Chapter: 10
Sweet Confessions
Seto's ears pricked up and his eyes bulged. 'Did I just hear what I think I heard? No, it was nothing. Just go to sleep Kaiba.' With that thought, he shut his eyes.
Yami again cried out in his frustration. "I love you Seto! Do you hear me?! I love you!"
Kaiba's eyes snapped open. 'Yeah, I heard it. That was definitely something. But, could it really be? Yami felt the same way as me? That same way I've felt for who knows *how* long? Oh gods, I hope so. I really really hope so.' Getting up, Kaiba slowly and steadily made his way over to the disturbed smaller boy, seeing him trembling. He put a hand on his shoulder, causing Yami to look up into Kaiba's frowning face and hopeful eyes.
Without warning, and with Yami's emotions running wild, Yami dove into Kaiba's arms, wrapping his own arms around Kaiba's waist. And Yami just cried and cried, his eyes raining onto Seto's shirt and making one spot considerably darker from the moisture.
He didn't know what to do. He'd never been hugged like that before except from Mokuba. But now, almost instinctively, Kaiba wrapped his own arms around Yami, caressing his back.
"Did you really mean that?" Kaiba said muffled into the smaller boy's shoulder.
But there was no answer. He only squeezed Kaiba tighter, not wanting to let go. His cries were depressing, and his pent up frustration finally got the best of him. Kaiba did his best to comfort the boy, stroking his back lightly. Yami's body jerked violently with each sob, and Kaiba didn't know what to do. He wanted to tell him how he felt... he just couldn't... But he thought now was the best time, because he knew why Yami was crying. He was crying because he thought he couldn't have him. Because he thought Kaiba didn't love him back. But he was wrong, so very wrong. Kaiba took a deep breath, and hugged Yami's body to him tightly.
"Don't cry. Please don't." Yami's own crying was making Seto's own tears fall once again.
"But -"
"There's no need to cry."
"But, Seto... I feel like I've lost something, something I never even had." And then Yami realized he was confessing his feeling right into Kaiba's face. It felt so... right.
"You haven't lost anything Yami. In fact you've gained something... my love."
Yami's eyes ceased to cry. Kaiba just sounded so prophetic. And he figured out... Kaiba was confessing his love as well. Yami's shoulders relaxed and he smiled into Kaiba's chest, realizing how warm and comfortable he was at that moment. Bliss, thy name is Seto Kaiba.
"Aishiteru, Yami. I always have, and I always will."
Yami lifted his head up to look at Seto. His eyes were watery, yet he had the biggest of smiles on his face. Kaiba smiling - now that was a sight nobody had ever seen. And it was something that Yami hoped to see more of. Kaiba stroked the side of Yami's tender face. He leaned in, and pressed his lips softly to his. It was their first real kiss of love. There were games, and there was lust, but this kiss... it was so pure. It was so sweet and chaste that they were both surprised.
When they pulled apart, they bobbed noses with each other. "Aishiteru mo, Seto. My Seto."
Kaiba chuckled. "*Your* Seto? Ok, then how about I call you, koibito?"
Yami sweatdropped. "Koibito?! But we haven't even had -"
Kaiba interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. "There's a first time for everything." He said seductively, kissing his soon-to-be-koi again, with more passion. Yami slowly slid off Kaiba's jacket and flung it off to the side, and then started working on unbuttoning his shirt with their lips still entangled.
'Hm', Kaiba thought, 'We might want to sterilize the table after this...'
*****
The next morning seemed to come faster than usual. Sundays were usually slow on both of their parts, Kaiba because it was the one day he had off of work, and Yami because he didn't have to go to school with Yugi. Nevertheless, they both woke up later then they usually would have.
Seto opened his eyes, the whole world being seen in a giant blur. Yami's eyes creaked open not a moment after him, and as soon as Seto laid eyes on him he started laughing.
Yami blinked a few times. "What's so funny?"
Seto stopped laughing for a brief moment. "You're a virgin, aren't you?"
"Not anymore." Yami said, grinning evilly.
Kaiba chuckled. "I mean, you were as of before last night, weren't you?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I could tell by the way you -"
"Stop making fun of me!" Yami said blushing a deep crimson, and giving Seto a playful shove.
That caused Kaiba to burst out laughing and roll over onto his side away from Yami, who's clothes were scattered somewhere around the table, as were Kaiba's. Yami frowned and pulled Seto's bare body back up against his own.
Kaiba froze. "What's the matter?" He said, turning to his new koi.
"Nothing. I was just... cold."
With that, Kaiba smiled, and pulled his lover close to him. He pulled The smaller boy's chin up and kissed him gently, before embracing for what seemed like an eternity.

I'm sure all of you are tired of all the author's notes, but there's something I have to say.
I want to thank everyone right here. I have great news for everyone (well, me at least). A woman from Japan e-mailed me and wants to put this fic, '48 Hours and Counting', in a Yu-Gi-Oh! Japanese magazine in circulation. Now this magazine is only in Japan and she asked my permission to translate it and put it in, it is an official fanfiction magazine. Now I don't know if this excites any of you, but to me it was an extreme honor on my part. Because of this news, and all of your encouragement, I am happy to continue this fic to the very end. Whelp, chapter 11 is on its way! Thank you and I love you all!
