Chapter 21- Deciding
Yugi and the others were at school the next day.
"Did Touma say if you could play at the benefit?" Yami asked.
"He didn't say yes, but he didn't say no, either. He wants to talk to Seiji before he makes that decision." Yugi answered.
"I hope that he'll let you. I know that it would be great for the carnival." Bakura said.
"Well, we'll just have to wait and see." Jou said.
"Have you guys thought about what you would play?" Seto asked.
"Yeah. We've talked about it, and we're still deciding." Heba replied.
"Well, I'm sure that whatever you decide to play will be great. After all, once it gets out that you guys are playing, I have a feeling that it will bring in a lot of people." Seto said.
"Well, that would be the point." Ryou said.
"In any case, we'll find out later." Yugi said.
Yugi and Yami walked toward their chemistry class.
"Do you think that Touma talking to Seiji is such a good thing?" Yami asked.
"Why wouldn't it be?" Yugi asked.
"You do remember what happened between them the last time that they were together." Yami said.
"Yes. I remember it quite vividly." Yugi answered, grimacing as he remembered what he had heard. "It would take amnesia for me to forget that." Yugi said.
"Well, you know that they haven't talked to each other since that happened. I just wonder how they are going to deal with that given the fact that they had sex then." Yami said in a low voice so that only Yugi could hear him.
"Yami, I know that, but Seiji and Touma are both adults, and they are both very rational people. They will be fine talking to each other." Yugi said.
"I hope that you're right." Yami said, still having his doubts.
Touma walked into Domino General Hospital where he knew that Seiji worked. He walked up to the information desk and said, "Excuse me?"
The woman looked up and said, "Yes. Can I help you?"
"Yes. I was wondering where Dr. Seiji Date's office is." Touma said.
"He's on the third floor. A nurse can show you where his office is." the woman said.
"Thank you." Touma said. He headed for the elevator and got in, pressing the button for the third floor. He took a deep breath and thought, 'I hope that I can get through this.'
When the elevator doors opened, Touma stepped out and was about to head for the nurse's station when a voice said, "Touma?" He turned to find Shin.
"What are you doing here, Touma?" Shin asked.
"Well, I was needing to talk to Seiji. Where is his office?" Touma asked.
"Oh. It's on this floor, but he's in a meeting right now." Shin said.
"A meeting?" Touma asked.
"One of the pains of being in an administrative position. He does double duty as chief of staff as well as a surgeon. He hates the administrative part of his job." Shin said.
"Well, I guess I should have called." Touma said.
"No problem. You can wait in his office for him. He won't mind." Shin said.
"If you think that he won't mind. Can you tell me where his office is?" Touma asked.
"Follow me." Shin said. He led Touma down the hall to a door that had Seiji's name on the door. "Just go on in and wait for him." Shin said.
"Okay." Touma said.
Shin then walked off.
Touma opened the door and walked in, shutting the door behind him. 'Great. I have to wait for him now.' Touma thought. He sat down in a chair across from Seiji's desk chair and sat there to wait.
Yugi and the others had gathered under the Sakura tree for lunch.
"So, what are we going to do after school?" Marik asked.
"Well, we thought that we would go home after school to do some practicing in case Touma does agree." Heba said.
"I guess that would be a good idea since the carnival is in a few weeks." Yami said.
"I really hope that he lets you guys play. I know that benefit would do great then." Atemu said.
"Hey. If you do get to play, maybe you could play those songs that you wrote to try and get Seiji and Touma back together." Bakura said.
"Well, I guess we could. Would we be able to by then?" Malik asked.
"We're pretty good with them now. I think that it would work out well." Yugi said.
"How many were there?" Yami asked.
"Three. I think we would be ready with all three." Yugi said.
Seiji opened the door to his office and was surprised to see Touma in the room. "Touma, what are you doing here?" Seiji asked.
"I hope that you don't mind me being here. Shin said you wouldn't mind me waiting in here." Touma said.
"No. I don't mind. I was just wondering why you're here." Seiji said.
"Well, Yugi and the others found out about the benefit carnival that you do every year." Touma said.
"Yeah. We're having trouble finding a band to do the concert. We might have to go with a local band." Seiji said as he walked to sit in his chair.
"Well, you might not have to." Touma said.
"What do you mean?" Seiji asked.
"Well, Yugi and the others would like to play for the concert part." Touma said.
"They would?" Seiji asked, surprised.
"Yeah. They like to play, and they like to help. This way, they would be doing both." Touma said.
"They do know they won't be getting anything from this, right?" Seiji asked.
"It's not the first benefit concert that they would have done. Besides, they just love playing and singing. They'll get enjoyment out of doing it and knowing that they'll help the children who stay in that wing of the hospital." Touma said.
"So, they'll be playing at the benefit?" Seiji asked.
"I haven't decided if they can yet. I was wanting to talk to you about it first." Touma said.
"Okay. Well, the carnival actually starts at nine in the morning. Anyone can play the games, buy the things at the booth, or whatever the different booths are. There are also a few food stands. At seven, the concert would start. Usually, it's up to the band when it ends as long as it's not too late." Seiji said.
"That's not too bad. At least it's on a Saturday." Touma said.
"There's no way that I would make it any other day. That's when most people are off and can come." Seiji said.
"Well, it sounds like a good thing. I can see why Yugi and the others want to play in the concert." Touma said.
"So, will you let them play?" Seiji asked.
"Yes. I'll let them play. I already know that they want to, and I know that they really want this. I don't see anything wrong with them playing for the concert." Touma said.
"Well, that saves me a lot." Seiji said
"Given that it's a benefit concert, I think that the hospital will be getting a lot." Touma said.
"What makes you say that?" Seiji asked.
"If it gets out that Hikari and Aibou is playing at your benefit concert, the place is going to be packed. Every concert they had on their summer tour was sold out." Touma said.
"Are you serious?" Seiji asked.
Touma nodded. "You'll do great with this benefit concert." Touma said.
"Well, the head of administration will be happy to hear this." Seiji said.
Touma laughed. "Just makes sure that he knows that it'll be full of teenagers." Touma said.
Seiji nodded. "I will, and I appreciate you letting them do this." Seiji said.
"No problem. They enjoy this kind of thing." Touma said as he stood up.
Seiji also stood up. "Well, I appreciate it. I was going out of my mind trying to figure out who I would get to play at the benefit concert." Seiji said.
Touma smiled at him. "Glad that I could help. Well, really it's them that's doing the helping." Touma said.
Seiji smiled back. "I'll have to thank them." Seiji said.
Before Seiji could stop himself, he leaned forward and kissed Touma.
Touma was taken off guard by the kiss, but it wasn't long before he ended up kissing Seiji back. He let his hands trail up and wrap around Seiji's neck.
Seiji locked the door to his office.
"What do you think happened with Seiji and Touma?" Yami asked Yugi.
"I don't know. I guess they just talked about the benefit and then Touma left." Yugi said.
"I just hope that they didn't get into an argument. You know that they have to have a lot of pent-up feeling given everything that happened between them in the past." Yami said.
"I know what you mean. I don't think that they would let their tempers get the best of them." Yugi said.
"I hope that they don't. I don't want anything to happen between them. It would make things hard on us since we're all dating." Yugi said.
"I know what you mean. I'm sure that we don't have anything to worry about. At least, I hope they don't let their emotions get the best of them." Yami said.
After having sex on Seiji's desk, Touma and Seiji got themselves straight, not wanting anyone to know what had happened.
"We have really got to stop this." Seiji muttered as he buttoned his shirt back up.
"I know. This has to stop. We can't just keep having sex when we're alone in the same room." Touma agreed as he buttoned his pants.
Seiji glanced at Touma and said, "This doesn't change anything, does it?"
"No. Yugi and the others will play at the concert. Don't worry about that." Touma said.
"At least no one caught us this time." Seiji said.
The sudden knock on the door had both of them jumping.
"Yes." Seiji said.
Shin opened the door and poked his head inside. "It okay if I come in?" Shin asked.
"Sure. Is it hospital related?" Seiji asked.
"Yeah. Dr. Moran wants to see you about the benefit concert." Shin said.
"At least I have a good answer this time." Seiji said.
"You found someone?" Shin asked.
"Yugi and the others are playing." Touma said.
"That's great! Hikari and Aibou will bring in a lot of teenagers." Shin said.
"Yeah. It will." Seiji agreed.
"Well, I'd better be going." Touma said before he left the office.
"You two okay?" Shin asked.
"We're fine." Seiji said, turning to his desk.
Shin shut the door. "You two had sex, didn't you?" Shin asked.
"Shin!" Seiji exclaimed, blushing.
"You did, didn't you?" Shin asked.
Seiji sighed, not able to lie to his friend. "Yeah. We did." Seiji said.
Shin sighed. "Seiji, you two haven't been together in over five years. Are you out of your mind?" Shin asked.
"Shin, it's not like we planned this." Seiji said.
"I know. Not like Shu and I plan it, either." Shin muttered.
"You two have has sex in your office?" Seiji asked.
"No." Shin said.
Seiji sighed in relief.
"In Shu's office." Shin said.
"Shin, I didn't need to know that." Seiji said.
"What are you going to do? You know that this changes a lot." Shin said.
"I know, and I'll deal with it." Seiji said.
"Seiji, just tell Touma that you still love him. That may help some." Shin said.
"I'll figure something out." Seiji said.
"Okay." Shin said before he left the office.
Seiji sighed. 'I can't believe I let that happen again.' Seiji thought. He gathered himself before he headed to meet with Dr. Moran.
Touma entered the mansion and went to the living room, sitting down. He put his face in his hands. 'I can't believe that I let that happen again.' Touma thought.
Touma leaned back against the couch and let out a sigh.
~Flashback~
Seiji laid Touma down on the desk before he climbed on top of him, kissing Touma before starting to trail kisses down Touma's neck.
"Seiji, what if someone walks in on us?" Touma asked through the shortened breath.
"Don't worry. I locked the door." Seiji said before he continued with what he was doing.
Touma soon lost himself in Seiji's ministrations, and he forgot everything as Seiji took him again.
After they were done, the two just lay there for a moment as they came down from their high.
Touma thought he heard Seiji say 'I love you', but he wasn't sure.
~End Flashback~
Touma let out a frustrated sigh. 'I have got to either tell Seiji I still love him and want to give us another chance, or I have to stop this, but I'm not sure which.' Touma thought.
If Touma was honest with himself, he would admit that he wanted to give himself and Seiji another shot.
The door opened and shut, and Jun came running in.
"Hi, papa!" Jun said.
"Hey, Jun. How was school?" Touma asked.
"It was great." Jun replied.
A few moments later, Yugi, Heba, Ryou, Malik, and Joey entered the room.
"Thanks for picking Jun up from school for me today." Touma said.
"No problem, Tou." Yugi said.
"I know that you want to know about the benefit, and yes, you can play at it." Touma said.
"All right!" Jou exclaimed.
"Thanks, Touma." Heba said.
"Now, get upstairs and do your homework before you do any practicing." Touma said.
"Okay." Malik said dejectedly.
The five teenagers headed upstairs.
Yami and the others entered their home to find that Seiji was already there.
"Hey, Seiji. Did Touma talk to you today?" Yami asked.
"Why?" Seiji asked, thinking they knew about the tryst in his office.
"Well, Yugi and the others were asking Touma if they could play at the benefit, but he decided to talk to you first." Atemu said.
"Yeah. Touma came and talked to me. They're going to be doing the concert." Seiji said.
"That's great! I can't wait to see them in concert again." Bakura said as the group headed upstairs.
Seiji smiled. 'This will be a great benefit.' Seiji thought. He sighed. 'I just hope that I can figure out how to keep my hands off Touma.' Seiji thought.
Hope you liked it. I know that it was more Seiji/Touma. I promise that I will get back to the others soon.
Next: It will be the benefit. This might be a two chapter thing.
