I pace the length of our room, occasionally throwing side glances at the band and at Seto. Enough is enough. I toss my head back and shake my shoulders, loosening my tense muscles. Yugi is sitting on the table behind me while everyone else is positioned in chairs in front of me.

"What did you want to talk to us about?" Ryou asks, his soft English accent slightly soothing my frazzled nerves.

I stop pacing, "Look everyone," I close my eyes, trying to think of the best way to word this without sounding like a complete unappreciative nitwit. Fuck it. I'm just going to jump on into this. "I appreciate everything you have all done for me while I was experiencing the withdrawal symptoms. I appreciate your dedication to my health and my safety."

"But," Malik urges, knowing the direction I'm headed with this conversation.

"But I don't need to be looked after anymore. This entire deal with barging into our room without knocking and at random hours is not acceptable. I expect to be given the same amount of privacy and respect that I give each of you," I nod towards them.

"What if there are no good pornos on?" Marik smirks at me. I eye him wearily. I am not going to dignify that comment with a response. I'm sure someday it will be very funny. Right now I'm too pissed to think anything is funny. The invasion of privacy will end. Now. Marik coughs, the smile melting off of his face.

"You haven't relapsed in a while," Seto tilts his head, his cerulean eyes staring off into the distance. "I think we can provide you with the privacy you desire." The grin that crosses my face goes from one ear to the other. "There is a catch," Seto's head angles upwards. Oh great. I knew this would too goo0d to be true.

"What's the catch?" my shoulders slump.

"If you relapse, we go back to watching you 24/7," he states matter-of-factly. I don't think I have much choice right now. And really... that isn't that bad of a catch. For once in Seto's life, he has come up with a logical and fair compromise.
