Credit for that goes to Kazuki Takahashi praise the man! *Bows* But… *Brightens* I do own the name Hiroko, it's not very important but still...I made it up! O.O

A/N: *Slowly creeps out onto stage* I know I've been such a horrible authoress but please, I beg of you, don't throw lemons at me for not updating sooner! *Gets hit with an apple instead* No apples either please…*Gets hit with a banana* Ok, NO fruits or vegetables or any pointy objects PLEASE!! *Silence* Ok well anyhow…*Clasps* I would like to give a great, BIG apology for waiting nearly 3 months to update this story!! *Bows vigorously* I'm so sorry everyone, please forgive me!

A tense Yugi was led to the grand double doors of Seto's unbelievably gigantic house. Searching his pockets, the CEO dug out his keys to unlock the gold knobbed doors, stepping aside to allow the two smaller boys to enter as a courteous gentleman would. It took a painful load of strength for Yugi to keep his jaw from hitting the floor. This wasn't the first time he had been to Seto's home of course, but it had only been a few times and it was a while since the last. As they entered the living room he took advantage of the unnoticed opportunity to observe the surroundings.

The entryway to the living room was simple, just a few pictures hanging here and there and some shoes piled neatly by the door, a closet off to the left where coats and such were stored until needed for use. The living room was a remarkable site though. It was a large cleverly crafted area with indigo carpet and walls with hint of silver. Oblique dark and creatively designed furniture lingered in the area on a dark black and red rug woven of stringy cotton. Across from the couch and chairs was of course a large surround sound television and stereo system. There were more paintings, pictures hung around the room with some miscellaneous gatherings such as plants, and small decorations professionally scattered encircling the square enclosure. It seemed as if the area was masterfully decorated.

"You either look like you just waltzed into heaven or you're going out of your mind." A deep voice forced Yugi out of his revere. Closing his involuntarily gaping mouth, he turned to see the voice had come from Yami who just happened to be grinning at him. Had the boys eyebrows not curved into an unsure gesture his smirk would make him look sarcastic.

"Yami can you ever go two minutes without being a smart ass?" He asked, the smirk all too soon leaving his sweet lips.

"Hmm…" He titled his head holding his chin looking as if he were in serious thought, then leered replying with a blasé "No."

Seto chuckled lightly, "You think he's bad now Yugi; just wait till you seem him behind closed doors." He made sure to toss a playful smirk at the darker tri colored male who just glared at him with that "And I can make it a hell of a lot worse" look. Yugi reacted with nothing more than his lovable smile. Yami turned to Seto expectantly all of a sudden.

"Well I guess it's time to head upstairs." The tall teen said, displaying his manners again as he gestured for the two to follow. Yami knew all too immediately what was going on as he gained a pace ahead of the petit angel obeying the request, observing more of what his vision took in as they were led up a circular set of red velvet stairs. More visionary's hung around the pastel colored walls, the surroundings letting off an unexpected calm and comforting notion, not something you'd expect in the home of Seto Kaiba. Nevertheless, surprises were proved to happen as he had showed his good side after dating Yami.

His ever so stubborn taut manner showed itself in the flow of his nerves as they approached a door down the never-ending hallway, his feet stopping on their own as the brunette boy grasped the knob to reveal what was hidden beneath the closed surface. Stepping in last he quietly took in the scenery just as he had done downstairs.

The room was enormous, the bed by far the biggest piece of furniture that stood out. Not just size, but also it's dark mahogany surface shining in the light with its four tall posts looming above a queen-sized mattress covered with light blue sheets and pillows, perfectly made of course. A dresser rested across the bed from the left with a nightstand, which bestowed a lamp and a digital alarm. A taller dresser covered in much darker tone loitered on the opposite side by the large window staring sideways into a door at the end of the right corner. Furthermore, there was another door, which most would guess to be a bathroom, as well as a table accompanied by chairs and a couple other pieces of small furniture that all stood on plushy cream colored carpet.

Catching himself this time, he focused his attention back to where the dark one and CEO stood. They seemed to be holding a very private and low voiced conversation, so low it seemed they were mouthing their words to each other. What ever way it was, both seemed to know perfectly well and shortly after they turned back to Yugi who had been permitting his eyes to wander randomly around the room, his pose suggesting he was feeling in the spotlight, not sure of what to do next.

"Aibou are you sure you're not about to have a breakdown? I've seen you more calm in dueling tournaments than now." Uttering a small "huh," the angel looked at his other half thinking he was be joking, but his expression was serious. He was always concerned about him.

"Yami you worry way too much about my well being. I know this hasn't been one of my more calmer times but do you honestly believe I'm on the brink of a meltdown?" He titled his head slightly trying to look casual although he did feel an inner war going on inside his mind.

"With the apprehensive aura you've been giving off only an idiot would believe you're not on the edge." Seto answered for the Pharaoh who held no disagreement to the statement.

Yugi swallowed down a lump threatening to form in his throat as he quietly tried to deny what they just said, "You guys I know I got kinda nervous over the night but I'm fine now, really. You don't need to worry so much about me or you two are gonna have the breakdown." He attempted at a smile but failed miserably.

Both frowned, not buying his story at all. Yami especially knew of the both of them Yugi's emotions and feelings, and he knew his Hikari was nervous. He needed to learn to accept other peoples concern.

"Aibou I think that maybe you should try considering letting other people try to help you when you feel the way you do now, and then maybe we'll stop worrying so much. Until then Seto and I are both going to be losing our minds." His sentence came out with more firmness than he had intended to use. He regretted it slightly as he noticed Yugi flinch just a bit. The violet-eyed boy was quiet, defeat seeping in slowly.

"Sorry Yami…I guess you're both right…It's just been annoying me so much…" Sighing he settled his sight on the fluffy carpet gently cushioning his socked feet. To Yami's surprise Seto approached first and took the small boy's chin in between his thumb and forefinger, tilting his head so their eyes locked.

"Yugi like Yami said it's ok, you just really need to learn to open up more. The reason people worry about you is because that you try to keep everything bottled up inside, and that's not good for you. We're here because we care about you and that means we're willing to listen. And we'll always do what we can to help you, remember that."

His entrancing blue eyes began to comb over the boy's image, pushing in deeper to untangle his emotions. Yugi's breath trapped in his throat and Seto just stood there, looking ready to kiss him right there right now. Instead, partially to Yugi's relief and partially to his disappointment he released his chin and stepped back, returning to Yami's side. The spirit smiled sincerely, complimenting Seto with his eyes on a job well done.

"Well now since that was taken care of why don't we carry on to enjoy our stay here?" Yami suggested, raising an eyebrow suggestively at Seto. He simpered with a well-known wickedness, before swiftly pivoting to take a seat on the bed, crossing his legs as he did so. Yugi was confused until he saw Yami go over to sit just a bit away from Seto, saving some room in between the two. He wasn't sure of what to do next, were they saving that seat for him? He mentally smacked himself; of course they were what else could there be? Still, he felt hesitant to carry on. The two smiled, patting the seat in between them. Beaming dimly he trotted forward at a leisurely pace until he had approached the bed and plopped down softly on the spot they had reserved for him, his feet coming off the ground. He frowned to himself; he hated being so small sometimes.

An unexpected silence had descended upon them, causing the young one to fidget. Out of nowhere a strong hand clutched his shoulder, kneading the tension out of it gradually. He was about to let loose a sigh of ease when another hand grabbed the remaining shoulder and started to copy the others movements. He tensed quickly, but it left as soon as it had come as their strength carefully worked the anxiety out of the slender smooth flesh melting beneath their hold. Now he was able to release his breath, not catching the charming beams on the other two's faces.

While the tense muscles slowly unknotted under the magic touch of the oh so skilled hands, Yugi's mind had decided to wander off into the vast plain of the scattered thoughts only he knew of, one's that not even his other half could obtain. To think only yesterday he felt ready to jump out of his skin at the realization of what he had gotten himself into. Dreaming about just Yami and him together was enough to set his heart on a tirade of speed, every blood and nerve cell racing maddeningly to reach the top of the line, exploding in their triumph. Now, he was with Yami, just as he always dreamed he would be; only now, there was more to it. There was another; another who held a close place to the core of his heart, one that was starting to stroke the fires of passion as was fueled before; the one who could also quicken his pulse with a simple smile or simple phrase. That other just happened to be Seto Kaiba, who had been Yami's steady solitary boyfriend until just yesterday. However, Grandpa had often said life was a funny road that could lead you to the most unexpected places.

The tenshi's mind was forced back in its tracks of thought as something stroked his ear, his golden bangs swinging back and forth only as lightly as the air would allow. A callused finger began flicking at his ear repetitiously, earning a small ragged inhale from the little one. The crimson-eyed culprit allowed a smirk to come as he carried on tickling the sensitive area, stroking the side of his child like face.

Seto gazed over in time to see Yugi's ear being flicked again by Yami's fingers, the violet-eyed beauty's focus diminishing surely as he started to grow weak in the mere touches. The executive unconsciously let his evil trademark resurface on his moist lips. It was only the first date he knew, but you could still have some fun couldn't you? Hell they had known each other for over a year. Concocting a devious scheme he loosened the grip on Yugi's shoulder to run it down his back, loving the small shivers that trickled down his spine, teasing it's way to his slender hip as he scooted closer. Feeling the heat growing in between the small space that separated them Yami lapped gingerly at the soft cheek facing him. There was almost no air space between the three at all and Yugi was glad at that moment that he wasn't claustrophobic.

Suddenly, Seto decided it was time to advance out of the safety of the kiddie pool and dove for the first shot into the lake. Leaning downward without changing their holds on Yugi much, he pressed a feathery kiss onto the tenshi's lips. Keeping the kiss gentle enough he slowly unraveled his anxious tongue to feel the smooth, full lips trembling lightly beneath him. Feeling the new set passion stir into the locks of his common sense, the CEO obeyed the first fiery instinct and hardened the lip lock, holding him closer to explore the hot cavern.

Yami smiled as he saw Yugi's eyes swiftly close in bliss as Seto pried his mouth open for a full taste. He had a pretty good feeling what the taller teen was going through; He himself felt like he was floating in the clouds the first time that he had kissed Yugi. The innocent sweetness just flooded your taste buds. Yami secured his arms around the little one's chest so he could kiss the back of his neck, feeling an amused evilness dwell inside as his ears registered the little noise that shifted in Yugi's throat. The smaller boy gave in to the kisses with a passionate abandonment, leaning back more, sensing a moan shooting up into his vocal chords.

As Seto made the kiss more intimate, his little scheme from just previously popped up in his head, and he decided better now than never. It was now time to go from the lake to the shark tank. He smiled evilly inside his head. A pair of long hands skillfully looped their way around Yugi's tiny waist to help him tower above the small one without adding too much weight on him. Yugi's brows scrunched together worriedly; it seemed to be a sudden rush of déjà vu as he recalled what happened last night.

Picking up the signal indicating the confusion inside his counterpart, the ex-Pharaoh kissed his neck more before leaning back a little, unconsciously to him giving Seto more leaning space.

//Yami…// Yugi sounded scared.

/Shh. Don't worry I'll make sure nothing you don't want to happen happens. I made a promise and I intend to keep it./ Uncoiling his fingers he delicately traced swirling patterns up the boy's neck and around his face. Thankfully the method began to put him at ease. Blowing tauntingly on his ear he kissed the back of it, making only a small smile.

That trick, however, did not get to use its effects as long as intended, for someone else had other plans in mind. Seto's kiss was growing feistier by the second and he decided to let his hands have a mind of their own. Drawing his arm back, he slid the left palm up inside Yugi's shirt, his long fingers curiously nudging at the soft skin that lay beneath.

Yugi gasped softly as Seto's palms worked their way around his torso, teasing the sensitive area. Part of him was excited at the new touches, but the fear refused to die down. Yami, tired of just holding Yugi and kissing his neck, decided to join in. A callused set of fingers joined the exploration under the angel's shirt, stopping shortly after just by his left nipple. Mentally smirking he placed his right forefinger over the ultra susceptible part, letting his touch work its way to make it harden. Yugi's groan of delight pleased him, the slow process sending blood rushing to the tightening spot of his leather pants.

Seto stopped kissing him for just a moment to look at his other lover, noticing the faint red brushing scantily over his nose. Though Yugi was blocking his intended sight, the CEO guessed Yami was starting to get as excited as he was, unfortunate for him his would be much more noticeable. He had warned him about that; but nooo, he just had to be him and show off all the time. Not that he minded the tighter clothing, mind you, it's just it could have its serious downfalls at times, mainly in this particular case and when horniness struck in public sightings.

Yugi moaned again as the Egyptian hands trailed softly around his nipple still, the touch electrifying his boyish desires causing the blood to course faster, the lightly colored pecks hardening immediately. He had never imagined such a feeling could come from such a small gesture. Sure, he was innocent, but he did have naughty thoughts, though some of them left him in complete embarrassment, and he had had normal boy reactions to certain desires that stirred when curiosity came. But it was nothing compared to the real thing happening, as if right now. To top it off he had double the trouble.

Kami must have sent that last thought to the little devil latched on Seto's ear, whispering it's lusty orders as its power set the torch aflaming. Grinning widely, surprising Yugi for a second, he gently locked a hold on him and pulled him away, leaving the Pharaoh in wide-eyed astonishment. Before either could question, he carefully pushed Yugi into the middle of the bed, slowly yet effectively making his way above the smaller boy's bewildered expression. Not being able to restrain the cravings much longer, he stooped down quick as a hawk to crush the pale lips beneath him, sliding his tongue in rebelliously. Yugi was shocked, not to mention getting freaked out. He had a feeling in the pit of his gut that when they got here something like this would happen, and though he attempted at preparing for it, stun still made its guest appearance.

Yami gasped softly as he watched his aibou being lustfully dominated by the lanky teen over him. His heart quickened a beat; he wasn't sure what to do. Stop him or not? It didn't seem too bad at the moment, sure Yugi was a little anxious, but he was really do nothing more than kissing him passionately. All reason flew out the window though as Seto supported most of his body weight on one hand so the other was free to roam around the waistband of Yugi's pants. He rubbed his thigh gently, loving the even feel of cloth and skin mush as his hungry touch stroked it's way over the inner part of his thigh, all but reaching the appriopate destination.

Finally, he reached for the long shot. Giving the body part one last brief stroke, it cupped the untouched area settling calmly between Yugi's legs. Much to anyone's surprise, his saucer sized purple orbs pooled with disbelief, his sharp draw of breath reminding one more of that of fear, not excitement. Wanting the young one to relax, he began to stroke it slowly, putting just the right amount of pressure on it. He still looked scared but his rapid breathing looked more like a sign of easing up.

Yami sat there on his knees away from the two, giving them space. His mouth hung open by a millimeter, seeing the two people he loved more than anything in the world get involved in the most intimate way. It was such a turn on…He gulped, "Damn hormones, being a man is rough…" He felt a pang of something strike inside him. He thought hard; it had to be an emotion, a fearful one. As if someone was panicked…Then his logic rushed in slowly and it hit him in the head as if whip was cracked at his skull. Yugi!! He looked over, and felt something stir inside him. Call it surprise, call it protective instinct, call it fear for the hell of it, none mattered to the dark one. As his wise crimson eyes took in the executive trying to squirm his way into Yugi's jeans for a much closer touch, the sixth sense in the core of his guts sprung into action.

"Seto, what are you doing? Stop!!" Lunging forward he grabbed the CEO by the waist, pulling him back onto the bed so he fell on top of him. Realizing his mistake he sat up quickly and turned Seto away from Yugi, who was sitting up and breathing deeply, hand over his heart. His legs locked together like a shield.

"Yami what in the name of Kami was that for??" Seto asked loudly, even a bit irritably. He rose to his knees quickly and scowled at the dark teen, who returned it back ten fold.

"That was for preventing you from making a mistake." He replied, frowning as he crawled over to Yugi's side, wrapping his arms around the small boy protectively. He opened his mouth to apologize, but a glare from his other half shut him up immediately.

"A mistake? What the hell are you talking about? Yugi's my boyfriend now too, and I hold some rights to what I get to do. I wasn't intending on raping him or anything, I just wanted to touch. Is that such a crime?" The blue-eyed teen shot out in an angry tone, crossing his arms. This made Yami pissed for some reason, for he tightened the lock on a slowly calming Yugi and glared more evilly at his lover.

"Seto you know just as good as any man does that moving too far on the first date is a BAD mistake, no matter how long you've know that person. And considering the length of time you and Yugi have been friends, you should know near damn well that he hasn't been with anyone that way before." He paused to look at the angel for a second, then turned back to Seto, "We said we were gonna take this slow, and now look what's going on. You should at least make out first before going to that level."

"You make it sound more horrible than it really is. There's no need to be so paranoid, Yugi wasn't totally scared out of his mind over it, were you angel?" He looked at the mentioned boy, softening his gaze. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he nodded softly. There was some truth in that after all.

"I'm aware of that Koi, my eyes haven't failed on me yet. But I promised I wouldn't let anything he wasn't sure of happen to him. I almost made a huge mistake the night before…" His lids fell as the memories pried into his mind.

"And what would that be oh so loved Pharaoh?" Yami opened his eyes expecting scorn and sarcasm, but he was smirking, and his eyes gleamed with playfulness. He released a trapped breath; at least he wasn't angry with him now.

"…When I came home after we…'celebrated'… Yugi and I got a little closer…" A small smile spread over Yugi's soft lips. Yami smiled back, pulling him into his lap. "But after we were done kissing, I got a little out of hand…I had him pinned down to the bed and I was going for much higher goals. Thankfully Yugi managed to push me away before I let my hormones get the better of my judgment. After that I couldn't believe what I had done and I swore never to do that again."

"He even swore on his deck." The youth tossed at a closely listening Seto, his smile one full of tease. Yami rolled his eyes grinding his fist gently into Yugi's hair, smirking at his childlike laughter.

"And what I was doing you thought was bad? At least I wasn't going for fucking his brains out the first night." The lanky boy quipped, crossing his arms. Yami glowered at him, sticking his tongue out a moment later. Yugi laughed again, they were getting into their moments once more.

"Well even though you were to some extent a little over-worried, I apologize for taking things over the line. I'll control myself from now on, just like some other people have to." He grinned at his taller lover, crawling over to take Yami into his Indian style lap, Yugi still sitting in the bundle of leather that belonged to his Yami. He just hoped Seto didn't have too much weight piled on his lap. Sighing softly he buried his head the ex-Pharaoh's built chest, closing his eyes in serene security. Yami smiled, doing the same thing to Seto, who just smiled, truly smiled that is, and embraced them both tightly to him, loving the enjoyment of both tri-colored boys in his hold. They sat there for long moments, wanting nothing more than for reality to step out the door so they could remain in each boys' arms. But, truth came back pounding when Yugi sighed softly.

Yami quirked his eyebrow, "Something wrong aibou?" He brushed some bangs back away from half-closed amethyst eyes. They looked at him carelessly.

"No, I'm just dazing off is all." He gave a small smile. The Pharaoh nodded, securing his arms even tighter around the youth. Seto just had his normal calm and serious face as he held both boys with one hand on their backs. Yami spoke suddenly,

"Maybe we should go do something until Yugi and I have to return home." Seto looked down at him curiously with the angel. Yami looked up at him only though.

"Like what?" The Pharaoh smirked, his ruby eyes shimmering mischievously.

"How about we go for a dip in your pool? It is a warm night after all…" He blinked, trying to look innocent. But his tantalizing trait never failed to show itself. Seto smiled, getting the idea immediately. Yugi was still confused, looking at both of them.

"Sure, sounds like a good idea to me. What about you Yugi?" The CEO directed his expression at him, wondering if he would catch on. But alas, the smaller one was simply too innocent at the time being to catch what was being tossed at him. He beamed guilelessly.

"Ok, swimming sounds fun. What about suits though?" He cocked his head like a kitten, both the serious boys fighting the urge to smile broadly at how utterly adorable he looked.

"Who said we needed suits?…" The Pharaoh grinned, bursting out in laughter with Seto as Yugi blushed deeply just like a cute little tomato. His eyes enlarged making the effect more hilarious to see.

"…I….I was only kidding…aibou….hahaha." Yami calmed down enough to say, hugging him. "You should have seen the look on your face…" He managed to control his hysterics and now merely grinned. Seto still chuckled, smiling wider than normal. He turned to look at Yugi, whose face began to look a more normal color now. Violet eyes reflected mild embarrassment.

"I…I have some….you two can borrow…" Chuckles dying down, he got off the bed after gently setting Yami out of his lap. He stood up, looking at the two. "Well, you two coming or not?" He extended a hand. Wrapping an arm around Yugi's waist to support his weight, Yami took the hand offered and was pulled off the bed, standing as he scooped up Yugi's legs with his free arm, holding him against him.

"All right then let's go." He looked back once more before walking off to the door, Yami following quickly behind. Yugi tried to squirm his way gently out of Yami's arms.

"You don't have to carry me Yami, I can walk you know." He protested, looking up at his darker half. He simply glanced at him saying, "I know, but I'd rather carry you."

"I might start feeling heavy later on." He spoke up, his resistance futile.

"Are you kidding aibou? With your weight and size you could never be heavy even if you ate like Joey and Tristen combined." He bent down to kiss his forehead, the two exchanging smiles as Seto led them down the turning hallways. He stopped at a door that looked identical to all the others in the hall. Opening it he walked in and knelt down to began rummaging through a large box of clothing. Yami stopped just at the doorframe, still holding Yugi. Both looked on wonderingly as the CEO rummaged through looking for what he had come for. Finally he pulled out a couple swim trunks and turned around.

"This should fit Yugi, it was Mokuba's from last year." He tossed it at Yami, who uncurled one hand to catch the flying garment. It was blue with black swirls around it. Yugi took it so Yami's hand could lock around his thigh again, holding the trunks out in front of him, "Thanks Seto." He flashed a brilliant smile as he stood up, holding out the trunks he had picked for Yami.

"These were mine from when I was about 12. They should fit." The Pharaoh looked it over, nodding slowly with approval.

"Yes they should be fine. They're not bad either." The last part came out almost reluctant to Yugi's sound. But he shrugged it off as Yami took them to crush it against his leg, still holding him up. This one was red with black lines across the waistband and the legs of the shorts, jagged gold lines running down the sides.

"It's just like your hair color Yami." The youth pointed out, smiling as Seto noticed as well.

"You mean our hair color Yugi." The boy waved it off with a casual "Whatever". Grabbing his own suit, Seto signaled for the other two to follow him out. He shut the door quickly behind them, and began to lead them down to his large temperature controlled pool.

Throughout the way to their night swim, Yami kept Yugi cradled in his arms, and Yugi loved every second of it. Seto stayed an appropriate distance ahead as he led them through the large house. He turned his face casually to sneak a corner glance of the Pharaoh's nose nuzzling the youth's hair, who giggled at the ticklish sensation that intruded his head. Finally they stepped off the small step of the patio door, Seto walking around the two to close it swiftly before arresting his attention back on his lovers.

"What'd you stop for Yami? You've been here quite enough to know where the cabana is." Seto asked.

"I was simply waiting for you to accompany us Koi." He replied, running his tongue smoothly over his upper lip. Yugi felt a baby sweat drop appear on the side of his head.

The CEO, not possessing the same guile however, felt his blue eyes gleam with malevolent passion as he gave his lips permission to peak its corners. "Well then, what are we waiting for?" He held out the hand opposite of that clutching his swim trunks as a gesture to carry on. Nodding the dark half carried on in lead of Seto now to the cabana so they could change. When he stopped though, the young businessman motioned for them to go first, taking a seat in a nearby beach chair. With a small shrug of the shoulders he entered the dark shelter with a now anxious Yugi, who was put down on his own two feet less than seconds later. He stood there as Yami began unlacing his boots as if they had done this type of thing everyday. Yami looked up shortly to find his light now standing from a side angle, dropping his shorts onto a nearby chair. His hands froze at the front of his vest as Yami asked him,

"If you're uncomfortable changing in here with me than I'll leave you to change in privacy." The offer was good, tempting under normal circumstances. But he was trying to overcome his fear of being seen unclothed. So he shook his head to Yami's polite offer. "Thanks but I think I can handle it Yami." It was at that moment he realized his answer came out unsure, and bit his lips as Yami spoke again,

"Aibou, I'm no fool, it's rather obvious you're uncomfortable, so I'll leave you be. Besides, remember the shower incident?" A smirk came as the memory resurfaced. Yugi blushed at the mentioned. The Pharaoh stood up, not caring both his boots were unlaced, and walked over to give the red-faced boy a hug from behind when he saw his head droop in silent frustration.

"It's all right itoshii, there's no reason to be aggravated with your self-consciousness. Lots of people have the same issues, modesty is often quite amusing." He smiled and squeezed the boy gently. "It'll diminish over time, don't worry."

"What if it doesn't Yami? I heard that some people are like this till the day they die." Violet eyes locked their target on crimson ones. "What if I end up like Hiroko-chan and spend all my years dressing in a closet away from everyone else?"

"Yugi, that was a TV show…" He made a "-_-"

"You never know…" He defended weakly, his shoulders rising slightly.

Rolling his eyes he bent down to whisper in his ear, "With Seto and me around I doubt very much that will be happening…" A low chuckle escaped his lips as his Hikari's eyes rose. Kissing the side of his face he let go and quickly strolled out the door to wait with Seto, who received an answer through whispers.

Sighing, the tri-colored angel gripped his vest again to slide it off his shoulders. As he tossed the gray garment aside to continue undressing he began to follow a trail of thought. He couldn't even start to comprehend how Seto and Yami could be so patient with his naïve façade, not to mention the body shyness. But they were so good about it, so calm, almost as if they enjoyed the way he acted. But then again, Seto and Yami were pretty identical when it came to passion; fiery exteriors that were controllable but were like being near wild flames of rage when let loose. Maybe having him, the complete opposite, was a new and exciting experience for the two duelists. Or at least he concluded.

He pushed the matter aside as he slipped into his swimsuit and piled his clothes neatly on the chair. Grabbing a towel from the cupboard he exited the cabana slowly. The two looked up from their kiss as Yugi cleared his throat gently, looking afar as both broke away grinning.

"Done I take aibou?" The spoken boy nodded. "Good, now it's our turn." He rose while his taller mate stood for a moment, looking over Yugi's petit form. It was bathed in moonlight, it's pale glow shimmering on his flawless skin. It looked so soft, and his lips glistened with light and moisture, making them look so kissable. His amethyst eyes sparkled unknowingly as Seto smiled slowly, pleased with what he saw.

"Eh…like something Seto?" The shy Hikari asked, gripping the towel that hung around his neck.

"Wouldn't you like to know little Koi." He winked, which was a rather un-Seto thing as he slowly walked over to the Duelist King waiting just before the entrance.

"Hey doesn't the Pharaoh over here get some love and attention?" He pouted, putting his hands on his hips. Seto smirked,

"Please you can survive a few moments out of the spot light. Spoiled brat, as if he didn't get enough." A chuckle was heard followed by the echo of someone being hit on the head.

Taking a breath he threw his towel over a lawn chair and sat on the edge of the pool, sticking his feet in. It was obviously controlled temperature; warm enough to enjoy like a summer bath. It was big, deep, and rectangular with a shine of clean that spoke louder than the moon's gleam. Seto Kaiba was not one who settled for under perfection when it came to his house. He arched his neck so you could look up at young stars that danced lively in the velvety blue sky.

He smiled with a glow that only a child could match; such simple things could still bring out the joy most people would have lost by now. He was brought out of his star gazing as gentle footsteps called out their entrance. Turning he saw Seto and Yami emerge from the cabana, dressed in their swim trunks and throwing their towels over the pool furniture as he had done earlier.

Both were just utterly breath taking in their true forms. Muscles and tanned skin normally hidden beneath the barriers of cloths now exposed freely, smooth texture screaming with the joy of almost no restrictions. Like Yugi, their forms were too bathed in moonlight, though not quite as pale as his complexion matched. Seto approached Yugi, taking a seat on the edge close to him, letting his feet and calves soak up the warm water.

"Hey there beautiful, I hope you don't plan on only letting your feet enjoy the water." He told him, taking the closest hand to lock it in his embrace. He leaned down and kissed his cheek.

"I was merely waiting for my two wonderful Koi's to join me." He replied, grinning as he returned the grip on the hand lock. Sapphire eyes glimmered mischievously, but before he could reply, another deep powerful voice was heard.

"Is this a private party or am I allowed to join?" Yami teased, standing behind them. Both turned to look up at him.

"No Yami, you're not allowed to join because you're too damn hot and it's making us look bad." Seto answered sarcastically. Yugi giggled with closed eyes. He was stopped however, when a slim figure kneeled down by him and whispered in his ear.

"Oh little Yugi…" He trailed off purposely.

"Yeah…?" He whispered back, confused.

"….Better think fast!" He said, catching the tri-colored boy off guard as he pushed him into the pool, Seto half-falling, half-jumping in with him so as not to break their handhold. Yugi resurfaced, taking a breath as he glared at the dark one who was currently laughing at his accomplishment. Seto had a deadpan stare but unknown to the other two, he had a payback cooking in his head.

"Yami, do you have a death wish?" Yugi asked calmly, smiling evilly.

"Only if you're there to greet me at the door." He replied, winking as his laughter died down. Seto moved closer to the edge, his payback ready and waiting to be served.

"Well we certainly can't kill you, where would the fun be in that? However…" He trailed off in the same teasing manner.

"However…?" Yami asked, raising an eyebrow.

"…Payback is always the next best thing!" Moving quick, he grabbed Yami's legs and tossed him in, the stunned Pharaoh flying straight into the water farther ahead catching a breath in time before the pleasant water enveloped his body. Coming to the surface he approached Seto, who was laughing and giving Yugi a high five.

"Come on Yami, you should have seen that coming." Seto said, grinning triumphantly at his lover. He gave a (-_____-) and suddenly spit water into Seto's face, supposedly having swallowed some when he went under to give as a comeback. Yugi chuckled as the stocked pool water sprayed the CEO's face, which went (o__o)

"Prepare to die Pharaoh!!" With that he pounced, and the two engaged in an all-out water war. Yugi swam back, floating as he watched the battle taking place, grinning. The two were teetering equal in strength as they pushed, dunked, grabbed, and wrestled. Yugi guffawed when Yami jumped on Seto's shoulders, wrapping his legs around his neck as he used one hand to grip his chin while the other took deliberatey of pummeling his head to aid the anime-grown fangs digging into his scalp. The brunette boy struggled with one arm tugging at the legs while the other smacked Yami in the face, hitting various spots due to blinded vision. Poor Yugi was laughing so hard he was afraid he would wet himself right there in the pool.
