Mog: I'm back with a brand new chap! Look it's all shiny!
Seto: Get on with it already!
Mog: Patience! Or you will suffer the consequences! Now disclaim.
Seto: (grudgingly) She doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, anything in this fic, or the computer.
Mog: Good boy. (pats)
Chapter 2:- Sweet Memory Lane
FLASHBACK
"Seto, is this really it? I mean, we'll still see each other after college right?" Yami asked, hooking his arm around Seto's waist as they made their way to Seto's car. They had just graduated, and were heading home.
"Of course we'll see each other silly. Don't be a - how did Yugi put it… oh yeah – a silly goose." Seto quirked, pulling his koi into a brief hug before getting into the car. Yami got into the other side, and he drove their way back to the Kaiba mansion in silence. They pulled up outside, went inside, and Seto went about working on KaibaCorp's new project. Yami sat down on the sofa and flipped onto the music channel. It was the MTV Europe Music Awards, and at the moment one of Yami's favourite bands, Evanescence, was performing. He laid on his front and got comfortable to watch it. He knew Seto hated concerts and award shows, but he loved watching people perform. He dreamt of becoming a performer, a singer preferably. He could sing and he knew it. He looked around the front room, which was littered with mementos of Seto's success. You wouldn't have been able to tell that Yami had won awards for performing or anything like that. He had three trophies, which he was proud of, but even though Seto always promised to put them up somewhere special, he never saw them. He wondered if this was where his life was headed. To live in Seto's shadow. He wouldn't stand for it! He leapt off the sofa, leaving Evanescence to sing My Immortal to an empty room, and stormed up to Seto's study.
"Where are my performance-awards Seto?" He demanded
"Over there." Seto muttered, waving a hand towards a cupboard. Yami marched over to the cupboard and threw it open. There, in a small box on the bottom shelf, were Yami's awards.
"So THIS is putting them somewhere special? You know how much these meant to me!"
"Oh come on, it's a couple of stupid trophies that wont get you anywhere in life, just like your stupid idea to be a singer. It's never going to happen and you know that." Yami took a step backwards, hurt. He then ran from the room, grabbed his bag which wasn't unpacked yet and ran down towards the car park. Seto ran after him, realising what he said. He caught the door of the car Yami was getting into.
"What are you doing?" Yami exclaimed.
"Stopping you. I thought that would be obvious." Seto sighed, "I didn't mean it Yami. Come on, get out the car. Let's talk about this. Please?"
"No." Yami slammed the car door and drove off. He pulled into a gas station 20 miles away and phoned Yugi, leaving a message on his mobile, telling him that he was going to New York. Then he drove off, tossing away all memories of Domino City.
END FLASHBACK
"Yami, you're looking well." Seto said, while the other guys bought merchandise, to give them a moment alone.
"So are you Seto. It's good to see you." Yami gulped and held back a few tears.
"You did it then? Just to prove me wrong I guess." Yami couldn't take it anymore.
"It always has to revolve around you doesn't it Kaiba! I shouldn't perform because YOU said so; I only did it to spite YOU! Well news flash Mr-I'm-the-only-one-that-matters, you stop having any effect on my life over a year ago! You don't matter to me anymore!" Yami screamed at Seto before starting to cry. Seto wrapped his arms around Yami while said Pharaoh pounded weakly on his chest. "You don't matter"
"Shh." Seto whispered, pulling him closer, when all of a sudden, a certain someone threw him off of Yami and backwards onto his car.
"Keep your hands off him! Don't you think you've done enough damage?" Otogi yelled, pulling Yami close. "You alright hunny?" Yami nodded and leaned into him. He wrapped his arms around Otogi.
"What's going on? Since when has Yami been going with Otogi? Since when has Otogi been in New York?" Seto demanded.
"Seto, Otogi took Yami in when he ran away. They got together about two weeks after that. Otogi's really been taking care of Yami. He even sponsors Yami with Dungeon Dice Monsters." Yugi explained.
"Can we go back to the hotel?" Mai asked.
"You can all come back to mine. There's plenty of room for everyone. Even Seto" Yami muttered.
"Let's go!" Joey exclaimed
Mog: Short again. Damn. And this will turn out SetoYami, it will! I promise! I'm just building a story idea.
Seto: Hurry up and get past the idea.
Mog: It was you that blew Yami off.
