Kaiba sighed as the paperwork was finalized over his hostile take over. He was glad that was over. He hated it when they put up a fight and they had no chance. They were like addicts the way they begged. And when he finally put them out of their misery, they actually cried!

At least it was over. He was thankful for that so he could get home and rest. It was a long day. What with school, dealing with Jounouchi and enduring Anzu's glares all day, this meeting, the press and a Pharaoh that couldn't seem to keep his hands to himself, he was very tired.

He sighed; closing his briefcase and grabbing his coffee mug. Now that he had everything, he turned to walk into his office, but as soon as he set eyes on it, he froze. He could see his roses and wine from there.

He almost forgot about the whole 'roses and wine' ordeal. And the phone call. The mere thought of that violating voice over the phone made him shiver. That person had been watching him the whole time. Someone could see him and see what he was doing, what he was wearing and he couldn't see them at all. And to top it off, they wanted to get rid of Yami.

" Blue Eyes?"

" Gah!!"

Once again, Seto had been so busy thinking over that telephone call and the fact that he was being watched, that he didn't pick up that Yami had walked into the room. The slightly smaller Pharaoh was standing in front of him while he had thrown his mug in the air, dropped his briefcase and fallen into his chair at the head of the meeting table. No longer hot coffee had spilled on his sweater and was quickly staining.

" Yami? It's you…You scared the holy hell outta me."

Yami looked down at him frowning. He knew something was wrong. Nothing could make his koi that jumpy and he knew it. There had to be something to that phone call that he had been having and tracking to make him so anxious. He was jumping at the sound of his voice, he was paler than he naturally was, he was shaking and he was sure his heart was beating uncontrollably.

" Seto, this is starting to worry me. Tell me what's got you acting this way."

" It's not-"

" And if you say 'it's nothing' again I swear I will scream."

Seto bit his lip and looked away. He didn't want to tell Yami about the phone call. He had just been taken by surprise by it. It really shouldn't affect him this much. He got psycho calls all the time. Men, women, boys, girls, they all sent him flowers and candy and poetry. He was just overreacting and he didn't really need to involve Yami in this. He could handle it.

Yami knew that look. He was trying to keep it to himself to solve his problem on his own. But Yami wouldn't have it. No, this was affecting his koi and he intended to know and, if he had to, put a stop to whatever it was that had him acting this way.

He took hold of his chin and forced him to look up at him. He couldn't lie if he made him look directly in his eyes.  " Tell me."

Seto heaved a sigh. " The phone call I got before you came in here was from someone using a payphone on Omouno St."

" And?"

" And…whoever was on the other end of that line had sent the flowers. He said 'they matched my sweater. He could see me Yami. He knew what I was wearing and he knew what I was doing at the exact moment. I asked him what he wanted and he said 'me'. Then he said something about getting rid of you."

" Why didn't you tell me about this?"

" Because it was just one phone call. I've been getting calls like that ever since I became the CEO Yami."

" You said this person could see you and what you were doing at the exact moment of the phone call. That is not normal."

" Well, it won't happen again. So I just wanna forget about it okay?" Kaiba removed Yami's hand and walked back to his office.

Yami frowned and followed him." Seto, you can't just forget about it. You should have those flowers sent to the police and have the wine tested for some kind drug or poison."

" The only place these flowers are going is in the garbage. And this wine is going down the drain." Kaiba promptly swiped his hand across his desk and knocked the flowers off into the garbage.

" But that's evidence!"

" Of what?!"

" Your stalker!"

" My stalker?! Yami, I don't have a stalker. It's just some nut that has nothing better to do than play some prank on me."

Yami sighed and tried to crush the frustration building up in him. He didn't think this was going to be the last they saw of the 'little phone stalker' but he couldn't convince his koi otherwise. And maybe he was right, maybe this wouldn't happen again. Maybe he was just being jealous and paranoid. But he couldn't shake this feeling of evil intentions from all this.

" Magician?"

" Hm?" Yami had been so focused on trying to regain his composure and trying to figure this mess out, he forgot about Seto. The brunette was looking at him with concern.

" You spaced out. I was asking if you're ready to go."

" Oh. Sure, let's go."

******************

The ride home had been pretty much quiet. Yami sat back in the seat with Seto asleep in his lap and his head between his neck and shoulder. He had his arms around the slim dragon tamer and watched the streetlights go by and the skyline of the city as it lit up. He was glad that Seto had stopped shaking and he got his natural skin pigment back. And he was starting to feel better now that Seto was asleep. At least his dreams were peaceful.

Though, this stalker business was still in the back of his mind. He knew very well it could be just a one-time-thing; and it might not ever happen again. They may never hear from this person again.

But, and this was what bothered him, this stalker could return and wreak havoc on his precious Blue Eyes. And he wasn't going to let anyone or anything do that to him ever again. He went through hell, fire and brimstone to take care of his little brother, and Yami was willing to do the same to take care of him. And if this stalker persisted, he was going to face an angry King of Games.

Uh, ex-King of Games.

Once the limo had stopped in front of the large Kaiba Estate, Yami had to decide whether he wanted to wake Kaiba up or let him sleep. He looked so tranquil when he slept. He wasn't in anguish over the latest business deal or being assaulted with Anzu's glares and Joey's baits for arguments. He was just serene, sleeping Seto-chan.

Deciding he didn't have the heart to wake him, Yami gathered him in his arms and walked out of the limo. He already knew where his bedroom was. He'd been up there many times. Of course, sometimes they couldn't get to the bedroom and had to make due with the couch…

Once he reached the bedroom, after passing Mokuba in the living room, he laid his koi down on the sheets and went to go find him something to sleep in.

*******************

Seto was having such a nice dream. It was actually more of a memory. The past Spring Break when he and Yami went to his condo near the beach. Naturally, they never made it to the beach. They didn't even leave the house more than twice. Once to get food, again to get more whipped cream and strawberries.

He was reliving the memories there when he felt himself being moved. His first instinct was to panic and fight. But he caught the familiar scent of leather and the clank clank of something bouncing on a chain next to him. Yami had to be carrying him; so he just let him.

Now that he was on the bed, he decided to make Yami aware that he was awake. He yawned and rubbed his eyes in a childlike manner.

But before he could make a snide comment about Yami treating him in such a way, he caught sight of something brown on his bed. Curiosity getting the best of him, he grabbed it and looked at it.

It was a box of chocolate with a note attached.

This is to go with your stain, Seto-chan.
