Seto sat at the island drinking a cup of black coffee. It was about five thirty, and he wanted to think. Hearing soft footsteps, dark eyes darted to the side to see Keiko standing there in her clothes from yesterday. The two blonde bangs and long brown hair a mess.
He went back to his coffee and Keiko turned on the kettle and put a teabag in a coffee mug, "he didn't mean it."
Seto sighed; she was referring to the bruises on her cheekbone and wrist, "I know."
"Daddy, what's going on between you two? I haven't seen Papa this upset, ever, not even when Grandpa Mouto died." Keiko referred to the time when both he and Yuugi were depressed for months after that.
"We're having trust problems. I think I'm going to give him his gift early, that or, go away for a while so he can just be alone. Maybe both."
Keiko's shoulders slumped, "Don't go away Daddy, that would hurt Papa even more."
Seto sighed again, "I know, but, I just get the feeling he needs me to leave him alone."
"Go back to sleep Daddy, you barely drank your coffee, besides, maybe Papa would like it if you were there when he wakes up." Keiko said as she sipped some of her tea.
"How did I end up with a romantic daughter?" Seto questioned as he poured the coffee out.
"I hang out with Hotaru and Hathor too much." The girl stuck the tip of her tongue out at her father and smiled before sipping her tea again.
The CEO went up the steps and into his bedroom. He climbed into the silk sheets and noticed they were still somewhat warm.
"You left again." Jou muttered from the pillow.
"How long have you been awake?" Seto asked him, while stroking the soft gold hair.
"A little while." The blond murmured again before pulling away.
"Jou..."
"What's going on Seto? Why are you hiding things from me? Did I do something wrong?" Jou sat up and pulled his knees to his chest.
"No, you didn't do anything wrong koinu. Here, I was going to save this for our anniversary in a few weeks, but, I figured it would help now instead." At this he pulled out a small box with a small purple bow one it.
Jou opened it and glanced at the charm.
"Our eyes, plus the twins birthstone. I figured you would like it." The CEO smiled slightly.
Jou turned and threw himself at the brunet's waist. Seto wrapped his arms around the blond immediately.
"That still doesn't explain why you had perfume and cologne on your clothes."
Seto smirked and explained what he had to Yuugi, Yami and Anzu last night.
"That's why I didn't tell you, or else it would have ruined me getting you that. You would have insisted on coming with, then I wouldn't have been able to- mmph!"
Jou had grabbed the back of Seto's head and pulled him down for a kiss. The two engaged in a brief game of tonsil hockey.
"You owe me big time for this. I got drunk because of it." Jou said breathlessly when the separated.
Seto smirked and pushed the blond into the bed.
"Hear anything?" Akira asked his sister who had her ear pressed against the door. She had better hearing then he did.
"We better leave the house."
"You're kidding? They're screwing now? Man, Papa must really need it." Akira muttered following his sister down the steps as a moan was heard.
Jou walked into Bakura's kitchen with a large grin on his face.
"I take it the hot monkey sex idea Anzu suggested worked?" Yami asked when Seto walked in behind Jou. Seto just smirked before pulling the blond into his lap.
"So, how many times? Akira and Keiko came over here at six in the morning." Bakura asked and Jou hid his face in Seto's neck.
"You two are the strangest couple I've ever met." Marik muttered.
"You're the one who wanted to kill off your husband when we were younger." Bakura muttered.
"He nearly did too," Malik murmured and Marik nipped at his throat apologetically.
"How are Isis and Rashid by the way?" Ryou asked him while elbowing his spouse.
"They are fine, Ai's going to go visit them this spring."
"Cool. Whoa, Jou, that's an awesome charm."
Jou beamed and kissed Seto's neck.
I'm a freaking idiot!
Faye: I told you to look that up...
