Chapter Ten

Yugi was ecstatic!

They were going to play Duel Monsters, eat the cake that him and Yami had made together and maybe.....do something else.

Yugi was searching his brain, trying to think of something else to do that he thought that Yami and Seto could actually do and not kill each other while they were at it, well, there was nothing that he could think of.

Yugi was sitting on the couch, his head in his hand as he squinted up at the ceiling.

He had no clue how the night was going to end, I mean, Seto and Yami was probably not going to make it through the duel without wringing one of the other's necks!

Yugi shivered as he pictured Seto and Yami glaring at each other one minute and in the next , Seto was chasing Yami with a knife and Yami was throwing stuff at him as he chased him around the house.

Yugi sqeauked as someone sat down beside him, "Are you okay?"

He sighed and relaxed as he looked into Seto's blue eyes, "I'm alright."

Seto smiled, "Too much thinking doesn't suit you."

Yugi didn't know if he should be offended or what at Seto's remark, "Um, what's that supposed to mean?"

Seto grinned as he reached up and grabbed Yugi's chin in his hand, "I meant, you are not meant to frown. You were meant to smile that lovely smile of yours."

Yugi's eyes widened as he thought about what Seto said, "That lovely smile of yours." He had said his smile was lovely!

Wait a minute, did he have his hand on his face???

Yugi gasped as he jerked his chin out of Seto's hand and blushed as he whispered, "Um....thank you, Seto."

Kaiba laughed as he leaned back on the couch and casually crossed his legs, "You're most welcome, Yugi. I love giving you compliments."

Yugi was looking down at the floor and hoping that Yami would come down the stairs pretty soon, he wasn't scared of Seto like he used to be but he was scared of him for a different reason.

He was starting to like him.

Yugi breathed a sigh of relief as he heard Yami's footsteps on the stairway and his deep, strong voice, "You ready to duel, Kaiba?"

Yugi looked at Yami, saw a blazing fire in his eyes that he had never seen before, he turned around to look at Seto and he saw a similar fire in his blue eyes, "I'm always ready, Yami. You should know that, by now."

Seto grabbed his case of cards that he had by his feet and Yami sneered as he shuffled his cards in his hands, "Just making sure that you didn't want to back out. Knowing the coward you are, I thought you'd back out at the last second."

Yugi gasped at Yami's cutting remark and looked over at Seto who looked as cold as ever but he noticed a corner of Seto's mouth twitch as he growled, "Let's just duel."

Yugi didn't like the way this was going so he quickly whispered, "Um, guys. Can we do something else right now? I don't think....."

Yami was glaring into Seto's eyes and he looked like he wanted to tear him from limb to limb as he snarled, "No! I'm going to beat this poor excuse of a man, once and for all!"

Seto coldly stared back into Yami's eyes but quickly glanced at Yugi, who was about to cry, he didn't want them to fight!

Yugi was about to cry but he was fighting it, he didn't want to upset Yami and well, he didn't want them to fight and hurt each other either.

Yugi closed his eyes and was expecting Yami and Seto to start fighting any minute, it was inevitable and Yugi couldn't do anything to stop it!

"I don't think it would be wise to do it now. Maybe another time?"

Yugi opened his eyes and looked up into Seto's cold blue eyes that held no emotion at the moment and Yugi couldn't tell what he was thinking as he stared at Yami, his voice as biting and sharp as his eyes, "It will be at a suitable time and a suitable place."

Yami looked skeptical and asked, "Do you promise me that you will?"

Seto raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Do I ever not keep my word?"

Yami crossed his arms and smiled, "Okay. I guess you'll keep your word."

Seto looked at Yugi and winked at him, knowingly, "I always do."

Seto stood up and was about to go back to his room but was stopped by Yugi jumping up and grabbing ahold of his elbow, "Um, wait! Can you eat the cake that me and Yami made with us?"

Seto grinned but his eyes still stayed cold and icy, "It's whatever Yami wants."

Yugi looked at Yami who still had his arms crossed and a frustrated look on his face but he sighed as he gave in, "Yeah, whatever! I don't care what he does."

Yugi smiled as he kept a firm hold on Seto's elbow, dragged him over towards the dining room and grabbed Yami's hand as he went, "Let's eat!"

Yami and Seto both sat on opposite sides of Yugi, every once in a while glancing at each other and the occasional sneer here and there but most of their attention was on Yugi who was laughing, jabbering away and smiling up at both of them.

He was happy that they were at least sitting at the same table together and was actually acting like they were loosening up around each other.

Yugi jumped up out of his chair and ran up the stairs, yelling all the way, "I know a game we can play!!!"

He dragged his chair that was in front of his desk to his closet, stretched to reach the Scrabble game that was in the top of his closet and ran to the top of the stairs.

He stopped as he stared at Seto and Yami who was both not looking at each other, their backs to each other, Seto's legs crossed, his chin in one of his hands as he glared at nothing in particular and Yami was looking up at the ceiling, tapping his fingers on the table, impatiently.

Yugi smiled as he watched their expressions.

Yami was a passionate, strong and careing man, the type that would carry your burdens with you, be there when no one else would be and comfort you through your storms and tears.

Seto was a cold, stern, uncaring and calculating man on the outside, a front so that no one would see his true self. The person that Yugi had been able to glimpse. He was troubled, tormented, longing to be loved and wanting someone to care.

Yugi whispered, "Well, I care......about them both."

Yugi shouted as he ran down the stairs, "I've got it!"

Seto and Yami both looked up at Yugi and smiled at the same time.

Yugi sat the game on the table and smirked, "The great game of Scrabble!"

As Yugi got the game ready, he grinned, happily as he thought, 'I'll take care of them both. I will."
