A?N: Gomen-nasai for the long update! And no I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh. DUH!Here's the story.

"Yami you home?" yelled Yuugi from below.

Yami walked out of their bedroom, and walked down the stairs. His blood red eyes seemed to have a hint of sadness in them. A tinge of longing, and a hint of self loathing. Hating himself for being in love with Seto after all the years that had passed and hating himself because he felt like he was cheating onYuugi. All the feelings that he held for the younger teen evaporated when Seto Kaiba walked back in his life, resurfacing old feelings.

"Yami, are you okay?" askedYuugi from the bottom of the stairs. Yami forced a smile on his face and nodded his head.

"I'm alright, aibou. You don't have to worry about me," Yami replied walking down the stairs.

"I worry about you because you weren't at school for the remainder of the day and disappeared. You're faking that smile and because I love you," Yuugi said. "You're the most important person to me. Don't I have the right to worry about you?"

Yuugi held back his tears though it was obvious by the way his amethyst eyes seemed to shine more and his lips slightly quivered. Yami frowned.He never wanted to hurtYuugi. He never imagined that he would be a reason Yuugi cried. He was Yuugi's protector,his lover, and his friend. Damn Kaiba for ruining his life.

Walking down the stairs, Yami wrapped his arms around his lover.At Yami's touch Yuugi cried.Yami breathed in Yuugi's scent, stroked his hair, and whispered useless non-sense that usually calmed Yuugi down. And this technique had yet to fail.

"Hikari, how about we eat dinner and then I'll show you something new," Yami whispered.

Yuugi looked up, his tears slowly coming to a stop. "Promise?"

"Promise. Now lets go eat. I'm hungry." Yami scooped Yuugi up and carried him to the kitchen.

Yami watched as Yuugi cooked their meal. His lover was utterly perfect but he didn't feel anything. At least not anymore. And he dreaded what would be happening tonight, though he usually loved to pleasure the amethyst eyed teen in front of him. Instead he wanted to be dominated. He wanted to be the uke for once. But not by Yuugi Motou. No. He wanted to be dominated by Seto Kaiba. CEO of Kaiba Corps and his best friend in what seemed like a life time ago.

He could feel Kaiba's cerulean gaze on his body. His long fingers leaving feather soft caresses on his body, teasing him, causing Yami to want more. Kaiba's lips soft yet rough, and Kaiba would force his tongue inYami's mouth eliciting moans. Kaiba would softly kiss his skin, leaving him hot all over, and sometimes Kaiba would bite his skin, suck on his skin, marking Yami as Seto Kaiba's property. He would moan as Kaiba sucked him, scraped his teeth on him, and deep throated him. Oh how he wanted Kaiba.

Feeling his pants tighten, Yami grabbed Yuugi and forced the younger to stop his cooking. Oh Yami was horny now and he highly doubted Yuugi could satisfy him but he would have to do until Kaiba dominated him. Yami forced him mouth on Yuugi's and Yuugi complied when Yami's tongue asked for entrance. The kiss broke and Yami carried Yuugi to their room, throwing Yuugi on the bed as he stripped himself.

(Sorry no lemon cuz I prefer Yami/Seto lemons.)

An hour later

Their dance ended an hour later when Yuugi and Yami both orgasmed. But when they finished Yuugi kicked Yami out of their room and Yami knew perfectly well why. He had moaned Seto's name as he came. And he had witnessed Yuugi's sad expression. He had caused Yuugi to cry twice in one day. It must of been a record.

Yami walked out of the bathroom wearing tight black leather pants and a dark blue wife beater, and socks. He walked towards the door, slipping on his boots, and exited the Kame Gameshop.

A slight wind blew Yami's spiky hair. His blond bangs swaying with the wind. Yami walked on, numb to the wind, deaf to hookers, druggies, and others that normally didn't do this in broad daylight, and blind to everything but the moon and the stars. He had been walking for about 45 minutes and he was almost at his destination. He passed Amiya Orphanage, the place where he had resided with Seto and Mokuba. He walked forward almost at the park where the three of them often snuck out to. To think, to stargaze, to watch the moon, to enjoy each others company, and to forget about their current troubles.

Reaching a tree that had sheltered them those nights long ago, Yami sat at the bench under it. He watched the moon, stared at the brilliance ofit. A full moon, just like when Seto and Mokuba left him. Something pulled at Yami's heart and he sat therethinking about the days when they were young. Before Gozaburo Kaiba walked into their lives, before Seto challenged him andbeat him,Gozaburo adopting the two, andSeto leaving him,forgetting about him.

"Seto, promise you'll neverleave me?" asked a younger version ofYami. The cerulean eyed child nodded his head and smiled at him. In which Yami returned.

"Aniki! Gozaburo Kaiba is here!"yelled Mokuba as he ran towards the pair.

"Gozaburo?" askedSeto.

"Hai," Mokuba said.

"Come Mokey, I have an idea." With thatYami watched as Mokuba and Seto walked to where Gozaburo was.

"Baka! Seto never cared for you. He thought of Mokuba and himself that day. All he had to have was an opportunity to get out of that hell, and he took it. Easily forgetting about you, and leaving you with no regret. Breaking his promise to you even though he called you his best friend," Yami whispered unable to continue his train of thought because he knew it would only end in sadness. But Seto, he left a note in their room. And that note was Yami's lifeline for a very long time, until he met Yuugi and his Grandfather.

"Grandpa. Look at him he looks just like me," Yuugi said.

"Yuugi, please stay here for a while. I have business to attend to and I will pick you up when I'm done," Yuugi's Grandpa said. Yami watched this unfold enchanted by the other child that looked just like him save for a few differences.

Yami walked away, heading back to his haven. His room.

Once he reached it, he pulled out the piece of paper under his pillow.The paper was the same as the day he first read it. He always did what he could to preserve it. Seto's perfect handwriting was on this. And he had memerized the words by heart. Reading it every time he was in his room, repeating it over and over again.

"Yami, I am truly sorry that I broke my promise to you. But this I promise you, I'll come back for you and everything will be perfect in life again. I'll have my best friend by side, and my brother. That is all that I need and that is all that I've ever wanted. I'll survive each day because I have to take care of Mokey, and I have to meet you once again.So wait for me.Aishiteru Yami. Seto Musouka," Yami whispered. He sat in his room for an hour or two reciting those words in his head.

"Yami, come someone has decided to adopt you," Tomoe said. Yami nodded his head, and slipped the note in his pocket, following the older girl.

The person who adopted him was none other than the boy who he had spotted earlier that day and his grandfather. The boy smiled and seemed truly happy and his grandfather seemed happy to see his grandchild truly happy.

"But thenYuugi adopted meand everything was well again.I left the orphanage and decided to forget about Seto. His promise, what he asked of me, what he told me. But then Seto comes and ruins everything, and-" Yami trailed off sensing a figure standing in front of him.

"Yami Ihkaras is dead.Were he aliveI would've found himat the orphanage, waiting for me, the day I returned," stated a voice that held no emotion.

Yami looked up, only to see captivatingblue. He was lost in an ocean of blue, drowning in the eyes of hisbest friend from a long time ago.

"Seto," whispered Yami. He turned away unable to keep staring in Seto's blue eyes, and guilty for still loving him when he had Yuugi.

"I told him that I loved him, but he didn't wait for me. He left me just like I left him. He forgot me just like I forgot him. And he-" Kaiba trailed.

"He still loves you, just as much as he did back then," Yami finished. "The question is, how do you feel about him?"

"Why am I telling you this?" Kaiba asked as he walked away, turning his back on Yami.

"Is everyone this lonely when their in love? Does everyone embrace a pain deeper than the shadows?" asked Yami when Kaiba was out of hearing distance.

Yami smirked. Seto came here because he knew this was the one place he would truly know if I was his Yami. He came here because he still cares for me. But not the me that's sitting on this bench, thought Yami. He's lingering in the past, thinking about a friendship that formed into love. When he knew that I cared for him, and him for me.

A lone tear slid down Yami's cheek. He stood up and whispered, "There's no need to keep any promises. Yami Ihkaras and Seto Musouka died a long time ago. I'm moving ahead."

(With Kaiba)

" I agree Yami Motou. But the question isn't how I feel about him because Seto Musouka loved Yami Ihkaras with his whole being but will the gravity of destiny let their present selves leave their past feelings behind. I already know the answer but do you?" Seto asked.

Unbeknownst to them someone was watching. Someone who planned to mess up their lives.

"Love is a simple thing but are you allowed this simplicity?"

Review please. Thanks! And don't worry Yami and Seto WILL hook up and Yuugi, well he'll end up with someone. I think.
