Chapter Eight
I knock
gently on the door to Seto’s room.
“Come in.”
I open the
door and step inside. I close the door.
Seto looks
up at me from where he sits on his bed reading a book. He smiles. “Nice
pajamas. Are they new?”
I blush as
I look down at my Red-Eyes Black Dragon t-shirt and Blue-Eyes White Dragon
lounge pants. “Yes. They are new. I couldn’t find my old pajamas, so Mokuba and
I picked this up when we went shopping.”
“I see.”
Seto closes the book and sets it on the nightstand.
I walk up
beside the bed and look at the book. “K. Summers? I’ve heard good things about
her work. Is it interesting?”
“Very
actually. Would you like to read some?”
“Yeah.” I
smile and sit down beside Seto.
“What’s on
your mind, Jou?”
I sigh. “I
have to know.”
Seto raises
an eyebrow.
“The other
night when I slept in here with you,” I say. My chest clenches. I don’t want to
know. “Did I rape you?”
Seto looks
directly into my eyes. “No. You didn’t. If anyone was raped, it was you.”
“Huh?”
“You were
asleep. You were dreaming. You didn’t know what you were doing,” says Seto, “I
tried to wake you, but I didn’t try hard enough. You said that you love me, and
I wanted that to be true so much that I would allow you to have your way with me.”
He takes a deep breath. “You did take my virginity then, Jou, but I won’t see
it as rape. For my part, it was consensual.”
“You were a
virgin?”
“Yes.”
“Why would
you want me to love you? Why would you let me have your virginity?” I crumple
my eyebrows as I look at you with desperate confusion. “Help me understand,
Seto!”
“Isn’t it
obvious, Jou? I’m in love with you,” says Seto.
My eyes
widen, and I fall off the bed.
“Jou! Are
you okay?” Seto gets up and helps me back onto his bed, this time in a lying
down position.
“That was
scary, but I’m not hurt,” I say.
“When we
first met, I thought you were stupid, and you got on my nerves a lot. It also
didn’t help that you seem to be excessively clumsy around me… rather like a
puppy that hasn’t grown into its paws yet,” says Seto, “That’s why I started
calling you the dog names. I continued because of the fiery reaction I got in
return.”
“So you
like torturing me?”
“No! I like
fighting with you! You’re so passionate when you fight with me, and you get flustered
so easily! And that appeals to me on so many levels,” says Seto, “It has taken
me such a long time to realize that your beauty and complexity arouse me. You
surprise me, Jou. Not only are you beautiful, but also you are devoted,
confident, and courageous. I’ve seen you walk straight into dangerous
situations and come out unscathed. And you are much more intelligent than I
initially thought. I admire you. I respect you. It’s taken me time to finally
admit all of this to myself and now to you. I’m in love with you, Jou!”
“You’re in
love with me?” I ask.
“Yes. Do
you know what I mean by that? You are the one special person I wish I could
spend my life with.”
“Seto… how
can you go from hating me to wanting to build a life with me?”
“I never
hated you. You annoyed me, and I didn’t handle that annoyance well. I’ve cared
for you for so long, but I would always throw it up to concern or hormones or
simple confusion…”
“You’ve
never hated me?”
“Never!”
“I’ve never
hated you.”
Seto leans
forward quickly and kisses my forehead. “For now that is all I can hope for.”
I wrap my
arms around you in a warm embrace. “Now, since I’m already in bed, do you mind
if I sleep in here with you?”
“One
condition.”
“What’s
that?”
“You sleep
under the comforter only. It won’t do to have you jumping me in your sleep
again,” says Seto smiling.
“Deal!” I
pull the comforter down and crawl in between it and the rest of the blankets.
“The next
time we make love, I want it to be completely consensual for the both of us,”
says Seto, “Go ahead and fall asleep if you can. I’ll join you in a moment.”
I cuddle in
the blanket and close my eyes. I hear Seto go into the bathroom.
Seto comes
out of the bathroom wearing his bathrobe. He turns the lights down so they cast
a dim light around the room before he sheds the robe and climbs beneath all the
blankets naked. He slides close to me and wraps his arms around me. “Sleep
well, Jou.”
I rest my
head on Seto’s shoulder and let sleep come now that I’m safe.
* * *
I spend a
lot of time with Seto over the next weeks. I keep seeing little flashes of Yami
in him. We ride to school together every day after we drop Mokuba off at his
school, and we sit side by side at lunch. I eat the wonderful bento that Seto
always makes for me and then I finish his because he doesn’t eat much.
After
school, I walk to the Kame Game Shop with all my friends, and the limo picks me
up after Mokuba’s soccer practice so that the two of us can go together to the
Kaiba Corp building and drag Seto home for dinner. After dinner, we all watch a
movie or play a game together… of course that’s after we all do our homework
together. Seto’s a wonderful teacher. I understand math a lot better now. I
still crawl into his bed most nights, and he holds me while I sleep.
I know why
Yami wanted me to get to know Seto better. Seto is Yami in so many ways. I love
them both, but I don’t know who I’m in love with. I haven’t spoken to Yami
since that morning, and Seto hasn’t told me he loves me again. I can see that
he still does though. He just doesn’t want to pressure me… I’m more confused
about my feelings than ever!
I walk into
Seto’s room without knocking. I freeze when I see him standing there with his
shirt off, caught in the act of changing, but that isn’t what’s made me catch
my breath.
On the
bicep of Seto’s left arm, a Blue-Eyes White Dragon twists around a Red-Eyes
Black Dragon in a classic yin-yang pose.
I know that
tattoo! Yami!
“Jou?”
I snap back
to reality. “I just noticed your tattoo. It’s so beautiful! Yami has one just
like it.”
“Not
exactly. This tattoo is one of a kind. I designed it personally,” says Seto.
“That can’t
be!” I know that tattoo. I’ve stared at it for hours! It’s the exact
same as Yami’s, even down to the tiny gem-like eggs that border it! That’s
Yami’s tattoo…
“Are you
saying I couldn’t design a tattoo?” Seto glares at me.
“Huh? Oh,
no. I meant that tattoo is the exact same as Yami’s,” I say walking up to Seto
and feeling his arm. “The eggs… the loving look in the blue eyes… the loyal
expression on the black face… the submissiveness in the drooping black tail…
the possessiveness of the white… These two dragons aren’t sure whether they
want to engage in an aerial battle or aerial sex!”
Seto’s eyes
soften, and he blushes. “I’ve never seen it that way before.”
“You should
have. These dragons are desperately in love with each other!”
Seto pulls
me into a warm embrace. “Thank you.”
I wrap my
arms around Seto and hold him close to me. “You’re welcome, Seto…”
“Now what
did you come in here for?” Seto pulls away and smiles at me.
I pull the
two tickets for the Duel Monsters Expo from my pocket. “The Expo is this
weekend! We’re still going, aren’t we?”
“Of course,
we’re going! I wouldn’t miss this for the world!” exclaims Seto.
“Great!” I
exclaim, “I think you should wear something sleeveless so people can see that
cool tattoo of yours!”
“Only if
you wear the Blue-Eyes t-shirt.”
“Already
planned on it! White jeans, Blue-Eyes White Dragon t-shirt, and my Red-Eyes
Black Dragon leather jacket!” I smile. “Speaking of which, have you noticed any
new additions to your wardrobe?”
“No…”
I rush to
Seto’s closet and dive into it. I come out wearing a sleeveless white trench
coat in a style very typical for the brunet’s tastes.
“My coat?”
“This is a
new one,” I say turning so you can see the back.
Seto
chuckles. “A Blue-Eyes on the back!”
“Yep! This
is white leather, by the way. Deer-hide so it’s very soft,” I say taking the
coat off, “I had it custom made for you. I hope it fits.”
“I’m sure it
will fit great.” You walk up to me and take the coat to slip it on over your
bare chest. “Perfect fit.”
“Beautiful,”
I whisper touching you chest lightly, “You’re so strong.”
“All the
better to sweep you off your feet,” you whisper.
All the
color rushes to my cheeks.
“So… aside
from your coat, you’ll be dressed like a Blue-Eyes, right?” asks Seto with a
small smirk just barely twisting his lips.
“Yeah, I
am,” I say, “I’ll be wearing both of our favorite dragons.”
“I think I
will do the same. You don’t happen to have a muscle shirt with a Red-Eyes on it
that I could borrow, do you?” asks Seto, “Something I could wear black jeans
with, perhaps…”
“Wait right
here!” I exclaim rushing from the room. I burst through the door into my room
and yank open the top drawer of my dresser. I pull out a shimmering white
muscle tee with the Red-Eyes Black Dragon in defensive position on the chest.
The tee fits me well enough, but on Seto it should show off every muscle he
has. I hurry back to Seto’s room and hold up the shirt for him to see. “This
would look perfect on you!”
Seto takes
off his coat and grabs the shirt to pull it on.
I was
right. He might as well be naked. The shirt fits him like a glove. “Beautiful…”
Seto
smiles. “I’m glad you approve.”
I can’t help
but blush as I look into your eyes and smile. “Yeah. I do.”
“We’ll
leave right after breakfast on Friday, and we’ll be spending the night in a
hotel in Tokyo so pack an overnight bag. I’ve already made the arrangements
with Yugi’s grandfather so they’ll be staying with us in the hotel,” says Seto.
I hug Seto
quickly. “Thank you, Seto!”
“I know it
means a lot to you…” Seto returns my embrace. “… To have all your friends
close.”
“Including
you,” I say cuddling further into your arms. My heart swells with joy as I
relax against you. It feels like you were built just to hold me like this… like
we were meant to be…
* * *
I wake up
with a kiss on my cheek. I open my eyes and look up at Seto. I can’t help but
smile at the look on his face.
“I see you
no longer think you need to ask about sleeping with me,” says Seto, “Did you
have trouble sleeping last night?”
“Yeah. I
was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep. You seemed to have no such problems
so I thought I could absorb some of your calmness to go to sleep,” I say
sitting up, “It worked. I fell right to sleep.”
“It worked
in reverse too.”
Our faces
are only inches apart. It wouldn’t take but a slight movement for our lips to
be touching, but I won’t be the one to move either way.
“Reverse?”
“I woke up
two hours ago, and I was too excited to go back to sleep,” says Seto smiling,
“So I’ve picked outfits for us both to wear to the opening ceremony to the
Expo. We’ll save your dragon idea for Saturday. I do need to look professional
today.”
“Okay!
Let’s get dressed and go have breakfast then!”
Seto licks
his lips slowly before pulling away from me and standing.
I push the
blankets off and stand up. “I still need to pack my overnight bag anyway. I am
wearing my pajamas after all.”
“Should I show
you your outfit first or mine?” you ask with a smile.
“Just give
me my clothes. I’ll go get dressed and then we can admire how the other looks
over breakfast!”
Seto nods
and he steps into his closet. He comes back out with a garment bad and a small suitcase.
“Here. You can put the clothes you’re taking in the suitcase.”
“Thank
you!” I exclaim grabbing both items from Seto and kissing your cheek before
running out of the room. I duck into my bedroom and swing the door mostly
closed. I toss everything on my bed and grab three clean pairs of underwear and
socks that I put in the suitcase and an extra set to wear today. I pack my
outfit for tomorrow before pulling off my pajamas and folding them to put in
the suitcase. I take my clean underwear into the bathroom so I can shower,
brush my teeth and hair and do my morning rituals. I wrap my toiletries in a
hand-towel before placing them in my suitcase and closing it. Then I proceed to
get dressed.
* * *
“You make a
very cute Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Jou!” exclaims Mokuba when he notices me enter
the dining room.
I blush.
“Thank you. I love the colors, but I feel so silly… like I’m going to my own
wedding or something!”
“It’s a
suit. Not a tux,” says Mokuba, “Although you would look fetching getting
married in that!” He smiles and whispers, “So long as it’s to my brother…”
“Quit
tormenting Jou, Mokuba,” says Seto as he steps into the room behind me.
“Cool! A
Blue-Eyes White Dragon suit!” exclaims Mokuba smiling. “You look very handsome
together! Seto’s the bride!”
Seto
blushes. “Only for the right person…”
I wear
black suit pants. Seto wears white. I wear a red button-down shirt that barely
peeks out at the cuffs. Seto’s button-down shirt is light, no, medium… wait,
we’ll just call it sky blue. I wear a diagonally striped crimson and burgundy
tie. Seto wears a horizontally striped sapphire and navy blue tie. I wear a
black suit jacket. Seto wears a white jacket. I have a crimson handkerchief in
my left breast pocket, and Seto’s handkerchief is sapphire blue. We both wear
matching black dress shoes. We match the yin-yang tattoo inked into Seto’s
flesh.
“Have you
noticed the other item?” asks Seto pulling a pair of sunglasses out of his
inside breast pocket, and he slips them on. The frames themselves are sapphire
blue, and the lenses are blue-tinted. “A lot of the Expo will be in outside
booths, but a lot also happens indoors.”
I reach
into my pocket and pull out my sunglasses to put them on. My frames are red,
and the lenses are also tinted red. “Hey, I’m looking at the world through
rose-tinted glasses!”
Seto
chuckles. He removes his glasses and puts them away before sitting down. “Are
you all packed, Jou?”
“Yeah.” I
put my sunglasses away and sit down to eat. “I put my suitcase by the front
door. Once we eat, I’m ready to go!”
“Good,”
says Seto with a smile. “Now remember, Mokuba. We’re dropping you off at school
and the limo will pick you up after so you can go to your friend’s house for
the sleepover.”
“Could I
bring them back here?” asks Mokuba.
“So long as
it’s okay with their family,” says Seto.
“Thanks!”
exclaims Mokuba, “You two have fun!”
We finish
breakfast in record time and take the limo to Mokuba’s school to drop him off
before we go to the Kame Game Shop to collect Yugi and Grandpa Motou.
“Thank you
for flying us to Tokyo with you,” says Grandpa.
“No thanks
necessary. The helicopter has enough room for all of us,” says Seto. He places
his arm over my shoulders, and I lean into him.
Grandpa
smiles fondly. “Oh, I see…”
“See what?”
I ask resting my head on Seto’s shoulder.
“What is
Kaiba Corp exhibiting this year?” asks Yugi quickly.
“An
upgraded Duel Disc system, and we’re unveiling the plans for a special
Duelist’s Academy where anyone with the talent to get in can get an education
while also training to join the pro circuit. Only top duelists will be allowed
in,” says Seto, “but there’s tests that anyone can take. If they score high
enough on the written tasks and the practical Duel Monsters demonstration
match, they get in.”
“Wow! Can I
get in?” I ask looking up at you hopefully, lovingly.
“No. You’ll
be too old by the time the academy is built. I’m just testing the market right
now to see if there’s interest,” says Seto.
I lower my
eyes forlornly.
“But I
would love you to be a guest speaker or part-time instructor or
something if we do build the school,” you say.
“Really?” I
ask hopefully again as I look into Seto’s eyes once more.
Seto
caresses my cheek and smiles. “There will be a place for you if you want it…”
“I want! I
want!” I practically throw myself into Seto’s lap. My heart soars in
excitement, and my body flushes from our close proximity to each other. I
cuddle close to you, and before I know what’s happened, we’ve stepped out of
the hotel’s courtesy car in front of the convention center where the Expo is
just getting under way. I look around and see a lot of familiar faces.
“I’m
scheduled to give a speech about the school at noon,” says Seto, “but after
that I’m free to go wherever you want to, Jou.”
“What time
is it now? I don’t have a watch,” I say.
“Just past
ten,” says Seto looking at his wrist, “I have to be ready for the speech
fifteen minutes early, so we have a little time before that to explore.”
“I want to
see your Duel Disc sometime,” I say.
“You have
your deck, right?”
“Of
course!”
“Will you
give a demonstration on my new Duel Disc? You versus the computer?” asks Seto.
My lips
widen into a huge grin. “Yeah!”
“Come on
then. We have to go talk to Pegasus!” exclaims Seto, “He’s here to promote some
of the new card releases. Maybe we can borrow some to add to your deck for the
demo! He might let you keep them!”
I grab
Seto’s hand. “Where is he?”
Seto
squeezes my hand. “He has a conference room that he’s turned into a card shop.”
We walk
quickly, hand-in-hand, into the convention center to find Pegasus Crawford.
“Kaiba-boy!
Katsuya!” exclaims Pegasus as soon as we enter his card room. His eyes shoot
down to our clasped hands, and his smile widens. “What can I help you with?”
“Jou is
going to give a demonstration on the new Kaiba Corp Duel Disc, and so we’re
looking for any new cards that we could showcase too,” says Seto.
Pegasus
glances at our joined hands again. “I think I have one that he’d like…”
“What?” I
sound excited even to my own ears.
Pegasus
leads us over to a display case and pulls out a card that shows an ornate
bottle filled with pink liquid. “I like your matching outfits. Very suiting for
you.”
“Thanks,” I
say, “I like them too!” I lean into Seto. “It was all Seto’s idea though.”
“This is
the perfect card for your deck, Katsuya,” says Pegasus, “When you have your
Red-Eyes on the field and your opponent summons the Blue-Eyes, play this card.”
“What’s it
called?” I ask.
“Love
Potion #9.” Pegasus smiles and hands me the card. “Take good care of it. I’ll
be watching to see you use it. If you use this card to win, it’s yours.”
“Oh, thank
you! I’d hug you, but that would be too weird!”
“Hug
Kaiba-boy. He’s the one who brought you here after all,” says Pegasus.
“Yeah!” I
throw one arm around Seto’s neck and tighten my grip on your hand, which I
still hold. “Thank you, Seto!”
Seto wraps
his other arm around my waist and clings to me longingly.
I slowly
pull away, letting our touch linger. “What does this card do anyway?”
“What’s it
say?” asks Seto looking at the card in my hand.
“It’s an
Equip Magic Card. When played on an opponent’s monster of the same type as one
of yours, your opponent’s monster falls in love with yours and will stand in
front of your monster to protect it and eliminate any monster that tries to
attack yours,” says Pegasus.
“So if I
played this against Seto’s Blue-Eyes while I have my Red-Eyes on the field…?”
“The
Blue-Eyes will fall in love with the Red-Eyes and effectively switch sides, but
you don’t have any control over it, Katsuya,” explains Pegasus, “It would
protect your Red-Eyes though. I’m really interested to see it in action. The
Duel Monsters almost seem to have an A.I. when used with Kaiba Corp tech, and
those dragons have a fierce rivalry… so it could be interesting.”
I slip the
card into the pocket where I have my deck, and I stay right beside Seto as we
wile away the time looking at the newest cards.
We wind up
rushing to get Seto to his platform in time for his speech, yet he still makes
time to ensure my comfort and visibility.
“I’d like
you to sit here, Jou,” says Seto sending a quick glare to the man already
sitting in the front row, center seat.
“Why can’t
I sit in the empty one right beside him?” I ask.
“Because I
want to be able to see you no matter where I’m looking,” you say honestly.
My heart
fills with joy at the sound of those words.
“It’s all
right. I understand completely. I’ll move over so the young man can sit here,”
says the man moving to the seat beside him.
“Thank
you,” says Seto bowing respectfully to the man, “Jou, please sit here. I have
to get ready…”
“Okay.” I
sit down in the recently vacated seat before Seto moves away to get his
diagrams, models, and slide show presentation ready for his speech.
“I think
this is the first time I’ve ever seen that young man nervous to be giving a
speech in front of a crowd,” says the man beside me, “He must really care about
your opinion of him.”
I simply
smile… for the man’s sake and also during the entire presentation except for
when I switch to more appropriate expressions of awe or immense joy.
Seto’s eyes
fall on me more often than not as he speaks. “Several current dueling champions
have already expressed interest in being speakers or teachers of some manner.
Thank you.”
“Kaiba-sama!
Which duelists want to teach?” calls a woman in the crowd.
“Kujaku Mai
has already expressed interest in having a quarterly speaker position. I am in
negotiations with Motou Yugi, and Jounouchi Katsuya has decided he would like
to teach,” says Seto, “Although nothing has been confirmed at this time, and
all discussions will remain open until the school is built. Thank you all.
Please enjoy the Expo.” He walks away from his microphone despite the rapid
questions, and he holds out his hand for me.
I take
Seto’s hand and let him lead me away. “Can I try your Duel Disc now?”
“Would you
like lunch first?”
“No…”
“Let’s tell
Pegasus we’re getting ready then,” says Seto.
* * *
<<
Summoning Blue-Eyes White Dragon, >> says the computerized voice of my
dueling opponent, << Attack Scapegoat token. >>
“Stop
attack!” I exclaim activating my hidden trap card.
<<
Attack prevented. Battle phase ended. Turn ended. >>
I close my
eyes and wish for the card I need. I draw from the stack of cards in my Duel
Disc and look at it. I smile. “I play this card, Monster Reborn to bring back
my Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the field.”
With a
brilliant display of light, my dragon appears in front of me thanks to the
holographic projectors of the Duel Disc system.
“Next, I
play this Equip Magic Card… Love Potion #9… on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!”
Everyone
waits with baited breath as the white dragon drinks the pink liquid from the
bottle.
The
Blue-Eyes looks at the Red-Eyes for a moment before flying up into the air with
a roar, and my Red-Eyes roars in answer before flying up as well. The two
dragons circle each other in what is either a prelude to a fight or a
complicated mating ritual. After a moment, both dragons land in front of me.
They nuzzle each other’s head and turn their gazes to the emptiness of the
other half of the field.
“Blue-Eyes,
I know you won’t listen to me, but please protect your chosen mate,” I say,
“Red-Eyes, attack his life points directly!”
The black
dragon roars as it unleashes its attack.
“End turn,”
I say.
<<
Summoning second Blue-Eyes White Dragon, >> says the computer, and
another white dragon appears. << Destroy Red-Eyes Black Dragon. >>
I hold my
breath as I see the computer’s dragon shoot its blast towards my dragon,
but the amorous Blue-Eyes steps in front and takes the brunt of the attack.
“Love
Potion #9 gives the Blue-Eyes an additional 500 attack points in order to
protect its mate!” exclaims Pegasus with a smile.
The amorous
Blue-Eyes attacks and destroys the computer’s dragon.
“Now,
Red-Eyes! Take out the rest of its life points!” I exclaim, and my dragon
obeys.
The
Red-Eyes and Blue-Eyes nuzzle each other before their holograms fade.
I turn
towards you and Pegasus with a smile, and I rush to hold you in my arms. “That
card is so cool!”
“As
promised, it is yours now, Katsuya,” says Pegasus before walking away.
“Nice
moves,” says Seto. “I feel sorry for the dragons having so little time to enjoy
their love.”
“Me too.”
“Let’s not
make the same mistake,” whispers Seto caressing my cheek, and he smiles when I
blush. “Now what would you like to do?”
“Now I’m
ready to eat!”
Seto wraps
his arm around my waist as we leave his demo area.
* * *
“Seto! Jou!
Hurry up or we’ll miss the fireworks!” exclaims Yugi running ahead of us,
“Grandpa’s already there! Come on!”
“You aren’t
cold in that sleeveless coat, are you, Seto?” I ask as I run alongside Seto. I
wear white jeans, my Blue-Eyes White Dragon t-shirt and a long-sleeved black
trench coat with the Red-Eyes Black Dragon on the back.
“If I get
too cold, you’ll wrap your arms around me to warm me, won’t you?” asks Seto
smirking as we run. He wears black jeans, a white Red-Eyes Black Dragon muscle
tee, and a sleeveless white trench coat with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the
back.
If we would
switch coats, we’d be dressed like each other’s namesake dragons. As is, we are
a nice blending of the two… almost as if our dragons are mates… as if we
are mates.
“Of course
I’ll keep you warm.” I smile.
We hurry to
the balcony where Grandpa Motou and Yugi are now reserving our standing room.
Just as we arrive, the first explosion lights up the dark sky.
“Kuriboh!”
exclaims Grandpa in awe at seeing the shape of the lights.
I stand
beside Seto and wrap my arms around him to warm his chilly arms as we watch the
Duel Monsters light the sky. “Oh, a Red-Eyes!”
“And a
heart!” exclaims Yugi as the next firework goes off before the Red-Eyes can
fade.
“A
Blue-Eyes! It’s a message. Red-Eyes loves Blue-Eyes,” says Seto looking
straight at me, “I wonder if this is because of your duel earlier.”
“Doesn’t
matter. It’s true anyway,” I say looking back at you.
Seto
touches my neck and licks his lips. “I won’t do it if you don’t want me to, but
may I kiss you, Jou?”
My heart
pounds in my chest. Yes! I want you to kiss me! I want you to… “I couldn’t
think of a more perfect time for you to kiss me.”
Seto pulls
me closer to him and lifts my chin as his lips descend towards my own. He
presses his lips against mine lightly before backing off to wet my lips with
his tongue.
I part my
lips to give him better access, and when you lean back in, you kiss me longer…
slipping your tongue through my lips and into my mouth. I cling to Seto as you
explore my mouth. I love you… I know now… I realize… I’m in love with…
Seto pulls
away slightly and places one final, chaste kiss to my lips.
“Oh, look!
The grand finale!” exclaims Yugi.
I snuggle
into Seto’s arms as we watch the climactic battle of the Duel Monster
fireworks.
“So cool…”
I kiss your lips quickly. “Thank you for bringing me here.”
“I wanted
to share this experience with the person I’m in love with,” says Seto.
“I know
what you mean,” I say.
“It’s over
now,” says Yugi turning towards us as the sky starts to lighten.
“That was
very impressive using the magic card Yami and your holographic projectors to
make the afternoon dark enough for fireworks,” says Grandpa, “Did you plan the
fireworks as well?”
“That was
Mokuba,” says Seto, “He worked with the firework vendors. He helped plan the
timing. It was all him, but he left a little leeway.” He rubs my back. “So, do
we want to eat now or on the ride home?”
“Can we eat
in the helicopter on the way home? Ryou and I have a… well, it’s not exactly a
date…” Yugi lowers his eyes and blushes.
“It’s okay,
Yugi. I know exactly what you mean,” I say moving from your arms to pull Yugi
into a quick hug.
“I’ll
contact the hotel and have them make us a picnic dinner,” says Seto pulling out
his cell phone.
Grandpa,
Yugi, and I talk about all the things we’ve seen while Seto makes his call.
Then we all head back to the hotel with Seto holding my right hand and Yugi
clutching my left.

“I need to
pick up Mokuba so I can give you a ride to the Kame Game Shop,” says Seto.
“Thank
you,” says Grandpa.
“I’ll be
going out,” I say, “so I won’t be home when you get back.”
Seto nods.
“We’ll leave the limo for you.”
“Thanks.” I
watch Seto, Yugi, and Grandpa head towards the garage before I take my bag
inside and up to my room. I brush my teeth and my hair before I go down and
call the limo driver.
It seems to
take forever to get to the Love Shack, but finally, I’m standing in front of
it.
“Wait
here,” I say to the driver, and I head inside the club. I pass by a darkened
table with four figures huddled together. I walk straight towards our usual
table and see you sitting there with your back to me. I freeze for a moment.
What do I do?
The music
is pounding through my veins.
Someone
walks by me and whistles. “Here dragon, dragon!”
I didn’t
change out of my Blue-Eyes attire or my Red-Eyes jacket. I take a deep breath
and walk towards you.
You wear a
sleeveless white jacket with a Blue-Eyes on the back… just like Seto when he
left the mansion.
“Yami?” I
ask.
You turn
around, and my breath catches in my throat. You aren’t you. You’re Seto!
I must be
dreaming! Wake up, Jou! Wake up! You’re dreaming again! This isn’t real.
“Hikari… I
wasn’t sure if you’d come,” says Seto, “You’re so late.”
“Yami?” I
ask quietly, “Seto?”
“Yes, Jou…
my Hikari. It’s me.” It sounds like you. It sounds like Seto. I must still be
dreaming. Why haven’t I woken up yet?
“No… no!” I
turn and run. Tears fill my eyes so I don’t see Yugi and Ryou trying to stand
in my way. My heartache is all I hear. I run out of the club and dive into the
limo. “Home! Home!”
“Yes,
Jounouchi-sama.”
I collapse
in a fit of tears. How could this have happened?
* * *
“Big
brother!” exclaims Mokuba rushing out of the shadows and into Seto’s arms.
“What happened?”
Seto lifts
Mokuba in his arms. “Let’s go…”
Grandpa
Motou, Ryou, and Yugi follow Seto and Mokuba out of the club.
“Seto? Are
you okay?” asks Ryou.
“I guess he
really did love Yami and not me…” Seto’s voice cracks on the last word.
“I’m sorry,
Seto,” says Mokuba.
“What did
he say?” asks Yugi.
“Nothing.
He said nothing. He just called out my name… both of them… then he said ‘no’
and ran away,” says Seto setting Mokuba on the trunk of his car. He closes his
eyes. “I really do love him, but he…”
“You can’t
control who you fall in love with,” says Grandpa Motou, “or who doesn’t fall in
love with you…”
“But we
were doing so well!”
Mokuba
wipes away the tears that spill through Seto’s eyelashes. “We know, Seto. We
all thought Jou would be happy to find out that you’re his Yami.”
“Did you
want one of us to drive you home?” asks Grandpa.
Seto nods
as his silent sobs rack his body. He pulls out the car keys and passes them to
Grandpa.
Grandpa
opens the car, and everyone gets inside.
Mokuba and
Yugi share the backseat with Seto and try to comfort him as best as they can.
Grandpa
drives the car back to the Kaiba Mansion here Mokuba leans out the window to
punch in the code to open the gate. Then he drives up and parks in front of the
house.
“You can
take the car if you want to go home, but you’re welcome to spend the night
here,” says Seto as they climb out.
Yugi looks
at Grandpa who nods. He smiles. “We still have our luggage so we’ll stay.”
“I’m going
to bed,” says Seto leading everyone into the house. He stops by a locked
cabinet, and after fishing out a small key, he retrieves a bottle of scotch
that he carried upstairs with him. He pauses for a moment outside my room
before continuing forward to enter his.
