Chapter 15
Seto POV

When I open my eyes I'm warm and safe. Wrapped up in a large wool blanket In a quiet room. I almost don't wanna move, but I need to know where I am.

Carefully I get up from the bed; I'm only in pajama pants and no shirt. But I have white bandages all over me. Right. The car accident. Rob had flipped the car on us to get rid of Jordan. I could remember now.

But where had I ended up? This must be Deadlox's home right? With my family? No way in hell would anyone else treat me so kindly. I scrambled to the door and peek it open slightly pressing my ear to the crack. I strain to listen, someone's talking in another room. Fuck I can't hear them.

I edge out the door and towards the sound of voices. The lights on in that room. I move closer until I'm peering my head around the corner to see into the room. Right away the light is blinding and I have to squint to try and see anything. Everyone goes quiet.

"Seto?" I hear someone get up, I have to blink a few times until they come into view blocking the light. I feel my breath leave me and I step closer holding out my arms like a child.

It's Brice, and he wastes no time wrapping his arms around me tightly. I feel a dull pain in my back but I just throw my arms around him and hug him tightly.

"Gods I missed you so much, Seto. I wish I had never lost you." He mumbles pressing his face into my hair, I hardly notice as I just clutch onto him. I feel safe in his arms, it's one of the few places I feel safe.

He pulls away but keeps his arms around me, I can't help but want to look up into those beautiful blue eyes. But I'm not suppose to look people in the eyes right? No no this is Brice it's okay.

Carefully I lift my head and look at those beautiful eyes, and I freeze. He lets go of me with one hand and raised it slowly. He doesn't say anything, he's gonna hit me isn't he? I shouldn't of...

Slowly his hand brushes the hair from in front of my eye and he leans down to kiss my forehead. I feel relaxed.

"Hey Seto." Ty says softly coming up on my other side, "Glad to see you awake you were in and out for a bit. Do you wanna sit down?" I nodded numbly and he put a hand on my shoulder leading me out into the kitchen/dining room.

It occurred to me that this was Ty and I's old home. We lived here for a while when Ghost was training us. This was our own piece of heaven, it had everything and anything we wanted and needed. We hadn't been here in years.

"It's good to see you." Ty says helping me sit down. Brice pulls a chair over to sit next to me and Ty leans against the counter. "We've been searching for you for a while now. You are entirely an idiot for doing what you did!" I flinched back.

"Ty calm down." Brice insisted.

"I will not calm down! Seto Harvard Solace if you ever think of faking your own death again you'd better hide fucking well because I will hunt your ass down and kill you." I looked down and opened my mouth to speak but Ty just threw his arms around me and hugged me tight.

"I missed you big brother." He mumbled pressing his face into my shoulder. I lean my head against his shoulder and relax.

"I-I'm sorry." I croak my voice scratchy, "I just...I just thought..-"

"Shh you don't have to explain yourself now." Ty pulled away and smiled, "You need to recover first it's obvious things weren't going very well for you. So you just relax and recover for now and don't worry about a thing okay?"
