The morning had barely dawned when Seto finally woke up. His head still hurt, but he felt stable enough, and very warm...he opened his eyes slowly, his vision blurring slightly as he tried to focus it.
"Where..?" after a few seconds he realised it was his own quarters, and he also realised the weight of someone's arm across his body. He blinked, realising as he turned to look.... just who it was. Sure enough; Set. The hyper Yami was now fast asleep, scootched as close to Seto as was possible thanks to all the blankets, and had an arm draped round him, as if he wanted to hold him close while he slept...Kaiba's face burned, what was this spirit playing at? Didnt he know whose Yami he was? -I've never let anyone care for me before, so i won't do it now...
He forced himself to sit up, nudging Set's arm off him. He sighed, resting his head on his knees, -Why..? Why isnt he afraid at all? Does he even THINK about all the things that could happen..? Anytime ive ever cared for anyone, its been practically dissterous..- He looked down at his side, where his 'partner' was sleeping, curled up upon the bed, a smile on his face...
He sighed, closing his eyes again....just letting the darkness that forever seemed to follow him, take him in...
Yami sighed in his sleep, and felt slightly miffed when the warm body hed been asleep next to moved. "Mhh...Aibou?" he mumbled, sitting up. He caught a glance at an irritated expression "Set. What. were. you. trying?" Yami blinked "i was keeping you warm, and..." he looked down, "i wanted to keep that loneliness you seem to have away.." these innocent words hit Kaiba hard, to one point it was everything he'd once hoped for, on the other, it was just another lie..right?
"Ah..i dont need, nor want, anyone with me, ive always been alone, i can live that way!" his voice shook slightly, and he hitched in a breath. Set sighed, feeling saddened by his Aibou's misery, but, he -would- do anything for his light...
"I'll go back then, since i'm only in your way.." he mumbled, and before Seto could think to stop him, the other's form had vanished back to the Rod. Seto stared, feeling even worse then before..some inner part of him started up again -he was only caring for you, yet you asked him to leave?- he closed his eyes, placing a hand on his chest, trying to ease the sudden pain that had started up. -i cant hide what i think...it DID feel nice, having soemone who wanted to stay beside me because of who i was..my past didnt matter to him, he said he wanted to protect me...why am i always so angry because of this....Set..-
He knelt on the bed, placing a hand on the Rod..his hair fell into his deep blue eyes as he closed them, the other hand clenching in his lap. "I'm.." he stopped, "I'm Sorry, i shouldn't have asked...you to go...i just don't want to hurt anyone by my own carelessness...i'm sorry...i can understand if you want to stay in there....but, i wanted to apollogise for being rude.." his head pounded painfully, this had to be the first time he'd ever felt so miserable..it was years of unused emotion, feelings he'd forced himself to hide, and now were showing up all because of one innocent kind gesture...
Because of -him-....
He jumped a second later, as a hand brsuhed the side of his face. He opened his eyes quickly, seeing the likeness that was his Yami sitting opposite him, the hand gently placed against his face. The Yami was sitting very close to him, two pairs of arctic ice blue eyes looked right into each other. Then Set spoke, looking at Seto with an unwavering look of protectiveness in his eyes. "I said i'd do anything for you when i first appeared, and i want to make sure you dont feel this sad, it worries me to see you alone.."
Kaiba looked at him "b-but, dont you ever feel afraid of losing someone?" Set nodded "of course i do, but i just enjoy the time i get..thats why each hour with you has made me feel happy, you're the most special thing to me aibou.." Seto just stared back at him, this seemed too good to be anything other than a dream...Set wanted to stay beside him, despite all the things he'd done, now and in his past...
"But...i.." the Yami shook his head, moving the hand so he could press two fingers over Seto's mouth, stopping him from talking. "The past doesnt make a difference, i'd care about you even if you hated me, and avoided me every second..i care about YOU, not what you've done..." and as Kaiba looked shellshocked from this, Set leaned foreward, and, brushing the hand against the warm skin of his Aibou's face again, kissed him properly.
Kaiba blinked, a little astonished. Two halves of his mind gave two different resposnes..one part wanted him to back away, shake his head and deny it, but the other part, the one that had for so long been locked away, wanted nothing more then to treasure this. By his own measure, Seto gave into the the latter, and closed his eyes, leaning against Yami as he kissed him, knowing how much he must be blushing at this point, but somehow, it no longer mattered...
After a few seconds Yami, somewhat reluctantly, released him. Seto stared at him, seeing a no doubt identical blush over his face, and a gentle smile. Set moved his arms, wrapping them around Seto's waist "are you OK, aibou..?" seto nodded, stunned a little "Y-yes..". Set smiled, leaning in to nuzzle Kaiba's hair, whispering "I love you".
As Seto opened his mouth to respond, the door was flung open, and a young voice yelled "OK, that's enough, what're you doing to my brother?!". Seto freaked, as the vocie's owner tackled him around his middle as he knelt on the bed. Yami had to let go fast or else get hit. Mokuba clutched his brothers waist, glaring at Set, who looked blank. "Who are you?" Set asked gently.
Mokuba glared, as his older brother tried to say something, but could only sqeak at the tight grip around his middle. "-I'M- Mokuba Kaiba, Seto's younger brother, Yugi told me about -YOU-" Set blinked "ah, you're Mokuba!". He smiled "its nice to meet you, your big brother thinks of you as his most precious person.." this helped soften little Mokie up, knowing this spirit knew how much he and Seto shared.
By now Seto was finally able to speak, "M-mokuba, d-dont be mad at Set...he's.." then he suddenly facefaulted. "Wait, how long were you standing outside that door...?" Mokuba grinned "the whole time you two were..'talking'" Seto's face, and Set's too, went a deep shade of red. So Mokie dear /HAD/ seen them. oh. gah.
But Mokuba was a smarter kid then many gave him recognition, he wanted, like the Yami, for his brother to be happy, and if this strange spirit was what it took, then he wouldnt try to stop it, but there was one thing...
Mokuba looked sternly at Yami Kaiba "You better look after my brother OK!" he said defensively, still clinging to Seto. Set looked startled a second at the kids ease of acceptance, but then he smiled. "I'll do everything to make sure he's happy.." Seto went an even deeper shade of red then, /still/ unused to hearing such kind words adressed to him, he was still trying to come to terms with the Yami's unwavering devotion...
Mokie smiled, seieng how red in the face his brother was. "Good! You make sure ya do!". "Mokie!!" Seto said, alarmed, "what?", "dont be rude!" Seto sqeaked. Mokie blinked "Sorry..". but Set smiled "its OK, i can understand where your coming from kiddo, and dont worry, i'll /never/ leave your bro alone...ever.." Mokie grinned, jumping down from the bed and runinng happily off. "Wait till the guys see this, its so cute!", "AGHH!" Kaiba squeaked "MOKUBA!!!!!" he sweatdropped, "ah, now i'll never hear the end of it, Joey'll take this mickey, Yugi will just be all "i told ya so" and the rest.." he shook his head in total despair.
Set blinked, then chuckled, scooting back up close to Seto again "who cares what they think?.." he kissed Seto's cheek "i love you and only you..if any of them dare to say anything to my precious Aibou-kun.." he trailed off "i won't let them get away with it..". Seto blinked, seeing Yami's defensive eyes, and smiled "its OK, they're just a strange lot....don't worry, im used to them acting weird around me, they always have done.." he sighed...
But, how /WAS/ he going to face them?
