Chapter 13: Explanations.

01:00 am

Setos eyes kept a watch on the clock. The sun hadn't risen yet, and the only light in the entire room was his watch.

01:02 am

He had been like this for a whil, but finally his thoughts were steady and emotions were in check. The brunette had many choices, but he felt quite confused on which one to chose.

01:03 am.

"I need some food," Seto whispered to himself. He pushed himself out of bed lightly and saw Martin's body. He wasn't dead but after immediately entered his room, he collapsed straight onto the floor and snoozed away.

Seto had tried to at least pick him up and pull him onto the bed but he was sadly much heavier than the brunette expected and each time he did, Seto realised he might wake Martin up. So he grabbed an extra pillow and blanket and placed them on Martin.

He slowly leaned over and finally got over him, he opened his door and began to descend downstairs. He felt the cold wooden banister against his fingers and could make out most shapes around the room.

His…friends were still on the couch, still in the exact same positions and were snoozing peacefully away. Seto tip-toed down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, the brunette felt shaken to do this but decided that he at least needed to do this.

He stepped into the kitchen and felt the memories waver back, a slight headache dulled in his head and everything felt much less worse than expected. He hadn't lost it again and the emotional a also felt quite dull.

The purple-eyed male hadn't been able to by another fridge after Akura ripped it out of the wall and used it as a mouse weapon. He walked past it and began to search through the cupboards slowly. It was then he found a small packet of what he was looking for.

He took it down and carefully inspected it.

A small packet of biscuits.

He gently leaned against the counter as quietly opened the packet and began to nibble on the first one. His eyes firmly locked into the garden with no other movement. Each muscle in his body felt weak but was still holding on strong.

"I can't run away since they would look for me…lying to their faces is no option either but…" Seto mumbled to himself and sighed at the end. Then again they were going to abandon him like they did.

"I should just face up to it, my fault so I need to stay." The brunette mumbled to himself as he finally finished the first biscuit. "Even if history repeats itself."

When Gavin finally opened his eyes; he was first met to the world being upside down. He groaned and shook his head slightly. The world was indeed upside down, he blinked and gave a yawn.

His view was plainly into the kitchen.

He could…could make out a figure leaning against the counter.

"Seto!" the blonde blurted out loudly with a large smile on his face, it was then that he fell with a painful thump onto the floor. His head and top of his back meeting the wooden floor and his legs hanging over him.

"Bugger," the emerald-eyed Brit mumbled to himself and he swung himself onto his side, his body feeling the cold floor underneath. Finally he got up and gleefully ran to the kitchen with arms wide open.

He quickly put the brunette in a hug and Seto froze at this. The blonde smiled but quickly let go, Seto stared into Gavin's emerald eyes with…hesitation or fear. Either one possibly.

"Hey Seto," the blonde chuckled lightly, but the expression on Seto's pale face still stood strong. Finally he went back to stoic self and stared at the ground.

"Would you like some breakfast?" the purple-eyed male asked, his arms folded and body leaning against the kitchen counter. Gavin gulped.

"Nah, not really that hungry…are you alright being…here?" Gavin asked.

Seto gave no real answer, "I can live with it."

Gavin blinked, "so…it's like a…well living in the kitchen would be weird."

Seto gave no sound, facial expression and not even a movement. He stood horribly still, like a statue.

Finally the blonde gave a tired sigh, "you still remember last night?"

Seto nodded without hesitation.

"Do you-"

"No."

The Brit could only stare at his friend, he looked do tired and scared. Already everything was going poorly for him and Gavin had the feeling that this situation would get ten times worse. He gulped and shuffled his feet but finally opened his arms.

"If you want to talk about it-"

"Leave me alone!" Seto snapped, Gavin blinked and shook his head.

"Seto, we want to help you and saying nothing isn't bloody going to help," his emerald-eyed friend spoke as he got closer. Seto pulled his hood over his head and stared at the ground silently.

"We've put the pieces together but we need you to explain the situation." Gavin continued.

"What's the point?" asked Seto.

The blonde finally narrowed his eyes, "the point?! the point is that you need help and we need to understand. If we don't understand anything then how can we help you!"

Standing his ground, Seto gave a noise what seemed to be a harsh growl "did I ask guys go even pry into my past."

"We didn't even think of doing that, we just want you to be happy?! Happy?! is that too much to ask?!" Gavin exclaimed as his voice raised higher and accent grew more prominent.

"Well I am sorry that I can't be happy. It's rather hard being happy when everything around you collapses into nothing but dust!" Seto spat in anger, Gavin saw his purple eyes had grown tiny and each fist was clenched and shaking. Gavin had never seen anger on Seto. Ever.

Gavin could only stammer, "T-Then please t-tell us the problem is s-so that we can fix it."

Before the blonde could react, his lower body was slammed against the kitchen counter. He felt pain go through but it was ten times worse with his still healing ankle. He gritted his teeth and head into the counter. He opened his eyes and they turned tiny.

Purple shadowy eyes stared back. No light but instead pure darkness, the shadows underneath his eyes and the way the light shone made Gavin think of the first stereotype come to mind.

A murderer.

Then again he was his friend. Seto inhaled in deeply and lifted his head a little more.

"My past is full of the mistakes I made and the many walls that stood in my way. I've handled them for so many years that…that I've always kept everything to myself and never let anything go. So I will tell you thing that is my right now." Seto talked with his voice do soft and smooth yet with that expression.

"You guys. You are the problem. So do me a favour - stop being a friend to me and leave."

Gavin blinked and he looked over Setos head. He stared for only a few seconds before finally letting his arms became limp and hanging head. His scarf was still dangling softly. The sun was already out of a cloud and shining through the window; onto the tiles and on them. Only Gavins shadow covered Seto. A soft smell of lavender was in the air and a gentle heat also touched everyone.

"Fine," the Brit breathed, "I give up."

Seto let go of Gavins t-shirt and stared, he blinked but got back to his stoic expression like a flash. His body became mostly limp and his eyes became dull but not cracked.

The eyes then light back up as two arms wrapped around him. Seto felt his face press againsts Gavins shoulder and feel how soft it was. A scent of cats, fresh green grass and tea hit his nostrils and he felt his back relax.

"I am giving up on the argument." The blonde stated with a smile.

"I am not…no we are never giving up on you." Gavin stated.

Seto blinked as his tears welled up and he clutched onto Gavin shirt. His back still pressed against the cupboard, they both slid down until they sat on the kitchen floor. Seto gave no noise or any indication of crying (except the wet feeling on his shoulder). The brunette had no intention of letting go and the blonde kept on letting him hug.

He looked up to see the group still standing there, all awake and alert. Gavin just gave one of his cheery smiles and finally they joined in. Seto felt more arms and hugs with the body warmth as well. He just nuzzled in and felt each tear leak out.

The sunlight still shining on the kitchen tiles.

No body on the floor.

No blood.

Nothing wrong.

It had been exactly another week since the incident.

The group were at the airport and finally going off to there next destination, Russia. While the week they spent was mostly being inside and trying to be helpful, they did visit Choppers friends who were also in the city as well.

Gavin took a deep breath in and smiled, slowly walking through the airport over to the plane. His eyes darted about and made sure the group was close together. Nepeta, Martin and Chopper were talking to each other. Nepeta seemed to be going on about wild romantic story with the tiny doctor listening carefully and Martin chuckling. Though Gavin also knew that Martin wanted to keep an eye on his best friend, Seto was walking at the back of the group with Akura accompanying him.

The blue-haired woman narrowing her eyes but visibly relaxed. Seto was smiling, off yes but there friend had grown more relaxed and comfortable. More emotion was showing and he began to show affection through hugs. He did though revert to this stoic expression but Gavin was seeking that change.

Faith was happy enough to walk behind him with Alex, her pink bouncing with each step she took.

"You good?" the blonde asked as Alex had been grumbling through the entire trip.

The brunette sighed, "not really since we're going to Russia your gonna have to meet my shit family."

"So, we can bloody well handle it." Gavin smirked but Alex only snorted at this.

"I hate them and they hate me. My fathers an assholes, my brothers an assholes, there all assholes…your an asshole." His red-eyed friend insulted.

"I am not an asshole…I am a butt." Gavin clarified with himself looking up to the ceiling.

"Still…there is one thing I am happy about which is your gonna meet one of my friend, they he stuck around I mean." Alex mumbled.

"You never know, it might be like Dublish." Gavin chucked with Alex smiling back.

"Yeah, there really cool but also pretty sweet." Gavin fell silent, Alex rarely ever complimented someone ever; so who ever this person was must really have done something great.

"So how long in the flight?" the blonde asked.

"11 hours."

Gavin stop and quickly turned around again, the group turned around to watch him go.

"I'll catch you guys in Russia," Gavin yelled, "I'm walking."

Here is the final chapter for Japan. I wasn't sure if Seto would fully revel his backstory but I decided to go against it. His friends realised it would take time for him to even say anything about his past and they need to be patient. A friend wanted to say something to you then sometimes you got to be patient.

Also Setos development. My beta said is was highly possible that Seto might become a sue and that is my worst nightmare. I've decided to go a little deeper with his character like how he is opening up a lot more and even then things got worse for him after his parents death. No joke.

Seto does have some self-loathing in him but it's not that usually seen and even then he is still quite anxious about this friendship. He's still not entirely reassured that it would not become like Team Crafted did.

Also Gavin walks to Russia.
