Author's Notes: I forgot to mention this on the last chapter! The name "Seth" is not taken from (the almighty and wonderful fanfiction goddess) Demon Game's "Millenium Ai" story. The Dark Magician just...looks like a Seth. (Just look at 'im! He's a Seth! A SETH I TELL YOU!! *pant* *gasp* Pink bunnies and sporks...@.o;; *thud*) Beginning and ending words is something I usually say to my mom, who tends to explain things in too much detail. Here's that pic of Seth I promised you guys, by the way. He's sitting on a wall or something.... http://www.geocities.com/draconianeyes/sethsketch.jpg

Bed of Downs

Chapter Two: When I Want The Time...

            Seth smiled lightly as he admired Yugi. They had stopped for lunch in an outdoor café and it gave him the time to look to boy over more thoroughly as the child stared thoughtfully at passing people.

            'Now why did I think that? He is a child no longer.' the indigo-haired youth shook his head softly. He wondered what Yugi thought of him. Obviously he noticed the age difference; in this body, Seth was about twenty-three while Yugi was just at sixteen. By the look the teen had given him when he first met him he was obviously quite attractive. And not only did Yugi stare but others did as well. Some girls even glared at their male lovers for admiring him with lustful gazes.

            'I guess I'm just that beautiful.' Seth smirked.

            "Seth?"

            "Hm?"

            "You're ice cream is melting."

            "Oh! I didn't notice, thank you." the blue-eyed young man turned back to the dessert he had ordered—vanilla ice cream with strawberry syrup and a cherry—and picked up the plastic spoon once more.

            "You're very comfortable with all the modern things around."

            "What do you mean?"

            "Oh, did I insult you?"

            "No, not at all, just curious about what you meant."

            "Well, I would think a medieval magician would be a little...well, clueless around all this." Yugi made a sweeping motion with his hand to indicate the surrounding technology and Seth smiled a little.

            "I studied before coming here."

            "With what? That tome?"

            "No, I had a spell to bring a modern encyclopedia...err, several of them, to me. Good thing I had nothing to do there and I love to read."

            "Oh." Yugi blinked for a moment before saying something else, "And I thought you didn't need food."

            "In there I didn't, but here...well, I'm human. Completely. No magic whatsoever. I still have the tome, though, even if I can do nothing with it."

            "Huh. Does this mean you can't go back?"

            "I hope so. I hated being lonely almost as much as I hated missing you."

            Yugi blushed slightly and sheepishly grinned.

            "Thanks..." he murmured, making the former mage smile. "So, how long have you been here?" he said to change the subject.

            "About half a day."

            "So you don't have a place to stay?"

            "Actually...no." Seth's face tinged with red and Yugi smiled warmly.

            "You can stay with me."

            "No, I couldn't—"

            "I stayed with you, didn't I?" the boy interrupted, smile turning into a knowing smirk. The older man sighed and shook his head in defeat.

            "Alright. I owe you."

            "No, you don't. It's the very least I can do to repay you for being my friend when I needed it."

            "...Thank you. Thank you so very much...I..." Seth looked away, face suffused with crimson, then laughed a little. "I can't thank you enough."

            Yugi smiled warmly, violet eyes bright and glittering.

            "Neither can I."
