Seto WOULD have squealed but he still had his pride, even though Seto had come out of the closet when he first took over Kaiba corp. so he didn't care that he was leaning against a man, in fact Seto leaned further onto his helper pleasantly surprised when he wasn't pushed away and loving the feeling of warmth on his back. Unfortunately a cell phone rang out, it wasn't his so he wasn't surprised when his helper pushed him forward until he could slip out from behind him. The annoying phone still went off and seto cursed it for ruining his comfort. Seto heard a click that indicated the callwas received but before his helper could say anything a scream was heard over the phone.

"YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT! WHERE ARE YOU? BASTARD SON BETTER GET HOME NOW, YOU HEAR ME SLUT? I HAVE PEOPLE WAITING FOR YOUR ASS!"

And with that the line went dead, silence rained as the message sank in

"your not going back there are you?" seto asked.

A hum

"what!? Why?" Seto heard his helper cross the room and picked up his hand Seto waited patiently for the message

O…N…E…H…O…U…R…B…E…B…A…C…K…

And with that the helper left the room before Seto could say anything. Bile rose in his throat as he replayed what he heard oer and over again, how could anyone do that to someone as wonderful as his helper. Bitterly he waited the hour in darkness and worry. Soon he heard the door open again and heavy footsteps sounded. Too heavy to be Mokuba.

"Your late!" seyo said A hum sounded a little horse

"are you okay?" another hum

"come here" seto listened and though he tried to hide it his helper was obviously limping. Soon he felt pressure on his bed and without warning seto reached up to feel the extent of the damage, he softly, barely touching ran his hand over his face, cuts we all over and it felt like his eyes and lips were swollen, he slowly went down the neck and heard a small gasp

'bastards' Seto thought they tried to suffocate him

Setos hands trailed lower as he fought back bitter tears. He couldn't believe he was about to cry over someone else. The dam nearly broke when he felt something wet that smelled coppery on his chest then his helper put a cold hand over his sparing him from anything that might have been worse. The cold hand sent Seto over the egde. They took his warm hands from him!

"take a shower" was all Seto could manage, his voice small and fragile. A hum and then footsteps trailed away . when the water started Seto started to cry harder. He cried for what seemed like forever, but it was when his helper came back in smelling of his shampoo and dried his eyes. He then took his hand and wrote

M…E…D…I…C…I…N…E… with a shaky hand. As the bandages came off seto tried desperately to see his helper, maybe he could help him but all he could see was a blur of green and gold. Kaiba should have been happy to be able to see that much, his eyes were still healing after all. It would be about a week before the bandages could come off and even then he would need to wear shades and keep the lights low so he wouldn't over burden his eyes. The bandages were replaced before he could try to get another glimpse

"why?" he asked tears falling down his face gracefully. His helper didn't answer but gently dried his tears with the same care that had been shown to him all this time. That almost made Seto start crying again, who could harm this wonderful creature. Seto's mind was over burdened he couldn't take it anymore he slowly fell asleep in the warm arms that he had grown to love in such a short time. Listening to his helpers soft hum.
