A/N: This is the first Kaiba Brothers story I've written in some time. Enjoy, everyone.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters, Kazuki Takahashi does.

Mokuba Kaiba could feel his older brother's arm wrap slowly and gently around him. The young boy sighed quietly. Seto had disappeared the day before, unable to shake this sense of vulnerability that his loss to Yugi Muto had left him with.
"Seto..."
"It's alright, Mokie," the teen replied softly.
Mokuba gasped. Seto hadn't called him 'Mokie' since they left the orphanage.
He felt a hand run through his mane of black hair and smiled.
The two brothers lay down and drifted off, covered by the blankets and wrapped in one another's arms for the first time in what felt like quite a while.
...
Mokuba's fingers fluttered out and he ran his hand along the mattress, seeking out his brother's arm or hand, but only finding the mattress alone.
The small boy looked around but found that he was alone in the room, wrapped in his blankets.
'Maybe Seto snuck into his room just in case he had some work to finish before it gets too late,' he said to himself.
Wanting to at least bid his brother goodnight, Mokuba crept quietly to Seto's room.
The bed was empty. There was no sign that anyone had entered since Seto's departure.
Suddenly, the realization sank in...
...
Mokuba sighed, fighting the urge to cry as he trudged miserably back to his room. Seto had not been there at all. It had all been either a dream or an illusion, all brought on by the sheer loneliness little Mokuba now felt in his brother's absence.
"Please come back soon, Seto," he whispered as he crawled into bed. "I miss you so much."
