Timeline: Shortly after Down in the Dungeon.

Length: 366 words

Dedication: For my beautiful Bahen, who has been encouraging me since the beginning and continues to inspire me to get my ass in gear. You guys owe her more than you'll ever know...


Consideration

"I don't understand," Yami finally admitted as he looked up from the object on the table to Kaiba.

Quietly huffing to himself, Kaiba sounded brusque as he demanded, "What's not to understand? It's a phone. You've seen one before, yes?"

Ignoring the sarcasm, Yami persisted, "Yes, but why?"

There was no way for Kaiba to verbalize the fear Yami getting trapped in the dungeon had caused. True, Yami had been fine, but it could have been much worse and Kaiba would have had no way of knowing until it was too late if it had happened anywhere else. "Not all of us are telepathic," Kaiba muttered, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment over the admission of such a ridiculous notion. "Some of us require more reliable forms for communication."

Understanding caused Yami's gaze to soften before it alighted with perversion. "So you're saying there have been times when you've wanted to call me?" Yami teased.

Rolling his eyes at the lack of Yami's subtly, Kaiba said, "Since you can't keep yourself out of trouble, it is a good idea for you to have one in case you need something."

"Like you?" Yami suggested with a wink that caused Kaiba to chuckle despite himself. When Kaiba started to protest, Yami leaned forward and interrupted him with a tender kiss. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Kaiba mumbled, feeling a small weight lifted off of his chest, knowing that Yami could contact him if something happened. It made Kaiba feel less…something.

Kaiba continued drinking his coffee as Yami familiarized himself with his phone, subtly watching him over the rim of his mug. He couldn't help but smirk as Yami questioned in exasperation, "Seto, did you really have to list Jounouchi-kun as, 'Mutt,' in my contacts?"

"Are you going to change it?" Kaiba challenged, his blue eyes bright with amusement at the absent teen's expense.

"I guess I should be lucky you put his number in there at all," Yami commented instead of answering, secretly entertained by the childishness of Kaiba's actions.

"Absolutely," Kaiba agreed before pulling Yami over for another kiss, causing the former pharaoh to chuckle at the possessiveness of the action before giving himself over completely to the pleasure.


A/N: Since she's been asking for this one before I started taking dedications, I figured it was only fitting to have it go up next. Not quite "The Gift Fic," you might have been expecting, but there you go. XD

...why do I feel like I'm setting myself up for a phone sex drabble?

This week's post is going to be a little late, but I'd like to get it up by some time Monday since I have the day off due to holiday. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this little drabble!
