"You fool; Seto and Setti are one and the same."
"What?" Yami said.
"You still don't get it, do you? You may be the King of Games but you can be real dense sometimes," Bakura said.
"What how do you know all of this?" Yami asked before believing anything he said.
"The difference between you and me, Pharaoh, was that I chose not to forget. I chose to live in the Shadow Realm, and become stronger not like you, who chose to forget and locked himself away so to not deal with the pain," Bakura said.
"What, I chose to forget, why?" Yami asked.
"Because you lost someone, so did I, two actually," Bakura said.
"Setti," Yami said as he came to the bed to sit down.
"Yes, things are becoming quite clear, aren't they," Bakura said as he leaned on the wall.
"How were you certain he was Setti?" Yami asked.
"My Millennium Item, Pharaoh, it allows me to see into people's souls," Bakura answered.
"But you and Joey, you were willing to send him to the Shadow Realm. If you truly remember everything then, why were you willing to send him away, you loved him then," Yami said as he stood.
"Yes I did, and I love him now, get that through you head once and for all," Bakura hissed.
"Then why? You must have figured out who he was before you tried to send us away," Yami stated.
"You hadn't lived like I did. For thousands of years, I lived in the Shadow Realm, and as you recall it isn't the best place to be, there darkness everywhere and if you let, it can make your nightmares came to life. When you could be out here, instead of being trapped in a world in which you never age, you can't help but become cold hearted," Bakura said.
"It doesn't explain..." Yami started.
"I was beginning to fall in love with him all over again; I thought that if I separated him from me now, it wouldn't hurt so much. You remember the pain, do you honestly ever want to feel that again," Bakura stated.
"If it meant that if the one I loved would love me in return, yes, you felt that before, being loved like that," Yami said.
"I didn't have any guarantee that he would love me," Bakura said.
"You knew full well he loved you, you could see into his soul," Yami stated.
"I wasn't sure. I thought I saw what I wanted to see," Bakura whispered.
"He meant the world to me, then and my world fell apart when I lost him and Setti," he continued.
"Setti was your closest friend," Yami stated.
"He was like a brother to me; he was the only one who truly knew how it felt to be in my situation. Why you think I never hurt him?" Bakura said.
Yami thought for a second it was true. Bakura had never done anything to actually harm Seto.
"You were willing to send the one you love to the Shadow Realm but you were willing to hurt him," Yami asked confused.
"I see into people's souls remember. I saw everything he was going through, I really didn't want to add to the pain. Besides I thought he been tortured enough as it was," Bakura said.
"Yes he was," Yami whispered with anger in his voice, as he recalled what Seto had told him before.
"He's told you some of his past," Bakura said.
Yami nodded at the statement.
"Did he tell you about Marik?" Bakura asked.
"Marik tried something?" Yami asked.
"Yes, but he under estimated Seto's strength, this time around, he defended himself well from him. He didn't need you to came and save him like before," Bakura said.
"Marik, that bastard, even now he lust after him," Yami hissed.
Yami eyes soften when he thought about his beloved, how everything was falling into place in his mind. The nightmare; he had come back, after he felt Setti screaming for him in his mind. He raced back to his chambers; to find a lustful Marik pinning down his frighten love tearing his clothes off. That's how everything started, everything that lead up to the end, beginning of his suffering and his pain.
"So are you going to tell him you love him?" Bakura asked drawing back from his thoughts.
"Why do you care? You don't even like me," Yami stated.
"No I don't like you Pharaoh, but he does. You make him happy, and I want him to be happy," Bakura said.
"Even now you care for him as if he was your brother," Yami stated.
"Even though he doesn't remember me, he has never insulted me or Ryou yet he has insulted the rest of you, when the darkness took over him and even after. So part of him still remembers me, he would never hurt me willingly," Bakura said.
Yami just sat back down on the bed and looked at his feet, he didn't know whether to tell Seto or not. It was true he was flirting with him and that kiss they had shared earlier had been intense and he would gladly share another one with him and only him but was Seto ready to love him.
"I leave you to your thoughts, I have someone outside waiting for me," Bakura said as he walked to the door and quickly opened it. Joey came tumbling in looking rather embarrassed.
"He beat you again didn't he," Bakura said.
"Yes," Joey pouted.
"He is Seto's little brother, he would have some of his skills," Bakura said as he bent down to look at him. Joey seemed to have forgotten his embarrassment and continued to pout over his loss.
"I leave you two," Yami said quickly and walked out closing the door behind him.
"Joey, how much did you hear?" Bakura asked.
Joey looked up at his lover with mock innocent eyes.
"Nothing much, just after the part where Yami was talking about Marik lusting after Seto or something like that, besides I only heard every other word because Tea keeps complaining about her ankle," Joey said as he stood up.
"She will never change," Bakura sign as he shook his head lightly.
He walked up to his boyfriend and wrapped his around loosely around his neck.
"You're lucky I love you, or I would seriously be mad at you," Bakura said as he looked up to his boyfriend to kiss him lightly.
Joey was happy, he had seen Bakura seriously mad at him before, it was the worst week of his life. Bakura hadn't talked or even looked at him. It took hours of begging and seducing to even get him to look at him.
He wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him closer and took satisfaction in making Bakura moan, when he deepened the kiss. Bakura pulled away to breath and marbled at how good his lover could be, he was just as skillful as he was back then.
Joey touched Bakura's face and played with his hair, ruling his fingers through it. Bakura enjoyed when Joey did this to him, it calmed his down when he was tired, and he simply closed his eyes and took pleasure in Joey's touch.
"Bakura, who did you love back in Egypt?" Joey asked.
Bakura opened his eyes to look at Joey. There was so much love in his eyes, but he found a bit of sadness and worry in them.
"Why do you ask?" Bakura said.
Joey bit his lip and took a deep breath.
"I just wondering about it, it came up in the duel game. Tea said some thing about hoping to be Yami's past life lover or something like that, then she asked me if I know who was your past life lover was. And if you still loved him or her or if you would go back to them, if you saw them again," Joey said.
Bakura blinked and smiled at him.
Joey was worried that he might leave him.
Bakura slipped out of Joey's arms and lead him to the bed were they sat down.
"You honestly want to know who I loved back then." Bakura asked.
Joey took another deep breath and nodded not trusting his own voice.
"I loved a young Captain of the Guards. He was strong and handsome, but he could be such a fool at times. I remember, he was so protective of me and so sweet, and he would try so hard to get me to notice him, when in reality I already loved him. I loved him so much, I don't think I could ever love anyone else like that again," Bakura said with love in his voice.
Joey looked like his was about to cry.
Bakura looked at him and gave him a sweet smile.
"His name was Jono, but now a days he goes by is Joey."
Joey blinked at him and grinned after a while; he wrapped his arms around Bakura and quickly placed him on his lap and started to kiss him tenderly, tasting him with a passion. They broke the kiss but kept their faces close, he tightened his hold on Bakura as if holding on to dear life.
Bakura slipped a hand and light ran a finger across his cheek.
"I love you," Bakura whispered.
"I love you, too," Joey whispered back.
Bakura smiled and frown for a bit and he wept a tear that escaped from Joey's eyes.
"I honestly though, for a bit, if he ever came back I would lose you," Joey sighed.
"Damn that Tea for putting such thoughts in your head," Bakura cursed.
"She's just bitter because Yami doesn't love her," he continued.
"Sh, I don't want to think about anyone else, just you," Joey said as he silenced Bakura with a kiss. They stayed kissing softly for a while, as the everyone else continued their doings outside.
Seto was with Mr. Motou, a silent Yami and a watchful Mokuba, Tea was complaining about being sleepy. Seto and Mr. Motou wanted to laugh at that. Yugi and Ryou were holding each other tenderly and looking at the fire, while Tristan held Serenity and looked at the window at the falling snow.
Hope you like it.
There really wasn't any Yami and Seto romance in this chapter but I felt I need to clear up somethings.
