Ouuuuu... *stars in her eyes* The reviews are so pretty... and look at `em all, I never expected over 15 reviews for this story ^_^ I'm so happy, so you guys get another chapter! With a blushing Seto Dragon! ^_^

=========

Jou yawned and looked at the clock, 9:30. He turned off the TV and looked at the others that occupied the couch. Usagi was napping on her back and Seto was curled up against his side, the little dragon's head resting on his lap. The blonde smiled and stroked the sleeping dragon's head.

Seto slowly awoke to someone petting him. He was still half sleeping so he wasn't sure what was happening, but he liked it. He yawned and the petting stopped, and he missed the warmth.

"Hey red eyes, Bed time"

Seto was awake now and he blinked many timed at the smiling blonde teen. He remembered he was a red eyes black dragon, in Joey's apartment, with a smart elect rabbit that thought he was a lizard.

`You woke me up to go to sleep?' The dragon asked and then saw he was practically lying on the blondes lap. He scooted away and felt his face burn. Could dragons blush? Yes, apparently so.

Joey stood up and nudged Usagi, who had a sleep bubble coming out of her nose. The bubble popped and the rabbit looked up

`What...' she whined `I was havin a good dream. Duke and Tris went out on a date, with sugar!' Seto sweat dropped

`You are very, very strange' he said

`So I've been told' she said `But I still don't get why'

Seto sweat dropped again `Now I know why rabbits are prey animals' he said `You annoy the predators so bad that it makes them WANT to kill you' Usagi blinked

`What's that suppose to mean?' she asked and the dragon shook his head before dropping down to the floor

`It means you have a big mouth' he said

`Hey!' Usagi said and hopped after him `That's not very nice!' Seto ignored her and they both followed Jou into his room. Usagi hopped over to a cage on one side of the room and hopped in, diving into a pile of hay. Jou flopped on his bed and let out another yawn as he stretched.

"Well, g'night guys" the blonde said and flipped out the light on his night stand. Usagi rolled onto her side in her cage and snuggled into her nice warm hay. Seto though curled up in a ball on the floor, refusing to go by either of them, though he was still very cold and couldn't stop shivering.

Joey lied in bed, waiting for sleep to over come him, but got this nagging feeling that it wasn't the only one trying to sleep. He rolled onto his side, his elbow supporting him and looked to see some thing shaking in the darkness. He smiled sadly and shook his head

`Stubborn dragon' he thought "Hey, Red Eyes" he said and ruby eyes opened "Come `ere" he motioned for his guest to the bed. The dragon just looked at him for a minute before he got up and his claws clicked on the wood floor as he walked hesitantly over. Joey moved over on the bed and patted the spot that he had just been laying on. "You don't have to be cold all night" The dragon narrowed his eyes and snorted. Joey rolled his eyes and shrugged "Fine, I don't blame ya. Being scared of me and all" Kaiba narrowed his eyes dangerously but Jou didn't notice "But I won't hurt ya..." Joey felt 10 more pounds jump onto the warm spot and grinned as the dragon curled up on the bed

`Hehe, the dragons got a hot head' the blonde mused and lay down with the little ball of scales. Kaiba watched the teen warily, he was much warmer now. He couldn't decide at the moment if being cold blooded was a down fall or not; he was so comfortable in the blonde's bed...

`Well that didn't sound right' Seto said and glared at the pillow `It's just the cold blooded thing...'

Joey watched as the dragon glared at his pillow then he looked as if he was confused, then glared again. He blinked

`Strange' he thought and was curious to feel the dragon's scales. He gently ran a finger down the warm black scales. Seto shivered at the touch, going stiff, then turned sharply to glare and hiss at the blonde, who moved back in slight surprise.

"Hey, whoa, sorry, just curious" Jou said as he put his hands up in defense. Seto snorted

`Look with your eyes, not your hands' the dragon thought but then realized that that didn't sound right either.

"Alright, alright, no touching" the blonde said and rolled over so he was facing the other way, his back to the black dragon. Seto curled up again, but felt less warmth since the teen had turned away. He scooted over so he was up against the teen's back and sighed in contentment from the body heat. Joey felt the dragon cuddle up to his back and smiled also as he fell asleep too

=========

Seto blinked his ruby red eyes open in the morning, feeling like he was wrapped up in a nice warm blanket. He wiggled in the embrace and knew that it wasn't a blanket. A warm human arm was wrapped around his middle and he was pressed into a chest. He didn't move for a minute, a full minute, just to bask in the warmth of Joey's arms. Then he looked up into the blonde's sleeping face. It looked so peaceful and soft, instead of the mean hard look he always saw when he looked at the blonde.

`Awww...'

Seto looked around to see Usagi giving them a sly grin

`You two are sooooo sweeeet'

Kaiba growled

`When I get my claws on you...' Seto threatened

`Relax lizard boy' the rabbit said whilst rolling her blue eyes `I didn't do anything. Besides, you woke `im up' Seto felt the arm loosen around his middle

"Woops" the blonde said and rubbed the back of his head "Sorry about that Red Eyes"

`He gets clingy in bed' Usagi added and hoped onto the bed to her owner, getting a pat from the teen

"Well, guess I should make breakfast" Jou said and rolled out of bed. Usagi followed immediately and Seto followed a little later, hesitant to get out of the warm bed, but he realized how hungry he really was, the hot dogs weren't much, so he followed too. When he walked into the kitchen he saw Joey was digging around in the fridge, leaning over so that Seto got a nice view of his rear and was at the same time trying to stop Usagi from getting into the fridge. Kaiba had to look away, feeling heat in his cheeks.

Joey finally gave Usagi a carrot so that she would get out from under foot and got out some eggs, bacon, bead, butter and other food items. He set it all on the table, and then spotted Kaiba in the kitchen doorway.

"Now what do dragons eat?" he asked out loud and rubbed his chin thoughtfully

`Food you idiot' Kaiba thought impatiently, he was hungry. `Feed me!'

"I guess you'd like some bacon, right?" the blonde said more to him self than the dragon. Seto nodded and climbed into a chair. Jou started breakfast and the dragon watched him; he flipped on a small radio that was in the kitchen and moved to the music and sang along if he knew the words to the song. Seto watched and was amazed at how well the blonde was so care free. Seto never had time to be free, he had a company to run, balancing 6 days of work each week, school, and spending time with his brother, he just never had time.

Jou finished cooking and turned of the stove, putting the bacon on a plate and his own breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast on a plate. He put his plate on the table and looked to the little dragon, wondering if he should telling him to eat on the floor

"So... Floor or table?" he asked and the dragon glared at him, like it was a stupid question "What? Stop glaring or it's the floor" Seto looked away; he didn't want to eat on the floor "Sheesh, never even seen a dragon before and it's like ya hate me" He set the bacon down in front of the red eyes and sat down for his own meal.

Seto felt a little pang of guilt. He didn't `hate' the blonde... But he was just so cocky and arrogant some times, like he was better than the CEO, or even just as good... which he wasn't, the dragon reminded him self `He's just another inferior idiot...'

"Hey" Jou's voice broke through his thoughts "You gonna eat that?" His hand reached out to snatch a piece of bacon, but Seto hissed and snatched a piece for him self. Joey pulled back at the hiss.

"Hey, don't bite the hand that feeds ya!" the blonde said and mumbled under his breath "greedy lil bugger..."

`I'm not greedy' Seto said as he continued to eat `Just hungry'
