Summary: It's Seto's least favorite holiday…… beyond that there is no plot whatsoever.
Warnings: very soft boy x boy relationship
Author's note: This is almost six days late. The plot bunny was born on the tenth annual International Free Hugs Day, which was this Monday with my hearing a girl say 'This is a good excuse to hug a cute senior.' Which of course made me think of fangirls and our lovely Domino High bishies. Enjoy!
'Celebrate Free Hugs Day!' commanded the noxiously cute banner over the entrance to Domino High.
Seto Kaiba's eye twitched.
How could he have forgotten the date?
September tenth, the day of hell, International Free Hugs Day. Twenty-four hours of dodging fangirls (and boys) intent on using the ridiculous holiday as an excuse to touch (with wandering hands) the antisocial CEO.
Normally Seto would wait out the sickeningly touchy-feely holiday in his Kaiba Corp office, however, lack of sleep the night before resulted in the absentmindedness that brought him to school today.
It wasn't too late to make a run for it…
"Seto-chaaaannnn!"
Now it was too late.
Seto felt the air squeezed from his lungs by a solidly built second year girl who was usually quite tolerable. Thankfully the hug was brief and her hands did not wander and with a yell of "Have a good day, Seto-chan!" over her shoulder she ran off to glomp every bishonen in the school.
It had begun…
Before lunch, Seto had been glomped, squeezed, crushed, choked, and molested, all in the name of 'making his day just a little brighter'. Watching his attackers spout that excuse with those cat-that-got-the-cream expressions made him sick--er.
When the bell rang for lunch Seto decided against braving the cafeteria and merely continued to sit at his desk with the book he had stowed in his briefcase.
Seto sat, fumed, and attempted to read his book. It took him several pages before he realized he had no idea what he just read. Rather than admit that his stalkers had gotten to him, however, he continued to glare at the unfortunate novel that had done nothing wrong.
In fact, the brunette was so focused on his glaring, he didn't hear someone come up behind him until they wrapped their arms loosely around his shoulders and rested their chin on his left.
Startled, Seto turned and was met with a face-full of white hair. "Ryo?"
The white-haired teen shrugged (albeit a bit awkwardly), "You looked like you were having a bad day."
He scowled, "I've had too many people hanging on me."
Ryo mock-pouted, "Fine, I'll go." He began to pull away but found his hands being held in place around Seto's shoulders. Ryo smiled, kissed his boyfriend's cheek, and rested his chin on the brunette's shoulder again.
They stayed like that until the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch when Ryo gave Seto a gentle squeeze and whispered, "Happy Free Hugs Day, Seto." And walked back to his seat.
Seto smiled to himself, okay, so maybe it wasn't so bad…
"Seto-chaaaaannnn!"
Maybe not.
