Seto woke up with Téa in his arms, he looked at her face which looked pained and covered in sweat. Kaiba sat up in the bed and placed his hand on her head. She was running fever. Kaiba rolled over in the bed to grab his cellphone off the night stand and call the doctor. He then grabbed a rag out of the bathroom and wet it to cool her down. Her eyes fluttered open when she felt it touch her skin.

Téa sat up and shivered, "Seto?" she said questioningly, "Why is it so cold?"

"You're sick Téa," he said as he pulled another blanket from the closet and wrapped her in it. Téa stood up and said, "I have to go Seto. Yugi is probably in a panic wondering where I am."

Seto grabbed her wrist, "Téa. Please don't go."

"Seto, we can't be like we used to. I am engaged," she said as she showed him the ring. Her legs gave out on her as she said it and fell backwards onto the bed.

Seto stood up in shock, "You're marrying the twerp?!"

Tears started to fill her eyes, "Yes, Yugi and I have been together for a while. He proposed a few days ago. It's only natural for us to want to settle down Seto."

"Do you love him?" Seto asked.

Téa started to shake and said, "I…I think so…maybe…God, Seto I don't know. All I know is I am tired of being alone."

Seto was devastated, but he couldn't let her know that. He grabbed his phone and called Yugi. "Come get your fiancé," he said bitterly. He then stood up and left her alone in the room.

…

When Yugi arrived, Téa was too sick to walk and Seto was too angry to care. He watched as she leaned on Yugi struggling to walk to the staircase. Seto tried his hardest to ignore the twerp until he said, "Téa, maybe I should try carrying you down the stairs. This is a little harsh on my shoulder."

Téa's eyes got big and she thought, 'Have you lost your mind? If you can't stand me leaning on you, how the hell do you expect to be able to carry me down the stairs.' She replied politely, "No thanks Yugi, I will just get cling to the railing."

Yugi gave her an annoyed look and grabbed her arm, throwing it behind his shoulder, and placed the other arm under her knees.

"No…NO…NOO…NOOOO" she said as he picked her up. Kaiba could see Yugi's arms start to shake as he took his first couple steps down the stairs. There was no way he was going to make it all the way down without dropping her. Kaiba sprinted up the stairs and took Téa from him, before carrying her the rest of the way down.

Téa let out a relieved breath and said, "Thank you Seto."

Seto grunted and slammed the door as Yugi walked out with her.

…

When Yugi and Téa got back to her apartment. Yugi helped Téa to the couch and turned on the Tv without saying a word. "Is something wrong Yugi," she asked looking concerned.

"You were perfectly fine with Kaiba carrying you. Why wouldn't you let me help you down the stairs?" Yugi asked.

Téa rolled her eyes, too sick to argue with him and said, "Yugi, I didn't let him carry me. He saw you struggling and came to help. That's it. Now could you please get me a blanket? I'm freezing."

"Why don't you ask him to get it," he said before he stomped over the bedroom in a huff.

Téa groaned and mumbled, "He probably would."

…

Several weeks later, Téa was hanging out with Yugi and her friends in the mall. She was looking at clothes with Serenity and Mai, while the Duke was getting another piercing at the tattoo parlor. Yugi, Joey, and Tristan were looking at tattoo designs, while they waited for duke to finish. Joey saw a sign in the window and said, "Hey Yug, they have a special on couple tattoos, buy one get one half off. Why don't you and Téa get matching tattoos."

Yugi thought about it for a moment and said, "I doubt she would go for something like that."

"Why not Yug, you guys are engaged right? It's just like an engagement ring…but more permanent," Joey said.

Yugi thought about it and said, "You're right Joey, I am going to see what she thinks."

Yugi ran across the hall to the store Téa was in and walked up to her.

"Hey Yugi, is Duke almost finished?" she asked while she looked at a skirt.

Yugi nodded and said, "Yeah, but I thought we could get something there."

Téa raised an eyebrow and said, "Yugi, I have absolutely no desire to get anything pierced."

Yugi chuckled and said, "No, I want to get a couple tattoo."

Téa smiled softly and said, "No, thanks Yugi. Tattoos aren't really my style."

"Why not?" Yugi asked, "We could get something really cool, like you could get dark magician girl and I could get dark magician. Or, we could just get our names tattooed, if you want something simpler," He said as he led her to the tattoo parlor.

Once inside, Téa saw the tattoo artist's sleeve of tattoos and thought of her mother. Her face went pale, and she shook her head, "Yugi, I don't want a tattoo. I don't want to have anything drawn on me. Now please drop it."

Yugi looked down at his feet and said, "Fine, I just wanted to do something together."

The tattoo artist called out, "If you change your mind, the deal is good all week."

"Why don't we go grab a table for everyone at the food court. It is about time for lunch," Téa suggested.

Yugi nodded and followed her to the food court. Téa sat at a table, while Yugi went to order some food. As she waited for him, she heard a boy's voice calling out to her. She turned around in her chair to see Mokuba running up to her with Seto walking behind him.

She held her arms out as the boy ran up to hug her. "Hey Mokie, Seto, what are you guys doing here today?" she greeted.

"We're here to get me a couple new uniforms for school," Mokuba explained, "What are you doing here?"

"I am hanging out with the gang. They'll be here as soon as Duke is finished getting his eyebrow pierced," Téa answered.

Yugi turned around and noticed Téa speaking with the Kaiba brothers. He became annoyed at the eldest Kaiba's presence and approached the table with the food. After he placed the tray down, he wrapped his arm around his fiancée's shoulder and said, "Yeah, and a little later we are going to be getting a tattoo together."

Téa gave Yugi a dirty look, and Kaiba snorted, "Yeah, right."

"Are you bothered by our decision Kaiba," Yugi said feigning ignorance.

Kaiba smirked and replied, "No, not at all…But I know that Téa. You are never going to convince her to get a tattoo. You should have seen the war that was started when I told her that I wanted to get a blue eyes white dragon on my back. You would have an easier time convincing her to go skinny dipping in Antarctica."

Yugi looked at her for validation, and she said, "well he's not wrong," before crossing her arms and looking away.

Kaiba smirked and said, "I can have my plane fueled within the hour."

"I don't have to put up with this," Yugi said in both embarrassment and anger. He pushed his tray away and walked out the mall.

Téa leaned back in her chair annoyed and waited on Seto to say something. It didn't take long… "Looks like there is trouble in paradise, why don't you come back home while the twerp licks his wounds clean."

Téa stood up and said, "Please stop being a jerk to him. He has done nothing to you."

"He took you away from me, that is more than enough reason for me to make him suffer," Seto replied.

"No, you pushed me away. You knew what you were doing, but you did it anyway. Now please just leave me alone Seto," Téa replied.

At that moment, her friends showed up, "Hey, Téa where's Yug?" Joey asked, before he noticed Kaiba.

"What are you doin here Money bags?" Joey asked irritably.

Seto didn't respond. Instead, he placed his hand on Mokuba's head and said, "Let's go home."

Before they left though, Mokuba asked a question that had both Téa and Kaiba's face turn red, "Big brother, what's skinny dipping?"

Joey's and the rest of the gang's eyes got huge as they wondered, 'What the hell did we miss?'
