A/N: Omg, I just had to write this. Try not to throw things at me. Pweeese!
What in the seven hells was the Motous’ problem?
Usually, teenage boys were supposed to distinguish their rooms from everyone else’s, but not Yugi apparently. Every door was identically painted white with a little golden Sennen Eye symbol. That created problems for Seto Kaiba, especially since the man was in a hurry to get to meeting in exactly twenty minutes after picking up Mokuba after his weekend sleepover at Yugi’s house. But, the kid was so busy having fun with his ‘friends’ that he had forgotten his clothes in what he claimed was ‘Yugi’s room, upstairs on the right’.
Now, this little flat above the game shop could easily fit into Seto’s bathroom, but it had more doors and rooms in it than the entire first floor of his mansion. At first he was shocked, but then it was probably Yami who configured the little house into the size of a manor. After all, in this world, a little shadow magic went a long way.
Alright, back to Kaiba Seto’s problem. So, Mokuba had forgotten his clothes in ‘Yugi’s room, upstairs on the right’ and since Yugi was nowhere to be found all of a sudden, Seto was forced to humble himself and ask directions politely from the small duelist’s grandfather, who was (between icy glares) about as helpful as a tea kettle. Not that Seto cared; he could find the little idiot’s room anytime he wanted.
Maybe not.
So far the rooms upstairs on the right had lead to a hat closet with way more hats than a teenager and a senior citizen should own, a very dusty cupboard that housed cleaning supplies with enough ammonia to kill a stadium of people and a bondage closet, which on further inspection was actually a storage area for Yugi’s extra belts and buckles.
Seto moved on to the next door. A linen closet. He was getting agitated.
He had a meeting, a company to run, and a little brother to disinfect after having spent an entire weekend with the Motous and the rest of the geek squad. The next door he came to would be history, unless it was the right one.
“What!”
Seto stopped at the familiar tone. It was his rival through the ages, Yami.
“I know, I know.” Yugi’s chirpy voice sounded especially downcast. “Even I don’t know why it has to be him of all people.”
Seto blinked. What the hell?
Yami’s voice could be heard sputtering incoherently for a moment. “B..bu..but he’s a Kaiba!” The name was spat like something bitter.
At this, Seto frowned. He moved closer to the door. Not that he was eavesdropping, he was gathering information.
“So what?” Yugi said, sounding miffed. “He isn’t capable of having feelings?”
There was a pause. “I didn’t say that, aibou.” Yami was clearly sheepish.
Seto’s eyebrow shot up. Well, well, well, high praise coming from the two people who were supposed to be his sworn enemies. The statement perked his interest high enough that he temporarily forgot his important meeting, which he had eighteen minutes to get to by the way.
A soft voice spoke up in a feathery tone, obviously Ryou’s. “Yami, please calm down. Yugi, please go on.”
Seto could almost see Yugi’s smirk behind the closed white door.
“That’s it.” The Pharaoh’s hikari said. “I just happen to…like Kaiba…more than as a friend, you know.”
Whaaat! Seto blinked rapidly several times. He did it once again. Again. Damn…
“…you know, he’s just so cute with the dark hair and the eyes…” and Yugi trailed off.
“Well, have you told him yet?” asked Ryou.
“No,” Yugi mumbled. Seto had to press closer to the door to hear the rest (still not eavesdropping). “I was gonna tell him this morning, but his brother was with him all the time.”
There came a snort. “Well, I’m still displeased that you would actually consider that Kaiba as a lover. And no, I am NOT the only one who has a problem with him! Jounouchi, isn’t he a devil’s spawn?” Yami asked sharply. Jounouchi must be wilting under his gaze.
As soon as he got his BP down to normal, Seto rolled his eyes. Right, Yugi’s lover. As if that wasn’t the most idiotic thing he’d ever heard. He pressed his ear against the door as soon as he heard Jounouchi mumble.
“Eh, he’s not that bad, Yami.” The blonde said. “I think it’s just stress that makes him act that way. KaibaCorp looks like it could do that to ya, and not to mention his mental oddity of a brother.”
“Jou!” Yami snapped. Then he added in a calmer voice. “Ok, what about the last time we dueled?”
Seto thought back. Well, besides the fact that he had lost the duel, they had dueled in the harbor starting with 4000 LP, their monsters were their standard trademarks, the Black Mgician and Blue Eyes. Nothing too special…
“…duels almost as well as you do, Yami.”
Almost? Almost! Seto ground his teeth. Almost as in Seto was a ten times better duelist than either of those two star haired stooges.
“Still, we couldn’t have beaten him so narrowly.”
“Why not?”
“Because we…couldn’t! You know he cheated.”
“He did not!” Yugi shrieked. “He’s still learning! I think he’s finally understanding the Heart of the Cards. Hopefully, he’ll teach his brother.”
Seto slowly unclenched his fist. Well, it wouldn’t do to cause property damage, now would it? Especially without hearing the whole story.
Yugi spoke again. “Look, I really wanna tell my Kaiba how I feel…and I just want everyone’s opinion on what to do.”
His Kaiba? Had Motou set the wedding date already?
There was a moment of silence. Jounouchi broke it as was his habit. “Aahh, Yug, you know I won’t mind. What you really have to think about is what Mokuba would say.”
Really? Jounouchi wouldn’t mind? Seto had never been so confused in his life. Suddenly, his enemies were his allies and those he respected were calling him a devil’s spawn?
“Actually, I’d worry about what Seto Kaiba would say.” Yami snorted.
Yugi let out a small eeek. “Don’t say that, Yami!” His voice was an octave higher than normal.
Yet Yami insisted. “Seto Kaiba.”
Yugi eeeked again.
“Seto Kaiba.”
“Yamiiii!”
“SetoKaibaSetoKaibaSetoKaibaSetoKaiba!”
“Stoooop! Or you don’t get another venti Mocha Frappauchino in your life!”
Oh shoot me! Seto sniffed disdainfully. Stupid immature geeks. Immediately, a plan began to formulate in his mind. Oh how should he reject Yugi Motou when that midget finally came to confess his little feelings? Let me count the ways.
“Fine, fine, aibou.” There was a tremor in Yami’s voice. Apparently, venti Mocha Frappauchinos were something he appreciated. “Ok, even if I am somewhat opposed to you expressing affections for Kaiba, I will support you on this.”
Seto could hear a small applause.
“So what’s the plan?” Jounouchi asked. “You gotta catch him away from the brother.”
“Today evening.” Yugi said, but his voice cracked slightly. “I’ll ask him to meet me at the park.”
Seto stared at the door. The nerve of Yugi! Midget seemed sooooo damn sure that he would have time to answer some stupid park invite in between running KaibaCorp.! An evil smirk found its way to his lips. Oh well. Time to brush up on the rejection tactics. Maybe he should make Yugi cry…or make him feel worthless, or maybe get him to commit suicide because no one in the world would care to love him.
“Alright, settled then?” asked Ryou.
“Yeahh…no.” Yugi groaned along with Yami. “I’ll do it after school tomorrow.”
“Aibou, why not get it over with?”
Yugi whimpered.
Yami sighed. “Just go up to him and say, I love you. What’s the worse that could happen?”
Yugi snorted. “His big brother finds out and crushes me with the entire weight of KaibaCorp?”
Seto froze. What? He didn’t have a big brother…unless…NO! Nononononono! No! He must have misheard.
“You heard me, Yami.” Yugi repeated. “I’m actually scared of his big brother.”
It was all Seto could do to keep his jaw from unhinging. Well, that didn’t technically count as getting shot down…it was more like…Oh god… Seto sprinted down the stairs, shaking his head. He had a meeting to attend in twelve minutes. Mokuba could get new clothes.
