Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh, but I do wish to own Seto.

I wake up slowly. The morning sun not yet out. I can't get what Yugi said off my mind. What if all that shit is true? What will I do? Of course I know what I'll do. I'll protect my card and Mokuba. I look to my left side of the bed. Ha! No surprise there. No one occupies the spot. I always thought I'd die alone. Not something everyone usually wishes but I do.

I drag myself to the bathroom and close the door. Why does life have to feel so empty? Why does everyone else get to live like they have no other care in the world? Maybe I was just picked out of millions to suffer. I wouldn't be surprised. After all with my luck, anything is possible.

I start to shave with this new shaving razor I got. Nice structure. You twist the bottom and the top opens up, patiently waiting for a razor to rest atop it. I pull out a clean one and stare at it for a few seconds watching the blade glisten in the light. The edge inviting me in. Telling me everything will be alright. Screaming at me to touch it. To feel it.

What choice do I have?

I put the shaver down and I bring the blade down to my wrist. I watch as I let the blade dance on my skin and on my veins. I don't feel pain if that's what your thinking. No, I feel release. I feel composure. I feel loved. Everything can just go away in an instant. And little Yugi claims I need friends. For what? To help me feel this? Why waste time with people when your best friends are found in the confines of your bathroom.

I lay the razor down as the blood, my blood, starts to drip into the sink. It first starts with a tiny dot, then exceeds to a creek- like state. Before I know it, the blood is washing down my hands and fingers. The warmth quickly fades away into my flesh. Watching it all makes me calmer. I feel at ease for once in my life.

I can see the blood sweeping through my veins. Softly flowing through until it reaches the slit. I watch it gush out some more before I hear a familiar voice.

"Seto! Are you done in there yet? Breakfast is ready and we're waiting for you."

I panic as I look at the time. It's already been an hour. How come something so sweet takes place so fast? I quickly grab a towel and apply pressure to my now red tinted skin. "I'll be there Mokuba. Just give me time to get dressed."

"Ok Seto, see you at the table."

I listen to make sure he his past the hall and going down the stairs. I then get a band aid and swap it on. I quickly get dressed in my daily attire. A shirt, pants, a long jacket and cuffs to put on. Great. These cuffs will apply pressure to my cut and will stop the bleeding faster. I ruffle my hair a bit. No one cares how I look. Especially me.

I then venture downstairs but not before returning to the bathroom. I grab the towel and stash it in my nightstand. The maids know not to go in there so I'm fine. If any one of them found out, they might think they're working for a mad man. Okay Seto, now down to breakfast. I put on my usual grim face and head downstairs for a nice breakfast with my little brother. The one who I will protect through this shit no matter what.

It doesn't matter if my life is ruined. I must stay alive for Mokuba. That's the only reason. But, if only someone could take it all away. Take away the pressure, the worry, the hardships.of course my wishes are never granted. Who would grant death to the one person in the world who truly needs it?
