The techno music blared throughout the club. At a table sat Yami, propping his head up with his arm; his crimson eyes were gazing at the dance floor where Malik and Mai had a sexy little number going on as they ground together, becoming the fantasies of the majority of the patrons, including the shaggy-haired blond who sat next to the famous actor.

"Look at her!" Jou cried, practically drooling. For some strange reason, which Yami didn't understand, Mai had insisted he invite Jounouchi along for their night out.

The song changed to a slow one so Mai and Malik wandered back over to the table. Malik plopped down next to Yami and quickly gulped down the rest of his latest drink. Mai, on the other hand, stood at the end of their table and grinned down at their invited guest.

"Wanna dance?" the blonde actress asked Jou, whose eyes were glued to her breasts – which were practically popping out of the skimpy purple dress she was wearing.

"Gaa…" Was all Jou could say, his mouth full of drool.

"I think that means 'yes'," Malik laughed; Mai grabbed Jou's wrist and began dragging him towards the dance floor. Now that they were alone, Malik flung a bare arm around Yami's neck and pressed his lips to the actor's cheek.

Yami was used to this. Whenever Mai was in LA the three of them would always end up at some club. Normally Yami had fun during those outings, as it was one of the rare times he was able to forget about work, but this time was different; he missed Seto.

"Malik, I think I'm going to get out of here," Yami said with a small sigh. "I'm not really having a lot of fun tonight."

"Aww…you miss your boy toy!" Malik cried with a giggle. He threw his other arm around Yami's neck and hugged the actor tighter. "He must be really hot! I want to meet him!"

"Malik…"

"Don't worry; I miss my boy toy too!"

Yami stared at his intoxicated friend; he hadn't realized that Malik had fallen so hard for Bakura. Wiggling out of the blonde's grasp, Yami patted him on the back. "Come on and let's go. You can have phone sex with him or something."

Making sure that Mai saw they were leaving, the two friends headed out of the club where they found a taxi. First, Malik was dropped off at Mai's place since he was staying with her for his trip, and then Yami instructed the taxi driver to take him back to his hotel. It was late, too late to visit Seto that night.

Flopping down on his bed, still fully clothed, Yami attempted to fall into a dreamless sleep. He only wanted morning to come so that he could visit his sexy lover. After a half hour though, Yami was up pacing his room, unable to sleep.

Stripping down so that he was only wearing leather pants, he began walking from one wall to the next. He wanted to sleep but with each step he took he found himself becoming more and more awake.

The shrill ring of Yami's cellphone tore through the room, halting the actor's footsteps. Thinking it was Malik; Yami stormed over to the phone and flung it open.

"You better not be calling me, wanting a three-way phone sex conversation!"

"What?"

Yami's eyes widened in alarm and he felt like banging his head against the wall out of stupidity. "Seto! I thought you were Malik!"

"I assure you, I'm not," came the smug familiar voice of the handsome Japanese man.

"So what do you want?" Yami asked, keeping his voice as casual as possible. Inside he was glowing due to the fact Seto had called him so late at night; the sun would be rising in a few hours.

"I was just wondering if you had gotten back alright from your night out with your friends."

Yami walked over to his bed and laid flat down on his back before speaking again. "Yeah, I got in an hour ago."

"Did I wake you?"

"Nah I can't sleep."

"Same." A moment of silence followed, making Yami think Seto had left him, when suddenly the brunet finally started speaking again. "Do you want to come over? We could watch the sun rise from here. It's beautiful."

A smile crossed Yami's lips. "Sure."

"I'll pick you up in a half hour."

Yami showered while waiting for Seto to arrive, afterwards dressing comfortably in designer jeans, a stylish sleeveless t-shirt and leather jacket. By the time he was finished making sure his spikes were perfect there was a knock at the door.

In a hurry, Yami rushed over and flung it open. "Hey," he said with a goofy smile on his face.

Without speaking Seto wrapped his arms around Yami's waist, bent down and gave the actor a kiss.

"I missed you," the brunet whispered when he and Yami broke apart.

"Me too."

Hand in hand, Seto and Yami walked out of the room.


"It should be soon," Yami sleepily murmured from where he sat between Seto's legs; his head was resting against the brunet's chest and strong arms were wrapped around his body holding them close together. Seto on the other hand was leaning up against a tree while they sat on a blanket waiting for the sun to rise.

"I'm glad you agreed to come," Seto whispered into Yami's ear.

"Me too."

Yami's eyes fell shut as the first rays of sun fell across the Kaiba estate. When the ball of burning fire was fully in the sky, Seto stood, picking the sleeping actor up in his arms, and carried Yami inside.


"So when can I meet him?" Malik asked before snaking his tongue out to take a lick of the ice cream cone he currently enjoying. It had been two days since the night out at the club but still an opportunity hadn't arisen for Malik to meet the brilliant brunet who had captured Yami's heart.

"I don't know; he's awfully busy," Yami replied with a shake of his head as they continued to walk down the path. Wanting some fun, Yami, Malik, Yugi and Jou had gone to Kaiba Land for the afternoon. The place had actually started out as a huge gaming center but in recent years an enormous theme park was added on to it.

"Kaiba's a jerk," Jounouchi grumbled as the foursome walked towards the line for another roller coaster.

Yugi chuckled. "You only say that because he beat you at everything when we were in high school!"

"Plus you've been moody all day since finding out Mai couldn't come since she has to do a photo shoot," Malik pointed out with a laugh.

"Mai…" Jou happily sighed with a love-struck look on his face. Yami didn't really want to know what was happening between the shaggy haired blond and the actress.

They waited in line for what seemed like forever, moving forward hardly at all.

"Why do we have to wait?" Malik finally complained. He was used to special treatment when out with Yami, as back home people would bend over backwards to make sure the famous actor was satisfied. "Doesn't your boy toy own this place?"

"Malik…" Yami warned. The last thing he needed at the moment was for Malik to throw a diva fit over having to wait in line.

"Come on pull some power!"

"Malik!"

"Umm…if we don't want to draw attention to ourselves you may want to quiet down…" Yugi nervously warned as people began to turn and stare at them.

"Sir, you're going to have to come with me," a burly security said as he approached them in line.

"I tried to warn you," Yami told his friend in a know-it-all tone of voice as he crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes in smug satisfaction.

"Actually sir, I was speaking to you."

Crimson eyes snapped open as he angrily glared at the guard. "What! What did I do?"

"I'm just following orders sir."

Malik laughed as Yami stormed off after the security guard. The actor couldn't understand what had happened; he had done nothing wrong. He was definitely going to have to get Seto involved now, although he hated having the sexy brunet rescue him all the time.

The guard led Yami to a tall building where the main gaming center was held. They rode up the elevator in silence until reaching the top floor. With a ding, the elevator came to a stop and the guard began leading Yami down the hallway, their footsteps echoing through the quietness. When they reached a set of massive doors, the guard stopped and stepped to the side.

"Go in," the guard commanded to Yami as the doors swung open by themselves.

Ready to meet his fate Yami confidently strolled inside, the doors automatically closing behind him. The office was huge but sparsely decorated; in front of enormous windows sat a desk with its chair facing away from Yami as whoever sat in it was busy staring out at the park.

"You've been causing quite the disturbance today," a cool voice said that Yami instantly recognized.

"How so?" Yami inquired with a smirk upon his face. The chair swung around to reveal Seto who matched the actor's smirk. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"I'm overseeing the operations here for the day," Seto explained as the smirk faded away into a warm smile. "I keep on getting distracted by seeing you on the security cameras."

Strolling over, Yami plopped himself down in his lover's lap. After a quick kiss, Yami turned his attention to Seto's computer which video fed of the camera his friends were on. "Your lines are slow."

"Only on purpose."

Picking up his phone, Seto made a call, speaking in rapid Japanese of which Yami caught nothing. A few moments later the line began moving again.

"Bastard," Yami laughed. "You were looking for a reason to have security take me in."

"Fortunately you have a spoiled friend."

"That's Malik all right."

"Hn."

Tired of talk, Seto began nibbling on the back of his petite lover's neck.

"Come on!" Yami declared as he hopped to his feet and tugged on Seto's hand, dragging him up as well. "He wants to meet you!"

"Yami…I'm supposed to be working."

"A minute ago you were nibbling my neck. I fail to see how that is considered working."

Yami watched as Seto heavily sighed and then give a forced smile. "Alright…but you have to come stay with me tonight."

"Don't I always?" Yami asked with a laugh.

Walking hand in hand, Yami and Seto quickly made their way back to the park. It didn't take long to find the others as they were in the process exiting the roller coaster Yami had left them at.

"Kaiba!" Jou growled, being the first to see Yami and Seto walking towards them. Clenching his fist, Jou threateningly waved it at the CEO.

"Uncivilized as always I see."

"Why you-"

"Jou talk to Mai!" Yami quickly intervened, tossing his cellphone at the shaggy haired blond. "Just find her name in the address book."

With hearts in his eyes, Jou scampered off to talk in peace, leaving the rest free to talk without worry of a fight.

"Such an obedient puppy," Malik commented, watching Jou's retreating form.

"Hmph," Seto replied in a muffled laugh.

Twirling his fingers in his long blond hair, Malik turned his attention to the tall brunet. "You're cute," he purred. "I can see why Yami likes you."

Yami slapped the palm of his hand against his forehead. Only Malik would want to embarrass him whenever possible. "Be nice or I'm telling Isis."

A look of horror washed over Malik's face.

"Your older sibling huh?" Seto commented as a smirk crossed his face. He had seen Malik's look on Mokuba many times when his brother had gotten into trouble.

Silently Malik nodded his head.

Things began to smooth out after that, especially since Jounouchi was a long time in returning from talking to Mai and Malik was being good. Seto didn't talk much but Yami didn't care, he knew how the sexy CEO could be.

With Seto around, Malik got his wish of skipping lines, which of course made the blond instantly love Yami's boyfriend. After an hour though, Seto was finally free from Yami's grasp to go back to work and the others went back to enjoying the park.


Another week went by and Yami continued having the time of his life. However at the back of his mind was now a constant little voice telling him that he would eventually have to go home. Mahaado was keeping him up to date on things and many scripts were coming in that he eventually had to read. Plus there was the fact that he would have become bored with his vacation long ago if it hadn't been for Seto.

Not wanting to keep things between himself and Seto, Yami brought up his concerns one evening while sharing a romantic dinner.

"Home huh?"

Silently Yami sadly nodded his head. When he finally was able to speak it was obvious from his voice that he was stressed. "Work is calling me. I have scripts to read, appearances to do, awards to collect…Malik is leaving on Monday and…I don't-"

"It's a good thing my own work is taking me to your country then," the brunet casually replied while taking a sip of his wine. Bug-eyed, Yami stared at him.

"What?"

"For the past two years I've been going through the various stages of building a Kaiba Land in your own back yard. Construction begins in a month so I'll have to spend a lot of time there."

Yami's heart soared and he felt like lunging across the table, throwing his arms around Seto's neck but he figured the expensive restaurant wouldn't be too pleased if he did that. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Seto shrugged and gave a small amused smile. "Well ever since someone decided it was okay for Mokuba to date, he found himself a girlfriend and didn't want to leave. I wouldn't be able to go without him but fortunately they broke up the other day and I then had the joyful task of finding a tutor in California he liked as the one we used in the past decided to move to the other side of the country. In conclusion, nothing was final until this afternoon but you began talking before I could tell you."

"I'm an idiot."

"You're also sexy."

Yami grinned. "Will you be staying there long?"

"A year; with multiple trips back to Japan on short business trips to keep an eye on things here."

Yami knew there would be dangers; with Seto in the US with him it would be hard to keep their relationship a secret; those in Domino didn't care but LA was a whole different world and his career would be at sake. However being without Seto would be a lot worse.

"So that means if I leave with Malik on Monday, it'll be a month until we see each other again, right?"

"Yes," Seto replied, suspiciously eyeing the crimson-eyed actor.

"So why don't get out of here and make the most of the time we have left?"

A sly smile appeared on Seto's lips. "I like the way you think."
