He came to stop and bent down, hands on kneecaps, his breathing ragged. The wind was blowing a little fiercer now. It seemed to be as angry as him and why shouldn't he be? Her, the woman he wished he hadn't shoved away in his friend's high school life was with his rival throughout the high school scene. He had beaten him at ever turn in the game of Duel Monsters and yet now his rival had the one thing he now hopelessly wanted to be by his side until life stole her from him. He reached his hand out and fingertips felt wood and he clung to the seat of the bench and sat down. He pressed his hands against his face as he drew up his legs, his knees pressing against his chest. He opened his eyes and stared up at the sky. A tear dropped from the heavens as quickly as a flying arrow, straight down between his eyes and it was just the first before several followed the firsts lead. Before he knew it he was drenched with rain, thunder echoed behind the clouds. He dropped his hands from around his knees and brought them down his shoes touched the ground and he sighed, dragging his palms down his face, breathing in the chilled air. He couldn't stand it. Not her, not her with him. Not Téa Gardner with Seto Kaiba. Lovers. They were lovers; the look on Kaiba's face was a peaceful one. Like he would never let Téa go, he wouldn't make Yami's mistake.

Téa let out a brief scream as ice water splashed over her like a cold shower. Mokuba bolted into the limo and Seto pushed Téa forward, guiding her into the limo, he followed in after her and slammed the door shut. "That was a freak of nature." Téa told Mokuba who smiled at the idea. "I've never seen it rain like that." She sighed, rain usually started with a few quick drops before cascading down, not just one and then the shower. She was suddenly worried about her son, he was with his grandparents and she was with Seto and Mokuba. She didn't like being separated from her child. The silence in the limo seemed to drag out as Seto pulled Téa a bit closer to him when he noticed her shaking. She smiled and closed her eyes, her head dropping to his shoulder, he pushed away soaked russet hair that stuck to her cheek and kissed her forehead. Suddenly it was a ring tone that broke the silence. It was coming from Téa. She sat up and grabbed the phone. "Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm heading home."

"Where's Cole?"

"At my parents, they get him for the weekend."

"No, I do, this is my weekend with him."

"I promised them, Aki. Leave it alone you have your daughter. You can see Cole next weekend."

"Téa!"

"I'll call you tomorrow,"

"Don't you hang up, Téa!" She unwrapped a candy from its wrapper and placed it on the receiver and began twisting it in her fingers making a static sound. "I'm—losing—Aki? —Aki?" she hung up the phone while he continued to scold her about not hanging up, which she did anyways.

"You're bad." Mokuba pointed out.

"Oh? Did you want to talk to him?"

"No."

"Then leave me be." She folded her arms across her chest and leaned back, the rest of the ride was nice and quiet, heat seeping from the vents.

Yugi looked up from his dinner when the door to the turtle shop swung open. There stood Yami with this distained look on his face, his hair was covering his eyes, rainwater dripping from it; he was soaked from head to toe. Yugi jumped from his seat and ran over to the pharaoh. "Yami! What happened, Zahra called, worried about you and well you weren't answering your cell." Yami turned his head to the side, his eyes staring blankly to the side, his mouth a thin slash. Yugi drew in a breath, a little fearful; he loosened his grip on Yami's jacket sleeves and stepped back. "Yami?"

"I think she might love him."

"Love him? Who… what are you talking about?" He shook his head and slide to the floor, burying his face in his hands. Yugi looked down at him, unclear what to do. He walked away and headed up the stairs, leaving the pharaoh to think. When he came back down the stairs he had a towel in his hands. "Come on, get up." He extended his hand to one of his closet friends. Yami stared at the floor a little longer before taking Yugi's hand and getting up from the floor. "Go take a shower and put on some dry clothes." Yami took the towel and headed upstairs and Yugi walked back over to the table and picked up the phone and called Téa. It took a moment for her to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Téa, its me, do you think you could head over."

"I don't think so Yugi, it's down pouring right now, better safe than sorry. I can stop by tomorrow if that's okay!" suddenly she made a loud shriek and she scorned someone. "I'm sorry. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Okay, talk to you then." He hung up and he wondered if the previous spirit was talking about Téa loving someone… was she back with Aki? No, that couldn't be it… Aki was married with a child of his own now. So who could it be? Yugi sighed and heard the shower turn on. He couldn't believe how Yami looked, he had never seen him that troubled before and they had all been in some tight and dangerous spots before and now… well, this was completely different than those times, this seemed to rip the pharaoh to the core.

Téa lay on her stomach on her bed and closed her eyes, running her fingers over the cover of the baby book, before opening it. Her son was so cute. She flipped through the pages slowly seeing his gap toothed smiles in almost every picture. Her favorite pictures were the ones she took of him whilst he slept. She sort of missed him right now and hoped he wasn't crying from the thunder that rumbled in the darkening sky. She looked up when her door creaked open and she smiled as Seto gave her this almost smile and she waved him in. He walked over to her and she shut the baby book, sitting up. He sat on the edge of the bed and turned his head slightly to the side and leaned in close giving her this barely touching lips soft kiss. She smiled and pressed her lips closer to his and pulled back, brushing back lose strands of her hair and tucking them behind her ear. "Lonely?" she smiled as he picked up the book and opened it.

"It's only two days but it still does feel longer." She drew her knees up to her chest, tugging on the folds of her shorts. "Wouldn't you miss Mokuba if he were away from you?"

"Yeah. So why don't you spend tonight with me?" she eyed him and he shrugged. "I'm serious. I mean are you going in here forever."

"Not if your implying something." He chuckled and took her hand in his, running his thumb up her finger and stopping at the knuckle.

"I'm not, you could just… fall asleep in my arms."

"If that's what you want."

"Sometimes… most times it is." He kissed the pulse in her neck and her eyes drifted shut, this silly smile on her lips.

"Well… when do you want me to?"

"Tonight." He slipped one arm under her legs and the other around her back and he lifted her up, her arms draped around his neck and she giggled as he carried her out of her room, switching off the light and taking her down the hall down the stairs and into his room.

"Oh, look! It's clean."

"Ha, ha" words, not an actual laugh. He shut the door and brought her to the bed and laid her down. She pulled up and cupped his face, pressing her lips against his. He kissed her back slowly, his hand coming up to rest on her ribs; her shirt had inched up a little on her torso when he had set her down. His hand was cold against her flesh and she moved a little closer to him and he did the same. The kiss was growing intense. She got up on her knees so that she was higher than him; Téa ran her hands down to his neck, his head tilted back, closing his lips repeatedly to her kiss. She stopped kissing him suddenly, just resting her lips against his. Seto wrapped her arms around her stomach and flipped them over until she was resting atop him. Téa slipped down a little till her head rested against his chest.

What do you know; Seto's the same as me. She thought as his heart slowly beat inside his chest, heavy and slow. It was actually a peaceful sound. She closed her eyes and tears started to burn her sinuses. God… am I in love? What happened the last time I was in love? If only she knew he was as close to her feelings as she was. Only he wasn't upset… he was now comfortable with the way he felt with this young mother now, it no longer scared him… it was like Mokuba… different but the love was the same. Strong and real, he felt her fingers entwine with his and he bent his head down and gently kissed her forehead. This was nice, to just be with without anything having to happen. He wouldn't do anything to ruin it now.

"It's okay Téa. It's okay." She didn't understand, but she didn't have to not right now she didn't. She closed her eyes again and slipped into a warm sleep in his strong arms.
