Seto's hand shook as he held the small vial of rosy liquid. He gazed down at the pair of tea cups sitting on the counter. He bit his lip as he uncorked the glass vial, leaning it over one of the cups' edge.

He knew this wasn't a good idea.

He knew he shouldn't do it.

He knew he shouldn't play with emotions.

But, he was being just a little selfish. He wanted Brice for himself but he didn't wasn't their friendship to end if Brice didn't like him back.

Something touched his shoulder and he jumped, the small vial slipping out of his fingers. He turned around, coming face to face with Brice.

"What were you doing?" the blond asked, rising an eyebrow at the short Sorcerer.

"N-n-n-nothing!" Seto stuttered out.

Bruce leaned down and picked up the small glass container from the ground. He looked it over, reading the label out loud.

"Love potion?" he asked with a still risen brown.

Seto looked away frantically. He knew he shouldn't've labeled the potions!

"S-s-sorry!" he mumbled, biting his lip harshly.

Brice set the vial onto the counter and looked down at the petite Sorcerer.

"Silly Seto," he said. "You don't have to use a potion for me to love you!"

The short brunet blinked, confused.

"What…?" he breathed out softly, gazing up at the blond.

"I said I already love you, Seto," Brice chuckled, leaning down to be at the same height as Seto.

"Are you serious?" Seto asked gently, his heart beating erratically.

"Of course I'm serious," Brice said, leaning forward so their lips were only inches apart. He looked at the brunet for approval.

Seto licked his lips, pressing forward and closing the small distance fully.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but those were the best seconds of Seto's life.

He looked up at Brice who was smiling down at him gently.

"How about I make us some normal tea?" the blond asked teasingly, dunking the previous cups into the drain.

Seto's cheeks colored and he nodded frantically, throwing the vial into the trash.
