-Seto-

"Seto…"

Even as I feel a twinge of annoyance at his ability to surpass even the newest security system which I had installed just today, I wince at the sound of his voice in a purr behind me.

/"Set…Working as always I see…"/

"Your new system is useless. Though it does make me wonder…Do you not want to see me?" I do not turn in my chair. I continue typing away, hoping the monotonous action will drown out these so-called memories. They do not exist. "Seto, are you listening to me?"

The first time he called my by my name, I told him he had no right. He just laughed in my face, of course, and made sure to call me by name as much as he could for the following hour.

"Yes, I am listening, Bakura." I respond, mostly out of habit, and also because I know he'll turn the laptop off to get my attention. He's done it before.

He makes a satisfied noise, and I can hear him making himself comfortable on the armchair he put in here. There's no other explanation for it, because one night, it wasn't there, but the next morning, it was. He said that he doesn't mind watching me work, so long as he can sit comfortably, and isn't ignored. Hence the chair. Though, I'm still wondering where he found it, since I have no chairs of its like in my mansion.

He's always liked watching me work…

I blink at the sudden thought. An image of Bakura, only a more tan Bakura, with a scar over his right eye, lounging on a couch, wearing white shorts and watching me scribble away at something rises in my mind. My fingers stop their mad dancing over the keys of the laptop as I close my eyes, trying to force the image away. It always gets like this when he comes. I can't stop thinking of these things that have never happened, and I have weird thoughts that I cannot explain.

I open my eyes and save the document before shutting the computer down. I have never been able to concentrate on work with him so near me.

Hold him…

I stand, running a hand through my hair. These thoughts feel like someone else's, but I know they're mine. Yet no matter what Yugi and his friends say, I am not the reincarnation of some Egyptian Priest.

"Are you done for the night?" Bakura's voice is a purr again and, though I never heard him move, his arms wrap around my waist, pulling me against his chest.

Strangely enough, this Dark Bakura, as Yugi and the others call him, has never questioned me on the past. Perhaps he knows that I do have strange dreams about Egypt, or maybe he doesn't care. I have no doubt that this man is a spirit, as he claims to be. The things he does have ruined all chance of me denying his status as such.

I turn, my arms coming up to wrap around him. I brush a lock of hair from his crimson eyes, making him smirk. As my fingers trail down his face lightly, he nips at them, making sure to hold one of them between his lips. He slowly drags his tongue over my finger, causing me to shiver slightly.

He is amazing with his tongue…

I close my mind to everything except for the feeling of Bakura's tongue against my finger, forcing the thoughts to fade. I want to enjoy him and only him.

A/N: Well, there's our first chapter! I've noticed something, too. I have an obsession with red-eyed men. Vincent Valentine from FFVII, Albel Nox from Star Ocean Till The End of Time, Bakura…And I'm sure the list doesn't end there. Anyway, preview:

-Bakura-

Ah, he's figured out I'm here.

R&R, please!
