Yugi: -holds up sign saying 'don't mind the insane one' and sweatdrops-

---Yugi---

Ten years had passed… Mokuba and I had grown even closer. I pretty much lived with him, only going home for less than a day.

I woke up in the bed. I patted the left side of the bed to find it empty. I opened my eyes and yawned, remembering that Mokuba wouldn't be there. I got up and walked into his office. Of course, there he was asleep at his desk. I smiled and kissed him softly on the head. I picked him up and brought him into the bedroom.

His eyes partly opened. "Sorry..." he whispered. I laughed a bit.

"You know I don't mind." I said, even though it was a lie. I didn't like how Mokuba worked day and night. He was working to hard, stressing himself out by getting no sleep. He'd work himself to the grave if he didn't stop. I kissed him again as he fell back asleep.

I told the maids not to wake him and then left for school.

---Mokuba---

After Yugi had left and I had woken up, I began my normal day. I'd eat a small breakfast then go work until he got home.

As I ate, a maid brought me a newspaper. The stocks had dropped a bit and now one of the companies I supplied to was trying to sell. I threw the paper down and stood up.

"Ugh! Get them on the phone now!" I said to one of the maids. She ran off as I rubbed my forehead. I looked down at the table to see Seto looking up at me with the icy glare he'd get in his eyes when something like this would happen. I let out a cry as my hands flew upward and I stumbled back. Watching the milk slowly drip over the side of the table, I held the card around my neck.

"I'm just stresses..." I said to myself as the maids rushed to get the table cleaned up.

"Are you alright Mr. Mokuba?" One of them asked. I nodded slowly and got up. I put the thought of… Seto… off and went back to work.

Yugi came home a while later. He came in and put his arms around my neck as I typed away at my keyboard.

"Come on, let's go do something." He begged playfully. I smirked at him, knowing he had already figured out what he … we were going to do.

He pulled me from my desk and unbuttoned my shirt. He kissed my chest and slipped a t-shirt over my head. I rolled my eyes. "You like it when we're all sweaty, don't you?"

We changed into baggy t-shirts and shorts then went to the gym. I started doing sit ups as Yugi started doing laps around the track. After a while I wiped some sweat off my forehead. My reflection showed in the mirror. I looked at it but suddenly felt sick to my stomach. It wasn't me looking back…

"SETO!" I screamed and threw a weight. The mirror shattered but before the glass hit the ground, I fell to my knees. I watched the pieces rain onto the floor, Seto glared at my through cold eyes.

Yugi pulled me into his arms; I looked at him for a moment then back at the broken mirror. My scared expression stared back at me.

"Don't leave…" I said gripping Yugi's sleeves tightly.

"Mokuba … I'm here for you, I'll always be here for you…"

---Yugi---

I had almost forgotten… Mokuba had never been able to get himself to go to Kaiba's grave. The day of Kaiba's funeral… he stayed in the car. He wouldn't talk to anyone, not even me.

Then that night…

-Flashback-

I had heard someone knocking at my door. It was gramps, he said Mokuba was downstairs. I nearly fell down the stairs, if Mokuba was here than it had to be important… After seeing him in a daydreaming state … it made me worried sick about him.

Mokuba looked so pale. He was slightly shaking; his eyes looked intensively at the ground as he was waiting for me. "Mokuba?" I said, almost afraid.

He jumped a little and looked at me. I didn't need to say anymore and Mokuba didn't have to say anything at all. I understood why he looked like he did.

"He just ... can't be gone..." Mokuba whispered as I pulled him into my arms. He had come out of his daze and was realizing his brother was really gone.

"It's okay," I whispered into his ear.

-End Flashback-

We grew so close after that… but … lately he's been odd. I talked to one of the maids about how he had freaked out while eating breakfast, and then in the gym when he had screamed and broke the mirror…

I sat in bed, alone of course. Mokuba said he'd be there in a few minutes which meant he wasn't going to come. I started to think… I hadn't seen Mokuba cry once in the past five years. He never cried, not when we saw his brothers' death being announced on T.V, not on the day of Kaiba's funeral, not when he got hurt … never.

I began to wonder if he cried in his office over his brothers' death. It was so strange to me that I had never seen him cry over something that affected him so much…

---Mokuba---

Sitting in my office… I couldn't get myself to concentrate fully. Why was I so stressed? Why was I stressed to the point of imagining Seto in my place of reflection? I hadn't been working that hard had I?

I got up from my desk and walked over to the door. I looked into the bedroom at Yugi. Maybe it was time to ask him … I smiled a bit. Yeah, that would be a great thing to do. I ran back to my desk and started making phone calls.

---Yugi---

I awoke, not surprised to find the space next to me, empty. I got out and went into Mokuba's office… but he wasn't asleep like I had expected. In fact the laptop lay abandoned and off. I left the room a bit worried. One of the maids handed me a robe to put over my pajamas and seemed as if she was trying to hide a smile.

Another maid cleared her throat before talking to me. "Mr. Motou, Mr. Mokuba would like to see you downstairs in the main hall."

I looked at her rather confused. The maids behind me giggled. I looked at them, they stopped instantly and blushed. "He said he'll wait until you're ready sir."

"Oh, well I'll go see him now." I said starting down the hall towards the stairs.

---Mokuba---

I pulled at the tie I was wearing… damn it I shouldn't have worn the tie… I waited eagerly for Yugi to come. I had been up most of the night getting this ready. It didn't take much to get people to do what I asked of them, I was, after all, the CEO now…

"Mokuba?"

I looked up at the stairs. Yugi stood there, looking down at me. I swallowed hard, feeling my cheeks burn fiercely. Yugi walked down the rest of the stairs and came towards me. The sun coming through the windows behind him made him look beautiful. I started to have second thoughts … maybe I wasn't ready…

"I heard you wanted me to meet you here." Yugi said. He looked somewhat confused.

"Yugi … I wanted to … ask … I wanted…to know…" I started to stutter… I had said it a million times in my head, so why couldn't I say it now? I just had to force myself to say it, simple as that.

"I wanted to… know ... if you ... uh …" I couldn't get myself to say it all. My hand slid into my pocket. "If you'd … I mean … if you would…"

I quickly shoved the tiny box into Yugi's chest; he grabbed it and looked at me again. I felt so sick…and yet, excited and happy.

He opened the box, letting out a gasp. The sun made the light dance on his face in a rainbow of colors. He looked at me with his mouth open.

"I'd … uh... understand if you... didn't…wan-." I had started but he suddenly tackled me while letting out a loud 'Eeee!' noise.

With his heads behind my head, he pulled me into a deep kiss. "I've been so worried you didn't want to be anything more than a couple." He said after a while. We laid on the floor, holding each other in our arms. It seemed to last forever… I never wanted the moment to end.

There was a knock on the door but I ignored it. "Do you like it?" I asked as Yugi admired the ring that was no on his finger.

"Of course." He said kissing me on the nose. I smiled and held him closer.

A maid cleared her throat and bowed her head. "Sirs…"

I glanced over at her. The man behind her…My grip on Yugi tightened and I suddenly felt Yugi started to pull free from my grasp as he stood up. "Why are you here?" he beamed.
