Chapter Nine
He couldn’t tell which was
worse, the blinding pain emanating inside his head or the smell wafting from
between his legs.
Crimson eyes opened blearily
to the sight of a blissfully darkened room. He rolled to his side and found
himself in his bed. More precisely, his and Seto’s bed.

through his pained head. He remembered going out to the club opening with
Yuugi, Jounouchi, Bakura and Malik. He remembered seeing Seto and shooting way
too many shots of tequila. He groaned as he recalled the ‘sandwich’ he made
with Bakura and Malik. He remembered Seto’s jealousy and his response to Yami’s
actions.
The kiss. Gods. Seto had
kissed him last night.
reaffirmed his claim on him. Suddenly, the pain from his hangover didn’t seem
quite so bad anymore. He lay back against the pillows and closed his eyes,
trying to recall the rest of his memories. He was still so tired. He felt the
seductive call of sleep tickle his eyes he and slipped back into its wonderful
grasp, sighing with content as he did so. The sudden whiff of not so fresh air
startled him and returned him to the

drove him out of the comfortable bed and into the shower. He groaned with
frustration when he realized that he was still on his period. It seemed that
drinking large amounts of alcohol while menstruating was not the smartest of
ideas. Not only did your blood alcohol level shoot up, but he got to witness (and
smell) it go down again, tablespoon by tablespoon. He lathered his hair
forcefully with a sweet smelling shampoo and winced in pain over his own lack
of tenderness. Soap dripped into his eyes, making them sting like nobody’s
business. Crying out, he rinsed his eyes and huffed tiredly.
with its warm relaxing spray. His eyelids drooped once more and he almost
nodded off to sleep when he was jolted into wakefulness by the sound of the
shower door opening. He whirled around to find Seto standing there, his cheeks
flushed pink with embarrassment. In his hands, he held two Motrin and a glass
of milk.
“When I heard you get up, I
knew you would need this,” he explained. He offered the pain relievers to his
stunned fiancée. Yami accepted the pills
speechlessly. After downing the proffered pills, Yami’s eyes moved to search
Seto’s. Seto opened and closed his mouth
as if he were going to speak but then closed the shower door, his blush creeping
its way towards the tips of his ears.
Yami smiled to himself.
Despite his hangover, he had a feeling that the day would be a good one. At
least, what was left of the day.

He opened his closet to find
all his clothes returned to their rightful spots. Knowing that this was Seto’s
doing, he wasn’t surprised in the least. Pulling on a comfortable pair of black
cotton pants and a tee-shirt, he threw his hair in a ponytail and proceeded to
the only place Seto would be, his study. The trip down the hallway was spent in
silent contemplation. He wasn’t sure exactly what would happen when he
confronted Seto. On one hand he was overjoyed with the recent events, but on
the other, he was terrified. He paused in front of the heavy oak door leading
to Seto’s study. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and opened the door.
“How are you feeling?”
Upon hearing Seto’s soft
baritone voice speak those words, relief filled his entire being. “Better.” He
responded. “Thank you for bringing me that Motrin, I really appreciate it.”
Yami walked over to the couch were Seto sat and joined him.
speak. The moments passed. Feeling
uncomfortable with the silence, Yami opened his mouth to say something until Seto
held up a hand. He pressed a button on a nearby panel and the room filled with
music.
But you can't keep it bottled in
Jealousy, we got to swallow it
Your heart and mind baby follow it
Smile, happiness you could model it
And when you feel opposite
I just want you to know
Your whole being is beautiful
I’m going to do the best I can do
Cause I’m the best when I'm with you
Yami felt a smile curve on
his full lips. His eyes sparkled happily and his body relaxed.
His ruby eyes sought out
Seto’s sapphire. They connected and held each other, falling into the depth of
each other’s souls. They spoke without words, affirming their love for one
another.
Yami’s heart felt full, like
it would burst any moment spilling love and joy all over the place. All his
ailments; the pain from menstruating, his hangover, even the general pain from
his loss of manhood vanished into the shadows. He had forgiven Seto and he no
longer felt the pain.
Seto held out the beautiful
engagement ring Yami had left behind. Feeling the tears fall freely down his
face, Yami accepted the ring gratefully and threw himself into Seto’s warm
embrace.
“Hey Yuugi, why the huge
smile?”
The sound of Jounouchi’s
voice brought Yuugi back to reality. “Sorry,” he apologized with a slight blush
on his face. “What did you say?”
Jounouchi sent him a puzzled
look and repeated his question. Yuugi smiled once more.
“I just talked to Yami. He
and Seto are back together. I guess this means we’ll have to get him fitted for
bridal gowns now.”
