Chapter 1: In which Kaiba is meaner than usual
The windows were piled up against with sheer white. Molten rage was coursing through Seto Kaiba's veins, but he did well to suppress it. Even if he was in a situation he'd much rather be out of, he was a guest.
Mokuba was sitting by the window, stupidly staring at the wall of white, trying to will it away. Yugi was also very disgruntled. The petite gamer had his Game Boy Advance and was doing well to ignore everyone and everything at this early hour.
"…Yawn," Kaiba voiced. The bored CEO scratched his arm incompetently before looking up to conquer a pair of darling amethyst eyes with a fierce glare. He growled, "Why am I still here?"
"It's not my fault you got caught at my house in a blizzard, Kaibakun," Yugi said tartly, emerging from his little universe of fairies and dragons just to say so. He turned back to his game, Spyro: Season of Ice.
"I had to sleep on the floor!" Kaiba shouted in vociferation. Mokuba turned away from the window stared at his older brother, puzzled.
"Nii-sama, stop it. You're acting even more mean than usual," the eleven-year-old said in a cute, childish, moving to sit next to Yugi. "It's not Yugi's fault he only had one extra futon."
"Yes, that's right. Listen to your younger brother Kaibakun, he's a lot nicer than you." Yugi's purple eyes glared at Kaiba. Mokuba could feel himself staring. Yugi's glare was a lot different than any others he had seen. It was like a soft glare.
Kaiba caught his brother staring. "What are you doing?" he huffed.
Mokuba replied honestly, "Staring at Yugi."
"Why are you staring at me?" Yugi wanted to know. Mokuba poked him hard in the ribs. "Ow."
"Because you're weird," Mokuba lied. "And flimsy. Like a girl."
"Gee, thanks," Yugi said. He blew bubbles in his chocolate milk torpidly, trying to think of his happy place.
It was six in the morning. Yugi was bored, and both the Kaiba brothers were acting strange. Yugi himself was probably acting a little more cranky than per usual, but that was simply because he was tired. However, there was no excuse for the others. Kaiba had slept well, despite his protests against sleeping on the floor, and his younger brother had instantly transported to la-la land the second his head hit the pillow. Like an intoxicated cherub, Yugi mused randomly. Now there was a funny thought. Yugi smiled to himself before looking up.
"You look like a saturnine dragon," Yugi told Kaiba. "Appropriate, for you. So… Do you have any yen to duel, Kaibakun?"
"What does money have to do with it?" Mokuba asked. "Are you two gambling?"
"The other type of yen, Mokuba," Kaiba informed him. Mokuba blanked out.
"Oh," he said, having no idea what the other meaning of yen was. "Sure."
"So are we going to duel or what?" Yugi demanded. Kaiba blinked in modest surprise.
Kaiba asked incredulously, "Here?"
"Yup." Yugi started to clear the table away. "We don't have an arena in our house, obviously, so we can play Duel Monsters the old-fashioned way right here! So let's duel already! Okay?"
"Do I have a choice?" Kaiba snorted.
"Nope!" Yugi chirped. Kaiba considered this for a second. Mokuba could've sworn he saw his big brother's eyes soften as he realized that Yami Yugi would have to come out of the puzzle for Yugi to duel. Kaiba sat down in the rather uncomfortable chair and slowly took out his deck. Mokuba waited, his face forlorn.
It happened so fast, it was impossible for anyone to watch. One second it was Yugi, the next instant it was Yami. Inexplicable metamorphosis.
Mokuba slumped. No wonder his nii-sama had wanted to duel, he was trying to discourage his crush on Yugi… He wandered out of the room as Yami and Kaiba drew their cards and fell asleep on the futon.
It was an hour later when Yugi entered the room, searching for his friend. "Mokubakun?" he called out softly.
The silver-haired youth opened his eyes. "Yeah… Yugi?"
Yugi beamed. "Hey! We're done dueling now so you can come back in if you want. I found some sponge cake from last week, if you want some of that. Kaibakun's having some."
Mokuba cracked his eye's open a smidgeon farther. Cake?
"Cake?" he repeated.
"Mm-hm." Yugi nodded politely. "Of course you could always just stay here and sleep if you want; Gomen kudasai."
Mokuba pushed himself up. "No that's alright. I'll get up…"
Yugi nodded and smiled, turning around and walking back into the kitchen. All he had really wanted was to be alone this weekend, and maybe watch the video that Joey had lent him. But no, he had to be stuck in-between the two Kaiba brothers. That was just great…
