Love

Seto ran his fingers through the blond's hair slowly, still halfway in the afterglow of having his lover ride him to Kingdom come. "Joey?"

The younger boy hummed quietly. "Se'?"

"…Is this what love feels like?"

Joey's eyes fluttered open as he looked up at him, surprised by the sentimental question. "Hmm?"

"I mean… am I supposed to have a buzz in my skull whenever I think about you? Is my chest supposed to get tight whenever I'm around you?" Seto frowned. "I've never felt this way around another person. Is this love, or should I go see a doctor?"

When the blond failed to answer him, he began to get worried. Maybe something was seriously wrong with him. Maybe these symptoms were actually signs of an incurable and fatal disease. What if he did have an incurable disease? What if he was dying? What if he was—

Joey rolled on top of him and smiled sweetly. "Yeah, that's sorta what it's like, but it's different for everyone. Why do ya think I blush so much when I'm around ya? And my heart speeds up, too."

Seto blinked at him slowly, then smiled back and reached up to cup his cheeks. "That's reassuring. Imagine what my doctor would have said if I went to him with those symptoms."

The blond chuckled at the thought. "Yeah, that woulda been pretty weird, even for you."
