They all stood around the grave in silence ...
Yugi, who was crying nonstop, Mokuba, who had only bowed his head, Yami, who was convulsively suppressing the tears, Anzu, who clawed her fingers in the small pocket on her shoulder and ... Seto ...
He stood still ... stared blankly at the coffin, which was slowly being lifted into the grave. He remembered ... he remembered everything that had happened ... thought this over again and still couldn't believe it.If HE hadn't been so stupid ... if HE hadn't yelled at him like that and evoked false guilt feelings in him ... then ... maybe he would still be with him ...
Over and over again he saw these pictures ... these scenes of the last few days ... and he started over and over again to look at them. As if they were terrible photos, he let them run in his mind's eye ...

> Flashback <

A week ago...
They had been married for a month now and there had never been any problems.
Both were happy and satisfied ... satisfied with themselves and satisfied with each other. It was shortly after sunset when Seto opened the door of the huge villa and heard the two younger boys laugh. Mokuba and Jonouchi were probably back at the console, which hardly bothered him, after all, he wanted both of them to be happy. However, he was just remembering what had happened two hours ago. One of his employees had committed suicide in front of the other colleagues ... horrible sight.He didn't go into the living room first, got a yogurt from the kitchen and went upstairs to the bedroom. Immediately after he sat down, he opened his laptop, gently rocked the spoon between his lips and first looked at the screen. He had recently started to write a kind of "cyber diary". While reading through it, he noticed that the entries more and more often had bad content, which he didn't like. Accidents happened all the time, someone killed himself again and again or people disappeared and were found dead the next day or the day after that. He sighed heavily, put the yogurt pot to one side and started typing. It wasn't really difficult for him to write this down ... and yet ... it worried him that it couldn't be normal after all. Since Jonouchi had been living with him, yes, this had started exactly a month ago and ...
No ... Jonouchi couldn't do anything to anyone ... well, he fought sometimes, but the number of fights had dropped a lot.Hardly anything happened and besides, Jou was in the villa all day when he didn't bring lunch to the young company manager ... but otherwise.
He kept typing quickly, hardly paying attention to what he was writing, but he still knew which words formed into his short, quick sentences. After a few minutes he closed the laptop again, sighed softly, and turned back to the yogurt.
Once again he thought about how many people died in his environment, but then shrugged his shoulders and concluded with the fact that he didn't really care ... but what would happen then would be his attitude change suddenly ...
...
Four days later ...

The young blonde ran hastily through the entrance of the Kaiba Corp. , greeted a few of Seto's employees here and there, wondered every now and then why someone was missing and then ran on. Waiting for the elevator was too stupid for him, so he rattled up the stairs. Like every lunchtime, he brought his husband's meal, which was always a small pleasure for him, since he could see him before the end of the day.Smartly, he ran past the secretary, then stopped in front of the manager's door and cleared his throat briefly before knocking. Then a muffled "Yes?" When he heard about it, he opened the door, stuck his head in the office, and smiled.
"Hello Seto ..." he said, came in and closed the door behind him. Slowly he walked over to his husband, still smiling and ... suddenly the smile was gone. Why was Seto staring at him like that? Did he say anything wrong? Anything ... done?
"Jonouchi ...", the older one hissed softly, "... do you have to come now ...?"
What was going on now ?! Otherwise Seto was always happy when Jou brought him the food, but this time it didn't seem to be so. The blue-eyed man's hair was a bit tangled, his eyes were ice cold and it seemed as if he were untouchable.
The blonde blinked briefly, tilted his head slightly and asked, confused: "Why? Am I coming at an inconvenient ...? Is there anything pa-"
He got no further, because Seto raised his hand and motioned for him to be quiet."Did something happen ...?", He growled softly, got up and looked at Jou even colder, "Did something happen ...? Of course something happened! Something happens every day !! And every day if you come in here, make you feel totally happy and you are the "little, naive" Jonouchi who could not harm anyone !! "
That hurt ... how should he know something had happened ...? The other never said anything about his working day, even when asked about it.
"But-" He was interrupted again because Seto interrupted him: "Don't say anything! It just annoys me at the moment that you are so ... so ... nice! Murders, suicides or accidents happen all the time you are the only one who is always in a good mood !! That doesn't fit at all !! "
Jou took a few steps back as his husband slowly walked towards him.
With a jerk Seto had pulled the food out of the blonde's hand and tossed it into a corner, which is why the other only backed away and looked at him fearfully."You can't understand something like that, can you ?! You can't !! You live in your little, carefree world, in which everyone is happy and never has problems !!", he almost shouted and grabbed the blonde by the collar. Jonouchi was close to tears. Why did he say that? Why ... was he yelling at him? He couldn't have known any of this ...! "Seto ... please listen to me ... I -" he stammered out, but the only thing he got now was a flat hand that "kissed" his cheek.
A long silence ...
Then Seto let go of the younger man, turned and moved to his desk, not saying a word. Meanwhile, Jonouchi slowly put his hand to his cheek, trembling and now some tears ran down his cheeks, which only kindled the heat at the beaten area. It tore him apart ... why was Seto doing this? Why ... did he hit him? Why was he treating him like that ...? Again and again such questions flew through his head and more and more he had the feeling that he was to blame for everything.Slowly he turned to the door, mumbled a quiet "I'm sorry ... I'm going ..." and left the office. When he stood in the hallway, he took a deep breath and ran. He wanted to get away ... away from Seto ... away from this place ... away from everyone ... He just wanted to be alone now, alone and ... for no one else. His heart seemed to be bleeding ... it was pounding wildly and his breathing was irregular. Seto stared out of the window, still having that look, and growled softly. When he realized this, however, he paused and pressed his hand to his mouth.
He had hit him ... he had actually hit his husband ... his beloved Jonouchi! And yelled at that too! He turned quickly, ran out of the office, and slid straight down the stairs. Hopefully he would still catch him.
...
Jonouchi kept running, crying and feeling this damn uncomfortable pressure in his chest more and more. Suddenly he heard a horn, whereupon he stopped and turned his head to one side.A loud squeak ... he hardly noticed anything ... and was lying in the middle of the street, everything was spinning ...
...
Just as Seto was running out of the company, he heard the loud screeching of car tires and a little afterwards the sound of shaped meat being pushed aside a few meters with full force. He quickly ran in that direction and when he arrived he had to suppress a scream. Jonouchi ... there he was, in the middle of the street, with a little pool of blood that was getting bigger and bigger. Frozen with shock, he stared at what was in store for him and an unpleasant tremor ran through him. What made him angry, however, was that the people standing around just looked down at him ... and did nothing! He quickly pulled out his cell phone and called the ambulance before he put it back in his coat pocket and hurried to the younger man.
"Jonouchi ..." he muttered softly, kneeling down next to the other and putting a hand on his cheek."Jonouchi ... I'm so sorry ... I ... I didn't mean that ... you didn't mean it badly ... it ... damn, I'm so sorry ..."
Jou slowly turned his head to the young company manager, looked at him with dull eyes and ... smiled despite the pain ...
The smile remained ... it was only a slight one ... but it remained ... no pain was to be seen in it. Seto was about to ask if he'd forgive him, but he didn't need to. Understanding, warmth and ... love lay in the younger man's gaze. Love he never gave up Love that never let him doubt the love of the other. Seto slowly took off his coat, carefully closed Jonouchi's eyes with one hand and then put the coat over him. It tore him apart ... he couldn't even tell him how much he loved him ...
Then the ambulance came ... but it was too late ... Jonouchi had died with one last smile on his face, which was meant for Seto ...
...
> Flashback / End <

Now they all stood in front of the grave in silence and watched how slowly the black coffin was lowered into the earth.Seto didn't cry ... the others gradually left, expressed their deep condolences to Seto and then they were gone ... left him there alone ...
And Seto still
