Set barely said two words as Joey carried the light to the med bay. He finally, when the other had put Seto down on a soft bed, managed to ask "is he, ok, i mean, ive never seen someone get so ill.." Joey blinked "eh, he'll be fine, i thinks its just a cold.."
Set nodded, looking downcast as he stood there. Joey looked round for one of the doctors, and Set stood by the bed, then carefully wound his fingers around seto's hand. "Cold.." he frowned. Joey turned "huh?" Set looked round, a frightened, concerned look written over his face, "his hands, they're icy..its gotten worse.."
Joey gave set a prod in the shoulder, "stay here, i'll go look for a doctor.." Set nodded, looking down at the hikari. "Aibou..please be alright..i dont like seeing you like this.." he placed a gentle hand on Seto's forehead, trying to cool down some of his pain, but he couldnt seem to help...
The next second Joey ran in, with the doctor trailing behind. "What the devil? Two of them?!", "Just get a move on man, the kaiba yer all know is da sick one!" The Yami stepped aside, barely hearing anything of the doctors words, but he felt some of his panic ease when he saw this man was intending to look after his precious light.
The doctor sighed "he will need plenty of rest, i've given him antibiotics, but what he really needs is rest.." The two nodded. Joey sighed, patting the worried Set on the shoulder "hell be fine man, dont worry about it, ya coming up the the party?" he asked, as the doctor walked out. Set shook his head. "No, i dont want to leave him alone....hes seen enough of that.." joey blinked, ashtonished at how much this spirit seemed to already know about Seto's past, even though he'd barely been there 2 hours straight...
"Okay man, see ya later.." Set nodded as the blonde strode out, then moved to stand beside his hikari. "Seto-kun..." he frowned. He sighed, sitting down in a chair by the bed, curling one hand around Seto's. As the minuties ticked by, the spirit gradually grew more and more sleepy, and eventually he rested against the bed, still holding onto the other's hand.
45 minuties later, Kaiba shifted slightly, he winced in pain, groaning softly as he sat up, his head ached. He thought he was alone, but then heard a familiar "mhh.." noise. He looked quickly down, seeing the Yami asleep, leaning on the bed, one hand curled loosley around his. -Why..why did he stay? why should he care..?- Kaiba felt a momentary surge of anger, hating to have -anyone- care about him, it was such a weak, futile thing to do, that only ever resulted in pain...
-But,- an inner voice said -you didn't push him away that time when he was holding onto you, it isnt so bad..- "no!" he croaked, determinedly freeing his hand then swinging his body down from the bed. "I wont allow it!" the next second his thoughts were interrupted, as sharp, stabbing pains suddenly assaulted his body. He grabbed the edge of the bed -what the hell is going on? w-why cant i move? i cant afford to be this weakened..- the moment he took a step away from the bed, the pain struck again. His legs buckled, and he ended up in a shivering heap on the floor, coat tangled around him. He closed his eyes, feeling the cool temperature of the floor soothing the heat from the fever. -agh...why?-
It was then he felt a hand gently rest on his back. And the other trying to help him sit up. he paniced, thinking it was someone attacking him, "no! let me go!" he tried to push the captor away, as one arm closed around hs waist, but a familiar voice stopped his actions "shh, its only me, Aibou-kun.."
The yami awoke, panicing when he couldnt fele the warmth of setos grasp. His gaze darted quickly around the room, and he spied his Seto-kun trying to walka way. He blinked, givign a worried gasp as he colalpsed. He ran over, wrapping his arms around the hikari, holding him.
The Aibou struggled, freaking out at his movement from the floor. But as the yami spoke, he opened his eyes, looking up at him "ah.." Sets miled "its Ok, its just me....please.." here he pulled setos body slightly towards him so he could lean against him, "you shouldnt be walking, your really sick aibou...modern healer said.."
Seto closed his eyes, barely hearing the Yami's words "let..me go.." he said, going red in embarassment. But the Yami didnt, if anything, he shifted himself slightly so Seto would be more comfortale "no, aiou, your cold, i wont let this bad cold get to you..." by now Kaiba couldn't have escaped even had he been strong enough. The yami was holding him tightly now, letting him rest against him. Kaiba started to doze off, he tried to go against it, but it was no use, he was just..too tired...
His eyes clsoed, and his breath steadied out from its painful struggle seconds ago. Just before he fell completely asleep, he felt Set kiss his cheek, and whsiepr "sleep, aibou-kun.." he wanted to object, but the warm feeling of the Yami's arms was too tempting. he at last feel into a proper sleep, and his yami sighed in relief.
"Aibou-kun.."
Half an hour later Yami began to worry, despite being warm, Seto was still quite sick. He glanced around, seeing the bottle of medicine the docotr had said he ahd to be given when he woke, to help him. He didnt want to release his aibou from his arms, but eh HAD to do smething for him. He pulled the senen rod from his pocket, hodling it up, trying to use its power to brign ti to him. "please work.." he begged, closing his eyes. the item shone a depe gold, and, by some miracle, when he oepened his eyes, yami was holding the bottle in his hand. "thank goodness..." he placed the rod down, usncrewing the bottle.
-Hes too tired to be woken up again, but how..?- the only other soloution came in a flash, but he worried about upsetting his aibou by trying it. -but i have..i ahve to..- he clsoed his eyes as he picked the bottle up. he looked down at hs lght -forgive me for this..- he drank a small amount, then kissed Seto, brushing his ahnd against the other's pale face, feeling panic sweep through him -please...dotn be afraid of me, just this once..-
Several frightening seconds later, the medication had been given, and yami stood up, holding seto "rest.." he placed him back on the bed, and started looking for something warm to cover him with. He blinked, remembering his coat was made from heavy material. he shrugged it off, wrapping the dark material around the curled up form on the bed, "thats better..." he sat back down on the chair, sighing sadly.
-I dont want to be apart from him..but hes so against letting someone care for him, i only want him to smile, and feel happy..- He leant on the bed, folding his arms, resting his head on them. Pretty soon he fell asleep himself..dreaming of flashes of the past, and of his future, who was there beside him, and battling a feversh darkness....
In his dreams, kaiba was plunged into a terrifing cold. Flashbakcs came think ad fast. THAT man, Gozaburo, laughing at Seto's futile attempts to push him away, constantly protecting Mokuba, as the numb cold seemed about to strangle him, he felt a hand grasp his wrist, he sat up, pulling free, giving a terrified yell "GET AWAY FROM ME GOZA-!!"..
"Who?" Kaiba freaked. As his mind slowly recognised. that. voice. He blinked, seeing Yami Yugi and Set standing right by the bed, Joey in the door way "who's go-", "never mind!" Kaiba snapped, swinging himself down and attempting to walk again. This only resulted in him wobbling over again, and, to top the embarassment, his Yami caught him again. He could only glare, hating this spirit for being so kind -he'll just be like all the rest- he thought, lowering his head slightly so his hair fell over his cold blue eyes...
He was shaking by this point, and Yami still held onto him. He heard Yami Yugi's voice "Kaiba? Whats wrong? You were having some sort of nightmare..." Joey interuupted, and what he said made kaibas very soul turn to ice "yer meant Gozaburo didnt ya? that guy.." "-please stop" Kaiba managed to cry, eyes shut, as if this would make that name fade "he's dead, i dont care!" Joey blinked "oh, sorry, i forgot he was-" "Joey" Yami Yugi said. Kaiba just stood there, leaning half against Yami, eyes closed, shaking slightly. Set frowned, seeing how the Aibou's hands were white from the stregnth of his grip...
"Aibou, relax..." Set murmered softly into the chocolate brown hair..,Joey bit his lip, he'd never seen Kaiba this nervous before, the guy seemed terrified of the mere mention of that name again. -i guess, his memories wont go away...not the way he acts..- He heard Yugi walk over to Kaiba, and speak softly, "That memory will never be real, you should go back to rest..." The ice blue eyes opened again, their owner trying to hide any fear.."ah.." he realised now what he looked like, standing in the grasp of his Yami, as if they were...his face went flame red, he took a step back, but his legs gave way, and he sat down again, coughign slightly, the stabbing pains returned.
"Agh.." he sat on the floor, huddled up from the strange pain. He heard Joey and Yami Yugi panicing. "Get a doctor", "Kaiba-kun!". "I..i'm fine...." he got up, and felt an arm slide around his waist, pulling him to lean against them. He gave up then, too muddled by sickness and fright to figure out what this spirit wanted of him.
Set looked at the pale, feverish Aibou "ill take him to his room, it might be easier for rest.." Yami Yugi nodded, Joey the smae "careful man.." "get enough rest kaiba-kun.." once out in the corridor, Yami swept an arm under kaibas legs, carrying him. Seto tried to object, but that seemed to only make him feel worse, so he relaxed into the warm grasp, this somehow easing the pain from the memories, as if this was what he had missed during those years...
-but..i...cant be....cant..ever..- he passed out in his partners arms before he could try to form another thought...
Set carried the sleeping partner to his room, placing him on the bed. He gently managed to slide Seto's coat from his body, and went on a hunt for more blankets, which he lovingly tucked around his cute little descendant. He places the white overcoat on a chair, and looked down at the heavily bundled up hikari. He felt the same overwhelming desire to stay beside him, and found himself curling up close to seto atop the covers, wrapping an arm protectively over -HIS- hikari.
As he dozed off himself, he finally managed to say, in his mind, what he had realised..-I don't want you to be sad Aibou-kun, now i realsie...I Love You- he managed to kiss Seto's forehead gently just before he fell asleep....
K-C: waii! -bows- Arigatou for the reviews, this is my first ever yaoi story, but the Seto/Set couple has always been my faveourite, so i hope my story is going to keep growing, and make some smile! see you next update! -vansihes-
