Case 001, a story by @uglifish (hope you like it :D )
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12531411/1/
“Kaiba is overworked, stressed and fatigued. He collapses and is rushed to the hospital. He wakes up with clinical amnesia, unable to remember the people around him. Mischievous Yami seizes the opportunity to re-introduce himself to Kaiba, as his lover. [AU, Prideshipping, smut heavy, COMPLETED] “
Can we talk about how few chapters were left to finish this story and I didnt do it yet?
However, I could not avoid making a fanart of that story, since I did for "Soleil Boulangerie" and "I am just a poor and starving artist", this fic deserved a drawing.
The blue is the tension of the night, I love to use this color and associate the night with the prideshipping.
It is well known, for those who read the story, there’s a lot of lemon, and almost always Kaiba and Atem end up in bed, or in the kitchen ... or in the garden ... or somewhere in the mansion . But they can not avoid having sex, while Kaiba is hopelessly attracted to Atem, who has a conflict with himself for believing that he is taking advantage of Seto, who has no memories. (or at least he thinks so)
The (not-so-good) picture that Atem has on his back, is the “real” Seto... Seto Kaiba..
Atem is afraid that he(Real Seto Kaiba) will wake up, and discover everything he was doing with him, and end up hating him.
When Atem wants his love to be returned.

Sighing tightly, Kaiba slid his phone out and stared at the darkened screen with his jaw clenched in frustration. He had decided to ignore it for the rest of the day, hoping the Pharaoh would reach out to him first, but to his immense irritation, his phone had remained silent.
Gritting his teeth, he leaned back into his seat and contemplated his next actions. He could continue ignoring the Pharaoh to show him he meant business, or he could pass over the rejection like nothing was wrong.
Deciding to go with option one, Kaiba clicked his phone off and mentally prepared himself. This could end badly.
Yami was lounging on the couch in front of the TV, watching Yugi and Joey play a round of Duel Monsters, feeling bored and detached. The TV was on at a low volume, droning on in the background, while Joey's laughter occasionally pierced the air.
The vibrator had been humming inside of him constantly, so much that the sensation had become dulled.
He would shift his legs, feel the bullet move inside him, and nothing else. Yami wasn't sure if he should even feel worried. Kaiba had probably forgotten about it due to his workload.
Yami stared at his phone which had gone unusually quiet and he sighed, clicking it on and off again, just aimlessly reading the time across the screen. He tapped his phone on again and decided to read the online comments out of sheer curiosity as Kaiba's face flashed across his memory.
Shaking his head, Yami began reading, trying to ignore Yugi and Joey's laughter ringing in his ears.
" At:Atem is not a frequent user. Gone silent after a day of activity."
" Hello! HI! More photos of you and At: Kaiba_Seto please!"
" Pic with At:Mokuba_kun or GTFO. At:Atem handsome but fake."
Responses beneath that comment were all requesting more proof of authenticity:
" Pic with Yugi please or At:Atem is just good at using photoshop."
" Hold up 3 fingers while smiling with At:Kaiba_Seto !"
Yami clicked the phone off, feeling indifferent. Kaiba was right. It didn't matter what these people were saying online. What mattered was what was actually happening, and right now, that was nothing.
Did I make him angry? Yami thought miserably, scrolling through Kaiba's messages and rereading them.
The conversation had ended at "no".
Yami sighed tightly and composed an apology.
" If I made you angry, I am sorry. I just don't think that it will be a good idea...Seto."
He sent it halfheartedly, not expecting a reply, but to his immense relief, his phone buzzed with Kaiba's response:
" My name belongs at the beginning of the sentence. Don't add it at the end like an afterthought."
Yami felt his heart skip a beat as he read Kaiba's words, feeling his chest tighten uncomfortably.
" I will keep that in mind. I take it you are angry, but please understand-"
A second message bubbled up on the screen mid-text:
"I won't take no for an answer. What can I do to convince you further?"
Yami blinked rapidly, feeling his face heating up terribly.

Yami's phone buzzed again, jolting him out of his thoughts.
"In all honesty, I was surprised to see Wheeler's sister." Kaiba had written.
Yami blinked and blinked, his heart skipping a solid beat.
Kaiba had addressed Joey by his last name.
Deciding to ignore it superfluously, Yami responded with, "I was surprised too. I was only expecting Anzu."
And he sent it, watching Kaiba's response bubble up on the screen seconds later.
"They were secretly texting each other under the table. Care to know they were talking about?"
"Tell me." Yami wrote, quickly hitting send, slowly letting out the breath he had been holding.
How did Kaiba know that they were texting each other under the table? Yami wondered, remembering he had seen Yugi respond to several texts during the meal. Did Yugi participate in the secretive texting too?!
His phone buzzed with Kaiba's reply.
" They said we looked like we were in love."
Yami felt his head spin and he pressed his head down on his pillow for a moment as he waited for the dizzy spell to pass. It was that obvious?
But, were they in love, though, really?
How much of the real Kaiba loved him?
Wasn't this the Kaiba without his memories speaking right now?
But more importantly, why was Kaiba telling him this? Was he upset about it or was he looking for a reaction?
Kaiba held his breath, tucking the pillow underneath his chin as he stared at his phone, waiting for Yami to respond. Mokuba had angrily shown him the texts on their ride home and he had been debating all night if he ought to tell Yami.
On one hand, it would help, letting Yami know that his friends knew.
On the other hand, he wasn't sure how Yami would react.
And waiting for Yami's reaction was painful.
Not being able to see his face was excruciating.
"I see." Came Yami's reply, and Kaiba almost slapped himself in frustration. He needed a little bit more than that. Was the Pharaoh angry about this news? Or upset?
"Yeah, I want to know how you feel about it."
Kaiba grit his teeth and sent the text, thinking he would appreciate the truth, wondering if that was too much to ask.
Yami read Kaiba's response twice, thinking Kaiba sounded demanding as usual, and he smiled a little in spite of himself as he composed his reply carefully.
" I think it's fine. As long as it's not any inconvenience to you."
Kaiba blinked, feeling his ears ring unpleasantly at Yami's response. "…As long as it's not any inconvenience…."?!
What the hell was this? A customer service call response? Why did Yami suddenly sound so formal and scripted?
They were talking about their relationship for fuck's sake.
"Its…fucking…not." Kaiba wrote, unaware that he was speaking the text out loud in his frustration as he typed it out and sent it.
A response came immediately afterwards, almost as if Yami didn't take the time to think about it.
"Good, I'm glad." He had written.
Kaiba glared at his phone, his chest so tight it felt like it was about to explode.
What the fuck was this? Empty words!
Empty, scripted, formal exchanges.
Fuck this, Kaiba thought angrily, quickly typing out, "Goodnight."
And he clicked his phone off, feeling conflicted.

the Kaiba struggle is real.
Happy birthday to one of my most beloved characters of all time!!!
I gotta tell you, whoever has been leaving reviews in Spanish underneath my fics has made my heart warm!
It touches me SO MUCH that they took the time to read the fic in English, and then comment with ALL THEIR HEART in their native language!!
And I know google translate isn’t the most accurate thing in the world, but AHH I appreciate it so much!!!!! Makes me wish I was fluent in Spanish so I could reply back!
