Yu-Gi-Oh! Shipping List #23 - "Moving On"

--------------------------------------------

Battleshipping (Seto x Katsuya x Yuugi)

It was the third anniversary of the day Yami…Atemu…had passed on to the afterlife. This day was always tough on Yugi. Deep down, he had always wished Yami could have stayed; but that was a fairy tale. Ghosts could not live amongst the living. And no matter how Yugi played the thought in his head, it simply did not work that way. Happy endings were bittersweet.

It was raining in Domino. It seemed to fit his mood just fine, as Yugi stared out the too-large window overlooking the gardens at the Kaiba estate. Jounouchi appeared behind him with a cup of warm tea and Yugi offered him a hollow but grateful smile as he took the offering and brought the steaming liquid before him, allowing its heat to fog the window.

Reaching over, Jounouchi drew a smiley face with his star-shaped hair on the window pane. "Smile."

Yugi couldn't help but smile at his friend's…lover's…antics. Jounouchi could make anyone smile, even Seto Kaiba. Yugi scooted over, until he could lean against Jounouchi, each facing the opposite direction, as he brought the tea cup to his lips, taking a sip of the heated amber liquid and enjoying the feeling of it sliding down his throat.

"You're defacing my windows now?"

Yugi turned his head to see Seto had entered the room. He was referring to an incident that had occurred when Jounouchi had first moved in with him. The blonde had gotten lost after going for a midnight snack and couldn't find his room for over an hour so when he did find it he took a marker and drew a smiley face on his door, so he wouldn't loose it again. Unfortunately, it was a permanent marker and Seto had not been pleased. To this day, whenever he caught Jounouchi altering his house in anyway, he referred to that incident. But Yugi got the feeling that this time he was trying to lighten the mood.

"Yes," Jounouchi answered, puffing up his chest proudly. "This time I thought I'd draw up a rough draft so that when I scratch in the final image you won't find it so artistically offensive."

Yugi giggled, he couldn't help it.

"Ha ha." Seto replied sarcastically. "You know, if I had known that the first thing you were going to do in my house was graffiti it, I never would have invited you to live here."

"Oh please." Jounouchi replied, waving a hand dismissively. "My "graffiti" was better lookin' than that crap you call "art" you got framed in some o' those rooms an' you know it. You should be thanking me. Really. I saved that bedroom door. I gave it class."

It was a long-standing argument.

"You wouldn't know "class" if came up and bit you in the ass."

They never really argued seriously anymore. But they still argued. Jounouchi said it was their "spice" and Seto was so bland that he needed it. Jounouchi often referred to Seto in terms of food.

Jounouchi grinned devilishly. "It has and I knew it very well, thank you very much. How did that taste, by the way, was it to your liking Seto-chan?"

It was the last little barb that nicked at Seto's pride that actually upset him.

"I have told you before not to call me that."

"Yea well I tell ya not ta call me a dog an' I feel like I'm talkin' ta a cat."

"Don't even start."

"Seto, will you sit with us?" Yugi asked, deciding their altercation had run its course.

For a moment, Seto seemed a little remorseful and he answered "I was looking for you." Seto pulled an envelope from his back pocket and presented Yugi with it. Yugi took the envelope curiously. It was a plain, unmarked white envelope. It wasn't even sealed. "It came hand delivered by one of Pegasus's men. He said it was a gift for you."

Yugi turned and took the envelope, opening it with Jounouchi watching curiously over his shoulder. Inside was a single Duel Monster's card. Yugi pulled it from the envelope and turned it over. The breath caught in his throat and his eyes welled with tears. Judgment of the Pharaoh. It was Atemu. The tears fell and Yugi pulled the card close as he sobbed. Neither Jounouchi or Seto knew what to say. They stood silently for a moment until Yugi finally spoke.

"I'm sorry." he said, wiping his eyes with the back of one hand. "If it weren't today…" he trailed off.

"Most people dislike Mondays, not Tuesdays." Seto commented and Jounouchi shot him a glare.

"Seto!"

"I personally dislike Wednesdays and Sundays." Seto went on, ignoring Jounouchi's protest. "I find them inconvenient altogether. In fact, I'd say that the best perk of being your own boss is that on these days I no longer feel obligated to accomplish quite as much as on a normal day…due to their inconvenience."

Jounouchi was staring at the brunette as if he'd grown a second head. What in the hell was so inconvenient about Wednesdays? What was Seto even talking about?

"And as tomorrow happens to be a Wednesday," Seto continued "I thought it might be appropriate to spend it on some secluded Hawaiian beach where it will surely be less annoying."

It took Jounouchi a moment to translate but once he had his eyes lit up. "Does that mean you're taking us to Hawaii?" he asked, excitedly.

"My other two lovers were my first choice but since they're unable to make it…" Seto replied drolly "I suppose you'll have to do."

Yugi smiled and Seto couldn't stop the gesture from tugging at his own lips.

"Oh yea?" Jounouchi challenged. "Well my other two lovers don't like you so maybe I can't even go." Jounouchi turned his head to the side and stuck his nose in the air in mock anger.

Seto lifted one eyebrow as Yugi laughed. "Hear that Yugi?" the CEO said, reaching out for the other's hand which was given so he could pull Yugi to his feet. "Guess it's just you and me on the beach." Seto proceeded to walk away, hand in hand with Yugi. "We'll just have to think of Katsuya while we're surfing and diving and attending luaus with roast pork."

"I hear they have huge feasts and they bury the pig whole in the sand." Yugi said. "But if Jou's determined to miss it… I wouldn't want to pry. I'm sure we'll think of him while we're making out all alone on the beach at night."

"I'm sure." Seto affirmed in a tone that made it clear he would not.

"Ok, ok." Jounouchi shouted, jogging to catch up. "You all can quit making fun of me now. I'm going."

Yugi smiled and laced his fingers with each of them. "I know Yami would be happy if he could see us. I'm glad we're together."

Jounouchi tightened his grip on Yugi's hand and agreed whole-heartedly and even though Seto still felt a little ridiculous holding hands, he too tightened his grip. Yami had been the first to set him on the path that had led him to his present happiness and for that, he was grateful.
