I mean you did just get back, so it's the least I could do. Plus being a good partner, right?
[He carefully moved Kubfu so he wouldn't get disturbed as he went to climb out of bed and heading around the bed. As soon as he got close enough to bent down to start picking up the items, which at least the first item was a pen, but he soon found himself pausing for a moment.
He noticed something that he couldn't quite figure out what it was, but the other item was pretty clear. Soon the young man went bright red in the face as he gave himself a moment.]
Um... Seto... [Okay maybe he really didn't know what to say right now.]
[ He leans his head over, takes in Yugi's red face and his uncertain tone of voice...and immediately realizes the problem. Seto coughs, his own face flushing. ]
Oh---that was. Uh. From Tidus. As a room-warming gift.
[ He swallows, tugging on his collar. He hasn't felt this flustered since...ever, really. ]
He wanted us to be prepared if we felt...comfortable, now that we have some privacy. I'm not saying now, or that we have to do it ever. It's just. A possibility...that I wasn't sure how to bring up.
[He... really was not expecting this at all. At least from Kaiba. Yugi himself wouldn't have been at all surprised if he had thought of it honestly. After all, it was one of the reasons Yugi even voted for double rooms, the potential down the line, but he hadn't expected it so soon.
Considering he knew what Kaiba was very much like. Yugi was honestly speechless and perhaps for a little too long did he just seemed to sit there as red as a tomato and trying to think of what to say.
It could have been perhaps five minutes, maybe more before he finally spoke again.]
Has it been something you actually thought about before?
[ The silence is killer. Seto finds himself full of doubt, wondering if he's perhaps scared Yugi away. Too much? Sure, healthy young couples do it...but they don't have to do it. Is it what he wants? What they want?
He eventually looks back over at Yugi and nods. ]
Sometimes...now that we're together at night, and I'm close to you, I wonder how it would feel. You'd be the only person I'd want to do it with.
[At the question that was all he managed to get out, but at least he was starting to become less red, but it hadn't fully gone for the time being. He knew what his answer was it was just actually getting it out that was the hard part.]
I mean...maybealittlebit. [Okay that was perhaps a little too quick that it didn't make sense. So he took a small breath.]
I have thought about it, yes. But I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to really bring it up.
[He looked over briefly for a moment before it dawned on him why he was even sitting on the floor in there first place. Looking at the items he at least was finally able to put them back into the bag at least.
But soon he didn't seem as awkward and less red as he decided to look over as soon as the last item was back inside the bag.]
[Okay maybe not fully, but that tiny part of him is mostly wondering if the gold name will ever change back. But that was something he wasn't really focused on for the most part. But for the time being he moved to be able to kiss the other on the cheek.]
For now at least we can get use to actually sharing a bed a little more.
[ Seto's good with that. He smiles, waits a moment...then retaliates with a playful kiss to Yugi's nose. After that he seems ready to settle in, snuggling closer than usual. ]
...I probably should say this more often, but I love you.
[Yugi had been pondering a few things. Mostly about the things that happened in the place they had gone to. A talk with Atem also made him realize a few things to. So he knew at some point he had to suck it up and actually say something instead of continuing to hide it.
So after having spent some of the day figuring outcode and practicing his programming he had made his way to look for the other, unsure if he would be in another carriage or their shared cabin, but either way he knew they needed to at least have a talk.
Upon finding him he stood there quietly for a moment.]
I think he meant it as a general term. basically anything.
[At least that as what he figured from the way he said it. He also knew him well enough to know that was a fact too.]
As for what's wrong. Nothing... necessarily, but what happened to me. I played off that I was okay when the reality is it has affected me. [His eyes soon looked off to the side.]
Haven't you notice changes in my behavior when in the cabin?
[ His mind had been on an entirely different track, but he holds Yugi protectively ]
I know it's almost impossible to feel safe again. I've almost finished an alarm that will send out an alert that no one can ignore if she enters again, but...
[ Sigh ]
You can tell me. I didn't want to burden you because you had it worse, but...maybe we should. Talk.
