I'm Here

*^*^*^*^*^

Tea laid him down on the couch in the living room. She felt his forehead. He was burning up. Lack of sleep and food can do that to a person,she thought, and it's all my fault. She ran up the stairs and peered into the family room. Mokuba was playing a video game. She really wanted to say hi to him, but getting Seto a cold washcloth was her top priority. She ran into the bathroom in Seto's room, it being the closest, and into the connected bathroom. She opened the closet where all the linens were stored and grabbed a washcloth, which she soaked in cold water. This caught Mokuba's attention, as he sprinted into the room.

"Tea? You're back!" He gave her a huge hug. "We missed you." He was nearly crying, which didn't help Tea, who was already upset, any.

"I know I missed you too." She returned the hug.

"By the way, what are you doing in big brother's bathroom?" The raven haired Kaiba asked. His eyes widened in realization.

"Seto's sick. I need some tylonol. Do you know where it-thanks." the little boy handed her the bottle. She rung out the washcloth and walked down the stairs.

"Will he be ok?" Mokuba asked, clinging to the girl.

"Yeah." Tea said. "He just needs to get some sleep so he can get his immune system working properly. When he wakes up we'll give him some medicine and chicken soup. How's that sound?" She asked, reassuringly.

"That's great." Mokuba said, with a smile. Once Seto feels better, things can go back to the way they were. Maybe they'll even get together. Then I'll have a big sister and a big brother."Tea,"

"Yeah Mokuba," The girl said,turning from Seto to face him.

"I'm really glad you're back." He said, hugging her.

"Me too. I'm really glad to be here. To be...home." She returned the hug and turned to Seto. He was still asleep, but there was a smile on his face.

*^*^*^*^*^

The next morning, Seto still wasn't awake. Mokuba was getting worried, so Tea told him to go to school, and try not to worry, that Seto needed to rest, and that it would be boring to be home all day. After a while, the younger Kaiba agreed to go to school. Tea said that when Seto felt better, the three of them would do something. Mokuba loved the idea, and went to school thinking about what the three of them should do.

Tea took the washcloth off his forehead and waited about five minutes, then checked his temerature. He was still a little warm, but better than the night before. She replaced the washcloth, reviving it with cold water. First, she had to move his bangs out of the way. Tea realized she could get used to doing that, as his chocolate locks were soft, and especially fun to play with.

It was evening when he woke up again. He'd never felt so refreshed in his entire life. He looked at the clock. Six thirty. He'd slept for twenty four hours straight. I guess that's one way to screw school.He thought to himself. He pulled himself up and journeyed his way into the dining room. Mokuba was sitting at the table, doing his homework, and upon hearing footsteps, he looked up.

"Seto!" The little boy yelled, nearly tackling his older brother to the ground."You're all better!"

"Yep," He said. "How are you?"

"Great Seto! I'm doing better than great!I'm doing extremely positively stupendously great!"The little boy was bouncing up and down.

"You had sugar didn't you?"

"Nope."

"What hapened last night?" Kaiba asked. "I remember coming downstairs to get coffee but then everything was hazy and I passed out."

"Yeah! You really scared us." Mokuba said.

"Who's us?" Seto asked, feeling that rush of hope that made him high. He began to feel dizzy and sat down next to his brother.

"Tea and me." Mokuba said, like it was an obvious fact."She stayed up all night taking care of you. I finally sent her off to bed when I got home."

"What?" Kaiba's heart soared. "Tea's home?"

"Yeah. She was the one who caught you in the hallway when you passed out. She said that you thought you were delirious. It really disturbed her. She was so worried." The little Kaiba walked into the kitchen, Seto following. "Want something to eat?"

"No thanks. I'll go check on Tea. I haven't seen her in a while." Mokuba smirked, which surprised his older brother.

"You like her don't you?" Mokuba asked, slyly.

"No, kid, she's a friend of mine." Seto said, looking away, blushing at the sheer thought.

"I never thought I'd hear you say that." Mokuba laughed. "But don't say that I'm oblivious. I know where you sleep."

"Same to you, Mokie, same to you." He ruffled his brother's hair. "I'll be down in a little while."

*^*^*^*^*^

Kaiba walked up the stairs, silently, not to disturb the girl sleeping. He noticed her door was open, and walked in. She was out like a light. He smilied, and walked to her side of the bed. Even in this state, she was beautiful. He could admit that. For some reason, he also thought that the other voice in his head was enjoying this as well. Taking a look at her, he realized that she was cold. No wonder. No blankets or anything were over her. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it, along with the sheet, over her body. That was when he noticed the way the blankets curved over her body. That was very nice to look at. He found himself smiling once again for no apparent reason. A strand of hair fell down over her face. Seto, onve again seemed to find himself fighting the urge to move it out of the way. Oh hell. This is stupid. Why should I be here, in her room thinking about her? 'You like her remember,' You stupid voice, where the hell are you coming from? He didn't even think about it, and eventually moved the hair from her face, enjoying every minute of it. Tea's reaction was a smile. He turned to leave, thinking deeply about something, then turned to her again. Leaning down, he kissed her cheek gently. "Sleep well." he said, before walking out of the room.

Mokuba stood in the garden. In his hand was a camera. He focused in on a window and snapped picture after picture. This is good stuff. E-bay will love this. Also, I can get whatever I want from Seto. This is beautiful.

Tea's eyes opened slightly. She looked around. It was around eight pm, or at least that was what the alarm clock by her head said. She got up, smoothing out her yellow baby tee and black shorts. That was when she noticed something on her desk. It was a bouquet of flowers. A dozen of red roses. In it was a card. She picked it up. it read:

Tea,

I'm glad you're home.

Love,

Seto
