"You're my blessing in disguise
You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be
Years from now"

"Wait, maybe we should change first," Ryou stated.
Everyone agreed and went to their rooms, well the rooms that had their clothes. After a few minutes, one by one they came out. The first ones to come out were Tristan, Mokuba and Mr. Motou. They all had simple and comfortable pajamas. Yugi and Ryou were next; they had taken their time to dress for some reason. Serenity and Tea finally came out. Serenity had a long pretty nightgown, while Tea came out in a short one, which reviled too much, for winter time.
"Tea, aren't you going to get cold?" Ryou asked.
"No, I don't think so," Tea said simply and waited for Yami to walk out and see her.
Bukura and Joey followed; they too had taken their time, wonder why?
Bakura was wearing something similar to Ryou only his shirt was sleeveless. Joey too had a sleeveless shirt. Yami had decided to change in the bedroom. He didn't think it was wise, to change in the same room as Seto especially if he was changing as well. Yami didn't think he could contain himself from ravishing the young man. He had to wear a sleeveless shirt as well because the original top was a little too big. He walked out and noticed Seto had not come out yet. Tea was looking at him hungrily. He wanted to shiver at the thought of what Tea was thinking about.
He knew that Tea liked him, it was no secret. But she was so dense that she did get it. He would never like her like that, nor any other girl for the matter.
"Where's Seto?" Yami asked.
This caused Tea to frown, Mokuba answered that he was still changing.
They heard the door open, and all turned to see the slender form coming out of the door. He slowly came to the living room; he could feel all eyes were on him. Yami couldn't help but stare it him. He looked so innocent, so beautiful.
"Come on, Joey let's start the duel," Mokuba stated bring him out of his gaze.
Joey and Mokuba sat down on the floor, where everything had been set up. The some of the group gather around, while Mr. Motou remained on his chair and looked down at them. Seto had moved to the window. Yami followed him and sat down near him.
Yami watched Mokuba and Joey duel, then would glance at Seto every now and then.
Mokuba and Joey duel their best. Each one putting a card down, beating each other one after they other. Yami had noticed all of Mokuba's cards seemed very familiar. Then each one had enough for one more attack, one more loss and one would lose. Mokuba had a card hidden on the field, while Joey drew one more card. He smiled and he put down his card, the Red Eyes Black Dragon.
"I play, Red Eyes Black Dragon in attack mode. Sorry Mokuba, it was great dueling you but everything has to come to an end," Joey grinned.
"I could agree more, Joey," Mokuba smiled as he flipped over his hidden card, a Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"What?" everyone said in shock.
"White Lighting," Mokuba stated.
The winner was Mokuba!
"What? But those are Seto's card, you're cheating," Joey protested.
"No he isn't. Because those are his cards now," Seto said.
"What?" Yami asked in confusion.
"I gave up Duel Monsters after Battle City," Seto said.
"Why?" Yugi asked.
"Too many things to do," Seto answered.
"Still that doesn't explain how good Mokuba is," Bakura said.
"Seto taught me," Mokuba said as he looked at his older brother.
Mokuba had been upset, when he found out Seto no longer would duel. Apart of him is still upset, but he kept the card Seto had given him, hoping that one day Seto would change his mind. He loved his brother dearly, and he knew duel monsters had been his only escape, so why would he give it up?
"Well, this was an interesting development," Mr. Motou said.
Everyone turned their attention to Mr. Motou. He had stood from his chair.
"I think it time for us to sleep now, because tomorrow we're going to go buy the Christmas tree," Mr. Motou said as he disappeared into the hallway. Then he came back with a few blankets and pillows.
"These are for Seto and Yami," Mr. Motou said as he placed them on the sofa.
"Come on, off to bed with all of you," Mr. Motou said.
"But Mr. Motou," Everyone started.
"Ah, I don't what to here it come on," he said. Everyone groaned but did as they were told. Mokuba said goodnight to Seto and went to the room. Everyone said goodnight and went to their rooms.
Yami and Seto were left to themselves.
"Um, you can have the sofa," Yami said.
"No it's okay you can have it," Seto said.
"You can have it Seto," Yami stated.
"No, Yami, it's okay. Besides it's too small," Seto stated.
Yami looked at the sofa and then at Seto he was right it was too small for him.
They agreed and got their blankets ready. Once Yami was done he looked back at Seto and he had already slipped into the blankets. He got in after he turned of the lights and said goodnight and was told goodnight by Seto.
Yami listen to the soft roar of the fireplace. He turned to look at Seto's face as it was lit up by the fire. Yami closed his eyes and again like all the nights before he was greeted by the strange dream. The dream had become clearer each night he dreamed, he would fight to stay in that dream world longer but each time he was thrown out, never getting a chance to see the person in his arms. He held a slender young man in his arms. He knew that now.
He himself was wearing formal clothing he would where in ancient Egypt, when he was Pharaoh. A skirt of sorts made of golden and crimson silk. On his chest, a breastplate of gold chains and rubies and diamonds, along his arms gold bracelets, depicting the symbol of Ra.
The young man he held wore an outfit similar to that of the Dark Magician; only it was white with blue and silver. His long legs held knee-length metal boot of silver, while a blue sash was tied around his waist. He wore silver manacles on his wrists, and he had no hood but a silver circlet with a sapphire at the center. His head was crowned with lush brown hair. He held him close and tight. He was starting to lean in to be able to see his face, which was still covered in shadows, but then he woke up.
Yami's eyes were snapped opened and he cursed. He was so close, so very close. He knew him, he knew it. He let out a sigh of frustration and was about to close his eyes once again when he heard a soft whimper.
Yami turned to see Seto tossing and turning, softly whimpering. His faced showed a look of dread.
Before Yami knew what he was doing, he climbed out off the sofa, and rushed over to Seto. He kneeled down and shook Seto lighting calling out his name.
Seto eyes snapped open, revealing the terror he felt inside. Seto quickly sat up, tears streaming down his cheeks and could not stop shaking.
"Seto" Yami sighed as he wrapped his arms around him. Seto allowed himself to be held by his once rival, and just nuzzled into Yami's neck.
Yami rocked back and forth holding Seto close with one arms around his waist and the other rubbing small circles on his back. Seto finally stopped crying and shaking.
Seto looked up and backed away from Yami.
"Are you okay?" Yami asked.
Seto silently cursed himself for showing his weakness, and yet as Yami wiped away a tear, he didn't seem to care. Seto nodded not trusting his own voice and stayed still. Yami could still see the fear in his eyes.
"We should go back to bed," Yami said waiting to break the silence, but quickly regretted it when he saw Seto's eyes widen.
He didn't was to go back to sleep. Then he meekly looked up at Yami.
"Yami could you stay?" Seto asked cryptically.
Yami understood and climbed in to the blankets. He wrapped his arms around Seto, and closed his eyes, promising him he would be there for him. Seto sighed and snuggled closer to Yami and finally closed his eyes, he felt safe.
