EnsTren: (Seto's... being very odd)
EnsTren: (just humming simple gifts)
EnsTren: (oh and he went down on Seth because of what Yugi said and didn't want to be raped)
EnsTren: (Seth wants sex so he gave it to him in the most upfront and quickest way, then left to do his work)
Edmondia: (that's not gonna help very much)
EnsTren: (after... they get back together)
EnsTren: (Seto, screaming, because he's used to it not hurting)
EnsTren: (It was so nice for a while, not feeling anything. No pain, no hurt. No pleasure either, but still, no soul rending agony)
EnsTren: (and I think the monster under the bed trashed his soul room)
Edmondia: (well that sucks. he'll have to clean it up.)
EnsTren: (yeah, but he's borderline suicidal for the moment)
Edmondia: (going back in there is gonna be messy)
EnsTren: (Seto's not inclined to)
EnsTren: (he goes into the corridor, looks at the door, and goes back to the body)
EnsTren: (he doesn't like himself much)
EnsTren: (I had a thought)
EnsTren: (Yugi, hell all the pairs occasionally seeing... Seth bully Seto)
EnsTren: (and Seto gives in. And they think it's either a game, something they do for fun)
EnsTren: (or perceive the reality, it doesn't matter to Seto, it costs him nothing so that's why he gives into it)
EnsTren: (and sometimes it's not even subtle bullying.)
EnsTren: (out and out looming over Seto, doing the scary darkness thing)
EnsTren: (Caressing Seto's cheek, buzzing his darkness into him slightly to give Seto a jolt)
EnsTren: (because Seto can tolerate a kiss or a touch on the cheek so he thinks it doesn't hurt much. perhaps it's prolonged or a great deal of contact that does it)
Edmondia: (mmm. there's a very strong sense of ownership there)
EnsTren: (unknowingly, and a bit knowingly, terrorizing his hikari)
Edmondia: (I think he's afraid that if he doesn't make it clear that he owns him, Seto will run away)
Edmondia: (whoa, mental image)
Edmondia: (of Jou seeing the scary looming-ness)
Edmondia: (oh, it's in some dark corner right before school starts, looming-ness, a long kiss, Seto with very little expression on his face once they're through and Seth is gone)
Edmondia: ("Why do you let him get away with that?")
EnsTren: ("It makes him happy.")
Edmondia: ("What about you?")
EnsTren: ("Doesn't matter to me.")
Edmondia: ("It should.")
EnsTren: ("Why? He's happy.")
Edmondia: ("You should be happy too.")
EnsTren: ("I'm happy he's happy.")
Edmondia: ("That might be, but you still shouldn't let him shove you around like that.")
EnsTren: ("I choose to let him do that. It doesn't cost me anything to say yes. And when it does I simply say no.")
Edmondia: ("And what does it cost to say that?")
EnsTren: ("Having to deal with him sulking and pouting.")
Edmondia: ("You make it sound like he's a chore.")
EnsTren: ("He's been taking sulking and pouting lessons from Mokuba, fortunetly he's too big to pull it off well. You try dealing with that and not getting aggravated, espically if you're working.")
Edmondia: ("Is that all he does?")
EnsTren: ("No. He plays with Mokuba, he waits patentially, sometimes.")
Edmondia: ("He had you pinned against the wall, Kaiba.")
EnsTren: ("Your point?")
Edmondia: (He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, mussing it even more. "Just how much does he shove you around anyway?")
EnsTren: ("Does it matter? He's my yami, not my boyfriend.")
Edmondia: ("Isn't it the same thing?")
EnsTren: "No."
Edmondia: "Then what?"
EnsTren: "He's my soul mate."
Edmondia: "That doesn't give him the right to bully you."
EnsTren: "If he wants to bully me, and I'm willing to put up with it, I don't see the problem. We're supposed to dysfunctionally complement each other."
Edmondia: "...just tell me he's never forced you into anything, and I'll let it go."
EnsTren: "He hasn't forced me into anything but kisses."
Edmondia: "And you don't mind?"
EnsTren: "I don't. It can be irritating sometimes, and good other times."
Edmondia: "An' you don't think he will... try anything?"
EnsTren: "Why would he?"
Edmondia: "'Cause he's a scary psycho bastard who's used to getting what he wants."
EnsTren: "So is Yugi's other."
Edmondia: Jounouchi's eyes narrowed. "You tryin' to tell me something?"
EnsTren: "I am making a point."
EnsTren: "You do not like my yami because one, he looks like me, and two he is more visibly open than the others. I remind you that the others have had theirs for a while."
Edmondia: "Y'mean he hasn't been around ya long enough to calm down yet?"
EnsTren: "Basically."
Edmondia: Jounouchi leaned back against the wall, heaving a heavy sigh. "Guess that makes sense... but be careful with him, 'kay?"
EnsTren: "Now you're acting like I'm the potentially abusive boyfriend."
Edmondia: "I dunno what the hell ta think of alla this. Sometimes he shoves you around, sometimes you're yellin' at him, an' none of it makes a damn bit of sense. I'm just worried about what could happen to you an' everybody else if his temper breaks."
EnsTren: "Yet," he was amused, "No one worried about my temper." He found it amusing.
Edmondia: "No offense, Kaiba, but if you wanna blow up the school, you blow up the school. Fishing back souls is a little bit more tricky."
EnsTren: "I know, I've done it. I was rather referring to making people's lives unlivable."
Edmondia: "I always figured you were a bit nicer than that, actually."
EnsTren: "How nice, Bonkotsu."
Edmondia: His returning smile bared teeth. "Don't worry, you're still an asshole."
EnsTren: "Then stay out of my business."
Edmondia: Jounouchi shrugged. "Maybe."
EnsTren: Seto attempted to leave him behind.
Edmondia: "We're in the same class, Kaiba."
EnsTren: "Which I sleep in anyways."
Edmondia: "Must be nice to get away with that."
EnsTren: "I don't exactly have to come to school you know."
Edmondia: "Again, must be nice."
EnsTren: He shrugged and left.
Edmondia: Jounouchi shrugged, and followed him into class.
EnsTren: Seto sat at the back of the class in a corner and got an early start on his nap.
Edmondia: Jounouchi gave him a worried look, then turned his attention back to class.
EnsTren: Seto carefully stopped blocking things out so his yami could hear again.
Edmondia: What were you doing, pretty light?
EnsTren: Having to listen to the dog howl, I blocked it out, you know what his yapping does to me.
Edmondia: He's worried about you.
EnsTren: You're here to protect me, aren't you? Take care of me.
Edmondia: If you'll let me.
EnsTren: Don't I?
Edmondia: Sometimes...
Edmondia: But why do you ask?
EnsTren: Rhetorical question, yami.
Edmondia: And its purpose?
EnsTren: Making a point. It's like asking if the sky is blue.
Edmondia: Is it?
EnsTren: Yes it is Yami. Bluer than our eyes.
Edmondia: Insubstantial hands fell on his shoulders, nonexistant breath whispering against his ear. What did he say to you, pretty light?
EnsTren: He shivered but did not pull away nor lean back. The Dog doesn't speak, he barks.
Edmondia: You disregard him so easily, sweet light?
EnsTren: He's beneath us.
Edmondia: He's pretty.
EnsTren: He snarled and tensed under his hands. If he had any less control he would have struck his yami. But he had control, so he repressed it, repressed the words. Hated.
Edmondia: Seth nuzzled his cheek, unconcerned. I'm jealous.
EnsTren: Seto jerked his head to the side, a twitch. Don't.
Edmondia: Be jealous?
EnsTren: Don't touch me.
Edmondia: He pulled away. Why not?
EnsTren: Guess.
Edmondia: ...you're mad because I said he was pretty?
EnsTren: YES.
Edmondia: Seth sighed. Well, he is pretty, and don't give me that look, I'm stating a fact. And I'm also stating the fact that I'm jealous because he's been watching you and I don't want anyone to look at you but me.
EnsTren: Shut up.
Edmondia: Why? Don't I get a chance to explain myself?
EnsTren: I don't want to listen to you being like that. You're supposed to be the one thing that's only mine.
Edmondia: And I don't want him taking you away from me.
EnsTren: That's not possible.
Edmondia: Anything's possible. He's pretty and he's sweet and he's worried about you and fussing over you and of COURSE I'm fucking jealous!
EnsTren: He's stupid, bokotsu, a dog. And not you.
Edmondia: That doesn't stop me from worrying, pretty light. I'm too greedy.
EnsTren: Idiot.
Edmondia: Yes.
EnsTren: Stop being an idiot.
Edmondia: I can't help it if I'm jealous of everyone who takes a second look at you.
EnsTren: Baka. Give me a back rub now.
Edmondia: As you wish, pretty light. Soft hands slid lightly through his hair, down his neck, and stroked at his shoulders. I think I spoil you.
EnsTren: Bah. You make me cranky too. It's only right you make me better. Oof right there, a bit lower.
Edmondia: He obliged him, hiding his smile against his neck. So sorry to upset you, pretty darling.
EnsTren: Seto purred slightly. Prove it.
Edmondia: Seth muffled a laugh in the collar of his shirt. Hikari, you're in school! And while I'd not be averse to such a display, I think you might get into a bit of trouble with the teacher.
EnsTren: Pervert. I meant keep on massaging me.
Edmondia: With or without clothes?
EnsTren: Pervert. With clothes on.
Edmondia: Aww, you ruin my fun! But he kept rubbing his back just the same, digging his fingers into the knots and slowly working them out again.
EnsTren: Seto slowly melted under his fingers and was very pleasantly warm and happy.
Edmondia: Soft breath tickled his ear. Are you falling asleep on me, pretty light?
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: Glad to hear it, sweet light. And he brushed a soft kiss against his cheek.
EnsTren: He shivered and smiled slightly. Surely he was a masochist.
Edmondia: I like it when you smile.
EnsTren: Th' sweet.
Edmondia: Sleepy?
EnsTren: Hai.
Edmondia: Then sleep. These fools will not bother you.
EnsTren: He pillowed his head on his arms and snuggled down.
Edmondia: Seth squeezed him. Sleep well, pretty light. I love you.
EnsTren: So his hikari slept, happy and relaxed.
Edmondia: Seth watched him from his perch on the desk behind him, not minding the girl who was scribbling down notes somewhere in his nether regions.
