shaking the image from his head he looked back at the smaller boy who looked wounded.

“Hay, what's wrong?” he asked grabbing the boys shoulders and he looked up and said “I don't think we should call him that anymore, it…it hurts him.”

“How?” Joey asked though he felt he had a fair idea.

“Don't…you don't want to know, Seth's with him now,” Yugi said shaking his head, “Just don't call him that, and it would be cool, and maybe he could talk to Pegasus and score an invite for his brother!” he said his eyes shining at the idea.

“You really like the guy,” Joey said, he knew his little buddy was gay and his little buddy knew he swung that way too, Tristan knew, he didn't really like it, but he said he was cool as long as he never, ever under any circumstances told him…any of it.

“Yeah, I do,” Yugi said flushing, “I do, and I think that maybe…he just might…you know,” he said making funny little shoulder movements.

“Oh,” Joey grinned, “Whose going to make the first move you or him? The duellist or the gypsy?” he joked as the door bell jingled and Seth's voice came, highly irritated.

“You can't just dismiss it like that! Damn it Seto, this could be doing some major psychological damage!” Seth said.

“I can and I shale,” Seto's voice icy and thankfully normal to Yugi's ears and he slumped into his stool with relief.

“What about Mokuba? Have you ever thought of what he feels when you-“ he was cut off when Mokuba said his voice sharp “I don't need for you to use me as a scapegoat! That happens enough as it is!”

Seth made a grumbling sound as he moved forward up the stairs and opened the door, stomping through the lounge, ruffled Yugis' hair and marched straight into his room, slamming the door in a huff.

Before Joey could ask Seto snapped his voice frozen though there was an underlaying of panic in it “Don't even ask,”

“Okay, moneybags,”

“Shove it mutt,”

“Don't start you two!” Mokuba said glaring at the two older boys and they looked at him, cast dirty looks at each other and then looked away, Seto to the ground as he leaned against the wall, Joey at Yugi who just shook his head.

Half an hour past before Seth came out, wearing a set of clean cloths, his hair slightly damp as he trudged into the room and Seto said as soon as his twin looked at him “Don't,” his eyes hard and the pail golden skinned man sighed.

“Hay K…Seto did you get an invite to Pegasus's ball?” Yugi asked changing the non subject before the twins could start arguing.

“Yeah we did!” Mokuba said jumping on the band wagon instantly “Peggy sent us three! So me and Seth get to go too! Are you guys going?” he asked as he jumped onto the couch which made a funny groan.

“Yep, we can go as a group, right Seth? Seto?” Yugi asked and the twins exchanged a glance before they nodded and Mokuba clapped his hands with glee.

“YAY!”

An hour before the Ball, (six days later)

Tugging at his tux lapels Joey frowned as he looked in the mirror at the Kaiba mansion, why he was there beyond him, hell the brothers had even gotten him his digs, because when Seth had said it was black tie. And that he didn't have a tux, had never owned one after Seto and Mokuba had explained what one was Joey had shrugged and said to the guy, `s'all good, we can both go with out!' The Kaiba's had been appalled and Mokuba had said you don't show up to a black tie without a tux, that it was a big, huge, mega no-no and that they would get them both tux's since they both had to go get knew ones.

Seto's too big and Mokuba's too small.

They'd then bought Yugi a new one, just so he could be all shinny and new too, even though he'd told them not to Mokuba wouldn't hear of it and if there was one thing Joey had learnt over the last week it was that Seto hardly ever said no to his little brother.

And then Seto had said he wasn't about to let the money go to waste and that the very expensive suits would be kept safe at his mansion, no arguments allowed.

His shirt silk and the tux some sort of soft material that made him want to run his hands on it, just for the feel, his new black shoes shinny and he wondered briefly how long they would stay that way when there was a sharp knock on the door.

“You're beautiful enough Joey, come on, Seto's getting antsy,” Seth said and as he made his way to the door he wondered how he was able to tell the difference between Seto and Seth's voices when they were identical.

Opening the door Joey paused and then whistled low as he took in the Egyptian decked out in all black, even his shirt the dark colour though his tie was white.

“Looken very sharp,” he said with a grin as the man bowed low and said “Whoa who are you and where did Wheeler go?” as he looked around the room behind the blond.

Laughing he rolled his eyes and turned on his heals calling over his shoulder “Come on lassie, Seto waits for no gypsy!”

The sight of the CEO made Joey pause and swallow as the man talked with Yugi, who looked spiffy in his little suit, though his like Joeys was the basic black over white tux while Seto's was all white. The man seemed to glow under the lights of the lobby as Mokuba grinned at his side, like Joey and Yugi in the basic black and white.

“Joey! Seth! Come on!” he shouted and Seto turned, blue eyes approving the blond who noticed the black tie and couldn't help the smirk that tweaked his lips up.

Seth and Seto were direct opposites, Yin and Yang.

Black and white with a little of the other in both.

“Lets go,” the CEO said turning to the doors and Joey deflated until Mokuba murmured “I've never seen him…approve someone like that,” and Seth grunted as he clapped then squeezed the blonds shoulder before following his twin.

“Come on, Joey before our ride decides to leave with out us!” Yugi said and they rushed after the three brothers.
