Disclaimer: Yu-gi-oh is not mine, none of these characters are mine, if they were…they'd have much more back story damnit. This story is in a different universe than my previous Pegasus/Kaiba stuff, obviously. Some scenes are going to be similar, however, because I was rewriting my other story and I completely forgot about this one.

Everyone always said Mondays were the worst days of the week. Nobody wants to come back to work after a weekend of slacking off. Those are the kinds of people Seto Kaiba fires on Tuesdays. Kaiba walked into his office Monday morning to find a suspicious box on his desk. Security was called to investigate and determined that the package was not a bomb. The box was opened to reveal a small hand-crafted figurine. He made a note to fire the few men who had derisively asked if he never got a present before. The figure was a six-inch high white velvet horse with silver silk thread for mane and tail. Attached were two white wings made of soft white feathers that made it all too clear who the box was from.

"Pegasus!" Kaiba immediately started looking for more security guards to hire.

By Tuesday, Kaiba had rearranged his desk so that three ten-inch models of Blue Eyes White Dragons surrounded the hapless winged horse in an inescapable death trap. His secretary was nearly fired for remarking how cute it was that he was playing with toys—had Mokuba not intervened.

"She didn't mean anything by it, big brother." Mokuba smiled. "I know you're bored lately since you haven't dueled anyone…all you do is work. It's nice to see you playing, everyone here worries about you just as much as I do, that's all."

"I wasn't playing…" Kaiba grumbled as he worked on his computer.

"Sure, Seto." Mokuba smirked.

No packages showed up mysteriously at his office that entire day. He pushed the pegasus over onto its side on his way out at closing time and laughed victoriously to himself.

Wednesday morning, Kaiba developed a prominent twitch as he saw his little brother preventing his access into his own company. Seto Kaiba didn't take vacations, he was never too sick to work, and he never took personal days—they were a waste of his precious time.

"Seto, take your birthday off. You don't turn twenty every day you know." Mokuba folded his arms as he blocked the doorway.

"It's just another day, nothing special. I need to take care of our company."

"Please. I can take care of it—you were made President when you were a year older than I am now, I can handle it."

"Mokuba…move."

"Look, you're twenty years old and taking care of your fourteen year old brother. Legally, here in Japan, I've been the age of consent for over a year, so I'm technically an adult. I don't need you to look after me anymore; you can take a break once in awhile."

"I don't need to take a break. And you're not legally an adult until you're twenty, so you're still a kid, no matter what."

"Seto, that's bullshit and you know it. You were never legally declared an adult by the court system, but now you are, in every sense of the word. You should celebrate." Mokuba shook his head. "Haven't you ever thought about settling down and starting a new family? If I get married and move away, you'll be all alone."

"I don't have time for this." Kaiba tried to go inside but Mokuba refused to let him.

"You have all the time in the world, big brother. What about that secretary of yours? She thinks you're cute."

"Ugh, no. Mokuba, I despise women. They are needy, noisy, annoying, conniving, disgusting, and they like to spend other peoples' money. No thanks." Kaiba was confident that had ended the conversation when Mokuba threw him for a loop.

"What about men?" Asked innocently enough.

"What?!" Kaiba lost his composure as he looked at his little brother like he'd just asked for a sex change.

"True, the same can be said for some guys, but my point is you should get out there and find someone else to spend your life with. I won't be here forever." Mokuba hugged his brother and ran inside, leaving his stunned brother on forced vacation.

After Kaiba snapped out of his shock, he determined that Mokuba locked up the front door, turned off the intercom and he couldn't use his private jet without going inside. Maybe he was right, but the idea of dating repelled Kaiba, he didn't even have anyone he considered a friend to talk to. He went home, dressed in a more casual outfit and walked a few blocks to a nearby coffee bar. He sat at a table away from the crowd and sighed. The barista walked near him but he paid no attention until a double mocha espresso was sat before him.

"I haven't ordered yet."

"A gentleman sent it for you, said it was your birthday today."

"Who?" Kaiba's eyebrow rose.

"Didn't say, I'm afraid. He ordered it and left after he paid." She bowed to Kaiba and returned to her post. Kaiba was grateful for the caffeine, even if he was suspicious of the sender's identity.

"Are you stalking me, Pegasus?" Kaiba didn't expect an answer, but he could envision it in his own mind. "What's so great about being twenty? Not like I couldn't have gotten alcohol or cigarettes, had I wanted them badly enough." Kaiba drank his coffee in relative peace as the morning drifted lazily by. Kaiba sighed in boredom and frustration as he finished his drink and began the walk back home. As he walked, he heard his cell-phone ringing and answered it.

"Hey Seto, it's me. How's the vacation?"

"Mokuba, I could be getting seriously behind taking a day off like this…" Kaiba tried his best not to be short with his younger sibling.

"Nonsense! Things are fine here, everyone's glad you're taking a rest day. You're not supposed to work today. Play a game, do something non-constructive. You could go watch television."

Kaiba let himself into the mansion and shook his head, even though the motion couldn't be seen by anyone.

"Television rots your brain…" He smirked as Pegasus once more seeped into his thoughts. "Some more than others."

"Some of my friends are having a party after hours, can I go?"

"Fine, just be home at a decent hour." Kaiba rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I know. And don't let anybody kidnap me on the way home, I got it. Love you, big brother." Mokuba hung up and all Kaiba could hear was dial-tone. Kaiba just knew it was going to be a very long day.
