EnsTren: heSeth is being scary
EnsTren: well he's giggling
EnsTren: he's splashed with blood
EnsTren: the Rod's pointy bit is out and the blood is from someone's throat he cut
EnsTren: and he just gutted someone, tossed the entrails around another guy's neck and tossed the first guy over a bar or a hook to strangle the second
EnsTren: he's acting like a bit of Bakura, a bit of Yami Malik, a bit of Atemu, and a bit of sheSeth
Edmondia: ah. which Seto does he belong to?
EnsTren: I am almost certain heSeto
Edmondia: ah. AE or modern times?
EnsTren: he's too insane to tell
Edmondia: who'd he kill?
EnsTren: nameless thugs?
Edmondia: any witnesses?
EnsTren: nameless thugs?
Edmondia: anybody around to calm him down?
EnsTren: Seto isn't conscious
Edmondia: ah. he'd need Atemu, then.
Edmondia: that will at least keep him from killing anybody else
Edmondia: of course it wouldn't be anything like 'stop! killing people is bad!'
Edmondia: it'd be something more like:
Edmondia: "Cousin," a soft purr of a voice, and his lips curled up in a delighted smile. Pharaoh had come to see him! "What are you doing, Seth?"
EnsTren: Funvengancekilling.
Edmondia: Atemu chuckled lowly, and his smile got bigger. Cousin approved! "Pretty," his pharaoh said, eyes gleaming bright as the blood that was splattered so pretty all over his clothes and the floor. "I like it."
EnsTren: HurthikarimineminemineTHEY DIE!
Edmondia: "Hee." Slim gold arms wrapped around his waist, pulled him back against Atemu's slighter form. "Look how he's wiggling!"
EnsTren: Eyes fierce though tears continuously flowed. Twitch! Theytwitchedwhen I cut legsarmsfingersheartoffout!
Edmondia: Atemu purred, warm and small against him, and delicate hands stroked through his hair gently. Filth. Why kill them so messily? Hurt?
EnsTren: Strangled, strangled little panicked giggle, odd even by their standards. Hurthikari! Hurthimcan'twakehim! THEY SUFFER!
Edmondia: Soft lips brushed his cheek. Yes, sufferburntorturedie. Pulled back, deeper in to warmwarmwarm cousin-shadows. Can't wake? Want aibou to make him better?
EnsTren: YES! Yesyesyesyes! Alone! Alone and dark and kill them blood and white bone and make prettythings for hikari so he'll giggle and be bright! His head is hurt and there's something in his blood and I can't wake him!
EnsTren: Seth was torn between panicking and crying and making another attempt to heal the unfamiliar sickness, and going back to killing and torturing the others.
Edmondia: Ssh ssh ssh, quietquiet, calmcalm, panicking won't help pretty Seto, want to try healing? Gentle hands pushed him towards his omote, coaxed him to kneel at his side. Herehere, ssh, find pain and make it better.
EnsTren: Seth gathered his limp hikari up in his arms and rocked back and forth.
EnsTren: Did! Don't know what's in the blood, don't know it so can't heal it!
Edmondia: How did they hurt him? Atemu crouched in front of him, cradled his face in his palms and made him meet his gaze. What did they do, pretty cousin?
EnsTren: Hithishead, jabbed little thin knife tube into his arm, pulled him here. Couldn't get out.
Edmondia: Sshssh, will get aibou, aibou will know and make pretty Seto better, all right? Atemu leaned forward, brushed his lips against his mouth. Ssh, sweet cousin, becalm, becalm.
EnsTren: Seth sobbed and held his hikari tighttight then and hiccuped and giggled like shattered stars.
EnsTren: Hikariprettymine doesn't think he's pretty. I tell and I tell and he blushes but he doesn't believe.
EnsTren: When he gets better I'll tell hikarimine that you said he was pretty and he'll turn red and sputter and deny and run and hide in the bathroom. Won't he? He'll get better right?!
Edmondia: Another kiss, warm, soothing, softdarkdark. Aibou will make pretty Seto better.
EnsTren: PrettySeto. Prettypretty, sleeping beauty. I can't wake him up!
Edmondia: And then Yugi was there, beside Atemu, holding one of Seto's hands, one pale palm sliding down his chest, and starting to glow brightbrightbrighthurtbright.
EnsTren: PrettyYugimakePrettySeto better? Please?
EnsTren: Prettyprettyplease?
Edmondia: Atemu moved then, slipping like water around to gently pull Seth against him. Yesyes, aibou make him better, all better. He stroked his hair gently, wrapping his other arm around his waist. Aibou says he'll take out the poison, but ssh, be quietquiet, he needs to concentrate, sshssh.
EnsTren: Seth sniffled and was quietquiet and despaired. He couldn't heal pretty hikari! What kind of yami was he that he couldn't heal his pretty hikari?
Edmondia: Ssh, sweet cousin, ssh, you just don't know what they hurt him with, that's all. Atemu squeezed him gently, brushed away his tears, kissed his cheek and eyelids and petted him. Pretty cousin's pretty Seto will be all better soon, and Yugi will showtellshare what they hurt him with, so you can make him better if they ever try again.
EnsTren: I should be able to do it!
EnsTren: He won't be happy, he doesn't like me hurting people. I should have tried to help him and find what it was, not go kill them. It will make him sad and frightened!
EnsTren: He'll be frightened of me cousin!
Edmondia: Ssh, ssh, he'll understand, he knows. He loves you, ssh, he forgives. Soft kisses on his cheek, his nose, his lips, warm and calming and silkymeltywarm. Breathe.
EnsTren: He doesn't. he'll be frightened. Never ever ever let me use shadows.
Edmondia: Soft tiny hands, warm and comforting. Lovely cousin. Everyone acts viciously when they're afraid, cousin, even him. Tell him, explain why you reacted the way you did, hold his hands and tell him you love him, he will learn to understand.
EnsTren: I should have helped him instead.
EnsTren: He sniffled. I don't want him to wake up here. He's never seen what I could do, what I dodidam.
Edmondia: Oh, cousin, Atemu sighed, gently drawing his head down so their foreheads rested together, Pretty one... I'll take care of the bodies, don't worry about that.
EnsTren: A sniffle. Blood too?
Edmondia: Blood too, he promised, stroking his cheek gently, I'll make it all go away, pretty cousin.
EnsTren: Okay... Mustn't frighten prettyhikari mine.
Edmondia: We won't, pretty one, we won't. Shadows tingled over his skin, and he knew the blood was gone. Pretty Seto won't be afraid of you, he loves you.
EnsTren: He doesn't like killing things at all. Doesn't like people dying.
Edmondia: Sshssh, I know, I know. Long lashes brushed against his cheek. It's all right, he'll understand, he loves you.
EnsTren: But he's never seentouched my darkness. Kept me from it.
EnsTren: It... felt good to do it when he wasn't looking. Betrayed him!
Edmondia: No. Nevernever. True to self, pretty cousin, not betrayal. His choice not to see.
EnsTren: ...He's afraid.
Edmondia: Then let him know you, show him you won't hurt him.
EnsTren: I can't do that.
Edmondia: Why not?
EnsTren: Because, he's seen darkness before, what of me scares him and it's hurt him.
Edmondia: Then give him your vow, as I gave Yugi mine.
EnsTren: Cousin, sweet cousin. Names have power, that is why yours was hidden. Can Yugi name what in you he fears?
EnsTren: Has he seen it before without the guise of our souls and love to soften it?
Edmondia: ...I would have killed your Seto, cousin, had he not stolen our body from me.
Edmondia: Yes, Yugi knows me.
EnsTren: Besides you, cousin.
EnsTren: He knows your darkness, but also knows you love him. And you are the first darkness with a will and a mind of its own he knew.
Edmondia: And you...?
EnsTren: At best second. Cousin, can you call his adoptive father anything but darkness without Ma'at?
Edmondia: Ah. Soft lips brushed his own, light, comforting. And he sees that in you?
Edmondia: He looks on you and remembers him?
EnsTren: Yesss... He hurt him, he knows what scares him, he knows a darkness that has scared him and he sees it in me!
Edmondia: Ssh... he loves you, sweet cousin, he loves you. You can help him understand you, because he loves you, because he's learning how to trust you.
EnsTren: He shouldn't.
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: It is in me. Look at what I did. We laugh and giggle and play jump rope with the intestines but not him. If I tried to give him a pretty soul for a present he'd be angry and abhorred and make me put it back.
Edmondia: He doesn't understand you, yet. A soft sigh gusted against his lips. Because he's been hiding from you?
EnsTren: He's afraid of me sometimes.
Edmondia: Because he doesn't understand you well enough, pretty cousin. Soft fingers stroked his cheek. He's afraid to accept all of you, I think.
EnsTren: He's right to be afraid.
Edmondia: Brilliant eyes regarded him from a scarce inch away, puzzlement glinting in their depths. Why?
EnsTren: Because he knows what dark is better than your hikari.
EnsTren: He knows better than to trust me.
Edmondia: You are better than I am, he said softly, And much more worthy of anyone's trust.
EnsTren: I'm sullied goods and you know it.
Edmondia: There is nothing sullied about you - have you forgotten how beloved you are?
EnsTren: He shook his head. Filth.
EnsTren: Secondhand goods. My hikari does not 'do' secondhand or knockoffs.
Edmondia: I should slap you for that. Do you still think that lowly of yourself, my sweet one?
EnsTren: I am not your sweet one, I never was, no matter how much I wished or how many kisses I stole, or how many times I begged your father for that ritual.
EnsTren: Don't rub it in my face, cousin. I am no one's sweet one. Except...
Edmondia: He shook his head, slim arms sliding possessively around him. No. Mine and Seto's.
EnsTren: No, just their sweet boy whore.
Edmondia: Never that. Ours because we love you.
EnsTren: Are you sure there's room in your heart with Yugi there?
Edmondia: Yes.
Edmondia: I have always loved you, I will always love you.
EnsTren: Not how I wished, he thought, and sighed wistfully.
Edmondia: ...I never knew, he said softly, Why didn't you tell me?
EnsTren: SET FUCKING HORUS ON THE SUN BARGE ATEMU! I KISSED YOU! MULTIPULE TIMES!
EnsTren: I even GROPED you once or twice!
Edmondia: Atemu blinked. You did?
EnsTren: Seth groaned and hit his forehead on the nearest hard surface.
Edmondia: ...I am sorry, sweet cousin, he murmured, stroking his hands through his hair, I just never realized...
EnsTren: He flinched away.
Edmondia: Seth... Atemu sounded uncharacteristically lost. Please don't shy from me, please?
EnsTren: I did it before, every time I tasted your lips, afraid you would shred my soul for the blasphemy I dared, and you never noticed then.
Edmondia: ...I'm sorry. He sounded so young, were there really only two years between them? I didn't know.
EnsTren: He shook his head, to clear his thoughts and went to be closer to his hikari, stalking and acting a great deal like Seto.
Edmondia: Seth... Atemu pulled him back again, away from the too-bright light. Don't get too close, Yugi might hurt you.
EnsTren: Don't care.
EnsTren: Want to bring my hikari home, now.
EnsTren: I'll get Ryou to heal him.
Edmondia: Yugi's almost do- he stopped, fingers digging into his sides. ...are you mad at me?
EnsTren: No. It was over as soon as you found Yugi. I want my hikari. Now.
Edmondia: ...we'll take him home, aibou's finished.
EnsTren: I will.
Edmondia: ...you don't want us there.
EnsTren: I want my hikari.
Edmondia: I understand that you don't want me, Atemu whispered, and slid away from him, curling himself around Yugi, who was holding Seto's head in his lap, a tired smile curving his lips.
EnsTren: Seth dived in for his hikari, scooping him up in his arms and holding him close. He had a vague sense of deja vu of Kisara.
Edmondia: Seto wiggled a little and murmured something inaudible.
EnsTren: Seth kneeled so he could free up one hand and reached to the receiver/transmitter in the KC emblem on Seto's coat collar.
Edmondia: "He'll wake up soon," Yugi murmured sleepily, "He'll be fine, they just -" a yawn, "Knocked him out for a bit."
EnsTren: Seth nodded curtly and commanded someone to pick them up, and a separate limo for the Yugis.
Edmondia: Yugi gave a sleepy little mewl and curled into Atemu, who bit his lip. "Will you be okay...?"
EnsTren: Seth only stalked out in true Kaiba fashion.
Edmondia: He pretended he couldn't hear it when Atemu started to cry.
EnsTren: Stupid Atemu.
EnsTren: Stupid Seth.
EnsTren: He waited for the limo to pull up and climbed in and nearly crushed his hikari's limp body in his arms.
Edmondia: Seto made a soft noise of discomfort.
EnsTren: He eased up slightly and cried into his chest.
Edmondia: Stupid, stupid, stupid.
EnsTren: Stupid blind Cousin. Blinded by his hikari's light before he was even born!
Edmondia: It wasn't fair!
Edmondia: All those times, all those nights he'd been curled up around him and he hadn't even understood!
EnsTren: If he had, if he touched back he would have been clean for his hikari.
Edmondia: But he'd only ever touched him in sweet ways, scary ways, loving but chaste, and it wasn't fair.
EnsTren: He should have expected it though. He was filthy.
Edmondia: And his cousin - his cousin was innocent.
EnsTren: His hikari was innocent.
EnsTren: He was filthy. Couldn't even kill them on his own.
Edmondia: ...they shouldn't love him.
EnsTren: Hikari wouldn't.
Edmondia: Not when he realized.
EnsTren: So he'd hold him for now.
Edmondia: Cherish his light while he could.
EnsTren: Because he couldn't protect him.
Edmondia: Not from himself.
Edmondia: ...he didn't want to leave him, ever.
EnsTren: He held him and cried.
EnsTren: There was no worse feeling than feeling unloved.
Edmondia: He wanted Seto to wake up and hold him, he wanted to call Atemu and have him hold him, he wanted... he wanted his mother.
EnsTren: Seto wouldn't want to hold him.
EnsTren: Atemu never did, not really. They held each other, he held Atemu. But Atemu never held him.
EnsTren: And mommy was far away in the land of the dead enjoying food and games and being served.
Edmondia: ...'ami?
EnsTren: ...'kari?! 'kariminelovedneed okay?
Edmondia: Soft, questing fingers brushed his cheek. 'Ami? S-sad?
EnsTren: Yes, worried, sorry.
EnsTren: I'm sorry 'kari.
Edmondia: Sleepy blue eyes fluttered open. W-why y'mi sad?
EnsTren: I couldn't protect you.
EnsTren: And... I'm sorry, so sorry, I did something. You hate me now.
Edmondia: W-what? He blinked hard, visibly trying to focus himself. What are you babbling about, I don't hate you.
EnsTren: Will. I used... I did it.
EnsTren: Instead of helping you and trying to find what the poison was.
EnsTren: I did what you don't want me to do. I killed them hikari, I killed them and I used my shadows and I - batsu geemu and you told me, asked me not to and I promised!
EnsTren: But I broke my promise!
Edmondia: Seto stared wordlessly up at him, stiffening, eyes wide, fingers curling painfully into his arms.
EnsTren: I'm sorry! I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry!
EnsTren: He choked and started sobbing.
EnsTren: I'm not going to hide it from you but I am sorry!
EnsTren: They hurt you and so they needed to die, I'm sorry but it's true!
Edmondia: Slowly, mechanically, Seto sat up, leaning forward and resting his head in his hands.
Edmondia: "You... killed them."
EnsTren: "Yessssss...."
Edmondia: "...that's okay."
EnsTren: "WHAT?!"
EnsTren: Yami fell into the floor space.
Edmondia: "If," Seto began slowly, unsteadily, "If someone hurt you or Mokuba - I - I'd kill t-them too."
EnsTren: "No! Nononono! Mustn't. I will."
EnsTren: "You're too pretty and bright to kill or hurt someone!"
EnsTren: "I will!"
Edmondia: "...okay," he whispered numbly. "Yugi - Yugi said you were scared of how I'd react, I don't want you to be scared, I'm not mad, I promise."
EnsTren: Seth kissed his hikari and proceeded to try and suck his tonsils, tongue, liver, and possibly his soul out.
Edmondia: Seto curled hungrily against him, pressing himself into his embrace and curling his hands into his hair.
EnsTren: His heart rejoiced and his finger pressed the button to roll up the divider between the backseat and the front before having his wicked way with his hikari right then and there.
Edmondia: Seto was very quiet, but very responsive, and his eyes held just a twinge of uncertainty.
EnsTren: Seth laid him out on the seats like the treasure he was and kissed him many times all over as he undid one button at a time.
Edmondia: Seto held very still for him, just barely shivering under his touches.
EnsTren: He whispered words of magic, love and assurances in his ears and in his mind.
Edmondia: Still so quiet, so soft.
EnsTren: Then he stammered and asked him if he wanted this.
Edmondia: A tiny smile and nod.
EnsTren: He nervously asked him if he was sure?
Edmondia: The smile turned tremulous, but he nodded.
EnsTren: He promised to keep it in his pants for as long as Seto wanted or needed.
Edmondia: Seto blinked up at him, a little puzzled, then nuzzled him softly, gently tugging at his waistband.
EnsTren: Don't want to force you to do anything.
Edmondia: A one-shouldered shrug, then quick fingers had undone his pants and were stroking lightly against him.
Edmondia: Make you feel better, he said shortly.
EnsTren: No!
EnsTren: Nonononono! For you, for us!
EnsTren: Don't sell yourself to me!
Edmondia: Seto's lips curled in annoyance. You already own me, he snapped, And you're mine, so I can do what I want to you.
EnsTren: Pretty 'kari is right, but that doesn't mean we have to or should use each other.
Edmondia: It's not use when I want to make you feel better, he said softly, That's my choice.
Edmondia: Aren't I allowed to give you comfort in this small way?
EnsTren: You comforted me by forgiving me.
Edmondia: Yugi... explained things to me, he said softly.
Edmondia: It's scary but... I love you, so I'm going to try.
EnsTren: That's enough.
Edmondia: Seto reached up and petted him.
Edmondia: And... don't be mad at Atemu. He really does love you.
EnsTren: He didn't notice.
Edmondia: He didn't know... I don't know why, but he just didn't realize... it's not that he doesn't love you too, you know that, right?
EnsTren: He's a dumbass.
Edmondia: That's my line.
EnsTren: If the shoe fits...
Edmondia: He just doesn't know much about love, I think, Seto murmured slowly. Beyond love of family... Yugi told me...
EnsTren: He woke up with my morning erection poking him in the back.
Edmondia: You told me he never looked at or touched anyone, right?
EnsTren: I kissed him, he never said anything.
Edmondia: Maybe... he was like me?
EnsTren: ...No. And yes.
EnsTren: You both ground me, and I worship you both.
Edmondia: About... about touching. If he didn't know...
EnsTren: Hikari, I kissed him.
EnsTren: Several times, while we were both on his bed or my bed.
Edmondia: Did he even know about what that meant?
EnsTren: There's a certain amount of information you can pick up by osmosis.
Edmondia: I'm just trying to figure things out, yamimine. And... you were always that close, weren't you?
EnsTren: ...Sometimes, most of the time.
Edmondia: So maybe he just thought it was a way to get closer, to give comfort?
EnsTren: ...He's still a dumbass.
Edmondia: That's not nice, he chided, You don't see me calling Mokuba a dumbass when he's being stupid.
EnsTren: Yes, but Mokuba has a clue.
Edmondia: He also has porn. Atemu never did.
EnsTren: ...Hikari, the whores walked around naked usually. And we had graffiti denoting sexual practices.
Edmondia: And you told me he was never interested in that.
EnsTren: So? They were there for him to absorb.
Edmondia: ...are you really that mad that he never - you know?
EnsTren: He didn't even notice! I was practically throwing myself at him!
EnsTren: He didn't notice! he blinked tears away.
EnsTren: I TOLD him that if I were a girl I'd marry him!
Edmondia: Yamimine... Seto stroked his hair gently, He thought you loved him the way he loved you. If you were a girl, he would have married you because he cared about you that much.
EnsTren: I begged his father for the ritual to turn me into a girl!
Edmondia: Because you'd be safe that way.
EnsTren: ...
EnsTren: He's still a dumbass.
Edmondia: Seto rolled his eyes. Keep telling yourself that, yamimine.
EnsTren: I will.
Edmondia: Silly. Make up with him.
EnsTren: He hates me.
Edmondia: What? He loves you!
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: What do you mean, no?!
EnsTren: He hates me.
Edmondia: Why would you think that?
EnsTren: Because.
Edmondia: Because why?
EnsTren: Because of what I said and how I treated him and didn't say goodbye.
Edmondia: Yamimine, you hurt his feelings. That doesn't mean he hates you.
EnsTren: He should.
EnsTren: You should.
Edmondia: Why should we hate you?
EnsTren: Because I'm filthy.
EnsTren: Because I betrayed you.
Edmondia: You are not filthy! Who said that? You just broke a promise, but it's okay, I forgive you, who told you you were bad?
EnsTren: I'm dirty, secondhand goods.
Edmondia: You are not! Who said that? Atemu didn't, did he? No, of course not, who told you that?
EnsTren: They did.
EnsTren: They did and they are right.
EnsTren: And I know I'm secondhand goods, I'm a knockoff.
Edmondia: Who? Who said that? Tell me so I can kill them! They're wrong, you're perfect!
EnsTren: I am not perfect! I couldn't heal you! I went against your wishes!
Edmondia: Okay, so you're not perfect, who cares? I'm not perfect either, neither is Yugi, neither is your cousin! It's okay to go against my wishes, yamimine, I don't control you, it's not your fault you didn't know what was wrong!
EnsTren: I should have stayed and figured it out.
Edmondia: Yami, you were upset and scared, your reaction was perfectly natural.
EnsTren: I should have controlled myself.
Edmondia: Even priests are allowed to panic, yamimine.
EnsTren: ...
Edmondia: Seto kissed his nose.
EnsTren: He blinked and lowered his head.
Edmondia: He kissed his lips.
EnsTren: He turned very lightly pink.
Edmondia: Love you, pretty yami.
Edmondia: Please don't ever think that I hate you.
EnsTren: ...But I'm afraid.
Edmondia: Afraid of what, yamimine?
EnsTren: That you will hate me.
Edmondia: I won't hate you. I love you. I always have, I always will.
EnsTren: Really?
Edmondia: Really really.
EnsTren: Sure?
Edmondia: Of course I'm sure. I love you, idiot, and so does Atemu.
EnsTren: ...Okay.
Edmondia: Just 'okay?'
EnsTren: I love you too.
Edmondia: And?
EnsTren: I am still afraid.
Edmondia: Do you think I'm lying to you, yamimine?
EnsTren: I worry.
EnsTren: You do it too, otherwise you wouldn't have built a jet into a blimp.
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: Battle City. You built a blimp that could change into a jet or whatever because you worried.
Edmondia: So? I never worried about being loved.
EnsTren: You're so important to me.
Edmondia: I love you too.
Edmondia: You're everything, yamimine.
EnsTren: I'm not.
Edmondia: You're so special to me, yamimine, you are.
Edmondia: I love you so much it's scary.
EnsTren: He tried to suck his tongue out again.
Edmondia: Don't ever think I don't love you, yamimine. Don't ever.
EnsTren: Yes, hikari. Love you.
Edmondia: You'd better.
EnsTren: He got his confidence back and went back to touching him.
Edmondia: Seto purred.
EnsTren: Hand down pants and groping.
Edmondia: Silly.
EnsTren: So?
Edmondia: You're happy?
EnsTren: Happier.
Edmondia: What will make you happy?
EnsTren: I worry too much to be happy completely.
Edmondia: You never seemed to worry before...
EnsTren: I did.
Edmondia: Why do you worry? I love you.
EnsTren: We're both paranoid, hikarimine.
Edmondia: Ah.
EnsTren: Can I take your clothes off now?
Edmondia: No.
Edmondia: We're nearly home.
EnsTren: We can tell the driver to take a detour. You won't let me use the desk so how about the limo? Come on! Think of the happy memories!
Edmondia: No.
EnsTren: ...I'll wake you up tomorrow with breakfast in bed and a blowjob.
Edmondia: Nice. But...
EnsTren: Blowjob and prostate massage, and then sex.
Edmondia: Nice. But yamimine...
EnsTren: But what?
Edmondia: I want the Yugis to sleep over.
EnsTren: ...It's your house.
Edmondia: With us.
EnsTren: ...Explain and define.
Edmondia: I want them to sleep with us.
EnsTren: ...Same bed?
Edmondia: Yes.
EnsTren: Seth appeared to be attempting to sink though the floor.
EnsTren: Why couldn't you suggest it a few months ago!?
Edmondia: Because I was scared back then.
EnsTren: He hates me. You and Yugi in the same bed is hot but... There's no place for me there.
Edmondia: He doesn't hate you. There is a place for you there, and it's right between me and Atemu.
EnsTren: No, the place is for you between Atemu and Yugi.
Edmondia: No. They don't let anything come between them, and that's the way it should be. You and I can be wrapped around each other, and so can they, but we'll all be together.
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: Yes.
EnsTren: Seth was crying.
Edmondia: Yamimine, yamimine, Seto crooned softly, I love you, Atemu loves you, let us show you.
EnsTren: Yami was crying.
Edmondia: Oh please don't cry, pretty yami, I love you, I want you to be happy, I want you and him to make up, please don't be sad.
EnsTren: He wrapped his arms around his hikari and cried so hard and held so tight.
Edmondia: Seto held him tight and petted his hair, kissing his nose and cheek. Please? Yamimine? I love you, I hate seeing you like this, I'm sorry, won't it make you happy? I want you to be happy.
EnsTren: You're too good for me.
Edmondia: I'm not, yamimine. I just love you.
EnsTren: He held on and cried.
Edmondia: Seto held him close and tried to kiss away his tears.
EnsTren: It was hard.
Edmondia: He snuggled, and when the limo stopped, he took his hands and guided him to their bedroom.
Edmondia: Then he pushed Seth into the bathroom and told him to take a hot shower.
Edmondia: "Yugis will be here soon, yamimine, get cleaned up, okay?"
EnsTren: Seth did so, very quietly.
Edmondia: Please don't be angry?
EnsTren: Not angry.
Edmondia: But you're upset.
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: ...you need to talk to him, yamimine.
EnsTren: Yamihis clammed up again.
Edmondia: ...please?
EnsTren: Hateme. He didn't kill me before because he did not know what I dared.
EnsTren: Now he does, he knows my blasphemy.
EnsTren: He will hate me.
Edmondia: What? No! If anything, he should be flattered that you cared for him that much.
EnsTren: No, he won't.
Edmondia: Yamimine, he loves you. Period.
EnsTren: Stubborn Yami shook his head.
Edmondia: Yes he does.
Edmondia: Yamimine, would you ever stop loving him?
EnsTren: My fear can overwhelm my love.
Edmondia: Do you love him?
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: So why wouldn't he love you?
EnsTren: Could hate too.
Edmondia: Not you. He's loved you since he first met you, remember? You told me, he was just a baby, but he loved you.
EnsTren: I loved him.
Edmondia: And he loved you. He always has.
EnsTren: ...
Edmondia: Since birth, yamimine. That kind of love doesn't just go away.
EnsTren: ...
Edmondia: Yamimine, I know, the same thing happened with me and Mokuba. Love like that doesn't change, ever. It's too deep.
EnsTren: ...He is pharaoh. He is untouchable.
EnsTren: I touched him.
Edmondia: You are his cousin, and his high priest, and he touched you too.
