The Good Life (Collab)

Chapter 10

A/N: Hey ya'll! It's Akiko-chan and Capricorn here with the last chappie for the Good Life. We're both sad it has to end, but at least we had fun working on it. We have progressed well with Run Away and we'll also be starting something else as well. So, new stuff is on the way for ya'lls reading pleasure. We hope ya'll enjoy the chappie. Please R&R!

The next weekend, Seto and Ryou waited for when their guests would arrive. Ryou, of course, is nervous about it. He hoped Akefia and Bakura would like Seto. He liked his brother's partners of course since he's run into them once or twice sometimes. He's at least familiar with them.

Seto looked at Ryou. "What's wrong?"

"Just nervous," admitted the brit.

"They will love me. There is nothing not love. I am loyal, free from disease, will take excellent care of you, have firm financial footing, and an impeccable credit score." Seto stated matter of factly.

Ryou giggled, "I know. It's just me being me I suppose."

Seto kissed him gently. "Calm, Ryou...calm."

Ryou pouted, hands on his hips, "I am calm, dragon."

Seto raised an eyebrow as there was a knock on the door. The butler led Akefia in, dressed in black dress pants, a blood red silk shirt, holding hands with Atem.

"Yay, 'Kefia," Ryou glomped his older brother, clearly on mood swings from his sudden change from being pouty to a burst of energy.

Akefia chuckled, holding Ryou tightly. "Little brother."

"Hehe, oh over there is my lover Seto," Ryou introduced after letting him go.

Akefia walked over, face stoic. "Akefia." He held out his hand to shake with Seto.

"Hi," greeted Atem, shaking Seto's hand as well as Ryou's. "I'm Akefia's lover."

"I know," Ryou smiled gently.

"Nice to meet you both." Seto stated.

"Indeed," agreed Atem.

Ryou frowned, "I hope Bakura and Marik managed to find a babysitter."

A little bit later, Marik and Bakura arrived. They managed to have Ishizu look after their kids while at Seto's mansion.

"Yay, Fluffy has come," giggled Ryou, glomping his other brother when he walked in the door.

Bakura gave a tight squeeze to his younger brother. "You're looking healthy." Bakura smiled.

Ryou pouted, "Why wouldn't I? Oh, this is my lover over there, Seto."

Bakura nodded grumpily. "You do this to him?" Bakura asked gruffly. Seto nodded. Bakura surprised everyone by quickly hugging Seto and letting go. Seto tensed, but nodded after it was determined it was a hug.

"Are you ok?" Marik asked his lover, surprised by Bakura's move.

Ryou frowned, unsure of what to make of it either.

Bakura grumbled, frowning at Marik. "Uh, I gotta fuckin go. C'mon." He grabbed Marik, heading out. Seto looked confused.

"Bakura, wait," called out Ryou, wanting him to know the news before he left. "I'm pregnant."

Bakura nodded, "congratulations." He mumbled, voice cracking.

Ryou went over to him, hugging him, "Will you be ok? I know you're sorry for what happened. I am too."

Bakura froze. Akefia nodded at Atem. Seto frowned. "Atem, Marik, please, let's leave them alone." Seto motioned to the dining room.

"Um, ok," nodded Marik, shooting Bakura a look to say don't mess things up before leaving with Seto and Atem to a separate room.
