Chapter Four_Open Your Eyes

It's amazing how one minute life can seem pointless, and the next you can't help but feel happy to be living it. I should have been happy, and I was for that brief five minute trot after my dance with death. That little angel's scarf had saved me. In a way, he had saved me. It was kinda kinky in a way, sort of like a really bad rendition of an old christmas movie. Then an anger filled my very soul, an anger that was the closest to a childish fit I've ever experienced. And the dreaded word that haunts us all popped up...why?
Seto stormed down the sidewalk till he was standing in front of the apartment complex. Why? Why now!? A deep anger was flaring inside him, and he childishly stomped his foot and looked up towards the cloudy heavens, WHY, DAMN YOU!? I PRAYED EVERY NIGHT OF MY CHILDHOOD FOR YOU TO SEND ME AN ANGEL!! WHY DID YOU WAIT TILL MY LIFE WAS PERFECT!?! DAMN YOU!!
Several people nearby continued walking, sending the ticked CEO disapproving glares and covering their children's ears so they couldn't hear the swear words. Seto just ignored then with a moody scowl and continued into the building. Ok, that was the most stupidest and immature thing he had ever done in his life. As if God could here him. Besides! Maybe there isn't a God! Maybe he was dreaming all of this and he'll wake up soon and be alone and happy again.
Seto got into the elevator pondering this and stepped out of the elevator on the thirtieth floor having made the decision that this was just a dream or something. Feeling better now, he unlocked the door and entered his apartment to find a shocking sight. There was the two damn midgets...on his couch...butt naked...
GAH! Kaiba! Yugi squeaked and jumped up, covering himself with a pillow while blushing three different shades of red.
Yami sat up as well, reclining into the couch in a easy-going manner. He fixed Seto with a glare to show he didn't like the sudden intrusion, not seemingly at all concerned that the brunette could see everything' of him.
Seto grumbled, several alien feelings kicking his guts around,
However, he couldn't find it in himself to be angry with them...or at least with Yugi. He couldn't really find any anger, having taken it out on the clouds outside. With a feeling of indifference, Seto trudged into the kitchen and set his briefcase down on the counter, then grabbed a soda and a bag of chips and walked calmly into his bedroom. Setting himself down into the warmth of his bed and propping his laptop on his lap, he opened up some files he had been working on the other night and took a sip of his soda.
Tik tik...tak tik...
A few minutes had gone peacefully by and Seto had nearly forgotten everything that had happened, being to absorbed in his work to have the chance to think about it. Yugi's cherub-like head peeped in through the cracked door before he hesitantly stepped in. Seto continue his work, watching the angel out of the corner of his eye. Yugi padded over to the bed and carefully crawled onto the sheets and over till he was next to the brunette. Then he hesitantly placed a hand on Seto's arm and rested his chin so that only his head from the eyes up could be seen peeking up at the brunette.
Yugi whispered vulnerably, obviously expecting to get his head bit off.
Grunt.
Taking a bit more courage, he poked the rest of his face out from under Seto's arm, Are...you angry with me?
Seto decided to answer him with words rather then grunts. It worked better.
Really? Even though Yami and I...did...you-know...on your couch? Yugi asked, slightly surprised.
I can always buy a new couch.
Point taken, Yugi sighed and nuzzled his face into Seto's nice warm arm. Can I watch?
Seto felt a strange warmth on the his cheeks as Yugi nuzzled more into his arm. He couldn't...no... not possibly...be blushing? Him? Seto Kaiba! The world's richest young man! The ice prince!! Blushing? Damn these boys, damn them. But, it had been a long time since someone ever treated him...like this...like he was human too. He was so rude to Yugi, but the angel just kept being nice to him back.
A while passed before them as Seto typed. Yugi had fallen asleep a while back, lulled by Seto's steady hit of the keys, the low humming of the laptop, the exhaustion of his earlier activities, and the warmth of the body next to him. Sighing and blinking away some sleepiness unsuccessfully, Seto finished what he had been typing and closed up with a yawn. Setting the laptop on the counter, he paused and took another moment to watch the angel next to him sleep on.
Amazing...simply amazing. If it had been any other two people, he would have thrown them out of his apartment for screwing on his really expensive designer couch. If it had been anybody else, he would have shoved Yugi out of his room before he had even gotten one foot in. Yet, here he was letting an angel and a demon get away with things no one else would or could. And since when did he get so nice? Was it when he realized Yugi had saved his life...with that stupid scarf? Was he starting to soften?
Yugi pouted in his sleep, his grip on Seto's shirt tightening ever so slightly. Another wave of that strange emotion flashed through the CEO's eyes, the icy blue softening for a second before returning to normal just as quickly.
He couldn't be...falling in love. Could he?
You're thinking to much on a wary mind, Kaiba, Seto told himself.
Still...it was kinda nice having Yugi next to him. He yawned again and stretched, causing Yugi to whimper sleepily at the loss of a warm arm. Seto snuggled down into the blankets and pulled the little angel into his arms, closing his eyes and deciding he'd think more about this tomorrow when he wasn't so sleepy.
*~~~~&~~~~*
What's wrong, Iwaku? You look bitter, chided a blonde Egyptian looking demon.
What are you doing here, Kagyaku? Yami asked numbly, making no effort to move from where he stood scowling down at his light and that damn brunette snuggled together in bed.
I'm the Demon of Pain, Iwaku, and Kaiba-san is my best costumer, Kagyaku sneered, violet eyes flashing maliciously.
Yami finally turned and fixed the blonde with a dark glare, What do you mean?
Honestly, Iwaku! And you call yourself the Demon of the Past. You'd think you'd have seen into Seto Kaiba's past sooner, Kagyaku continued to taunt, loving pissing his fellow demon off.
Fuck off, maybe I don't want to look into Seto's past, Yami defended viciously.
Kagyaku's sneer grew more malicious, Did you just call him Seto? Awe, I see now. You feelin left out little oni? Kinda like the third Dove in a nest of two?? Don't feel to bad. You could always spread your legs for me.
Yami's glare darkened, a slightly angered note to his voice, Mind your own business, yariman.
Oooh, why thank you. And I do enjoy what I do, Kagyaku snickered, making suggestive motions.
Yami turned away and went back to glaring coldly at that damn human they had been assigned to. This whole idea was a rotten. Forget Christmas, he'd rather keep Yugi and lose a holiday.
I could help, you know. I could get Kaiba out of you and your light's life for good, Kagyaku offered with a deceiving smile.
Kagyaku mentally cheered. Point one for him, his master will be pleased, By simply giving Kaiba-san a nightmare. A really terrible, painful nightmare that would leave him in grave pain. So much pain, in fact, he'd want to end it all.
I'll pass, Yami calmly answered.
The blonde's face fell to a look of shocked disgust, What. You'll pass? It's the only way, Iwaku!
Yami shook his head, quickly becoming annoyed by the other, I won't let you make him commit suicide. Even he doesn't deserve the price to pay for taking his own life...Goubatsu...
Well, aren't you becoming the softy. I guess I really did hear you call him Seto. Fine then! Don't come crying to me when little Yugi leaves you for this dirty human, Kagyaku snapped and turned, vanishing in a mist of dark violet.
Yami continued to glare at the spot the demon had been a while ago, seething at Kagyaku and himself for being so foolish. Yugi obviously felt for Seto and, no matter how much he denied it, Yami knew that he too was growing fond of the ice prince. Damn human.
Shivering slightly, Yami crawled under the covers and wrapped one arm around Seto's waist while resting the other across both the brunette and his beloved light. Warm, tired, and sick of every angel and demon in heaven or hell popping up to piss him off, Yami slowly drifted to sleep...his face furled into a troubled scowl.

AnimeFan: All right, chapter four done. And the relationship between the three is growing. Plus more talks about Seto dying. Everyone seems to want Seto to die. Oo? Or is it just a evil bad guy thing? Anywho... ^.^ Some fluffiness there between Seto and Yugi. I always thought that, if this threesome really did happen, Yugi would be the first into Seto's heart. He's just always nice to Kaiba, no matter what our pretty brunette does. ^^'
