Hopeless Collisions

Chapter 10.

It was very late....and Kaiba was still typing on the laptop. It was all he could do to forget about where he was. By now it was 2 am, and he was beginning to feel weary but continued to work anyway. Kaiba was in fact planning to stay up all night without trying to sleep. By doing that, he wouldn't have to simply lay there and think about his brother. And after the odd feeling he got from absorbing a soul from someone, he had begun to think that maybe by sucking up that person's soul, it could count as giving him enough of an energy boost to not need sleep.

Now tired, his mind began to drift. And as it did, instead of thinking about Mokuba like he usually did....another thought had drifted into his mind. It was a vision. In this sort-of dream state he is was in, he saw himself - yet he was dressed in Egyptian robes. He was chanting something that he somehow knew was a spell....he wielded both the Rod and the Eye. He also wasn't alone....someone watched in the darkness, hidden in the shadows. Another unknown person that was out of view was also protesting that he was forbidden to use such dark magic's. But, this Egyptian Seto didn't care. He was using it anyway to awaken someone....it was a woman, the same woman he remembered having a vision of sacrificing for a Blue Eyes during Battle City.

'You will anger the gods!'

'Damn the gods, she will not be taken from me!' As he continued his chant, the other one in the shadows seemed to laugh in delight.

"Kaiba!" A voice said, snapping him from his vision and back to reality. He looked around to find Pegasus watching him curiously from behind.

"When did you....??" Kaiba began to ask, wondering how and when he came into his office, without his knowing. But he stopped asking, realizing this strange vision seemed to distract him from seeing what was happening around him. "What do you want?" He finally asked.

"Well....I was worried. You were really out of it. Did something happen? Was it the Rod??" Pegasus asked.

"I'm fine....it was nothing." Kaiba said, beginning to sound weary.

Pegasus once again bent down close to him, whispering, "It's late and you're tired....let's get you to your room."

"I....I'm not planning on sleeping." Kaiba said wearily. "Go without me, I'll be fine."

"No you wont. You need your strength." Pegasus said.

"I'll get it tomorrow, after doing what you ask." Kaiba answered.

Pegasus shook his head, saying, "Those moments of euphoria give you the illusion of being alive and awake. But the strength it is giving you are magical energies....such energies still cannot sustain you physically. If you allow yourself to become weaker, that can affect you negatively towards our goals. You need your sleep." Kaiba clenched his jaw, turning away....saying nothing as a response.

Pegasus sighed, saying, "You still don't think you can get to sleep on your own, do you? Do you want me to stay with you again? I know you wouldn't dare ask such a thing, but I would be more than willing to....in order to help fulfill our goals, after all."

Again Kaiba gave no answer, and Pegasus took that as a yes, since he was too proud to answer such a thing. And Pegasus had a feeling if he didn't mention it being best for them both, Kaiba probably would have refused. Pegasus smiled, giving a slight pull on his arm, whispering, "Come on....let's go."

After that, it didn't take much coaxing to get Kaiba to stand and be lead back to his room, once again. In the bedroom, Kaiba pulled off his trench coat and shirt, as he pulled from his drawer his Pajama bottoms. He then cautiously looked over Pegasus's way, who had all ready changed into his pajamas earlier at night, and was casually looking Kaiba's way.

"What?" Pegasus asked.

"I wouldn't mind a bit of privacy." Kaiba snapped, hinting the fact that he wanted to finish changing alone.

Pegasus sighed and turned away, answering, "All you had to do was ask. Happy?"

Kaiba paused, feeling uncomfortable changing with Pegasus in the room. But he was tired and didn't feel like arguing....he did turn away, after all. So, Kaiba turned away himself, taking off both pants and slipping on his pajama pants. As he did this, Pegasus glanced over without his knowing, sneaking a peak and pleased with what he saw.

'Ah, Kaiba....you never disappoint me.' He thought, turning away just in time before Kaiba could realize he had been spied upon. Pegasus then moved over, giving Kaiba ample room to get into his own bed.

They both laid in bed, Kaiba still having trouble getting to sleep. Pegasus could tell he was still awake and rolled over to face his back, asking, "Do you want another story?"

"No." Kaiba answered coldly.

"That didn't seem to help too much, anyway." Pegasus admitted, then slowly slipped his arms around Kaiba, causing him to stiffen up instantly from the contact. "This helped a lot more last time." He quietly muttered to Kaiba.

It caused a realization in Kaiba's mind, remembering that Pegasus did do this last night. But, he was too tired and too much in pain from his loss of his brother. He faded to sleep shortly after.

But now consciously aware of it and unaccustomed to anyone touching him, he froze on the spot from the contact of having Pegasus wrapped around him, before he finally whispered, "Stop...."

"Why?" Pegasus muttered. "Do you really hate this, or are you afraid you like it too much?"

"I don't know what you're implying." He muttered back. "But whatever it is....I'm not interested. Maybe you forgot what our focus is supposed to be on. I'm trying to bring back Mokuba, and I believe your interest is in your wife." Kaiba then smirked adding, "How happy do you think she'd be, knowing you had your arms around another man?"

"I don't think she'd be too upset, knowing I took comfort with someone in order to feel better while she was gone. Tell me, Kaiba....what's so wrong about that? To allow ourselves to be momentarily distracted, allowing us to think of something else other than the pain of loss? Is that so terrible? Maybe you should give it a try....you might like it." Pegasus whispered back, bringing his mouth close to his ear, as he answered. He then moved just a little closer kissing him softly on the cheek.

Kaiba didn't feel entirely comfortable with the situation. But, still....Pegasus was right. He would do just about anything in order to distract him from having to think about the pain he had to endure, since Mokuba's death. And being at a point in his life where he wanted to die himself, it left his resistance's low and he was too weak to be willing to push him away. Part of him hungered for attention....any attention, and Pegasus was offering.

Pegasus was pleased to find he did not push him away yet, so he moved closer as he began to wrap himself closer around Kaiba, gently moving his hand down Kaiba's front as he whispered, "Let me show you what it's like to feel good again." Taking full advantage of Kaiba at his weakest. Kaiba nodded, as he began to give into Pegasus's seduction.
