Chapter 36: Lost Time

Each day got progressively better for Yami, but he was always beyond exhausted by the end of the day. It was increasingly frustrating for Yami and he was starting to go out of his mind with lust. The fact that Kaiba didn't seem the least bit bothered by their unintentional break upset Yami and confused him. By Thursday, Yami couldn't take it anymore—especially not when he came over and discovered Kaiba in the shower. As much as Yami longed to join him, he resisted the urge and instead stripped down and got into bed to prep himself. Even though he was utterly exhausted, Yami knew that he wouldn't make it any further without an embarrassing incident, particularly if he was forced to wait all weekend as well.

When Kaiba came out of the bathroom, it wasn't a surprise to see Yami in his bed. However, seeing him in the middle of prepping himself did come as a bit of a shock. "What are you doing?" Kaiba asked in disbelief, willing himself not to become aroused by the sight.

Withdrawing his fingers, Yami said with a seductive look, "I should think it's fairly obvious."

"We are not doing anything," Kaiba warned with more conviction than he currently felt. "You'll be too tired tomorrow and—"

"I'll be fine," Yami reassured him as he gestured for Kaiba to come over to the bed. "I won't be if you make me wait until Sunday, though."

The thought of having to wait that long severely displeased Kaiba, but Yami's health came first. "You're too tired—" Kaiba started to protest.

Slowly stroking his erection, Yami sarcastically asked, "Does it look like I'm too tired?"

The sight was entirely too tempting and Kaiba could feel his resolve start to waiver as his hormones surged to the forefront of his mind. "You need rest," Kaiba firmly told him, even though his mind was pleading with him to succumb to Yami's temptation.

"No, I need you in me," Yami argued as he ran the fingers of his other hand over his entrance with a groan of want.

Kaiba could feel himself starting to get hard and he knew his towel wasn't going to hide that fact very long if things continued. Still, he persevered for Yami's sake. "You know we can't," Kaiba tried to reason with him.

"One way or the other, this is happening," Yami confidently said with a smirk. "It's up to you whether you watch from over there or come over here and join me."

Realizing that by resisting so much, he was only prolonging Yami's period of wakefulness, it was incentive enough for Kaiba to move. Yami grinned in victory as Kaiba took off his towel and got into bed, caging him in place. Even though Kaiba warned himself to be gentle with Yami, he couldn't stop from hungrily kissing him with days of pent up passion. He was aching to be buried in Yami and Kaiba quickly grew fully hard as the former spirit teased his length.

It was with great relief that Kaiba buried himself to the hilt in Yami and they both groaned at the sensations since it had been far too long. Kaiba tried to set an easy pace to be mindful of Yami's condition, but the former spirit would have none of that. He moved his hips with every thrust of Kaiba's and Yami was crying out loud at the perfection of feeling. It felt amazing to be so intimately connected to Kaiba after days of being unfulfilled and Yami could only gasp and moan as they moved together. Yami wanted to hold out, but it felt too good and he came with a moan that made Kaiba shudder.

It was fascinating to watch as Yami's body finally relaxed and Kaiba continued thrusting into his willing body and finally found release with a gasp. Yami began to immediately kiss Kaiba, stopping only when the brunette pulled out of him. "We so needed that," Yami murmured in between little kisses.

Kaiba indulged in them, even as he was assessing Yami's condition. He was worried he had pushed Yami too hard, but his concerns were unfounded. Still, he couldn't stop himself from worrying when he had to help Yami out of bed and into the shower. Rather than taking his time like normal, Yami hurried through the shower and collapsed into bed once more as Kaiba shut off the lights and joined him.

"One more day," Yami mumbled, wondering how he was going to make it. "Then I can sleep forever."

Arching an eyebrow at that as Yami snuggled against him, Kaiba asked, "Doesn't that make it hard to hang out with your friends?"

"I'm not going home this weekend," Yami explained, although his voice was starting to grow faint. "I need time to recover and I can't do that if I go back."

"They're going to think it's my fault," Kaiba sighed, certain that Jounouchi was going to pitch a fit.

The comment made no sense to Yami and he asked, "Why?"

"I'm not going back, either," Kaiba told him, noticing that Yami seemed to perk up at that. "I have to work on a few proposals and other things and won't be able to spend much time with my brother, so it doesn't make sense to go."

"Why is this the first I'm hearing about it?" Yami questioned, although he felt relieved that he wouldn't be completely alone like he had feared.

"Because I didn't want you to think you had to stay here with me instead of being with your friends," Kaiba honestly replied. "Besides, I'm really not going to have much time to do anything other than work."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make time," Yami teased, knowing that Kaiba would have to eventually cave.

"I'm serious, Yami," Kaiba warned, even as his fingers lightly trailed against the former spirit's shoulder. "It's not going to be like last time."

Even though Yami understood that, it was still disappointing to hear. "I'll have homework to keep me occupied," Yami reassured him. "Can we at least eat together?"

Hesitating a moment, Kaiba knew that realistically he required some breaks and that food would be necessary. "I suppose," Kaiba conceded, "as long as it doesn't turn into a three hour siesta or something."

"I don't know what that means, but okay," Yami agreed with a laugh before yawning. "I can live with that."

Leaning over to set the alarm, Kaiba settled himself once more as Yami snuggled closer with a contented sound. Yami was quick to fall asleep, but Kaiba continued holding him as his thoughts wandered about everything he had to do that weekend. Eventually, Kaiba also managed to fall asleep.

A/N: Oh, Yami. Always so stubborn that one.

NEXT CHAPTER:

It was all true, but Yami said, "I guess I just feel like I'm prying into something I shouldn't."

As I stated last week, due to my move to the other coast, there will be no update next weekend. The next chapter will be posted on Sunday, September 20th from my new apartment! Please look forward to it!
