CHAPTER SIXTEEN: COMPLETE

For the first time.

Ryou awoke not alone.

But with someone's arms…

Wrapped tightly around.

Seto's warm body pressed against his.

He could feel Seto's warm breath on the nape of his neck.

It made him smile.

Seto awoke breathing in Ryou's essence.

A sweet mixture of honey and vanilla.

He nuzzled into Ryou's soft white locks.

"You feel so nice, Ryou. So…perfect."

He whispered in his ear.

"Mmmmm….Seto."

Ryou smiled.

"Can we just stay like this forever?"

Ryou asked.

"I don't see why not."

"Hmm…but what are we going to do to keep busy?"

Ryou giggled.

"Oh…I can think of a few things."

Seto quickly pinned Ryou beneath him.

Ryou squealed in shock and glee.

As Seto covered him with kisses.

After several hours of "keeping busy"

They decided it was time to get up.

Ryou and Seto stood in the kitchen making breakfast.

Ryou noticed that Seto kept staring at him.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Seto smiled.

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

"Who? Me?"

Seto grinned.

He walked slowly over to Ryou.

Like a cat on the prowl.

Those piercing blue eyes directed at Ryou.

Ryou slowly backed up.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

He pressed Ryou against the counter

Slowly kissing his neck.

Painfully slow.

"Seto!"

Ryou whined.

"What?"

Seto whined back.

He kissed Ryou's cheek

And then the other.

The tip of his nose.

And each eyelid.

"Ryou?"

He continued his intricate pattern.

"Mmmm?"

He smiled.

Eyes closed.

As Seto's soft lips gently brushed against his skin.

"I want you to live here."

"What?"

"I don't like you living alone in that apartment with all those memories."

He continued his assault on the soft pale skin.

"Oh, Seto."

Ryou smiled.

Wrapping his arms tight around him.

"Is that a yes then?"

Ryou beamed.

"Of course."

XxXxXxXxXx

Ryou looked back on all that had happened

So much had happened.

His life with Bakura seemed so long ago.

And yet it was still crystal clear

He looked at Seto.

Who was staring intently at his laptop.

Ryou was still in awe that he could be with someone so…perfect.

It still hurt thinking about Marik.

And he knew it always would.

But Seto was there.

To dull the pain.

To keep him safe.

To love him unconditionally.

To complete him.

And in Ryou…

Seto found what he had been missing all those years.

Someone to need him.

Someone to love him.

Someone.

To complete him.

AN: YAAAAAY! Done! Done! Done! This was a lot of fun to write, but I'm glad to be done with it and move on to something new. I hope you all enjoyed it and I appreciate all the wonderful reviews I have gotten throughout the story. So why not one more, right? ; )

Hope to see you back for new stories to come as well! I have three new ones I am formulating in my head—one of them will be a Seto x Ryou x Bakura, the other is a Marik x Bakura one and the last one is a Marik x Bakura with Pegasus (which has now been posted on my friend's--jadelioness)
