Unspoken

Mokuba nervously ran his fingers through his hair and started pacing back and forth until Joey became so annoyed he grabbed the boy around the waist and made him sit down.

“Hey!” Mokuba giggled, trying to get away from the blonde.

Seto smiled as he watched his brother and lover fooling around. After the whole Duke fiasco they’d sat down and had a serious discussion about everything that had happened. Joey had made his blue-eyed boyfriend very proud with the way he handled Mokuba, dispersing any fears Seto had that he’d be forced to choose. Seto and Joey agreed that they wouldn’t spend all their free time together anymore and that Seto would do something just with Mokuba at least once a week. But what really made him happy was the time they spent together… like a family. Indeed, Joey was quickly becoming like a brother to Mokuba, and vice versa.

“Quit worryin’ Mokuba. It’s gonna be fine.” Joey said in exasperation.

“I know, I’m just really really nervous.”

“I know exactly what you’re going through little buddy, cause I went through the same thing with your bro.” Joey laughed as he recalled his first date, “I was completely stressed out cause I was certain I’d end up embarrassing myself… which I did of course.”

“Oooooh, you have to tell me!” Mokuba exclaimed.

Joey looked over at Seto and grinned, “Well, I was so nervous that I accidentally knocked my glass off the table.”

“That doesn’t sound too bad.” Mokuba sounded slightly disappointed.

“Yeah, but then I jumped up to pick it up and ended up colliding with the waitress who was bringing out our dinner. She lost her balance and ended up covering herself, Seto and I in everything.”

“Oh, that would’ve been pretty embarrassing. Is this supposed to be reassuring me?”

“It was terrible, I would’ve given anything to disappear… but you’ll never guess what you’re brother did.”

“What?” Mokuba breathed, sitting on the edge of his seat.

“He looked at me and he said, ‘You look cute like that, just like a messy little puppy’, and then he burst out laughing. ‘Course he was laughing with me, not at me and the waitress just stood there and glared.”

Mokuba laughed and pounced on his scowling brother, “Did that really happen Seto?”

“Yes, it did.” He tried to remain impassive, even though the memory of that night made him want to smile.

“Mr Kaiba.” One of the maids said, “There’s a young lady here to see Master Mokuba.”

Mokuba jumped up and started pacing nervously again, “Oh no, she’s here. I can’t do this, I’m going to make a fool of myself.”

Joey walked up to him and put his hands on the nervous kids shoulders reassuringly, “Hey, chill. Just remember that this is about having fun. You don’t need to get her attention cause you’ve already got it and you managed to do that while prancing around the shopping mall in a dress. Be yourself, laugh and have a good time ‘kay.”

Mokuba let out his breath and hugged the blonde, “Thanks Joey.”

“Bye Seto, I’ll make sure I’m home by ten.” He called out as he left the room.

Joey sighed and went to sit next to Seto, curling up on the couch and snuggling up to him, “So blue-eyes, you think he’ll be okay now?”

“Yeah, I think he’s going to be just fine.” Seto stroked Joey’s hair affectionately, “Thankyou for being so understanding with him, especially after what he did.”

Joey yawned, “Well, when you really think about it you, me and Duke were to blame for what happened with Mokuba. You and I for getting so caught up in each other we were oblivious to how much he was hurting and Duke for using his pain to his advantage.”

Seto laughed, “And here I was thinking you were stupid.”

“Mmmm, not stupid… silly. Your silly puppy. ‘Nite Dragon.” Joey mumbled as he buried his face in Seto’s shirt sleepily.

“Come on then my silly, sleepy puppy, time for bed.”

Yami and Yugi sat on Yugi’s bed nervously, each not knowing what to say to break the awkward silence that had settled over the room. Ever since Yugi had been released from the hospital their relationship had ground to a halt, confusing both parties.

“Um, Yami?” Yugi began hesitantly.

“Yes Aibou?”

“Is… is the reason you’ve been avoiding me because you… you are disgusted with me?” Tears were streaming down his cheeks.

Yami was horrified, “No! Oh Ra no Yugi.” He pulled the smaller boy into a bone-crushing hug.

“I don’t understand.” The little one sounded confused, “Why don’t you want me anymore?”

Yami pulled away and gazed into Yugi’s amethyst eyes, “Oh Aibou, it’s not that I don’t want you. In fact it’s the exact opposite.”

“What do you mean?”

“I want you more than anything but I don’t want to hurt you or make you feel uncomfortable. It’s only been a month since… since Duke hurt you.”

“But Yami… I want to be with you.” Yugi grabbed the other boys hands, “I want you to show me what love feels like.”

“But Aibou… are you sure?”

“I’ve been sure for the past week.”

Yami smiled and gently started kissing Yugi’s neck, “If you tell me to stop I will.”

“I know.” He gasped.

Yami slowly pulled the shirt up and over Yugi’s head, kissing his way up his chest as he threw the shirt away. Yugi moaned softly as his boyfriend grazed his fingers over his nipples ever so lightly, making him arch with pleasure. Pleased with this result Yami took the right on in his mouth, teasing it’s twin with one hand as the other undid Yugi’s pants.

“Yami! Wait!” Yugi cried.

“I’m sorry Aibou. Am I going to fast?” A breathless Yami asked anxiously.

“No… it’s just, can I… um, can I see you first?”

Yami smiled, “Of course Aibou.”

The spirit undid the buttons on his shirt and slowly removed it, deliberately letting his hands brush against his skin. Standing next to the bed he undid his studded belt and slid out of the black jeans he was wearing, leaving him clad only in his boxers. Before he could remove them Yugi reached forward and grasped the hem, nervously tugging them down and over his erection, his eyes widening when he saw Yami’s size.

“What’s wrong Yugi?” He asked, sensing his Aibou’s distress.

“I’m sorry Yami, I… I can’t. You’re even bigger than HIM and… and I just can’t.” He broke down and started sobbing into his pillow.

“Oh Yugi, there is nothing to apologise for.” Yami assured him, “I am more than willing to wait until you are ready.”

“But I want to give you what you want.” Yugi replied.

“And I want you little one, I want your love.” Yami held the crying boy close.

“You have that Yami, you always have.”

“Then you have given me what I want. Do not worry about the rest, we will go there when you are ready.”

“Thankyou Yami. I love you.”

“I love you too, my sweet Aibou.”
