RECAP

= Seto stared out the window of his large room and sighed, he missed Mokuba but had asked Seth to take care of him for the next months or so, so that he could try and `fix' himself. Better himself =

A week after his date with Yugi and Seth sat in the Kaiba Manor, eating a four-corse meal with his brother and Seto looked up and over at his older brother. He'd been coming over often for diner, just spending time with him and he waited until Seth swallowed what was in his mouth before speaking up.

“Seth I…” he started as those blue eyes turned to him, his tongue darting out over his lips, “I have an appointment with a therapist on Thursday,” Seto announced and he watched as Seth dropped his fork, staring at him mouth agape.

“W-what?” he managed and Seto smiled though his eyes held pain, “I'm going to talk to a therapist on Thursday, not about everything…just the majority of it. I'm going to try,” he said and his brother beamed at him.

“That's great Seto! I…what brought you to this decision though?” Seth asked and Seto grabbed his glass, sipping the sparkling water as he frowned.

“I…I want to be…better, I want to change what I've turned into and see if I can be who I want to be, I…I want you and Mokuba home, I want you both to feel safe near me. It'll take time and patience, I'm…I have already left Domino High and will be doing privet tutoring, I'll continue to work at Kaiba corp but in my free time I'll be…fixing me,” Seto said looking at his brother.

That's great Seto…do you know how long it'll take? Do you have an estimate of when you'd like to be…see Mokuba again coz you know I'll still come over, you can't kick me out and you know it,” Seth said.

“Three months I want to be over most of it, I know a lot of it will take time, more than three months but…I'm…optomistic that I'll be able to be who I want to be for the most part in three months,” Seto said and Seth smiled.

“I'll do what I can to help you,”

Seto frowned, pressing his lips together as he debated weather or not to tell his twin, ask for his help, “Would you…okay, promise me you won't tell anyone, not even Yugi or his…ghost,” he said looking at his brother. His eyes pleading.

Frowning Seth searched his brothers eyes, looking as to what his brother might want of him before nodding his voice coming out full of conviction, “I promise little brother, what would you have of me?”

“I…Seth I really like mu-Joey,” Seto said and Seth blinked frowning, seeing his twin didn't understand his meaning he sighed and forced himself to say it, “I…I think I'm in love with him.”

…

Time ran forward and Mokuba stared out the window of his room at the Mouto place, Seth having moved in with his boyfriend and sighed, he really missed his big brother. Seth was great and all, and Yugi and Joey and their friends where nice and had welcomed him easily enough but…but they weren't Seto.

Seto who had protected him from bullies at the orphanage, from those wanting to adopt him and take him away, from Gozaburo, he'd sacrficed so much, much more than he had let on Mokuba was sure.

Also, Seth and Seto's 19th birthday was coming up and…and he wanted to see and celebrate his brothers' birthday with him. Would he even celebrate it at all?

`I love you big brother…I wanna come home,' he thought and sighed, knowing he couldn't, having been told by Seth that Seto had given them an account to access with enough money to live on more tha comfortable for two years. Excessive, everyone agreed but Seth had said that when Seto was ready he was going to call them both home.

But…but Seto might never be ready and Mokuba was terrified to say the least.

“Mokuba! You're friends on the phone!” Yugi called and he sighed, turning away from the view of his brothers building he trotted out of his room and down to the kitchen taking the phone as Seth walked in.

“Yes, no…thanks mom…aha, okay, yeah one of those…by my birthday please…I know it will be strange…No, Yugi and Mr Mouta have organised something…Yeah, I have talked him into coming,” Seth said. He looked over and winked at his boyfriend as he walked over to where Yugi stood and laughed as he handed him a mug of coffee.

“No, Seto's a cat person, yeah I thought of that but I wanted to give him something from home,” he said pecking the smaller male on the forehead. The action causing Yugi to blush and look away even as he smiled and Mokuba hung up, frowning as he listened to his elder brother speak.

“Yeah, alright, talk to you later…love you too, bye mum,” he said hanging up with a smile and a shake of his head as he flashed Mokuba a smirk, “Gods she can talk.” And Mokuba blinked at him, his long dark lashes hiding his expression as Yugi asked, “You're getting Seto a cat for his birthday?” his voice full of scepticism.

“Yup, I though of getting him a dog, but he already has guard dogs, ones he has no interaction with. Also dogs are often high maintenance and he doesn't have a lot of time on his hands all that often so I'll get him a pet that doesn't mind being on its own most of the time and one he doesn't have to train that much,” Seth said.

“What kind did you get him?” Mokuba asked bitting his lip and Seth looked back at him with a smile, saying “Egyptian Mau. They were in ancient times they were mummified and were nearly worshiped by the people. I was raised there since fathers death and I want Seto to have a little piece of my life, my culture for the most part with him. So he never forgets that he isn't alone and he has us to help him.”

“Also, Seto loves the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Mau's come in a blackish grey spotted silver coat as well as a bronze and smoke, black and pewter, Mum has a friend who breeds Mau's and is going to send down a silver one for me,” Seth said and Mokuba smiled, though his eyes were sad.

“I wish I'd thought of getting him a pet. A cat that is…I just…I figured if he wanted one he'd get one on his own,” Mokuba murmured and Seth looked down at him with a sympathising expression.

“Mokuba,” he said putting his mug down before moving over and kneeling before his baby brother, his hands resting of Mokubas' shoulders, “Mokuba, you can't be expected to think of everything that Seto may and may not like. I won't be surprised if the cat is rejected and given to some worker who likes cats. I just want to give him something that he can show open affection too the way he has a hard time with humans.”

“I get it. I do, I just…I really miss him, he's up in that huge mansion all on his own! He works and Joey told me he hasn't been going to school at all! He's cutting himself off and…and what if he doesn't ever want me back?” Mokuba asked before he was crushed into a hug. Clinging to his brother Mokuba shook from head to toe as his tears fell, he didn't want Seth to hug him, he wanted Seto too. He wanted to feel Setos' often scarcely cold skin, be held against Setos' rock hard chest and feel his nearly hollow stomach against the little bulge of his own.

“Seto's trying to work out his issues so that you feel safe with him again. He misses you dearly, he pulled out of school to get the help he needs,” Seth whispered as Yugi's hand fell on his shoulder, those slender fingers pulsing in an effort to convey comfort.

…

Looking around his new home Seto pressed his lips together, he'd recently bought the large, odd shaped building he had fallen for, the six bedroom home much smaller than the Kaiba Manor but strangely more comfortable. Oh he still owned the Kaiba Manor, he had plans for the building, big plans but he had wanted to find a new home, a new place for himself and Mokuba and hopeful Seth to living.

Maybe Yugi as his twin seemed to venerate his decisions often based on what his boyfriend liked. And maybe…maybe he could get Joey to… “It'll never happen Seto. Stoping thinking about it, it's a dream you will never have,” he told himself. But he couldn't help it, he wanted the blond, he adored the blond and wanted him at his side for eternity.

Shaking his head he went to the first bedroom off to the left, which had been set up as a study, the building large with five bathrooms, one in each of the four main bedrooms and three lounges. A large kitchen and heaps of land, with a pool out the back.

Mokuba loved to swim and it would be easy for him to set up a small gym area outside. One of the lounge area's had been turned into a gaming room, another a library, though the last was set up as a lounge. The second spare room was now a guest bedroom.

His and Mokubas' rooms already set up and waiting for them, though Mokuba wouldn't know until his and Seths' birthday. He'd told Seth he wanted to hold it though he was still unsure of the location and would tell them a few days before hand, also providing the transport all the guests needed.

A six car garage on the right of the main building, already housing his deep blue Jeep Wrangler, his prized Cadillac XLR 2009 and his Mercedes S600 Guard which was his emergency vehicle. Most of his others like his red Ferrari F430 and his ice blue Porsche 911 Turbo where still at the old mansion but once the contactor finished building the state of the art garage for his toys he would be moving them over.

His favourites anyway.

Sitting down behind his computer he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, this was one of the last steps and he was only a few weeks away from his birthday.

“Okay Seto, just a few more weeks then the big unveil, the new `true' you and see if…if they will…if they can except you like this,” he whispered to himself as he opened his email. Seting down to work he sighed again and rubbed his brow.

The question that kept popping up though was: would he be ready? Or did he need more time…would he ever be ready?
