Chapter 08: Feeling Good

As the group walked back to the Game Shop after a long dinner, Kaiba and Yami hung back a bit to talk.

"I knew everyone would be happy to participate in your idea," Yami told Kaiba, the subject of running a summer camp for the orphans having been addressed over dinner.

Putting his hands in his jacket pockets, Kaiba said, "I had no doubts otherwise."

"I know I'm excited to help," Yami continued, looking forward to what was sure to be a rewarding experience. "I still think it's a really amazing thing to do."

"I'm not as terrible of a person as some make me out to be," Kaiba pointed out, knowing his reputation.

Hurriedly clarifying, "That's not what I meant," Yami felt bad for misphrasing what he was trying to say. "Trust me, I of all people know what kind of a person you are."

Sensing Yami's distress, Kaiba tried to alleviate it by saying, "But the facts are facts. I'm an asshole most of the time."

"I don't believe that," Yami disagreed. "I think that's what you want people to believe, but that's not who you really are."

Arching an eyebrow at the assertion, Kaiba asked in a facetious voice, "So you're saying I'm just a misunderstood soul?"

Laughing at that, Yami said, "I'm not saying that, either. I just know there's more to you than just being a bastard."

Letting the topic go, Kaiba decided to switch gears and ask, "So what are your plans for the rest of the evening?"

Yami knew what that invitation translated to and he hesitantly added, "Aren't we moving kind of fast?"

"You can't blame me for being a little eager," Kaiba teased, although there was truth in the statement. "However, whatever you're comfortable with is fine by me. I am by no means trying to rush you into anything."

"Which I appreciate," Yami said. "I don't know, I'll think about it."

"Then that is all I can ask," Kaiba replied, knowing he'd have to be content with that.

The truth was that Yami wanted to take up the invitation. He felt like he was going out of his mind with lust at times and he knew being with Kaiba would help alleviate that feeling. However, the other part of his mind pointed out that it probably wasn't prudent to because with Kaiba so soon after agreeing to date him. So how long was he supposed to wait? Yami didn't know the answer to that. Was there really a difference in waiting a week?

As Yami continued mulling it over, the two battled amicably about a number of things as they continued talking. It was enough to pass the time until they returned to the Game Shop. Sadly, Yami was no closer to a decision.

Before they reached the living room, Mokuba went over to his older brother and asked, "Can we talk?"

"Sure," Kaiba conceded and allowed himself to be led to the kitchen.

"Is it okay if I spend the night here?" Mokuba asked in a hopeful tone. "Yuugi invited me to stay."

Smiling kindly at his younger brother, Kaiba told him, "You know I don't have a problem with that."

Hugging his brother tightly, Mokuba exclaimed, "You're the best, nii-sama!"

Ruffling his hair fondly, Kaiba watched as Mokuba scampered over to tell his friends the good news. Now if only he could get Yami to agree to come home with him, the night would be perfect.

Meanwhile Yami had taken Yuugi into another room and told him his dilemma. It led Yuugi to counsel him, "Go do what you want. Nobody is judging you."

"I just don't know," Yami sighed, torn between what he should do and what he wanted.

About that time, Mokuba came around the corner and spotted them. "There you are!" Mokuba happily exclaimed. "Nii-sama said I could say!"

"That's great!" Yuugi told him, even though he had no doubts that Kaiba would let Mokuba stay the night. "We'll be right out in a minute."

"Okay," Mokuba replied, leaving the two in privacy once more.

Looking at Yami for an explanation, Yuugi said with a mischievous grin, "I may have invited Mokuba to spend the night so that Kaiba would have an empty house."

"You did what?" Yami demanded, careful to keep his voice low enough not to be heard by their other friends.

"I figured you and Kaiba-kun would want your privacy," Yuugi teased, causing Yami to blush.

It flustered Yami to think about and he asked, "You knew he was going to invite me over?"

"I assumed," Yuugi confirmed with a shrug. "I didn't think you'd struggle so much with the decision. It's pretty obvious what you want."

With Mokuba no longer in the picture, the idea of being alone with Kaiba became a lot harder to resist. "He's going to think I'm easy," Yami complained, knowing it looked bad.

"I sincerely doubt that," Yuugi told him. "But if you're worried, talk it over with him."

"That's what you always say," Yami complained.

"And aren't I usually right?" Yuugi pointed out with a smile.

Scowling in response, Yami asked, "Isn't everyone going to think it's weird I'm not here?"

"They've got to find out some time," Yuugi said with a laugh, wondering how his friends would react. "Stop trying to make excuses. But seriously, we should probably get back to them."

"Yeah," Yami agreed before following him out of the room into the living room.

Sitting on the couch, Yami's eyes searched out Kaiba instinctively. He knew if he didn't go he'd be in for a long night of what if's and that really wasn't any better. Kaiba felt his gaze and Yami felt as if his heart skipped a beat. It was silly to pretend that he didn't want to be with Kaiba when he did. And now that he didn't have to worry about Mokuba being present, it made it that much harder to resist.

Kaiba stayed for another half hour as the friends continued talking and playing video games, but he had finally had enough. Standing up, Kaiba announced, "I'm going now."

As everyone started to say their goodbyes, Yami realized he had to act. Standing up, Yami walked over to Kaiba and it caused Jounouchi to joke, "What, are you walking the Prince to his car?"

"Actually, I'm going with him," Yami replied, causing Jounouchi to howl with laughter.

"That's a good one!" Jounouchi exclaimed with a laugh.

Not sure how to take his friend's reaction, Yami insisted, "I'm serious, Jounouchi-kun."

"Wait, really?" Jounouchi asked, his laughter dying down finally. "Why?"

"Because we're dating now," Yami informed them, bracing for the reaction he might receive.

"Whoa, whoa, wait, what?" Jounouchi asked as he tried to understand. "You're seriously dating this guy? The Kaiba Seto?"

Nodding, Yami confirmed, "Yeah," and watched as his friend continued to stutter fragments of words in shock.

"That's great, nii-sama!" Mokuba congratulated him, knowing how long his brother had liked Yami. "I'm really happy for you both."

It was a relief to Yami to hear Mokuba supported the decision, but then again, Kaiba probably wouldn't have acted if he had known his younger brother opposed it. "Thanks," Yami said with a gentle smile at Mokuba.

Anzu, Honda, and Yuugi seconded their support, which Yami was also grateful for, even though Jounouchi was still trying to process the revelation. "You two, but he's—and you're—what?" Jounouchi continued protesting, still at a loss.

"This is probably going to take awhile," Yami warned Kaiba, having been witness to a similar reaction when Jounouchi found out that he was with Otogi.

"Do we have to wait for it?" Kaiba asked, not really interested in delaying his evening for Jounouchi's theatrics.

"Probably not," Yami decided, knowing Jounouchi would continue to flounder about it for some time whether they were there or not. "We'll see you guys later."

Yami led the way, leaving behind a very confused Jounouchi. It was quickly forgotten about as they approached the waiting limo and got inside of it.

"Well that went better than I expected," Yami commented as the limo began to drive.

"How much worse could it have been?" Kaiba asked as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"He could have hit you," Yami pointed out, knowing that his friend was prone to bouts of violence.

"Hn, I'd like to see him try," Kaiba arrogantly replied, knowing his fighting skills were far superior to the mutt's style of street fighting.

"He'll come around to the idea if we give him time," Yami predicted, knowing that despite his protests, he would eventually come around to the idea as he had with Otogi.

Kaiba knew that getting approval from his friends was as important to Yami as support from his younger brother was for himself. Kaiba said nothing about it, instead he said, "I'm glad you decided to join me tonight."

"I don't want you to think I'm easy," Yami warned, not comfortable with Kaiba having such a low opinion of him.

"The thought never crossed my mind," Kaiba promised him before leaning over and kissing him reassuringly. "Not even once."

"Good," Yami stated, relieved to hear it.

"Besides," Kaiba continued, "why would I be upset that you want to be with me as much as I want to be with you?"

That was a better way of looking at the situation and Yami took the initiative and kissed Kaiba. Somehow he ended up on Kaiba's lap as kiss melted into kiss. Yami gasped when Kaiba groped his ass firmly and felt the start of arousal, especially when he remembering thinking earlier in the date about riding Kaiba in the backseat.

It was a saving grace when they arrived at the mansion and Kaiba led the way inside, heading straight for his room. There would be plenty of time for them to explore the house later.

Yami had almost expected their clothes to come off in a hurry, but Kaiba took his time stripping each other until they were completed naked. It felt glorious to be so close to him in such a state and Yami sighed in pleasure at finally getting to feel that way after so long. Kaiba ran his fingers along the curve of Yami's spine before using his ass to pull their bodies even closer. "Yami," Kaiba moaned low in his ear with great need before suckling on his earlobe.

It made Yami shiver and he wasn't surprised when he grew fully hard at that. He embraced Kaiba and reveled in the feeling of skin again skin, getting excited for what came next. He was quick to get on the bed with a mounting sense of anticipation and he wrapped his arms around Kaiba's neck with a sigh when he lay over top of him.

It was perfection for Kaiba and he took his time worshipping every inch of Yami's body, almost unable to believe it was finally happening. Yami was so responsive to his touch and Kaiba couldn't get enough of the sounds he was making.

He stopped only long enough to get the lube from his nightstand and prepped his fingers for entering Yami. He continued kissing and licking his way along Yami's body as he began working his fingers inside, positively aching to be buried in that warmth he had dreamt about for so long.

When Yami thought he couldn't take any more teasing, he pleaded in a breathy voice, "Please, Kaiba" even as his hips moved in rhythm with the fingers inside of him.

Not willing to deny Yami anything, Kaiba lined himself up and entered slowly. It was so much better than dreams and Kaiba felt in his glory with Yami embracing him so intimately. When Kaiba leaned forward for a kiss, his body automatically reacted to Yami tensing up by thrusting. It caused Yami to make the most erotic of noises and Kaiba knew he was lost forever in that moment.

Kaiba started off slow, learning the feel of Yami's body and driving him wild in the process. Yami moaned in satisfaction at finally feeling so whole once more and he arched up slightly as his entire body reacted to the feeling of being with Kaiba. He rested his hands on Kaiba's broad shoulders and moved as one with him, relieved when the pace increased.

It felt so good to be with the person Kaiba had always wanted. It was almost too perfect to be real, but Kaiba didn't let it stop him from enjoying everything to the fullest. Being with Yami as damn near divine and Kaiba moaned deeply in satisfaction.

When Kaiba shifted his angle slightly, Yami cried out loudly in surprise as it hit that spot that always made him come undone. It encouraged Kaiba to thrust that much more and Yami progressively got louder as he neared his end. Every time Yami called out, "Kaiba," he renewed his efforts, driven by an insatiable need for his rival.

Yami was surprised by how vocal Kaiba was. For some reason he had imagined Kaiba to be the silent type, but he was just as prone to moaning and swearing loudly like Yami was. To know that he could drive his rival to such lengths was incredible to Yami and he didn't bother holding back anything.

Kaiba could feel Yami tensing around him as he came closer to his end and it made him reach between them and take his rival's member in hand. Yami all but shouted, "Fuck," and it caused Kaiba to smirk. Knowing he was in total control of his rival's needs was a powerful feeling, but Kaiba refused to deny him anything. It caused Yami to cum quickly as he gasped Kaiba's name and the resulting feeling almost overwhelmed the brunette. He continued thrusting into Yami's willing body until he finally came with Yami's name on his lips. Only then did Kaiba's body start to relax as he pulled out and settled beside Yami.

Hesitating a moment before acting, Yami curled up next to Kaiba's side and rested his head on his shoulder while draping an arm across his chest. Yami was pleasantly surprised when Kaiba wrapped an arm around him and pulled him closer still. It caused him to sigh happily and he idly traced unseen patterns on Kaiba's chest with his fingers.

They said nothing at first, content just to enjoy the companionable silence between them. Finally Yami commented with a quiet laugh, "You know, if someone had told me a week ago that I'd be in this position, I wouldn't have believed them."

"And now?" Kaiba asked, although he wasn't surprised to hear such a thing since he was of a similar mindset.

"I couldn't imagine being anywhere else," Yami replied, finding it strange how quickly his viewpoint had shifted. "Is that weird?"

Kissing Yami's forehead, Kaiba said, "Nah," and left it at that. "Do you want to take a shower?"

As content as he was to remain in his comfortable position, Yami knew from experience that a shower was a good idea. "Yeah," Yami agreed as he moved to get out of bed.

Even though Kaiba told himself to behave, his hands sought out Yami and glided against slick, heated skin. Even just being able to touch Yami in such a way brought great pleasure to Kaiba.

"What are you doing?" Yami asked with a laugh.

"Helping you get clean," Kaiba replied with a smirk as he let his fingers dip between Yami's asscheeks and tease his entrance.

"That's really not helping," Yami groaned, still turned on by the action even though he wasn't capable of getting hard yet.

"Are you sure?" Kaiba teased as he started kissing the side of Yami's neck.

Although he meant his, "Yes," to come out strongly, the word was laced with want.

It made Kaiba chuckle and Yami said in exasperation, "It's not funny!"

"Oh, but it is," Kaiba disagreed, although he finally stood back so Yami could shower properly.

Although part of Yami mourned the loss, he took advantage of the distance and cleaned himself. Even though Kaiba was more than willing to stay in the shower with Yami until he was capable of being fully hard again, they soon returned to bed.

With Yami curled up at his side, Kaiba felt that all was right in his world at last. It made him hug Yami that much closer, surprising the former pharaoh. "You're more touchy-feely than I expected," Yami commented, "not that I'm complaining…"

"I'm finally allowed to touch you freely," Kaiba explained, "so of course I'm going to be. Naturally I'll restrain myself in public, but—"

Leaning up and interrupting Kaiba with a kiss, Yami reassured him, "It's fine. It makes me feel good."

"That's generally the point," Kaiba dryly pointed out, earning him a poke in the ribs as Yami lay back down again.

Yami was going to say something, but it was lost in a yawn. "Sleep," Kaiba told him, even though it was still early.

"Sorry," Yami sheepishly apologized, feeling bad.

"Don't be," Kaiba reassured him with another kiss on the forehead before turning off the light.

Yami snuggled closer to Kaiba and was soon asleep. Kaiba continued holding him, enjoying the feeling of being with the one he wanted.


A/N: And so concludes another story. It's pretty weird realizing I wrote the entire thing on 1.5"x2" post it notes and transcribed it all. That's dedication~.

I hope that we can meet again in my new story, Something More. It's going to be my first crossover Prideshipping story that takes place in the Ouran High School Host Club setting. Rest assured, it is a Prideshipping story first and foremost. The emphasis is completely on Kaiba and Yami's relationship and the Ouran characters are a very minor part of the story. You don't need to have seen Ouran to understand the story (although I would highly recommend it because it's a hysterical and awesome show). There are also no spoilers in the story for Ouran, so you can read it without worrying about that.

I am super proud of this new story and I can't wait to share it with everyone! I dare say it may be my favorite one I've done yet. It's going to be a very long story, but it is a lot of fun and I hope that you will all join me on that journey.

I will be posting the new story on Sunday, January 4th, because it seems fitting to start the new story in the new year. Thank you for your continual support, encouragement, and kind words. It's your wonderful reviews and friendships that help keep me going and make this such a rewarding experience. I hope you enjoy the new story even more!
