Seto and Evelyn had returned to her apartment relaxing for a little while before the gang would show up. Everyone was coming for their weekly poker night, including Mia and Serenity.

"Should I be this scared?" She asked shaking nervously. Her arm was resting lazily on Seto's leg and he could tell how nervous she was. He gently took her hand in his.

"It'll be fine Evelyn…. I know it wont be easy but I don't want to hide my feelings for you," He said softly. He brought her hand up to his lips kissing the back of her hand.

"If they don't understand then I'll know who my real friends are…" She said softly. She looked up hearing the gang getting out of Joey's loud truck. "Here we go…" She said going to the door. She looked back at Seto who gave her a reassuring smile. She gave one of her own before going outside to greet her friends.

"Hey guys…" She said smiling but had knots in her stomach.

"Hey Eve, how are you," Yugi said smiling at his god sister. He noticed she looked troubled. "Hey are you alright?"

"I'm good…I'm great actually. I've been seeing someone for a while and I've been wanting to tell you guys but I've been kind of afraid to tell you…" She said softly.

"Why would you be afraid to tell us that?" Yugi asked.

"Yea Eve, we're your friends. If he makes you happy why would you be afraid to tell us?" Joey asked

"Because I know you aren't to found of him…" Evelyn said before taking them inside. The group gasped in surprise when she went over to none other then Seto Kaiba. She took his hand with a soft smile. Clearly in shock they all came in and sat down silently.

The awkward silence in the room was so thick you could see it until someone finally spoke.

"I knew it," Tea said bitterly.

"Knew what?' Evelyn asked looking at her.

"I knew something was going on between you two, the way You defend him all the time like he's the greatest man on earth-.."

"That's because he is… To me at least." Evelyn said interrupting Tea.

"How long have you two been together?" Yugi asked politely.

"Since battle city," Seto finally said softly. Evelyn smiled at him giving his hand a thankful squeeze.

"You slut," Tea said snickering.

"Excuse me," Evelyn said getting angry.

"You heard me. You two weren't together, You were fucking. You are a slut," Tea said laughing at Evelyn's shocked face. Evelyn quickly regained her composure. She looked around at everyone's shocked faces not believing what they had just heard.

"Get out." Evelyn said coldly. Tea looked at her dumbfounded.

"What?"

" I didn't stutter," She said going to the door. "Get Out," she said just as coldly as before.

"What, you afraid to admit the truth," Tea said smirking.

"Tea just leave," Yugi spoke up. Evelyn looked at him with thankful eyes.

"Yugi…" Tea said sounding hurt. She stood up and headed to the door. She turned facing everyone and then Evelyn. "If I walk out this door, I'm never coming back here again, or having anything to do with you slut."

"That's a promise I'll make sure you keep," Evelyn said "Now go!"

With a huff Tea stormed out of the apartment jumping when the door slammed behind her.

"Anyone else have any comments like that?" Evelyn asked looking at everyone. "If so there's the door." She said crossing her arms. Seto went over to her wrapping his arms around her protectively. They looked up hearing Tristan make a huff and followed after Tea. Everyone else stayed where they were.

"Look…what tea said-." Evelyn started but Yugi interrupted her.

"What ever has gone on between you and Kaiba is your business. Do I wish you would have said something, that you were seeing him, yes, however I know why you didn't," Yugi said with a smile. "You look happy. Plus I knew something was going on."

"You…you did…" Evelyn asked blushing.

"You practically glow when his name is mentioned," Yugi said grinning. "You seem happier then I've seen you in a long time."

"I am," She said smiling up at Seto.

"Good. Now can we get this poker game started? I wanna win back my M&M's," Joey said breaking the tension. Evelyn laughed at Seto's confusion.

"We don't bet with money. Chips, pretzels, M&M's, and peanuts are the bet," She said grinning.

"Interesting…" Seto said not quiet comfortable showing a grin or smile yet. They gathered around the coffee table sitting on pillows or blankets.

"Ya gona join us moneybags? Or are you only good at duel monsters," Joey said as he got the snacks. Seto smirked.

" I can beat you at any game Wheeler," Seto said taking a seat next to Evelyn…

Midnight came and everyone was still playing the card game. Well almost everyone. The guys kept playing while the girls passed out an hour before hand. Seto was winning but not by much. Yugi and Joey both were giving him a run for his money, money being pretzels. (I don't know how to play poker so I'm not getting into it lol)

2 in the morning came fast and finally Joey had been victorious.

"Is it really that late?" Seto asked shocked as he looked at his watch. He spent the whole day with the geek squad. He had to admit, to himself, that it wasn't all that bad. They even had a few beers. He smiled looking down at Evelyn sleeping at his side. "I'll get some blankets for everyone." He said going to Evelyn's room knowing where she kept everything.

"Kaiba," Yugi had said. He had followed the CEO while Joey cleaned up and moved the coffee table.

"Yugi?" He asked looking over at the smaller boy.

"I have to ask you something before I'm comfortable with you dating my god sister." He said with a protective tone. Seto nodded and listened. "Do you love her?"

"I do," Seto said with no hesitation.

"That's all I needed to know," Yugi said and smiled.

"That's it?" Seto asked expecting the third degree.

"That's it. As long as you treat her right and don't hurt her I have no problem." Yugi said taking some blankets and pillows to the living room. Seto smiled softly to himself. He rejoined the others and watched the guys get comfortable; Joey with his arms around Mia, and Yugi sleeping close to Serenity. Slowly he made his way to Evelyn who was a little away from everyone else. Seto covered her with a blanket before lying behind her wrapping his arms around her.

She stirred in his arms turning facing him. "Hey, did you win?" She asked quietly and still was half asleep.

"No the mutt did," He said chuckling softly. " Don't tell anyone, I still have my reputation to up hold."

"I wont tell anyone," She said leaning in kissing him softly before curling up in his arms falling back to sleep. Seto smiled looking down at the beauty in his arms. –How could someone like me get so lucky? I, Seto Kaiba, cold-hearted CEO of Kaiba corp. was lucky enough to find this loving woman. She's opened my eyes and my heart to rejoin the world of the living and not just hide in the world of computers. I may be new to all this magic and fate and even destiny. But I don't believe that this was an accident. This is destiny…She's my soul mate, and I am hers…- With that last thought Seto fell asleep with his soul mate sleeping peacefully in his arms…

The End
