Again, this was trying to be
immicolia's drabble. But it's really very much not... *beats head into table*
They don’t touch.
Not really.
In bed together. Joined in more ways than one (tongues in each others’ mouths, Kaiba’s cock deep in Yuugi’s ass) and still neither of them is really there.
Both a thousand miles away. Yuugi several thousand years away as well. And that’s nothing new.
But at different points over the course of the night, one will resurface and resent that the other’s not really there with him. And sometimes this moment happens at the same time for both of them and their eyes meet and there’s something shared between them and they ache together instead of apart.
The moment passes quickly though. And then they’re back in their own separate worlds.
Yuugi looking at another with his face, Kaiba at another of his flesh.
It’s actually sort of ironic.
And they both know it (in the backs of their brains only, because bringing the consciousness any further forward hurts and they both hurt enough already).
Thrust, groan, arch, whimper.
Motions without the spirit behind them.
Weeks months years go by like this and Kaiba looks up one day and realizes that not really having Yuugi is more painful than the knowledge that he’ll never have Mokuba.
Disgusted with himself in the single small moment before he can smash the realization down. Angry with Yuugi for doing this to him, angry at himself for falling for it.
Seto shoves Yuugi out of his bed the next morning (grinning maniacally down at the little shattered body that squirms on his floor and looks up at him with broken eyes because he knows otherwise he’ll cave and pull Yuugi back up onto the bed and they’ll be right back where they started).
Yuugi’s shoulders slump as he walks out the front door (hours later- having tried any tactic he could think of to change Kaiba's mind).
Seto tells himself that he doesn’t care.
And then they're really and truly, completely alone.
In mind, spirit, and body.
