Walk Of Shame

Hey everyone! Look, I updated in less than a year! :D Seriously, I did want to thank everyone who read and reviwed this story. I didn't realize many people liked it as much as they did. It makes me feel so happy. :] This chapter is a bit shorter than the previous two so I apologize for that in advance. There is also no questionable content in it, so read away!

Tea rushed down the hallway of the large highschool. Her form was slumped and she refused to make eye contact with anyone. Was she now experiencing the walk of shame? Is that was this was? It really sucked, like badly. She stopped abruptly at her locker and turned the knob on her combination with lightening speed. Once the brunette pried the stubborn door open, she buried her head in the tiny space.

This was absolutely terrible. Not only had she done unspeakable things to Kaiba last night but that's all she was able to think about. Sleep was ruthlessly robbed from her by her own stupid thoughts. Instant regret. What a bitch. By the time she had drifted off it was the time she usually awoke to get ready for school. Luckily her father had woken her up at the last second. She quickly pulled on the pale blue uniform skirt and one of the baggy sweatshirts with the school logo printed obnoxiously large on the front of it. No makeup, hair in a messy bun. She looked awful and that was saying the least.

"Hey Tea! What's goin-" Serenity stopped short when she saw her best friend pull her head back out of the locker. "Ohhh...are you sick Tea?"

Yeah, sick with regret. The brunette shook her head. "Oh no, not sick. I just woke up really late. That stupid project for chemistry kept me up." Serenity raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah I had forgotten that you were going to Kaiba's house. How did that go?" She asked cautiously.

Tea quirked an eyebrow. "Oh you know, It went." Her answer was vague and for a moment she could swear she had seen something like suspicion glint in Serenity's eyes. Maybe it was just her imagination. Had she already mentioned that lack of sleep was a bitch?

Serenity sighed. "I hope it wasn't too bad. Kaiba seems like he could be a real slave-driver."

Yeah, in bed.

Just the thought made her shudder. "Nah, it wasn't so bad." She lied, it was terrible. Well, while it was happening it was kind of amazing but it was still awful. "We got a lot accomplished so tonight we'll probably be able to finish the assignment."

Seperately.

Serenity smiled warmly. "Awesome! I wish my partner had that much ambition. I went to her house last night and she spent the entire time talking to her boyfriend on the phone while simultaneously sending him facebook messages. Stalker much?"

Oh yes! The subject had changed! Tea openly embraced this new topic as she nodded her head vigorously. "Oh my gosh, don't you hate that? Sometimes I wonder about girls like that. Kind of pathetic." The brunette replied, slamming her locker shut.

The pair began making their way to their world history class. It was a relief to know that she wouldn't have to see Kaiba until this afternoon. Maybe she would be able to fake sick by then. Who knew? She just dreaded facing him again, especially in the same class as the person she truly wanted to be with. Stupid teenage hormones. Maybe she could join a convent? Nah, pretty sure that was out of the question now. Oh well.

Classes went by unfortunately and unusually quickly. Time flies when you're trying to avoid the guy that you kind of slept with last night.

She sighed as she slipped silently into her desk hoping that maybe Kaiba and Yami both decided to stay home sick today. She buried her face in her arms breathing a heavy sigh. Please don't come in, please don't come in. Please.

"Hey Tea. Are you feeling alright?" There was that voice, the one that she loved so much.

Dammit.

She contemplated not even looking up. She looked freaking terrible! And the lewd thoughts from last night were still floating around in her head. Ugh...

The young woman reluctantly raised her head, a sheepish expression on her face as her eyes met his. Lord was he beautiful. His crimson eyes kept perfect contact with hers. To be honest, she was surprised he hadn't looked away from her simply upon instinct. She literally looked like she had been hit by a car, or worse, maybe a bus.

Yami cocked his head to the side curiously. Man was that adorable. He just seemed so innocent.

"Are you sick Tea? If so I'm sure that the nurse would be willing to call your dad to come pick you up." He advised, taking his seat next to her. She shook her head in response.

"Oh no! I'm alright. The project took up a lot of time last night, that's all. I guess I just didn't get enough beauty sleep." She laughed.

Understatement.

The man smiled warmly at her. "I don't even know why you would need beauty sleep, you always look great." He offered.

Well how sweet was that? Just hearing those words made Tea want to jump up and dance around the classroom with joy. Granted, that would be super weird and what not, but still. Super happy.

She was rudely snapped from her thoughts by the tiny gasps and giggles everyone had gotten used to by now. What a mood killer.

Cerulean eyes turned to the direction of the classroom's entrance. In walked Kaiba, looking as smug as ever. Unlike Tea, he looked well-rested and emaculate. Even if he had come to school looking like he had lived on the streets for three years the girls would still swoon.

Seeing him made the brunette's stomach turn. She had no idea she would feel so freaking guilty and Yami at her side was definitely not helping.

Then it happened, they locked eyes. Oh shit. Ohshitohshitohshit. That was not what she wanted to to. Before she broke their mututal gaze she could have sworn she saw the slightest of smirks pull at his lips. Cocky bastard.

She turned back to face Yami, also something she didn't particularly want to do. His warm smile just made her feel even more guilt.

"So, did you get to work on your project last night?" Her plan was to just chat nonchalantly and pray that Kaiba would sit in the other side of the classroom while paying her no attention at all.

The young man shrugged his shoulders. "Kind of, my partner had soccer practice last night so I started to work on the paper a bit. I didn't want to do too much without her input though. It is a team effort anyways."

Lord, that smile. So adorable. And how thoughtful was that? Waiting for his partner to be able to put in her two cents. Could they seriously just hurry up and get married? She was in love.

Tea noticed when his eyes left hers and shifted slightly to her left. The young man's smile wavered a bit but didn't disappear completely. She had a bad feeling.

It was when she heard Yami speak that her breath hitched.

"Hey Kaiba, what's going on?" His voice was casual, the normal friendly tone he used with everyone. For whatever reason that pissed Tea off slightly. Sure, she was the one that had sucked Kaiba off the night before (shudder) but she was upset with him and wanted everyone around her to be upset with him as well.

Really? Was she really acting like she was three years old. Whatever.

"I'm fine thanks." He sounded like his usual cold, indifferent self. "Tea, I need to talk to you in the hallway."

His hand on her shoulder startled and repulsed her at the same time. Hell no was she going into the hallway with him! No way on earth. No freaking way.

"I'm sure it can wait until after school. Class is going to start in just a few minutes." She replied icily, not even turning to look at him.

"It's about the project and it's kind of important." He insisted, tightening his grip on her shoulder. Damn his persistency!

She opened her mouth to turn him down again when Yami's voice interrupted. "There's still about five minutes before class starts, you would have time." He interjected, pointing to the watch on his wrist.

And damn his need to be helpful. How the hell was she supposed to say no now? Without even turning around to look she knew that Kaiba was sporting that cocky smirk. She hated it.

Sighing in defeat she rose to her feet. Fine, if he wanted to talk about the project she would humor him but she wasn't going to have a conversation with him about the other events from last night. When the brunette turned to face Kaiba for the first time she rolled her eyes, not hiding the fact that she was very unamused. The smile on his lips grew.

"Let's go."

So I've gotten a couple mixed reviews on the threesome idea. I think I have a way to make both parties happy though so we'll see about that. Also, this story is a Seto/Tea story so dont worry to all the fans of this pairing. Thanks again for reading!
