Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ If only for one moment, I could be like you... ❯ Subliminal Regret ( Chapter 12 )

"Ryou" Seto purred, pulling the white haired teen into his arms. "I've been waiting to see you again..." he murmured in Ryou's ear, the hot breath sending chills down Ryou's spine. "Seto...I..." Ryou started, but was hushed by quite possibly the most searingly passionate kiss he'd ever had in his life. Ryou melted into Seto's arms, returning the kiss with equal fever. "I love you Ryou." Seto mumbled pulling away for only a moment, before resuming his kissing Ryou. `I've never been so happy!' Ryou thought, blushing and gleeful that he finally found the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. When the kiss broke, both held each other in tender loving arms, Ryou leaning into Seto's chest just taking in the scent of his clothes. Ryou gasped and felt himself being tugged through the floor, falling and suddenly becoming completely engulfed in water. "N-no! I cant!" He yelped, swimming as fast as he could to the surface, before his legs once more changed into what he was meant to have.

"No! I don't...I cant!" Ryou pleaded, unable to reach the surface of the water, or Seto. `Misfortune falls on wandering souls Ryou, I can no longer shield you from harm' Ryou froze. "G-great one?" He breathed, looking around in the darkened waters. Silence. The water began getting steadily colder and Ryou's teeth began to chatter. "I don't understand...What is going on?" Ryou mumbled. He looked up, where Seto had been, seeing only blackness. "Seto..." He said, determined to find the one who'd stolen his heart. Ryou forced himself to swim quickly up, hoping to find the surface once again. After only moments Ryou hit something solid. "W-what?" He said, gently running his hands over the invisible surface. "I don't understand...there's nothing here!" He squeaked when the waters rushed up and suddenly he felt himself being enclosed into a space so small he couldn't move. Ryou began panicking; he couldn't move he was being crushed! "N-no let me out! Stop please!" He pleaded to the darkness. "I'll die! There's no room!" He shrieked, struggling to get away from the invisible trap.

`I can no longer protect you...'

~~~~~

Jono snickered. Ryou was curled up on the couch bed; his nude form was entangled with the sheets and just barely covered his front, but left most of him bare. "Dork." He said softly, taking a moment to admire his smaller friend once more. "If you weren't so out of my league..." Jono whispered, before smirking. Quietly he crept closer to Ryou, before gently doing the most perverse thing he'd done in a while. He gently slid a finger into Ryou's entrance, careful not to hurt him...just jar him awake. Ryou gasped and immediately woke up, just as Jono was removing his finger. "JONOUCHI!" He yelped grabbing the nearest pillow and hurling at his head. Jono fled into the kitchen, laughing, to cook their breakfast since he didn't have to go to work for an hour. Ryou grumbled gently rubbing his backside. "I cant believe..." he grumbled. "He just lectured me, then he goes doing something like that!"

~~~~~

Ryou got dressed, deciding to push his bath away until later in the evening. "What are you doing?" Ryou asked, taking note of the wonderful smell in the air. "I'm making my famous waffles! Duh." Ryou blinked. "Um...what's a waffle?" Jono laughed. "Sorry, I keep forgetting you haven't a clue what anything manmade is." Jono said, breaking off a piece of an already made waffle and shoving it into Ryou's mouth. "Here." Ryou blinked as he chewed, a grin spreading across his features. "Mmmm" Jono laughed as Ryou's hand immediately reached to the plate for more. "Ah ah ah, its not finished! Why don't you do something fun for a few minutes while I finish up."

"But!" Jono shook his head. "Nope." Ryou sighed and nodded, leaving the kitchen quietly, not noticing Jono stuffing a whole waffle into his mouth. "Heh." He said around the sweet treat.

Ryou sighed and sat on the couch bed, taking some time to mull over the dream he'd had. "I don't...maybe I should just go home..." Ryou mumbled to himself, looking at his legs. "But...I love Seto... he's the one who I should be with...he's the one I WANT to be with..."

~~~~~

"Why don't you go after him big brother?" Mokuba asked as Seto ate his breakfast, in mostly silence. "I'm too busy for love Mokuba." Seto replied after a moment. "But big brother! We both know you love him, and we also both know you've never fell in love at first sight." Seto sighed, for a teenager Mokuba had a way of always being right. "He's with that annoying Jonouchi." Mokuba laughed. "Well, he works at the snack shack, and I bet he's there right now. Why don't you go over there and at least SEE him again? If you two fell in love I'd have someone to talk to when you hole up in your office." Seto laughed a bit, taking a moment to remember just how Ryou had looked at him. The insecurity in his eyes, the way he had trembled slightly.

"Fine, I'll go to see him and bring him here so you can meet him." Mokuba smiled brightly. "Oh great! Maybe now you'll smile more. After all, you know that true love conquers all, even office bears who are grumpy and grouchy and have no time for living." Mokuba said in his teasing voice.

~~~~~

Ryou jingled the key and key ring Jono had left with him, incase he wanted to leave and wander around. `But don't go very far, because you'll get lost.' Ryou smiled and looked out the windows. "Maybe I can meet more people...or find out what they do for fun!" He said, deciding to exercise his new privilege to explore. He was just heading to the front door when there was a loud knock. Ryou blinked and opened the door, before gasping and staring dumbly. It was Seto!

Seto smirked, already seeing that slight tremble in Ryou again, and the cute blush that spread across his cheeks. "Hello, I wanted to invite you over to my house. My little brother wanted to meet you." He said coolly. Ryou nodded dumbly, before stepping out of the house and fidgeting with the keys, locking the door behind him. As they walked to the awaiting limo, Seto searched for something to say. "So Ryou, are you taken?" Seto asked, as he got in the limo after Ryou. "Oh...no I'm not." Ryou said blushing deeper. "Oh..." Seto said smirking. "You're blushing." Ryou turned another shade brighter.

Ryou sat relatively quiet through the ride, and when they had reached Seto's home he nearly died. "Wow! It's bigger than the `mall'!" He blurted, to Seto's amusement. "I hear that a lot." Seto said smirking and leading Ryou inside. Mokuba smiled, he'd been waiting in the front room since Seto had left. "Wow big brother! He's really cute!" He said winking. Seto's cheeks turned a light pink for a moment before he rolled his eyes. "Mokuba..." he said in the `quit it...please' voice. Ryou was blushing madly at this point. "So what's your name?" The younger Kaiba asked, leaning over the back of the couch. "Um...Ryou." Ryou said smiling a little.

Seto took the opportunity to leave, before Mokuba tried to play cupid and do any damage to his ego. When Mokuba looked up from his list of questions for Ryou and noticed Seto's absence he grumbled. "He likes you ya know, he's just not the most emotional person alive." Ryou blushed lightly. "Really?" He said meekly, although on the inside he was cheering and feeling like he could just float away. "Yup, you guys should kiss...or you could go tackle him at his desk where he's probably working right now and do him." Ryou blinked. "`Do' him?" Mokuba laughed and rolled his eyes. "Never mind."

AN: There's gonna be lemon soon, but not soon enough. Lol. Seems Mokuba is a lil pervert. Anyhow...I just thought I'd update. Did you like the dream sequence? Yup yup. Well, I'd like some reviews. Um lets try and avoid `nice chapter, update.' Those...um...they're lacking substance. I MISS FULL SENTANCES! Lol. Actually I just wonder...are we putting computer Amazonian monkeys out of homes by cutting down cyber-trees to say tiny stuff like that? SAVE THE MONKEYS!! USE CYBER-PAPER WISELY!
