A/N: First off, I just want to give people fair warning- Kaiba is very much out of character. Don't say I didn't warn you. I just wrote this for fun, really.

"What do you mean 'do it again'?"

Seto Kaiba didn't look up from his computer. He merely scoffed.

"I mean do it again, Alicia. It's a fairly straightforward request."

The ebony haired secretary simply gawked. She couldn't believe this- she should have listened to her mother. Eight hours of hard work and effort, and she was simply told to 'do it again'. Regaining the bare minimum of her composure, she grit her teeth.

"What's wrong with it?" she growled.

He glanced up at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Do you really need to ask me that?" he asked, bored.
"Yes, I do," she snapped. "What the hell is wrong with it? I did everything according to YOUR standards. Even that is only two days-"
"And that is what's wrong with it."

Blue eyes met light brown as Ali's enraged expression turned into one of confusion. There was a silence that neither of them broke until her face twisted into a scowl.

"You want me to make it shorter?" she seethed.
"I never said that," he answered coldly. "I'm just surprised you don't want to stay longer."

Ali was taken aback.

"...What?"
"Logically, I'd imagine you'd want to monopolize me for at least a week."

Now she was really confused.

"Sir, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Kaiba sighed and got up from his desk.

"Alicia, we are both selfish people. In fact, you've brought that up more than once."
"That still doesn't explain-"
"Your selflessness in this matter is puzzling me," he stated. "It's not like you."

Ali's frown made a reappearance and she crossed her arms.

"Well excuse me for being nice," she snapped icily, "I figured the whole thing was just a bother to you anyways."

A hint of amusement crossed Kaiba's face and a small smirk formed on his lips. This only seemed to frustrate her all the more.

"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. You just seem to be taking the matter all too seriously."
"It's our goddamn wedding! Of course I'm taking it seriously!"

This earned a quiet chuckle from Kaiba, who sat back down. She huffed and moved her hands to her hips.

"So what exactly do you propose I do?" she asked.
"Merely to compromise on your generosity."

Her expression turned into one of incredulity.

"You... you called me in here just to tell me to make the trip longer?"
"Now you're catching on," he answered, highly amused.
"And I have to redo the entire thing just because of it?"

A massive, uncharacteristic grin formed on his lips and it hit her. She frowned, deeper than before, and growled.

"I hate you."

Kaiba shrugged.

"You just make it too easy," he teased.
"I really, really hate you," she hissed before turning on her heel and stalking out of his office.

And yet she was marrying him anyways.
