Yeah, sorry about the lateness. Not really sure what happened there.

This should be despairing.
Despairing and broken and terrible in its intensity.
But it’s really just-
not.
Yuugi pulls them together this time. Calls Kaiba home from work (and Seto doesn’t even bother trying to stall or resist like he did the last time, just packs everything up and leaves the building), finds Mokuba doing his homework in an upstairs room.
And Mokuba raises his eyes, and then his eyebrows after a moment, and he’s about to ask-
Except then he just knows. Impossibly, unbelievably, sees it in Yuugi’s expression or something because it’s all suddenly considerably more than obvious.
He grins. Widely. Follows Yuugi downstairs and they kiss while they wait, open mouthed and languid.
Kaiba opens the door later and it’s like it was the last time (when he came home after months away), except upside down. Upside down and backwards because this time he's been only gone a day. This time, instead of sitting side by side, untouching, they’re tilted toward each other and Mokuba’s tongue is in Yuugi’s mouth. And when Mokuba does look up, he doesn’t rush forward to greet his brother, but stands slowly and moves forward slowly and kisses Seto firmly. With warmth and determination.
They move to the bedroom after a while.
And Seto knows (knows) that this can’t be happening. That if it is, he hates himself for it. That it doesn’t really change anything that Yuugi’s here too now.
But it’s actually simpler than that. It’s just lips and flesh and enough.
Exactly enough. More than enough.
Less painful (wrong) than it should be, for reasons he understands not at all.
He lets himself touch Mokuba all over and push his cock up into Yuugi and kiss them both until they’re all three breathless and panting.
He lets himself feel in a way he hasn't since this all started. Since ever, actually.
And he doesn’t let himself break.
And when it’s all over, he lets them curl up against him (even curls back a little) and maybe, maybe lets himself smile.
Just a soft twist of his lips (not a wide beaming thing like Mokuba used to give him), but a smile just the same.
And it definitely shouldn't be like this.
But it is.
