This chapter is rather short but I love the style of it. =D It is one of my favorite parts. I was inspired to do a chapter like this when I was reading Brave New World. Great book, I highly recommend it.
Shame, Discomfort, Hope?
Pain. Drums pounded everywhere. Yami shoved his head further into his pillow, as a sharp light made his head flare.
A harsh, course alarm broke Seto's peaceful silence awaking him to a pounding world of chaos. He knew this feeling. It was a Migraine.
Yami cringed, wanting nothing more than to go back to sleep. He hadn't drunk like that since he had been in Egypt. Wait, he thought, last night. He shot up from his bed only to fall back over. Damn Yugi for leaving the curtains open.
Seto groaned. He felt awful. What did he do? This wasn't from working late last night. Wait, he thought, last night and then Seto remembered. "Damn"
Yugi. His eyes became shallow. He remembered his little one's embarrassed face. He was ashamed of him. Yami sighed. Yugi was his light and he was certain he dimmed that light last night. He was ashamed but didn't regret it. That alcohol had been a sweet escape.
Mokuba. That's all Seto thought of as he cleaned himself up as best he could for work. He would have mentally kicked himself for last night but he was already reaping the consequences. Why did he take that second drink and the third and, gosh. He lost count. Once again he made his brother make such a face. But did he regret it?
When Yami thought about it, was Kaiba really the key to his curse or was it just the alcohol. Perhaps it was just the wine, he thought and his expression began to glaze. He shook his head and looked straight ahead with hope. No, perhaps Seto is the answer.
He had laughed and smiled and dare he say it danced. As much as Seto hated to admit it the alcohol had been a sweet escape. Not only that, but the company was good. His rival, no, Yami, had made him smile. He knew they chatted online but he hadn't expected the pharaoh to give him his undivided attention. But what would he say?
But if Seto is the answer, how does he feel now? What if he blamed him for last night? He brought out the wine. What if he called him an alcoholic and never spoke to him again? What if he screwed up?
Did Yami remember last night? What if he called him to come over like he said he would and Yami just laughed? What if everyone laughed? They were all there. Shame colored his face. He grinded his teeth as anger took over his unpleasant emotions. If he laughed then Kaiba would destroy him like everyone else. Still his hand hovered over the phone.
Did he remember his promise? Would he call him or destroy him like Kaiba did to obstacles. Yami's bloodshot eyes hovered over the phone.
