Free me…from myself

 

Prologue

Sitting by the window Seto stared out the window, he'd been saved and now he was home, locked safe in his room.

He didn't speak.

He barely ate.

Or slept.

He couldn't, his dreams, his nightmare were more than he could stand so he stoped trying for rest. He never left his room. Not even to go to his office, he hated Kaiba Corp. always had. It was the ugly truth of his youth but…but it payed the bills and made his life bearable…gave him an outlet. There was a soft knock on his door an hour later before it opened, no one expected him to answer anymore.

“Seto,” Mokuba said and his brother ignored him, his eyes dull, and his face thin. Dark circles dug grooves under his eyes, his shoulder slumped, ugly green bruises covering his face as he sat there in a pair of pyjamas a size or three too big.

“Brother,” he said kneeling before the man he adored, his brother, his mother, his father, his best friend. “Big brother please, talk to me…tell me what will help you,” he pleaded, and watched as his brother lifted a thin, hand to the window, tapping out a rhythm.

“Brother…please,” he whispered taking another of his brothers hands into his, at 17 he was at a loss…he had never been with out his big brother, Seto always at his side, always to the rescue.

A sigh fell from his brother lips, capped, and cracked, the sound followed by a name “Y…yu…yugi.”
