Edmondia: sheSeth has been flirting with him and Atemu's been flirting with her
EnsTren: that makes him sad that Atemu is flirting with her but he doesn't show it
EnsTren: it makes her happy and that's what's important
Edmondia: bet he's not happy that she's returning the flirting, tho I dunno
EnsTren: makes her happy
EnsTren: and he's not as bothered as he should be
Edmondia: Atemu's trying to coax Seto into being less shy around her
EnsTren: not a chance in hell?
Edmondia: something like that
Edmondia: ...sheSeth is sitting on Seto's lap, facing him, and Atemu's standing behind her
EnsTren: He's working on his laptop
Edmondia: Seth is pouting at him and nuzzling his throat with her teeth
EnsTren: Takatakataka.
Edmondia: And she's bitten him.
EnsTren: He's ignoring her.
Edmondia: She's given an unhappy mewl. Seto?
EnsTren: I'm busy yami.
Edmondia: Too busy for me?
EnsTren: Unfortunately yes.
Edmondia: Why?
Edmondia: She nosed him. What are you doing that's keeping you so busy?
EnsTren: Composing four dimensional vector graphics.
Edmondia: That's more fun than me?
EnsTren: It's not fun, it's work.
Edmondia: When you're done, will you play with me?
EnsTren: I thought you were playing with Atemu.
Edmondia: ...I missed him, she said softly, and pulled back, curling a little closer to Atemu. Are you mad?
EnsTren: Of course not, what reason do I have to be?
Edmondia: ...I'd be jealous if I saw someone draped over you, she said softly,
Edmondia: Quite hypocritical of me, really.
EnsTren: I'm fine yamimine.
Edmondia: Really? Her fingers brushed over his lips, a lingering caress, and he pretended he wasn't watching when she leaned forward and the cutoff jean-shorts she was wearing slid up her thighs.
EnsTren: Bad Seto! Don't look at Yami's thighs! They were very nice thighs, mind you, but it still upset him on some level to think of her like that.
Edmondia: She leaned forward to kiss him and... okay, yeah, he was definitely staring down her skimpy tanktop.
EnsTren: He blinked--he just didn't open his eyes until he felt her pull away. See? Blinking.
Edmondia: She leaned in again and kissed him harder and whee.
EnsTren: He blushed, but just a little.
Edmondia: She rubbed noses and offered him a dazzling smile. And you'll come play once work is done?
Edmondia: She nipped his mouth. Promise me?
EnsTren: ...Okay.
Edmondia: I love you, Seto, she said, and kissed his lips again, very softly.
EnsTren: He managed to drag up a small sweet smile for her.
Edmondia: ...please be happy? she implored, running a hand through his hair.
EnsTren: I'm fine.
Edmondia: ...Yugi's jealous, she said softly, Atemu snuck away - I told him not to, he'll get in trouble - are you jealous too?
EnsTren: He's your husband.
Edmondia: You are my soul.
EnsTren: See? Nothing to be jealous of.
Edmondia: Her eyes were deeply troubled. But there is, she murmured, I don't want to lose you.
EnsTren: How could you?
Edmondia: I don't want you to leave me alone, she said, and then she was kissing him again, warm and hungry.
EnsTren: You want to leave me and go play, so go!
Edmondia: I don't want to leave you!
EnsTren: Atemu is right behind you so you don't have to leave to play with him.
Edmondia: We aren't going to play, we're going to talk. If we were playing I'd take you with us.
EnsTren: ...Why?
Edmondia: She gave him an odd look. Because I love you and I want you, she said simply. Because you make me feel special and loved.
EnsTren: You're very nice yamimine. Go talk to Atemu now. The faster I get this done the faster we can play.
Edmondia: She had a beautiful smile, and she gave it to him, kissed his nose, and then slid an arm around Atemu's neck and let him scoop her up off of his lap. Her shorts slid up again, and it distracted him enough that a typo slipped into a line of code.
EnsTren: He caught it though, and dragged his eyes back to his screen and fixed it, then because he was rather anal he went though everything he had typed since she sat on him.
Edmondia: He was curious, so he peeked, just a little, and they were there, out in a sunny corridor, just cuddling, speaking softly to each other, slim gold hands twined together over the plush carpet.
EnsTren: His eyes dropped and it was much easier to put his eyes to the screen.
Edmondia: He was a little ashamed of how relieved he felt, but... not really.
EnsTren: Best not to think about it.
Edmondia: They would be there when he finished.
EnsTren: Which he wouldn't if he kept on being distracted.
Edmondia: The thought was enough to grant him the concentration he needed.
EnsTren: (wrap?)
Edmondia: (mebbe)
Edmondia: (is he going to go to them?)
EnsTren: (no)
Edmondia: (why not?)
EnsTren: (sad and he is jealous)
EnsTren: (and they are pretty together, he thinks he thinks so at least)
EnsTren: (horomones aren't quite working)
Edmondia: (ah. but it's true, they aren't playing - just flirting and chaste kisses)
EnsTren: (it's pretty to him)
Edmondia: (it'd be pretty to anyone, I think - those two have gotten over the initial passion stage of a romance and are perfectly content with their own lovers - but they do still love each other)
EnsTren: (and Seto is still uncomfortable in his own sexuality)
Edmondia: (they're gonna go looking for him)
EnsTren: (...is he not going to like it?)
Edmondia: (...hard to say. he'd probably love feeling wanted, that they would rouse themselves to go find him)
EnsTren: (does he still have the "he's better for her" complex thingy?)
Edmondia: (it's fading with all the attention she's been giving him, and their long discussions about her life)
Edmondia: (and the occasional makeout sessions)
Edmondia: (remember, he's started to get jealous)
Edmondia: (so mixed feelings)
Edmondia: (...hmn.)
Edmondia: Soft swish of a door, delicate footfalls on plush carpet. Pit-pat, pit-pat, and only a few he knew moved so lightly - quick feet ready to shift and float ovver sun-scorched sands.
Edmondia: He didn't move from where he'd stretched out over his bed - didn't know if he should be angry that she'd brought Atemu into their room.
EnsTren: It wasn't as if it was their bed yet, despite what she said.
EnsTren: They had been so pretty and nicehappy together. He was better than him in everything, after all, why not with his yami too?
EnsTren: The thought hurt him some, and looking at them made him hurt a little too, so he went where he wouldn't bother them and couldn't see.
Edmondia: They followed him, pit-pat, all bright curious eyes and sungold skin, and Seth called to him, Where are you going, pretty love?
EnsTren: To lie down, my eyes hurt a little. Don't worry.
Edmondia: Then we'll come with you, she said, and then she was there, one slim gold arm twining around his, the other looped easily around Atemu's waist.
EnsTren: He sighed and rubbed his forehead. Why?
Edmondia: She was brilliant and warm. Because I love you, because you make me happy.
EnsTren: You're with Atemu though, you don't need me right now.
Edmondia: I always need you. She smiled and her hair fell against his shoulder, bright and shining. We're talking, baby.
EnsTren: I'd only be a few rooms away, and I know.
Edmondia: Miiiiiiiine, she sang, and let go of Atemu to twine herself around him, hopping up and slipping long gold legs around his waist.
EnsTren: His arm easily looped down and helped support her weight in a way Atemu could never manage in a a thousand years--especially considering he hadn't managed it in five thousand.
Edmondia: She giggled like broken glass and kissed his cheek.
EnsTren: He managed a small smile for her.
Edmondia: My Seto, she sighed happily, and rested her cheek against his shoulder.
EnsTren: Atemu's too.
Edmondia: She giggled, and he was surprised when a slim arm curled around his waist. Yugi's darkness flashed him a sly smirk, and he was more than a little startled to realize he'd seen that particular slant to his eyes before - Seth's looked exactly the same.
EnsTren: That made him very uncomfortable, but he didn't show it. When he reached their room he put her down on the couch.
Edmondia: She smiled sweetly at him and ran her bare toes up his thigh.
EnsTren: He shivered and pushed her feet down. "I'm going to go lie down." He stood up and left to the adjoining room.
Edmondia: Pit-pat. Pit-pat. "Why are you trying to leave?" she asked.
EnsTren: "My eyes hurt. I told you I was going to lie down."
Edmondia: "Lie with me," she said.
EnsTren: "No."
Edmondia: "Why not?"
EnsTren: "Because I don't feel like having people talking over me while I'm trying to rest and I would be intruding on your conversation." He shut the door and they heard the bedsprings creak as he got onto the bed.
EnsTren: He pushed the heels of his palms to his eyes, was she trying to upset or hurt him?
Edmondia: Pit-pat. A soft knock on the door, a soft inquiry against his mind, Setohoneywhat'swrong?
EnsTren: I told you already! I'm trying to rest!
Edmondia: A wave of hurt, and ohnononono that wasn't a sniffle!
EnsTren: He rolled over onto his side and clapped a pillow over his head.
Edmondia: Creak. Pit-pat, soft sobs, then leather creaked and softwarmyummydarkness pressed against his back, and she was shakingshaking.
EnsTren: GotoAtemu.
Edmondia: Sob. Soft slim hands - and then he was tugged up, and thoughtful crimson eyes were watching him closely, his pretty yami curled up on the bed between them.
Edmondia: "You made her cry," Atemu said softly, admonishingly.
EnsTren: He could say a lot of things, that it wasn't his fault that she was weak and couldn't take it when he had to shout to get her to let him rest. He could say he was sorry--or that he wasn't. That Atemu ddin't understand. To Order Atemu to take her. But he said nothing.
Edmondia: Slim gold hand, not hers, lifting to cup his cheek, delicate fingers fanning out to just barely brush his hair. Thoughtful ruby eyes. Maybe he was drowning, she made him feel like this sometimes.
EnsTren: Why wouldn't they just go away and leave him in peace? Go talk, or kiss, or fuck each other senseless. He didn't care anymore, he just wanted to be alone!
Edmondia: Sleep, those ember-bright eyes commanded, and he was about to protest and rail and yell but the world faded into black and he was asleep before his head hit the pillow.
Edmondia: He woke up to her fingers drifting through his hair.
Edmondia: He blinked stupidly up at her, feeling sleepy and content.
Edmondia: It took him several moments to realize that her fingers were trembling.
EnsTren: (how, why, and is Atemu still around?)
Edmondia: (upset because he yelled at her and that reminded her of how much bigger/stronger/SCARY he is)
Edmondia: (Atemu's still around and is having a collosal fight with Yugi)
Edmondia: (Yugi figured out where he was, screamed at him, and he screamed back)
Edmondia: (not a happy situation at all)
EnsTren: When his mind woke up completely terror struck like a lighting bolt though his heart.
EnsTren: Atemu had...put him to sleep, with a word. He had been knocked out, helpless...
EnsTren: Was everything okay? Was he harmed? Was anything missing?
Edmondia: Slim shaking fingers in his hair.
EnsTren: Atemu had gotton scary after he was knocked out? Was that why she was shaking?
EnsTren: What happened?! Could he do it again? Over a distance?
EnsTren: Could his yami do that?
Edmondia: "S-Seto?" Soft velvet voice, shaking shaking.
EnsTren: He jerked and his eyes, a touch too wide and dilated swept to hers.
EnsTren: He was afraid.
Edmondia: "H-hi," she said, voice trembling.
EnsTren: "M-morning?"
Edmondia: "D-did you have a good nap?"
EnsTren: "W-what happened?" He barely wanted to think of what happened while he was knocked out. Did his soul stay in his body?
Edmondia: "You were upset, so cousin let you sleep. D-do you feel better now?"
EnsTren: "he didn't let me do anything! He made me! He might as well have drugged me or struck my head."
Edmondia: She flinched back from him, almost skittering away.
EnsTren: He hugged his knees to his chest and shivered. He begrudged his sleep. All entraces to his rooms were heavily monitered, and the rooms next to them as well, just to soothe him.
EnsTren: Not for the sake of assassins, but it helped versus them, but to be sure no one would come into his room and...
EnsTren: Well Gozaburo did many a time, dragging him out half a sleep for a lesson, for a test, for an excuse, for anything really.
EnsTren: There were only two people he had fallen asleep with in his own room, two people he was willing to do so with. Mokuba and Seth. Yami wasn't on the list, and neither she nor he knew how to activate everything and....
EnsTren: He was asleep with what amounted to a stranger in his room, who could have left the door 'unlocked.'
Edmondia: Please don't be mad, she was speaking quickly, almost nervously, Please don't be mad and please don't yell, please?
EnsTren: He nodded. He was just afraid. Y-you didn't leave me alone, did you? Please say you didn't leave me alone! Even if you have to lie to me!
Edmondia: I s-stayed, she said shakily, I stayed right here.
EnsTren: He hugged his knees to his chest and firmly told himself he was being irrational. That didn't change anything though.
EnsTren: And he relaxed a little, if his yami was here, he babbled in his mind, surely he didn't have to worry.
EnsTren: She wouldn't have let anyone hurt him, would she?
Edmondia: ...she was still trembling.
EnsTren: Nobody came in, right?
EnsTren: He was trembling too.
Edmondia: She shook her head. No, if anyone had come in she would have ripped them apart barehanded, because that was the way she was.
EnsTren: And he breathed a sigh of relif and crawled over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist and collapsed with his head in her lap, feeling oddly exhausted for just waking up.
Edmondia: She stiffened.
EnsTren: I don't like going to bed with strangers in my room. And he curled up tight against her and shook as he tried to keep his tears inside.
Edmondia: Slowly, slowly, her hands settled into his hair, and this time she wasn't shaking. Not strangers, she said, Never strangers.
EnsTren: Atemu is a stranger, He's not my Yami like you and not my Brother like Mokuba. He's Atemu, not mine.
EnsTren: I don't know him, and he put me to sleep against my will and it's scary that he can do that. Can you do that to me?
Edmondia: I don't know, she said, I could do that for our children but I don't know if I could to you.
EnsTren: Promise me you won't if you could or can? Promise me you won't unless you have to or I ask you to?! Pleae, it's scary. I don't like not...not being conscious unless I have to be.
Edmondia: I won't do that to you, she promised, and he saw ghosts in her eyes.
EnsTren: He clung to her tight.
Edmondia: She mewled softly, an instinctive reaction that confused him.
EnsTren: She was confusing, but so strong, she protected him from the dark things in his head, so she'd protect him from the dark things that made the dark things in his head, right?
Edmondia: Because the dark things were scared of her.
EnsTren: Except for Atemu. She liked Atemu. Would she let Atemu hurt him?
Edmondia: ...for his own good, yes, if that was what she thought.
EnsTren: He didn't like thinking that.
Edmondia: Think about yamihis as herself instead, spice-scented lovely yamihis, softsoftsoftsoftsoftsoftsoft.
EnsTren: Would let him get hurt for his own good. Wasn't that what Gozaburo called it?
Edmondia: Gozaburo - coldcruelevil. Not yamihis, yamihis softbeautifulbright.
EnsTren: But also queen. Darkscarywarm.
Edmondia: ...yamihis who had done terrible terrible terrible things.
EnsTren: He was shaking again, and crying. Yamihis could hurt him but Yami his was the only one who could protect him and...
Edmondia: Soft gold hands on his skin.
EnsTren: He started crying.
Edmondia: She slid away from him, pulled a hanky from somewhere, pressed it into his hands.
EnsTren: He took it from her with a garbled thank you and used it on his face and said that he was scared and she was scary.
Edmondia: She smiled with - relief? and quietly told him the exact same thing.
EnsTren: How could he be scary to her? She was the scary one.
Edmondia: "You're a boy," she said simply, and hunched in on herself.
EnsTren: "I've shown you my fears and you know how to best exploit them, espically if you think it's for my own good."
Edmondia: "You're. A. Boy."
Edmondia: She glared at him then, blue eyes dark and wild and more than a little frightening.
EnsTren: "I don't want to be. Honestly I was perfectly happy being asexual."
Edmondia: "Don't grow up," she hissed, and it was a threat and a warning all at once.
EnsTren: "I don't want to grow up. Gozaburo said I had to, the big five said I had to. I want to keep on making toys and games." Forever.
Edmondia: She smiled then, at him, for him. "Good," she said, and smiled and touched his cheek and lips.
EnsTren: His eyes closed and he bowed his head into her light touch, his eyes burned. "I don't have to grow up?" He asked, a spark of anger that his voice was so wavering and...not himself.
Edmondia: "It's your choice," she said, "You decide."
EnsTren: "I don't want to grow up. I haven't seen many adults worth being."
Edmondia: "Then don't," she said simply, and smiled at him and pulled him to her and kissed him.
EnsTren: He held onto her, tighttight and neverwanted to let go.
Edmondia: Her hands were soft when they stroked along his shoulders and through his hair.
EnsTren: He called her his neverneverland.
Edmondia: She blinked at him, puzzled, then shrugged and kissed him again, and he blushed when his fingers accidentally grazed her thigh.
Edmondia: He wondered if the Lost Boys had ever had thoughts like that.
EnsTren: ...Maybe growing up a little was okay. But just a little mind you.
Edmondia: Just enough that she could move like that and it would be okay. Because even though she was a little grown up - she'd had babies and that thougght still terrified him - even though she'd been a queen, she was still beautiful and young.
EnsTren: And she played games, nice games, so she was still like him.
Edmondia: He was safe with her.
EnsTren: And she was letting him take his time growing up to where they wanted him to be.
Edmondia: Yamihis was perfect.
EnsTren: But still scary.
Edmondia: Very scary. But that was okay.
EnsTren: She protected him.
Edmondia: And she made the bad things go away, so it was okay that she was a little bit evil.
EnsTren: So was he, after all.
Edmondia: And she was beautiful.
EnsTren: She made him smile.
Edmondia: And made him do other things, especially when she moved her leg like that.
EnsTren: It made him blush and he didn't know if he liked it or liked it and was scared of liking it.
Edmondia: ...ooooooh, he definitely liked having his yami's tongue in his mouth, yesyesyes.
EnsTren: Funny to think it used to be scary and not likeable before.
Edmondia: How weird. How could he not have liked this?
EnsTren: It felt like Yami was sucking his soul out.
Edmondia: Yami was greedy, she'd told him that many times.
EnsTren: He hoped that someday he could give her everything she wanted.
Edmondia: ...he didn't really know what she wanted, but that was okay, so long as she kept kissing him like that.
EnsTren: Well he knew she wanted babies.
Edmondia: But did she want her babies that she'd had before or new ones?
EnsTren: He didn't know what to do about her old babies.
Edmondia: She nipped on his tongue then, and he tried to think.
EnsTren: It wasn't working, so he gave up.
Edmondia: It was much more fun to concentrate on kissing her.
EnsTren: It made him feel pleasently muddle headed.
Edmondia: And she was soft and warm and tasted so yummy, all spicy and not at all what girls were really supposed to taste like.
EnsTren: Because she was yummy yami.
Edmondia: Not like other girls because she was perfect.
EnsTren: He told her so.
Edmondia: She smiled at him, and her smile showed fangs, and no other girl he knew could smile like that. He knew boys who could smile like that, though.
EnsTren: He blurted out that she smiled like a boy and blushed, but it was a compliment in a weird way, it made him more comfortable because she wasn't near as strange or foreign.
Edmondia: She laughed like a woman.
Edmondia: Low and velvet and sexy, and it made him shiver.
EnsTren: He was glad she laughed and wasn't angry.
Edmondia: She pulled him down and kissed him again.
EnsTren: He purred.
Edmondia: She put her leg somewhere very nice and rubbed it against him slowly.
