The CEO, The Priest and The Helpless Puppy

A Date With Seth

The sun rose high in the sky as the people of Egypt all awoke to their new day. The sound of people beginning to open their small shops around the marketplace could be heard all the way to the palace, as the slaves and guards all got up quickly and prepared for the day for the Pharaoh, Priests, and Priestess. But not everyone was up and awake this morning, one priest just sighed and stayed in bed, moping around and wallowing in self-pity as he cursed the gods for allowing the sun to rise so early, for he had not had a wink of sleep the night before.

'That kiss.' The brunet thought as he stared up into the golden ceiling of his room. 'Why did he give him a kiss? Was Seto really Joey's lover? Was he really into Seto? Or was the other just trying to take Joey away from me?' So many questions flew into Seth's head, causing him to get a migraine. The priest sighed and raised a hand, running his fingers through his hair. It was morning, but the priest was still lying down on his bed, he just did not have the energy in him to get up.

He had sent the slaves away that had tried to wake him and had made sure that his door was locked so that he could mope in his self-pity in peace. Lying on his soft bed wearing nothing to cover his tan and lean body but the very silk, linen sheets that covered his waist, Seth thought about everything.

He did not feel like getting up today at all, after what had happened the night before involving his blond beloved and that bulbous pig Seto. Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking at his doors echoed around the room, proving to the brunet just how lonely he truly was. Sighing, Seth groaned and asked them to leave, he wanted to be alone at the moment to just be with his thoughts, and maybe he could pray and speak with the gods, asking them why it was that they were messing with his heart.

"If you are going to be in bed all day sulking, then I suggest you allow me to enter, cousin. I want to know what is going on in your mind." A familiar voice spoke through his doors. Seth sighed and used whatever was left of his energy to simply walk over to his door, unlocking it and waddling back to slump down face first on his sheets. Once the doors were unlocked, Atemu poked his head in and sighed, he had no idea that his poor cousin was this heartbroken; it was a miracle that Seth could even be heartbroken in his opinion.

The pharaoh walked in slowly and closed the doors behind him gently, looking around the room before making his way towards Seth's bed, where the brunet groaned in what seemed to be emotional pain, wearing nothing but the linen sheets that only seemed to cover his arse.

"Seth, what is wrong? You are not usually like this." The shorter male began. Seth let out a sigh and turned his head so that the pharaoh could hear him speak.

"Nothing, I just do not wish to be bothered today. Please my Pharaoh, my dear cousin, just leave me be." The priest then buried his face in his pillows and sighed once again. Atemu watched his cousin mope, it was odd, and all his life he had grown up with the brunet, who was cold, heartless and competitive. Seth had never in his lifetime shown anyone any emotion other than those of anger, irritation, displeasure, and sadism.

Seeing the older male in this state was just, awkward.

The Pharaoh ran a hand through his star-shaped hair, wondering what he should say as he walked around his cousin's bed, grabbing a nearby chair so that he may sit on it. As he took his seat, he almost missed the muffled sound of Seth's gruff and tired voice asking him for his reason being there.

Atemu cracked a small smile and chuckled.

"Well, as you know Seth, Joey has been asking around for you, he seems to miss your usual presence at his door once he wakes in the morning." The Pharaoh briefly explained. Seth could not help but scoff at his cousin's explanation. As if the blond would want to see him, it was obvious he wanted Seto, his Lover.
