First I just want to say that the reason behind writing this story is to
unveil this damn innocent façade I've been sporting my whole life. All
these things that I will never do or say because of all of my stupid
morals. I'm too shy to fuck up my life anymore. I just want anyone out
there reading this that knows how I feel, and knows how these characters
I'm portraying feel, that it's alright and you should hold on. Someone
knows your pain and that we all can get a grip if we just hold on tightly.
Thank you, I appreciate all of you guys' support.

The Consequence of Sin
Part Two: "Would You Like For Me To Kiss You?"
"So, Ryou, tell me, what seems to be troubling you?"
I rubbed my eyes of lingering tears before turning to look at the powerful CEO sitting beside me. We were now comfortably seated on a secluded bench under a sakura tree. A light autumn breeze blew gently through my hair, yet sent shivers down my spine. Dusk was drawing near and the winter months grew closer yet leaving a chill in the air. Absentminded as usual, I forgot to pick up a jacket on my way out. Noticing my discomfort, Kaiba removed his uncharacteristic sweater and handed it to me, revealing a tight black t-shirt underneath. "You're cold," he observed.
I nodded my thanks before putting on the oversized sweater and thinking through my answer I would have to give to Kaiba. What should I say? Could I trust him? I suppose I could state my problems anonymously... somehow.
"Well, you see, it's sort of like this," I sniffed wondering just how this was going to play out. I couldn't help but stare at Kaiba's finely sculpted upper body. He must work out in his own personal gym. He surely can afford it.
"Yes?"
I blushed realizing I had gotten caught up in my own fantasies before continuing my response. "I'm sorry," I whispered, "I became lost in a thought..." "Quite understandable," Kaiba replied with a grin. I grinned back, feeling strong enough to continue.
"I... like a person... but when I tried to find out if the person liked me back, that person... simply laughed..." I could feel my eyes once again pooling with white-hot tears threatening to be released. A choked sob restricted my throat from speaking anything else coherent. It was so embarrassing for me but I couldn't seem to stop the tears from streaming down my face.
Kaiba seemed unperturbed by my sudden display of emotion and simply began to stroke my soft ashen hair, telling me that everything would be okay.
I found it so hard to believe that Pharaoh Yuugi (Yami Yuugi) found this man to be such an arrogant, conceited bastard. In blind sorrow, I didn't even realize myself reaching up for the young CEO's embrace. After I had calmed down a bit, Kaiba moved his mouth to my ear and whispered quietly, "Would you like to come back to my home with me for an hour or so? So you can settle down a bit privately?" I was taken aback by his offer, but was pleased nonetheless. "Thank you, Kaiba," I whispered.
"I prefer Seto," he smirked, and through my tearstained sorrow, I found myself smiling back.
---
We walked to Seto's large and extravagant mansion in silence. But it wasn't an uncomfortable silence as if there was nothing to say, it was a rare moment of peaceful silence, and a strong layer of understanding hung over us. I felt content, walking alongside the important young man that stepped in sync right beside me. Every so often he would look down at me and grin, and I couldn't help but smile back. There was just something magical about the young man that was being so kind to me. I felt at peace for once today, whereas without his little interlude into the drama that is my life, I probably would have spent the night weeping pathetically.
"Here we are!"
I recognized the tall building immediately as Kaiba Manor. Who didn't know whose house this was? I believe anyone sane enough to be living in Domino in the first place would recognize this place. But I had never been inside. Nobodies like me were never even given the time of day to tour a place like this. But here I am, standing at the gates of the most important residence in the city of Domino, perhaps in all Japan.
"Shall we?" Seto grinned as he linked arms with me and I put on my most serious face. "We shall!" I tried using my most manly voice but that only caused the two of us to break into fits of laughter. I felt whole here with Seto, laughing with him as if we'd been companions for years. It was the kind of feeling that I had never felt with my yami, or even Yuugi- tachi. A feeling of complete trust and acceptance.
"Your home is beautiful, Seto!" I squealed as I entered the large double doors into a glorious main hall. Seto crossed his arms across his chest and watched me intently with a faint smile on his face as I twirled around, my arms spread-eagle like a bird. I'm sure I looked childish, but I am certain that Seto did not mind. I've felt more at peace with the world in these past twenty minutes with him than I had ever felt in my entire pitiful existence.
I soon grew dizzy and Seto laughed as he guided me toward the tea room. I collapsed onto the sofa in a fit of giggles, trying desperately to catch my breath. "I apologize, sir, for I have plagued you with my idiocy." I bowed unsteadily as my head still continued to spin. "Easy jester," Seto chastised teasingly as he sat me back down, "You're still dizzy." Even his warning could not prevent me of the ecstasy that was now pumping through my veins.
"Let me get you a drink," he stated as he slowly stood and left the room. I nodded to his back in thank you. That was rather silly of me considering he did not have eyes in the back of his head.
He came back minutes later with tea and a tray of crackers. "Oh thank you!" I praised him as I remembered dinner earlier. I had completely forgotten that I had not eaten. I took a sip of the tea and it tasted a bit peculiar, almost bitter. "What kind of tea is this?" I asked innocently as I nibbled on a cracker.
"It's from overseas," he replied smoothly, taking a sip himself. I shrugged and downed the glass feeling a bit lightheaded. I ignored the feeling, brushing it aside as being hunger. I scarfed down some more crackers hungrily and polished off two more cups of tea. I was feeling particularly hazy now and decided that I had had enough.
"Feeling better?" Kaiba asked as I wavered a bit in my sitting position. His words seemed distant but I nodded my head dumbly as he stood me up, and led me over, then sat me down with him on the loveseat. The picture didn't seem quite right as Seto put his arm around me and began to stroke me cheek.
"What are you..." I slurred. "Shh, Ryou," Seto shushed, "Would you like for me to kiss you?" I nodded absently as he put his mouth to my neck and began trailing kisses along it. I shrugged and let him proceed, but inside I didn't feel quite right. My thoughts were too jumbled to think rationally though. I didn't understand why.
The kissing seemed to last forever, his mouth exploring all over my body, I was all but welcoming the pleasurable sensations he was spreading over me until my head began to pound and the hazy feeling began to disperse. All at once, the seriousness of this situation registered in my head as Seto's hand began to slide up my shirt. In blind panic I pushed myself from Seto's grasp and wavered dangerously as I stood. I felt extremely nauseous just then and fell to my knees choking and sputtering as I threw up all of the crackers I had eaten so ravenously earlier.
I became very frightened as Seto lifted himself from the love seat and ran towards me shouting, "Ryou, are you alright?!" What would you care, you slimy bastard, you're the one who's caused all this... How could I have been so blind to the signs...? The uncharacteristic kindness, the familiarity, and most importantly the strange taste of my tea; Seto Kaiba was a dangerous predator, and I should have believed what Pharaoh Yuugi had told me so many times.
Grasping my heaving stomach in pain, I tried to stand to get away any way I could as Seto advanced me. I didn't even feel bad about soiling his expensive carpet. "Stay away from me!" I choked. "I trusted you, you bastard!" I screamed as Seto stood there dumbfounded. I ran out of the mansion as fast as my tired legs could carry me. "Ryou, WAIT!" Save it, you cruel and poor excuse for a human being. I cannot trust another soul, and now my innocence has been tainted because of you and you're dirty wandering hands and mouth. You can never be forgiven. Tears once again were fresh on my face, and I wiped at them angrily. Where was I to go now? I couldn't go back home and face Bakura. I wasn't ready to accept his painful laughter just yet.
"Malik," I sobbed as a plan formed in my jumbled brain. I would go to Malik. I could trust Malik. He was my best friend. And friends can help friends when they are in need... right? Now I'm not so certain...
To Be Continued...
Poor Ryou. What is going to happen to him next? Maybe he can find some solace with Malik. We know just how irresistible the little angel is. (Evil Grin)
