Title: Lock & Key
Fandom: Yuugiou
Pairing: High Priest Seth / High Priestess Isis [Logicshipping]
Theme Set: Gamma
Rating: PG-13
Warning[s]: One, I suppose it’s not a very cannon pairing. Two, I didn’t use the animé ending (because it was a total killjoy that Isis had to die), and have (tentatively) based this off the manga instead-and I use the word base in its loosest context.
#01 - Ring
When they had been teenagers, Mahaado and the rest of the boys had dared Seth to give her a ring-one that she still kept.
#02 - Hero
It may have sounded terribly uncharacteristic for someone like Isis, but Seth was and always had been her hero.
#03 - Memory
One of the fondest memories Seth had of Isis was when he had ran into her and helped her keep her balance, leaving them in an extremely compromising position.
#04 - Box
He kept a box for his most treasured items-including the Sennen Rod, a piece of his late mother’s jewelry, and a vial of jasmine that smelled just like Isis’s hair.
#05 - Run
Running had never been one of her strong suits, but when Seth returned from battle, she would always run to greet him.
#06 - Hurricane
When Seth lost his temper, it was almost as if a storm of the most violent magnitude had erupted.
#07 - Wings
Her ba Spiria had wings, but Isis was well aware who was truly her pair of wings.
#08 - Cold
His dislike for Mahaado stemmed from how cold he felt each and every time he saw Isis conversing with said Priest of the Ring.
#09 - Red
Seth knew Isis hated wearing make-up, but he had to admit that she had looked dazzling the one time that she did paint her lips red.
#10 - Drink
Unlike some other members of the Court, Seth wasn’t one to drink-a trait that Isis found highly, highly admirable.
#11 - Midnight
Perhaps it was her imagination, but Seth’s eyes seemed to flicker from dark blue to midnight black depending on his mood.
#12 - Temptation
Once the temptation to kiss Isis had become so great that Seth had been forced to glance away and fake a fit of coughs.
#13 - View
“Enjoying the view, my lady?” was what Seth had remarked when she had inadvertently happened upon him while he was drying off from a bath.
#14 - Music
Hearing Isis drop all formality and call him by his given name was like music to his ears.
#15 - Silk
Isis only wore silk for special occasions, causing Seth to fervently pray for more of these “special occasions.”
#16 - Cover
He loved the rarity of seeing her obsidian hair without the cover of her headdress.
#17 - Promise
Although Seth always pledged a safe return to their Pharaoh before going off to battle, he also made a point of glancing at Isis as if to say I promise you, too.
#18 - Dream
Seth had often had dreams in which he had told her how he truly felt, but in the end they had been just that: only dreams.
#19 - Candle
Watching Seth carefully peruse a scroll by candlelight in his chamber never failed to make Isis smile.
#20 - Talent
Isis had a talent for being calm even in the most dire of situations-a talent that Seth found he admired much more than envied.
#21 - Silence
She had learned to take Seth’s silence as a way of him telling everyone I have nothing to say at the moment, but when I do, I will surely let you all know in the cleverest of ways.
#22 - Journey
They had been on this journey together as members of the Court for years now, and Isis was still unsure of how much he cared-if he cared at all, that is.
#23 - Fire
Isis noticed that if Seth was dedicated to a cause, a brilliant fire would light his eyes.
#24 - Strength
Seth realized that although she was quiet and demure, Isis had more strength than he ever would.
#25 - Mask
She knew that Seth put up a mask for self-preservation, but why couldn’t he lower it just once?
#26 - Ice
Isis was perhaps one of the few people that could even begin to melt the ice covering his heart.
#27 - Fall
When Seth had seen Isis fall during the practice duel they had had in their respective teams, it had taken all of his self-possession just to keep his face impassive.
#28 - Forgotten
There were times when Isis couldn’t help but wonder if Seth still remembered how they had first met, or if he had simply forgotten.
#29 - Dance
Seth wasn’t one for dancing; thankfully, neither was Isis.
#30 - Body
As a teenager, Seth had once dared to think about how alluring Isis’s body would look in a transparent tunic; in the end he had mentally slapped himself for objectifying a pure girl so sinfully.
#31 - Sacred
Seth knew that temples were sacred and meant for prayer, but it was hard to focus on such when Isis was kneeling next to him.
#32 - Farewells
It was customary to bid a farewell to someone who was going out into battle, but to Isis it seemed like an excuse to say Farewell, in case I never see you again.
#33 - World
He had power, authority, all but had the world in his very hands-so why, pray tell, did he feel like he was missing something?
#34 - Formal
Seth had a knack for addressing Isis as “my lady,” both formally and sarcastically, just for kicks.
#35 - Fever
When Seth came down with a fever, it was Isis who had to nurse him back to health-and he couldn’t deny that he had enjoyed it.
#36 - Laugh
Seth’s laugh, which was low and slightly husky, always made her heart do an excited flutter, and Isis was thankful every time that she heard it.
#37 - Lies
To say that Seth’s smirk wasn’t attractive would have been a complete lie; to say that Seth wasn’t attractive would have been an even bigger lie.
#38 - Forever
Cliché as though it may have been, the sight of her smile was something he would treasure forever.
#39 - Overwhelmed
His scent of sandalwood and myrrh constantly overwhelmed Isis; her scent of jasmine and lotuses did the same to him.
#40 - Whisper
Sleep well, my lady, was what Seth would whisper to her before she entered her chamber for the night.
#41 - Wait
He did a superb job of acting casual about it, but Seth would purposely wait to be seated in front of Isis when the Court took their evening meal together.
#42 - Talk
One of their talks had ended with him telling her Just call me Seth.
#43 - Search
His search for the ultimate ba had ended with Kisara, but for some reason he didn’t feel like he had achieved everything that he had wanted to.
#44 - Hope
Hope was something that she felt shattered when Seth had mourned over Kisara’s death so deeply.
#45 - Eclipse
As he watched the moon one night, Seth came to the conclusion that while he cared for Kisara, his feelings for her couldn’t eclipse those that he held for the High Priestess of the Tauk.
#46 - Gravity
The gravity with which Seth had asked Isis, are you all right? had made her smile despite the tears in her eyes.
#47 - Highway
While Seth had known that taking the main road to one of the villages would result in him hearing some male chauvinistic remarks, he hadn’t anticipated on them revolving around Isis so indecently.
#48 - Unknown
What lay behind Seth’s dark eyes was unknown, but she was determined to find out one day.
#49 - Lock
Isis knew that Seth kept his heart under lock and key; what she didn’t know was that she had the key.
#50 - Breathe
Her breathing as she slept had been so peaceful that before realization had hit him, Seth had his lips pressed against hers in a soft kiss; of course, he didn’t say anything, because words wouldn’t have been enough.
