Chapter Eight
The next morning Yugi and Mokuba walked downstairs and noticed an empty fifth of scotch on the coffee table. They both looked at each other and shrugged as they walked into the kitchen to get some breakfast.
Yugi decided that he would let Aten sleep a little longer since he probably had a hangover and if he was anything like Yami would be even grumpier than would normally be when he woke up.
“I knew they would drink too much.” Yugi shook his head as he sat down at the bar in the kitchen.
Mokuba nodded as he poured Yugi and himself a cup of coffee.
“Seto hasn't drank that much in a long time.” Mokuba said as he looked over at Yugi.
“I remember the first time I ever saw Yami drunk. Bakura and he went out to a bar for the first time since they had their own bodies. Remember, it had been 3,000 years since either of them had anything to drink. Yami called me and couldn't remember how to get home and Bakura thought him and Yami were dating so he kept trying to get in Yami's pants. I heard Yami yelling at him to quite grabbing his ass and other things.” Yugi smiled as he said this.
Mokuba busted out laughing and almost sprayed coffee everywhere.
“Did Bakura ever get into Yami's pants?” Mokuba asked wide eyed as he couldn't believe what Yugi was saying.
“Yeah they did. There was an awful lot of noise coming from Yami's room and he kept yelling harder tomb robber. The look on grandpa's face was priceless as he and I sat in the living room trying not to listen, but they were being so loud.”
“I remember Bakura coming down the next morning and saying that the Pharaoh was the best night of his life and how Yami might walk funny for the next couple of days.” Yugi laughed as the image of Yami walking down the stairs that morning flooded his mind.
Mokuba laughed as he shook his head.
“Could you imagine Yami and Bakura dating?” Mokuba asked as he chuckled.
Yugi's eyes got wide as he shook his head.
“They would be in trouble constantly since Yami was a different person when Bakura was around.”
“How was Yami different?” Mokuba asked.
“Yami seemed to turn just as evil and conniving as Bakura when they were together.” Yugi smirked as Mokuba shook his head in disbelief.
Aten awoke and tried to sit up, but winced in pain and lay back down. Then last nights events replayed in his mind. He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them to look at his surroundings.
He was in a large room and under dark blue satin sheets. He noticed his clothes were thrown not too neatly on the large cherry wood dresser. He then looked over to his left and saw Seto sleeping on his side facing away from him.
He very slowly got out of bed due to the pain in his lower back, also not trying to wake Seto.
It took him a good while to take a shower as he stood under the hot water and leaned against the wall letting the water run down his back. It seemed to sooth the pain some, but not much. After what seemed like hours he got out and dressed in the same outfit he was in the night before.
Aten finally made his way downstairs trying not to let the pain show. He slowly made it to the kitchen and saw Yugi and Mokuba sitting having coffee and laughing. Yugi looked up and watched as Aten made his way toward him.
“Good morning.” Yugi smiled.
“Morning.” Aten said as he leaned against the wall.
Mokuba looked at Aten and noticed he looked tired and pale.
“Drank too much last night?” Mokuba asked Aten.
Yugi took a closer look at Aten. He too saw that Aten was very pale and had dark circles under his eyes.
“You don't look to well.” Yugi said concern in his voice.
“I am fine you two.” Aten forced a smile.
Yugi and Mokuba looked at each other not really believing Aten's words.
“Hey did you hear the weather report.” Mokuba asked.
Both Aten and Yugi shook their heads.
“We are supposed to be getting a snow storm. They say it could be the biggest blizzard ever to hit Domino.”
Aten looked outside and saw that it had already started to snow a little.
“Maybe we should head home Yugi. Street bikes don't do to well in the snow.”
“Yeah you're right.” Yugi nodded as he looked from Aten to Mokuba.
“Tell Seto bye for us and I'll call ya later.” Yugi said as he got up and grabbed his jacket and Aten's helmet.
“Alright talk to ya later.” Mokuba said as both Aten and Yugi waved and walked out the door.
Yugi was about to put on the helmet when he noticed Aten shut his eyes tightly as he straddled the bike.
“Aten, are you sure you're okay?” Yugi asked as he eyed Aten warily.
“Yes I am fine young one.” Aten said as he patted the seat behind him.
Yugi put on the helmet and got behind Aten and held on to him around his waist. He knew Aten was not fine, but what was he hiding from him.
Just like Yami, Aten tried to hide everything that may upset or worry him. Some how he was going to try and talk to him once they got home.
Aten maneuvered the bike quickly but cautiously around any spots that could have been ice. Finally they pulled up to the game shop and both dismounted the bike. Once again Yugi noticed Aten wince.
`What happened to you?' Yugi asked himself as he opened the door.
Both walked inside and Aten made his way into the living room. Yugi watched and saw that he was having a hard time walking and watched as he sat down and even winced when he did that.
`Okay something definitely isn't right with this picture.' Yugi thought as he walked closer to Aten.
“Do you want anything to drink?” Yugi asked.
“Sure. What are you having?”
“Hot chocolate.”
“Sounds great.” Aten smiled at Yugi who smiled back.
Yugi busied himself in the kitchen getting their drinks ready and wondering how he was going to get Aten to tell him what was wrong.
He finished with the drinks and made his way back into the living room and found Aten sprawled out on the couch asleep. Yugi set the two drinks down and kneeled beside Aten when he noticed marks on his wrist.
Yugi looked at Aten's wrist and gently touched it. Red marks and bruises covered it. He looked at the other one but had to move the sleeve up a little and it too had red marks and bruises.
“Oh Aten…what happened?” Yugi whispered as he felt tears come to his eyes and then noticed something else. There were bruises and bite marks on Aten's neck.
“Did Seto do this to you?” He whispered as he gently ran a hand through Aten's hair.
Just then there was a knock at the door. Yugi quickly covered Aten up with a blanket and ran to get the door. He opened it and there stood Jou, Anzu, Ryou and Bakura.
“Hey bud we decided to stop over and see ya.” Jou said as he stepped in.
Anzu, Ryou and Bakura followed and stopped in their tracks.
There lying on the couch was Yami.
Seto awoke and stumbled downstairs and toward the kitchen. He started to pour himself a cup coffee when Mokuba walked into the kitchen.
“Morning Seto.”
“Hmm…morning Mokuba.” He said as he clutched his head.
“I knew you drank too much last night. Aten didn't seem to be fairing to well either.”
Seto looked over at Mokuba when he said this.
“W…what?” Seto looked at his brother with wide eyes.
Mokuba looked at him and shook his head.
“You did drink to much last night. Yugi and Aten came over last night for dinner, remember?”
Seto looked at his brother still with eyes wide and mouth slightly open.
Mokuba rolled his eyes.
“Yugi and I went upstairs to duel and Aten and you remained down here.”
“Where are they now?”
“They went home since we are supposed to get a huge snow storm.” Mokuba took one more worried glance at his brother then walked back into the living room.
Seto finished pouring himself a cup of coffee and sat down at the table. He closed his eyes and images from last night flooded his mind. How he had gotten angry at Aten and beat him off the wall. How he forced himself on him and…Seto's eyes shot open and he placed a hand over his mouth.
He ran to the sink and emptied the contents of his stomach. Not because he had drank too much, but because of what he had done. He continued to dry heave as more images popped into his mind.
Aten was begging and pleading for him to stop as the tears ran from his eyes. Crimson blood was running down his legs and even after he had seen this continued to pound into him.
Seto splashed water in his face and looked up.
“I…raped him.” He whispered and cringed at what he had said.
Seto ran into the living room and stood in between Mokuba and the TV.
“Seto what…” Mokuba didn't get to finish when Seto interrupted him.
“How did Aten look when he left? Did he say anything?”
“Seto what's wrong?”
“Please Mokuba just tell me.”
Mokuba looked at Seto confused at his actions.
“He looked…pale and tired, but other than that fine.”
“Did he say anything?”
“Only that he was fine when Yugi and I asked him if he was alright. He said that they should be heading home since street bikes don't go to well in the snow.” Mokuba said as he stared at his brother.
Seto went white as he looked a Mokuba. Then without another word he ran upstairs and slammed his door.
Mokuba turned and looked at the stairs wondering what was up with him and why he was acting so weird.
Seto leaned up against the door and closed his eyes. An image of Yami and Aten appeared in his mind. Yami was holding a battered and bleeding Aten and both were looking at Seto with pain filled eyes.
“Seto how could you?” Yami questioned as he looked at him with tear filled, questioning eyes.
Seto could only shake his head as both images faded. He slowly opened his eyes and slid down the door. He placed his hands over his face and slid them up through his messy chestnut hair.
“What have I done?' He whispered as tears filled his eyes.
Tbc….
Okay so Seto feels bad for what he has done. What will he do? How will Aten react?
I know a little shorter than the last couple of chapters.
