Thankfully, he had the day off. He did not think any part of him could handle working after last night. Even if he had slept until his fill, he was exhausted. He reached over and felt carelessly about his nightstand. He never kept anything important on it, just a clock, a lamp, and occasionally a set of keys. He knew he had found what he had been blindly searching for the moment he felt the buttons. He grabbed the clock and brought it to him. Seeing nothing but a blur of red, he rubbed his eyes. Finally, the blur of red started to make sense. 11:30 am were the numbers that stared back at him. "I've missed breakfast I see," he mumbled to no one but himself.

Yuugi was suddenly fully awake when he felt the sheets move. What had he done last night? He frantically thought through the entire evening. The party. Coming home. Being home. Shit! 'But, I was not that drunk,' he rationalized with himself. So what in the seven hells was someone doing in his room, in his bed? Someone was going to die. If not him killing Yami for taking advantage of him in a vulnerable state, then Seto killing himself for not being invited. He was certain of this.

Deciding a shower was best before gathering further details of last night, Yuugi sat up slowly. He realized at that moment that he was wearing pants. He never wore pants to bed. He let out a sigh of relief. 'Okay, so nothing happened other than kissing,' he told himself, and forced himself not to overreact. He touched his lips and could not help the smile. Then he frowned as he remembered that he had never told Yami he loved him. It was all one sided. Although Yami had not really given him much of a chance to say anything once they had started kissing. Unless you counted a kiss on the cheek from Anzu or Mai, he had never been kissed. Despite that fact, he was sure that this was THE kiss. The one to end them all. There would never be another kiss comparable to last night. In addition, with his luck it would be the only kiss he would ever get. Well, okay so he had to admit that it was not just one, but a couple. More like an entire make out session. He hoped to Rah he had not creamed his pants or passed out on Yami. Why was everything such a blur? He was certain he had not had that much to drink.

Conflicted he trudged forward towards the bathroom. Completely unaware that it was not just Yami in his bed but Seto as well. He closed the door and started to pull of his pants. He felt a bit better now knowing that he had not creamed himself last night at any point- awake or asleep. The pants were a wrinkled mess. 'So much for salvaging these pants for another use before they had to be dry-cleaned,' he thought to himself.


Yami had felt Yuugi stir but did not attempt to stop him or hold onto him. He had been in that state of half-asleep, half-awake for a while now. Desperate for body warmth he scooted back towards Seto. A bulge pressed directly into his backside. "Really now Seto you should have more self control," he teased.

Seto nuzzled his face into the crook of Yami's neck. "It's my day off and I should be getting laid right about now." To emphasize this he wrapped his arm around Yami to hold him place as he ground himself against the others back side.

Yami bit his lip to hold back the moan. He was still horny from last night and the last thing he wanted to do was turn Seto away. He cursed Seto for giving him that glass of bubbly and then talking to him about Yuugi. Talk about near conflicting topics. Screw your husband senseless or profess your love to your light. The latter had won in the end. "I think the last thing Yuugi wants to see when he gets out of the shower is the two of us going at it like dogs in heat."

"Think he'd flip if he saw us blowing each other?" Seto was seriously desperate at this point. He had, had too much to drink the previous evening. Drinking always made him horny. He was starting to wonder why he ever talked to Yami about Yuugi. If he had not he could be getting laid right now via one of the two hottest asses in the house. He knew deep down though that he had done the right thing.

"Yes."

"A hand job?"

"Get your mind out of the gutter!"

"He takes long showers."

"Kaiba Seto," Yami used his sternest voice, "give it up."

"I'd love to."

"Horny dog!" Yami sat up and smacked Seto with a pillow. "You wanted to sleep in here so deal with it!" He had not realized that he had raised his voice to the point where he could be heard in the bathroom.

"Quiet down," Seto laughed as he covered Yami's mouth.


All Yuugi could hear while in the shower was raised, muffled voices. He could not make a word out of what was being said. He knew he did not have a TV in his room, so he wondered if Yami had gotten up and turned the radio on, on the alarm clock to give himself something to do while he waited for him to get out of the shower. 'Why didn't I grab pants?' He mused to himself. He shrugged his shoulders. It had not bothered him early to strut around naked in front of Yami, or in a towel in front of Seto. After drying off, he wrapped one towel around his waist and another around his hair. He braced himself for some chilly air as he opened the door.

The moment they heard the bathroom door open both Yami and Seto dropped the pillows they had been using to smack each other senseless with. Both were red in the face and out of breath. Their expressions were that of a child who had just had their hand caught in the cookie jar.

'These two going at it with pillows,' Yuugi thought to himself. He would not openly admit it but he found this to be cute. Never had he imagined Seto as being the playfully type. However, he did remember though him mentioning previous that he liked to have fun as much as anyone else did. "Bit early in the day for a pillow fight, isn't it?" He smiled.

"Not when you are trying to defend yourself from some hor-," Yami caught himself, "hopeless romantic." Having made a good deal of progress last night, the last thing he wanted was for there to be eggshells all over the room again.

It was obvious that Seto was holding his breath, waiting for the lashing to come flying out of Yuugi's mouth.

"Seriously Yami grow up. Just say it. Seto's a horny dog." Yuugi did his best to keep a straight face. To add to the affect, he crossed his arms over his chest. "Why else would he be in my room at noon, half naked, and chasing your tail." You could tell that his seriousness was a put on. He was not thinking about why Seto had pajama bottoms on when it was so close to noon.

They both gave Yuugi a dumbfounded look.

"Oh come on you two lighten up. I am the one after all that told Seto to chase your tail last night. Apparently he didn't get to because you were in here with me." Yuugi had not realized how wrong that had sounded because for once he put no thought into what he was saying.

With a look of indifference, Seto looked over at Yami.

"I did nothing but kiss him." Yami said defensively. "I'm still wearing pants! So is he! Well he was until he took a shower." The more he spoke, the more he stuttered. He was digging himself a pretty deep hole.

Yuugi's eyes went large as what he had said sunk in. What he had said could be taken the wrong way. Furthermore, it was apparent that it had. Currently his dark was a stuttering mess, no typical take-charge confidence about him. "I didn't mean it like that!" He clarified.

There were the eggshells. They were all sure of it.

"Lighten up you two!" Seto laughed as he threw a pillow at the two of them. "Someone in this room needs to get laid and it isn't me." He grabbed a pillow so that he could be at the ready when they started to smack the shit out of him with theirs. "Well, actually I could use a good lay…" he said as an afterthought.

"Oh, that's it!" Yami and Yuugi said together as they started to smack Seto with their pillows.

Yuugi having too much fun ignored the pain. And, the fact that he was soon to lose his towel.
