Fan Fiction / Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Agonies of Love ❯ Keeping Faith ( Chapter 12 )

Baki turns around and rushes back to the window at hearing Seth's scream of pain. He peeks into the room to see what is going on and gasps. Jumping in through the window, he waits for Arivid to stop.
"No! Please, stop! You're hurting me."

Baki watches with a sickening fascination. I never thought he would do this kind of thing to Seth. I thought he was always gentle with him. Why won't he stop?

He hides behind a column when Arivid stands up and walks out of the room. As soon as the door slams, Baki jumps up and runs over to the boy. "Seth? Priest?" The Tomb Robber sits on the bed and pets his little Priest. "Seth, are you alright?"

Seth doesn't respond, only whimpers and protests softly. "No, no more… Please…"

Baki sighs and picks him up. "Alright, Seth. Let's get you to Yuki. He'll know what to do. You won't have to come back here anymore. I always told you that being with that General was a bad idea for you." He shakes his head at the small moaning noises coming from his catch.

Baki jumps out of the window, and races through the darkened streets of the capitol city. Why is it that this Priest and that mongrel make me so emotional? He shakes his head to clear the thought and slips through many yards before skidding to a stop in a well furnished, yet simple house. Walking through the door he goes up the short flight of stairs to Yuki's room where he knocks on the door. "Yuki! The Priest needs you!"

Yuki saunters out of his room, pulling on a kilt. He casts his glance down to the sleeping man and gasps. "Baki did you do this to him?" Yuki glares sternly at the younger man. "You know that I don't want you to touch him like that. It's not right."

Baki grumbles and shoves his package at Yuki. "You know I would never do this kind of thing to him. I'm rough, but not that rough. I don't leave bruises except on the hips and on the lips. His precious General," he speaks the title with disgust, "did this to him. The General raped his little priest. He said, 'I am the only one allowed to bruise and loosen you" or something like that." He shrugs sadly, his eyes showing the concern he has always felt for the weak Priest. "Anyways, Arivid raped him, so you know, don't go pinning this one on me. It's not my fault this time."

Yuki nods and sighs. "Guess I'm just going to have to talk to Arivid, tell him he can't treat his lover like that. Perhaps now, Seth will see that he should have gone with Pharaoh instead. That Arivid wasn't really the right choice compared to what Atemu can give to him. Maybe he'll understand that now, in light of all that has been happening to him while Arivid is around."

Seth growls and bites viciously into Yuki's arm. "He's not a bad man! He's just really stressed right now, because there's going to be a war. Don't you dare hurt him. I'll never forgive you if you do. Not for the rest of my life."

Yuki shakes his head and take Seth out to the couch in the common room. "I'm not going to hurt him, Little Blue Eyes. I just need you to understand that, Pharaoh was who you should have been with. We didn't expect that you would take to Arivid the way you did. After that rape in the closet all those years ago, you were supposed to fall in love with Atemu. Since you haven't, well, this happened." He starts casting recovery spells and many of he new bruises heal, as well as the bleeding from the man's bottom. "You just have to make your own rules, don't you?" He says as he sits Seth up and pulls him into his lap, cradling him like a baby. "You just can't listen to anyone but the voice inside your head."

Seth nods. "I'm my own best friend. I'm the only person I can trust." He snuggles into Yuki's chest and yawns, letting his eyes close of their own free will. "If I can't trust me, no one else will."

Yuki nods and sets Seth down on the couch, covering him with a thick blanket to keep out the cold Egyptian night. "That's right, Seth. You have to trust yourself, if no one else. Just don't push people out of your life. That's never the way to go." He smiles at the small snore in response to what he has been saying. "Sleep now. Everything will be alright in the end. I'll go talk to Arivid tonight, let not your heart be troubled."
