Seto was relieved when he finally got home that night. After skipping his meeting with the principal, he'd headed for the office. Unfortunately, his work hadn't been able to distract him as well as it usually did. The brunet was a little worried about what had happened that day - his balloons were strictly for personal use, and he couldn't believe he'd been stupid enough to bring one to a public environment. Why had he done it in the first place? Was it because Pup hadn't been online the night before as he'd assumed? The email he'd received had been the only evidence that the other looner was back from his trip. Or maybe Seto had brought the balloon because he ~wanted~ to be noticed.

 

Seto quickly derailed that train of thought. He wasn't about to psychologically analyze himself and his unconscious mind. The id could stay buried for all he cared, so long as Mokuba and his company were safe from the consequences. This time though, Seto wasn't sure if he'd gone too far. If the media found out about his little hobby, there would be hell to pay, and his image would be ruined.

 

Seto wondered briefly if Wheeler had realized the severity of the situation he had witnessed, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Even if the mutt knew that Seto's entire life was in danger, the blond was too loyal and honest to tattle. But Joey didn't know, as Seto kept trying to convince himself. Surely the mutt didn't know the meaning of the balloon; surely he couldn't fathom the fact that something so innocent could be used in such a naughty way. Seto could hardly believe it himself sometimes. He would see it as a weakness, though loonerpup would always convince him otherwise. One of Pup's favourite sayings was, “if you like it, do it, `cause who can tell ya any different?” and Seto often found it hard to disagree with his online friend - especially when the other looner was in a certain mood.

 

On the topic of puppies, Seto's thoughts quickly turned back to a certain blond. Joey had seemed awfully aloof about the whole deal, and the brunet found that unsettling. Wanting to distract his mind from the long, tiring, and slightly embarrassing day, the CEO settled at his computer and signed on to his messenger system with his handle, CausticEbOny.

 

His heart skipped a few beats in anticipation as he realized that loonerpup was online again tonight. A small window on his screen opened and loonerpup began their conversation.

 

Loonerpup: Yo, Caustic. `sup?

 

CausticEbOny: Hello, Pup. I assume you had a safe trip?

 

Loonerpup: For sure. Everything went well and I had a blast (no pun intended). The convention was great, and I got to visit my little sister. It's too bad you couldn't make it.

 

CausticEbOny: Work keeps me busy. I don't take vacations very often.

 

Loonerpup: I know. It's too bad, though. I think you would have liked it.

 

Seto sighed as he read Pup's words. He knew he'd never be able to attend a looner convention, and it wasn't just because his work schedule kept him busy. He was extremely careful whenever he talked to people online never to reveal his true identity. He didn't tell anyone where he lived, where he worked, and obviously, he kept his name a strict secret. He just couldn't risk the slim possibility that there might be someone out there who would recognize his name. It was too dangerous.

 

Loonerpup was different, though. Seto didn't know if the other looner was hiding something himself, or if he just respected other people's privacy, but Pup had never once asked a personal question. Their chat sessions were strictly about balloons, with the rare comment on something that was bothering either one of them. Pup's reasons for his consideration remained evasive, but somehow Seto felt he could trust his online friend. The name loonerpup certainly suited him - he was a loyal companion, and Seto had to admit that Pup was awfully cute at times, much like a puppy.

 

In fact, he was a lot like another dog that Seto knew, but the brunet was ~not~ thinking about Joey Wheeler right now. There were just too many questions and uncertainties concerning the blond.

 

Loonerpup: Caustic? You with me?

 

Seto jerked himself out of his thoughts and turned his attention back to the computer.

 

CausticEbOny: I'm here.

 

Loonerpup: Is everything ok? You seem a little distracted tonight.

 

CausticEbOny: Everything's fine. I just have a bit of a boy problem, but it's nothing I can't handle.

 

Loonerpup: Oooooh....your other puppy again, eh? Maybe I should be jealous?

 

Seto snorted to himself. Alright, maybe there was one bit of his personal life that loonerpup knew about. It was a weird coincidence that Pup had been the first to refer to Joey with a dog reference, but the young executive hadn't questioned it. After all, Wheeler ~was~ a mutt. The blond was the only one who hadn't accepted that fact yet. Evidently, even Pup had realized Joey's dog-like tendencies, if only through Seto's descriptions of his classmate. The young businessman smiled slightly as he realized he was thinking about Joey when just moments earlier he'd tried to dismiss the blond from his mind. Apparently he was thinking with the brain between his legs tonight, and there wasn't much he could do about it.

 

CausticEbOny: Jealous? No, I don't think so. My puppy is special, but so is my Pup.

 

Loonerpup: Oh good. You had me worried for a moment.

 

Loonerpup: So, what did he do this time? You haven't got another black eye, have you?

 

CausticEbOny: No, no, nothing physical. And for the record, that's the only time he's gotten close enough to hurt me. Usually we don't resort to physical abuse. That time was an exception, though. I probably shouldn't have insulted his little group of friends so many times.

 

Loonerpup: Haha...well, I suppose you got what you deserved.

 

CausticEbOny: I'll admit to that.

 

Loonerpup: Well then, I guess you have things under control. But I still think you should tell him how you feel. Who knows, maybe he feels the same way?

 

CausticEbOny: I thought you were jealous of him, and here you are giving me advice on how to woo his heart?

 

Loonerpup: At least if he makes you happy, I won't have to listen to you grumble about him all the time.

 

CausticEbOny: Touché.

 

CausticEbOny: Well, I know you think I should talk to him, but the situation won't allow for it. It's just too complicated.

 

Loonerpup: If you say so. But if you're talking about the same Joey Wheeler I'm talking about, I'm pretty sure he's got the hots for you too.

 

Seto froze in his seat and for a moment, forgot how to breathe. He had never, ever mentioned Joey's name to Pup. After a few tense moments on both ends of the conversation, the brunet managed to move his fingers and keyed in his short response.

 

CausticEbOny: How...

 

OoO
