Edmondia: Edmondia: did Seth and Atemu ever make up?
EnsTren: Seth is doing avoidance
Edmondia: in the same bed? o.O
EnsTren: Seto shield
EnsTren: sleep stiff on edge of bed
EnsTren: get up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay early to do morning rights
Edmondia: and he won't be pounced upon?
EnsTren: does Atemu get up that early?
Edmondia: ayup
Edmondia: pharaoh has to do morning prayers
EnsTren: well Seth thought that he might and has gone extra super early to set up extra super rites and prayers and sacrifices
EnsTren: ...I think he caught a bunny
Edmondia: EnsTren: he's evicerating the bunny rabbit
EnsTren: and he's also panning to put it on a spit and cook it
Edmondia: is he doing the whole 'tell the future with the entrails' bit, or did that start later on?
EnsTren: he's doing the entrails bit
EnsTren: he's hoping for them to tell him how hikari wants his rabbit cooked
Edmondia: Edmondia: Atemu may start stalking him
Edmondia: or Seto
Edmondia: who might stalk him, pounce on him, and drag him over to his cousin
EnsTren: Seth is refusing to talk to anyone but the gods and a little to his hikari
Edmondia: his hikari is getting annoyed
EnsTren: Seth is nervous and mildly pset
Edmondia: Seto is poking him and shoving him in Atemu's general direction
EnsTren: Seth is moving away/ignoring
Edmondia: Seto is growling at him
EnsTren: Seth is looking hurt
EnsTren: and afraid
Edmondia: Edmondia: "Sit!"
EnsTren: He obeyed.
Edmondia: Seto sat on his lap. "Now be good and talk to your cousin, okay?"
EnsTren: He shook his head.
Edmondia: "Wrong answer, yamimine. He's not going to hurt you, you just need to talk."
EnsTren: Head shake.
Edmondia: "Yes you do. What do you think he's going to do, stand on his tiptoes and slap you?"
EnsTren: Yamihis was very quiet.
Edmondia: He petted his hair. "He loves you, yamimine, he's not going to hurt you. He'd never do that."
EnsTren: He looked away.
Edmondia: He nuzzled his cheek. "Yamimine, please?"
Edmondia: EnsTren: Head shake, looking sad and alone and worried.
Edmondia: He wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed his nose. "Yamimine, you're acting like me."
EnsTren: A look that plainly said: So?
Edmondia: "It's not healthy, you said as much yourself."
EnsTren: A shrug, he's not doing it all the time now is he? Or to everyone?
Edmondia: "Yamimine, you shouldn't shut him out, it's not good for you."
EnsTren: Hates me.
Edmondia: He doesn't hate you. He'd never hate you, yamimine.
EnsTren: I betrayed...
EnsTren: Blasphemed.
EnsTren: The only reason why he did not strike me down then was because he did not know!
Edmondia: Edmondia: Yami, you're worse than a girl!
Edmondia: He's not going to kill you because you loved him.
EnsTren: I wish I were a girl.
EnsTren: I kissed him, I took advantage of his ignorance!
Edmondia: He kissed you too. And I wouldn't know what to do with a girl.
EnsTren: Kissed me because it's the best way to share shadows.
Edmondia: Yami... he won't be mad that you loved him, that's just silly.
EnsTren: I kissed him!
EnsTren: I was taking advantage!
Edmondia: ...okay, so he might be a little mad, but he's not going to kill you or anything.
Edmondia: And it was only a few kisses, it's not like you molested him or anything.
EnsTren: I might as well have!
Edmondia: Edmondia: But you didn't, yamimine.
EnsTren: Because I was frightened!
Edmondia: Yami, if you'd told him... he might have let you.
EnsTren: NO!
EnsTren: NONONO!
Edmondia: He blinked and pulled back a little. ...no?
EnsTren: NO I I! And Seth started crying.
Edmondia: Yamimine? He reached up and pulled his head down, tucking it into his shoulder. Yamimine, ssh, you can tell me... He kissed his hair, rubbing his back gently. It's all right, yamimine...
Edmondia: Seth just started crying and Seto wants to know why
EnsTren: he thinks he's horrible
Edmondia: the 'no I I' caught his attention
Edmondia: set off alarm bells
EnsTren: Atemu letting him touch him = Seto letting him touch him
EnsTren: which = Seth being just like the bandits who raped him
EnsTren: he still feels guilty about being raped
EnsTren: like he LET it happen
EnsTren: and Seto letting Seth touch him even though he didn't like it
EnsTren: made him feel worse than disgusting
EnsTren: the fact he sorta/could have done it to Atemu
Edmondia: he should probably tell someone that
EnsTren: he's not
Edmondia: he needs to
EnsTren: I know, you know, he doesn't
Edmondia: Seto's trying to make him understand
EnsTren: Seth is way too upset to listen
Edmondia: he's cuddling him
EnsTren: He's crying
Edmondia: He's covering his face with kisses.
Edmondia: And petting his hair and cooing.
Edmondia: And he appears to be rocking him.
EnsTren: He's slowed and is sniffling.
Edmondia: Seto's nuzzling.
Edmondia: Okay, yamimine? Love you, prettymine.
EnsTren: Shouldn't! Don't!
Edmondia: I love you. Atemu loves you. Mokuba loves you. We all love you, prettymine.
EnsTren: I'm a horrible person!
Edmondia: You are not! You're a wonderful person and I love you!
EnsTren: I raped you! I almost raped him! I made you both how they made me!
Edmondia: What? No! Yamimine, how could you think that? That's not true!
EnsTren: It is. Don't touch me hikari, I don't deserve it and I shouldn't sully you.
Edmondia: He pulled back and gave his yami a firm shake. You are so STUPID! Yamimine, I love you and Atemu loves you and you didn't rape either one of us!
EnsTren: I DID!
Edmondia: NO YOU DIDN'T!
EnsTren: I did! And he pushed him away hard and ran.
Edmondia: Yamimine! Seto ran after him. Yamimine please don't think that you never hurt either one of us!
EnsTren: He did, no matter what he said he did. He thought he atoned, but with the revelation... Atemu. Had his presence twisted his dear cousin so much that...? He tasted bile. He was poison.
Edmondia: Yamimine stop right now and sit still!
EnsTren: He wouldn't.
Edmondia: "Seth?"
EnsTren: He was gone.
Edmondia: And, just as quickly, he was tackled.
Edmondia: What do you think you're doing?
EnsTren: Running.
Edmondia: His head was promptly smacked into the floor. Not anymore.
EnsTren: Seth was quiet and shoved his hands under his body.
Edmondia: Don't think of squirming away, pretty cousin. I'll hold you here as long as needs be.
EnsTren: Seth... Seth wanted to puke.
EnsTren: No, he wanted to... Cousin could shatter souls. Hikari could only shatter his own with the power of his twisted light. He could shatter his own soul on the reasoning that Yami and Hikari were equals.
EnsTren: But he didn't have the courage to even try.
Edmondia: If you're going to be sick, we can go to the bathroom, and don't you dare try anything self-destructive. Do you understand me?
EnsTren: Seth wished that he was better with mental shiedling.
EnsTren: Seth wished he hadn't sealed himself.
Edmondia: No. Mine.
Edmondia: Soft hands drifted through his hair. Mine, cousin. I'm not letting you go, and neither is your Seto.
EnsTren: Seth flinched. Don't touchme! Don'tTouchMe! Don'ttouchme! Don'ttouchmedon'ttouchmedon'ttouchme!!
Edmondia: Atemu sprawled out over him, fingers digging into his shoulders. MINE!
EnsTren: Seth turned his head away and closed his eyes tighttighttight.
Edmondia: Mine, Seth. Mineminemine. My cousin, my priest, mine. My pretty cousin.
EnsTren: Filth.
Edmondia: No. My pretty pure priest. All mine.
EnsTren: Your raped rapist filthy priest.
Edmondia: No. My precious beautiful priest. Have you forgotten how sacred you are? Pure.
EnsTren: I AM NOT!
Edmondia: Mine. Are you still haunted by what those vermin did to you? After all the purification, all of my protections?
EnsTren: I did the same thing to my hikari! I could have, would have done the same thing to you!
Edmondia: Seth. You never ever hurt Seto like that. And you wouldn't have done it to me, either.
EnsTren: I did!
Edmondia: No.
EnsTren: I took what I wanted even though he didn't!
Edmondia: He did.
EnsTren: He did not! I was causing him pain!
Edmondia: He loves you, loves having you. You make him happy. Even though you caused him pain, he enjoyed what you did.
EnsTren: PAIN ISN'T NICE! IT ISN'T FUN! IT ISN'T PLEASURABLE; THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED 'PAIN!'
Edmondia: Then why was Seto so happy to have it?
EnsTren: Because it doesn't hurt anymore, not as much at least.
Edmondia: But he didn't mind the pain because it meant he could have you.
EnsTren: No, he wanted me to stay. He was dependant.
EnsTren: I did that too, for them, you know. Because they had water and wouldn't give it to me sometimes unless I put out.
Edmondia: Seth. It's a totally different situation, precious one, because he loves you and you love him.
Edmondia: You are not them.
EnsTren: I am filth beneath the hooves of beasts of burden.
Edmondia: You are my cousin, and my priest, and Seto's lover. Precious and sacred.
EnsTren: Even wise and good men can be fooled to think they have a diamond by a pretty stone.
Edmondia: My diamond. Atemu nuzzled him. Pretty precious one, even if you think so lowly of yourself, I still love you.
EnsTren: No, you do not, my Pharaoh. And if you are deluded into thinking so like Seto, you should not.
Edmondia: Who are you to tell me who I should and should not love? You are mine, and if I choose to love you, I may. Because you are good, and precious to me.
EnsTren: Seth would not gaze upon him.
Edmondia: Seth. Atemu shifted off of him, taking his chin in his hands. Your soul is pure. You know I can see you, and what I see is beautiful.
EnsTren: That proves your blindness. You did not see my desire for you and now you see purity where none exists.
Edmondia: Seth. I may not have seen that, but I have always seen you. I love you, sweet cousin, I always have. He pressed a kiss to his forehead. Am I no longer pure enough to cleanse you?
EnsTren: Seth jerked away from Atemu's lips as if they were a fireband to mark him.
Edmondia: Be still, my priest. If I must cleanse you I will.
EnsTren: Fear, it was a stimulus and an end in and of itself. And it usually led to one of two things, facing enemies and recovering, or fuck everything and running. Seth was suspended between both reactions, fight and flight.
Edmondia: Seth. Mine. His lips grazed his nose. I love you, precious one. Mine always.
EnsTren: There was of course a third reaction. Being so afraid of what would or could happen that one self-destructs.
EnsTren: Kill me, please. Make my sorry mockery of existance end. I'm not supposed to be here!
Edmondia: Seth, no. You're mine, how would Seto live without you?
EnsTren: He has.
EnsTren: He lived better than your Yugi did before me.
Edmondia: He loves you. Being without you would devastate him. He loves you and he will not let you go.
EnsTren: Kill me.
Edmondia: Why would I kill one I love?
EnsTren: You do not love me. You love Yugi Moutu.
Edmondia: I am perfectly capable of loving two people, Seth.
Edmondia: As are we all.
EnsTren: ...No. No you aren't. We all are, but you aren't. You are the darkness, you revolve around Yugi and none other, there isn't a room for a binary star.
EnsTren: If you loved another it would be as the moon, reflecting light from the sun in pale shallow mockery.
Edmondia: Do you think I did not love my father, then? Or my mother?
EnsTren: The world is filled with fire, molten rock.
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: There are other sources of light besides the sun, from within is the blood, from without there are the stars.
EnsTren: But your blood is long gone, and stars are fardistant, sharing kinship with the sun and not with you.
Edmondia: My blood is in you.
EnsTren: It's perfectly possible we are not blood related. And I am impure.
Edmondia: You are mine. And Akunadin was Akunamukanon's younger brother - both of the Great Wife, sweet cousin. You are not impure, you have long been cleansed of their taint - save in your heart, precious one.
EnsTren: The feather of Ma'at does not balance the body to see what afterlife they go to. It balances the heart.
EnsTren: And by your own admission it is impure filth.
Edmondia: You do not forgive yourself, dear one.
EnsTren: Don't call me that.
Edmondia: But you are dear to me.
EnsTren: But I am not your dear one.
Edmondia: And your soul is pure, but you do not believe it of yourself. And am I limited to only having a single dear one? Seto loves you and Mokuba both, am I not allowed the same?
EnsTren: At the bottom of the pyramids there are many stones. Each one brothers to the other, they are common and like the common people.
EnsTren: And at the top of the pyramid, my pharaoh, one cannot balance so many.
Edmondia: Seth, my sweet cousin, the top is supported by those around it. You, pretty priest, are one of these. Or have you forgotten that you too were pharaoh?
EnsTren: Replacement.
EnsTren: Secondhand.
EnsTren: Knock off.
Edmondia: As am I.
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: Replacement.
Edmondia: He stroked his cheek. Why do you think so poorly of yourself, sweet one?
Edmondia: I love you, Seth, I thought you knew that.
EnsTren: Don't.
Edmondia: But I do.
EnsTren: Shouldn't.
Edmondia: But I do, and I'm glad I do.
EnsTren: Why?
Edmondia: Because.
EnsTren: Why glad?
Edmondia: He laid a kiss on his nose. You make me happy.
EnsTren: Don't kiss me.
EnsTren: Go kiss Yugi.
EnsTren: Go kiss Seto.
EnsTren: Seth paused and thought about what he said.
Edmondia: You don't want me to kiss Seto, Seto belongs to you.
EnsTren: He does not belong to me.
Edmondia: He's in love with you.
EnsTren: Shouldn't.
Edmondia: He does, because he takes care of you.
Edmondia: Seth, everyone who's been close to you loves you. Doesn't that tell you something?
EnsTren: They just loved my tight holes.
Edmondia: Seth, not close like that. Close like family, sweetling, close like us.
Edmondia: You've never let Seto take you, sweet one, how can it have to do with that?
EnsTren: Seth started to shake.
Edmondia: Ssh, ssh, ssh... he stroked his hair gently, Ssh, sweet one, don't worry...
EnsTren: Get off me, he said like a child. Geoff me and lemme alone!
Edmondia: Seth, pretty one, no, you need to be with someone now. I never left you as a child and I won't leave you now.
EnsTren: Leave me to suffer in peace!
Edmondia: I can't do that, dear one. I'm sorry, darling. He kissed his eyelids. I love you.
EnsTren: Don't!
EnsTren: He flinched like his hikari did sometimes.
Edmondia: Ssh, sweetling. He kissed his cheeks. I love you, you have nothing to be afraid of.
EnsTren: Leave me alone! Get off me!
Edmondia: Why?
EnsTren: I don't like lying down with someone on top of me! I don't want you to kiss me any more! I want to be alone!
EnsTren: I want my plushie!
EnsTren: Gimme my stuffed Seto.
Edmondia: Atemu sat up, gently tugging him with him, and pressed the plushie into his arms.
EnsTren: Seth glomped the poor thing and scooted away from his cousin as much as he could.
Edmondia: Atemu slid next to him and wrapped slim arms around his waist, leaning his head on his shoulder. Mine.
EnsTren: Stoppit!
Edmondia: You hate me that much?
EnsTren: Hate me.
Edmondia: You would deprive yourself comfort?
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: You are too self-sacrificing, my precious one. I will stay with you, because I love you.
EnsTren: Don't.
Edmondia: I'm sorry. He snuggled. But I love you.
EnsTren: Don't.
Edmondia: I can't stop, dear heart, so I won't.
EnsTren: I am not your dear heart.
Edmondia: Mine. Dear to me. Precious heart.
EnsTren: No.
EnsTren: Yugi.
EnsTren: Not me, not filth.
Edmondia: Seth I can love two people if I choose and I do. You are not filthy, not in the sight of the gods.
EnsTren: Neither of us are gods anymore, no matter our titles.
EnsTren: We are but men, save perhaps you. You always were above.
Edmondia: You are still their chosen servant, as am I. And you think too highly of me.
EnsTren: You are not human, cousin.
Edmondia: Wouldn't mother and father be surprised to hear that?
EnsTren: I mean it Atemu.
Edmondia: Mmm. He nuzzled his shoulder. It disturbs me.
EnsTren: What does?
Edmondia: That idea. That you think that.
EnsTren: Neither is Yugi.
Edmondia: That I can believe.
EnsTren: You aren't human either.
Edmondia: ...I have every human frailty, a very mortal death, what else can that be but humanity?
EnsTren: I don't know, but you are not human.
Edmondia: Do you use that as an excuse to put me on a pedestal?
EnsTren: No.
EnsTren: Go away Hidden one.
Edmondia: I will not leave you, sweet one.
EnsTren: Do you know what happened to Kemet after we died?
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: The cults of the gods changed, Set was thrown down and became as Apophis and was lord of destruction and enemy of Horus and Ra.
Edmondia: ...how disgusting.
EnsTren: You find it so?
Edmondia: That your namesake would be so slandered? Yes.
EnsTren: I am fallen. My god is fallen.
EnsTren: And Ra is not Ra, Ra is Atem Ra.
Edmondia: You are not, you were wronged, as was your god.
Edmondia: And... uh.
EnsTren: Seth stood and fled, his stuffed Seto tucked close to him
Edmondia: Cousin! Sit!
EnsTren: Seth was gone.
Edmondia: Atemu chased after.
EnsTren: Seth fled into his soul room.
Edmondia: Seto tackled him there.
EnsTren: Seth shoved him out and slammed the door.
Edmondia: Yamimine? Yami! Please talk to me, lover, please? Come out, talk to me, can I hold you?
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: Please? Sweet pretty yamimine, I love you, let me snuggle you?
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: Why not?
EnsTren: You brought them here.
EnsTren: And I hurt you.
Edmondia: Seth, I love you! They love you!
EnsTren: No!
Edmondia: YES WE DO!
EnsTren: Seth barricaded his door.
Edmondia: Yami! Don't hide from me!
EnsTren: I'm not hiding if you know exactly where I am.
Edmondia: Yami I love you! Please talk to me? Please?
EnsTren: I want to be alone right now, Seto.
Edmondia: ...but I don't.
EnsTren: Yugi's outside, and so is Atemu.
Edmondia: I want you!
EnsTren: They'll take better care of you than I ever could.
Edmondia: I'm in love with you. I want you.
EnsTren: Don't.
Edmondia: Why are you trying to get rid of me?! I thought we loved each other, I thought you wanted me!
EnsTren: I don't want to hurt you or sully you.
EnsTren: I'm filthy.
EnsTren: I raped you.
EnsTren: I could have would have raped him.
Edmondia: YOU DIDN'T! YOU WOULDN'T! DAMMIT YAMI YOU'RE MINE!
EnsTren: I hurt you. I would have. And I never said I wasn't.
Edmondia: You didn't hurt me! You would not! I love you and I want you and I thought we were happy! Am I not good enough for you? I'll be better if you tell me what I'm doing wrong, I promise!
EnsTren: Seto, you cried, I caused you pain! If I could do it to you I would have done it to him.
EnsTren: I just... I hurt inside now, hikari. My heart hurts and wants to be alone for a while so you don't have to see my tears.
Edmondia: Seth, what part of 'I want your dick in my ass' do you not get? My heart hurts too, yamimine, because you're hiding from me, because you feel terrible and you won't let me make you feel better.
EnsTren: I just need time, sweet hikari. And you didn't want me at first. My touch made you ill. I know, I have nightmares every night of that.
Edmondia: I jumped you our first time! Even though it hurt I still wanted you. Because I want you that much.
EnsTren: We still have to be careful sometimes, though, don't we?
Edmondia: As long as I have you I don't care what we need to do, yamimine. I want you that much.
EnsTren: Please give me time hikari? I'll come out for midday prayers, I'll stay out for a little while. Just let me be alone for now?
Edmondia: ...all right, yamimine. I love you. And he was gone.
EnsTren: And Seth wept.
Edmondia: (Seto's crying)
EnsTren: (so's Seth)
EnsTren: (are Yugis tending to Seto?)
Edmondia: (he's being cuddled with them and Mokuba)
EnsTren: (is he feeling a bit better?)
Edmondia: (a little. still feeling lonely and unloved, though)
EnsTren: (Seth sends a bubble of love)
Edmondia: (that just upset Seto more)
Edmondia: (sort of a, You're allowed to love me but I'm not allowed to love you?!)
EnsTren: (Seth is also more upset)
EnsTren: (ah, well he loves him but he's very... yeah now)
Edmondia: (yeah...)
EnsTren: (his head is not screwed on straight)
Edmondia: (indeed.)
Edmondia: (he needs to think things out or something)
EnsTren: (he also needs Yugis and Seto but his head isn't on right enough for him to know that)
Edmondia: (he needs to be snuggled)
EnsTren: (definetly)
Edmondia: (but he doesn't realize that)
Edmondia: (but eventually he's gonna be forced into the slumber party)
EnsTren: (and sleep on the edge of the bed)
Edmondia: (Seto will be clinging to him)
EnsTren: (and he will be nervous)
Edmondia: (yes, but Seto won't let him go, and will probably try to flip him to the middle of the bed)
EnsTren: (Seth will then scoot half off the bed after the first attempt and wrap himself around the corner)
Edmondia: (Seto will pout at him and try tugging him back)
EnsTren: (and he will cling)
Edmondia: (Seto will wrap himself around him again
EnsTren: (Seth won't budge)
EnsTren: (Seth was breifly considering suicide by kissing Yugi)
Edmondia: (Yugi and Atemu wouldn't allow it. nor would Seto)
EnsTren: (fry by light)
Edmondia: (indeed. stupid plan tho)
