Tea jumped at the noise of the obnoxious alarm sounding in her ear.
Ugh 7:30, why do I have to go back to school? Tea asked herself.
She slowly wiggled herself out of bed, one leg over the edge, then the other, then with the strength she had been attempting to gather she brought her body upward, Tea looked down at her feet for a couple of minutes contimplating if she should get up now or hug the pillow for a few minutes. However, her better judgement got the best of her and she lifted herself to her feet.
She leisurley made her way into the bathroom and ran a hot bath.
School starts at nine, So I have plenty of time for a bath and some breakfast. Tea thought as she calculated the amount of time shed have in the bathtub.
Stripping of her clothes, she walked over to the tub and poured some sweet pea bubble soap into it, giving the entire bathroom a relaxing, and delightful smell. She climbed in and let her body sink under the bubbles as she let out a happy sigh.
"Ive been needing one of these." She said under her breath as she closed her eyes and laid her head on the side of the tub.
"Last night was so amazing. Im so happy that I have Seto in my life." She began speaking to herself.
"Hes so sweet, and protective. He makes me the happiest person." She smiled widely at her own statement.
Tea jumped at the sound of another voice, and covered herself in instinct.
"You know, they say talking to yourself is a sign of insanity." a shirtless Seto said, giggling at the shocked expression on her face.
She glared at him "Yeah, well so are crazed mood swings like yours." She swiftly replied back as she stuck her toungue out.
"Aw thats not nice, my mood swings arent that bad. Just when I havent had my coffee. Its totally cool to flail on the ground screaming when someone doesnt get me my coffee right?" Seto joked.
"Oh of course, thats the best part!" Tea joked back as Seto made his way to the tub and sat on the edge.
He bent down and gave her a kiss, bubbles getting caught on his chin in the process. He smiled and wiped them away.
"Hey can I talk to you about something?" Seto asked, getting slightly more serious.
"Sure, whats up?"
"I think Tristan and Joey should know about us. Theyre your friends, and I dont want you to have the burden of keeping such a big secret from them." He said, getting straight to the point.
"Plus, I think that if they know Yugis cool with it, then they might not be as enraged by the news." He added.
"Well thats true. But what if it goes the complete opposite? They get so angry that they tell the entire school, then the news finds out and the whole city knows. Then its on the front page of every magazine and boom now the world." She said.
"Well thanks for being so optomistic about it Geez." He mocked.
"Look, I just dont want you to have to keep anything from your friends. I understand why you wouldnt tell them about you being raped, or you living with me. But we cant keep it a secret forever and they are your friends. They know you better than anyone and theyll find out eventually without you telling them. And that will just make them angrier that you didnt tell them in the first place." Seto made a good point.
"Yeah I guess you're right. But how come I have to tell them? Joeys going to flip his lid!"
"Well I sure as hell am not telling him, they're your friends. And Joey wont punch you!" He retorted.
"Yeah, you're right. Why are you always right?" She grumbled.
"Cause Im the damn Kaibaman." He stated before kissing her on the nose and leaving the bathroom to finish getting dressed.
"Cocky bastard!" She yelled to him. as she laughed at his previous statement.
He turned around flexing and stretching his body, showing every inch of raw muscle. "Whatd you say babe? Cocky, well from the look on your face, I think I have the right to be." He said before finally exiting.
Teas jaw snapped shut as she realized shed been staring at him open mouthed.
Why does he have to be so hott? Why?
Tea began to exit the bathtub gathering her towel and wrapping it around herself. She blow dried her hair, straightened it. And then put it up into a loose bun too tired to style it today.
She slipped into her undergarments, then into her school uniform and met Seto at the breakfast table.
She had a bowl of fruity pebbles and a half of an orange.
"So how am I getting to school?" Tea asked.
"Well you can take one of my cars, or I can drop you at the bus stop. But if we go to school together, thatd look pretty suspicious.
"Yeah I know, I think Ill go with the bus stop idea, Im too afraid I might wreck one of your beautiful cars."
"You should have more faith in yourself." He jokingly scolded.
"By the way, There is a doctors note in your bag, you had Mono. Okay?" He told her.
"Yep, gotcha. So you managed to get a forged doctors note?" She asked.
"Yeah from the family doctor, the one that took care of you. He understood about keeping the incident from the school. So he helped me out with it." Seto explained.
"Aww look at the love birds eating brea-" Mokubas taunting was cut off by an orange to the side of the face.
"Have fun at school Mokuba." Seto yelled cheerfully.
"JERK!" Mokuba yelled back.
Seto proudly smiled at his perfect aim and motioned for Tea to follow him to the limo where she was then dropped at the bus stop.
Getting to the school, she made her way through the hallways being greeted by everyone who she passed.
As she got to her locker she noticed that it was decorated in pink paper with the words 'Welcome back, were glad your all better' Written on it. A masterpiece only bubbly enough to have been made by the ass kissing cheerleaders.
As she undid her lock and opened the locker to get her books, she was stopped by all of her friends, almost tackling her into a hug, minus Yugi who just stood and watched in amusement.
"Woah woah woah!" She yelled as she almost toppled over. "Hey guys good seeing you." She said to them.
"Tea we missed you so much! Yugi told us that you were sick but for two weeks! What was wrong with you, are you okay?" Tristan spat out all in one breath.
"Geez Tristan chill out, yah suffacatin er'. What Tristan here is trying to say is we was worried aboutcha Tea, we juss wanna make sure yah alright."
"Yeah guys I feel great. I actually had mono, and my parents put me in the hospital until I was better. Its gone now though." She smiled a chipper smile as the tension in everyones shoulders was loosened by finally knowing what had happened to their friend.
"I do have to talk to you guys about something at lunch though, okay?" Tea said
"Oh- Okay." Tristan and Joey said in unison.
Yugi gave her a quick glance, as Tea nodded at him.
At that point they both had an understanding of the conversation that would go on at lunch.
The group the resided to their classes and awaited lunch.
The time came a little faster then Tea had prepared for, but she knew that this was the only time she could tell them.
They gathered into the busy lunch room getting their food, then going to sit outside by the fountain. Their usual spot.
"So whatd you wanna talk to us about Tea?" Joey asked almost immediatley.
"Well" She gave a quick glance to Yugi, looking for some sort of support.
"Before I start, I just want to make it clear that you guys are the greatest friends I could ever ask for, and I would never by any means, put anyone before you guys."
"Alriighht." Joey said in confusion.
"Okay, here it goes. Ive met someone really amazing, and we are beginning to get pretty serious." She said.
"Aw well thats great Tea, whos the lucky guy?" Joey asked.
"Heres the kicker." She let out a nervous giggle "Its, its Seto Kaiba." She said quickly forcing his name out.
There was silence for a moment as everyone but Yugi looked at her through wide shocked eyes.
"S-Seto? You mean Kaiba? As in Yugis arch rival? Tea how could you do that to Yugi?" Joey asked, his voice getting louder.
"No no, Its fine really. I actually found out the other day and Im really happy for them. Ive just been waiting for Tea to get back to school so she could tell you guys. Hes actually really nice to Tea, And, and supportive of her. And umm, look Teas her own person so she can do what she wants to okay? So calm down Joey." Yugi rambled, his nerves racked by his blonde friends anger.
"So, you are tellin' me that yous is okay with this right Yug?" Joey gritted through his teeth.
"Yes, completley fine with it. Tea is very happy with him. So your just going to have to get over it Joey." Yugi said with determination.
This seemed to calm Joey down a bit, he stayed quiet for a moment, before sighing in defeat.
"I guess Yugis right, you can make your own choices. But if he eva hurts yah Tea. Dat Kaibas a dead man!"
"Yeah what Joey said!" Tristan chimed in.
"Oh and you guys have to keep this a secret okay? Nobody else can find out, or the news will be all over it. Understand?" Tea asked.
"Clear as crystal Tea!" Tristan said cheerfully.
"Phew, you guys are the best." She said joyfully, giving Joey a huge hug.
