17) Sweet Confessions

Summary: Yugi checks on Yami; Yami admits something big on the phone to Seto. YY/Y warm numminess in here! And gushy phone stuff between S and YY.


Yugi set the phone receiver down, then laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. After a couple of deep breaths, he was in his soul room. Crossing to the other door, he knocked gingerly. "Yami?"

When there was no answer, he opened it slowly. Blinking, his eyes adjusted to the darker room. Then he gasped at what he saw. "Dark Magician!" he exclaimed, and ran over to the corner of the vast antechamber where his favorite monster sat on the floor with the limp form of the Pharoah in his arms. "What's happened? What's wrong with Yami?"

The monster glanced up solemnly and gestured for Yugi to sit on the floor beside them. When Yugi had done so, the wizard transferred the lax figure into the boy's arms. Then Dark Magician stood up, backed away, crossing his arms over his chest in defensive posture.

Yugi was about to ask him more when he realized Yami was coming to. "Yami? Yami!" he breathed, touching the spirit's face. [Kami, he's so beautiful... oh, let him be all right... I love him so much...] He sat, watching him, for long minutes while the spirit's breathing changed and his eyes began to open.

Yami blinked several times, then as he became more alert, his eyes widened to see that he was lying in his sweet hikari's arms... and that the solemn figure of Dark Magician was standing protectively over them both a short distance away. "Yugi..." he breathed at last.

"Yami, why were you unconscious?" Yugi asked anxiously, still stroking his cheek soothingly.

The spirit smiled, relaxing. "I'm not sure why I fainted, but I'm very happy to have woken up where I am."

Yugi blushed, then smiled back as long fingers covered his. "I'm just happy you're all right. I was on the phone with Seto-kun, and surprised when you weren't listening in and I couldn't contact you."

"Seto-kun, eh?" Yami noted with interest. "It must have been some phone conversation!" He took his light half's fingers from his face and sat up, kissing the fingers tenderly.

The sweet gesture made Yugi feel very warm. "Ah, yeah, it was! I guess... I guess we were talking about you."

Yami shifted them both so that Yugi sat before him, facing him, their arms and legs wrapped around each other. Yugi blushed and tried to duck his head, but Yami caught his eye with a deep smile. "You were talking about me? I'm intrigued. Tell me what you were saying about me, aibou!"

Yugi gulped, then took a deep breath. "I was... worried. Because you wouldn't talk to me earlier."

"I wouldn't..." Yami stared at him, bewildered... then memory flooded back. He blanched. "Oh... I... I remember." Quickly he glanced up at the silent Dark Magician. "You brought me here?"

Dark Magician nodded gravely.

"What do you remember?" Yugi asked, frowning.

"I... had a vision, aibou," Yami tried to explain, looking at him again. "I fainted. Now I remember it all... and I have to talk to you about it, but..." He took a deep breath. "Not tonight. And somehow I have to talk to both you and Seto about it."

"A vision?" Yugi searched the other's shadowed eyes. "But how can you talk to both me and Seto-kun at the same time?"

Another glance at the silent defender. Dark Magician nodded meaningfully, then withdrew, disappearing. "I think I can through the Puzzle, Yugi. I tried to send to Seto once, but he only felt it slightly. I think if I try again, I can succeed this time. With your help."

"Of course I'll help," Yugi murmured, then gasped softly as the other's intense violet gaze turned full upon him. "N...nani?"

Yami smiled. "I love holding you like this, my hikari," he whispered, his voice dropping lower.

[Oh, shit, his voice... and I think I have an idea why Seto-kun is so attracted to my Yami... he's just so... potent...] Yugi gulped. "This is very nice..."

"Too intimate?" Yami asked, an eyebrow lifting, the corner of his mouth curved with minute amusement.

"Er, not bad," Yugi lied, feeling that he must be turning fifty shades of red by now, his heart pounding. But he wanted to be here, feeling his dark side's body pressed against his. [Kami-sama, I do want to feel him... if my heart doesn't explode first...]

"Your heart is beating fast," Yami observed, rubbing his nose against his light's cheek. "Do I make you nervous?"

"N...no... yes... but not in a bad way," Yugi murmured, sighing. "It does feel good to hold you..."

"You will tell me if I do something you don't want me to do, won't you?" the seductive tones dropped into his ear. Then he felt lips gently suckling on his earlobe!

His eyes dropping closed, Yugi let his head fall to the side a little. "Ohhh... yes... I'll tell you..."

Then his eyes popped open as he realized his body was reacting... in a certain way...

//It's okay, aibou,// Yami breathed gently into his mind. //You can allow yourself to feel... that.//

/I... it's embarrassing.../

//And natural...// Yami began to lay feather-light kisses along the side of Yugi's jaw and down to his neck.

"Uhhhhh..." Yugi sighed aloud.

The somewhat erotic sound startled the Egyptian spirit, who stopped suddenly, then straightened.

Yugi looked up, wondering, surprised to see a somewhat shocked expression on his other half's face. "Y...Yami?"

[When... when did I decide to seduce him?] Yami asked himself, staring into the widened eyes of his precious partner. [I've gotten him aroused... Ra, I didn't intend...] "Yugi," he breathed. "I'm sorry... you said you weren't ready for... "

Remembering the conversation with Kaiba, Yugi felt suddenly bold. Or maybe it was because of his first raging hard on. "You think too much!" he declared, then pulled his Yami down into a kiss. Immediately arms tightened about him, and Yugi wondered what he was getting himself into when his mouth was thoroughly plundered... at least for two seconds until he settled down and decided to just enjoy it.

A lot.

Then he remembered. Pulling out of the kiss hastily, he gasped, "Yami, I forgot! Seto-kun is still on the line! Waiting to hear if you're okay..."

Yami just smiled, very pleased that his delightful little partner had surprised him yet again. "Shall I reassure him? You can listen in if you want."

"Er... no, go ahead. Really."

"I'm keeping you right here, though. I want to kiss you some more later," Yami murmured, nuzzling his hair.

"O...okay..." Pleased, Yugi sighed and relaxed against the spirit's body as he sensed Yami's consciousness returning to the physical body lying on the bed.

Yami sat up, stretched a little, then picked up the phone. "Seto, are you there?"

Seto, who'd put the phone on speaker so he didn't have to hold the receiver all that time, straightened and sat up from where he'd laid back down. "Yami!" he breathed, stunned to abruptly hear his lover's voice. "Yugi was worried about you."

"Yes, sorry about that," Yami replied, taking a deep breath. "Seto, I had some sort of... vision, I guess you could call it. And I had fallen into unconsciousness afterward."

"A vision!" Seto glared at the phone in disbelief. [More mystical stuff... I don't like that...] "Are you all right now?"

"Yes, and I'll explain... but not tonight, Seto," Yami said quickly, then he thought of something, remembering that his lover and his surprising little partner had just been on the phone together, discussing him, apparently. "Seto, I need to ask you something. What... if anything... do you feel for Yugi?"

[So, Yugi was right...] "Is he listening?"

"No."

"I think I know where this is going, but..." Seto took a deep breath. "I think he's very sweet... and, er, cute. I... like him, I think. Er, a little."

[Yes!] Yami thought, relieved immensely. This was hopefully going to be easier than he'd feared, knowing Seto Kaiba.

Then Seto added quickly, "I asked him if he could like me."

"You did?" [Oh, that must have been a REALLY interesting conversation!]

"He said he didn't know." Seto closed his eyes, bowing his head. "I think that's an honest answer. I told him I thought we both had a lot to think about."

"At least he didn't think you were crazy or something," Yami offered.

Seto didn't reply to that. "Yami, I have to be honest, too. I don't feel for him anything like what I feel for you. Not that I won't someday... maybe. But..." He stopped, thinking that there was so much more he wanted to say, but not over the phone. "Um, that was it."

Yami could guess. [I haven't even told him in person, not really, that I am in love with him... not just falling in love. And I love Yugi, but...] He frowned.

"Can I ask something, Yami?" Seto asked suddenly.

"Of course."

"What... do *you* feel for Yugi?" [Does he make your heart race? Do you fantasize about him? Do you dream about making love to him? Tell me, koibito... if you can...] Seto frowned, fearing the response a little. [Tell me...]

"I... love him..."

Seto winced. [I'm not surprised, not really, but...] "Is that what you feel for me? Is it the same?"

"Of course not! He's my..." Yami took a deep breath, feeling panic all of a sudden. "He's my other half. I'm sharing his body!"

[I can't believe he really said that,] Seto thought, his heart racing. He leaned over, his head in his hands. [He doesn't love me after all... then what the hell has been going on? Or has something changed? What was in that vision? Is it that damn future stuff again? Am I cast in the role of nemesis again? Fuck, I can't believe any of this...]

When his lover didn't respond, Yami frowned, wondering what was wrong. [What did I say? What does he think I said? Oh...] He knew. "Seto! I wanted to tell you in person, not like this..."

"It's all right," Seto broke in bitterly. "It's just as well. I don't think I could look in your eyes..."

"No, you don't understand!" Yami interrupted, fearing the worst. [Shit, he really thought...] "Seto, I'm in love with *you*! Deeply... forever... "

"Don't say things like that unless you really mean it!" Seto nearly growled. "That... that's a long time..." [And I don't believe in it, anyway...]

Shocked, Yami was silent for a moment, then it was as if he was in the middle of a duel and his instincts kicked in. "Listen to your own heart, Seto Kaiba! It has been resonating with mine for some time now, and we've only recently begun to listen to our hearts at all! Every time we've been together, every time we've talked together, every duel... we've *resonated*... and whether it's been talking or having sex or dueling, we've experienced a deep and powerful connection between us! I know I feel it... I'm feeling it now..."

He clenched a hand into a fist, pausing to sense what he was talking about. "Don't you dare tell me you don't know what I'm talking about, Kaiba, because I know you do..." and it was Yugi-Oh, King of Games, speaking to his greatest competitor... just as it was Yami the Pharoah, a man deeply in love. "I meant what I said - I love Yugi very much as the other half of my soul. He will always be such, Seto, and I have told you so before. And I also meant it when I said that I am deeply in love with you... the other half of my heart! That's the way it is, and that's who I am. Accept it... or not."

Stunned, Seto could only stare at the phone for several seconds. A good part of him wanted to sink to his knees and weep... and another good part of him felt like it was on fire. Only Yami could do this to him... and at this moment Seto Kaiba knew he was beyond help... and ecstatically so. He imagined his potent lover, his adversary, his greatest challenge, standing and pointing accusingly at him, his eyes burning, the very air crackling with tension between them.

It was magnificent. He, no, THEY were magnificent.

Seto found himself abruptly on his feet, clenching his hands into fists. "All right," he ground out. "I accept."

Yami sank back onto the bed in relief. "Seto, don't scare me like that again."

Seto blinked. How could the mood shift so swiftly? "Don't scare ME like that!"

Yami chuckled. "I know everything is going to work out. And we're talking over the phone, so things are bound to get confusing once in a while. I really did want to confess my undying love for you in person."

"Your confidence amazes me," Seto admitted, almost weak with relief himself. "Kami-sama, but I love you, Yami. So much that I think my heart is going to explode sometimes."

"I have so much to talk to you about, Seto," Yami murmured, savoring his lover's words. "I need to make sure you do understand about Yugi..."

Seto sighed. "I know..."

"No, you don't exactly. I haven't told you... Yugi and I have been... affectionate. Well, he started it..."

Two minutes ago, Seto would have been dismayed to hear such a thing, but curiously he wasn't a bit. "He started what?" he asked, amused.

Yami laughed. "He wanted to know what it felt like to kiss a guy."

"No!" Seto laughed as well. "So much for sweet innocence..."

"And I'm afraid he enjoyed it enough that... well, we've kissed a few times after that. And cuddled, nothing more... he has said he really doesn't want to go beyond that. For now."

[Cuddly... I can see a cuddly Yugi... hmmm,] Seto thought, relaxing. "I'm glad you told me. And as long as we're telling things, can I also assume he doesn't know what we did on our date? At my house, I mean?"

"Er... no, he doesn't."

Seto smirked. "You're still going to protect his innocence..."

Yami relaxed a little. "For now."

"That's fair. I'll remember not to tease him too much." Seto found he could smile. "Okay, if that's all you have to confess, I think I finally understand about Yugi."

"I have to have both of you in my life," Yami said firmly.

Seto nodded, relaxing. "I know. Are you going to tell me about this vision thing?"

Yami sighed. "I know you don't believe in things like that, but it's very important. I need to tell you and Yugi together... in person."

"How are you going to do THAT?"

Yami stood, a hand on his Millennium Puzzle. "I have to work that out still."

They said goodnight then, exchanging endearments a last time before hanging up their phones. Seto, feeling strangely renewed, cleaned the stuff off his bed and got dressed. Then he left his suite to go to his office where he'd finish his homework before stopping in to see his brother before Mokuba went to bed.

Yami laid back down on the bed in order to return to where Yugi was waiting for him in his soul room.

//Aibou,// he murmured to the boy in his arms, kissing his cheek lightly. //I'm back.//

Sleepily, Yugi yawned. "I think I fell asleep. Is everything okay?"

"Oh, yes," Yami whispered, cupping his light's cheek with his hand. "I told Seto I was deeply in love with him."

Yugi smiled. "Mmmm, about time... I hope he said the same to you."

[Eventually.] "Yes. That doesn't bother you, aibou?"

Yugi blinked, looking up into his dark half's concerned gaze. "Yami... I know you love me... and I know it's not like what you feel for Seto-kun... er..." He shook his head, a little confused. "I mean, here you're holding me in your arms and you were kissing me, but I know..." He stopped suddenly, remembering something... and his eyes went wide.

"Yugi?" Yami frowned a little, wondering.

[They way they kissed in the car,] Yugi was recalling. [So much fire and passion... it blew me away! Got me hot, too...] He gulped. "You and Seto-kun... you're... lovers... You've..." [They've had sex... I think... Yami didn't say and my body didn't feel any different, but they did SOMETHING...]

[Maybe Seto told him? No, he's just realizing it now... oh, the car...] Yami caressed his light's cheek tenderly. "Yugi... yes, Seto and I are lovers."

"Oh..." [I don't need to know more... no, I don't want to know more,] Yugi thought, tensing. [It's too... private.]

"And someday, Yugi," Yami continued gently, "you and I will be, too. Hopefully you and Seto as well. I told him tonight that you were the other half of my soul... and you are. But he is the other half of my heart. I want to be with you both... someday."

[Someday, someday... yeah,] Yugi thought, sighing internally. "I think... I hope so, too. Yami, I told you I trusted you with my body. I do..." [I do... I do...] he repeated to himself.

"And I will never betray that trust. I promise," Yami murmured fervently. "You have my word, little one." With that, he bent to kiss Yugi, deeply and warmly.

[Soon it won't be an issue,] he thought, slipping his fingers into his light's hair. [Soon...]
