Seto: what are you doing?

Seto: HEY!

Seto: oi!

Seto: you better not be ignoring me!

Seto: ATEM!

Atem: Dear Ra! seto stop!

Seto: what are you doing?

Atem: I was sleeping until you kep makig my phone buzz like kuriboh on steroids

Seto: what's that even supposed to mean? I don't get it

Atem: Me either, because people aren't very funy when it's two in the morning…

Seto: Huh… I forgot it was that late

Atem: Why can't I hav a normal bf? What's wrong?

Seto: so, mo and I had movie night tonight

Atem: … if you woke me up to contemplate the deeper meaning behind Toy Story we're going to have an argument so help me…

Seto: suck it up, this is the boyfriend law to listen to each other's important thoughts

Atem: There is no law! I'm not discussing Finding Nnemo with you at 2am!

Seto: it's nothing like that. We watched big hero 6

Atem: Ugh!

Seto: Did you really just spell out 'ugh?'

Atem: YES! I'm expressing my distress at your insane notion of human conversation!

Seto: you're probably making that pouty face, too, aren't you? heh heh.

Atem: That's it! I'm shuttng my phone off. Good night…

Seto: NO WAIT! I actually had a reason for waking you up!

Atem: What?! What could possibly be so impoftant that you couldn't wait until morning?!

Seto: would you take care of mo if i died?

Atem: …? Seto?

Seto: it's just that, I think i'd run into that stupid burning building for some dumb reason and i want to make sure hes okay

Atem: Of course… I'd be there for him. You know I would.

Seto: …. i have all sorts of securities and protocols surrounding mo if something ever happened to me

Seto: but then i realized that it's all physical bubbles. he'd have no emotional support

Seto: and then I wondered what would happen if it was mo that died and not me. what would I do then?

Seto: what if it was you? what if I lost both of you?

Seto: how could I go on without you?

Atem: Hey, it's okay. Give me a few minutes and I'll come over.

Seto: no, don't bother. it's late.

Atem: It's not a problem. I just need to get dressed.

Seto: no, forget it. it's stupid anyway.

Atem: Your thoughts and concerns are not stupid. I'll be over in 20 minutes.

Seto: I SAID NEVERMIND! go back to bed

Atem: If you're sure…

Seto: I am.

Atem: Okay, but, what about the boyfriend law?

Seto: … can i call you? we don't have to talk. you can go back to sleep. i just want to hear you breathing

Atem: Sure.

The boys ended up talking until the sun came up. Kaiba fell asleep first, and Atem was the one to listen to his life-giving breath.
