Author's Notes: As some of you may know, this chappie is based on a song by
Jan Wayne, called, yes- you guessed it, Because the Night. There will be an
ever so slight bit of lime in this chapter. *listens smugly to the cheers*
Exactly what I was thinking.
Yami Cassie/Rouji: *lifts an eyebrow*
DMC: Hey, I'm happy cause I got to buy a really cool manga called MARS, and I got inspiration for this chapter. *grins widely* *suddenly her smile falls* But only Kyoko-chan reviewed my fic..........*pouts*
Oh, and by the way, Kaiba will now be referred to as Seto, unless it is in dialogue. You probably could've figured that out on your own, but I figure, what the hey, less work for my readers.

Chapter Four: Because The Night
Yugi sighed, staring out at the sky as he stood restlessly on his back porch. It was chilly, but he didn't feel like going back inside to get his coat. He felt imprisoned in the room where everyone slept. He was just too excited about getting to realize his dream of being a vocalist for a band -HIS band-, and not to mention being published by the guy he loved.
Yugi froze, blushing furiously. Had he actually thought that just now?!
"Do I...really...love him...?" Yugi muttered in the silence.
==========================================================
Seto had been standing in the doorway to the outside for some time, watching Yugi stare at the stars. Yugi had been so lost in thought that he didn't notice his former rival watching him. Yugi suddenly stiffened, and blushed redder than Seto had ever seen.
"Do I...really...love him...?" Yugi mumbled, chewing on a fingernail. Seto was brought back to his senses, and he draped the coat he held in his hands around Yugi's shoulders. Yugi jumped as he felt warmth encircle him, and an extra warmth on his shoulders.
"Love who?"
Yugi flushed with embarrassment. "How long were you standing there, Seto-kun?"
Seto chuckled. "Not long."
'Liar,' a voice hissed in Seto's mind. Seto told it to shut the hell up, which then prompted the voice to cackle maniacally. Seto suddenly wondered if Yami really had sent his own yami to the Shadow Realm or not.
Seto smirked. "You're avoiding the question. Is it someone I know? Who's the lucky guy?"
Yugi stiffened. "I don't feel like talking about it."
Seto sighed. "Suit yourself. I'm sure it'd be easier if you were to talk about it. Maybe I can help. You never know."
But the same nasty voice in the back of his mind snarled at him to kill whoever it was Yugi loved so Seto could snatch the boy all for himself. Seto protested that that would make Yugi heartbroken. His inner voice grumbled. Yugi swallowed, and glanced away.
"Well...this guy...I've known him for a long time. About one or so years. At first, we kinda despised each other, but now...I'm not so sure...he might like me back, but...I just don't know..."
Yugi snuggled more into the jacket -Seto's jacket, Yugi realized-, and inhaled deeply. He flushed lightly at the remnants of Seto's masculine scent, spiced with a bit of cinnamon and vanilla. Seto looked thoughtful.
"Yeah, I think I kinda know what you mean...but sometimes you've just got to take the risk. Is he the same sexuality as you?"
Yugi nodded. Seto brightened on the outside, while on the inside, he was seething with rage and jealousy.
"You should really just go for it. If that doesn't work, you could always go for a plan B."
The music that was still playing from Jounouchi saying he couldn't sleep without music, changed tune, going from a sweet and fast melody to a pained, slow and depressed tune.
'Take me now, baby, here as I am. Hold me close, try and understand. Desire is hunger, it's the fire I breathe, Love is a banquet on which we feed.'
Yugi peered at him curiously. "What plan B?"
Seto leaned forward to whisper sensuously in Yugi's ear. "Just seduce him."
Yugi felt his whole body turn flame red. He cleared his throat nervously and backed away slightly. As the next verse of the song came on, Seto followed Yugi's movements, backing Yugi up against a wall.
'Come on, now, try and understand The way I feel when I'm in your hand. Take my hand, come undercover, They can't hurt you now, Can't hurt you now, Can't hurt you now.........'
Seto leaned closer to Yugi. "May I ask who it is you're trying to seduce?"
Yugi stammered. "I-I-I'm not trying to s-s-seduce...a-anyone..."
Seto put a hand on Yugi's shoulder, and Yugi shivered slightly at the electricity running up and down his spine.
"Oh?" Seto questioned, arching one eyebrow. "Come on, you can tell me. I won't breathe a word. Cross my heart."
'Because the night belongs to lovers, Because the night belongs to love, Because the night belongs to lovers, Because the night belongs to us.'
Yugi stared into Seto's eyes for a long time, and he didn't even realize when he breathed, "You..."
A glimmer of triumph and possessiveness sparked within Seto's eyes, the only thing on his face that really revealed himself to anyone. Seto closed his eyes, and leaned forward, brushing his lips across Yugi's. Yugi moaned deeply as Seto wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist, nearly crushing the tiny boy against his tall frame. The next lyrics were hardly heard as the two boys groaned with pleasure while their tongues danced together.
Nearby, Yami smirked. 'Bout time,' he thought, still holding the CD case from which the recent song had come from.
'Have I doubt, when I'm alone, Love is a ring on the telephone. Love is an angel, disguised as lust, Here in a bed 'till the morning comes.'
The last line became brilliantly clear to the two boys, making them break apart for fear of what their activities could lead them to. Seto felt drunk with awe as he looked at Yugi's flushed and excited face, graced with a dazzling smile as the moonlight caressed his small form. They stared at each other for a few moments, trying to relax their breathing.
Eventually, however, a yawn from Yugi snapped Seto back to reality. Yugi gave a soft "eep!" as Seto lifted him into his arms. Seto carried the blushing boy back into the house, and deposited him on the couch. Seto then sat next to him.
"Sleep," he whispered, drawing the boy close to him with an arm. Once Yugi's breathing patterns had evened out, Seto looked up suspiciously.
"Yami, that was you the whole time, wasn't it?"
Yami stepped out of the shadows, smug smirk still plastered on his face. "You better bet it was. Jounouchi has never heard of 'Because The Night', so how could it possibly be on his CD??"
Seto chuckled lightly, trying not to wake Yugi with his movements. "I'm in your debt."
"No," Yami waved it away casually with a hand. "Consider this is my way of paying Yugi back for the happiness he has given me. I want him to be happy. If that means he wants to be with my rival, so be it."
Seto smirked. "Well, how 'bout this. From this day on, we'll be friends and rivals. That shall be my pay back to you for the happiness you have given both of us."
Yami smiled and took Seto's outstretched hand, shaking it firmly. "Deal."
The last verses of the song died away, and both Seto and Yami fell asleep, waiting for the next bright day to come.

Author's Notes: Um, yeah, I know it's short, but I couldn't think of anything else for this chapter. I thought it was good the way it was. Gomen nasai. Hopefully more next chapter. *blinks suddenly* hey, I oughtta make something for the holiday spirit...........you think?
